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!

You Have The Authority

Jun13

Big GodDo you have problems in your life? Does your body have aches and pain? Feel like you’re running in circles with no way out? Is your life out of control? Have an addiction? Need a miracle?

It is so easy to focus on the difficulties in life. And the more you focus on the problems, the larger they begin to look. The more you feel a pain in your body, the worse it seems to get. The more you try to quit an addiction, the more hold it has on you. Well…Today is your day to take back your authority.

Jesus said in Matthew 28:18 – “…All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me (Jesus).” Well if Jesus was given all authority over everything in heaven and the earth, and if you gave your life to Christ, THEN YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN ALL THE AUTHORITY TOO!

As soon as you gave your life to Jesus Christ, you were given everything He has. He gave you righteousness, healing, love, power of a sound mind, restoration, and riches according to His glory. Everything good comes from God. There is absolutely nothing missing or broken in God’s Kingdom in heaven or earth.

However, Satan is the current ruler of the earth and roams to kill, steal, and destroy. (John 10:10) Satan, the crafty serpent, is trying to do everything he can to keep you in pain, trouble, and difficulties.  He knows that if you get this revelation THAT YOU HAVE ALL AUTHORITY then he knows the next part is coming too…

Luke 10:19: “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.”

Not only do you have the authority and the power over the enemy but you have also been given the Holy Spirit which is your helper and comforter.

John 14:26- “But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”

You are never left alone. You have all the help you need. Ask the Holy Spirit for the revelation of your authority through Christ. The more you understand your true inheritance, the more your problems and troubles will disappear for He who lives in you is greater than he who lives in this world! Don’t give the devil one more day to antagonize you. His time is up and you now know the true! Take up your authority today and make the serpent slither away! Your victory is at hand!

God Is All Powerful

Please heed this word of caution…as you start getting this revelation deep within your heart and your troubles start to disappear…DO NOT become boastful nor forget that it was GOD who provided you the authority in the first place. Always give thanks to the Lord for it is HE who is your provider.

Luke 10:20 – “Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

And that my friends is the ultimate GOOD NEWS! No matter what, we will see our Heavenly Father and Jesus for our very own eyes! This life is only temporary but we will live forever and ever. PRAISE THE LORD!

Building Your Faith

Jun6

Feed Your FaithEvery day is a chance to see God work in us and work through us. Whether you need healing in your body, soul, mind, relationships, business, ministry, finances or family; God is with us every step of the way. Throughout the Bible, He has shown us time and time again that nothing is impossible with Him. He is willing and able to heal every area of our lives. We don’t have to wonder when or fear that it will ever happen.

Isaiah 41:10: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

It is so important to continuously build our faith. By spending time alone with Him every day, reading the Bible to seek His wisdom and knowledge, and making your needs know to Him through prayer along with thanksgiving for His answers should be all part of our daily lives.

When you disconnect from the your daily distractions and spend time alone with God, you’ll find yourself more peaceful and knowing what path to take. God will make sure to guide your footsteps and restore your soul.

The more time you spend with God, the more you begin to know Him. Your life will begin to change and reflect into His image, into His ways, into His amazing truth. Nothing will be missing and nothing will be broken. God is our everything. He will make sure to take care of the massive big problems you face as well as all the teeny tiny ones. Your life will change beyond anything you could have ever imagined and your life will be an incredible testament to God’s love. He was, is, and will always be everything you need.

Embrace Him.God Gives

Get to know Him.

Love Him.

Praise Him.

Thank Him.

And everything will be alright!

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!
