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.

The Healing Power

Jul19

Cast Your CareThis past week, I found myself surrounded in doctors when my mom was rushed to the hospital.  We had no idea what was happening and soon found out that it was very serious.  As more and more tests were taken, fear tried to persuade me that she wasn’t going to make it.  I had a choice to make; either give into the fear or start pleading the blood.

In order for me to take control of the feelings pressuring me to make the wrong choices, I sent a Prayer Call to all of our family and friends on Facebook.  I needed help and in a BIG WAY!  As soon as I hit the enter button, I immediately felt the weight of the world lift off my shoulders.

Right before mom went into surgery, we prayed to the Great Physician; knowing that God is our healer and protector in all situations.  The surgery went well, however, mom had an adverse reaction to the anesthesia.  She found herself unable to breathe and shivering non-stop.  This was not a normal reaction and we came very close to losing her.  Now, during this time, I could have panicked.  I could have given up.  Heck, I could have even started yelling at God.  But, something very different happened instead.

While I’m watching the hospital staff do everything they could to save mom, I found myself speaking in tongues.  I just opened my mouth and uttered whatever it was the Holy Spirit knew I needed.  The more I spoke, the worse mom got.  Then it hit me like a ton of bricks…THE DEVIL IS A LIAR, don’t believe what you see.

Fervently, I kept praying in tongues asking the Holy Spirit to take over the situation because I had no clue what was going on, nor what mom needed.  All of a sudden, mom was breathing and calming down.  It was like the angels surrounded her in God’s amazing healing power.  Within 24 hours, she did a miraculous 360 degree turnaround.  It was one of the most amazing things I have ever encountered.

1 Corinthians 14:2 “For those who speak in a tongue do not speak to other people but to God; for nobody understands them, since they are speaking mysteries in the Spirit.”

Full armor of GodMiracles do still happen!  And I’m here today to tell you that no matter what you encounter and no matter what you see, God is still in the miracle business.  He is still intervening in ways we can’t comprehend.

So, the next time you find yourself under fire and nothing appears to be going right, speak in tongues and watch God’s healing power come to life in your situation.  For He truly is a Loving, Protecting, and Caring Father!

Love and Compassion Prevailed

Apr19

Horrific tragedies rocked our world this week.  Pictures touched the hearts of millions.  The innocent victims and all those that witnessed the horror of these events were shocked to the very core.  People from around the the world enjoying a beautiful, sunny day in Boston and Texans living out their every day lives; when explosions, instantly, changed their world.  These horrific events tend to remind us of just how precious and fragile life is.

Love and CompassionYet, in the midst of the chaos and horror; the glimmers of hope, love and compassion grew beyond measure.  Not just the first responders, but, the masses of average, everyday people who immediately reacted to those in need, without a thought for themselves nor the danger surrounding them. In a split second decision, TRUE HEROES took action filled with love, hope, compassion, and encouragement to lift up the spirits of those hurt and in despair.

During these dark hours, we all go through a massive chain of emotions.  Shock, disbelief, frustration, anger, fear, and sadness soar through our minds, body, and soul.  It is imperative that we see the love and compassion of all individuals who rushed to help.  To see their heroic efforts to help their fellow-man.  We may not understand why these things happen.  However, in the midst of these tragedies, there are many who showed that love, compassion, and hope prevails above all else. In a blink of an eye, strangers can come together for the greater good.

In the coming days, I ask that we all take a few more moments to hold our families a little bit tighter.  Let those around us know how much we love them.  And, pray for God’s healing to rush upon those touched by these horrific events.  It is times like these that we need to remember “He who lives within us is greater than he who is in this world” (1 John 4:4) and there is nothing more precious than love for our fellow-man.

FEAR

Sep14

Fear is so prevalent in our society today.  All you have to do is turn on the TV or search the internet and you will see fear everywhere!  But, did you know that fear is the devil’s way of keeping you in bondage? When we allow fear into our lives, it can birth into other nasty emotions, such as worry, stress and discouragement.

  • The fear of the unknown.
  • The fear of “what ifs”.
  • The fear of not having enough.
  • Fear of war, diseases and the economy.

We all have moments of fear or doubt.  In all honesty, most people fear things that most likely will never happen to them.  The problem with fear is that it can really take a grip on you.  You can find yourself in such a state that you stop doing the very things you have loved to do in the past.

But, what does the Bible say about fear?  Proverbs 29:25 says, “The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever leans on, trusts in, and puts his confidence in the Lord is safe and set on high.”

God is specifically telling us to lean and trust in Him because we are safe.  It doesn’t take a lot of faith or constant prayer.  Just tell God about the things you are fearing and let them go.  The one thing we really need to understand is that God has everything under control.

So…RELAX!  The battle is His and it is already WON!  Just seek the Lord and let Him take care of the rest, for fear has no place in your life.  Live, Love, Laugh and be Happy!  Life has so much to offer – REACH OUT and GRAB IT!
