God has given you great dreams and promises; however there is no testimony of God’s greatness to you void of a test. In order for you to be the vessel of honor, you must overcome the tests and trials that God allows to come. (1 John 4:4, 1 John 5:5) The Good News is, every test God allows you to face, it will all work out for your good according to God’s purpose! (Romans 8:28, Jeremiah 29:11) James 1:2-4 teaches us to “Be very happy when you are tested in different ways, knowing that the testing of your faith develops perseverance! Let perseverance finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing!” I encourage you to be thankful and give thanks to God, for this is the will of God for you who are in Christ Jesus—the Revealer and Mediator of that will! (1 Thessalonians 5:18 AMP) “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, beca...

Although you have been afflicted in some way or another, God promises deliverance every time, no matter what or how many! Not just some, a few or most, but every single time! God would not allow anything to happen to His child who loves Him, except it was for your good. (Romans 8:28) I encourage you to remain faithful as your chapter does not end here! Expect God to deliver according to His Word! God has a unique ability to always be on time! You can trust, know and put it all in His hands! God WILL turn it around in your favor and work this out for your good! (2 Corinthians 9:8) “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: Father, Thank You for never leaving me or failing me. (Hebrews 13:5) I ask for Your strength this day and I thank You for gi...

Everyone Who Is Born From God Has Won The Victory Over The World! (1 John 5:4) God’s Spirit within you is so much stronger than anything you’ll ever face. (1 John 4:4) This season is not optional. You must live life according to what God has purposed and move by faith into it now. (Romans 8:28, Romans 8:37) Your present and future blessings are directly connected to the steps of faith you make today. (Hebrews 11:1, Ephesians 3:20, 2 Corinthians 4:18) In the book of Matthew 6:33, Jesus encourages us when He says, “Stop looking at all that threatens you and focus on God!” God will provide you with everything you need, be it favorably, physically, financially, relationally, etc... “I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world." (John 16:33 HCSB) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, Your plans for me are amazing and almost impossible for me to see without the eye-opening help ...

Your mind, vision and potentials are primary targets of the devil. Our Heavenly Father sees every major and minor detail of your life, from the beginning of time through eternity. (Psalm 139:13-18) God who has begun a good work within you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ! (Philippians 1:6) You have to realize that you have a high calling to achieve great things for Him—you are called to conquer! (Philippians 3:14, Romans 8:37) Our God is great within you and He is greater than anything you’ll ever face! (1 John 4:3-5) His mercies NEVER cease! They are new every morning! (John 16:33, Lamentations 3:22-23) “I know the plans I have for you… "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope!” (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, today, tomorrow and in the days to come, help me to see clearly Your plan unfold in my life. (Proverbs 3:4-6) Strengthen me to walk in faith that pleases You alone! (Hebrews 11:...

In Genesis 18:14, God asked Abraham, “Is anything too hard for the LORD?” He healed blinded eyes! (Matthew 9:27-31) He unstopped deaf ears! (Mark 7:31-37) He raised the dead! (John 11:1-44) God clothed Himself in human flesh, to live and to teach us His plan of salvation, to redeem, to proclaim liberty to the captives, to recover the sight of the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed! (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38, Luke 4:18) In Matthew 9:28-29, Jesus speaks to us today as He spoke to the blind men, when Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to Him, "Yes, Lord." Then He touched their eyes, saying, "It shall be done to you according to your faith." And their eyes were opened! I encourage you to make your response, “Yes, Lord!” According to your faith, it will be done for you! We live by faith, not by sight! ( 2 Corinthians 5:7 NIV) "Nothing is too hard for Me!” “If you can believe, all things are po...

All Of Our Help Comes From The Lord—The Maker Of Heaven & Earth! (Psalm 121:1-2) It’s easy to allow emotions to take control of your life, when life is hard, when wearied and you feel like you’re in a valley. (Psalms 23) We have promises from God that do not change—He remains true to every promise! (Hebrews 6:17–18) No matter what we’re experiencing—God is our place of safety! He gives strength to the weak! He’s always there to help us in the time of trouble! (Psalm 46:1) As children of the highest God, we never have to fear the unknown or the inescapable, we’re not failures, we’re never quitters, we’re victors, trophies of God’s grace, set on display as a fragrant and everyday reminder to satan of God's goodness to us! (2 Corinthians 4:9, 2 Corinthians 2:14) "Pray all the time and never give up!" "I will never fail you. I will never abandon you!” (Luke 18:1, Hebrews 13:5 NLT) ~ GOD Check Out Tye Tribbett - What Can I Do, by clicking on the following YouTube...

Human reasoning says, “It’s impossible to be healed physically, relationally, mentally or financially, based on feelings or conditions.” Isaiah 53:5 prophetically speaks of Jesus’ supernatural completed work when it says, “By His stripes we are healed.” Healed means, the work was complete at Calvary! (John 19:30) Doctors and conditions can make their diagnosis or predictions and they serve their purpose, however it takes faith to believe the report of the LORD. (Isaiah 53:1) I encourage you, even in the midst of a seemingly extremely impossible situation, declare “By His Stripes I Am Healed!” God is faithful! (1 Corinthians 1:9) God keeps His promises! (Numbers 23:19-20) “I am the LORD, who heals 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!” (Exodus 15:26, Isaiah 41:13) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, I surrender all to You and I ask that You empower me to take big steps in life to believe the im...
