Be Strong In The Lord And In The Strength Of His Mighty Power ! (Ephesians 6:10) 2 Corinthians 12:9 teaches us, God’s power is perfect in us when we’re at our weakest and that the perfection of God’s power is obtained by relying on God’s grace. The source of our strength and victory is God! Our reliance on God is the key to our victory. Whenever we choose to rely on our own ability, we’re bound to lose, however when our spirit is strengthened by the Spirit of the Lord, we not only receive power that gives us strength, but we receive power to accomplish all things through Christ! (Philippians 4:13) By faith, allow God to strengthen you, but always remember, “Glory belongs to God, whose power is at work in you and only by God’s power you can do exceedingly and abundantly more than you can ask, think or imagine! (Ephesians 3:20) God’s Word To You : "My Grace is all you need. My Power is strongest, when you are weak!" (2 Corinthians 12:9) Pray This Prayer With Me : Fat...

God Will Fully Supply Your Every Need ! (Philippians 4:19) In the midst of heartbreak, sickness, the economy, job insecurity, financial difficulty, relationship difficulties, when things get tough etc… it’s easy to become weary and wonder how can something good come out of such a distressing situation? (Romans 8:28) As Jesus spoke over 2,000 years ago, He speaks to us today when He says, “Stop looking at all that threatens you and focus on God. Do not look for a way out of difficulty and challenge, but seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and God will give you everything you need!” (Matthew 6:33) Whether it’s comfort, healing, a job, wealth, a companion or good success etc… If your trust is in the Shepherd, you will not lack anything; God will supply your every need! God’s Word To You : "Blessed Is The One Who Places Their Trust In The LORD!” (Leviticus 26:4) Pray this prayer with me : Father, as I seek You and Your kingdom daily, I pray the words of my mouth and th...

Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction… (Psalm 103:2-4NKJV) As a child, we used to sing a song at church that went like this: “Count your many blessings, name them one by one, count your many blessings and see what the Lord has done!” As I sing that song and think about all God has done for me, I cannot help but give Him all the praise and glory. Psalm 103:2-5 teaches us, that God forgives, He heals, He redeems, He satisfies and He renews! Many quickly get over the things God does for them and move on to their next request without giving Him due glory. This kind of attitude does not help in receiving from God. An attitude of gratitude is necessary if you really want to maximize God’s blessings in your life. Pause for a moment and think about all of the blessings God has given to you and you will d iscover you cannot think enough about the blessings, before you sta...

Dear Children, You Belong To God. So You Have Won The Victory Over These People, Because The One Who Is In You Is Greater Than The One Who Is In The World ! (1 John 4:4) 1st John chapter 4 verses 2-4 teaches us many valuable lessons: In this world, there are 2 forces in existence, the one in you (God) and the one in this world (Satan). The spirit of the antichrist (Satan) and the spirit of God belong to opposite sides and are at war each and every day, however we’re able to overcome the world, because Christ who lives inside of us is greater than anything or anyone in this world. Yes, God is in Heaven, but His Holy Spirit lives in you. Christ in you is greater than fear, greater than any problem, greater than any struggle, greater than any attack from the devil, greater than anything you will ever face! Embrace this truth and you will succeed! God’s Word To You : “You won't succeed by might or by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of Armies.!" (Zechariah 4:6) Pray ...

God Can Handle It! Give All Your Worries And Cares To God, For He Cares For You ! (1 Peter 5:7) It is eternally and infinitely better to be in the hands of God than any other hand any day. If it’s healing, “by His strips you are already healed!” (Isaiah 53:4-5) Financially, “God will supply all your needs from His riches in glory!” (Philippians 4:19) Unforgiveness, “ if you forgive people their wrongdoing, your heavenly Father will forgive you as well !” (Matthew 6:14) If your enemy has come up against you, “when the enemy comes in like a flood, the wind of the LORD lifts a standard against him and drives him!” (Isaiah 59:19) When we find ourselves facing obstacles and life’s challenges, there is nothing more effective or important than to be in the hands of God. God wants you to cast all your cares upon Him—not just some, but all your cares. He wants both your big and small cares. Earth has no sickness, pain, conflict or defeat that Christ cannot give you victory over! I don’t know ...

Blessed Are Those Who Trust In The LORD And Have Made The LORD Their Hope And Confidence ! (Psalm 34:8) The scripture teaches us in Ephesians 1:3, “God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus.” In Romans 8:32 we read, “God freely gives us the things that we need. We do not have to earn them.” 1Samuel 26:23 teaches us, “The LORD rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness.” Living faithfully and righteous is not just attending church, reading our Bibles etc… Living righteous and faithfully is a lifestyle that requires changes and choices to be made daily. If you do not practice the disciplines of a Christian life, you can’t expect to harvest the blessings of the Kingdom of God. You have to become sick and tired of being sick and tired, before you will aggressively pursue God’s best. You have to have a holy dissatisfaction with mediocrity, before you can experience all that God has for you. It doesn’t happen accidentally or automatically. If you don’t...

He Will Not Let You Fall. Your Protector Will Not Slumber. Indeed, The Protector Of Israel Does Not Rest Or Sleep ! (Psalm 121:-4) My seven year old, Leigha and I were having a conversation late yesterday and I mentioned to her I needed to go to bed. She said, “God has a lot of children and He has a lot of children to watch over.” My response was, “Yes He does and He never sleeps.” Leigha said, “Wow, He never sleeps?” I remained awake with her for another 20 minutes or so, but that’s beside the point. My point is, just as amazed as she was about the fact God never sleeps, it reminded me that’s the wonderful thing about being a child of God, is knowing no matter what, we’re never alone. God has promised in His Word, He will never leave us or forsake us. He will go with us to the ends of the world. Even in the darkest of hours, our God is with us; in the lowest valleys God is there, always faithful, watchful and He never sleeps! God’s Word To You : “I Am With You And Will Watch O...
