Even When We Feel God Is Late, According To Our Schedules, Deadlines & Plans, He Is Always On Time! I Need You Lord Right Now! God is a present help, when we're in trouble. God said, "because trouble is near, I’m here to cover and strengthen you." I am available to you, to deliver from anything you’re going through... God is our refuge and strength, an “ever-present help” in times of trouble! (Psalm 46:1) You're Anointed, To Make It Through ! In the 23rd Psalms David said, yes I know I’m walking through this valley, but, I fear no evil. David goes on to say, as I go through my valley experience, God anoints my head with oil. Yes, there will be times we go through things that feel like death, but it's not meant to kill us, it's to intended to anoint and bless us. God doesn't want us to continue to go through the things that continue to keep us bound and defeated, so He allows us to go through things to anoint us, because it's the anointing that d...

Your Faith Gives You Victory! Faith is not about things turning out okay, but faith is about being okay, no matter how things turn out! …because everyone who has been born from God has won the victory over the world. Our faith is what wins the victory over the world! (1 John 5:4 Amp) God's Spirit In You Is More Powerful Than The One That Is In The World! (1 John 4:4) Aren’t you glad, God not only remains with us when trouble is near, but God leads us and give us the victory? In this season, it’s time for the people of God to believe God for increase and prepare ourselves to go to another level in God, but it's going to take us believing and knowing God still works miracles, God still heals and God is seeking for people just like you and me to show Himself Mighty through! The occasional disappointments and failures in life are to be expected, but even when we encounter bitter disappointments, we must never let go of our faith and trust in God. God knows where you are right now ...

Your Joy Is Here! His anger lasts only a moment. His Favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may last for the night, but there is a song of Joy In The Morning! (Psalm 30:5) Our suffering is light and temporary and is producing for us an eternal glory that is greater than anything we can imagine! (2 Corinthians 4:17) The Trying Of Your Faith Creates Your Greatest Strength! My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials; you know that such testing of your faith produces endurance. Endure until your testing is over. Then you will be mature and complete, and you won't need anything! (James 1:4) If God feels far away from you on today, get closer to God, by praying and seeking His Word and know that He will come closer to you in response. (James 4:8) If you’re hurting today, if it feels as if God has forgotten your name, your address or your situation: Cry out to God and know that He will answer you! Cast all your worries and cares upon Him "because He cares for you...

Hang In There, Until Your Victory Is Won! The race isn't [won] by fast runners, or the battle by heroes! (Ecclesiastes 9:11) But whoever will endure until the end will be saved! (Matthew 24:13) Those who wait patiently on God and put their trust in Him will be rewarded. Even if you're not the fastest in this race called life, you'll be rewarded, but you must continue to run, until the race is over and won! You Are A Winner, Running At Your Pace! We must run the race that lies ahead of us and never give up! (Hebrews 12:1) In this world we will have trouble: things get hard for us and we sometimes run long and strong (we give our best), but see others pass us by. We don't get the promotion, the new car, the new house or our relationships fails, but cheer up, Christ has overcome the world! (John 16:33) Even when God is late, He is always on time! Sometimes it seems like God is slow to act or to get involved where He's needed, but we must wait patiently on the Lord an...

God's Treasure Is In You, To Show Forth His Greatness Through You! Our bodies are made of clay, yet we have the treasure of the Good News in them. This shows that the Superior Power of this treasure belongs to God and doesn't come from us! (2 Corinthians 4:7) Everyone who has been born from God has won the victory over the world. Our faith is what wins the victory over the world! (1 John 5:4) You Are A Great Work From God's Hands! You were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of God, who called you out of darkness into His Marvelous Light! (1 Peter 2:9) If you don't feel valuable or, if you don't feel treasured, know this: The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. (Matthew 13:44) God sees you and what He put in you, for His Glory, as precious treasure. He gave up all He had to buy you back, from the power of darkness. Hebrews 12:2 says,...

D on't Give Up On God, Because He Will Never Give Up On You! God Is Willing & God Is Able! The LORD's people may suffer a lot, but he will always bring them safely through. (Psalm 34:19) It's in those low places the Lord meets us with a special strength to overcome things we could never conquer ourselves. Don't back away, but trust God to bring you through it all victoriously! Pain Is Temporary, But God's Promises Are Everlasting! The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before our generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good! (1 Peter 5:10) As children of God, we will suffer disappointments of many kinds: delayed answers to prayers, relationship crisis, financial crisis and more every day. Whatever we go through is temporary, but where we go to, it's eternal! Whatever challenges or circumstances you may be facing right now, as you trust God in faith, He...

You’re Covered! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night. The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever! (Psalm 121:5-8) Through Your Faith, God is protecting you by His Power, until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see! (1 Peter 1:5) Fear Not! God Is With You! As Jesus realized the pain He would face, like us, He looked for some other way. He was not immediately able to accept the path set before Him. Instead, He struggled and prayed the same thing three times: "My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want Your Will to be done, not mine" (Matthew 26:39) Personally, I'm thankful and eternally grateful that Jesus found the strength to accept God's Plan! As children of God, we look for steps of recovery and we look up a l...
