Is Your Life is In God's Hands..?

My encouragement to you this week is let God be in control. God is not putting us on a path of no troubles. God is putting us on paths to trust him. God has the power to cease our tough times. God he has the power to sustain you in our trials. You've tried everything else. Now let God take control. You will see the difference.

Life is a journey full of many, many twist and turns. We all are on our own journey. We may run into people on our journeys we know. Same pursuit but still unique to that individual. One thing that will be common on all of our journeys is that we will encounter trouble. We know it's the path we need to be on and we run into problems. We get discouraged. We ask ourselves is this the way that we need to be on. We begin to question. Saints, sometimes God puts us on a certain path to become what he wants us to be. he may allow this trouble so you can come out how he wants you to come out. God sees the best in you and knows at times your best has not been achieved. Hardships forces you to be at your best to gain the peace you want. The biggest thing is that we need to let God be in control of our lives. We try all of our friends, family, and colleagues before we look to the Lord. God was supposed to be first and last. God can command all your problems to cease immediately! Whatever the problem is, God will always be the answer. God may lead you on a path of trouble so you can lean on him. You need to trust him to take over the situation. God will hold you up. You will be ready to endure. You will be able to meet the problems head on and conquer the enemy before you. Give God control and God will give you much more. If you are still not in fellowship with God, do it now. Don't delay. Peace awaits you. A life after this life awaits you...Be Blessed...

God Turns our Tears of Sadness into Tears of Joy

My encouragement to you this week is trust in the faithfulness of Christ. Jesus is the unique solution to ALL our problems. There is no one else where we will find everything we need. He knows we can't do it alone. Trusting in God can be tough, but God will respond to your faith. Persistence & optimism are key to see God's work in our lives. He will turn your tears into shouts of joy.

If you don't know, or fail to realize, Jesus is the solution to all of problems that we are going through. Jesus is the unique solution which people tend to try when all of their efforts are exhausted. Jesus needs to be our first, middle, and last option in all our trials. We try to carry some burdens alone and it can be very hard and very trying to our minds and our bodies. We feel so defeated in many ways. We get discouraged and we start to question is God there? God is there! The Lord is all together faithful. The Lord is not one to ever turn his back to our cries. We have to keep believing that God will work it out for us. We have to stat persistent and prayer. These key elements will strengthen your faith in the ability of God. God says in Isaiah 41 "9 You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. 10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." God is not rejecting you or your prayer so do not quit on him.God is not quitting on you. You must continue to trust that Jesus is listening to your cries for help. He knows how much your happiness means to you so He will grant it to you. Wait on the Lord with a cheerful heart and with an immovable faith. Those tears that you have been crying day in and day out will cease. The only tears you will be left with will be tears of joy...Be Blessed..

Redemption is YOURS!!!

Good morning. My encouragement to you this week is to praise God as the Redeemer. God intends for nothing to have us bound forever. God is working towards our freedom. And when God frees you, he will free you forever. There is nothing God cannot overpower.

You may feel bound by something that is holding you back from where you want to be. Do not get discouraged yet Saints. God is going to free you of that situation. In these times, thing s are harder to see. All thoughts swirl in your mind. You question is God listening. You question yourself. You have to guard your heart which means guarding your mind. Never let yourself be your greatest enemy. God is working on your behalf. Pray to God and remain faithful. God intends nothing to be our master besides him. God is our master, our savior, our healer, our deliverer, and our redeemer. There is no one like God. God wants us to live in freedom. Romans 10:10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. Confess sins and troubles to God, and God will take care of the rest. God is a God of love who wants his children to prosper. Go will conquer your chains. God will provide the delivery we wait for..Trust in his saving grace....Be Blessed...

Serve Others...as Christ has served you..

Good morning Saints. My encouragement to you this week is to serve others as Christ has served you. Speak encouragement to another, spend time with those in trial, or volunteer your labor to better someone else. Be a servant to others.

Be a servant to others. My encouragement to you this week is that simple. It is our responsibility to give to others. Someone has given to us at one time or another. We have a responsibility to serve others. It is our expression of love, compassion, and joy to better the lives of someone. If we look at the life of Christ, Christ served others in so many capacities for a lifetime. His words inspired hope in the lives of many. His kindness expressed the love he had for us even in our times of rebellion against God. He was never too busy to help the life of another. Are we this way with others? Do we really try and give our service to better another or are we too busy self-serving ourselves? I look at my own life at times and wonder do I do too much for others. A very good friend of mine kept me encouraged to keep up the work and I am grateful for her constant encouragement. When you are impacting the life of another, the work will never feel like it is too much. You are doing a great thing to help someone else become the great person you want them to be. You are volunteering your time to see the joy on the faces of others. You spend time with those in trial because they will truly know what love is and how to give it to another person. All things that Christ has done for people and all the things Christ is doing for us...Be Blessed...

Greatness..It's In You!!

My encouragement to you this week is to realize how great you are, even in the midst trials! You are supplied with the strength of God. Don't let the memory of failure tell you different. God hasn't blessed us with mediocrity. God wants you to be great! He will strengthen you to endure your trials and he will empower you to succeed in all your ways!

Realize how great you are. You are capable of great things. I know when we are going through our trials it can be hard to even think of yourself as anything profound. But I want to tell you, YOU ARE GREAT!!! Realize your greatness. God has not made it so that we are to be unhappy our whole lives. We may go through trials that may last for a little while but we will not be condemned to our fates as long as God is involved. God will give you the strength to last through your situation. Believe in God. Believe in his everlasting strength. You have to be faithful so you will have to endure. God deserves the glory and the honor. Give it to him for what he has done for your life. The Lord will endure forever. His Love endures forever. Call to God. God wants you to be great too!! He wants you to be great so that you will know that it is through God's grace your success is given to you...Be Blessed...

God is Real..Seek God and God Will Find You...

Good morning Saints. My encouragement to you this week is to keep your eyes & heart focused on the qualities of God. In the midst of trouble, God will become more real in your life. God will be your Father, Provider, Healer, & Comfort.

Deuteronomy 4:29 says "But from there you will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul." I think sometimes when we are calling to God we are more in hope that he happens to catch our requests of him in his ear. Is there any real sincerity in our search for the Lord? Are we seeking God with our hearts because this is our desire or are we just hopelessly hoping he finds us? In the midst of our troubles, I think we have a tendency to call on him out of our desperation rather than call on him because our hearts are looking for him. God always seems to be the last resort. Make God the first choice and last choice. Seek him with your soul. When you call out to God, call on him with all your heart. God will draw closer to you to strengthen your resolve in his holy name. God has a lot of great qualities. God is our healer, our comfort, our provider, our everything. God is amazing. He is sovereign. God is compassionate. God is omniscient. God is omnipresent. God is all knowing. God is strong. God is love. God is aware. This list can go on and on of how great God is. Seek God with all of your heart and soul and you will see just how real God is. God says in Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me. This is something I need to work on myself. I know God is amazing. I want you to know God is amazing. If you already know God is amazing, keep your heart fixed on him. Keep seeking him. The day we become complacent, is the day we fail. Our salvation is a never-ending process. The closer we draw to God, the closer God will draw to us. We will truly know who God is and what God can do...Be Blessed...

Seek the Lord and You Shall Find...

My encouragement for you this week is to keep seeking the Lord amidst the chaos of our lives. The comfort & help God can provide WILL impact our lives in a powerful way. God is always paying attention. Give God your attention and he will give you more than what you can EVER ask for.

In the midst of our chaos, we say, " I don't know where to turn." Turn your face to the same place it should be even when things are not so peachy. Turn your face and your heart to God. It is easy to praise God while we're on the mountain top but always seems to hard to find God when everything isn't so clear. God is the same place he was when you got into your problems. He is there. He is our refuge when we need to be hidden for a little while against more things which tear us down. He is our strength when we need to confront our troubles. Do you know the God you serve. God is enduringly strong. God is imperially powerful. God is impartially merciful. God supplies strength to the weak. There is nothing that the Lord cannot do for you. Seek the Lord with everything that you have. God will never leave you where you don't want to be without taking care of you. You don;t need to keep looking in the wrong places for all of your help. Our God is an awesome God. He is all that we need ....Be Blessed..

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...
