I Know The Plans That I Have For You, Declares The LORD. They Are Plans For Peace And Not Disaster, Plans To Give You A Future Filled With Hope! (Jeremiah 29:11) The LORD is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in Him! (Nahum 1:7) The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives! (Psalm 37:23) It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man . (Psalm 118:8) In order for us to walk in the supernatural blessings of God, we have to determine it's going to be God's way or no way at all. God’s way is always the way of faith, because without faith it is impossible to please Him. (Hebrews 11:6) There are times our solutions will be the easy way out or there will be a quick or temporary fix. To walk according to God’s Word is not always quick and easy, however it is always the way that gets lasting results. Our commitment to God is a choice. In order to walk in total commitment to Christ, the door...

Let The Weak Say, "I Am Strong !" (Joel 3:10) In our weakest moments, God’s Power is at work in us, as a result, we become strong in the Lord, relying on His Mighty Strength! (Ephesians 6:10) When You’re Weak, Then You Are Strong ! (2 Corinthians 12:10) A weakness can come in many forms: financial difficulties, marital problems, relationship problems, loss of job, loss of a loved one, mental frustration, health problems, an anger problem, insecurity, family chaos etc... Whatever your weakness may be or how much it increases in the days ahead, never forget, “Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion, but those who trust in the LORD will find new strength! (Isaiah 40:30) What is trust? Trust is: faith, belief, hope, confidence, expectation, etc…The scripture is clear when it says, “anyone and everyone whose trust is in the LORD,” “God's Spirit will help them, in their weakness!” (Romans 8:26) We don't have to have all the answ...

The LORD Himself Will Fight For You. Just Stay Calm ! (Exodus 14:14) God is ready and willing to fight for you, to guarantee you total victory! The battle (fight, struggle, problem, sickness) may be too big for you and I, but it’s never too big for our God! It Will All Work Together For Your Good ! There Is No Pain Jesus Can't Feel & No Hurt He Cannot Heal! All things work, according to His perfect & holy will! (Romans 8:28) The LORD your God is the one who goes with you, to fight for you, against your enemies (your pain, your struggle, your greatest opposition), to give you eternal victory! (Deuteronomy 20:4) Jehovah Gibbor (Psalms 24:8) is the LORD Mighty In Battle and He is ready to fight and win for you! Be Strong In The Lord And In His Mighty Power! Put On Every Piece Of God's Armor So You Will Be Able To Resist The Enemy In The Time Of Evil. Then After The Battle, You Will Still Be Standing Firm! (Ephesians 6:10-13) Pray this prayer with me : Thank You Fa...

No Matter What! "God Has Said, "I Will Never Leave You Or Abandon You !" (Hebrews 13:5) "Aren't five sparrows sold for two cents? God doesn't forget any of them. Even every hair on your head has been counted. Don't be afraid! You are worth more than many sparrows. I can guarantee that the Son of Man will acknowledge in front of God's angels every person who acknowledges Him in front of others!” (Luke 12:6-8) Don’t Be Afraid Of What’s Ahead… “The LORD Is The One Who Is Going Ahead Of You. He Will Be With You !” He won't abandon you or leave you. So don't be afraid or terrified!"(Deuteronomy 31:8) I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last (the before all and the End of all)!" (Revelation 22:13) In every situation, it would be enough, if God simply walked with us through the events of life, but He does much more than that. He goes ahead of us, clearing the way, arranging the details of life, so that when we get there, we ...

You Have Strength For All Things, Through Him That Gives You Power ! (Philippians 4:13) God will not only finish what He started in you, but God will give you the ability to have peace, finish strong and make you strong in the process! For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. (Jeremiah 29:11) God Has A Plan For You ! Don’t allow a person (Satan), place or thing keep you from God‘s plan for you. Many I come in contact with from day to day cannot embrace the goodness God has for their future, because they cannot get beyond the guilt, shame and failure of their past, but Satan is a liar. God’s plan for us is bigger than our greatest failure! God’s plan is to increase and multiply us in everything good. T his means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! (2 Corinthians 5:17) It is good and righ...

Forget What Is Behind And Strain Toward What Is Ahead ! Run straight toward the goal to win the prize that God's Heavenly call offers in Christ Jesus! (Philippians 3:14) By this, I mean get rid people, places or things in your life that you don't need, that serve no purpose and those that hinder your walk with God. When one door closes, believe God has placed before you an open door, no one is able to shut! (Revelation 3:8) Move Forward ! Forget what happened in the past, and do not dwell on events from long ago. I Am Going To Do Something New! (Isaiah 43:18-19) Whether you're at a red light or in a relationship, no one wants to stay stuck or remain stationary. If you're stuck in the past, realize you cannot move forward looking back. Whether it’s a broken relationship, a past hurt or past pain etc… If someone can't treat you right, love them back and see your worth, if they still don't love you, forgive them and move on. Forget and forgive the people, place...

Seek The Kingdom Of God Above All Else, And Live Righteously, And He Will Give You Everything You Need! (Matthew 6:33) God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others! (2 Corinthians 9:8) Remember the LORD your God is the one who makes you wealthy. He's confirming the promise which he swore to your ancestors. It's still in effect today! (Deuteronomy 8:18) God Will Meet All Your Needs According To His Glorious Riches In Christ Jesus ! (Philippians 4:19) Many seek riches, fortune and fame without first seeking for ways to worship and glorify God. Riches (money) is not evil, but the love of it is the root of all kinds of evil. (1 Timothy 6:10 NIV) Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. (1 Timothy 6:10 NIV) It’s okay to be happy and one of Jesus’ main purposes for coming is so His children will have life and His children will have everyt...
