Feelin’ Squeezed

Mar9

Sour Lemon FaceIs life throwing you lots of lemons right now? Does it feel like the weight of the world is upon your shoulders? Do you feel squeezed from every direction?

Job, David, Apostle Paul…they all went through a lot of squeezing in life. Between losing everything they owned, losing family, friends turning their backs on them and being put in jail. It didn’t look like there was any way out of the mess. They couldn’t break the chains of bondage. They didn’t deserve what happened. They had no clue they would have to go through so much pain and sorrow. The only thing they could do was stand on their faith, believing God had a plan that they couldn’t see.

BUT THEN…God moved in their lives, restoring what was lost, giving them health and the strength to go on. God has a way when you don’t see one. Stand up and dig in church! You might be squeezed from every angle of life. You might be crushed and heartbroken. But our heavenly father collects all those tears. He will help you every step of the way even when you feel all alone and no movement of God.

  • Psalm 30:2 “O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.”
  • Psalm 34:2 “I will boast only in the LORD; let all who are helpless take heart.”
  • Psalm 34:4 “I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.”
  • Psalm 107:4-6 “They wandered in the wilderness in a desert region; They did not find a way to an inhabited city. They were hungry and thirsty; Their soul fainted within them. Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He delivered them out of their distresses.”
  • Psalm 118:5 “Out of my distress I called on the LORD; the LORD answered me and set me free.”

Dig your heels in and keep standing in faith. Your God is bigger, stronger, lovelier, and is unlimited in ways we simply don’t understand. Today I ask you all, let God help you turn those sour lemons into your very own sweet-tasting lemonade. He won’t let you down nor will He forget your struggles while standing in faith. One small faith a size of a mustard seed is all it takes.Tasty Lemonade

He promises to take all your hurt, pain, sickness, disease, poverty, failed opportunities and relationships AND TURN THEM AROUND into your favor! Get ready to have an amazing testimony for when He squeezes so tight and everything falls apart, you can bet that He has something so amazing in store for you!

So today, let that squeeze come upon you. Rejoice in the midst of your pain and sorrow. For God is up to something in your life and your best days are just ahead! Stand firm and know that God can make the most heavenly lemonade there is! Dig in church! Dig in for that sweet taste of victory that’s coming your way today!

Are You Ready?

Mar2

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.

But, now…Spring is in the air. Flowers are blooming, trees are budding, and you can feel the excitement in the air. Spring is such a beautiful time of the year when the Earth renews and all things seem possible. There is a newness that surrounds you. An anticipation that brews, waiting to bust out and come alive.

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.

Our loving Father wasn’t silent during those 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]

Back to Basics

Jan31

back-to-basicsWhat does your Bible say?

My Bible says Jesus walked on water. My Bible says Jesus calmed the storm. My Bible says Jesus rose Lazarus from the dead. My Bible says Jesus fed over 5,000 men, women and children with a child’s snack. My Bible says Jesus is closer than a brother. My Bible says the Holy Spirit is my helper. My Bible says the Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer. My Bible says that God gave us a spirit of power, love, self discipline and a sound mind. My Bible says that God will give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed. My Bible says through His stripes we are healed. My Bible says God’s grace is sufficient. My Bible says seek the Kingdom of God and everything will be added.

God promises good news and prosperity for every believer! God’s Word is solid truth for He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Today I ask that you go back to the basics.

It doesn’t matter what your circumstances say. It doesn’t matter what your bank accounts say. It doesn’t matter what the doctor says or what addiction you might have. It doesn’t matter where you are or where you came from. It doesn’t matter if you feel overwhelmed, afraid or have failed previously.

My Bible says God has an abundant life filled with peace, love, joy and happiness for all those who believe. My Bible says that all things work out for our good. My Bible promises that if we keep standing in faith through the midst of all the storms, we will have victory.

So today we are going back to the basics. No matter what anyone says or thinks, Keep believing. Keep standing on His promises until things begin to change in your life. Because my Bible says perfect love casts out all fear. Ask God for a deep revelation of His love and meditate on His Word constantly. If you just get back to the basics without all the fluff, God will guide you, protect you, love you, show Himself to you, break the fear, heal your pain, guide your path and your life will be greater than ever before.

Accept It ~ Believe It ~ Receive It ~ And Speak It

God is good and worthy to be praised. If you continue to believe and build your faith…

you will see the Glory of God in your life!

Thank Him right now that everything will turn out alright.

Because my Bible says your beginnings may seem little but your latter days will be very great!

Jehovah Jireh ~ Lord My Provider

Jan22

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 Did 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!
