“If we’re going to accomplish the things that God wants for us, we have to remember who He is. He’s the God who parts Red Seas. He’s the God who speaks a word and heals the sick. He’s the God of the impossible. His hands are not tied. Don’t turn back.

Take His hand and draw your strength from your limitless God! Be single-minded when it comes to obeying His Word and you will prosper. Don’t look at your obstacles. Seek Him daily for His wisdom, His knowledge, His understanding, and His strength. Everything you need in this life is found in Him.

‘Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”’ — Matthew 19:26”

Today I want to remind you that you’re not a victim of the world’s pace, but you are a victor. The Scripture says, “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57). It says, “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith” (1 John 5:4).

It also says that “we have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16). We can think the thoughts of our champion Jesus Christ; we can attach ourselves to His champion mentality. You need to dwell on these truths. Get them into your heart and mind and fill your tank. You are a champion. You have what it takes to overcome the challenges of life. Take the time to be refilled with God’s strength.

“Today, make the choice to fill your mind and heart with messages of hope from God’s Word. You can rise up in the strength of Almighty God and say, ‘I will not be held in a stronghold of fear. I’m going to break through the barriers that are trying to hold me back. I will walk confidently forward in the things of God.’
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. — 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV)

We need to realize that as children of the living God, we are builders of people and the kingdom of God. We are intended to create with our words. The apostle Paul says, “Never let ugly or hateful words come from your mouth, but instead let your words become beautiful gifts that encourage others; do this by speaking words of grace to help them” (Ephesians 4:29).

Not only can you build people up with your words, but you can find the best in them and bring it out of them. Your words can be the glue that holds your relationships together when you speak positive, faith-filled words to others.

God is saying to you: You are a person of fearless courage. He is calling forth the greatness He placed inside you. Don’t let your own voice of doubt drown out His voice of truth. Shake off whatever is trying to hold you back, and let His voice rise above every fear—clear, strong, and undeniable.

You may feel weak, but in His hands your weakness becomes strength. “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). When you come into agreement with God, you step into His power. Believe that you have what it takes. Say yes to Him—and watch what He does through you.

Stay open for change. Don’t fight the closed doors. Don’t get discouraged when you get pushed out. “I don’t understand. I was doing the right thing. Why didn’t this work out?” God’s leading you to a place of greater blessing.

I’ve learned that being in the right place is better than getting your way. God knows what’s best. You may not see it now, but later on, you’re going to see how God was shutting one door to open a better door. You would have never reached your potential if He hadn’t stopped one place of blessing and moved you into a different place.

Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV):
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

When it’s taking longer than we think, we need to realize that God is not making us wait to make it hard on us. He’s using it to develop our character. Patience is an inner strength that we all need to learn. Patience is what brings forth God’s promises.

The writer of Hebrews says, “For you have need of patient endurance, so that when you have carried out the will of God, you may receive and enjoy to the full what is promised” (Hebrews 10:36). We need to develop our patience, knowing that at the appointed time, God is going to get us to where we need to be as well as give us what we need.

I hope you’ll come to understand that life is not perfect but it’s good. It’s good to be alive. And the truth of Romans 8:28 is always in effect for you as a child of God: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him . . .” That means you can always choose to find the good in your circumstances.

You can look for the good in your setback. You can find good things in the person who seems to be your biggest critic. It’s a choice. Train yourself in such a way that it becomes a habit—your natural response to any situation.

Jesus had to purposefully disconnect from the demands on His time to be alone with His Father and be strengthened and encouraged. People were waiting to be healed, to be taught, to be loved. It wasn’t easy for Him to step away, but it was essential. It’s not easy for us either. Our families and jobs keep us busy enough, but then there are friends, social media, news, the sports and entertainment world. Just like Jesus had, there’s always something to pull you away.

“But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” — Luke 5:16 (NIV)

God’s doing more behind the scenes than you realize. Your life is connected to something greater than what’s right in front of you.

When you touch one person, that is the butterfly effect. You are leaving a legacy of faith and creating an atmosphere in which God can work. When we read about the heroes of faith in the Bible, it’s like seeing their “highlight reels.” We’re amazed when Moses parted the Red Sea with his staff. And how impressive it was when David killed Goliath with just a sling and a stone. But we don’t know much about their ordinary days. The forty years in the wilderness. The time that was spent in the shepherds’ fields. The ordinary days were far more than the miracle highlight days. But we can’t discount that time because what they did in the ordinary was changing everything. The truth is, we’re going to have more ordinary days than miraculous ones. But that’s okay because those ordinary days have purpose. They set the stage and send out the ripples.

Zechariah 4:10:- ‘’Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.”
