Courage activates faith

Courage activates our faith and moves God to act on our behalf , when we show that we trust him more than the uncertainties.
We have to let faith win over fear. Fear says it might not work out, faith says it will ... We have to continually stay on the side of faith.

What's the worst that could happen?

Life in the Kingdom

When we are living in the kingdom... We will expect to be blessed in every area of our lives.  We should ......Expect raises and bonuses.. Expect good health..... Expect financial success.... Expect victory.... Expect great success for our children..... Expect a successful marriage.. Expect laws to change in our favor.. Expect that anything we touch will be blessed and anywhere we show up we will win.

Now since we expect all this we have to prepare ourselves by eating right... Taking care of our finances..... raise our kids right to make them think like kingdomers .... Step out with our plans..... Dress for success etc. Do our part and expect that God will come through in a big way.

The kingdom of God

The kingdom of God is a lifestyle.  If we are inside the kingdom we should look the part.....act the part.... as if  we belong instead of Llike peasants on the outside wishing we could get in.

The fact is we are not just in the kingdom as invited guests... That would be good enough but ... What's even better is that we have royal blood .... The blood of Jesus himself running through our veins. God uses the kingdom figuratively so we could see how we should live .... Like we belong instead of like peasants.

When courage meets faith

You have a desire to change things in your life but you're not sure its going to work out. You have to have the courage to take that leap of Faith to do it anyway. What's the worst that can happen?
We often talk ourselves out of doing what God desires for us because we are not sure its going to work out, but we have to learn to "do it afraid". It is only when we take the physical and necessary steps to make things happen that we can prove God.
God wants us to have the courage to try anyway regardless of What we think or feel, regardless of the uncertainties . God wants us to suceed in all things. He wants us to prosper but we cannot experience the  blessings of God unless we have the courage to implement the great plan that he has for our lives.

The strength of the Lord

1 Chr16.11.NLT

Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him. Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given.

We search for the Lord and for his strength through our prayer, praise, worship and by reading his words. We seek him also through prayer and the word.
Through the words and through our experiences we learn about His wonders or miracles as well as his rulings or his guidelines for how we should live. 

The spirit of God is emploring us to draw closer to him.  We need to  follow the leading of the spirit and even with our very busy schedule, find time when we can read the word, pray and praise. We need to honor him through our thoughts, speech and actions.

Let the spirit be our guide

Gal5.16.

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.

Motto

Ps63.3
Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you! I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer.

Hunger and Thirst

I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. ( ps. 143:6)

Prayer, praise and worship are not required for us to earn salvation but are by products of a life that is totally committed to Christ. Lord I love you so much. I cannot help but praise you. Let the praises for Christ ring out everyday in your life. Find simple things or big things to praise him for. Let prayer be the means by which we daily seek God's help, guidance and protection. Let's tell our minds that we need him so much and we depend on him for everything. Pray, praise, worship.

The Lord watches over us

Ps121.7.NLT

The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. No harm will ever befall us because the Lord is always watching over us. He makes sure that we are always safe.

He is omnipresent so where ever we are God is there to take care of us. In fact we have attending angels who go before us to prepare stuff for us in advance. We will live in confidence and give thanks to God for this. We will bless the Lord at all times for all his benefits. It's never his fault if bad things happen.

God's Favor

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.

God's favor is always upon us. We shall be treated with kindness wherever we go. We shall have good success in all things. We will be at the right place at the right time, we will always stand out as being special. We are children of the most high God...

PRAISE THE LORD

Ps103.2.NLT

Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!

Choosing to be positive

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life. --Joel Osteen

Choose to think positive, be happy, have a great attitude and make positive goals for the future. Remember to think it first, then speak it, soon you will believe you can do it, next you will start working towards it and it will become your reality. 

It is your faith that moves you to work towards achieving your goals.  Faith acts!  First you believe, then you do, then things start to change. 

We do what we can, God does what we can't.

Pray, Praise, Worship

I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. ( ps. 143:6)

Prayer, praise and worship are not required for us to earn salvation but are by products of a life that is totally committed to Christ. Lord I love you so much. I cannot help but praise you.

Let the praises of Christ ring out everyday in your life. Find simple things or big things to praise him for. Let prayer be the means by which we daily seek God's help, guidance and protection. Let's tell our minds that we need him so much and we depend on him for everything. Pray, praise, worship.

Give God Praise

Ps105.1.NLT Give thanks to the LORD and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.

He gives us peace and confidence even in the midst of a storm. When we worship, pray or praise God that is our way of thanking him for his blessings. Many of his blessings are intangible some are the things we take for granted.. like the fact that we are saved and can differentiate between wrong and right. The fact that we believe that we have favor and that we can and will do great things. There are so many things that we should praise God for today.

What are you praising God for today?
Think of what he has done to make your life better.
