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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Romans 8:37-39 says, “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors<\/strong> through him that loved us. <\/sup>For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, <\/sup>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.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can rest assured that God is with us, empowering us! But everyday we have to make a choice to rejoice! Nehemiah 8:10<\/a> 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.<\/strong>” When you need strength, choose joy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
