“Your Steps Are Prearranged”
Beloved, God created every one of us to be successful. Before the basic elements of the world were developed, He laid out a meticulous plan for your life. In this plan, He has marked others steps that are going to come across your path. These moments are not ordinary. They’re destiny-altering moments. They’re designed to insert you, years from now.It says in Ecclesiastes that “time and chance come together for every person.” That means you’ll have opportunities to meet the right people, opportunities to advance in your career, and opportunities to fulfill your dreams.
Beloved, God has already prearranged your steps for elevation and approval. You may not see a lot of good breaks right now, but be encouraged because there are seasons of favor and increase marked for your future!!! 😀

“Hold On!!!”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!! 😀
I hope you’re being blessed in the Lord this morning. I normally don’t post on Thursdays but this morning I had to share this with you before I had to the studio.
The Spirit of the Lord laid on me 1 Peter 1 6-7 (NLT) for my morning scripture reading it says:
*6 So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. 7 These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.There may be someone out there that may be in a crisis right now; (an illness crisis, a financial crisis,
a homeless crisis, an addiction crises). Beloved, if you’re a true believer, let me tell you, you’re being tested!!! 😀 You see, you’re a threat to Satan. So Satan has asked God for permission to see how strong your faith is in God (The Word of God).I’m reminded on two separate occasions, the Bible records that Satan petitioned the Lord to test a believer (Job in Job 1:6-12 and Peter in Luke 22:31-34). Beloved, in both cases, God agreed. The Devil did his best to break the faith of first Job and later Peter, but he failed both times!!! 😀
Beloved, do you suppose that Christ and Satan have ever discussed you? I think most people are too humble to accept such a conversation has happened. So let me ask the question a different way: Is your life making an impact worth talking about? I had to ask this question of myself. Am I serving God sufficiently to make Satan feel threatened?
Let me tell you, preachers and missionaries aren’t the only people who make the Enemy nervous. Any believer who is determined to obey the Lord is a threat to the Devil, particularly when sharing the gospel. God calls on you to witness to certain people because you have just the right knowledge, story, or temperament to reach them. Fearing that the unbeliever might choose salvation because of your testimony, Satan gives you plenty of opportunities to fail. He hopes you’ll be too discouraged to continue serving the Lord. The Enemy would like nothing better than to frustrate and or prevent God’s plan for believers’ lives by destabilization their faith. That being the case, we might all be surprised how often our names pass between Jesus and Satan!!! 😀
My Beloved, true believers in Christ, although you may think you aren’t important, God knows your true value.
Friend, as a Spirit-filled believer, you have amazing potential to serve the kingdom. Satan sees that, and he’ll try to make you stumble, and he will place crisis in your life. If you fall or need someone to hold on to or help you “go through” your crisis, “LEAN ON or HOLD ON” to the unchanging hand of the Lord as you get to your feet and carry on. 😀
God bless you and have a blessed Thursday. 😀

“Christened to Combat”
Focal Reading 2 Corinthians 10:3-5Peace be unto you my friends.
You know many Christians don’t realize that they’re in a battle. We have an Enemy who opposes us in every way. His purpose is to prevent us from becoming who God wants us to be and achieving what He’d have us do. The Devil frustrates our plans, confuses our minds, and brings feelings of anxiety and despair. But he doesn’t stop there. He also stirs up conflict, starts divisions in our relationships, ministries and churches.
There are several things that Christians should understand about this combat:
“The battle is real” – even if we can’t see it. The difficulty, pain, and discouragement Satan causes are genuine. His temptations are not imaginary, they overpower and entice us away from the Lord.
“The battle is spiritual” – Our struggle isn’t with one another but with invisible forces of wickedness. Although the conflict is waged in the spiritual realm, it impacts every part of us, our mind, will, emotions, desires, and even our bodies.
“The battle is tough” The Adversary fights dirty, and the encounter is “up close and personal.”
Our confrontation with the forces of evil is like spiritual hand-to-hand combat and flesh-to-flesh wrestling. He has a host of demonic beings who work constantly, even when we sleep.Beloved, as long as we’re on earth, the war will continue.
Although the enemy is strong, there isn’t reason to be frightened. He’s no match for Christ, who lives within us. We’ve been entrusted with Jesus’ divine power over the Evil One.Beloved, the only way we can access the Son’s authority is submitting to His lordship and walking in obedience to His Spirit.

“You Have a Winning DNA”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!!Beloved, have you ever really considered your spiritual DNA? Our Heavenly Father spoke and worlds were created. He threw stars into space. He decorated every sunrise. He designed every flower. He shaped man out of dust and breathed life into him. Now here’s the key: He’s not just the Creator of the universe. He’s not just the all-powerful God. Beloved, He’s your Heavenly Father.
You have His DNA. Now just imagine what you can do!!!
Beloved, when you realize who you are, you won’t go around overwhelmed, unsettled, apprehensive and insecure, thinking, “I’m lacking. I’m not that talented. I come from the wrong family.” NO, you come from the right family. Your Father created it all. Beloved, when you know who you are, it changes your thinking from, “I’m unsuccessful. I never get any good breaks” to “I have the favor of God. Blessings are chasing me down.”
Beloved, let me tell you, when you know who you are, you’ll start thinking like a winner, talking like a winner, carrying yourself like a winner, and soon, you’ll start living like a winner, too!!!
“To God Be the Glory!!!

“When the Negativity Gets Turned Up”
Praise the Lord Beloved!!!
Happy Monday to you.
You know Beloved, whenever life becomes challenging and it seems like the negativity has been turned up, that’s a sign you’re closer to your victory. I’m talking about those times when lies bombard your mind,when people are talking about your goodnes in a negative way, when you’re tempted to get depressed or feel like throwing in the towel. Beloved, don’t quit!!! That’s not the time to back down. That’s the time to dig your heels in and put on a new attitude because you’re close to your breakthrough.
Maybe you’ve had a lot of things come against you. It seems like the more you pray the worse it gets. You just know you’re doing the right thing, but the wrong thing is happening more people challenge who you are in Christ.The easy thing is to say, “Forget it!!! I don’t have to put up with this!!!” “This marriage is never going to work.” “I’ll never be able to raise this child.” Or, “I don’t like this job.”
Beloved, instead of getting discouraged, instead of going around sour and bitter, you need to say:
“I’ve come too far to stop now. I’ve been through too much to back down. I realize the reason the negativity has been turned up is because I’m about to clinch my victory!!!”
“To God Be the Glory”.
