Re: Daily Devotion | Feb 2, 2006 | What Is On Your Mind?

Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Thursday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful morning in the matchless and merciful name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive! This is yet another day that you have not seen before! If I were you, I would rejoice
and be glad! I am. It is another day to experience the awesomeness of
GOD, for He is truly that, awesome.

I trust that this email finds all doing well, as I am!

What is on your mind?

Do your emotions get the best of you? Is your thought pattern indicative of a disciple of Christ? Do negative thoughts bombard your thought pattern? Is your mind on a roller coaster ride? Do you waiver between good and evil all day long?


The word of GOD declares in Phillipians 2:5: "Let this mind be in you, which was
also in Christ Jesus".


The Word of God also declares in Phillipians 4:8-9: Finally, brethren, whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of
good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these
things. *Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen
in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

It all starts in your mind! When the enemy comes to attack, he will usually start
with your mind. If he can get you to think and focus on negative things, and remain
there, he can win.

It is only when we as disciples of Christ focus on things that bring glory and honor
to GOD, can we win this battle!

I charge you today to not focus on negative things, people, places or things.

Even in the midst of distress, despair, depression, anxiety, stress, worry and
doubt, think of these things as mentioned above in Phillipians 4:8-9. Refuse to be
defeated in your mind!

Yes, some things that we experience are very real! There are some things that you
will never be able to change! There are some people that you will never be able to
change! There are some circumstances that you do not have the power to change!
There are some things that you know to be true and can do nothing about!

Do you loose your mind or do you change it?

You do have the power to change your mind!

What is on your mind?

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion | 2/6/06 | Write The Vision

Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Monday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful morning in the precious, peaceful and powerful name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive. I greet you with peace in my heart, mind and spirit on today. Knowing the God is still God and He always will be. This is yet another day that YOU have not seen before. It is a day to rejoice and be glad in it. This day has been ordained just for you! I am experiencing a brand new mercy! How about you?

I trust that all had a wonderful weekend and that all is well, as it is with me. We serve an awesome God!

Habakkuk 2:2-3 - Then the Lord answered me and said: "Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.



A vision, a promise, a dream given by God.

Has God given you a vision, a promise, or a dream?

What is it that God has given to you?

Have you written in down and recorded it on paper?

Are you working toward the vision that God has given you?

Are you doing something everyday to fulfill the vision? Have you lost
focus of what it is God has really called you to do?

Are there people blocking the path to your greatness? Are you currently
involved in activities that are drawing you away from your purpose?

The Word of God declares that we are to write the vision and make it plain
on tablets. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, and it shall
speak and will not lie.

What an awesome promise from God!

I thank God for the ability to dream!

I hear the Word of the Lord saying:

Go forth with the vision that I gave you. For it shall surely come to
pass. There are going to be obstacles, but keep pressing forward. There
will be times when you feel like you want to give up, but do not throw in
the towel. Hold fast to the vision, the promise and the dream that I
imparted into your spirit. Though it tarry, wait for it. Your vision
will come to pass. And it will happen this year. The right connections
will be supplied. Favor, I will grant unto you. Prepare yourself. The
pruning process has already begun. You will begin to see things drop from
your surroundings and this includes people. Everybody that you thought
would be there for you, will not. Think it not strange that this will
occur. Everybody can't go with you. Walk in obedience. Lift your level
of integrity even the more. You look around and see the blessings of
others and wonder why not me. Your time is set. It is an appointed time!
I will give unto the desires of your heart. Remain faithful to everything
that I have called you to do. Your vision shall surely come to pass.

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

P.S. - What God has ordained, He will maintain!

Re: Daily Devotion | 2/7/06 | Search Me...

Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Tuesday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful morning in the gracious and giving name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive. I greet you with peace in my heart, mind and spirit on today. Knowing the God is still God and He always will be. This is yet another day that YOU have not seen before. It is a day to rejoice and be glad in it. This day has been ordained just for you! I am experiencing a brand new mercy! How about you?

Psalm 139: 23-24- Examine me, O God, and know my mind; test me, and
discover my thoughts. Find out if there is any evil in me and guide me in
the everlasting way.

This morning I ask you a serious question. What is in you that needs to be purged?

Do you carry feelings of hatred, jealousy, deceit, and malice? Are you vindictive in any way?

Is gossip your portion? Does it consume you? Do you tell everybody elses business while not be able to deal or handle your own?

Are you currently harboring unforgiveness?

Has someone wronged you and it consumes your thought life? Is it that everytime you think of this person, you become infiltrated with anger, hate and revenge?

It is my prayer today that you allow God to do some "house cleaning".

Let today be a day of cleansing for you. May you be completely free from anything and anybody that would keep you from hearing and receiving from God.

Psalm 19: 12-13 --None of us can see our own errors; deliver me, Lord, from hidden faults! *Keep me safe, also, from willful sins; don't let them rule over me. Then I shall be perfect and free from the evil of sin.

Psalm 51:7 -Remove my sin, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

John 8:36- If the Son sets you free, then you will be really free.

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion | 2/8/06 | The Next Level

Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Wednesday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful morning in the merciful and matchless name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive. I greet you with
peace in my heart, mind and spirit on today. This is yet another day that
YOU have not seen before. It is a day to rejoice and be glad in it. This day has been ordained just for you! I am experiencing a brand new mercy! How about you?

Psalm 26: 11-12(a) - But as for me, I walk in my integrity; redeem me, and be gracious to me. My foot stands on level ground.


This morning's devotional deals with your level of commitment.

What are you committed to? Who are you committed to?

Has God assuredly called you to go to the next level? Are you committed to the call
or are you pondering if you should answer the call?

Are you torn between what your flesh is dictating over what you hear God speaking to
you?

This next level involves your ability to lay aside those things that would serve as
distractions to keep you from moving forward.

Have you become to familiar with unhealthy relationships, and places that you should
not be in?

Where does your integrity lie? Is it in limbo?

If God has closed certain doors in your life,a ccept the reality that they are
closed. Stop trying to pry open the door. The door was closed for a reason. Thank
God for closed doors!

The Word of The Lord:

It is time for you to finally accept the call that I have on your life. You have
become too familiar with what used to be that you can no longer see what I am doing
in your life. Embrace this season of change and begin to walk in newness. I
understand how it used to be, that is why I closed the door. I was saving your very
life. Do not try to open the door again. Turn and walk away, in the opposite
direction. I am the only one who is able to raise the dead. If it were meant to
be, then it would be. The time has finally come for you to move on. I am about to
reveal and manifest in your life a harvest that you cannot even imagine. Go to the
next level!

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion | 2-17-06 | Shifts

Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Friday to YOU! I greet you on this wonderful morning in abundant peace. Our God is an awesome. He reigns from heaven above, with wisdom, power and love. Our God is an awesome God. This is yet another day that the Lord has made. I am rejoicing and being glad in it. I invite you to do the same. This day has been ordained just for you. What will you do with it?

I trust that this email finds all doing well, as I am.

This morning's devotional deals with changes, shifts and new seasons.

Daniel 2: 20(a)-21 - Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His.

And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He
gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.

Are you currently dealing with shifts in your life?

Do you find that you are currently in a season of change?

Are you no longer satisfied with what used to be? Is there a longing inside of you
to do away with the old and to embrace the new?

Have you been called to go to another level?

Are there people who you used to call close, all of sudden drifting away? Are you
now beginning to find out who is with you and who is against you?

Thank God on today for a season of change.

The Word of God declares that He changes the times and seasons.

I challenge you on today that if you find yourself in a great shift or season of
change, to continue to walk in an area of total obedience to what it is you hear and
see the Lord doing in your life. Think it not strange that this is happening. God
is a master orchestrator. He is sovereign. He is in control of everything; for the
earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8- *To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under
heaven: *A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck
what is planted; *A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a
time to build up; *A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time
to dance; *A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to
embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; *A time to gain, And a time to lose;
A time to keep, And a time to throw away; *A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time
to keep silence, And a time to speak; *A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of
war, And a time of peace.

Make it an EXCELLENT day and an even better weekend!

Re: Daily Devotion | We Have Issues....He Has Answers

Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Tuesday to YOU! Our God is a deliverer. I greet you on this wonderful morning in the mighty and majestic name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This is yet another day that the Lord has made. I am rejoicing and being glad in it. I invite you to do the same. This day has been ordained just for you. What will you do with it?

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am.

I Peter 5:7 - Leave all your worries with him, because he cares for you.

Let's face it! We have issues. Everybody is dealing with something in their life.

What is life without problems and issues? Nonexistent.

No one's life here on earth is exempt of trouble, issues and concerns.

We all have challenges!

We deal with a wide variety of situations. We encounter good days and bad days!

We deal with disappointments, set-backs, set-ups, accussations, financial despair, career losses, relational issues, just to name a few; but what a wonderful thing it is to know that we have a Heavenly Father who actually cares for us.

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

And what a privilege it is......

Yes, you may have some major issues today, but the good news is that you can cast all of your cares to a Major God, for He truly does care for you!

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion | Christ Like?

Good Morning All and Happy Wonderful Wednesday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful morning in the awesome name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive. This is yet another day that the Lord has made. If I were you, I would take His command to rejoice and be glad. Think it not strange that you have been given another opportunity to experience the awesomeness of God!

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am!

Phillipians 2:3-4: Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

Today?s devotional is simplistic in nature, but difficult at times for some to operate in. Take heed!

In this walk of salvation, it is so important that we let others see Christ in us. This does not mean that we carry the biggest bible, quote scriptures to eternity or even pray loudly that we might be heard of men.

How shall they know that you are a disciple of Christ? By your love for one another!

How many people are able to see Christ in you? Are you guilty of being
Christ like in your everyday walk?

Can people only see Christ in you on Sunday morning? What happens after the benediction is given?

Does your daily conduct, conversation and lifestyle exemplify one who possesses Christ as their Lord?

Does your tree bear fruit? Or is your supply limited?

How many people do you bless daily? How many lives do you affect? How often do you encourage and speak life into those close to you? Or those that you may not be familiar with?

I use this quote a lot and I value it:

?Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less?.

I charge you today to find someone to bless. This may be in a phone call, an email, a material need met or even a simple smile.

The smallest thing can make the greatest difference in someone?s life.

I encourage you today!

I speak life to you today!

Now, reciprocate to someone else??..

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion | 2-23-2006 | Take No Thought....

Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Thursday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful morning in the precious and almighty name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive. This is yet another day that you have not seen before. It is a day to rejoice and be glad. I dare you to experience the awesomeness of God!

I trust that this email finds all doing well, as I am.

Matthew 6:25-34: 25*Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye
shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is
not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26*Behold the fowls of the
air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your
heavenly Father feedeth them.

This morning's devotional is a blast from the past. It was given to me a while ago,
but I sense that it is a needed word for someone today. I am not sure specifically
who it is for, but it is a Word that we all can be encouraged and strengthened by.

Are you currently facing a trying situation? Is fear and anxiety about your future
tormenting you? Are you facing financial difficulty and you just do not know what
to do? Is there a pressing need in your life?

Are you currently in need of healing for your body? Are you in need of restoration
for your soul?

I come to you today to let you know your Heavenly Father cares.

God will take care of you. Be not dismayed!

Whatever the situation you are currently facing or may soon be dealing with, God is
a Master Provider.

Has He not taken care of you thus far? Has He not provided in the past?

I have heard this quoted many, many times and now I can truly say, I know it to be
true: I once was young and now am old and I have never seen the righteous forsaken
nor His seed begging bread.

The Word of the Lord comes to you today: I am God. I am the One who provides for
you. Cast all of your cares, worries and doubts to Me. I am more than able to
handle them. Have I not taken care of you before. Even in those times of hardship,
did I not deliver you out of them? Did I not provide and make ways where there were
none? Trust Me today! I care about you. I created you. I know your every need.
The situation that you are currently facing is not what it appears. Where is your
faith? I will open a door. I will make the pathway clear and remove every
obstacle. I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

I certainly hope that this email encourages you right where you are.

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion |2-27-2006 | Let The Words....

Good Morning All and Happy Monday to You! What a glorious day this is to
be alive. This is yet another day that you have not seen before. Rejoice
and be glad in it! I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am. I
also trust that all had a very safe weekend. Hopefully you used your time
wisely and productively.

This morning's devotional centers on the subject of integrity. One of my
"pet peeve" topics. Have you ever encountered someone who said one thing,
but their actions indicated just the opposite? Have you ever experienced
individuals who on the surface talked a "good game" , but when you really
got to know them, what they say and what they do, do not line up?

Psalm 19:14 -Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

Telling the truth is, indeed, very important. So many of us think that it is okay to
"shade the truth," and then we wonder why no one believes us anymore.The Bible says
"the Lord detests lying lips" (Proverbs 12:22).But there is another aspect of
honesty that we need to consider -- living the truth!

God calls on us to speak the truth, and live the truth, so that those around us may
come to know the Truth. The Bible tells us of the One who is the Way, the Truth, and
the Life.

May what you say and what you do line up. Let there be no discrepancy.

It is important to remember that what you do will always speak louder than what you
say!

It is my prayer that each of you walk in integrity.

Make it an EXCELLENT day! :-)

I know this one is late and I haven't been on it this week, but I have been in training all week.

After reading this devotion, I could not let it go without passing it on.


Good Morning All! Happy Friday to YOU! I greet you on this wonderful
morning in the merciful and matchless name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive. This is yet another day
that you have not seen before! I encourage you to rejoice and be glad! I
invite you to experience the awesome power of God today! He ordained this
day just for you.

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am!

Well, it's Friday and the end of the work-week for most of us. It is my
prayer that your weekend be filled with peace, productivity and protection!

2 Chronicles 20:17 - Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set
yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O
Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against
them: for the LORD will be with you.


This morning's devotional comes to you as a result of a seed planted this morning on
the way to work. If you are in a fight at present and do not know what to do, the
Word of the Lord comes to you today with specific instructions. This week, I have
continually heard the Lord say, "stand still"!

The Word of the Lord to You today:

There are those of you who have been hit with sudden distress, distractions, trouble
and turmoil. These occurrences are happening to provoke you to go good. I am
calling you to another level. Think it not strange that what you are going through
is happening at the present time. You consider it a battle. I, your God, consider
it the next step to your promotion. Do not use human weapons to retaliate. I come
to you today to tell you to stand still. Fear not and do not be dismayed. This
thing that you are going through is in my hands. It is under my control. You need
not fight in this battle! See my hand work out this situation for your good. Watch
me do what I do best! I am God and beside me there is none other! Begin to praise
God for the trouble. It has come to push to the next level.

Stand Still!

It is my prayer that the Word of the Lord today blesses someone. I am not sure who
it is for, but whomever it is for, heed the Word today and stand still!

Make it an Excellent day!

Re: Daily Devotion | March 6, 2006 | Moving On....

Good Morning All! Happy, Happy Monday to YOU! I greet you in the name of
my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ ! I greet you in a spirit of peace, peace that surpasses all understanding! What a glorious day this is. It is yet another day that you have not seen before. It is a day to rejoice and be glad in it! Take it not for granted that you are still here! Make the most of today, for it has been ordained just for you!

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am. I had a wonderful weekend and I trust that you did as well!

Psalms 37:23 - The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way.

Psalms 116: 15- Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His saints.

Are you tired of where you are? Are you weary of the same old things, people and places. Are you tired of the same old way of operating? Is God calling for you to go to another level? Do you sense that your next level is just right around the corner?

If you truly want to go to another level, be prepared for the request. Put your war clothes on and be prepared to fight! This calls for the whole armour!

The word of God declares that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. He never promised that the steps would be comfortable...but remember, they are ordered.

When going to another level, you are going to have to release the things of the past. Those old feelings, attitudes, ways of operating and foremost,
the old way of thinking. And yes, there are some people that you will
have to release as well! You cannot go forward with the past in front of you.

Do not fight the isolation, the hurt, and yes, the discomfort that you will face when going to another level. People will not understand you at times, but this new level is between you and God.

You may even have to walk alone, but you will never be lonely.

In order to GO UP, you must GIVE UP!

The LORD must isolate, in order to ELEVATE!

Another level promises the "new thing(s)" of God. Another level calls for
your death. Your death to self!

Let the promises of God be manisfested in this new season for you.

I encourage you to go to another level. It is not an easy process by any means, but the end product will be worth it.

Step to another level! Release the old "thing", so that you may obtain the "new thing" that GOD has promised you.

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion | March 7, 2006 | Enough is Enough...

Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Tuesday to YOU! I greet you on this beautiful morning in the precious name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What a glorious day this is to be alive. This is yet another day that YOU have not seen before. It is a day to rejoice and be glad in it. This day has been ordained just for you! I am experiencing a brand new mercy! How about you?

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am.

Philippians 3:12 - *Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

I come to you this morning with a passion for restoration, revival and rejuvenation in the body of Christ! It is time out for foolishness (plainly stated). Why are you tolerating frivolous mayhem? How much longer are we to go through unnecessarily because of own selfish, rebellious, disobedient ways?

How many times has GOD spoken a specific word to you regarding a certain situation, person or place? How many times have you been shown the fall before the fall? and how many times have you ignored His instructions, just so that you could satisfy your own selfish curiosity and physical desires?

I come as a wake up call to you today.

As I have stated on many occasions, when the enemy comes to you, usually he starts with your mind. After dwelling on wrong doing (sin) for a long period of time, without changing your mind, it usually becomes manifest.

I say to you today: GARBAGE IN - GARBAGE OUT!

Throw out the garbage of your life and leave it alone!

Don't go rumbling through the garbage after you have thrown it out....leave it alone! What could you possibly be looking for?

My garbage may be different from yours and yours may be different from mine. You and only you know what you need to throw out and leave alone, and I repeat to you today, throw it out and leave it alone.

This message is certainly not meant to be offensive in any way, but some things need to be stated as a rebuke to those who know better, but yet consistently operate in complete and willful disobedience.

Keep your life clean and exemplary of one who calls him or herself a child of GOD.

How much longer shall you operate below that status of that which you have been given?

Shall you continue in sin? Absolutely not.

Romans 6:1-23 - What should we say then? Should we continue in sin in order that
grace may multiply? Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

Throw away your selfish pride today.

Proverbs 16:18 - *Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion | March 8, 2006 | Taking It Back...

Good Morning To All and Happy, Happy, Wednesday to YOU! I greet you this
morning in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ! I come to you today in abundant peace. What a glorious day this is to be alive. It is yet another day that you have not seen before. It is a day to rejoice and be glad in it! This day has been ordained just for you! I am experiencing a brand new mercy! How about you?

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am. This devotional was
sent to you previously, but I sense that it may be necessary for someone
today to adhere to. Heed the Word of the Lord!

The Word of God declares it so: Matthew 11: 12.......now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.

What has been illegally taken from you? What have you willfully given up?

Is it your peace? Is it your wholeness? Has the enemy stolen your sanity? Have you been robbed of rest and relaxation? Do you spend countless hours agonizing over things and people that have no place in your divine purpose and calling? Have you not been robbed long enough?

I charge you today to take back EVERYTHING that the enemy has taken from you.

Go and get your LIFE back! Guess what? It belongs to YOU!

Your peace....your joy....your wholeness......your health......your wealth.......your mind....your rest......your sanity....your kids....your family..........your job......your happiness........and yes, your sanctity.......it all belongs to YOU!

Become violent about what is rightfully yours.

The enemy has no regard for your life. His only concern is your destruction and he will use every tactic he can to destroy you. Begin to guard what belongs to YOU and kick the enemy out! and I repeat....KICK HIM OUT!

Declare today that the buck stops here!

Stop allowing the enemy to rob you of those things that rightfully belong to YOU! Start to stand in BOLDNESS and AUTHORITY and declare that IT IS YOURS!

Take it back!

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Re: Daily Devotion | 3-9-2006 | It Is On The Way....

Good Morning All and Happy Thursday to You! I greet you on this morning in the precious and powerful name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! I come to you in a spirit of peace. For I know that God is going to do just
what He said. What a glorious day this is to be alive! This is yet
another day that you have not seen before. I am rejoicing and being glad in it and I encourage you to do the same!

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am.

Psalm 27:14 -Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart; wait I say on the Lord

Isaiah 40: -31*But those who wait on the LORD will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

The hardest element of faith is waiting for that "time of favor" to come, isn't it?

It is during the waiting that discouragement often sets in. It is also the time when satan slanders God and puts powerful temptations before us. There is danger when we look away from the promise and who made it. We often give in to panic and the urge to take matters into our own hands.

Our difficult situations are not hidden from GOD, nor are we being disregarded because we don't yet see the answer.

The secret is to have a heart that waits on the Lord, to keep waiting in faith with glad expectation for the things He has promised.

I come to you this morning, admonishing you in faith!

Keep believing! Keep hoping! Keep trusting!

When satan comes to you speaking negativity, hit him back with the Word of God, literally!

I serve notice today, your time is near! I feel blessings in the air! I
can see breakthroughs, miracles and deliverances.

Your latter shall be greater than your former! I don't care what the enemy is trying to get you to believe. Whatever God spoke, it is about to be manifested.

Your new job (career)...manifested!
Your new dwelling place....manifested!
Your new birth...manifested!
Your promise....manifested!

IT'S ON THE WAY!

Make it an EXCELLENT day!

Good Morning All and Happy, Happy Friday to You! I greet you this morning in the gracious and giving name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! What an awesome day this is to be alive! It is yet another day that you have not seen before. Therefore, you should be rejoicing! This day has been ordained just for you. I am experiencing a brand new mercy. How about you?

I trust this email finds all doing well, as I am.

Romans 8:28- We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.

In life, we encounter the good and the bad. We experience ups and downs,
highs and lows. We are hit with disappointments, turmoil, tragedy and
mishaps. Have you ever questioned GOD as to why certain things happen? Why is it that I had to go through that? What was it all for? What am I going through this?

This morning I come to let you know that all things work together for the good of them that love the Lord.

No matter what the situation, know that it is working for your good. No matter how difficult it may seem, right now, just know that it is working for your good.

Notice that the verse did not say all people work together. It states all things work together. And the condition is for them that love the Lord. Which can be further interpreted, those who are obedient to His Word. For if you truly love Him, you will keep His commandments.

So, I encourage you today......ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THEM WHO LOVE THE LORD!

Make it an EXCELLENT day!
