Inspiration – Words of Hope and Encouragement in Times of Trouble!

Hope and Encouragement is on the Way

Hope and encouragement is available in times of trouble.

If you are in an emotionally, physically, or financially difficult spot…

…do not become discouraged.

Throughout history, during very troubling times, God provided words of hope and encouragement.

 God is For Us

“’For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” (Jeremiah 29:11)

We must understand a very important truth, if we are going to overcome trials and reach our full potential: God is for us. He is not against us.

Even if our current situation is due to discipline or judgment for our own disobedience, God still provides us with a promise of victory and deliverance. God never leaves His people hopeless, even when they drift in their love for Him.

Do Not Fear

Right now, your faith may be confronted with a terrifying unknown. You may be facing a fearful situation and feel hopeless; as if you will barely survive.

But hear this: God does not want us to be afraid of the future. Jesus often said “Do not be afraid” and “Peace be with you” in order to give comfort and show understanding.

Faith Check-up

In times of trouble it is good to evaluate and adjust our faith, and rediscover a deep need for the Lord. We see God often use trials to position us for greater blessing.

You may not understand how God will deliver you, but you can be sure that He will. Take courage and believe that He will calm the raging storm surrounding you, and you will witness the clouds breaking apart.

Eternal Hope

The Lord always has our best in mind; even while we experience great disappointment. God’s desire is for us to see Him as our only source of salvation and blessing. In the book of Revelation, God gives to each believer a message of eternal hope. It reminds us to not be afraid and describes God’s eternal triumph.

“The Lord will come again, and in the coming of the Lord lies the great hope of the believer, his great stimulus to overcome evil.” – Charles Spurgeon

Wisdom and Hope for Today

Through the Word of God we get the wisdom and direction we need to face any and every situation; today and in the future.

So, go ahead now and do your part. Ask the Lord for help and to reveal His will and plan for your life. Commit yourself fully to Him. Walk in obedience to His Word no matter what the cost. If you take this approach, God will provide for you in ways that go far beyond human understanding. Have hope and be encouraged: God is with us.

May your hope be in God and your life full of growing prosperity!

God bless you,

Abundant Prosperity – What Kind of Faith Delivers the Goods?

Discover the Faith Needed to Manifest Abundance!

Abundant prosperity requires living by the right kind of faith.

It is through faith that we touch the very source of life.

If we could measure a man’s faith we could come very near to predicting accurately the measure of his success in life.

TWO KINDS OF FAITH

There is a specific kind of faith that will deliver the abundant goods for a prosperous life. The kind of faith required is heart faith.

BELIEVING WITH YOUR HEAD FAITH

First let’s talk about the kind of faith that does NOT deliver the goods – head faith.

Chances are; you’ve heard of this type of faith found in a man often referred to as ‘Doubting Thomas’. Thomas did not believe the other disciples when they said they saw the Lord. Thomas only believed after he himself saw Jesus. Jesus said blessed are those that have NOT seen, and yet believed. (You can read this account in John chapter twenty of the Bible.)

The point is: head faith only believes what it can see and feel and is based on mental reasoning.

BELIEVING WITH YOUR HEART FAITH

Heart faith is what delivers the goods.

Heart faith believes regardless of what it sees and in spite of circumstances.

No wonder Abraham is a primary example of someone whose faith was of the heart. In Romans chapter four it says Abraham believed in what was spoken even though he couldn’t see it. He didn’t consider the present situation in unbelief, but was strong in faith and fully persuaded.

What happens when you have real faith of the heart? Faith in your heart produces results.

By the way, it’s no surprise that a lot of people struggle with the fact they have doubt in their minds. But I want to point out that you can still get results even when you have some doubts in your mind.

We are bombarded with thoughts constantly. However, it is the ones we choose to meditate and focus on that get into our heart.

Jesus said we can have what we Say if we do not doubt in our Heart. (Mark 11:23) And then Proverbs 3:5 tells us to trust the Lord with all our Heart, and lean not on our own understanding (thoughts and feelings).

The simple fact of the matter is this: True faith is of the heart and not the head. What is in the heart of our being is who we are and what we become.

“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7

Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. So take time to listen to the Word in the area you believe to receive.

Doesn’t it make sense to harness this dynamic heart faith and produce abundant prosperity in your life? Now you can. And confessing and speaking powerful verses and phrases from the Word of God is one of the most effective ways to get the ball rolling and attract abundance.

May you live by heart faith and continue to experience growing prosperity!

Discover Hope to Stand Steadfast When the Storms of Life Are Blowing Through

Inspiration to Renew Your Hope by Tapping Into the
Supernatural Source!

Hope is a choice. You might be saying, “There is no hope, so I might as well give up.” But I’m here to tell you as long as you have breath, there is hope to be had.

Keep in mind that your faith works with hope.

If faith is the substance of things hoped for, then there has to be some hope in the mix. Once you give up hope, there is nothing for your faith to give substance to.

Hope also gives your faith some direction.

Hope says “This is the target I’m aiming at”. It states what you are standing in faith believing for.

The great thing about hope is that it’s free. So you have no excuse not to use it.

What storms of life are you facing today?

Sickness and disease, loss of loved ones, financial lack, broken relationships, poor environmental conditions, and spiritual turmoil and separation from God are just a sample of the common trials going on all around us.

Looking at these trials, it is easy to see why so many decide to throw in the towel and give up hope.

If you’ve reached that point, then do as Abraham did when he felt the situation seemed hopeless. He believed in hope. Yes, he chose to believe in hope.

Are you with me still? Not only is there hope available, but there is a source for supernatural help. And you’ll find it the same place Abraham did; in the God of hope.

“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.”
– Romans 15:13

If your situation, doctors, relatives, friends, test results, bank statements, and news reports say there is no hope; then there is no better time to side with God. It is never too late to turn to the Word of God and find hope that is always available!

Are you just plain fed up?

Find out what God’s Word says about your situation and begin speaking it over your life, because hope makes demands by speaking. Quit fretting and complaining about the unfortunate condition of your present situation and lift your head and face toward the light.

Say to yourself:

“I am a child of God and I am intended to express joy and success. I am victory minded and I was created to win out in life. I have hope in the Lord and renew my strength. His power in me helps me overcome every circumstance and makes my future bright.”

The truth of the matter is: We can allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by discouragement and lose hope, or we can choose to rise above it. You’re still breathing, so choose hope.

May your hope be renewed and your life full of growing prosperity!

God bless you -
Cheers,
Brenda

Funny How People Are Video

“Funny” Video by Evangelist Daniele Luciano Moskal

A great reminder of the importance of self-examination and living a committed life to the One who saved us!

Our faith needs to be in the Word of God, not in the things of the world. God needs to always be first in our life and then He’ll help us with all the other life stuff.

On that same note - I want to share a quote from a friend in regards to this same subject and relationships . . . who stated it right on . . .

“Most people are not sold out for Jesus, so they never sell out to “each other”.  I guess what I mean is “commitment”.  There seems to be a lack of that out there these days.  If one doesn’t know how to fully commit to Jesus, then they don’t understand how they need to commit to that other person.  So it seems like just as many Christian marriages and relationships fail as in the world.”

May we keep our hearts open to let the Living God continue to work in our lives!

God bless you,
Brenda

Abundance – God Says Your Cup Runs Over! What Do You Say?

Put Your Trust In God and Speak His Truth Over Your Life!

This post is inspired by a recent sermon my pastor gave on the importance of having our words, and what we speak and say about ourselves and our lives . . . to have it match up with what the Word of God says.  God keeps His Word. When we speak His Word we can trust that it will not return void!

Abundance is clearly made available for those who put their trust in God. Have you put your trust in God, but still find yourself confused and asking for the directions to abundance?

Let me get right to the point: Having what God says you have, requires SAYING what God says you have!

Are you with me still?

Consider Psalm 23, which is a well know chapter from the Bible. Often used at funerals, but is actually very powerful for daily living. It reminds us of the amazing provision of God. When God is our shepherd there is No want.

Keep in mind, as with all relationships, there is action required by both parties. God leads us to still waters. However, it is up to us to drink. The Lord is the master at restoring our soul, which is our mind. And He does just that when we put our trust in Him. When the storms of life come our way we do not fear, because He is with us. Why is He with us comforting us? Because, we do our part and put our trust in Him.

God says your cup abundantly runs over. What do you say?

If God’s Word says your cup runs over, then that should be the same thing you are thinking and speaking. We too often have an empty cup mentality. But remember, as a man thinks in his heart so is he. (Proverbs 23:7)

God continues to do His part, and you need to continue to do your part. Keep your thoughts and words lined up with His Word. He prepares a table for you, but it is up to you to eat!

There is a section in Psalm 36 that talks about how the children of God are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of His house. He gives them drink from the rivers of His pleasures. That with Him is the fountain of life.

God wants you to have overflow in your life so that you can be blessed to be a blessing. If you only have enough to meet your needs, or not even that, then you aren’t able to help others.

One of the names of God is El-Shaddai. This means the God of more than enough, the all sufficient one. God can turn your ‘not enough’ into ‘more than enough’. 

So the question is: Who is your trust in? Make sure it is in the living, one, true God. Put your faith in Him and use your faith to see your abundance in the spirit until it is manifested in the natural. Say what God says and let your cup run over for a life of supernatural abundance.

A prayer for you today before you go:

“Lord God, I thank you, that you are able to turn my not enough into more than enough. You are my Shepherd and I shall not want or be in need in any area because you are overflowing my life with supernatural blessings like I have never experienced before. I receive Your anointing, Your help, upon my life, my family, business and career. I thank you that my life is overflowing  so that I may be a blessing to others and glorify You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”

May you experience God’s abundant overflow and growing prosperity in your life!

God bless you,
Brenda

How to Get Favor to Move You from Lack to Abundance!

Discover How You Can Move Into Abundance with These Keys and Confessions to Help Manifest Favor in Your Life!

Take it from me, if you are on the brink of a breakdown, you need to attract some favor.

Do you find yourself withdrawn into a shell of fear, anxiety, frustration, and negativism due to childhood experiences, bad situations, and failures in marriage and life? Have years of sowing negative thoughts into your spirit attracted to you negative, sour, mean, people and situations?

Well, don’t be kept in the dark. Your thoughts are the beginning of your reality. Constantly confessing the negative will put up a road block that prevents favor from coming through to you. Learn to change your attitude toward life and you’ll change your place in it and begin to see abundance.

Live expecting favor and you’ll change your insecurities and disappointments into success. In John 17:22 we are told that the glory that God gave Jesus, He gave to us. How awesome is that? You have the same glory that Jesus had.

Picture the Lord coming to you and placing a crown of glory and honor on your head. With this kind of favor you would live expecting things to happen! Your lack, doubt and insecurities would vanish and turn into powerful confidence.

The simple fact of the matter is: You need to change your attitude and let God’s Word be true in your life. Stand on the truth of His Word and it will set you free from whatever is holding you back. Faith comes by hearing the Word, so speak His words over your life daily. Don’t be one that confesses doubt and failure until you are depressed and broken down.

MAKE BOLD FAVOR CONFESSIONS TO MOVE YOURSELF INTO ABUNDANCE:

• God Makes His Face to Shine Upon Me Today and He is Gracious to Me
• I Have God’s Special Favor on Me Today and I Prosper
• God Gives Me Abundance of Favor
• I Have Favor with God and All Men
• God is Doing Exceedingly Abundantly Above All That I Ask or Think
• I Am Blessed to Be a Blessing to Others
• God is Pouring the Spirit of Favor on Me Today

Repeat these confessions until they are deposited into your spirit. Remember, nothing is impossible with God! Learn to walk in the law of God’s favor and abundance. It is available for everyone. Choose to receive it.

May you experience growing prosperity and favor and move into your desired abundant life!

Be blessed to be a blessing -

Cheers,
Brenda
