Everything has its own time, and there is a specific time for every activity under heaven! (Ecclesiastes 3:1) A time to cry and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance! (Ecclesiastes 3:4) The occasional disappointments and failures in life are to be expected, but even when we encounter bitter disappointments, we must Never Lose Faith! If God were to tell us that He would no longer honor His Word, then there would be no hope for any of us, but thank God His Word will forever stand in Heaven and in earth! (Matthew 5:18) Hold firmly to the faith that you confess without wavering, for the one who made the promise is faithful ! (Hebrews 10:23) The Lord is the One who will go before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid or discouraged (Deuteronomy 31:8) When we encounter the difficulties of life, God stands ready to protect us, keep us and comfort us. Our responsibility is to ask Him for protection, lean on Him and trust in Him. When...

Thank God! He Gives Us The Victory, Through Our Lord Jesus Christ! (1 Corinthians 15:57) Every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith! (1 John 5:4) It's your faith that God will have on display, as evidence of His Victory! (1 Peter 1:6-7)   You Win The Victory Over Satan , because of the Blood of the Lamb and the words of your testimony! (Revelation 12:11) In order for there to be a testimony, there must first be a test. Yes, a test of your faith. It’s hard to see the victory God has prepared, when we’re in the middle of difficult time, but it’s during those times of testing, God demonstrates His Strength and Power through us! 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 believe and put your hope in God, you will see, “Anything Is Possible, If A Person Believes!” (Mark 9:23) There is no problem on this planet that cannot be sol...

" For His Anger Is But For A Moment, His Favor Is For A Lifetime; Weeping May Last For The Night, But A Shout Of Joy Comes In The Morning !" (Psalm 30:5) Surely, Lord, You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favor as with a shield! (Psalm 5:12) Speak Life To Your Future Destiny ! Glory belongs to God, whose power is at work in us, by this power He can do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think! (Ephesians 3:20) Faith comes alive and active in our life, when we encounter real life situations, but continue to stand on the Word of God. It's when we trust God, before we see the light at the end of the tunnel, before we see our healing, before God delivers us out of a bad situation, etc... To live a life filled with the blessings of God, we have to make our words agree with what God's Word says. When we get stuck in past or present circumstances and begin to speak negatively, we tear up our future crop with the negative words that come from ou...

God Began The Good Work Within You & God Will Continue His Work, Until It Is Finally Finished, On The Day When Christ Jesus Returns ! (Philippians 1:6 ) God will continue to give you strength until the end, so that no one can accuse you of anything, on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ! (1 Corinthians 1:8) Let us fix our eyes on Jesus the author and finisher of our faith! (Hebrews 12:2)   Our God Will Go Before Us, He Will Be With Us And He Will Never Leave Or Abandon Us ! (Deuteronomy 31:8) In every situation of life, God is already at work before we get there. When we encounter the difficulties of life, our God stands ready to protect us, keep us and comfort us. Our responsibility is to ask Him for protection, lean on Him and trust in Him. While we're struggling with the problems of today, God is hard at work providing solutions for the things were going to face tomorrow. He goes ahead of us, clearing the way, arranging the details of life, so that when we get there, we c...

Remain Faithful! God Is Willing & Able To Fulfill Ever Promise To You ! Let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time, we will reap a harvest of blessing, if we don't give up! (Galatians 6:9) Humble Yourself Under The Mighty Power Of God, And At The Right Time He Will Lift You Up In Honor ! (1 Peter 5:6)In times of confusion, hardship or pain, there is one thing we can do that guarantees results. As we humble ourselves before God, we receive God's Grace ~Unmerited Favor~ to flow freely in our lives. 'Humbling ourselves' is plainly submitting and yielding totally and completely to God. It's saying and showing God we’re willing to do anything and go anywhere, knowing God cares for us. In order for God to take control, we must let go of the past, be quick to forgive, never hold grudges, live in love and put all trials and tribulations in His hands. Cast aside every care and make touching God our only desire. Give Him our plans, our desir...

“ The LORD Grants Favor And Honor. He Does Not Hold Back Any Blessing From Those Who Walk Uprightly !” (Psalm 84:11) "Every Word of God has proven to be true. He is a shield to those who come to Him for protection!   (Proverbs 30:5) God Holds Victory In Store For The Upright, He Is A Shield To Them That Walk Uprightly ! (Proverbs 2:7) Many think, but I'm not upright, I did that same old sin again! Therefore I can't stand on this verse, because I know I'm not upright." Others think, "I faithfully attend church, tithe, pray an hour a day, confess the Word and never watch R-rated movies. Compared to others, I am walking uprightly before God." Both of these attitudes are completely wrong. Both focus on self and not Jesus. The Good News (The Gospel) tells us how God makes us right in His sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, "It is through faith that a righteous person has life!" (Romans 1:17) Live b...

Blessed Are Those Who Endure, When They Are Tested! When They Pass The Test, They Will Receive The Crown Of Life That God Has Promised To Those Who Love Him ! (James 1:12) Don't allow what you're going through, discourage or distract you away from God’s plan for you! (Romans 8:28) No matter what’s ahead, stay focused on God!   My Brothers And Sisters, Be Very Happy When You Are Tested In Different Ways ! Knowing this, that the testing of your faith develops perseverance! Let perseverance finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing! (James 1:2-4) Perseverance means no matter what's going on, be persistence, continue, keep at it, keep on trying, stick with it, never give up, etc...! I know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with every kind of aggravation in the meantime. Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine. When Jesus wraps this...
