John 14:1

Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.

The devil is trying so hard to discourage the people of God.  If we start to worry and concentrate on the circumstances, we will stop praying and believing in the word.  We have to guard our hearts and focus on what we believe.  We are to believe in God and believe in Jesus, and the word is to take precedence over life’s ever-changing circumstances.

Luke 7:7

Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say a word, and my servant shall be healed.

 The centurion understood the authority Jesus had on this earth.  He believed the word that Jesus spoke, and his faith in that word caused his servant to be healed.  We can operate on this earth in that same belief.  Our faith in the word and works of Jesus, without doubt, will manifest miracles.  Faith believes and speaks only one option, and that is what the word says

Psalm 91:15-16

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.  With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.  

God is in our corner and ready to fight for us when we are in trouble.  Make God the first call forever problem and every circumstance in life.  Let Him fight the battle and stay in peace.  We don’t need to figure out how it will get done.  Just sit back and praise God for the answer and watch the miracle unfold before our eyes.

Psalm 20:4

May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

A new year has come upon us again, a time of reflection and a time of change.  May this year be better than the last, and you can grow closer to God and see Him work mightily in your life.  Be blessed, loved, and highly favored child of God.

Proverbs 23:7

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

The Bible says to guard our hearts, for out of it come the issues of life.  What we think in our hearts is how we truly feel.  Our focus then is vital.  We cannot expose our heart to the negative daily and expect it to produce positive thoughts.  We need to train ourselves to turn away from that which doesn’t build us up spiritually. 

1 Corinthians 6:20

For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your Spirit, which are God’s. 

We have a high value to God! The devil doesn’t want us to realize that every born-again person was bought with a price.  We can glorify God by keeping our bodies holy and out of sin.  We can glorify God in our Spirit with praise and worship and build ourselves up in the most high 

God.  We are God’s, and He loves us.

1 Corinthians 1:10

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.  

There is only one Bible, yet we still have divisions.  The church unified is a strength the devil cannot overcome.  A time is coming when we, the Church, must stand together to represent the word and Christianity.  Our power to overcome sin in this world is through Jesus.  The devil will not defeat a unified church!

Romans 11:33

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

God is a treasure for us that we should rely on more.  God knows the beginning from the end!  He knows the answers to our problems and how to avoid the issues in the first place.  God sees our heart and what needs to be healed.  He has wisdom and knowledge that we can’t even fathom.  We already have every resource we could ever need in God, and God loves it when we turn to Him for the answers.  

Merry Christmas

Romans 8:1-2

There is therefore now no condemnations to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.  

Our Spirit, when connected to God, is our greatest world overcoming asset.  The connection between our Spirit and the Holy Spirit allows us to be guided by God.  This connection keeps us free from the law of sin and death. We don’t need to know or understand how everything works in this life when we are connected to God.  We need to trust and turn to God for guidance to keep us out of sin.   

Romans 7:15-17

For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that I do.  If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.  Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.  

There is a battle between the flesh and the Spirit.  How many times do we have regrets when our flesh takes over, and we say something we shouldn’t.  We know it at the time, and we do “what I hate,” as Paul said.  Sin rises, and we don’t stop our flesh from taking over.  Our spirit can control our flesh as we develop in the word and speak our faith.  We have to exercise our faith, which increases our spiritual strength.
