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) Because you have guarded and kept My word of patient endurance [have held fast the lesson of My patience with the expectant endurance that I give you], I also will keep you [safe] from the hour of trial (testing) which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth! (Revelation 3:10) Dear Brothers And Sisters, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way! ” (James 1:2-4 MSG) We cannot 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 happens in our ...

He Will Cover You With His Feathers. He Will Shelter You With His Wings. His Faithful Promises Are Your Armor And Protection ! Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day, do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes at midday. (Psalm 91:4-6) Even in the driest times, when you just don’t feel God’s presence, you need to remember that God is always there. God is always with you, watching over you, He never forgets about you, neither does He sleep! (Psalm 121:4) The LORD Is The One Who Is Going Ahead Of You. He Will Be With You. He Won't Abandon You Or Leave You ! (Deuteronomy 31:8) You Can Always Trust God’s Promise : “I will be with you. I won't abandon you or leave you!” (Deuteronomy 31:8) You Can Always Trust God’s Plan : “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) No matter what, Yo...

Forget The Former Things —It is nothing compared to what I am going to do! I am going to do something new. It is already happening! (Isaiah 43:19) Press Forward Towards God’s Best For You ! Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! (2 Corinthians 5:17) What I said in the past has come true. I will reveal new things before they happen! (Isaiah 42:9) Dwelling on the past can be overwhelming, and in some cases can keep us from living the lives God gave us. It is the expectation of God’s promises that keeps us focused on the future, and this way we do not dwell too long on our past. Whatever you have battled and worked hard to overcome in your life, Satan will attempt to bring that exact same temptation, habit or behavioral tendency back into your life hoping to drag you back to a past you're trying to forget and move pass. He cannot do that if you have a vision, if your eyes are focused on a plan. If you're not focused on s...

God Causes Everything To Work Together For The Good Of Those Who Love Him And Are Called According To His Purpose For Them ! (Romans 8:28) Nothing revives us more to a new strength in our present circumstances and raises our self-esteem like the knowledge of what God thinks of us! 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) Sometimes we need to be reminded that God is still active in our life and that He knows our name and our circumstances. It is to be understood that there may be days of discomfort and weariness, while we wait for God's Word to become visible concerning the conditions of our lives, but it is also to be understood that God will never leave His children deserted. (Deuteronomy 31:6) In the many circumstances we face, we need to know someone not something. We want to know the plan, but God says I want you to know the Person! That is, know God! Wh...

Those Who Put Their Trust In God Will Not Be Disappointed ! The LORD is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in Him! (Nahum 1:7) It Is Better To Take Refuge In The LORD Than To Trust In People ! (Psalm 118:8) In order to walk in the supernatural blessings of God, our lives must be guided by the Word of God. To operate according to the Word by faith is not always quick and easy, but it is always the way that gets lasting results. When you decide to follow God, sometimes you have to make some hard decisions. No matter how hard life gets or the constant struggles and/or test that comes your way, you can trust God. God is always faithful to those who trust Him, He is a good God and He will never let you down! Pray this prayer with me : Father I put my trust in You and my faith will not be shaken. In You, our ancestors back in the past put their trust in You and You delivered them. They cried out to You in their hour of need and You came to them a...

The Vision Will Still Happen, At The Appointed Time! It hurries toward its goal. It won't be a lie. If it's delayed, wait for it. It will certainly happen. It Won't Be Late! (Habakkuk 2:3) Whether it’s one minute or one year, the waiting room or the delivery room, those who put their trust in God, will never be ashamed! (Romans 10:11) Keep Dreaming & Keep Believing! Don’t get discouraged because of what you may feel or because of what the situations in front of you looks like, but continue to press forward, because your best is not behind you, it's straight ahead! (Philippians 3:14) Nobody has to believe in your dream for it to live, but, if you give up on your dream, it will die. On today, give God everything that is in your heart, your dreams, your plans, your questions, your disappointments, your doubts and your fears. (1 Peter 5:7) Choose to push past what you see and feel, so you can receive the Divine Greatness God has planned for your life! “I know the p...

With God, All Things Are Possible ! (Matthew 19:26) Nothing is too hard for God! No matter the problem or the struggle, believe that God is able and willing to work it out for your good! The strength of those who wait with hope in the LORD will be renewed. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and won't become weary. They will walk and won't grow tired! (Isaiah 40:31) Everything Is Possible For The Person Who Believes! (Mark 9:23) “Be strong and courageous! Don't tremble or be terrified, because the LORD your God is with you wherever you go!” (Joshua 1:9) God always has the final word in every situation in our lives! God will never allow a child of God that puts their faith and trust in Him to remain defeated, surely not when His Son has already paid the price to bring us abundant life! By learning to trust in God, through difficult moments, we become blessed much more than we ever thought possible! (Ephesians 3:20) No matter what you are currently facin...
