THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

OUR GOD IS MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY OBSTACLE WE’LL EVER FACE

God has a place of VICTORY in store for you today! You may be facing challenges. You may look around you and see impossible circumstances. In the natural, it may look like things won’t ever change. But God is saying today, “Quit looking at your circumstances and LOOK UP! Lift up your eyes of FAITH and look BEYOND where you are because there is victory as far as the eye can see!

Remember, those things you are facing today are only TEMPORARY, but God Almighty is ETERNAL. He’s the God who spoke the WORLD into existence, and He’s the God who set the stars in space. He is more POWERFUL than every obstacle, BIGGER than any setback, and able to do EXCEEDLINGLY, ABUNDANTLY above and BEYOND what you could ever imagine. Today, look BEYOND your circumstances and set your focus in the right DIRECTION. LIFT UP your eyes and look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your FAITH!

Today’s Scripture:

“…Lift up now your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward.”

Genesis 13:14, AMPC

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE AND NOTHING IS EVER WASTED

The Bible tells of a time when Jesus fed a crowd of five thousand with only five loaves. That day, everyone had more than enough to eat and there were still twelve baskets full of bread. That’s because we serve a God of ABUNDANCE! I love that Jesus told the disciples to collect all the leftovers “so that nothing is wasted.” With God, nothing is EVER wasted. He’ll never waste an EXPERIENCE; He’ll never waste a HURT; He’ll never waste a DREAM; He’ll never waste even a single piece of BREAD.

God is still in the MIRACLE-working business. He is still our CREATOR, and He is a RESTORER. If you’ve felt like you’ve wasted years of your life in the wrong JOB, hanging around the wrong PEOPLE, doing the wrong THINGS, God will gather those years and RESTORE them BACK to you. He’ll take those EXPERIENCES that the enemy meant for your harm and turn them around for your GOOD. He’ll make you STRONGER, WISER and BETTER OFF than you were before. He can launch you further into your DESTINY than before. Be ENCOURAGED today because with God, ALL things are possible and NOTHING is ever wasted!

Today’s Scripture:

“After everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples, ‘Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted.”‘

John 6:12, NLT

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

YOU ARE EQUIPPED YOU FOR SUCCESS AND EMPOWERED TO OVERCOME

When Jesus sent His disciples out to heal the sick, meet their needs, and share the Gospel, He told them, “GIVE as freely as you have received” (Matthew 10:8). In other’s words, God has given you EVERYTHING you need to do what He’s called you to do in this life. He has equipped you to be SUCCESSFUL and has EMPOWERED you to OVERCOME in this life. He’s given you seed to sow in order to have an ABUNDANT harvest in your future. You HAVE what it takes!

God has placed SEED in your hand today, but in order for that seed to produce, it has to be planted. It has to be watered. It has to be fertilized. Today, ask God to show you where to plant YOUR seed. Make sure you are sowing in the right ground and tending to the seed He has given you. Remember, God has a GOOD plan for your future. He has plans to BLESS you and INCREASE you. Today, YOU have what it takes to move forward and receive the BLESSING He has prepared for you!

Today’s Scripture:

“For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.”

2 Corinthians 9:10, NLT

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

BE ENCOURAGED BECAUSE YOUR TIMES ARE IN GOD’S HANDS

One thing I’ve learned is that God doesn’t always work on OUR timetable. In fact, He RARELY does. But in a single MOMENT, God can change your LIFE! All throughout scripture, we see examples of how God was working behind the scenes and INSTANTLY turned things around for His people. Scripture tells us He is the same yesterday, today and FOREVER which means He can INSTANTLY turn things around for you, TOO!

You may be going through some difficulty today, but be ENCOURAGED because your times are in GOD’s hands. He wants to ACCELERATE things in your FAVOR. He wants to take you FURTHER than you dreamed possible and work in your life in ways BEYOND what you have ever imagined.

Let this TRUTH sink down into your heart today. Resist discouragement by speaking His WORD over your future. Keep STANDING. Keep HOPING; keep BELIEVING because He IS working behind the scenes. He’s going to ACCELERATE your times and lead you into the life of VICTORY He has for you!

Today’s Scripture:

“My times are in Your hand…”

Psalm 31:15, NASB

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

TODAY, GET INTO AGREEMENT WITH GOD AND SAY “I AM BLESSED”

Twenty years before Abraham ever had a child, God said to him, “Abraham, I have made you a father of many nations.” Notice God spoke to him like it had ALREADY happened, in the PAST tense. I’m sure Abraham thought, “God, You must have made a mistake. I’m not a father. I don’t even have one child. Abraham could have talked himself out of it; but instead, HE CHOSE TO BELIEVE.

Today, you may be thinking, “I’m not BLESSED. I’m not CONFIDENT. I’m not HEALTHY. I’m not FAVORED.” But when God says you’re BLESSED, don’t TRY to figure it out. Just AGREE with God and say, “I AM blessed.” When God calls you prosperous, don’t go check your bank account. Don’t go look at the stock report. Just AGREE with God and say, “I AM prosperous.” Things may LOOK impossible. That’s all right. That’s the way things looked for Abraham. But sure enough, God’s PROMISES came to pass, and he became the father of many nations.

Remember, when you AGREE with God, you are positioning yourself for a MIRACLE. You are ACTIVATING His TRUTH in your life. When things look difficult, don’t agree with your circumstances, agree with His PROMISES because He is FAITHFUL, and He WILL complete what He’s STARTED in your life!
Today’s Scripture:

“As it is written: ‘I have made you a father of many nations.’ He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.”

Romans 4:17, NIV

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

WHEN YOU ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR, THE POSSIBILITIES BECOME ENDLESS….

We serve a SUPERNATURAL God! He is NOT limited by anything or anyone. He’s ready to do the impossible IN you, FOR you and THROUGH you!

Think about this for a moment: when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Spirit of God actually makes His home IN you—the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead! That means that you have UNLIMITED POWER, unlimited WISDOM, unlimited ABILITY, unlimited JOY and unlimited PEACE living INSIDE of you by the power of the Holy Spirit. As a BELIEVER, you have the unlimited, SUPERNATURAL, living God INSIDE of you!

Let that sink down deep into your heart. Let it restore CONFIDENCE and STRENGTH to your BEING. Let it ENERGIZE your THOUGHTS and ATTITUDE today. As you meditate on Him and the VASTNESS of His power inside of you, you will tap INTO that power more and more. Every day, you’ll experience His supernatural INCREASE as you put HIM first—the Supernatural ONE living in you!

Today’s Scripture:

“And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.”

Romans 8:11, NIV

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

WHEN GOD PUTS HIS “SUPER” ON YOUR “NATURAL” ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

So often, people limit themselves in their thinking. They don’t think they’ll ever accomplish their dreams. They start thinking they don’t have the talent, the connections or the funds. They don’t think a marriage could ever be restored or they’ll ever get out of debt. But that kind of thinking comes from looking at things in the natural. That’s a limited perspective. We have to realize that God is a SUPERNATURAL God. Just because WE don’t see a way doesn’t mean that GOD doesn’t have a way. God can bring one OPPORTUNITY across your path that will THRUST you to a new level. He has EXPLOSIVE blessings that can BLAST you out of debt and into ABUNDANCE! He CAN do what medical science can’t do!

Today, I encourage you to take the limits OFF your thinking. Lift up your eyes to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith. TRUST that He IS working behind the scenes on your behalf and WILL make a way out of no way. Remember, what you are facing may SEEM impossible with MAN, but when GOD puts His “SUPER” on your “natural,” ANYTHING is possible!

Today’s Scripture:

“…I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

Isaiah 43:19, NIV

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

AS BELIEVERS, WE HAVE LIFE-GIVING REFRESHING WATER IN US…

All over the world, there are people who are lonely and hurting. They’ve been through disappointments; they’ve suffered heartache and pain. As BELIEVERS, God has given us something to offer them. We have life-giving, REFRESHING WATER in us. With our words, we can bring HEALING. With our words, we can LIFT them OUT of depression. With our words, we can tell them, “You’re BEAUTIFUL. You’re AMAZING. You’re TALENTED. God has a BRIGHT FUTURE in front of you.” Those life-giving WORDS will break the chains of depression. They will break the chains of low self-esteem. You can help set people FREE from the strongholds that are keeping them back. You may not know all that is happening, but God can take ONE COMPLIMENT, one ENCOURAGING WORD, and use that to begin the HEALING process and set that person on a BRAND NEW course. And when you help break the chains off of OTHERS, any chains that YOU might have will be broken off, too!

Today, choose to speak ENCOURAGEMENT. Choose to speak LIFE. Tell others what they CAN become, give COMPLIMENTS, and live life as a HEALER. Pour out that life-giving water with your WORDS and watch it come back to you in ABUNDANCE!

Today’s Scripture:

“The words of the mouth are deep waters…”

Proverbs 18:4, NIV

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

WHEN YOU SPEAK GOD’S PROMISES, YOU’RE SETTING HIS BLESSINGS INTO MOTION

God is a GOOD God, and He has good THINGS in store for you! He has given you the POWER and the PLAN to experience LIFE, HEALTH, PEACE and BLESSING in every area of your life. When we live in obedience to His Word, when we put Him first in EVERY area, scripture PROMISES that our way will be PROSPEROUS, and we will experience SUCCESS.

Notice how the promise in today’s verse starts. It says do not let His Word depart from your mouth. When we DECLARE His Word, it EMPOWERS us to obey His Word, and then we will see the SUCCESS He promises.

Today, make declaring His Word a PRIORITY. Set aside time each day to SPEAK His promises over your life. As you do, you are setting His BLESSING into motion, and you will find SUCCESS in all you do.

Today’s Scripture:

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success”

(Joshua 1:8, NKJV)
