Feelin’ Squeezed

Sep6

Sour Lemon FaceIs life throwing you lots of lemons right now? Does it feel like the weight of the world is upon your shoulders? Do you feel squeezed from every direction?

Job, David, Apostle Paul…they all went through a lot of squeezing in life. Between losing everything they owned, losing family, friends turning their backs on them and being put in jail. It didn’t look like there was any way out of the mess. They couldn’t break the chains of bondage. They didn’t deserve what happened. They had no clue they would have to go through so much pain and sorrow. The only thing they could do was stand on their faith, believing God had a plan that they couldn’t see.

BUT THEN…God moved in their lives, restoring what was lost, giving them health and the strength to go on. God has a way when you don’t see one. Stand up and dig in church! You might be squeezed from every angle of life. You might be crushed and heartbroken. But our heavenly father collects all those tears. He will help you every step of the way even when you feel all alone and no movement of God.

  • Psalm 30:2 “O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.”
  • Psalm 34:2 “I will boast only in the LORD; let all who are helpless take heart.”
  • Psalm 34:4 “I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.”
  • Psalm 107:4-6 “They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region; They did not find a way to an inhabited city. They were hungry and thirsty; Their soul fainted within them. Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses.”
  • Psalm 118:5 “Out of my distress I called on the LORD; the LORD answered me and set me free.”

Dig your heels in and keep standing in faith. Your God is bigger, stronger, lovelier, and is unlimited in ways we simply don’t understand. Today I ask you all, let God help you turn those sour lemons into your very own sweet-tasting lemonade. He won’t let you down nor will He forget your struggles while standing in faith. One small faith a size of a mustard seed is all it takes.Tasty Lemonade

He promises to take all your hurt, pain, sickness, disease, poverty, failed opportunities and relationships AND TURN THEM AROUND into your favor! Get ready to have an amazing testimony for when He squeezes so tight and everything falls apart, you can bet that He has something so amazing in store for you!

So today, let that squeeze come upon you. Rejoice in the midst of your pain and sorrow. For God is up to something in your life and your best days are just ahead! Stand firm and know that God can make the most heavenly lemonade there is! Dig in church! Dig in for that sweet taste of victory that’s coming your way today!

The “I CAN’T” Syndrome

Aug30

Everyday people are tormenting themselves by thinking:

I Can’t change
I Can’t believe
I Can’t get over this sickness
I Can’t go on
I Can’t forgive
I Can’t pay my bills
I Can’t get a job and so on.

What we must realize is that this mentality and attitude sets us up to fail, to quit, and to live a negative, defeated life.  It is a very poisonous mindset that we must overcome in order to see victory within our lives.

The Bible has so many wonderful scriptures that deal with this mindset.  When you start thinking “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13) or “Oh Lord my God, I cried to You and You healed me.” (Psalm 30:2); you will begin to notice changes in your life.

The most important thing we can do, is stand firm in His word and have faith that he will change our circumstances.  For in Ephesians 3:20 it says “He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all we can ask or think“, so why in the world would we allow the dreaded “I Can’t” Syndrome rule in our lives.  “I Can’t” shouldn’t be in our vocabulary.

We serve a BIG GOD and he wants us to have more than enough to spare and share.  Why do you think one of God’s names in the Bible is El Shaddai?  It means more than enough!  I don’t think that would be coincidental, do you?

The best thing we can do to over come this negative mindset is set our eyes above.  “For my God shall supply ALL your needs according to His riches.” (Philippians 4:19)  There is absolutely no question that God has you covered, no matter what the circumstance looks like.  We are VICTORIOUS and CONQUERORS through Christ!

So, Stand Up and Shake It Off

SAY…I CAN!  Watch Me!

And Action

Jun7

did-you-knowDid you know that faith and healing remain mysteries to most believers? They read their Bible, they press through fears and trials, they push through when most would have given up…but believers need to know the deep meaning of faith and act upon it no matter what is happening around them.

Most miss the “ACTION” part of faith. Sure it’s great to say you have faith, it’s wonderful to think everything is going to be alright…but what happens when you’re missing the most important part of the equation? Most often than not, nothing happens or things get worse; leaving you perplexed about what you aren’t doing right or what are you missing.

Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

First and foremost, we cannot please God without Faith! For us to receive anything from the Kingdom, including salvation, we need faith. The best part of it is…faith is believing in Jesus and what He did upon the cross for each and every one of us.

Okay, so that part is easy. Most of us can claim Jesus is in our hearts and we believe who He is. So we check the box that says we have faith.

But what are you doing with that faith? How are you using it?hope-quotes

Faith is not a mental checkbox. It is an action based on the fact that Jesus “FINISHED IT” on the cross. When you know that you know Jesus did everything already, then you start walking in that faith and acting that everything you need has already been accomplished. It means that you walk in your healing before you ever see it. You walk through situations knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt, you already have what you need before you see it!

Jesus paid a very high price for us to experience divine health and wholeness. He never intended any of us to lack, stress, or worry.

God is a rewarder to all of those who seek Him. He wants you walking in peace, love, joy, happiness, healing, and much more. Everything Jesus did in the Bible shows us that he went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.

Spend your day walking in His truth. Know that you know everything is going to be alright. Put your faith into action and walk into your new normal filled with healing, restoration, goodness, and more than enough.

Today is your day to discover God’s normal! Today is your day to walk into your victory. You may not see it yet, you may not feel healed, your checkbook might be laughing at you…but today is your new day to experience God’s healing power in every area of your life. IT IS FINISHED! Now walk in that truth and see your situations turn upside down into your favor!

Break Free

Apr21

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!
