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)   #But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired! (Isaiah 40:31 ...

Jesus speaks to us in Luke 10:19, when He says, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you!” The word nothing is all-inclusive and guaranteed! It covers every aspect of life! Whatever weapon that has been fashioned, formed or tailor made for you—It Will Not Work! The LORD Will Protect You From All Harm; He Will Protect Your Life! (Psalm 121:7 GWT) " In righteousness you will be established: Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake !" (Isaiah 54:14-15) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, Your word says in 2 Corinthians 4:9, in every way I’m troubled, but I’m not crushed by troubles. I get frustrated, but I don't give up. I’m persecuted, but not abandoned; struck d...

The LORD is searching for those who will allow themselves to be used as vessels in which He can channel His supernatural anointing to flow through. (2 Chronicles 16:9, 1 John 4:4) As you make yourself available for His Kingdom service, the river of His goodness and grace is going to accelerate in your life! Because of your obedience, you will experience a shift of momentum, causing you to be a channel of refreshing to others! (Ephesians 4:11-13) I encourage you to seek the Kingdom of God daily, keep Jesus at the forefront of your thoughts and the guider of your path, so that in all things, at all times, you will have everything you need!

I will make your name great and you will be a blessing to others!” (Genesis 12:2) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: LORD, as I make Your Kingdom and Your Righteousness my priority, thank You for Your continual blessings upon my life.

Hebrews 10:36 teaches us, “After you have done the will of the LORD, you will receive all He has promised !” (Hebrews 10:36) As you seek and wait on God, don’t quit, don’t run away from difficulty, pace yourself—God will supply all you need in abundance for His glory! (Isaiah 40:31, Galatians 6:9, Matthew 6:33) I encourage you while waiting, to remain positive, keep your expectations high; be convinced that God, who began this good work in you, will carry it through to completion on the day of Christ Jesus! (Philippians 1:6) “ I watch over My word to accomplish it!" “My Word that goes out of my mouth, it will not return to me empty. Instead, it will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it!” (Genesis 28:15, Jeremiah 32:27 GWT, Jeremiah 1:12 HCSB, Isaiah 55:11 ) ~ GOD   Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, You have fulfilled Your promises over and over again throughout thousands of years to all who believe.

You will never accomplish all God destined, looking in the “rearview mirror.” Whether it’s guilt from past sins, grudges, which led to unforgiveness, etc… You have to ask yourself, “how many “rearview mirror thoughts” are distracting, holding me back or how many plaques I have hanging on the wall of my mind I reminisce about?” Mistakes, hurts, disappointments, failures and cares should all be given to God, and every effort made daily, towards the greater future God has prepared! (1 Peter 5:7, Matthew 5:48, Jeremiah 29:11) I encourage you to press forward, don’t look back, seek the word of God, become stronger and wiser in the Lord and you will experience prosperity and success! (Joshua 1:8) “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) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, I trust that You are faithful to every promise and You desire to be close to me. (James 4:8) LORD, ...

In 2017, May What You’ve Had In The Past Seem Small In Comparison To The Great Prosperity God Has For Your Future! (Job 8:7) May God through His tender mercy and immeasurable favor richly fill your every need in a glorious way through Christ Jesus! (Ephesians 2:4-5, Philippians 4:19 GWT) I encourage you in 2017 to expect God’s abundant supply and watch God meet ALL your needs and bless you exceedingly and abundantly above all you can ask, think or imagine! (Mark 9:23, Ephesians 3:19-21) “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) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, as I seek Your Kingdom daily, Your will and Your righteousness above all else, I ask that You fill me completely with more of You and less of me, so my life may bring You glory in 2017! (Matthew 6:33) May the words of my mouth, the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD be my rock an...

Seek His will in all you do & He will show you which path to take! (Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT)) #God who has begun a good work within you will bring it to completion! (Philippians 1:6) “When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you. When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down.
