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!

Everlasting Rock ~ Jehovah

Dec19

worthyJehovah or Yahweh is one of the most fantastic names of our Heavenly Father and really speaks volumes when you grasp the full meaning.

Psalm 83:18 “That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.”

When you read that, what does it mean to you?

None of us are too familiar with calling God as “Jehovah” or “Yahweh”. We know Him as Lord, Father, Jesus…but “Jehovah”…not too much.

There is much meaning behind this name. God specifically tells us that there is no other God before Him. He sits high above all and will not be changed or compromised in any way. It simply means He is eternal and self-Existent. God didn’t have to create man, He chose to. He wanted to have a real, life-changing relationship with each one of us. Throughout history, you see many Gods being idolized. From the very beginning, God told us He is a jealous God and we are to bow to no other God but Him.

Isaiah 45:…20“Gather yourselves and come; Draw near together, you fugitives of the nations; They have no knowledge, Who carry about their wooden idol And pray to a god who cannot save. 21“Declare and set forth your case; Indeed, let them consult together. Who has announced this from of old? Who has long since declared it? Is it not I, the LORD? And there is no other God besides Me, A righteous God and a Savior; There is none except Me. 22“Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other.…

God is unchangeable…He is the same yesterday, today and forever.blessed is the man

Isaiah 26:…3“The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You. 4“Trust in the LORD forever, For in GOD the LORD, we have an everlasting Rock.

Isaiah 12: 1Then you will say on that day, “I will give thanks to You, O LORD; For although You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, And You comfort me. 2“Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.” 3Therefore you will joyously draw water From the springs of salvation.…

God wants to be everything to you. Just as in Job 29:4, God wants to be your friend who watches over you, protects you, strengthens you, comforts you and always be there for you. There is no other God that could ever save you. He is your salvation.

So as you go about your week, give thanks to our Lord Jehovah and remember that He is always there for you. Talk with Him about everything going on in your life and listen to His still small voice for He will guide your path to the greatness He wants for you. Praise His Name above all others for He will give you the desires of your heart and much success is in your very near future.

Prison Break

Nov21

Prison BreakA prison can be a very dark and miserable place. A place where you are shackled, tormented, and lonely. A place where you are constantly worried, stressed, hungry, and withdrawn. A place where no one else can go. A place where there’s no where to run and no where to hide. So let me ask…what is your prison today?

Maybe your prison is in your emotions, your health, your friendships, your relationships, your work, your spouse, your finances, your children or a mixture of them all? Again I ask…what is your prison today?

When you feel at your lowest, you’ve lost all that you have, you have no one to turn to, you feel lonely and lost, you have no way out of the current situation…then it’s time for a PRAISE BREAK!

Acts 16:25-34(NIV)
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. 27 The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!”
29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized. 34 The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole household.

Paul and Silas were in a literal jail. They were shackled and had no where to go. But at Midnight, in their darkest hour, they started singing hymns and praising the Lord. Just from that praise…their chains were broken, their wounds were washed, they were feed and saved many people from one simple and amazing miracle God created.

deliverance-1320x742

So, when you feel like you are at your wits end, when you don’t want to get out of bed, when you feel trapped and lonely and you simply want to give up…then you are primed for a miracle, a breakthrough and for something amazing to happen!

In the darkest of circumstances…Praise Him! Make some noise of joy! Stir up your faith! Cause an explosion of His goodness in your life.

He is, was and will forever be all that you need! When you don’t feel like praying or all hope is lost…PRAISE HIM! For in the blink of an eye, your situation can and will change. The weight will be lifted off your shoulders and you will begin to see the wonderful things happening in your life that only God can provide!

Your breakthrough ~ Your healing ~ Your miracle is on its way!
