Shh! God is speaking! He is speaking when we least expect it. He is speaking when we feel all hope is gone. He is speaking when things are going well! The truth about it, He is always speaking to us because He wants the best for us! But are we truly listening? Seek God like never before! The time is now to develop a closer walk with Him. Not just during your valley moments but also during your mountaintop experiences! We can't keep doing it our way and expecting God to bless it! We have to allow Him to lead and guide us all the way if we want to be victorious! He is waiting... will you allow him to dwell within your heart so that He can usher you into a life of abundance!

GOD "IS" OUR HEAVENLY FATHER! He is the beginning and the ending! He is Jehovah Jireh - our provider! He is Jehovah Rapha - God our Healer! He is Jehovah Shalom - God our Peace! He is El Elyon - God Most High! He is El Roi - God who sees! He is El Shaddai - God Almighty! He is Elohim - Our God! He is Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent! He cares for us, loves us, redirects, us, blesses us, and chastens us! Thank you Father for all things and everything that you have done, is doing, and will do in my life! I can't ever repay you, but I can continuously praise you, obey you, seek you, and spend time with you to show my gratefulness! Thank you for being a GREAT GOD and a GREAT FATHER! Because of your grace and mercy, I shall lack nothing and I don't ever have to work about being forsaken!

God's Favor often times attracts attacks, but it will not stop the plan that God has predestined for your life. Through these attacks, trials and tribulations, unwelcomed situations, and stressful circumstances, God wants us to yield o His way and give Him our concerns. You see, the attacks are not meant to break you but prepare you for your next level of greater! Don't be so deceived by the smokescreens of the enemy that you forget that even through the attacks, God will always have your back if you trust Him!

Lead like Jesus: Be the Example is not just a title, it's a lifestyle. Every day we have an opportunity to respond like Him. It is so easy to respond like the world, but we have to ask God to help guide our decisions, and gird our reactions to injustices that we face. Of course we are human, but we have the power to win in every situation. For this is not a physical battle that we fight, but a spiritual one that requires that our faith be anchored in the Lord, and our hope be rooted in His word! We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus even when we face challenges that come to sway our faith. Yet, if we hold on and stay the course, God will make our enemies our footstool... not for us to gloat but for us to rejoice that God is still and always will be in FULL CONTROL! Don't fret...God has not failed us yet!! Be Encouraged!

If we are going to show some sign, we must make sure our talk and walk aligns! Listen, the fruit of the spirit should be evident in all of our lives. Galatians 5:22 tells us "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law". Even though we all possess some character flaws, we can allow God to create a "change in us" to help us develop positive character traits. The goal is to be better today than you were yesterday. Our faith walk is a daily journey. We have to deny our flesh daily, and allow God to work on the inside of us so that the evidence can be produce to others.

God often uses isolation to prepares us for our greater. Sometimes, isolation is used to prepare us for elevation, transform us through self-reflection, inspire us to develop a deeper personal relationship with Christ, and to instruct us on something that is beneficial in our lives away from all the chatter of the world. Either way, embrace the journey, God never allows anything that he hasn't already paved the way for us to endure. His plan for our lives is flawless because He has carefully crafted every area, expectation, and purpose for us individually. And because He is faithful, we have no reason to doubt that even in the midst of the storm, He promised that we will be more than conquerors in Christ.

Even though we suffer many afflictions, this does not negate our purpose that was predestined even before we were born. God has a plan for our lives, and it is greater than anything we could even encounter. The mere fact that God has promised that "all things" would work out for our good (Romans 8:28) tells us that even our afflictions have to align with his purpose for our lives. For there is nothing that we will go through that will not grow us into the purpose He has for our lives. So be encouraged and know that God's plan is perfect, and His promises are permanent! Your greater is coming...just you wait and see!

Judas betrayed Jesus, but Jesus still loved him anyway! Judas' betrayal didn't stop God's plan. Don't get so distracted with people that are trying to sabotage you that you forget who got you! God never fails and He always wins! So, treat them right and watch God help you win that fight! You need not to stoop down to their level when you understand that God's plan for your life is bigger than anything the enemy is trying to throw your way. Learn to love anyhow, forgive anyway, pray for them always, and your blessings will be abundant and overflowing because you trusted in God's power and not the enemy's tactics! Aways remember, that even when people betray you, God will never abandon you! Case in point....Jesus arose and He lives! That means that nothing you face could even stand the power that is within you! Let God lead you to victory, and remain firm in your faith!! Be Blessed and Definitely Encouraged!
