He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection ! (Psalm 91:4) Being under God's wings provides such a picture of His protection to us. We’re not always deserving of God’s presence, but God has a way of manifesting His presence to the most unworthy child. That’s amazing to me that God still maintains His love and support for us, even when we don’t always do right. He continues to show His faithfulness to us, even when we’re unfaithful. Nothing compares to the love and faithfulness of God to us. For that reason, we can feel a sense of security from all hurt, harm, danger, sickness, lack etc…, knowing in the presence of the Lord we’re protected! God’s Word To You : “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go!" (Genesis 28:15) Pray this prayer with me : Father I’m glad today I have a God who cares so much about me that He keeps me under His wings. Father I pray Your continued protecti...

God Will Richly Fill Your Every Need In A Glorious Way Through Christ Jesus ! (Philippians 4:19 GWT) According to the verse above, if you’re a child of God, you’re rich! You’re not just rich as it pertains to money, but you’re rich spiritually, physically, emotionally etc… Most think about money, when they hear this scripture, but I think about need! God says, “If you have a need, I have a supply and not just a supply, but a supply according to My riches in Glory!” It does not matter your pay scale or how much you have in your 401K, you’re rich, because whenever or wherever need arises in your life, God’s supply will be there for you. No matter the circumstance, you and I already have everything we need in Christ! Instead of looking at your lack, look at God’s abundance and watch Him meet ALL your needs! God’s Word To You : "Ask using My Name you will receive and you will have abundant joy!” (John 16:24 NLT) Pray this prayer with me : Father, as I seek Your kingdom daily, ...

Be More Diligent To Make God's Calling And Choosing Of You Secure ! If You Keep Doing This, You Will Never Fail! (2 Peter 1:10) God Is Able To Keep You From Stumbling, Slipping Or Falling and present you unblemished, blameless and faultless, before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation, with unspeakable and ecstatic delight! (Jude 1:24 AMP) We assume that because we weren’t successful at something, it wasn’t God’s will, but the truth is, we fail because we rely on our own strength instead of God’s. Apostle Paul writes in Philippians 4:13, “I have strength for all things in Christ who empowers me!” As a child of God, you too have strength for all things in Christ who empowers you! God is not limited by our circumstances, He’s only limited by our unbelief. We serve a God that can take our failure and give us success in all things, no matter who tries to block it, stop it or sabotage it! Continue to obey God, continue to be diligent in what He has called you to...

You Prepare A Banquet For Me While My Enemies Watch ! You Anoint My Head With Oil! My Cup Overflows! (Psalm 23:5 GWT) God Surrounds Me With Favor As A Shield ! (Psalm 5:12) It doesn’t matter if men disapprove of you, as long as God favors you, you have favor in abundance! The truth is, if you would just concentrate on pleasing God, He’ll give you the favor you need with others or He’ll bless you and show the one who disfavored you they couldn’t stop His favor plan. (Matthew 6:33, Psalm 23:5) Many don't expect anything good in life, they don't expect to get breaks, to get promoted or they don't expect positive results. If you expect God's favor, if you speak it, if you thank God for it, even when you don't see good things happening, you will see the Favor of God increase in your life in abundance! In Christ, new life and new blessings of favor are yours now! (2 Corinthians 5:17) God’s Word To You : “I am your shield, your very great reward!” (Genesis 15:1) Pray...

Stand Still And See What The LORD Will Do To Save You Today ! (Exodus 14:13 GWT) The LORD Is Fighting For You! So Be Still! (Exodus 14:14 GWT) Do you have a battle to fight? If you’ve answered yes and you’ve done all you can, stand on the promises of God. God promised each of us a long time ago He would never leave us or disown us. (Deuteronomy 31:6) When Jesus, the sinless Son of God, took upon Himself our sins, died on the Cross for those sins and arose from the dead, He defeated Satan—the enemy of our souls. Jesus took away his authority, destroyed his kingdom and triumphed over all his power! The greatest blessing of all is that Jesus' victory became our victory! In Christ, we too defeat Satan, because we’re born of God, so we are overcomers! (1 John 5:4) If Jesus lives in you, you have the victory. It's already yours— guaranteed ! 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 help you!” (I...

His Power Is Absolute! His Understanding Is Infinite ! (Psalm 147:5) 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) There Is Unlimited Greatness Of God’s Power For Us Who Believe, According To The Working Of His Mighty Strength! (Ephesians 1:19) Whenever a major storm comes our way, we feel small, because we are or we may feel vulnerable and rightfully so, because the slightest wave of God’s hand and we are no more. Only when we began to realize how temporary, weak and small we are, will we begin to know the power God gave us in Christ Jesus. As a child of God, you belong to God, so you have already won the victory over Satan, because the one who is in you is greater than anything or anyone who is in the world! (1 John 4:4) God’s Word To You : "I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for Me?” (Jeremiah 32:27) Pray this prayer with me : Father, there is no power in a...

Christ Has Freed Us So That We May Enjoy The Benefits Of Freedom ! (Galatians 5:1 GWT) You Will Know The Truth, And The Truth Will Make You Free ! (John 8:32) As we read and meditate God's word, we sow seeds into our life that gives us the ability to live a lifestyle of freedom each and every day! However, just knowing the “truth” is not enough, but in order to live a life of freedom every day, we must actively and purposely declare God’s word. The scripture tells us, “A body that doesn't breathe is dead. In the same way faith that does nothing is dead.” (James 2:26) In order to walk in the freedoms Christ has given us, we must apply the Word of God to every situation and believe the Lord watches over His Word to perform it! (Jeremiah 1:12) God says, in Isaiah 55:11 "So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me void without producing any effect or useless, but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose and it shall prosper in...
