The LORD Is Fighting For You! So Be Still! (Exodus 14:14 GWT) This scripture speaks to us when it says, “The LORD Is Fighting For You! So Be Still!” As you face the battles of life by faith trusting God, nothing built or intended for you or against you will succeed. (Isaiah 54:17 NKJV) Why? After you’ve heard the word, prayed, standing in faith believing, keep a watchful eye on the LORD to save! (Exodus 14:13 GWT) Although it may seem like the enemy is winning the battle for a while, due to declining health, job loss, an unruly child, relationship troubles, in the end you will get the victory, because God is a guaranteed Victor! “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 : 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 and I put my life and ...

Those Who Trust In The LORD Will Renew Their Strength; They Will Soar On Wings Like Eagles; They Will Run And Not Grow Weary; They Will Walk And Not Faint ! (Isaiah 40:31 HCSB) The King James Version teaches, “They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength!” Test and trials in the life of a Christian is not a wasted experience. Times of testing prove the realness of our faith in Christ. (Hebrews 11:1, 2 Corinthians 5:7, 2 Corinthians 4:18) The good news is, every day and every moment needs God’s signature of approval and if God wasn’t going to use our difficulty for our good, He wouldn’t have allowed it to happen. (Romans 8:28) Psalm 25:3 teaches, “No one who waits for the LORD will ever be put to shame.” So how do we wait? We wait standing on God’s everlasting promises, we wait in humility, knowing the humble will be lifted up and we wait encouraged, knowing our God is forever faithful in keeping us and keeping His promises! (Hebrews 10:23, Matthew 23:12, Psalm 27:14) ...

How often has God desired to reveal His supernatural power and take us to greater dimensions, but we became stuck in what was going on around us or we couldn’t see beyond our immediate circumstances? (Exodus 14, Hebrews 11:1, 2 Corinthians 5:7) Ephesians 3:20 teaches us how to maximize the power of God by thinking and asking in faith, according to God’s power within us. (Matthew 7:7-8, Philippians 4:8, Psalm 1:1-3) I encourage you to believe God beyond what you see or feel and allow God to show Himself strong within! (1 John 4:4, 2 Chronicles 16:9) "Nothing is too hard for Me!” (Jeremiah 32:27 GWT) ~God Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, as I seek Your Kingdom daily, my desire is that my eyes and heart will always be in tune to the correct understanding and divine interpretation, so my steps are aligned with Your Holy Spirit. I ask that You empower me beyond my physical senses, so I may walk in the greatness You have preordained. I humbly pray, in Jesus' Name, Amen. Neve...

Stand Still And See What The LORD Will Do To Save You Today! (Exodus 14:13 GWT) Many times as problems seem permanent and sorrows grow, it seems we’re all alone. But, the great I Am says, ““I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you!” (Joshua 1:5 NIV) We must never forget, even when we are heavy burdened, our loving Father is with us through it all and His plan is to work it all out for the good of all who love the Him! (Matthew 11:28, Matthew 1:23, Romans 8:28) God never leaves us to battle our way through difficulty alone. (Psalms 24:8) I encourage you whatever you’re battling—don’t give up and don’t give in. Allow your faith in God and God’s strength to be your anchor! (Habakkuk 3:19) "My Grace is all you need. My Power is strongest, when you are weak!" (2 Corinthians 12:9) "I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you!” (Isaiah 41:10) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: Awesome, all powerful God who lives within me and strengthens me daily,...

It is enough the LORD our Shepherd walks with us through life’s events, through all our plans, through all of our actions, through all our struggles, through all of our pain, but He does much more than that. You may not see the answer and you may not understand why, but while we're struggling with the impossibilities of today, God is already hard at work providing solutions and possibilities for our current conditions and what we’ll face tomorrow! Matthew 6:34 MSG encourages you to, “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.” “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: Almighty Fathe...

Give All Your Worries And Cares To God—He Cares For You ! (1 Peter 5:7 NLT) The Bible is filled with stories that demonstrate the hand of God in the lives of people who have tried countless time to become completely independent. A life of peacefulness starts by letting God be God, giving our sovereign God complete control of our life and circumstances. It’s there we find incredible comfort and strength in accepting God is in control no matter what He chooses to allow, even when circumstances seem unending and life is most difficult. Whatever is happening in your life, it may be out of your control, but it’s not out of our God who loves you control. (Romans 8:28) Even when life is hard, take comfort in knowing our God has covered it all. (Revelation 1:8, Deuteronomy 31:8, Joshua 1:5 NIV)) I encourage you to leave the outcome to God and allow God's peace, which goes beyond anything you can imagine, guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus! (Philippians 4:7, Hebrews 12:2,...

The Earnest Prayer Of A Righteous Person Has Great Power And Produces Wonderful Results ! (James 5:14-16 NLT) We’ve all had something in our past or present that we try to shake but quickly found it difficult at times to do. By praying and believing God can heal every sickness, solve every problem and nothing is impossible for our God, an army rises up within us and around us to help us break every chain! (Isaiah 53:5, Mark 9:23, 1 John 4:4, Psalm 34:7) The unknown, fear and unbelief challenges our faith, but faith says, “No matter what’s going on or if I see nothing happening, I love God and God loves me—God will work this out for my good, according to His purpose!” (Hebrews 11:1, 2 Corinthians 5:7, Romans 8:24) I encourage you to approach God's Throne of Grace today with confidence, tell God what you need and begin to thank Him for all He has done! (Philippians 4:6) " Pray All The Time And Never Give Up !" “That's why I tell you to have faith that you have already...
