Be A Doubt Buster Today

Dec29

Breaking ChainesEver find yourself saying “I doubt that could happen” or “my circumstances will never change” or “it’s just the way it is”?

We all go through long periods in our lives when nothing seems to be going right. Whether you got a bad report from the doctor or you can’t pay your bills. Maybe your family is in strife or you can’t find a job. Maybe your body is being attacked.

Whatever you find yourself going through, it’s easy to think on the problem and complain about it constantly. Worse yet, if it’s been a long time with the same problem or many problems all at once, you can find yourself saying I guess I just need to get used to it and you accept defeat.

No! There are two ways to live our lives. One in the “doubting Thomas” mindset or one in the “all things are possible to those who believe” mindset. When we doubt, we are being double minded. God said he gave us the power to choose life or death; therefore choose life. (Deuteronomy 30:19-20) He also has made it quite clear that when we doubt, we are setting ourselves up for failure.

James 1:6-7: “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord.”

God makes it quite clear that if we doubt than we should not expect anything from Him. Basically when we doubt, we are telling God that our problems are larger than He is. How do you think that must make God feel when He created everything thing in the world, including us?

So you must be wondering, now what can I do? We must become more childlike where we stop analyzing everything to death. Every time a doubting thought comes into your mind, immediately replace it with God’s word!

  • When you have a thought that the pain will never go away…say “by His stripes I am healed!
  • When you think my circumstances will never change…say “I am more than a conqueror through Christ!”
  • When your finances dry up and you have no way to pay the bills…say “My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches and glory!”

Feed Your Faith

No matter what you see or feel, God knows every single piece of hair on your head. He counts your tears. There is absolutely nothing too hard for Him.

It may be taking longer than you would like and you are finding yourself frustrated; it’s okay…God completely understands. Ask Him for His forgiveness. AND FROM THIS DAY FORWARD…choose life and life more abundantly over every doubt, over every fear, over every pain. For God can not lie and all His promises will come to pass in your life if you will hold on tight and push the doubt away.

Let’s all become Doubt Busters today! You are not staying where you are right now…you have a tremendous life ahead of you and nothing, and I do mean nothing, can hold God’s promises back from being completed in your life! Stay in faith and know that everything will be alright!

VICTORY IS YOURS ~ JUST BELIEVE!

Break Free

Dec19

miracles4The hunger and anticipation you feel for something to change in your life should be taken very seriously. Many of us have been in a transitional period for quite some time. It doesn’t have anything to do with how long you’ve waited or what you may or may not be doing. Everything that has been coming against you, that has been holding you down has all been a setup for God’s Mighty Hand to break forth!

When we get to a place in life where we have no idea how to get out of a situation or you don’t have the funds you need to make a change…then we are primed for God’s Glory to shine through to make things happen.

He doesn’t want us settling where we are. He doesn’t want us struggling to get by. He doesn’t want the pain or sorrow to keep us depressed, broken and disgusted. No, Our God is an all-powerful, all-loving God who wants the very best for each and every one of us.

When we open our mouths to confess His words over our lives, something happens in the supernatural realm. The angels are charged to watch over you and miracles can burst forth for God’s Glory.

We serve an AWESOME GOD! He is still on the Throne and is ever increasing His supernatural towards us. The wealth of the riches is laid up for His children. You are a Child of the Most High God. Claim your healing. Claim your restoration. Claim your future.

miracles2

Don’t let your moment go by without claiming your victory. Don’t let the naysayers talk you out of your blessings and miracles. Stand firm and Command your situation to change. Command your healing and restoration to burst forth into you and your families lives. Prophesy to your life with God’s word. His word will not return void!

Be grateful for the things you’ve learned through the dry spell and for God’s hand that lead you through it. But now, it’s time for your complete healing and restoration. Claim God’s word and see it come to pass. He gave us the authority to claim what is true. If the Bible says you are healed, then you are healed! If the Bible says you are more than a conqueror, then you are. If the Bible says you will have more than enough to spare and share, then you will.

This is your moment. God is about to do something so amazing in His children’s lives that there is no question it is God’s miraculous and He will get all the Glory! We serve an amazing Heavenly Father! His children have been held down long enough and now it’s time for all of us to press through to the finish line!

miracles6Every single one of us is blessed to be called by God. He’s given us the opportunity of helping and praying over others. There is absolutely nothing that God wants more than each of us sharing His love towards others, teaching them who He is and how He truly makes a difference in every one’s lives. Don’t miss this amazing opportunity of speaking on God’s behalf. As your life begins to transition and become restored, make sure to use your amazing testimony to share with those around you. Your miracle represents the Power of God and reminds us that nothing is impossible to Him that will believe. Help those around you see the amazing God who lifted your burden, shifted your situation and restored all that was lost!

Look Up. Pray Up. Speak Up. Thank Up.

Your life is about to change in the most marvelous ways! We are coming into God’s creative miracles and your life is about to become all that you wish it to be! Whoo, Praise the Lord for He is so good!

4 Steps To Winning Your Battle

Dec14

surprise-fiery darts1 Peter 4:12-13 “12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; 13 but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation.”

James 1:2-8 “2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”

First things first. The very first word in Peter’s passage says “Beloved”. That means you are loved, accepted and forgiven right now in the midst of your trial, your difficulty, your sickness, your pain, your loss, and your lack. Nothing could be more rewarding than knowing you’re loved. Peter (who penned this passage) had denied Jesus 3 times. But even denying Jesus didn’t keep God’s love from Peter. Peter became a very influential, powerful, loving and healing man in the name of Jesus. People didn’t wait for Peter to pray over them or anoint them with oil…they only needed to get into Peter’s shadow and they were healed. That’s the power of God’s love. Being His “beloved” is more powerful than you can imagine. Embrace His love!

God doesn’t bring bad things into our lives. No, satan does. The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy. God doesn’t want anyone going through difficult times or even going to hell. It’s just the opposite. He died for you, he conquered death for you, he conquered the devil for you. He loves you unconditionally. However, He gives you a choice. He made the way, he made the train to heaven but you have to get on board. How would you feel if someone only loved you because you forced it upon them? How would you like it if they only loved you because of manipulation? Wouldn’t you prefer to have them love you because they simply love you? God is like that…he simply loves you no matter if you love him or not. He just loves you and he wants you to make the choice. He doesn’t want to make or force you to love him. He doesn’t want slaves. He wants us to freely love him just as we are freely able to go to heaven. He loves us so much that He gives us a choice. Now that’s genuine love.

When you are going through a difficult time, it’s easy to be confused, have a pity party, be negative, continuously complain or moan about your circumstance. But you’ll quickly realize that the only people who will want to hang out with you are the other complainers. It’s like the blind leading the blind. It’s a no win situation. You remain in a “victim” mentality. When you’re constantly saying how hard life is, you put the focus on your problems. Let’s change the mindset. Think of Jesus’ life. He chose to die for us. His sweat turned to blood because he had a difficult task ahead of Him. However, He loved us so much that He was willing to lay down His life for us. So the best thing we can do is realize that His love is more than enough to see us through.

Love 1Think of it this way…when you first fell in love with someone, you were intoxicated by that love. You wanted to be with this person all the time. You wanted to have fun and hang out as much as possible with them. The love made you high and nothing else seemed to matter. You still had bills to pay but they didn’t bother you. You would still want to be with this person every chance you had.

That’s the love God wants you to experience with him while you’re going through the trial. He doesn’t love you any less because of the trial. He didn’t take His blessings away. He didn’t want something bad to happen to you. It’s not a sign that God’s hand has been removed from your life. No…we have to turn it around that God loves us and he is in the middle of the storm with us. He will turn it all around for his purpose and for our good. He brings the turnaround from darkness to light, poverty to abundance, evil to good, sickness to healing ~ God is a God of turnaround. And most importantly…GOD HAS THE FINAL WORD in every situation and He will turn it around because He loves you too much.

Secondly, don’t be surprised when you experience fiery trials. Don’t be surprised when people lie about you, someone lets you down, sickness or addictions hit you, poverty strikes your household, or you find yourself in numerous battles and struggles all at once. Don’t be surprised when the devil tries to hit you or your family from every angle. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. He will do everything in his power to make you give up. The best way to take the devil’s power away from him is by not being surprised. God told us that we would have trials and tribulations in this world but take courage because He already overcame the world. The more you stand in faith, the more satan will attack. Steal the fiery darts sting by not being surprised when bad things happen in your life. Just know that you know somehow, someway God already has the answer.

God loves you too much and promises it will all turnaround for your good. Take away satan’s element of surprise and you will prevail. Don’t worry about where he came into your life because he would attack you no matter what. When something difficult comes upon you turn it around immediately. Say wow it’s about time you came, I’ve been waiting for you. I’m prepared for you. I will remain encouraged and be in good cheer. Tell satan thank you for coming against me because Jesus shows up in a mighty way when you attack me. Come quickly Jesus for I’m being attacked.

joyThirdly, count it all joy as soon as you see it coming, when it comes, while you’re going through it, and when you overcome it. Be happy and joyful in the midst of it all. Count it all joy. Worship and praise the Lord before, during and after. Be free in the midst of it.

God won’t be late and even if he is…God created time so he can change that too. You might think he needs to come right now because your bill needs to be paid or you’ll lose your home…but even if God is late in your mind and you lose your home, He can turn it around and give you something more amazing to replace it. He promises that you will not lack anything!

Rejoice when you can’t see a way or when you can’t figure it out. Rejoice in sickness, difficult, trials, hardships because when you remember that you’re not under fire, your faith is and Jesus already won; it shifts your mind to glorifying God and not your problems. When you can stand in the middle of your battle, believing in God and having faith that God will shift things around…satan is going to try to rob it from you because your faith glorifies God. Hold onto your faith. Don’t stop believing. Rejoice that God loves you, the answer is coming, and your faith will win.

Fourthly, James 1:5 mentions that if you lack wisdom, ask of God and he will supply it liberally. However, don’t look for the solutions first. We always look for solutions first, it’s our human nature. However, God’s ways are higher than ours! INSTEAD…we must first know we are loved, then we aren’t to be surprised by the trial, then we are to count it all joy and rejoice, then and only then ask for wisdom. Don’t let the situation move you. Instead move the opposite direction. Give more, praise more, rejoice more, spread the Gospel more, and love more. There is a fighter and champion in every single one of us. Fight the real battle of faith.

Once your heart is celebrating, rejoicing, and counting it all joy…then the answers will come. Joy in the Lord gives you strength. As soon as you are filled with joy, praise and worship; God can then fill your head with the right answers. If He doesn’t wait until you’re filled with joy…He knows that it’s too easy for us to doubt or become double-minded. See, when you make up your mind that no matter what you will stand on His word, you can easily detect incorrect thoughts. You can easily take them captive and reject anything that doesn’t line up with the Word of God. You will know that God will perform His word and promises. With the right mental stability, you will be able to stand on faith without wavering and you will receive it because you will be able to remain focused on how big God is and not how big the problem seems to be.

suddenly-Breakthrough

So as you find yourself facing difficult situations, difficult people or lack in any area of your life…remember God’s 4 Key turnaround formula:

  1. Know God loves you very much
  2. Don’t be surprised
  3. Count it all joy and Rejoice
  4. Ask for wisdom

I pray that you will embrace His truth and see your breakthrough suddenly! Your best days are just ahead! Don’t give up ~ Praise Up!

You Are More Than A Conqueror

Dec13

Jesus shed His blood in seven different places to break every curse and redeem us to every blessing His blood activates. It is a time to remember exactly what Jesus did for each and every one of us. He paid the ultimate sacrifice. He broke every curse. He broke every addiction. He gave us dominion and authority.

  1. In the Garden of Gesthemane: He bought back our willpower and to redeem our will. (Matthew 26:39)
  2. At the Whipping Post: By His stripes we are healed. Every curse of sickness and disease was broken. (1Peter 2:24)
  3. Crown of Thorns: To break the curse of poverty. (Genesis 3:17-18)
  4. In His hands: To restore dominion to the works of our hands. (Deut. 28:12-13)
  5. In His feet: To give us authority everywhere we walk. (Joshua 1:3)
  6. In His side: His was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities and heals our broken hearts. (Luke 4:18)
  7. He stomped on the devil’s forehead and bruised His heel to break every family and generational curse. (Isaiah 53:5)

Take back your God-given blessings that Jesus gave us. When He said “IT IS FINISHED”, he didn’t mean it would be a hit or miss, pie-in-the-sky kind of faith. He returned us to the Father who is there for us every single moment of every day. He gave us everything we needed to make it through any trial, any difficulty, and any situation that comes against us that is contrary to the Word of God!

Take your stand against the enemy. You are more than conqueror through the Blood of Jesus. You are the head and not the tail, above and not below, you are the lender not the borrower. Take back what the devil has stolen and remind him that Jesus’ blood gives you complete victory.

Don’t let another day go by without thanking Jesus for His sacrifice and for the heavenly blessings He has bestowed towards you. Return unto Him and he’ll return unto you. Give and it shall be given to you. Know the seven places Jesus shed His blood and understand why God’s Word is Final! It is because of Jesus that you will have favor with Him and with man. Praise His Name above all others and watch the amazing blessings burst forth into your life.

Today is a new day. Activate the 7 places Jesus shed His blood and He will bring favor upon you. Let God stand in front of you and your family to make every curse pass over your home, business, health, family, and finances. Almighty God will open the windows of Heaven over you and your family which will release the blessings that Jesus’ blood provides. You are more than a conqueror through the Blood of Jesus Christ and today, your life will never be the same. Rejoice for the Lord is good – Your Victory Is At Hand!
