The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." John 10:11<div><br /></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>What should that mean to you?</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>It means that Jesus is capable of taking care of all your needs. He is your healer, your provider, your protector, your help, and your best friend. It means that you can walk in victory with nothing to fear because He is doing the fighting for you. There are many things that you may be lacking right now. Perhaps you feel sick in your body or loved ones are afflicted with an illness. Maybe your finances are being challenged, it could be your marriage that needs a miracle. The truth is that you cannot change anything. You are fighting to gain control without success because it is not your job. You are called to have faith in the Good Shepherd and leave your worries to Him.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>How should you apply this knowledge?</b></div><div><br /></div><div>"Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never permit the righteous to be moved." <b>Psalm 55:22</b></div><div><br /></div><div>"Casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you."<b> 1 Peter 5:7</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>It is important to remember that God is Omniscient and Omnipresent. He knows everything and He is everywhere. He knows what you are going through and He is with you always. The challenges of this world should not move you because you already knew that they would come. Your job is to bring them at the Shepherd's feet and keep on living a life of faith fully aware that the Good Shepherd will not let you down. If He gave His life for you, there is nothing else He wouldn't do for you. You must know this truth and let your heart be consumed by it. No matter what you see or hear, hold on to that truth.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>What should you do now?</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>The word of God in <b>Romans 8:2</b>8 says, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God (<b>the Good Shepherd</b>), to them who are called according to his purpose."</div><div><br /></div><div>You and I have to put our faith in the Good Shepherd and march on through the challenges of this world with the assurance that we are His and that He will protect us and guide us to green pastures as promised in <b>Psalm 23:2.</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Praise the Lord!</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Joline G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17378432861563514082noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-742698185829028255.post-56373737420667840582020-11-08T18:00:00.019-11:002022-04-24T06:45:07.256-11:00Peace, Be Still!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPrE7XA_OTOCsRtXT62G3NV_2N8pxHULGBc76KYHyswsm2QWhuYjIYFXyrzpkTMsr7zEQJVeMFj9nsXUd7fBEOvyda0UKCMy3dxfYue2jqjRPw4y0UpHD2fyfy0QDMAl0_aCKLSy5kYvs/s1600/jesus_storm_calms_4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></a></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFoANP1Yd_6CzDs0nDa3YGyJQKqVxSkN_tzOe3UE2HMfnVSbeXGTiOHgR8NB9QRRwozR_MHM-I361USU13LOeNKOHBTpoPOfe5hoePz1rydFJsB5CX8Gyl8FpkMZPZiHQjkgUIlx-5HBM/s4032/20201107_122041.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFoANP1Yd_6CzDs0nDa3YGyJQKqVxSkN_tzOe3UE2HMfnVSbeXGTiOHgR8NB9QRRwozR_MHM-I361USU13LOeNKOHBTpoPOfe5hoePz1rydFJsB5CX8Gyl8FpkMZPZiHQjkgUIlx-5HBM/s320/20201107_122041.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br />Peace, Be Still!</td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">The disciples went and woke him, saying master, Master we are going to drown! He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. (Luke 8: 24)<br /><br />www.bibletourwithjoline.com/dailydevotions.asp<br />www.bibletourwithjoline.blogspot.com<br />www.bibletouravecjoline.blogspot.com<br /><br />This is a story that you most likely know well: Jesus told his disciples to go the other side of the Sea of Galilee with him, as they sailed, He fell asleep. During the trip, a large storm comes up. It was so large that the boat threatens to sink. The disciples thought that they were all going to die, but they remember that Jesus was with them, they went down and woke him up and He ordered the storm to stop, and immediately (naturally) all was calm.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHJkIyeU-QInmc5UwM_XLX_aUHTcyEoyWD3M1KmsKms2gUiz-KLwfr9UxfrkRnkD1cjM1Nh9N8oc07QlYTcOdiEhdEUEGmNVAArAwnCchTZwNI9lqSVnKqKe3dZNs59RKFOnU9YmHogYQ/s1600/needgodpeace1.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHJkIyeU-QInmc5UwM_XLX_aUHTcyEoyWD3M1KmsKms2gUiz-KLwfr9UxfrkRnkD1cjM1Nh9N8oc07QlYTcOdiEhdEUEGmNVAArAwnCchTZwNI9lqSVnKqKe3dZNs59RKFOnU9YmHogYQ/s200/needgodpeace1.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>I believe that it was part of Christ's mission to teach us how to have dominion over the storms of our lives. Everything that He accomplished while living among us was to teach that same lesson. Christ is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent; He knew what was happening. Nothing was ever by accident and nothing ever caught Him by surprise. He could have been easy to spare the disciples all the aggravations but it did not. One has to ask why? I do not know for sure, but I think that He let them face storms for the same purpose we go through our storms today: He was trying to teach them and us how to deal with the storms. Christ did not call on God the Father to calm the storm; He did not panic or go into hiding. He calmly, unmoved, unshaken, but confidently ordered the storm to stop on His own authority. It is awesome to have a Savior who can even control nature. Friend, you and I do not have to let our challenges overwhelm us. We can stay calm. We too can experience God kind of peace because He is always in control.<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmrW_a9-9f_cLH5B4bJKsDC22TkX2kqqO4aJaX14CCO6dLxd9TPzwiscZfwL-rLGrAShVLBfwSghfgZ1UFkrhsmyi3RUOjbAsWDidEO3b1wjVXMuzxw2KkZrdFXHb3kuzmX43Q7hiFfWM/s1600/peace01.gif" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="151" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmrW_a9-9f_cLH5B4bJKsDC22TkX2kqqO4aJaX14CCO6dLxd9TPzwiscZfwL-rLGrAShVLBfwSghfgZ1UFkrhsmyi3RUOjbAsWDidEO3b1wjVXMuzxw2KkZrdFXHb3kuzmX43Q7hiFfWM/s200/peace01.gif" width="200" /></a></div>God created us to have dominion over the creation. He created us to be like Him in every way. He created us to be (little gods) on earth. We have the power and the ability to accomplish amazing things if we would just believe Philippians 4:13. Friends if we would just own up to our identity as sons and daughters of God, we would do great things also. We are heirs of the Almighty God. Glory! We don’t bow down before our obstacles but we overcome them. We don’t panic in front of our walls but we bring them down in the name of Jesus.<br /><br /><br />Friend, There is something about Jesus that brings changes. His presence brings calm and peace. You can sleep like a baby with Jesus in your life. There is no need to fear in the midst of chaos and hardship of our daily lives. I don’t know what kind of situation you are facing and I don’t know how dangerous and desperate your situation seems to be, but I know that Jesus' presence will bring you peace. Friend, when you encounter hardships you can do what Christ did. He is our example. Take dominance over the storms and you will experience great miracles.</div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"> <br />The disciples made the mistake of calling on the Lord at the last minute. Talk to God on a daily basis and know a peace you never thought possible.<br /><br />Praise the Lord! <br /></div>Joline G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17378432861563514082noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-742698185829028255.post-84769404363374638022020-01-03T06:19:00.000-11:002020-04-29T06:21:06.596-11:00Your Move!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

"Be alert, your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8<br />
<br />

<br />
We have been learning about the things that made the Devil feel at home in our lives. The list is quite long, we will not continue to cover examples. You understand by now that anything that does not glorify God in your life attracts the Devil.<br />
<br />
You can pray, you can fast, you can ask people to lay hands on you and cast the Devil out of your life, but I can assure you that nothing will change until you repent and make the quality decision to stop Satan's influence over your life. You have to be willing. Now it does not matter what area of your life need the change, it can be victory over sins, it can be restoration of your mind and soul, or physical health, it can be emotional wholeness, nothing will change until you make the cautious decision to get "your" victory. Remember, Jesus had asked the man at the pool of Bethesda, wilt thou be whole? (John 5:6). He did not ask him would you like to be well? The man had to be willing in order to receive healing.<br />
<br />
God sent Jesus to the cross to carry our burdens, to give us victory over sins and to make us whole. He bore our sicknesses, He carried our diseases, and He already won every battle "you are facing by His death on Calvary, but it takes decision from your part to receive the victory you are searching for. It requires determination on your part before you can actually achieve victory. Decide to be free today.<br />
<br />
Accept you freedom by faith, in the Holy name of Jesus.<br />

Praise the Lord!</div>

Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes. Mark 9:23<br />

A few years ago, the local college where I used to teach allowed the students to watch the inaugural of president Obama in the classroom, and the common theme in my class discussions was “all things are possible if you believe”. All of a sudden, my students believe that they can reach mountains and live a life without limitations. It was an attitude that brought me much joy; but my question to them was, all things are possible if you believe.....in what? It is great to make such powerful statement but something is definitely missing from it. Don't you think? It is not a complete sentence. The majority of the adults students stated that the missing part of the statement is "if you believe in yourself." Really if you believe in yourself? Can anyone live a minute longer, if he believes in himself? I think not. You can believe in yourself by acknowledging the grace of God given to you through the savior Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that all things are made possible. Jesus alone can provide that boost that cross us from a life of limitation to a limitless possibilities.<br />

Friend, do you believe that Jesus is in action in your life right this moment, by His Spirit, lift burdens, breathe life into your forgotten dreams, those that were impossible to come to completion without him? Do you believe in His ability to do exceedingly abundantly far above what you can ask or think even far beyond your wildest dreams? Do you believe He remains the same today, yesterday and forever? Do you believe He has all power in heaven and on earth to do according to His will? Why do you still worry about health? You say you believe but do you really? God can heal you inside and out. He is able. Do you believe? Your dead dreams will come to life. You can conceive. You can be debts free. Decide this year that Cancer, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and Heart diseases are not in charge. God should be the driving force in your life. Only God is worthy of first place in your life and only Him makes all things possible ....... to those who believe. He listens when we pray according to His will. Praise the lord! And friend, this is exactly why you and I need to know His will so that we can pray according to His will. It is only when you believe in God’s power and abilities your confidence to move mountains will be boosted. When you know His will, you pray His Word and as you pray His will, and it is your faith in Him that causes us to surmount all barriers.<br />
<br />
Friend, all things are possible when you believe......in Christ and Christ alone. The doors of impossibilities can only be taken down upon His command. Jesus is Lord!<br />
<br />
Praise the Lord!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">The LORD says: 'Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet. Psalms 110:1</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. 2 Corinthians 2:14</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">What is it you are supposed to do while being persecuted?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">The Lord says to sit at His right and He will make your enemy a footstool for your feet. Never has He made it your victory clearer. Your enemies cannot win, as long as you sit at His right; being at His right means a powerful place, "Under your feet" means "where you have destroyed them". Now, God knew that His people (old and young) were going to have opposition and that they would have enemies, but He guaranteed victory.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"><br /></span>

<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">The enemies are not just people. They could be the circumstances of your life: Sicknesses and pain, inability to find a job, or a spouse to share your life. The enemy could be your or inability to conceive a child or it could be any type of financial challenge, but God already made you a promise of abundance and all you have to do is accept it. You can do that by meditating and believe that you received. All of His promises are yours to keep. If you are a believer, you are a descendant of Abraham, David and Jacob. God will lift up your head; you shall not be the tail. Praise the Lord! You may be going through right now but it will not last. It will have to stop; it is a promise of God to you. Your health will be restored. Your neighbors are going to stop persecuting you. This situation with your boss is going to end. Your marriage is going to be restored and love ones are going to come to the Lord. It is done.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Let your mouth be filled with praise, have the knowledge that the evil doers and the circumstances of your life are temporary. God will restore you and place you back in place of honor and abundance. Align your thoughts with God words and soon, very soon the victory you already have in the supernatural will manifest itself in the natural.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Friend, you cannot forget who you are in Christ. You are more than a conqueror. You cannot give up. Victory is yours. Victory was won at Calvary. The devil is a liar. Your situation is not hopeless. Doctors can be wrong. Hold on to the truth. Hold on to Christ. Have a blessed weekend and be positive! Know that your life is about to change,and that you are going to experience God limitless ability to change your circumstances. Be ready, your cup is going to be filled. It is a promise of God.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Praise the Lord!</span></div>

How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 36:7<br />

David was a very spiritual man. God said "a man after my own heart"). He admitted he had challenges and expressed them through song in his psalms. The reality is there are so many people struggling through life with one form of challenge or another. I think what happens is that when we go through hard times, somehow we feel like we are the only one going through it. We tend to feel like no one else has been through this or even see the vulnerable places of our heart and can relate to what’s going on in your life. We tend to forget that we still have God on our side, and He is the one who really matters. God wants us to trust Him. He does provide for those who put their trust in Him. When He wanted to provide for Abraham, He tested his faith by asking him to sacrifice his only son (we know that God did not spare his own son for our salvation). God wants us to trust Him. He does provide for those who put their trust in Him. When He wanted to provide for Abraham, He tested his faith by asking him to sacrifice his only son (we know that God did not spare His own son for our salvation). A man of God has this to say about faith "Faith isn’t believing in God in spite of evidence but it is obeying in spite of consequences."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Some Christians still count on their own abilities. When in trouble, they get discouraged if they are unable to see a way out. They worry time and again and finally, in absolute frustration and when they have exhausted all they know to do, they finally surrender and declare that it's now "in God's hands?" Friend, God should not be your last resort. He is our first and only hope, God will really provide for those who trust in and understand that He is indeed Jehovah Jireh. After analyzing my life, from childhood to today and after reading my Bible thoroughly, I am convinced that is NOTHING that cannot do. God can do all things. "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist" Colossians 1:16-17. As believers in Christ, you and I must trust the Lord. When troubles come, we must trust that God it all under control and that He has our best interest at heart. The True Believer does not ask why he should trust God; instead, he asks, "How can I trust God more fully?" The true believer does not ask why this and that has happened or haven’t happened to me, he instead invite God to use him as He sees fit.<br />
<br />
God loves us and wants to help us with ALL our problems (from a broken nail, loss of employment, to our struggle with Diabetes, Cancer, High Blood Pressure, to our broken relationships and our emotional trials). All we have to do is let Him in. He wants to help. He wants to be in our lives. He wants us to experience His peace but we need to read and meditate on the Word to know him better. We can only trust someone we know. Friend, get to know God. Let Him be to you what He already is: Your creator, your provider, your healer, you joy, your peace, your salvation and your everything. Let not your heart be discouraged. He is able!<br />
<br />
No weapons of disease, no weapons of death, no weapons formed against you shall prosper. Trust God. the adversary cannot win.<br />
<br />
Be saved! Be healed! Be delivered!<br />
<br />
<b>"The fear of man brings a snare: but whoever puts his trust in the LORD shall be safe" (Proverbs 29:25)</b><br />
<br />
Praise the Lord!</div>

for who He is. 2018 was something else, but we serve The Living God! He was
everything we know Him to be: loving, faithful, omniscient, comforter and many
more. Boy did He show Himself in 2018! For those of you who know me personally,
you are aware that I buried my father late last year. The pain of watching him
transition is still very much raw. My heart aches so much still, but God has
been slowly and effectively healing the parts of me that are broken.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am confident that soon enough I will

something new, let us try something new as well. Let us trust Him more. Let us
love our neighbors more. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let us give
more. Let us look more like Him every day. Let us make the decision to do

Never has He made it your victory clearer. Your enemies cannot win, as long as you sit at His right; being at His right means a powerful place, "Under your feet" means "where you have destroyed them". Now, God knew that His people (old and young) were going to have opposition and that they would have enemies, but He guaranteed victory.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">The enemies are not just people. They could be the circumstances of your life: Sicknesses and pain, inability to find a job, or a spouse to share your life. The enemy could be your or inability to conceive a child or it could be any type of financial challenge, but God already made you a promise of abundance and all you have to do is accept it. You can do that by meditating and believe that you received. All of His promises are yours to keep. If you are a believer, you are a descendant of Abraham, David and Jacob. God will lift up your head; you shall not be the tail. Praise the Lord! You may be going through right now but it will not last. It will have to stop; it is a promise of God to you. Your health will be restored. Your neighbors are going to stop persecuting you. This situation with your boss is going to end. Your marriage is going to be restored and love ones are going to come to the Lord. It is done.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br />

God will restore you and place you back in place of honor and abundance. Align your thoughts with God words and soon, very soon the victory you already have in the supernatural will manifest itself in the natural.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Friend, you cannot forget who you are in Christ.

Have a blessed week, be positive, your life is about to change, you are going to experience God limitless ability to change your circumstances. Be ready, your cup is going to be filled.

How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. Psalm 36:7<br />

David was a very spiritual man. God said "a man after my own heart"). He admitted he had challenges and expressed them through song in his psalms. The reality is there are so many people struggling through life with one form of challenge or another. I think what happens is that when we go through hard times, somehow we feel like we are the only one going through it. We tend to feel like no one else has been through this or even see the vulnerable places of our heart and can relate to what’s going on in your life. We tend to forget that we still have God on our side, and He is the one who really matters. God wants us to trust Him. He does provide for those who put their trust in Him. When He wanted to provide for Abraham, He tested his faith by asking him to sacrifice his only son (we know that God did not spare his own son for our salvation). God wants us to trust Him. He does provide for those who put their trust in Him. When He wanted to provide for Abraham, He tested his faith by asking him to sacrifice his only son (we know that God did not spare His own son for our salvation). A man of God has this to say about faith "Faith isn’t believing in God in spite of evidence but it is obeying in spite of consequences."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Some Christians still count on their own abilities. When in trouble, they get discouraged if they are unable to see a way out. They worry time and again and finally, in absolute frustration and when they have exhausted all they know to do, they finally surrender and declare that it's now "in God's hands?" Friend, God should not be your last resort. He is our first and only hope, God will really provide for those who trust in and understand that He is indeed Jehovah Jireh. After analyzing my life, from childhood to today and after reading my Bible thoroughly, I am convinced that is NOTHING that cannot do. God can do all things. "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist" Colossians 1:16-17. As believers in Christ, you and I must trust the Lord. When troubles come, we must trust that God it all under control and that He has our best interest at heart. The True Believer does not ask why he should trust God; instead, he asks, "How can I trust God more fully?" The true believer does not ask why this and that has happened or haven’t happened to me, he instead invite God to use him as He sees fit.<br />
<br />
God loves us and wants to help us with ALL our problems (from a broken nail, loss of employment, to our struggle with Diabetes, Cancer, High Blood Pressure, to our broken relationships and our emotional trials). All we have to do is let Him in. He wants to help. He wants to be in our lives. He wants us to experience His peace but we need to read and meditate on the Word to know him better. We can only trust someone we know. Friend, get to know God. Let Him be to you what He already is: Your creator, your provider, your healer, you joy, your peace, your salvation and your everything. Let not your heart be discouraged. He is able!<br />
<br />
No weapons of disease, no weapons of death, no weapons formed against you shall prosper. Trust God. the adversary cannot win.<br />
<br />
Be saved! Be healed! Be delivered!<br />
<br />
<b>"The fear of man brings a snare: but whoever puts his trust in the LORD shall be safe" (Proverbs 29:25)</b><br />
<br />
Praise the Lord!</div>

As the two walked on together, Isaac spoke to his father Abraham. "Father!" he said. "Yes, son," he replied. Isaac continued, "Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the sheep for the holocaust?" "Son," Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the sheep for the holocaust." Then the two continued going forward. Genesis 22:7-8<br />

Friend, God does not see into the future. He knows it. Abraham trusted God to provide a lamb for the sacrifice, and just when he was about to kill his only son, God stepped in and offer a substitute. God is indeed our provider and we should trust Him to take care of all of our needs. I absolutely love the way God steps in my own life. Every time I think that it is over, every time I think that I am at the end of my rope, He releases another inch of his ever-long rope. "My son God will provide" was Abraham reply to Isaac and in due time God did provide, and then Abraham honored God by calling Him the provider.<br />

God had provided for him in the time of his extremity, so He will provide for all of those that put their trust in Him. The God of Abraham is alive, and let His name be praised, and let us rest assured that, as certainly as Abraham, Jacob and Daniel in distress, the Lord appeared for them and was seen, God shall be with you and I when times of extreme pressure come. We shall all be tried and tested, but in our utmost need God will see to our deliverance, if we would just trust Him. The Lord is the Provider of men. Friend, I pray and long for all of us to get this truth firmly planted in our hearts. I pray that you let yourself be reminded of Abraham and all of those before us who trusted God to be their provider and were not even once deceived.<br />

God is no respecter of man. What He's done for one, He certainly can and will do for all of his children. You just have to put your faith in His ability to provide for all of your needs. We know God is our provider because He says that He is. "So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him" (Matthew 6:8). The problem is that most of us don't have patience. We don't often wait for God; we get in more trouble and delay our blessings by making our own ways. Our Father does not know lack, He knows abundance. He wants to give you everything more abundantly. Romans 8:32 tells us that God shall supply our needs according to His riches and that we cannot have a need too great for God to supply. Glory!<br />
<br />
So friend, what is your pressing need this morning? Whatever it may be, God's has unlimited supply of it. His unfailing, uncompromising and ever living word should satisfy your mind now and for all of eternity. God's wealth is at your disposal; His healing (emotional, physical and spiritual) is at your disposal. Don't continue to torture yourself by refusing to take God at His word. You are His child, His creation. You are His personal property, and He desires to give you His perpetual care and complete attention. I want to remind you that The God of Abraham, Daniel and Jacob is still in perfect control. He is able and willing to do all things. You must take the initial step to believe His word and you need to remind yourself every morning that you serve Jehovah Jireh.He provides. Allelujah!<br />

Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. Mark 11:23<br />
<br />
A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Life and death is in the power of the tongue. Proverbs 18:20-21<br />

Faith pleases God. Circumstances are subject to change at any minute, but God will never change what He has said. He says, For "I am the Lord, I do not change."When we hold on to our faith in God's Word, circumstances will change. Jesus says to speak to our mountains. He never says to call thy best friends and every family member to talk about thy mountain. Christians just don't understand and sometimes, it costs them dearly. When you discuss your situation with you friend for example, you form a silent agreement. He or she starts feeling sorry for you and then they telling you who else faced similar challenges and did not make it and before long it becomes clear that you also might not make it. Unknowingly, you are in agreement with the devil.<br />

Friend remember, the devil is already defeated. When you speak words that are not in agreement with the Word of God you are acting as Satan's agent. You are releasing it to the spirit realm. You are giving the devil authority to act in your situation by you using your power against you. Remember that life and death are in the power of the tongue. By discussing your situation over and over again in negative light you are causing negative outcome to come to pass. You must learn to take authority over the words of your mouth. Speak in agreement with God. Speak life. Speak victory or remain quiet.<br />
<br />
Friend when you have a problem, you cannot run to your friends and all the people you think might be able to help you. You need to learn to take authority (as per Christ command and speak to it). For instance, you cannot tell anyone how sick you are all day long and expect healing; however, you must remind your body what you need it to do: Body you are healed. By His stripes you were healed. You are blessed coming in and you are blessed coming out. No weapons form against you shall prosper. You shall be the head and not the tail. the Lord will cause your enemy to come one way but flee seven way. I will live and not die. ect." You have to be in agreement with the Word of God.<br />

The same goes for any situation. If you are looking for a job you cannot confess how hard it is to find employment in this economy. You must remember that you are not living according to today's economy. Hebrews 10:38 says, "The just shall live by faith." Instead of complaining about the economy, focus on victory. Speak to your finances and the situation will change. Friends pay attention to your words.<br />
Most Christians just speak to God about the mountain, instead of following Jesus' directions and speaking directly to the mountain. Listen, instead of seeing yourself defeated the knowledge and blessing covenant allow yourself to see the problem defeated by speaking the Word of God. Friend, God is faithful. Do things according to His instructions and go from glory to glory.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Dear friend, what is the mountain in your life today? What stands in the way of</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">your victory? Could it be the words of your mouth? Remember victory is not coming to you. It was already given. Listen, whatever the circumstances of your life today, speak God's Word to that mountain. Speak to sickness and pain and order them to go. Friend, speak to doubt, fear, worry and unbelief tell them to go. Speak to debt and financial lack and tell them to be removed from your life and your entire family as a matter of fact, you have power to do so. Oh the blood of Jesus!</span><br />
<br />
<i>Our Father, and our God, we love you. Thank you for loving us and giving us clear instructions on victory. We praise you for you are worthy of our praise. Strengthen us Father in our daily living so we can represent you well in all that we do. In the name of Jesus your son, we pray, Amen.</i><br />

<br />
Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name. 1 Chronicles 29:13<br />
<br />
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34<br />

<br />
There is always a reason to give thanks to the Lord. It is so easy to see what we don't have and yet we are blinded when it comes to noticing our blessings. During the times when I lived in my father's shed, I once woke up in the middle of the night crying and feeling sorry for myself. It was during a week that was particularly tough, but the day before I received two letters, one was another rejection for a job I was by all accounts qualify for and the other was a notice that my car was going to be taken away. There I was an adult sleeping in my father' shed, I was job less and soon to be car less.<br />
<br />
Why me? Why was I the only one suffering? Why can't my life be the way I envisioned it and the way I prepared it to be? I have asked the same questions all nights until I fell asleep. God is so good! He woke me up and show me how blessed I was even in the midst of my job situation. I had a father who cares enough and invited me to his house. I was healthy, educated and I was fed daily, but beyond that, I thought I knew my father but it wasn't until my time in the shed that I really got to know him. In as much as I loved my mother and remembered everything about her, I have always wondered if I really knew her. What a privilege and a blessing to really know my father for the man that he is!<br />
<br />
We often get caught up in what we want and we miss out on what we already have. What I have learned during my time of great needs is that God is good no matter what happens in my life. God is and will always remain a good father. He loves me so much that He sent His son Jesus Christ to die just for my salvation and now I have eternal life. lack may come. Famine may come. Sickness, disease, pain, humiliation and rejection may come but nothing can separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus and that is all that matters. "Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." 1 John 3:2<br />
<br />
Friend, when you receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior you become son/daughter of God. Your salvation is secured. It does not matter what happens from now on. You belong to God and that should be enough to give you joy and a thankful heart.<br />
<br />
<i>Thank you Father God for who you are. Thank you for opening my heart to your goodness. Thank you for loving me enough to send your son to die for my salvation. I will forever be grateful. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.</i><br />

By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. Hebrews 11:8<br />
<br />
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Ephesians 4:1<br />
<br />
By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith. Hebrews 11:7<br />

Friend, we must walk with God and not the other way around. God created us to freely choose Him. It is expected of us to walk with God but not forced upon us. The Bible tell countless stories of people who walk with God and how their lives were transformed. If we would just walk with God daily, spend time in prayer, Praise and worship instead of complaining and make an effort to live holy lives and sharing the good news of Christ with the dying world, you and I would go a long way pleasing God. Our objective is to please God by living a life pleasing to him. I can't even tell you how many times I have asked God to show me His glory by doing whatever I needed. I prayed, fasted, begged God to do certain things in my life and in return I would promise Him my devotion forever. In reality, I should start living the promise and God will meet me and not the other way around. As children of God through our Savior Jesus Christ, we do not have to beg God for anything because 2 Corinthians 1:20 says "For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God." What a fool I was! I didn't understand God yet. It is through my walk with Him that He gradually reveals Himself and He continues to do so today.<br />
<br />
Walking with God is actually one-sided. It is always His way or no way. We do not get to bargain or choose how to walk. God is the One who dictates the rules.God is Spirit and He requires those who walk with Him to do so in Spirit and in truth. Walking with Him involves us getting in agreement with Him and not Him with us. He is Sovereign whereas we are nothing without Him. You and I must long for God. We must strive for a closer walk with God. We must pursue the things of God. We must focus on things of above because that is where our father lives. To walk with God the way Enoch walked and the way Jesus walked requires that we simplify our lives. The pursuit of material things often keeps us from walking with God. To walk with God requires that we do His will no matter the cost. It demands that we forget ourselves and it entails an attitude of submission. When Christ was facing the loneliest time, greatest and deepest agony, He was submissive to His Father. He is our example. Like Him, we must submit to God and we will know the greatest victory.<br />

1 You have searched me, LORD,<br />
and you know me.<br />
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;<br />
you perceive my thoughts from afar.<br />
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;<br />
you are familiar with all my ways.<br />
4 Before a word is on my tongue<br />
you, LORD, know it completely.<br />
5 You hem me in behind and before,<br />
and you lay your hand upon me.<br />
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,<br />
too lofty for me to attain.<br />
<br />
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?<br />
Where can I flee from your presence?<br />
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;<br />
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.<br />
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,<br />
if I settle on the far side of the sea,<br />
10 even there your hand will guide me,<br />
your right hand will hold me fast.<br />
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me<br />
and the light become night around me,”<br />
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;<br />
the night will shine like the day,<br />
for darkness is as light to you.<br />
<br />
13 For you created my inmost being;<br />
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.<br />
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;<br />
your works are wonderful,<br />
I know that full well.<br />
15 My frame was not hidden from you<br />
when I was made in the secret place,<br />
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.<br />
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;<br />
all the days ordained for me were written in your book<br />
before one of them came to be.<br />
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!<br />
How vast is the sum of them!<br />
18 Were I to count them,<br />
they would outnumber the grains of sand—<br />
when I awake, I am still with you.<br />
<br />
19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!<br />
Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!<br />
20 They speak of you with evil intent;<br />
your adversaries misuse your name.<br />
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD,<br />
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?<br />
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;<br />
I count them my enemies.<br />
23 Search me, God, and know my heart;<br />
test me and know my anxious thoughts.<br />
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,<br />
and lead me in the way everlasting.</div>

All of a sudden, my students believe that they can now reach mountains and live a life without limitations, it is an attitude that brings me much joy; but my question to them was, all things are possible if you believe.....in what? It is great to make such powerful statement but something is definitely missing from it. Don't you think? It is not a complete sentence. The majority of the adults students stated that the missing part of the statement is "if you believe in yourself." Really if you believe in yourself? Can anyone live a minute longer, if he believes in himself? I think not. You can believe in yourself by acknowledging the grace of God given to you through the savior Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that all things are made possible. Jesus alone can provide that boost that cross us from a life of limitation to a limitless possibilities.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Friend, do you believe that Jesus is in action in your life right this moment, by His Spirit, lift burdens, breathe life into your forgotten dreams, those that were impossible to come to completion without him? Do you believe in His ability to do exceedingly abundantly far above what you can ask or think even far beyond your wildest dreams? Do you believe He remains the same today, yesterday and forever? Do you believe He has all power in heaven and on earth to do according to His will? Why do you still worry about health? You say you believe but do you really? God can heal you inside and out. He is able. Do you believe? Your dead dreams will come to life. You can conceive. You can be debts free. Decide this year that Cancer, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and Heart diseases are not in charge. God should be the driving force in your life. Only God is worthy of first place in your life and only Him makes all things possible ....... to those who believe. He listens when we pray according to His will. Praise the lord! And friend, this is exactly why you and I need to know His will so that we can pray according to His will. It is only when you believe in God’s power and abilities your confidence to move mountains will be boosted. When you know His will, you pray His Word and as you pray His will, and it is your faith in Him that causes us to surmount all barriers.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Friend, all things are possible when you believe......in Christ and Christ alone.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">www.bibletourwithjoline.com/dailydevotions.asp</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">www.bibletourwithjolin.blogspot.com</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">www.bibletouravecjoline.blogspot.com</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">God's love is persistent, ever-present, and very powerful. Our lives are transformed by the presence of love. All true love originates from God. Christians are to receive and replicate this love in their lives so people can know of God's love. When filled with God's love, we can understand things that we could not otherwise understand. The wonderful thing is that the more we know God’s attribute, the more we are going to obey His command to love "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment Matthew 22:37). Friend, love starts with God. One of favorite preachers once said that “Trying to find lasting love without obeying God is like trying to quench thirst by drinking from an empty cup you can go through the motions, but the thirst remains”. We often miss out on this comprehensive picture of God's love because we are searching for it at all the wrong places while taking God’s love for granted.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Friend, love is a big theme in our society. There are countless websites claiming to be able to help you find love. It is really quite interesting because each one of them is loaded with thousands of profiles. People are desperately looking for love. Have you ever had an opportunity to read some of these profiles? People are searching for perfection. (disease free, thin, smart, beautiful, tall, rich or have a great job, good communicator with no relationship baggage, ect.). But God wants you as you are: Sick, Imperfect, broken, hurt, full of baggage, loss, confused, rejected. No need to change to find His love because His kind of love will enrich and transform. Glory! There are times in our lives when those who claim to love us refuse to talk to us and ask for space but my dear friend, there are no periods with God's love. God's love does not stop with the sunset or begin with the new week. God love never takes a break. Divine love will always continue throughout time and eternity. In the darkest of nights, there will always be the eternal light of God's love. Glory to God! All you have to do is submit to love by allowing Christ to reside in your heart. He will never leave you. His promise to be with you through your valleys and mountain tops is true. You can count on His great love.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Praise the Lord! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. Jeremiah 17:1</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.

My mother particularly loved it and used it in her prayers daily. I memorized it when I was perhaps 4 years old. As an adult, it is a constant reminder that the greatest of the Lord’s “benefits” is that He forgives all our sins, and it is also a reminder of another of the Lord's benefits: He is my healer. He is able to heal all of my diseases. Praise Him! He does not heal some and unable to heal others. The Lord heals </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">ALL</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;"> diseases, even Multiple Sclerosis, Cancer of all types, Diabetes, Dementia, High Blood Pressure, Heart disease, Liver and Kidney issues, as well as chronic digestive issues and migraine headache. He heals all diseases.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">"All" means all. No disease is so great that the Lord cannot heal it. Just last Friday I experienced God's healing power. I was in the middle of teaching a class when I felt this awful, and teeth clenching pain in my stomach and I bent over and started sweating in complete agony. As I tried to make it to my desk to get to the bottle of pain reliever in my purse, I remembered the above scripture as well as something Gloria Copeland said during a recent healing meeting. She said, "Do not yield to sickness, take authority and do not reach for the aspirin every time you feel something and always pray first." So I prayed and the pain left just as quickly as it started. Though God healed me multiple times before, I was so astounded with the speed of the recovery that I spent the rest of the day feeling my stomach, pressing it and looking for the pain but it was gone to never return. Hallelujah!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">I get really impatient when people say that God does not do certain things anymore, considering that God said in Malachi 3:6 that He is immutable. God is still at work. He is still doing the things He always has done. He has not retired and His magnificence surrounds us. Healing is not just something that God “does.” Healing is part of God’s very nature. God still heals. Friend, Approach God in faith with boldness and experience His healing power. Listen, no disease is too hard for Him. When God said "all diseases" It did not make any exception. No illness is excluded from this great “benefit.” Therefore, whatever disease you or a loved one may have, it falls right under God’s authority and promise to “heal all your diseases.” You and your loved ones can be healed. In fact, the word of God in 2 Peter 2:24 says "by His stripes, you were healed." Friend, You are healed!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">God said Himself “I AM the Lord who heals you.” You and I must remember that we serve a healing God who has declared that He has noble intentions towards you. He said it in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome." He said in Exodus 23:25-26 "Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span". God is truth. He cannot lie. Lying is against God's nature. When He said "I will give a full life span" He meant it. Healing is yours. Hold on to God's truth. Trust that He will keep His promises and experience God's healing power.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">-Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife and his slave girls.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">-Moses prayed in Numbers 12:13, “O God, please heal her!” in reference to leprous Miriam, and God healed her.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">-David prayed and God healed.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">People have been praying for healing for centuries. Do you think they would continue to do so if God did not heal? My friend, as I stated above, every disease and sickness in under God limitless power. Do not hesitate to bring any healing need, yours or loved ones, to God. Follow God instruction on healing. Have faith in God, Pray and meditated regularly, have elders pray over you and anoint you with oil, pray for others who are sick and decide to believe God no matter you hear and see and soon you will be healed. The lepers in Luke 17 did not get healed right away. In obedience to Jesus, they were healed “as they went” to show themselves. Friend, you too will receive your healing. Do not get frustrated if it is taking long and if the doctors are not optimistic. Do not doubt. Hang on to the truth: God heals. God will come through for you.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages). Hebrews 13:8<br /><br />I am the Lord Who heals you. Exodus 15:26</b></div>

As the two walked on together, Isaac spoke to his father Abraham. "Father!" he said. "Yes, son," he replied. Isaac continued, "Here are the fire and the wood, but where is the sheep for the holocaust?" "Son," Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the sheep for the holocaust." Then the two continued going forward. Genesis 22:7-8<br />

Friend, God does not see into the future. He knows it. Abraham trusted God to provide a lamb for the sacrifice, and just when he was about to kill his only son, God stepped in and offer a substitute. God is indeed our provider and we should trust Him to take care of all of our needs. I absolutely love the way God steps in my own life. Every time I think that it is over, every time I think that I am at the end of my rope, He releases another inch of his ever-long rope. "My son God will provide" was Abraham reply to Isaac and in due time God did provide, and then Abraham honored God by calling Him the provider.<br />

God had provided for him in the time of his extremity, so He will provide for all of those that put their trust in Him. The God of Abraham is alive, and let His name be praised, and let us rest assured that, as certainly as Abraham, Jacob and Daniel in distress, the Lord appeared for them and was seen, God shall be with you and I when times of extreme pressure come. We shall all be tried and tested, but in our utmost need God will see to our deliverance, if we would just trust Him. The Lord is the Provider of men. Friend, I pray and long for all of us to get this truth firmly planted in our hearts. I pray that you let yourself be reminded of Abraham and all of those before us who trusted God to be their provider and were not even once deceived.<br />

God is no respecter of man. What He's done for one, He certainly can and will do for all of his children. You just have to put your faith in His ability to provide for all of your needs. We know God is our provider because He says that He is. "So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him" (Matthew 6:8). The problem is that most of us don't have patience. We don't often wait for God; we get in more trouble and delay our blessings by making our own ways. Our Father does not know lack, He knows abundance. He wants to give you everything more abundantly. Romans 8:32 tells us that God shall supply our needs according to His riches and that we cannot have a need too great for God to supply. Glory!<br />
<br />
So friend, what is your pressing need this morning? Whatever it may be, God's has unlimited supply of it. His unfailing, uncompromising and ever living word should satisfy your mind now and for all of eternity. God's wealth is at your disposal; His healing (emotional, physical and spiritual) is at your disposal. Don't continue to torture yourself by refusing to take God at His word. You are His child, His creation. You are His personal property, and He desires to give you His perpetual care and complete attention. I want to remind you that The God of Abraham, Daniel and Jacob is still in perfect control. He is able and willing to do all things. You must take the initial step to believe His word and you need to remind yourself every morning that you serve Jehovah Jireh.He provides. Allelujah!<br />

Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. Mark 11:23<br />
<br />
A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Life and death is in the power of the tongue. Proverbs 18:20-21<br />

Faith pleases God. Circumstances are subject to change at any minute, but God will never change what He has said. He says, For "I am the Lord, I do not change."When we hold on to our faith in God's Word, circumstances will change. Jesus says to speak to our mountains. He never says to call thy best friends and every family member to talk about thy mountain. Christians just don't understand and sometimes, it costs them dearly. When you discuss your situation with you friend for example, you form a silent agreement. He or she starts feeling sorry for you and then they telling you who else faced similar challenges and did not make it and before long it becomes clear that you also might not make it. Unknowingly, you are in agreement with the devil.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Friend remember, the devil is already defeated. When you speak words that are not in agreement with the Word of God you are acting as Satan's agent. You are releasing it to the spirit realm. You are giving the devil authority to act in your situation by you using your power against you. Remember that life and death are in the power of the tongue. By discussing your situation over and over again in negative light you are causing negative outcome to come to pass. You must learn to take authority over the words of your mouth. Speak in agreement with God. Speak life. Speak victory or remain quiet.<br />
<br />
Friend when you have a problem, you cannot run to your friends and all the people you think might be able to help you. You need to learn to take authority (as per Christ command and speak to it). For instance, you cannot tell anyone how sick you are all day long and expect healing; however, you must remind your body what you need it to do: Body you are healed. By His stripes you were healed. You are blessed coming in and you are blessed coming out. No weapons form against you shall prosper. You shall be the head and not the tail. the Lord will cause your enemy to come one way but flee seven way. I will live and not die. ect." You have to be in agreement with the Word of God.<br />

The same goes for any situation. If you are looking for a job you cannot confess how hard it is to find employment in this economy. You must remember that you are not living according to today's economy. Hebrews 10:38 says, "The just shall live by faith." Instead of complaining about the economy, focus on victory. Speak to your finances and the situation will change. Friends pay attention to your words.<br />
Most Christians just speak to God about the mountain, instead of following Jesus' directions and speaking directly to the mountain. Listen, instead of seeing yourself defeated the knowledge and blessing covenant allow yourself to see the problem defeated by speaking the Word of God. Friend, God is faithful. Do things according to His instructions and go from glory to glory.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Dear friend, what is the mountain in your life today? What stands in the way of</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">your victory? Could it be the words of your mouth? Remember victory is not coming to you. It was already given. Listen, whatever the circumstances of your life today, speak God's Word to that mountain. Speak to sickness and pain and order them to go. Friend, speak to doubt, fear, worry and unbelief tell them to go. Speak to debt and financial lack and tell them to be removed from your life and your entire family as a matter of fact, you have power to do so. Oh the blood of Jesus!</span><br />
<br />
<i>Our Father, and our God, we love you. Thank you for loving us and giving us clear instructions on victory. We praise you for you are worthy of our praise. Strengthen us Father in our daily living so we can represent you well in all that we do. In the name of Jesus your son, we pray, Amen.</i><br />

<br />
Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name. 1 Chronicles 29:13<br />
<br />
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34<br />
<br />

<br />
There is always a reason to give thanks to the Lord. It is so easy to see what we don't have and yet we are blinded when it comes to noticing our blessings. During the times when I lived in my father's shed, I once woke up in the middle of the night crying and feeling sorry for myself. It was during a week that was particularly tough, but the day before I received two letters, one was another rejection for a job I was by all accounts qualify for and the other was a notice that my car was going to be taken away. There I was an adult sleeping in my father' shed, I was job less and soon to be car less.<br />
<br />
Why me? Why was I the only one suffering? Why can't my life be the way I envisioned it and the way I prepared it to be? I have asked the same questions all nights until I fell asleep. God is so good! He woke me up and show me how blessed I was even in the midst of my job situation. I had a father who cares enough and invited me to his house. I was healthy, educated and I was fed daily, but beyond that, I thought I knew my father but it wasn't until my time in the shed that I really got to know him. In as much as I loved my mother and remembered everything about her, I have always wondered if I really knew her. What a privilege and a blessing to really know my father for the man that he is!<br />
<br />
We often get caught up in what we want and we miss out on what we already have. What I have learned during my time of great needs is that God is good no matter what happens in my life. God is and will always remain a good father. He loves me so much that He sent His son Jesus Christ to die just for my salvation and now I have eternal life. lack may come. Famine may come. Sickness, disease, pain, humiliation and rejection may come but nothing can separate me from the love of God in Christ Jesus and that is all that matters. "Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." 1 John 3:2<br />
<br />
Friend, when you receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior you become son/daughter of God. Your salvation is secured. It does not matter what happens from now on. You belong to God and that should be enough to give you joy and a thankful heart.<br />
<br />
<i>Thank you Father God for who you are. Thank you for opening my heart to your goodness. Thank you for loving me enough to send your son to die for my salvation. I will forever be grateful. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.</i><br />
