Be bold. We can draw our strength from God spiritually, but He has the power to empower us physically as well. We have the privilege of His boldness operating on the inside of us so that we can we can represent Him properly and share His love with the world. Rest in the authority and power that we have access to through the power of His Son Jesus.

🙏 When we stay connected to God, following and remaining committed to Christ, we experience inner peace. While Jesus could have been boastful and harsh because of all His mighty exploits, He chose instead to walk in humility and to deal gently with our hearts.
As believers (followers of Christ), we should not only be concerned about sharing the Gospel, but we should have a desire to emulate His character and to honor Him in all we do. God will renew and refresh our souls, if we’ll allow Him to transform us from the inside out and provide us with the peace that only He can provide (John 14:27). Rest IN Him.
There is no need to fear when the Lord is on your side (Romans 8:31). Those that put their confidence in their Heavenly Father not only please Him (Hebrews 11:6), but they are safe and protected by Him. Your dreams and well-being are covered in Him.
So remain faithful to Him. Keep your spirit man built up today, so that you stay closely connected to Him for direction throughout the day. #HesGotYou

We are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, and part of the benefits of that relationship - besides our salvation - are the fruits of the spirit and the “unexplainable”peace that we have with God. It’s God’s desire that we don’t exhaust our strength trying to make provision for the temporal things in this world. Instead, it’s His desire to turn our hearts and affections towards Heaven and the things that are really at the core of our Father’s heart (love, joy, peace, a desire for all men to be saved). The treasures that we have in store are invaluable and in no way comparable to any earthly one. Rejoice and find peace in that today as you start this new week.

💪🏼 Don’t you dare allow your hope in God too fizzle out! Stay patient and wait on Him, no matter how you feel or how the circumstances look. He will give you the strength that you need whether its physical, emotional or otherwise to accomplish all that you need. He cares about the affairs of your life, so allow Him to direct your path. Stay close to your Heavenly Father - keep your eyes fastened on Him and receive His power. You’ve got this (with His help).
God’s wisdom is not like man’s. It’s full of compassion, peace and love. It’s impartial and just, amongst other godly traits. So embrace the wisdom that your Heavenly Father desires to give you freely. You don’t have to try figure things out by yourself (Proverbs 3:5-6). He will give you understanding and discernment to make wise decisions concerning the affairs of your life. He loves 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). What kind of fruit will you allow God to bear in you this week?

Rejoice! You’ve got something to be grateful for. Not only does the Lord give us strength, but it’s His desire to put a new song in our mouths (Psalm 40:3). Stir up the gift inside of you (by praying in tongues) and receive God’s wisdom, direction and song of gladness.
The Lord is a shield of protection around you both physically and spiritually. So, be sure to give Him thanks and praises for His grace and love for you today. You are anointed to accomplish everything that He has instructed you to do and you can do ALL things through Christ (Philippians 4:13).

🙌🏼 Nothing is too hard for our Heavenly Father. Whatever He has said that He will do, He will do. So stand confidently on the promises of God and on the purpose and plans that He’s revealed to you. He will bring them to pass. He is faithful, so regardless of whether you can see the physical manifestation of those promises yet, trust and believe: if God said it, that settles it. Practice agreeing with His Word verbally. Have faith and visualize those things before they come into existence. In fact, why not ask God for His help to see things the way He sees and desires you to (Hebrews 11:1, 2 Kings 16:17)? He’s got you. Just stay the course and keep your eyes on Him. #HappySaturday

In the Bible, a person’s name often revealed both the character and/or affiliations an individual had. When God called Abram and made a covenant with Him revealing that He would be the Father of many nations, his name was changed from Abram to Abraham. He stepped into God’s plan and purpose for His life, but His name was changed prior to it even being brought into fruition.
In the same sense, we can look at the many names of God (i.e. Jehovah Jireh - our provider, Jehovah Rapha - our Healer). His name(s) reveal His nature, power, and character (goodness, mercy, power, faithfulness, just for starters) to the world. Place your trust and confidence in His name. Remind yourself today of all that His name reveals about Who He is to you. He won’t fail you.

🙌 Our joy stems from the heart of thanksgiving that we have as the result of what our Father God and His Son Jesus has done for us! He loved us and counted us valuable enough to transfer us from the kingdom of darkness (where we belonged because of our sin nature) and into His kingdom. We're no longer in bondage to sin or fear, but we've made privy to the benefits of the inhabitants of God’s Kingdom including true joy and supernatural peace.
😊 So SMILE…you’re the responsibility of the King of King and Lord of Lords! Your Heavenly Father. Place and leave your life and plans in the capable hands of your Heavenly Father. He won't lead you astray!
The more we deepen our relationship with God by allowing Him to teach us how to exercise good judgement and discernment in our personal lives, the better we get to know and strengthen our relationship with our Heavenly Father. When we embrace His precepts and make it a priority for the things that are dear to His heart to become close to ours, the more our faith is strengthened. His Word (the Bible) = His will = His heart. Keep your spirit man built up today and take the time “to know Him” a little better by reflecting on His Word. #HeWantsYouToKnowHimBetter
🙌🏼There is freedom in Christ, and because of God’s love for us, He’s given us love, power and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). God’s Word is Truth and as a result of the authority, power and authenticity of His Word, we can go to Him boldly regardless of what we are facing. We can share our heart with Him and seek direction to the purpose that He has on our lives.
As we begin this new week, don’t forget that we are His ambassadors, and He always welcomes us checking in with Him for guidance and insight on the plans He has for our lives. He loves you and will provide for every part of the assignment that He’s given you. Place all of your confidence in Him and boldly go to His throne. He loves you, and He’s waiting. #IamVictory
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…period! If He says that He’s given you the victory and that you have favor with Him and man, then it’s settled, you do.
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.
🙌 Peace is just one of the benefits of being in the family of God (Isaiah 26:3, John 14:27), so be encouraged and take advantage of what He willingly has made available to you. Cast all your cares on God. Walk in His peace today and trust that He will give you strength every step of the way. If you are His child then peace is just part of His inheritance.

Through the power of the blood of Jesus, we have gained access to come boldly to our Heavenly Father. He hears your cry and your concerns. He knows your desire for wisdom and discernment, and He will answer you. Don’t allow doubt to find its home in your heart. Stay connected to your Heavenly Father throughout the day by keeping your faith active and your spirit man built up. He will not fail you!
Our gifts, talents and all of the days of your life were thought out and outlined. So, it only makes sense to consult with the One who thought you valuable enough, not only to give His all for you (John 3:16), but to map out your purpose. He will order your steps and lead you on that path if you put your confidence in Him, being careful to keep your spirit man built up so that you hear and obey His voice. Check in with the One with the ‘Master Plan’ for your life. He never tires of hearing from you…in fact, He’s waiting!

God has given you all that you need to live your life victoriously. 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!
