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!

Merry Christmas

Today is the day we celebrate the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ. As you celebrate with friends and family please be sure to include Jesus! After all He is the reason for the season! I pray for God’s blessings to be on you today and every day. Have a very Merry Christmas!

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.

I Believe God

“The first report is not the last report.

 1In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. 2Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,  3 I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. 4And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying, 5Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD. 6And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.

II Kings 20:1-6

35While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? 36As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. 38And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. 39And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. 40And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. 41And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. 42aAnd straightway the damsel arose, and walked;
