It’s because of Christ we experience awesome victory and success in areas of our life where it seems the only option is failure or defeat. ( Romans 8:37) This God given victory is all-inclusive when the scripture says, “ Because of Christ we always succeed!” Meaning we always have victory—it’s never a hit or miss. (Romans 8:28) God takes our struggles, leads us to victory and uses the knowledge we gain from our struggle as a testimony and encouragement to all! ( Revelation 12:11, Luke 22:31-32) I encourage you to change your view of your condition and allow the Holy Spirit to help you to see your victory is already won! (Hebrews 11:1, 2 Corinthians 5:7, 1 John 5:4) “I've told you this so that My peace will be with you. In this world you'll have trouble. But cheer up! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33 GWT) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, Your plans for me are amazing and almost impossible for me to see without the eye-opening help of Your Spirit. I ask...

Greater Is He That Is In You ! (1 John 4:4) When tragedy or difficulty comes, it’s easy to doubt and look at our conditions as a setback .During those moments, we must walk by faith holding tight to God’s promises, trusting and knowing—God is faithful in us and for us! (1 John 5:4, 2 Corinthians 1:20, 2 Corinthians 5:7) God is the ultimate champion at bringing people from a place of devastation to a place of total deliverance and victory. (John 16:33) No matter the circumstances surrounding, we’re not failures, we’re not quitters—we’re champions elected by God! (Ephesians 1:4-6) I encourage you to be absolutely confident—nothing is too hard for God and everything God has promised, He is able to do it! (Romans 4:21) "Pray all the time and never give up!" (Luke 18:1) "I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake or let you down! (Hebrews 13:5 Amp) “Nothing is too hard for Me!” (Jeremiah 32:27) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, thank You for Your goodn...

Believe You Will See The Goodness Of The LORD ! (Psalm 27:13) Waiting for God’s timing is never wasted time, it’s important in growing our faith! While waiting in faith our sight is limited, but as we walk by faith and not by sight, our faith yields good and eternal results! (Hebrews 11:1, 2 Corinthians 5:7, 2 Corinthians 4:18) I encourage you not to give in to conditions that surround you—your greatest blessing may be hidden in trouble and hardship. (Job 42:10) It may have started out bad and was intended for bad, but God can turn it around for your good! (Genesis 50:20) “Never worry about anything, but in every situation let Me know what you need in prayers and requests while giving thanks! Then My peace, which goes beyond anything you can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions!” (Philippians 4:6-7) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, teach me to recognize when I’m to take a seat in Your "waiting room.” As I wait for Your perfect will and timing, I ask for Your g...

The LORD Himself Goes Before You And Will Be With You; He Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You. Do Not Be Afraid; Do Not Be Discouraged ! (Deuteronomy 31:8) As we live, we will face life’s challenges, however difficult, God promises to make a way where there seems to be no way and He will work it all out for good! (John 16:33, Isaiah 43:19, Romans 8:28) I encourage you stand firm in faith, believe God’s loving plans are to prosper you and not harm you, and give you hope and a future! (Jeremiah 29:11) “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 MSG) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, I ask that You empower me each day, as I live a life of faith and purpose. As I continue to walk in my predestined places, thank You for preparing a way, so I may experience all that You have prepared f...

The Lord God Is Your Strength, Your Personal Bravery & Your Invincible Army ! (Habakkuk 3:19 AMP) When trials come and frustrations begin to grow, it’s easy to feel down and weary. The Word of God tells us in Matthew 26:41, “The spirit is still willing, but flesh is weak.” The spirit is willing to keep praying, believing, pressing and standing firm in faith, even under pressure. It is the reliance on the Holy Spirit and the expectation of God’s promises that keeps us focused on the future. (Jeremiah 29:11) I encourage you to take this word to heart and open the door to greatness, restoration and rewards God has for you as an heir of God and co-heirs with Christ! (Romans 8:17) “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, your personal God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior!” (Isaiah 43:1-6) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, t...

Great Is God’s Faithfulness Towards Us! The Faithful Love Of The LORD Never Ends! His mercies never cease! They are new Every Morning!

(Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28) I encourage you, no matter what you’re experiencing, believe—in all these things we’re more than victorious through Him who loved us! (Romans 8:37 HCSB) “I'm with you; don't be anxious, because I am your God. I keep on strengthening you; I'm truly helping you. I'm surely upholding you with my victorious right hand!" (Isaiah 41:10 ISV) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, thank You for Your love for me that’s more powerful than anything in creation, past, present and future! I trust You’re faithful to every promise and for that reason I am grateful! I humbly pray, in Jesus' mighty name, amen… Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you and you are extremely valuable...

Whatever You Plant Is What You Will Harvest ! (Galatians 6:7 GWT) Whether we know it as “you going to reap what you sow” or “what goes around comes around.” If people followed this Golden Rule, “Do unto others what you would like them to do to you,” this world would be a better place. (Matthew 7:12) Everyone, to include Christian and non-Christian, don’t follow this rule, because they continuously hold grudges, say and do mean things to people with no regard. If you’re a Cristian and you don’t practice this rule, I encourage you to continue to do right, when wronged, bless, when cursed, love, when hated, pray, when preyed on and always forgive quickly. (Luke 6:28, John 15:18, Mark 11:25) Christians are called to a fullness of life which far exceeds the dimensions of our earthly existence and we cannot miss Heaven and all of its blessings, getting even or harvesting unforgiveness, just because someone wronged us. Whatever treatment we expect to receive from God, is the same measure we m...
