GOD IS FAITHFUL TO HIS PROMISES

Hebrews 10:23 NIV Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.

Last year our church was given a list of 31 declarations to speak over our lives each day of the month and one of them is this, “I declare everything and anything that has been lost or stolen is being restored. I am pursuing, overtaking and getting back everything the enemy has taken. (Joel 2:25; 1 Samuel 30:8).

I wonder has the enemy ever stolen anything from you? Was it your confidence, your health, your peace of mind, your finances, your job, your relationships? It could be any number of things that the enemy has stolen from us because John 10:10 tells us the thief (Satan) comes to steal, kill and destroy if we’ll let him. But the good news is God has given us authority over the enemy, Jesus defeated Him for us at the Cross.

God says to put our faith in His promises and believe Him for restoration because He says He will give us double blessings for our trouble. Zechariah 9:12 NLT Come back to the place of safety, all you prisoners who still have hope I promise this very day that I will repay two blessings for each of your troubles.

What a promise to lay a hold of! God can make up to you whatever has been stolen in ways that we don’t know or understand because He is a faithful God, faithful to His word and if He promises it, then we can believe it, claim it for ourselves and receive it by faith today. 

Have you had some trouble? Then today would be a good day to start thanking God for His faithfulness, that He’s restoring to you double blessings for your trouble. Let’s believe it!😊 Amen.

Have a blessed weekend.x😊

OUT OF THE HUMDRUM

 Psalm 139:16 NLT You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

Life can seem very humdrum when we go through the routines of the week, when one day runs into another and before you know it we’re at Friday again!😊

I was praying and asking the Lord about it, asking Him to lift us up out of the humdrum, to learn to see each day as a blessing of God that He has already written in His book for our lives. God doesn’t write humdrum books! He writes books of purpose, of passion and possibilities, but we have to enter into them!

Now there’s a thought! We all have a purpose in this life to praise and thank God for all His goodness to us, to love Him because He first loved us. When we do that we’re entering into His passion for us, so we have a passion for Him and His kingdom, a passion to save the lost.

Each day is a day of possibilities, of new horizons, of trying something different, go a different way to walk the dog, try some French toast instead of cereal for breakfast!  We may not be able to change where we go, but we can go new places in our thinking - entering into the thoughts of God on every subject we touch that day. 

We might even be bedridden, but our thoughts are not! We may be housebound, or caught in a mundane job, but our spirits can still soar like eagles into spiritual realms where we can pray and move mountains not only in our own lives, but the lives of others, and change the course of nations! The possibilities with God are endless! We can be difference makers, because God hears every prayer.😊

Humdrum? Not really, not when we understand we are a spiritual being who happens to live in a physical body regardless of age. God says our spirit man is being renewed everyday.

I pray your day will be filled with God’s purpose, His passion and His possibilities, that you will see it doesn’t have to be humdrum after all.😊 In Jesus name. Amen.
