Greetings in the Wonderful Name of Jesus! God said, “Write the vision, and make it plain upon the tables, that he may run that readeth it.” By vision we mean a clear insight into God’s plan or road map for our lives and ministry. Scripture further tells us in Proverbs 29:18 Pastor James D. Corbett “Where there is no vision, the people perish: …”. We must be people of vision in order to enjoy all that God has for us. Vision allows us to see that which is unseen by the natural eye. Vision motivates and propels towards destiny.

Lady Sarah and I along with the GCCC family invite you and your family to worship and fellowship with us during our Family and Friends Day on Sunday, March 15. The message and theme for this service is Perfect Vision. Join us for a great time in the Word of God, powerful time of worship and an enjoyable time of fellowship. We will also have a cook out and fun outside activities after the 10 am service. Come and bring your family and friends.

There will be a special reception for our Partners during our Family and Friends Day. Please let our greeters know that you are Partners of the Greenville Community Christian Church, Door of Faith Broadcasts, or Word in Season. Lady Sarah and I are looking forward to seeing you at the service and the reception.

I trust that A Word in Season is a continual blessing to you. Make AWIS a part of your daily devotion. You may also send in a letter of testimony about how A Word in Season and this ministry has blessed you. I believe each daily message will speak to you in a special way. Your prayers and offerings of support help sustain this ministry and are appreciated. Thank you. Lady Sarah and I along with our prayer ministry pray for you daily. We love and appreciate you.

Expect A Miracle

Luke 1: 30-31 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.

Can we expect a miracle? Should we expect a miracle? We know about living by faith, but can we expect God to perform a miracle for us? Yes, we can. Just like in this passage of scripture, the angel set Mary up for a miracle. God wants to set you up for a miracle.

Expect a divine visitation. Expect God to move on your behalf. When you are in a season of worship, expect God to do things on your behalf. Expect him to open doors no man can shut. Expect God to do exceeding, abundantly above all you can ask or think according to the power that worketh in you.

We serve a supernatural God. God is beyond what our brain can figure out. God is beyond the natural course of nature. God wants to do far beyond what your mind can comprehend. Expect God to do the supernatural.

Prayer Focus: Lord, I expect you to do the supernatural in my life.

Verse of the Day: Eph 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.

Living the Word: Expect a Miracle!

Expect A Miracle (cont.)

Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Expect a miracle. You may be facing a situation today that you don’t quite know what to do. Expect God to intervene on your behalf. With man, it may seem impossible but with God, all things are possible. God loves you and he wants to show himself strong in your life (2Chron 16:9).

As Christians, we cannot reduce God down to our natural humanistic thinking. God is a supernatural God. Just like God led the children of Israel on dry ground through the Red Sea, expect God to intervene in the course of nature in your situation.

When you need healing, expect a miracle. When your home is in turmoil, expect a miracle. When your finances are all messed up, expect a miracle. When your mind is all confused and you don’t know where to turn or what to do next, expect a miracle.

Prayer Focus: Father, I ask in the name of Jesus that you move in this situation for me.

Verse of the Day: Jer 32:17 Ah Lord God! Behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.

Living the Word: Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

You Have Hope

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Sometimes people will say to you “don’t get your hopes up”. It is an effort to keep you from being disappointed when things don’t turn out the way you think they should. You need to have hope. Without hope, there is no faith and without faith, it is impossible to please God.

Hope gives you an expectation for a favorable outcome. Hope says the Word of God promises me this and I am going to believe God for it. Keep your hope in God. Pray and put your trust in him. God loves you and his favor is upon your life. Expect the miraculous.

God will do something in your life just so that you can see his hand is upon you. He will move on your behalf, just to let you know that it is his favor on you and not anything you have done. God knows you and you are highly favored. So get your hopes up!

Prayer Focus: Lord, I will put my trust in you.

Verse of the Day: Rom 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for it?

Living the Word: My hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.

Hearing the Voice of God

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

As Christians, we should hear and know the voice of God. We need to learn how to hear the voice of God. Learning to hear God’s voice comes in many ways. You can hear his voice through prayer or spending quiet time alone with God. You also hear his voice through his word.

Be attentive in church so you can hear the voice of God through the preached word. God can speak a word to you through the man or woman of God. God will not contradict his word; so major in the word. Keep the word of God flowing on the inside of you.

When you need God to move in a situation in your life, you need something to hang your faith on. Faith begins where the will of God is known, and the will of God is the word of God.

God can and will speak to you as you spend time alone with him in the inner court. The place where only he resides, and you can enter into fellowship with your heavenly Father. Learn to hear the voice of God.

Prayer Focus: Father, I thank you that you are speaking to me and I hear your voice.

Verse of the Day: John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Living the word: Go to church, read your bible, and spend time with God.

Don’t Compromise

Josh 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

There will be times when people will try to encourage you to compromise or lower your standards. Stand strong and make up your mind that you will do this, as unto the Lord. When you stand strong in the things of God, you convict others to do likewise.

When someone is tempted to do wrong or is doing wrong things, they are looking for excuses to continue. Don’t be the reason or excuse they use to continue to do wrong. If someone tries to encourage you to compromise or be in agreement; don’t! The devil wants you to write people off or fall in the trap yourself. Stop saying, “Well, just go on then, and do what you want to do”. Stand your ground. If someone is going in the wrong direction, let them know. Tell them, “No, I’m not in agreement with what you are doing”. Let them know, “This is not about you or me. This is about my relationship with the Lord. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!”

Prayer Focus: Dear Lord, I will not let the enemy weary me and cause me to compromise. I will do everything as unto the Lord and speak the truth.

Verse of the Day: Rom 8:38 (NLT) And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.

Living the Word Today: Be steadfast and stand your ground! Do not compromise!

Let the Lord Refresh You

Gal 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

The devil wants to get you so tired and weary that you lose your refreshing. That’s why we need our Rock in a weary land. Too often, we have been weary and wanted to quit and give up. In the midst of it, make up your mind, “I will do this as unto the Lord”.

Be refreshed and enjoy the refreshing of the Lord. It’s in Him that we live, we move, and have our being; so don’t get weary. The enemy wants to wear you down because when you get weary, you make bad decisions. Sometimes your tiredness is speaking, and you’re not hearing the voice of God.

The Lord is your Rock in your weary land. He’s your stability. You need to be anchored in the Rock. You will stand strong when the winds of adversity begin to blow. You can make it. Stand on the Rock in your weary land. It’s in Him that you will live, be refreshed and not grow weary.

Prayer Focus: Father, we come in the Name of Jesus. We thank you and we praise you, Lord, that you are our Rock in that tough place, in that weary land. Lord, where we need to be refreshed, we know you bring water out of the Rock. We thank you, Lord, that you are that Rock.

Verse of the Day: Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

Living the Word Today: Spend time with God and be refreshed. Rest in the Lord.

Spiritual Water – Part 1

John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

The Bible talks a lot about water. Water is the symbol for the Spirit and the symbol for the Word of God. Biblical statisticians say wa- ter is mentioned 722 times in the Bible. It comes behind Jesus, heaven, love and God. It’s mentioned more than faith, hope, prayer and even worship.

Water is a cleansing and lifesaving agent. In the body, water is one of the six essential nutrients. Two thirds of our body is water. It is the fluid in our bodies, and it carries all the other nutrients. Your brain is 75% water, so if somebody calls you a water head, don’t be offended. It’s a good thing.

Water refreshes, cools, cleanses and hydrates us. It is also nec- essary for digestion. But it has to be fresh water, not just any wa- ter. The Dead Sea is called the Dead Sea because nothing can live in it because there’s too much salt in the water. We need fresh water. It is necessary for life. Like water, God’s Word is our nutrition. It feeds and refreshes us.

Prayer Focus: Lord, we ask that you let water come forth today. Let that time of refreshing come. I want the life of God flowing within me.

Verse of the Day: John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Living the Word Today: Spiritual and natural waters are essen- tial nutrients. Where there is no water, there is no life.

Spiritual Water – Part 2

John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee liv- ing water.

This message is about spiritual water, but it is good to understand the importance of natural water so that you can see the similarity between natural water and spiritual water.

1. Water is essential for the survival of our bodies. A person can live about a month without food, but only about a week without water.

2. Water helps to maintain healthy body weight by increasing your metabolism and regulating your appetite.

3. Drinking water leads to increased energy levels. The most com- mon cause of daytime fatigue is dehydration.

4. Drinking adequate amounts of water can decrease the risk of certain types of cancer, including colon cancer, bladder cancer and breast cancer.

Prayer Focus: Lord, I want to be in health even as my soul pros- pers. Give me a taste for water.

Verse of the Day: John 4:15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

Living the Word Today: The next time you are feeling sluggish, drink water. It will make you feel better.

The Benefits of Water (Cont’d)

3John 2, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

5. For the majority of sufferers, water can significantly reduce joint and back pains.

6. Water can lead to greater health by flushing out waste and bacteria that cause diseases. One study revealed that fat deposits can be flushed out with water.

7. Water can prevent and alleviate headaches.

8. Water delays the aging process by naturally moisturizing the skin. Water gives the skin a healthy glowing appearance.

9. Water aids in the digestive process and helps prevent constipation.

10. Water is the primary mode of transportation for all the nutrients in the body and essential for proper circulation. Your blood is mostly water.

As important as natural water is, God’s living water is more important. Out of your belly should flow rivers of living water.

Prayer Focus: Lord, I will consume myself with natural and living waters. The life of God will flow within me.

Verse of the Day: Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word.

Living the Word Today: Drink more living and natural water. It’s essential.

Let Living Water Flow Out of You

John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

When Jesus met that woman at the well, he said “Whosoever shall drink of the water I shall give him shall never thirst. The water I shall give him shall be a well of water springing up into eternal life”.

God’s Word is our nutrition. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that preceded out of the mouth of God. His Word is our nutrition, it feeds us and it refreshes us. When we are in that dry place, the Word in season, how good it is. It renews our youth. It causes us to have new energy because we have that living water.

We shall go before God, hungry and thirsty for Him. God will satisfy our thirsty souls. When you get to the place where you’re crying out to God and saying, “Lord I need you! I need you more than anything! I need you more than my next breath of air!”, you will then have that thirst for God. He will bring satisfaction to your soul.

Prayer Focus: Lord, I need you more than anything. I will stay in contact with You and let Your living waters flow through me. Holy Spirit, minister to me.

Verse of the Day: Rev 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Living the Word Today: Stay in contact with God by praying in the Holy Ghost and spending time in the Word.

Now Faith

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith brings the future into the now. Faith is now. It is an action word. Most of the time we think of it as static, we don’t think of it as dynamic. Most of the time, we don’t think of it as something that has already happened. “Now faith” is faith that is in the now. When you put things in the future, you are not operating in faith, you are operating in hope. The bible says we have the hope of eternal life. There is nothing wrong with hope, but faith says it’s mine and it’s mine now.

Faith says it’s real to me. When I tell you, “By His stripes I am healed”, my faith is speaking. When you ask me how I am doing, I say “I am blessed of the Lord and I am healed”. Some people think you are just trying to fool them, you are just saying something, you are trying to mimic something, or you are just trying to act like you have faith. I say it because it’s really what I believe. Some people try to talk you out of it. It is real to me. When I tell people I am blessed, it’s not just religious talk to me. It is real. When I tell people I am God’s favorite, they look at me like “Who do you think you are?” I am God’s favorite. You can be too. You should the same attitude that you are God’s favorite, that you are blessed of the Lord. God is big enough to go around. All of us can be the favorite. I have a conviction in my heart. It’s a reality to me that God’s favor is upon my life.

Prayer Focus: Lord, thank you that I can have “Now faith”.

Verse of the Day: 2Cor 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:

Living the Word Today: Make your confession of faith on a daily basis.

Expecting God’s Favor

Rev 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

I expect God’s favor. When I go to a crowded parking lot, I expect to get a parking space. I expect good things to happen to me. I expect that God will open up doors that no man can shut. I expect favor when I wake up in the morning. I don’t have to go out there and manipulate to make it happen. All I have to do is just walk with God.

I expect to get God’s price when I buy something. I’ve learned to expect things from God a long time ago. When our ministry was in its infant stage, we were typing out a newsletter. I called it “Lessons by the Mail”. We needed an electric typewriter. I remember going to Nichols department store that used to be in Greenville. The typewriter had the regular price on it, and it also had a sales price. I didn’t pay either one of those prices. I got it for God’s price. I made them another offer and they took it. Part of your prosperity is buying right.

Some people think that prosperity is having enough money to pay the full price. That’s good if you want to pay it, but there is a better way. God has his own price. God’s price is better.

Prayer Focus: Father, thank you for the favor you have given me in all areas of my life.

Verse of the Day: Psalm 62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

Living the Word Today: Expect God to do what he said he would do.

Believe the Report of the Lord

John 12:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

Before you can get to material prosperity, you must have prosperity for your soul. You can’t be up and down like a yoyo. Every time something comes along or you have an attack in your life, you must get over on faith and say, “I believe the report of the Lord. I believe what thus saith the Lord. Nay, in all these things I am more than a conqueror. I shall not be moved. All things might come, but they won’t come by me. Things can be falling all around me, but yet I am still walking by faith because it’s in Christ that I live and move and have my being”.

Get over on faith and dare to believe God. Watch how God will turn that situation around for you. Your situation is not too hard for God. You need to get some of that “Now faith”.

Prayer Focus: Lord, I believe I have the victory over all negative situations and circumstances in my life.

Verse of the Day: Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Led By the Spirit

Acts 8:26-30: And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

Philip was headed to his next assignment. God spoke to Philip and gave him specific instructions. Philip had to be in a position to hear the voice of God. When he heard what the Spirit was telling him to do, he did it. Because he was led by the Spirit, he was able to lead this man to Christ.

God interrupted Philip’s plans. He took a side journey. But God had a plan that did not prevent Philip from arriving at his destination. God supernaturally took Philip to his destination.

When we get God’s plan for our lives, it is better than the plan we have for ourselves. Our plans are based on limited knowledge. With God, there is no limit. He sees what you cannot see and knows what you don’t know. We need to hear and heed the directions God is giving. He knows your outcome.

Prayer Focus: Father, help me, to hear you and obey you.

Verse of the Day: Jer 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Feed On the Word Consistently

Pro 4:20-23 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

The word of God is a guide for us. We have to become so full of the word of God that we are like wet sponges. If you take a sponge and put it on the counter where water has been spilled, that sponge will absorb that water until it cannot hold anymore.

If you take that same sponge which has absorbed that spill and squeeze it, then whatever is in that sponge will come out. Some- times in life, things pressure us, and it may feel like we are being squeezed. We have to be like that sponge when we are squeezed so that what is in us comes out.

The key is that we must be so full of the word of God that when we feel the squeeze of test and trials, the only thing that comes out of us is what the word of God says. What we allow in us is what will come out of us. Just like that sponge, whatever it absorbs, that and only that, will come out.

What we put in us, that and only that will come out of us. We must make the word of God a priority and feed on it consistently.

Prayer Focus: Father, let the words of my mouth and the medita- tion of my heart be acceptable in your sight.

Verse of the Day: Ps. 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Praying In the Spirit

Jude 20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

As a spirit filled believer, baptized in the Holy Ghost with the evi- dence of speaking in tongues, we need to use this gift that God has given us. We should pray in the Holy Ghost, often. The scrip- ture states this will build you up, which causes you to be more sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

When we are sensitive to the voice of God, we can hear the voice of God. Hearing God helps us to stand when we are faced with the pressures of life. God can give us direction in the midst of the situations.

As believers, we all face similar types of situations at some point in our lives. The Bible tells us that no temptation has taken us that is not common to man. Our foundation, and what’s on the inside of us, will determine if we stand. We have the greater one living on the inside us. When we are led by the Holy Spirit through prayer, we can overcome test and trials.

The scripture tells us that when we pray in the Holy Ghost we are praying to God the Father. Although we may not understand what we pray, God does. So pray in the Holy Ghost and keep yourself built up.

Prayer Focus: Father, thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Verse of the Day: Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all persever- ance and supplication for all saints;

Keep the Temple Clean

1Cor 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

God commands us as believers to be holy for he is holy. A clean temple also means having a clean heart. God commands us not to defile our temple. He dwells within us. We have to clean up our lives. If we have things in our lives that are not supposed to be there, we must clean it up.

Psalm 24:4 tells us that only those with clean hands and a pure heart will stand in God’s holy place. If you don’t clean up your life, exposure will come. Some people wait and repent after they have been exposed. You cannot have hidden things in your heart against people. Don’t wait until you’re in a test or a trial of some kind and then repent. Repent of those things before the test comes. It will be much easier for you to stay in faith.

Isaiah 59:2 tells us that when there is sin in our lives, our face is hidden from God and he does not hear our prayers. We need to keep our temple clean so that our prayers are heard.

Prayer Focus: Father, I want to have a clean temple. Forgive me for anything that is not pleasing in your sight in my life.

Verse of the Day: Ps. 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Listen With Your Heart

Prov 4:20-24 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.

It is with our heart that we contact the Spirit of God. Listening with your heart is not listening with the organ within. It is listening with the spiritual part of you. God has created you; a spiritual being. We must be in tune to the voice of God. He leads us from within.

As spirit filled believers, we listen with our hearts and should be guided by peace from within. Col 3:15 states “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you are called in one body; and be thankful”. When there is no peace in our lives, we are out of the will of God.

When you are trying to force something to work, such as a relationship, you need to listen with your heart. If you must have someone validate your situation or you’re trying to prove why it is ok, then it is not ok. God gives us leadership and guidance from our heart. We have to allow his peace to rule in our hearts. It is from our hearts that the issues of life flow.

Prayer Focus: Father, help me to listen with my heart.

Verse of the Day: Matt 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Victory Assured

2Cor 10:-3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Victory is assured if you continue in the things of God. God “always causes us to triumph” through Christ. Don’t give up-“fight the good fight of faith”; Don’t quit-“Keep walking by faith”. Your outcome shall always be victory! Shout about it now.

James 1:2-3 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

Trust God- He will See You Through

Phil. 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

As believers we should be confident that the Lord will see us through the tough times. His word says, He will never leave us nor forsake us. The Lord is the one that causes all things to work together for our good because we love Him and are the called according to His purpose.

Our Father loved us so much that He gave His son, Jesus, to die for our deliverance. Now through His son, God freely gives us all things. We must be fully persuaded that God can and will perform that which He promised.

When the trials are tough, remember The Greater One lives big in you. When the situation looks hopeless, look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith. When condemnation comes and says, “you are the biggest failure”, remind yourself that there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. When temptation is bombarding you, trust God to keep you from falling, to deliver you out of temptation and to present you faultless. Trust God!

Prayer Focus: Father, in you I trust. Please forgive me for not fully trusting you.

Verse of the Day: Ps. 37:3-5 Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

Living the word: Put your trust in the Lord. Confess your trust and faith in God. Remember where he brought you from.

Trust God for Direction

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

God wants favor to come upon your life. He wants doors to open for you supernaturally. When they tell you no, God says go back to the same person.

When I bought the land that my house is on today, I went to the bank and tried to get things worked out. They told me no. They said, “No we can’t do it”. I said, “okay”. I was thinking to myself, if you can’t do it, somebody can do it. But, then the Lord wouldn’t let me go anywhere else. Two or three days before Christmas, the Lord spoke to me and said “Go back to that same bank”. I was thinking, they already told me no. I understand the word ‘no”. No means no until God says yes.

So I went back to the same bank and thirty minutes later I walked out with the loan. I had the papers signed and everything. God sent me back to the same bank. I told you this story to build your faith up. God will give you favor with people.

Prayer Focus: Father, help me to listen and trust you for all things in my life.

Verse of the Day: Psalm 119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

God Will Turn Things Around

Isaiah 43:18-19 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

If you have someone on your job giving you a hard time, God will turn things around. God will give you favor. Get your attitude right and let God fix it. The reason, sometimes, you are having it so tough is because you are trying to operate by the old you and not seeing God do a fresh and new thing in your life. You are trying to control people with attitude and personality. If you would get over on faith and say “God, you fix this right here”, God will fix things.

When your children have bumped their heads, God says, “I got this, back off let me have them”. They won’t even know what hit them. If you have a husband or wife who is acting like he or she doesn’t have any sense, get on your knees and start talking to the Lord. Your knees ought to be tough with callouses because you are doing so much praying.

Spend time in the inner court. Start confessing and believing what thus says the Lord.

Prayer Focus: Lord, forgive me for trying to control the people in my life. I give them over to you.

Verse of the Day: Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever, ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them.

Supernatural Debt Cancellation

2Cor 8:9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

A preacher once said, “No matter how much debt you have, in twelve months you can be out of debt”. You are probably thinking, you don’t understand my situation. You don’t know how hard it is. When you start talking like that you just stay in debt. Because you are looking at what you can do. You never think that God can fix it, supernaturally. God can speak to one situation and one circumstance and change all of your debt instantly. There are some people that have started speaking this and have come out of debt. God can take you off of a fixed income and fix it right. He is just looking for somebody that would dare to believe him. Is it you? I dare you to call yourself debt free. Not just say it but mean it.

There is no shortage with God. Why are you limiting God saying, “This is too much; I can’t do this; this is too big”? Who told you that? God says He wants to do something for you just because you serve Him and set your love upon Him. He wants to bless you just because you are His. He wants to bless you because you made a decision to live clean and to live Holy. He wants people to see what He has done in your life and from where he has brought you.

Prayer Focus: Lord, thank you for the many blessings you have given me.

Verse of the Day: Ps 115:14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

Speaking Your World into Existence

Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

What could happen if we stopped limiting God to what we can see and understand? Do you really believe that there is a supernatural God who has all power in his hand? A God who can change situations and circumstances around you? A God who knows everything? He knows where the resources are.

God can touch the heart of sinful man and turn things around. God will make people bless you who don’t even like you. Get your confession lined up with God’s Word and speak faith. Some people are ashamed to speak faith. They say, “what if I say it and nothing happens?” If you don’t get anything, you are not in any worse situation than you were before! What will you dare speak into existence today?

Some of you won’t speak things into existence because you are thinking about your reputation and what if this thing doesn’t work for you. The world was framed by the Word of God. Your world is being framed by the Word of God. You are speaking your world into existence and God is confirming what you say. He said, “I will create the fruit of the lips. Death and life are in the power of the tongue”. You are creating your world today.

Prayer Focus: Heavenly Father, from this day forward I will be mindful of what I say.

Verse of the Day: Isa 57:19 I create the fruit of the lips:

Learn to Speak Your Faith

Mark 5:25-34 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse ,When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace and be whole of thy plague.

This lady had an issue of blood for many years. She said, “If I may but touch the hem of his garment I shall be whole”. She spoke her faith. When she released her faith she pressed through the crowd and touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and immediately the fountain of her blood ceased. She was healed and delivered.

What have you been saying? What are you confessing? You shall have what you say. Death and life are in the power of the tongue and God is the one who creates the fruit of your lips.

Prayer Focus: Father, I place my confidence in your word, and I choose to speak my faith.

Verse of the Day: 2Cor 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Tell Others About Jesus

Acts 5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

It is important that we tell others about Jesus. We have to give a good report of who He is and what he has done for us. Talk about His healing power. Tell about His delivering power. Tell the story of where God has brought you from and what He has brought you through.

Sometimes we have testimonies and we don’t want to share them because we are ashamed of where we came from. The shame is not where we come from; the shame is to still be there when there is a way out. God is our deliverer. He is our source.

I thank God for people who are bold enough to say I was messed up but God turned me around. I am still a work in progress and not where I want to be, but I’m not what I used to be! Thank God I am what I am by the grace of Almighty God. He took me out of the miry clay and set my feet upon a rock and established my goings. Thank God for where He has brought me from. Thank God for what He has brought me through.

Prayer Focus: Father, I thank you for your Son, Jesus Christ. I thank you that He came that I might have abundant life which consists of health, prosperity and wisdom.

Verse of the Day: John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Worship Fervently

2Chr 20:18-19 And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD. And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.

Jehoshaphat and the children of Israel had three armies gathered together against them. Jehoshaphat did not know what to do. He called for the priest and inquired of God to see what he needed to do. The Lord told him he did not need to fight in this battle. Get Judah! Get the singers and put them out front and let them say, “The Lord is good and His mercy endures forever.” Let them praise me. As they were praising God those three armies all of a sudden started fighting one another. When the children of Israel got to the camp, they found dead bodies and an abundance of riches and precious jewels. There was so much stuff it took them three days to carry it all away.

What the enemy meant for their harm, God turned it around and used it for their good. In the midst of your test, in the midst of your storm, dare to praise and worship God. There are some things you just have to praise and worship your way through. Some of the greatest breakthroughs in life can come from praise and worship.

Get beyond flesh and just praise and worship God. Get in the inner court and worship God fervently. Give Him praise; give Him glory and the honor due to His name.

Prayer Focus: Father, I thank you; for you are good and your mercy endures forever.

Verse of the Day: 2Chr 20:21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever

The Lifter Up of Mine Head

Psalm 3:3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head

The Lord is the one who takes our brokenness and brings healing to our lives. Therefore we can always put our trust and confidence in Him. When we go through this journey called life, there are many things that come our way. Some try to steal our joy, but the good news is our hope is in the Lord.

The Bible says in Psalm 42:5 “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance”. When you find yourself down, or find yourself going through, and it looks like your joy is trying to flee from you, ask yourself, “Why am I cast down? Hasn’t God been good to me? Didn’t God bring deliverance to my life? Didn’t God take a life like mine that was shipwrecked, broken and destined for hell, and turned me around and made me whole?”. He pulled you up out of the miry clay and set your feet upon a rock and established you.

Lift up your head. The Lord is the lifter up of your head. In other words don’t be looking down like you don’t know what you are going to do next. Stop asking yourself, “how am I going to make it?”. God is good. Not only is He good some of the time, He is good all of the time. We as believers need to turn to the Lord in the midst of our pain, and in the midst of our sorrow. God is our strength and God is our source.

Prayer Focus: Father, I thank you that you are the lifter up of my head and I will yet praise you.

Verse of the Day: Ps 42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Living the Word Today: Praise God for being the lifter of up of your head.

The Lifter Up of Mine Head pt. 2

Psa 3:1-3 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head

Don’t allow brokenness and heaviness to set in on you. You go through things in life, in general. Sometimes things don’t go right on the job; sometimes in the home. Sometimes your money wants to act a little funny. All kinds of things can come up! But in the midst of it all, God is still God. He has not left the throne. The joy of the Lord is still our strength. The Lord said, “These things have I spoken unto you that my joy might remain in you and that your joy might remain full.” Put a smile on your face and start rejoicing in the God of your salvation!

Quit telling God the problem and how big the problem is; tell your problem how big your God is! Don’t pray to God what the devil told you, pray the Word back to God. God said, “put me in remembrance”. Therefore you need to put God in remembrance of what His Word says.

What did the Word say? It says, Nay in all these things you are more than a conqueror. I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. Don’t go to God with all that doubt and unbelief; talking about what can’t happen and what you don’t have. Go to God and say, “God your Word says, that with long life you will satisfy me. So, Lord, I thank you for that now. Lord, you said in your Word you would supply all my need according to your riches in glory. Lord, you said if I give, it shall be given unto me. I have given, Lord, so I expect it to be given unto me. Lord, you are my source, you are my strength, you are my deliverer, you are my healer and Lord, I just thank you for it now and I give you the glory and I give you praise”!

Prayer Focus: Father, I choose to say what your Word says about me.

Verse of the Day: Psa 3:4-5 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

Rejoice and Sing Praises to God

Psa 27:5-6 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

This is the day the Lord has made, so let us rejoice and be glad in it. Today I am going to rejoice. I am not going to walk around with sorrow and pain. I’m going to walk around rejoicing. The Bible says if a man is to have friends he must show himself friendly. So I am going to be friendly and I believe God will cause the right friends to be in my life. I am not going to sit here lonely talking about I have no friends. I am going to just do the Word of God and I expect God to send the right people in my life.

So I am going to lift up my head. I am going to walk upright. I am going to talk about the goodness of the Lord. If anybody asks me how I am doing today, I am blessed. I’m highly favored. The goodness of the Lord is being manifested in my life. Therefore, I don’t have a sad testimony. I don’t have a sad story because God is so good to me. I’m just a blessed person.

In the time of your trouble, God shall lift your head. Why, because the Lord is the one who lifts up your head. The Lord is the one who causes rejoicing to come to my heart. So, in the midst of all this, I can give God glory. I can give God praise.

Prayer Focus: Lord, your Word says that there is nothing too hard for you. My situation seems very difficult for me; it does not seem like I can make it out of this, but your Word says that there is nothing too hard for you and I can cast my care over on you.

Verse of the Day: 1Pet 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

The Lord is My Shepherd

Psa 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Everybody knows or may have learned as a kid, the 23rd Psalm. In this Psalm, God says He is going to bless you in the presence of your enemies. He said He would put a banquet table out in the midst and tell you to come and sit down at the table and let them see the blessings of God. Those who thought you were destined for failure; God will let them see the glory that He’s put upon your life. The world will know. God wants to do some things openly.

You might have not been voted most likely to succeed but look what God has done for you! Look where God has brought you from. Look at what God has brought you through. If the enemy had his way, you would not have made it this far. By the grace of Almighty God and because God is so good, you are here today! Most of us today can say “I am glad I did not get justice because if I had gotten justice, I would not have made it; but because of your goodness, Lord, I am still here today. Lift up your head and give God praise, give God glory. He will prepare a table before you, in the presence of your enemies!

Prayer Focus: Father, thank you for being my Shepherd. I know that I can safely trust in you. Lord I thank you for mercy. I thank you for grace.

Verse of the Day: John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
