Advancing Against Odds

PlantOutOfPavementAs the people of God assemble today, may they realize the sense of advancing forward against odds that cannot weigh them down to defeat. May they look up into the Face of promise and may they find shackles falling away as they begin their new, brisk pace of momentum into victories.

”‘Hear, O Israel: you are advancing today to battle against your enemies. Do not lack courage. Do not be afraid, or panic, or tremble [in terror] before them,” (Deut.20:3, Amp)


 

Good Times, Happy Times

In days to come, as you walk before God Most High in the light of His Word and trust in Him, may our beneficent Father grant you good times, happy times and times of celebration. May you look to the future expecting to see the goodness of God in your life and the lives of your family. Don’t be defeated by what appears to be on the horizon. Don’t be disheartened by rumors and every story that finds flight on the fancy of someone’s fears or imagination. May our merciful Father God send delightful surprises your way and grant you good times, happy times and times of celebration. (2Chron.6:41b, Msg) “…let your holy people celebrate goodness…” May you discover daily God’s goodness working in your life.

Minor Inching Toward Major

GraphInchingUpHow far up on the list have we let “minor” items inch toward “major” positions in recent years? Habits, indulgences and expenditures tend to creep ever upward among priorities and can eventually press biblically-based convictions out of position.  May the Lord help us to keep things in the order that the wisdom of biblical values would put them.

“First things first. Your business is life, not death.
Follow me. Pursue life.” (Matt.8:22, Msg)

What Does the Coming Generation Anticipate?

What will the coming generation anticipate? What are they anticipating now and who was it that set them up to anticipate it? The coming generation will anticipate something. One of the biggest favors we can do the coming generation is to build anticipation into them. Let’s build into them anticipation for the intervention of God, anticipation to see God do something no previous generation has ever seen. Before Daniel came along, who had ever seen anyone walk out of a lion’s den? Before Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came to town, who had ever seen three guys walk out of a fiery furnace without even so much as smelling like smoke? Let’s get our chins up off of our chests and allow our eyes to look upward into the Limitless One. ”Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.” (Ps.24:7, KJV) Every time people speak of tragedy and hopelessness, let us say to the coming generation, “But God….”. Let’s help them keep their anticipator alive and well and functioning at peek capacity. Let’s charge it up at every opportunity!


 

Taking Plan “A” With Both Hands

HoldRopeHands(Melissa) This is the year to loose your grasp on plan B and take hold, with both hands, of plan A – His original intent for your life in 2016. If your answer is hidden, ask God what the right question is in this moment.  Ask Him what, in you, might be hindering the answer.  Ask Him what you need to know today.  He’s got plans for you, He is not into punishing you.  His M.O. is all about forgiveness, redemption, relationship, and promotion all for His glory. Hey, if He tells you it’s simply about timing then it’s really that simple.  His timing is perfect.  Look at the birth and life of Samuel.  Perseverance is key!  It’s going to be an amazing year.  Get ready for your answers.

May the Lord bless your thoughts and your musings so
that you receive insight for victories in every area.

”I will also muse on all your work, and meditate on your deeds.” (Ps.77:12, LEB)

God is Faithful to Sustain Us

FatherArmAroundSonThe God-cloaked answer is not about God withholding an answer because we don’t get it.  This is not about Him being mean or cruel.  He is indeed right the opposite. “It is because of the Lord’s lovingkindness we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness.” Lam. 3:22-23 (AMP).  This makes me cry.  Our God is so faithful to sustain us through these battles to our answers.  In fact, His goodness NEVER runs out! This scripture tells us they are NEW EVERY MORNING! There is new strength and grace to be set free right now.  Y’all, He NEVER gave up on plan A which is the John 10:10 abundant life.  We choose to live plan B simply because we don’t have a grasp on His love and true intent for us.

God Holds Back Nothing

HandsPouringGrainAs the people of God assemble today, may their heavy laboring cease and may stacked-up circumstances fall to the ground as they receive good things from their merciful God Who covers them.

“For the Lord God is a sun and a safe-covering. The Lord gives favor and honor. He holds back nothing good from those who walk in the way that is right.” (Ps.84:11, NLV)


 

Jehovah Preserves

BirdInHand
May our Lord’s presence assure you that He is preserving you and keeping you even when you didn’t realize you needed it. Go out and come in in peace.

“Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul. Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!” Psalm 121:7-8 YLT


 

No Relapse

(Melissa) Now, here is where the “God cloaked answer” comes in.  If I would have been healed immediately, I would have sabotaged my healing.  I say MountainSunriseCloudsthat because just two weeks ago I was asking the Lord what do I need to know today about this, and as plain as day I heard, “You have a fear of relapse.” OH MY! He absolutely hit that one dead center! That little stinker has had its claws in so many areas of my life.  Now, it no longer does.  That fear will not sabotage the answer.
