A blessed evening everyone.

Let's be thankful every time to the one who provides.

But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” Luke 5:5, NKJV  
   
As Jesus was preaching along the Sea of Galilee, so many people pressed in on Him that He got into Peter’s boat and pushed out from shore in order to keep speaking. When He was finished, He told Peter to launch into the deep and he would catch a great haul of fish. Peter had fished all night and caught nothing. He was a professional fisherman and knew when and where to fish. Peter could have thought, “Who is this man to tell me how to fish?” But he responded, “Jesus, this doesn’t make sense. Nevertheless, because You say so, I’m going to do it.” He went out and caught so many fish that his nets began to break, and when his partners in another boat came to help, both boats were so loaded down that they almost sank.

God controls the fish. He knows where your provision is, and He knows how to get it to you. It may not make sense or seem logical. But God loves to do things out of the ordinary, so you’ll know it was His hand.

Good morning from Texas.



It was Rehoboam's story rejected the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him. 1 Kings 12:8, NIV 
    
In 1 Kings 12, King Solomon had died and his son Rehoboam was about to take the throne and rule over an unmatched kingdom of wealth and influence. When the people of Israel asked him to lighten their harsh labor and heavy taxes, he asked the elders who had served his father for advice. They said to do as the people asked, but Rehoboam rejected their counsel and turned to his young friends. They told him to do just the opposite and make it even harder on the people. These young men knew this is what Rehoboam wanted to hear. It fed his ego, made him feel more powerful, more in charge. But this bad advice caused the Israelites to rebel, tragically splitting the kingdom between Judah and Israel.

Don’t make Rehoboam’s mistake. You need people who tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Don’t surround yourself with yes people who always agree and are afraid to tell you the truth or you may not listen to them anymore. Wrong voices lead to wrong choices.

A blessed Tuesday evening everyone.

Be blessed in His words. Glory to God.

Part of following Christ is learning to live within the boundaries of urgency and trust. Sometimes we face a dire situation, as the psalmist’s situation in Psalms 70-71 seemed to be. Whatever the specific context was, the psalmist felt threatened by enemies — and his need was pressing. Listen to the sense of urgency in these words:

1 “Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, Lord, to help me.” (Psalm 70:1)
2 “But as for me, I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and deliverer; Lord, do not delay.” (Psalm 70:5)
3 “Do not be far from me, my God; come quickly, God, to help me.” (Psalm 71:12)

At the same time, though, the psalmist was learning to trust God. The Creator had been his foundation since his birth and his confidence since his youth (Psalm 71:5-6). He would always have hope, and he would speak always about God’s righteous deeds (Psalm 71:14-15). He believed God would restore him even after he experienced great troubles.

Urgency means, “God, please answer me soon.” Trust means, “If you don’t answer right away, I trust You anyway.” Christian living means living within the tension of both.

He will fight for your battle.

“The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes.”
Deuteronomy 1:30, NIV
      
When God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, He fought their battles. When He parted the Red Sea, Pharaoh and all of his army knew the Lord was God. As did the Israelites, you may have things that have held you back for a long time. Every voice tells you, “It’s never going to change. You’ll never break the addiction, never get well, never get out of debt.” On your own that may be true. The obstacle is too big, too strong, more powerful. The good news is that the Most High God is going before you to fight your battles. You are stepping into a new season. He’s going to make things happen that you couldn’t make happen. You’re going to have a strength that you didn’t have. Things are going to fall into place. You didn’t have the connections, the odds were against you, but suddenly it’s going to turn around, suddenly you’re going to go to a new level, suddenly you’re going to break the addiction. How could this happen? God is going before you.

Good evening everyone. Our God is making us ready.

I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you. Isaiah 41:10, AMPC

If twenty years ago you faced some of the difficulties you face today, they would have defeated you. God knows what you can handle. As you keep passing these tests, He’s hardening you to difficulty. You’re getting stronger. Your faith is growing. Your endurance is increasing. Your spiritual muscles are being built up. The reason God is doing this is because there are awesome things in your future. God is taking you to a wide and spacious place. He’s going to enlarge your territories. But with greater influence comes greater giants. With greater blessings comes greater opposition. With greater favor comes greater persecution. If He didn’t harden you to difficulty, you couldn’t withstand what comes against you.

You may be going through some things today that aren’t fun. You may be uncomfortable, but you have to realize that God is not making you suffer. He’s working through the difficulty to deposit something inside you. He’s growing you up, getting you stronger, increasing your faith. Be encouraged that everything you are going through is necessary for where God is taking you.

You may be loss someone my friend, don't worry.

So Naomi returned from Moab accompanied by Ruth the Moabite, her daughter-in-law, arriving in Bethlehem as the barley harvest was beginning. Ruth 1:22, NIV

Life had been good for Naomi in the land of Moab, but then her husband died. Ten years later, both her sons died. Both she and her widowed daughter-in-law, Ruth, were left heartbroken and very poor. Naomi decided to move back to her hometown of Bethlehem, and Ruth went with her. You can imagine how devastated they were, but God was doing things they couldn’t see right then. He was getting them back to Bethlehem so that Ruth would meet a man named Boaz who was very influential and wealthy. This was a part of God’s divine plan. Ruth ended up marrying Boaz. They had a son named Obed, who had a son named Jesse, who had a son named David, through whose lineage Jesus was born. The disappointment was all a setup for something far greater.

When we isolate a loss or a door that closed by itself, it’s not fair. But when we understand that God works generationally, we step into generational blessings. We see things that were orchestrated long before that catapult us into our destiny.

According to His promises, our Abba Lord Jesus.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5, NKJV

Imagine Jesus sitting at the right hand of the Father and hearing us pray, “Lord, if it’s Your will, You can heal me.” He says to the Father, “So after I took all those stripes, endured all that pain for them, to take their sickness, now they’re wondering if it’s My will?” That doesn’t honor God. After the price He paid, the way to honor God is to have the attitude: “Lord, I know You want to heal me.”

We see all through the Scripture that healing is His will. One of the best things we can do is to remind God of what He says. If you want to pray with confidence, bring His stated will to Him. Pray what He promises. “God, You say You will restore health to me. You say You took my infirmities, carried my sickness, and by Your stripes I have been healed. You say You wish above all things that I prosper and be in good health.” When you pray the promises, you won’t say “if it is Your will,” because you know His will.

Blissful Sunday morning everyone.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28, NIV
     
When things come against you in your health, your finances, or relationships, it’s easy to get upset and let your mind constantly dwell on the what-ifs. If your mind never rests, if you live wrought up, fighting everything you don’t like, you’re going to be worn out. Your physical body can rest, but inner rest is just as important as outer rest. If you start resting, turning it over to God, He’ll go to work. He sees what’s happening. He knows what wasn’t fair. And the good news is, God already has the solution. He has a way to not just bring you out, but He’s going to make the enemy pay for bringing the trouble. He’s going to bring you out better.

Now do your part. Bring it to Jesus and sit down and rest in faith. Quit worrying and trying to figure it out. There are no logical solutions to some situations. The Scripture says, “Lean not to your own understanding.” It’s okay to take your seat and live from a place of rest, a place of peace, a place of trust.

Another chance God has in store for you my friend.

“Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones….Come up to me on the mountain, and I will write on the tablets the same words that were on the ones you smashed.” Deuteronomy 10:1–2, NLT

In Deuteronomy 10, God took Moses to the top of Mount Sinai and encompassed the mountain in a great cloud, with lightning and thunder. It was a powerful, holy, majestic moment when the finger of God inscribed the Ten Commandments on two stone tablets. But afterward when Moses saw the Israelites worshipping a golden calf, he was so angry that he raised the stone tablets, something sacred that God had entrusted to him, and smashed them into pieces.

We all have mishandled something incredibly valuable that God has given us. Perhaps we let our anger, our pride, our having to be right, tear a precious relationship apart. We mishandled the career God gave us. We gave in to compromise and lost our integrity. If God gave us what we deserve, we’d be done. But God is the God of another chance. He said to Moses and to us, in effect, “You smashed something sacred. But if you go back up the mountain, I’ll give it to you again.” Don’t let guilt or regrets keep you back. He’s going to restore what you threw down.

Good morning people,

While he was still talking to her, messengers arrived from Jairus’s home with the news that it was too late—his daughter was dead and there was no point in Jesus’ coming now. But Jesus ignored their comments and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just trust me.” Mark 5:35–36, TLB

In Mark 5, Jesus was delayed on the way to heal Jairus’s daughter when messengers came to Jairus, saying, “We’re sorry, but your daughter has died. There’s no use bothering Jesus anymore.” Jesus overheard what was said, but He ignored their comments. Notice the principle: There are times when you overhear negative words about problems you face, but you have to ignore them. Don’t dwell on it. Don’t give those negative seeds any room in your soil. You’re not denying the problem, you’re not acting as though it doesn’t exist, but you’re not letting it take root. You can’t have faith if there’s doubt, fear, and worry.

The Scripture says to “lean not to your own understanding.” Yes, use common sense, but there is no solution to some things we face in the natural. If you try to figure it out, you’re going to get confused and discouraged and talk yourself out of it. You can’t stop that you heard it, but take the next step and ignore it. Jesus ignored it, prayed for the little girl, and she came back to life.
