The Wonderful Aromas of Thanksgiving

Nov28

Ah, the wonderful time of Thanksgiving. Sitting around the table with family and friends. Enjoying each other’s company filled with happiness and laughter. And, we certainly can’t forget about all the turkey, trimmings and pumpkin pie. What a glorious day to enjoy each year. The wonderful aromas filling the air.

But, have you ever taken a moment to look at the word, Thanksgiving. Do you realize that it can be broken down into two words? THANKS and GIVING!

When I think of Thanksgiving…sure, I remember all the wonderful memories of the years gone by. Cooking in the kitchen, enjoying the laughter, and watching football on TV. It is an amazing time for all to be had.

Have you ever realized that it could and should be a daily occurrence? Every time we wake up, we should THANK THE LORD for a new day. We should be thankful and grateful for the amazing day He has in store for us. It doesn’t matter what our circumstances look like at the moment. He has the answers and His ways are far beyond ours…so, we should be thankful that He will provide, heal, strengthen, and guide our steps.

We should also wake up each morning and be on the lookout of GIVING to someone in need. Giving is not just financial. You can GIVE a smile. You can GIVE time. You can GIVE kindness. You can GIVE a helping hand. There are so many ways to GIVE to our fellow man without breaking the bank. We just need to keep our eyes open and be ready to move when God shows us the way. It can be something as small as opening a door for someone. The key here is not to miss a moment; for giving is a beautiful way of living. You never know what that person is going through and you just might be God’s answer to them.

Let’s take a quick glance at what the Bible says about “Thanksgiving”:

  • 1 Thessalonians 5:18   Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
  • Psalm 107:1   Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!
  • Philippians 4:6   Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
  • Luke 6:38  Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.

See, every day is filled with opportunity. It can be filled with anger and depression or it can be filled with love and laughter. We all have a choice to make every time we wake up in the morning. So, from now on, how will you treat Thanksgiving? For me and my house, I will serve the Lord and continuously be thankful in all things and give wherever He leads me.

All Mighty God – El Shaddai

Nov24

almighty God-elshaddai

The first occurrence of El Shaddai is in Gen. 17:1 when God is giving Abraham the sign of His covenant with him. “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, ‘I am the Sovereign God.’”

In Jacob’s farewell address in Gen. 49:25 Jacob makes a connection between the title of El Shaddai and the promises of blessings of the breast and womb, which is a word play between Shaddai and shad (breast). “…because of the Sovereign God, who will bless you with blessings from the sky above, blessings from the deep that lies below, and blessings of the breasts and womb.

El Shaddai is such a powerful title of our Loving Father. The meaning of El Shaddai speaks of power and strength. It also refers to God completely nourishing, satisfying and supplying His people with all their needs as a mother would her child. God freely gives us all good things because He is our sustainer. There is absolutely no coincidence that mom’s condition was directly related to our writing this week.

God wants us all complete, whole and restored…fully with nothing missing and nothing broken!!! So when you are faced with the un-faceable things of this world…SURRENDER IT TO HIM and REMEMBER…GOD IS ALL POWERFUL, ALL LOVING, and IS THE CREATOR OF THIS UNIVERSE. Nothing is too hard for Him! He freely gives to those who love Him, to those who trust Him and to those who are willing to surrender to Him!

This week I ask all of you to Surrender to Him ~ Walk in faith ~ Talk with God ~ And Walk Boldly Everyday! He will see you through your darkest hours and you will be prosperous in every area of your life! His name guarantees it and what He does for one, He will do for all!

You Have The Authority

Nov23

Big GodDo you have problems in your life? Does your body have aches and pain? Feel like you’re running in circles with no way out? Is your life out of control? Have an addiction? Need a miracle?

It is so easy to focus on the difficulties in life. And the more you focus on the problems, the larger they begin to look. The more you feel a pain in your body, the worse it seems to get. The more you try to quit an addiction, the more hold it has on you. Well…Today is your day to take back your authority.

Jesus said in Matthew 28:18 – “…All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me (Jesus).” Well if Jesus was given all authority over everything in heaven and the earth, and if you gave your life to Christ, THEN YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN ALL THE AUTHORITY TOO!

As soon as you gave your life to Jesus Christ, you were given everything He has. He gave you righteousness, healing, love, power of a sound mind, restoration, and riches according to His glory. Everything good comes from God. There is absolutely nothing missing or broken in God’s Kingdom in heaven or earth.

However, Satan is the current ruler of the earth and roams to kill, steal, and destroy. (John 10:10) Satan, the crafty serpent, is trying to do everything he can to keep you in pain, trouble, and difficulties.  He knows that if you get this revelation THAT YOU HAVE ALL AUTHORITY then he knows the next part is coming too…

Luke 10:19: “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.”

Not only do you have the authority and the power over the enemy but you have also been given the Holy Spirit which is your helper and comforter.

John 14:26- “But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”

You are never left alone. You have all the help you need. Ask the Holy Spirit for the revelation of your authority through Christ. The more you understand your true inheritance, the more your problems and troubles will disappear for He who lives in you is greater than he who lives in this world! Don’t give the devil one more day to antagonize you. His time is up and you now know the true! Take up your authority today and make the serpent slither away! Your victory is at hand!

God Is All Powerful

Please heed this word of caution…as you start getting this revelation deep within your heart and your troubles start to disappear…DO NOT become boastful nor forget that it was GOD who provided you the authority in the first place. Always give thanks to the Lord for it is HE who is your provider.

Luke 10:20 – “Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

And that my friends is the ultimate GOOD NEWS! No matter what, we will see our Heavenly Father and Jesus for our very own eyes! This life is only temporary but we will live forever and ever. PRAISE THE LORD!

How Big Can You Dream?

Oct26

WildernessCan you see the beauty that surrounds you everyday? The stars. The mountains. The ever-changing clouds. The oceans and rivers. The plants and animals. Millions of species that we don’t even know the names of. It is absolutely breathtaking when you stop to think about it. But what about people? There are billions of people in this world and most of them go about their day, just hoping to get by. They settle for much less and hope for the rest.

Did you know that the Bible tells us that God knew and approved of you before you were even born? (Jeremiah 1:5) He had a specific plan created just for you. There is no one like you. There is no one with the special talents God gave you. No one has the same plan. You were magnificently designed by the Creator of the Universe. How AWESOME is that?

No matter where you come from. No matter who your parents are. No matter what neighborhood you live in. No matter where you went to school. No matter what you have encountered so far in your life…none of it determines your destiny.

God has the most incredible future in store for you.

  • If you need a job…God wants you to have an awesome job that you love, with benefits galore.
  • If you need a place to live, God doesn’t want just a roof over your head…He wants a fantastic, safe and peaceful home for you, that you can be proud of.
  • If your finances have dried up, God doesn’t just want you to get by…He wants you to have more than enough so you can be a blessing to others.
  • If you need healing, God doesn’t just want you to be healed in a specific area…He wants you completely whole and well!

That’s the incredible God we serve!

No matter what we can think or imagine…God wants us to have even more. No matter what we face…God already has the solution. God knows every hair on your head and you are more valuable to Him than you realize. There’s no need to be worried or afraid! (Luke 12:7)

God is Taking Care of You

His ways are higher than ours! His creativity surpasses anything we could think! His solutions are far beyond our imagination! Dream BIG and He dreams BIGGER! Ask for much and He gives more! That was, is, and forever will be our Heavenly Father!

Now go out and be everything that God wants you to be. It will be far greater than anything you can imagine because we serve an amazing God who created the entire universe! AND HE SAYS you are a talented, creative, gifted, loving person with a very special purpose that HE WILL MAKE HAPPEN!
