A blessed life starts with knowing who God is, praising Him without mumbling and complaining. (Daniel 11:32, Numbers 11) Circumstances can turn around when you praise God! (Zephaniah 3:9-20) Praise puts the focus on God and changes your perspective of circumstances around you. People, places and things can take you out of character, only when you give them the space and allow them to do so. I encourage you to go forth in your God-given call with this declaration, “I was created to praise the Lord, so I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalm 148:5,  34:1) “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: Father of exceeding abundance, I give you glory and I’m thankful Your Will is excellent throughout the heavens and the earth! May Your Kin...

Too often many give up on their purpose, because they’re listening to the wrong people, who don’t believe in their God given potential and those who don’t share their dreams. Ecclesiastes 5:3 tells us, “A dream comes with much business and painful effort.” You have to learn how to grow through the pain you experience and not allow pain to grow in you. The criticism you hear from others—cannot outweigh the direction you hear from God. (Isaiah 54:17) When God gives you an assignment, you have to go “all in” for it, don’t backup and don’t look back! (Luke 9:62) Let the words of doubters (nonbelievers) and haters (enemies), roll off your back, while you remain focused, moving forward! God will guide you into your greatest days as you quickly obey His Voice. (Proverbs 3:6)  “No weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from Me. I, the LORD, have sp...

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 Which Path To Take! (Proverbs 3:5-6) Jesus didn’t leave us hopeless and abandoned; He placed an internal force within us, to guide His every decision and direction, but we must renew our mind daily! (John 14:26, John 16:5-16, Romans 12:2) The enemy, satan will use all kinds of trickery to cause frustration and doubt. Seeking the Will of God, rather than seeking to understand, during difficult times, teaches us how to trust God’s awesome connection and resource. (John 10:10) #Trust God’s voice completely! #Your life will be abundantly blessed! (Philippians 4:6, Matthew 7:7-8) WATCH! I'm about to carry out something new & now it's springing up—don't you recognize it? I'm making a way in the wilderness and paths in the desert. (Isaiah 43:19) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, as I seek Your Kingdom daily, Your will and Your ri...

Dear friends, don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you! Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in His suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing His glory when it is revealed to the entire world!” (1 Peter 4:12-13 NLT) God is Jehovah Rapha, our healer, Jehovah Jireh, our provider, Jehovah Gibbor, the LORD God almighty who battles on our behalf, Jehovah Shamma, the LORD is with us! (Exodus 15:26, Genesis 22:14, Psalms 24:8, Ezekiel 48:35) #God will never leave you nor forsake you! (Deuteronomy 31:6) #Victory Belongs To Jesus & Victory Belongs To Us! (1 Corinthians 15:55-57) #Your Victory Is Already Won! (1 John 5:4) #Whatever is going on in your life, God Has It All Under His Control! (Job 26:7-8) "Don't panic. I'm with you. There's no need to fear for I'm your God. I'll give you strength. I'll help you. I'll hold you steady, kee...

“I WILL SAY!” meaning, “I won’t be quiet or ashamed as it relates to my faith!” (Romans 10:11) By faith, voicing “God is my Refuge and Fortress,” releases the power of God into your circumstances! Every word you speak carries with it either life or death. (Proverbs 18:21) The question is, What do you believe and voice, when test and trails are present? When you’re given a bad report, Is God still Jehovah Rapha, your healer? (Exodus 15:26, Psalm 147:3) When the bank account is in the negative, Is God Jehovah Jireh, your provider? (Genesis 22:14) When danger comes, Do you trust Him to be Jehovah Gibbor, the LORD God almighty who battles on your behalf? (Psalms 24:8) If the LORD has redeemed you, speak out! Tell others, “He has redeemed me from my enemies!” (Psalm 107:1-2) “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) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, forgive me for ti...

The LORD Himself Goes Before You & Will Be With You & Will Never Leave You Or Forsake You! You have nothing to be afraid of or discouraged over! (Deuteronomy 31:8) #Trust the LORD with all your heart and do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do & He will show you which path to take! (Proverbs 3:5-6) “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: 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 for me! (Philippians 4:19, John 14:1-3) I humbly pray, in Jesus' name, amen. Have a great day! Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you and you are extr...

Blessed Are Those Who Haven't Seen Me But Believe! (John 20:29) ~ GOD The Bible is filled with many supernatural promises that are crystal clear in their meaning, but yet, many find themselves struggling to believe. It’s only when we view our circumstances through the promises of God's Word, we begin to experience God’s miraculous and supernatural! We were created to allow our hearts and minds to think and dream of great accomplishments for God’s Kingdom! (Ephesians 3:20) Your flesh will try to stop your walk in supernatural faith, but you must press on, no matter what, continue to walk by faith, holding tight to God’s promises, trusting and knowing—God is FAITHFUL and He will NEVER fail you! (Hebrews 11:1, 2 Corinthians 4:18, 2 Corinthians 1:20) "Nothing is too hard for Me!” “If you can believe, all things are possible to the one who believes!" (Jeremiah 32:27, Mark 9:23) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD of exceeding and plentiful, who knows how to bless Hi...
