"But Moses told the people, "Don't be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again." Exodus 14:13 Lately when I begin to let the worry get to me, God has begin to speak to me and say, "Everything you've stressed about in the past few months have I not made a way in each place?" I think to myself and begin to remember that everything I feel is so stressful, circumstances that I can't even think about because they are overwhelming, and the things that seem impossible to be fixed, God always takes care of them. You have to start today telling yourself, "God has never let me down, He has always made a way, He has never failed me before, and He never will." You have to remind yourself you serve a faithful God that will always make a way for you, no matter what. You're free from the stress, the anxiety, the depression, and all the things holding you back, God has freed you...

 "A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare." Proverbs 15:1 Has anyone every made a smart remark at you, or someone insulted someone you loved and it made you want to blow up with anger? We all have, but a soft answer is always best. We have to as christian's smile, and turn the other cheek. Next time someone gets rude with you, or makes a remark, smile and be kind. Think of this, every time someone was mean to Jesus you didn't see Him yelling at them. You have to choose kindness to save yourself. God didn't put us on this earth to be hateful,  He put us here to show His love and to spread His gospel. Why would someone want to be around christian's if we were mean, or rude all the time? The answer is, they wouldn't, so today be an example of Christ. Here are some verses to reflect on. "Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love." Ephesians 4:2...

"The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm." Exodus 14:14 Take it easy. We all need a break, time to relax and gather our thoughts. If you're feeling tired, or gloomy take a break. Sometimes we need time to take time to ourselves to just read the word, listen to some worship music, or even just spend time to ourselves and pray. Time to ourselves is a good thing. Today, spend some time alone with God to gather your thoughts, to gather yourself and just to make yourself happy. God wants us to spend time with Him, and sometimes that is the best therapy for ourselves, be at peace. The doubt, the pain, the sadness, even the sorrow is about to be over, God is changing your situation and sending a miracle. You're about to see it. Once you have time to yourself, and with God you'll learn so much about God in the quiet moments. He will reveal things to you in the quiet moments that you couldn't hear in the loud moments.  Here are some verses to reflect on tod...

"The Lord answered, "If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'May you be uprooted and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you!" Luke 17:6  I have a bit of a testimony today. My dog got out of our fence Sunday night, the neighbors seen her run into the woods. I wasn't too worried, I figured she would be home by the morning. Monday comes, no sign of her. I made a Facebook post telling everyone that if they seen her please message me, by Monday night still no words from anyone and no sign of her. Late Monday night, I messaged a Pastor that I trust, asking for prayer and guidance of what to do. He told me to read 2 Kings chapter 16, to follow what the elder prophet told the younger to do, to go break a twig off of a tree limb, place it in the last place I saw her, but I had to be the one to do it. I felt it was a seed of faith. Tuesday morning I did. I went got a twig placed it in her kennel, where personally I...

 "So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law." Galatians 5:1 That debt you're in, that pain you've been feeling, that addiction you're dealing with, the roots have been cut off. Just because you can't see it yet doesn't mean it hasn't happened. When you cut a rose from the bush, and put it in water it will continue to grow for a bit but soon wither away. That thing you're dealing with, the source has already been cut off. If you're not seeing change yet, give it some time. God already is working in your life if you can see it or not. You've been freed, already. You're in the best position God is getting ready to unfold the blessings. You're worth so much. Keep your mind on God the rest will fall into place. God is for you, not against you. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, th...

"This is how holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They put their trust in God and accepted the authority of their husbands." 1 Peter 3:5 We tend to put ourselves down, and sometimes we even think less of ourselves than we truly deserve. Think of the most beautiful place on earth, think of how much time you think God spent on it, how he made it so perfect. Now think of yourself, if God sent that much time on a place imagine how much time He spent on you, and your appearance. You are worth so much, you underestimate yourself. God made you in His imagine, so when we tend to hate ourselves we are actually hating the way He looks. As a child when you made something for someone and spent so much time on it to give it to them, what if they looked at it and said they hated it. That would hurt you wouldn't it? It's the same way when we hate ourselves or how we look, God is proud of how He made you. You're beautiful, handsome, and worthy of love. Here are some verse...

"Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3 You have to remember the dreams you have are tiny compared to the amazing things God has planned for you, you never can dream too big. The one that has plans for you, is also the one who created you. You are meant for so many wonderful things, if only you place your dreams in the hands of the one who can make all things happen. Start to dream bigger, start to get excited for the future, start being ready for the things that God has prepared. Get ready for so many blessings, and so many dreams to come true. God is sending all of it right now. You might not can see it but it's on the way. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "We can make our plans but the Lord determines our steps." Proverbs 16:9 "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 "If you plan t...

"Now, who will want to harm you if you are eager to do good?" 1 Peter 3:13 Sometimes you have to set your mind on doing good. That doesn't mean that it will be easy, but living for God will always be worth it. You should be the person God created you to be, not what the world convinces you that you are meant to be. You are meant to be a good person, and sometimes that means you aren't meant to fit in with the world. If you feel like you're standing out, maybe you're in the right place. Maybe God doesn't want you to fit in because you are meant to stand out. Keep going, God is always going to let you come out on top if only you trust in Him. Here are some verses to reflect on. "This is my command- be strong and courageous! Do not be discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 "A troublemaker plants seeds of strife; gossip separates the best of friends." Proverbs 16:28 "Don't be fooled by those who...

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding."Proverbs 3:5 Has someone ever just dropped your friendship or relationship out of no where and you just couldn't understand why? We all have had friends betray us, or just leave our lives without even telling us why. If that has happened to you, and you asked God why, I have a revelation for you. Sometimes when someone leaves your life it's the perfect will of God. Yeah I wrote that correctly, see there are sometimes reasons we didn't even know about as to why we did not need them in our lives. God hears conversations we don't, He sees things that we can't and He knows how they truly feel about us. If it's happened to you, or does, ask God was it for His purpose, or maybe the enemy tearing you apart. Never take back something God intentionally pushed away. He knows much more than we do, sit back, relax and trust Him to send the right people at the right time. He knows who ...

"You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings." Psalms 23:5 Have you ever been looking out the window at the rain pouring down and thought,"Wow, we needed this rain, it's been dry." The same way as things happen in our lives that leave us empty and dry. When we try to follow the world to become happy we begin to realize we are actually dry inside. We aren't truly happy, until we can find God's peace. You have to stop trying to let the world fill you cup, when God is the only one who truly can. If you're feeling frustrated, dry, or empty, go to God in prayer and ask God to fill you up. You're worth so much, don't let the enemy take the joy of the Lord away from you. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying." Romans 12:12 "Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it a...

"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." 1 Corinthians 14:33 Something I experienced the last few days is our flesh tends to exaggerate what is happening some times, we tend to think situations are much worse or will have a bad outcome when reality isn't that. We have to realize that God is not the author of confusion. He knows everything, why would He be confused? He knows your need before you ask Him, today take heart in knowing it's handled. That situation you think is completely impossible to be fixed, God wants you to know there wasn't a reason to worry in the first place. You're well taken care of. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "O Lord, I have come to you for protection; don't let me be disgraced." Psalms 71:1 "For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind." James 3:16 "Don't worry about anything; instea...

 "For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you." 2 Corinthians 9:10  Where God guides He provides. God will never send you into a situation where He has not already provided a way for you to endure to get out. You have the power of the true living God living inside of you. You have no reason to fear, God has everything worked out for you good. Whatever the enemy has sent to harm you, God will end up using it to prosper you. Don't worry about tomorrow, God is already there. He has all things worked out. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "He covers the heavens with clouds, provides rain for the earth, and makes the grass grow in mountain pastures." Psalms 147:8 "And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others." 2 Corint...

 "But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!" Revelation 3:16 I've heard so many people say, "I'll get right with God someday", but see tomorrow isn't promised. You have to get right with God while you still have the chance. If Jesus came back today, would you be in the position to go to heaven? Let that one sink in. Are you fully living for God, or you in a luke warm place? The Bible says that God spits the Luke warm out of His mouth. He hates when someone is half living for God, in His eyes it's all the way not living for Him. You never know how much time you have left here, get right while you still have a chance to. Focus on God not the world. God loves you so much. "Anyone who isn't with me opposes me, and anyone who isn't working with me is actually working against me." Matthew 12:30 "They will betray their friends to be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasur...

 "That is the Lord's blessing for those who fear him."Psalms 128:4 God is about to show up and show out in your life. I know that there have been times you've prayed for a blessing and thought it would never come. God is saying to you today, "You have waited patiently for what I am about to give you, you wanted to give up, but I knew when the best time was to give you this." You are about to experience an abundant blessing. Get ready for great things to come. Don't let the enemy discourage you, you're closer than you have ever been. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "When you enter the home, give it your blessing." Matthew 10:12 "So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up." Galatians 6:9 "If you do, we'll share with you all the blessings the Lord gives us." Numbers 10:32 "You will experience all these blessings if yo...

"God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work." 2 Timothy 3:17  Today the problems you think you're dealing with aren't actually problems, they're growth. The steps of growth are first uncomfortable, then go to compassion, then you're at wisdom. What you're going through is a test, it will prepare you for the future. Don't let these circumstances stop you. You're about to see blessings, you are meant for so much more. God has wonderful plans for your life. Let God prepare you! Here are some verses to reflect on today. "If only you would prepare your heart and lift up your hands to him in prayer!" Job 11:13 "Pack your bags and prepare to leave; the siege is about to begin." Jeremiah 10:17 "Put on your armor, and take up your shield. Prepare for battle, and come to my aid." Psalms 35:2 "My future is in your hands. Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly." Psalms 31:15 

"For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." 2 Corinthians 3:17 This verses really speaks to me, it reminds me in the midst of all our circumstances that there is freedom that lives in us when we have the Spirit of the Lord living in us. Today, no matter what your circumstances are know that there is a freedom that lives in us greater than anything in this world. God will work everything to the good for those who love God. You have a freedom that lives in you, that's greater than anything in this entire world. You are free from the mistakes you made, sin, doubt, free, frustration, anger, and even your temptations. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32 "So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law." Galatians 5:1 "For the wages of sin is death, but the fr...

"I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn't confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me." John 15:15 There are times in our lives when we feel like we have no one, we feel as though all of our friends have walked away. We have to keep in mind that we always have a friend in Jesus, no matter the circumstance the one person in the world that will always stand beside us is Jesus. When we fully chase after Him, you'll then begin to see people running the same speed as you after Him, those are the friends you need. The ones who will chase dreams, chase Jesus, not the ones who are chasing after the world. Surround yourselves with people who fit your future, not those who fit your past. Focus on your future with your true bestfriend, God, and all the rest will come along at the right time. Here are some verses to reflect on."There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friend....

"God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work." 2 Timothy 3:17   If you're in a place where you feel isolated, know that means that God is preparing to level you up. Often times in our lives when we are going to the next level we go through a period of isolation, it isn't God punishing you, it's often Him preparing you, or taking the people out of your life that are unable to go to the next level with you. If you feel alone during this time in your life, or you feel as though you can't fit in anywhere remember that Jesus didn't fit in with most crowds. He had His close circle that was on the same mindset and path as He was. If you notice that even the people closest to Jesus fell short, made mistakes, look at Judas, he betrayed Jesus, look at Peter he denied Jesus. God doesn't expect you to be perfect, but He does expect you to make an effort to be close to Him. Don't focus on the things you lost in this growing period, even a ...

"Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world." Psalms 46:10 Being still doesn't mean "be quite" or "not moving" in Hebrew the meaning is more of, "relax" Today let go, letting go of what is holding you back, let go of people that aren't working toward the purpose that you are, let go of everything you cannot control, let go of the thoughts, let go of your past, and let go of your anger. Get in God's presences and lay it all at His feet. Relax, let go of the things and lay them at God's feet. Today, let go and let God. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "Now, O sword of the Lord, when will you be at rest again? Go back into your sheath; rest and be still." Jeremiah 47:6 "The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble." Psalms 9:9 "Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who sear...

"I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death not life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow- not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love." Romans 8:38  When it's not God's timing nothing can make it happen, when it is God's time nothing can stop it. If you've been praying for a blessing, miracle or breakthrough and you feel like the enemy is pushing it further off know that when it's God's timing nothing will ever stop it. The Bible tells us that nothing in this world, or spiritually can pull us away from His love. So the destiny that God has planned for you, nothing will stop it, there is no demon in hell, no past mistake, no distance that can ever stop you from God's destiny. If you ask God to guide you, give you Him your whole heart, and live a pure life representing God, and He will always help you find the destiny you are meant to be. H...

"The faithful love of the Lord never ends!" His mercies never cease." Lamentations 3:22   God had me awake and thinking the other night, as I scrolled through my phone I came across a video and I felt a word could come though a video I was watching, the video stated that the devil hates us so much because he messed up once and was kicked from Heaven, we mess up daily and are still forgiven. That hit me so hard, the fact God forgives us everyday and has never ending mercy for us. If that doesn't show you how much God truly loves us then I don't know what will. They say once you have a child you'll understand what true love is, and imagine how God feels when we love him enough to live a righteous life, and truly love spending time with God. He just wants us to love Him as He deserves, He created us, He blesses us with everything we could ever need, and still forgives us no matter how many times we fall short of His glory. Today remember that even if you messed ...

 "When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water, and they were frightened." John 6:19 Imagine being in a lake and you have a storm come through, and as you row the boat you see Jesus on the water. I imagine I would be scared also, but see that's how Jesus walks into our lives. When we are in the storm scared and afraid, He calmly walks in the storm to find us. You are never sent a battle too hard for God to help you overcome. You are worth more than you can even imagine in God's eyes. Take hold of your future and chose not to let the storms take over you, Jesus is walking on the water to come save you. Remember our life guard walks on water. There is no need to fear in the middle of the storm, hold on. He's already walking on the water to help you through, take His hand. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and towards...

"And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him." 1 John 5:14 I understand we all have prayers we desperately need answered at times, but we have to remember that God is not a genie. Something my dad told me years ago that stuck with me is, "Sometimes when we pray for something, God can't answer it immediately, If other people are involved in what we are praying for God can't force them to do His will just like He won't force you to do His will." It stuck like glue in my brain, because sometimes we are praying for something, and we forget that other people might not want what we are praying for. We can't make someone change, we can't make someone want to do His will, or have the heart that we have. You have to pray and trust God, even if the others involved don't change their minds, know that if you have God's hand over your life, no matter the circumstance, you will always come out on top. Be at peace...

 "I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is a sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth." Genesis 9:13 If you notice after it rains a lot of times you see a rainbow in the sky, the rainbow is a reminder that God will never flood the entire earth again. Every time you see a rainbow it is a reminder that if God promised you something, He will do it! There isn't no if, and, or, buts, if God said it He will do it. It isn't like asking someone for help and wondering if they will come through, it is a set in stone deal. When God tells you something, He means it. He is creator of all the world, He knows what will happen all the days of our lives, He wouldn't tell you something and put hope in your heart if He knew it'd never come to pass. Hold on to the hope God has given you. You're about to see His promises come to pass in your life! Here are some verses to reflect on today. "The rain pours down from the clouds, and everyone benefits." J...

"But Noah found favor with the Lord." Genesis 6:8 See everyone thought Noah was crazy until it began to rain. It took 150 years before the rain began. See even today it would be hard for some to believe with no clouds in the sky, but imagine it had never rained before at that time. There had never been rain, or even sprinkles. Noah seemed crazy to people because they couldn't see the vision God gave him. Many of us have a vision and a dream that God gave us that seems crazy to everyone else. I've learned that it's okay if my dreams and visions don't make sense to others, because God gave me that and if God said it He doesn't change His mind. Today if you have a dream or vision that might sound crazy to everyone else, that's okay.  Keep going God will make it come to pass. If God promised it, it will still happen. Let you seem crazy to the world, because when it begins to rain everyone will see. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "Noah went ...

"But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is unsettles as a wave of the sea that is blow and tossed by the wind." James 1:6  So many times in our lives we want to throw the towel in and say we're done, we're ready to give up. That's the perfect time for God to step in and show you what He really can do! In times where we are most down that is when God has the biggest opportunity to move mountains. Today if you're feeling all down and out, and discouraged lift your head up high and know God has it all figured out. You're about to get a miracle, a blessing and so much more. Have faith in God! Here are some verses to reflect on today. "I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain 'May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart." Mark 11:23 "And you must show mercy to t...

"Always be humbled and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love." Ephesians 4:2  This is something that we all have to do all throughout our lives, we have to forgive others, and be kind in all circumstances. We are all human, we all make mistakes, and we all fall short of what we could be at times. Take time out of your day today and make allowance for each other's faults. Don't let anger and feelings control how you treat someone poorly, be kind in all circumstances. Take a step in the right direction and be kind, loving and forgiving all day and do it each day ahead. We want to be treated with kindness and that starts with how we treat other people. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud. 1 Corinthians 13:4 "Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you....

"And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengths our confident hope of salvation." Romans 5:4 Turn the pain into progress. We all have feelings, and God knows that, but He doesn't want us to let it keep us down. Times will come where we feel it is impossible to overcome the pain, but God uses that pain to strengthen us. If I've learned one thing about spiritual battles, and even physical battles it's that God never sends the rain without a rainbow behind it. If you're feeling heartbroken, sad, stress, anxious or even in pain physically get ready for your rainbow. God has it right around the corner for you. He is using this to strengthen you, the rain never last forever. Blessings are on the way! Here are some verses to reflect on today. "He trains my hands for battle; he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow." 2 Samuel 22:35 "comfort you ad strengthen you in every good thing you do and say." 2 Thessalonians 2:17 ...

"No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other: you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money." Matthew 6:24  You can't be God's bride and dance with the devil at the same time. It's like when you get married and they have the first dance, the groom dances with the bride not an ex girlfriend. You can't be a part time christian and expect God to bless you as if you were a full time christian. When you put God on the back burner, then you're putting the most important thing in last place. You've got to choose which side you're on, being in the middle isn't an option. You can't be lukewarm and have already fully given God your heart. One thing I learned is I better get on the boat before it's too late and eternity with the devil is what I have to pay. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will ...

"I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you've received it, it will be yours." Mark 11:24 When we are battling in our minds and spirit we only focus on the dark clouds around us, not thinking of the sun brightly shining behind the clouds. When we let the devil blind us by what is around us and behind us we forget to look at the beauty of what is in front of us. Today if you're battling in your mind or spirit I declare a breakthrough is coming, I declare that what you've been battling is no longer there. The clouds are gone, you can see clearly now. Focus on the good things ahead, not what is behind you. God has great bright things He wants to give you. You're free if only you believe. God has got you in His hands. You can see clearly now, the rain is gone. Here are some verses to reflect on today. "Jesus told them, "This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent." John 6:29 "Jesus asked him,...

 "That is the Lord's blessing for those who fear him." Psalms 128:4 Have you ever been sitting outside looking up at the sky and a plane made way through the clouds, and in your mind you think it's so far away? In reality it could be landing in seconds it's not as far as we think. That's how it is with God, there are times in our lives where we are praying desperately for something or something to change and it seems so far away, but in reality God has already handled it and it's so close to happening. Today feel encouraged, God has a blessing coming to you, it's going to happen suddenly. What you thought would take months, or years is fixing to happen way faster than you think. Get ready for God to fix all the things you've been praying about, but also get ready for blessings. The blessings are on the way! Here are some verses to reflect on today. "When you enter the home, give it your blessing." Matthew 10:12 "So let's not get ...
