Let Us Not Be Weary In Well Doing: For In Due Season, We Shall Reap A Harvest Of Blessing If We Don't Give Up ! (Galatians 6:9 NLT) Life as a Christian involves overcoming obstacles, rising above circumstances and facing challenges successfully by faith. Life’s tests and trials are a part of life and they are to be expected. The word “due” in Galatians 6:9 means “it is owed to you.” If you’re working diligently, seeking first God’s Kingdom and God’s righteousness, everything you need will be given to you!(Luke 9:62, Matthew 6:33, Matthew 19:28-30) I encourage you not to get discouraged over what you do not see, but rejoice in the God of our salvation, who has already won eternal victory for everyone who believes! (Hebrews 11:1, Habakkuk 3:17, John 16:33, 2 Corinthians 4:17-18)    "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 : Father, today I choose ...

Greater Is He That Is In You! (1 John 4:4) It’s too easy to give up, when test and trials weigh heavily in our lives, but with God all things are possible! (Matthew 19:26) Champions are not hearers of the Word only; they are doers of the Word! (James 1:22) I encourage you, even if you’re encountering one of the most difficult times in your life, don’t quit, do not see yourself as a failure, you can make it through all things through Christ who gives you strength! (Philippians 4:13) "Pray all the time and never give up!" (Luke 18:1) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, Your promises have stood the test of time, spoken time and time again in Your Word and You have fulfilled Your promises to followers throughout thousands of years.   May this simple truth on today sustain me to believe that as I trust in You, my impossible will turn to possible because I believe. I humbly pray, in Jesus' name, amen… Have a great day! Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you ...

In Exodus 14, the children of Israel faced the Red Sea with nowhere to go. In our very own lives we too will have those Red Sea moments, where we feel stuck and defeated with nowhere to go. What we may see as immobile and defeat, God sees as moments to stretch our faith and bring great deliverance! (Isaiah 54:2-3) When we trust God totally through difficulty, it affirms our faith and maximizes the power of God and gifts we never knew we had within us. (2 Corinthians 12:9) As you continue reading Exodus 14, you will see God made a way out of no way for the children of Israel. The same God that made a way for them is the same God that will make a way for you too! I encourage you to take the time through spiritual discipline, to see the advantages God has given you. Walk in your destiny, through and on the other side of your Read Sea, there is greater peace, favor and a fresh and greater anointing! “Forget what happened in the past and do not dwell on events from long ago. I Am Going To...

Do Not Be Agitated By Evildoers; Do Not Envy Those Who Do Wrong. They Will Wither Quickly Like Grass & Dry Up Like Tender Green Plants. Trust In The LORD & Do What Is Good! (Psalm 37:1-4 HCSB, Proverbs 24:1-2) Romans 12:21 amp says, “Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but master evil with good!” We fight a real enemy daily. Although Satan uses people, it’s not people we’re to fight. We fight Satan and all of his devices, not carnally, but spiritually. (Ephesians 6:10-18, 2 Corinthians 10:4) Satan’s plans are revealed to us, not so we can get even or to cause us distress, but so we can pray and not fear. We know God has already defeated every plan of the enemy and will not allow the enemy to harm us! (Luke 10:19, Isaiah 54:17) I encourage you to hold firmly to your declaration of faith, fight the good fight of faith and stand still and see the salvation of the LORD on your behalf! (Hebrews 10:23-24, 1 Timothy 6:12, Exodus 14:13) “Don’t insist on getting even; that’s not ...

Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not promised, so today is all we have. ( Psalm 90:12) Yesterday was for learning and choices, and tomorrow will be the consequences of what we do today. ( Galatians 6:6-8) Today you can invest your most valuable resource—TIME. You can choose to complain about all today has to offer or you can choose to find something to be thankful for! ( John 16:33, Philippians 4:8-9, 1 Thessalonians 5:18) After all, it could be worse. I encourage you to take a moment and truly think about who created this day and everything in this day, and rejoice and be glad in God’s wonderful gift to you! “Rejoice and be glad, because you have a great reward in heaven!” (Matthew 5:12) ~God Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, thank You for this day of learning, choices, new grace, mercy and love! (Lamentations 3:22-23) As I cherish this day You have purposed for me, I pray that my life brings You glory and honor. I humbly pray, in Jesus' name, amen. Have a great day and a great we...

His Mercies Never Cease! His Mercies Are New Every Morning! (Lamentations 3:22-23 NLT) God’s unconditional love for us is beyond understanding! Even when we disappoint Him, His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime! (Psalm 30:5) You may be experiencing discipline in your current situation, but the LORD is not mad at you—whoever He disciplines He loves! (Hebrews 12:4-6, Psalm 119:67) Absolutely nothing can separate us from the love of God! (Romans 8:37-39) I encourage you when experiencing the fiery trials and afflictions, to rely heavily on God’s Spirit who dwells within you! (1 John 4:4, Philippians 4:13) His very existence, creative power and abilities are waiting for us to walk in the fullness of our creativity! ( Romans 8:26-27, Romans 8:19) "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, I ask that You strengthen me to have firm f...

The LORD Is Fighting For You! So Be Still! (Exodus 14:14 GWT) Even though life challenges come, if your faith is in the LORD, “the LORD your God Himself will fight for you!” (Deuteronomy 3:22) Although it may seem like the enemy is winning or has won the battle for a while, due to sickness, job loss, a disobedient child, an emotional roller coaster—in the end you will get the victory, because our God is a guaranteed Victor! (Revelation 5:1-10) “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for!" (Jeremiah 29:11 MSG) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, thank You for being Jehovah Jireh—my provider, Jehovah Rapha—my healer, Jehovah Shamma—You are with me, Jehovah Gibbor—The LORD Mighty In Battle! I surrender all to You this day and I put my life and trust in You alone, knowing victory is mine, because You have won the victory! (John 16:33) I humbly pray this prayer, in Jesus' name, ame...
