God is not like some powerful dictator. He’s kind. He’s full of love and mercy. The Bible says that God is love (1 John 4:16)! He’s calling to each of us, “Come! Let’s sit together and talk! Remind Me. Tell Me what I have promised you. Remind Me and I will do it for you. Show Me by your own words that you are ready, that you are willing to believe Me. I want to bless you and I can do what I have promised” (Isaiah 43:26).
Many people believe God has a huge office where He is very busy with a lot of work to do, which means He has absolutely no time for them. They look at the sky wondering, “Would God do anything for me? He’s so powerful but so far away…” But God doesn’t say “no” to you! God’s answer to everyone is “YES!” and He’s reaching out to you today. “If you are hungry, come to Me, and I will feed you! If you are thirsty, come to Me and drink! If you are in need, come to Me, open up your heart and give Me your problems!” (John 7:37)
Hell trembles at the voice of faith! Why? Because it has no effective weapon against a person who acts like the Bible is true—who believes that it will surely work just as it is written, and is applicable to every situation they will ever face!
You as a child of God have been given dominion over viruses, bacteria, fungi, germs, and micro-organisms! You can speak to that life, cursing it at its root and commanding it to die, because it is not of God. Sickness is from the devil, it’s an oppression that has come to destroy your life!
In order for God to work with us we are going to have to cooperate with Him. If we want to receive total victory and deliverance, it’s not enough to simply KNOW that God understands and cares about us. We must go on from there and DO WHAT HIS WORD SAYS! Cast ALL of our anxieties, ALL of our worries and ALL of our concerns upon Him, for He cares for us!
If you’re feeling like a panicked disciple out in the middle of the sea in a foundering ship, remember: there is One greater than the stormy seas and He lives inside you! He holds the earth with all of its seas in the palm of His hand! Speak to those storms just as Jesus did, and put your trust in Him to bring you to safe harbor!
As parents we shape the future of our children through our words. Why not shape our own future with the very words we speak? Today choose to speak words of life and healing over yourself!
What can you do when you find yourself disconnected with yourself, your dreams, your past, and your family? There is always a way back! You have been left with a letter from heaven; a voice from a place that is unchanging, a book of ideas that are confirmed to all who choose to believe them. Locate yourself in the Bible and preach it to yourself!
With an attitude of gratitude, we can soar to the heights where new hope, new strength and new life are found. Today, let’s celebrate and be thankful for the SIMPLE things of life no matter how insignificant they may seem!
God can only go where your feet take Him. He can only touch the people you touch. He sees through your eyes and speaks through your mouth. His words are all-powerful, but for that power to be released they must be spoken through lips of faith!
