God’s Blessings

May10

Isn’t it amazing how quickly we can forget the incredible blessings that that God has given us? Once we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, we tend to struggle very heavily in our minds. Being bombarded by negative thoughts and doubts; leading us into stress and worry. We think it sounds great in the Bible yet we doubt that it could happen in our lives today. However, God is not a respecter of persons. (Acts 10:34)

Every single day, we need to remind ourselves that if God said it…then, it will be done. There are no “if’s or but’s” about it. No matter what we are facing, God gave us the answer. All we need to do is begin believing that whatever He did in the Bible, He can and will do for us in our lives today!

Let’s take a closer look at what God has to say…

God's Benefits

So, when you are feeling down and nothing seems to go right…REMEMBER, His precious gifts! What do you need today?

  • You need healing, it’s yours.
  • You need Divine protection, it’s yours.
  • You need favor, it’s yours.
  • You need a miracle, it’s yours.
  • You need forgiveness, it’s yours.

God loves us more than we could ever imagine and He wants us to live a REWARDING and SUCCESSFUL life.

Simply ASK – TRUST – and BELIEVE! For anything you need, God will provide! Now, it may not happen when you want it to or in the way you would like. However, God will provide in His perfect timing! Keep believing and it will be done. We serve a very BIG GOD and He will not disappoint you!

God of Hope

May3

Calm the StormAround the world, believers are facing some of the most difficult times they have ever encountered. They are struggling through adversity from every angle. Physically, financially, spiritually, mentally and emotionally shaken to their very core. It has been the worst of times for most. Yet through it all, they have reasons to dig their heels in and hold on for dear life; knowing that the stormy seas can’t last forever.

The devil knows that his time is almost up. He is doing everything in his power to make you give up. He wants to make sure that you don’t make it to the other side. He doesn’t want you to see your victory, your healing or your prosperity. He knows that if he can make you change your course, then he can put some distance between you and your God-given future. But, the devil is a liar! (John 8:44)

don't give up1God has seen you holding on for dear life. He has seen the storms raging against you. He has seen every tear shed and heard every word you’ve spoken. He knows that you are at the end of your rope. Yet, God also knows that through all of your pain and suffering, there is light at the end of the tunnel. The devil has had his time and the bell is ringing to its end. God is about to reverse the curse in your life and make such an impact; that every single one of your enemies will flee.

There is an old saying, “don’t get your hopes up”. Well, that too is a lie.

Our God is the God of hope. He wishes to fill you with such joy and peace that the Holy Spirit will be overflowing with hope. (Romans 15:13) But God doesn’t stop there. He says “your hope will never leave you ashamed.” (Romans 5:5)

So, expect the unexpected. Expect God’s promises to come to pass in your life today. Hope beyond fear. Fill your mind with God’s goodness and love. For when God’s mighty hand comes upon your life, you will be standing tall. Your testimony will be so great, people will want to know what has happened. They will want to know how your life suddenly changed.

Keep embracing HOPE. Keep dreaming BIG dreams.

You are about to encounter God’s goodness like never before!

Your “Ah Ha” Moment Awaits

Apr13

Ah HA Moment3Have you ever experienced an “Ah Ha” moment? An “Ah Ha” moment is one of those times where you have been praying hard, asking God for help, standing on His word and it simply doesn’t seem like anything is moving in your direction. But then, out of the blue, you receive a revelation or a direction that you’ve never had before. One of those “Ah Ha” moments that you have no idea where it came from but you know that you know it is an answer to what you’ve been seeking.

My mom has been battling Stage 4 Colon Cancer over the past 4 years. One doctor’s appointment can easily turn into 3 or more. We have had days where one appointment has turned into an all day affair only to end up sitting in a hospital being told that you will be staying for an unexpected extended visit. It has been an exhausting process that anyone with this debilitating disease or any disease like it can relate. The tears, the sad news, the awful results and in our case, the staring at not one but two death notices. It has been a living nightmare, not only to my mom who has had to constantly depend on God’s strength just to get up each morning, but to all of us who love her so deeply yet there’s nothing we can do to help…BUT PRAY!!!!

I have heard so many people say “well, all we can do is pray”. Well guess what…praying is and should always be the first line of defense. God created each one of us, unique in His own image. He knows our bodies, our families, our wants, our needs and knows exactly the how, when and where to provide His help. Even through our hardest times, my mom and I continuously pray, thank and praise the Lord because He has already miraculously pulled her from death on two separate occasions.

During this morning’s prayer time, I found myself begging God for His help with tears streaming down my face; not just for mom’s healing but in numerous areas for my family. Now I normally don’t find myself begging or tearing up, but this morning was very different. I encountered an “Ah Ha” moment.

Over the course of the past few months, my mom and I would be “moved” to take communion unexpectedly. Nothing regularly, just God saying to us “do it, right now” and we would faithfully partake. It never failed to help whatever we were about to encounter unexpectedly. However, even though I know I should take communion every day…it hasn’t become something practiced regularly. Yet this morning was quite different. Unexpectedly I knew that I knew…God wanted us to start taking communion every day. It was an “Ah Ha” moment that said if we walk out in faith and listen, He promises to move mightily.

The purpose of this writing is that God overwhelmingly wanted you to know that when we are willing to take a step of faith (listening with our hearts and not our heads); whether it’s taking communion, spending more time with God quietly, tithing to a worthy cause, helping our neighbor with a project or anything else you are “moved” to do; God is seeking to move mightily and unexpected in your life. The “Ah Ha” moment comes when you least expect it, in the craziest of ways and with a peace that is so profound that it can only be from God!Ah Ha Moment2

Let today be your reminder to stop, drop and listen to whatever God is “moving” you to do. It doesn’t have to be a big deal. It doesn’t have to break the bank. It doesn’t have to be a world-changing event…but whatever He is “moving” you to do, you can bet your bottom dollar that it holds the answer you seek!

God knows what you’re going through and He has the answer! Pray up, Listen Up and then Be Still! For His answer will move you unexpectedly and your life will never be the same!

Second Chances

Mar30

MiraclesHave you ever wanted a second chance to do things over, right a wrong or make a different decision that would have altered your life in a completely different direction? Does it seem like the obstacles in your life are so big that things will never change unless God intervenes? Are you hoping and praying that your life has a new beginning that turns your frown upside down?

God has given each one of us many hopes and dreams within our hearts. He wants to make every single one of them come true. Up till now, all of your life experiences (good and bad) have been preparing you for your future. Today, right now can be your new beginning.

No matter what you are facing, God truly has a plan to work it out for your good and His glory!

Isaiah 43:19 (KJV): “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”

Whether you fight depression, sickness, poverty, abandonment, anger, frustration or any other ailment that is plaguing you…God can and will turn it around. He hasn’t forgotten what your dreams are. He wasn’t taken by surprise when these things came against you. He has seen all the turmoil since the very beginning and knows how to spring forth your turnaround. No matter how your life seems or just how much wilderness you’ve encountered up till now…there is absolutely nothing too hard for Him. He wants you happy and whole with nothing missing and nothing broken. He wants you to realize your full potential; making a huge impact in the lives of those around you.

So let today be your new beginning. Start thanking Him for working behind the scenes. Start thanking Him for your restoration. Start thanking Him for bringing your hopes and dreams into your reality. He promises to make it happen. Let your dreams get bigger in your mind and heart today. Let your dreams seem so out of touch that they couldn’t possibly happen unless God intervenes. Dream Bigger! Hope and Pray Bigger! And let God be God!

Mark 10:27 “And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.”

For today is a new day and all things are possible to those whom believe!
