“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?

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.

God Says My Cup Runs OverKeep 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!

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!

Abundant Favor of GodTake 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

The Secret of the LORD – Discover the Key to the Treasures of Life!

The Secret of the LORD – Discover the Key to the Treasures of Life!

Do You Fear the LORD?

Secrets are something we all have and not all secrets are bad. We share our secrets with those who are in close relationship with us and who we can trust. God has some secrets He would like to share with those who are in an intimate relationship with Him.

How do we enter into an intimate relationship with God?

Fear of God is the starting point to having an intimate relationship with Him.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:7

Knowledge Is KeyIt seems that many Christians call Jesus their Lord and Savior but they don’t fear Him with a holy fear that acknowledges He is their supreme Lord.

People tend to love a distorted image of Jesus that they create with their own imagination and understanding.

Don’t be fooled, a lack of holy fear separates us from intimacy with God.

How do you obtain this necessary fear of the Lord? (Proverbs 2:1-5)

1) Receive the Word of God.  “My son, if you will receive my words, …”

2) Hide His Commandments in You.  “… And hide my commandments with you; …”

3) Incline Your Ear to Wisdom.  “… So that you incline your ear unto wisdom, …”

4) Apply Your Heart to Understanding.  “… and apply your heart to understanding; …”

5) Cry Out For Knowledge & Discernment.  “… Yes, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding; …”

6) Seek it and Search as You Would for Hidden Treasures.  “… If you seek her as silver, and search for her as hidden treasures; then shall you understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.”

The fear of the LORD is the key to Unlock His Treasures.

Fear of the Lord is the key that unlocks His treasures in our lives.

“And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times, and strength of salvation; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure.” — Isaiah 33:6

God desires that we draw near to Him, but this is impossible without a holy fear. It is not about being scared of God. The person who fears God has nothing to hide because he knows his life is an open book before God. He puts God’s desires before the desires of himself and others.

How does God know if we fear Him?

We obey Him. Evidence of a holy fear is obedience to God’s commandments.

The Secret of the LORD is with Those Who Fear Him

“The secret of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and He will show them His covenant.” Psalm 25:14

A holy fear of the Lord produces unconditional obedience in our hearts and lives. The Lord is drawn to those who fear Him and He works in them both to will and to do His good pleasure. Those that fear the Lord enjoy his secret and treasures.

May you draw near to God as He draws near to you and experience a life of growing prosperity!

God bless you,
Brenda

No Secret – Fear Will Rob You of Your Prosperity!

No Secret – Fear Will Rob You of Your Prosperity!

Get Victory Over Fear and Step Into Your God Given Ability to Attract Abundance!

Fear of failure Have Faith Not Fearis a common enemy to your prosperity. How can you even begin to prosper when fear makes you anxious, stressed, worried, depressed, and unsure of yourself?

When fear is in charge, it’s all that you can do to make it through the day, let alone even think about the first step needed to prosper.

If you struggle with fear, guess what? You are not alone.

Much is taught on fear, because it is a battle for many.

Fear Sets Failure in Motion

Fear is a negative force that attracts to you that very thing you fear.  Jesus told us over and over things like; fear not, be not afraid, don’t be anxious. He wasn’t just saying these things to hear Himself talk! He was revealing the important fact that, fear will produce what you fear.

Hopefully by now you understand that when you fear, you set in motion the formula for failure. Fear is evidence of unbelief and it will paralyze you from moving forward.

Mastery of the thoughts and the words we speak will help give us victory. And victory over fear is required if we want to prosper.

Faith Sets Prosperity in Motion

But how do you go about that?

Put a stop to the cycle of fear by standing on the Word of God and replacing fear with faith. God’s Word frees you from fear. Faith is evidence of your trust in God.

Start resisting fear and begin attracting the prosperity you desire in your life by speaking faith verses such as these:

“God has not given me the spirit of fear; but of power, and love, and of a sound mind.”
– 2 Timothy 1:7

“Whoever harkens unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.”
– Proverbs 1:33

No doubt about it: The timid, fearful, questioning of ‘What if I should fail?’ attitude has ruined more careers than anything else.

On the other hand, there is no limit to what you can do in holding fast to your self-confident and courageous thoughts. We fail only when we lose faith in our God given ability to abound in life. It is through faith we touch the very source of life and gain the strength to grab hold of our prosperity.

May you boldly move forward in life and continue to experience growing prosperity!

God bless you,
Brenda

Would You Like 2 Easy Steps That Attract Abundant Favor To Prosper?

Would You Like 2 Easy Steps That Attract Abundant Favor To Prosper?

Apply These Two Easy Steps to Attract Prosperous Favor for a New Lease on Life!

growing_prosperityThere is no better time than now to attract some favor. Especially if you are like so many who are ready to throw in the towel or feel like their back is up against the wall. Have years of sowing negative thoughts attracted negative, sour, people and situations into your life?

It’s no wonder, because your thoughts are the beginning of your reality. Constantly thinking and speaking negative will short circuit favor from getting through to you.

But the GOOD NEWS is, there is ABUNDANT FAVOR available to you. You are made in God’s image. In you is the ability to give and receive favor. God is reaching out His hand of favor to you. You must stop thinking you are not capable or worthy of receiving and giving His favor. A strong negative spirit will hinder your ability to reach out and receive much of this favor.

Know where you stand. God is a God of love, favor, and mercy. You are an outlet for His power to flow through to bless you and others. He is constantly promoting those who learn to live in this law of favor. To be on track, you must follow His steps.

Attract Favor by Following Two Easy Steps:

#1 – First you must think, believe, and expect favor to flow from God and others to you. Get your thoughts in-line and see yourself receiving favor everywhere you go and in everything you do.

#2 – Second, you need to favor others even when they are ugly and unkind to you. Give favor to others daily.

Plain and simple, you reap what you sow. Give and the Lord will make men give unto you. Set yourself up to receive favor. Meditate and sow good thoughts of blessings to others.

We are told in 2 Corinthians 9:10 that God gives seed to the sower. As you give, God continues to fill your life with fresh favor to prosper. But just like electricity has no power until the circuit is completed, favor has no power until your circuit is completed. You must let it flow to others.

A new lease on life can be yours. Reach out beyond your present “rut” by expecting favor. Develop an attitude of being blessed to be a blessing. Watch as you leap into new levels of favor and growing prosperity in your life!

God bless you,
Brenda

Faith in the Blood of Jesus

Faith in the Blood of Jesus Video

There is Power in the Blood

“Faith in His blood is the power and the vehicle that launches the believer into the very presence of God.”  Mark Hankins

I ran across this old song the other day and wanted to share.

“There is not one thing in me that the Blood doesn’t cleanse.”  Smith Wigglesworth

“…The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin, 1 John 1:7. The blood in your body circulates from head to toe every 23 seconds. The blood carries life itself. It carries in the nutrients you need to live and it also carries out the garbage. The blood of Jesus circulates throughout the Body of Christ. We need one another. We need to be assembled together and we need to fellowship with other believers (Hebrews 10:25). There is some assembly required. I feel sorry for people who think they can make it on their own. We need other strong believers to fellowship with around the Word of God. Then the blood of Jesus circulates and takes care of life and health for us.”  Excerpt from Mark Hankins book Taking Your Place In Christ.

The subheading of his book is Understanding Your Identity & Inheritance In Him. I’ve been studying a lot of Mark Hankins teachings since his recent visit to our church a few weeks ago. He has a great way of mixing humor with his messages that are really powerful! I highly recommend checking out his resources…

God bless you,

Abundance Tapping Faith in Action

Abundance Tapping Faith in Action

The Windows of Heaven Opened Above Me and Dropped Down a Bed!

I was blessed BIG Time this week and I want to share to encourage you.

I’ve been working on my faith and looking at where I’m letting doubts and unbelief hinder my progress. What am I doing or saying that makes me keep hitting a wall and only making it to a certain level of prosperity?

I’m standing in belief, confessing, tithing, and taking action in the natural. But I realized I have a problem with my “receiver”. I have great faith to believe to receive for others. And I say I do for myself. But then I noticed deep down I feel a sense of unworthiness to really be blessed personally.

Last week, guest minister Rev. Mark Hankins, shared with our church an encouraging message to meditate and get into The Word and see who we are Christ. So I’ve been bombarding myself day and night with the Word of God via books, CD’s, and recordings of myself confessing the Word. 

And here’s my story this week … Look what the Lord has done!

Monday as I was cleaning up some (okay, well a lot) of paperwork off my counter, I came across an ad for a mattress. I thought ‘that would be awesome to have a nice bed’. My current bed is a small twin that used to be my daughters and is worn out. I have it layered with blankets and a foam piece so I can’t feel the springs. I toss and turn all night and every morning I wake up with a sore back. It’s embarrassing to say, but I’ve been accepting this for many years.

Tuesday I woke up and had an overwhelming sense that I was close to my breakthrough in the financial realm. I started thinking about what it would be like and how I would buy myself a new bed. I pictured a fluffy mattress and I could see & feel myself sleeping on it. I could feel what it would be like waking up in the morning refreshed and ready for the day.

At that point something changed inside me. It seemed so real I started to cry with tears of joy and started thanking God for the bed. Then I realized I was thanking God for something I didn’t even have in the natural yet – only by faith. But it was so real it was as if I actually had it.

I knew I was getting closer to tapping into a deeper measure of faith. Even though I didn’t have a new bed in the natural, I was fully persuaded in my spirit.

So Tuesday I cut out the picture of that bed and posted it above my computer. I was going to use it to start my vision board.

Wednesday evening at church a greeter greeted me with some encouraging words. It reminded me of what happened the day before and I shared quickly that I just had a recent breakthrough in the financial area and was able to see myself getting a new bed. After service, the greeter and her husband said we want to take you shopping tomorrow to buy a new bed!!!!!!!!

Thursday at noon, 3 days after seeing the ad, I had a brand new bed. Not used or even a cheap one. They insisted on the top of the line, pillow top, fluffy mattress. And sleeping on it last night made me feel like a princess and for the first time in years when I woke up my back did not hurt!!

I’m in tears of thanksgiving as I write this…that my God cares about me personally. Not just my daughters, family, and friends. But God loves me!

I’ve learned I have to work on my receiver and quit saying no to God and start saying Yes God. I can believe all I want – but if I’m not willing to receive when the blessings come…then I’m just plain stupid!

Everything in me wanted to tell that couple not to spend their hard earned money on me. I know what they did was a huge, huge sacrifice! A step of faith for them. Yet, I knew I needed to learn to receive when God provides. I never expected they would offer to buy me a bed and I didn’t share my situation in anyway expecting them or anyone to.

Actually I had God in a box and saw myself reaching a certain level of income and then being able to go buy the bed myself sometime within the next year. I guess I need to also get God out of a box and let Him be God and do things His way in His timing!  :0)

There is so much about this experience I could go into depth about. But I just wanted to share the quick version with you. I am so unbelievably thankful!!

I’ve never owned a new bed before. This truly feels like a gift from Heaven. And other than from a few close family members, I’ve never received such a generous, cheerful, self-less, act of love and kindness from someone.

Galatians 5:7 says whatsoever a man sows he shall reap.

This couple and their family has a great harvest coming for their obedience to the Word of God and the generous act of giving they sowed in my life. May the favor of God be on them and bless the works of their hands and may everything they do prosper and the blessings of God pour on them in such abundance it is more than they can contain!

Lisa & Russell, I call you and your family blessed in Jesus Name! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! :0)

I encourage you all to get the Word of God in you until you are fully persuaded and live the life God intends you to live! The hour is short.

Be blessed to be a blessing,
Brenda
