You Can Handle It

Remember Jesus is still Lord. It doesn't matter what we're going through. We just have to trust in Him with all our heart, and do not rely on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5. When we do that we can sustain anything that comes our way, because our strength comes from the Lord.

I was listening to a sermon by Sarah Jakes-Roberts titled, "Mirror Mirror" and she said God gives us challenges and obstacles in order to develop us. He gives us such things, because that's what He knows we can handle. It's "a reflection of what He thinks of us" says Jakes-Roberts. I never quite heard it put that way, but it does make sense, doesn't it? I agree, because how can we be everything we're supposed to be if we're not strong enough to endure the obstacles that will surely come? How can we help others if we've never been where they've been and if we never had the challenges they've had? You get it?

We will be able to handle it if we've gone through it.

So I totally believe that God will never put more on us than we can bear. We just have to trust Him when it seems our back is against the wall; when it seems all the chips are down; and when it seems our life has been turned upside down. I know from experience that you will get through everything that has been a struggle, a challenge, an obstacle, or anything you may be going through. God is the one and only God of any and everything. Don't think He won't bring you through, because if He can bring me through He can bring you through.You just have to believe Him, listen to Him, read and trust His word (it's paramount that his word is in you), pray without ceasing, and be around the people who will build you up. This is called faith and God will respond faster than you think and in ways you never even imagined. This is what I know.

You can handle it.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

Click to listen to current podcast episode. “Never Giving Up” are power-words — strong affirmations that give us momentum and movement. That’s what’s up. We can do so much more in our lives when we have momentum and movement. It’s about standing, literally and not sitting or laying around feeling sorry for ourselves. I used to do that once upon a time and that sorrowful thinking is for the birds. We don’t have to be down. We can get up and get going even if we start small. In fact, I love starting small, because it helps set a firm foundation of habits and routines. Momentum and movement will help us get and maintain a position of strength to do what God says we can do.

Speak things as if they were

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. Do you know you have the power to speak things into existence? Do you know you have the power to change your atmosphere? Oh yes, so speak life to your life and know that the Lord's Word never comes back void. It is always alive and active. It's never too late to start speaking over your life. In   Mark 11 :24 Jesus says, "therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours"  and   Proverbs 23 :7 says, "for as a man thinks in his heart, so is he."  Those verses are proof that when something lives in our heart, all we have to do is open our mouths and speak those things as if we already had them. It's amazing how much power we really have, but we throw it away, because of our lack of faith. I've done that for years and let me tell you, it's not happening anymore. I'm not giving no thing, no one, and no place another inch of m
