Everyone Who Is Born From God Has Won The Victory Over The World ! (1 John 5:4a) The moment you accepted Jesus as your Savior, you were born again and received the gift of God that made you more than a conqueror. We’re not trying to get to victory; we already have victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ! (1 Corinthians 15:57) We may be experiencing some failures or setbacks in life right now, but only good will come out of our situations, because in all things we are more than conquerors! (Romans 8:28, Romans 8:37) I encourage you to continue to fix your eyes on Jesus, fight the good fight of faith and walk in the power that gives us the victory in this world! (1 Timothy 6:12, 1 John 5:4) “I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world." (John 16:33 HCSB) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, I thank you for the power and victory you’ve given me as your child! My desire is your d...

The LORD Goes Before You! He Will Be With You; He Will Never Leave You Or Fail You ! (Deuteronomy 31:8) In Exodus 13:21 NIV, we read the LORD went ahead of the children of Israel in a pillar of cloud to lead them on their way during the day and in a pillar of fire to give them light at night, so that they could travel day or night. As the LORD led the children of Israel, God’s hand is in our lives to guide us; his strength is there to support us and show us we’re never out of his reach! (2 Corinthians 12:9, Isaiah 41:10) I encourage you when all else fails, when you run out of options, continue to trust God to renew your strength and guide you along right paths, bringing honor to his Name. (Psalm 23:3) "The mountains may move, and the hills may shake, but My love and faithfulness will never depart from you!" (Isaiah 54:10) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, you have brought me this far and I thank you for the promise that you will never leave me or disown me. I thank...

As believers, we all encounter trials and difficulties in life, to build character and to strengthen our faith. We can get through those difficult moments by clinging to God, anchoring our hearts to his word and leaving room for him to bring everything together according to his plan and timing. (Romans 8:28) We may not always understand the purpose of our trials, but God simply asks that we trust Him—even when it’s not easy. I encourage you, when it seems the doors of possibilities are closed, when it seems all resources are exhausted or when it seems there is no longer hope—believe God Is Able! “When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end—because I am God, the Holy one of Israel, your Savior! (Isaiah 43:2) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, during times of difficulty, may my eyes remain focused on your kingdom, my heart centered on you and my mind...

The LORD Almighty Is Our Strength ! (Habakkuk 3:19) Walking in faith can seem frightening; it involves taking us out of our comfort zone and trusting God with not just some of our life, but with all of our life. The good news is—God is forever faithful! (Lamentations 3:22) It’s in those uncomfortable places, those places where it seems there’s no way out, those places things seem impossible— the LORD Almighty strengthens us to overcome things we could never conquer ourselves. In those uncomfortable places, by faith, we can identify with God’s suffering and trust in God’s strength!   I encourage you to go in the strength of the LORD and trust Christ in you to accomplish what you cannot do on your own!   "My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak." “I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will support you with my victorious right hand.” (2 Corinthians 12:9, Isaiah 41:10) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : Awesome, all powerful God...

Stand Still And See What The LORD Will Do To Save You Today ! (Exodus 14:13 GWT) When it seems problems are permanent and sorrows are growing, never forget—God will never fail you or abandon you. (Deuteronomy 31:6) In life, attacks will come, there will be days you will have to fight with all of your might, but you never have to fight alone. There is power when we stand on the promises found in the Word of God. There is power when you speak scripture and there is power when you call on His Name! I encourage you no matter how ugly your situation may look, stand on the promises of God and know our God is on His throne!    “ I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand and say to you, 'Don't be afraid; I will help you !” (Isaiah 41:13 GWT) ~God Pray This Prayer With Me : Lord, I surrender all to you this day and I put my life and trust in you alone, knowing victory is mine! Father, thank you for being Jehovah Jireh, my provider, Jehovah Rapha, my healer, Jehovah Shamma, you ar...

Anyone Who Belongs To Christ Has Become A New Person. The Old Life Is Gone; A New Life Has Begun! (2 Corinthians 5:17) In order to be transformed into the new life God has promised, we must commit everything we do to the LORD, trust him and allow him to help us. (Psalm 37:5) As we commit our way to the Lord and trust Him in our everyday affairs of life, we experience the power of God’s supernatural and miraculous hand. I encourage you always speak in faith, walk in faith and ask the LORD to guide you daily into His will for you. All things do work together for those who are called according to his purpose! (Romans 8:28) “Forget what happened in the past, and do not dwell on events from long ago. I am going to do something new!” (Isaiah 43:18-19) “What I said in the past has come true. I reveal new things before they happen!” (Isaiah 42:9 GWT) ~God Pray this prayer with me: Father, I ask that you will strengthen me to continue to be persistent to press ahead despite every difficulty...

Give All Your Worries And Cares To God, For He Cares For You! (1 Peter 5:7 NLT) Every day, you have to make a choice on whether or not you’re going to be in control of your life or God. There are things in our lives that human nature “flesh” wants to control. Human nature wants to make the rules, however a life of serenity starts by letting God be God. When we let God be God, we give God control, knowing he can control the things that are out of control in our lives. Life may not be where you want it to be at the moment or the way God is working it out may not be the way you would have done it, however, never forget we have a loving heavenly Father who is all powerful and desires the very best for his children. I encourage you to leave the outcome to God and then God's peace, which goes beyond anything you can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7) “Let go of your concerns! Then you will know that I am God. I rule the nations. I rul...
