If you walk around with your nose in the air, you’re going to end up flat on your face. But if you’re content to be simply yourself, you will become more than yourself! (Luke 14:11) God has given you goals and dreams, but He has also allowed enemies and challenges to come, to develop your character. (Genesis 37:1-44:9) Trust God! His supernatural power will empower you to accomplish all He has purposed in accordance with His Kingdom! (1 John 4:4, Jeremiah 29:11, Matthew 6:33) #Don’t allow your wounds to transform you into someone you’re not. (Psalm 34:19) #Your character will keep you after your dream becomes reality! (Genesis 50:20, Job 42:10) "Whoever honors himself will be humbled and whoever humbles himself will be honored!” (Matthew 23:12) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, according to Your will, I desire a heart that pleases You and a life that gives You glory.

Forget What’s Behind & Look Forward To What Lies Ahead—Greater Is Coming! (Philippians 3:13-14) When you refuse to “let go” and “let God,” you hinder the power of God from operating in your life. In life, you will have hurdles, twists, turns, ups and downs, but keep your faith and belief in God’s ability to affect those moments, knowing His favor on your life is supernatural! (1 John 4:4) I encourage you to cast all of your cares, worries and anxieties on the back of the Lord. Let Him carry them for you, and remember that He is truly interested in every facet of your life. ( 1 Peter 5:7 ) # His grace shifts natural circumstances! (2 Corinthians 9:8) “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 GWT) ~ GOD   Pray This Prayer With Me: Father, today I surrender to You and all...

Keep The Faith—You WILL Have A Strong Finish! (1 Corinthians 9:24) “After you have done the will of the LORD, you’ll 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) While waiting on God, 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!

(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 will stand and I'll do everything I intended to do!” “I watch over My word to accomplish i...

"Dear friends, don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you! Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in His suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing His glory when it is revealed to the entire world!” (1 Peter 4:12-13 NLT) God is Jehovah Rapha, our healer, Jehovah Jireh, our provider, Jehovah Gibbor, the LORD God almighty who battles on our behalf, Jehovah Shamma, the LORD is with us!

Trust In 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) (1 John 4:4, Romans 8:28) The enemy, satan will use all kinds of trickery to cause frustration and doubt concerning the voice of God. Human reasoning will try to stop God’s plan of abundant life. (John 10:10) Jesus didn’t leave us hopeless and abandoned; He placed an internal force to guide His every decision and direction, but we must renew our mind daily! (John 14:26, John 16:5-16, Romans 12:2) Seeking the Will of God, rather than seeking to understand during difficult times, teaches us how to trust God’s awesome connection and resource. #Trust God’s voice completely! #Your life will be abundantly blessed! (Philippians 4:6, Matthew 7:7-8) WATCH! I'm about to carry out something new & now it's springing up—don't you recognize it? I'm making a way in the wilderness and paths in the desert. (Isaiah...

Too often many give up on their purpose, because they’re listening to the wrong people, who don’t believe in their God given potential and those who don’t share their dreams. Ecclesiastes 5:3 tells us, “A dream comes with much business and painful effort.” You have to learn that the pain you experience and the criticism you hear from others—cannot outweigh the direction you hear from God. (Isaiah 54:17) When God gives you an assignment, you have to go “all in” for it, don’t backup and don’t look back! (Luke 9:62) Let the words of doubters (nonbelievers) and haters (enemies), roll off your back, while you remain focused, moving forward! God will guide you into your greatest days as you quickly obey His Voice. (Proverbs 3:6) Your God given identity, in Christ, is putting a demand to do great exploits! (Daniel 11:32) #Take action now by faith! (2 Corinthians 5:7) #There will be provisions for the God Vision! (Jeremiah 29:11) “No weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silen...

A powerful foundation of a blessed life starts with knowing who God is and praising Him and not mumbling and complaining. (Numbers 11) Circumstances can turn around when you start praising God! (Zephaniah 3:9-20) Not only does praise put focus on God, it changes your perspective of circumstances around you. Regardless of what’s going on around you, don’t let it get in you and get the best of you! People, places and things can take you out of character, only when you give them the space and allow them to do so. So go forth today in your God-given calling with this declaration, “I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalm 34:1) “In every situation let Me know what you need in prayers and requests while giving THANKS. Then My peace, which goes beyond anything you can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions!” (Philippians 4:6-7) ~ GOD Pray This Prayer With Me: Father of exceeding abundance, I give you glory and I’m thankful Your Wi...
