God gives us energy

According to Google, energy means: "the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity." Did you know God gives us the energy we need to do what He called us to do? He hasn't forgotten we can't do everything on our own and we certainly shouldn't forget that either. We need God. And He loves helping us, because He loves us so. His spirit is always alive. He never sleeps. Isn't that a blessing? He's there 24/7.

Even when we think we can go on no more, here comes our super hero, God. He's always there when we need Him, isn't He? He never leaves us or forsakes us. If we're feeling listless and unmotivated, God gives us just what we need to continue on. Getting that burst of energy that comes right when we need it, is like a runner's high. After a runner has been running for awhile and should be ready to give up, they get a second wind. They have a new and fresh burst of energy. I used to be an avid runner, so I know the experience and it's real. So you see, there's no need to ever give up on what God has for you. If you're tired, it's ok. It's allowed. Yet know this: "There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears" Philippians 1:6.

That means whatever God placed in you to do, will get done. It's about letting our faith (and works) carry us all the way and never stopping. Remember, the God of the possible makes all things available to us that we need not worry. We get constant bursts of energy whenever we call upon the Lord of lords to help us. Isn't that amazing? It's the God working in us to continue on. Philippians 2:13 says, "that energy is God's energy, an energy deep within you, God himself willing and working at what will give him the most pleasure." God knows what we need and when we need 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

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
