Grab Hold Of Your Future

May31

Let Go (2014_03_10 01_21_18 UTC)Life has a funny way of constantly reminding you of the things you’ve done wrong. You can be in the middle of a fantastic day, when out of nowhere, a reminder of your past comes along. As soon as it pops into your head, you have a choice to make. You can either mull it over and relive it, or you can ask for God’s forgiveness and release it to Him.

No matter who you are, where you came from, or what you’ve done…IT DOES NOT DEFINE YOU NOW! Your past is just that…your past. When you repented and accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, your past no longer exists and He sees your sins no more. (Hebrews 10:17) You don’t have to live in shame, guilt, anger, or regret. Thanks to Jesus’s finished work, you are a new creature in Christ and only the best days are ahead of you.

So the next time a little reminder comes along, stop it in its path. Release whatever it is to God and let Jesus’ rest come upon you. He will never leave you, nor forsake you. Let Him fill you with unspeakable peace that only He can provide. Accept His loving mercy and kindness today.

REPEAT AFTER ME:

Lord Jesus, thank you for loving me so much. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and making me a new creature. Today, I release all of my past hurts, anger, guilt, shame, and pain. Fill me with your amazing peace as I begin to step forward into the incredible life you have for me. Today, I will walk boldly and confidently knowing that my past is forgiven. Thank you for your mercy, grace, love and kindness. In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray. Amen.

Now…THANK GOD FOR HIS GOODNESS AND GO HAVE A TREMENDOUS DAY!

Be Thankful (2014_03_10 01_21_18 UTC)

It’s Not Too Late

Apr26

LiftedIf you’re like most, we tend to wait until we are in the deepest, darkest pits of our lives before we cry out to God. It’s in these moments that we have exhausted all our efforts and don’t see a way out. Whether it’s years of pain and suffering that has brought us to this place or an unforeseen tragedy; we all go through difficulties within our lives that can take the very breath from us; leaving us feeling desperate and alone.

It is in times like these that we need to reassess our lives. We may not understand why things happen or what we could have possibly done to deserve the terrible experience, but we all seek the answers that are not always readily available. We all face an unseen adversary. It’s not that we deserve anything bad to happen nor have we’ve done anything to deserve it; it is simply the adversary trying to keep you in a deep, dark pit and overwhelmed. The adversary wants to keep you exactly where you are, feeling low and in despair.

When we find ourselves in these moments, the absolute best thing we could do is cry out to God for help. He wants to heal our pain and suffering. He wants to prosper us. He wants to restore the time lost. He wants to restore failed relationships. He wants to restore all the lost opportunities.

God is an all-seeing, all-knowing Father who has the answer to all of our problems. Don’t waste another moment by allowing the adversary to keep you down and out. Speak up and let your voice be heard by the one and only Creator, who wants to heal you completely; physically, mentally, spiritually, financially, and make you whole while filling you with such incredible peace in the midst of your storm. So, don’t waste another moment. Cry out to God for your healing and restoration. It’s never too late because He’s waiting to hear from you, His beloved child. Cry out and watch His amazing, incredible, and miraculous solutions come upon you. For you are never alone, He promises to always be there.

Experience Real Happiness

Apr5

joy-the grinchWho do you listen to? Do you listen to the world’s perspective of happiness? Do you listen to all the commercials saying buy this or buy that, while the actor or actress is showing you fun, excitement, happiness, joy? Do you listen to pastors or religious leaders who tell you “if you send $1,000 today and stand on “blah, blah, blah scripture”, God will make all your problems go away in the next 30 days?

Sorry everybody but God doesn’t work that way. Now He may guide you to purchase something, He may guide you to give that $1,000 because He has something in store for you, He may guide you to do something out of the ordinary to get something extraordinary. HOWEVER…God wants you living a life of pure happiness all the time, not just a one time deal!

When you see things from God’s perspective, your feelings must bend to your faith. You won’t need to purchase something to be happy. Your circumstances don’t need to change before you can be happy. No…God wants us living in perfect peace and harmony all the time; no matter what your circumstances look like.

The world wants us to believe that if you buy this…you’ll look better, feel better, be happier; but happiness…TRUE HAPPINESS…can’t be bought. Real deep-piercing, gut-giddy happiness can only come from your Heavenly Father.

“The joy of the Lord is my strength!” (Nehemiah 8:10, Psalm 28:7)

No matter what your circumstances are, no matter what your feelings feel, no matter what you have to endure to get through the day…you can experience joy every step of the way! The key to your happiness is not buying things or pleading more…the real key is keeping your eyes fixed on the Lord. When you experience and have real deep knowledge of what the Lord experienced, what the Lord accomplished by His death and resurrection; you will undoubtedly know that you know whatever comes against you will never succeed. For Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly. He wants you complete, whole, happy and living in peace no matter what you face. Because the truth and the whole truth is very simple…the more you can see what Jesus accomplished, the more you spend time to learn about Him, the more you build your faith and lean on Him…the more joy you will experience.

When Paul and Silas was thrown into the deepest and darkest prison, they didn’t think about their circumstances. They didn’t let their bad day stop them from experiencing joy. They had every right to feel sorry for themselves. They had every right to feel angry, depressed or let their feelings get the best of them. But they turned a bad situation into a praise-a-thon!

“But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.” (Acts 16:25)

So the next time you have something go wrong or you feel angry or someone says something bad about you or you wish your circumstances would change…do what Paul and Silas did…start singing and worshiping the Lord. Make your situation and feelings bow to the Lord. He will make a way when there isn’t one. He will fill you with peace that surpasses understanding. He will be your strength and most importantly…He will be your joy no matter what you face today!

For your real-deep-giddy happiness lies with the Lord Himself. Don’t let another day pass you by without having the true happiness He wishes you to have!

joy-happiness is choice

It’s a choice you must make everyday!

Choose to Praise Up and Be Happy Today!

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!
