Stop Blaming God

A lot of us need to stop blaming God for things He didn’t do. If you’ve been on this earth for long I’m sure you’ve experienced pain, loss and heartache. This was not from God.  The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy but Jesus came that we may have abundant life in the face of our enemy. God is redeeming! He is good! It’s time to detach those things you’ve blamed Him for. 

“This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.”

‭‭I John‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Promises

Hold on to God’s promises.  He is faithful to fulfill them. He who has begun a good work in you will complete it!

Happy, Joyous and Free

God is happier when you’re happy. 

Yes, it’s Monday but that’s no reason to be down.  We have a loving Father who cares for you deeply! A loving father who wants His kids to be happy. 🙂

“They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will rejoice in the bounty of the Lord — the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, the young of the flocks and herds. They will be like a well-watered garden, and they will sorrow no more. Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.”

-‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭31:12-13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Increase Our Faith

“And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”” -‭‭Luke‬ ‭17:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Wow! This is a powerful verse.  The apostles who had seen countless miracles after being taught on forgiving all who sin against them asked Jesus to increase their faith. 

If the Apostles needed to ask this, I need to ask this!

Faith comes from God and is a gift.  It’s not something I can “muster up” (believe me I’ve tried). No, faith comes from God.

God I ask that you raise up a faith-filled, mountain moving generation. Increase our faith Lord! Increase our faith. 

Mercy Triumphs

“Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.” ‭‭-Psalms‬ ‭24:3-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Do you ever read these kinds of verses and get reminded of your past thinking, “That’s not me, my hands aren’t clean.” The Lord reminded me that’s a lie from Satan the accuser. Jesus has made us clean and given us a pure heart! Not to mention this verse was written by David who committed adultery and murder but still became known as the man after God’s heart. 

“You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.”‭‭ -John‬ ‭15:3‬ ‭NKJV‬

God’s love, mercy and grace triumphs over judgement through Christ!

A Prayer for Boldness and Signs and Wonders

“Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.”‭‭Acts‬ ‭4:29-31‬ ‭NIV‬

Lord, stretch out your hand upon us. May we not grow weary from opposition and accusations but boldly proclaim the truth of Your love and goodness to the lost. Fill us to overflow Holy Spirit and let signs and wonders accompany our ministry to proclaim the light and glory of Jesus to the world! 

We see You moving Lord. We hear Your loving kindness towards us.  We perceive You are doing a new thing.  Bring the prodigals home God.  Raise up your army of saints to go to the plow and accomplish your will on earth as it is in heaven. 

His Goodness

We will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! 

Open our eyes to see Lord.

Don’t Give Up

““Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.”‭‭John‬ ‭14:1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

There’s been a lot of anxiety, depression and fear lately but the Lord is calling us to return to our hope! Do not give up, you believe in God who is unstoppable. 

Understand that He has not forgotten His promises.  Know that He is still good and has not given up on you.  Have faith and believe! Believe that He is who He says He is and that His word is truth.

“Return to the stronghold, You prisoners of hope. Even today I declare That I will restore double to you.”‭‭ Zechariah‬ ‭9:12‬ ‭NKJV

A Prayer of Power

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. -Psalm 32:8

God is raising up an army of warriors that pray a very dangerous prayer, dangerous to the powers of darkness that is.  This prayer is so simple but yet so powerful.  The key to revival lies in three simple words:

Thy will be done

Pray it, mean it and yield to His will.  Watch God work in you and through you.  

Raise em up Lord!

Abundance of Rain

In California we’ve been experiencing a drought. Last winter we barely had any rain and even now that it’s November we have still yet to see much at all.  Through this literal drought I myself have experienced a spiritual drought.  It’s been a time of dryness, hiddness, aridity or whatever adjective you want to call it.  But what it comes down to is not a backslide, just a season where I have not been hearing from the Lord and experiencing His presence like I have in past seasons.  

Lately though, the weather is starting to change.  The weather experts are predicting massive rain fall this year and God is predicting the same spiritually.  There’s a stirring in my spirit that says an abundance of rain is coming! That is literal and spiritual rain. We’ve only had some light storms so far but God is speaking again and I expect this to build and build through the coming months.  So be of good cheer! There is a reason for every season… as cheesy as it sounds it’s true. God has not left you nor I. He’s been teaching us faith. Many great times of fullness of joy in His presence are on the forecast.  

“Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.”” -‭‭I Kings‬ ‭18:41‬ ‭NKJV‬
