God gives you the shield of His salvation to cover you, strengthens you, and holds you up when you feel weak.
You may face battles, but you don’t have to face them without God. His salvation is your confidence, and His hand is always there to help you stand.

“You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; your help has made me great.”Psalms 18:35

Rest in the One who saved you, covers you, and holds you.

Comment “Jesus is my shield” if you’re trusting Him to cover and strengthen you today.

The Power of Thanksgiving

“Then out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry; I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.” (Jer. 30:19, NKJV).

Here God is talking about a people of faith in God and in His word. Faith sees future results and thank God in present circumstances. Faith with thanksgiving declares those things that are not as though they were already a reality. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Heb.11:1). Faith with thanksgiving brings the answers to our prayers into the ‘now’ realm.

By the power of faith, therefore, we can thank God in our circumstances for what we see in our faith reality. By faith we use the weapon of thanksgiving to destroy doubts, negate negative voices, guard against double-mindedness, conquer fear, and most of all exalt God as always greater and our Most High.

The Bible tells us that the attitude of thanksgiving will 1) make us merry, 2) make us grow, 3) make us glorious (god-fearing, brilliant, wise, strong), 4) productive and prosperous. Thanksgiving is an attitude, an action, and an intentional weapon to destroy blockages to miracles.

No wonder God instructs us, “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thess. 5:18). Thank Him today.

Kingdom Declaration:
I thank God for who He is, for what He can do for me and for what He will do through me.

Faith is a Powerful Force

“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he say will happen, it will be done for him.’” (Mark 11:22,23).

Faith believes, speaks, and acts. Faith can create or destroy. Faith can release life, healing, forgiveness, mercy, and great possibilities. Faith is unshakable confidence for a positive outcome. Faith is a force that can move mountains and destroy giants. Faith is powerful because your faith can also be applied for others with great results.

On Wednesday, July 24, 2002, nine miners were trapped inside the Quecreek Mine near Somerset, Pennsylvania. It was said that they were trapped for “77 hours of hell”, twenty-four stories underground. The news reporters thought they were all dead and that the continued rescue operation was only to encourage the families.

The rescue team however, in spite setbacks, never gave up hope and would not stop trying, never doubting for one moment that they would rescue their fellow workers. They refused to think or speak negative. What a triumphant celebration when all nine men were rescued and again saw the light of day.

You are powerful if you have faith. Send a miracle and receive a miracle today.

Kingdom Declaration:
My faith is powerful. Today I will send a miracle and receive a miracle.

God’s favor is more than receiving blessings.
His favor can cover you, protect you, preserve you, provide for you, and make a way when you cannot see one.
That’s why we should desire not only God’s blessings, but also a life that honors Him and walks in obedience.

May our prayer be: “Lord, help me live in a way that pleases You. Let Your favor be upon my life.”

Comment “Amen” if you believe this.

Our World is Crying

“The LORD said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them…….” Ex. 3:7,8.

God created our world as a paradise without sin, sickness, poverty, corruption, perversion, violence, and fear. He created Adam and Eve and blessed them to procreate families, develop, and co-rule the world with Him as Sovereign King. With the power of choice, unfortunately, they chose to disobey God’s counsel to avoid evil, resulting in treachery, violence, and the murder of their son Abel by his brother Cain.

As evil invades and dominates our world, the cries of people in pain is growing louder, the blood of the innocent is crying out for justice, displaced families are crying for a place to live and prosper on earth, youth are crying for a secure future, and the earth is weeping for a safe and healthy environment.

Jesus described the difference between His purpose and the purpose of Satan, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10). Jesus loves our world – the people and all that He created in the world. He is the Savior of the world and the answer to our cry, “At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:26-28). Jesus is the hope of our world and His salvation and glory shall save our world.

Kingdom Declaration:
Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world and I am His servant of glory.

SEE the Glory of God

“Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" John 11:40.

Mary, Martha, and Lazarus were sisters and brother and friends of Jesus. As in most families each child had their own personality and grace. Mary was the emotional, spoilt, but adoring fan of Jesus. Martha was the perfectionist, hardworking, and practical sister who also loved Jesus.

Lazarus their brother became sick and the sisters sent for Jesus to come and heal him. Jesus was delayed in ministry and by the time he arrived, Lazarus was dead for four days. When Martha heard that Jesus was on His way to them, she went out to meet Him for a private conversation because before Him she could let her guard down and express her pain. “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.” (John 11:21,22). Note Martha the perfectionist had to first mention that He was late, but now that you are here, all things are possible now that you are here.

Jesus coached her in faith to believe that He is the Resurrection and the Life. Nothing is over until God says it is over. What ever is closed can be opened by God. Jesus is the Author and Finisher of life. Her faith in God would make her see the resurrection glory of God and she did. The CHAYIL (powerful great) Glory of Jesus was greater that death. If you believe today you will also see the glory of God in your life with miracles.

Kingdom Declaration:
I believe in the King of Glory and I shall see His Glory in all areas of my life.

Triple Blessing from God

“To Timothy my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.” 1 Timothy 1:2.

Paul expresses his love and commitment to Timothy, his true son in the faith. Faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation of Christianity and its believers are blessed with the grace, mercy and peace of God.

1) Grace. Grace is favor, benevolence, kindness, and prosperity. It describes the approval of God for all those who place their trust in Him as God their Father and Christ Jesus their Savior. The hymn Amazing Grace is probably one of the best know hymns in the world today and was written by a repentance ex-slave trader.
2) Mercy. Mercy means pardon, forgiveness, and compassion towards an offender. Fr. Jack McArdle tells a story about God’s forgiveness: “Imagine when you die and Jesus comes to meet you and shows you a video of your entire life. On the video you see all the good things you did. But there are also a number of blanks on the tape. You ask why there are such blanks on the tape of your life. Jesus tells you these were the times when you sinned and asked for God’s mercy.” When God forgives he completely blanks out our sins and does not remember them anymore.
3) Peace. Peace is the consequence that comes from grace and mercy at work in our lives. Peace with God comes when we ask God to forgive us from our sins. The Peace of God comes because our conscience is clear of all guilt, shame, and fear.

Your have triple blessing from God. Rejoice and be glad as God’s banner over you is love.

Kingdom Declaration:
God’s grace, mercy, and peace is my triple blessing from God that makes me blessed and highly favored.

Through Jesus, God has given us a new covenant—a covenant of grace, forgiveness, redemption, and hope.
The blood of Jesus was shed for our salvation and reminds us that our lives belong to Him. We can come to God, surrender our past, and trust Him with our future.

You don’t have to keep living the same way. There is a new beginning in Christ.

Comment “Ament” if you’re choosing to trust Jesus and walk in His grace.
