Giving Thanks

Nov25

This year has been full of devastation, high crimes, political upheavals, and economic chaos. Many people are reeling from the uncertainly and the unknown.

With all of the terrible situations we’ve seen, whether on the news or experienced within our own lives; I would like to ask everyone to take a moment and find something to be grateful to God for. No matter what you’re experiencing, God is still in control. We may not understand all the “Whys” or “How Comes”, but we can still hold onto the hope that it will turn out for our good. (Romans 8:28)

God has the answers and His ways are far beyond ours. We should all be thankful that He will provide, heal, restore, strengthen, and guide our steps; because His word says so.

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. Make a commitment today to serve the Lord and continuously be thankful in all things.  He promises not to let you down.

Restoration is Coming

Nov4

Something new bornWhat have you lost during the course of your life?  Maybe you lost your job, business, home, car, finances or maybe you lost your health, family members, friends, relationships or even dreams.  And, you might even have the mindset that it will never get better.  Well… SHAKE IT OFF because I have great news for you today!

GOD IS A GOD OF RESTORATION!

When we hold onto the restoration mentality, we allow God to restore all things that were lost in the past.  See, God wants the absolute best for every one of us and He knows exactly how to accomplish it. The best part about it is that you come out stronger, wiser, promoted, healthier and better off than ever before.

God is merciful!  He knows what we have endured, what has been lost and He also knows what dreams He has for us and how to bring them to pass.  All we need to do is have the mindset that God is all powerful, all knowing and all loving.  We need to hold onto the hope and faith; knowing that when God is in charge, all things will work out for our good.

It truly doesn’t matter what we can see in the natural. (Hebrews 11:1)  It doesn’t matter what your bank account looks like or the economy.  It simply doesn’t matter.

When God is in charge…all things are possible!  (Luke 1:37)

Wake up every morning and thank God for His restoration.  Thank Him for restoring the lost years, opportunities, relationships, finances, love, promotions, health, dreams, sound mind, passions, strength, joy, peace, and everything else in between.

There are absolutely no limitations of what God can do.  Trust and believe!  Have faith God opens doors 2that God loves you so much that He will restore all things that were lost.  He is and forever will be, our Great Restorer.

Today, I believe and declare that God is breaking all strongholds and everything is being restored that belongs to each of you. Today is a New Day!  Believe in the unseen…build your Faith….Rise Up for God’s Favor is upon you!

Your future will be much greater than your past!  Praise God that your restoration is coming!

Faith of a Mustard Seed

Oct31

In today’s society, most people need to see things in order to believe in them.  But for those of us who follow Christ, we are told to believe in things unseen.  The Bible explains this point very well.  In Hebrews 11:1 “NOW FAITH is the assurance of things hoped for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality.”    So the bottom-line here is that we must have faith and trust in what we can not see; therefore, making it a reality within our lives; BELIEVING IN OUR BIG GOD and HIS PROMISES!

From my own personal experience, I can say that when I started thinking and saying things that didn’t exist in my life yet, I felt like a hypocrite.  If I was feeling sick, I would think and say…”By His Stripes I am healed“ (Isaiah 53:5).  Or maybe my funds were low and I would think and say, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not lack.” (Psalm 23:1)  When you begin practicing this simple tool, it does feel awkward or out of the norm.  But the truth is…this should be our NORM!

Even if you have faith of a mustard seed (Luke 17:6), God will begin transforming your dreams into reality. The more you focus on Him while being grateful for His promises, the more you will see His beautiful provisions in your life.  His blessings are all around us, every moment of every day.  Make it a point to be grateful for all the small things in your life because He will see your gratefulness and trust you with so much more.  The best thing we can do is keep our faith aligned with His word. DO NOT LOOK at your current circumstances.  LOOK AT GOD and HIS PROMISES!

Always remember that no matter how bad things might be in your life right now; be grateful and have faith in HIM because there is always light at the end of the tunnel. OUR GOD LOVES TO GIVE! Philippians 4:19 tells us that “my God shall supply all your needs”. So, have FAITH that everything will turn out for your good because HE knows what is best for you, now and forever!

Jehovah Jireh ~ Lord My Provider

Oct24

battle_fight_cartoonHave you been brought to your knees with nowhere to go? Have you found yourself fighting a battle that seems to only intensify? Are you drowning in debt with no relief in sight? Have you lost loved ones unexpectedly? Have things in your life continued to spiral downward and you find yourself at the bottom of a pit?

What are you battling today? What is missing in your life? What illness, loss, addiction are you fighting? What has a hold on you?

Satan came to steal, kill and destroy us. He will do everything in his power to stop God’s plan for your life. Whether he steals your job, home, car, relationships or destroys those around us with sickness, addictions and disease. He has one purpose and one purpose only…and that is to sway you away from your faith by constantly bombarding your life with difficulties and tragedies; making you wonder where God is or why God would allow such things to happen.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say only good things happen to those who love the Lord. It actually says just the opposite…

…Luke 6:21 “Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. 22“Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man. 23 “Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven.”

Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly. (John 10:10) He wants the absolutely best for you and your loved ones. Jesus took our sinful place on the cross so that believing in Him, we are made righteous and right-standing with our Heavenly Father. We don’t have to earn His love…He already loves us. We don’t have to change…He’ll change us. We won’t lose our salvation…Jesus is our salvation.

Satan is a liar and today, we are standing in faith that Jesus is Lord of Lords and Kings of Kings. He is our Jehovah Jireh. God’s eternal grace, continual provision and all-encompassing wisdom is available to all those who believe. Jehovah-Jireh is not “The LORD Did Provide,” but “The LORD Will Provide.” His name doesn’t simply indicate that He provided once and won’t do it again. No…it anticipates a future action, a constant help. God is, was, and will always be the same. He doesn’t change.

When satan’s fiery darts are constantly shaking your world, it is so important that you do not weaken in your faith. Our God is our provider and is more than capable to provide, satisfy, and help you overcome. You might not see a way but our God has a way. Don’t let your faith waver or unbelief creep in. Stand boldly at the feet of Jesus. Give Him your worries and doubts. Let Him know that through it all, you will praise His name above all else. It doesn’t matter what we see, what matters is who lives within us. He is far greater than anything that comes against you.

So today, let’s stand in faith together. Whatever your need is today, ask God for it in prayer and then believe that you receive it. (Romans 4:18-21) It doesn’t matter if your circumstances don’t fit what you’re asking for. God is not limited by our circumstances. He created the whole universe and has unlimited power. He wants us to ask, believe and know without a shadow of any doubt, He can provide you with unlimited resources. It’s not for us to show off but it’s for His glory!

Think of it this way…

  • Is your vehicle broken and run down? Ask God for a debt-free vehicle and then say out loud…Thank you Lord for providing my awesome new vehicle. I believe that I receive a debt-free vehicle that is top of the line in the name of Jesus.  You are the all powerful, almighty, all loving God and I praise your name.
  • Do you need a home to call your own or something larger to fit your family’s needs? Ask God for the perfect debt-free home and then say out loud…Thank you Lord for providing my family’s incredible home. I believe that I receive a debt-free home right now in the name of Jesus. You are the all powerful, almighty, all loving God and I praise your name.
  • Do you or someone you love need healing? One small touch from God is all it takes. Ask God for His swift healing and then say out loud…Thank you Lord for providing my healing. By Jesus stripes we are now healed. I believe that I receive your healing, in the name of Jesus. You are the all powerful, almighty, all loving God and I praise your name.

Whatever you need, God can provide. The key is to stand in faith and keep believing until everything is manifested and restored in your life. Don’t let satan steal your joy anymore. Stand strong and keep the faith for your Jehovah Jireh can and will provide. It’s not about being able to boast about your new job, car or home…it’s about receiving an incredible testimony about what God did for you to share with others. Because you will know that you know it was your Heavenly Father that provided and there was absolutely nothing you could have done to make it happen. It will defy all human logic.

God gives you breath and grace that is sufficient every single day. Why wouldn’t He give you your heart’s desires in order to Praise His Name? (Psalm 37:4) He is and will forever be…all you need! Don’t let fear and doubt stop you anymore. Take the limits off God and see His mighty hand swiftly come upon you.

Speak up ~ Thank up ~ And Get Ready To Share Your Testimony!
