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.

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!

No Limitations

Nov7

TrustOver the past few weeks, we have learned how to let go and renew our minds. It has been important to re-emphasize how God sees us and how we should see ourselves. The Bible is very specific in showing us that God meets us right where we are; in the midst of our battles, our sins and seeks those who are in need of Him.

Today, we are taking it one step further. With the holidays fast approaching, we tend to get quite busy this time of year. It is a time where many tend to see only problems, lack and inabilities to make things better. We tend to think that we can’t, we don’t have enough skill or money, we can’t make a difference or things are never going to change.

However, we miss the key point. WE SERVE A HUGE GOD! Our God created the universe from darkness. He is all powerful, all knowing, all loving, all caring and a Master Physician to boot. So what in the world do we have to worry about?

There is absolutely nothing we can do to deserve God’s love. He loved us before we were even born. He created us in the womb. He knew everything that we would face in this world and already provided the answers before they even happened. He knows what will happen today, tomorrow and in the future. So, let go of all the things that are holding you back. Let go of anything that no longer serves you. God knows what you need, when you need it and how to get it to you! Trust and believe in Him. He truly has you covered! Period! There are no “if’s”, “ands”, or “buts” about it!

I don’t know about you but I want 2016 to be the most AMAZING YEAR that I ever could encounter. And, in order to do that, we need to be prepared and in the right mindset…

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO LIMITATIONS WITH GOD!

Butterfly transformation

HE IS ALL WE NEED! See Him for who He is and know that He will bring the most wonderful year to you! There is absolutely nothing impossible to Him so quit stressing and learn to be FREE in God’s loving hands! He is the potter and will mold your life into something more incredible than you ever dreamed.

So, what are you waiting for?

Let go and allow GOD TO BE GOD!

Vengeance Is The Lords

Jul12

bad customer4Over the past few months, one of our family friends has been viciously attacked by another business owner. Our family friend is an 83 year old business woman who has worked extremely hard all her life. After the loss of her husband, she worked even harder. She loves her business and her customers; striving to give them a wonderful experience each and every time. Unfortunately, the gentleman she rents her shop from has no respect for woman in general. He believes that all women are beneath him and are not worthy of his time. He feels it is alright to yell, scream and belittle people just because he owns the building. No one is safe under his roof and confrontations is the norm.

A few weeks ago, my mom and I went to our friend’s shop to help her rearrange the shelves and give the shop a new feel. The energy in the shop had become quite stagnant because of the discontentment the building owner had created. So we worked all weekend, moving and organizing things to help our friend get some pep back in her step. It was fantastic. All three of us were laughing, singing, and just having a good ol’ time during the process. Our friend started feeling vibrant again. She was overwhelmed that we would take so much time to help her so we just kept singing “because your worth it” all day.

Before we left the building, we prayed that God would open up new opportunities and bless her place of business with a newness and vibrancy that she desperately needed. At the very end of the prayer, we prayed and agreed that when two or more agree, it will be done.

Matthew 18:19: Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. that when two or more agree, it will be done. 

Little did we know what God had planned.

Over the course of the next two weeks, the building owner started arguing with his security guard and other business owners who rented space in his building. He became more vicious in his verbal attacks. He found himself under some death threats and lawsuits. It started a landslide of events. The building owner became more and more on edge. His stomach started giving him difficulties. And many shop owners are having to make decisions if they too should leave this ruthless building owner. But all of this still wasn’t going to make the building owner back down. He ended up arguing, lying, and doing everything he could to get some of his renters to sell their businesses to him. It truly was an ugly sight.

Our family friend decided enough was enough. She didn’t want to leave her business but knew she couldn’t go on under these circumstances. My mom went over to the shop to help our friend take inventory and help start getting things ready to move. Unbeknownst to my mom, she had walked into the devil’s lair and a battle for our friend’s livelihood. The building owner was determined to make our friend sell to him. After hours of having to battle this man’s disgusting display of temper tantrums, our friend decided to sell right on the spot. Unfortunately, the building owner kept all the funds for supposedly lack of rent payments. So now our friend was not only out of business, she was out of inventory and funds too.

Now you might be wondering what the good news is in this story. Well that’s the best part. As God tells us in Romans 12:18-20:

18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. 19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord. 20 “BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD.”

So what happened…GOD IS WHAT HAPPENED! All of a sudden, our friend was being visited by another business owner who heard about what happened. He offered her a management position in his business doing what she loves to do. He personally took her to fill out all the paper work, paid for all the fees, provided part of her paycheck upfront (so she had funds) and took her to meet his team. He put his arm around her and told the team, she is your new manager and we are going to take good care of her.

No matter what you face today and no matter who is coming after you, don’t lose heart. If God can completely change the course of an 83 year old woman’s journey…what do you think he can do for you? My answer…GIVE IT TO GOD AND SEE HIS MIGHTY HAND UPON YOUR LIFE! For there is absolutely nothing too hard for our Lord Almighty! He will put the right people, at the right time with the right opportunity in your life, unexpectedly!

Look Out, God’s Grace Is With You

Apr24

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 ABUNDANCE 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 GRACE 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!
