God Has A Plan For You That Goes Far Beyond What You Can Ask, Think Or Imagine! (Ephesians 3:20) As children of God, we all go through trials and afflictions in order to stretch our faith, however many or however difficult, the LORD promises deliverance. (Psalms 34:19) Not only does this process produce deliverance, the stretching of our faith positions us to contain the harvest God has promised us in this new season. (James 1:3) There is more room to receive now, where there wasn’t before! (Matthew 9:17) I encourage you to fix your eyes on Jesus, do not despise your past or small beginnings, forget what people say, people will say it anyway—just remember what God has said! See your destiny, take it and believe—Greater Is Coming! God’s Word To You : “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 43:18-19) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, I thank you for reminding me of the gre...

The Lord God Is Your Strength, Your Personal Bravery & Your Invincible Army! (Habakkuk 3:19)   In life, when trials come and frustrations begin to grow, flesh becomes weak. However weak flesh gets, the spirit is still willing to keep praying, to keep believing, to keep pressing, to keep standing the test under pressure. It is the reliance on the Holy Spirit and the expectation of God’s promises that keeps us focused on the future. (Jeremiah 29:11)   I challenge you to take this word of encouragement to heart and open the door to greatness, restoration and rewards God has for you as an heir of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ! (Romans 8:17) B e still and trust the LORD is fighting for you! (Exodus 14:14) God’s Word To You: “When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end, because I am God, your personal God, The Holy One of Israel, your...

Words Kill, Words Give Life ; they're either poison or fruitful—you choose! (Proverbs 18:21 MSG) In order to receive the fullness of God’s promises to us, our faith has to be tested. (Hebrews 11:6) Life’s tests can come in many forms such as: sickness, hardship, loss of a job, etc..., which leads to frustration, anguish and at times can leave us emotionally drained if we allow. The way we think is very important to seeing the supernatural, the miraculous and the abundance of blessings released in our lives. Your present mindset of expectancy and faith, combined with the help of the Holy Spirit, will give you all that God said was yours! I encourage you not to allow your upset to cause a setback in your faith and thinking process. Advance forward from this moment where you have been positioned by God and receive the harvest and fresh anointing God has promised you in this new season! (Philippians 3:13) God’s Word To You : "Nothing is too hard for me!” "If you remain in...

Greater Is He That Is In You ! (1 John 4:4) It’s easy to raise both hands up and say, “This is too hard or impossible” and walk away. In life there are test and much like school, when we pass the test, we get promoted, however, when we fail, we have to take it again. The good news is, we’re not alone, we have the Holy Spirit within us and we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us! (Philippians 4:13) God is the champion at bringing people from a place of destruction to a place of total victory. No matter the circumstances surrounding, we’re not failures, we’re not quitters—we’re champions elected by God! As we reach the place of victory we become trophies of God’s grace and they are set on display as a fragrant reminder of God's goodness! (2 Corinthians 2:14) God’s Word To You : "Pray all the time and never give up!" (Luke 18:1) "I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake or let you down! (Hebrews 13:5 Amp) Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD,...

Everyone Who Is Born From God Has Won The Victory Over The World! (1 John 5:4) Today the Christian community celebrates Good Friday as one of the most important days of the year. One may ask, “Why do we call it Good Friday, when such a gruesome public murder took place?” We call it Good Friday, because Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. The good news is, Jesus did not remain in the grave, He was resurrected on that 3rd day, so we celebrate from Good Friday leading up to Resurrection Sunday! Just as Christ won the victory at Calvary, He is waiting on us to carry out that same victory in our own lives! As God’s children, we have nothing to fear when the enemy strikes, since God has placed everything under His feet, He has placed everything under our feet as well! (Hebrews 2:8) With God in control of every aspect of our lives, we can always expect that in the end victory belongs to Him and victory belongs to us! God’s Word To You : ...

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) God has a plan for you; however, worrying demonstrates a lack of faith and doubt in God’s plan. As children of God, God desires for us to live freely, be happy and trust Him in everything that happens, knowing He will work everything out for our good! (Romans 8:28)   When we’ve prayed and done everything in our power, that means it’s no longer our issue; it’s God’s issue who is omnipotent—almighty, all-powerful! I encourage you today, pray, believe, stand in faith and see what the LORD will do to save you today! (Exodus 14:13) God’s Word To You: “Let go of your concerns! Then you will know that I am God!” (Psalm 46:10) Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, I thank you that when people, places and things fail me, as a believer, I can look to you and know the unlimited greatness of your power and love as it works with migh...

Forget What Is Behind And Strain Toward What Is Ahead! (Philippians 3:14) As the children of Israel faced the Red Sea with nowhere to go in Exodus 14, in our very own lives we too will have those Red Sea moments, where we feel stuck and defeated, with nowhere to go. As we continue to read in Exodus 14, we see God made away for them to make it over to dry land and as God made a way for them, God will make a way for you too! I encourage you today not to give in to the conditions surrounding you, however, take the time through spiritual discipline to see the advantage God has given you. Walk in your destiny, through and on the other side of your Read Sea, there is greater peace, greater favor and a fresh and greater anointing! 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: LORD, I ask you to strengthen me to continue to endure and to press ahead, in spite of ...
