Those Who Wait On The LORD Will Find New Strength! They will soar high on wings like eagles! They will run and not grow weary! They will walk and not faint! (Isaiah 40:31) If it's delayed, wait for it! It will certainly happen! It won't be late! (Habakkuk 2:3) Those Who Put Their Trust In God, Will Not Be Ashamed ! (Psalm 25:3) Waiting for God’s timing isn’t wasted time, it’s important in developing faith! (Hebrews 11:6) Waiting does not diminish us, any more than waiting diminishes a pregnant mother. We are enlarged in the waiting. We, of course, don’t see what is enlarging us. But the longer we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy! (Romans 8:24-25 MSG) On today, I encourage you while you wait, to receive God’s unfailing grace & mercy and trust God something good is going to happen for you! Trust God’s Timing! God’s Word To You : “I am the LORD! If I say it, it will happen. There will be no more delays!” (Ezekiel 12:25) Pray this praye...

God Is Your Personal Bravery, Your Invincible Army ! (Habakkuk 3:19 AMP) I accept weakness, mistreatment, hardship, persecution and difficulties suffered for Christ. It's clear that when I'm weak, I'm strong! (2 Corinthians 12:10) Receive Power From The Lord And From His Mighty Strength ! (Ephesians 6:10) Glory belongs to God, whose power is at work in us! By this power He can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine! (Ephesians 3:20) In the low places, the Lord meets us with a special strength to overcome things we could never conquer ourselves. In the low places, we can identify with God’s suffering and trust in God’s strength! When it seems like the weight of the world is beating on you, I encourage you, don't back away, run to God’s embrace and receive His strength and power, during times of weakness! There Is Unlimited Greatness Of God’s Power For Us Who Believe, According To The Working Of His Mighty Strength! (Ephesians 1:19) God’s Word To You: "...

The LORD Will Fight For You; You Need Only To Be Still! (Exodus 14:14) The LORD your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you! (Deuteronomy 1:30) Do you have a battle to fight? Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord! Be Strong In The Lord And In His Mighty Power! (Ephesians 6:10) “Put on all of God's armor, so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil!” (Ephesians 6:11) If you're fed up with continual defeat in any area of your life or worn out by the constant inner struggle, then it's time to seek the Lord for victory! Satan will tell you that victory is hard or even impossible, but Satan is a liar! God is a good God and He wants you to receive all that He has prepared! Rest and trust in His mercy that endures forever. When you do that, God will turn your battlefield into the Valley Of Blessings! God’s Word To You : “For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will hel...

Stand Still And See What The LORD Will Do To Save You Today ! (Exodus 14:13) …know the unlimited greatness of His power as it works with might and strength for us, the believers! (Ephesians 1:19) Don't Worry About Anything; Instead, Pray About Everything ! Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done! (Philippians 4:6) Turn all your anxiety [worry] over to God, because He cares for you! (1 Peter 5:7) If we took a moment to think about the things we worried about in 2012 or even the last couple of days, statistically, only 10 percent at most came to past. None of the worrying made the circumstances better or worse. The Bible says, “Give all your worries and cares to God, because He cares about you!” By committing each day to the Lord, in essence you’re saying, “I trust God to go before me, to make my rough places leveled (Isaiah 45:2) and to work things out for the best! (Romans 8:28) No matter the challenge, no matter the circumstance, whether it’s physical, finan...

The Holy Spirit Helps Us In Our Weakness ! (Romans 8:26) "The High Priest understands our weaknesses, He faced all the same testing we do… So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive mercy and we will find grace to help us when we need it most!" (Hebrews 4:15-16)   You Can Trust God’s Grace, Mercy & Faithfulness ! Because of the LORD's gracious love we are not consumed, since His compassions never end. They are new every morning— great is Your faithfulness! (Lamentations 3:22-23) 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 ...

Run Straight Toward The Goal To Win The Prize That God's Heavenly Call Offers In Christ Jesus ! (Philippians 3:14) In order to move forward according to the purpose of God, you must rid yourself of people, places or things in your life that mean you little or no good, those that serve no purpose and those that hinder your walk with God! Move Forward ! If you're stuck in the past, realize you cannot move forward looking back or allowing something to hold you back. Whether it’s a broken relationship, a lost job, 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, places and things that hurt you in 2012. If you want to be free, let them go. No matter what it is, expect the best in 2013 and press forward! God’s Word To You : “ I have opened a door in front of you that no one can shut. You only have a little strength, but you have paid at...

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 43:18-19) Time to move forward and don’t look back! The Old Has Gone, The New Has Come ! Anyone Is In Christ, He Is A New Creation; The Old Has Gone, The New Has Come! (2 Corinthians 5:17) As a born again Christian, you’re not your past, you’re not your mistakes, you are not your pain and you’re not your failures. You are God’s beloved, you are wonderfully made, you are God’s son or daughter, you accepted and you are anew creation! Regardless of the difficulty in 2012, contrary to the frustration of your present moment or the storms that seem to cloud your way, believe God’s plan for you is of peace and not adversity, to give you confidence for your future! (Jeremiah 29:11) Be encouraged God has great plans for you in 2013! God’s Word To You : “What I said in the past has come true. I Will Reveal New Things Before They Happen!” (Isaiah 42...
