Believe You Will See The Goodness Of The LORD ! (Psalm 27:13) Waiting for God’s timing is never wasted time, it’s important in growing our faith! While waiting in faith our sight is limited, but as we walk by faith and not by sight, our faith yields good and eternal results! (Hebrews 11:1, 2 Corinthians 5:7, 2 Corinthians 4:18) I encourage you not to give in to conditions that surround you—your greatest blessing may be hidden in trouble and hardship. (Job 42:10) It may have started out bad and was intended for bad, but God can turn it around for your good! (Genesis 50:20) “Never worry about anything, but in every situation let Me know what you need in prayers and requests while giving thanks! Then My peace, which goes beyond anything you can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions!” (Philippians 4:6-7) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, teach me to recognize when I’m to take a seat in Your "waiting room.” As I wait for Your perfect will and timing, I ask for Your g...

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) As we live, we will face life’s challenges, however difficult, God promises to make a way where there seems to be no way and He will work it all out for good! (John 16:33, Isaiah 43:19, Romans 8:28) I encourage you stand firm in faith, believe God’s loving plans are to prosper you and not harm you, and give you hope and a future! (Jeremiah 29:11) “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, the Holy one of Israel, Your Savior.” (Isaiah 43:2 MSG) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, I ask that You empower me each day, as I live a life of faith and purpose. As I continue to walk in my predestined places, thank You for preparing a way, so I may experience all that You have prepared f...

The Lord God Is Your Strength, Your Personal Bravery & Your Invincible Army ! (Habakkuk 3:19 AMP) When trials come and frustrations begin to grow, it’s easy to feel down and weary. The Word of God tells us in Matthew 26:41, “The spirit is still willing, but flesh is weak.” The spirit is willing to keep praying, believing, pressing and standing firm in faith, even 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 encourage you to take this word to heart and open the door to greatness, restoration and rewards God has for you as an heir of God and co-heirs with Christ! (Romans 8:17) “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) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : LORD, t...

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) Our Heavenly Father’s love for us is unconditional and He knows and desires only the best always! (Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28) I encourage you, no matter what you’re experiencing, believe—in all these things we’re more than victorious through Him who loved us! (Romans 8:37 HCSB) “I'm with you; don't be anxious, because I am your God. I keep on strengthening you; I'm truly helping you. I'm surely upholding you with my victorious right hand!" (Isaiah 41:10 ISV) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, thank You for Your love for me that’s more powerful than anything in creation, past, present and future! I trust You’re faithful to every promise and for that reason I am grateful! I humbly pray, in Jesus' mighty name, amen… Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you and you are extremely valuable...

Whatever You Plant Is What You Will Harvest ! (Galatians 6:7 GWT) Whether we know it as “you going to reap what you sow” or “what goes around comes around.” If people followed this Golden Rule, “Do unto others what you would like them to do to you,” this world would be a better place. (Matthew 7:12) Everyone, to include Christian and non-Christian, don’t follow this rule, because they continuously hold grudges, say and do mean things to people with no regard. If you’re a Cristian and you don’t practice this rule, I encourage you to continue to do right, when wronged, bless, when cursed, love, when hated, pray, when preyed on and always forgive quickly. (Luke 6:28, John 15:18, Mark 11:25) Christians are called to a fullness of life which far exceeds the dimensions of our earthly existence and we cannot miss Heaven and all of its blessings, getting even or harvesting unforgiveness, just because someone wronged us. Whatever treatment we expect to receive from God, is the same measure we m...

In Matthew 7:7-8 NLT the scripture teaches us to A.S.K [Ask, Seek, Knock], “Keep on ASKING, you will receive what you ask for. Keep on SEEKING, you will find. Keep on KNOCKING, the door will be opened to you. Everyone who ASKS receives. Everyone who SEEKS finds. Everyone who KNOCKS the door will be opened!” In light of this truth, I encourage you to believe in faith, nothing is too hard for God—God is able to do above and beyond all that “I” ASK or think, according to His power that works in me! (Jeremiah 32:27, Ephesians 3:20) "If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you!” “All things are possible to you, if you can believe!” (John 15:7, Mark 9:23 NKJV) Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, I thank You for the blessing of grace You have given to me this day and for Your faithfulness to me! (Lamentations 3:22-23) Holy Spirit, I ask that You to help me pray correctly and consistently, according to Your will for my life and from ...

In Matthew 14:23-33, as the storm began to get worse, Peter and the disciples began to fear. Around three in the morning, Jesus went to them, walking on the sea and the disciples feared more, because they thought Jesus was a ghost. Peter said, “if it’s You LORD, tell me to come to You on the water." Jesus said, It is I, come.” Peter began to walk on the water and as long as Peter focused on Jesus, he was successful, but the moment Peter took his eyes off of Jesus (the goal) and began to focus on the storm, Peter began to sink. No matter how strong the storm, if your eyes are on Jesus and your faith is in Him, you won’t fail! (Isaiah 26:3-4) I thank God for His grace, because although Peter feared, Jesus took Peter by his hand and saved him. I encourage you, no matter how the waters of uncertainty surrounding you may get, do not fear the deep or the unknown. Although your way seems difficult or impossible, you can be confident in this—“Nothing is too hard for God" (Jeremiah 32...
