Isaiah 40:31...Renew your strength and rise above!!!

    
A crow likes to annoy & bother the eagle but the eagle does not fight against the crow because the eagle knows he can fly above & beyond the crow could ever possibly. So instead of fighting an unnecessary battle the eagle rises above.  Like the eagle we should rise above not fighting any unnecessary battles. Focus on the battles that are to bring us closer to our God given gifts & purpose. Fighting to reach God's best for our lives is the only fight we should be fighting.  We mustn't waste our energy and precious time on trying to get approval of someone who is clearly against you and your God given abilities. Or to prove your point or prove you are worthy of praise or maybe you are fighting to be better than others, remember that the person or situation being fought against or struggling for approval is not at all what or who we are to be focused on. Our focus should be on the Almighty, the Most High our Heavenly Father.   
     You may have people who are against your God given abilities or talents they will not celebrate and embrace you. They will be jealous and gossip, they will be critical with negativity, these are distractions the enemy puts in our path to keep us from fulfilling His purpose for our lives. They will always find something bad or wrong in what you are doing or trying to do. Be like the eagle and rise above jealousy & negativity.
     Sometimes the closer you get to God and the more favor God exhibits in your life the more the naysayers will criticize you and come against you making the battle harder and the more discouraged you become. Always seems to be judging you or questioning you in a derogatory way.  They may even question your motives but you have to remember to focus on God and his wisdom; He will fight those battles for you. His approval is the only one to compete for and to seek.  If you keep your focus on him He will put the right people in your path and around you. Ones that will celebrate and support you, ones that will encourage you not discourage you.
    Jesus didn't listen to his critics but ignored them and continued on his righteous path with faith and confidence.  He did not worry about the mockers or the ones who didn't want to listen. He was steadfast and did what he was called to do, Glorify His Heavenly Father.  King Saul would listen to the jealous ones but when would follow God's path for his life, God was right there to help him succeed.

Are you living up to your full potential or are you letting people discourage and keeping you from God's best in your life?   Be who God has called you to be, don't listen to what people are telling you, have confidence in yourself and step out in faith.  Remember God knew before you were born, Jeremiah 1:5...
“ Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
      Before you were born I sanctified you;"

Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. Heavenly Father, I ask You to renew our strength, the ones that wait upon You: that we shall mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not be weary we will walk and not faint. Heavenly Father, we thank You that You will renew our strength, the ones that wait upon You: that we shall mount up with.  Wings like eagles, they will run and not be weary we will walk and not faint.  In the Name of Jesus Christ I pray...Amen!

"But those who wait on the LORD
      Shall renew their strength;
      They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
      They shall run and not be weary,
      They shall walk and not faint."
Isaiah 40:31

By His Wounds....

Heavenly Father, I thank You that we have received from Jesus Christ the victory over all diseases, afflictions, infirmities, hindrances, persecutions, torments and lies that the enemy is trying to send our way now or in the future. We claim victory and deliverance from all demonic spirits, curses, hexes, vexes, enchantments, witchcraft prayers, physic prayers or spells.  We thank You that Jesus Christ is victorious through the power of His might against all the manipulating of the devil;against powers and rulers of darkness of this world and against the spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephasians 6:10-12.....   "A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. "

We claim our victory in faith through our salvation and by His wounds we are healed and released of all things now.  We declare according to Job 22:27-28.....
27 You will pray to him, and he will hear you,
      and you will fulfill your vows to him.
 28 You will succeed in whatever you choose to do,
      and light will shine on the road ahead of you.
 that WE ARE victorious through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, in His Holy Name we pray ....Amen!

Seeing through Darkness

 There are times you just can't see through the darkness that seems to closing in around you.  It is in those times the strength and patience of your faith is stretched and you learn to trust God even when you can't hear His voice.
   You can grow in your confidence level to the point where "knowing" is even better than "hearing."  You may be unsure of what to do but it is enough to know there is one who does know. We all like specific direction; however, when you don't have it, knowing God IS faithful and ever true to His promise, and that He has promised to be with us always, is comforting and keeps us stable until His timing comes to illuminate the situation.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for favor in our lives and the wisdom to know You are faithful. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.  1 Corinthians 1:9 (NKJV)  Through our faith we can endure and trust that in your divine timing we will see through the darkness.  We will be patient.  We will be steadfast. And we will stand in confidence in Your promises.  Through You, O gracious Lord, we can endure and be victorious.  In Jesus name...Amen!

EnJOY the Journey

 

Psalm 100 (NIV)

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness;
   come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
   It is he who made us, and we are his;
   we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
   and his courts with praise;
   give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
   his faithfulness continues through all generations. 
 
  We are always headed somewhere but not many us are enjoying the trip.  It would terrible to think if you end your journey and at the end of your journey you realize that you have not enjoyed life to its fullest.  I sometimes think that I have to do something really great and in the mix of it all I forget to see the simple things that bless the Lord.  Serving the Lord with gladness, He rejoices when our hearts are filled with joy and our mouths are filled with praise.  Strive to finish the race with joy and be determined to finish your course, as Paul did.  Whatever your present purpose is, whatever you are called to do, wherever you are called to go enjoy the journey.  Don't waste one day of the precious life God has given you.  Rejoice in the LORD!!

More than a Conqueror

    Do we only attain victory by somehow avoid having problems?  I think victory is not being free of problems, the Lord never said that we would be problem free or that it would be easy to walk with Him.  True victory for the child of God comes when there is still peace in the soul in the middle of the raging storm....when tragedy happens and one can still say, "All is well with my soul."  This can only happen when you are looking at Jesus instead of your circumstances.  A key to having victory is understanding it only comes "through Him who loves us."   No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. Romans 8:37 (NIV)
     If and when you are facing problems that seem to overwhelming to overcome, remember you are a conqueror through Him.  Allow God to strengthen your inner man or woman.  When you are strong inside you can defeat anything that comes against you.

Father God, through the power of the Holy Spirit,  We receive Your strength....We are  CONQUERORS through YOU!  We know that You are in control and through You all things are possible.  We trust and give You authority over our circumstances, health, and finances.  We speak victory over our lives and those we are connected to.....In Jesus name....Amen!
