Jolt Yourself

Mar2

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!

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 year 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 each day 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?

Jehovah Jireh ~ Lord My Provider

Feb12

battle_fight_cartoonHave you been brought to your knees with nowhere to go? Have you found yourself fighting a battle that seems to only intensify? Are you drowning in debt with no relief in sight? Have you lost loved ones unexpectedly? Have things in your life continued to spiral downward and you find yourself at the bottom of a pit?

What are you battling today? What is missing in your life? What illness, loss, addiction are you fighting? What has a hold on you?

Satan came to steal, kill and destroy us. He will do everything in his power to stop God’s plan for your life. Whether he steals your job, home, car, relationships or destroys those around us with sickness, addictions and disease. He has one purpose and one purpose only…and that is to sway you away from your faith by constantly bombarding your life with difficulties and tragedies; making you wonder where God is or why God would allow such things to happen.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say only good things happen to those who love the Lord. It actually says just the opposite…

…Luke 6:21 “Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. 22“Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man. 23 “Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven.”

Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly. (John 10:10) He wants the absolutely best for you and your loved ones. Jesus took our sinful place on the cross so that believing in Him, we are made righteous and right-standing with our Heavenly Father. We don’t have to earn His love…He already loves us. We don’t have to change…He’ll change us. We won’t lose our salvation…Jesus is our salvation.

Satan is a liar and today, we are standing in faith that Jesus is Lord of Lords and Kings of Kings. He is our Jehovah Jireh. God’s eternal grace, continual provision and all-encompassing wisdom is available to all those who believe. Jehovah-Jireh is not “The LORD Might Provide,” but “The LORD Will Provide.” His name doesn’t simply indicate that He provided once and won’t do it again. No…it anticipates a future action, a constant help. God is, was, and will always be the same. He doesn’t change.

jehovah-jireh-blessing

When satan’s fiery darts are constantly shaking your world, it is so important that you do not weaken in your faith. Our God is our provider and is more than capable to provide, satisfy, and help you overcome. You might not see a way but our God has a way. Don’t let your faith waver or unbelief creep in. Stand boldly at the feet of Jesus. Give Him your worries and doubts. Let Him know that through it all, you will praise His name above all else. It doesn’t matter what we see, what matters is who lives within us. He is far greater than anything that comes against you.

So today, let’s stand in faith together. Whatever your need is today, ask God for it in prayer and then believe that you receive it. (Romans 4:18-21) It doesn’t matter if your circumstances don’t fit what you’re asking for. God is not limited by our circumstances. He created the whole universe and has unlimited power. He wants us to ask, believe and know without a shadow of any doubt, He can provide you with unlimited resources. It’s not for us to show off but it’s for His glory!

Think of it this way…

  • Is your vehicle broken and run down? Ask God for a debt-free vehicle and then say out loud…Thank you Lord for providing my awesome new vehicle. I believe that I receive a debt-free vehicle that is top of the line in the name of Jesus.  You are the all powerful, almighty, all loving God and I praise your name.
  • Do you need a home to call your own or something larger to fit your family’s needs? Ask God for the perfect debt-free home and then say out loud…Thank you Lord for providing my family’s incredible home. I believe that I receive a debt-free home right now in the name of Jesus. You are the all powerful, almighty, all loving God and I praise your name.
  • Do you or someone you love need healing? One small touch from God is all it takes. Ask God for His swift healing and then say out loud…Thank you Lord for providing my healing. By Jesus stripes we are now healed. I believe that I receive your healing, in the name of Jesus. You are the all powerful, almighty, all loving God and I praise your name.

Whatever you need, God can provide. The key is to stand in faith and keep believing until everything is manifested and restored in your life. Don’t let satan steal your joy anymore. Stand strong and keep the faith for your Jehovah Jireh can and will provide. It’s not about being able to boast about your new job, car or home…it’s about receiving an incredible testimony about what God did for you to share with others. Because you will know that you know it was your Heavenly Father that provided and there was absolutely nothing you could have done to make it happen. It will defy all human logic.

God gives you breath and grace that is sufficient every single day. Why wouldn’t He give you your heart’s desires in order to Praise His Name? (Psalm 37:4) He is and will forever be…all you need! Don’t let fear and doubt stop you anymore. Take the limits off God and see His mighty hand swiftly come upon you.

Speak up ~ Thank up ~ And Get Ready To Share Your Testimony!

Look Out, God’s Grace Is With You

Feb9

His Word Is TrueNo matter who you are, everyone finds themselves going through some tough circumstances and difficult situations in their lives right now. Satan is not a respecter of persons. He loves to attack anyone he feels threatened by and…YOU, YOU CHILD OF GOD are a threatening force to be reckoned with!

Whether you find yourself with an addictive behavior, a frayed relationship, in deep depression, a financial mess, or a huge mixture of them all…I want you to know that GOD’s GRACE IS SUFFICIENT for whatever you are battling. Take a couple of the key people in the Bible for a moment. Job found himself in a terrible mess. He went from being a very rich man with a great family to losing everything he owned. He had absolutely nothing left. In an instant…He lost his home, his family, his flocks, and his wealth. Look at Paul. He was snake bitten. Shipwrecked. Thrown into jail. Stoned. Whipped. And thrown over a cliff being left for dead. He had absolutely nothing left.

At first, they both had an incredible life. They felt like they were on top of the world. They had so much going for them. And then…a major crash came. Everything they knew was gone in an instant. In a blink of an eye. It looked like their situations were so huge and massive, that there was no way they were going to get out of them. Does that sound like your situation? Does your circumstances look like there’s no way out? Are you so overwhelmed that you just can’t see any solutions?

If that sounds like you…take heart because I have TREMENDOUS NEWS FOR YOU!!! GOD’S GRACE IS SUFFICIENT! HE HAS A WAY WHEN THERE ISN’T ONE!

“2 Corinthians 12:8 Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. 9And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.”God is Bigger than problems

No matter what you face, no matter what you find yourself going through, no matter how weak and helpless you might feel…God’s grace is sufficient. See, when we find ourselves in a difficult situation…instead of murmuring or complaining about it; we should THANK GOD FOR HIS ABUNDANT GRACE! His grace is more than enough to handle the problem. Sure, it may not look like you will get out of the situation but you will have VICTORY! GOD SAYS SO!

Maybe you are just like Job or Paul. Maybe you find yourself broke, busted and disgusted. Maybe you lost everything. Maybe that addiction has such an intense hold that you can’t seem to break free. Well the best thing you can do is PRAISE GOD THAT HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT. Job and Paul ended up being some of the greatest men in the Bible. They knew that God was all they needed. They prayed, they believed and they praised Him no matter what they found themselves going through. Maybe you are down to your last dollar and have bills to pay…PRAISE GOD THAT YOU HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO PAY YOUR BILLS! Maybe people are talking badly about you…PRAISE GOD THAT HIS GRACE OVERCOMES YOUR HATERS. Maybe your marriage is in turmoil…PRAISE GOD THAT HIS GRACE RESTORES MARRIAGES.

I CANThere is absolutely no way you can lose. Sure, it may not look like anything is happening. It may look like you are defeated. It may seem impossible. It may seem like there is absolutely no way you are going to get out of this mess. It may appear that your healing will never come. You might have been holding on for years and nothing seems to be happening in your favor.

But today you can declare…VICTORY THROUGH CHRIST! It’s His grace, His love, His healing, His peace, His restoration that will make sure that you are the VICTOR not the victim, the HEAD and not the tail, ABOVE and not below! You are more than a conqueror through Christ! You will succeed no matter what you face! God promises that all good things come from Christ and that “no weapon formed against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD.” (Isaiah 54:17)

VICTORY IS YOURS!

DECLARE IT ~ ACCEPT IT ~ EXPECT IT!

Are You Ready For The Truth?

Dec4

There are so many Christians, true followers of Christ our Lord and Savior, that feel lost. They have been bombarded with false doctrine and don’t even realize it. They have prayed, fasted and done all they could for their breakthroughs, yet nothing seems to change.

Today’s word is one of warning and truth. It’s being written with love for all those who have suffered greatly and have not seen the miracles they desperately need.

Right now on the world stage, God is bringing truth and light out of the darkness. You’re seeing pastors being arrested for sexual abuse. You’re seeing satanic symbols in church buildings. Sunday mornings have become more of a theater & lighting show than gospel being spoke. You’re hearing of satanic worship that goes beyond any comprehension. And yes, unfortunately we’re hearing that some pastors, actors, singers, politicians and media are a part of it. I can tell you that I’ve been shocked as things are being exposed. Once your eyes are opened, you start picking up all the signs that have been there all along. It’s quite disheartening. Then you start hearing bits and pieces about the clergy response teams and what that truly entails. There is so much we simply haven’t known and now it’s being brought to the center stage. This isn’t an easy word to write because we’ve been deceived for so long and it is imperative that Christians wake up, repent and turn back to the One True God.

For years Christians have been going to church, tithing and asking for prayer only to find themselves broke, busted and disgusted. They believe God’s Word and wholeheartedly have done all the right things they’ve been taught. They’ve gone to church, been faithful in their giving but all they see is deeper debt while the megachurch pastors are living extravagant lifestyles. Something is amiss here when wealthy pastors aren’t willing to even give food to those in need unless they fill out massive paperwork and get the pastor’s authorization. This completely misses the mark.

Does God want us prosperous? Absolutely! There’s nothing wrong with that. However, we are to be prosperous so we can help others. Period! Did Jesus ask for a tithe to heal? Did Jesus ask how much you can pay for a breakthrough? NO! Jesus just wanted to know if you believed in Him and that He could do all that you’ve asked.

I truly believe we are in the beginning stages of home congregations where real believers in Christ will come together, pray together, help one another and truly be there for each other. If one person is having a tough time, then all those in the home group gather to help. That is the real meaning of worship. It’s not a building, it’s not a rock star lifestyle…it’s a love for one another, lending a helping hand while worshiping and giving thanks to the Lord. It’s the people that make a “church” not a building!

God is starting to reveal many things about those in high positions, those in religious settings and the truth that will set us free. It will be our choice to either listen or turn a blind eye to it. There are going to be some very difficult things shown to us that I believe will rock us deeply. Will we be ready for God’s truth? Are we willing to let go of what we think or have been taught in order to follow the real truth.

God’s heart is for all to be saved. Unfortunately there will be many who will not want to let go of their current lifestyle, repent and turn back to the One True God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. Will you be willing?

This is a very deep conversation with many more aspects to be revealed as God sheds light on them. We don’t need to be afraid. God is in control and He’ll continue protecting, loving and guiding us. However we truly need to be ready for what will be exposed and know the true gospel without all the hype.

It’s happening quickly and seems to be accelerating. For those of us who love the Lord and want to do His will for our lives…we need to be ready to help others understand when it hits hard. God has had enough and He’s exposing much. People are going to be devastated as they come to realize that those they trusted the most have actually betrayed and done despicable things in order to keep their money & status. It will be hard to swallow and we’re already seeing people run away from the “church”. The hurt and confusion is real. None of this has ever been exposed before and our eyes are being opened. This is world wide so all of us need to ban together, love one another and be ready to love those who start seeing the truth revealed.

Please don’t take our word for it. Pray and do your own research. We are living in very exciting yet disturbing times. God is doing a massive awakening around the world.

With the Christmas season upon us, may we all take time to reflect what Jesus really accomplished with His ministry, death and resurrection. It is because of Him we are called brothers and sisters; children of the Most High God. Be loving this holiday season, pray as a family and give thanks for HIM. He is truly the reason for Christmas and we all have an amazing destiny that is ready to be birthed.

Sending you all many wonderful holiday blessings. May God fill you with the peace that surpasses all understanding.
