Checkmate

Jan17

Broken HeartTragedy has struck so many of us, rocking into our very core. We don’t understand why these things happen, there is no reasonable explanation. There is no justification of how something so terrible could be allowed into our lives. We have no idea why this painful event had to happen and the grief that has stricken us is so deep and painful. There are no words that can comfort. There are no reasons that make sense. God is love. He is perfect. He is all-knowing. So how can He allow such debilitating things happen in our lives?

As we all go through such tragic events in our lives, satan loves to call “Checkmate”. He knows we can not understand the why. He knows we try to rationalize these terrible events. He knows we need to process them and try to reason them out. He wants us to feel that he has our chess king totally surrounded. He wants us to feel there are no more moves to make. He wants us to feel completely helpless.

Well I have news for satan today, we all can say “I Don’t Think So”. We all have one more move and that is down to our knees. We serve an all-loving, all-knowing, all-amazing God that always has another move to make. There maybe nothing we can do in our circumstances but our All-Powerful Heavenly Father says give it to me, I’ll take care of the pain, of the sorrow, of the unknown and will replace it with peace that surpasses all understanding, joy that rises in the morning and He will make a move in our lives that will make satan realize…he messed with the wrong person.

Isaiah 43:2 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.”

Never alone

Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”

So when your heart aches like no tomorrow, you feel there are no more moves to make and you are desperately trying to find your way in the midst of the storm…

Stop Drop and Pray

Pour your heart out to Him. Tell Him exactly how you feel. Explain your frustrations. God has big shoulders that you can lean on.

Let the King of Kings and Lord of Lords hear you speak for He will not leave you stranded. He will not leave you crushed, sad or alone. He will rise up on your behalf and show you HIS next move! God always has another move and nothing…and I do mean absolutely nothing…will stand in His way.

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.

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!
