What do you do when the devil comes to offer you a reality that is not in God’s Word? You respond with the TRUTH of God’s Word and declare, “IT IS WRITTEN!” When Jesus spoke, sickness, disease, poverty and affliction would flee. You and I have the same authority as Jesus. When we speak, things happen!

How do we find peace in the midst of the chaos in our world today? Train your thoughts on JESUS! Change what you’re saying to what GOD says! Scripture is clear, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV).

God has given you a fail-proof tool to practice His presence. You have your own direct line of communication to God Almighty, and scripture tells us that as we pray in the spirit, the mysteries of God are being revealed for our lives!

If we don’t learn to look at our circumstances and situations through the eyes of faith, we will only see our need. Faith doesn’t look at the need, faith looks at the seed of God’s Word as the supply for every situation!

Remember that regardless of how difficult the crisis is that you may be facing, DON’T GIVE UP! God WILL guide you in your everyday affairs. He is committed to you more than you could ever commit to Him!

Throughout our lives as believers, a very important message we can “preach” to those around us is the example of our lifestyle. We don’t react or breakdown under pressure, we stand on the faithfulness of God’s Word in every situation and see the deliverance of the Lord!

If someone else’s actions or choices have you feeling like a hostage in a canoe in a hurricane, don’t give in to anger or fear and anxiety! Jesus is with you in that boat, and in His name we can command peace to EVERY storm!

We may think that our boss controls our fate and our income, but that is not the case in the Kingdom of God. The seed principle God initiated at the beginning of time is still in operation. Whatever we sow we will reap. Mix the seed of diligent work with the seed of your money sown, and you will have a powerful seed combination working in God’s soil!

We are told over and over in the Scriptures not to worry, fret, or have anxiety about anything, but to trust in God. Why? Because our physical bodies are not designed to handle too much stress. We are designed to live fear-free and stress-free!

According to Colossians 1:27, “Christ now lives in you.” Where is the presence of God? I’m not looking over here or over there, I am relishing His abundance and living in the glory of His love and His life and His Spirit in me right NOW! I come BOLDLY to His throne of grace and receive what I have need of from Him!
