Things Will Change

May30

Many times in life, we feel like we are going nowhere. We’re at a standstill and nothing seems to be happening.  Unsure of any direction and simply put, hope begins to fade.  In times like this, we need to be reminded that the barrenness we feel is only temporary and God’s answers will break through.

We are reminded of this very thing, in Genesis.  God promised Abraham that he would be the father of many nations. Yet, Abraham did not know the “when”, he just knew that God made him a promise.

Now, during the course of Abraham’s story, you begin to realize that a lot of time passed by with nothing happening. You could easily say that Abraham found himself on a long, rocky road of barrenness. He had no clue of the “how” and “when” this promise was supposed to happen. In fact, so many years went by, we see Abraham and Sarah deciding to take matters into their own hands. Unfortunately, we also see that unnecessary strife was the outcome of their decision. However, even though they made a mistake, God still came through for them. The most amazing part was that Abraham and Sarah were far beyond child-rearing days and yet, Sarah gave birth to a child. Just like God said it would happen.

See, it doesn’t matter how long or how rocky our barrenness is. What matters is God has given us THOUSANDS of promises throughout scripture. He knows exactly what we are going through and how to resolve the issues we face. God knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10) and certainly doesn’t need our help along the way. He knows the answer and the perfect timing to make it all happen.

So, when you find yourself on that long rocky road, praying, waiting, and crying out for something to happen; remind yourself of God’s promises. Because even if you lose hope, hope remains. Even if you feel like you are losing faith, a mustard seed of faith will do. (Matthew 17:20)

I don’t know about you but I love surprises.  And, GOD IS FULL OF SURPRISES! In His perfect timing, He will transform your barrenness into something absolutely amazing!

So, HOLD ON! God loves you way too much to leave you where you are. Everyday is a new day and something AWESOME could happen to you in a blink of an eye!

Release and Accept

May16

Let Go (2014_03_10 01_21_18 UTC)Life has a funny way of constantly reminding you of the things you’ve done wrong. You can be in the middle of a fantastic day, when out of nowhere, a reminder of your past comes along. As soon as it pops into your head, you have a choice to make. You can either mull it over and relive it, or you can ask for God’s forgiveness and release it to Him.

No matter who you are, where you came from, or what you’ve done…IT DOES NOT DEFINE YOU NOW! Your past is just that…your past. When you repented and accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, your past no longer exists and He sees your sins no more. (Hebrews 10:17) You don’t have to live in shame, guilt, anger, or regret. Thanks to Jesus’s finished work, you are a new creature in Christ and only the best days are ahead of you.

So the next time a little reminder comes along, stop it in its path. Release whatever it is to God and let Jesus’ rest come upon you. He will never leave you, nor forsake you. Let Him fill you with unspeakable peace that only He can provide. Accept His loving mercy and kindness today.

REPEAT AFTER ME:

Lord Jesus, thank you for loving me so much. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and making me a new creature. Today, I release all of my past hurts, anger, guilt, shame, and pain. Fill me with your amazing peace as I begin to step forward into the incredible life you have for me. Today, I will walk boldly and confidently knowing that my past is forgiven. Thank you for your mercy and kindness. In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray. Amen.

Now…THANK GOD FOR HIS GOODNESS AND GO HAVE A TREMENDOUS DAY!

Be Thankful (2014_03_10 01_21_18 UTC)

Claim God’s Promises

May9

God Always Has Something For YouIt is so easy for us to get caught up in the daily grind. Feeling like there isn’t enough time to get things done. Wondering if things are ever going to change. Knowing deep within that there has to be an easier way. Well, I’ve got GREAT NEWS for you today!

There is an easier way. It’s not what we can do, it’s what Jesus has already done. We just need to understand what that means for us and start claiming it into our lives.

When Jesus paid the price for us, He defeated everything there was that could come against us. But not only that, He opened the door for God’s amazing grace to be available for all those who believe.

Remember why Jesus came in the first place. So that we may have life, and have it to the full, overflowing, and have it more abundantly. (John 10:10)

It doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve done. What matters is that Jesus already paid the price. Every written promise in the Bible is available to each one of us. How can I say that? God tells us that the blessings are on the head of the righteous. (Proverbs 10:6) Those who believe in Jesus are the righteous. Because of Him, we are.

When God wanted something done, He spoke it into existence. Isaiah 55:11 – So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.

Every single day, we should be claiming His promises over our lives. Whether it’s fear, pain, lack, depression, finances, or any other area of life, Jesus already provided us the way. All we need to do is find the promises in the Bible that directly relates to our situation and start claiming them.

  • When you feel exhausted and you can’t go on…claim Philippians 4:13 – I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.
  • When you feel all alone and no one cares…claim Deuteronomy 31:6 – Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
  • When you feel sick…claim Isaiah 53:5 – …By His stripes we are healed.
  • When your finances have run dry and you see no way out…claim Philippians 4:19 – But my God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.

God will provide

According to Biblical scholars, there are over 30,000 promises in the Bible. Do you think God cares about you? Every single written promise is available to you today, and everyday. You’re a child of the Most High God. Start claiming His word today and see His mighty, powerful hand come upon you in ways you could never imagine.

Today is your new beginning!

Act like it…Speak like it…Live like it!

For all things are possible for those who believe.

Protected At All Times

May4

God will make a wayWith so many threats of evilness surrounding us today, it is very easy to get caught up in the “what ifs” of fear.  Just flipping through television channels or the internet can scare the wits out of you. Nothing but panic can settle in your mind when you see reports of bombings, out of control fires raging, school shootings, mudslides, and all of the unrest throughout the world. It’s no wonder why people are sick from the stress, pain, and fear of it all.

But, did you know that the greatest army defends and protects you constantly?  When you accepted Jesus, angels from Heaven began to watch over you.  You were given an entire legion of protection.

Psalm 91:11: For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

Luke 22:43: And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

God has given His angels charge over you. Every time you speak words of faith, God hears and the angels are released to move on your behalf. Throughout the Bible, we are told about angels providing guidance, strengthening, encouraging, answering prayers, and caring for those who believe.

That’s why it’s so important to speak encouraging words about your own situation. You either open the door for God and His angels to help or you open the door for the enemy. That’s why we are told that the power of life and death are in the tongue. It is imperative that no matter what you face, speak God’s word and His promises over the situation. It truly doesn’t matter what you see or feel…what matters is God’s word that will move mountains on your behalf.

Legions of Angels

Don’t miss another moment to see things through God’s eyes. Every time you find yourself in a difficult situation, find scripture that directly reflects towards the issue you are facing. Speak it over and over into your life. God will see that an angel is dispatched on your behalf.

You are always protected. Listen to the small voice within and never forget that you might entertain a stranger that just might be an angel that was sent from Heaven. (Hebrews 13:2)
