#ScriptureReflection - Psalm 43 (4.13.21)

Prayer to God in Time of Trouble

43 Vindicate me, O God,
And plead my cause against an ungodly nation;
Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!

²For You are the God of my strength;
Why do You cast me off?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

³Oh, send out Your Light and Your Truth!
Let them lead me;
Let them bring me to Your Holy Hill
And to Your Tabernacle.

⁴Then I will go to the Altar of God,
To God my exceeding joy;
And on the harp I will praise You,
O God, my God.

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.

Without Faith, it is Impossible to Please God (4.12.21)

Faith Believers,
We sing songs about our GOD being an AWESOME GOD. We praise Him for His Glory and His Power. We talk about the miraculous things He has done and praise Him for His Great Love.

However, today I ask you, Do you really believe GOD is bigger than your problems? Do you believe right now, that GOD can deliver you from your difficult, seemingly hopeless situation? Do you believe that GOD is with you, in the midst of what you are going through? Do you believe Him when He says, “I Will never leave you, nor forsake you?"

It is one thing to talk about an All-Powerful GOD, but it's another thing to truly believe that He is right there with you and available for you today. Do you believe GOD is bigger than your problems? OH YES, HE IS!!!

GOD is fully capable of meeting, and exceeding every impossible situation, or circumstance that we face. Doing the impossible is GOD's specialty. We serve a GOD who looks at the impossible and says, “I Am Possible.”

However, there is a problem that hinders us from seeing that with the Lord, all things are possible; it’s called unbelief. GOD said without faith it is impossible to please Him. So, today is our chance to please GOD. Yes, it’s our time to show the Lord how much we love Him by believing in His Word.

Take time today to focus your attention on GOD, not your problems.

Right where you are, you can tell Him you love Him, and that it’s your deepest desire to 'trust Him.'

Think for a moment of His greatness and remember a situation where GOD did the impossible in your life and GIVE GOD THE PRAISE! When you focus on His greatness and His love, and not your problem, GOD can and will do the impossible in your life.

#ScriptureReflection - Jeremiah 31:31-34 (4.11.21)

The New Covenant. ³¹See, days are coming—oracle of the Lord—when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. ³²It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors the day I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. They broke my covenant, though I was their master—oracle of the Lord. ³³But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days—oracle of the Lord. I will place my law within them, and write it upon their hearts; I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ³⁴They will no longer teach their friends and relatives, “Know the Lord!” Everyone, from least to greatest, shall know me—oracle of the Lord—for I will forgive their iniquity and no longer remember their sin.

God Created You to Do Good Works. Count It All - Every Battle, Frustration, Situation & Trial - Count It All JOY! (4.10.21)

My Precious Children,
I See that some of you have become frustrated with the situation(s) you’ve been battling for a while.

Think it not strange that this is happening to you. Do not allow your frustrations to turn into fear. Remember, I Said you would have trials, but to be of good cheer. Therefore, do not allow the circumstances to overwhelm you. Never forget who you are in Me. Stumbling blocks might slow you down, but they cannot stop your blessings.

I Know, that for some of you, right now, it does not feel like it; but you are winning the battle. So, do not dwell on any "perceived" negative circumstances. Oh, I Know Child, that it is not always easy to do; but learn to count it all joy.

STAND!! Knowing who you are, in Me. Rise above what you are feeling, and bring every thought captive into obedience to My Word.

You are My Workmanship, My Clay, My Child, My Creation - and I Created you to do good works.

Therefore, do not allow anything to rob you of your Promises. Instead, offer Me a sacrifice of praise; and turn what seems to be a stumbling block, into a stepping stone to your Victory.

Count it all joy.

And start praising Me for the blessings being birthed from this situation.

Count it all joy - that you were chosen to bring Glory to My Name.

Yes, count it all joy.
And know, that in Me,
you have the Victory.

Read and Meditate on God's Word

2 Corinthians 10:5 - Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of GOD, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

James 1:2-3 - My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

#ScriptureReflection - Galatians 6:1-10 (4.9.21)

Doing Good to All

6 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. ²Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. ³If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. ⁴Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, ⁵for each one should carry their own load. ⁶Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.

⁷Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. ⁸Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. ⁹Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. ¹⁰Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Calm the Storms with God's Peace (4.8.21)

I speak peace to you, My Child.

Peace.

Soon you will see your storms submit to My Calm, and the whirlwind of your anxious thoughts and emotions will cease. Stand My Child. Stand firm, with your feet planted firmly in My Gospel of Peace.

Tighten My "Belt of Truth" that is buckled around your waist. Put on My "Breastplate of Righteousness." Lift up My/Your "Shield of faith," and let not the circumstances of your day steal your peace. Now is the time to exercise your Authority, in Me. Use My Word, which is hidden in your heart; as a defense against the attacks of the enemy.

Stand firm in My Peace.

Let My Peace, become your Peace. Reach out for it, it is there, take it and never let go. Receive My Peace, by faith; and use it to walk through every trial that comes your way. Use My Peace to rebuke any thoughts the enemy tries to plant in your mind. Let your ways be pleasing in My Sight, and I Will even cause your enemies to be at peace with you.

Meditate upon My Word, and be obedient to the things My Word says to think about.

My Child, it is not My Desire for anxious thoughts nor worry to overtake you. I Want you to bring your every thought, your every concern, to Me in prayer.

For I Will hear.

And I Will answer.

Now Stand firm.

Trust in Me.

And know that I Will give you My Peace to calm the storm.

I Speak Peace to you.

My Peace to you.

Peace.

On Your Knees.... (4.7.21)

My Precious Child,

the enemy sought to dishearten you, and bring you to your knees. However, what he didn’t realize is that he pushed you right where I Wanted you to be. his attempts to destroy you have brought you closer to Me. his desire is to see you mourn and grieve over all the things that have happened. Yet his attempts to harm and destroy you have backfired on him; and caused you to seek My Face and spend time with Me, like never before.

Yes, you are on your knees.
You are in the right place for deliverance.
You are in the right place for a breakthrough.
So, stay right there - on your knees.

Stay before Me and empty yourself of everything
that weighs heavy on your heart.

Stay on your knees until you receive your breakthrough.

Do not allow the enemy to cause you to faint about what you are going through. Stay right there on your knees, and strengthen yourself in Me. Faint not about this trial, which has brought you closer Me; but count it all joy, because you are right where I Need you to be.

You are in My Presence.

Rejoice, I say rejoice, at what the enemy has done. Rejoice!!

he never expected this trial to bless you.
he never thought you would survive.

However, when he pushed you that last time, he drove you right into My Presence and onto your knees; and this is where I Want you to be.

Rejoice, My Child, because on your knees
is where the battle will be won.

So, stay right there My Child.
Stay right there, on your knees, and talk to Me.
Tell me all that is going on and I Will fix it.

On your knees is where you will be blessed.
And set free from all that troubles you.

Now Is The Time...... (4.6.21)

Faith Believers,
There is a time to be still. There is a time to be silent. There is a time to be patient and wait on the Lord... But now this is the time to fight. Now is the time to go in and possess that which GOD has promised you. It is time to RISE UP!

Rise up and decree an end to your drought, both naturally and spiritually; and I Will open the Windows of Heaven and pour out from My Storehouses, Blessings that you could have never imagined.

Rise up, in your inner man, and know that I Am with you, wherever you go, and that I Am greater than any attack the enemy will try to launch against you. However, you must be humble and not respond with defensive pride. Yield to My Power and My Holy Spirit in every situation, because I Have power over every trial you will face.

It is time to RISE UP!

#ScriptureReflection - Matthew 28:1-20 (4.5.21)

Jesus Is Risen!

28 Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the tomb. ²And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it. ³And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. ⁴The guards shook from fear of him and became like dead men.

⁵And the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. ⁶He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. ⁷And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you to Galilee. There you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”

⁸And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to report to His disciples. ⁹And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Rejoice!” And they came up and took hold of His feet, and worshiped Him. ¹⁰Then Jesus *said to them, “Do not be afraid; go, bring word to My brothers to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

¹¹Now while they were on their way, some of the men from the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened. ¹²And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, ¹³and said, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him while we were asleep.’ ¹⁴And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will appease him and keep you out of trouble.” ¹⁵And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely spread among the Jews and is to this day.

The Great Commission

¹⁶But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated to them. ¹⁷And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. ¹⁸And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. ¹⁹Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, ²⁰teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
