“God Has a Better Way”

Have you ever felt like David when he prayed this Psalm? I have and it’s not an easy position to be in? Sometimes it just appeared no one cared about what was going on in my life and that God was silent. If you’re in this position now, then allow me to bless you with a reality check. The reality is God isn’t being silent. He’s crying with you in moments of hardship.

He’s carrying you through them and has all the power essential to do so. You may not see it now, but when you do, you’ll be astonished at how God was working in your life. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (AMP) says: No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy].

Beloved, as we end this week and head into the weekend if you’re in a crisis or you’re at your weakest moment about an issue and you want God to rise and work something spectacular right then and there remember God has a better way, trust that He knows what He’s doing. Amen? Aaamen.

Weekend Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, we understand that sometimes there’s going to be challenging moments, so please provide us the grace to accept that. We pray that You’ll speak to our hearts, help us, and show us Your way. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, I pray, Amen and Amen.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Have a blessed Friday and a tremendous weekend Everyone. 😀

“LOADING OUR BEST RESOURCES IN HEAVEN”

Focal Scripture: Matthew 6:19-24

Praise the Lord Beloved. Happy Sunday. Let us all be thankful for this day.

This Morning’s Focal Bible Scripture is Matthew 6:19-24

Beloved, we should all be carefully loading our best resources in heaven. We shouldn’t be apprehensive about our physical needs, because they’re only temporal. Instead, we should pursue eternal things. Temporal things don’t last and can decay or pilfered here on earth. On the other hand, eternal things endure and will never be at risk from thieves or deterioration (*1).

While the “heart” characterizes the whole person, the “eyes” signify our ability to distinguish truth (*2). So, if our spiritual eyes are healthy, we’ll be able to see reality and follow the correct path. If not, we’ll be morally and spiritually blind, incapable to see which resources are worth valuing and following.

Beloved, what we value exposes who we are and leads to what we do (*3). And since we can only serve one master, it’s prudent to select God over monetary things. (*4). You see, the idea of “loading our best” resources in heaven shows that following God and valuing His kingdom is a series of choices that build conduct and charisma. Paul compared it to a construction project (*5). Some people use wood, hay, and straw as their building materials, others use gold, silver, and jewels.

Beloved, when the fire of judgment strikes, it will be very clear which one will endure. Amen? – Aaamen. 😀

Let Us Pray:

Dear Heavenly Father, once again I thank You for Your valuable Word. Help us to carefully load our best resources in heaven and take our eyes off of the things that are temporal.

In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen and Aaamen.

Beloved, life is very short. It comes and goes like an unannounced gust of wind. None of us know the hour or day when that gust of wind will be permitted to enter our room and blow out our earthly light. So today, reach out and touch someone and tell them you love them,

BECAUSE TELLING THEM LATER JUST MIGHT BE – TOO LATE.

I LOVE YOU ALL!!! – Have an awesome Sunday Everyone.

“Hardship – Just Passing Through”

2 Timothy 2:3 (AMP)
“Take with me your share of hardship [passing through the difficulties which you are called to endure], like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.”

You know, there are going to be times when inflexibility is unavoidable. You need to know that. It’s true that we’ve been redeemed (converted) from the curse, and there’s nothing Satan can do to reverse that, but believe me, he’s going to challenge you on it.

So, don’t be astonished when things get rough, when people get upset when you won’t bow down to them or won’t bend for them anymore. There will be times when you must stand strictly – firmly by faith, when you’ll have to speak and act as though what God says is true even when you can’t feel it or see it happening around you.

There’ll be times when everything looks terrible. That’s when you must endure hardship as a good soldier as you pass through.

There are so many people that hear the word of faith about healing or prosperity and they think, Hey!!! I’m going to try that. Then when the hard times come, they give up and cave in.

Let me warn you right now, living by faith isn’t something you try. It’s a lifestyle. You do it when it’s hard. You do it when it’s easy. You do it all the time because you’re not doing it just to get in on the benefits. You’re doing it because you know that faith pleases God.

Beloved, things may get a little rough at times, but I assure you, you’ll always come out on top if you endure hardship as a good soldier. If you refuse to get weak and lose focus, you’ll have the victory.

The only defeated Christian is the one who quits!!!

Let Us Pray:

Dear Heavenly Father, Lord through Your Spirit I come asking You to help us to live in Your patient love. Open our eyes to see Your goodness and truth surrounding us, even in this troubled world. We look to You, Almighty God. Protect us in these difficult times. We look no further than You.

In Jesus’s Name I Pray,

Amen and Amen.

Have a blessed Sunday.
