Surely, LORD, You Bless The Righteous; You Surround Them With Your Favor As A Shield ! (Psalm 5:12) In Psalm 102:13, as God promised Zion her time of favor had come, I believe in this season God will supernaturally bless His children with favor! But, we cannot allow negative thoughts or a negative situation talk us out of what God has promised. It’s during times of difficulty, you have to know within your heart that God is good and He is for you and not against you! As children of God, our past circumstances do not predict our future forecast, because we serve a God who can and will bring restoration to the years lost. (Joel 2:25) If you trust God enough to believe your set time of favor has come, you’re walking in it right now! Your Time Of Favor Is Now! God’s Word To You : "I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not ruin the produce of your land and your vine in your field will not fail to produce fruit!” (Malachi 3:11) Pray this prayer with me : Father, I t...

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 43:19) In order to move forward into the life God has for you, you have to focus on the future and not the old. The things that are behind you are not nearly as important as what is in front of you. You can't change what you did in your past. You made choices. You did things you wish you hadn't done, but that’s in your past. You may have had some unfair things happen, things that you don’t understand, but you’ve come too far to stop now. Have the attitude that says, “I know God has a new season for me—a season that is changing for my better!” 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) Pray this prayer with me : Father, today I surrender to You all that I have and all that I am. May I continually declare with total confidence an...

Thank you for your service and sacrifice voluntarily or involuntarily to our great nation! To the soldiers on the battle fields, I pray your continued safety and to their families, thank you and may God’s continual blessing be upon you as you await your loved one’s safe return… To The Fallen Soldiers: “Greater Love Has No One Than This, That He Lay Down His Life For His Friends!” (John 15:13) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord! (Romans 8:38-39) Pray This Prayer With Me: Father I pray that You will bless the soldiers and their families of the past and present. I pray that You bring healing and comfort to those who suffer from sickness, injury or death of a loved one. I humbly pray, in Jesus' name, amen. Have a great Veterans Day and a great week! Ne...

Blessed Are Those Who Trust In The LORD And Have Made The LORD Their Hope And Confidence! (Psalm 34:8) Ephesians 1:3 teaches us, “God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus.” 1 Samuel 26:23 teaches us, “The LORD rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness.” Living righteous and faithfully is a lifestyle that requires changes and choices daily. If you desire the blessings of the Kingdom of God, make the choice daily to align and position yourself to receive everything God freely promises to give to the righteous and the faithful. Once you make that choice, at every turn there will be another blessing from God and it will come in many forms as if you’re a magnet for the blessings and promises of God! (Deuteronomy 28) 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 : LORD, I ask that You order my s...

God Who Started A Great Work In You Will Continue And Bring It To A Flourishing Finish On The Very Day Christ Jesus Appears ! (Philippians 1:6) Fix Your Eyes On Jesus, The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith ! (Hebrews 12:2) It is God who gives us a promise, and then He reveals His plans, works miracles and sends provision. It is Satan who tries to place doubt and fear in our hearts and obstacles and snares in our direction. If you focus and trust in the LORD, remain faithful and not talk yourself out of it, it’s only a matter of time before God’s plan will come to pass. Circumstances and difficulties in life can make you think—it’s too late you’ve missed your opportunity, but it doesn’t matter how long it’s been or how impossible it may look, God started a great work in you and what God starts, He finishes! Trust God-It will Come To Pass! God’s Word To You : “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not to abandon you, plans to give you the future...

Fight The Good Fight of Faith ! (1 Timothy 6:12) We Win The Victory Over Satan By The Blood Of The Lamb And Our Testimony ! (Revelation 12:11) At some point in life, everyone will experience their own difficult situation and difficult days. Satan will try to make it look like he has the upper hand, but despite anything Satan throws our way, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ who loves us! (Romans 8:37) It may not look like Satan has the victory, but God promises you and I the victory in all things if we fight in faith ! My brothers and sisters don't let anyone move you off the foundation of your faith. Always do your best in the work you do for the Lord, knowing your work is not in vain and give thanks and credit to God who gives you the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! (1 Corinthians 15:57-58)   God’s Word To You : “In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world!” (John 16:33 MSG) "All authority...

The Deeds Of A Man’s Hands Will Return To Him! (Proverbs 24:12 NAS) Whether you know it as “you reap what you sow” or “what goes around comes around” (Galatians 6:7) If everyone followed the teaching in Matthew 7:12, it would solve many problems within this world. If we ever wondered how we should treat others, this scripture teaches us the answer as to how we are to treat others. But unfortunately, it is teaching that many of us have failed to follow so often in our lives. Notice Jesus’ teaching doesn't say to treat others like they treat us. However, this is often the standard we use in how we treat others: Someone wrongs us, so we find a way to get back at them. Someone threatens to hurt us in some way, so we threaten them in the same way. All of this comes from a failure to grow spiritually due to lack of knowledge of God's word and as a result, a lack of love for God and our fellow man. (1 John 4:20) Whatever treatment we expect to receive from God, is the same measure...
