Great God deserve Great Thanks...

My encouragement to you this week is at every moment say thank you to God! There is NO ONE greater than the God we serve. There is no greater FRIEND, no greater PEACE, no greater DELIVERER, no greater PROVIDER than thee Almighty God!!! Say thank you!!

How grateful are we to the Lord? How often are we saying thank you to God for all that he's done for us. Our God has been nothing short of amazing at all times even when you think that he has not answered your request yet. People say, " Lord make this happen for me. I don't know how I can go on." Well you've been praying this same prayer for two weeks. Has the Lord not provided for you in that span of time. Though God has not answered the prayer at that moment, do we stop to realize what God is doing around us in that span of time until our prayer is answered? God is going to fulfill his promises to you. i wish we could know when but that is the best part of not knowing. Unrelenting faith will show up or fickle faith will show up. I pray that it is an unrelenting faith. God in your hard times is sending great people around you, he is providing for you to keep hope going, and he is doing things to give you some peace of mind even when the madness is all around us. Ps. 29:11 The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. He will strengthen you to be amazing! He will provide for you to overcome the obstacles that have been placed in front of you. God works hard for us. God will never stop working for us. We have to rely on him. Rely on him for everything!!! Acknowledge God in all YOUR ways. He will make your path straight!! Thank God for what he has done for us and know that he will continue to do more for us. Thank God for who he has been to you! You may still be waiting for deliverance but God STILL deserves praise today! Be Blessed...

God is Great and So are You!!!

My encouragement to you is to be AMAZING! You want the best for your life and GOD wants the best for your life. Cast your cares on God. Drive relentlessly to your dreams. Let God use you, lead you, and help you in every way. Stand with God. You won't be defeated.

You have the ability to be amazing. You are already amazing even when you are feeling low about yourself, your life, and what may be going on with your life. Don't count yourself out. You are an amazing person! Yes you are! You can maximize that potential. Make a decision and let God lead the way. Let God take the wheel and take you where you want to go in your life. You work hard at whatever hurdle you are trying to leap but let God help you, use you, and direct you in that direction. God is amazing. God is a force that cannot be ignored. He has LIMITLESS potential to turn things around in all of our lives. God will use the potential that we have an grow it into something that we couldn't even imagine. Look at the lives of those who were buried in sin that YOU KNOW and have made tremendous changes to become so great. That is no accident. That is the power of God. God took something in them and used it to be great. They made the decision to give it all up to God. You have much potential! You have talents! You have something special in you that God wants to use right now! Give it to the Lord. While the Lord is working hard, you work hard too! You drive and drive until the journey is done. Don't stop. Press and press to that dream of yours. You are great enough to do it and if you let God lead the way, you will not be denied!! He may take you a way that you didn't see but it's the path that you were meant to walk. You will no be defeated!! You may stumble but you'll make it happen!! Be Blessed..

My encouragement to you is to be AMAZING! You want the best for your life and GOD wants the best for your life. Cast your cares on God. Drive relentlessly to your dreams. Let God use you, lead you, and help you in every way. You won't be defeated!

God wants you happy..God wants your Success

My encouragement to you this week is for you to KNOW God wants you to be GREAT and HAPPY. God wants us to be victors, not victims; to soar, not sink; to overcome, not to be overwhelmed.

Do you earnestly believe that God has something great for you? Do your earnestly believe that God wants you to live a full life? Do you earnestly believe that God is vested in your happiness? God is vested in all of these thing s for you. Does that mean our lives from this point on will be happy go lucky? Absolutely not. I can guarantee you that much. But that doesn't mean God doesn't want you to live in an abundance of joy and peace. God knows problems will come but he also knows that He will be with us every step of the way during those problems. He doesn't want us to become the victims of our struggles. That is the last thing God wants for us. God wants us to overcome our struggles. God is vested in our happiness and God is vested in our success. But you have to make a CLEAR decision to GIVE GOD A TRY. After you have taken the leap of faith, act like you have. I hear so many people saying they believe in what God can do, but your actions aren't lining up nearly to their words. I understand to that the gravity of your circumstances can be very hard. I truly know not everyday we will wear a smile on our faces but can it be like that all the time? NO!! If you're giving God a try, give God a try. A friend told me, " when we need a loan from a friend, we already count it in our finances before we even ask the friend." Why are we treating God any different? God doesn't lie. Your friend does. God is 100% dependable. Your friend may be 60%. Trust in God to take us into the tunnel of darkness and lead us into the light. God wants a lot for us in the BEST of ways. In Psalms 35:27 God states he takes pleasure in the PROSPERITY of his servant. God is always there trying to supply our every need and even some of our wants. God is that great!! He wants us to shout at the top of our lungs , " YOUR LOVE AND YOUR MERCY ENDURES FOREVER." God wants us at the top of positions. God doesn't just settle for second rate when he blesses us. He gives us full blessings as he sees fit. Hold on to God. Give him a try and stick with God no matter if the storm gets worse. God will take you to a paradise of peace...Be Blessed..

God is...whatever you NEED him to be...

My encouragement to you this week is to give no ground to be defeated by our hurts and circumstances. God is OUR comfort, grace, healer, provider, refuge, faithful father, and Savior. He will be all of these things to you until there is victory is His name!

We hit hard times in life. We get so ready to pack it up at times and just let our problems win us over. We just are so ready to quit. As long as we serve God we cannot give room to be defeated. God is our everything. What role God will God not take on when we are in dire need of his power? God is powerful. God is amazing. God will be our healer when it is illness that overcomes us. God will be our comfort when we are hurt by others. God will be our provider when we don't have enough. God will take on roles just for us. Type in God is in Google and you will see all the role God presents himself or is presented as. Job 36, God is mighty. Psalm 46, God is our refuge and strength. Psalm 23, God is our shepherd. But he is all those things to people who call him out of love. So what role cannot he NOT take on for you? None. He will take on as many roles as possible for you. Give no ground to be defeated by anything that is causing you any pain at this moment. Don't let your past bring you to a state of a defeated mentality. There may be some problems that may linger with you for a while. They may be here for a while but you WILL endure as it is happening as you have in the past. When you give way to defeat, you give way to loss of faith. And it's OK to feel like you're ready to quit because life can BE HARD. BUT never give in. Never give up. God id no quitter. He who began a great work in you will carry it out until completion. You do your part and give no ground to be defeated. You do the best YOU can, and God will do the BEST period. Be blessed....

The Amazing Grace of God

My encouragement for you this week is to remind you there is nothing on this Earth superior to the Grace of God. God is full of love and compassion. Call on him in FAITH and ASSURANCE that he can save you from whatever hurts you.

There is nothing that can surpass the grace of God. The grace of God is so beautiful and so wonderful. It can move mountains. The grace of God can bring so much comfort to our lives. The grace of God can make us feel ways that we have never felt before in our whole lifetime. There is so much joy to be found in that grace. The grace of God is simply God's unmerited favor - His goodness toward those who have no claim on, nor reason to expect, divine favor. We all want God's favor but truly do we all deserve the favor of the Lord? Many of us don't qualify but we still believe that God will take care of us. We know that God ha bestowed his unending love before in our lives. There is nothing that we have done for this grace as expressed in Ephesians: "...by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” A requirement for all of us who call ourselves servants of the master is that we have faith. Faith is built and constructed; it grows and enlarges. Faith starts in the mind. Faith is then manifested in our actions. I know your problems are great and can feel daunting but I said this before: No circumstance should change your praise or faith in the Lord. If God has brought you through the storm before, should we doubt the fact that he can do it again? Rest assured God is going to do some miraculous things. God is going to do something profound to bring you out of the depths of misery. God will heal you 100% but persevere with God 100%. Everyday will not be a great day and that is perfectly okay. I am learning this. But as we continue to press on, we can't allow our faith to waver in confusion and disbelief. Things may get bad before they get better but remember who God is. Rest assured in the power he holds. The victory is yours and the glory is the Lord's....Be Blessed...

Place TOTAL hope where it belongs..in GOD!!

My encouragement to you this week is simple: Place TOTAL HOPE in God no matter what it costs you. You WILL fall, God WILL lift you. You WILL cry, God WILL comfort. You WILL lose a little of something BUT God WILL WIN so much more on your behalf just because he knows what it means to you!

This is going to sound crazy, far-fetched, and unrealistic to some of you but I am TELLING & BEGGING you to put TOTAL faith in God no matter what you may have to lose. I know that is not what we may want to hear but that is a big encouragement to you and to myself. It is a task to put faith in something knowing we may have to lose something. But when it comes to God, don't you think that he would have something that much better for you? God will handle the problem accordingly but all to the benefit of you and the GLORY of his name. He will do it to serve as a reminder that he is awesome and he is trustworthy. You may stumble, God will hold you up. You may cry, God is a God of comfort. David even says it in the Psalms, " My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life." (Ps. 119: 50) God wants us to come to him and lay ALL of our burdens on God. He is a God of comfort. As any loving parent, they hate to see their child in pain and will move a mountain just to see them at peace. God is no different. God is faithful to us in a way even our parents aren't. God has mean to move those mountains that your parents don't possess. God has no limits and God has no limits on what he can do for our lives. Place TOTAL hope in the Lord, TOTAL hope. God can make things turn around in our lives. He wants us to live in peace. he wants us to be able to sing to his name with a joy in our heart. He wants us to have a testimony to tell others about the goodness of our Father in heaven. The one who calls you is faithful!!! God is faithful. You may have to wait some time for the breakthrough BUT that doesn't mean you don't have a breakthrough ahead!! Because what God will do for you is always worth the wait!! Faithfulness is one of the glorious perfections of His being. He is as if He was clothed with it..that's what God is. Hope in Him and do your best not to wander off the path God is placing you on! Stay consistent! Live in hope!! As we hope, we will find gifts that God is waiting for us to claim: patience, resilience, peace, and true love!...Be Blessed...

Do For God As You Ask From God...

My encouragement to you this week is to keep in mind as we make requests of God, make sure we are seeking and living God's way. His ways are Good. God is Good.

Lord you are mighty. Lord you are good. Lord you are the one who is full of awesome grace. You are the one who is full of abundant mercy. You are full of all of the things that I need to live a life of happiness and in peace. Will I be afflicted? Yes. Will I cry? Yes. But I will do all of those things with you. I will do all of these things with you. You will turn my affliction into goodness. You will turn my tears into laughs. I will call your name because I know you can do so much to enhance my life. But...as much as I call for you, am I living for you? Am I living in your ways. As merciful as you are to all of us in this world, we must know it is a necessity for us to live for you. Living for God is not a part time thing. Living fr God takes commitment and consistency. It takes both of these things. Living for God doesn't mean walking away from him when things are looking tough. Living for God is a full time job!! As you live for God, which is no easy or small feat, make requests of him to help yo along the way. God wants you to be happy just like he lives in happiness. God wants peace in your life so you can focus on what he has done for you AND praise his name for what he has done to keep your peace...Be Blessed..

One Mind, One Heart

My encouragement to you this week is to open your hearts to the love God has to give. Open your mind to the wisdom you need from the Lord. And lastly, to share those blessings with others so that we may all live in the unity of Christ.

Speak to my heart Lord. Speak to my heart so that I may find courage. Speak to my heart to save me from despair. Speak to my heart that I may be filled with joy. Lord we need you. Every minute, every hour. We need to open our hearts to the good things God offers to keep us going forward daily. We need to keep our minds fresh to get the wisdom of God to know which way to go when facing crisis or just to build a better life for ourselves. We all want to make sound decisions. Do what's right. I understand. We need the voice of God to do that. We need to open our minds. When we receive these gifts from God, share them with others. Tell them about the wonders of the Lord and what the Lord can do for anyone who puts their trust in him. Then we can all live in so much unity praising the name of the Lord and extending his ministry to the ends of the earth. Let the Glory of the Lord rise among us. Let's run our race together. It is such a blessing to see an assembly glorifying the name of the Lord. Keep praying God work in your hearts and minds to build you up into a beautiful creature. Pray that you can be a true blessing to another. May the name of the Lord reign forever....Be Blessed...
