All Things Are Possible

God says, yes indeed, all things are possible. We only have to have faith for this to be true. At times it seems as though there is nothing you can do to help a particular situation, and yet, there is the sense that once God gets involved, our entire lives can be transformed.

God is indeed sovereign in our lives. He is the one who can make all your dreams come true. Turn your life over to Him now and watch it grow and grow into a brilliant masterpiece!

When we seek God in all things, something wonderful begins to occur. He begins to take you on a journey. It’s a journey of challenges, but the road ahead of you is bright with the light of the Lord. He leads the way to truth, possibility and understanding. Life’s mysteries begin unfolding all around you, and you come to a place where you are given much guidance and relevant information for your life.

You soon begin to prosper. Prospering in the small things at first and then leading on to the bigger things. Daily chores begin to take on new meaning, since everything you do, is done for the Lord. You begin to shine in dark places, becoming a light for your household. Matthew 5:14 NKJV “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Your life’s purpose starts to take shape. Things that you never dreamed possible become glorious possibilities now! New talents are unleashed in you as you forge ahead in your new role. Things that you never even knew about yourself are discovered, and new capabilities become apparent.

God equips us with certain gifts that we are to use when serving our Lord. Different gifts for different people, all according to God’s special purpose and design for your life. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NKJV “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.”

PS We are all unique members in the one body, that is the Body of Christ, so let us all receive our gifting that the Father has chosen and set apart for us in this life, in order to serve our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:10 NKJV “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Amen.

All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

God's Love

God's love is eternal. We see God's love for us every day, with each sunrise, with the flowers in bloom, and in the very air that we breathe. With God's love you can move mountains! In the Bible, it says that we can speak to that mountain in our life and it will move out of our way! Mark 11:23 NKJV says "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says." How about that for God's love!

God can and will move that mountain for us when we speak these words over whatever is troubling us and blocking our way to receiving all of the wonderful gifts that we are purposed to have. All we need to do is to have the faith that this is indeed true.

Faith is believing in the unseen. Hebrews 11:1 says "To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see." Verse 6 goes on to say "No one can please God without faith, for whoever comes to God must have faith that God exists and rewards those who seek him." You see, God wants us to believe that He will indeed reward us for seeking Him.

He wants us to have the faith that what we ask for we shall receive. Matthew 7:7 says "Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will feind; knock, and the door will be opened to you." When things seem almost unbearable, with no way of knowing which way to turn, how about you claim this promise for yourself. Speak these words of truth then watch for the turnaround in your life. You will begin to see, little by little, all the things you hoped for unfolding before your very eyes.

Trust and you will begin to see changes. Things will begin to open up for you like never before. God wants us to be happy! He wants us to live joyous and fulfilling lives! He wants to flood our lives with miracles! At times it is hard to believe in this truth because we live in a broken world, and the world would have us believe that certain things are unachievable or impossible. I'm here to tell you now that if we listen to the world and all its claims then we will never get to live the glorious life that God has planned for His children.

We must rise above the calamity and claim our birthright! We must trust that the mighty hand of God is with us, leading the way. He will make our paths straight. Isaiah 26:7 says, "LORD, you make the path smooth for good people; the road they travel is level."

On the one hand, you've got the ordinary existence, dictated by worldly standards and expectations, and on the other, you've got the 'ordained life', gifted to us by God. It's just a matter of choosing what you would rather. Believe in God and you will see miracles. It is that simple.

Put your faith in Him and you will experience His loving arms around you and His gentle touch guiding you. Trust in Him and your life will be transformed. Not only will you experience God's love, but so will all the others around you. He will touch their lives through you.

They will see for themselves what it means to be loved by God. They will see it in your face, in your eyes, in the words you speak, and in the kindness that you show. They will see it in all the successes and blessings you have received. The blessings will flow into your life and then outwards to others. This, my friend is the love of God! Amen.

PS  God love you so much that He gave His Son Jesus to die for you that you may have life. Think about that one.....John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Amen.


Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe gifted me with these words today. Amen.
