" If You Abide In Me And My Words Abide In You, You Can Ask For Anything You Want, And You'll Receive It ! (John 15:7 ISV) ~ God  The word “abide” means to remain or continue in God’s word. This word can also be translated to dwell, to take up residence or to live within. In John 15:7 GWT, Jesus speaks to us when He says, “If you live in Me and what I say lives in you, then ask for anything you want and it will be yours!” Allowing God’s words to guide our thoughts and constantly flow from our lips, our lives are never the same and we’re forever transformed by the supernatural power of God! (Joshua 1:8) On the other hand, if we’re not abiding in God’s word, if we’re not basing everything we believe on the Word of God, we cannot expect to receive the true manifestation and benefits of His word. God wants us to know His truth, as He lives in us and us in Him. When we learn to live the life that pleases God, God will give us what we ask for! I encourage you to allow God to live ...

Until I began seriously studying the Bible and meditating on God’s Word some years back, I did not know how much my faith could have on my life and the lives of others. In Matthew 9:29 NASB Jesus says, "It shall be done to you according to your faith." We do not have to become victim to our circumstances, when we can have faith in our God who is able to do anything! No problem is too hard for God to solve, no valley is too low God can’t raise, no mountain is too high God can’t lower, no rough place is too rough God can’t make smooth! (Jeremiah 32:27, Isaiah 40:4-5) God is able to cause change with a single spoken word and He is able to handle our most pressing concerns and troubles. I encourage you to remain focused, keep believing, meditating and obeying God’s Word! You will experience the limitless greatness of God’s power for everyone who believes! (Ephesians 1:19) "Because Of Your Faith, It Will Happen!" (Matthew 9:29 NLT) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: Lor...

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 ISV, The LORD went before the Children of Israel by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so they could travel both day and night. During moments of loneliness, sickness and difficulty, satan tries to fill our minds with thoughts of anxiety, hopelessness and defeat. Whenever satan comes in all directions against us, we’re to lift up our shield of faith, destroying every argument that sets itself up against the knowledge of God’s Word. (Ephesians 6:16, 2 Corinthians 10:5) The same God that guided the Children of Israel, is the same God of this generation that can and will go before you and see you through anything and everything! (1 John 4:4) I encourage you to continue to trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do & He will show you...

Your Vision Hurries Toward Its Goal ! It won't be a lie. If it's delayed, wait for it. It will certainly happen. It Won't Be Late!” (Habakkuk 2:3 GWT) Ecclesiastes 5:3 teaches, “A dream comes with much business and painful effort.” In pursuit of your dreams, you can expect un-comfortability and you may experience pain or delay. Hurt, before healing, financial difficulty, before abundance, loneliness, before happily married, renting longer than expected, before owning your own home, however faithfulness starts small. (Matthew 25:21) Just because things aren’t exactly as you desire them to be at this moment or everything hasn’t unfolded as you would have desired—doesn’t mean God Almighty isn’t able to reach down and work through broken and imperfect vessels like us! (Jeremiah 18:6, Matthew 9:17) We are God’s workmanship. Before God built the dream, He built the dreamer. (Ephesians 2:10, Jeremiah 1:5) I encourage you to press through the difficulty, whether it’s one minute or ...

There is power in you to speak those things that be not as though they were—the power of the Holy Spirit! (John 14:15-17) In Romans 4:17 ISV, God demonstrates His faith when He calls into existence things that don't yet exist. Our God is so powerful that He says things are so, before there is physical proof that they are so. (2 Corinthians 5:7 NLT, Genesis 1) You do not have to give in to circumstances around you, because God has given you the power to create with faith-filled words. (Proverbs 18:20, Mark 11:23) I encourage you to speak by faith, “By His strips I am healed—Isaiah 53:5,” and you and those around you will become healed! By faith speak, “My God shall supply all my needs—Philippians 4:19,” and all of your needs will be met in abundance! Continue to meditate and speak the Word of God into your existence and experience what God is able to do far more abundantly above all you can ask or think, according to His power at work within you! (Ephesians 3:20) "I am the...

No matter the circumstances, if you’re following Christ, He’ll always lead you in a victory parade! You’ll experience victory in areas of your life where it seems the only option is disappointment or loss. This God given victory is all-encompassing, because the scripture says, Christ “always,” meaning it’s not a hit or miss! From death to life, illness to healed, jobless to a successful career, from stress to no worries, from struggle to accomplishment, from sadness to joy, etc… Our God Almighty takes failure from whoever will give it to Him and gives success in all things! (1 Peter 5:7) I encourage you to change your viewpoint of your condition, even if it seems like there is no progress, because if your trust is in the LORD, nothing will interrupt your victory—in all things you’re more than a conqueror through Him who loves you! (Romans 8:37) “I've told you this so that My peace will be with you. In the world you'll have trouble. But cheer up! I have overcome the world....

The scripture tells us, “After you have done the will of the LORD, you will receive all He has promised!” (Hebrews 10:36) Not some, but all! If you waiting on God, don’t quit, don’t run away from the problem, pace yourself—you will receive what God promised in abundance physically, financially, relationally, emotionally, according to His perfect will! (Psalm 25:3-4, Isaiah 40:31, Galatians 6:9) I encourage you while waiting, to remain positive, keep your expectations high and let your dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions louder than your words! (James 2:14) “I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future!” “I am the LORD! If I say it, it will happen. There will be no more delays!”(Jeremiah 29:11, Ezekiel 12:25) ~ God   Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, Your Word says that You will strengthen me for whatever You allow in my life. (Colossians 1:9-12) I ask that You strengthen me at all times and giv...
