Expect The Best

Jan31

positive1James 1:6: “But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.”

During a recent conversation, someone mentioned the old classic saying “expect the worst and hope for the best”. Do you ever find yourself thinking that way too?

Now I completely understand why people like to use this phrase because it helps them make sure they have numerous plans if something starts faltering in unexpected ways. But I still really dislike the statement because I feel it goes against everything us Christians stand for and really places us out of God’s alignment. Here’s why…

When you’re planning for the worse to happen, it places you in a very difficult situation. Planning contingencies is going to make your faith waver because you have already put it in your mind that something is going to go wrong. Expectation is a form of your faith. So by placing the thought that something is going to go haywire or terribly wrong, then that is exactly what’s going to happen and you’ll put more time and effort into making backup plans than holding on to God’s word that everything will work out by His love and grace.

Fear and doubt will always creep in when you are believing for something amazing to happen in your life. You will have to choose if you will allow the fear and doubt to mull through your mind or to believe that God wants the best for you and He will make it happen.

There’s never a day that goes by when some fleck of doubt won’t try to bombard your thoughts. There’s never a day that goes by when fear won’t try to take hold. Don’t let it toss you like a wave of the sea. Instead, rebuke the fear and doubt and put it in it’s rightful place…in Jesus’ hands. That’s why we are told that no weapon formed against us will prosper. (Isaiah 54:17)

Don’t let the enemy get the best of you. Keep standing on God’s word. Keep holding onto your faith. For when you do, God’s supernatural will touch your natural and only good things will happen for you and your family. Don’t let another day go by before you learn to hold to the truth and let it set you free! God is always ready, willing, and able. Let Him be your source and know that everything will be alright!

Romans 15:13: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

It’s Blooming Time

Jan24

How long has your dry season been?wilted-flower

  • A month?
  • A year?
  • 10 years?
  • 25 years?
  • 50 years?

You’ve tried hard to make things happen only to find yourself trying even harder because nothing is changing and you seem stuck in the rut.

“As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eate, so is my word that goes out from my mouth, it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it You will go out in joy and be lead forth in peace: the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.” (Isaiah 55:10-12)

Well my friends, 2017 is going to be an amazing year for you. You’ve done all that you could. You’ve tried everything you could try. You’ve prayed asking for help. You’ve held onto your faith when others gave up. Nothing you’ve done has gone unnoticed. God saw you holding on. God saw you praying through your tears. God saw you give your last dollar to someone in even harder times than you.

It’s your faith that kept you in the “water zone” and it’s time for the power of God to move swiftly into your life. All the words and prayers you’ve said have been spoken and they will not return void. The skies are heavy with God’s blessings and it’s about to be poured into your life like never before.

“Flowers appear on earth, the season of singing has come.” (Solomon 11:3)

You’ve remained rooted to your source. You’ve continued to nourish your soul and your rewards are going to be beyond your wildest imagination. It’s time for you to visualize far greater than you’ve dared before. It’s time for you to get ready for your blooming has arrived. That business you wanted to start, it’s time. That promotion you wanted, it’s time. That mission trip you wanted to take, it’s time. Whatever God has laid on your heart is about to come into a full bloom. Look up, pray up and thank up. God is about to do something so unexpected in your life that there is one and only one answer for the blessing. God!!!

Let His purpose and truth come alive within you. It’s revival and restoration time! Get ready…your life is about to change in the most unexpected and suddenly kind of way; and it will be far greater than you ever expected!blooming-flowers-live-life4

Jolt Yourself

Dec23

big-teeth-smiley-emoticonWhen things aren’t going your way, then kindly (and gently) slap yourself to wake up and get your attitude back. Say what?!?!?!?!?

Well, I bet I got your attention didn’t I. LOL

Okay, Okay…all kidding aside. What I really mean is sometimes we just need to WAKE UP and JOLT OURSELVES out of the day to day slumber, the stagnation, the chaos and really start prophesying to our lives.

It’s time for new beginnings. You’ve gone through enough and the past is just that…the past! It’s time to get up, brush off and take back what’s been stolen! How do you do that, you might be asking? Great question!

wakeup3_speak-life

Place yourself in front of a mirror and declare God’s word over your life. Say or yell (if you feel the need)…

  • I’m Going To Live and Not Die.
  • I’m going to share the good works of the Lord.
  • Today I choose Life and Life more abundantly.
  • It’s He who lives in me, is greater than he who is in this world.
  • I will have peace that surpasses all understanding.
  • I have more than enough to spare and share.
  • Today is my day for my turnaround.
  • Today is my day for complete restoration and healing.
  • Today I give my illnesses and addictions an eviction notice as they are trespassing on God’s territory.
  • Today, God is healing my broken heart and replacing sadness with unspeakable joy.
  • God is the Author and Finisher in my life. Whatever He started, He will accomplish through me.
  • I’m more than a conqueror.
  • For me and my house will serve the Lord. All of those lost shall come back to Him.
  • I’m blessed in the city and blessed in the field. God’s favor is exploding in my life.

It’s too easy to get placated in our lives and just continue going with the flow; becoming stagnant along the way. It’s time to jolt ourselves out of the “norm”. You are created for so much more! You are to be the light of the world! And the more you speak to your circumstances with God’s word, the more you’ll find situations turning around in your favor.

The question is…what do you want your 2017 to look like? Do you want to keep going around the same mulberry bush and keep getting the same results…OR…would you rather let God be God and shower you with His amazing grace? Ask yourself…if not today, when? If not you, who? If God is going to bless someone, why not let it be you?

Why don’t you start out 2017 doing things GOD’S WAY and let this year be the greatest year you’ve ever experienced. Talk yourself silly with God’s word. One small touch from God is all it takes! Will you dare to believe that Today is the beginning of your miraculous turnaround?

Break Free

Dec14

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!
