Forget What Is Behind And Strain Toward What Is Ahead ! (Philippians 3:14) Living in the past whether its yesterday, last week or last year, can come at a detriment to our future and can hinder us from receiving the promises of God! God promises in everything we experience in life, if we love Him, He will work everything out for our good and testimony! (Romans 8:28) After asking God to make us, mold us and shape us into His image, the problem arises, when we mumble and complain and get stuck in the wilderness, delaying the lesson learned and the testimony to be won! 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 the wilderness and into the promises of God—there is greater peace, greater favor and a fresh and greater anointing waiting! God’s Word To You : “When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, y...

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) In Romans 8:28 , “all things” means: through the bad times, the unpleasant, the ugly, etc…, God promises to work all things out for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose! It doesn’t matter the condition, I encourage you to continue to stand in faith, believe God loves you and believe God’s plans are to prosper you and give you hope for your future! God’s Word To You : “I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope!” (Jeremiah 29:11) Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, I ask that you strengthen me each day, as I live a life of faith and the life you’ve purposed me to live. As I continue to walk in my predestined places, thank you for maturing my faith to believe and experience your awesomeness! I hum...

Great Is God’s Faithfulness Towards Us ! The Faithful Love Of The LORD Never Ends! His mercies never cease! They are new every morning! (Lamentations 3:22-23) God’s love for us is greater than anything financially, relationally, emotionally, physically, anything… I encourage you to believe God loves you, trust His faithfulness and open the door to the greatness, restoration and rewards God has for you as an heir of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ! (Romans 8:17) Be still and trust the LORD is fighting for you! (Exodus 14:14) We’re More Than Conquerors Through Christ Who Loved Us! (Romans 8:37) 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 Savior!” (Isaiah 43:1-6) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, I thank you that your love for me is more powerful than anything i...

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13) Today we remember and proudly honor our brave men and women in uniform, who fought and died to defend our country and ensure our freedom. May their sacrifices and lives be honored today and may we never forget their service! Pray this prayer with me: Father, thank You for becoming the first example and sacrifice, so we may enjoy the peace and freedom we have today! (Romans 5:7-8) Father, I ask that you bless and comfort the families and loved ones who lost soldiers who so bravely fought for our peace and security. May they rest in peace and may you receive them into Your Kingdom as the last trumpet sounds! I thank you and I humbly pray, in Jesus' name, amen… Have a great day and a great week! Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you and you are extremely valuable and important in God’s eyes! In His service, Jacob...

Only Believe, You Will Surely See God’s Power ! (Mark 5:36) James 2:17 teaches us, until we act in faith, our faith is useless, however, the moment we act in faith we invite God to move on our behalf in a supernatural way! Today God is waiting for you to act, so that he can respond! I encourage you believe God for the unseen and the unheard and allow his Holy Spirit to be released in your circumstance! (Hebrews 11:1, 1 Corinthians 2:9) God’s Word To You : “Every valley will be raised. Every mountain and hill will be lowered. Steep places will be made level. Rough places will be made smooth. Then my glory will be revealed and all people will see it together. I the LORD have spoken!" (Isaiah 40:4-5) Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, as your word says, “whatsoever I ask in prayer, believing, I will receive! (Matthew 21:22) I ask, believe and receive every breakthrough manifestation you desire for me, because I trust your will is the very best for me! I thank you and I humbly pra...

Finally, Be Strong In The Lord, Relying On His Mighty Strength ! (Ephesians 6:10 ISV) Whenever we decide in our minds or actions, “I can deal with this situation by myself,” we’re relying on our human strength and not on the strength of God. But when we say, “LORD, I need your help every step of the way; I cannot do this by myself,” we tap into the real source of our strength — Jesus! God loves it when we depend on Him. God loves it when we acknowledge Him and He in turn makes our hard paths smooth! (Proverbs 3:6) I encourage you no matter the situation, no matter how frustrating it may seem, rest in the strength of God, until becomes the strength of your life and you will see His power manifest in your life and in your circumstances! God’s Word To You : “My power is strongest, when you are weak!" “I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will support you with my victorious right hand!” (2 Corinthians 12:9b, Isaiah 41:10) Pray this prayer with me : Awesome...

You Will Always Harvest Whatever You Plant! (Galatians 6:7) Encourage one another and edify, strengthen, build up one another, just as you are doing! (1 Thessalonians 5:11) Encouragement is a special ministry to hurting souls. We do not always have to agree with one another, even if a person doesn’t act respectfully and uplift us. However, as Christians, we’re instructed in Hebrews 3:13 to encourage each other daily, while it is still called today, so that no one is hardened by sin's deception. We should take joy in the fact that we’re able to encourage others in many different ways, whether it’s encouragement of faith or encouragement for an achievement or a goal met. I encourage you to take just a minute out of your day each day to offer someone a word of encouragement, they may need it more than you realize. You sow it today; it will come back to you! God’s Word To You : “We must also consider how to encourage each other to show love and to do good things!” (Hebrews 10:24 G...
