resurrection of your spirit

But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ"


(1 Corinthians 15:57, NLT

This weekend, we will be celebrating Easter, the resurrection of our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. So much happened at Calvary's cross over two thousand years ago; but ultimately, Jesus overcame sin and death so that we could have abundant life! Because of Jesus, we have victory over anything that would try to hold us back!
No matter what bondage, stronghold, sin or addiction has held you captive in the past, when you receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, you receive His power—His burden-moving, yoke-destroying anointing. Sin can't hold you back any longer because whom the Son sets free is free indeed! (See John 8:36) It all starts by believing and receiving this promise. The more you meditate on His Word, the more of His power becomes activated in you. Today, know that you are free and you have victory! Receive this truth and let it lead you to transform your being from the inside out!

God will finish what he started

I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns"

(Philippians 1:6, NLT

It's interesting that the last thing Jesus said on the cross was "it is finished." It certainly looked like the end. It looked like it was over. But I believe that wasn't just a statement of fact; it was a statement of faith. He was saying to His Father, "I've done My part. I've fulfilled My destiny. Now I've got total trust and confidence in You that You are going to finish what You started." Even though it looked like the end, in reality, it was only the beginning.

When it looks dark in your own life and things aren't going your way, dare to make that declaration of faith just like Jesus. "It is finished." What you're really saying is "God, I know You are going to turn this situation around. I know You are going to heal my body. I know You are going to restore my family. I know You are going to give me the breaks that I need." Don't go around complaining. Speak victory over your circumstances. Trust that He is faithful and that He will complete what He's started in you!

Metamorphose

One of the most amazing transformations in the Bible happened when Saul — former persecutor of Christians — encountered God on the road to Damascus (see Acts 9). After his encounter, he was so radically changed from the inside out that even his name was changed to Paul. He began preaching the gospel, and eventually, went on to write much of the New Testament.

When you have a supernatural encounter with Almighty God, something is going to happen. Something is going to be transformed inside of you and radiate out into every part of your being, affecting every part of your life! Today, I want to encourage you to prepare your heart to expect God’s supernatural touch in your life. Open the eyes of your heart to Him. I pray that you experience God in such a way that every bondage is broken off of your life, and you are forever changed by a supernatural encounter with Him!

Sail Away

WE CANNOT LIVE IN THE PAST AND PRESS INTO THE FUTURE AT THE SAME TIME.

A lesson I've learned in the last weeks is leave the past in the past. People always say " leave your past in the past" but I never took it seriously. It has been a rude awakening; but in order to move on, or press forward you MUST leave the past behind, the negativity, the nonsense and even some friends, all must be left behind.

Ive come to a crossroad in my life, and i decided to sail away!! Yup, just move forward and believe that GOD is in control.

God will give me "beauty for my ashes" (Isaiah 61:3), I have faith that the new things coming into my life is guided by God, My future is planed by god who I believe is directing my steps. God is good, I trust him and I know he will give me double of my trouble, and guide me in my new chapter of my life, as well as give me the desires of my heart.

So sail away my friends find the nearest boat, and leave your negative thoughts, past, and even negative people behind. Just keep sailing forward, pressing forward and you will see GOD working in your life.

God is WITH you and FOR you.........

Dear Friends:

Ever had days you feel all alone? Ever felt like nobody cares about your circumstances, your hurts, even your dreams?

Let me encourage you. I may not know all the specific challenges you’re facing, but these two things will make all the difference:

First, I want you to know that God is with you. Second, I want you to know that God is for you.

No matter how alone you feel, no matter how discouraged you might be...God will always be with you and for you. He’s promised it, and God doesn’t break His promises.

I pray that you will keep this incredible promise front and center in your life every day!

If you do, fear and worry won’t be able to steal your joy. The circumstances of life will not dictate your future. Sickness and financial lack will not have its way in your life. When God is with you and for you, no person, no situation, no circumstance can keep you from the blessings of God.

The same God who created the heavens and the earth, who spoke the universe into existence, who knows everything that will ever happen in your life...is WITH YOU and FOR YOU.

When God is for you, nothing can win against you. Not the pain of your past, not the mistakes you’ve made, not a bad economy or ANYTHING else on earth.

you're loved

You're Loved

You're Loved...

More than you know.

More than you see.

Deeper than you've dared to dream.

All you fear might hold you back

has been wiped away, forgiven,

covered up by grace.

The One who created you,

knows you, calls you his own,

looks at you with love

and says, "You're mine forever."

Your heart has a home

and it's not a place

but a Person who will never let you go.



Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed. Isaiah 54:10

Be Realistic and Realize

We all like to plan aheead for our lives andhave people cooperate withus. We want situations to go exactly the way we plan, but that rearly happens. this isn't negative it is truth. As believers in faith we have the power to the holy spirit to hlep us do difficult things and deal with human imperfections not to make our lives so easy that we never need to use our faith.

I urge you to expect good things to happen in your life. i also urge you to be realistic and realize that we all have to deal wiht things that are unpleasant and people who are disagreeable. Your attitude in these trying situations greatly affects your enjoyment of life. Keep your joy, stay positive and dont allow negativity to steal your peace. God is in control and he will give you the desires of your heart if you keep believing .

it is in GOD you will find Peace

Communication of our faith is made effectual by acknowledging every good thing that is in us in Christ Jesus.

I allowed outside forces to question my faith. It was  tough time, a time of suffering, i question everything about myself. I was in a pit of doubt. with love, Gods love, and friends love i have been able to feel peace and will heal. for the moment i will be still and know that god is fighting my battles. I will avoid speaking negatively about myself, because even if it does no look like it GOD is working on my and your behalf. God is on our side and it is great comfort to know that what we cant do for ourselves GOD will do for us, If we entrust ourselves to him you will see peace, feel joy and your enemies or the negative doers in our lifes will be NO more!

I encourage  that in your time of difficulties please read (Psalm 37)
belive trust and rely in god be still and rest in the lord wait for him he will bring blessings , he will give you DOUBLE for your trouble.

Let your faith put a smile on your face

I dont know who the woman in the picture is, but when i look at her i see love peace and joy and I CRAVE IT...   I think You have to believe and let your faith open the door so you can see it!



Lets  Get our hopes up! Start celebrating what God is about to do! In other words, start acting like 2011 is your year—talk like it's your year, walk like it's your year, dress like it's your year and think like it's your year! Don't make excuses. Don't come up with all the reasons why this is not for you. Be a believer; not a doubter. Get up every morning and announce it by faith, "
Then get ready for a year of abundance—abundance of joy love and peace, abundance in your health, abundance in finances. I believe and declare it's going to be an exceptional year for you and your family because I hear the sound of abundance coming your way!

He's breathing...

 

Supernatural doors are going to open up for you. Supernatural opportunities are coming your way, so don’t shrink back. The Creator of the universe has not only equipped and empowered you, but is breathing life in your direction. He’s breathing creativity. He’s breathing confidence. He’s breathing ideas. He’s breathing . As you live a life of excellence and integrity - a life that’s pleasing to the Lord and you - God is going to bring your dreams to pass. Dare to dream big. Think big. Believe big. You are totally equipped. As you take steps toward your divine destiny, God is going to release more of His favor. When you accomplish more than you thought possible that’s god going before you and preparing the way.

In His Hands

We all face situations in life that feel out of control. During times like these, it’s easy to get discouraged and allow fear to creep in; but instead, why don’t you focus on the fact that God is holding you in the palm of His hand! There is nothing too difficult for Him; nothing’s impossible; nothing is beyond His ability. When God holds you in His hand, you are safe; you are cared for. In His hand, there is victory. In His hand, there is strength. In His hand, there is provision. In His hand is everything you need.

No matter what you may be going through today, you can trust that God is for you. Instead of getting down and depressed over your circumstances, look up and get a vision of God turning that situation around. Let faith arise in your heart and focus on His favor, promotion and blessing. As you keep your heart and mind focused on Him and choose to obey His Word, you’ll see those supernatural breaks that will launch you further ahead than you ever thought possible

Its only temporary

If you are in the middle of tough times today, look to God friends and love. Look out the window and remember that your difficulty is ONLY TEMPORARY. Focus on the blessings you have, and the blessings you are about to receive.Embrace the feeling of expectancy.  God writes faith on your heart and then develops it to completion on the inside of you. He is building strength in you, He is depositing joy in you, and He is empowering you to make it through.

Today, make the decision to let go of anything that would keep you from His blessings. Make the decision to be a person of excellence and integrity. Treat others with respect and kindness and look for ways to be a blessing. Be determined to live a life that pleases God so that you can receive the abundance He has in store for you!

Dare to ASK...............

Let me challenge you to dig deep and dare to have a big dream for your life. I always say, when one dream dies, dream another dream. Don’t just settle for mediocrity, we serve a God who is above and beyond anything we can think of, and He wants to manifest His greatness through you. Remember, there’s nothing you can dream that God can’t do. Why don’t you ask Him to bring you the right people, the right opportunities, and the right resources? Trust that He is working behind the scenes on your behalf. Dare to believe and dare to dream another dream because He desires to do big things in and through you in this New Year!

new things GOD has for you

Oftentimes, people set out to accomplish their dreams, but they face a setback or disappointment, and then they feel like their time has passed.Or they feel lost, and cant seem to hold on to their dream, others have  responsibilities throws them off course. But let me tell you today, no matter where you’ve come from, no matter what’s happened in your past, God wants to make you new. He wants to give you a fresh start. If you feel like you’ve missed opportunities in your life, if you feel like your time has passed, remember, today is a new day. You are a new person, and God has new opportunities in store for you. Lift up your eyes of faith and look forward to the new thing God has for you in this New Year!

His love is upon you

Today let me reassure you that God knows right where you are, and He knows how to get you where you need to be. Even when things don’t go the way you planned, His hand AND LOVE is upon you. Do not be afraid. Trust that God is working behind the scenes on your behalf, that He will fulfill your dreams and lead you into the life of blessing that He has prepared for you.



MERRY CHIRISTMAS MY FRIENDS....... 4 DAYS AND COUNTING

the sweetest things in life are free

looks so good please have one

the end result.... enjoy

This Christmas, I encourage you to trust God a little bit more. Believe that whatever you do or give with love for —the poor, the hungry, the sick, people in prison and those who are neglected and alone—will be done for you also.


14 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS.... HAPPY HOLIDAYS MY FRIENDS

Good will come back to you........

16 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS..... HAPPY HOLIDAYS



Make this Christmas season the first of many seasons focused on what matters in life -people and the way you treat them.

Focus on doing good and good will come back to you. Don't allow yourself to be weighed down by worries and concerns; instead, trust God and do good to others because you can make a lasting impact with little gestures

Value the moments

For the last couple of days family and friend have gathered together to color. I began to join and slowly i realized what a calming and uplifting moment it was for my soul. I felt calm and spiritualy re-freshed. i realized then that iwas taking those moments for granted. it was then that i decided that coloring is a wondeful hobby

Sometimes our days can be so full and busy that we forget how fragile life really is. It’s easy to allow little things to creep in and steal our peace and joy. Maybe something doesn’t go our way or someone says something upsetting. Even traffic can cause us to lose focus if we let it. We have to remember that each day is a gift. If we choose to focus on what’s wrong, we’ll miss the beauty that each day has to offer.

I encourage you today; don’t let the precious moments of life pass you by. Don’t wait for holidays and birthdays to show people that you care. Remember, each day is unique and irreplaceable. You have been given time that can be invested or wasted; hours that can be used or misused. That’s why the psalmist prayed to God, “Teach us to number our days.”



HAPPY HOLIDAYS
19 DAYS LEFT UNTIL CHRISTMASS LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN.

Let GOD settle your case

Every person on earth has experienced difficulty. We've all had times when we've been hurt, wronged or taken advantage of. But God is a just God. Hebrews 10:30 tells us that He will repay us the exact compensation owed to us. He is the one to settle and solve the cases of His people.

Do you need a case settled today? Maybe you've had unfair things happen. Maybe somebody stole your childhood or left you with a bunch of children to raise by yourself. Perhaps a business partner cheated you, and you lost a lot of money. You could easily be angry and bitter, trying to pay them back. But instead, be encouraged because God is a just God. He knows every person who has hurt you. He has seen every person who has violated you or left you alone and afraid. Nobody else may have seen it, but God saw it; and He knew it wasn't right. Today, He is saying, "I'm going to settle your cases. I'm going to make your wrongs right."

Friend, God never brings you out the same; He always brings you out better. He will make the enemy pay for bringing that injustice into your life. Do your part and let it go. When you choose to forgive, you are handing everything over to God. When you forgive, you open the door for His forgiveness and redemption in your own live. Today, choose forgiveness and let God be your vindicator. Let Him settle your cases because He promises to repay you double in this life!

A simple key......

Have you ever woken up and thought it was the best day of your life just because you could see? It's interesting how quickly our perspective changes when we find out we might not have something that we take for granted.
I want to encourage you today to thank God for the things you've already been blessed with. If you can see, talk or walk, be grateful. If you have friends, family or opportunities, learn to appreciate them. Don't go around complaining about what's wrong; instead, change your focus. I heard somebody say once, "Instead of complaining that your hair is turning gray, be grateful that it's not turning loose!"
Staying grateful is a key to living a happy life. If you're constantly thanking God for His goodness, meditating on what He has done, thinking about how He has blessed you, you're headed in the right direction. You're opening the door for Him to move on your behalf and set you up for victory all the days of your life!

Face-to-face .........

In this day of e-mail, text messages, and cell phones, taking for personal visits is not always a priority. i myself am guilty of that. When was the last time you had a face to face visit with a fellow Friend?????

while there are many ways to communicate there is no substitute for taking time to fellowship and share your love, experiences, family, laughter and gods word with a friend. I encourage that today you stop and think of who in your life is in need of a face-to face visit..

Enjoy your journey........

Life has its course! sometime it seems you are always putting out fires, or fixing or finding solutions. We are always moving towards some objective in our lives. As soon as we finish one another will take its place We are always extending our faith one type of struggle or another. Whatever we are believing god for right now cold happen a year from now, but by that time we will be believing or praying to god about something else. I share with you that we are always will be going to spend the majority of our lives waiting for something we should learn to enjoy life as it unfolds. If we do not life will pass us by, and we will never enjoy where we are right now.. don't let struggles steal your joy today choose to be joyous at all times..

pause and reflect...

"begin with loyalty and justice with yourself" by Miguel Ruiz

"learn to see, not just beleive in what you hear but learn to see truth and speak truth" by Miguel Ruiz

do you have the courage to speak agains injustice? I will admit sometimes I allow fear to steal my joy and enthusiasm to speak against injustice. But through my friend Se'Lah I have learned that love is powerful, that one random of act of kindness can make a difference, that a smile to a stranger may bring joy.... one love...

please take a moment to read this thought-provoking post, reflecting.

Where ever you are.....

In this day and age, many people are filled with worry about their future. They live stressed out, wondering, “What’s going to happen if I get laid off?” “How am I going to handle it if my loved one doesn’t make it?” Or, “My parents are getting older. How can I take care of them and my own family as well?” Here is the answer: God’s grace is going to be there at every stage of your weather is at school, on vacation, or just sitting , praying, God will meet you where ever you are in life to help you do whatever you need to do.
See, God’s grace is what saves us, but that’s not all. Grace is God’s enabling power. His grace will give you the strength, wisdom and favor to accomplish what you could not normally accomplish on your own. His grace is sufficient for whatever you need in your future.

But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out His special favor on me — and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by His grace”(1 Corinthians 15:10, NLT)

Focus on Love.....

Let me encourage you to get up every day and focus on what you do have in life. Be thankful for the blessings of the little things, even when you don't get what you expect. As you keep your mind and heart focused in the right direction, approaching each day with faith and gratitude, I believe you will be empowered to live life to the fullest and enjoy the abundant life He has promised you!

"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NIV).
