God Will Make A Pathway Through The Wilderness & Rivers In The Desert ! ( Isaiah 43:19) Don't Get Off Track, Either Left Or Right, To Make Sure You Get To Where You're Going ! (Joshua 1:8) How many times have you looked to your left and right crying out to God because it appeared you had reached a dead end? When Moses reached a dead end in the wilderness, God’s response was, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to move forward.” (Exodus 14:15) What God has in store for you doesn’t even compare to where you are right now! As the Lord spoke to the children of Israel in Isaiah 43:19, he speaks to us today, “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” God will do a new thing in your life NOW ! Not next week, next month or next year… NOW ! Now God will do a new thing! The Lord will make a way in hard times, in the wilderness and in what appears to be impossi...

God Can & Will Handle It ! Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares for you! (1 Peter 5:7) God Is Willing & Able ! (Ephesians 3:20) During difficult times, it’s easy to focus on the waves or tough circumstances in life. Difficult situations are necessary to allow our faith and endurance to grow. Faith is important, because no one can please God without faith. Difficult times bring you closer to God, because in order to act in faith, you must go to God and believe that God exists. (Hebrews 11:6) When you go to God, what you will always discover is, not only has God always been there, but when you really give it to Him, He’ll take you struggle and give you strength, He’ll take you heartache and give you hope, He’ll take what was meant to take you down and give you a major turnaround, He’ll take your misery and turn it into ministry, for His glory! Let go of whatever you’re holding on to, empty yourself of it and be filled with all of the fullness of God. (Colossians...

Your Best Is Yet To Come ! Press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us! (Philippians 3:14 NLT) What Is Coming For You Is Better Than What’s Been ! Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! (2 Corinthians 5:17) No matter how rough life’s road gets, because you have Jesus, you have all you need to make a greater comeback and impact! Always speak in faith, believe in faith and receive in faith! We serve a God who loves us dearly and desires only what’s best for us! God’s Word To You : “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) “What I said in the past has come true. I reveal new things before they happen!” (Isaiah 42:9 GWT) Pray this prayer with me : Father, I ask that You will strengthen me to continue to be persistent to press ahead in spite of every difficulty, in sp...

God Is Able To Do Above & Beyond Anything We Can Ever Ask Think Imagine ! (Ephesians 3:20) A.S.K [Ask, Seek, Knock] ASK and it will be given to you; SEEK and you will find; KNOCK and the door will be opened to you! (Matthew 7:7) As you consider and meditate on who you are, what you have and what you can do in Christ, you will never exhaust the limitless ability and power of God that works within you, through you and for you! (Philippians 4:13) Nothing is too difficult for God. He just waits for us to recognize that and come to Him in faith and ask for help. If we choose to limit ourselves to doing only what we can do in our own natural ability, we will either come up short or experience failure. Make the choice to step into the realm of the “ ABOVE & BEYOND ” what God can do in you, through you and for you, according to the power that works within you! (Ephesians 3:20) The unimaginable awaits you! God’s Word To You : “Nothing is too hard for Me, If you ask me for anythin...

We Live By Believing And Not By Seeing ! (2 Corinthians 5:7 NLT) Just Believe ! (Mark 5:36 GWT) We’re all visual creatures. Once we see something, it’s easier to believe than when we cannot. The world’s thinking is, “I’ll believe it when I see it” or “seeing is believing,” but a believing individual the thinking is the direct opposite. It’s true, “if you believe you can achieve it,” but it’s also true, if you don’t step out on faith and believe, you want succeed. Yes, there are times in life you must play it safe, but when caution becomes a lifestyle, you can easily get stuck in procrastination and failure while life passes you by. Until you act in faith, your faith is useless. “In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, it’s dead” (James 2:17) The moment you act in faith, you invite God to move on your behalf in a miraculous way, unimaginable to you. (Ephesians 3:20) Today God is waiting for you to act so He can respond! What step is keeping you from God...

God Opposes The Arrogant, But Gives Grace To The Humble ! Therefore, humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, so that at the proper time He may exalt you! (1 Peter 5:5-6 ISV) Promotion Comes From God ! Promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. It is God who judges: He brings one down, He exalts another. (Psalm 75:6-7) Whether it’s promotion in ministry or business, spiritual or secular, God decides when promotion comes, who gets promoted, how the promotion comes and where the promotion comes. Man operates by feelings: Man will put you up today and cast you down tomorrow, but if God promotes you, He promotes you so He can receive the glory. When we have no doubt that God loves us and has a wonderful plan for our life, it makes it easier to yield everything to God completely. (Jeremiah 29:11) On today, believe everything God does is for your good, protection and happiness! If you’re humble, you can rest sure God Will Exalt You! (Romans 8:28, 1 P...

The Vision Will Still Happen At The Appointed Time! It Hurries Toward Its Goal ! It won't lie! If it's delayed, wait for it! It will certainly happen! It won't be late! (Habakkuk 2:3) Trust the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He Will Make Your Paths Smooth ! (Proverbs 3:5-6 GWT) If what God has placed in you has led you down a path of pain, pressure and problems, it’s probably not what you’ve hoped for. When God doesn’t seem to meet our expectations, it’s not that He doesn’t care, but He sees the big picture, a picture that’s bigger than our resources, our gifts, our strength and He’s handling issues you or I can’t even begin to comprehend. (1 Corinthians 2:9) Satan loves to discourage us by focusing our attention on the things God has not done. If Satan can cause you to doubt God, your faith will be weakened and without faith it’s impossible to please God, so I encourage you to keep the vision al...
