Confidence is trusting God based on experience. Experience is knowledge of what you know God can do and how He always comes through, even when there’s delay or seemingly no progress. During this process, you must NEVER lose heart of the vision God has placed inside of you. (Philippians 1:6) Refuse to even give thought to aborting dreams you’ve carried for so long. When you sense temptation to give in and quit, I challenge you, by the Spirit of the Living God, to stop, take notice of where those thoughts are coming from, and remind yourself that you’re a child of the Most High God! Exercise “patient endurance” as you move to do the will of God and see the manifestation what you believe! (Hebrews 10:36-38, Psalm 27:14, Hebrews 11:1) "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to Me. My peace, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus!” (Philippians 4:6-7 NIV)...

God’s love will never fail or disappoint us, because His love never fails! His mercies never cease! They are new every morning! (Lamentations 3:22-23) Our Heavenly Father’s love for us is unconditional! There’s nothing you can do to make God love you more, and there is nothing you can do to make God love you less. God knows and desires only the best for His children 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) “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...

You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of Your presence and the pleasures of living with You forever! (Psalm 16:11) Everything God has revealed about Himself is true, even in the darkest times. (Lamentations 3:21-23) When life turns hard and during the most difficult moments, the faith of a believer shines brighter than ever before. (2 Corinthians 12:9) Although you may feel uneasy this season, don’t grow weary. (Galatians 6:9, 1 John 4:4) #You can wait on God and trust in Him alone. (Job 35:14) #The season of hardship will come to a conclusion, for God’s glory and by His grace! When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you! (Isaiah 43:2) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, as my faith is tested to produce endurance, I ask for Your strength and longevity. (James 1:4, Hebrews 10:36) For Yo...

Don't Look Back, Lengthen Your Stride & Run Straight Toward The Goal To Win The Prize That God's Heavenly Call Offers In Christ Jesus!   (Philippians 3:14) In life, there will be seasons it seems everything is going in your favor. You’ve made the right choices and everything is seemingly looking up, but sooner or later; seasons change and it becomes difficult to reach the smallest goal. Defeat can leave us feeling broken, disappointed or useless. Life’s race won’t always be easy and you may have to run alone, but I encourage you to keep the faith—you will have a Strong Finish! (2 Corinthians 2:14, Romans 8:28, 2 Timothy 4:7) #You Were Born To Win! (1 John 5:4) #Your End Will Be Greater Than Your Beginning! (Job 42:12 ) #Walk By Faith, Not By Sight, You’ll Receive ALL That God Has For You! (2 Corinthians 5:7) “I am God and there's no one like Me! From the beginning I revealed the end. From long ago I told you things that had not yet happened, saying, "My plan w...

David declared in Psalm 40:1-2, “I waited patiently for the LORD.” The word patiently means David waited without complaining, suffered long and did not grow weary. (Galatians 6:9) Being patient is key when trusting God. If you’re walking by faith, waiting and resting in the promises of God, God will hear your cry and deliver! (Psalm 34:4, 2 Chronicles 20:17) I encourage you to stop focusing on how long you’ve been waiting for a sequence of events to occur, but instead place your trust in the One who manages the agenda of your life. As you wait, rest assured—everything God has promised will come in His perfect timing and His purpose will bring good out of this! (Isaiah 40:31, Romans 8:28) “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, Thank You for never leaving or failing me. (Hebrews 13:5) I ask for Your strength and I thank You fo...

The LORD Himself Goes Before You & Will Be With You; He Will Never Leave You Or Forsake You. Do NOT be afraid; Do NOT be discouraged! (Deuteronomy 31:8) Don’t allow yourself to be one among the multitudes that give up, short of seeing your dreams become reality. Commit, go for it, and never give up; believe in God for your dreams, future and life! #God is great within you and He is greater than anything in this world! (1 John 4:3-5) #Trust the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 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. 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 as...

When we refuse to “let go” & “let God,” we hinder the power of God from operating in our life and we put a stop to the manifestation of His blessings. In the race of life, you will have hurdles, twists, turns, ups and downs. If you desire to image Jesus, you must allow the much needed courses to stretch you and break past restraints that have limited you. #God Is Preparing You For Greater! (1 Corinthians 2:9, Haggai 2:9) #Remain Focused! (Philippians 3:13-14) #Keep It Moving & Never Give Up! (Numbers 13) “Forget what happened in the past, and do not dwell on events from long ago. I am going to do something new. It’s already happening. Don't you recognize it? I will clear a way in the desert. I will make rivers on dry land!” (Isaiah 43:18-19) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, today I surrender to You all that You have ordered my steps and assigned me to. (Psalm 37:23) As I walk in Your predestined plan, I declare, "Greater Is Now & Greater Coming!...
