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...

All of my help...Comes from the Lord

Good morning folks. My encouragement to you is NEVER forget God is your refuge and your strength. He will be there in your time of trouble. God is faithful to you. He will honor your faith. Whatever it is that troubles you, stand firm and do the best you can. Then let God do the rest.

Saints, the message is clear. I hope that you are receiving to it. It is very difficult for a lot of us to be patient in the most trying of times. It is very hard for us to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It is very hard for us to see God in our times with trouble. It is very hard for us to stand with God in our times of trouble. My friends, I reassure you that God is standing with you. We tend to ask the question, " Can it get any worse?" Oh yes it can. Be blessed that it hasn't. God is a true and faithful God to you. I will continue this message forever. God has never given up on you. We must remember that God is our "refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble." (Psalm 9:9) It is always much better to take refuge the Lord's precepts. I understand that some of you may have been waiting a while for you delivery. God will honor your faith. In some ways, he is doing it right now that you are failing to see. We all want the huge breakthrough at an instant but fail to see that God has kept you thus far. In little ways, God has honored your faith but yet you fail to see what he has provided you with along your journey to redemption. Shame on us who do this. I have done it. I am not innocent of this. I am just as guilty. But I try everyday to thank God for his preservation of me thus far. Think about it, when you are praying everyday, there is a reason. You want to be free but without you noticing sometimes, you see that God has kept you so far. Now you want the full delivery. God will honor you. Honor the Lord for who he is. He is your refuge. He is your strength. You have endured so far because of his love and you will persevere further because of his love. Stand firm. Just do your part and let God handle the problem that was never in your hands from the beginning....Be Blessed..

Don't be afraid because you CAN endure and you WILL succeed. God has already made plans for your redemption. Trust God to stand with you through it all.

You will be redeemed. You will be successful. You will be better. Trust me on this. trust God on this. God is the one true God who can do all things to better each and every one of our lives. God is a true keeper of all our souls. He knows what ails us. he knows what is hurting us and God does not want to see his children in pain. in Psalm 130: 7 it says, "Put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is UNFAILING love and with his is full redemption." God's love is truly unfailing. God's love for you will never let you down. do not be afraid to take a stand against your hurts and problems today. Take a stand and be ready to be FREED from these burdens. God wants to free you from these things which bring hurt. Trust in God to get you your freedom.

(Philippians 4:13) Redemption awaits you Saints, just stand firm and invite God in with you every step of the way.

Be Faithful in your prayer....

Be faithful in your prayer. Be faithful to God because he is always faithful to you. Nothing can stop the work of the Lord in your life. Stand firm in this continue to fix your heart according to his will.
Remain faithful in your prayer. When I say prayer, I don't just mean the asking part. I mean the praising his name, asking your heart's desire, interceding for others, asking for forgiveness, etc. Nothing can stop the work of the Lord in your life. The Lord will work on your behalf. When you make two steps forward, don't get hung up on a step back. Remember nothing can stop the Lord. You are still driving forward. Ephesians 6:10 says, " be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power." The Lord is twice as powerful as your problems will ever be. When things are hard, do you realize that though? The Lord is very faithful to you.......remain very faithful to him. Fix your heart to his will people. Stand firm knowing that his faithfulness to you is everlasting. You will never be shamed when you fix your heart to his will. If you don't have a relationship with God to know the fruits of what God has to offer, accept Christ into your heart. Bring him into your life..there will be no regrets....only great things to come in your life...Be Blessed...

Stand Firm and Persevere..God is Near

My encouragement to you this week is to be patient in everything. Don't lose hope. Don't be prone to anger. God is near and he will grant you favor. Stand firm and persevere.

Saints, we all are waiting on something right now. We all are waiting on opportunities ahead, relationships to be repaired, our health to turn around, etc. In that time, let's just be patient and persevere. I am waiting on a few opportunities myself. I have been looking for a new job since July and we are in October. there are times I was really getting frustrated and feeling hopeless. Everything around me said, I will not have a job until next year July. I'm hearing other people's stories of how they have been waiting for a year for new opportunities, horrible economy, mt leads were falling through, etc. Finally I decided, just be patient. god has some god things in store for me. I am doing everything I can except submitting to God's wisdom and plan. The moment I stopped worrying, being angry and giving up, jobs began to call and I have a solid leads. I became more at peace too. I know that we all are waiting on something. Be patient because God is near. God is very near to you. James 5:11 says "Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the (patience) perseverance of JOB and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful." the Lord is very near your situation. He will be with you at all times. Be patient and continue to fight the good fight. Do all the right things you need to do. Fix your heart to the Lord's will and you will know blessings. Pray to your father. You will know true success. You will know true happiness...Be Blessed
