God of Hope

May3

Calm the StormAround the world, believers are facing some of the most difficult times they have ever encountered. They are struggling through adversity from every angle. Physically, financially, spiritually, mentally and emotionally shaken to their very core. It has been the worst of times for most. Yet through it all, they have reasons to dig their heels in and hold on for dear life; knowing that the stormy seas can’t last forever.

The devil knows that his time is almost up. He is doing everything in his power to make you give up. He wants to make sure that you don’t make it to the other side. He doesn’t want you to see your victory, your healing or your prosperity. He knows that if he can make you change your course, then he can put some distance between you and your God-given future. But, the devil is a liar! (John 8:44)

don't give up1God has seen you holding on for dear life. He has seen the storms raging against you. He has seen every tear shed and heard every word you’ve spoken. He knows that you are at the end of your rope. Yet, God also knows that through all of your pain and suffering, there is light at the end of the tunnel. The devil has had his time and the bell is ringing to its end. God is about to reverse the curse in your life and make such an impact; that every single one of your enemies will flee.

There is an old saying, “don’t get your hopes up”. Well, that too is a lie.

Our God is the God of hope. He wishes to fill you with such joy and peace that the Holy Spirit will be overflowing with hope. (Romans 15:13) But God doesn’t stop there. He says “your hope will never leave you ashamed.” (Romans 5:5)

So, expect the unexpected. Expect God’s promises to come to pass in your life today. Hope beyond fear. Fill your mind with God’s goodness and love. For when God’s mighty hand comes upon your life, you will be standing tall. Your testimony will be so great, people will want to know what has happened. They will want to know how your life suddenly changed.

Keep embracing HOPE. Keep dreaming BIG dreams.

You are about to encounter God’s goodness like never before!

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!

Da Real Purpose

Mar22

pain&sorrowNeed healing, restoration, strength, financial help or all of the above and more?

1 Cor 11:23 “For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.”

One of the most precious and rewarding acts we easily forget is taking communion. So many have been taught that it should be done only on special holidays. Some have been taught that you must be pure when you take communion or you will become sick or weak. That is the furthest from the truth you can get.

What you must remember is that when you accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, your sins were forgiven! He makes you pure and white as snow.

Da Real Purpose of the communion is to remember the true reason behind it. Don’t do it haphazardly or without thought. When you break the bread, you should remember that Jesus’ body was broken for you. When you sip from the cup, you should remember that His blood was shed for you. That’s it, nothing more.

When you feel lost, unworthy, guilty, pain, sorrow and in need of help, the absolutely best thing you can do is partake in the communion. Whether you do it every day or once a week, the communion was given to us to remember what JESUS ACCOMPLISHED FOR US! He has given us a way to overcome the things that are coming against us. It was HIM and HIM ALONE!!!!

From this point forward, I ask you to partake of the communion every day. Begin to see the truth of Jesus’ sacrifice for you. Remember to celebrate that your sins are forgiven. Rejoice that one day He will come back to rule and reign. Receive your healing, restoration and strength that He purchased for you with His body and blood.

Don’t waste another day feeling weak, sick or defeated…receive and partake in Da Real Purpose of the communion and see Him work mightily in your life today!

You’re Being Set Up

Mar16

God's GloryDid you know that your crisis is a setup for God’s glory!

Think about it…When so many things are coming against you, when the pain and sorrow is so bad that you don’t care what you look like or what people say about you, when you feel utterly empty, sad, alone, unhappy, defeated and depressed…most people would write you off. People would say there’s no hope. People would say you are a failure.

It’s hard to keep doing what God called you to do in the midst of the crisis. It’s hard to stand on the promises of God when everything around you is in chaos. It’s hard to read the gospel when all you want to do is cry. It’s hard to keep praying when you have no idea what to pray for.

Your emptiness, loneliness, singleness, unhappiness, hurt, pain and sorrow is never wasted when it’s for the Glory of God. You might have tried doing everything and failed. You’ve cried till your eyes are puffy and failed. You’ve turned to your family and friends yet everything still fails.

REMEMBER…It only takes one small touch from God to reverse course.

Think about it this way…When everything is going wrong and you get to the point that unless God touches your life, you see absolutely no way out. At this point, who would you praise when things miraculously turnaround into your favor and breakthroughs start happening so rapidly that your head spins? GOD DOES!!!

Psalm 107:2 “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;”

He’ll turn your sorrow to happiness, your frown to a smile, sickness and disease to restored health, your poverty into more than enough to spare and share, your sour relationships to loving partnerships and your loss to much gain.

Not one stone will be left un-turned when God moves mightily in your life. We may not understand the squeeze. We may not understand why all the sour lemons are being thrown. But what we can know is that we serve a MIGHTY GOD who created the universe.

Jesus was squeezed in every area of life before He chose to go to the cross. His stress and pain was so great, His sweat was droplets of blood. It’s His blood that will prevail. It’s His sacrifice that is more than enough to give us victory. When Jesus’ squeeze was finished…the grave couldn’t hold Him. He prevailed and received the ultimate victory…sitting at the Right Hand of our Father.gods-glory

Don’t think for one moment that Jesus doesn’t know what you’re going through. He gave you the victory…grab hold and don’t let go when things start getting rough. The rougher the road, the more incredible your outcome will be. Rejoice in your squeezing because you are about to make the most incredible lemonade there is.

Let Him shine in your life today! For when He does, all those people who wrote you off will be looking at you in AWE seeing that your God is real and truly does exist! You’ll have the most amazing testimony to share with all those who might not have believed!

So…Get ready to praise loudly for He moves swiftly and mightily!

AND…the Glory will be ALL HIS!
