Look To Jesus The Author And Finisher Of Your Faith! (Hebrews 12:2) The New Living Translation  Version of the Bible says, we are to keep our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Regardless of how many times we’ve experienced the fulfillment of God’s promises, we seem to have short memories. When life suddenly change course down an unexpected path, we begin wondering if we are going to make it through what we’re experiencing. We try to find a way out of our discomfort and realize the situation is impossible apart from God. The way we live with a heavenly viewpoint—is by setting our eyes on the One who can transform our darkest situation into the greatest light. If what you’re experiencing seems too much for you to bear, pray and ask your heavenly Father to hold you close, keep you in His care, under His watchful eye, in His presence. He will and this will make a difference in the way you view the trouble that is trying to overwhelm your heart. God’s...

Stand Still And See What The LORD Will Do To Save You Today ! (Exodus 14:13 GWT) The King James Version of the Bible says, "Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord." When trials come and frustrations begin to build, we often look for a way out when under the pressure. Many times, as problems seem permanent and sorrows grow, we forget that God is with us. ( Matthew 1:23) He has not left us to battle our way through this difficulty alone. Some of the greatest lessons we will learn come from time spent with God in the fires of affliction and rejection. True faith remains unshaken by the trials of life. When it seems the world has turned against you, run to the Lord. God will not allow you to be destroyed. The LORD Is Fighting For You! So Be Still! (Exodus 14:14 GWT) 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!” (Isaiah 41:13) Pray This Prayer With Me : Lord, I surrender all to ...

You Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens You ! (Philippians 4:13) This scripture teaches us strength does not come in the confidence in oneself. Instead, strength is in Christ alone. To say "all things" the importance is not on what "you can," but on the fact of what you can do through Christ! God supplies everything we need to carry out His plan for our life. (Romans 8:28-29) The transformation from weakness to Christ’s strength involves a true change of character within, affected by God Himself. Obeying by faith can seem frightening, but the comfort zone isn't where people that are hungry and passionate for God’s will choose to spend their time. To do all things through Christ involves some risks, but you'll discover that the rewards for obedience are deeply satisfying. I encourage you today to go in the strength of the Lord and trust Christ in you to do what you cannot do on your own!   God’s Word To You : "My Power Is Strongest, When...

The LORD Himself Goes Before You And Will Be With You; He Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You. Do Not Be Afraid; Do Not Be Discouraged ! (Deuteronomy 31:8) Don't Get Off Track , either left or right, so as to make sure you get to where you're going. And don't for a minute let this Book of The Revelation [The Word Of God] be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you'll get where you're going; then you'll succeed! (Joshua 1:8) Every time you hear God's Word, every time you study the Bible, attend Bible study, attend church or right while you're reading, you're getting victory over Satan's lies or the tricks Satan has burdened your mind with. I encourage you to never quit pursuing God on a daily basis. Even though circumstances around you may not look that way, God has gifted you with the ability to be successful! God’s Word To You : “When you’re in over your head, I’ll be...

LORD Almighty, Blessed Is The One Who Trusts In You ! (Psalm 84:12) In life everyone has to learn this valuable truth—you will never receive God’s best until you become completely dissatisfied with second best. Jesus speaks to us when He tells us His reason for coming to this world in John 10:10 NLT, “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” Living out God’s purpose does not happen accidentally or automatically. The sad truth is, the world isn’t going to encourage you toward God’s best and most Christians aren’t either. If you don’t pursue it, you won’t get it. It’s not enough to just be rich, as it pertains to money or material things, because you can have riches, but be sick—or very successful, but be stressed and depressed. Only God can bring us to the place where we are satisfied, whole, entire, lacking nothing, in our soul, mind and emotions. (James 1:4) This satisfaction does not come from having all the things we want in life such as a career, dream home, dream ...

The message is simple: The New International Version teaches us, “If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you! The enemy, Satan knows God’s people are destroyed, if they lack of knowledge of God’s word. (Hosea 4:6 KJV, ESV) Satan also knows the more word of God we truly get in us, speak and stand on—Satan will flee! (Matthew 4:10) As we operate in faith by hearing, speaking and believing the message of the Kingdom of God, our lives are never the same and we are transformed by the supernatural power of God! Whatever the struggle, sickness or situation, get God’s Word in you, speak it out of you and watch God move for you! God’s Word To You : “If you live in me and what I say lives in you, then ask for anything you want, and it will be yours!" (John 15:7 GWT) Pray this prayer with me : Father, I ask You to lead me, guide me, protect me, according to Your Word! I believe You, I trust Your will for my life and I ask that You be...
