Don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes! (Matthew 6:34 MSG) Stand Still And See What The LORD Will Do To Save You Today ! (Exodus 14:13) Turn all your 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 the past or even the last couple of days, statistically, less than 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 your spirit you’re saying, “God I trust You to go before me, to make my rough places leveled (Isaiah 45:2) and I believe You are working things out for my good! (Romans 8:28) No matter the trial, no matter the situation, God is willing and able—He Can Handle It! God’s Word To You : “Let go of your concerns! Then you will know tha...

Don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow . God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes! (Matthew 6:34 MSG) In order to see positive changes in your life, you must consistently think, speak words of faith and take actions that are in line with your “God” given identity. You have a choice to change your current situation today, but it first starts in your mind, “your thinking” & in your mouth, “your speaking!” When you think and speak according to the power of God at work in you, your mess becomes a message, your test becomes a testimony, your breakdown becomes your greatest breakthrough! Think It! Speak It! Something good is going to happen for you! God’s Word To You : “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for! (Jeremiah 29:11) Pray this prayer with me : Father, I am thankful that I’m Your child and I am connected to You and You are ...

The Lord God Is Our Strength ! (Habakkuk 3:19 AMP) God Is Your Personal Bravery, Your Invincible Army ! (Habakkuk 3:19 AMP) It’s in the low places, the Lord meets us with a special strength to overcome things we could never conquer ourselves. In the low places, by faith, 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 an unlimited greatness of God’s power for those of us who believe, according to the working of God’s mighty strength! (Ephesians 1:19) God’s Word To You : "My Grace is all you need. My Power is strongest, when you are weak!" (2 Corinthians 12:9) "I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you!” (Isaiah 41:10) Pray this prayer with me : Awesome, all powerful God that lives within me and strengthens me daily, I thank You for Your perfect s...

Forget What Is Behind And Strain Toward What Is Ahead! Run straight toward the goal to win the prize that God's Heavenly call offers in Christ Jesus! (Philippians 3:14) The One Who Is In You Is Greater Than The One Who Is In The World ! (1 John 4:4) Christ in you is greater than fear, greater than any problem, greater than any struggle, greater than any attack from Satan, greater than anything you will ever face! Just because you may be going through troubling times, does not mean you are a defeated Christian and it does not mean God is mad at you. In fact, God is madly in love with you and He uses your problems for your promotion and for your good, to make you better and stronger for your personal development, and in turn for you to be able to help others in their lives. So instead of reacting irrationally with problems, take the time through spiritual discipline to see the advantage they will bring you. Trust the greatness God has placed in you and believe God’s word for y...

“All Things Are Possible For One Who Believes!” (Mark 9:23 ESV) As believers of Christ, life is no longer an experiment and we have the keys to receive the things that we desire, because we have the ability to believe God! Jesus told His disciples to think outside of the box and believe God for the impossible. Jesus also told them the only requirement for receiving was their believing. The only thing that limits what God can and will do in our lives, is our belief system. It's that simple. Your life right now is a result of what you have believed over the past weeks, months and years. If you want to change your life, you must first start by changing what you believe! The only way the devil can rob us is to cause us to doubt God's faithfulness to His Word. But, if God has promised it in His Word, it can happen and will happen, when you believe! " God’s Word To You : “If you can believe, all things are possible to the one who believes!" (Mark 9:23) Pray this...

I Lift Up My Eyes To The Mountains—Where Does My Help Come From? My Help Comes From The Lord, The Maker Of Heaven And Earth! (Psalm 121:1-2 NIV) “Your God will come with recompense [restoration]!” (Isaiah 35:4 NKJV) Sometimes we need to be reminded that the Lord is our helper and He is the powerful God who created the entire world we live in and enjoy. Not only does He watch over the entire universe, but He also watches over you and I and He protects us day and night! When life gets hard, when we’re weary and feel like we’re in a valley, it’s easy to let emotions take control of our lives, but whatever road life has you traveling, know God is in control. The promises from God are true no matter how we feel, what we are experiencing and no matter what struggle we face—God is our place of safety! He gives us strength! He is always there to help us in times of trouble! (Psalm 46:1) Life may not give you exactly what you want, but God knows what’s best and He will work everything out fo...

Be Not Deceived; God Is Not Mocked: For Whatsoever You Sow, That Shall He Also Reap ! (Galatians 6:7) The scripture above is both a warning and an encouragement. The beginning teaches us in the original text, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked.” Mocking the Lord includes laughing or sneering at His commandments and becoming arrogant and proud towards God. Some think that if they don’t believe in God, it doesn’t matter what the Bible says, but whether spiritual principles are accepted or denied, they apply to everyone. Every choice we make has a consequence, so you must ask yourself the question, “What am I sowing? You are sowing something. What is it? You will harvest exactly what you’re sowing. What you put in is what you will get out. Take the time to plant seeds of righteousness and you will reap a harvest of eternal rewards! (Galatians 6:9) God’s Word To You: “I came so that you may have life and have it in abundance! (John 10:10) Pray this prayer with me: LORD, I ask...
