It’s Good To Give Thanks To The LORD! (Psalm 92:1) We need to create a lifestyle of thanksgiving, because every good and perfect gift comes from God! (James 1:17) Everything we enjoy in the present and in the days and years to come is a gift from God worthy of thanksgiving! Even in our trials and tribulations, the LORD is good! [He is] a fortress in the day of trouble. He knows those who seek shelter in Him! (Nahum 1:7) I encourage you to have an attitude of gratitude and see the Lord’s goodness, mercy and most of all His love for you! The LORD is good to everyone and has compassion for everything that He has made! (Psalm 145:9) “My sheep will never be lost and no one will tear them away from Me!” “I came so that My sheep will have life and so that they will have everything they need!” (John 10:28, John 10:10) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, today I say thank You for working out all things for my good! (Romans 8:28) I thank You for being good all the time and all the time...

Always Be Thankful! (Colossians 3:15) Every day in every way we should give thanks for the favor of God. The more you give thanks and praise to God for favor, the more God will cause favor to happen for you. Things will not always go the way you have planned, but as long as you remain confident; God’s purposes are for your good, you will see His goodness manifested more and more! (Romans 8:28, Hebrews 10:35) Begin every day of your life with a declaration of faith of God’s favor on your life. Even when discouragement comes, don’t give up—God is empowering you to live in abundance and He has given you grace for today through His indwelling Spirit! (Matthew 6:34) #God’s grace shifts natural circumstances and demonstrates God’s supernatural power! #God’s favor is on you! "The mountains may move and the hills may shake, but My love and faithfulness will never depart from you!" “My Grace Is Sufficient For You, My Power Is Made Perfect In Weakness!" (Isaiah 54:10, 2 Cori...

Great Is God’s Faithfulness Toward 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! God knows and desires only our very best always! (Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:28) #Because God is for you, in all things you’re more than victorious through Him who first loved you! (Romans 8:37 HCSB, 1 John 4:19) # Nothing Can Separate Us from God’s Love! ( Romans 8:31-39) “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!" "The mountains may move and the hills may shake, but My love and faithfulness will never depart from you!" ( Isaiah 41:10 ISV , Isaiah 54:10) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, thank You for the love You have for me that’s more powerful than anything in creation, past or present! I trust Your faithfulness to ev...

God’s present and future plans are always for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope! (Jeremiah 29:11 HCSB) The Hebrew translation for welfare is shalom meaning, “peace, complete state of well-being; fulfillment, happiness and prosperity.” God’s truth unlocks your life to increase and accelerate movement for the Kingdom of God! (Isaiah 29:18-19, Isaiah 60:1-3)The plan for your life and the circumstances you’re dealing with at this very moment are designed for you to call on God, seek Him and you will find Him! (Matthew 7:7) I encourage you to trust God and believe greater is coming! #He is working everything out for your good and His glory! (Romans 8:28) #God is ready to EXCEED your EXPECTATIONS! #You are destined for a life of increased fruitfulness as you follow the Lord! “I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future!” (Jeremiah 29:11) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, no matter ho...

“Watch Your Mouth” is one of the many pearls of wisdom I was taught at an early age. Watch Your Mouth simply means, “Be mindful of what you say, before you say it, so your words won’t get you into trouble.” That same idea is true with faith. If you want to know how mature your faith is, pay closer attention to your words. When you speak, do you build or edify with your words or do you tear down, are you courteous or rude, do you bless or curse, etc.…? (Romans 14:19, 1 Corinthians 13:5, Romans 12:14) I encourage you to Watch Your Mouth, because God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more than all you ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within you! (Ephesians 3:20) "The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life!” (John 6:63 NIV) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, I invite you into my thoughts, ideas and feelings, so I can have a renewed mind—the mind of Christ. (Philippia...

“Press Toward The Mark For The Prize Of The High Calling Of God In Christ Jesus!” (Philippians 3:14) In this scripture, Apostle Paul knew the power of focusing on his God given assignment when he said, “I press toward the mark...” Broken focus will cause certain defeat in your life. You must always stay alert! Enemies and warfare are sent into your life to break your focus. (1 Peter 5:8) People of vision see God and His promises and they’re not focused on the behavior and customs of this world. They allow God to transform them in their thinking and actions. (Habakkuk 2:3, Romans 12:1-3) It’s too easy to quit and say, “This is too hard or impossible” and walk away, but it takes faith to press on to victory! #Greater Is He Within You! (1 John 4:4) #God will help you do what you cannot not do in your natural for His Glory—you make spiritual progress! (2 Corinthians 12:9) #Keep It Moving & Never Give Up! (Numbers 13)  “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to...

Spiritual growth consists of: increasing knowledge and understanding of God's Word, increasing faith and trusting in God, while decreasing sinful nature. (Hosea 4:6) The thief, satan, comes only to steal, kill and destroy; but God sent His son, Jesus, so that we may have life and have it in all its fullness! (John 10:10, John 3:16-17) I encourage you, when it seems all odds are against you and nothing is working in your favor, to believe; all things will work together for your good, according to His purpose! (Romans 8:28) #Stand In Faith—The LORD Is Fighting For You! So Be Still! (Exodus 14:14 GWT) “Stand Still & See What I Will Do To Save You Today!” (Exodus 14:13 GWT) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Lord, I surrender all to You this day. I stand in faith, placing all trust and hope in You, believing through You—victory is mine! (1 Corinthians 15:57) I humbly pray this prayer, in Jesus' Name, Amen. Never forget, in all circumstances, God loves you and you are extreme...
