MY GOD IS FAITHFUL

I just thank God for being a faithful God. He is sure faithful to the end. It may seem that I've lost it all, but at the end He comes to the rescue. It has not been easy for me this year...but all that garbage ended with February. He just reminded me how faithful He is. To be still and know that He is God. That He will pull me through it. It may seem that the enemy is winning but God is actually fixing it behind the scene. I am rejoicing today because I have RECOVERED it ALL.

I confess that as I am entering the new month, it will be a favor filled month

I will begin to see all that I've recovered from the thief being the devil

That His grace, mercy and favor shall begin to manifest in my life

Humans will see it, I shall be celebrated and Jesus will be given all glory

Father I thank you for being an awesome God. For being a faithful God, especially when we are being unfaithful. Thank you God because you have not given up on me. Thank you for the second chance. For the new month and the new song. Thank you because through your faithfulness I HAVE RECOVERED ALL. IT IS WELL IN JESUS NAME. AMEN

I KNOW WHO I AM



I am free
I am yours Lord
I am your baby
I am your friend
I am saved
I am a citizen of heaven, royal priesthood
I am blessed
I am favored
I am a victor
I am celebrated
I am SOMEBODY and HE is my LORD
I am a survivor
I am healed
I am an overcomer!

In the mist of the storm...


The waiting period is not easy; but I know that my redeemer lives. My mom said it is because my breakthrough is near and I have to agree. I thank God for His daily bread, His daily words of wisdom that gives me strength. I thank God that with each step, it gets lighter because I know that it is only one footprint in the sand. His, not mine.



In the mist of the storm He will show up. One thing I have experienced is that our God is always on time, never late or early...just on time. One thing to count on is that He will do what He has promised. He reminded me this morning about what He did in the past. Ex. 19:4. Each time it seems like He is far, just remember your past, how He guided and guarded you and know that He will see you through.

My favorite way of reaching out to Him is through praise and worship. King David was called the man after God's own heart because he knew exactly the way to His heart and that is through praise and worship. Sing to Him, listen to worship songs, tell Him how much you love Him. Have conversation with Him. Let Him know how you feel. I sleep with either songs I put on repeat or sermons...as I sleep I have them in my heart and as I wake, I am waking up to one.

Though the vision may tarry, it shall surely come to pass in Jesus name.

New week...New dawn...New Blessing


I thank God for the gift of life. I thank God for a new week. I am not a fan of Sundays because I know the next day is either school or work. But on the other hand it means that I will be embracing a new week, new hope and new blessing.

I watched Joel Osteen Live today and really enjoyed the guest speaker. His message was on LEGACY. One of the points I got from his sermon was that Legacy will make you view life in 3D and I agree. Our legacy in Christ makes it easier to face our battles knowing that Christ has overcome. Our legacy in Christ is what gives us hope to have faith in God. I thank God that I have a legacy in Him.

Lately, I've been meditating on the MERCY and GRACE of God. I will share on it once I get a grip on it. I have to say that God's mercy is not to be taken for granted. His words in Romans 9:16, made us to understand that He decides on whom to have mercy. What would have happened to me if He had kept His mercy from me. Where would I have been if He was a man that keeps count. Thank God for His mercy and His grace to overcome.

I pray that God will see us all through this week in Jesus name. I don't know about you but I started confessing into my life how I want my week to go. So here it goes:
I confess into my life that this week will be a week to remember for the rest of my life.
I confess that I will find favor this week.
I confess that I will be celebrated this week.
I confess that unmerited, unexpected favor will come my way.
I confess that I will not be where HE is not, that HE will guide my steps and lead me this week and forever.
Amen

Broken Hearted


Dear Lord,
I think I have broken my heart, can you fix it?

As kids run to their parents for comfort, so should we Christians do in time of pain or grief. The bible made us to understand that a broken and contrite heart God will not turn away. Ps 51:17. But why do we find it so difficult to run to our Father? He already promised in His word to comfort us." Isaiah 66:13. So why are we dragging our feet?


I am guilty of this. I know who HE is and what HE is to me, but each time I stumble I feel like I will never get back up again. Most times, the accuser derails me into thinking I played my last hand. But He is not a man to count fault, if He was to count fault who can stand against him? He knows me, He has searched me. Even before I was born He knew me. And I know He loves me. I know that His grace is sufficient for me. Why "thou downcast oh my soul?"


Thank God that I have Him to run to for comfort. I am not an orphan. It may take a minute for me to realize of whom I belong to, but He is ever ready, available, with open arms to comfort me. "Not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord My God spoke. Not one word of them has failed." Joshua 23:14 (NKJV). Such words of comfort to know that I am secured in His promise, that I can rely on Him to wipe my tears and bring laughter back in my life.


I don't know what you may be going through, your heart may be broken like mine...He is waiting for you to come home to get healed. No questions asked, no nagging, sarcastic comments, jokes or payment. He is calling you, come home...humble yourself and come to Him. He will fix your broken heart.


It Is Well With My Soul

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.


Refrain:
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.


Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.


My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!


And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

When God is silent

I've been listening to Christian podcasts lately and I still can't get enough of Dr. Stanley Charles message on "When God is silent." One of the reasons he gave is that when God is silent, He's been good to us. He also used the story of God raising Lazarus from the dead to remind us that delay is not denial.

It is very difficult and very discouraging when one is really expecting from God. I,ve been battling with the issue of God's silence lately and I pray that I will be still to hear from Him.
