Every Child Of God Defeats This Evil World, And We Achieve This Victory Through Our Faith ! (1 John 5:4) We’re overcomers through Christ, because everything has already been defeated by Christ's life here on earth and at Calvary! (Romans 8:37) Glory To God! Faith Isn't About Things Turning Out Okay, But It's About Being Okay, No Matter How Things Turn Out ! ~ Author Unknown~ Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His Promise! (Hebrews 10:23) We can't receive God's Love for us just by circumstances alone, because when we receive God's Love and conditions are at their best, but an unfortunate situation happen in our life, we think: How could a Loving God allow this to happen to me? We have all asked this question, at some point in our lives. However, God never promised we would escape hardship, persecution, poverty or danger (in fact, He promised the opposite); the Promise is that His Love for us would be Grea...

T he race isn't [won] by the fastest runners, or the battle by the strongest heroes… (Ecclesiastes 9:11) …but he who stands firm to the end will be saved ! (Matthew 24:13 NKJV) By your endurance you will save your life! (Luke 21:19) Even if you're not the fastest or the strongest, continue to run, until the race is over and won! You Are A Champion Running At Your Own Speed! We must run the race that lies ahead of us and never give up! (Hebrews 12:1) A Christian’s victory is not found in a short race, but a Christian’s victory is found in a marathon. In order to win a short race a runner must be the fastest and the strongest, but in a marathon the runner must pace him or herself. My point is: To win and be successful in life, we must never stop, until the race is complete. Even when we get tired, we must never forget, God gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! (1 Corinthians 15:57) Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 3:14, I've got my eye on the goal… I...

God Is Able To Do Exceeding Abundantly Above All That We Ask Or Think, According To The Power That’s At Work In Us ! (Ephesians 3:20) The Question Is: What are you asking and what are you thinking? ( A.S.K ) ASK , and you will receive. SEARCH , and you will find. KNOCK , and the door will be opened for you! (Matthew 7:7) As A Man Thinks In His Heart, So Is He ! (Proverbs 23:7) We must hold tightly to the hope that we say is ours. After all, we can trust the one who made the agreement with us. (Hebrews 10:23) Hopelessness will result in an inner image of disappointment, lack, disease and sickness. Hopelessness is the opposite of hope and faith. These inner images, whether they are of hope or of despair, become the blueprint of our faith or our fears. This blueprint will ultimately control your destiny in life. Whatever you do, don't give up, but continue to search the Word of God, in order to build your hope. Search the Bible, to see the inner image God has of you, not what the...

You win the victory over Satan, because of the Blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony ! (Revelation 12:11) Thank God that He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! (1 Corinthians 15:57) You Have The Strength From God, To Gain The Victory Through Him ! You can do everything through Christ who strengthens you! (Philippians 4:13) Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1) If you can see it, then it’s probably not faith, but, if you can believe God, then you can receive it! It’s hard to see the victory God has prepared, when we’re in the middle of difficulty. Although we may have a hard time seeing how God can turn a bad and/or helpless situation around for our good (Romans 8:28), that's a faith moment, when we have to remember to take that step of faith, trust God is in control and God is Willing and Able to give us the victory. As we trust God, we do not have to rely on what we thought would work, but we can s...

God Will Do What He Said He Will Do And He’s Going To Fulfill Every Promise He Has Made To You! God Is Not Only Willing, But God Is Able ! God’s Word that goes out from His mouth: It will not return to Him empty, but will accomplish what God desires and achieve the purpose for which He sent it! (Isaiah 55:11) Although you may not see it in your natural, believe God has called forth goodness and greatness, in your future! What God Has Promised, He Is Also Able To Perform ! (Romans 4:21) Throughout the Word of God, we see God continually speaking to His people to do things that seem extremely difficult or even impossible. If God asked you to do something that you were unable to do, God simply wants you to step out on faith, achieve and see for yourself what He can do, through you and your faith in Christ. Even when we see our greatest failure, God is always setting us up for our greatest miracle and success! No matter what you’re going through or how difficult things may seem, God kno...

Trust The LORD With All Your Heart, And Do Not Rely On Your Own Understanding. In All Your Ways Acknowledge Him, And He Will Make Your Paths Smooth! (Proverbs 3:5-6) God's Peace, which goes beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus! (Philippians 4:7) Whoever Walks In Wisdom Will Survive! (Proverbs 28:26) There are times pain, frustration and difficulty makes it challenging to see God, but even through the difficulty we encounter from day to day, God has a purpose and a plan. God desires to give us wisdom, during our most difficulty times. As we trust God through difficult times, God can use our difficulty to mature us, to make us wiser and stronger, so that we will be more like Jesus Christ our Savior. We may not always be able to see the purpose or see the good that can come from difficulty, but we must trust God loves us and God is in control. (Romans 8:28)Trust Him! Keep your eyes on Him! Watch God use even this difficulty fo...

Don’t Allow Your Limitations To Outweigh Or Discourage Your Expectation! In The Morning, O LORD, You Hear My Voice; In The Morning I Lay My Requests Before You And Wait In Expectation! (Psalm 5:3) Morning, noon, and night I will I pray, and God listens to my voice! (Psalm 55:17) Hold On To Hope Without Wavering; He Who Has Promised Is Faithful! (Hebrews 10:23) Keep A Spirit Of Expectancy! All Of Our Help Comes From God! I look up to the mountains; does my help come from mountains? No, My Help Comes From The LORD, The Maker Of Heaven And Earth. He Will Not Let You Fall. Your Guardian Will Not Fall Asleep ! (Psalm 121:1-3) God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble! (Psalm 46:1) In Psalm 121:1-3, David did not focus on what he faced, but David chose to focus on where his help came from. David spoke of God’s Greatness and stood confidently in trusting God, as his only help! I encourage you on today, in spite of the hurt, the difficulties or t...
