🙌 God doesn’t want His children to waste time being anxious over the cares of this world or their own provisions. Our attitude and character should mirror our Fathers. So, don’t forget He is not only a “good” Father, but He’s a GREAT one. So “seek” after the Kingdom of God and His ways, and He’ll provide (Philippians 4:19). Come against worry and fear in the name of Jesus! You are in His hands and when you busy yourself with His business (Kingdom business), He’ll take care of yours. Release it to God and REST in Him.

If God said it, that settles it. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “settle” as “to fix or resolve conclusively; to establish or secure permanently; to sink gradually or to the bottom; to come to rest."
This offers us a colorful description of how we should receive any direction or leading from the Holy Spirit and every word that God has spoken to us through His Word [the Bible]. If He says that you are the righteousness of God, redeemed and set free, then that’s settles it: that IS who you are…NEXT! If He says that He’s given you the victory and that you have favor with Him and man, then it’s settled. Walk in obedience and trust His direction every step of the way. It’s past time that we let it “sink in” and “go to the bottom” of our hearts and minds: IT’S SETTLED. I don’t need a Plan B, I can depend on God. He is faithful, and His promises are sure (2 Corinthians 1:20). #ItsSettled #TrustGod AND #Rest

🙌 There is healing and breakthrough in your worship whether on your knees or through your daily walk with God. Allow God to transform you and your mind daily so that you will understand what His will is for your life. Trust and find comfort in the fact that He knows best for you.

The more we grow and mature in our relationship with God, the more we are able to reject carnality. The “fruit” will be visible to those around us; and as representatives of Christ, it’s important that others know us by our fruit, especially love (John 13:35). Ask God for His help in making sure that you are providing the best “environment” for your fruit to be harvested in. Sometimes, that simply means being aware of what we are exposing our spirit man to (entertainment, unfruitful conversations, associations, etc.). So stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit. The maturation and condition of your fruit depends on it. HappyGrowingSeason!

🤔 Oftentimes, the path that we are on in life has already been “straightened” for us and sometimes without us even being aware - that’s the kind of good God we serve. He will cut down a mountain, smooth out rough ground or even people on our behalf to get us through, and the world will have to sit back and take notice at the way He does it. He will always get the glory.
We have access to the Holy Spirit, and He’s our Guide. He desires to order your steps and direct your life (Psalm 37:23), so let Him! When you reflect on all that He’s blessed you with today, also be grateful for the things He’s removed…from your path without you even being aware. You are loved and precious in His sight and the location of both your steps and heart is important to Him.

There are no weaknesses, past failures or any idiosyncrasy in the eyes of man that are a match for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18). Mankind just isn’t that powerful (shrug). So, if you’ve received instruction from God and have been led to move in a certain direction but haven’t yet, don’t falter any longer! Not only is His strength made perfect in our weakness, but He honors our obedience.
He is pleased when we step out and trust Him even when circumstances are beyond our control, and we don’t quite understand how things will work out (Hebrews 11:6).
Most importantly, when God gets the glory, and it is evident that it is Him and not ourselves that have accomplished a feat, it puts the focus on God. Then He closes the deal by drawing that man or woman’s heart to Himself; and that’s what it’s all about if we are His ambassadors here on earth, right? Be blessed!
Only what is done by and for the Lord will last. So, commit ALL of your ways to Him and trust that He knows best for your life (Psalm 37:5). While you were in your mother’s womb, God ensured that you . He created you with the perfect concoction of your gifts/talents, personality and purpose (Jeremiah 29:11, 1:5). God “created” creation so long ago, yet we still are reaping the benefits of what He spoke into the atmosphere in faith. You have been called and set apart for His divine purpose so place your faith - confidently - in Him. He never fails!

Those who put their trust in the Lord can depend on Him for security and protection. He desires to cover you from hurt and harm both physically, spiritually and even emotionally, if needed. In the midst of any tough situations or your enemies, it’s a miraculous think to know that because you have sought safe shelter in your Father inwardly, you can always stand confidently outwardly.
🤲 Your life is in His hands. So trust those same hands to guide you where you need to go and to provide for whatever He has called you to (Philippians 4:19). He is faithful!

No matter what you are going through and regardless the tenure of the situation, never forget that God has already given you the victory! Just imagine you’ve been given a $1,000,000 check to deposit. Before you even begin to make the trip to the bank to deposit it, the funds "belong" to you. There may be thunderstorms or bad traffic on your commute to the bank, but it has no bearing on the fact that you possess that check. You just have to press through all the way to the bank so that you can actually claim the funds that represent the digits, dollar sign and signature that’s to be endorsed on that check.
🙌 You’ve been given the VICTORY, and you can “take that to the bank” because God cannot lie. Your faith endorses the VICTORY, so go claim it. Don’t be discouraged by the commute to it. Have patience and trust in God.
You have nothing to fear: greater is He that is WITHIN us then He that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Don’t let doubt have your heart or the enemy have your ears because we serve a God Who never fails and Who can’t lie (Numbers 23:19), so don’t you dare listen to the enemy’s [lies]. We have the victory IN Christ.
The more we grow and mature in our relationship with God, the more we are able to reject carnality. The “fruit” will be visible to those around us; and as representatives of Christ, it’s important that others know us by our fruit, especially love (John 13:35).

Sometimes, that simply means being aware of what we are exposing our spirit man to (entertainment, unfruitful conversations, associations, etc.). So stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit. The maturation and condition of your fruit depends on it. Happy Monday!

🙌 When the pressures of this world seem to be blowing in our direction , we have only to lean on God - our IMMOVABLE Rock. He steadies our footing and makes our way clear (Psalm 143:10) because He loves us and cares about our well-being and safety. In a spirit of gratitude for that love, we should honor Him through our words and deeds.
🙌 He is a Holy and righteous God, and He cares about what we spend time meditating on (Philippians 4:8). May our thoughts reflect our respect and appreciation for His love, holiness and the sacrifice He made for us through His Son Jesus. Selah.

God has a unique purpose for your life, but have you been obedient and truly allowed Him to transform you from the inside out? God loves us; He literally considers more valuable than any piece of art that dawns the walls of any museum in this world. The beautiful montage of gifts, talents, and what you think are useless idiosyncrasies sometimes, all add to the work of art that is YOU! You are a living, breathing masterpiece…a walking representation of the artistry, craftsmanship and handiwork that can only be embodied by the Creator of Universe!
🙌 He knows best for your life so trust Him for the wisdom and direction to walk out His plans for you life. You’re HIS masterpiece. May the joy of the Lord strengthen and transform us so that we are ready to be used for HIS work today! Selah.

Thoughts will become words and then words eventually translate into actions, so be careful about the type of treasure you allow to be stored in your heart. Only you have the authority to determine whether the conversations you’re a part of, the music or shows you watch, the material you read glorifies God and mines good treasure or bad in your heart.
💛🙌 Create in me a clean heart God (Psalm 51:10) so that my words do not deceive or misrepresent You as I am your child. I desire for the treasure in my heart to honor you so that my thoughts are good, lovely and pure (Philippians 4:8). Give me wisdom and discernment on what I’m exposing myself to daily. Thank you Lord for your love and grace to send the Holy Spirit as my Helper so that I may honor you in word and deed. Amen.

🙌 When we place our confidence in God and trust Him to lead our lives, we are cognizant of God’s love for us. The peace and joy that He’s given us access to is beyond our understanding (Philippians 4:7, Proverbs 3:5-6). He desires for our hearts to overflow with His love. Regardless of what’s going on around us, we can put our trust and hoxpe in God. He anchors our souls when everything around us seems to be unstable. Our Father desires to lead our lives, give wisdom and bring peace of mind. May this bring joy to your heart today. God loves you.

The more time we spend “at His feet” and meditating on His Word, we get to know Him better thus making it easier to conform to His ways. He sent His Son Jesus so that you could be reconciled with Him, delivered and set free from any sickness, disease, bondage or baggage. He’s made you MORE than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). He is your protection and covering, so you have nothing to fear (Psalm 91:4).
If you need wisdom and direction, you have access to the Holy Spirit - your Helper - and you only have to ask Him (James 1:5). In and through the mighty power of God, you will find the strength you need to fulfill every task before you today (Ephesians 6:10, Philippians 4:13)! So hold your head up and walk humbly and confidently in the divine power that God has been given you on this Happy Sunday!
