We Are Never Alone

“Don’t focus on how strong the enemy is; focus on how strong God is inside of us.”

4Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

1 John 4:4

37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:37-39

[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].

                                                                                                                               Colossians 2:15 (Amplified Bible)

Consistently Insistent

“Be more persistent than the devil.”

 

1And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 2Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

Luke 18:1-5

In conclusion be strong—not in yourselves but in the Lord, in the power of his boundless resource. Put on God’s complete armour so that you can successfully resist all the devil’s methods of attack. For our fight is not against any physical enemy: it is against organisations and powers that are spiritual. We are up against the unseen power that controls this dark world, and spiritual agents from the very headquarters of evil. Therefore you must wear the whole armour of God that you may be able to resist evil in its day of power, and that even when you have fought to a standstill you may still stand your ground. Take your stand then with truth as your belt, righteousness your breastplate, the Gospel of peace firmly on your feet, salvation as your helmet and in your hand the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. Above all be sure you take faith as your shield, for it can quench every burning missile the enemy hurls at you. Pray at all times with every kind of spiritual prayer, keeping alert and persistent as you pray for all Christ’s men and women.

                                                                                                                        Ephesians 6:13 (Phillips Translation)

I will not quit. I will not allow the enemy to gain ground or defeat me. I will persist until I win.

God’s Word and Good Success

“The Word works when we work the Word.”

8This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

 Joshua 1:8  

Don’t get off track, either left or right, so as to make sure you get to where you’re going. And don’t for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you’ll get where you’re going; then you’ll succeed. Haven’t I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take.”

                                                                                                                               Joshua 1:8 (Message Translation)

Joshua 1 takes place after the death of Moses. God was speaking to Joshua (Moses’ assistant) and encouraging him to finish what Moses had started and lead the children of Israel out of the wilderness. God encouraged Joshua that the way to victory was to keep his eyes on the scripture. We must do the same. Meditating on the Word of God will keep your spirit strong and you mind renewed to the will of God for your life.

I have decided to study God’s Word and put it into my life. Today I will work the Word.

What is Love?

For many centuries people have celebrated Valentine’s Day all over the world. Historians believe that it was started as a Roman festival in which couples would often celebrate their love and get married. Later the church wanted to turn the festival into a Christian celebration and decided to remember St. Valentine at the same time.

While the exact origins of St. Valentine is still somewhat of a question – many believe that he was a man who, despite being imprisoned, refused to renounce his Christian faith. He pleaded before the judge for the lives of those Christians imprisoned with him. Often he was able to save those lives. Eventually, his dedication to his faith in Jesus led to him being executed. He showed his love for others and for Jesus even unto death.

Whatever the origins of Valentine’s Day we can always celebrate love. It was for love that God sent Jesus to redeem us from sin and death. Jesus demonstrated the love of the Father so many times as he healed the sick, raised the dead and gave sight to the blind. Today we can show love to those around us both in word and deed.

In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 in the Passion Translation we read:

4 Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance. 5 Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense.6 Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong.7 Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up.

God loved us so much that He gave His son. Jesus loved us so much that He gave His life. There are many scriptures that speak of love and how it acts. We don’t just love when things are going great. In these turbulent times it is so important to walk in love. God has given the power to do just that through the Holy Ghost.

Romans 5:5 says, “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.“

How can you demonstrate love to those around you today?

Happy New Year!

Today is the day that we mark the beginning of a new year. It is an opportunity to choose a new outlook and attitude. No matter what last year was like, we have a chance to invite God to be in charge of the new year we are embarking on. When we do, He empowers us to conquer in all situations.

Romans 8:37-39 says, “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

We can rest assured that God is with us, empowering us! But everyday we have to make a choice to rejoice! Nehemiah 8:10 says, “Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” When you need strength, choose joy!

I encourage you to keep pressing into God this year. Keep pressing in for personal and national revival. We need revival and restoration today more than ever. In times past when people began to see the world grow darker and go deeper into sin they began to pray and seek God. As we do that in this new year, we can believe that change is on the horizon. God does not ignore His kids! Nothing can separate us from the love of God. But unbelief can hinder our prayers and God’s answer to our prayers. Stay in faith this year! When you are tempted to doubt, remember that Jesus said in Mark 9:23…all things are possible to him that believeth.

I am praying that God will show Himself strong to you in this upcoming year! May God’s best be yours today and every day!

Attitude is a Decision

“To have a good attitude is my decision.”

 

2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. 3I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. 4A froward heart shall depart from me:

Psalm 101:2-4a  

Victory Decision

 

I cannot control what others do or say, but I can control my response to all situations. Therefore, like David, I make a conscious decision to have a good attitude.
