Scripture says in Philippians 4:4, “Rejoice in the Lord always. And again, I say rejoice!” These are victory keys! Take any unbelief, expose it and bring it before God. It’s real and it’s attacking your mind. And then give glory to God, rejoicing in what belongs to us in the name of Jesus. And your faith shall be made strong!

The devil and his world system cannot hold back what God has promised for His children! Your part is to start each day with fresh expectation, believing and focusing on what God’s Word has promised to you as His dearly loved child!

The day you receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord, life takes on wonderful new meaning! You discover that you are an entirely new, unique being, because the living God now lives IN you, giving you the ability to know His love for you and all that this means. You now realize what a privilege life really is—each day, each breath is a privilege, and an opportunity to demonstrate the life and love of Jesus in the earth!

I want to encourage you today to expect God to answer you when you cry out for His mercy. He’s waiting on US—He’s already done everything that He could possibly ever do! Now it’s OUR opportunity to reach out and to grab by faith this mercy that has been provided for us by the Merciful One, who has made everything we will ever need available to us today!

Jesus is still performing the miracles that He did 2,000 years ago on the shore of the Galilee through faithful believers like you and me. And, both then and now, Jesus is NOT intimidated by demons, sickness, sin, lack, or even death! He was, and continues to be, a Master over every circumstance, bringing victory into every situation!

The Bible is God’s medicine for you, because by reading the Bible you strengthen your faith. Then as Jesus said, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes” (Mark 9:23). The Apostle Paul wrote, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). This is why it is so important to read the Bible—to take God’s medicine!

As you go through your day today, be the person to introduce Jesus to those caught up in the hectic rat race of this chaotic world. Be the warning light that causes them to take their foot off the gas and move it over to the brake. Be the important interruption between where they are now, and their final destination!

Jesus said in John 6:35, “I am the bread of life, and whoever comes to me will never hunger, and the one who believes on me will never thirst.” Have you pulled up to the table today and taken hold of the promises that God has for you?

Moses sent twelve men to spy out the land. Ten of the spies saw themselves as mere grasshoppers in the sight of the giants that lived in the land. But two of the spies had a different perspective. They saw the giants through God’s eyes and declared, “these giants are bread for us!” (Numbers 14:9 KJV). When everyone around you is talking about giants, who are you going to believe—the grasshoppers, or GOD?

Scripture tells us in the book of Hebrews that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. What does that mean for you? That means that if 2,000 years ago He healed, He forgave sin, He died for one person—then throughout all of time and eternity this same Jesus died for you, forgave you, loves you, lives to give you life, and came back from the dead so you could experience all that He has for you!
