Stand Still, And See What The LORD Will Do To Save You Today ! (Exodus 14:13 GWT) When trials come and frustrations build, human nature often looks for a way to escape adversity. During the greatest storms of life, we must always remember—with experience comes growth! (2 Peter 1:3-8, James 1:2-4) Spiritual growth consists of: increasing knowledge and understanding of God's Word, increasing faith and trust in God, increasing practice of Christ-like qualities, while decreasing sinful nature. I encourage you, when it seems the world has turned against you and all odds are against you to stand in faith—The LORD Is Fighting For You! So Be Still! (Exodus 14:14 GWT) “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) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : Lord, I surrender all to You this day. I stand in faith, placing all my trust and hope in You, believing through You—victory is mine! (1 Corinthians 15:57) I humbly pra...

Everyone Who Is Born From God Has Won The Victory Over The World! (1 John 5:4) Christ has already won our present and future victory at Calvary! (John 19:30, 1 Corinthians 15:4, Romans 8:34) Whatever you face, Christ has defeated everything in this world and has placed ALL things under His authority. All who believe can walk in the victory of Christ’s power! (John 16:33, 1 Corinthians 15:27, John 14:12) I encourage you to take comfort in knowing, despite all things, overwhelming victory is yours through Christ who loved you! (1 Corinthians 15:57, Romans 8:37) "The mountains may move and the hills may shake, but My love and faithfulness will never depart from you!" "I've told you this so that My peace will be with you. In this world you'll have trouble. But cheer up! I have overcome the world!” (John 16:33, Isaiah 54:10) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, thank You for peace and victory You have given to me as Your child! May the words of my mouth, the...

Pray For Each Other So That You Will Be Healed ! The insistent, heartfelt, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective! (James 5:15-16) Prayer is our connection with our omnipotent {all-powerful} God! There is no problem too big, no difficulty God can’t handle, everything and anything God has within His control! (John 16:33) Nothing and no one is outside of His reach and absolutely nothing is impossible for God! (Psalm 100:3, Romans 8:37-39, Psalm 46:1, Genesis 28:15, Mark 9:23) I encourage you to approach God's throne of grace today with confidence, tell God what you need and begin to thank Him for all He has done! (Philippians 4:6) " Pray All The Time And Never Give Up !" “That's why I tell you to have faith that you have already received whatever you pray for and it will be yours!" If you ask anything in My Name I will do it!” (Luke 18:1 GWT, Mark 9:23 GWT, John 14:14) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me : Father, thank You for being my Chief...

It Hurries Toward Its Goal ! It won't be a lie. If it's delayed, wait for it. It will certainly happen. It Won't Be Late!” (Habakkuk 2:3 GWT) Ecclesiastes 5:3 teaches, “A dream comes with much business and painful effort.” Just because things aren’t exactly as you desire them to be at this moment or everything hasn’t unfolded, doesn’t mean God Almighty isn’t able to reach down and work through broken and imperfect vessels like you and I! (Jeremiah 18:6, Matthew 9:17) We are God’s workmanship. Before God built the dream, He built the dreamer and vice versa! (Ephesians 2:10, Jeremiah 1:5, Revelation 1:8 ) I encourage you to press through the difficult season, whether it’s one minute or one year, the waiting room or the delivery room— Those Who Put Their Trust In God, Will Not Be Ashamed ! (Psalm 25:3) “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) “I am the LORD! If...

In order to move forward into the greatness God has for you, never get comfortable where you are. Why? It’s temporary and it reveals the greatness of God within you! ( 2 Corinthians 4:17 GWT, 1 John 4:4) It’s always a good practice to live with expectancy that your atmosphere and all of your surroundings are getting ready to change for the better! (Jeremiah 29:11) At any moment, God can change your long expected prayer for your good, if you will only believe! (Romans 8:28, John 20:29, Ephesians 3:19-20 Mark 9:23) I encourage you to endure until the end, even if you’re not the fastest or the strongest runner—God has greater for you! (Ecclesiastes 9:11, Matthew 24:13, Hebrews 11:39-40) "Pray all the time and never give up!" "I will not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake or let you down!” (Luke 18:1, Hebrews 13:5) ~ God Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, today I surrender to You all that I have and all that I am and I ask that You continue to order my s...

Our LORD Is Great & His Power Is Great! There Is No Limit To His Understanding! (Psalm 147:5 GWT, Job 26:7-8) Life’s challenges can become extremely difficult and leave one wondering, “How can God take what I’m currently facing and work it out for good?” (1 Peter 5:7, Jeremiah, 29:11, Romans 8:28) I encourage you, when life brings difficulty; hold tight to God’s promises! (Hebrews 4:14) Wait patiently in faith and know our God is all-powerful—our God is forever faithful! (Isaiah 40:31, 1 John 5:4, 2 Corinthians 1:20) “I am the LORD, the God of all mankind.

God has a plan for you; but worrying reveals a lack of faith and disbelief in God’s plan. (Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28) When we see our big and awesome God for who He really is, “what we experience is an easy thing in the eyes of the LORD !” ( 2 Kings 3:18) That’s not saying, if we stop worrying, all of our problems will go away, but when we’re at our weakest, God gives us His strength and peace in the midst of difficulty which goes beyond anything we can imagine! ( 2 Corinthians 12:9, Philippians 4:7) No matter what, I encourage you today to pray, believe, stand in faith and see the salvation of the LORD! (Exodus 14:13)  “Let go of your concerns! Then you will know that I am God! I rule the nations! I rule the earth!” (Psalm 46:10 GWT) ~ God    Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, forgive me for being anxious, when so much on this earth is outside my control, but totally in Your control.
