Saturday Praise -“Don’t Worry, Be Happy”

Check your foundation, make sure your are standing on the Word of God.

No matter what you are facing, or what you are currently going through in your life. There is a word from God to sustain and strengthen you. Hide it in your heart, speak it out of your mouth. Don’t allow any person, place or thing steal or diminish the truth and power of the word of God in your life.

You must guard it. Keep your own secrets from people, tell God instead, and watch him move on your behalf. 

Many times we tell people our dreams and vision and allow their doubt, and lack of faith steal from us the things that God has promised. We need to learn, as the scriptures said “study to be quiet, and mind your own business” (1 Thessalonians 4:11).

Just because other people refuse to exercise their faith and believe God for what they consider to be the impossible, does not mean you should do the same. Be bold, be strong, for God is with you. God would not have put it in your spirit if it was not his intention to perform it for you.

Go forth and conquer, accomplish, and succeed. Be that living epistle (2 Corinthians 3:3), let the move of God in your life be a witness and encouragement to everyone else. Let the world see the power of God in action through your life.

God Is Faithfully In Control

My Testimony…

Jeremiah 1:12
“Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.“

Just the other day the Lord challenged me to change my perspective.  How I chose to view things that occur in my life is totally up to me.

Unexpectedly, I was given the opportunity to put this into practice.

God is so good. He has also been showing me little steps to improve the way I do things, and make better choices. What I did not recognize at the time was that God was preparing me. These little steps were catalysts in disguise designed to make me change the way I operate.

I now find myself in a position poised for success. When just a few months ago I would have been in a tizzy, wondering what I was going to do.

Now I am encouraged to continue to trust God, and walk in obedience.

What is Your Perspective?

It’s All About Perspective.


Ephesians 3:1 “For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,”
One definition of Prisoner is: a person who is or feels confined or trapped by a situation or set of circumstances.
Other definitions are: a person legally held in prison as a punishment for crimes they have committed or while awaiting trial.
Or a person captured and kept confined by an enemy, opponent, or criminal.

It is 100% your choice to view every situation as a positive or negative. However, your choice will cause you to either speak life or death out of your mouth. Your world is created by the words you speak, and it all starts or proceeds out of your heart (mind). 
If your perspective is negative, you will speak negatively and create situations destined for defeat. If your perspective is positive, you will speak positively and create situations which breed success.
Look at Paul, he acknowledged that he was a prisoner of Jesus. Bound to do his will, and will to suffer whatever was necessary for the benefit of the people he was called to minister to. Paul chose to think positively about being a prisoner of Jesus. He was confined, constrained to do the will of God. But Paul understood, it was not a negative situation because Jesus said my yoke is easy and my burden is light, and ye shall find rest unto your soul (Matthew 11:28-30).
When most of hear the word Prisoner, we can think of no positive connotation. But here Paul challenged us to change the way we think. In Romans 8:28 , we see that ALL things work together for our good. All includes both the bad and good, both the happy and sad, or the for better or worse times. 
We must understand bad, sad, and worse times do occur in our lives from time to time. Change your perspective, and speak life. Create the situation for success. Stop speaking death (defeat and failure).
It’s all up to you. As they say, it’s your world, choose how you wish to live. Be blessed my friends.

But God, But Now


Ephesians 2:4, 5, 13

4. “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 

5. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;). 

13. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.”

When I think of the times before I came to know God. Or even the times after, when I have sinned against him, I wonder “how?” Considering all the wrong I have done, how can he still love me, how can he still forgive me, how can he still desire to use me for his glory, how can he still trust me to do his will. The “how” list is endles. The answer is simple…But God, who is… He is rich in mercy, he knows my thoughts a far off (Psalms 139:2). His word is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrew 4:12). God knew me even when I did know him. He knows my faults, issues, failures, lustful desires, etc. In spite of them all, he still loves me, and wants the best for me (Jeremiah 29:11).

Through the marvelous, wonderful work of Calvary’s cross, Jesus made a way. Because of this….But Now, God has made it possible of us to be forgiven and brought into right standing with him. Because of his goodness we can be used to bring glory to his name.

I thank God that it is never too late. As long as there is still breath in the body, God is still able to breathe life into dead or death situations. He has done it for me multiples, he can do it for anyone who will believe him to do so. We don’t use his grace as a get-out-of-jail-free card. We don’t plan to fall. But if or when we do, God is there to forgive. Our goal is to live a life that is pleasing in his eyes.

Be encouraged. Do not let your past determine your future. Remember God has a plan for your life. Seek him to uncover it.

Power Is In Your Mouth

Use it to speak the Word…

Definitions: Salvation – preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss.
                      Save – keep safe or rescue (someone or something) from harm or danger.

Romans 10: 8-11
“8. But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
11. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
12. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”

The words of life is in your mouth. What you speak is what you create in your world.
If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus (or the word of God. See St. John chapter 1). Believe in your heart, the power of the word (the power of the cross), thou shall be rescued from harm, danger, ruin, or loss.
Whatever is in your heart, will come out of your mouth. When faith comes out your mouth, your world is created.
We have confidence in our savior, and know we have the petitions we desired.

It truly is your world (life). Speak life, not death over it. Speak success, speak love, speak patience, speak abundance. What you say matters, because it portrays what is in your heart. Ultimately, you will have what you say.

Blessings to you.
