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!
Faith is the atmosphere in which the Lord has chosen His people to live. If you’re sick, you have the ability to see yourself whole by faith in God’s Word that shows it is His will for all to be healed. Likewise, if you’re poor, by faith you have the ability to see beyond your poverty to God’s will for your abundance!
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!
Faith to see the miraculous springs from your inner peace. How do we hear and have confidence in our path? The Bible says “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). Taking time each day to sit quietly with your heavenly Father, listening and waiting upon Him, is the key to developing the intimate, close relationship He desires to have with His children. Internal stillness is where answers come from.
I’m on the other side of the cross, are you? When you encounter the cross of Christ and come to that place where you can leave every hindrance there, every circumstance and anxiety and every form of sickness and disease—then you’re living on the other side of the cross!
If you can control your thoughts, you can overcome in life. No person, spirit, or circumstance has the right or ability to control your thoughts. Your mind is a prime target for the enemy, but you CAN protect yourself from his attacks. How do you do this? By being vigilant and aware of what you are thinking about, and examining it against what God says. If it doesn’t agree, take it captive and correct it with the Word!
If you find yourself in a difficult situation or a scenario that seems too great for you to overcome, then call to remembrance what God has done for you in the past. When we celebrate those moments remembering what God has done, we are reminded that what He has done before He can do again!
There’s no need to wait for what God has already given you. However, there IS a need to believe in yourself, and that you are gifted by God Himself to carry out His purpose for your life!
God is NOT waiting for you to make a mistake so He can put a calamity or sickness on you. It’s the devil who walks around like a roaring lion, seeking who he can devour (1 Peter 5:8)! The devil is the one trying to pervert the Word of God with evil schemes and tricks, trying to convince you that what Jesus has already done for you isn’t enough, or not really for you. Stop listening to him and focus on what God says instead!
When Peter walked on the water, he may have been surrounded by gale force winds and waves, but it didn’t matter as long as his eyes were focused on Jesus and his mind remained controlled and untroubled. We can only control what we see and what we think. If we live our lives circumstance-driven we will never see the results of faith that we desire!
