Today's Inspiration ❤️🤗

There are people who genuinely go out of their way cause us trouble. Those who we avoid in an effort to stay close to Jesus!

Don't avoid them. Take authority over your God given purpose and love them. 

Proverbs 25:21-22 (NLT)

If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat. If they are thirsty, give them water to drink. You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads, and the Lord will reward you.

Love them, love them some more, and we you can't take it, dig deep and give them some more love. 

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞you!

When citizens enlist in the service they have an expectation that their service may mean combat. 

We enlisted in the army of the Lord, why are we surprised when we are deployed?

When Paul and Silas were deployed they answered with a resounding yes!

God through them was able to break strongholds and save souls. 

Your trial is not for you, it is just a part of combat. Sing and pray to the Lord so those around you may be healed, set free, and delivered. 

Acts 16:29-33 (NLT)

The jailer called for lights and ran to the dungeon and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.” And they shared the word of the Lord with him and with all who lived in his household. Even at that hour of the night, the jailer cared for them and washed their wounds. Then he and everyone in his household were immediately baptized.

If you are deployed, God trusted you to follow through. 

Hold on to God's unchanging hands. 

You are the light continue to shine bright. 

The cross you bear, carry it without fear. 

Soon you will see chains break free. 

Hold on, don't fret, Jesus has already paid the debt. 

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞 you!

Today's Inspiration 💪🙌❤️

When we encounter fierce opposition we should immediately look for God. If we are feeling oppressed or bound, there is a blessing in the midst. We have to stand firm in Jesus. 

Paul and Silas were wrongly accused, beaten, and incarcerated.  Still they looked for Jesus! 

When Paul and Silas sang and prayed to the Lord, God responded with a great earthquake. The prison foundation was violently erupted. The doors became completely unhinged, the chains holding the prisoners were broken. 

When God opens doors they cannot be closed! God can send an earthquake to completely destroy the foundation of your closed door. If a door is shut in your life that God has promised you, sing and pray to the Lord. Look for your earthquake. 

Acts 16:25-26 (NKJV)

But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 

Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed. 

When we find ourselves in impossible situations we need to look for God to send an earthquake. Some strongholds need to be violently erupted. Some doors require a key and sometimes God has to break the foundation. 

God can do the impossible but it is according to your faith. Have faith in God. Don't concern yourself with what you see. You serve the King. Look for the earthquake.  

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞 you!

Today's Inspiration 🙏🏾🙌❤️

We are children of the King. We are where we are to influence. Even if where we are is painful. 

Paul and Silas were beaten and thrown into jail for serving the Lord. They did not allow their condition to dictate their praise. They were not victims focused on the injustice they were victors focused on the King.

They were in prison but they were not prisoners. They we beaten but they were not beat. 

We cannot give into our circumstances and  become what we see. We must always rise above, because we are children of the King. 

We have to walk in our truth, have faith, and never doubt. Always trusting, Jesus will bring us out. 

Acts 16:25-26 (NKJV)

But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.

Sometimes we are placed in difficult situations to loose the chains of those that are bound. 

If we focus on our hurt and pain we take our focus off of Jesus and become victims and prisoners to our pain. 

There are people around us who are bound, bitter, & broken. We are in our storm to break their chains. 

Someone's salvation is dependent on your pain, prayers, and praise.  

You might be in prison but you are not a prisoner. You might be in pain but you serve the healer. 

The prisoners are listening. Their chains need to be broken. You are on assignment. Pray through the pain. Praise in the rain. Trust the process. 

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞 you!

God has given you visions, dreams, and desires. 

Isaiah 55:10-11 (NIV)

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

You have purpose and you are destined to accomplish the visions and dreams God has given you. Don't be discouraged. 

Be encouraged! Follow through with what God has given you. 

When you do God promises:

Isaiah 55:12 (NIV)

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

Go out in joy and live your God given dreams.

Galatians 5:25 (NKJV)

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

We can only live and walk in the Spirit when we feed our Spirit with the word of God. 

Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

We cannot produce fruit if we are not connected to the Vine. Stay connected; our Spirit depends on it. 

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞you!

James 4:11 (NKJV)

Do Not Judge a Brother

Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.

Sometimes we are so quick to judge others. We are called to be disciples not judges. 

James 4:12 (NLT)

God alone, who gave the law, is the Judge. He alone has the power to save or to destroy. So what right do you have to judge your neighbor?

When we sit in the judgment seat we are out of order and we are judging without all the facts. God alone has all the facts and only He can judge. 

It is by God's grace we are where we are. When we judge others we place ourselves above them. It is God's grace that has saved us not our efforts. Have grace for others. 

Romans 12:3 (NKJV)

For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞 you!

Keep your faith up!

Galatians 6:9 (NKJV)

Don't lose heart ❤️.

Slow down

Trust God

Give your cares to God. 

Psalms 121:5-8 (NKJV)

The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in. From this time forth, and even forevermore.

How good it feels to have a keeper! We cannot be kept if we keep trying to jump out of protection. We cannot be preserved if we keep trying to do things our way. 

Proverbs 16:3 (NLT)

Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.

When we submit our will and commit our ways, we will succeed for the rest of our days. 

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞 you!

Today's Inspiration 💓🤚💞

Don't give up. Wait on the Lord. Trust the Lord. Have faith in God. 

Psalms 40:1-2 (NLT)

I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire.

He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.

When we are in a pit of despair waiting is hard. We must rest in the Lord, remembering God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above what we could think or ask. 

Don't give up....wait on the Lord. 

Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV)

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.

Wait on The Lord to renew your strength. 

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞you.

Never Give Up!

2 Corinthians 4:1 (NLT)

Therefore, since God in his mercy has given us this new way, we never give up.

There are times in our lives where we feel disturbed and uprooted on every side. In those times we must trust God. 

2 Corinthians 4:7-11 (NLT) 

We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.

We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. 

We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. 

We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. 

We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. 

Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.

2 Corinthians 4:15 (NLT) 

All of this is for your benefit. And as God’s grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NLT) 

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 

For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! 

So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. 

For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞 you!

Don't give up!

Our mind doesn't know the difference between fact or fiction, it only knows what we tell it. In all times and especially in difficult times we need to place our minds on Jesus. 

Colossians 3:1-3 (NIV)

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

True story: A elderly woman with memory loss doesn't remember the hurt and pain of her past. She is happier now than she was when she had her full memory. 

Things happen to us in this life and the quicker we let go and let God the happier we will be. Tell your mind about your God and not your feelings. Trust God, with your frustrations, disappointments, and your pain. 

#challenge: Every time you think about your pain spend the same amount of time meditating on God. Trust in the Lord. 

Isaiah 26:3-4 (NKJV)

You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, For in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength.

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞 you!

Don't give up!

Romans 5:3-5 (NLT)

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 

And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 

And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. 

The rainy season is not the time to give up. The rain waters our seeds to strengthen and develop us to handle the harvest. 

During our trials we must remember how dearly God loves us. 

Proverbs 19:21 (NLT)

You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.

We were created for a purpose. There are trials we must experience to fully realize our purpose. Rain doesn't last always. Grab your umbrella, find shelter in the Lord, and remember how dearly God loves you!

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves💞 you!

Don't give up!

Sometimes life beats us up and pushes us around. In those moments relentless pursue Jesus. Keep your eyes on the Most High God King of the universe. 

Hebrews 12:3 (NLT)

Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up.

Compare your battle with our Lord and Savior and be encouraged in difficult times. 

Hebrews 12:12-13 (NKJV)

Renew Your Spiritual Vitality

Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

Be healed in Jesus. 

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞 you!

Today's Inspiration ❤️😎🤗

Some of us think we have buried or hid our darkness. We later realize it's the under current to everything we believe, say or do. 

When we allow Jesus into our hearts, He will shine His beautiful light on our darkness. Jesus will expose those unhealed areas that hold us back. God will challenge us to face our darkness so it will no longer hold us captive. 

2 Samuel 22:29 (NKJV)

“For You are my lamp, O Lord; The Lord shall enlighten my darkness.

God desires to enlighten our darkness. We cannot be in relationship with the healer and not expect healing. We cannot cherry pick what we want God to do in our lives. Jesus is not going to ignore those areas that are holding us back. 

Have you ever wanted to lose weight in one area? It never works. Our body is one. Jesus is not in the business of spot healing. When we go to the Lord He sees everything and specializes in every part of us. 

Our purpose requires us to be whole. Our purpose requires us to operate at peak performance. When we are damaged we damage others. 

Stop hiding your darkness. Acknowledge your brokenness and allow Jesus to make you whole. 

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞 you!
