Trust God..May not be easy, but it will never be wrong....

It is always scary in the midst our problems when we can't see how we will overcome. My encouragement to you is to trust God to provide. He will provide. You don't know what God will do or how he will do it, but just know God will do it for you.

It is very easy for us in the midst of our problems to never see the big picture. We can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. It is so hard for us to see ourselves coming through all the flames around us. We feel that we don't own the tools needed to deal with our problems. You may not have all the tools you need on this earth but you have the Lord. The Lord is THE PROVIDER. He is the One who can get us through our trials and tribulations. He is an awesome God. God will be our refuge and God will be our victory. I know it is hard to trust hat God can get you through in the midst of being in your darkest hour but trust God to provide. God has earned your trust and deserves your trust. Call on to him and he will answer you. He will not forsake you. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."(Prv.3:5) It's OK that you don't have the solutions. I know that it can be frustrating but do not lose hope. Your friends may give you alternatives, but God will give you solutions. God will be the solution you need him to be in your dark hour. Trust in God. God will take your trust and reward it with much more than you have ever asked of him. Be Blessed...

Keep Fighting..God is Fighting with You

My encouragement to you this week is to fight with everything you have against the discouragements that surround us. Ask God to be all of your help. The power and grace of God knows no boundaries. It may be hard but never quit. You WILL fall but you WILL rise again. God is faithful to you. He will honor your faith.

We all know the lyric, "It ain't over...until God says it's over." How many really understand that? Do we really take that to heart? Do we really believe that God will do what he says he promised in our lives? Do you question that? I'm asking you to believe in God 100%. Unfailing. It may look very bad in your present circumstances but never give up on God.
My next exhortation is to you as Christians. Be willing to put up a fight against the things that that discourage you. Fight with all your heart because you may be in the fight of your life. You will never be satisfied by just waiting with no action. You have to be willing to fight through your discouragements. You will fail a couple times and that's OK. I know failure is very hard to deal with for anyone but your failure will make you stronger and wiser. You will rise up to fight back without a doubt. God will honor you faith to him. Go will provide you with the power you need to be great and to triumph. This life will be filled with problems but with Jesus we know that we will be triumphant in the midst of those problems. God will never place a burden on you that you cannot bear. He will build you and your faith to fight against your discouragements. As the song It Ain't Over says, " Keep fighting until your victory is won" Your perseverance in Christ will be the difference. God will not let you be defeated because nothing can defeat the power of our Father..Be Blessed...

Big Problems???....Bigger God

My encouragement is for you this week is to stand up to your challenges and keep facing them. You may get pushed back but ask God for the strength and will to drive forward. You can do it. You've always been good enough to do it. God will give you victory. You may doubt yourself but NEVER doubt God.

We all have challenges which can get us so far down it hurts to even think about it. It hurts us so bad we can't find the motivation to face all of our other challenges which have been barriers to us. I'm asking you to stand up to those challenges head on with courage. You may get pushed back but you drive forward. Invite God into the midst of your problems. You invite him in the midst of these trials to take on the battle for you and with HIM. Not with you because the battle has always been the Lord's, not yours. You can do it. You are good enough to do it. God is powerful enough to help your ambition become a reality of triumph. You may have doubts in your ability but NEVER doubt what God can do. God is awesome all the time. Psalms 25:3 "No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame." That is a promise and a fact. Believe in this. God says in Isiah 45:22 " Turn to me and be saved..." God is saying just follow and I will handle your problems. There is no other but God...In the words of Marvin Sapp, " There’s no question of Your greatness, no searching of Your power." God is all of our help. So this week, confront your problems. You can do it. You have the best help that can be offered. Your problem may not be resolved this week..DO NOT GIVE UP ON IT!!! Not all of our problems are simple. Some may endure but God will endure with you. Trust him and praise him everyday that you are able to confront these problems. There are days where you will want to quit but praise him everyday that you still push forward. NEVER STOP TRYING. GOD HAS NEVER QUIT ON YOU...Be Blessed...

God Makes Promises..and KEEPS THEM

God fulfilled his promise by sending his son Jesus to be born. God will fulfill all his promises to you through his faithfulness, compassion, righteousness, & peace. Let God take the lead in your life. Set the path in your heart and let God order your steps.

God kept his promise to send us a savior. Isaiah was talking about it even in the old Testament. He even prophesied from who's family will Jesus come from when he is born. God let him know these things years before Jesus birth and it happened. God will keep all the promises for you as a child of God. God promises to be faithful to you as his child. Was God not faithful to Christ? God heard his prayers and helped him in every moment of his life. God promised he will give you compassion. God's chosen people sinned against him repeatedly of the SAME SIN. But every time they called on to the Lord, in his faithfulness he helped them. He was compassionate because he know what they deserved but he was always willing to forget their transgressions in order to show that he is still their Father and he cares. God promises us righteousness, justice. God is not a God who cares how great you look on this Earth. Do not be jealous of those who have much more than you. Be grateful that God has not let you go without. He has been faithful to you to give you what you need to make it and and to be awesome. Continue to seek him with your heart. Not just with good deeds but with your heart. Lastly God gives us the promise of peace. This is a promise we all seek. Sometimes our lives our so calamitous that we can not even take a moment to think about the simplest things. God granted Jesus with the peace to do great things even in the midst of trial. We can be granted the peace we need to stand up to our trials or the peace we need to simply enjoy the great things around us God has given. I pray that anyone who doesn't know the promises of God, seek God and build your relationship with him. NOW is the best time. Do not delay. God is waiting on you and happy to have you..Be Blessed..

God Can Do It...

My encouragement to you this week is to stand with God and trust in God. Your ability will always be limited. But there is nothing God can't do. He will go to great lengths to provide you will all that you need.

As the year comes to a close in a few weeks, we all reflect on how the year has passed us by. For some of us, this year has been a good one. We have things God has blessed us with to give us joy. God has given you the family you wanted, the spouse you've need, the clarity you've been seeking, the job you thoughts wasn't there, etc. For some others this year has brought a lot of turmoil, heartache, physical and mental agony, financial instability, broken family bonds, etc. I am asking you to stand with him no matter what! Don't give up on God period. If you were trusting him before any of these things in your life took place, don't give up on him now. This life was NEVER meant to be easy. In 1 Peter it says " though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed." It says when Jesus is revealed...not a question of if he will be revealed. God will show up! God will not let any child suffer forever. There is much happiness to be found in our Father. There is hope for your circumstances. Life is very trying and very hard. This life does not come without its problems. I know it seems like you may be at wits with everything. You really need God...call on him. In Isaiah 40:29 it says "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." He will increase your strength to make you ready to bear and ready to be delivered. God will give you the strength to do great tings and achieve the things people say weren't possible. Our ability is limited but what is there on this Earth that God cannot do for you? Psalms says ," It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze." Love God with all that you have and he will show you what he is capable of. He will go through great lengths to provide for those in need of him. He will do everything possible to show you he deserves your trust. Trust in God and trust in his ability. He will do great thing sin your life. Be ready and thankful when he shows you who he is. There is nothing under the sun that can't be moved by the hand of God. His arms have never been too short. I pray you get to know him if you are not a follower of his will. If you want to the peace in your distress, accept God into your life now! For those of you who already know the Lord, don't give up on him now. He is making provisions for you. Be patient. He has provided for you so far right???? Exactly...stand with God..Be Blessed

God Will Give You Hope...

My encouragement to you this week is to maintain your hope in God. Keep trying. Let your ambitions for success be greater than the memories of your failures. God will not fail you.

Maintain your hope n God. In this time in our country, the light at the end of the tunnel seems so hard to see at times. It looks so hard and so bleak like goodness will never come your way. We may feel abandoned by God, but we are not abandoned. We will not be let go by God. God will be there for us. Put all your hope in him. Wait on the Lord. He is our help and our shield. He will lift you up when you need to be lifted and he will protect you from the things that want to bring you down. But e must put our complete hope in him. You're down on your luck and nothing seems to be going your way. The job that you are looking for is still not here. The diagnosis to your health is still not here. The relationship that is hurting you is still not fixed. The Lord's love is unfailing. The Lord is a redeemer. He his a God of redemption. He will place you where you need to be and he will place you better than where you were before your situation. God will give your situation back to you in better shape than what you gave it to him!!! Be ambitious and keep trying. Don't you dare give up on yourself. You keep trying to get it done. It maybe painful too encounter some of those barriers over and over again but you keep your ambition and don't stop trying. You will push passed it. God is with you and he will not fail you. Believe it. Believe God. I encourage anyone without a relationship w/God to seek him. Believe in him. Allow God to take your life in a direction better than the one you planned for yourself. Be Blessed...

Seek His Will....Let God Battle for You...

My encouragement for you this week is to seek the will of God and stay in the will of God. God will be all that you need and more than what you can ask for. His will is the key to the peace that we all need and hope for.

We must continue to seek the will of God. The will of God is what's good for all of us. The will of God is what we need in our lives daily. The will of God is our road to peace, happiness, and success. Let us take the story of Asa. Asa was a king who was blessed by God because he looked towards the will of God. Asa was outnumbered by 700,000 when he went to warfare. Did he fret? No. Immediately he got down on his his knees and called to the Lord. He knew who God was and what God was capable of in his time of distress. God will instruct you from that point on. His will is what separates us from victory and defeat. God DOESN'T KNOW FAILURE!!! GOD AND FAILURE WILL NEVER BE MENTIONED IN THE SAME BREATH!!! Are we like Asa? Do we forget God in our time of distress? Do we remain just as confident as Asa? Do we try and take on the battle ourselves? How often does that work? I will say this repeatedly from now on: Don't take the battle out of the Lord's hand. He knows what to do. He has the strategy to win this battle for you and the next battle for you. But you must stay in the will of the Lord. You must remain in his will to even know to give this battle to God. I know it seems simple but ask yourself: in my last problem," Did I try to fix it first?" Give it to God. Give it to the one who knows the solution for our troubles. Jesus is the unique solution to all of our problems. He is the unique solution to all the troubles which may cause us worry. If you don't know the benefits of being a true child of God..make the decision today to give your life and all that you have to him...You will never have to fight a battle on your own again...Be Blessed...

Give Yourself to Another

My encouragement to you during this week of thanksgiving is to show love to one another. Be compassionate. Give the best of yourself to others around.

This message is very simple. This week I implore you to give yourself and time to someone. Be compassionate to those who may need you at this very hour. It is through our compassion where will we touch others the most. Not pity, but compassion. We must take the time to love each other the way that Christ loved us. Through all of our mes and self-inflicted wounds, he never treated us in this manner. Love one another in this same regard saints...Be Blessed...

Try Again...

My encouragement for you this week is to Try Again. God says try again. Push passed the painful memories of your failure and hold on to your ambition of success and deliverance. God can change your circumstances. God will use you even in your circumstances now. Believe in his faithfulness to you.

This message is so simple but yet so difficult for us. We must continue to keep trying no matter how hard it seems. You can't fail forever. I know sometimes that we are afraid of reliving a memory of the failure we experienced the 1st time. We get so nervous that we kind of half way try the second time or we develop the " I give up" frame of mind mind because it feels like we are constantly getting pushed back when we try to move forward. Try again. I know it is hard. I know that we are having problems dealing with our disappointment too. Try again. God has chosen you for a reason. God will direct your steps along the way. Your situation is working out too when you are turning it over to God. Not out of desperation but out of choice. God will save you always from the things that afflict you. Proverbs 24:16 " Though a righteous man falls seven times,he will get up." Never doubt that if you are walking with the father that you can't get back up. You can get right back up. Try again. Try with God in the mix. Invite him in the midst of your troubles. You can succeed. God is faithful to you. You WILL succeed...Be Blessed..

Rest on His Promises...

My encouragement to you this week is to just depend on God. The power and grace of God knows no boundaries. He will take whatever you have and turn it into everything you need. He will be whatever you need him to be.

My message to you this week is to always depend on God. God will be exactly whatever you need him to be in your times of goodness and in your times of sorrow. I promise you this. He is a faithful God who has always got our best interests in mind. You may be going through a hard time at this point in your life but don't think that God has abandoned you. Depend on him even when it's hard. There is no boundary to his love and there is no limit of his grace. There is much comfort in the Lord but we must seek it. We must seek that comfort out. When we are with the Lord, expect your situation to change. It may not happen at that minute, in that week, or in that month but you can EXPECT that situation to change. God does not delight in out suffering. God wants us to be happy. There is no good father who wants their child to suffer. God is the good father. Keep your COURAGE. At all costs, do not let your circumstances defeat you because our God doesn't know anything about defeat or failure. He will provide everything we need victorious in our times of trouble. Lean on him. It's OK. I know some of us hate leaning on our friends to hard in fear of disappointment but your friends don't compare to God. You will never be disappointed. You will never be brought to shame for your faith. If you don't have a relationship with God to know this comfort, do not delay. Invite God into your life and let him work for you. Trust in him. If you do have God in your life, today is the day to put your faith to work...no regrets...Be Blessed...
