God's Love

John 3:16 (NIV) says that "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life".   Think about this for a moment - how much love God had, has and have for me and you, that he sent his only son to the world to die a physical death so we can have the opportunity to not die a physical death and have eternal life in heaven.  Think about how Jesus was obedient to God that he willingly gave his life for us.  The love of God is more that we can imagine or think.  But his love is ever so real.  God's love for us moves him to bless us; to provide for us; to heal us; to take care of us; to keep us; to have mercy on us and the list goes on.  When you think about his love and all that it encompasses, it brings you to tears.  A loving God who seeks the earth daily searching for someone to bless; someone who will receive by faith his promises.  Do you have a need today?  Do you need to hear from God today?  Let's us stand together in Jesus' name and receive by faith the love of God.

Thank you Lord for your never ending love.  Thank you Lord God for loving me and taking care of my every need.  I Love you.  Amen

Faith Will

Faith is our confidence in the Word of God.  Faith is believing and knowing without a doubt that God's word will work.  Faith is seeing in the Word of God what we are believing God for. (Mark 11:24-25) Therefore, FAITH will open up doors that cannot be open and close doors that cannot be closed.  FAITH will make a way out of no way.  FAITH will heal your body. Faith will see you through.  Faith will provide for you.  Faith will see you through. Faith will guide and deliver you.  Faith will comfort, protect and help you.  Faith will allow you to see the glory of God.  Faith will take you places that you never imagine.  Faith will bless you over and over.  Faith will work wonders in your life.  Faith will allow you see and be a miracle, a living walking testimony of the awesome power of God.  Faith will birth in the physical what you are desiring in the prayer.  Faith will allow God to work and do wonders on your behalf.  Faith will bring tears of joy.  Faith will move you to action (study Hebrews Chapter 11). Faith will always be the key to abundant life and the promises of God and without it is impossible to please God.

Faith Is

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith is believing in the Word of God; believing that you will see in the physical what you believe in your spirit.  Faith is having confidence that God's Word will come to past. Faith is knowing without a doubt that God's Word will work.  Faith is now. Faith is having the patience to wait on what you are believing God for.  Faith is not being moved by what you do not, yet, see in the physical.  Faith is knowing that there will be a physical manifestation.  Faith is having the staying power to remain focus on the results of your faith.  Faith is pleasing God.  Faith is totally relying of God for all things.  Faith is asking God in Jesus' name.  Faith is receiving from God.  Faith is embracing the Word of God and His promises no matter what.  Faith is not wondering how, but knowing that it will be. Faith is not talking, behaving or doing anything contrary to your faith.  Faith is releasing praise for your desires being answered.  Faith is standing firm on the Word of God and the promises He has made to you.

In Jeremiah 23:27, God said, "I am the Lord, the God of all mankind.  Is anything too hard for me?"  Faith is saying, "No Lord, there is nothing to hard for you, by faith I receive."

When Trouble Comes Knocking at Your Door

Saying we trust God is as easy as saying thank you.  But have you ever had to really trust Him?  Let's say that you are about to lose your home, lose your job, or facing a serious illness. With these types of scenarios staring you in the face, how do you trust God?  How can you really trust God when you are hurt, in pain, confused, have no direction,  or just a total mess?  The purpose of this blog is to help you learn how to trust God when trouble comes knocking at your door.

First, I am under the assumption that you are a born again. (if not, go to John 3:16 and get in God's family).  Being apart of God's family gives us all of the promises in the Bible.   However, the key is to know what is promised. You must spend time in God's Word, listen to faith preachers, tapes and read books.  Time is of essence, so the more God's Word that you can get into your spirit, the better.  You have to redeem the time lost (word time).  After all, you are being attacked, so this is a must.  SPEND TIME IN GOD'S WORD!  Do this with haste, fervency, and expectation. 

Second, you must begin to say with your mouth what you have read or learned in the Word of God.  For example, if you are going through a physical challenge or sick, then you need to say out loud that according to Isaiah 53:5 , "By his stripes I am healed".  The wounds of Jesus endured on the cross provide healing for you and you must believe this.   If your need is financial in nature, study Proverbs Chapter 3.  In this chapter,  you will learn about prosperity, health, long life, favor with God and the benefits of tithing.- which are all promises of God.  But to have these promises, you will have to keep His commands, bind faithfulness and love around your neck, seek God's wisdom and understanding by spending time in the word.  Your desire to blessed by God will be determined  by your obedience to his Word and keeping his commands.

When trouble comes knocking at your door, you have a part in how to handle the trouble. Your part is to go the Word of God and locate in His Word that provides instruction, directions, and guidance on how to handle the trouble. Once you've identified God's Word that relates to your situation, put you faith into action by declaring his Word day and night, and praise God for answered pray. Do this until you see the results of your faith declarations. Stand firm each day.  Thank God for answered prayers and whatever you do, do not speak against your declarations of faith as it knocks out trouble in your life.  Continue to do this no matter what.

Be blessed in all that you do.

Faith Is and So Is Patience

Heb 6:12 (NIV) "We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those through faith and patience inherit what was promised."

I hope this scripture blesses you like never before.  We are admonished to imitate those in scripture, or maybe some people we know, in their faith and patience walk.  When you are standing on the promises of God, don't be moved by what you don't see, hear or feel.  Your stance should be firmed because of the promises of God. By patiently standing and believing, you will see, hear and feel the results of his Word.  We are to have great confidence in the word of God.  We are to keep our ears, eyes and heart steadfast on what God has promised us.  This act of steadfastness will deliver.  Scripture tells us that if we ask, we shall receive; if we seek, we shall find; and if we knock, the doors shall be open.  Faith is now and so is patience.  Patience is standing on the word of God until we see the evidence of our faith revealed. 

Be blessed today in all that you do.

Trust In God


What does Trust in God mean?  How do you Trust in God?  How can you tell if you really Trust in God?

Trusting in God begins with the words that you say; the thoughts that you meditate on; and what you hear on a regular basis.  Trusting in God requires you to know what God has said (in the Bible) on whatever you are trusting in him for.  It requires you to spend time in his words searching for his truth.  It requires for you to write those words on your heart (spirit) and for you to think about them all the time. Meditate on them day and night, during your lunch hour, when you are working, when you are exercising, and when you prepare to sleep.  Your mind must be overcome with the word of God.  When you do this with tenacity you will begin to know in your spirit that all is well.  You will not have doubt or disbelief.  When someone ask you about your circumstance, you will respond with an affirmation of what God has said about your circumstance.  You will have such a confidence that cannot be moved, a confidence knowing that your Trust in God has delivered you.  Be Blessed.
