Suddenly

The “silent times” are never fun, but just wait, your “suddenly time” is coming. Don’t hate the time in the wilderness, but grow and mature.

When you are going through a time in your life when it seems like no one sees you, no recognizes you, you feel like you are alone and no one cares; know that it will soon be over.  We all go through the “silent times” during our life, but don’t give up.  Your day is right around the corner.  Know that very soon you will have a breakthrough “suddenly” time. Take this time to build your character and integrity. Work on the things that will enable you to be the person you were created to be.  Don’t focus on the negativity of this time, but know that it is a time of growing and building.  There is a positive side to the “silent times.”  Your breakout day is close!

Bless You

I want to declare words of blessing over you. I want to call forth your seeds of greatness. Someone may have told you what you can’t become, but I’m here to tell you what you can become. 

You are a person of destiny. You are equipped. You are talented. You are creative. You were designed for a purpose. You are loved, chosen and accepted by God. There is nothing you can do to make Him love you more and nothing you can do to make Him love you less. His grace is sufficient for you. His angels have charge over you. You are blessed coming in and blessed going out. You have uncommon wisdom. You have uncommon joy. You have uncommon peace. He is your vindicator, and He will fight for you!

God Knew

God knew you before you were even born! He saw you and said, “I have a purpose for this life. I have good plans for them!” Then He breathed His life into you and sent you through your mother and father. They may have had issues, but that doesn’t have to stop you from becoming all that God intended you to be. You have been handpicked by God to be here at this time in history!

Sometimes we hear parents say, “We weren’t expecting this child. They were a surprise. They were an accident.” No, that child may have been a surprise to you, but they weren’t a surprise to God. No child can be born without God breathing His life into them. You may think, “Well, I was unwanted. I was an unplanned pregnancy.” No, you wouldn’t be here if God didn’t give life to your seed.

In God’s eyes, there is no such thing as being illegitimate. Remember, He knew you before you were ever born! Find confidence in His love knowing that you are a person of destiny, and you are part of His mighty plan!

No More

I heard somebody say, “Don’t let your heredity stop your destiny.” Don’t let the way somebody treated you, or what they did or didn’t give you keep you from pressing forward and becoming all that God has created you to be. The people who raised you may have had addictions, but that doesn’t have to be your future. You can be the one to break that negative cycle. Your parents may have had anger issues or never amounted to much, but you don’t have to keep letting that curse be passed from generation to generation. You can be the one to say, “No more. This is a new day! I may have had an unfair past, but I’m not going to have an unfair future. I know that God put a blessing on me before anybody could put a curse, and I’m not going to let my heredity stop my destiny.”

Today, know that God is for you. When you choose to put Him first place in your life, then nothing can stop your destiny!

I See

It pains me when I see people with unresolved issues, insecurities, anger, unforgiveness, and low self image. Hurting people; hurt people. Encouraged people; encourage people.

We all have something that we are dealing with in our life.  You maybe facing something that seems to be overwhelming to you.  You may feel like all the pressure in the world is coming against you.  These issues if not dealt with can lead to insecurities, anger, unforgiveness and then to self image problems.  No matter what you are facing today; be encouraged.  Know that it will soon end.  I could go on about the better days are coming cliques.  However, I do want you to know, that right now you are right where you are supposed to be.  You may not think so, but just know that if you will do what is right no matter what, then everything is going to be all right and alright.  Just stay with it and don’t you give up.  Don’t fold under that pressure.  You are not alone.  Be assured that your best days are coming soon!

Stife

Get the strife out of your life right now! A home, marriage, business, relationship, or team can’t stand if they are divided. Get the truth and love in there today!

It has been many different ways; ‘that a house divided will fall.’  This is the case in many different types of houses.  The strife or division can be in us.  If we are not doing what we were put here to do; then there is division inside of us.  We are divided in our heart.  There is division or strife in our minds and even in our bodies.  Any time we are not lined up with our destiny and purpose then there is some division in us.  To eliminate division from your life know the truth and love today.  Without truth and love operating in our life each day, we are going to have division.   How do we get the division and strife out of our life? We put in truth and love.  Truth and love will drive out division.  When we have perfected love in us, then we won’t have strife.  Perfect love eliminates strive.  Begin replace division and strive with truth and love today.  See your home, marriage, relationships, team and business go new levels.  Today is your greatest day ever!

Tired

There are times in our life that we get all tired; tired of trying to make it financially, tired of dealing with a sickness, tired of raising a difficult child, tired of being lonely, waiting for our break to come.  

We can even be doing the right thing, the thing we love, living in the house of our dreams, raising great kids, in the best school, best job, but if we are not careful we can lose our passion and get tired.  The problem is if you allow yourself to lose focus, you will be tempted to quit, to quit growing, quit standing for that child, quit believing to get healthy, or quit pursing your goals and dreams.  That’s why you have to keep pushing forward and believing. Don’t give up when your breakthrough is right around the corner.  God promises He will renew your strength.  You will be able to do the things you were created to do.  When we stay focused and trust God we will see our situations turn around. Today is your day to get your second wind and grow.

Looking Ahead

It’s easy to get stuck in a rut and go year after year coasting on auto-pilot, expecting the same thing, same problems, same income, same everything.  But it’s time to start expecting something new for 2012.

Our God is a God of increase. That means as a child of God we shouldn’t be at the same level in 2012 as we were in 2011.  We should be increasing.  It all starts with what you are expecting.  Are you expecting God’s favor in your life for 2012? It’s time to believe for increase.  Let go of little dreams, little goals, and little plans because God is a surpassing God; He does exceedingly abundantly above and beyond what we could ever ask; imagine or think.  Be encouraged and inspired to rise up higher in 2012. Remember, those whose hope is in the Lord will not be disappointed. Your best days are right around the corner.

LIft It Up

When it comes to encouragement I know that everyone of us loves working for and with people who bring out the best in us. We love being around people who uplift us and make us feel great. And while we’ll always remember the negative people who told us we couldn’t accomplish something, we will always cherish and hold a special place in our heart for those who encouraged us.

Today I want to encourage you to be an encourager. So often the difference between success and failure is belief. And so often that belief is instilled in us by someone who encouraged us. Decide to be that person who instills a positive belief in someone who needs to hear your encouraging words. Uplift someone who is feeling down. Fuel your team with your positive energy. Rally others to focus on what is possible rather than what seems impossible. Share encouragement. It matters and we all need it.

Building Up

With so many people in the world telling us we can’t succeed, we need to hear people telling us we can. Too often we think it’s our role to inject a dose of “reality” into someone’s life. We think it’s our job to protect people from the pain of failure and defeat. We think we must point out how bad the economy is and how horrible the job market is and how the sky is falling. We think that dreams were meant for others.

I say there are enough pessimists and “realists” in the world. The world doesn’t need more negativity and impossible thinkers. The world needs more optimists, encouragers, and inspirers. The world needs more people to speak into the hearts of others and say “I believe in you.” “Follow your passion and live your purpose.” “If you have the desire then you also have the power to make it happen.” “Keep working hard.” “You’re improving and getting better. Keep it up.” “The economy is tough but you can still grow your business.” “The job market is not great but I believe you’ll find the right job for you.” “We’ve hit a lot of obstacles but we’ll get the project finished.” “Even if you fail it will lead to something even better.” “You’re learning and growing.” I encourage you today to encourage someone during your day.
