What have you been believing God for over the last weeks, months or even years? Did it seem like it would never come? Are you weary in the waiting? My friend, I received an encouraging word from the Lord today and I just gotta share it with you.
As I prepare to embark on an upcoming project next week, one that I have prayed about and waited for ever since I arrived in Florida in 2007, God has come through to me today to call me to believe Him for it and act out of a place of faith and victory!
Holy Spirit brought me this song as I was walking Jesse with Denny this morning. It's called "Won't stop now!" I hope you will pull that up in You Tube Music and listen. Pay close attention to the lyrics! They are 'spot on' to help us know that whatever He has brought you and I through up to this point is all a preparation to step into what He has had for us to do all along. His presence is the open door to the signs, wonders and miracles that we have been believing for.
It's time to be fully surrendered to His will, His way, trusting fully that He who began this good work is faithful to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus' return for us! His grace is enough, and His power is made perfect in our human weakness.
Today this verse came up and it is so hard, but so worth it; Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it."
Our call to follow Jesus was never meant to be easy. He knew that for Himself. What He did for us was ugly, hard, brutal and bloody! What He is calling us to do is NOT easy! No! But He is worth it. It is time for us, His body, to rise up and carry whatever cross He calls us to carry every single day.
As we do, we will see the awesome amazing move of Holy Spirit in our lives and through our lives. Friend do not grow weary in well doing. Get committed! Get on fire for Jesus! Press in and know that He is with us and will never leave us helpless to do this on our own.
He gave us great and precious promises to believe for. Things like healing, deliverance, restoration and the ability to be used by Him to bring many into the kingdom of God. With God, all these things are possible. Let's pray for one another and encourage each other. Let's take up our cross and go after all that God has promised us. The breakthrough really is coming! Believe it, receive it and lay hold of it by faith.
Remember, do not speak anything but victory over yourself, your family, friends and neighborhood, your city, state and our nation. Speak life and lay hold friend! God bless you in your journey, and hold on, because the best is yet to come.
We hope this encourages you. Pray, trust, believe, wait and see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. He is faithful.
May God bless you as you make it a great week!
