G od stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing. He holds the water in His thick clouds, and the clouds don't [even] split under its [weight]! (Job 26:7-8) God is the healer of the brokenhearted. God is the one who bandages wounds. How Great Is Our Lord! His Power Is Absolute! His Understanding Is Beyond Comprehension! (Psalm 147:3,5) There Is Unlimited Greatness Of God’s Power For Us Who Believe, According To The Working Of His Mighty Strength ! ( Ephesians 1:19) As a child of God, you belong to God, so you have won the victory over the Satan, because the one who is in you is greater than anything or anyone who is in the world! (1 John 4:4) Humanly speaking, it is impossible, but With God Everything Is Possible ! (Matthew 19:26) Pray this prayer with me : There is no power in all of creation greater than Your Power God and there is no power of evil or darkness in the universe that can ever be victorious against You. No one can hold the waters o...

Our Suffering Is Light And Temporary And Is Producing For Us An Eternal Glory That Is Greater Than Anything We Can Imagine! We don't look for things that can be seen, but for things that can't be seen. Things that can be seen are only temporary. But things that can't be seen last forever! (2 Corinthians 4:17-18) Our present sufferings are insignificant compared to the glory that will soon be revealed to us! (Romans 8:18) Resist Satan, By Standing Firm In The Faith! (1 Peter 5:9) Resist Satan, and Satan will run away from you! (James 4:7) There are times it seems like trouble has no end, but those are the times we should reflect back on the Faithfulness of God through past struggles and how our God is forever faithful to every promise! (Hebrews 10:23) God can be trusted! You can take God at His Word! On today, defeat the habit of quitting, because of unfortunate circumstances or stumbling blocks you’ve faced. Refuse to let them keep you from being determined to be succe...

I can't consider myself a winner yet. This is what I do: I don't look back, I lengthen my stride, and I press straight toward the goal to win the prize that God's heavenly call offers, in Christ Jesus! (Philippians 3:13-14) Regardless of the difficulty of your past, contrary to the frustration of your present moment or the storms that seem to cloud your way, believe God and know Your Best Is Ahead Of You ! Your Best Is Yet To Come ! Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? run to win! (1Corinthians 9:24) Even though the economy doesn’t look bright, the medical report may not look good or it seems like there is no hope, as believers, we have the ability to believe God. "It's impossible for people [to save themselves], but it's not impossible for God to save them. Everything is possible for God!" (Mark 10:27) No matter what's happening today, God has good things in store for your future! It may not be ea...

He Hides You In His Shelter, When There Is Trouble. He Keeps You Hidden In His Tent. He Sets You High On A Rock! (Psalm 27:5) God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. (Psalm 46:1) God has said, "I will never fail you. I will never abandon you!" (Hebrews 13:5) Who Is This King Of Glory? The LORD Strong And Mighty, (Jehovah Gibbor) The LORD Mighty In Battle! (Psalm 24:8) Jehovah-Jireh "The Lord Will Provide" (Genesis 22:13, 14).Jehovah-Rapha "The Lord That Healeth" (Exodus 15:26) Jehovah-Nissi "The Lord Our Banner" (Exodus 17:8-15) Jehovah-Shalom "The Lord Our Peace” (Judges 6:24) Jehovah-Ra-Ah "The Lord My Shepherd" (Psalm 23) Jehovah-Tsidkenu "The Lord Our Righteousness" (Jeremiah 23:6) Jehovah-Shammah "The Lord Is Present" (Ezekiel 48:35) He’s Our Lord, Our Savior, Our God, Our King, Our All & All, Our Everything!

Every Weapon Formed Against You Will Not Succeed!   Weapons Made To Attack You Won't Be Successful; Words Spoken Against You Won't Hurt At All. I, The LORD, Promise To Bless You With Victory! (Isaiah 54:17) As children of God, we are protected by God, from the dark weapons of evil and from the influence of those who want to hurt or cause harm to us. This does not mean evil will not come up against us, however, when it does, always remember It Will Not Work! Every Child Of God Defeats This Evil World, And We Achieve This Victory Through Our Faith! (1 John 5:4) God's Blessings deflect the darkness that desires to bring us down and God's Protection shields us from every evil attack. When problems stack up against us, foes rise to defeat us, resources dwindle, friends are unpredictable and we wonder if we have a friend in the world, always remember God's Words through the psalmist David, The righteous person has many troubles, but the LORD rescues him from al...

In Our Weakness, God Is Able To Fill Us With Himself, As A Result, Causing Us To Become Stronger! Yes, I accept weakness, mistreatment, hardship, persecution and difficulties suffered for Christ. It's clear, When I'm Weak, I'm Strong! (2 Corinthians 12:10) The Lord God Is Your Strength, Your Personal Bravery & Your Invincible Army ! (Habakkuk 3:19) A weakness can come in many forms: financial difficulties, marital problems, relationship problems, loss of a job, loss of a loved one, mental frustration, health problems, an anger problem, insecurity, family chaos etc... No matter the weakness or how much it intensifies in the days ahead, the Spirit will help you in your weakness. (Romans 8:26) We don't have to have all the answers, as we put our trust in God. We don't have to offer assistance to God on how to fix our problems. Whenever we find ourselves in this place, we must never look at ourselves in a negative manner. "I can't do anything, I am a no...

You Will Always Harvest Whatever You Plant ! (Galatians 6:7) So then, let’s encourage each other and strengthen one another, as we are doing! (1 Thessalonians 5:11) Choose today to sow good seeds, so you will receive a good harvest, at the proper time! Walk In Love , [esteeming and delighting in one another] As Christ Loved Us And Gave Himself Up For Us ! (Ephesians 5:2) "Encarta Dictionary defines (esteem) as..." to value somebody or something highly, to have a high regard for somebody or something or a high opinion and appreciation of somebody or something. Encouragement is a special ministry to hurting souls. Examples: those recovering from divorce, someone who successfully remarried, those who experienced the loss of a child at birth or through miscarriage, people experiencing financial difficulties, loss of a job, an addict or recovering addict, someone suffering sickness etc... We don't always have to agree with one another, even if they don't act respectfu...
