THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

ACTIVATE CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE TODAY

We all have areas in our lives where we desire to see CHANGE; areas we know we need to come up higher or addictions and strongholds we need to BREAK. The good news is that God has given us the POWER to change! Scripture says that we overcome by the blood of Jesus and the WORD of our TESTIMONY. When we make our words line up with GOD’S Word, then what we DECLARE will be ESTABLISHED in our lives.

So often, we complicate life more than we need to. Our minds get busy trying to “figure” everything out. So many people spend more time ANALYZING their situation instead of APPLYING God’s WORD to their situation! But TODAY, you can ACTIVATE change in your life by taking five minutes to declare His WORD. Don’t live in mediocrity any longer. Let God’s Word SHINE on your ways and DIRECT your path toward the life of VICTORY He has PROMISED you!

Today’s Scripture:

“You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways”

(Job 22:28, NASB)

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO DARE COME AGAINST US

FAITH is all around us. People have faith in so many different things: faith that a FRIEND will be true, faith that your JOB is taking you on a certain career path, faith that the CHAIR you are sitting on is going to hold you UP! Faith is simply BELIEVING in something. But there are different kinds, or LEVELS, of faith. I’ve discovered TWO kinds of faith—a DELIVERING faith and a SUSTAINING faith. Delivering faith is when God INSTANTLY turns your situation around. When that happens, it’s GREAT. But I believe it takes a GREATER faith and a deeper walk with God to have sustaining faith. Sustaining faith is when God takes you THROUGH the difficulty. You are filled with doubt, anxiety, fear, and bitterness. But when you know that GOD is in control, and even if you go THROUGH the difficulty, you know He will take care of you. You can say, “God, I don’t CARE what comes against me, I don’t care how LONG it takes, this thing is NOT going to defeat me. I know that You loved me and GAVE Yourself for me. As long as You are FOR me, that’s all that matters.”

Today’s Scripture:

“And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

Galatians 2:20, ESV

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

START EXPECTING A NEW SEASON, GET YOUR FIRE BACK!

Have you been struggling in an area of your life for quite some time? God has PROMISED He will go before you and prepare a path for you; He’ll make your crooked places STRAIGHT. He wants to smooth things out for you. I believe that as you continue to commit your ways to Him, He will bring you into a season where things are going to start falling into place. You’re going to get breaks that you didn’t DESERVE. The promises that you’ve been STANDING on, you’re going to see them begin to come to pass. It’s time for you to get ready and get your FIRE BACK!

Start EXPECTING that you are coming into a new season. Maybe it’s in your FINANCES. Maybe you’ve struggled for a long time. Begin to declare that you’re going to see supernatural INCREASE, supernatural OPPORTUNITIES, supernatural PROMOTION. Remember, the economy is NOT your source—GOD is. He’s the One who opens doors that NO person can shut. Keep STANDING, keep BELIEVING because God IS going to make your crooked places straight and lead you down the path of BLESSING and VICTORY in EVERY area of your life!

Today’s Scripture:

“Every valley shall be raised, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and let the rough ground become a plain, and the rugged places a broad valley.”

Isaiah 40:4, AMP

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

HAVE FAITH AND KNOW THAT GOD WILL FINISH WHAT HE’S BEGUN IN YOUR LIFE

At that moment when Jesus spoke the words on the cross, “It is finished,” it certainly looked like the end. It looked as though it was over. But maybe that wasn’t just a statement of fact; it was a statement of FAITH. He was saying to His Father, “I’ve done My part. I’ve fulfilled My DESTINY. Now, I have total trust and confidence that You are going to finish what You started THROUGH Me.” Even though it looked like the end, in reality, it was only the BEGINNING.

When it looks dark in YOUR life, when things aren’t going your WAY, dare to make that declaration of FAITH just like Jesus, “It is FINISHED.” What you’re really saying is, “God, I know You are going to FINISH what You’ve BEGUN in my life. You are going to turn things around. I know that You are giving me the BREAKS that I need. Let YOUR will be done on earth as it is in heaven!” Always remember to speak VICTORY over your circumstances because He is FAITHFUL, and He WILL complete what He’s STARTED in you.

Today’s Scripture:

“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”

(Philippians 1:6, NLT)

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

THE LIGHT OF GOD’S WORD WILL GUIDE YOU IN EVERY DECISION YOU FACE

Are you facing a situation that seems dark today? As a believer, God promises that your path will shine brighter and brighter as you seek His truth and righteousness in every situation. What is righteousness? Righteousness is simply being in RIGHT STANDING with God. Being in right standing with God is about SUBMITTING your life to Him. It’s about OBEYING His commands and SEEKING His plan for your life on a daily basis. As you seek Him, the light of God’s Word will guide you in EVERY decision you face.

No matter what’s happening in your life today, take time to ask the Lord to shine His light on you. Ask Him to confirm His PLAN for you. As you continue pursuing His TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS, as you continue to make His Word a PRIORITY in your life, you will experience more of His BLESSINGS. You’ll see those brighter days as you move forward in the good plan HE has in store for you!

Today’s Scripture:

“The way of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, which shines ever brighter until the full light of day.”

(Proverbs 4:18, NLT)

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

NOTHING CAN STAND AGAINST THE POWER OF GOD, RISE UP!!

The next time you feel overwhelmed by sickness, challenges or despair, remember that the same SPIRIT that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you through Jesus. You may have been burdened by an addiction, fear or worry, but there’s nothing that can stand against the POWER of God. Rise up and declare by FAITH, “He whom the Son sets FREE is free INDEED. I am RESTORED and HEALED in the name of Jesus! NO weapon formed against me will prosper!” Receive His TRUTH, DECLARE the Word, and ACTIVATE His power WITHIN you!

But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.

2 Corinthians 8:7, NIV

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

NOTHING CAN STAND AGAINST THE POWER OF GOD

When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit makes His home INSIDE of you. That’s God Himself, the same Spirit with the same POWER that raised Jesus from the dead! His RESURRECTION power can bring back HEALTH, STRENGTH and LIFE to your physical body. He can restore HOPE and breathe life into your DREAMS. In fact, He can resurrect ANY area that may seem dormant on the inside of you!

The next time you feel overwhelmed by sickness, challenges or despair, remember, the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in YOU through Christ Jesus. You may have been burdened by an addiction, fear or worry, but there’s NOTHING that can stand against the POWER of God. Rise up and declare by FAITH, “He whom the Son sets free is free INDEED. I am RESTORED and HEALED in the name of JESUS! NO weapon formed against me can prosper!” Receive His TRUTH, declare the WORD, and ACTIVATE HIS POWER within 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:

GOD HAS FAVOR, STRENGTH AND VICTORY WITH YOUR NAME ON IT

Can you get a picture of God laughing in the heavens? Right now, God is on the throne. He’s not mad. He’s not worried about the economy. He’s not upset with you and me. What’s He doing? God is full of JOY and laughing on the throne. It goes on to tell us in Psalm 37 that He’s laughing because “He can see the destruction of the enemy coming.” In other words, the reason God laughs is because He knows the end of the story. He knows the final outcome. The good news is that you and I WIN. God ALWAYS causes US to triumph.

Imagine you’re watching the Super Bowl, but you already know the outcome. You already know who is going to win. No matter how far behind the winning team falls, no matter how bad it LOOKS for them, you wouldn’t get upset. You wouldn’t be worried. Why? You’ve got inside INFORMATION. You know the final OUTCOME. That’s what GOD is saying to us today. When it gets tough and things don’t LOOK like they’re going to work out, we know with GOD, we are on the WINNING team! YOU can laugh with Him today knowing that He has FAVOR, STRENGTH and VICTORY for you in EVERY area of your life!

Today’s Scripture:

“He Who sits in the heavens laughs…”

Psalm 2:4, AMP

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

KEEP GOD’S PROMISES IN YOUR HEART AND IT WILL CHANGE AND SHAPE YOUR CHARACTER

When you pray, are you CONFIDENT that you will receive what you’ve asked for? Many people today WONDER if God hears their prayers. They aren’t CERTAIN if He will answer. But the scripture PROMISES that when we obey God’s commands, when we live a life that is pleasing to Him, we can be SURE that we will receive what we ask.

Understand that God’s Word is His will. That’s why it’s so important to make His Word the number one PRIORITY in our lives. When you keep God’s promises in your heart and mind, it changes and shapes your CHARACTER. It makes your THOUGHTS and DESIRES line up with GOD’S thoughts and desires. And when you are praying according to GOD’S will, you can have the CONFIDENCE to receive what you’ve asked for.

Make the commitment to OBEY the Word and do what PLEASES Him. As you do, you’ll see His hand of BLESSING in EVERY area of your life. You’ll be EQUIPPED to move forward in the CONFIDENCE and VICTORY He has planned for you!

Today’s Scripture:

And we will receive from Him whatever we ask because we obey Him and do the things that please Him.

1 John 3:22, NLT

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

GOD IS WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES AND DON’T LET THE ENEMY TELL YOU OTHERWISE

All through the Bible, we have examples of how God SUDDENLY showed Himself STRONG on behalf of His people. But sometimes when we’ve struggled for a long time, it’s easy to just give up. One of the enemy’s greatest lies is to tell you that nothing is ever going to change. He’ll tell you that you’re never going to get well, that your marriage isn’t going to work out, that you’re never going to break that addiction. But I want to tell you today, it doesn’t MATTER how long you’ve been in those circumstances, God can change things in an INSTANT! In a split second of time, He can turn it ALL around. One TOUCH of God’s power can HEAL your body. One touch of His favor can PROMOTE you. One touch of His goodness can SOLVE that problem. Just one touch from Almighty God can INSTANTLY change your LIFE.

I encourage you today to keep BELIEVING, keep STANDING and keep HOPING. Don’t let the enemy drag your thoughts down because God is working BEHIND the scenes. Your time IS coming, and I declare that your BREAKTHROUGH IS going to happen SUDDENLY—in an INSTANT!

Today’s Scripture:

“…And in an instant, suddenly, you shall be visited and delivered by the Lord of hosts…”

Isaiah 29:5-6, AMPC
