God's Plan For You

God said in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  Read this passage of scripture again.  Write it on a post it note and place it on your closet door.  Write it on an index card or a piece of paper and tape it all over your house. Whatever part of your house that you frequent often, place this scripture there so it can get into your spirit and produce the promises of God.

My beloved friends, the words in Jeremiah. 29:11 are powerful and have a lot of "good stuff" in it. First, we see that God has plans for you that only He knows.  His plans for you are mighty and are for you.  God plans are to prosper you, to prosper you in every area of your life; to prosper you in your body (health); to prosper you in your soul (mind); to prosper you in your finance (money); to prosper you in workplace, in relationships, in your family, in your daily activities - and the list goes on.

Secondly, we see that it is not God's plan to harm you.  All harm no matter what type of harm comes from the devil.  Remember, he (the devil) comes to kill, steal and to destroy and Jesus came to give you life abundantly.  Also, there is no need to define harm because we all agree on what harm is. But God said in Jeremiah 29:11 "His plans are not to harm us".  So don't let anyone tell you that God caused harm on your life or family members.  Get the Word of God in your spirit so when untruths about God come your way, you can cast them down with the Word of God.

Finally, we see that it is God's plan to give you hope and a future.  Isn't this awesome?  Our God, God plan is to give us hope and a future.  How do we get hope?  We get hope from the word of God.  How do we know our future?  We know through the word of God.  Let me give you an example.  If you've been diagnosed with a disease, your hope says that "My God is the Lord who heals me" (Exodus 15:26); or if you want a New Testament scripture for healing 1st Peter 2:24 says, "By the stripes of Jesus, I am healed".   In both scriptural texts, healing is the hope and sure and notice both speak in present tense, meaning right now, today!

My beloved friends, through the word of God all of our hope and future are there. God's inspired Words are in a book called the Bible.  God's Word have been preserved for those who love him and for those who will believe and act on his Word.  I encourage you to study the Word of God daily, to mediate on it, to confess it with your mouth and to never ever let it depart from you and then you will have good success and health to your whole body (Joshua 1:8 and Proverbs 4:20-22).

BE BLESSED AND THANKFUL!

While Outside

As I sit in a special corner of my house, I have an amazing view of outside.  Not only is this my sit corner, but it also serves as my write...
