Grace morning on this triumphant and tranquil Tuesday.

Sometimes you have to go through the pain to get to the purpose, through the weeping to get to the joy, through the struggle to get to the abundance. If you keep being faithful, and you’re going to see what God’s been working on for generations, you’re going to come into houses that you didn’t build, vineyards that you didn’t plant, promotion you didn’t deserve, mercy when you should have received judgement. But God doesn’t judge the way we judge. We look at people how they are, but God sees what they can become. We see the dirt, God sees the treasure. We see the mess, God sees the miracle. No matter how many mistakes you’ve made, how many failures, how many times we’ve blown it, God is full of mercy, he still has a purpose for your life. God never consults your past to determine your future. What you’ve done in the past does not stop what God has planned for your future.

“Come to me all of you who are tired. You are like people who have worked for a long time. You are like people who have carried heavy things. Come to me. If you do that, you will find a place to rest.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬ ‭EEB

Grace morning on this meaningful and magnificent Monday.

We all go through disappointments and things we don’t understand, we make mistakes and bring trouble on ourselves, and we don’t see how we accomplish our dreams now. We feel like we’re in captivity, we’ve had these bad breaks. That bad break can’t stop you, how you were raised, even the mistake you made, that didn’t catch God off guard. He knew about it. He’s already taken it into account. That’s why we can stay in peace. That’s why we can sleep well at night. You’re not doing life on your own. You’re a part of much bigger plan, that God has purposed things for you that he started generations ago. Now, thoughts will whisper, “It’s nothing special about you. You’re not important. You’re just one of the 7 billion people on the earth”. No, God chose you to be here. He has an assignment for your life. You need to feel this sense of destiny, this sense of purpose. Your life matters. There’s something significant for you.

“You are the one who decides what will happen to me in my whole life. Save me from the power of my enemies and from the people who want to catch me.”

Grace morning on this serene and seismic Sunday.

It’s easy to worry about tomorrow, and how is everything going to work out, “I’m concerned about my children, my job. I have this problem at work”. The uncertainty can bring anxiety, where we live stressed and uptight. We look at things on the short term, but God’s been working on you for generations. He didn’t just start when you got here. Long before you were born he has lined up what you need, arranging things to fall into place so you can fulfill your purpose and assignment. God is way ahead of you. Before your father and mother even knew each other, God was working on your behalf, generations back, bringing everything into alignment, the right people, good breaks, solutions to problems, mercy for mistakes, grace for grief.

It’s already planned out. While many things that happened may have been a surprise to you, they were not at all to God. He knew exactly what trials and tribulations you were going to face. God had it already planned out before it began.

“God is able to make all things happen just like he decides. He chose us to be his own people, because we are united with Christ. In the beginning, God had already decided that this was his purpose.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭11‬ ‭EEB

Grace morning on this incredible and indescribable Saturday

God doesn’t send the difficulties, but He will use anything that comes into our lives. In those dark places is where you really grow, where your character is developed. When you trust God and lean on him, your spiritual muscles get stronger. In the dark places, you pray more, draw closer to God, get quiet and listen to what He’s saying. In those dark places, you reevaluate your priorities, spend time with your family, have a new appreciation for what God has given you. You may not realize it, but in the dark places you’re being blessed. There is something that is happening on the inside; it’s helping you to realign your vision. When you go through enough dark places, you don’t complain about small things.You’re not offended because a coworker was rude to you. You’ve been through too much to let that sour you. Don’t complain about the dark times; there are blessings in the dark places. God knows how to use affliction for your advantage.

“Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.”

Grace morning on this fresh and festive Friday.

Life is filled, flooded and fixed with situations that we don’t understand. The company was downsizing and you got laid off, a friend walked out of a relationship, now you’re having to start all over. All of us at some time will go through dark places: a loss, sickness, divorce, child that broke your heart. It’s easy to get discouraged, give up on your dreams and just settle there, but God uses the dark places; they are all a part of His divine plan. Think of your dark place as a seed; a seed cannot germinate in the light. As long as the seed stays up on a shelf, it will never become what it was created to be. A seed has to be in the soil, in the dark place, so that what’s on the inside will come to life. In the same way, there are seeds in you: dreams, goals, talent, potential, that will only come to light in a dark place.

Grace morning on this tranquil and thankful Thursday.

God will always have the right voices, voices that will keep you from making a mistake, voices to warn you, voices to encourage you, voices to push you into your destiny. But you have to be discerning: is this a voice I should be listening to? Is this voice telling me to get revenge, to gossip, to slack off? Or is it a voice that’s keeping me from a wrong choice, a voice is calling me up higher, a voice telling me what I can become? The enemy knows, if he can get in your ear, if he can deceive you into listening to wrong voices, then he can keep you from your destiny. If you’re not disciplined to tune out the wrong voices, then you’ll start making wrong choices. Pay attention to what you’re giving your attention to, who you’re allowing to influence you. When those thoughts come telling you what you can’t do, doubt, insecurity, lack, not enough – consider the source. Where are they coming from?

““Saul answered David,

You can’t go and fight this Philistine. You’re too young and inexperienced—and he’s been at this fighting business since before you were born.””

Grace morning on this wonderful and winsome Wednesday.

In life, you have to be careful of people that try to stir you up. Should be a red flag when someone comes and starts pointing out all the things that are wrong, blowing things out of proportion, knocking your balls, telling you what’s wrong with your life. Don’t take that bait. They’re so in discord, they’re trying to poison your spirit. That’s someone that wants to get you bent out of shape. They’re quick to give you advice. You have to consider the source. Do they have integrity? Are they a person of good character? Is there advice something you should take? There can be many different opinions, even things that on the surface seem right, looks like a good suggestion, but you need to ask God for discernment, because every good thing is not a God thing. Every piece of advice is not for you. And they can be good people, they have good intentions, but what they’re telling you may not be God’s plan for your life.

“Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on and manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate. For such persons loyally in love with God, the reward is life and more life.”

Grace morning on this tranquil and thankful Tuesday.

God will not speak to other people about your life without speaking to you. Even friends that love you, family members that want you to succeed, sometimes they don’t know the right thing. They’ll give you advice that’s not the best. In the Old Testament God spoke to the people through the prophets. They were dependent on certain people, the ones God had chosen to speak to them. But when Jesus died, we came out from under the old covenant into a better covenant. In this new covenant we don’t have to go to people to see what God says, the Holy Spirit lives on the inside of each one of us. He’s called your counselor, your guide, your advisor. He’ll give you advice. He’ll help you make the right choices. It’s not that God is not speaking to us, it’s that we’re so busy listening to others. You have to get rid of the wrong voices, then you’ll hear the right voices.

“If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help.”

Grace morning on this marvelous and meaningful Monday.

It’s so important who you’re taking advice from. We all have people that are influencing us, people that are in our ears. The question is: are they the right people? It would be best if you didn’t take advice from everyone.

You must look at their track record: and ask yourself, where are they in life? Have they made good decisions? Do they honor God? Do they have your best interests at heart? If you have the wrong voices, you will make bad choices. If you hang around friends that compromise and co-workers who gossip, those wrong voices will keep you from your potential. Pay attention to who you’re taking advice from. Some people have an opinion about everything; they’re quick to tell you how to run your life. Before you take that advice, you should consider the source. Do they have credibility?

Do they have good character and integrity? Are they a person of excellence? Be very selective, and pay attention to who you’re giving credibility to.

“Let my cry come right into your presence, God; provide me with the insight that comes only from your word.”

Grace morning on this serene and satisfying Sunday.

In the dark times, when life feels unfair, you have to remind yourself that God is still in control, and He doesn’t always show you what He’s up to. We all go through times that we don’t understand. We’re praying and believing, but our health isn’t improving, our finances haven’t turned around, like it’s never going to change; it’s a night season. In these nights seasons, you can’t see what God is doing; it doesn’t look like anything is happening, but God is working behind the scenes. He does His greatest work in the dark. He doesn’t always show you what He’s up to. it’s easy to trust Him when you’re getting good breaks, things are going great, but you have to learn to trust Him in the night seasons, when things aren’t going your way. When we are in difficult circumstances, sometimes it’s hard to see the hand of God working directly in your life. God works “behind the scenes,” unseen by most but there nonetheless.

“God is a strong place for us, where he will keep us safe. He will always help us when troubles come.”

Grace morning on this sensational and satisfying Saturday.

Having faith doesn’t exempt us from difficulties; the storms of life come to every person. God is in control in the bad times just as in the good times. He will not allow a storm unless He has a divine purpose for it;

He never said he’d prevent every difficulty, He promised He’ll use every difficulty.

God will direct the winds of the storm to blow you where he wants you to go. If you stay in faith, don’t get bitter and complain, those winds will blow you to a new level.

It may have been meant for your harm, but God knows how to shift the winds, and use them to blow you forward, so you come out better, stronger, and the storm will move you to a place of greater blessing and influence. Instead of using your faith to try to pray away difficulties, you should use it to believe that when the winds stop blowing you’ll be exactly where God wants you to be.

“Jesus said, “Get up, take your bedroll, start walking.” The man was healed on the spot. He picked up his bedroll and walked off. That day happened to be the Sabbath. The Jews stopped the healed man and said, “It’s the Sabbath. You can’t carry your bedroll around. It’s against the rules.””

Grace morning on this fantastic Friday.

God always makes the enemy pay for bringing the trouble. God never brings you out the same; God’s idea of restoring is to bring out you increased, promoted, having healthier, better relationships. Don’t go into depress mode when things continue to go wrong. You may be in a difficult time; this is not the time to get discouraged, “I don’t understand it, why did this happen?” no, the right attitude is, “I’m coming back stronger. Try thanking God, that your surge is on the way, propelling you to a new level.”God knows how to take the same winds that were meant to stop you, and uses to propel you. The evil enemy meant it for harm, but God shifted the winds in your favor during your storm. The decrease is a sign that you’re about to go where you’ve never been. The enemy wouldn’t be fighting you so hard if there wasn’t something amazing in front of you. Stay engaged encouraged and enthuasitic, because the surge is coming.

“Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! When someone respects the Lord with fear, God has blessed that person! He is happy to obey the Lord's commands.”

When you go through a storm, you feel like you’re being pulled back. You know what God promised, that He would use it for your good, you know what’s been predicted, but in the storm you’re going the wrong way, you’re being decreased, it’s not like what He said. The thing you can’t see is, a surge is coming: a surge of favor, strength, healing. if you will stay in faith, God will always follow up the storm with the surge. God doesn’t punish us with the storms of life, but he does ride them out with us. He can use them to refine and remodel you through the process. Maybe you’re living through a storm. Maybe the rains haven’t let up in your life for longer than you care to remember. Maybe what began as an annoyance or small problem has turned into much more. Maybe you’ve been caught by a sudden, raging storm that’s showing no signs of letting up. Trust God to bring you through.

But you have to remember: God is still on the throne. The enemy didn’t take control of your life. God is yet going to fill your mouth with laughter. He’s still going to your home with armloads of blessings. You’re coming out, not the same way you were, but stronger, healthier, promoted, at a new level of your destiny. When you are facing a raging storm on all sides, peace from God is a welcomed gift! In the midst of your broken heart, He can and will give you peace. God wants you to trust Him. Sometimes you can’t carry the weight of what you’re under, you can’t carry the pressure. God knows when pressure is strong, the weight heavy that you can’t carry it by yourself. God will make you complete and supply all your needs!

You may dealing with something heavy on you today, like you’re carrying sorrow, carrying pain. God’s Grace can do an exchange: instead of carrying the pain, the hurt from the breakup, carrying the loneliness, how about someone great walking into your life? Now you’re laughing, now you’re dreaming, now you’re living an victorious life. That’s how good God is! You go out with a heavy heart, and you come back laughing, loaded down with blessings, with favor, with peace, with victory. God won’t let you get in a problem that he can’t bring you out of. The enemy is not in control of your life, God is. Satan had to ask God for permission to test Job. There’s a bloodline around your life that the enemy cannot cross without God’s permission. That’s why you can stay in peace even in times of trouble. Sometimes it’s simply a test: how you respond in suffering seasons, in seasons of struggle, doing the right thing, even wrong thing is returned.

Grace morning on this marvelous and meaningful Monday.

You’re inner life is more important than your outer life. What’s going on in your emotions, how you feel about yourself, what you’re allowing to play in your mind, that’s affecting what’s happening on the outside. You wake up in the morning, you wonder, “Why you’re still tired? Why you don’t have any energy”? It’s because your mind worked all night. Your body laid there, but your mind wrestled, wondered, worked, reasoned, “What if? How could i? What may happen”? You’re trying to control things that you can’t control, trying to fix people that you can’t fix, worried about a problem that may not even happen. Or even bitter over something that took place 20 years ago. You can’t take in all those toxins and not be poisoned. You can’t let anger, unforgiveness, guilt, worry dominate your life. If you’ll get your soul healthy, you’ll get your energy back. If you’ll quit letting the negative emotions rule, then many of these physical ailments will go, it’s all interconnected.

In life, we spend a lot of time and energy taking care of our physical body, we try to eat right, exercise, and get enough sleep. That’s all important, we want to feel good, but we don’t spend enough time taking care of our souls. We don’t realize how much our emotions, our attitudes, and our thoughts are affecting us physically.

If your soul is unhealthy, it’s going to spill over to the physical. If you’re living stressed, worried, bitter, guilty, and angry, those negative emotions are not just affecting your relationships, they’re weakening your immune system. Your cells not fighting off sickness as they should. 90% of all doctor's visits to a primary care physician are stress related. You can’t sleep at night, your food won’t digest, and you have ulcers. Much of that goes back to your soul not being healthy. You’re worried night and day about that child stressed over your finances and holding a grudge over that person that did you wrong. All that negative energy is poisoning your soul.

There are times when life throws us a baffling blow, sometime all you can do is weep. But know this: when you’re heartbroken God feels it, when you don’t think you can go on, you feel overwhelmed, God is right there with you. The scripture says, “He’s close to the brokenhearted”. Being heartbroken is not how your story ends. I love what Jesus promised: blessed are those who weep, for in due time you will laugh. It seems like he would say, “You’re blessed when the problem turns around, not when you weep. You’re blessed when you’re promoted, you’re blessed when the healing comes”, but he said, “You’re blessed when you weep, when your heart is broken, when the load seems too heavy”. Those tears are painful, but God can fill your mouth with laughter. When you’re in those suffering seasons, those weeping seasons, those seasons of struggle, you need to keep God’s promise in your spirit: I may be weeping now, but I know joy is coming.

In Life seasons of suffering, seasons of struggle something is happening on the inside of you. There’s a strength, a perseverance, a resolve that’s being developed. If you have the right attitude, you’re learning to trust God in a greater way. Even when you feel weak, when you don’t think you have the faith, God is using that struggle in ways that you can’t see. It’s not working against you, it’s working for you. It’s getting you prepared for something amazing that’s coming. When you trust, you go to God when life is hard. You also act on obedience and trust that He will ultimately take care of the rest. In trust, you do not look for security in other things; you look to God to hold you securely in difficult circumstances. You won’t do this perfectly, but God is kind and patient with you while you learn to trust Him. Don’t let your emotions rule your life; bring them to God, and He will strengthen you.

“Every time that I am upset, you know about it. Put all my tears in your bottle! Yes, write down every tear in your book. When I call to you for help, my enemies will turn back. I am sure of this: God is with me, to fight for me.”

God has already scheduled you a time to end your suffering. He also has a time to end the heartache, to bring you out of what’s held you captive, to turn around what’s causing the tears. God is not going to let someone continue to mistreat you, to keep you at a disadvantage, where that burden, and heaviness becomes permanent. You may not be able to do anything about it, it’s too much for you, but it’s not too much for God. One tiny touch of his favor, and things will shift, chains will break, that child will turn around, that sickness will come to an end. God can turn things in your life, turn problems around, turn loneliness around, turn finances around, turn your health around. God is so merciful, he’s not going to let the suffering continue. You may go through seasons of sorrow, you don’t understand, but it’s only a season, it’s not permanent, it’s not going to last a lifetime.

You may go through seasons of weeping, seasons of sorrow, it’s not fair, you don’t understand, but it’s only a season, it’s not permanent, it’s not going to last a lifetime. You might not see how your situation could ever work out. You might be thinking, With what I’ve been through, with what I’m up against now, how could I ever be happy again”? You’re looking at it in the natural, God is not going to leave you in a broken place, a wounded place, a lonely place. He wouldn’t have allowed the suffering if he wasn’t going to bring you out better. The greater the adversity, the greater the joy. The greater the suffering, the greater the blessing. The suffering is not forever. It won’t be long before God will have you back on your feet.

There are times in life that the pressure is so great, the lost is so heavy, the disappointment is so discouraging, we don’t think we can go on. David said, in Psalms 30:5: “Weeping may endure for a night”. You may go through a season of weeping, something that’s break a heart, feels too much to carry. Weeping is not a lack of faith, doesn’t mean you’re not tough enough, it means that your heart is working, it means that you care deeply. The Good News: Even when it seems like you can't go another day against your struggles, God will grant you renewed strength to keep pushing on. He is there for you even in your weakest moments, just as long as you are willing to let Him in. You can be confident that God will not allow anything to happen to you without His permission, and He will not let any “bad thing” happen that will not ultimately bring you more good than destruction.

“Friends, when life gets really difficult, don’t jump to the conclusion that God isn’t on the job. Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.”

You may be in a season of suffering, season of struggle, you feel stuck in your health, your marriage, your finances, seems like it’s never going to get better. God himself can step in and do what only he can do. When you see how he restores you, brings you out better, your mourning is going to be turned to dancing, your sorrow turn to joy. Don’t listen to the voices, that say, you’ll always be lonely, you’ll always mourn over that loss, always be brokenhearted over that child. Your time is right around the corner. The Psalmist said, “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy is coming in the morning”. Notice, weeping may endure. “May” means it’s not certain, it’s questionable. But here’s the promise: joy is coming. Not maybe, not hope so, there’s a good chance. “For A Night” suggest that weeping comes with a overnight backpack. It has to leave when morning comes. The Eternal God says, “Joy is on the way”.

“Our enemies asked us to sing songs for them there. They laughed at us as their prisoners. They asked for a song to make them happy. They shouted, ‘Sing us a song about Zion!’”

It’s easy to think that the suffering, the struggle, the weeping is the way it’s always going to be. God never promised that we wouldn’t have seasons of weeping, seasons of struggle. The promise God makes us is: the suffering is only a season, the weeping is not how your story ends. You’re going to laugh again. God sees what you’re going through, the relationship that abruptly ended, the addiction that attacked your family, the ill advised decision you made, may have snatched your smile and laughter. God knows what wasn’t fair, the lonely nights, the pain, the heartache. You may have felt alone, but he’s been right there with you. The good news is: he’s not going to leave you in suffering, life in shambles, he’s not going to leave you brokenhearted, weighed down with burdens.

“You’re blessed when you’ve lost it all. God’s kingdom is there for the finding. You’re blessed when you’re ravenously hungry. Then you’re ready for the Messianic meal. You’re blessed when the tears flow freely. Joy comes with the morning.”

Grace morning on this super sensational Saturday.

God is looking for uncommon people, that don’t go with the majority, don’t lower their standards, that go against the grain, have uncommon faith, believe when it seems impossible. uncommon commitment; do the right thing when it’s hard. Have a uncommon attitude; when everyone around is negative, bitter, moody, you have a smile, you’re kind, goodnatured. God wants you to stand out. When people look at you, they should say, “there’s something different about him/her. They’re a cut above; excellent, trustworthy, committed, loyal, happy.” What they’re really saying is, “you’re uncommon. When you decide to not fit in, be like everyone else, but to be uncommon, then you will see uncommon favor, opportunities, breakthroughs, victories. You can’t live an extraordinary life if you aren’t even expecting it. Average faith says, “I hope I can make my monthly payments.” An uncommon faith says, “God, I believe I’ll pay the whole thing off!” If you’re not careful, you could adapt to the environment, and become like everybody else.

““Don’t look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don’t fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.”

Grace morning on this fresh and fantastic Friday.

God has opportunities, resources, people, and wisdom, that can move you further than you thought possible. But there is one requirement, and that is that you can’t be common; you have to be willing to do what others won’t do, make sacrifices that others won’t make, and resist temptation when others are giving in. The good news is, nothing you’re facing is too much for you to handle. For every struggle, and difficulty, God has given you the grace to overcome. God has given you the inward capacity to be tenacious against setbacks. It takes discipline, it’s uncomfortable, and your flesh will tell you to give in and do what everyone else is doing. Being uncommon when life's trials are screaming be common, is no small task. It’s easy to fit in and do what everyone else is doing: our neighbors complain, so we complain, our co-workers show up late, so we show up late. Don’t let a temporary period of being uncomfortable to keep you being blessed.

“Do not become like the people who belong to this world. But let God completely change the way that you think, so that you live differently. Then you will understand what God wants you to do. You will know what is good. You will know what pleases God. You will know what is completely right.”

God knows what you need, when you need it, and how to get it to you. The plethora of problems you’re concerned about, that’s robbing you of sleep, God has the answer already. Instead of worrying, all through the day, try remembering, relying and reminiscing on the rewards that releases in the midst of your breakthrough. Everything you need to fulfill your destiny is already lined up. It may not have happened yet, but if you’ll stay in faith, God has ordained your breakthrough. God who can do anything. Nothing is too difficult for Him. When there are obstacles and enemies and problems all around us… God does His best work. He specializes in miraculous breakthroughs. God desires to produce breakthroughs in our lives. So many live life in a prison of unforgiveness and bitterness and guilt and shame and despair. God wants to breakthrough those walls that keep you incarcerated so that you can really live the abundant life and experience His joy, peace and power.

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

Grace morning on this wonderful and winsome Wednesday.

Throughout our lives, we can be assured that at some point we will encounter a storm. Not just a physical storm but a spiritual one. It may come in the form of a tragic event, a deep wound inflicted by another, the effects of our own sin or some other painful experience. And for many people, this will happen more than once. Facing the storms in life with faith is transforming. And often it appears that God is ignoring our stress call. The reason is that He wants us to trust Him. Too often we turn our eyes to the storm itself and allow fear and anxiety to dominate our lives. But every storm you encounter is an opportunity to trust Him on a new and deeper level. If life were always easy and consoling then you would have little reason to trust deeply. Therefore, every storm must be seen as an opportunity for tremendous favor as you place your trust in God, despite how things appear. “Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Then come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.” TPT

How many times have you been in the darkness and couldn’t see how you would get through it? A financial devastation? A broken relationship? A career challenge? A health crisis? Life can get so routine, that you’re not really releasing your faith. You’ve been lulled into thinking, “it’s never going to happen for me, it’s been so long, I’ll never get the promotion, meet the right person.” God has already designated moments of favor for you. He’s already set the times; you’re living in one of those right now, a set time of acceleration, greater influence. You can trust God on sunny days and on the dark days. You can trust Him to never leave you nor forsake you, and to guide you in the way you should go. As long as you have breath, placed your trust in Him. Trusting God is like riding a train through a dark tunnel and trusting the Driver of the train to bring you out on the other side.

What’s life without adversity, right? There are times in our lives when our plan may not be going the way we expected. During adversity, it’s important to realign your life and figure out how to stay positive and move forward. Life includes many challenges; it’s how you rise to overcome those challenges with strength and positivity. Who you spend your time with and where you spend your time can have a significant impact on how you handle certain situations. It’s important to surround yourself with people who share your values and promote positivity. Environment has a significant impact on your attitude and the energy you attract. Sometimes our rock-bottom moments can act as a springboard to launch us toward self-improvement. Whatever you are going through, think of what it has taught you. How you can transform this challenge into an opportunity? If you look back over the course of your life, you will recognize that every period of intense pain and discomfort almost always preceded unprecedented growth.

“You must remain in me, and my teaching must remain in you. Then you may ask for anything that you want. God will do it for you.”

Grace morning on this serene and satisfying Sunday.

Life has its ups and downs. We’ve all been there. Rock bottom. The end of our rope. The last straw. During hard times, it often seems like the only option is to throw in the towel. There’s a benefit to overcoming adversity. When you make your way through tough times, you’ll become stronger and more successful in life. That’s why the phrase “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger” really does ring true.

The wisest and most well-rounded people you meet are usually those who have gone through tough times themselves. They have overcome challenges and they have great stories to tell. They have experience ups and downs, and have gain a better appreciation and understanding of life. When you realize that life is hard, you’ll fill your life with more compassion, understanding, and wisdom.

Hard times will help you become stronger because you know life is tough but God has made you tougher. Keep a positive outlook on life because in some cases, it can’t get any worse.

“Elisha said to her, ‘How can I help you? Tell me, what things do you have in your house?’ She said to Elisha, ‘Please sir, I have nothing in the house. All I have is a small jar of olive oil.’”

Life can easily become complicated when saturated with a series of issues. So, it’s easy to go through life worried about how you’re going to accomplish a goal, get out of a problem, meet the right person. You start looking at all the reasons why it’s not going to work out. When God laid out the plan for your life, He lined up everything you need to fulfill your destiny: every good break, person, solution. He’s already set up the promotion, the problem you don’t think will turn around; He’s already set up the answer. it’s not a surprise to Him; He had the solution before you had the problem. The desires that God put in your heart, seems so unlikely; God wouldn’t have given you the vision and not made a way to bring it to pass. It’s already in your future, waiting for you. The challenge for you is to stay in faith, and not let negative voices talk you out of it.

The storms of life test you and refine you. If you trust God, the storms of life make you stronger. Therefore, we should not flinch in the face of adversity. While there’s no way to avoid sorrow, adversity, or distress in life, there are ways to help smooth the rough waters and regain a sense of control. Unwavering trust in God help you to cope with the loss, change, and trauma that have been inevitable parts of life. Unfortunately, a number of christian believers today seem to have the expectation that when a person believes in Jesus, life will get easier and more comfortable, and God will protect them from the hassles and difficulties that happen in life. We all go through bad times, we all experience disappointment, loss, and change, and we all feel sad, anxious, and stressed at various times in our lives. Trusting God can help you to maintain a positive outlook, face an uncertain future with less fear, and get through even the darkest days.

Grace morning on this triumphant and thankful Thursday.

In life, you never know who is watching or observing your situation. Your ability to face adversity could very well inspire someone else. This, in turn, can impact countless other lives in the future. For better or for worse, each and every decision you make impacts other people, whether directly or indirectly. The ability to be resilient in the face of adversity can teach someone else who may also be dealing with challenges in their own life. One way or another, each one of us will face adversity in life. The extent adversity often vary; however, the great equalizer is the importance of maintaining resilience in the face of adversity. One of the greatest ways to become resilient when confronted by adversity is to view the confrontation as an opening for personal development. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what your situation is, room for improvement is always present. Believe it or not, growth comes from dealing with obstacles, not when everything is smooth-sailing.

“We receive trouble all the time, but that does not stop us. We do not always know what to do, but we are not afraid to continue. We have many enemies, but we always have friends. People hurt us, but they never destroy us.”

Don’t miss your greatness because you’re dependent on people approving you. Don’t shrink back and let your dreams die stillborn, because you’re worried about what people may think, what people may say, how people may not accept you. If you try to please everyone, win their approval, you’ll not only miss the new levels that belong to you, but you’ll miss the joy, the peace, the victory of this day. The problem with living for approval is you can lose who you really are. We’re so busy trying to be what everyone else wants us to be, that’s when life gets confusing. You have to do like Paul, and search your own heart. When your conscience is clear, when you know where God is leading you, follow that still small voice, don’t get distracted trying to get everyone on board. It’s a lot of pressure living to try to please people, convince them to be for you, so you can pursue what’s in your heart.

Some people are born with super-thick skin and have the innate ability to resist seeking the approval of others. Yet there are those of us who’ve struggled with people-pleasing most of our lives. We sometimes forget the most important stamp of approval comes from God.

Don’t live to please people, live to please God. He’s the one that holds your destiny. Promotion doesn’t come from people, it comes from the Lord. How much time and energy are you spending, trying to get approval, trying to be well liked, trying to keep friends impressed, and stay in this coworker’s favor? Take the pressure off. You can’t follow what God put in your heart if you’re always trying to play up to people, “What will they think? What if they don’t approve”? A much better question is, “What will God think”? I’d much rather spend my time pleasing him, than trying to please people. No matter how you came into this world, you know that God planned for you to be here for such as time as this. It does not matter what you have been told by others. Even if your parents have called you an accident, know that you are not one. God knew you before you were formed in your mother’s womb.

God is always at work with us to bring good from the ashes of our struggles. This view will help you spend less time on the puzzle of why suffering happens, while finding more energy and nerve to engage the suffering with God’s love. When you stop blaming others for the suffering and become more focused on God’s active presence in suffering places, it opened the door to discover more fully how great God is. It’s easy to get satisfied where you are. When you’ve seen blessings, you can start thinking that you’ve seen your best days. But God never does his greatest feats in your yesterdays, they are always in your future.

What God has in front of you is more rewarding than anything you’ve seen.

But sometimes before it gets brighter, it gets darker. Before you see more than enough, you go through a season of not enough.

There are times the good has to come to an end to make room for the best.

God has unlimited supplies. According to the prophet Elisa in 2 Kings 4:3, the prophet told the widow to borrow empty jars. He said, “borrow not a few.” The widow determined how much oil she would have by how many containers she borrowed; it wasn’t up to God how much she increased; God has an unlimited supply. God filled every jar that she borrowed. How many containers are you borrowing? What kind of vision do you have for your life? Some people have a barely-get-by container; they think, “business is so slow, I’m hoping just to make it through this year,” they’ve got a small container. God says, “Alright, I’ll fill your barely-get-by container”; God can do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond; He is El Shaddai, the God of more than enough; make room for the favor, position yourself under the open windows of heaven. God can fill your containers as you trust him. Your drought season is in delay mode, not deny mode.

You will not see increase if you’re stuck in old ways of thinking”; if you think your obstacles are too big, then they are, you are setting the limits to your life with your thinking, you’ve gotta stretch your faith, God has unlimited supplies, the only thing that limits Him is our ability to receive; if I had 50 gallons of water to give you, but you only had a 2 gallon container, the problem is not with the supply, it’s with your ability to receive; get something larger, you can receive more; it’s the same principle with God. You have to get rid of that 2-gallon bucket, the God we serve is a big God, He has an ocean, an unlimited supply.

When life feels out of control, it can be comforting to remember that we're never out of the sight of our Creator—and he never loses control. In order to feel God’s presence, you have to Clear out the doubt. Clear out what people upset you. Clear out that bitterness, that mediocrity. Nothing that’s happened to you has stopped God’s purpose for your life. As your faith increases your vision clears, you’ll start moving in to the new levels of flavor, and blessings that belong to you. God has given us several incredible promises. In Isaiah 54:17; He said, “No weapon formed against you will prosper”. God uses your faith to mold your character. Character is the manifestation of what you are becoming. Strong moral character results from consistent correct choices in the trials and testing of life. Your faith can guide you to those correct choices. Clearly, it is what you do and what you think about that determine what you are and what you will become.

God has given you gifts and talents, he’s lined up the good breaks, the right people, everything you need to fulfill your purpose. But sometime, you’re not seeing your greatness because your vision is limited. We’ve let how we were raised, what someone said, the bad break, the betrayal, cloud our future. The problem is not with who you are, It’s with what you can see. If you’re going to reach your potential, you have to make sure your inter-vision is working. You have to constantly be clearing out things that are hindering your vision. Maybe you got off course, and you made some mistakes, and now guilt and shame will try to block your vision. “You don’t deserve to blessed. Look what you did. You’re unworthy. Just accept where you are”. God’s mercy is bigger than your mistakes. He doesn’t remember the negative things of your past. You’ve been through disappointments, things didn’t work out, people did you wrong. It’s easy to let that hinder your vision.

“I pray that God will bring light into your minds. Then you will understand about the many good things that he has prepared for you. You know that you will receive those things because he has chosen you to be his people. God has prepared very valuable things for you in heaven.”

When you mapped out your travel trip, you want to know where it will start, where it end, where you will stop along the way, and exactly how long it will take. Many of us approach our lives in the same way—we try to plan out all the details in advance; we want to know all the answers before we begin the journey. However, God does not reveal His vision for our lives all at once. God reveals His vision when He knows we are ready and able to receive it. The pictures you keep in front of you, in your imagination, that’s what you’re moving toward. Your inner vision is setting the limits for your life. You may struggle with low self-esteem, sometimes you feel inferior, like you don’t measure up, you have to change that picture. God calls you a masterpiece, one of a kind. If you’ll change your pictures, you’ll change your life. If you’ll have the right inner vision, see yourself strong and favored.

One of the hardest challenges of the Christian Believer is for God to answer your prayers when you urgently need him to intervene in a circumstance that is breaking your heart, testing your faith, and robbing you of peace and joy. Many people are not reaching their potential not because they’re not talented, not because they don’t have favor, it’s because their vision is limited. They don’t see themselves accomplishing their dreams, being blessed and living healthy. But you will never rise any higher than the way you see yourself. Through your eyes of faith, you need to see yourself the way you want to be. You may be sinking financially, you need to see yourself out of debt, with an abundance, being a blessing to others. If you’re dealing with an addiction, don’t let that negative image take root. Don’t see yourself defeated, dysfunctional, can’t break it. Get a new image. See yourself free.

God’s idea of freedom is to not make you more comfortable in dysfunction. It’s to free you from the dysfunction. It’s to set you on a whole new path, to where you look back and say, “That lingering disorder is no longer lingering, it’s gone. I’m free, I’m healed, I’m confident. My marriage is healthy. My children are blessed. My career is flourishing. My mind is at peace. I’m full of joy, fulfilling my purpose”. God’s going to put an end to things that are draining your joy, stealing your creativity, keeping you from walking in the fullness of the blessing of God. Because it’s one thing to be blessed, but then to have something where you can’t really enjoy the blessing. There’s family trouble, an addiction, a worried mindset, regrets from the past. Frustration with how your life is not going. You might be there now, but that’s not how your story ends. God knows exactly what’s hindering you. God know how and when to turn things around.

If it’s one thing that life teaches us, is how nothing is permanent in this world. Regardless how bad things are, It’s never too late for God to turn it around. Thoughts tell you, “You’ll always struggle with your self image. You’re always going to feel inferior, not valuable”. Don’t believe those lies. Your time is coming. God has not forgotten about you. He’s already headed your way. That problem that’s hindered you for so long is about to suddenly turn around. The loneliness, the financial difficulty, the relationship issue, God is able to do what you never saw coming. Life is too short to have things lingering that are holding you back. Sometimes, we don’t realize how restricted we are, and how constrained we become. We’ve gotten so used to lingering with disorders. One touch from God can be difference maker. You’re not going to go through another year being confined, restricted, limited. God is doing a new thing. You can to rise above it all.

How many times have you felt like just throwing in the towel ? You’ve had to deal with a lingering disorder. The Problem that wouldn’t go away. The anxiety, the trouble in your marriage, the addiction, the sicknes, the hurt, the pain, the lost of sleep. You’ve done your best. God knows, you prayed, you stood in faith, you said you weren’t going to give in to the temptation, but you weren’t strong enough. You weren’t complacent, complaining nor competing. You still showed up at work. You still came to church. You still volunteered. You were still good to others, all the while dealing with the lingering disorder. Maybe nobody can see it. It’s the hurt, the pain from the trauma of the past. God is full of mercy. He knows the weight of what you’re carrying. He knows the struggle, the sacrifice, how you’re doing your best to keep it all together. God see you carrying the load of others when you need to be carried.

“The next day, the man from Samaria took out two silver coins from his purse. He gave the money to the man that was taking care of the hotel. “Be kind to this man for me,” he said. “This money may not be enough. When I return, I will pay you for any more that you have spent on him.” ’”

God in his mercy can release you from every bondage, free you from every restriction. When you line-up under the word God, you can step in to a new level of freedom, peace, productivity, fulfillment. Things that were slowing you down, draining your joy, taking your creativity, those forces can be broken. Now, you have to do your part and get an agreement with God.. Don’t go into a new year, thinking with an old mindset, saying, “I’ve been wrestling depression, loneliness, this hurt for a long time. I think it’s always going to limit me.” Those are bondages the enemy uses to try to keep you from your destiny. The good news is: the enemy is not in control of your life – God is. He’s the chain breaker, he’s the burden remover, he’s the yoke destroyer. Victory starts in our mind, starts in our thinking. The right attitude is, “I’m supposed to be free. I’m supposed to be blessed. I’m supposed to be victorious”.

“Jesus saw this man. He knew that the man had been ill like this for a very long time. So he asked the man, ‘Do you want to get well?’”

God created you to be the head and not the tail. To be above and not beneath. Not bound by worry, depression, being mistreated.” God created you to be unquestionably free. There are those times and seasons in our life, when we have to accept the odds are against you. God can step in and brake the chains and hold your enemies at bay. When God says, “It’s your time to be free”. All the forces of darkness cannot stop him. Now, you may not see a way. God is saying to you, “I’ve seen your affliction. I’ve seen what you’ve struggled. I’ve seen those that have broke your heart. I’ve seen the worry, the heaviness that follows you around. I’ve seen the lonely nights, the tears, the suffering, and I am coming to put an end to it. Not just make it better. Not just help you get through it. You’re going to be unquestionably free.” No more living depressed, defeated, as if you're disconnected from life.

When you struggled in an area for a long time, it’s easy to accept that that’s the way it’s always going to be. You did everything you could. You prayed, you stood in faith, but nothing changed. Now, you’re thinking, “I’ll always have this problem. I’ll always struggle in my finances. I’ll always have to deal with this depression, this anxiety, this trouble at work”. You’re functioning, you’re making it, but it’s restricting your joy and limiting your growth. Perhaps you have struggled to forgive the person that hurt you. You have good intentions, but you can’t get passed it. You still have this bitterness, this anger toward them. If the truth be told it’s keeping you from moving forward. God didn’t create us to be partially free, to be almost free, to be better than we used to be. The things that are hindering you, that are keeping you from your potential, they are not permanent. God is able to do something new in your life.

“Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you really will be free.”

We are not immune to discouragement as Christians, but God is there to help us overcome it. It’s hard to believe that anything good can happen in your life when you are facing discouragement because of a particular issue. God not only gives you rest from discouragement, but He also encourages you and gives you hope. Difficult seasons in our lives will leave us feeling discouraged. God has given us His Word to encourage us and rekindle the dying fire of our faith. By meditating on the Word of God, you will find refuge from some of the darkest times in your life. Discouragement can set in due to a number of reasons, many of which are beyond our control. Discouragement leaves us feeling down, and we have a hard time putting a smile on our faces. It’s not God’s will for us to be burdened by feelings of discouragement because they negatively affect our faith in Him. Jesus invites us to bring our heavy burdens to him.

When we go through hard times, it can feel like trouble is all we have known our entire lives. It may even feel like it will never end. God doesn’t send difficulties, but He will use anything that comes into our lives. In those dark places is where we really grow, where our character is developed. We learn to trust, persevere; our spiritual muscles are getting stronger. Tough times don't last but tough people do! Just as the joyous times of life are part of life, so are the difficult, hard, and dark times. The truth of that matter is that no one is exempt from troubles and challenges during the course of life. Although when we are facing hard times, it may appear as if everyone else is doing just fine, this is not the case. When you trust, you go to God and His word when life is hard. You also act on obedience and trust that He will ultimately take care of the rest.

“Do any of you respect the Lord with fear? Do any of you obey his servant's message? Are you walking in a place that is completely dark, where there is no light? Then you should trust in the Lord as the God who will help you.”

God knows everything, He knows what has happened, He knows what is happening and He knows what will happen. Nothing is hidden from Him. He has promised no temptation will come into our lives beyond our ability to bear and when the storms do hit, He will provide a way out. We stand on the promises of God. We are told we have not because we ask not. God is our Father and He loves us with an everlasting love. He does what He says and He never goes back on His Word. Knowing that then, we can stand on God’s Word and know with certainty that what He says will come to pass. God makes a way where there was no way. He stops raging storms, With God, we have everything we need, with God we have a shelter of protection. When everything and everyone is unreliable, we can trust in God, we can hold on to His promises because we know He is a promise-keeper.

“You Lord have been a safe place for poor people. When helpless people were in trouble, you have kept them safe. You were a place for them to hide from the storm. You gave them shade from the heat. Yes, cruel people attack them like a storm that hits against a wall.”

Are you wearing labels that are limiting you: “Average”, “Not talented”, “Unattractive”, “Dysfunctional”? Who put those labels on you? Who told you that was you? Quit letting other people define you, and go back to who God says you are. People will tell you that you’re not good enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough, not talented enough. Why don’t you take that label off, and put on a new one: “Fearfully and wonderfully made”, “One of a kind”, “Strong”, “Talented”, “Successful”? You are not who people say you are. You are not limited by how you were raised. You are not what your feelings say you are. Your feelings don’t always tell the truth. You may feel weak, insecure, not valuable, not qualified, but don’t let your feelings determine your identity. Feelings are fickle, feelings will come and go. You have to go back to what your Creator says. He calls you a mighty hero. He calls you a barrier breaker, a giant-killer, a prized possession.

““Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you: A prophet to the nations— that’s what I had in mind for you.””

Don’t let life, people, disappointments convince you that you’re just a average, nothing special about you. You have royal blood flowing through your veins. God has crowned you with his favor. He doesn’t call the rocky mountains a masterpiece. Doesn’t call the solar system a masterpiece. He didn’t call that beautiful sunset a masterpiece.

He calls you a masterpiece. He calls you his most prized creation. Many of us waste time worrying about what other people think of us. We want to be valued, loved, respected, and admired. But why base our identity and sense of self-worth on the opinions of other flawed beings when God’s view of us is the only one that truly matters? The most important question we can ask concerning our identity is this: Who does God say I am? The Bible contains the only reliable answers about who we are in Christ and what God thinks of us who have been born again. First and foremost, God says I am His beloved child.

“Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ’s sacred blood, you know.”

It’s easy to go through life being defined by how you were raised, mistakes you’ve made. If you’re not careful, you end up wearing labels that read “Average”, “Not talented”, “Unattractive”,

Too short, tall, small, large”. This distorted image is keeping you from who God created you to be. How you see yourself will determine how high you will go. And it’s possible to live your whole life, and never recognize who you were created to be. Before you were formed in your mother’s womb, God knew you. Before you showed up on planet earth, God already decided who you would be. He already laid out a plan, path and purpose for your life. God didn’t create anyone average. He calls you a masterpiece, he put greatness in you. There is potential on the inside, you’ve not yet tapped into. But if this is going to happen, you can’t get hung up on being labeled. Don’t let a distorted image of who you are keep you from your purpose.

When you’re in difficult times and life has thrown you a crucial and colossal curve, you look back at what used to be, and think about how debilitating, and depressing it was. It’s tempting to be negative, discouraged, talk about how it used to be. When you could have been thanking God that he was going to bring you out, instead, you spent that time weeping, discouraged over what you had lost. The presence of God during moments of life’s turmoils gives us hope and the courage to endure. When everything is raging on the outside, when inside we are falling apart, when everyone seems to be against us; never forget that God’s got you. His hands are on you always, He is holding you by the hand, He is directing you in the right path, He is removing obstacles, God is removing all the trash, that have been swept in by the strong and chilly winds of trials, trouble, and temptations you’ve had to go through.

When you praise God in the midst of trouble, when you talk about God’s goodness, when you don’t see how it can work out, when you send sweet-smelling aromas while you’re surrounded by things that smell terrible, that’s when God go to work. If God will cause a whale to take Jonah to the shore, so he can fulfill his destiny, even after he made mistakes, God will cause your child to get back on course. God will cause that medical report to turn around. God will cause you to break the addiction, to meet the right person, to get that promotion. You have to be careful what you sending up? When you send up complaints, doubts, worry, it’s the wrong aroma of praise. Send up faith, send up hope. “Lord, thank you that there’s nothing too hard for you. That what you have purposed for my life will come to pass. In the darkest hour of your journey, when it seem all hope is lost, turn your praise on and watch God work.

The scripture talks about making melody in your heart”. Some people are making sadness, thinking about what they’ve been through, what wasn’t fair, what they lost, that’s drawing in more sadness, more discouragement. Other people are making worry, playing all the negative thoughts over and over, “What if it doesn’t work out? What if I don’t the position? I’ll never get out of this problem”. That’s drawn in more stress, more heaviness. Why not start making melody? Start having a song of praise in your heart. Instead of “it’s a pain to go to work”, “Lord, thank you that I have this job”. “Lord, thank you that you’re my provider, that you make streams in the desert”. “Yeah, the medical report’s not good.”No, “Lord, thank you that you’re restoring health back into me”. What are you sending up? Odors or aromas? What are you creating? An atmosphere of doubt, worry, mediocrity, or an atmosphere of praise, an atmosphere of victory, an atmosphere of abundance?

Instead of a sweet-smelling aroma, grateful, good natured, joyful, they’re putting out an odor. Their attitude is sour, their words are negative, they’re focused on what’s wrong, they’re expecting the worst. Don’t let what you’re putting out keep you from your potential. Instead of worrying, living stress, start believing that God is in control, thanking him that he’s working out his plan for your life. God is attracted to praise. Try saying, “Lord, thank you for waking me up this morning. Thank you for giving me breath to breathe. Thank you that I’m healthy. Thank you for my family, for opportunity, for protection, for favor.” That’s creating an atmosphere of praise. If you want to attract favor, joy, peace, creativity, start sending up some praise. Start thanking God for what he’s done. Start bragging on his goodness. Start declaring his victory over your life.

When life becomes rough, ragged and rugged, and you’re up challenges that seem too big, dreams that look impossible. Step back when you’re tempted to worry, live stress, complain. The best thing you can do is give God praise. It may be too much for you, but it’s not too much for him. David said, “magnify the Lord with me.” Don’t magnify your problems. Magnify your God. Don’t magnify your predicament, Magnify your God. Don’t magnify your pain, Magnify your God. Thank him for who he is. “Lord, I thank you that you’re the all-powerful creator of the universe. God, I thank you that you’re the great I am. You’re my provider, my healer, my protector, my deliverer, my way maker.” That’s what causes God to show up. Not begging him, “God, you’ve gotta do something.” Not complaining, “It’s not fair”. Not worrying, “What am I going to do?” That’s attracting the wrong things. Switch over into praise. That’s what attracts the most powerful force in the universe.

“But as for me, I will sing to thank you. I will offer a sacrifice to you. I will do everything that I have promised to do. The Lord is the one who saves people!’ Then the Lord told the great fish to spit Jonah out from its stomach. So it dropped Jonah onto the shore.”

In life pay attention to what kind of atmosphere you’re creating. You can’t complain and see breakthroughs. You can’t go around talking about problems, how’s it not going to work out, who is hindering you to reach your potential. That negative atmosphere will stop your victory. The scripture (Psalm 22:3) says that “God inhabits the praises of his people.” He doesn’t inhabit complaints. He doesn’t inhabit frustration, depression, worry, “Why is this taking so long? That doesn’t get God’s attention. But when he hears you talking about his greatness, praising when you could be complaining, declaring his promises when you’re up against giants, thanking him that he’s working when nothing is changing, that’s when God says, “Let me step in. Let me fight that battle. Let me make a way. Let me bring promotion, healing, favor.” One version says, “God is enthroned when we praise him.” When you’re full of praise, you’re building a throne for God to sit on in your life. No problem or situation can dethrone God!

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”

But when you create an atmosphere of praise, when you’re always thanking God for what he’s done, when you get up in the morning, and say, “Lord, thank you that I’m alive today. Thank you for my family. Thank you, that goodness and mercy are tracking me down. Thank you that I’m surround by your faithfulness and favor. Lord, I thank you that you’ve made me invisible to the enemy”, that faith-filled atmosphere is going to draw in favor, good breaks, peace, and joy. Praise beautifies ugly situations. When you magnify God in praise, He will beautify your life. When you praise God, He will locate you to bless you.

You are called to be a voice of victory, calling people to the one who already defeated it all. When the world is trembling, may they see you at peace, resting in the victory of the cross and an empty tomb, knowing you are "more than a conqueror. Whether your pain is the result of relationship challenges, financial struggle, health diagnosis or anxiety about the future, when you begin to worship the Lord through your struggle, spiritual chains begin to break so that you aren’t ruled by your circumstance but you set your sights on something higher. One of the paradoxes of Christianity is that God uses pain for our good. The biggest sorrows can result in our greatest joy. Trust God’s plan for your life. He’ll use your situation to strengthen and encourage others.

There are times of darkness in our lives, that may be caused by the death of a loved one, the loss of a job or a home, divorce or another great tragedy of life. Often in our darkest seasons, we find that the most difficult days we face can become pivotal times that mark our lives and even our future. If you’ve lived long enough, you may know what it is to struggle through deep loss, brokenness, and pain. Dark times may also be times when God wants to teach you something more about yourself and His love for you. Tragedy or testing, dark days or dreary nights, God knows what you are facing. He is in touch with what is happening to you, and He cares enough to move heaven and hell to see you come through.

Life falls and failure will come to you, regardless of your level of growth. God can place his favor right in the midst of your fall, fumble or failure. When God’s favor is on your life, you’re going to flourish. Your location doesn’t determine the blessing; what God put on you determines the blessing. When God called you out, He marked you for favor. Wherever you go, the blessing goes. You may not have the perfect job, people aren’t treating you right, you’re not getting the credit you deserve; that’s ok, you’re not working unto people, you’re working unto God. People don’t determine your destiny, God does. Continue being your best, honoring God, and he will cause you to be noticed, stand out. at the right time, God will either turn your situation around by promoting you, or He’ll move you somewhere else. God wants to put such a distinction on you, He wants you to stand out in such a way, that people want what you have.

And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

People may not like you, but they can’t stop you; God has the power to bring the right people that will open doors to promotion, opportunity, favor. You won’t be to deny His favor over your frail, feeble and flawed mind.

You can’t but say, “wow, I didn’t see that coming. I didn’t have the connections, talent, experience.” that’s one of those prepared blessings that you have not seen, heard, or imagined. As long as you stay close to God, keep Him first place, you’ll be connected to a supply line that will never run dry. Even in a slow economy, God will cause what you need to find you. The medical report says “no way,” but your supply line is filled with health, wholeness, and restoration. God can cause you to be noticed, it will be faster than you think.

It may not have happened when you want it too, but if you’ll stay in faith, what God has ordained is on the way. Isaiah 43:18 said, “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Take your focus off things that are now behind you. Don’t allow the hurt and humiliation of last year to haunt and hinder you from the happiness that waits you in this New Year.

God works where there’s faith. You don’t have to figure it all out; all you have to do is believe. take the limits off of God; dare to say, “God, just like you promised in Psalm 102, that it was the set time to favor Zion, God, I know I am Zion, the church, so I believe it’s my set time for favor, acceleration, to go to a new level. You have to release your faith, have an expectancy. Instead of being negative, talking yourself out of it, act like the alarm is going off. Change your attitude and it want belong before your altitude will change. Try asking God for what seems impossible. Don’t let the negative voices convince you that you’re never going to do any better. God knows how to take you from the back to the front. Remember, God knows where you are, and how long you been there. He has the power to open doors that no man can shut.

Grace morning on this fresh and fantastic Friday.

Life can get so routine, that you’re not really releasing your faith. You’ve been lulled into thinking, “it’s never going to happen for me, it’s been so long, I’ll never get to the next level, meet the right person.” no, every morning when you wake up, just imagine the alarm is going off; God is saying, “it’s the set time.” your attitude should be, “this is my day for favor, increase, divine connections.” not, “maybe one day it’s going to happen,” no, “I know today is my day. by faith, I can hear the alarm going off. It’s favor, acceleration, blessing, breakthrough, victory, abundance time.” God has already designated these moments of favor for you. He’s already set the times; you’re living in one of those right now, a set time of acceleration, greater influence, where God wants to highlight your life. if this is going to happen, down in your spirit you have to hear the alarm going off. Don’t push the snooze button on God’s alarm.

“Better yet, on the Day God heals his people of the wounds and bruises from the time of punishment, moonlight will flare into sunlight, and sunlight, like a whole week of sunshine at once, will flood the land.”

Grace morning on this triumphant Thursday.

It may look like your situation is going to take years to turn around. God has ways to turn it around that you’ve never thought of.

He specializes in unexpected deliveries.

Some of the things that you could be discouraged by are, bad break, disappointment, loss, looks like a dead end, like it’s going to hold you back; in reality, that setback is going to propel you into the next level of your destiny. If you will remain in faith, you will see some of these unexpected deliveries.

God will cause doors to open on their own accord.

He’ll make things happen that you could not make happen; suddenly, unexpectedly, quicker than you thought. What you’ve been dreaming about, praying for, may look like it’s a long way off, but God has already put it en route.

It’s already headed your way. You are close to your breakthrough, deliverance, promotion; it has your name on it. Keep honoring God: it’s going to show up sooner than expected.

“Then he said to me, ‘Daniel, do not be afraid. God has listened to your prayers since the time that you first turned to him. You wanted to understand about God. You put yourself under his authority. So I have come to bring the answer to your prayers.”

God is speeding things up, as you bless others, blessings are going to pop up. as you sow the seed, the harvest will already be there. God is in the business of speeding things up. His timetable is not a natural timetable. if you’ll dare believe, God will accelerate your harvest, healing, freedom. God is in the accelerating business. God works where there’s an attitude of faith, expectancy. Why don’t you dare to say, “God, I’m asking for you to do for me what you promised to the prophet Amos, and make my head swim, amaze me with your goodness, God, accelerate your blessings in my life.” God has some deliveries for you that are going to come sooner than you think. Every circumstance may say, “it’s going to take years to get out of debt, meet the right person, accomplish a goal,” but get ready for some unexpected deliveries; God has favor, good breaks, connections, that are going to show up sooner than expected.

““Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” God’s Decree. “Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills.”

God is loving. He’s kind. He’s a provider. He’s a way-maker. He’s a deliverer. He’s a healer. Don’t throw in the towel just yet. Though it may appear that all hope is gone, that everyone else is finishing the race without you, It Ain’t Over! Don’t give up! Word of God is the beginning of the process that brings a hopeless life back to life. You may be in a situation that looks hopeless, it may look like it’s time to give up, it doesn’t matter what it may look like, God has the final. Man may count you out, the enemy may tell you you’ve lost, the chance for victory may look impossible, but it’s not over until the Lord says it’s over. Your turnaround comes when you begin to hear from God. Faith comes you(by hearing and hearing the word of God. Keep fighting. Keep praying. Keep progressing. Keep moving. Keep believing. Keep trusting. Keep trying. Keep giving. Keep fighting until your victory is won!

It may seem as if God is not present at all when you face difficulties, but God is always present. He has a perfect plan for the things we deem good, but also for what we perceive as difficult. When we choose to adjust our perspectives, we can see His goodness, even in life’s difficult circumstances. When the enemy holds ground in one part of your life, it tends to consume most of our thoughts. That one area can cost us emotional health, quality relationships, and even the ability to enjoy life. But we don’t have to put up with it. From time to time, in life, we find ourselves stuck. We’ve come upon a hard place—a place that has us trapped. We can’t seem to move forward. There is an area of your life that just won’t change, no matter how hard you try or how much you pray. It is in these trying times, that we put our trust in God who never fails.

“If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed.”

When you trust, you go to God and His word when life is hard. You also act on obedience (doing what God says in His Word) and trust that He will ultimately take care of the rest. Don’t look for security in other things; you look to God to hold you securely in difficult circumstances. You won’t do this perfectly, but God is patient, while you learn to trust Him. How comforting it is to know that the God of the universe is paying attention to you. Knowing God is for you will strengthen your trust in Him during times of hardship and the unknown. God is bigger than your circumstances. Difficult times may feel like they last forever, but they are temporary. God is present amid the bad times as well as the good. He is always faithful. God wants you to go to Him with your circumstances. You should not let your circumstances shape your relationship with God. God can shape your view of your circumstances.

We all face life's ups and downs. But we need to admit to our down times and be confident that God will help us—whenever we ask him. Occasionally, all we want to do is stay in bed and pull the covers over our face and stay there. If you find yourself feeling this way, keep moving and pushing forward, even when you’re facing a particularly difficult situation. You’ve also need to appreciate the good moments when you have them. Life can seem like you’re riding a roller coaster. The thing you should do is to take control of your feelings and emotions. God is greater than any problem you will face. You can rest in the assurance that God is greater than anything you might face. All the unexpected things you face, God is bigger. All the hurts, God is bigger. All the pain, God is bigger. You are a child of the King and you are bigger and stronger than anything life can throw your way.

Sometimes storms can cause much damage and wreak havoc in the lives of many. While the news focuses on environmental storms, there are other storms just as devastating that people experience every day, such as sickness, financial hardship, and broken relationships. These storms of life threaten our peace, comfort, and joy, and often bring about fear, doubt, and hopelessness. God sees the storm as a means of advancement. He uses storms of life to draw us closer to Him. So, he uses the dark, scary, uncertain times of life as an opportunity for Him to demonstrate his power not ours, and for Him to get the glory, not us. God wants to use your trials to lift your faith to another level. The storms of life are part of God’s plan, revealing your heart, and growing you into His image. Don’t let the difficult storms become bigger than the promises of God. He promises to be with you through any storm that He allows in your life.

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Isaiah 43:2 KJV

God is always at work in our lives. Even during seasons of adversity, He wants to accomplish something powerful and good. This doesn’t mean you have to be happy about the hardship itself. Instead, joy comes from drawing close to the Lord. Many times we want to shine, without the pain and uncertainty of what the hard stuff brings. We want to cover what was broken and scarred, masking the struggles of a past that took us down difficult pathways. And yet, embracing the beauty of the broken is what enables us to live joyfully.

Often it takes time to fully understand and begin to see how God will turn it all around for goodness and purpose. Because that dark season so deeply affected us. But through Christ, we have the assurance and hope that only He can give, knowing that He will indeed use our dark days for ultimate blessing. Every single one. You may not see it yet, but God turn it around if you trust him.

No pain is alike, you must walk the journey and path that God has for your life,

yet God promises that there is a purpose in it all.

Pain always has a purpose.

Pain in the body exists to alert us to some abnormality in our physical person. It exists so that we will recognize there is a problem, allowing us to address and rectify the cause. Emotional, mental, and spiritual pain exist for the exact same purpose. God’s purpose is always to help you realize a life to be fulfilled. He wants you to be the very best you can be. He knows what that REALLY looks like. We just think we know. God knows that the very best thing for you is to live a life in perfect union with Him, walking in faith, submission, and obedience. Everything He does, or allows, is for the purpose of drawing you, and others, back into union with Him. His goal is always restoration, even when it doesn’t look like that.

Sometimes we get dealt a bad hand, other times we make foolish decisions. And then there are the times where we make the worst mistakes we could ever make, and spiral down, down, until we feel like we won’t ever know again what it is like to be normal. We’re all searching for a way to make things better for ourselves. It is our nature to want answers to life’s questions. The truth of the matter is, without God, we cannot solve our own problems. We can’t come out of debt on our own. We can’t get out of that abusive relationship on our own. We can’t beat that addiction on our own, no matter how many times we’ve tried. God can restore lost years by bringing long-term gain from short-term loss. The effect of these great trials in your life will be the genuineness of your faith. Honor and praise go to Christ because his power guarded you and kept you through the hardest years of your life.

“and I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.”

The journey towards reaching your dream in life won’t always be easy. It may take some time, and it’s entirely possible that you might fall down, stumble, or even lose sight of your path along the way, but in the end, as you continue to trust and obey God’s word, you’re going to reach your dream. Obstacles are inevitable, but the focus shouldn’t be on how many times you get knocked down. Rather, it should be on how many times you get back up!Getting back up isn’t always easy. Once you achieve your dreams, you’ll look back on your journey and be proud of all the hard work you put in along the way. But in order to get to this point, you need to develop the right mindset. You can’t necessarily avoid negative thoughts, but when you reflect and work through them, they’ll no longer weigh you down. Instead, they’ll provide you with a sense of worth that’ll improve your mindset for the future.

“Don’t interfere with good people’s lives; don’t try to get the best of them. No matter how many times you trip them up, God-loyal people don’t stay down long; Soon they’re up on their feet, while the wicked end up flat on their faces.”

Like seasons, you will all eventually find yourself in a valley, a season of despondency. Sometimes you are able to rebound quickly, sometimes you are left with the lingering feelings of despair. And when the circumstances of your life prompt discouragement to link arms with the past, it can feel impossible to overcome. Should you expect to feel happy when you are being put through a serious testing which God may not just permit but ordain. Surely a lot of life has its lows, and you have to be prepared to ride the roller coaster of the ups and the downs. Sometimes God by taking a person through suffering, not only teaches them a new appreciation for Him and his grace and sufficiency, but also equips them to help others who are going through terrible times.

In some of the darkest times in our lives, when we have been hit hard, perhaps, repeatedly, we find ourselves exhausted and empty. It’s in these times, we should turn to God.

Life is full of moments when the sun shines only for a brief season and then it moves on. None of us are immune to the storms of life. We have all been there, caught in the midst, wondering how we got here. Sometimes we can’t get our heads above water. We dip down into a place that is not peaceful. How you respond to them is important. Because either you will be consumed by the winds and waves of it, or you will have victory over it. If you can stand and get through the storm, you will see victory even during high winds and waves which is frightening. Storms can happen at work, in relationships, or even in ministry. ANY area of life can bring stress. Every trial is an opportunity for God to teach you more about Himself, and to reveal Himself to you in a new way. Each difficulty and struggle open the door for God to display His power in your life.

Grace morning on this fresh and festive Friday.

In life from time to time we all find ourselves in the pits. There will be times when we seem to be at our breaking point. We get discouraged with where we aren't, depressed with where we are, and disappointed with ourselves because of it.

This sense of hopelessness can push you into a panic pit. The good news is you can get out. Regardless of whether you were thrown in, you slipped in, or you jumped in, you can get out. Even if you have a history of failed attempts.

Even if you’ve never lived anywhere else. People can help you but they can’t heal you. People can lift you but they can’t carry you.

On occasion people can pull you out of a pit, but they cannot keep you out. Nor can they set your feet upon a rock. When we come out of a pit, if our idea of stability is standing on another human’s shoulders, his clay feet will inevitably crumble and we’ll take a tumble. Trust God who never fails.

“I was patient while I waited for the Lord to help me. He turned towards me, and he heard me when I called to him. He lifted me out of the deep hole of danger. He picked me up out of the mud. He put my feet on a rock. Then I could walk and not slip.”

You can be the person that will rise up and not just accept the dysfunction, not just live with the defeat, but will have the courage to make a difference, to put an end to what’s limiting you. And there are negative things in our family line that you have to say, “You cannot live in my life”. You have to do away with anger, addiction, unforgiveness. You can stop the problems from coming, but as long as you allow these things to live, it’s going to hurt your dreams, harm your freedom, hinder your purpose. Have the courage to step up. Your attitude should be, “This may have been passed down, but it’s not going to past me. This is where it ends. This is where the depression, addiction, low self-esteem, the poverty mindset comes to an end.” Don’t live with the dysfunction, break the dysfunction.

Where do you see a pattern of mediocrity, compromise, failure? When you understand those same spirits are coming after you, then you can be on guard. You can be and say, “No thanks. Depression, you’re not welcome here. No, thanks, I’m not giving in to this addiction, this compromise”, “No, thanks. I’m not living inferior, insecure, angry, bitter.” Don’t let that anger and bitterness continue on. It’s been in your family line. You can say I heard this phrase, “It ran in my family until it ran into me.” You can be the difference maker. You’re called and equip to set standards. Everyone in your family was negative except you. Everyone was broke except you. Everyone agitated except you. Everyone bitter except you. God is looking for exceptional people. People that will stand out, people that defy the odds, people that break barriers.

If your struggle is lasting longer than you feel you can bear, please take heart and seek God out in his word. It is there that you will find the peace you need to hold on. You will see that even when God appears silent, he is actually preparing your heart for his perfect answer. The wait has a purpose and is part of the plan. Don’t give up. Most of the things we struggle with didn’t start with us, they’ve been passed down in our family line. You don’t get to choose your battles. You didn’t get to pick what you’ll have to deal with. Just as you inherit your parents DNA which determines your eye color, how tall you’ll be, what kind of hair you’ll have, you also inherit attitudes, habits, behaviors, from those that have gone before you. Research shows how depression can be passed down. Anger, low self-esteem, addictions. It was in your bloodline and it showed up with you, but God is able!

It might seem like things will never get better. When anything painful happens to you, you’ve got a choice: You can run to God, or you can run from God. If you’re running away from God, what are you running to? Who could help you more in your pain than God? Often times the most brutal and agonizing hurts in our lives are things that aren’t visible by looking directly at us. The things that hurt us the most are kept secret. It’s the hidden hurts; some memory of events or words of the past that still haunt us. These may be memories of abandonment, or abuse. Maybe it’s the pain of ridicule or criticism from someone whose affirmation you once sought. God reminds us that our suffering is never without a reason. In fact, it helps build us up into people of stronger faith.

Don’t be snared by your words, be propelled by your words. The key is to not say what you feel, not what you think, not say what it looks like. Say what God says about you. Pay attention to what you’re speaking. Are you talking about the problem, what you don’t have, what’s not going to work out? Your words are setting the direction for your life. Don’t use your words to describe the situation – use your words to change the situation. “Well, I’ll never get out of this problem” – you’re inviting defeat. “I’m not that talented” – you’re inviting limitations. “I’ll never accomplish my dreams. I don’t have the connections” – you’re inviting mediocrity. You need to send out some new invitations. You may be struggling with depression, your report should be “This is only temporary. This is not who I am. I am free, I am happy, I have a bright future. That dream may look too big, but I know with God all things are possible.

Life is hard. Sometimes I need a laugh break. Laughter increases Gamma-interferon and T-cells, which help fight disease and even tumors.

It also relieves stress and pain. One of the best ways to change negative thinking is to start talking positive. When every thought is telling you, “It’s too big. You don’t have a chance. It’s been too long”, your response should be, “I am well able. I will defeat this giant. God being for me is more than the world being against me”. When you go around speaking faith, speaking victory, speaking abundance, negative thoughts cannot stay in your mind. But the enemy would love for us to verbalize the negative. He knows when you speak it, he can bring it to pass. But when you turn it around and speak victory in the face of defeat, health in the face of sickness, abundance in the face of lack, the forces of darkness are broken, favor is released. God will do what only he can do.

Sometimes the wait for a breakthrough in a relationship, healing, from a bad decision, or career move. You want God to move heaven and earth, but why is it taking Him so long, and what are you to do while you wait? The turn around is painfully long, and it seems like God is never going to come through. Waiting is hard work and, at times, can even test your faith. It’s especially difficult when there are no guarantees that your waiting will ever end in your favor. Those things you’ve been praying for, can tempt you to be, discouraged, and even wonder if God cares. There may be times, you feel your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling? Perhaps, you have prayed for years about a concern, but God has seemed silent. It seems that God allows us to experience disappointments in life to teach us that nothing else will truly satisfy or provide us with a firm foundation to stand upon. God’s Word alone is unshakable.

Grace morning on this wonderful and winsome Wednesday.

Waiting is immensely painful at times. It reminds us we aren’t in control … and it is impossible for us to change our own circumstances. Waiting seasons can be really frustrating. Days turn to weeks, weeks turn to months, and sometimes months turn into years. You wonder why God is making you wait so long? We need the Lord to move on our behalf. Sometimes when you pray long and hard about a situation in your life without receiving any answers, you just learn to live with it. You go on wondering if or when God will send the answer. But God does hear those prayers, and He’s working out the answers even though you may not know all the details. God’s timing may be slower than you would like, but he does know what he is doing, he does have a good plan. No situation is beyond the reach of his transforming power and, though the waiting is hard, when the breakthrough comes it is absolutely worth the wait.

“Be patient as you wait for the Lord to help you. Trust him to bring help. Do not become upset when bad people seem to do well, when their wicked ideas really happen.”

Don’t go through life cursing your future by speaking negative words over yourself. You have enough people in life against you, don’t be against yourself. The enemy would love for you to go around feeling wrong on the inside, like you’re at a disadvantage. Too many people swallow that bait, and go around speaking defeat, “I don’t have a good personality. I’m overweight. I don’t like my nose. I wish I had more here less there”. No, you’ve been made in the image of God. When you criticize yourself, you are criticizing God’s creation. You’re saying, “God, you didn’t do very good on me”. God put his DNA in you. You have royal blood flowing through your veins. Listen, when God created you, he put in you everything you need to fulfill your destiny. He gave you the right looks, the right height, the right personality. You have the gifts, the confidence, the wisdom, and the favor that God created you to be.

“Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother’s womb. I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! ”

One of the realities of life is hurt.

Life is fill with hurt. We are hurt by ourselves, others, or life circumstances. None of us live our lives wanting to be hurt, but none of us can live our lives without being hurt.

Often times the most brutal and agonizing hurts in our lives are things that aren’t visible by looking directly at us. It’s the hidden hurts; some memory of events or words of the past that still haunt us. Everyone has hidden hurts. Everyone has at least one emotional scar from the past.

The good news is that God wants to heal all of your hurts, even the ones that are hidden. God knows how you hurt. And He hurts with you. It’s not going to surprise God when you’re honest about the pain in your life. He already knows. He already cares. He already loves you. God has already taken record of your hurt and has a peaceful and hopeful way forward for you.

“I am with you, so do not be afraid. I am your God, so do not be upset. I will make you strong and I will help you. My powerful right hand will keep you safe.””

Make sure your words are going in the right direction. You can’t talk negative and have a positive life. You can’t talk defeat, and live victoriously. You can’t talk lack, and expect abundance. Your words are setting the course for your life. If you want to know what you’re going to be like five years from now, listen to what you’re saying about yourself. “I can’t accomplish my goals, I don’t have the connections. I’m so lonely, I don’t think I’ll ever meet the right person” – you just invited more loneliness. “It’s going to be a rough year, with inflation, trouble at work I’m having, trying to raise these children on my own” – you’re inviting difficulties, hardships. Do yourself a favor, change your invitations. Start sending out some new words, “It’s going to be a great year. I’m surrounded by favor. I’m strong in the Lord. Goodness and mercy are chasing me. The right people are tracking me down. The best part of my life is still in front of me”.

God is looking for people of faith. If you can renew your mind and thoughts toward the things of God, you can change your world. Changing your mindset can change your circumstances because your mind is powerful. It has the power to bring life or to bring destruction, because everything starts with a thought. How you think determines how you live. One thing that can keep us from our destiny is our mouth. If we go around saying negative things about ourself, our family, our future, it will limit how high we can go. Things like, “I’ll never be successful. I’m not that talented. I can’t break this addiction. It’s flu season,

I’ll probably get it. I’ve been through so much in the past, I don’t think I’ll ever be happy again”. Everything you’re saying you’re giving it the right to come to pass. You are prophesying your future. It’s just like you’re inviting that into your life. Before you say it, make sure you want it.

In life, we will face storms but we have the assurance of shelter in God. The presence of God during moments of life’s turmoils gives us hope and the courage to endure. Storms are not over, just because you have given your life to Christ. But the truth is that whatever these storms of life may be, you can sail through them with Christ. The COVID-19 pandemic is like a storm that swept us off our feet, but with our sovereign savior, we are sailing through it. The enemy can strike any time; He can use straining circumstances to raise storms in your life. These storms could come from any direction; they can come from the most unexpected direction and from the most unexpected people. The evil enemy work to suddenly turn people against you and raise storms through them. Storms can could come at unexpected times and these storms could come despite the fact that you are walking with the Lord and enjoying fellowship with Him.

“I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.””

Sometimes, when you make a big, life-altering decision or leap of faith, you encounter detours. You face problems and interruptions that can make you question whether or not you heard God in the first place. You reach a crossroads in your faith journey where you can either continue trusting God or turn away from him. When trouble strikes and your heart grow faint, you can be tempted to forget God’s love. When this happens, you begin to be consumed by your stress and your fears. When you follow God's formula and recall his great love, you, remind yourself daily of his compassion. Your heart then gain strength. Purpose exists, even for the storms and struggles of life. You may not always see the purpose, but the purpose exists. You don't need to doubt the love and the goodness of God toward you. He doesn't promise a storm-free life, but he does promise to be the anchor in the storm so that you will not be overcome!

“We have these little troubles that continue for a short time. But as a result, we will receive the great things that God has prepared for us. Those great things are much more important than our little troubles. And God's great things will continue for ever!”

Life as a Believer isn’t always going to be perfect. You’re still going to face hard times in this life. At times even serving God will feel difficult. As you navigate times in which you find it harder to pray, read the Bible, worship, or even extend love to others. But those times shouldn’t matter because we know that God is greater. Even in the worst times, God is still good. We can find comfort in knowing that even in the bad times God has a purpose. As well as the faith He is able to use hard times for our good. Giving us every reason to trust Him regardless if things are going good or bad. When you are walking into a situation and do not know what will happen just place your trust in God. Know that even if things don’t work out, like the apostle Paul, you can get through whatever life brings with the help of God. Just keep on trusting God either way.

“During this time now, we have troubles and pain. But I am sure that these troubles are not really very great. One day God will show us all the great things he has prepared for us. That will make the troubles that we have now seem very small.”

You may not understand the purpose of your challenges in the present, but they will make sense in the future when you have arrived at the place that God wants you to be in life. It is therefore important to understand that challenges and problems are not always present so that they may destroy you. But in certain situations, God may use your problems so that He may achieve His will and His purpose in your life. And for every trial you face, God is faithful and He will provide a way for you to escape and be victorious. When we choose to open up our hearts and allow God to come in and restore us,

He is faithful to do so.

When we choose to not hide away, God will take all the wreckage, all the rubble, and by His grace, He will rebuild you. God can use problems to help you refocus your perspective and to view Him and His plans for your life more correctly.

“Come near to God and he will come near to you. Be clean in the way that you live. Stop doing wrong things. Make your minds clean. You cannot love sin and love God at the same time.”

God is our great architect, our Creator, the One who knit us together in our mother’s womb. He knows the scars, the wounds, and every circumstance you have been through or ever will go through. What we see as broken, God sees as beautiful. He knows where each piece belongs; and when we put our trust and hope in Jesus, piece by piece, He puts us back together into something more beautiful than we were before. He is the God who rebuilds! As Christ followers, it’s easy to feel like we need to give the impression that everything is great in life even when we find ourselves in a season of feeling broken. We go about our lives putting a smile on and covering up the issues or trials that are actually breaking us apart inside. Maybe we are afraid of what others will think if they actually knew what was going on in our lives. Maybe we feel like God wants nothing to do with our broken pieces.

“The Lord is building Jerusalem again. He is bringing home the Israelite exiles. He makes people who are very sad well again. He helps their wounds to get better.”

When life is difficult, it can be hard to trust God with your circumstances.

Pain, no matter what form it is can last a lot longer than you’d like. Waiting for a resolution, trying to understand your situation – all this can take its toll and start to wear you thin spiritually speaking. Life can often be tough but only God can bring light out of darkness, and joy out of pain. We have a Faithful Creator who has arranged all the seasons of our life to bring about His eternal purposes. Often this includes trials.

But our suffering is not without purpose. There’s a future in it – our eternity.

Trials and suffering aren’t only for our own growth. God, in His infinite wisdom and great desire that ALL should come to Him, will use our painful situations. Adversity prepares us to lead, comfort, and help others in ways that nothing else can. In every situation, God is faithfully covering you. He will provide you with just what you need.

“But it is never too dark for you to see. For you, the night has as much light as the day. Darkness and light are the same to you!”

There are few guarantees in life, but this is one of them: God has not forgotten about you. He hasn’t left you, despite how you feel at the moment.

Your story isn’t over, and the last word hasn’t been spoken over your life. Have you ever felt broken? Ever found yourself in a place where you feel like a pile of shattered pieces, unable to pick yourself up and put yourself back together?

Felt like a lost cause, ashamed to let others know what you are going through? God is a great architect, the One who knit us together in our mother’s womb. He knows the scars, the wounds, and every circumstance you have been through or ever will go through. What you see as broken, God sees as beautiful. He knows where each piece belongs; and when you put your trust and hope in Christ, piece by piece, He puts you back together into something more beautiful than you were before. He is the God who rebuilds!

Sometimes life’s challenges just seem impossible to overcome: Financial challenges are ever at your doorstep; just when you think you’re about to have a breakthrough – then something goes wrong; you have to contend with jealous workmates at your job; it’s taking forever to buy that house; you have family issues – and you just don’t seem to appear to be winning in all these areas.Your problems may be big, perhaps even bigger than you know. But your God is bigger, and his promises to you are stronger and surer. So, look up from your problems. Do not give up hope. Do not think there is nothing that can be done. God can change anything and turn any situation around. Even when doctors have given up all hope and say there is nothing that they can do, Jesus still can. God can use problems to change your perspective about life and about Him. God is more interested in you having a genuine and growing relationship with Him.

Be patient in trouble, you don’t know what God has planned, you don’t know where God is takeing you. The enemy will love for your eyes to become dim, where you live discouraged, and depressed, “Look at all these bad breaks”. No, there is restoration, healing, and abundance. God has things in your future that you cannot conceive right now. And sometimes you have to go through a dark season, disappointment, through the hardship, but on the other side you’re going to see favor that you would have never seen. One way that God works on our character is through trials and suffering. Whether it be loss, betrayal or abuse, each presents an opportunity to become more like Christ. How you choose to respond to these hurts will reveal your internal heart condition. This refinement process can be a painful one, God can do something unusual, blessings chasing you down, good breaks that push you ahead. Never forget that life is not about you! You exist for God’s purposes, not vice versa.

“Thank the Lord because he is good. His faithful love for his people continues for ever. Everyone that the Lord has rescued should tell others. Tell them how he has rescued you from the enemy's power.”

He said, your path will get brighter and brighter, that your latter days will be better than your former days. And you may have had some great former days, that’s awesome, but God has some greater things up ahead. Your problems may be agonizing, but your God is tender. Are your troubles as untamed as the ocean? God holds them in the hollow of his hand. Are your sorrows as vast as the heavens? God measures them like a carpenter at his workbench. Are your burdens as heavy as the hills? God picks them up and puts them on his scale.

Place all your fears and frailty before him, and ask him to quiet you with his love. There are moments of favor that you can come into that are going to push you ahead, something you can’t explain, you didn’t work for it, God just granted it.

When you look in your rear view mirror you have a tailgater, favor is about to overtake you, success is tracking you down right now. Freedom has almost caught up with you. It’s just a matter of time before the goodness of God over takes you. Your problems may be bewildering, but God. He sees you. He knows every detail of your trouble. And he knows how to come alongside you as you wait for him and make you rise up with strength. Be glad for what God is planning for you. That means every day live with expectancy, “Lord, I believe, something good is going to happen to me”. Thank God for your best days are still out in front of you.

There is a set time for God to favor you. There are marked moments where God has already planned to suddenly promote you, suddenly turn it around, suddenly open a door. Your feelings and circumstances matter and are very much worth paying attention to. God cares about them both. But those things alone are not reliable enough to base your life on. They can change at any moment, even in an instant. God, on the other hand, does not change. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and therefore is worthy of your trust. Trusting God is more than a feeling; it’s a choice to have faith in what He says even when your feelings or circumstances would have you believe different. To trust is to believe in the reliability, truth, ability or strength of something. So, when it comes to trusting God, that means believing in His reliability. God’s plan supersedes those that try to push you down, leave you out, tell you that you’re not qualified.

Life situations can change in an instant, from your job status to your relationships to your health. However, God is unchangeable — He is the same today as He was yesterday as He will be tomorrow. Because of that, you can breathe easier knowing that the unchangeable God sits on the throne for eternity, no matter who’s causing you strife. God never does his greatest feats in your yesterdays, they’re always in your tomorrows. God doesn’t want you to live off of old victories. That’s why you can live with expectancy, excited when others are down, hopeful when others are discouraged. God’s favor is for a lifetime, He isn’t telling you to pretend that problems don’t exist or that you shouldn’t meet your daily obligations. God is encouraging you to not become so consumed with worry about tomorrow’s issues that you keep from addressing today’s.

Instead of wringing your hands over the issues tomorrow might bring, consider why you shouldn’t worry about tomorrow, because God is in control.

“Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.”

When we’ve gone through disappointments, dreams are taking longer than we thought or we’re dealing with the challenge, if we’re not careful we’ll become complacent, when we’re not believing for things to turn around, we’re not expecting good breaks. When you trust, you go to God and His word when life is hard. You also act on obedience vand trust that He will ultimately take care of the rest. In trust, you do not look for security in other things; you look to God to hold you securely in difficult circumstances. If you could see what God has planned for you, the giants you’re going to defeat, you go out each day with a spring in your steps, excited about your future, expecting God to show out in your life. That expectancy is what allows God to do great things, that’s your faith at work.

You can’t become who you were created to be when you’re negative towards yourself. Circumstances may be against you, people will come against you, you can overcome those things. Don’t go your whole life wishing you were something different, wishing you had a better personality, wishing you were more talented, wishing you were like your neighbor, wishing you lived somewhere differently, when in fact you’re exactly who you’re supposed to be. The problem is if you are against you. If you’re negative towards yourself, that will keep you from your destiny. God has given us different gifts, different personalities, different temperaments. Sometimes we’re fighting who we are trying to be like someone else. You have to accept who God has made you to be. God knows how to developer you right where you are.

Sometimes, life can feel like we’re in the dark. Our souls can feel under a shadow or cloud. In that season life can feel gloomy and overcast, without hope. We can feel like God is distant or absent, and we can long for the sunlight to return. The darkness you’re in doesn’t block you from His view. Whether it’s despair, depression, or grief – whatever this darkness is for you, He sees right through it.

Is there anything you’re believing for that will cause God to marvel? Dare to believe bigger. Dare to do something that causes God to be amazed. Not just to believe to pay your bills each month, no, great faith says, “God, give me overflow, so I can help pay somebody else’s bills”. Not just, “Let me manage this depression”. No, “Lord, thank you that I’m totally free of my misery. God’s doing a new thing, but it’s not going to happen with comfortable faith, lazy faith, limited faith. God’s looking for great faith.

“Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.”

The enemy would love for you to go through life with little faith, not believing, full of doubt thinking, “It’s never going to happen, look how big the problem is”. When you operate with weak faith, comfortable where you are, not stretching, not putting a demand on your faith, you’re not likely to get very far. The day we’re living in average faith is not going to cut it. To overcome forces that are trying to stop you you can’t operate with ordinary faith, to leave a mark you can’t just believe like everyone else. It’s going to take people that will dare to believe big, to take the limits off. God wants to do something new in your life, uncommon, out of the ordinary, but if you’re going to see great favor, you have to have operate with great faith. The good news is: it’s in you. You have to awaken your great faith, you have to stir up what God put in you.

Sometimes life throws us these unexpected challenges. That’s when the enemy works overtime in our mind, “This is the end. You’ll never get well. You never see your children graduate, just accept it”. When you start dwelling on the negative, you’re giving it life. You draw in what you’re constantly thinking about. You have to guard your mind, fill it with what God promised you. What you do in the difficult times will determine whether you see the fullness of your destiny. Life can be difficult, but you can’t get discouraged, and start complaining, the whole time you’re complaining, God is whispering, “It’s still going to happen, I’m in control”. God wants you know, despite the setbacks, you’re still going to accomplish your goal. Despite the delays, you’re still going to meet the right person. Don’t talk yourself out of it, talk to yourself into it. It’s easy to think, “Nothing good is in my future. I’ve reached my limits”. Why not be a believer and not a doubter?

“Jesus went with them. When he was still quite far from the house, the captain sent friends to tell him, “Master, you don’t have to go to all this trouble. I’m not that good a person, you know. I’d be embarrassed for you to come to my house, even embarrassed to come to you in person. Just give the order and my servant will get well.”

Grace morning on this sensational and satisfying Saturday.

Have you ever wondered about situations you have faced with faith and confidence in the past but now, somehow you struggle with faith and confidence that God is able to do it again? Perhaps you once stood firm in your faith in Christ, but something did not go your way. Perhaps, the stresses of life have distracted you. When those negative thoughts come telling you it’s too late, just answer back, “No, thanks, it’s still going to happen”. “Well, you’ve had a lot of bad breaks. Looks like that set you back”. No, thanks, I have bounce back in me. “Well, your children are off course. Seems like the more you pray the worse they get”.

No, thanks, as for me in my house we’re still going to serve the Lord. “What you’re believing for is way over your head. You don’t have the resources, the connections, the experience, that dream can’t come to pass”, no you’re looking at it in the natural, but the God I serve is supernatural. He says it’s still going to happen.

“Three times he stretched himself out full-length on the boy, praying with all his might, “God, my God, put breath back into this boy’s body!” God listened to Elijah’s prayer and put breath back into his body—he was alive! Elijah picked the boy up, carried him downstairs from the loft, and gave him to his mother. “Here’s your son,” said Elijah, “alive!””

Grace morning on this fresh and fantastic Friday.

Life is hard, and sometimes it seems like there's one storm after another. Whether it be an illness, death, temptation, a toxic person, or a hundred other things, life is full of storms. The thing you have to remember when going through these storms is God controls them. Stay focused on God even when he is silent in your storm. The silence is part of his plan. The delays, closed doors, people that walked away, it was all necessary. The delay doesn’t mean that God said “No”, it just wasn’t the right time. He can carry you through anything you can't carry yourself through. All you have to do is have faith that does not waver in tough times. What you let go of – revisit. Didn’t work out the first time? This is a new day, things have shifted. God’s favor for your faithfulness is about to flourish in your life. There’s going to be opportunity, resources, doors opening, that you’ve never seen. It’s in the hand of God.

“Because of their trouble, they called to the Lord for help. He rescued them from their troubles. He caused the storm to stop, so that the waves became quiet.”

Sometimes God has to move someone out for your life for it to come to pass. He has to weed out the wrong people, so he can put people in that will serve his plan. Trust his timing, trust his ways. Just because you laid the foundation, then things didn’t work out, does not mean that God is through. What he started he’s going to finish. God wouldn’t have given you the dream, wouldn’t have put that promise in your heart if he didn’t know how to bring it to pass. Keep doing the right thing, even when the wrong thing keeps happening, it’s not only going to still happen, but it’s going to be mind shattering. God’s purpose is to push you into your destiny. Now you may be in a silent season, you don’t see anything improving, no good breaks, no open doors, your health, family, finances just the same – if you will just trust God’s sovereignty-shift, He is able to show you his greatness!

It’s amazing how when you make some progress, you see some favor, promotion, how that stirs people up, jealousy, gossip, slander. People won’t have a problem with you as long as you remain average, “Stay in your corner, don’t make any ways”. But when God has put greatness in you. He’s called you to stand out, to be a difference maker, to take your family to a new level. Don’t be surprised when you take steps of faith, you get out of your comfort zone, start that business, purchase a home, people will start to find fault. They want you to stay average, they want you to be mediocre, but that’s not your destiny. It’s not too late, the opposition is not too strong. God is in control. A shift in your finances, your career, can suddenly open the doors. What God has in mind is much bigger, better, more rewarding than what you had in mind. God can take you where others can only dream of going.

Grace morning on this thankful and tranquil Tuesday.

God puts things in our spirit on purpose that are too big for us. He allows us in situations where we can’t get out on our own. It’s a test: are we going to get discouraged, miss our purpose? Or are we going to let what God says override the doubt, and believe that it’s still going to happen? “Despite the opposition, I’m still going to reach my destiny. Despite how things look, I’m still going to come out alright. Despite the delays, the setbacks, what people are saying, what the bank account looks like, how you were raised, you’re still going to live a blessed, fulfilled, victorious life. Despite the breakup, despite who walked away, the hurts, the loneliness, that’s not how your story ends. That’s one chapter, but you have a whole book. You’re still going to be someone who bounced back from a fall or failed relationship, you’re still going to laugh again, love again, dream again. Just keep believing “It’s still going to happen.”

“Then the widow went home. She did what Elijah had told her to do. After that, there was enough food every day for Elijah and for the widow and her family. The flour in the bowl and the olive oil in the jar never finished. The Lord had promised Elijah that this would happen.”

Grace morning on this marvelous and magnificent Monday.

Have you ever walked through a situation in life that left you wondering why God would allow you to experience the hurt, pain or even discouragement that resulted? There is no doubt that some challenges in life are the result of poor choices, but for every believer, the reality is that we will walk through hardship and will experience pain. There is always a bigger story encompassing the painful place in which we find ourselves. God is always up to something much bigger. And while you may not focus on or even be aware of the bigger God-story in the midst of your suffering, the God-story is still there. God does not orchestrate purposeless suffering in your life. In the face of doubt, negative voices, people telling you it’s not going to work out, it’s very important to respond back with this declaration of faith, “It’s still going to happen”. You’re saying, “God, my hope is in you. You’re the Creator of the universe. What you promised will happen.

“My help cometh from the LORD, Which made heaven and earth.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.”

Grace morning on this serene and seismic Sunday.

Don’t let the fleeting tough times of today turn you from trusting God. He understands your weakness. He understands this life is hard. We all have things that we're believing for. And we prayed, we've done our best, but the medical report hasn't improved, we didn't get to a promotion. You tried to start your business, but you had unexpected and overwhelming opposition, delays, people did you wrong. Now, you think it wasn't meant to be.

You may have given up, the good news is: God hasn't given up. He doesn't abort dreams. He's called the author and the finisher of our faith. The dreams he's whispered in your spirit,

the promises that you're standing on, it may be too much for you, but it's not too much for him. When you've heard for so long that it's not going to happen, that negativity can take root.

You have to let that all go out, and by faith receive this phrase into your spirit, "It's still going to happen".

“Jesus said, “What a generation! No sense of God! No focus to your lives! How many times do I have to go over these things? How much longer do I have to put up with this? Bring the boy here.” He ordered the afflicting demon out—and it was out, gone. From that moment on the boy was well.”

Have you ever been tossed around in a storm, shaken to your very core, abused, and battered? When presented with all these trials in life—one after another—you find strength to stand again, rise up, and move out of all the turmoil, burden, but blessed. There is a side to suffering you miss when you focus solely on your pain rather than on God’s greater purpose. If you can see the purpose behind the pain, you can find the way out of this lie. If your suffering won’t go away, it might as well go to work. Hard times have the capacity to deepen your faith and the faith of those around you. And when you submit your situation to God, he can strengthen you to keep standing in spite of your struggles. You can learn when suffering humbles you and forces you to pay attention to the work the Holy Spirit is doing inside of you.God uses this method to knock off the rough edges.

“The sun came up as he left Peniel, limping because of his hip. (This is why Israelites to this day don’t eat the hip muscle; because Jacob’s hip was thrown out of joint.)”

When we learn to accept the things that we cannot change, we allow room for God to move on our behalf. While we do what God has called us to do in the middle of the problem, we trust Him to do those things that we cannot do. Do you ever feel like you've done your bit for the Kingdom? Maybe you think it's someone else's turn to do the hard work—that you've done all you can to turn things around. And now you want to sit back and take a break.God is still working, shake off discouragement, it may not have been fair, but don’t get stuck on that page, if you’ll keep pressing forward you’ll come into a chapter of victory, restoration, new beginnings, no matter what comes your way, your life is not going to end on a negative. God is going to restore what’s been stolen, repair what’s been broken, take every setback and turn it into a greater comeback.

“If people do bad things to you, do not do anything bad to them in return. If people insult you, do not insult them in return. Instead, pray that God will bless those people. That is what God wants you to do. Then you will receive the gift of God's blessing.”

Life may not be as hard as we make it appear. If you talk defeat, you’re going to have defeat. If you think I’ll never get out of this trouble, then you never will. If you add up the negative things in your past and put them on a scale, at times it would be way out of balance, the negative is much heavier: you’re dealing with an illness, you went through a loss, you had a setback in your finances. It’s easy to look at what we’ve been through and get discouraged, lose our passion. The problem is, you’re only weighing your history, you’re only looking at the negative things that have happened. What you can’t see is what God has in your future. He wouldn’t have allowed the difficulty if it was going to leave you in a deficit. If you’re going to get the proper assessment, you have to put not just your history on the scales, you have to put God’s grace on the scale.

“What you say goes, God, and stays, as permanent as the heavens. Your truth never goes out of fashion; it’s as up-to-date as the earth when the sun comes up.“

Life can deal you some serious blows. When you’re in pain, you feel isolated. That’s the crippling thing about pain. When we experience it our natural tendency is to shut everyone out. Pain and offense are tools used by the Devil to isolate individuals and make them more susceptible to spiritual attack. If the Devil can use your pain to drive a wedge between a believer and Christ; he is doing his job. For he is constantly looking to devour and deceive. There is nothing worse than experiencing a painful season and feeling unseen. It is a crushing sensation to experience heartache and feel as if nobody cares. Christ knows your pain and emotions, we can be triumphant in our defeats. God see your faithfulness, he see you helping others when you need help. You encouraging that friend, when they need encouragement. May seem like nothing is happening, but God is working. What you can’t see is the what is being loaded up. What you thought would never happen is still on the way.

Don’t be discouraged by who is not for you, by who doesn’t cheer you on – you and God are a majority.

He is breathing in your direction right now. You’re about to come out of the storm that has caused you so much pain. It’s going to happen sooner than you think. There’s a mind altering breakthrough, a promotion, a divine connection, that’s headed your way. The storm appears to linger longer than you can last. It looks permanent, but things are suddenly going to change, suddenly your health turns around, suddenly your child gets back on course. When you go through your storm in faith, thanking God, you help to create an environment to be successful.

God is going to do things that you never dreamed. You may feel like you’re stuck, you’re doing the right things, but the wrong things is happening. The good news is: that the storm is not permanent, it's passing through.

If you could see what’s on the other side of your storm, you would be amazed.

When you trust God when it doesn’t make sense, you’re going to come into favor that doesn’t make sense. Could it be that the disappointment you’re so upset about is really a blessing in disguise? You can’t see it, but it’s a part of a divine plan, a critical piece that God is going to use years down the road to take you where you’ve never dreamed. But right now that situation by itself doesn’t make sense, it seems random, when in fact it’s the hand of God setting you up for increase. Without that challenge you won’t see far and beyond favor that belongs to you. When you go through hard times, it can feel like trouble is all you have known your entire life. It may even feel like it will never end. The truth of the matter is that no one is exempt from troubles and challenges during the course of life. God undertakes to be close to us as we trust Him..

If you’re going to find peace on your path, you have to look past all the wrongs, and see the rights. And sometimes it’s just the fact that you shouldn’t still be here, the opposition should have taken you out, the sickness should have defeated you, how you were raised should have held you back, but you can say, “Lord, thank you that I’m still standing. Thank you, that I still have air to breathe. Thank you, that you’re still for me.” no, it hadn’t turned around completely, but you can thank God that you have the grace for this day. No matter where you are in your process, Keep trusting it. Keep moving. Asking for change without resolving to take action is a recipe for stagnation. You discard the baggage you have no use for as you face new obstacles. When you settle in where you stand, you don’t have a chance to see the miracle that comes when your faithfulness is met by a faithful God.

When you’re dealing with life wrongs, know this: God has graced you for everything you will ever face. God won’t allow a wrong and not give you the strength, the favor, the endurance to go through it. Don’t complain about what comes against you. “Why did it happen? God, it’s too much, it’s not fair.” No, stand strong: you are well able, you’ve been equipped and empowered for every season of wrongs that comes your way. You may be on one of God’s divine detours. The enemy didn’t get control of your destiny – God is ordering your steps. He has not failed you in the past, he’s not going to start now. You keep going through the wrongs with a good attitude. The God of the Bible uses processes that require patience and trust. His goal is to lead you up to, and through, obstacles that seem impossible. God sees clearly what lies beyond all your problems, and what blessing will become if we trust Him to the end.

“God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. Glory to God in the church! Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus!

There may be things in your life right now that you’re disappointed over, that weren’t fair, you don’t understand. One day you’re going to look back and say, “It had to happen. They had to say no.” “That person I trusted had to betray me.” “The door had to close.” “The storm had to come.”

All these things had to go wrong, so you could get to the right place. You have to go through the wrongs before you get to the right. God will give you the promise, he’ll drop the dream in your heart, but if you don’t know how to handle the wrongs, if you don’t realize the wrongs are all a part of his plan, that the wrongs are leading you to rights, then you’ll get discouraged along the way.

The storm is leading you to your destiny. God wouldn’t have allowed it if it was going to stop your purpose. If that person that walked away could stop your destiny, they would be more powerful than God. If that betrayal, disappointment, the closed door could keep you from your purpose, then it would be stronger than God. Yes, it was wrong, it wasn’t hurtful, it didn’t feel good, but you have to understand: it’s leading you to a right. It’s not random, it’s strategic. It’s not the enemy, it’s the hand of God, leading you into something more amazing than you’ve ever imagined. if you don’t know how to go through the wrongs with a good attitude: trusting, knowing that God is still in control, then you’ll be frustrated. Have a new perspective: the detours aren’t random, they’re divine detours. Genesis chapter 50:20, “You did this for evil, but God meant it for good, ” That phrase “Meant it” means “God put me in this position.” Whenever God places you in the path of a storm, he has already provided protection from the storm. Don’t scream, sail on, because God can use your storm as a sailboat to transport you to safe shore.

How do you know God is not using the wrongs in your life to transport you to the top? Do you think somehow that when God was planning your life he was having a bad day? No, those are divine detours. You are still in the palm of God’s hand. Now what you do in the detour, what you do in the wrongs will determine whether you come out or whether you stay there. If you live bitter and upset with how your life is constantly encountering storms, sickness and set backs, you won’t make it to the right place. Keep saying, “I don’t like it, it’s not fair, but I know God is still on the throne. And what’s his purpose for my life will come to pass.” Are you fighting or are you flowing?

There are some storms that you need not try and fight. Don’t try to make it work out your way, quit trying to fix it, it’s a divine detour. You fighting the storm is fighting the purpose of God. You’re not going to win. What you can’t see is the wrong, the storm is leading to a right. It’s taking you to where God wants you to go. Sometimes trouble is transportation, it’s moving you one step closer to where you’re supposed to be. Sometime the storm is part of God’s plan to move you to a divine destanation. Instead of fighting the wrongs, look around at who’s in your life, who can you be a blessing too, who can you encourage, who can you pray for, who can you mentor? Maybe that storm was God moving you into position to impact someone else. Your faith is being tested in every trial you face, but the reward is great to those who do not grow weary and give up.

“The storm hit the ship very powerfully. It was not possible for the sailors to sail the ship straight into the wind. So they did not try to do that any more. Instead, they let the wind blow the ship along.”

Every wrong is not the enemy, sometimes it’s God working out his plan for your life. How you handle the wrongs will depend on whether you see the right. If you see every wrong as the enemy, get upset, try to pay people back, “I can’t believe this happened”, then you’ll get stuck. But when you understand that God has divine detours, that he uses the wrongs, things we don’t understand to move us into our destiny. There are too many people that get stuck in the wrongs, “Why did they leave me? Why didn’t the loan not go through? Why didn’t I get that position.” Here’s a good thought: don’t fight it, flow with it. Yes, it’s painful. But God wouldn’t have allowed it if it wasn’t leading you to the right thing.

It’s a divine detour. Don’t be frustrated by the wrongs in your life. God is in complete control. You have to get through the wrongs to see the awesome things God has in store.

We all have times in life where things go wrong: unexpected challenges, close doors, people that walk away. It’s easy to get discouraged and think “We must have missed it because it didn’t work out.” But God uses the wrongs to move us into our purpose. What looks like a setback is really a divine detour, the hand of God taking us through wrongs that are leading us to rights. We don’t understand it, doesn’t make sense to us, “The door closed, that was wrong.” “They lied about me, that was wrong.” “The pandemic hit, right when my business started, that was wrong.” It seems unfair, but the wrongs are necessary to get to the rights. They’re a part of God’s plan. You couldn’t become who you were created to be without the wrongs. If you don’t understand this, you’ll fight everything that goes wrong. You’ll be upset over that co-worker that mistreated you, bitter because that person walked away, discouraged over that plan you were counting on fell through.

People respond to struggles in different ways. Some feel defeated and beaten down by the burdens they are called to bear. Many begin to blame others for their difficulties and defeats, and they fail to follow the counsel of the Lord. It is a natural tendency to seek the easy road on life’s journey and to become discouraged, filled with doubt, and even depressed when facing life’s struggles. The Lord stands ready to help you through your struggles. We have His assurance, his assistance and His promise that He will be there to assist you in the days of your difficulty. He stands ready to comfort and counsel you in your season of struggles and suffering. God never promised that we wouldn’t have difficulties, but He did promise He would give us strength for every battle, take what was meant for harm and use it to our advantage. God controls the universe, you’re not at the mercy of random events, and people wanting to do you wrong.

“The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.”

Grace morning on this fresh and festive Friday.

In the process of living we will face struggles, many of which will cause us to suffer and to experience pain. Many people will suffer in personal struggles, while others suffer watching their loved ones in pain. God designed the palm tree to withstand the storm. Unlike most other trees, the palm is able to bend so it doesn’t break. There’s a certain kind of palm that can bend to where it’s almost touching the ground. It looks like it’s broken, it appears that it's never going stand up again. The palm tree stands back up, because God put bounce-back in the palm tree. It may get pushed over, but it’s only temporary; a short time later it stands right back up. God has placed bounce back in those that trust him. Some of our struggles involve making decisions, while others are a result of the decisions we have made. We cannot always control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we respond.

“Righteous people will do well, like a palm tree that makes new leaves. They will become strong, like a tall cedar tree in Lebanon. They are like trees that someone has planted in the Lord's house. They grow well in the yard of our God's temple.”

We all probably have not lived a fairytale life, where everything is just splendid. We all have faced failures, heartaches, and disappointments in life - broken relationships, illnesses, unfulfilled dreams, rejection, unanswered prayers, and so on. There are those times in live when we are broken. But there is good news in the midst of our brokeness. We can live a productive life in spite of all our brokenness, mistakes and failures. God can turn the worst experiences in life into an advantage. Sometimes, you need to assess your situation, especially in the midst of tragedy, heartache, or a sense of hopelessness. You need to reflect, to sit quietly, and to determine healthy changes in your personal life. This process allows you to re-build your character, acknowledging that you have worth in God’s eyes. Even when everything falls apart, you can know that the broken and shattered can be given new life. It’s our faith that gives us the courage to believe in what we cannot yet see.

“He was using clay to make pots with his hands. But, as he worked, sometimes a pot had the wrong shape. So he used the clay to make it into another pot. He made it in the shape that he wanted.”

Someone has said that the devil can wall us in, but he cannot roof us over. We can always get out at the top. Our difficulties are but God’s challenges, and many times He makes them so hard that we must get above them or go under. There are times in life when it looks like our problems, the sickness, disappointment, the setback, or the death of a love one, is wearing us down. God wants to encourage you to remain strong in the faith; “after the health issue, the hurt, the betrayal, there’s still a full life ahead of you. Don’t let your circumstances shape your relationship with God. When you feel like you’re falling apart, you’re outclassed, outsized, outnumbered, instead of being discouraged, have this new perspective; that in spite of my current circumstances, I’m coming out on top. Just because you have some twists, turns, trials, and things you don’t understand, that doesn’t mean your life is over. God has an after-this coming.

“After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.”

Life unfortunately, doesn't come with an automatic joy button. Joy might not be easy for you to consider in your times of pain, but by faith, trust that God has a purpose for it and that he has promised to use all things for your good according to his purpose for you. To believe anything less is to believe the lie of an enemy who wants you to give up. Difficult circumstances feel all-consuming at times. It is really hard to see past them to other good things going on. But God’s grace is in all things. In your waking up. In a sunny day. He is in all of it. In the face of difficulties, God shares His will for you and how you should respond to them. A common struggle in life’s difficult times are feelings of helplessness, despondency, disapointment and worry about an unknown future. God does not always give you the big picture, but He will show you the next step.

“If the way that somebody lives pleases the Lord, the Lord will lead him into good things. Even if that person trips, he will not fall. The Lord will hold his hand.”

In the midst of your darkest day, there is a light of hope through Christ that leads you to victory. You may be afflicted in every way but you can never be crushed. You may be struck down but you can never be destroyed. The hope of Christ that is with you is your guarantee that all things you endure are being worked out for your good. Trusting When You Don’t Understand”. We all go through things in life that don’t make sense: the company is downsizing they don’t need me anymore. Sometimes it feels like we’re going backwards. It’s easy to live frustrated and think “God, why is this happening”? But you’re not going to understand everything that happens. God’s ways are not our ways, he can see things that we can’t see. And just because it’s not fair doesn’t mean that God is not in control. You can’t see it right now, but behind the scenes God is lining up things in your favor.

“Don’t lose your grip on Love and Loyalty. Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart. Earn a reputation for living well in God’s eyes and the eyes of the people.”

It may seem impossible to live with a heart that is breaking but God has promised us in his word that He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” He is not slow to help and he will never fail you even when it seems that you are being crushed by the weight of your pain. If you could see the very real battle that is taking place all around you, you would understand that you are being guarded by the forces of heaven. Every step you take as a believer is guided by the hand of God who knows the path you must take to victory. When you lift up your prayers and petitions, you are surrendering all of your struggles to the will of God. You are seeking his strength and his power to help you stand in faith believing the God who who numbered all of your days before even one of them came to be. Nothing in your life is hidden from him.

Grace morning on this so wonderful and winsome Wednesday.

It’s easy to get so caught up meeting other people’s needs, and measuring up to their expectations, that we put ourselves on the back burner. The demands of work, we have a boss to please, spouse to keep happy, pressures of raising children, got to get them to football, the other one to dance, need to run to the grocery store, dinner has to be perfect. Then off to the neighbor’s birthday party, we can’t let anyone down, they’re counting on us. We have this hero mentality, we’re always strong, we’re always the one that comes through, that cheers them up, fixes the problem, that stays late. We’re doing all these good things keeping everyone around us happy. The problem is: we can become depleted, drained, worn out. When you can trust God despite being drained and depleted, you defeat the father of lies who wants you living drained and depleted. You must keep your eyes on Jesus who is able to keep you in perfect peace.

“As we run, we must always look towards Jesus. He is the one who trusted God completely. Our faith starts with him, and he will help us to trust God all the way to the end. Jesus accepted punishment on the cross. He chose to receive much pain. He did not think about being ashamed to die like that. He knew that God had prepared something very good for him that would make him happy. Now he has sat down at the right side of God to rule with him in heaven.”

Anyone can trust God in the good times, but Christ is looking for believers that are able to handle the trials that this life brings and who continue to praise God no matter how big the battle becomes. Whatever ordeal God allows you to bear, he has promised that all things will work for your good and his divine purpose. We know that God is faithful. There is no battle that is stronger than the force of the omnipotence of God.

He sets the time for every trial he allows in your life until it has completed its work. Every one of God’s holy attributes are in the difficulties that he allows you to face. God knew about your struggle long before you were born and he has prepared a perfect way through it for your good.

You might not understand his way, but his mercy and love will never fail you.

Marriages are disintegrating before our eyes and homes are broken leaving only pain and confusion in its place. No matter what struggle you are facing, remember that if you belong to Christ, it is all working his purpose and his plan for your victory. It might not seem like it but God has promised to withhold no good from those who love him. Let your heartache and pain work out that for which God has allowed it in your life. He is not uncaring in all that you endure. This world is not heaven. One day you will see the reason for your struggle. You will also know that God was with you every step of every day. His eyes never left you. He grieves with you in your pain but he sees the end result of your suffering. He knows you intimately. Rest assurely, He will not fail you.

“Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.”

Each struggle brings an opportunity for God to manifest more of his power in you. It is his strength to take us through to the end and our training for the royalty that awaits us in heaven. Yet, there are still times when the answer to our prayers for help seems so far away. Even knowing God has a purpose for our trials, the things that come against us in this world will never make sense to us.

God is not only strategically directing your steps, He’s orchestrating everything around you. He has the people you need, that will be there just when you need them the most. It’s easy to go through life worried about how you’re going to pay your bills, or get out of a problem. You look at all the reasons why it’s not going to work out. But when God laid out the plan for your life, He lined up everything you need to fulfill your destiny: every good break, person, and solution.

It can seem unbearable and crushing especially when you don’t understand why God would allow this struggle in your life. How can the torment that you are experiencing be part of God’s perfect plan for you? It just doesn’t make sense.When you run out of options, when the odds are against you, every circumstance says there’s no way, that’s when God says, “Let me show you why I’m called the great I am, let me show you who controls the universe, how I can cause the right people to show up, how I can break chains that have held you back. You’re not dealing with a weak God, a God that’s looking for ideas, scratching his head, hoping plans will work out. We are dealing with the almighty God.

God is our restorer and able to repay all that’s been lost through difficulties and hard seasons. He promises to work on behalf of His children no matter what we’ve faced. Sometimes the pain we experience is just too much for us to bear. Many may wonder if God is truly with them in all things. The truth that remains is that God is with us in everything and anything that comes against us. Worry will zap your energy, and the cares of this world will drain you dry.

It takes an active choice, diligence, and God’s Spirit within you to help you stay on track, moving in the direction God is leading.

The enemy will lure you toward panic and worry if you focus on all that's wrong in this world. And even when you know the truth and believe that God is in control, there are so many things to be anxious about. It can still be a daily battle in your heart and mind.

“So do not worry about these things. Do not always say, “What will we eat?”, or “What will we drink?”, or “What will we wear?” People who do not know God are always trying to get these things. But as for you, your Father in heaven knows that you need them.”

You will see that even when God appears silent, he is actually preparing your heart for his perfect answer. The wait has a purpose and is part of the plan. Don’t give up. The truth is that if you don’t have faith in the darkness of trouble, then it is not enough for the light of good times. Our faith is proved to be genuine only when it is tested!

Because you keep him first, he can open doors you never dream would open, bring opportunity, influence, favor, resources. The best path is an abundant path, a favor-filled path, a bountiful path. How do you get there? Commit your ways to the Lord, he’ll not only put the right desires in you, he’ll make sure you have the power to do what pleases him. Where would we be without the mercy of God? When we didn’t keep him first, when we didn’t listen to his voice, he still guided us, he still protected us. If your child is off course, keep praying.

We have ideas, goals we want to accomplish, but we’re not sure: is this my plan or is this God’s plan? Is this just an idea I came up with or is it something I should pursue? Is it a part of my destiny? While we may not understand the purpose of our sufferings, bear in mind that Jesus clearly told us that in his word that we would have many troubles in our lives. Right now, Satan is still the prince over this earth but he knows his time is growing short. Those who are surrendered to Christ are dealing with the same painful trials as the lost as the enemy seeks to take down believers all through this world in order to make them ineffective witnesses.

Crisis situations have a way of bringing out the good and the bad in people. Some people are turning to God and others still turn to their own ways. Facing uncertain times can fill you with fear. You may have lost all that you had in this world but the good news is that you can never lose the benefits of God’s mercy and provision for all that you need. Trials are a way to learn patience and to grow in your faith. Every battle in your life has the power to do a greater work in you and to reveal more of God’s grace and strength.

“When life is heavy and hard to take, go off by yourself. Enter the silence. Bow in prayer. Don’t ask questions: Wait for hope to appear. Don’t run from trouble. Take it full-face. The “worst” is never the worst.”

Grace morning on thus fresh and festive Friday.

There is nothing greater than knowing that your struggles are bringing you to the point in life for which God has purposed for you. Every pain and hardship is bringing you deeper into the knowledge of Christ. He is revealing more of himself to you. The reason some people are run down, worn out, not enjoying life, is they have this image to keep up. You have to be five different people: one for your neighbor, one for your spouse, one for your friends, trying to please everyone, keep them happy. Do yourself a favor: take your image off the throne, and put God back on the throne. You are never alone to fight your battles when you belong to Christ. Most importantly, you can’t be destroyed by your pain no matter how hurtful it seems now. No matter how big your problems are, they cannot stop the future for which Christ died to give you. Your pain will not last forever. His love for you will not fail.

“I’ll never forget the trouble, the utter lostness, the taste of ashes, the poison I’ve swallowed. I remember it all—oh, how well I remember— the feeling of hitting the bottom. But there’s one other thing I remember, and remembering, I keep a grip on hope:”

Life happens to us all. You don’t have to explain yourself to everyone. You don’t have to convince people to try to be for you. The ones that are judgmental won’t show you any mercy. You can be sure they have issues too. They have things they’re dealing with that they’re not telling you about. The enemy would love for us all to hide behind a mask, go around pretending, acting like we’re perfect, making sure nobody sees our flaws, projecting this image that we can’t live up too. Everyone is on a journey. The mercy you show others is the mercy that will be shown back to you. When you’re tempted to look down on someone, “I can’t believe they did that. I can’t believe he still struggles in that area”, just remember, if it was not for the grace of God, that could be you. It wasn’t just your own strength, just your own choices, it was the mercy of God keeping it from you.

“It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, Because his compassions fail not.”

Grace morning on this wonderful and winsome Wednesday.

Life is not always easy to live, but the opportunity to do so is a blessing beyond comprehension. In the process of living we will face struggles, many of which will cause us to suffer and to experience pain. Many people will suffer in personal struggles. Have you ever walked through a situation in life that left you wondering why God would allow you to experience the hurt and pain? There is no doubt that some challenges in life are the result of poor choices, but for every believer, the reality is that we will walk through hardship and will experience pain. Yet struggles are a part of the sacred sanctification process. There are no soft or slothful ways to become sanctified to the point that you’re prepared to live in the presence of the Savior. And there can be blessings in the burdens we bear. As a result of these struggles, our souls are stretched and our spirits are strengthened. Our character becomes more Christlike.

“Behold, God is mine helper: The Lord is with them that uphold my soul.”

Do you find yourself struggling to find your God-given purpose in life? The problem with living image-driven is it will wear you out. The pressure of trying to keep up with people, impress your friends, hide how you feel, act like everything’s okay when it’s not. That’s not sustainable. The reason some people are so stressed, run down, is they have their image on the throne. They’re doing thing to protect how they’re seen. But you need to take your image off the throne, and put God back on the throne. You don’t have to perform. You don’t have to pretend. You don’t have to keep up with your friends. If they only accept you if you perform to their standards, they’re not true friends. It’s such a freedom when you can be real, be vulnerable, not worry about what other people think. That’s a treadmill that never stops. It’s a sure way to drain your energy, stop for your creativity, steal your joy.

Grace morning on this marvelous and meaningful Monday.

It’s easy to go through life making decisions based on what people will think. How will this make me look? Will this be impressive? Will this gain me more followers? Will they approve me? When we live image-driven, we can’t be real, we can’t be authentic. We have to hide this weakness or they may think less of us. We have to play up to this person to stay in their favor. We have to drive this, wear this, be seen with these people. We spend so much energy protecting this image we’ve created. There’s nothing wrong with looking good, being successful, carrying yourself with confidence. That’s all healthy. But where it crosses the line is when you become driven by your image. You run everything through the filter of how it’s going to make you look. God knows how to take you from the back to the front. He knows how to send people who will give you new levels of respect and credibility.

Sometimes what’s limiting us are negative things in our family line, that keep getting passed down: addictions, low self-esteem, divorce, lack, bad credit scores, vehicle repossessions.

We get used to it, think it’s just part of who we are.

But part of God’s reversal is putting an end to these negative cycles that keep going from generation to generation. It may have been in your family for years, but every force that’s trying to stop you God is able to brake it. God is bigger than your circumstances. Difficult times may feel like they last forever, but they are temporary. God is present amid the bad times as well as the good. He is always faithful. God wants you to go to Him with your circumstances. He also wants you to come to Him simply to spend time with Him. You should not let your circumstances shape your relationship with God.

God can reshape your view of your circumstances.

God’s generational reversal can start with you.

“And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.”

Life can be going along smoothly for a season. Your job is satisfying. Your friends and family are enjoyable. Your goals, finances, health and outlook seem bright. Then, all of a sudden, life throws a curveball. Someone you know gets sick. You lose your job. A friend or family member betrays you. The things you felt secure in all of a sudden feel shaky and uncertain.Now, you may not see how your situation could ever change, how God could reverse the trouble, the marriage, the finances. Doesn’t look possible in the natural, but God is supernatural. He has ways you never thought of. Don’t talk yourself out of your blessing. Be a believer and not a doubter. God knows how to reverse things. What you’re up against may look permanent. Thoughts will tell you, “You’ll always struggle, never get ahead, never be healthy, never meet the right person”. God has a way of releasing his divine reversal, a supernatural shift can take place in your life.

God causes rules to bend, policies to change, people to make an exception, when he is pushing you into your purpose. He can change people’s minds, cause them to want to be good to you. They don’t even know why: it’s God shining his favor on you, pushing you into your purpose. Although the enemy tells us our weaknesses disqualify us from reaching out to others, God assures us that we aren’t ever supposed to be moving in our own strength and power. Instead, we are to depend upon God. When we do it’s evident to those around us, that it is God at work through us and not by our own strength. During our weakest moments, God’s word encourages us that even when we feel hard-pressed on every side, we aren’t crushed. Whereas the world tells us we have to be strong and ruthless to survive on this earth, it's in our weaknesses where we really find the strength and power we need to face each day.

He’s the one that matters. He controls the universe. He speaks to the Silent Seasons of our lives. He talks to those who are considered mover and shakers. He opens doors no person can shut. One shift and you’ll go from being overlooked to being celebrated, from no one paying attention to people calling for you.God knows how to reverse the order. You may feel like you’re at a disadvantage, limited by your environment, how you were raised, by what you didn’t get, by who’s not for you. Stay encouraged: a reversal is near. God loves to take the overlooked and cause them to shine, to take those who have been discounted, and put them in positions of honor, respect, influence. The last will be first. The discounted will be celebrated. The ignored will be admired.

Life is full of struggles—some easy, some tough. We may struggle to wake up in the morning or study for an upcoming test. We struggle with failures and illness, and struggle to cope with the loss of a loved one. Sometimes the struggle of life wears us down. But struggle is also how we grow. Adversities happen to us all, although some of us experience them more frequently or more intensely than others, but no one totally escapes them. When a crisis does happen, we can either sink under its weight or rise up and flourish. We can grow through the hard times and come out of the crisis better than before. The God we serve knows how to reverse the order. You should have been defeated, you should have lived struggling, but a reversal took place. You went from the back to the front, from being overlooked to being honored, from struggling to succeeding. It may not have happened yet, your reversal is already on God’s schedule.

Life comes with a mixture of merriment and misery. The misery looks permanent, but it’s only temporary. Looks like the enemy has the upper hand, the advantage, but what God has purpose for you cannot be stopped.

God didn’t create you to live at a disadvantage. He didn’t breathe life into you to go around being overlooked.

He didn’t crown you with favor for you to be discounted. You will go through seasons of storms, but don’t think they are permanent. There’s going to be a reversal, a certain and sudden shift, where God moves you from the back to the front, from borrowing to lending, from business slow to business booming, from no customers to “Get in line we’re in overflow”.

Don’t judge your situation too soon, a reversal is on God’s schedule if you remain faithful. You couldn’t have made it happen, people that were against you are now suddenly for you. They wouldn’t give you the time of day, now they look up to you.

“As Jesus was getting into the boat, the demon-delivered man begged to go along, but he wouldn’t let him. Jesus said, “Go home to your own people. Tell them your story—what the Master did, how he had mercy on you.”

We all face times where we feel like we’re at a disadvantage, others have more experience, more qualifications, more resources. Seems like they get the good breaks, the best positions. It’s easy to feel overlooked and left out. God knows how to reverse the order. He loves to promote people who are not next in line, to take those who are overlooked, discounted and push them into their destiny. Being discounted, left out is not how your story ends – a reversal is coming. What looks permanent is only temporary. God didn’t create you to live at a disadvantage. He didn’t breathe life into you to go around being overlooked. He didn’t crown you with favor for you to be discounted. One shift and you’ll go from being overlooked to being in charge, from being left out to leading, from being disrespected to being honored. ‘Don’t get discouraged if you feel like you’re the last so to speak, you’re in perfect position for God to powerfully work in your life.

When you’re in the fire, you may not see what God is doing. You don’t think anything’s changing, nothing’s improving, but you can be sure: that God is in the Fire with you. The beauty of our God is he never let you go in the fire alone. He may not keep you from the fire, but he will make you fire proof. God has the answer to all your problems. This is why the devil likes to remind us of the negative situations. He wants us to think negative. He wants you to stop believing God has the answer. He wants you to think God does not care. Once you fall for it, you will stop praying and believing. In doing so, you cut yourself off from God who is the source of your strength. Then you don’t have his strength anymore and have to rely on our own natural strength. This will result is failing under pressure. The challenge you face is staying faithful in the fire.

It’s amazing what you can do when you’re put under pressure. When the fire is turned up, seeds you’ve never tapped into begin to open up. Do you wish that you will never have another problem and never be under any pressure from now onwards all the way to eternity? Wouldn’t it be nice? However, all of us know that it will not happen. We are living in an imperfect world. What you do in the under pressure matters. How you respond in the pressure will determine whether you come out better or bitter. You’re not going to understand everything that happens. Life’s not always fair. Sometimes it feels like a wildfire, nothing’s working out. If you say you are too busy to pray and spend time with God, you are basically saying that you are too busy to use the strength from God to solve your problems. In fact, the greater the pressure you are facing right now, the more time you should be spending with God.

Some things can only be released in the fire. I wish I could tell you that you’ll reach your destiny with just good breaks, good education, doors opening, people being kind to you, but that’s not reality. God’s formula for success often time is closed doors, disappointments, betrayals, even loss. In one sense we’ve all been in the fire: the pandemic, people have lost loved ones, couldn’t be together, business struggled, loneliness. But God wouldn’t have allowed you to go in the fire if he didn’t have something better coming. Whatever you do, Don’t quit believing! Fire can be a sign that new growth is coming. You might be saying, “I’ve been in the fire too long, nothing has worked out”. God has not forgotten about you. He sees you being good to people that are not good to you, he sees you taking the treatment, not complaining, raising grandchildren, nobody thanking you. Remain faithful in the fire, God can send you a season of great opportunities.

“God is always right and fair. He will not forget all the good things that you have done. You have shown that you love him very much, because you have helped the other believers. And you continue to help them as God's servants.”

You’re not going to look like what you’ve been through.

The story of Moses living on the backside of the desert, can be life changing. He killed an Egyptian foreman, that was mistreating a Hebrew slave. He got out of God’s timing, and had to flee for his life. He was discouraged, felt like he missed his destiny. God came to him in a burning bush. He could have come to him in a cloud, very peaceful, at a lake, very serene. But God came to him in a fire. Moses went over to this bush that wouldn’t burn up. God could have said, “Moses, you blew it, you’ve made too many mistakes, you’ve missed your destiny”? No, God said, you’re still going to deliver the Israelites. That fire was saying, “Moses, you’re about to see new opportunities”. Like Moses you may think you’ve missed your chance. If you’d only made better decisions, been more disciplined, it’s been too long now. Those seeds are still in you. You may have given up, but God has not given up.

The enemy sent the fire to destroy them, but notice how God works: he turned it around, to promote them. Now you may be in the fire now, odds are against you, seems like the weight of pass this storm, is unlike anyone you’re faced in the past. What you can’t see is there’s a fourth man in there with you. When you come out, people are going to see you in a new light. Seeds that have been locked up for years are opening up: seeds of promotion, seeds of influence, seeds of honor. We pray, “God, keep us out of the fire, it’s hot, it’s uncomfortable”, but you can’t reach your full potential without the fire.

Don’t believe the lies that the fire is out of control, “You’ll never get well, you’ll never recover from this mistake, you’ll never meet the right person, never get out of this trouble”. Before the fire ever started God set the boundaries, he planned how long, how much, how hot, He planned the strategy. That’s not a random fire, that’s a control fire. The enemy is not in charge of your life. He cannot do whatever he wants, you are God’s property, you belong to God who is Supreme.

And yes, we all go through the fire, but God has a comeback for every setback, healing for every hurt, mercy for every mistake. You’re not doing life on your own.

God will not mismanage your life. He knows how much fire, how much heat, how much pressure you can handle. He controls the thermostat. If that fire was going to take you out, he wouldn’t have allowed it. You are well able, you are strong in the Lord, you are full of CDP (can-do power). Keep the right perspective: the fiery trail you’re experiencing is not going to burn you up, it’s releasing you into new levels. In fact the fire is all a part of God’s plan, so you can become everything you were created to be. That’s why Peter said (1 Peter 4:12), “Don’t think it’s strange when you face fiery trials”. He could have said, “When you face difficulties, adversities”, but he used the word “Fiery”. God was saying, “Sometimes I’m gonna let you go through the fire, through things you don’t understand, things that are not fair”.

Life has its pleasurable as well as painful seasons. Just when you get over or out of one fire you step into another. You may be in the fire now, thinking, “God, what’s going on in my life? This trouble, this child that’s off course, this medical situation, it’s setting me back”. No, the truth is it’s setting you up. What you can’t see is God is growing you. He can enable you to see new levels of your destiny. He can cause you see new opportunities. It couldn’t happen without the fire. You may not see it yet, but there’s favor in that fire, there’s promotion in that fire, there’s freedom in that fire. The fire is opening up things that you would have never seen. Don’t fight the fire, stay faithful in the fire. The right attitude is, “God, I don’t like it. I’m uncomfortable, but I trust you. I know you’re in control. You wouldn’t have allowed this difficulty unless it was making me better”.

“The purpose of these troubles is to show whether you really trust God. When you believe in Jesus, that is more valuable even than gold. People put gold into a hot fire to see if it is really good. And even gold will come to an end one day. But if you continue to trust God in your troubles, he will be very happy. On the day when Jesus Christ returns and appears to everyone, God will praise you. He will say that you have done well. That will be great!”

In the same way there are seeds that are locked up in you: seeds of favor, seeds of greatness, seeds of purpose. The only way they’ll come out is through fire. We don’t like the fire, being uncomfortable, going through things you don’t understand, friend walked away, medical report wasn’t good. It’s easy to get discouraged. But God won’t allow a difficulty unless he has a purpose for it. There is potential locked up in you, that will only come out through adversity. There are gifts and talents that you won’t discover without going through times when it’s uncomfortable. “God is using his great power to keep you safe, because you trust him. He will continue to keep you safe until the last day, when Christ will return. Then you will know that God has saved you completely from sin and from death.”‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭EEBLive, love, and laugh your way through this worry-less Wednesday!

The National Park in California, there are these huge sequoia trees, they stand over three hundred feet tall, they can live over two thousand years, they’re magnificent trees. On the branches they develop a cone. Inside that cone are the seeds to produce new sequoia trees. What’s significant is those seeds are locked up in the cone, they don’t just naturally come out over time. The seeds can be in the cone hundreds of years and never produce a tree. The only way the cone will open is through fire. Lightning will strike, the heat from the fire will cause the cone to open, the seeds are able to germinate and become what they were created to be. It’s how God designed nature to work. One article talked about how people tried to put out these natural fires for years as quickly as possible, not realizing that was doing more damage to the forest. Now there were no new trees. The fire was necessary for new growth. Likewise God has created a seed in you, growth comes through fiery trials of life.

“My friends, I know that people are causing you to have bad trouble. It is like a fire that is burning you. Do not be surprised about that. These things are happening to you, to show whether you really trust God. Do not think that something strange is happening to you.”

Learn to listen when God’s working on you, chiseling away what’s not necessary, often he’ll do it in private, he’ll keep you hidden, not noticed. But when it’s your time, when God says you’re ready, he’ll cause you to be seen. You’ll become a trophy of his grace. Where people think, “Wasn’t that the old rock that had flaws? Isn’t that the young man who wore sagging pants and a bandanna on his head, now he’s a business owner”? God can cause you to shine, to be an example of what he can do despite imperfections, despite what life throws your way. You may have some things that are limiting you now, don’t worry, God still has his divine chisel, he’s still working on you. God will not stop his chiseling process until the true you is about to come out. What’s been holding you back is being broken. The hurt and shame is being removed. You’re about to become the mended masterpiece God created you to be.

God will not leave you at a deficit, where you are deficient of carrying out your duty. What you didn’t get, what wasn’t fair, what you feel robbed of, God is able to make it up to you, he’s going to pay you back for the unfair things. The enemy put things in your path to keep you from your destiny. But underneath the trouble, the anger, the rejection is a masterpiece. Maybe life have you facing financial struggles, a failing marriage, fickle and fake so-call friends, perhaps you feel life has put you at a disadvantage. God said in Joshua 5:9, “This day I am removing the shame from my people”. This day God is breaking chains. This day strongholds are coming down. This day things that have hindered you are being chiseled away. Through God’s eyes he can see the true you, the blessed you, the free you, the restored you, the joyful you. He can see the masterpiece He created you to be.

“Don’t panic. I’m with you. There’s no need to fear for I’m your God. I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you. I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.”

The enemy would love for you to go through life feeling inferior, focused on your weaknesses, weighed down with regrets, guilt from past mistakes. The enemy want you thinking about what didn’t work out. It is clear based on Scripture that the Joy and Peace that God gives is not the same as the Peace and Joy the world gives.The Joy of the Lord is our strength and the Peace of God surpasses all understanding.The Joy of the Lord gives us strength eachday. Strength to rise above difficult circumstances and to keep going, to keep moving forward each day and not give up. This is a new day. God’s divine chisel is at work. He’s chiseling away wrong mindsets, chiseling away negative words, chiseling away guilt and shame, chiseling away hurts, brokenness and disappointments. God’s chiseling process prepares you to step into a new level of your destiny. The true you is begging to come out, the blessed you, the confident you, the victorious you.

People can’t see what God has put in you. Don’t let their negative words limit your life. Tune it out: you are not who people say you are, you are who God says you are.

He says you’re a masterpiece, he says you have greatness in you, he says you are destined to leave your mark. You may have grew up with a limited mindset, this poverty mentality. And all he had seen was struggle, lack, mediocrity. But we serve a God who has a divine chisel. He doesn’t let how you were raised, what you didn’t get, the odds being against you keep you from your purpose. Little by little God will remove that limited mindset. He will chiseled away the inferiority, not good enough, never make a difference. The true you is not limited by your environment. The true you is not dependent on what other people think about you. The true you is not at a disadvantage because you have flaws and weaknesses, God can chisel away your flaws.

Don’t get discouraged because of who you are right now, God still has his divine chisel, he’s still removing things that are limiting your destiny. You haven’t seen your best days. The rock is still in you. The successful you, the strong you, the stable you, the determine you, the devoted you, the disciplined you, the faithful you, the favored you. Like those two amateur artists that saw a slab of marble, and said it’s unstable, it’s too weak, it has too many flaws. Michelangelo came along and saw the same slab of marble, and sculptured it into a stature of King David. There will always be people that try to discount you, tell you what you can’t become, how you’re not talented enough, you’ve made too many mistakes. Don’t let them talk you out of becoming the true you. The good news is: they’re not your artist, they don’t have the divine chisel. You’re not dependent on what they think, what they can do. Your sculptor is God!

Some people see your flaws, your blemishes, what hasn’t worked out, they’ll even discount you and write you off. Then God comes along. He says, Yes, I see flaws. Yes, I see weaknesses.

But I see something else: I see a masterpiece, I see a blessed, strong, anointed, forgiven, favored child of the God.

It’s not that God doesn’t see the flaws, but he knows how to remove the flaws.

He knows how to make you and mold you to where the best you comes out.

Don’t believe the lies that you’ve made too many mistakes. The mercy of God is bigger than any mistake that you’ve made. The true you is still in you, the blessed you, the faithful you, the honored you, the righteous you. God looks beyond the flaws, the mistakes, the weaknesses, and he sees the best inside you, he sees what you can become. God knows your name. He’s the one that created you. He’s the one that calls you a masterpiece.

“Saul fell down on the ground. He heard a voice which said to him, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you fight against me?’ Saul asked, ‘Lord, who are you?’ He said, ‘I am Jesus. And you are fighting against me.”

God has a unique way of bringing out the hidden masterpiece that you are. He allowed two of the most accomplished artists, very well-known sculptors look at a large piece of marble and said “there was no way we could work with it, it has too many flaws, too many imperfections.” They turned it down because the marble had too many blemishes, defects. They were convinced that it could never stand strong, never be turned into something significant. Yet, young Michelangelo came along, he saw the same block of marble, the same defects, the same flaws, but he looked beyond the imperfections. He said “I see a masterpiece in this rock. I see king David in that marble”. Like those first two artists, other people may look at you and think “They’ll never amount to much, look at their failures, their weaknesses, they struggle with anger, they’re hot tempered”, or “look what they’ve been through. The bad breaks, the disappointments”. Underneath all the flaws is a masterpiece.

“Everyone wanted to see what had happened. They came up to Jesus and saw the madman sitting there wearing decent clothes and making sense, no longer a walking madhouse of a man.”

Grace morning on this marvelous and meaningful Monday.

God can chisel away things that are keeping you from your greatness. Sometimes they're good things, but they're not the best. Trust him when you don't understand. He won't remove something unless he has something better coming. He won't use his divine chisel if it's not going to make you better. May hurt at the time, may be uncomfortable, but God knows what he's doing.

Let God remove what he knows is keeping you from the true you. Unforgiveness is keeping you from shining. Perhaps anger is blocking the best you from coming out. You don't have to be perfect, but you should be growing. You should be better than you were five years ago. You should be kinder, more respectful, a better attitude. You should be more confident.

You should forgive quicker, overlook offenses easier.

You should resist the temptation more. That means you’re letting the chisel chip away things that are hindering your growth. You’re seeing more of the true you coming out.

“Lord, you are everything that I need. I promise to obey your rules.”

Life comes with critics that are at their best when they criticize. You shouldn’t allow what people say to diminish your desire to reach your destiny. Remember you have the Creator of the universe, the God who makes spectacular solar systems, magnificent mountain ranges, amazing sunsets. That’s the artist that’s working on you. He’s chiseling away everything that’s not the true you. He can see things that you can’t see. So often we let our circumstances determine who we are, how people treat us determine our value, how well we perform determine our worth, what someone said determine our self-image. God looks beyond all that. Like in the scripture with David, he sees the giant killer in the shepherd boy. God knows what’s in you. You may have made mistakes, done things you’re not proud of – God sees the redeemed you, the restored you, the honored you. You may be thinking you’re not that talented – God sees the history maker in you.

“I have thought about the way that I live. I have decided to return to your teaching. I will be quick to obey your commands. I will not be slow to do that.”

Someone asked Michelangelo: after he completed the marble statue of king David, how he could make such an amazing statue out of an old piece of rock? He said, "I had a vision in my mind of king David, and I just kept removing everything that wasn't him". That's the way God is. He knows who you really are, he can see the masterpiece in the rock. Throughout life he'll keep removing things that are not who you are: the impatience, the unworthiness. "I'm not valuable, look at what I've been through" - chisel-chisel, that's not who you are. "The pride, the arrogance" - chisel-chisel, that doesn't belong on you. "The unforgiveness, the resentment, they did me wrong" - chisel-chisel, that resentment is not a part of who you are. "I'll never do anything great, nobody in my family is successful." - chisel-chisel. That limited mindset, that mediocrity doesn't belong on you. The good news is: you have someone far greater than Michelangelo working on you.

There are times when God chisels is uncomfortable, we don’t like it. Let God remove the hardness that’s keeping you from going to new levels. When you’ll tempted to get upset, offended, don’t let it sour your day. Recognize that God is chiseling away the impatience. He’s giving you an opportunity to grow. The impatient you will try to keep the true you from coming out. If you’re being overlooked, and mistreated, don’t live offended, trying to get revenge, and pay people back. Let God be your vindicator, let him fight your battles. It’s an opportunity to show God that you trust him, that you’ll stay in peace, not let people steal your joy.

Grace morning on this triumphant and tranquil Tuesday.

On the inside of every one of us is a blessed person, someone confident, valuable, talented, disciplined. The scripture says, “You have been fearfully and wonderfully made”. The word “Fearful” in the original language means to stand in awe, to reverence. It implies honor, respect. When God created you, He looked at you in awe, then he calls you a masterpiece. God didn’t make anyone average. He didn’t say, “I didn’t do very good on that one, they have a bunch of flaws, they’re going to be angry, insecure, jealous, impatient”. No, you’ve been exceptionally made.

You are one of a kind.

But what happens is we go through life and we make mistakes, we develop bad habits, people do us wrong, shame comes, guilt comes, insecurity. We don’t feel like a masterpiece, we feel condemned, not valuable. “How can I be successful, look at how I was raised”? But underneath the insecurity, the bad breaks, the failures, there’s the true you, the one God created.

We all go through silent seasons, where we’re praying, believing, trusting, giving, but nothing is changing. You don’t see any sign that what God promised you is going to happen. In fact, you're tempted to walk away from a dream, or breakthrough. God is more than able to be bring you through every combative circumstance or crises if you’ll just believe. But most of the time it’s not going to be sign. You hear people saying it’s not going to happen, your thoughts telling you “It’s never going to happen in my lifetime”. Don’t be moved by what you see. God sees your faithfulness, he sees you believing when there’s no evidence. You are closer to your breakthrough than you think. The clouds of life might be dark, and the threat of a life altering storm, seem to be headed in your direction. God often times allows storms, so a rainbow of abundance, healing, favor, restoration, divine connections, help you to reach the fullness of your destiny.

Don’t get discouraged because it’s not happening on your timetable, everything is serving God’s plan. When you’re waiting, staying in faith, believing when there’s no sign, you’re growing, you’re showing God what you’re made of. Instead of God proving to you who he is, you’re proving to him who you are. I mean anybody can get discouraged, anybody can be a Thomas, “I’m not going to believe unless I see it.

You have to have a made-up mind. You can’t be talked out of it, you can’t be moved by what you see, because what you see may contradict what God put in your heart. You may not see anything improving. I didn’t see the other side letting up, I didn’t see any sign of progress. If you always got a sign, you’ll never grow, you won’t reach your potential. Where God is taking you is going to take unshakable faith, not moved by what you see, not discouraged because of a lack of evidence. But if you’ll stay in faith, you’re going to come into your private and specific season. Your season will have things suddenly happen, suddenly doors open, suddenly the wrong people are moved out of the way, suddenly your tough times begins to turn around.

Life can look dark in the midst of your faithfulness. When you face dark days, continue to believe in what God has promised you.

He promised you freedom, abundance, basic needs,

but you’ve been waiting and looking, standing in faith, thanking God, but there’s no evidence, nothing is improving, no good breaks, you still can’t catch a break. This is when you have to say, “God, I’m not moved by what I don’t see. I know you’re a faithful God. I’m going to keep looking, keep expecting, keep praising, keep declaring, keep thanking you that it’s on the way”. Don’t let the clear sky fool you. God can change things suddenly. He controls the universe. One touch of his favor and you’ll see the abundance of needs met. You’re not seeing any sign of it? That’s a test to see what you are made of. Are you going to give up, get discouraged, settle for mediocrity, or are you going to keep believing despite what you’re seeing?

“"Turn back, and say to Hezekiah the leader of my people, Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the Lord, and I will add fifteen years to your life."”

God doesn’t have to prove to you that he’s going to do what he’s promised, you’ve seen his faithfulness, you have a history with God. He’s made things happen all through your life that you could have never made happen. Stay in faith where there’s no evidence. Don’t let what you see talk you out of what you’ve heard. It’s very powerful when you can say, “I don’t see any sign of what I’m believing for, but that’s okay, I know God’s on the throne. I know he’s in control. I know what he started he will finish”.

If you need a sign, look back at the goodness of God in your life. Look back at how He brought you through the pandemic, how he gave you strength when you didn’t think you could go on, how he promoted you when you weren’t next in line, look back at how he’s turned your life around, how he brought someone great into your life to love. When you need evidence, look back at the faithfulness of God. The key is don’t let what you see override what you’ve heard. If you’re always looking for a sign, you’re going to get discouraged.

Focus, fasten and fix your heart and mind on what you know God can do, and not what you see.

Life is made up of a series of stops, stumbles, sorrow, sickness and sucesss. You don’t have to see everything to keep moving forward, you’ve matured to the point where you walk by faith and not by sight. Where God is taking you, the amazing future he has planned, is going to require you to believe without a sign, to trust him when there’s no evidence. If you have to see everything to stay encouraged, see it to keep believing, it will limit how high you will go. You have to pass this test of staying in faith when nothing is improving, thanking God when all the circumstances say “It’s never going to change”. And you may be there now, you’ve been praying and believing, but it doesn’t seem like it’s doing any good, you don’t see any evidence, kind of feels like God’s on vacation, he doesn’t even hear your prayers. The silence doesn’t mean God has forgotten about you, it means He is developing you.

Grace morning on this magnificent and meaningful Monday.

We all have goals and dreams and promises we’re standing on, and when we see God’s favor, doors opening, our health improving, the right people showing up, it’s easy to believe, we know God’s at work. But sometimes we’re doing our best, praying, believing, but nothing’s happening. The medical report is not getting better, doors are not opening, your finances are not improving, there’s no sign that it’s going to happen. It’s easy to get down in the dumps and give up on what you’re believing for. But the scripture says “Faith is the evidence of things not seen”. If you can see it, it doesn’t take any faith. If you have the evidence it’s easy to stay encouraged, but to reach your destiny there will be times when there is no evidence. The voice of doubt whispers, “I could just see something improving”, this is when you have to say, “I don’t have to have the evidence. I’m not moved by what I see, I’m moved by what I know know.

“She was thinking to herself, “If I can put a finger on his robe, I can get well.” The moment she did it, the flow of blood dried up. She could feel the change and knew her plague was over and done with.”

Don’t get discouraged by difficulties, it’s just life. The promise we have is not that trouble won’t come, but that the trouble is not going to last. Soon the trouble will be over. When you’re in difficulties, and things happen you don’t understand, it’s easy to live worried thinking “It’s never going to come back around”. You have to remind yourself this promise that it is not permanent. All through the day you need to keep this in your heart, “Father, thank you that this trouble is only temporary, God I truly thank you that it will soon be over”. One reason you get discouraged is, you begin to see trouble as permanent, you don’t see any way to get out. As long as you carry around this “I can’t get it done mentality”, this is how my life is always going to be, you will fill overwhelmed.

If you believe those lies you’ll sink into discouragement , and lose your passion.

Do yourself a favor, Keep trusting in God’s promises.

In life, we have all faced times and seasons of trouble on top of trouble. They don’t look like they’ll ever change, seems like the more you pray the worse it gets. You don’t see any sign of things improving. It’s easy to live discouraged and accept that it’s not meant to be. No doubt, the troubles you’re experiencing now aren’t fun. But the Bible makes it clear they can result in something good. They’ll make your faith stronger. The trouble is not going to last forever. You may be in a difficult time, but that's not how your story ends. That loss is not going to define you. Your present troubles are small and won’t last long. Problems are necessary. They are an indispensable part of preparing you for next level growth. What you’re up against may look permanent, seems like it’s going to take years to get out of debt, or get over the hurt. The trouble is only temporary It’s not going to last very long.

Life is some time impacted by our decisions or choices, whether they are negative or positive. Are your thoughts limiting you or your thoughts empowering you? Are you thinking thoughts of defeat, worry, shame, can’t-do-it or are you thinking thoughts of victory, favor, breakthroughs, abundance? There’s a battle taking place in your thinking. The very best thing you possibly do is to start closing the door to the negative. You control the access. Be selective. Don’t just let anything in. Wrong thinking will keep you from your destiny. Start erasing and replacing. Erase the negative, don’t give it the time of day, and then replace it with God’s word, with positive, faith-filled thoughts. God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. If you’ll do this, you’re going to have more peace, more joy, more favor. Forces that have held you back are going to be broken. You can rise higher, accomplish your dreams, and go further than you’ve ever imagined. It’s not too late!

Don’t let the challenges during the day unset your mind – keep it stayed on him, keep it full of praise, keep expecting good things, keep believing for what God promised you. Keep your mind filled with faith, pray “Father, we know you can make a way where we don’t see a way. Thank you, that you’re causing our problems to become a platform for our praise. Thank you, that your favor surrounds us like a shield”. When the storms of life are raging and it appears that you can’t see your way through. Remember there absolutely nothing that is too hard for God. He knows how to open doors you can’t open. He knows how to turn your child around, how to free you from friction that you’re facing with your family. Don’t believe those lies that things are not going together better, it’s too late, the odds are against you. Say, “No, thanks, you’re not welcome here. I’m going to keep my mind stayed on him”.

God’s mercies are new every morning. Not every afternoon, not every evening. Each morning you need to receive the new mercy. How you start the day many times will determine what kind of day it’s going to be. Don’t ever start the day in neutral. Don’t wait to see what kind of day it’s going to be, determine what kind of day is going to be. Make up your mind, “This is going to be a great and productive day, I’m going to enjoy my family, I’m going to honor God, I am grateful to be alive”. Things will happen that will try to unset you: challenges, denials, disappointments, delays, people that are rude. You can’t stop that from happening, but you can choose to not let it get on the inside. When worry comes, “No, my mind is set. God is still on the throne, he’s in control of my life”. When offense comes, don’t get upset, say “God is my vindicator, he’s fighting my battles”.

Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see -- the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you. 2 Chronicles 20:17

No, this mind is full of faith. Complaining knocks, discouragement, “Sorry, no vacancy, this mind is full of praise. Father, thank you for what you’ve done. Thank you for fighting my battles. Thank you for surrounding me with favor”. When worry comes, “What about these gas prices? You see the news, inflation” – “Sorry, no vacancy. Father, thank you that you’re Jehovah Jireh, the Lord my provider. The economy is not my source, my job’s not my source, I know you’re my source, I know I’m connected to a supply line that will never run dry”.

There’s nothing more valuable, more important, more sacred than your mind. Guard against letting destructive thoughts in?

You should never knowingly allow fear to roam around? In fact, the same thing go for allowing worry to have free reign? Why are you allowing doubt, and you-can’t-do-it, it’s-never-going-to-work-out to have a seat on your mind? You have complete control over what you let in. You can’t stop it from coming, it may knock on the door of your mind, but you don’t have to give it access. When fear knocks, let faith answer the door. Next time doubt shows up saying, “It’s too big, it’s never going to come to fruition, you don’t have the right connections”, just say, “Not Welcome”.

Your attitude and thought process should be, “I know who I am: I’m a masterpiece, I’m one of a kind, I’m made in the image of God, I’m crowned with favor, I’m wearing a robe of righteousness. I have been fearfully and wonderfully made”.

“Do everything readily and cheerfully—no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God.”

In life, negative thoughts are going to come, but if you’ll learn this principle to erase and replace, then you won’t give in to the worry, fear, and discouragement. You wake up in the morning, thoughts whisper “It’s going to be a lousy day, I have so many problems, I don’t feel like going to work”. If you believe that it’s true, you’ll go around discouraged and defeated. But a better approach is to say, “No, thanks, I’m not going to dwell on those discouraging thoughts. I control the doorway, and don’t have to allow them in. I’m going to erase them,

and replace them with some better thoughts: This is going to be a great day.

It’s another day the Lord has made. Thank you that you woke me up this morning. Thank you that you have a bright future in store for me”. You can’t think lack and have abundance. The battle is taking place in your mind. Be selective of what you allow in.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:”

Grace morning on this fresh and festive Friday.

Living stressed is not healthy physically, emotionally nor spiritually. What will hinder you from experiencing peace, is that your mind is stayed on the problem, staying on what’s not working out. God said, “If you’ll make a switch, if you’ll keep your mind stayed on me, if you’ll think positive, hopeful, faith-filled thoughts, then I’ll give you peace in the midst of the problem”. One small tweak can make a life changing difference. Instead of going through the day worried about your future, how you’re going to make it, a small tweak, “Father, thank you that you have me in the palm of your hand. I know you’re ordering my steps. You said no good thing will you withhold because I walk uprightly”. Now instead of your thoughts defeating you, draining your energy, limiting your future, you’re using your thoughts to encourage you, to empower you, to embrace your faith. Worrying won’t make a problem disappear, but trusting will give you peace, if the problem remains.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

Thursday 07/28/20Grace morning on this thankful Thursday. If your mind have shifted into thinking can’t-do-it thoughts and I’m-not-enough, the situation is so overwhelming, you’re drowning in defeat. The wrong shift is making you weaker, your gifts are being pushed down, your faith is being diminished. Why not try shifting your thoughts into the positive and productive promises of God. God’s favor will guard your mind, if you’ll be selective in what you’re dwelling on, if you’ll keep it stayed on him? Psalm 1:2 put it this way, “But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” Meditate means to think about over and over. Really worry is meditating, it’s letting the negative play again and again. Some people have this principle down, they have become professional worriers. The problem is: letting the negative continually play over and over. Why don’t you switch what you’re meditating on? It doesn’t take any more energy to believe than it does to worry.

Or how about when the evil enemy consistently tell you lies like, “You’ll never get up from this fall, never come out of debt”. Don’t let that play in your mind. If you do, you’re defeating yourself, that’s keeping you from seeing God’s favor. Erase it, that’s the first step, I’m not dwelling on that anymore, then take the next step and replace it. “Father, thank you that what you started in my life you will finish. What I’m up against is not permanent. I know and believe breakthroughs are coming, financial freedom is coming, victory is coming”. Get your mind going in the right direction, and your life will go in the right direction.

Life comes with problems, pain, and predicaments, but the simple principle is when a negative thought comes, erase it and replace it. It’s not enough to just not think negative thoughts, once you make the decision “I’m not dwelling on that anymore, I’m not allowing worry to weaken my will to be a warrior in spite of my wounds. Once you erase the negative, replace it with a positive thought. Don’t leave your mind empty. The thought comes, “Nothing good’s in your future”, dismiss it, take the next step, “Father, you said my latter days will be better than my former days”. The right approach is, “Yes, there’s a lot of uncertainty, I don’t know how it’s all going to turn out, but God, I know you’re my provider. Just as you take care of the birds of the air, you feed and clothe them, I know you’ll take care of me”. Instead of keeping your mind stayed on your problems, keep it stayed on what God promised you.

Grace morning on this marvelous and meaningful Monday.

Life comes with bumps, bruises, burdens and blessings. The best way to deal with all of them is through cognitive response. If the thought is negative, discouraging, bring in worry, fear, do yourself a favor, don’t let it in. It’s not complicated: don’t dwell on it, don’t give it the time of day. But too often when these negative thoughts come, we don’t think twice. We just allow them access, go around worried, discouraged, intimidated. Start paying attention to what you’re dwelling on. When discouraging thoughts come, “Nothing good is in your future. Don’t even get your hopes up, you’re going to be disappointed again”. Before you dwell on that, before you let it take root, ask yourself: where is this thought coming from? If it’s not positive, hopeful, encouraging, it’s not from God. That’s the enemy doing what he does best, trying to plant negative seeds, fearful seeds, inferior seeds, depressing seeds. What is your mind stayed on? What are you dwelling on throughout the day?

“Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.”

Sometimes the draining moments which you face might make you feel like God has forgotten you. You watched him turn situations around in the past, but this problem seems like it's never going to go away. God is still able to turn it around. It might very well be unlike you have ever experience him turning things around. You have to have a determination, a made up mind, where you simply say, "I am in it for the long haul. Turning back is definitely not an option. You have to stay in faith, when the change is taking longer than you thought it would.

The negative things that you have to deal with can depressing and overwhelming. The cross of Calvary reminds us that God uses dark, depressing, and disappointment to bring deliverance. Tell your current situation, “I'm not giving up. I'm sticking around to see what God is going to do. I know he will make things right". Continue to have an attitude of faith, "I've come too far to stop now". You have to believe God will turn it around.

Life circumstances will attempt to convince you that you don’t have what it takes. It’s easy to get discouraged, give up on your goals, vision, dreams, believing the negative things what people say. You’re underestimated on purpose, it’s all in the plan of God. He is able to do something that you’ve never seen. Don’t discount what you have. It may be small now, but when God places his favor on it, it’s going to multiply. New doors are able to open with opposition and obstacles being obliterated. When you’re underestimated, you’re going to have times where the odds are against you, all the facts say, “There’s no way it’s going to happen, You don’t have the funds. This sickness is permanent”. This could mean God is in the process of placing people in your path that will purposely pray and pull you through your pain until your promotion or breakthrough arrives. God has a way of using the negative things designed to destroy you, bring delight to you.

Don’t go through life thinking you’re at a disadvantage, you’re lacking. You have everything you need. People may underestimate you, that’s a part of God’s plan, but don’t underestimate yourself, don’t discount yourself, don’t talk yourself out of the greatness God put in you. Like David that slew Goliath, you might ‘say all I have is this slingshot”. All you need is a slingshot. You’ll be amazed at where you can go with a little talent, little courage, a little faith, a little determination. If you stay focused on what you don’t have, you’ll talk yourself out of it. The right approach is, “Yes, the people are big. Yes, the task is too great, but God, we know you being for us is more than the world being against us. We know, you allow us to be underestimated, so you can show your power in greater ways”. When God breathes on what you have, you will defeat enemies that are bigger, overcome obstacles that look impossible.

You don’t need great talent to do something great. You don’t have to have great resources to leave your mark. You don’t have to come from an influential family to make a big difference. But if you live thinking, “If I just had something better, better than this present job, if I just had more talent, more education, more finance, more friends that I can count on, more fame, more personality, more courage”, that’s going to limit you. Here’s the key: you have exactly what you need to fulfill your destiny. May seem like it’s small compared to others, but that small with the favor of God, will take you to places you never dreamed. It’s not others holding you back, it’s the lies you’re buying into. “I’m too small, too old, too shy, too clumsy, not strong enough. Many times it’s not other people underestimating us, we’re underestimating who we are. Don’t discount what you have: if you needed more God would have given you more.

“Moses raised another objection to God: “Master, please, I don’t talk well. I’ve never been good with words, neither before nor after you spoke to me.

You have to know on purpose God is causing you to be underestimated. People not believing in you, discounting you, feeling like you’re way over your head. That’s a sign that you’re right where you’re supposed to be. God is positioning you to do something great in spite of being underestimated.

“And how bold and free we then become in his presence, freely asking according to his will, sure that he’s listening. And if we’re confident that he’s listening, we know that what we’ve asked for is as good as ours.”

Grace morning on this terrific and tranquil Thursday.

We’re living in a society, where people are quick to denigrate you rather than delight in what God is doing in you and through you. Don’t let what they say determine your self-worth. They may not believe in you, they may see you as less than, they may say things that try to push you down, discount you. Don’t let those lies take root, live inferior, insecure, not pursue your dreams. You have to do like David: let it go in one ear and out the other. They’re underestimating you, but you know this principle: God uses underestimated people. It’s a setup. He’s about to show out in your life. It is so important that you don’t let how other people treat you determine your value.

To reach your destiny you have to tune out all the naysayers, the intimidations, the can’t-do-it thoughts.

You have to know on purpose God is causing you to be underestimated. Don’t get discouraged when people don’t believe in you, try to talk you out of it. It’s good to be underestimated. That means God is about to elevate you to new levels.

“Open up before God, keep nothing back; he’ll do whatever needs to be done: He’ll validate your life in the clear light of day and stamp you with approval at high noon.”

Life is filled with I Can’t See it Moments. How did she marry that man, I don’t see it? How did she defeat the cancer, did you see with the report? How did he become so successful, Do you know what neighborhood he was raised in? God loves to take underestimated people and do something awesome. The reason he puts you in situations that are too big, too strong, too much, it’s not to defeat you, but to establish you. When God turns it around, when you discover the greatness inside, when you step up and defy the odds, people will see you in a whole new light. Don’t be discouraged when you’re underestimated, embrace being underestimated. God loves to take the underdog, and cause them to shine.

When people don’t believe in you, they’re discounting you, writing you off, all the facts say, “It’s never going to happen”, but you’re in perfect position for God to insert another “ I Can’t See it Moment in your life”.

Grace morning on this tranquil and triumphant Tuesday.

We all have faced our share of CAN’T SEE IT MOMENTS. Can’t see how to make ends meet, overcome this huge financial debt, meeting that special person, forgiving the person who wrong you, the list could go on. Looking at your situation from a natural perspective, can prove to be frustrating, but you have something on the inside, the seed of Almighty God. It will take you where you can’t go on your own. But sometimes doubt will whisper, “You don’t have what it takes. How could you accomplish that dream? Where are you going to get the funds?

How can you leave your family better off? You’re barely making it each week. How can you get that promotion? Your co-workers more qualified, they have more training”. God uses underestimated people. When you’re looked down on, told it’s not going to happen, trusting God can make the difference.

It’s going to be uncommon.

People are going to be scratching their heads: how did you become that successful?

God knows how to vindicate you. He knows how to restore your reputation. May seem like people have done things that have permanently set you back, your motives were right, your heart was pure, but things happen that put you in a bad light. Like with Joseph, you’re in that season of disrespect, loss of credibility, people discrediting you. Your time is coming. God sees you doing the right thing. He sees you being a Joseph: not complaining, not holding a grudge, not giving up on life. It’s interesting that it wasn’t someone on the outside that tried to keep Joseph from his purpose, it was his family. Sometimes the people closest to you will not believe in you, not treat you with respect, say things that are hurtful. It’s tempting to retaliate, live offended, bitter. You have to give it to God. Leave it in his hands. You can’t dwell on what they said, or on what they did, sometimes they don’t even know why they did it.

“The Lord does not need swords or spears to save his people. Everyone here will soon know that! The Lord is the one who fights for us. He will make us strong to win against you.’”

We all face times when what we’re up against is too big for us: the dream too great, problem too strong, the opposition too powerful. People will rule us out, you begin to think, “It’s never going to happen, I don’t have the resources, I don’t come from the right family, the medical report is not good”. All the facts say “It’s impossible”, but God on purpose will have you underestimated. When it seems the least likely, that’s when he shows up the greatest. Don’t get discouraged when you’re underestimated, it’s about manifesting what he has put inside you. God put you in that position to show himself strong. When you defy the odds, everyone will know his favor is on your life. But when you’re outnumbered, out-sized, out-trained, out-educated, don’t be surprised if people discount you, tell you “You’re not talented enough, tall enough, strong enough, experienced enough”. That all may be true, but what they can’t see is what God put in you.

Life often comes with ‘Pushes’. There are seasons when you experience being pushed over, pushed aside, pushed backed, pushed around, pushed under and even pushed down.

Don’t ignore your ‘Push Seaon’, because the more people push you down, the more God lifts you up.

God will always have the right people that will be for you. The ones that matter will see the best in you, they’ll want to stand up for you, help you move into your purpose. You don’t have to find them, they’ll find you. You don’t have to convince them to be for you, they’ll want to be for you.

There may be seasons where you have to endure disrespect, being pushed aside, pushed over, pushed back, pushed round, pushed under, pushed down, and it appears to be seen in a bad light, but that is not how your story ends. Just stay faithful, keep doing the right thing, keep fulfilling your purpose. There will come a when the slanders are silenced and the haters humiliated.

There will come a time when the hurt will stop, and you’re being promoted, you’re being honored. The truth will come out. God is in control of your reputation. As long as you’re honoring him, at the right time vindication is coming. You will come out of it not with less respect, but with more respect than they had not tried to hold you down. What was meant for your harm God will turn to your advantage. You can have the best intentions, the purest motives, but there will always be people that try to mischaracterize you.

They may not be bad people, sometimes they’re just jealous. They don’t want to see you succeed. You don’t have to guard your reputation, but you do have to guard your heart.

They don’t want to let someone new in. God is going to take care of your reputation, the question is: are you going to take care of your heart? It’s easy to get offended, bitter, live upset.

“Whoever wants to embrace life and see the day fill up with good, Here’s what you do: Say nothing evil or hurtful; Snub evil and cultivate good; run after peace for all you’re worth.

You may be in a situation now where people are coming against you, saying things that are not true, you’re tempted to get all riled up, straighten them out. No, don’t come down to their level. Don’t let them bait you into conflict, they’re a distraction. Your enemy and their evil, are trying to lure you out of your purpose, so you’ll waste time on things that don’t matter. Stay on the wall. Their disrespect cannot stop you unless you come down. Their lies, slander, innuendo is nothing but noise, it’s nothing but negative chatter.

There’s nothing people can say, nothing they can do that can keep you from your purpose. There may be seasons of disrespect, where it looks like they’re getting the upper hand, but your time is coming. You can trust the faithfulness of God. Because you belong to the sovereign Lord, because you’re his child, he will bless you because of His reputation. It’s not just who you are, it’s whose you are. If you were sitting around being mediocre, no one would care. The fact that people are trying to discredit you, trying to make you look bad, that’s a sign that you’re doing something right, you’re making a difference, you’re leaving your Mark. Some people are so small-minded, so insecure, they will never celebrate the favor on your life. That jealous spirit will cause them criticize you. Just ignored them and keep working.

You would think with all the negative talk, all the rumors, slander, lies, you would have missed your purpose down through the years. But people don’t control your destiny. They can try to defame, denounce, mischaracterize, and destroy your reputation. If what they said could stop your purpose, they would be more powerful than God.

Don’t make the mistake of engaging in battles that you’re not supposed to engage in. When false accusations come, rumors, slander, the best thing you can do is take it in stride. God is turning on the ovens, and setting the table. Now there’s a seat for you, there’s a place at this table where God is going to show you favor in front of those that tried to push you down.

God is not going to vindicate you in private, he’s going to do it in public, so the very ones that treated you the worst, who purposely mischaracterized you, they will see you promoted, honored, in positions of influence and respect.

He knows when someone is slandering you, mischaracterizing you on purpose, spreading rumors. Stay on the high road, and at the right time God will vindicate you, he’ll defend your reputation. But if you make the mistake of getting upset, trying to pay them back, straighten them out, then you’re sinking down to their level. You always go down to engage with a gossip, with the person that says things to demean other people. Recognize who you’re dealing with, that’s not a person who is kind and thoughtful toward others, that’s not a person of integrity, someone that will believe the best, that will be happy if you succeed. You’re not supposed to be down grading, gossiping, finding fault, pulling people down, you’re an eagle, you were created to soar. Stay up on those high levels where you belong.

God may not stop people from scandalizing your name, he may not shut them up, he may cause you to shine in the face of what they’re doing. Sometimes that’s a bigger miracle. All the negative chatter, with people trying to make you look bad, saying things that are not true, but in spite of all that you keep excelling, you keep growing, you keep smiling, you keep being good to people, you keep seeing favor and promotion. God knows how to take care of your reputation. David said, “God prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies”. We think, “Lord just get rid of my enemies, shut them up, change their mind, show them that they’re wrong”. God says, “No, I have a better way: I’m going to promote you while they’re still talking.

In life people don’t have to be quiet for you to reach your potential. They may keep spreading lies, slandering, putting you in a bad light, but they cannot stop your purpose. They don’t have that much power. If you don’t understand this principle, you’ll live upset, thinking of ways you can shut them down. Don’t let the offense, the bitterness, the poison get in you. You do your part, and God will do his part. He’ll take care of your reputation. And sometimes he’ll stop the negative things from being said, and vindicate you. Other times he’ll let them keep talking, keep stirring things up. He makes them ineffective. They’re trying to discredit you. What they said, what they did, should have caused others to look down on you, should have kept you from that promotion, close doors, but God took away all the sting, he took away all the power. Now they’re just a bunch of irrelevant noise, nobody that matters pays any attention to them.

When you’re double-minded you can’t expect to receive anything from God. You have to make up your mind: are you going to believe what God promised you? Or are you going to let doubt, negative voices convince you that it’s not going to happen? “Well, you saw the medical report, your chances are slim. You’ll never be successful”. Do yourself a favor: tune that out. Don’t let doubt destroy your destiny. Have an unwavering mind, “My mind is made up. I believe that I received it when I prayed, now my mind is set. I’m not moved by what I don’t see, I’m not going to let people talk me out of it. I’m not going to let time convince me it’s not going to happen. I’m not going to let the circumstances, nor conditions cause me to waver. See, doubt comes to us all. When those negative thoughts come, have a “No vacancy” sign, “Sorry, no room for you. My mind is filled with faith.

That’s all good, but they don’t control the universe, they didn’t speak worlds into existence, they didn’t part Red Seas, they didn’t raise Lazarus from the dead. Our God is all powerful, nothing can stand against him. When he speaks angels go to work, forces of darkness are broken, good breaks come chasing you down. What you’ve received in your spirit may look impossible, the odds are against you, but it’s nothing for our God. One touch of his favor can free you from lack to abundance, bring you out of struggle into overflow, out of loneliness into great relationships. God is faithful. He sees you believing when you’re not seeing, praising when you could be complaining, thanking him when it’s not improving. It’s just a matter of time before you see the breakthrough, the promotion, the healing, the victory.

He sees when people are mischaracterizing you, on purpose trying to make you look bad, questioning your motives. Nothing goes unnoticed. The mistake we make is: we get into fight mode, “I have to fix this, this is not right”, but trying to fix it is only going to make it worse. Once you fix this person, something else will come up, then another and another. The problem is, some people don’t want to understand you. If you did everything they asked, if you changed and became who they want you to be, they’re still going to find fault. It takes all the pressure off when you put your reputation in God’s hands.

But what happens when you’re being your best, you’re honoring God, but other people do things that tarnish your reputation, say things that aren’t true, take things out of context to try to make you look bad, slander, innuendos, rumors? You weren’t there to defend yourself, you couldn’t tell your side of the story, now something was said that lessens your credibility, people have the wrong opinion of who you are. It’s tempting to try to straighten people out, prove to them that what they’re saying is wrong. But if you get on that treadmill you’ll never get off, because there will always be someone saying something not true, mischaracterizing what you did, questioning your motives.

When life is really going bad for you, it doesn’t do any good to pray for something and then go talk about how it’s probably not going to happen. Don’t cancel out your prayer with negative talk. “We prayed for my finances, I don’t know though, do you see the news? The economy is rough, pandemic set me back, I don’t see how I can get ahead.” You can’t pray for victory and talk defeat. When you believe that you received, then it’s a different mindset, it’s not “I hope it’s going to work out”, there’s a knowing. When we ask in faith, when you receive it into your spirit, you can be confident that in the unseen realm something shifts, favor is set into motion, angels are dispatched. It’s not I wonder “If it’s going to happen”, no, it’s “When is it going to happen”. I am confident in the God we serve that he is faithful, that what he started he will bring to pass.

“When the disciples had Jesus off to themselves, they asked, “Why couldn’t we throw it out?” “Because you’re not yet taking God seriously,” said Jesus. “The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, ‘Move!’ and it would move.

Mark that time that you prayed, let that be a reminder “That’s when it happened”. When doubt comes, discouraging thoughts try to talk you out of it, you can go back to that first time you prayed. Now the test is when you don’t see anything changing, thoughts whisper “Nothing happened. You didn’t get healed, you’re just the same. You prayed, but you’re still struggling financially, your life is still in shambles. “Something would have improved by now”, don’t believe those lies. The enemy would love to talk you out of what God put in your spirit. You received it by faith, now you have to walk by faith. Just because you don’t see anything happening doesn’t mean that God is not working. In the unseen realm what you received in your spirit became a reality. Just a matter of time before it comes to fruition.

If you’re always asking God for the same thing over and over, pleading with him, “God, turn my child around. God, help me in my finances.

This is where you show God what you’re made of. “God, I’m asking you to help me in my finances. Lord, give me this scholarship so I can go to college.” You put your request before God, that’s what the scripture says. You ask in faith, now believe that it happened. Not that it’s going to one day, believe that God granted that request, believe that your answer is on the way. You don’t know when, may not happen your way, but believe it when you pray.

God is not going to shout, be loud, forceful, he’ll lead you by gentle whispers, by the still small voice. When you honor God, he’ll tell you secrets, he’ll whisper things in your spirit that you had no way of knowing. When you listen to the still small voice, you’ll come across blessings, favor, good breaks, things you had no way of knowing. You can’t explain it, you don’t have any data to back it up, but you do have the spirit of God living on the inside of you. Some of these whispers are destiny moments. They are vital for you staying on track. A gentle whisper won’t always make sense, may not seem logical, the facts say otherwise: trust the whisper, obey the promptings, the knowings, the still small voice. You’ll be able to rise higher.

“God-friendship is for God-worshipers; They are the ones he confides in. If I keep my eyes on God, I won’t trip over my own feet.”

Grace morning on this tranquil and terrific Tuesday.

If you’re going to listen to the whisper, you have to have your ear tuned to what you’re feeling. Don’t let the loud thoughts drown out the gentle whisper. Develop your ear to where the whisper becomes the loudest voice. God knows the future. He knows what we’re going to need, what to avoid, what not to do. At the time we may not understand it, doesn’t make sense, we’re uncomfortable, but you can trust the whisper, you can trust that knowing. Not in your mind, but in your heart. Don’t override the still small voice. God is leading you down the best path.

You can’t accomplish your purpose on your own. The whispers are what gives you an advantage. The whispers will give you inside information. The reason God whispers is because he’s close to you. You don’t whisper to strangers, you don’t whisper to people you barely know you, you whisper to your spouse, you whisper to your children, you whisper to someone you love and trust.

“Everyone who knows you, Lord, trusts in you. You will never turn away from anyone who comes to you for help.”

God sees the big picture, he knows how to connect the dots. You’re never going to understand at the time all he’s doing, how he’s arranging, moving, preparing. Anytime you feel that whisper, it may be to be good to someone else, but it will also be instrumental in reaching your destiny. There will be times that you’re uncomfortable, you have to stretch, push past the fear, the uncertainty, and do what you know God is asking you to do. Every act of obedience leads to a blessing. You may not see it right now, but down the road God will connect the dots. The gentle whisper may be telling you to forgive, to let go of the hurt, to quit holding that grudge. That’s uncomfortable, your mind will say “No way, they hurt you too badly”. You get to choose which voice are you going to obey: the loud, forceful, “Don’t change, take the easy way out” voice? No, let the gentle whisper be the voice you follow.

“ If you will listen obediently to what I say and keep my covenant, out of all peoples you’ll be my special treasure.””

How many times is God whispering to you throughout the day, but we’re not sensitive to it? Just a whisper: slow down on the freeway, be kinder to your spouse, call that friend and encourage them, stop by and see your parents, take care of yourself. Gentle whispers. They’re not loud, God’s not going to force you to do it, it’s just an impression. You have to give your ear to what God is saying. You have to be a listener. Be sensitive to that whisper. What you feeling in your spirit may not be just words. It’s a strong possibility, that God shedding light on your situation. I’ve heard it said “The loudest voice in your life should be the still small voice”. The whispers will be quiet, other voices, thoughts, reasoning, people’s opinions, news will be much louder, but you have to learn to give the whispers the most attention. When you let the still small voice be the voice you follow, you’ll make the best decisions.

“Lord, keep me safe from the power of wicked people. People who like to fight want to hurt me. They want to knock me down!”

No matter how good the opportunity, no matter how impressive, if you don’t have peace about it, don’t move forward. Just the opposite:

it may seem impossible, the odds are against you, the circumstances say it’s not going to happen, but if you have that peace, that knowing, take that step of faith. When you develop this skill of listening to the whisper, following that still small voice, God will not only take you further, but he’ll protect you from things that would have caused you heartache and pain. If you’ll be sensitive to that still small voice, not talk you out of it, God will lead you places that you’ve never dreamed. The Holy Spirit is on the inside of each one of us. He’s called our helper, our counselor, our guide. The more sensitive we are to his whispers, what we’re feeling, the promptings, the further you’ll go. When you let the still small voice be the voice you follow, you’ll make the best decisions.

There are times these whispers are going to ask you to do things that you don’t understand, things that don’t make sense. If you reason it out and look at it only from a logical point of view, you’ll talk yourself out of it. This is when faith comes in. “God, My mind is telling me all the reasons not to do this, but Lord, I trust you. I’m gonna follow that still small voice in my life”. No matter how good the opportunity, no matter how impressive, if you don’t have peace about it, don’t move forward. Just the opposite:

“May God, our very own God, continue to be with us just as he was with our ancestors—may he never give up and walk out on us. May he keep us centered and devoted to him, following the life path he has cleared, watching the signposts, walking at the pace and rhythms he laid down for our ancestors.”

You don’t know what people are going through, you can’t judge by the outside. That whisper is God leading you. The more you obey this still small voice, the more God can entrust you with. Sometimes you feel an unrest, and uneasiness, like an alarm is going on, telling you to do something, or stay away from that person, don’t take that business deal, don’t get involved in that situation. It looks fine, everything seems okay. Don’t go against the whisper. God sees things that we can’t see. He knows where the dead ends are, he knows the people that are going to pull us down, waste our time. When we look back over our life at mistakes, disappointments, failures, most of the time if we’re honest, we can see how God tried to warn us, we felt the uneasiness, we knew something wasn’t right, but we wanted our way so badly we overrode it. God is not, keeping you from something good, he’s keeping you from heartache.

Don’t live with a scarcity mentality. You have to allow GOD to bless you.

Quit believing those lies that you don’t deserve it, you come from the wrong family, you’re not that talented, you’ve reached your limits.

God needs you to build his kingdom. He’s counting on you to make the world a better place. He’s destined you to take your family, finance, and future to whole new level of growth and development. God wants to entrust you with resources, influence, that you’ve never imagined. Be faithful where you are. Honor God with what you have. He’s looking for people that keep doing the right thing when it’s hard. He’s looking for people that have a passion to build his kingdom. He’s looking for people that don’t let bad breaks cause them to live better. Others that haven’t honored God, seems like they’ve passed you up, they’ve gotten good breaks, gone further, there’s about to be a shift. You were in the background, now you’re in the foreground.

Don’t be discouraged, your time is coming. It’s going to happen suddenly, out of the ordinary, you couldn’t have made it happen, it’s the hand of God. He blessed the lives of Nehemiah, Ruth and Joseph, with a transfer. None of their circumstances looked like they were about to change. Joseph was sitting in prison, you’re telling me he’s about to be the prime minister of this powerful nation? I don’t think so. Ruth was in the fields, picking up grain, you’re saying she’s about to own this field? I don’t see how. Nehemiah was a busboy, working in the kitchen. You mean he’s going to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem? I think you have the wrong person. Now, when you look at your situation, everything may say “There’s no way you’ll accomplish that goal. No way you’ll get out of this problem.” You’re right where Nehimiah, Ruth, and Joseph were. The good news is: one transfer, one shift and you’ll have resources, influence, opportunity that you’ve never seen.

“So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit.”

It can be unusual, out of the ordinary. The right people, are going to notice you.

New doors can be opened right before your eyes.

The right people are seeing you. God is arranging things in your favor, ordering your steps. Don’t believe those lies that you’re stuck, you’re limited, you’ve seen others successful, good relationship, that’ll never be you. No, a transfer is coming, a shift, something that lifts you to a new level. God knows how to make you be seen in a different light.

He’s going to transfer influence, honor, prestige. You don’t have to manipulate things, play up to people, try to convince them to respect you. Let God do it his way.

People that will use their influence to thrust you ahead. You may not have the experience, the funds, the connections, but God does. You’re just one transfer away from seeing that dream come to pass. One transfer and you’ll pay your house off. One transfer and your business will take off. Now don’t talk yourself out of it, “I don’t have the resources. I’m not in a prominent position. Don’t be intimidated by the size of your dream or vision. God doesn’t give big dreams to small minded people. There is greatness in you, there are new levels in you, there’s a world changer in you, there’s a history maker in you. God put something big in you: he knows what you’re capable of.

Grace morning on this tremendous Thursday.

God know how to transfer resources, transfer influence, transfer abundance.

You may be in a situation that looks like you’re stuck, you’re at a disadvantage, you’re not being treated right.

God knows how to make it up to you. He has good brakes that will suddenly shift things in your favor.

The Israelites wandered in the desert for many years, and when they finally went into the Promised Land, the scripture says they lived in houses that they didn’t build, they reap from vineyards that they didn’t plant.

They didn’t have to go in there and build, plant, work their way up. It was transferred to them.

God has some of these transfers in your future: houses that you didn’t build, vineyards that you didn’t plant. That means promotion when you weren’t next in line, opportunities that you didn’t see coming, blessings that chase you down.

You didn’t earn it, it’s simply the goodness of God transferring resources, influence, favor into the hands of the righteous.

“You serve me a six-course dinner right in front of my enemies. You revive my drooping head; my cup brims with blessing. Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I’m back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.”

Chase after God, and the blessing will chase you. The scripture says: when you honor God, his blessings will overtake you. You didn’t see it coming, you never dreamed you own a home or could pay your house off, you thought it would be 30 years, then suddenly a transfer, God favors you: a promotion, an inheritance, a business opportunity. You never dreamed you’d be running that department, you thought you were stuck in the background. You never dreamed you could send your children to college, you thought you were limited. What happened? You came into a transfer. God suddenly shifted things. You went from the back to the front, from renting to owning, from not having enough to more than enough. This transfer is not just material things, but it’s influence: it’s honor, prestige, where people see you in a new light. You keep doing the right thing, you keep being your best where you are. They may discount you now, but a transfer is coming.

We all should have dreams and goals we want to accomplish. We know God put it in our heart, to send our children to college, but we don’t have the means to do it, we don’t have the resources. It seems like we’re limited. But the scripture says (Proverbs 13:22), “The wealth of the ungodly is laid up for the righteous.” One version says, “It will be transferred into the hands of the righteous.” Now you may not be able to accomplish your dreams on your own. What’s in your heart is too big for your bank account. The good news is: a transfer is coming. God doesn’t give you the vision without having provisions. It’s already lined up these transfers: good breaks, divine connections. Because your obedience, because you keep God in first place, you’re faithful, you’re generous, you’re good to others, God said he’s going to take from those who are not using their resources in a positive way and transfer them to the righteous.

““The master was furious. ‘That’s a terrible way to live! It’s criminal to live cautiously like that! If you knew I was after the best, why did you do less than the least?

The least you could have done would have been to invest the sum with the bankers, where at least I would have gotten a little interest. “‘Take the thousand and give it to the one who risked the most. And get rid of this “play-it-safe” who won’t go out on a limb. Throw him out into utter darkness.’”

Am I going to cut corners at work or am I going to have integrity, and give it my best? Don’t let the flesh dictate your life, let the spirit rule. Honor God with your decisions.

Life comes with many ups and downs, good and bad days. You face days that things don’t go your way, you have delays, disappointments, people that do you wrong, are you going to be Jacob: get upset, offended, try to pay them back? Or are you going to be Israel, and say “Father, thank you that you’re my vindicator, you’re fighting my battles, I’m going to stay in peace, knowing that you’re in control”. One of the many ways you will be tested, is with your family, are you going to be Jacob: critical, harsh, contentious? Or are you going to be Israel: loving, kind, treating others with respect and honor? Both people are in you: the flesh and the spirit, the old man and the new man, Jacob and the Israel. The key to victory over the old man, is to stay in close to God. You’ll go much further in life if you’ll start being Israel. Keep the flesh off the throne. Don’t let that old man get back up.

““Simon, stay on your toes. Satan has tried his best to separate all of you from me, like chaff from wheat. Simon, I’ve prayed for you in particular that you not give in or give out. When you have come through the time of testing, turn to your companions and give them a fresh start.””

God changed Jacob’s name (trickster) to Israel (Prince with God). But the old Jacob was very much alive. Those carnal desires may be dead, but people will do things that will wake up the Jacob in you. You can be driving to work, singing praises, enjoying the day, the Israel in you will be feeling good, then someone cut you off in traffic, out of nowhere Jacob shows up. You went from praising, to anger. You think, “Where did you come from”? Jacob smiles and says, “I’m in here too. I may be buried, but I can be lifted up”. Jacob wants to complain, Israel wants to praise: who’s going to win that war? Jacob wants to hold a grudge, “They hurt you, don’t speak to them”, Israel wants to forgive,

“Let it go, move forward in faith”. Jacob wants to say hurtful things. Israel wants to be kind. God changed your name, but he didn’t get rid of Jacob. Keep feeding the Israel in you while starving the Jacob in you. It will make a world of difference in winning the war over the old nature.

Grace morning on this festive and fresh Friday.

In the scripture Jacob was known for being dishonest, cheating people. His name means trickster, con man. He lived up to it: he tricked his brother out of his birthright, went around deceiving people. After living this way for years, he had an encounter with God, he wrestled with an angel, God changed his name from Jacob to Israel. His new name means “Prince with God”, his old name meant “Deceiver”. He spent the rest of his life dealing with these two names. Jacob had a new beginning. But the scripture goes back and forth between Jacob and Israel, one moment he’s Jacob, in the same passage the next moment he’s Israel. God was showing us that the old man, the carnal desires won’t totally go away. There’s a Jacob in all of us, there are things that can hold us back. The good news is: there’s an Israel in all of us, there’s a prince in you, there’s a forgiving, righteous, favored, strong, world changer in you.

“The things that you want to do as a weak person are opposite to the things that God's Spirit wants. The things that God's Spirit wants are the opposite of what we want as weak people. Our own thoughts fight against what God's Spirit wants us to do. As a result, you are not free to do the things that you really want to do.”

There will be times when you diligently dig down deep, and do the right thing when the odds are against you, something will suddenly break in your favor. That strong urge won’t have power over you. That bad attitude, that temper may not totally go away, but it doesn’t control you anymore. There is no telling how much higher you could go, how many doors will open for you. God’s favor can be experience if you’d start putting off the old man, if you start saying no to things that you know are holding you back. Some time a little thing is keeping us from big blessings: little pride, little compromise, “Just this one little temptation I give into, just this one person that I won’t forgive”. No, it’s time

to get rid of the old man. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to be around him. Put the old man down and put on the new you, the free you, the blessed you, the happy you, the victorious you.

If you’ll start or continue starving bitterness, jealousy, envy, and compromise, the old nature will get weaker. That desire may not totally go away, God may not totally remove it, this is when discipline steps in, this is when His grace shows up. Don’t use the excuse, “I’ve tried and nothing has changed”, you have the strength to overcome. Don’t let that old man get back up. Remember, you buried him, had a funeral, did the repast. You’ve heard of the walking dead, sometimes it gets back up. Here’s what I’ve learned: anything you defeat quickly is not your real enemy. What you overcome in a short time, you don’t have to be concerned about that. Your real enemy doesn’t go away overnight. Some enemies God doesn’t remove, some temptations, some desires may not go away. If God doesn’t remove it, that means the grace is there to stand strong and deal with it. God wouldn’t have allowed it if it was going to destroy you.

“Think straight. Awaken to the holiness of life. No more playing fast and loose with resurrection facts. Ignorance of God is a luxury you can’t afford in times like these. Aren’t you embarrassed that you’ve let this kind of thing go on as long as you have?”

The fact that old things are passed away, doesn’t mean you’ll never have any more carnal desires, you never be jealous, rude, complain. Now, the old man may have died, but your old nature will rise from the dead. Ephesians 4:22-24 says, “Put off the old man and put on the new man”. Even though you’re a new creation, you have to put off the old. Every day the old man is trying to get back up and run your life. We all have two people on the inside: the old man and the new man. That’s why the scripture says, “Put off the old man. Put off the pride. Put off the bitterness. The reason the old man is controlling you is you keep feeding him. Whichever nature you feed is going to grow. You keep the old man under control by starving him out. “God has chosen you to be his own special people. You belong to him and he loves you very much. So, this is how you should live: Be kind to other people and help them. Do not think that you are better than other people.

You don’t win the war within one time and you’re done. These forces are constantly opposing each other.

You never come to a point where you’re so mature you can go on autopilot, there’s always room to grow.

Many of the of the things in life that frustrate us, are really opportunities to grow. Take the flesh off the throne. Don’t respond negatively like you’ve been the last few weeks, don’t be impatient, living frustrated. Even though you’re a new creation, you have to put off the old. Every day the old man is trying to get back up and run your life. If you’ll start walking by the spirit, being willing to be uncomfortable, bridle your tongue, wait with a good attitude, that’s when you’re growing, that’s when God can trust you with more influence, more favor, more resources. There’s a lot of battles on the outside, you have to ask yourself a question: are you winning the war within? Don’t let the flesh determine your decisions?

“Use all the help that God gives to us. Then you can be like a soldier who fights against the Devil. You must put on the whole armour that God gives to us. The Devil attacks us in clever ways, and we need to be strong.”

Grace morning on this sensational and serene Sunday.

Everything God created, has the inward capacity to grow. There is something wrong if you’re not growing.

You should be further now than you were five years ago.

If you’re still dealing with losing your temper the same as years ago, then you’re allowing the flesh on the throne. If you’re still getting offended, easily upset, the same way as years back, then you’re allowing the flesh to dictate your life.

This is not to say you have to be perfect, but you should be improving. God doesn’t remove everything that’s uncomfortable. If He did, you wouldn’t grow. Instead of praying, “God, change the other person”, you should consider praying, “God, change me. Help me to come up higher. Help me to be more patient. Help me to stay in peace”. Even now, you will be challenged when you get stuck in traffic, or there’s a long line at the airport, that impatience still tries to get back on the throne, still tries to dictate your life.

“Punishment never makes us happy at the time when we receive it. No, the pain makes us sad. But later we know that the punishment has taught us good things. It helps us to live in a right way that gives us peace in our minds. So, be strong as servants of God! If your hands feel weak, lift them up! If your knees are not strong, stand up straight!”

Grace morning on this sufficient and satisfying Saturday.

It’s very shallow to live by how you feel, giving into carnal desires, that’s going to keep you from the greatness God put in you. Continue sowing to the spirit, taking the high road, doing the right thing when it’s hard. That’s when you grow. That’s when God can trust you with more. Being disciplined is not easy. Walking away when someone is rude, not giving into the temptation, getting up early to excel at work, that’s difficult. Your flesh wants to be comfortable. Your flesh wants the easy way out. But you can’t be comfortable all the time, and reach your destiny. If you’ll do the hard thing now, later on you’ll see blessings and favor that you’ve never seen. But the flesh always wants instant gratification. “If you tell a person off, it’ll make the flesh feel good, but what affect will it have on your spiritual growth? Take the high road and let it go, you’re feel much better that the flesh didn’t win.

““You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.”

Grace morning on this festive Friday.

We’ve seen in foreign countries where there’s a dictator, this person in charge is oppressing the people, pushing them down, there’s no democracy, they can’t vote him out, so they have to take drastic measures. The people rise up and overthrow the dictator, they have to forcefully remove him, that’s the only way they’ll be free. It’s the same way with the flesh: it wants to stay in control of your life, telling you what to do, where to go. The only way it’s going to come off the throne is if you forcefully remove it. It’s not going to go easily. Someone does you wrong, the flesh will say, “Come on, get even, this is not right”. Put your foot down and say, “you don’t control me anymore. I’ve taken you off the throne. You’ve lost your authority. I walk by the spirit and not the flesh”. It’s time to dethrone the flesh. Quit letting it dictate how you live, how you respond, how you handle adversity.

“So don’t you see that we don’t owe this old do-it-yourself life one red cent. There’s nothing in it for us, nothing at all. The best thing to do is give it a decent burial and get on with your new life. God’s Spirit beckons. There are things to do and places to go!”

What’s limiting some people is not that they’re not talented, not that they don’t have God’s favor, it’s that they keep sowing to the flesh. Don’t keep giving in to the same things that you know are holding you back. Next time you’re tempted to be jealous, find fault, say something critical, tell your flesh “No, I’m not going there. I’m going to be happy for them. I’m going to see the best in people”. When you feel like staying up all night, playing on the computer, tell your flesh “Not tonight.

I’m going to bed. I’m going to take care of myself”.

Next time those friends call that are pulling you down, causing you to compromise, tell them, “Sorry, something has come up. I can’t hang out tonight”. Quit letting the flesh be the dictator.

You have to take charge of your life. The flesh is not leading you anywhere productive. Your choices are never free from conflict, but this is a battle that will never go away.

We’re all going to face attacks, anxiety, and anger at sometime on this journey.

You will face trouble, trials, temptation and tough moments. The prince of this world will come, he has no power over you, but we have to do what God requires. We can’t sit back, “Why did this happen? This is not fair”. What God requires is to move forward in faith. Don’t let fear hold you back. Don’t believe the lies that it’s permanent. Don’t water down your dreams. You can walk out of that room. Now, get your passion back, and go after what God put in your heart. If you’re going to reach your potential, you have to stir up your gifts, pray some bold prayers, take steps of faith. What’s trying to stop you is defeated, the people who were holding you back, they’ve lost their influence. The trouble at work, those powers have been broken. Now, do what the Father requires and move forward. It’s time to take possession of what God promised you.

Life comes with a lot of twist and turns. Sometimes you’re find yourself praying, “God, when are you going to do something? Don’t you see I’m under this attack”? God says, “I’ve already done it. I’ve already defeated every enemy that will try to stop you. In the face of those fears start speaking faith, “I will fear no evil. I am strong in the Lord. No weapon formed against me will prosper”. The only tools the enemy has is deception and lies. It’s no different today than in the Garden of Eden, with Adam and Eve. “If you eat this fruit you won’t die. You’ll become like God. Come on, you can eat it”. He’s called the father of lies, there’s no truth in him. Don’t let fear, failure and fatigue hold you back. Don’t believe the lies that it’s permanent. To reach your potential, you have to become skilled at dismissing the evil enemy lies. He’ll try to talk you out of your destiny and into depression.

You’ll never get past this addiction. This problem’s too big. Don’t get on that plane”, ignore the roar. He’s all bark and no bite. The only power he has over you is the power you give him, by believing the lies. I know people can give us counsel and advice, but sometimes the enemy will use people to try to keep you from moving forward. He’ll do everything he can to try to keep you stuck, in fear, thinking, “You can’t get well. You can’t get out of debt. In the face of those fears, start speaking faith, “I will fear no evil. I am strong in the Lord. No weapon formed against me will prosper”. Little by little you’re get your passion back, knowing that the enemy has been defeated.

“But you, friends, are well-warned. Be on guard lest you lose your footing and get swept off your feet by these lawless and loose-talking teachers. Grow in grace and understanding of our Master and Savior, Jesus Christ. Glory to the Master, now and forever! Yes!”

Grace morning on this serene and seismic Sunday.

There's a battle taking place on the inside of each one of us. It's a battle between the flesh and the spirit. The flesh represents our carnal nature, it's things like jealousy, pride, envy. It's the easy way to live. You don't have to be disciplined, you just do whatever you feel. Someone's rude to you, you're rude back to them.

If you don't feel like having

a good attitude, go through the day sour. The flesh wants to rule, it wants to have control. You get stuck in traffic, your flesh will tell you, "Get upset, this is ruining your day". You have to be careful not to follow the dictates of the flesh. Stand and stay strong in songs and scripture. When you get upset, it sours your day.

At work someone leaves you out, doesn't invite you to the meeting, the flesh says,

“Get offended, this is not right". You get offended, chip on your shoulder. The problem is: if you keep giving into the flesh.

“So, my Christian friends, we must not obey what our weak human thoughts tell us to do. We no longer have to live like that.”

Grace morning on this satisfying and sensational Saturday.

Being a child of God gives you a tremendous advantage over your handling problems. You’re not alone nor on your own. God lives in you. Isaiah said he goes before you and makes crooked places straight. He’s already gone before you and defeated your enemies. This doesn’t mean you won’t have difficulties, things that are not fair. The prince of this world will come, that’s the enemy. He has no power over you, because he’s already been defeated. You didn’t defeat him, Jesus did. Because you belong to Christ, his victory is your victory. Because he lives,

we can live. Because he rendered him powerless,

we can walk in freedom.

Now to see this victory you can’t have a defeated mindset. The enemy’s working overtime.

Don’t say “what I’m going to do”. No, the right attitude is, “The enemy has no power over me”. He used to have power, he used to have the keys to death in hell, but Jesus took away those keys and I’m walking in victory.

“Hallelujah! You who serve God, praise God! Just to speak his name is praise! Just to remember God is a blessing— now and tomorrow and always. From east to west, from dawn to dusk, keep lifting all your praises to God!”

The trouble at work, the child is off course, mistakes you’ve made, guilt, condemnation… If you’ll start moving forward, you’ll discover: the problem is already defeated. God didn’t leave you here on this earth with enemies that can stop your destiny, they’re already defeated. But in order to see what God has done, you have to take steps forward. You can’t let fear dominate, live worried about your future, believe in the roar that the obstacle’s too big, the disappointment too strong, the sickness too powerful, the mistake too great. Yes, it looks intimidating, it looks overwhelming, but it’s not what you think. The enemy is already crushed. God has already taken care of what’s trying to stop you. Don’t let a defeated enemy keep you from reaching your destiny. The power in you is greater than any power that’s coming against you.

There are those times in life, when nothing you do seem to guard you from the storms of life. Your season of enemies will come as a flood. When you know your God and what he’s done, that he’s already defeated the enemy, that he’s taken away his power, that he’s brought him to zero, then you’ll be strong. You won’t be moved by opposition, you won’t fall apart when trouble comes, you won’t give up because somebody did you wrong. You know it can’t stop your purpose. You’ll not only have a supernatural strength, but you’ll do exploits, you’ll take your family to a new level, you’ll break addictions that have held you back, you’ll accomplish dreams that are bigger than you’ve imagined. Have the right perspective: whatever enemies you face, enemies of fear, enemies of depression, enemies of sickness, enemies of insecurity, they have already been defeated. Now here’s the key: if you don’t realize this, you can let a defeated enemy keep you from your destiny.

Don’t pray for victory, pray from victory. “Father, thank you that I am free. I’m going to bounce back. I am forgiven. I am prosperous.

I am victorious”. But the challenge is: even though our enemy is defeated, he makes a lot of noise. The scripture says, “He goes about as a roaring lion”. He’s not a lion, he can’t overpower you, he can’t control your destiny. He’s like a lion. That means he’s loud, he’ll roar negative thoughts, “That problem will be the end of you. You’ll never meet the right person. You’ve made too many mistakes, nothing good is in your future”. Do yourself a favor: ignore the roar. Don’t believe his lies. When those thoughts come, just give him the zero sign. Remind him, “You have no power over me. You’ve already been defeated. Because I belong to God, I will walk in victory.

I will live and not die. I will prosper and succeed. I will stay in peace in the midst of a storm”.

The enemy would love for you to get stuck where you are, focus on your hurts, humiliations, and hinderances, what they did, what they said. Don’t fall into that trap. Your move when life is unfair is to go forward in faith, depending solely on the favor of God, knowing that He is on the throne, and that he’s working all things for your good. If you’ll move forward in faith, the right people will come looking for you. Opportunity will come tracking you down, promotion will come knocking at your door.

It’s not your fault that they weren’t for you, it’s another chance to grow. What you’ve been through may be your explanation as to why you are where you are, but don’t let it be your excuse to stay where you are. This is a new day, God is doing a new thing. He can repay you for what wasn’t fair. He can also open doors you never dreamed would open.

The best part of your life is still in front of you.

When you face your biggest battles, the most unfair, unjust, unrealistic, unimaginable, that’s a sign that you’re close to seeing your greatest victories, your biggest accomplishments, your most rewarding relationships. The enemy always fights you the hardest when he knows you’re close to a new level of your destiny.

God is saying to you, “How long are you going to mourn over what you lost? Over what didn’t work out? Over what wasn’t fair”? Who knows where God will take you and your children, if you’ll just get back up again? Anything you lost you didn’t need to become who you were created to be. Friendships, people, contracts, if you lost it don’t sweat it. What you have left is what God is going to use to move you into your purpose. Don’t focus on what you’ve lost. It wasn’t fair, it wasn’t your fault. But your destiny is not in what you’ve lost, it’s in what you have left”. God will take what you have left, breathe on it, and it will multiply. People may overlook you, but God sees you.

You might be at a critical point in life. “God, I don’t understand it. How could you let this happen”? The enemy wants you to stayed in a defeated mindset. It might not have been your fault that you got knocked down, you had no control over what knocked you down, but it’s definitely your responsibility to get back up. Don’t let your explanation become your excuse. “I would have been great at my business, if the pandemic hadn’t happen. Accept what God has allowed.

May not have been good, it was hurtful, but God knows how to turn it for your good. He’s not going to leave your life in a broken place, in a damaged place.

it was painful, but I know weeping endures for a night, but joy is coming in the morning. Take the hand you’ve been dealt and make the most of it.

We’re never going to understand everything that happens. You can’t let one betrayal, a divorce, one bad season sour the rest of your life. You have a tremendous responsibility to get back up. That means quit re-living the hurts, quit thinking about what they did, or didn’t do, believing that you’ve seen your best days. God knows how to make it up to you. When he sees you moving forward when you could be sitting in defeat, you’re praising when you could be complaining, you have a smile when you could be depressed, you’re being good to someone even though you’ve been through hurts, get ready, God is going to release favor in your life. The enemy meant it for harm, but God is turning it to your advantage.

When Life’s Unfair. We all go through disappointments, things that don’t make sense: a friend walked out on you, you were overlooked for the promotion, you came down with an illness. It’s easy to let what’s unfair be an excuse to not pursue your destiny. “I can’t be successful, I had a rough childhood”. “I’ll never be happy, I lost a loved one”. “I can’t accomplish my dream, the pandemic ruin my chance to get ahead. My job let me go”. Perhaps it’s not your fault that you got knocked down, but it is your responsibility to get back up. It was wrong that you came hurt trying to help. It was unfair that you went through the injustice. That wasn’t right that they walked away when you needed them the most. It’s tempting to stay down, and live bitter. After all you have a good excuse. Your move when things unfair happen is to go forward in faith, trusting that God will make it up to you.

God being for you is more than the world be it against you. You may have some big obstacles, but you have to remind yourself: we serve a big God. Sometimes he’ll let the odds be against you on purpose, so when he turns it around, it will be a bigger miracle. Don’t put your human limitations on the God who spoke worlds into existence. God is not limited by the laws of medicine, the laws of economics, the laws of nature, the laws of science. When he’s ready to bless you, he doesn’t check with your boss, he doesn’t look at your 401k, he doesn’t Google the stock market report, he doesn’t see what friends you have, what family you come from. He’s not moved by the natural, he’s supernatural. If you’ll take the limits off of him, he’ll cause opportunity to track you. Good breaks will chase you down. The right people will come knocking at your door. Don’t tell God all the reasons you can’t be blessed.

He will do what medicine cannot do. You will defeat problems that are much bigger. You are not doing life on your own, God is breathing in your direction. All he needs is a little faith.“God, I don’t see a way. All my reasoning says this is not going to happen, but I know you have a way. God, I don’t have the funding for my dream, but I know you own it all. God, I believe as for me and my house we will serve the Lord”. Don’t be limited by your logic. Logic can be a dream stealer. If you look at your situation only from a human point of view, what you can do, your resources, your connections, your experience, then you’re going to miss the greatness God put in you.

Obstacles that are too big for you, people that will come against you that are more influential. When you look at the situation in the natural, and you reason it out, there’s absolutely no way you can come out on top. The medical report says you can’t get well, you don’t have the funding needed to turn your situation around in your favor. All your logic says: just accept it, it’s not meant to be. But this is what faith is all about. Faith is not something weak like a wish, a thought or an idea. Faith is powerful because God is powerful. Faith means that a person is trusting God.

God will put you in situations on purpose where there is no solution in the natural. Are you going to get discouraged, or are you going to walk by faith, and not by sight?

Do you think a limitation is going to keep you from your destiny? That somehow God shortchanged you, or that you're lacking in some area? Not a chance. "Well, I have this sickness, this addiction, this problem at work". You would do well to start telling yourself a new story. Start telling the story my healing is coming, my freedom is coming, my breakthroughs are coming. Don’t allow your current circumstances to cause you to live, with a limited mentality because of how you were raised, or the environment you're in now? You need to know and believe that there is a door wide open. God has awesome things in your future, make sure your story lines up with his story. Because the story you tell yourself is the story that's going to come to pass. Don’t spend valuable time thinking about how things didn’t work with someone, you had hoped would be a part of your life. You're going to overcome obstacles, accomplish your dreams, and your destiny.

Grace morning on this triumphant and tranquil Thursday.

Life comes with ups and downs, challenges and victories, but there's nothing you'll come up against that God doesn't already have a solution. He won't let you get in a problem that he can't bring you out of.

The key is to not let that wrong story take root.

In difficult times, when nothing is changing, it's taken longer than you thought, it's tempting to get discouraged, bitter, and water down your dreams. You have to keep telling yourself: this problem is not permanent, it didn't come to stay, it will come to pass.

I'm an overcomer, God always causes me to triumph. This is not going to stop me, victory is definitely headed my way. The only thing that's holding some people back is the story they're telling themselves. "I'm not that talented, I’m not as smart as others in my current circle of company I keep. I can't write books like some of them do". Who knows what you can do, if you'll start seeing yourself differently?

“David said to Goliath, ‘You have come to fight against me with a sword, a spear and a knife. But I come to fight against you with the authority of the Lord Almighty. He is the God who leads Israel's army, and you have insulted him!”

Grace morning on this wonderful and winsome Wednesday.

Life’s struggles may have given you a good reason to think you have a negative story. You’re facing a challenge in your health, your finances, a relationship. It's easy to let deflated, dejected and defeated thoughts, like, can't do it thoughts, it's never going to work out thoughts, play in your mind. That's when you have to dig down deep and say, "this temporary trial will not headline my story. I will lend and not borrow. I will accomplish my God-given dream". Give God something to work with. You can't have an old story, and see the new things he wants to do.

Many times our story is what's limiting us, what we're telling ourselves.

We're looking at it in the natural, but God is supernatural. This is what faith is all about. Faith is not settling for mediocrity, it’s not looking at your circumstance with your own ability, but realizing God’s conquering power. Remember he created the universe. Nothing can stop His plan from coming to pass. God has already written your story.

“Then I said to myself, “Oh, he even sees me in the dark! At night I’m immersed in the light!” It’s a fact: darkness isn’t dark to you; night and day, darkness and light, they’re all the same to you.”

There is a Bible story in Mark chapter 5, about a lady that had been sick for 12 years.

She had gone to the best doctors, spent all of her money, but nothing had helped. You can imagine how discouraged she was, how weak and frail.

The story she was telling herself was, "This sickness is permanent. Nothing else I can do, it's just a bad break". She continued to go downhill. But one day she heard that Jesus was passing through her town. Despite how she felt, despite the circumstances, she told herself a new story. She said, "When I touch the edge of his robe, I will be healed". "She told herself, things are about to change. She eliminated her old story, and started believing and telling herself a new story. Faith began to rise in her heart. She had to crawl on the ground to make her way through the crowd. Her story went from defeat to delight.

She went from being discouraged to encouraged. When she touched his robe, she when from being insufferably hurt to instantly healed.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

There is a very interesting story about a bear, he had lived in a 12 foot by 12 foot cage all of his life, since he was a little cub. During the day he would pace back and forth, back and forth, hours at a time. He stayed in that limited environment year after year. He was created to run, be free. Authorities made arrangements for him to be taken to a zoo. It was a large area, everywhere you look there was green grass. They opened the cage, but the bear wouldn't get out. They push him into the green grass. He never went to the pools, never climbed the rocks, never played with the other bears. He got out of the cage, but that cage never got out of him.His story was, "I'm limited, I can't go any further", when the truth is he had a whole field to play in. The story you tell yourself is very is one that will determine your destiny.

Even though God has all kinds of amazing things in store, if you tell yourself that you've reached your limits, you can't get well, you can't accomplish a dream, you'll miss the fullness of your destiny. The story you tell yourself is the story that's going to come to pass.

God has a big life for you, favor, opportunity, promotion, great relationship. Give it your best to get on the same page that God has outlined for your life. Tell yourself a new story. You don't have to figure out how or when it's going to happen, all you have to do is believe. Maybe you're facing a challenge in your health, your finances, a relationship. It's easy to let defeated thoughts, can't do it thoughts, it's never going to work out thoughts play in your mind. That's when you have to dig down deep and say, "No, I'm deleting that story. I will be the exception. I will get up from this. I will see my life replenished and my family restored.

Maybe the environment you were raised in has tainted your story. The people you grew up around, or who you're with now don't believe for much, except mediocrity. You have to be the one to break out of that rut. Don't let that negative story limit your life. This is a new day. God wants you to go further. He has things in your future that are much greater than you can imagine. Quit telling yourself that you're limited, you've gone as far as you can, you'll always struggle. No, tell yourself a new story, have an abundant mentality, "Lord, thank you that my cup runs over. Thank you that I live under the open windows of heaven, that you take pleasure in prospering me, that I will leave an inheritance to my children's children".The story you tell yourself is very powerful. What you saw growing up, the environment you’re in now can create boundaries in your mind to where you adapt to what's around you.

Try your very best to not let a wrong story, what you've been through, what looks too big, what hasn't happened convince you, that you can't overcome the obstacle that you face.

The enemy has your pen. He's altering the story that God wrote for you. Get that pen back, cross out all those lies. This has to start in your own heart and mind.

God is not going to force his destiny, his favor, his blessings. You have to get in agreement with him.

The story you were told growing up, “you’re never do anything significant, the odds are against you".

Don’t be shocked and shamed by your story of mistakes and tough times. Life can throw all of us curves. Don't accept your inability to get ahead, as your destiny. God has an abundant life for you.

He knows how to make streams in the desert, how to bring you out of struggle and lack, give you a bountiful life. Maybe you need to change the story you're telling yourself.

“The woman said, “I don’t know about that. I do know that the Messiah is coming. When he arrives, we’ll get the whole story.” “I am he,” said Jesus. “You don’t have to wait any longer or look any further.””

Pay strict attention to the story you're telling yourself, go back to what God put in your heart. He wants you to dream again, to believe again, to love again. Don't let a wrong story limit your destiny. Tell yourself a new story: you can still accomplish your dream,

you can still meet someone awesome, still go to new levels. Delete that old story, get rid of that limited thinking, that's what's stopping the new things that God has in store. If you don't change the story you're telling yourself, you'll go back to things that don't make sense. When you wake up purpose in your mind to say, "This is a new day!”

Keep reminding yourself that God has done great things, get rid of that slave mentality. Don’t keep telling the story that you’ll always be defeated. Don't develop a poor mindset, where all you believe for is just enough to get by. Don't accept that as your destiny. God has an abundant life for you.

When you get your story in line with what God says, things will happen that you couldn't make happen.

Don’t allow fear, intimidation, and insecurity keep playing over and over in your mind. Don't let the wrong story keep you from your greatness. Could it be that a wrong story is keeping you from rising higher?

The enemy loves for people enrolled in school to think,

“I can't make A's in school, I'm not that smart, all I can make are C's". They, like you, have to realize: the enemy has taken that pin, and rewrote your story.

“I can't break the addiction, I'll never get out of this neighborhood, never accomplished my dream, it's too late for me", as long as you believe that story, it's going to become a reality. God didn't create you to just get by, survive life. He created you to excel, to leave your mark. He said you are to reign in life. But victory starts in our mind.

Don't allow circumstances, what didn't work out, what you think you don't have convince you to live with the wrong story. Your story is setting the limits for your life. But if you tell yourself that you're washed up, you've blown it too many times, living with regrets, you're going to miss the new things God has in store. Don't keep telling yourself that you'll never be successful, never get out of debt, never meet the right person. Tell yourself a new story: I'm made in the image of God. I'm crowned with favor. I'm a masterpiece. There is greatness in me. What God allows me to touch prospers and succeeds. Blessings are chasing me down.

My latter days will be better than my former days. That's the story God has written about you.

Is your story contradicting his story? Have you let people, circumstances, doubt, negativity rewrite your story? Don't let someone else become the author. You have what it takes to write a new story.

Is the story you're telling yourself keeping you from rising higher? Why not tell yourself a new story? The scripture says, "God is the author and finisher of your faith". He's the author.

God has already written your story. The key is to get your story in line with his story. God says his plans for you are for good, to give you a future and a hope. He calls you a masterpiece, valuable, victorious, and overcomer. He said what was meant for harm, he's turning to your advantage. You may have been through bad breaks, things that weren’t fair, the enemy would love to author your story. He would love to rewrite what God says about you. You need to take that pin back, cross out all those lies, and tell yourself a new story. God says he has beauty for those ashes, that he'll pay you back for the wrongs done against you.

Take a praise break, pause and ponder the power of God, how he has provided and position your life to live peaceably through your stormy story.

One thing about life is, we all have a story. How you see your story as opening or closing doors, sometime depends on how you see your future. It can be from how you were raised or what people have said, even from your successes and failures. For some people their story is negative. "I've been hurt too much. I could never love again. I'm at a disadvantage. I could never be successful.

I had big dreams, but I don’t have the talent, the experience". What is holding, hindering and keeping you hostage, is Your story.

You're being limited by what you're telling yourself.

What you believe about yourself, how you see your circumstances, should override what anyone else say. You can be incredibly gifted, you can have a great personality, but if you tell yourself that you're average, you don't have much to offer, your gifts won't come out like they should. God says he has mercy for your mistakes, hope for your hurts, blessings for your blunders. God is not holding your past against you.

“Then the woman left her water pot and she returned to the town. She said to the people there, ‘Come and see a man who has told me everything about myself. He told me all the things that I have ever done! He must be the Messiah!’”

When you tell someone, "It's going to be okay, it's going to work out, God has you in the palm of his hand", those words just lifted their spirit. All because you took time to be an encourager. This is not something that's complicated. Doesn't take a lot of time, in 20 seconds you can give a compliment, you can send a text, "I'm thinking about you. I appreciate your friendship. You're really amazing", you just nourished their soul, you just lightened their load, made their life a little easier. You don't know what people are going through. They may smile on the outside, everything seems fine, but on the inside they're hurting, they're trying to keep it together. One thing I've discovered is: everyone is fighting a battle, everyone is dealing with something. They may not show it, but there's a load they're carrying, there are thoughts telling them how it's not going to work out, they're concerned about a child, worried about their health, struggling in their finance.

It wasn't something they could do on their own, they needed what you have. Your kind words are nourishment to their soul. This is not something that's complicated.

How much further will the people that God put in your life go if you will speak kind words, if you will tell them what they can become, if you will call out their greatness? Be generous with your compliments, and be stingy with your complaints. We can all focus on things we don't like about someone, how they don't measure up, how they should do better.

Don't spend more time telling people what you don't like, what they can't do, then you do telling them what you do like, what they can do. Many times you can see things in people that they can't see in themselves.

Your kind words can be the seed that causes them to sore. There may be people in your life now you're kind of disappointed in. Maybe all they need is some nourishment. Maybe your kind words, your encouragement is going to give them the strength, the confidence, the faith to rise up and be who they were created to be.

God place people in your life, that when you believe in them, they'll start believing in themselves in a new way. It's not enough to just think it, your thoughts don't nourish anyone. A blessing is not a blessing until it's spoken. They need to hear it, "I love you. I'm proud of you. You’re the best. You're beautiful. You're going to do great things". Make it a habit of speaking kind words. These days it's more needed than ever. So many voices trying to tear you down, people saying harsh things, being rude, demeaning.

They have no problem speaking their mind in a negative way, we need to be just as bold and speak our mind in a positive way.

God is counting on us to be healers, to be lifters, to be encouragers. Let's make it our business to nourish people's souls, to bring healing and wholeness. Don’t hesitate to share kind words to someone, who never have kind words to give to you.

“So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense.”

Don't let a day go by that you don't say something kind to the people God place in your life.

Your compliments, your encouragement, that's making them healthier, stronger, that's how they're going to become all they were created to be.

Now, maybe you weren't raised like this with people saying nice things, telling your family you love them, giving compliments, you didn't see that model growing up. You can be the one to start it. Without your nourishment it will make it more difficult on those around you. The reason some people aren't flourishing is no one is nourishing them, they never hear any compliments, any encouragement. But God created us to need each other. You have something that will cause your family to bloom, and feel more secure. It's not your money, it's not your hard work, not your accomplishments, it's your kind words. They need to hear how much you love them, how much you believe in them, how great you think they are.

You did great on that presentation", that's not just being nice, you're nourishing their soul. When you tell your spouse, "I love you. I'm blessed to have you in my life", that's not only going to keep your relationship stronger, but it's making the other person more secure, more confident, it's nourishing them. When you call the friend that's down, say "I'm thinking about you. I care about you. You mean the world to me", that's not just encouraging them, it's bringing healing to their body. Don't miss opportunities to bring nourishment. The people around you need what you have. Your kind words can be what pushes them into their destiny.

Life has different levels for you reach. God is going to require greater obedience in order to reach greater levels. There will be things that you'd rather not have to deal with. Those tests are not there to stop you, that's a sign that God is refining you, getting you prepared for something greater. When these impurities come to light, don't push them down, saying, "That's just me, I'm always impatient, contentious, we always argue, I've always been short tempered ". No, make the adjustments, respond differently. You wouldn't be hearing this if God didn't have new levels in your future, that's why he's getting you prepared to handle the weight of glory. Before you go a greater level, there will be times of testing, where you have to show God you'll do the right thing when you don't feel like it, you'll keep a good attitude when it's not fair, a good attitude when you’ve been wronged. Be an example to those who look up to you.

You can't rebuke everything you don't like. You can't pray away every grouchy person, the delays, the clerk that's rude, the spouse that gets on your nerves, those are tests. They may not change, but you can change. Now, key to seeing God's best is to stay adjustable, walk in humility, be willing to change. What can you do better to get along better in relationships? What improvements can you make. What areas can you come up higher in to have better relationships? Don't pray for God to change someone else without first praying, "God, show me where I need to change". Don't let a small thing keep you from your greatness. How we treat people matters. You can't be harsh, contentious, hard to get along with, and reach your potential. When you do the right thing when it's hard, you're passing the test.

God is getting you prepared now for a new level. Anytime you're going to go higher, your flesh has to go lower.

“Write these commandments that I’ve given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning to when you fall into bed at night.”

There will be times when people at work, get on your nerves. You’ve been praying for God to move them.

Have you ever thought about, maybe God has you there on purpose? Maybe that's a test? If he removed everything uncomfortable, you would never grow. Instead of being sour, why don't you try a different approach, and keep a good attitude? They know just what buttons to push, that's why you say things that you shouldn't. Under pressure you're seeing what's in you. Next time that happens, respond a different way. Proverbs 21:23 says, "If you'll keep your mouth closed, you'll stay out of trouble". One way to pass the test is real simple: keep your mouth closed. Don’t allow your emotions to control your mouth and attitude. Next time you feel like saying something hurtful, disrespectful, telling someone off, take a real deep breath, pause for about ten seconds, under your breath and say, "God, help me control my tongue, help me to pass this test".

“And I command you today: Love God, your God. Walk in his ways. Keep his commandments, regulations, and rules so that you will live, really live, live exuberantly, blessed by God, your God, in the land you are about to enter and possess.”

It's easy to tell people off, it's easy to be rude when someone's rude to you, but that will keep you at the same place. God wants to take you to another level in your spiritual development. God wants to take you higher, to places that you've never seen. He'll allow you to be in uncomfortable situations. The scripture calls it the fiery challenge, it’s present to test your quality. Sometimes God will put you in the middle of the fire, under that pressure your short-coming will come out. Conquering your short-comings won’t happen overnight, but start dealing with it, ruling over your emotions, not letting things upset you. Learn to stay in peace while God's is ordering your steps. Don’t get frustrated by the delays, traffic, interruptions, learned to go with the flow, believe that God is in control. The Psalmist said, "Remain calm in times of adversity". That's passing the test. That's what allows God to take you where you've never been.

Let God fight your battles. Continue or start being kind to someone that’s not kind to you. When you treat people right that don't treat you right, you're proving to God that you can handle more influence, more responsibility. This is a major test, because most of us will be good to people that are good to us, but to go where God wants you to go, you have to be good to people that are not good to you. When you let God do his refining, you won’t let the offense get in, you don't live thinking about paying people back, you stay in peace, you're going to see God's favor and blessings in great ways. Don't be surprised if you find yourself in situations that are not fair, people that didn't keep their word, they made you look bad, they betrayed you.

You have every right to get even, your flesh says, "Do to them what they did to you". No, pass that test. Be a willing warrior that won’t be weaken by the wickedness of others!

Are you trying to pray away what God is wanting to use to refine you? Instead of trying to change everything, why not pray, "God, help me to change. Help me to come up higher. To be more patient. To overlook the insults . To not be jealous.

To not let people steal my joy". Sometimes the test is to be good to someone that's not being good to you.

It's easy to treat people the way they treat us. They're rude to us, we're going to be rude to them. They put us down, we're going to put them down. They stab me in the back at work, I'm going to get revenge. But if you're going to reach your destiny, you have to be the bigger, better, bolder, so you can shine brighter. If you sink down to their level, get baited into conflict, revengeful, paying people back, then God can't trust you with more influence. That's a test. Prove to God that you can take the high road.

“The Lord sees what happens everywhere. He is watching everyone – whether they are good or bad.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭15:3‬ ‭EEB

Grace morning on this serene and seismic Sunday.

God blessing someone else doesn't mean he's not going to bless you. God hasn’t run out of favor, it’s simply a test. He's watching to see how you're going to respond. "But they don't deserve it. I've been here longer than they have. I don't understand it". No, pass that test. Be happy for them. That's an opportunity to show God what you're made of. If you will celebrate others, then God will have plenty of times where people will celebrate you. Pay attention to the areas that you're tested in. It's not a coincidence. When God brings things to light, you have to be willing to deal with it. These impurities in your character keep you from rising higher. They don't come out in the good times, they come out when we're under pressure. Don't ignore it, don't keep responding the same way. God wants to entrust you with more favor, more influence, more resources. That's why he's constantly and consistently testing your character, stay committed.

“When God approves of your life, even your enemies will end up shaking your hand.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:7‬ ‭MSG‬

Grace morning on this sufficient and sensational Saturday.

You can rise above people’s persistent pettiness?

Stop letting them steal your joy, stop giving them your power. When you let someone else determine whether or not you're going to stay in peace, you're handing them your thermostat, you're letting them control your temperature. They say something rude, you get upset. They leave you out, you get offended. They ignore you, your day is soured. Do yourself a favor, take your thermostat back. Quit letting other people control your atmosphere, determine your mood, your peace, your joy. You can't control what they do, but you can control how you respond. Next time they rude, just smile and go about your day. When they leave you out, just stay in peace, "God, thank you that you're fighting my battles. You're my vindicator". When they try to make you feel small, just ignore it and move on. They don't determine your destiny. You're not who they say you are, you are who God says you are one of a kind.

“It’s a school of hard knocks for those who leave God’s path, a dead-end street for those who hate God’s rules.”

Grace morning on this festive faith-filled Friday.

Every traffic jam, every person that gets on your nerves, every time you're tempted to be jealous, critical, pay someone back, is all a test toward your growth.

It’s not a random challenge, that's God testing your quality. That's an opportunity to grow, to come up higher, to show him what you're made of. The problem with failing the test, being rude to someone that's rude to you, getting upset every time you're stuck in traffic, being jealous over a friend that got the promotion. When you don't pass, you're going to have to take the test again. It's not going to go away, God is going to keep testing your quality. He already knows how you're going to respond. It's not to show Him, it's to show you what's in you. He loves you too much to let you stay at that one level. That's why you can't pray away everything that's uncomfortable. "God, get this co-worker out of my life. They're irritating me, they get on my nerves", that's a test.

“Isaac spoke to his father, Abraham. He said, ‘Father?’ Abraham replied ‘Yes my son, what is it?’ Isaac replied, ‘I see that the fire and the wood are here. But where is the lamb so that we can make the burnt offering?’ Abraham replied, ‘My son, God himself will bring the lamb for the burnt offering.’ The 2 of them continued to walk on together.”

Grace morning on this tranquil and thankful Thursday.

We all face situations that are uncomfortable: we're not getting our way, someone's not treating us right, our dream has taken longer than we thought. It's easy to get upset, live frustrated, wondering why it's not changing. But much of life is a test. You don't really know what's in you until you're put under pressure. It's easy to have a good attitude when everything's going your way, people are being good to you, doors are opening, the driver next to you politely let you in, you'll feel the joy of the Lord, "Thanking God for his favor". And that's good. Praise, gratefulness is inside you. But how about when the driver isn't so polite? In fact they make sure you don't get in. You may find out there are some other things in you, besides praise and thanksgiving. You weren't speaking in tongues, but another language started coming out. The purpose of the trial is to test your character. God already knows how you're going to respond.

“Peter broke in, “Even if everyone else falls to pieces on account of you, I won’t.” “Don’t be so sure,” Jesus said. “This very night, before the rooster crows up the dawn, you will deny me three times.””

Grace morning on this wonderful and winsome Wednesday.

Sometimes when we're not getting our way we want to run. We're not getting the credit, they don't see my talent, this supervisor is not fair, I'm out of here. And yes, there are times we need to move on, but you can't run every time it's uncomfortable in your marriage, your job, your school. Some of the things that we want to run from is a test. God is seeing how we'll serve when we're not being treated right, what kind of attitude will we have when it's not fair, when we're uncomfortable, not getting the credit. Don't have a running mentality.

Every time you don't get your way you change jobs, change friends, change churches, change spouses... Stop running! Grow in those times! Let your roots grow down deeper. You don't have to keep running from your past, your mistakes, what you're not proud of. Don't be moved by what's not working out, your character is being developed. God is seeing what he can trust you with.

“‘You get very tired when you try to run faster than other men. So you will never run faster than horses. You fall over on flat fields. So you will certainly fall near the River Jordan, when you are among many trees and bushes.”

Grace morning on this tranquil and triumphant Tuesday.

When you stop running and deal with what you know is hindering you, it's not going to be as hard as you think. God is going to give you the grace. Don't spend your whole life running. What you run from you'll always have to go back and deal with before you can move forward. When you comfort and don't confront, all you’re doing is putting off where God wants to take you. You’re delaying seeing new levels. God will never ask you to do a hard thing, and not give you the ability to do it. When he's asking you to do something difficult, the grace is there, but you have to step into it. Your mind will tell you, "You can't forgive, they hurt you too badly". "You'll never break the addiction, just learn to live with it". "You can't do something great, you're insecure, you're unqualified". Don't believe those lies. There's nothing the enemy would love any more than for you to spend your life running from God’s purpose for your life.

“But Jonah got up and went the other direction to Tarshish, running away from God. He went down to the port of Joppa and found a ship headed for Tarshish. He paid the fare and went on board, joining those going to Tarshish—as far away from God as he could get.”

Grace morning on this marvelous and meaningful Monday.

We all face times when we have to make decisions: am I going to keep putting off what I know I should do?

Am I going to deal with the bitterness. Are you going to comfort your hurts or are you going to confront them?

The problem with running is it doesn't go away. Ignoring it doesn't mean it's going to disappear. Before you can move forward, you have to confront. Don't go 10 years living below your potential, because you didn't want to do the hard thing, you didn't want to be uncomfortable. When you take that step towards your problem, God is going to step in and help you conquer it. Are you running in some area today? Running from making things right in a relationship? Running from getting your finances in order? Running from starting that business, writing that book, going back to school, thinking that you don't have what it takes? You can't become all you were created to be staying comfortable.

“Eventually the brook dried up because of the drought. Then God spoke to him: “Get up and go to Zarephath in Sidon and live there. I’ve instructed a woman who lives there, a widow, to feed you.””

Grace morning on this sensational and serene Sunday.

When you run to your giants, rather than running away from your giants, God will make things happen that you couldn't make happen.

You won't reach your destiny running from things that are hard, running because it's uncomfortable. You don't feel like forgiving, you don't feel like dealing with that sour attitude, but when you're running from your giants, you're running from your destiny. When you're running to your giants, to what you know you need to confront, what you know you need to deal with, you're running to your purpose. Don't take the easy way out spending your life running: running from your past, running from mistakes, running from people that did you wrong, running from fears, insecurity, pride. Confront what you've been ignoring. On the other side of that giant is a new level of your destiny. When God see you make a move to deal with what you've been ignoring, He will breathe on your life, and it won't be as difficult as you think. He will make crooked places straight.

Grace morning on this sensational and sufficient Saturday.

It's easy to avoid things in life that we should be dealing with. Particularly if you’ve been through hurts, people did you wrong, instead of forgiving and moving on, you push it down. Or maybe you need to apologize, make things right, that's uncomfortable, so you keep putting it off. Sometimes we run from our fears, a new door opens, opportunities, but we're afraid. Instead of confronting our fears, we shrink back. Some people spend their whole life running: running from dealing with the temper. As long as you're running, you're going to miss the greatness God put in you. You can't conquer what you don't confront. Too often we're comforting what we should be confronting, we're making excuses. You can't run from everything that's uncomfortable, thinking that they'll go away. When you get honest with yourself, when you confront what you know you need to deal with, it may be uncomfortable, but God gives you the grace, the strength, to do what you couldn't do on your own.

God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him. We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom, courageous in seastorm and earthquake, Before the rush and roar of oceans, the tremors that shift mountains.”

Breaking News on this morning! Our sovereign Lord has good things for you.

It's not based on how well you perform, who likes you, what family you come from, what the economy does. These are blessings, favor, breakthroughs, that God has already written in your script. Instead of worrying, thinking that it's never going to happen, trying to earn it, why don't you say, "Oh, sovereign Lord, thank you for the good things you have in store for me. Thank you for choosing me before I could choose you. Thank you for not depending on my performance, my faith, my circumstances, but blessing me because of your goodness". No one, and nothing can change, corrupt or compromise, God's sovereign will. You may not perform perfectly all the time, you may not deserve his blessing, but when it's his sovereign will, it doesn't depend on what you do or don't do. God has decided to make it happen. What God decides is unalterable God is in total control.

“Then Jehoshaphat took a position before the assembled people of Judah and Jerusalem at The Temple of God in front of the new courtyard and said, “O God, God of our ancestors, are you not God in heaven above and ruler of all kingdoms below? You hold all power and might in your fist—no one stands a chance against you!”

Grace morning on this tremendous and triumphant Thursday.

When you understand and accept that God is sovereign, and that he's not basing everything on your choices, your ability, your background, your family, then you can stay in peace. His sovereign will is unstoppable. Sometimes you might get frustrated because you can't see the whole script. You don't know what God is up to. You go through disappointments, loss, bad breaks, doesn't make sense to you, it might even appear to be a setback. But nothing is random. It's all working according to his plan, what God decided long ago.

You have to trust Him when you don't understand.

You have to believe that he's still sovereign, that it's all serving a purpose. One day you'll see what he had purposed and planned for your life. What God is doing in your life is not always going to make sense. He's been orchestrating things for you, generations back to bring you to where you are. It's not happenstance, God is still in control. This is when you have to trust that God is sovereign, and knows what’s best for you.

“David went into the Lord's tent. He sat down and he prayed. He said, ‘I am not a special person and my family is not important. But you have done very much for me.”

Instead of worrying, thinking that it's never going to happen, trying to earn it, why not say, "Oh, sovereign Lord, thank you for the good things you have in store for me. Thank you for choosing me before I could choose you.

You may not perform perfectly all the time, you may not deserve his blessing, but when it's his sovereign will, it doesn't depend on what you do or don't do. God has decided to make it happen. What God decides is unstoppable.

If God based his will only on our decisions, people wouldn't have a chance. The beauty is: God has a sovereign will that overrides our choices. It's the goodness of God loving us when we don't deserve it, showing us mercy when we should have judgment.

““So now, great God, this word that you have spoken to me and my family, guarantee it permanently! Do exactly what you’ve promised! Then your reputation will flourish always as people exclaim, ‘The God-of-the-Angel-Armies is God over Israel!’ And the house of your servant David will remain sure and solid in your watchful presence. For you, God-of-the-Angel-Armies, Israel’s God, told me plainly, ‘I will build you a house.’ That’s how I was able to find the courage to pray this prayer to you.”

Part of God’s sovereign will is to be good to you. There are blessings that are unstoppable, there can be favor in your future that is simply the goodness of God, something that he's already planned, that cannot be overridden. You don't have to worry about how it can happen, how you can get ahead, how you can leave your mark. The sovereign God has already not only planned it, but he will make it happen. It's not up to you, it's up to him. Blessings that chase you down, you didn't see coming, that you can't explain, it's already written in your script. The stage has already been set. God will let you make decisions up to a point, he'll let you be in control of your destiny for periods of time, but at certain times he will take complete control, he will override your decisions, and thrust you into your destiny. Jeremiah 1:5 said, "God knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb".

“Jesus saw Nathanael, who was coming towards him. Jesus said, ‘Here is a completely honest man. That is what a person from Israel should really be like.’ Nathanael asked, ‘How do you know me?’ Jesus answered, ‘I saw you before Philip asked you to come. I saw you when you were under the fig tree.’ Nathanael said, ‘Teacher, you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel.’”

Long before you arrived God wrote a script for you.

The fact that you're here is a sign that the stage has been set, all the props are in place, the people that you need. Yes, there may be some drama, some ups and downs, things you don't understand, but you can stay in peace, knowing that it's all working according to his will. You're not at the mercy of fate, happenstance, hope you get some good breaks, bonus, or blessing.

There is a sovereign God who is in control of your life. His sovereign will cannot be overridden by bad choices, by other people, by how you were raised, by what you didn't get. You didn't show up because your mother and father decided to have a baby. Wasn't a random coincidence that they got together. Sometimes when a pregnancy is not planned we say, "This baby was a surprise". You may have been a surprise to your parents, but you're not a surprise to our God.

“My little children, you belong to God. You have won against those people with a false message. You have been able to do that because God's Holy Spirit is in you. He is more powerful than the spirit that belongs to this world.”

You didn't earn it, you weren't born into it, you can't explain it, it's the unstoppable God carrying out the plan that he decided long ago. When you go to a broadway play, you don't show up and the actors are all there without a script, "Play starts in 15 minutes, let's decide what we're going to do. The script has already been written. Long before the actors ever arrive, the writer has already decided what's going to take place. The script already finalized. In the same way you didn't show up on planet earth, and God say, "Okay, let me figure out a script for you. Let me figure out what role they're going to play". You weren't born into an empty stage. God didn't say, "I have to think about what environment they should be in, what family I should use, what people, what experiences, God had your life planned before you arrived.

““Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you: A prophet to the nations— that’s what I had in mind for you.””

Life has a way of showing us a mirage, when what we need is a miracle. There's nothing you can do or not do to keep God’s sovereign will from coming to pass. You can't make too many mistakes, you can't get so far off course that God's going to change his mind. Just ask Jonah. He did exactly the opposite of what God told him to do. He went his own way, got in trouble, thrown overboard into the sea. God didn't say, "Too bad, you're on your own, you should have listened". God had a big fish waiting for him.

It’s like God called an UBER, swallowed him up, took him to the shore. God was saying, "Jonah, you can't stop my sovereign will. Where I want you to go, you're going to go".

Not just in negative things. When it's his sovereign will for you to be blessed, it's not dependent on what family you come, from how much experience, talent, education you have. When God’s wants to bless you he’ll cross custom and culture to do it.

“So Jacob blessed both of Joseph's sons that day. He said, ‘In your name Israel's people will give this blessing: “May God be good to you, just like he was to Ephraim and Manasseh.” ’ In this way, Jacob put Ephraim before Manasseh when he blessed them.”

Do your best to not let other people determine your image, what someone said, a parent, a coach, an ex-spouse, hurtful words, "You're not good enough, you're not attractive, you'll never amount to much".

That wrong mirror will keep you in bondage. After all it doesn't do any good to give you a promotion, if you still see yourself as lacking, and not enough. What's limiting some people is not the fact that God doesn't have good breaks, favor, new relationships. It's that they won't give God their image. If He takes you to a new level, but you still see yourself the wrong way, you're not going to enjoy it. You have to give him your mirror first. Let him have your image. See yourself the way he sees you, then you can enjoy your promotion. Sometimes it's guilt holding us back, "I made too many mistakes, I don't deserve it". We live on the sidelines of life, no passion, not pursuing our goals. Don't keep that old image, release to God.

“They were caught off guard by this and, not at all sure they could trust him, they kept saying, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem among the believers? And didn’t he come here to do the same thing—arrest us and drag us off to jail in Jerusalem for sentencing by the high priests?””

God's word, the right mirror image says, many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers us out of them all. It says when the enemy comes like a flood, God raises up a barrier.

It says your latter days will be better than your former days. If you'll see yourself that way, as a victor, and not a victim, then even in tough times you'll stay confident, hopeful, expecting God's favor, knowing that he didn't bring you this far to leave you. He hasn't failed you in the past, he's not going to start now. Have an image of victory. You're not weak, defeated, overcome by problems, you're a warrior, you've been armed with strength for every battle. You are full of can-do power.

The forces that are for you are greater than forces that are against you. Don't go through life looking in distorted mirrors, mirrors that are magnifying wrong things, causing you to see yourself as small, unworthy, limited, and unqualified.

“So I will go to my father and tell him, ‘I have done bad things against God, and I have done bad things against you. So I am not good enough for you to call me your son any longer. Instead, please accept me as one of your servants.’ ””

Grace morning on this marvelous and meaningful Monday.

You won't be successful with a negative image of yourself. Like a magnet, how you see yourself will keep pulling you toward it. If you see yourself struggling, barely getting by, scarcity mentality, you're moving toward it. What would happen if you would change the image, start seeing yourself as blessed, prosperous, talented, having a bountiful year, blessings chasing you down? The possibility making life better increases, because you have the right image, because you're in agreement with God, you're moving toward abundance, overflow, good breaks, a bountiful life.

You can’t place God on the back burner and honor Him at the same time. If you see yourself as lonely, not a good personality, inferior, it's pulling you toward loneliness, not having friends, not meeting anyone. Do yourself a favor, change the image. You're beautiful, you're attractive, you're one of a kind. You've been crowned with favor. You're a prize. Whoever gets you it's like they won the lottery. When you have the right image, you'll put your shoulders back, you'll hold your head up high, and you'll carry yourself like the royalty God created you to be.

“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. [Exod. 19:5, 6.]”

Maybe you've been through disappointments, life hasn't treated you fairly, that distorted denigrated view of self will come up. You'll see yourself as a victim, defeated, nothing good in your future. The truth is: God has beauty for those ashes. What was meant for harm, he's turning to your advantage. What's the problem? You're looking in the wrong mirror. As long as you're letting that define who you are, as long as you're believing those distorted images, it will keep you from rising higher. You have to get rid of that mirror. You are fully equipped for the purpose he's laid out for you. But the trick of the enemy is to distort your self-image. He doesn't want you to see yourself the way you really are. The Psalmist said, "You've been fearfully and wonderfully made", but when you look in the mirror of despondency, you'll see all your flaws. You've been forgiven and redeemed, but when you look in that mirror, you'll see all your mistakes, failures, times you didn't measure up.

“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]”

If you see yourself lacking, at a disadvantage, not attractive, it will limit your life. It's not that you don't have great potential, it's your self-image is distorted. The big carnival came town once a year. One of the attractions is this room filled with mirrors. You walk in front of one mirror, it makes you a couple feet taller.

There are mirrors that leave your body normal, but your head is shrunk. Certain mirrors would make you look a hundred pounds heavier. None of these images are a true image. It's not who you really are, they're all distorted. How many of us in real life don't recognize when we're looking at a distorted mirror?

We see ourselves as not talented, not attractive, unqualified, made a lot of mistakes. Now that distorted image is holding us back. What would happen if we got rid of the wrong mirror?

“At this time, we see things as if we were looking at them in a mirror. What we see now is not clear. But the time will come when we do not need a mirror. We will see everything clearly. Now we know only a part of what is true. But then we will know everything completely. We will understand completely, just as God understands us completely.”

Grace morning on this fresh and fantastic Friday.

When you have the right image of God, even when you make mistakes, you'll go to him. When you walk by Faith, you're assured of his glad welcome. Sometimes God will clean up a mess you made, and never say a word. He doesn't condemn you, he doesn't find fault, It's the mercy of God. Sometimes we don't go to God because we already feel condemned, we already know what we've done wrong. God is waiting to gladly welcome you. Not to judge you, not to make you feel worse, but to restore you. He has a robe of honor. He has a ring of authority. When you really know who your Heavenly Father is, you'll go to him with confidence, knowing that he accepts you, that he has mercy for your mistakes,

that he's not in the judging business, he's in the restoring business. The reason we to go to our heavenly father, we know his nature, and his character through the years: loving, kind, merciful.

“Jesus, our great priest understands us. He knows how weak we are. He knows that we sometimes want to do wrong things. The Devil tried to make him do all those same kinds of wrong things. But Jesus never did anything wrong. So, we should come near to God and we should not be afraid. God is our King. We can ask him to help us when we need help. We know that he will forgive us and he will be kind to us in whatever way we need.”

Grace morning on this tranquil and thankful Thursday.

Life has a way of loading us down with doubt and despair. Continue to trust the faithfulness of God. As you trust and obey him, you become stronger in the storms of life.

God truly wants you to be free, more secure, at peace. God is for you, and he sees you without faults, that even when you make mistakes he's waiting with arms held open wide, ready to restore you, get you back on track? The enemy has worked overtime to try to convince people that God is out to get them, he's mad at you, he's counting your mistakes, he's about to knock you down further - that is not our God. Don't let the wrong image of God keep you from coming to him. God is still working on you. While he's changing you, while you're growing, you have to learn to accept imperfection. Don’t beat yourself up when you don't perform perfectly. Your struggles, and mistakes you made are not a surprise to God. He's the one that made you. You're on the potter's wheel.

“Whenever the pot the potter was working on turned out badly, as sometimes happens when you are working with clay, the potter would simply start over and use the same clay to make another pot.”

Grace morning on this winsome and wonderful Wednesday.

Don't live with the weak-worm-worthless of-the-dust mentality, thinking, "I don't deserve God's goodness. Going over and over in your mind, “I brought this trouble on myself".

Paul said, "Where sin abounds, grace does much more abound". You didn't supersede your allotment of grace. You didn't make a mistake so big that God ran out of mercy. Instead of living condemned, go boldly to the throne, to receive mercy. God is waiting to gladly welcome you. Here's the key: He won't force you to come. You may feel the guilt, the condemnation, but God sees your failures already covered. When you take one step toward God, he comes running towards you. Only place in the Bible where it pictures God running was to the prodigal son, who had gotten off course. God could have come running to heal the lepers, run into teaching the temple, running to the religious leaders, instead he came running to someone that had made mistakes.

“So he went off to return to his father. But he was still a long way from the house when his father saw him. He felt very sorry for his son and he ran towards him. Then he put his arms round his son and he kissed him.”

Grace morning on this terrific and tranquil Tuesday.

You may have made mistakes, you've got off course, done things you're not proud of. You allowed the accuser keep up all that baggage, remind you of how unworthy you are, how you don't deserve God's goodness, "Look at what you've done. You should be ashamed of yourself, you knew better". You know how God sees you? Without fault! How could this be? He's already paid the price for your sins, your mistakes, your failures. He sees you without fault, but that won't do you any good, if you don't see yourself without fault.

If you're down on yourself, living guilty, condemned, even though God will gladly welcome you, even though he's longing to be good to you, you won't see that goodness because you don't come fearlessly into his presence. It says in revelation, "God has washed away our sins", past tense. He's already forgiven you. You may have made mistakes, you're not where you wanted to be, you don't feel worthy, like you deserve God's goodness.

“God is able to keep you safe so that you continue to trust him. One day you will stand in front of him and you will be very happy. God will bring you to that place and you will be completely good. Because of that, you will be able to stand near to God, who shines with beautiful light. He is the only God. He is the one who saves us because of our Lord Jesus Christ. So we praise him! We say that he is very great! He rules with power and authority. This has always been true. It is true now, and it will be true for ever. Amen!”

There are times when God will use people to open your locked door. He has the right people already lined up for you. You may not even know them now, but God will direct them to come to you.

They will use their influence to push you forward.

You don't have to make it happen, you just keep honoring God, keep being faithful in your commitment to God, keep him first place, and the door keeper will open doors that no person can shut. Like so many others, you may have worked hard, you prayed, believe, done all you can, but nothing has worked out.

The very God you have believed and trusted in, can unlock doors to your family peacefulness. He has the key to open your business, your health, your relationships, your finances. Keep praying and praising God while your problem is yet present. Those doors that appeared to be permanently locked, can suddenly open. The right people, new levels of your destiny can come into fruition .

“Sing to God a brand-new song. He’s made a world of wonders! He rolled up his sleeves, He set things right.”

You may not see any sign of your locked door being opened. Perhaps it looks unlock-able, immovable: the pain, the problem, the predicament, how you can accomplish your dream with so many locked doors.

Just keep on walking by faith. Keep on thanking God. Keep on declaring his promises. Keep believing that God is your doorkeeper. When God decide that it’s the right time, It can be so unusual. It's not going to open the way you think, with the people you think, how the experts think. You're not going to be able to explain it, you will know it is the hand of God. Sometimes while God is working, you don't realize all that's happening while you're in it. He's ordering your steps. God brought that person across your path for a reason.

He made you invisible to those people that weren't for you.

How many times have God worked on your behalf, but you couldn't see it?

Even now, God is working behind the scenes.

“God had already decided to prepare something better for all of us. As a result, those people did not receive everything until we could join with them.”

There may be gates that are controlled by other people, but when it affects your destiny, God becomes the doorkeeper. When you realize that God is your door keeper, that even iron gates, doors that look impossible, situations where you don't see a way out, that God has the power of control, then you can live in peace.

You can stay in faith, knowing that God will get you to where you're supposed to be. You have to realize that part of the test is when the door has a double deadbolt lock on it.

You have to keep walking by faith. The medical report is not improving, your child's not doing better, your dream's not any closer.

That lock door is staring at you. Thoughts are whispering, "You might as well go back. You see the locked door, you know what your finances say. No, keep walking by faith and not by sight. When it's the right time, you won’t have to be manipulative, it's going to open of its own accord.

Some people will do their best to keep you from getting out. Getting out of frustration, futility, failure, fear and fussiness. What they don’t realize is: they can’t keep God from coming in. The scripture says (Psalm 46:1), "God is a very present help in trouble". God comes with you in the dark places of life. God comes when you're hurting, when you're lonely, when life is not fair. You couldn't get to him, but God comes to you. He knows how to bring you out. God is not only sovereign, but he is strategic. He knows how to hide you. He knows how to make you invisible to the enemy. When fake friends and furious foes try and lock the door of your potential. God will let you flourish while they’re watching. They can’t figure out how you escaped that trap of tumultuous trouble. They figured you were locked in for good this time. They never considered, that God can’t be kept out of lock doors.

“Someone told Jacob, ‘Your son Joseph has come to see you.’ Jacob's body became stronger and he sat up on the bed. Jacob said to Joseph, ‘God Almighty appeared to me at Luz, in Canaan. God blessed me there.”

Grace morning on this terrific Thursday.

When you come to a closed door in life, or and iron gate, don’t panick. God is watching over you? He is aware of what you need, where you are, what you're up against? He knows when you're at a iron gate and you don't have the code.

The financial problem, the child that's off course, you're locked out, no way you can get past that gate.

Just continue being faithful: God sees you, and he has the remote. When it's the right time, that gate will open. When God wants it open, nothing can stop him. You worrying, pacing the floor, will not unlock the gate that you’re facing. God is your doorkeeper, and he has control. I've learned when you rest, God goes to work. But when you work, worry, and whine, "What am I going to do", God rest so to speak. God has the remote control to any door that you're facing. The enemy may have closed it, there might be an iron gate that’s locked in your life, but God is a divine Locksmith.

“I didn’t die. I lived! And now I’m telling the world what God did. God tested me, he pushed me hard, but he didn’t hand me over to Death. Swing wide the city gates—the righteous gates! I’ll walk right through and thank God! This Temple Gate belongs to God, so the victors can enter and praise.”

There will always be people and circumstances that try to keep you behind closed doors. When you live and walk in faith, there are forces assigned to you to try to stop your purpose. You feel like you're outnumbered, the odds are against you.

You have to remind yourself who your doorkeeper is.

The enemy may have put you behind a door of sickness, a door of trouble, a door of financial difficulty. You feel chained, there's no way out. God wouldn't have let that door closed, if he didn't have a way to open it. There’s a friend of mine that have a gate on his driveway at his home. And one day when I came over, he watch for me out the back door. And when I got out, and tried to figure out how to get in, He hit the remote control from the house. There's not a gate you're behind, that God doesn't have the remote control. It works all the way from heaven.

“He did this because they did not believe that God could do it, or that he had the power to save them.

So he gave an order to the clouds over them and opened the doors in the skies.”

Grace morning on this marvelous and meaningful Monday.

Life seems to come in cycles, maybe there's been a cycle of depression in your family line, sicknesses, everyone has heart disease, everyone gets divorced, strife and division, it's like you've been locked out of good cycles of relationships, locked out of happiness, locked out of good health, and strength. God is truly able to change failure cycles into favor and flourishing cycles. Doors that have been shut for you and your family, cycle chains that have limited you for generations certainly can be broken by God. He can release you into increase, into new levels, into something that you've never seen. It wasn't what you did, it was the doorkeeper showing you favor because of your faithfulness. God is steady bringing the right people, lifting you out of struggle and lack into more than enough. God wants to take you where you can't go on your own. Those lock doors of joy, appear bolted, permanent, but they are no match for those who stay faithful to God.

““Don’t be frightened,” said David. “I’d like to do something special for you in memory of your father Jonathan. To begin with, I’m returning to you all the properties of your grandfather Saul. Furthermore, from now on you’ll take all your meals at my table.””

You should tell every closed door, "You are not permanent. You will not keep me from my destiny.

You don't have the final say, my doorkeeper has the final say. He's promised he will open doors that no person can shut. He will break through bars of iron. He will break chains to get me into my purpose". I can see right now through my eyes of faith doors opening. I can see chains breaking. I can see you stepping into new levels of freedom, health, favor, abundance. I can see ancient gates that have held you back for years, they're opening up. The king of glory is about to come in.

He's going to do things you can't explain, it's going to be supernatural. Doors opening you never dream would open. Promotion coming to you. The right people showing up. Healing when the report says, "There's no way". Freedom from things that have limited you. These open doors can lift you into your destiny.

“On the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, the disciples were all together. They had locked the doors of the room because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Then Jesus came and he stood among them. He said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’”

Grace morning on this satisfying and sufficient Saturday.

We all face situations where it seems like the door is shut. We're working hard, but not getting good breaks. The loan didn't go through. We still haven't met anyone. Thoughts will tell you, "That door is never going to open. You can't accomplish your dreams. You don't have the training, but you're locked out". Sometimes it's like a door is slammed in our face. A friend walked away, a person betrayed you.

The door looks like it's permanently locked. You may be up against a door that seems locked, no way you can get well, no way you can start the business, no way you can break this bad habit - that door is dead bolted, chained. Now, when it's your time, God will break the chains. He can unlock doors that have been locked, you can walk into what you've been shut out of: promotion, freedom, the right people. Don't believe those lies that the doors are permanently closed.

“Past the first guard and then the second, they came to the iron gate that led into the city. It swung open before them on its own, and they were out on the street, free as the breeze.””

Your time may not have come yet, but it's closer than you think. There's about to be a shift from struggling to ease, from barely making it to abundance, from dealing with that sickness to health and wholeness. God can take you from closed door moments, nothing working out, to things falling into place, the right people, the contracts, the resources. What God promised already has the set time. It's not going to be one second late. It's no reason to live worried. No reason to live frustrated. Trust his timing. If you'll do this, God will come through for you. Those dreams that seem impossible can come to pass. Help, Hope, divine connections, it's going to be better than you think.

When you look at your circumstances, the obstacles you're up against, how long you've been trying to accomplish your goals, you could say, "My time has not yet come. I can't do anything about this".

But you can sense something new is about to happen, you can sense that God is about to do something greater in your life. Perhaps you’re on the verge of stepping into a new season: a season of greater favor, greater promotion, greater opportunities, greater breakthroughs, greater awareness.

Things that have held you back in the past, barriers that have limited your family, brought nothing but brokenness into your life. God is able to bring influence, resources, abilities coming out in ways you've never dreamed.

Problems that look permanent can suddenly turn around. Family members that wouldn't have anything to do with you, that anger and division can quickly disappear.

You don't have to make this happen, it's going to be the hand of God. Keep being faithful until your right time arrive.

“Then he asked Jesse, “Is this it? Are there no more sons?” “Well, yes, there’s the runt. But he’s out tending the sheep.” Samuel ordered Jesse, “Go get him. We’re not moving from this spot until he’s here.””

I thought you said I was going to have a bountiful year, I'm in a pandemic.

The only thing bountiful is my bills. "God, you said as for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Change your perspective from being negative to being positive about life. My child may be off course, but I thank you that the right time is coming, that you’re turn things around, that he will honor you. The point is: It may not happen as fast as you would like, but you have to trust God's timing. Trying to force things to happen, is not going to change the right time, it's just going to bring frustration. It's much better to wait for God to do it his way.

“You thought that you would get a lot of food from the crops that grow in your fields. But only a few plants grew. When you brought your food home, it quickly disappeared. I blew it away!

There are times when God will wait on purpose, to allow the odds to mount against you. It seems like it's too late, we're too old, we don't have the training, the medical reports not good, we don't come from an influential family, we have plenty of excuses to not believe.

But when God gives the promise, he sets the time to bring it to pass. He doesn't give you the dream and then say, "Well I think about when I'm going to do that, let me ponder it for a few months". No, the moment he gives it to you, he puts the promise on the schedule. He Marks the right time. If you knew one of your right time moments was coming, you would relax, you wouldn't live worried, you wouldn't waste time trying to figure it out, not able to sleep at night. Well, God doesn't tell us when, but he does promise: when the time is right, he's going to make it happen.

“The day God gave the Amorites up to Israel, Joshua spoke to God, with all Israel listening: “Stop, Sun, over Gibeon; Halt, Moon, over Aijalon Valley.” And Sun stopped, Moon stood stock still Until he defeated his enemies.

Don't let doubt, what you don't see happening, how unlikely it is, keep you from believing for what God promised. When thoughts tell you, "There's no way, it's been too long", just say "No, thanks, I know my right times are coming. Father, thank you that what you promised is already on the schedule. That I don't have to figure it out, but you're going to make it happen, and it's not going to be one second late".

Learn to wait the right way: wait in faith, wait with expectancy, wait with praise, thanking God in advance that it's on the way. Whatever God has promised you, he's already set the right time. It's already in your future. The question is: what do we do when it's taken longer than you thought? That's when you have to dig down deep and say, "No, God, I trust you. I know you wouldn't have promised me this, if you didn't have a right time on my schedule".

“What I will show to you must wait for the proper time. But at that time, it will happen. It will happen as I have said. It may not happen for a long time but wait for it. It will certainly happen and it will not be late.”

The longer you live the more you learned to trust God's timing. God knows what he's doing. He can see the larger and elongated picture.

If it hasn't happened yet, it hasn't been the right time. You have to trust God’s excellent timing. It doesn’t mean it's not going to happen, God has not forgotten about you. Your right time is already on His schedule. If it would have happened sooner, it wouldn't have been a blessing.

In the waiting process God is doing a work in you, getting you stronger, developing your character, preparing you to carry the weight of glory. If the situation is not changing, maybe God is using the situation to change you. If it's not working out yet, maybe he's working out something in you. The test is: will you trust him while you're waiting for the right time? Will you keep a good attitude? Will you continue being faithful, when you don't see anything happening?

This is when it's easy to get discouraged, and slip into being lethargic in serving God and appreciating all He has brought you through in the years past. Live, love, and laugh your way through this sensational Sunday!

God said, "When the time is right, I the Lord, will make it happen". The beauty is: we don't have to make it happen. You don't have to manipulate things, force a door to open, make yourself get well. God is going to make it happen. You may have obstacles that are too big for you, you don't see how you can get out of debt, how you can accomplish a dream. The good news is: you're not on your own.

At the right time God will open the doors, he'll cause you to bounce back, he'll turn things around for you.

God’s not limited by what limits us. He has these right time moments, where he's going to make things happen that you could never make happen. If there's a right time, that means any other time is the wrong time.

It takes faith and patience to see the promises.

We live in a microwave society. Just remember we serve a God that isn’t bothered by time.

Grace morning on this wonderful and winsome Wednesday.

God had a purpose for your problem, you couldn't see it at the time. There will be times when you’re asking God to help you, and seems like the problem's getting worse. You don't see how it can work out, you're tempted to live discouraged. You don't know what God is up to. His ways are not our ways. What you think is another storm, another problem, can be what God uses to make a way, to open up a new path, to do something that you've never seen. Now we don't like the storms, the thunder is loud, the wind is blowing, but God is in control of the winds, he's in control of your circumstances. God allows strong winds not to harm you, but to develop you. What looks like it's going to defeat you, God is going to use that to move you forward. God is able to do something that you're not expecting, suddenly the door opens, and you’re elevated to a new level.

“But I will trust you because of your special love. Please make me safe, so that I can be happy and thank you.”

Grace morning on this triumphant and tranquil Tuesday.

Sometimes you have problem not because you're doing something wrong, but because you're doing something right. When you honor God, it stirs up the enemy. It will stir up the jealousy, resentment, anger, critical spirit in people that don't honor God. It's not so much they don't like you, they don't like the blessing and favor that's on your life. The good news is: they cannot stop what God has ordained. God being for you is more powerful than any force that is against you.

He has you in the palm of his hand. Nothing can snatch you away. When you have a made up mind that, even if things don’t get better, you’re not going to get discouraged, and complain, but give God praise", that kind of attitude cannot be defeated. Sometimes God will let the odds be against you in a greater way on purpose, so when he turns things around, it's a bigger miracle, so everyone will see his favor on your life.

“Moses spoke to the people: “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and watch God do his work of salvation for you today. Take a good look at the Egyptians today for you’re never going to see them again.”

Grace morning on this marvelous and meaning Monday.

There will be seasons in your life when nothing looks like it's going to change, that's when you have to dig down deep and say, "God, I don't like this problem, but I know it's not by itself, that there's promotion on the other side. So, Lord help me to believe. Help me to stay in faith". We all face things that you don't understand, things that are not fair, bad breaks that don't have any purpose. Nothing happens without God’s permission. He's promised that all things will work together for your good. Sure there are things we don't understand, things that don't make sense, just keep doing the right thing, over time you'll see it all come together. There will be plenty of things that don't make sense right now. Don’t try to figure it out, put it in God's hands, "God, this problem doesn't make sense to me, but I believe you have a purpose for it. When it all comes together, I will praise you.

“Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.””

Grace morning on this sensational and serene Sunday.

Don’t let doubt, what’s not happening, what’s not fair to talk convince you to give up. Keep believing, keep praying, keep expecting. You’re on the verge of seeing God manifest a miracle out of your mess. God didn’t say, “Trust me, and I’ll keep you from trouble. Trust me and you won’t have any difficulties”. He said, “Trust me when you’re in trouble. Trust me when things don’t make sense. Trust me when a loved one doesn’t make it”. God is not going to leave you in the trouble, leave you in the heartache, that is not how your story ends. God sees what you’re going through, he can bring you out as in times past. He is more than able to turn things around. The crippling chains of circumstances, that have prevented you from moving forward, will be removed. Your trust and faithfulness to God’s word, will be the key you need to unlock the door to your deliverance.

“God, your God, has blessed you in everything you have done. He has guarded you in your travels through this immense wilderness. For forty years now, God, your God, has been right here with you. You haven’t lacked one thing.”

Life trials and troubles can get the best of us. But just because you run out of options, doesn’t mean God has run out of options. He won’t let you get in a problem that he can’t bring you out of. The reason it’s not working out your way is because God has something better. Don’t be discouraged because you’re still in the problem, things aren’t improving, doors are closing, people aren’t changing. Your problem didn’t show up alone, it came with a purpose, with a promotion, with a blessing. You keep honoring God, you’re going to come out of your problem into your promotion. Out of trouble into peace. Out of struggle into success. The enemy sent it for your harm, but God has already turned it to your advantage. If you’ll stay in faith, trust when it doesn’t make sense, believe when you don’t see a way, thank God when there’s no sign of things changing, then you’ll be blessed by God’s providential provisions and plan.

“My heart and my body may fail, but God will always make me strong. He is all that I will ever need.”

Are you stressed out over a problem, losing sleep over a difficulty, when in fact God allowed it so he can show his favor in a greater way?

God knows what he’s doing, He hasn’t allowed anything in your life that he’s not going to use for your good.

It may not be good, you may not like it, but trust him, because there may be a blessing disguised in that difficulty. There will be times you can’t see it, all you know is, it’s a bad break. It’s a disappointment. God is not through working.

You keep doing the right thing, having an attitude of faith, and your time is coming. You’re see the faithfulness of God. You’re going to look back and say, “Wow, God, if I had not had that problem, I wouldn’t be where I am. If that door had not closed, if those people had not done me wrong,

I wouldn’t have seen the blessing and the favor that you’ve shown me”.

God hasn't allowed anything in your life that he's not going to use for your good. It may not be good, may not be fair. There’s a blessing disguised in that difficulty, there is promotion attached to that problem. You can't see it, all you know is, It's bad. It's a troubling disappointment. You were hurt, the door closed, the medical report wasn't good. God is not through working. Just keep doing the right thing, having an attitude of faith, and your time is coming.

You felt him sustaining you, strengthening you, making ways where you didn't see a way. Your faith grew, your spiritual muscles got stronger, your character was developed. Every time you come through a challenge, that's fuel for your faith.

God is preparing you for greater things. The next time you face a problem, you'll "Think this is no big deal. You’re learn: the bigger the problem - the bigger your destiny. The bigger the challenge - the bigger the promotion. God doesn't send big problems to people with small futures.

Life brings something that none of us like. It brings problems, pain, pitfalls and the pendulum of sickness, disappointments, and grief. It's easy to get discouraged lose your passion; saying “why is this happening?”

But God won't allow a difficulty unless he has a purpose for it. He may not have sent the trouble, but he knows how to use it to your advantage. On the other side of every problem is promotion. The difficulty feels like a setback, but really it's a way for God to do something new in your life. On the other side of that difficulty is a new level of your development. You have to go through it to get to it. Some promotions only comes through adversity, through closed doors, through things that are not fair. Don't complain about problems. You can't reach your potential without problems. When you understand that the problem doesn't come by itself, that there is promotion in every problem, then you'll keep a good attitude.

Break out of those ruts that have held you back, have a new perspective. God can put an end to what's restricting you. No more wandering, no more seeing the favor and not experiencing it. God wants you to have life and have it more abundantly. It can be better than you've imagined. It’s not too late for you to experience the powerful and prevailing promises of the Prince of Peace.

Guard against your mind being conditioned into thinking to not expect anything good. It will put you in a rut, "Thinking, I’m just stuck out here, I’ll always struggle, always be in lack, have this hardship". God can change your mindset. It's significant that God don’t just remove your problem in a New York minute, even though, He is certainly able. God wants to change your mind first, to get your hopes up, to break out of that woe is me mentality, to get a vision for abundance, for victory, for favor. You may have struggled in areas for a long time, you've done your best to pray, believe, fight the good fight of faith, but nothing has changed. You feel stuck, like it's never going to happen. God can do a new thing, something that you've never seen, but you have to do your part and get a new mindset. No more "I'll never get out of this problem, I'll never get ahead, never meet the right person".

Clear your mind to concentrate on God, your creator who is in control.

“Lord, you are my God and I will praise you. I will say that you are very great. And I will praise your name, because you have done wonderful things. You said a long time ago what you would do. And you have done it. You were honest and your promises were true.”

Our family will never be happy, God, just let make it through the rest of this year". No, pray bold prayers.

God is going to fill the void that you bring to him.

It's not a supply problem, it's a capacity problem. Are you putting limits on what God wants to do in your life?

Are you focused on what you think can happen only in your ability? You're looking at the natural, but God is supernatural, he controls the universe, he parts Red Seas, he brought water out of a rock, he fed thousands with two fish. Don't base your success on what you can do, base it on what God can do in your life.

Life come stacked and stuff with situations where it appears you’ve come to a dead end. God knew everything that would come against you: every bad break, every disappointment, every lie, and every hurt.

If you'll get rid of your pity party, he'll make up for the wrongs. They won't keep you from reaching your goal, they will actually launch you into your destiny. You're not on your own. You and God are a majority. Nothing can stand against him. What he has purposed for your life will come to pass.

Your challenge is to get in agreement with God: all he needs to work with is mustard seed faith.

You don't have to have great faith, just a little faith, "God, I believe, you can take me where I can't go on my own.

I believe I will see the surpassing greatness of your favor". When your vision is limited, your life will be limited. It's amazing what happens when you get in agreement with God.

You're not limited by how you were raised, by what didn't work out. If that was going to stop your purpose, God wouldn't have allowed it. It's a test: are you going to settle for blinders on your abilities to do greater things? Or are you going get rid of those blinders that’s preventing God from pouring great and unexpected blessings into your life.

You have to exercise the greatness God put in you. It's not too late. You can still become all you were created to be. When you're in agreement with God, he'll make things happen that you couldn't make happen.

He'll open doors you couldn't open. He'll cause opportunity, good breaks, the right people to show up in your life.

Sometimes good people will try to convince you to keep a lid on your dreams to do bigger and better things. They've had a lid, they've been limited, they've accepted mediocrity.

You have to put your foot down and say, "No, thanks, this lid is not for me. I am not watering down my dreams to match my environment.

I'm not letting how I was raised to set limits for my life. I'm not going to lower my expectations to what I think will happen. God, I know you are all powerful, that you have a great plan for my life".Take the limits off of God. Who says you can't do something great? Who says you can't go where no one in your family has gone?

God may be calling you to be a trend-setter, a difference maker, a barrier breaker.

You don't need that lid. Quit looking at what you don't have, who left you out - the odds may be against you, but God is for you.

"thinking, I can't have a blessed year, we're in a pandemic. I'm just trying to make it.” Is limited thinking keeping God from pouring out the fullness of what he has in store?

Living with a New Mindset should be your ultimate goal, when you’re faced disappointments and setbacks. It's easy to get stuck in life and think that you’ve gone as far as you can. What could be holding you back many times is your own thinking. Jesus said, "You can't put new wine into old wineskins". Wineskins in that day were made out of leather. When they got old, the leather would become hard and rigid. If you put new wine in it, the wine would expand and cause the wine skin to burst. This is saying, "You can't have a new life with old thinking". If you think you've reached your limits, then you have. If you think the problem is too big, then it is. If you think you'll never meet the right person, you probably won't. It's not that God doesn't have blessings, favor, increase - could be that your wine skin is old. You have to get a new mindset. Start believing bigger, dreaming bigger, expecting bigger.

That accident couldn't stop your purpose. When those things tried to push you down, God lifted you up.

He carried you when you were left out, when the medical report wasn't good, when the business went down. When you're given your time and energy to help others, God is going to give you fresh strength. When you're doing the right thing when it's hard, keeping a good attitude when you've been through loss, helping someone else in your time of need, you should be worn out, discouraged, now you're going to feel God’s supernatural power lifting you, breathing strength, favor, endurance into your life.

Don't believe the lies that you're stuck, "It's too much, you can't take it". Don’t give up, don’t give in and don’t give over to what isn’t currently working in your favor. God has carried you in the past, and he's more than able to carry you in the future. Look back in your Faith file and peruse the plethora of times God came through for you.

All the burdens, stress, worries - release that weight, let him be God. You'll see him carry you through things you never thought you could get through. He'll carry you further than you ever imagined.

It's easy to thank God for blessings and turning things around. You should also thank Him for carrying you through the difficulties, for sustaining you, for not letting the opposition defeat you, not letting the worry take you out, not letting the doubt talk you out of your dreams. That wasn't just great faith, but God carrying you. God has grace for every season. How many times has he carried you, and you didn't know it? You can look back now and see: he carried you through the sickness, you had the strength that you never felt. He carried you through the loss, it was painful, but deep down you felt peace, you were able to keep moving forward.

If God carried you back then, he can carry you now.

Do you ever think about some of the trouble that somehow you came through? How did you make it through? You should still be suffering from that situation, but look at you: you're blessed, strong, doing great things. That wasn't luck, that was God carrying you. He was protecting you when you didn't realize it.

He was moving the wrong people out of the way, opening doors that you couldn't open. He's been carrying you your whole life. How did you get through that challenge with your child? You should have had a nervous breakdown, should have worn you out, caused you to give up on your dreams. But every day you had strength to move forward, you had the grace to stay in faith, you believed when every thought said. "It was never going to work out". The enemy tried to take you out, but you kept praying, God not only carried you, but he carried your child. Where would we be without the God who Carries us?

“Oh, look! God’s right here helping! God’s on my side!”

We all face seasons where we don't see how we're going to make it through: we lost a loved one, we're dealing with the sickness, we have a child that's off course. It's easy to feel overwhelmed, live worried, think we don't have the strength to go on.

Each day God Carries us in his arms". You may have situations that are too much for you, God is saying, "Don't worry, I'm going to carry you. You're going to feel supernatural strength.

Peace that passes all understanding. Favor that causes things to fall into place". On your own you wouldn't make it through the sickness, you'd fall apart in that divorce, that trouble at work would defeat you, but you're not on your own - you're being carried by the God who created you. When you look back over your life, you can see the times where God carried you. How did you make it through that unfair and shattered relationship, the death of a love one, its simply, God carried you.

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

Grace morning on this winsome and wonderful Wednesday.

James reminds us, that our life is like a vapor. If we really understood how valuable each day is, we would do our best to live it happier. It's easy to take it for granted, just get up, go through the motions, deal with the challenges, the day is gone. But if you'll have a new perspective, and start seeing every day as your best day, then you won't let little things upset you. You'll take time to enjoy the people God's given you to love. You'll stop by and say "Hello" to that neighbor that's lonely, you'll think more happy thoughts, you'll live more grateful, you'll make the most of each day. You may have some difficulties, things you could be sour about, things that could take your joy, but if you'll keep it in the right perspective, recognizing that this day is a gift from God, that really it's the best day of your life, then it's easier to live it happy. Don’t get sidetracked by worrying.

“Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.”

There should be a difference between you and the person that don't honor God.

When you go to work everyone may be complaining, discouraged, talking defeat - don't fall into that trap. Stay full of joy, keep a smile on your face, keep thinking happy thoughts. This world needs more happy people, we need more joy in the world.

If you’re not careful, you’ll let what's happening around you to get in you. That's why every morning you have to choose to be happy.

Not "I feel", but "I will rejoice, I will be happy, I will enjoy this day". God has given you another day to be alive, another day to enjoy your family, another day to see the sunrise, another day of possibilities, to pursue your dreams, to go after your goals. Sometimes we let the pressures of life, keep us from enjoying the day.

We think it's just another ordinary day. But there's no such thing as an ordinary day. Every day is a gift from God.

“Say good things about the Lord! Every day he gives us help with what we have to carry. He is the God that saves us! Selah.”

Grace morning on this marvelous and meaningful Monday.

God created you to enjoy your life, to laugh, to smile. Happiness starts on the inside. Give God something to work with. Every morning you should say to yourself, "I'm happy, I'm grateful, I'm blessed". You can't receive happiness if you're thinking sadness. Joy is coming every morning: some people have been bypassing it year after year because of their thoughts. You will live happier if you'll start thinking happier. Be happy if your plans work out. Be happy if you don't have disappointments". He was saying, "Get in a habit of thinking happy thoughts. Don't let the negative circumstances talk you out of living happy".Take some time to brag on God, tell him what he already knows about himself. "God, I know you're omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, holy, righteous, immutable, loving, kind, forgiving, mighty, marvelous and magnificent. God you're ordering my steps. I think that it's a good day. I'm healthy, I'm blessed, I have a bright future". You just switched over to happy thoughts.

Grace morning on this seismic and satisfying Sunday.

Happy thoughts are, "God, I'm grateful to be alive. I'm excited about my future. I believe you're turning my gloom into your glory. When you think happy thoughts, it not only lifts your spirit, but that attitude of faith is what allows God to do amazing things. Even when it doesn't go your way, just keep thinking happy thoughts, keep giving God praise, keep thanking him that he's working in your life, keep being grateful when you could be complaining, keep thinking victory even when you're seeing defeat. Joy is not dependent on what's going on around you, it's dependent on what's going on in you. You’ve been through a lot of loss, a lot of heartache" - that is not how your story ends. Understand this key principle: you have to give yourself permission to be happy. Sometimes you’re tempted to buy into the lie that you’re not supposed to be happy, been through too much, made too many mistakes. If I’m happy, people may not understand.

“Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.”

You can think yourself depressed, you can think yourself into a bad mood, you can think yourself a victim. As long as you're thinking about your hurts, what you didn't get, how you were left out, you're going to be discouraged. Why not start thinking happy thoughts? Happy thoughts are, "I have a bright future. Something good is going to happen to me. My latter days will be better than my former days". Don't relive and replay the loss, and disappointment. You can't move forward if you're constantly looking back.

You can't enjoy today if you're focused on yesterday. You may have had great disappointments, things that are not fair - you should start thinking yourself happy.

You should get up every morning and say, "Today is going to be a great day, I may face discouragement, but I’m going to delight myself in the Lord". That’s getting your mind going in the right direction. It's easy to think yourself sad. Try thinking yourself happy in spite of your current circumstances.

“The person who knows that the God of Jacob will help him is a happy person! If he trusts in the Lord as his God, he is happy.”

What would happen if you took on the nature of birds. You would sing God praises every morning? Not be moved by your conditions nor circumstances, but you would sing in the dark when things aren't favorable. You would sing in the cold, when you didn’t feel like it. You could be discouraged, down, disappointed, complaining, instead you’ll be making the choice that you’re going to live this day happy. One reason birds are happy, is they haven't watched the news. They haven't read the paper, they're not on social media, nobody has told them they're supposed to be worried, afraid, upset.

Outside circumstances don’t affect birds, because of what they have on the inside.

They believe their Heavenly Father is in control. They've seen him take care of them in the past, they believe he'll take care of them in the future. If you're going to live joyfully, you may have to tune some things out.

You can't take in negative all the time and stay in faith. Think on things that are pure, positive, and productive. Our thinking has a lot to do with our happiness.

“The purpose of these troubles is to show whether you really trust God. When you believe in Jesus, that is more valuable even than gold. People put gold into a hot fire to see if it genuine.”

Birds sing different sounds and melodies. Outside my office, one would chirp real loud, there'd be a pause, then another bird chirps. At times they'd all chirp together, sounded like a symphony. The next morning five o'clock in the morning, same thing. Over and over. The next morning it was raining, thundering, I thought there's no way those birds are singing today, no way they're be happy: cold, rainy, lightning. Soon as I started my Five o'clock devotion, the birds were louder than ever. I found myself asking God, why are birds so happy? Don't they know we're in a pandemic? Haven't they heard, there are problems in the world, the price of gas is high, the supply chain is messed up, how can they be singing? What if they don't get their worms today? It's interesting how God put something in those birds to start the day off singing. They're saying in effect,

“Life is good. We're happy. We're going to enjoy this day, how about you?"

“I say to myself, ‘Praise the Lord!’ Lord, my God, you are very great!”

One way you honor God is by living joyfully. He didn't create you to drag through the day, overcome by problems, discouraged by disappointments. No, this day is a gift from God. We should feel a responsibility to live it in faith, joyful, good natured. Once this day is over, you can never get it back. You don't have time to waste another minute being negative, discouraged, disappointed, and focused on what didn't work out. Don’t complain over who did you wrong. You can use that as an excuse, and let it sour the rest of your life. Take charge of your day, by saying, "Father, thank you for entrusting me with another day. I'm not going to take it for granted. I recognize,

it's a day that you have made.

I'm going to choose to be joyful. I'm going to authentically, appreciate and applaud God for letting me see this day.

When you have that kind of attitude, God will make up for the wrongs.

“He continued, “Go home and prepare a feast, holiday food and drink; and share it with those who don’t have anything: This day is holy to God. Don’t feel bad. The joy of God is your strength!””

Have you thought about starting off your day by saying, "This is the day the Lord has made" "I'm going to be glad today. I'm going to rejoice". I’m going to pause and thank God. I recognize that he not only made this day, but He allowed me to be alive. God chose me before I could choose him. He formed me in my mother's womb. I'm not going to waste this day living negative, focused on my problems, dwelling on my hurts. I'm going to live this day to the full". You and I are not here by accident. God could have chosen anyone to be alive today - there are billions of people that have lived and died, but God handpicked you to be here at this time. He woke you up this morning, he gave you strength to get out of bed, he's crowned you with favor, he put seeds of greatness in you, he calls you "More than a conqueror, a royal priesthood.”

Grace morning on this glorious and meaningful Monday.

Life can be much more rewarding if we start choosing to be happy? We can't get away from negative circumstances, having won’t keep you from trouble, bad breaks, people that do you wrong. But those things don't have to take your joy. You're in control of your happiness. Don’t complain that you can’t “stand this job, I don't like going to work here". Try a different approach, "God, I'm blessed and happy that I have a job. Strengthen me to not let these people steal my joy".

If you'll have a good attitude where you are, that's a seed God will use to change things. But if you're sour at your job, and God gave you a better job, when someone does you wrong there, you'll be sour at that place too. You have to get happy where you are. "This health issue hasn't turned around yet, but God, I'm going to be happy while you're changing things".

You control your happiness. It's not up to anyone else.

“Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely.

Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.”

Life can get so routine, that you’re not really releasing your faith. You find yourself being lulled into thinking, “it’s never going to happen for me, it’s been so long, I’ll never get recover from this mistake. Maybe you’ve been struggling, everything’s been uphill, but if you’re trust God and be faithful you’ll see a change. God can cause things to fall into place. Your place of employment, you’ve been doing your best, working hard, but not receiving the credit you deserve, don’t worry. He is going to promote you, push you up, set you on a new level. God is in control of your trial, and you can trust that He has a purpose for the struggle. He does have the power to bring you out of difficult and dark situations. It might not make a bit of sense, but if God chooses not to divinely deliver you, It is your responsibility as a believer to grow and develop into the person that He wants you to be.

A mark of maturity is when you can be happy even when things aren't going your way. That your joy is not based on your circumstances. The enemy wants you thinking and focus on, “when the pandemic is over I'll get my joy back. When I finish paying your bills off, I’ll be happy. When the weather change, I’ll be in a good mood. If you're putting off your happiness, there will always be some reason to not be happy. God wants you to have a life of abundance. But in God's economy, it never has to do with acquiring worldly possessions that will one day vanish. Why don't you make a decision that you're going to be happy today? Not when it clears up, not when your supervisor or manager changes, not when you get a new neighbor - this is the day the Lord has made. If you can’t rejoice where you are, you probably won't be happy, when you get to where you want to be.

You might very well have all kinds of opposition, coming against you, people slandering your name, your family in disarray. Your circumstances may try to dictate that you should be discouraged, afraid, lonely, bitter. The evil enemy of this world will try to influence you to report on current situation, he wants you to say, "This is the day the Lord has made, and I'm really discouraged, I've got a lot of problems", that may be true. But make a declaration of faith. "Despite the opposition I will be happy. Despite what people think about me, I will choose to rejoice.

We would go a lot further, enjoy life a lot more, if we would simply ignore things.

if somebody’s talking about you, don’t try to straighten them out; ignore it. When someone do you wrong, don’t retaliate; let God fight your battles, ignore it and keep moving forward. Nobody can hinder you from reaching your destiny, but you. If you find yourself in conflict, upset, trying to prove your point, that’s a sign that you’ve come down too low; don’t waste any emotional energy on that, rise above it. When you take the high road, some people will mistake that for weakness; the truth is, it’s a sign of strength. it takes a strong person to overlook an insult. it takes maturity to not get in an argument. Some people will try to bait you; they feed off of arguing, on purpose, they’ll do things to try to get you riled up. If you comply, if you give in, you’re allowing them to control your joy.

“If people do bad things to you, do not do anything bad to them in return. If people say bad things against you, do not say bad things back to them. Instead, pray that God will be good to those people. That is what God wants you to do. Then you also will receive good things from God.”

When you wake up in the morning you get to choose how you’re going to live that day. You can choose to live in faith, happy, expecting favor, or you can choose to live discouraged, defeated, focused on your problems. Happiness doesn’t automatically happen – it’s a choice you have to make. You can’t wait to see what kind of day it’s going to be, you have to decide what kind of day it’s going to be. First thing in the morning you need to make up your mind, “I’m going to live this day happy. I’m going to see the good, I’m going to be grateful, I’m going to love my family, I’m going to enjoy this day”. If you don’t decide how you’re going to live – circumstances will decide for you. You’ll see every problem. You’ll think, “I don’t feel like going to work”. When you dwell on those thoughts, you may not realize it, but you’re choosing to live discouraged, you’re choosing to have a lousy day.

Somethings didn’t happen the way you thought, buy can’t accept that it’s probably not going to happen, you can’t become comfortable with good enough. It’s time to move forward, God has new levels in front of you, new opportunities, God has it all figured out, if you’ll start pursuing what God put in your heart, God will make a way where you don’t see a way, just because you gave up on a dream doesn’t mean God gave up. You might have changed your mind, but God didn’t change His mind, He still has a victorious plan in front of you.

There will always be something trying to convince you to pull up your anchor: delays, disappointments, bad breaks. In tough times, when life doesn’t seem fair, your prayers weren’t answered, it’s taking longer than you thought, you have to make sure to keep your anchor down; if you pull it up, you’ll drift into bitterness, discouragement and self-pity.

When problems look impossible, every voice tells you, “it’s not going to work out, forget it, you’re wasting your time.” Most people would throw in the towel, but because your attitude is anchored, you can say with complete confidence,“I may not see a way, but I know God has a way, He able to open doors no man can shut.” When you’re anchored to hope, God will make things happen that you could never make happen. When you’re anchored to hope, something in you says, “God can accelerate my deliverance and bring me out of this major problem. God has explosive and enormous blessings coming my way.”

An anchor is something that holds a boat in place. once the captain arrives at his destination, he puts the anchor down; that way, he won’t drift, and end up in places that he doesn’t want to be. when the boat is anchored, it may move a little bit, with the waves and the wind, but the captain isn’t worried, he can relax; he knows the anchor is down. No matter how hard the waves beat against a ship, because it’s anchored, it will stay in place. Just like a ship, life winds will blow, waves of adversity with attack your peace. No matter what you face, how big the difficulty, you know God is still on the throne, His plans for you are for good, that He’s bigger than any challenge. You might go through a loss, a disappointment, your emotions are pulling you towards discouragement, you can’t explain it, but you hear a voice saying, “everything’s going to be alright; that’s the anchor of hope.

If you’re troubled about many things, stop. Take each thought and roll that burden over to God. He can handle it. Make it a habit to give small and large concerns to God instantly. Before long casting your care feels as natural as breathing.

Sometimes, God will allow difficult situations, just to prove to you that He’s God. When you’re in difficult situations, God has people praying for you that you don’t know anything about, He will allow difficult situations, just to prove to you that He’s God. Some of the battles God allows in your life are not just about you; it’s to make a statement to the people around you. Nothing speaks louder than when people see the favor of God on your life. The fact that you overcame obstacles that should have held you back, will have people wanting to know more about how you came through. Always be mindful that God is in complete control and nothing can snatch you out of His hands.

“Behold, God is mine helper: The Lord is with them that uphold my soul.”

Grace morning on this terrific and triumphant Tuesday.

It's amazing what happens when we don't let fear, doubt, negative thinking in our minds. How you were raised should have limited you, but you're successful, strong. That major mistake should have controlled you, but you overcame it. The pandemic should have taken you under, but you're still standing. You should have been lonely, but God sent someone awesome. Sometimes God will let you get in a difficult situation, things you don't understand, it's not fair. That doesn't mean you don't have the blessing, the blessing is what's going to bring you out. God is going to use that situation to show his power through you. When people see how it turns around, how you defy the odds, how you get a better position, they're going to know: the blessing is on your life. God will use you to spread his fame God. You don't have to live worried, afraid of what might happen -God has you in the palm of his hand, nothing can snatch you away.

“So now, prepare your minds, so that you are ready to live in a good way. Think clearly about how God helps you. Always remember that God will be very kind to you when Jesus Christ comes again.”

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:13‬ ‭EEB

Grace morning on this marvelous and meaningful Monday.

Don't let what people have spoken over you keep you from your greatness.

The enemy would love for you to live limited, not go after your dreams, not feel attractive, not think you can be successful.

When those lies try to push you down, you need to close your eyes and imagine God's hand of blessing on your head. This blessing is more powerful than what people have told you. It's more powerful than lies the enemy whispers. The blessing on your life will override every negative voice that's trying to hold you back. The only thing that can stop the blessing is if you believe the lies, if you think you're limited, you can't go further, or you're not that talented, or "Everyone in my family struggles".

That may be true, but you're the difference maker, you're the one to defy the odds, you're the one to set new standards. If you'll have the right perspective, knowing that you're blessed, God will take you further than you've ever imagined.

“Be generous with me and I’ll live a full life; not for a minute will I take my eyes off your road.”

Grace morning on this serene and seismic Sunday.

A blessed mindset will lead to a blessed life. You may have obstacles that look too big, you don't see how you can accomplish your dream, but the blessing on your life is more powerful than any force that tries to stop you. Blessings from God doesn't do you any good, if you think you're limited, you've been through too much, your family didn't support you, you never get any good breaks. Limited thinking will lead to a limited life.God wants to bless you in such a way, that others want what you have. Others will see you’re so happy, so healthy, so successful, so generous, so stable, always in a good mood, that you stand out. You're an example of God's goodness. Not barely getting by, but blessed in such a way that you can be a blessing to others. You're not only accomplishing your dreams, seeing overflow, setting new standards, but you're helping others to rise higher. Don't have a limited mentality, have a blessed mentality.

Happy New Year on this fresh and first day of 2022.

If you'll become deaf to the negative comments, God will bless you in front of the people that try to push you down. He'll honor you in front of those that said you didn't have what it takes. God knows how to prepare a table in the presence of your enemies. Not promote you in private, but he'll promote you with those that didn't believe in you we'll see you honored, see you in new levels of influence and favor.

You have to become deaf to negative remarks. When the enemy try and come against you, switch over to faith, "Father, thank you that you are fighting my battles, that you are making my crooked places straight, that no person, no group, no committee, can’t stop what you have planned for my life". Keep doubt and negative comments out your mind. People don't have the final say, God does.

Don't let their negative comments, their doubt talk you out of what God put in your heart.

“They presented themselves before Moses and Aaron and the whole congregation of the People of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They reported to the whole congregation and showed them the fruit of the land. Then they told the story of their trip: “We went to the land to which you sent us and, oh! It does flow with milk and honey! Just look at this fruit! The only thing is that the people who live there are fierce, their cities are huge and well fortified.””

Grace morning on this tremendous and triumphant Thursday.

When God turns it around, everything you've lost will be restored. Instead of shame, he will give you honor. Burdens you've carried will be lifted, God is able to silence all those that have made your life miserable. Start thanking God down in your spirit for your turn around time. What's limited you in the past is not going to limit you anymore. Don't just think about your problems, don't just worry, live stressed - go to God in prayer, ask him to turn it around, ask him to heal you, to free you, to favor you, to bring that dream to pass, to move that mountain.

Not begging him, "Oh, God please, you got to do it". No, go to him in faith, "Father, I know you're bigger than this problem, you're stronger than this opposition, you're more powerful than theses circumstances surrounding me. Ask God to make a way, where you don't see a way. Here's the key: once you pray, believe that it's already done.

“The best part of the year is when you give us good things. Everywhere you go there is plenty.”

Grace morning on this wonderful and winsome Wednesday.

God knows how to turn people that are against you, and cause them to be for you. When God is ready to turn it around, no person can stop him, no plot, plan, program, person or predicament can stop him. What God has purpose for your life will come to pass. When you face situations that seem permanent, you've done all you can and the door hasn't opened, the person hasn't changed,

the medical report hasn't improved, you feel like, it's too late, you've run out of options - no, don’t buy into negativity, a turnaround is coming. What God started he's going to finish. There's not a mountain you face that he can't handle. There's not a person that's against you, that God can't change their mind. You don't have to convince people who you are. You do your part, and leave the rest to God. The scripture says, "God can turn the heart of a king". God knows how to turn people to be for you.

“Once everyone was accounted for and we realized we had all made it, we learned that we were on the island of Malta. The natives went out of their way to be friendly to us.”

A blessed mindset can lead to a blessed life. You may have obstacles that look too big, you don't see how you can accomplish your goal, but the blessing on your life is more powerful than any force that tries to stop you.

Sometime it's good to close your eyes and see God’s hand of blessing on your life. When your dream seems impossible, the obstacle's too big, you're weary, you don't think you could go on - just picture the Creator of the universe, the God who spoke worlds into existence, laying his hands on your head, releasing favor, hope, strength, and breakthroughs.

You are not limited, you're not lacking - God's hand will cause you to defeat giant obstacles, it'll keep you safe when you're at a dead end. God's hand of blessing is a supernatural favor. Doors will open that you couldn't open. It's a hedge of protection, keeping you safe from what should harm you.

It's a divine empowerment. You'll discover ability that you didn't know you had.

Grace morning on this marvelous and meaningful Monday.

God continues to prove to us that no matter how hard people try, no matter what they say or do, they cannot stop the blessing that God places on your life.

What God has spoken over you overrides every negative voice.

People telling you what you can't do, bad breaks, dysfunction - this hand of blessing will break every generational curse, things that keep getting passed down. This is a new day, freedom starts with you, wholeness starts with you, abundance starts with you, victory starts with you.

The blessing on your life can cause you to go where no one in your family has gone. Forces that have held you back, can be broken right now. God can release you into new levels of influence, new levels of resources, new opportunities, new relationships.

The blessing on your life is not just going to make up for what went wrong, but it's going to launch you ahead. Now, you have to do your part and live bless-minded.

“No weapons that anybody makes to fight against you will beat you. If people say bad things against you, you will show that it is not true. That is what the servants of the Lord will enjoy. And their righteousness will be from me.’ Those are the words of the Lord.”

Grace morning on this serene and seismic Sunday.

Sometimes we're envying everyone else, "Man, I wish I had their talent, I wish I had her looks, I wish I was as successful as my neighbor". As long as you see yourself as lacking, at a disadvantage, it's going to limit you. It’s good to celebrate others, this allows God to do great things in your life. God can to prosper you in a negative environment, to promote you when you weren't next in line, to heal you when the report says there's no way, to take you where no one in your family has gone.

Don't let what people have spoken over you keep you from your greatness.

The enemy would love for you to live limited, not go after your dreams, not feel attractive, not think you can be successful. When those lies try to push you down, close your eyes and imagine God's hand of blessing on your head. His blessing is more powerful than lies, the enemy whispers against you.
