The people who make the most progress are usually the ones who continue on no matter what the challenges are. Are you one of those people?If so, keep up the great work. If not, then it's never too late to get going. Blessings and success are available for everyone. No one person has a lock on those things. God is an abundant God who blesses continuously. His blessings never run out. His blessings never sleep. So, keep going. There's so much in store for those who seek after God. The Lord is going to bless the diligent.  Proverbs 10 :4  says, "poor is he who works with a negligent hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich." Keep going forward and keep trying new and positive things. Don't let mistakes or setbacks stifle you and leave you in the same place as years before. You can still be blessed to be a blessing. God has more for you. Keep going.

Do you know God has forgiven you for anything you've done, that you have repented for? That means when you asked God to forgive you, He did. He wiped the slate clean.   Colossians 2 :14 says, " God forgave us of all our sins, having cancelled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross."  So, don't walk around with guilt or shame when God has already forgotten about everything. Philippians 1 :6 says,  "He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."  So, guess what? That spirit of defeat will not stop you from connecting and reaching people. Do you know the Lord has people at the ready, who are waiting to hear from you? Oh yes, they are ready, willing, and eager to get what you have. Your life and your walk has not been in vain. You are free to operate in the love, power, and strength the Lord has given you, because the slate has be...

Do you know, you're going to make it? Oh yes, especially if you believe what G alatians 6 :9 says, which is “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Clearly, that verse is referring to those who don’t give up. It means that your season will flourish and blossom into the awesome things the Lord has in store for you. It means that although you may indeed grow tired and weary sometimes, the key is that you do not give up and say, 'that’s it, I’m done.' Never give up on the plans God has for you. He wants His plan manifested on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10). Remember? So, continue on. Keep those goals and dreams front and centered, that the Lord placed inside of you. Don't let anything or anybody stop you. And know that any tough situation you may find yourself in right now, is only the right now . It will not last forever. God's will for your life is yes and amen. And He also knows what it ...

You're not worried about anything, are you? If you are, let these words be an encouragement to you that you don't have to be bothered or worried about yesterday, today, tomorrow, or any day after that. The Lord is going to take care of you. I pray that you believe that. I pray that your faith is that of the tiny mustard seed that will explode when ready, until magnificent abundance. There is no need to worry, fret, or be anxious about anything. Let it all go. I know all too well that feeling of despair and defeat and I'm coming to tell you that you don't have to live there. It's not worth it and God has a much better and fruitful life for you to lead. Don't settle for mediocre. Don't settle for anything you think you're unworthy of. You are valuable simply because you were made in God's own image. And that means a whole lot, let me tell you. Matthew 6:25/26   says,  "“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you wi...

Do you need peace in your life? Is there anything that is causing you to lose sleep at night? Are there people, places, or things getting in the way of your praise?   If so, I've come to tell you that that is not God's plan over your life. God has much better for you. That is not why Jesus died on the cross.   Isaiah 26 :12 says, " Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us."  So you see, you have a godly right to operate in peace (which is also one of the fruits of the spirit). It has been been given freely to you from the Lord. In this lifetime there is room to possess every last one of them. Remember, absolutely nothing is too big for God to do in your life. Be reminded about what Galatians 5 :22/23 says. It says the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance , kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. So when we walk in the spirit, we won't be rattled by the distractions around ...

Remember Jesus is still Lord. And remember, Jesus turned water into wine ( 1 John 2:1-10 ) , so nothing is impossible for anything you want Him to do in your life. Do you need a miracle? Do you need Him to turn anything around? What do you need Him for? It doesn't matter what you're confronted with, all it takes is trust in Him with full hearts, that He will perform miraculously in your life. When we do that, we can get through anything that comes our way, because our strength comes from the Lord. Remember that and be reminded that God will never put more on us than we can bear. Nothing is too big for Him.  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...

Jesus paid it all when He died on the cross. He carried the cross for our sins. He paid for every bad decision, every burden, and every conceivable pain we would endure. Yes, He loves us that much — more than any other is capable of. Jesus is it. He bore it all. Isn’t that amazing when you take a minute to think about it? ‘Jesus paid it all, up on the cross. He bled and died, because we were lost. So here we are, surrendering all. Lord hear our cries, on our knees we fall.’ Those are paraphrased lyrics of  Wess Morgan’s song, You Paid it All . Prayfully they resonate. For God is great and He wants salvation for everyone. He wants everyone to know He took their heartaches, trauma, and pain. He always will. “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed” ( 1 Peter 2 :24). Jesus paid it all.
