God Can Carry You...................

For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh. Romans 8:3

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

It does not matter how many great messages Christians hear, it does not matter what church they go to, or how long they have had a relationship with God, for whatever reason, when a trial comes they panicked. I have been guilty as well. Friends, there must come a time when you and I decide to have complete faith in God's ability to carry us. He promised that He will and that should be enough. We must must not be afraid every time trouble comes our way. We must understand that God is the Almighty. He can do all things.  If for nothing else, we must trust Him because He already saved us for eternal damnation by sending His son Jesus Christ to die at Calvary. God should be trusted. 

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7

Cancer has been quite problematic in recent years. This disease is not one to take lying down. It is not fun to go through it, but  people are cured of all kinds of cancer on a daily basis.  MS, Heart Disease, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Kidney, Thyroid, and Liver Disease have scared a few people as well, but dear friends, our God is bigger than Cancer. God is greater than all of those diseases put together.  I am not minimizing the devastation of any of the diseases. I have had first hand experience with some of them. I am fully aware of what they do to the body, and the mind. Still, I believe we can overcome. We know the name of the  Great Overcomer.

But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats. 1 Peter 3:14

The issues of finances have concerned the world since the beginning of time but God is the creator of the universe. He is the ultimate giver. He has already given us His best. May I remind you again that God sacrificed His best for our salvation?  There is nothing that God will no do for you and I. We just have to trust God. Listen, God cares about everything about us. Surely He does not want us to be hungry. Christ fed the poor when He lived among us. He can and will make a way. He will carry you. He will make a way for your family. Trust God.

Do not tremble; do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim my purposes for you long ago? You are my witnesses—is there any other God? No! There is no other Rock—not one. Isaiah 44:8

Bad days do not exist. It is a concept that the devil develop to defeat us. Every day is an opportunity to experience God's glory.Every problem is an opportunity to experience Jehovah Nissi at His best.

 Just recently I was going through what I then perceived as a bad day. I woke up late. I had meetings plan up to 12 hours. I left without my wallet. I was running out of gas. I got stuck in heavy traffic. I was about to explode! I was hysterical and wondered why everything had to go wrong. So I was extremely late and had to apologize to a few people, but I survived. I lived to see another day.

For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears.He will rejoice over you with joyful songs. Zephania 3:17

 Listen friends, do not sweat the small stuff. So you missed out on a job or business opportunity, or you missed a game or an events, whatever it may me that seems so important. Do not sweat it. Don't let anything shake your faith in God. Whatever it is, you will get passed it. Keep your eyes on what to come for certain: Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will soon be here to take us with Him, whoohoo! One day very soon, perhaps today, Christ will be here, and we will leave this world with all its sufferings.  The promise of Christ should fill our hearts with hope and joy that nothing can change. Nothing else really matter. What is being late to a meeting compares to eternity? What you are facing today and what is pressing you so heavily will soon pass. The love of God is the only thing that survives the test of times.

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. Romans 8:38-39

I do not own the rights to this song but I fell in love with it. I pray that you will let it bless you. Remember God cares. He will carry you.

The Wisdom of God.........

Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will know how to find the right course of action every time .For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy. Proverbs 2:6-10

It is well documented that king Solomon was most likely the author of the Book of Proverbs. Christians call it the wisdom book. King Solomon was wise and his wisdom was a gift from God. You and I can have that similar wisdom by studying book of Proverbs, by following its advice and most importantly by keeping our focus on God. It is all about God. Everything we do should be about God and for His glory.

It is vital that you and I understand that there is a real spiritual warfare and that there a common enemy. . He is devious. He is known as the adversary, the appolyon or destroyer, the beast, the lawless one, the thief, the tempter, the evil one,  the deceiver, the liar, the accuser, the wicked one, the murderer, and the ruler of this world. He really exists and none of his names can be attributed to anything nice or something to take as a joke. He seems to have a certain kind of power.  He will "try" to back you into a corner and use whatever opening you allow yourself to have. It is very important to understand how the devil works. He cannot take a place you don't give him. By acting like a victim, he will turn you into one and by acting weak, you will become weak. But Jesus died for our victory. 

Jesus won at Calvary and you and I can also win through Christ. We are strong through His strength. If like me you grew up without a parent or both of them, or maybe you grew up without people who care about you enough to lead you right should not make you feel inadequate or unloved in any way. You already have the wisest  and powerful Father on your side. He is the El shaddai, Elohim, Adonai, the Avenger, Abba, Almighty, All in All, Alpha, Amen, the Holy One and the Fortress. You are the heir of the King of kings, His resources (all of them) are available to you, used them. Talk to your father, rely on His wisdom and walk from victory to victory. Not having the proper guidance cause us to be indecisive and being indecisive comes directly from the devil. Live with conviction, God's conviction. Stand firm on you father’s Word. Be attentive to His guidance and you will experience a freedom you never thought possible. Praise God!

You may not have parents or friends to rely on for guidance in times of need, your husband may not understand you, but God knows you inside and out, He made you, and He knows exactly what you need and more importantly He knows how to fulfill your heart's desires. Do you need more wisdom ask Him and you shall receive it. "If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking." James 1:5

Would you let Him take care of you today? Could you stop complaining about what you don't have for a moment and enjoy whom you do have? A Wise and loving Father who never slumber nor sleep (Psalms 121:3-4). His wisdom surpasses all understanding frustrates the intelligence of the intelligent. You face face  any force and still come out victorious with Jehovah -Nissi on your side.

Dear friend, once you understand God you will also stand in awe of his infinite wisdom, in awe of His love, and in awe of who He really is. Let Him guide you and follow the road He placed ahead of you. Move forward without fear. Rely on the wisdom of God and be blessed! 

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9

Praise the Lord!
