Rockin It In 2015

Jan2

Get ReadyDuring the winter, we tend to hibernate. It’s a time of silence, reflection, and preparation. It’s a time when you feel there is a huge stagnation surrounding you and you simply don’t understand why. The only thing you could do was lean on your faith; knowing that somehow, everything was going to work out in your favor. Worry, doubt, and uncertainty likes to creep in during the night that you just can’t seem to shake.

God is getting ready to make a shift in your life and it is going to ROCK YOUR WORLD! You have stood firm on His word. You have stood on your faith. You have kept hopeful against the odds.  And, He is getting ready to do something AWESOME in your life. There is a newness that surrounds you. An anticipation that brews, waiting to bust out and come alive.

Our loving Father hasn’t been silent during these winter months. Noooooo…He saw you standing in faith; hoping that things would get better. He saw all the seeds you were planting into your heart, family, friends, and co-workers. He didn’t miss a thing you did, nor, was it in vain. Our God is a God of seed, time, and harvest!

“And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting
nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap,
if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.” [Galatians 6:9]

Your Mess Turned to Message

Nov28

God is My HopeWars raging. Epidemics spreading. Volcanoes exploding. Persecutions and attacks. Devastation every where you turn these days. People’s lives are in utter chaos and disarray. Heart-breaking and gut-wrenching photos and video, streaming live throughout the world. Reporters losing their emotional battle while attempting to bring us the horrific stories. Instantly, lives are changed and we all feel the impact.

Yet, in their darkest hour, citizens show amazing courage, strength, hope, love, and compassion. With every dramatic scene; another story of heroism emerges. Neighbors, strangers, and first-responders, frantically trying to help those affected. Hoping they can help save one more person.

Everyday, somewhere and in some way, someone is showing the essence of heroism, hope, and encouragement. None of these people are looking for fame. None of them realize their simple act is impacting someone else deeply.

There are countless stories of how teachers keep calm and shielded their precious children. Men and women who have lost everything in a devastating storm can thank God they are alive and have the courage to say “I knew my maker and I had hope in Him. God protected us. We are alive and everything else can be rebuilt.”

Don't Let Go

That is a powerful reminder to us all. No matter what you are facing today, God can make a way. Whatever you have lost, God can rebuild. There is absolutely nothing more important than to know your maker. It is in times like these that we are to show true courage, hope, and faith that in the midst of all the chaos, one small glimpse of hope can make all the difference.

Life is the most precious commodity and everything else can be rebuilt. So today, no matter what you face, allow your light to shine brightly upon others. Because in the midst of all your chaos, “The Lord is good, a Strength and Stronghold in the day of trouble.” (Nahum 1:7)

And, you never know when He will take your mess and create the most BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE for everyone else to see.

Things Will Change

May30

Many times in life, we feel like we are going nowhere. We’re at a standstill and nothing seems to be happening.  Unsure of any direction and simply put, hope begins to fade.  In times like this, we need to be reminded that the barrenness we feel is only temporary and God’s answers will break through.

We are reminded of this very thing, in Genesis.  God promised Abraham that he would be the father of many nations. Yet, Abraham did not know the “when”, he just knew that God made him a promise.

Now, during the course of Abraham’s story, you begin to realize that a lot of time passed by with nothing happening. You could easily say that Abraham found himself on a long, rocky road of barrenness. He had no clue of the “how” and “when” this promise was supposed to happen. In fact, so many years went by, we see Abraham and Sarah deciding to take matters into their own hands. Unfortunately, we also see that unnecessary strife was the outcome of their decision. However, even though they made a mistake, God still came through for them. The most amazing part was that Abraham and Sarah were far beyond child-rearing days and yet, Sarah gave birth to a child. Just like God said it would happen.

See, it doesn’t matter how long or how rocky our barrenness is. What matters is God has given us THOUSANDS of promises throughout scripture. He knows exactly what we are going through and how to resolve the issues we face. God knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10) and certainly doesn’t need our help along the way. He knows the answer and the perfect timing to make it all happen.

So, when you find yourself on that long rocky road, praying, waiting, and crying out for something to happen; remind yourself of God’s promises. Because even if you lose hope, hope remains. Even if you feel like you are losing faith, a mustard seed of faith will do. (Matthew 17:20)

I don’t know about you but I love surprises.  And, GOD IS FULL OF SURPRISES! In His perfect timing, He will transform your barrenness into something absolutely amazing!

So, HOLD ON! God loves you way too much to leave you where you are. Everyday is a new day and something AWESOME could happen to you in a blink of an eye!

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.
