Blessed morning to you beloved in the Lord. Here is an Insight I thought to share with you this morning :::::::::
Depend On The Wisdom of God. Jesus said you have received two gifts from God: (1) Your mouth and (2) His Wisdom. Unexpected things may happen today. Don't worry. The Holy Spirit within you will rise to the occasion and speak through you. Relax. Someone greater than you is within you. Depend on Him.
"Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and Wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist," (Luke 21:14-15).

A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Psalms 91:7 NKJV ...

A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Psalms 91:7 NKJV
Many a times we look at the circumstances surrounding our lives and we are gripped by fear and anxiety. While many people are dying because of this pandemic, many losing their jobs and sources of income. While our future is gloomy and it seems like there is no hope of reaching the end of the tunnel, I want to encourage you that you are safely kept in the presence of God.
Because many are falling it doesn't mean that you will fall some things God allows you to witness it so that you can testify of His goodness. Don't be afraid, don't fear, you are safely kept in God's hands
Blessed Evening beloved in the Lord

*DRAWING POWER FROM HEAVEN!*
Shalom! Jesus our Lord taught us in Matthew 6:9-10 to pray and say, "Our Father in heaven, Hollowed be your name. Your kingdom come..." The kingdom of God is the rule, the reign, the realm, the government, the authority and the power of God. When we pray and ask for the kingdom of God to come in our lives and world, we are asking for His rule, reign, realm, government, authority and power to come in our lives and world. This prayer "Your kingdom come" makes us draw supernatural power from heaven. When God's kingdom comes in your life, it is God's supernatural power that comes in your life. Wherever the kingdom of God is, supernatural and unusual things take place. When God's kingdom comes in a place, miracles and wonders begin to happen; The sick are healed, the bound are set free, sins are forgiven, blind eyes are opened, the dead rise again and many more (Luke 11:20). There is enough, infallible, and unlimited power in heaven because our Heavenly Father is there and our Lord Jesus the King of kings is also there seated at the right hand of God. As believers, we must always pray and ask for God's kingdom to come in our hearts, lives, businesses, careers, health, marriages, ministries, families, local churches, nations, and the world in general. When we do so, God will begin to work in us through the Holy Spirit who is His agent and His finger. Always pray and ask for God's kingdom to come in your life and world, in Jesus name. As you pray this prayer wherever you are, may God begin to release His supernatural power from heaven to destroy every yoke, every bo***ge, and every power of the enemy in your life. May God release upon you unusual power for breakthrough and cause change to happen in your heart, life, family, business, marriage, ministry, carrier, studies, finances and health, in Jesus' name. AMEN! Enjoy your meditation! *Word lifestyle with Apostle Frank Matala*

THE COMMITMENT OF FAITH
Shalom! Genesis 12:4 says, "So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran." We have in this scripture what I can call the COMMITMENT OF FAITH. Faith requires commitment! True faith in God commits to God and His promises. Abraham and His wife Sarah chose to commit their lives and futures to God because they had faith in God. They did what the Psalmist says in Psalm 37:5, "Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass." They decided to obey God and leave their country, their family and their father's house which are the very things that give a sense of security. They went like blindfolded people to a land that God had in mind for them. Faith in God and His promises made them to leave home and country, faith in God and His promises also brought them in the promised land. The life of Abraham must be a perfect example for all believers. Just as Abraham was saved by grace through faith (Romans 4:1-5, Galatians 3:6-14), we also are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8). Abraham lived and walked by faith (Hebrews 11:8-19), we too must learn to live and to walk by faith (2 Corinthians 2:5, Romans 1:17). Abraham proved his faith in God by his spontaneous and unquestioning obedience (Hebrews 11:8, James 2:18-23), we too if we want to walk with God successfully, we must prove our faith in God by obeying His word spontaneously and without question. Like Abraham, let us obey God even if we do not know WHERE (Hebrews 11:8-10), HOW (Hebrews 11:11-12), WHEN (Hebrews 11:13-16), or WHY (Hebrews 11:17-19). If we commit our lives and futures to God and obey Him like Abraham and Sarah did, we too will walk in God's plan and purpose for our lives and we shall receive what God has in store for us. Commit to God, His word, His ways, His work and His plans! Commit to God your life, future, affairs, and everything pertaining to you. Trust Him, He will take you to your destination, in Jesus' name. Amen! Enjoy your meditation! Word lifestyle with Apostle Frank Matala

ALIGNING PRAYER AND EXPECTATION
Shalom! One of the things we must learn to do is to align our expectations with our prayers. Too many people pray while expecting something else. Acts 12:15 says: "But they said to her, "You are beside yourself!" Yet she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, "It is his angel." These were the words of Peter's prayer partners when they head that Peter was freed from Prison. In other words, they were saying to the girl "You are mad!" Isn't amazing to see that the same people who were earnestly praying for Peter to be released from Prison didn't believe that Peter was freed from prison? It seems like they did not have enough faith that Peter would be freed, especially that the apostle James was already killed. Peter's praying partners probably expected the worst to happen. They most probably expected to hear that Peter had also been killed like James. But before we criticize the faith of these early believers, maybe we should consider checking our own faith to make sure that it is strong and absolute. Too often we pray asking and believing God to do things for us, yet part of us is not expecting what we are asking to happen. The Apostle James calls this "Double-mindedness" (James1:7-9). Let us learn to align our prayers with our expectations. What we pray and ask God to do for us must be what we expect Him to do for us. Let us not be double minded and unstable in our ways and faith. Let us have absolute faith in God. However, God remains faithful and sovereign. While they were expecting the worst, God did His BEST. Peter's praying friends found it difficult to believe and receive God's best which was Peter's freedom because they were not ready for it. Hence they said it is "his angel", not Peter. Let us learn to expect God's best in our prayers and situations. God wants you to expect the best when you pray. Don't expect less from God, expect the best from Him, in Jesus' name. Amen!

EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LIFE IS UNDER GOD'S CONTROL AND CARE!
Shalom! David made a very strong statement of faith in Psalm 31:15 and said, "My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me." David was in other words saying that all that pertained to him and his life was under God's control and care. His past, present and future were all under God's control and care. His childhood, youth, middle age and his old age were all under God's control and care. His good and bad times were all under God's control and care. His moments of joy and sadness, wars and peace, good health and sickness, weakness and strength, prosperity and adversity were all under God's control and care. Therefore no one and nothing could take his life before God's time and without God's permission. This is how every child of God must think and speak. We must emulate David the man after God's heart. We all pass through different times and seasons in life as God dictates and directs. David made this statement at a time when he was surrounded by enemies. His life was being threatened. As a child of God you must understand and establish that God is in control of the different times and seasons of your life. The different ages and stages of your life are all under God's control and care. God is in control of both your good and bad times. Your seasons of prosperity and adversity, joy and sadness, war and peace, good health and sickness, weakness and strength are all under God's control and care. No one and nothing, including the Coronavirus can take your life before God's time and without His permission. David also added a prayer of deliverance to his statement. Since God was in control of his life, David asked God to deliver him from those who tried to control his life or take it away because they had no right to do so. God heard and answered David's prayer. May God deliver you from anything and anyone that is trying to control your life or to take it away, in Jesus' name. Amen! Enjoy your meditation!

GOD CAN MAKE UP FOR YOUR LOSSES!
Shalom! God says in Joel 2:25, "So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust..." God reveals Himself in this scripture as a restorer. We all time and again lose good and important things which we are not supposed to lose. There are things in our lives that we've allowed Satan to steal, to kill and to destroy because of our own faults and follies. There are times, seasons and opportunities that we've missed and wasted because of lack of wisdom and discernment. The good news is that God has promised and undertaken to make up for our losses by His grace. God is a restorer! By His grace and mercy, God always restores to His people what we have lost or wasted, especially if we acknowledge our sins and confess them (2 Chronicles 7:14). God has a way of making up for every loss you have inccured in life, whether because of your own faults or for reasons that you don't know. By His grace, God can restore to you the things, the time or the seasons that you have lost or wasted. Jesus is a restorer and the only true restorer (John 10:10). Deny Jesus, I promise you, the locusts of this life, Satan and his agents will always be victorious over you, and they will keep on eating your years and blessings. Always run to God, believe on Him and ask Him for restoration, in Jesus' name. I pray that God will restore to you every good thing that you have lost or wasted. May He make up for every loss that the COVID19 has caused you to incur, in Jesus' name. Amen! Enjoy your meditation! Word lifestyle with Apostle Frank Matala

GOD CAN MAKE YOU FORGET!
Shalom! Genesis 41:51 says, "Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: 'For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.'” Joseph reveals to us in this passage of the scriptures another one of God's characters. God makes His people forget! God is able to make you forget the sufferings, the afflictions, the pains, rejections, the betrayals, the disappointments, the tears, the losses, the failures, the shame, the failures and all the bad memories of the past. God can give you The Manasseh blessing or what I call, "The amnesia blessing." Job 11:16 says, "You will forget your misery; it will be like water flowing away" NLT. God said in Isaiah 54:4, "... For you will forget the shame of your youth, and will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore." God has a way of making us forget. He can give you blessings that can make you forget the bad memories of the past. I pray for you that God will bless you in this season with things that will make you forget the bad memories of your past. I prophesy and declare the amnesia blessing upon your life, in Jesus' name. Amen! Enjoy your meditation! Word lifestyle with Apostle Frank Matala

"IT IS USUALLY WHEN FAITH FAILS THAT PEOPLE FAIL OR FALL”
Shalom and praise the Lord friend! Jesus said to Peter in Matthew 14:31, “...O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" Doubt was another reason why Peter began to sink in the midst of the storm after he had walked on water and the waves for a while. Notice that Jesus did not say to Peter, “O you of no faith”, but He said to him, “O you of little faith.” Peter had faith, but it was little and it was negatively affected by doubt. As soon as he became occupied with the storm, Peter began to doubt, his faith failed and he began to sink. The strong wind, the raging sea and the mighty waves terrified Peter so much so that he began to doubt, his faith failed and he began to sink. Doubt made Peter’s faith to fail. How true to our own life! Doubt is poisonous to faith in God! When we allow doubt to enter our heart, it poisons our faith and we begin to fail or fall. When faith in God fails, believers fail and begin to go down. In the time of famine, Abraham left the land where God placed him and he went down to Egypt because his faith in the God of provision failed. He failed to trust the God who brought him in Canaan to provide for him, even in the time of famine. This made him to live in fear, to lie and to put Sarah his wife in danger (Genesis 12:10-16). Elimelech and Naomi went down to Moab because their faith in Jehovah Jireh the provider failed. This cost the lives of Elimelech and his two sons (Ruth 1:1-5). We often fail in different areas of our lives because of doubt and because of the failure of our faith in God. We often fall because of doubt and the failure of our faith in God. Don't let your faith in God fail, don't allow doubt to affect your faith. No matter how many difficulties, challenges, setbacks or problems you may be facing, don’t doubt God, don’t allow your faith to fail, but keep on trusting Him to see you through. Amen!

"YOU ARE FIRE-PROOFED"
Greetings and praise the Lord friend! Daniel 3:25 says, "'Look!' he answered, 'I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.'" Hallelujah! Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego were thrown in an exceedingly burning and hot furnace so that they could burn and die because they refused to bow down to the statue of King Nebuchadnezzar. They chose rather to remain loyal to God and face the consequences. Let us learn from these faithful men to refuse to bow down to different evil and sinful things the ruler of this age asks us to bow down to. Let us learn from them to be and remain loyal to Jesus our Lord. Like Jesus our Lord let us always reject Satan's poisoned offers to bow down to him for shortcuts to glory, fame, wealth and power (Luke 4:5-8). Loyalty to God always pays off! God paid these Hebrew men's loyalty by not allowing them to be hurt or burned by the fire. The believer can be placed in the midst of a fire and yet not be hurt or burned. If you have been around as a Christian for some time now, you'll agree with me that we all find ourselves from time to time in situations that look like fire, but our God is so good and faithful that He does not allow the different fires we find ourselves in to hurt or burn us. The promise in Isaiah 43:2 is still valid for all believers. By His grace God will not allow the fire of sickness, debts, lack, demonic attacks, financial problems, work problems, marital problems or ministry challenges to hurt or burn you. Satan and people will be astonished to see that your problem or situation is not destroying you. They will be amazed and they will realize that you are not alone in that situation, but that Jesus is with you as He was with His disciples during the storm and the raging sea and the Hebrew young men in the fire. Too often God allows us to reach the hottest fire so that we can realize His presence with us. Often time it is only when we reach the fire that we can realize that God is walking with us as a shepherd with His rod and staff to comfort us. Cheer up! Jesus is with you! You are fireproofed! That fire will neither hurt you nor burn you, in Jesus' name. Amen! Enjoy your meditation. Word lifestyle with Apostle Frank Matala

No matter how long your night of suffering has been, your morning of joy is coming. God can transition you from a night of weeping to a morning of joy. He can bring in your life the dawnning of a new day after a painful time of suffering in the darkness (Psalm 30:5). His mercies are new each morning (Lam. 3:22-23), and His special help often arrives in the morning (Psalm 46:5). He will interpose and intervene in your situation just in the nick of time. Enjoy your meditation! Word lifestyle with Apostle Frank Matala
