Don’t Give Up

Apr27

Every where you turn, things are being shaken. The world is changing so fast that most people are unable to keep up with the demands, technology, and family dynamics. Heads spinning while trying to figure out which way to go, why things aren’t happening the way they want, and when in the world are things going to change.

All of us, who have been called, find ourselves struggling. Nothing seems to go right. Nothing seems to be happening. You take one step forward and ten steps back. But, I’m here to shout with you…HOLD ON!

All of us have been in the small beginnings stage; learning for the journey that lies ahead. God has placed a purpose and dream into your heart. You’ve stepped out in faith, trusting in His guidance. But, for some reason, it doesn’t appear to be working out.

What we need to realize is that every step taken is a setup, not a setback. When we listen to God’s guidance and step forward, He is watching over every aspect of the purpose and will make sure it comes to pass. No matter what we see or feel, God is the Author and Finisher of our destinies. (Philippians 1:6) He is in charge of the how, why, who and when.

People around you might be mocking. Friends and family members can be pushing you to go in a different direction. People might be leaving your life. However, if God has called you for a specific task…HOLD ON and DON’T LET GO!

Keep believing!
Keep trusting!
Keep pushing through the barriers!

For if you do, God promises that you will not be ashamed, humiliated, or disgraced (Isaiah 54:4).

You just might be one step, one encounter, or one moment away from your dreams coming true. For when God’s perfect timing comes upon you and all the pieces of the puzzle come together, it will be more AMAZING than you ever expected! Job 8:7 says it this way…“And though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very great.” So, whatever you do…HOLD ON! Your best days are just ahead!

IT REALLY IS THIS SIMPLE

Apr11

Oh, how we all work so hard. Life has a way of throwing us so many curve balls and usually it’s all at once. It tends to make us stressed, confused, and concerned; not knowing which way to go first.

But today, I’m asking you to stop for a moment and take a breather.

If our Loving Father can create Earth and everything that goes along with it, in 6 days, why do we think that all the problems we face are too hard for Him? We have the tendency to think we are all alone. We all strive to work hard and then when things come against us, we work even harder. Most of us find our days getting longer and longer. Feeling like there’s just not enough time to get everything done.

What we all need to do is realize that we are not alone. God is waiting for us to give it all to him. He knows every single thing that is going on in our lives. He knows how stressed we are. He knows what will bring us happiness. He knows what plan He has for each of us. He knows how to complete everything on our “to do” lists. He knows everything there is to know. He is simply waiting for us to surrender it all to Him. Not just a small piece of it or just the huge problems. He wants us to surrender everything to Him; things as small as pimples to the over-the-top, overwhelming issues that have us bogged down.

Jesus died on the cross to give us the peace, love, joy, wisdom, understanding, miracles, and everything else Heaven has to offer. God gave us His absolute best. JESUS! And through Jesus…everything we need, everything we seek, and all the knowledge and wisdom, comes from our Heavenly Father.

So no matter what you are facing today, God has the answer. All you need to do is ask. Ask Him to take the pressures from you. Ask Him to release His peace. Ask Him to guide you to His answers. Ask Him for the healing you need. Ask Him to help you get everything accomplished. Let it all go this instant and rest at Jesus’ feet.

As a child of the Most High God…He promises you that He’ll take care of all your needs. He promises that He’ll never leave nor forsake you. He promises to guide you. God can not lie! So, quit trying to do it all on your own. Release it to Him and let God be God in your life.

IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE! Quit trying…AND JUST REST!

Calling for Prayer

Apr9

Again today, we see yet another misguided individual hurt fellow students in Pennsylvania. I ask that you pray for those injured, their families, the responders, and for all those affected by this horrible situation. Please also pray that our society seeks our Lord and Savior. As we see horrible situations take place across the world, it is now more than ever, that we need God’s amazing hands placed upon us.

Thank you for your time and prayers for all those affected. May God comfort you, heal you, and provide for all your needs.

God Bless each and everyone of you!

Never Too Late

Apr5

If you’re like most, we tend to wait until we are in the deepest, darkest pits of our lives before we cry out to God. It’s in these moments that we have exhausted all our efforts and don’t see a way out. Whether it’s years of pain and suffering that has brought us to this place or an unforeseen tragedy; we all go through difficulties within our lives that can take the very breathe from us; leaving us feeling desperate and alone.

It is in times like these that we need to reassess our lives. We may not understand why things happen or what we could have possibly done to deserve the terrible experience, but we all seek the answers that are not always readily available. We all face an unseen adversary. It’s not that we deserve anything bad to happen nor have we’ve done anything to deserve it; it is simply the adversary trying to keep you in a deep, dark pit and overwhelmed. The adversary wants to keep you exactly where you are, feeling low and in despair.

When we find ourselves in these moments, the absolute best thing we could do is cry out to God for help. He wants to heal our pain and suffering. He wants to prosper us. He wants to restore the time lost. He wants to restore failed relationships. He wants to restore all the lost opportunities.

God is an all-seeing, all-knowing Father who has the answer to all of our problems. Don’t waste another moment by allowing the adversary to keep you down and out. Speak up and let your voice be heard by the one and only Creator, who wants to heal you completely; physically, mentally, spiritually, financially, and make you whole while filling you with such incredible peace in the midst of your storm. So, don’t waste another moment. Cry out to God for your healing and restoration. It’s never too late because He’s waiting to hear from you, His beloved child. Cry out and watch His amazing, incredible, and miraculous solutions come upon you. For you are never alone, He promises to always be there.
