“Fear Is A Deterrent”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!!Beloved,
I want you to know today that fear is one of the enemy’s favorite tools to keep us from going forward in our lives.You see, as soon as we make a choice to step out in faith and do what God is instructing us to do, immediately the enemy will bring fear. He’ll put thoughts in your mind like, “What if I fail? What will others think? Maybe I don’t have what it takes.” He’ll do his best to use fear to try to convince you to shrink back and just stay right where you are.
Beloved, the Bible tells us that fear is a spirit. It affects your mind and emotions. Fear is a deterrent. But when you choose to put your trust in the Lord, no matter how you’re feeling, you’re combating fear. You’re no longer allowing fear to isolate you and prevent you from what the Spirit of the Lord is guiding you to do.
Today Beloved, I encourage you to take a step of faith knowing that God is on your side. He is for you and with you, leading and guiding you in the path of victory all the days of your life!!!

“Your Season Is Coming”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!!You know, God has set up seasons in our lives. It’s easy to get upset and discouraged when our dreams aren’t coming to pass on our timetable, but every season isn’t harvest season. There’s a season for plowing, there’s a season for planting and there’s a season for watering. Sure, we all would love for every season to be a time of proliferation left and right, good breaks here and great breaks there. But without the other seasons Beloved, we wouldn’t be prepared. Let me give you an example, it’s during the plowing seasons that God brings issues to light that we need to deal with. He’s getting us prepared for promotion.
Beloved, if you’re not making as much progress as you would like, the key is to not lose any ground. Don’t backup or turnaround. Hold your position!!! Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it’s hard. When you do that, you are passing the test. God promises that your due season of harvest is coming and God will fulfill every dream and desire He’s placed within your heart!!!

Bishop Houston’s “Inspiring Word for Today”
“Distinguish Your Conflicts”Beloved, in life, many of the encounters we face are simply disruptions from the enemy to keep us from pursuing our calling. Maybe someone in the office isn’t as friendly to you as you’d like. Maybe you have a neighbor who always parks in front of your house and blocks your driveway or mailbox. Those things may be annoying, but they have little significance when you look at the big picture of eternity. You can’t allow the little things to cause conflict in your life.
You will find in scripture, just before David fought the giant Goliath, his brother Eliab tried to confront him. But David knew that arguing with Eliab wasn’t even worth his time and strength. He knew his real battle was with Goliath, and he didn’t want to be distracted. He simply “turned away” from Eliab and kept his focus on what he was called to do.
Let’s follow the example of David and keep our eyes on what’s most important in life. Instead of being led away by frustrations, let’s focus on the big picture. Distinguish Your conflicts and receive the mark of honor the Lord has for you!!!

“Use Your Delete Button”
Beloved, our minds work a lot like a computer. The way we program our thinking will determine how our lives are going to function. You can have the most expensive, powerful and top of the line computer that’s on the market, but if you load the wrong software, it’s not going to perform at its best.
Well, it is no different for people. You’ll find many people are not living a victorious life not because there’s something wrong with them, but because of what has been programmed in their thinking.
They start believing the lies, “I’m not talented. I don’t have a good personality, I come from this particular family I’m worthless. I’ve made too many mistakes. I’ve reached my limits.”
Beloved, just like a virus can slow down a perfectly good computer, our wrong thinking can keep us from our destiny. If you’re going to live in victory, you’ve got to know when to use your delete button.
When that thought comes that says, “You’re just average. You’re ordinary.” Use your delete button and say, “I’m a masterpiece. I’m one of a kind.” When you hear, “You’ve seen your best days. It’s all downhill from here.” Use your delete button and say, “My future will be brighter than my past.” If you’ll start using your delete button on those negative thoughts, your life will go to a new level, and you’ll experience the blessing and increase God has in store for you!!!
