Are You Letting Temporary Interruptions Keep You From Receiving the Fulfillment of God's Promises In Your Life?

Did you know just because something is interrupting your process doesn't mean it's stopping God's plan? You can't doubt God's plan just because your process is interrupted. The devil is going to try you. He does not want God's plan to be perfected in your life but the devil can't stop God. The devil can hinder you but he can't stop God.

The thing about Interruption is it's temporary. It's putting something on hold temporarily. It's unexpected. In most cases when you are interrupted, it's not something that you expect to happen.  When you are interrupted, your goals should remain the same. You still should be intentional about completing the process. The thing about completing the spiritually is, it's only when you complete the process that you actually get to the promise.

You have to stop allowing the temporary interruptions of life to interfere with you completing the process of getting to God's promises in life.  You have to remember that God's promises are true. You have to remember that God is not a man and He does not lie. You have to remember that He that began a good work in you is faithful to complete the work that He has started.

Remember, interruptions are just that, interruptions. Promises are the fulfillment of God's Word. So make sure you resume your process after you are interrupted so that you can receive the fulfillment of all that God has for you. Amen

Are You Trusting God Even When You Can't See Him Moving?

Waiting on God means trusting God even when you don't know what's happening. What you don't know, God knows. God has promised to watch over you, shield you, protect you, and to provide for you. He knows what to do next concerning your situation.

Your faith in your trust in God should reflect you trusting God to do whatever needs to be done next. God is not blind to the devil's intent. He knows what the devil is going to do and when he's going to do it. Now remember, God has promised to take care of you. He has promised to watch over you, to shield you, and to protect you. If you trust God to do that, you have to get into a place of not worrying and not fretting. You have to believe that God will do what He said he would do. 

God knows how to stop the enemy in his tracks. He knows how to interrupt the enemy's plan. He knows how to divinely intervene. When you ask God to do those things, you then have to trust Him to do it. You have to believe that He's going to honor His promises concerning your life. 

So today, trust God. Don't worry and don't fret. Believe that God is going to do what He said He would do. Wait on God to fulfill His promise. Amen

Proverbs 3:5-6

King James Version

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Are You Staying Rooted and Grounded in Prayer and Faith During the Silence of Your Enemy?

What are you doing during the silence of your enemy? Are you still praying or are you reacting in fear and doubt? Are you standing on the Word that God has already given you or are you letting the silence of the enemy affect you in ways that you should not.

Understand the silence of the enemy does not mean that the enemy has won. It means that the enemy probably wants you to react. It means that the enemy is strategizing. It doesn't mean that God's power can be overridden. It doesn't mean that you lose. It means that you need to stay rooted and grounded in prayer and the Word. You have to trust God no matter what. You have to know that no matter what the enemy is trying to plot or plan, you may not see it but God sees it all. The enemy cannot out wit God. He cannot overpower God. He cannot change what God has established, said, or set in place. His strategy is always to get to the flesh side of you. If he can get to the flesh side of you and make you to react in fear and doubt instead of faith, he can get to what God has for you. If he can't and you stand strong on the Word, God will honor His Word.

So, don't move based on the threats or the silence of the enemy. Trust God no matter what. Amen

Psalm 37:12-13

Are You Letting Your Feelings of Fear Destroy Your Words of Faith?

Are you so concerned about what's going on around you that you fail to take notice of what's happening inside of you? Are you so intimidated by outside circumstances that it pushes you into a place of fear and depression? Are you in a place where those things that you don't have control of, are now controlling you?

Are you feeling stressed, depressed, or are you on an emotional low? Are you emotions hijacking your peace? Are you at a place where you can't even think clearly in order to rationalize and discern right from wrong?

You can't let what's happening around your control what's happening in you. God wants you to stay in a place of faith. He want you to stay in a place of peace. What's going on around you can quickly put you in a place of fear. That's why it's important to have God's Word stored up on the inside. So that you can have His peace that flows from the inside out. So that the words that come out of your belly will be words of life and not death. So that you will have the strength, knowledge, and understanding to speak words of faith so that you can counteract the feelings of fear.

Psalm 56:3–4

“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”

Is Your Faith Rooted In Fear or Your Love and Trust in God? Has Fear Become Your Constant Companion?

Are you running? Are you hiding? Are you trying to handle things on your own? If you are doing all of these things, then your faith is not in God. Your faith is in what you think you can do or what you think you need to do.

Understand, you can have faith in fear. When you have faith in fear, fear becomes your friend. It becomes your constant companion. It's with you wherever you go. It's recognizable as relatable to you.

Just as God's Word prophesies to your life, so can fear. Fear will speak to you. It will tell you what you can and cannot have in life. It will give you negative words that predict failure, loneliness, and lack. Fear will bring with it the "what if" questions that come up in life. It will tell you stories about what you can't do and it will always give you worse case scenarios about what you are going through.

You will see throughout life people change companions constantly but make it a point not to become a companion of fear. Amen

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

What Are You Holding Onto and What Are You Letting Go Of? Are You Letting Go Of What You Should Be Holding Onto?

There are many things in life that we need to let go of but my question today is are you letting go of the right things or should I say the things that are wrong for your life? So often in life we try to hold onto the wrong things and we let go of the right things. We need to be holding on to God and His unchanging hand. We need to be holding onto our faith. We need to be holding on in prayer for our friends and our families. There are many things in life that we need to hold onto.

So often in life people let go. They let go of God. They let go of faith. They let go of friends and family and stop praying for them. They let go because of what they cannot see. You have to understand faith is believing for what you cannot see. So to let go when you can't see the results it's the opposite of walking in faith.

God has not only called us to walk in faith, He has told us to walk in faith. He said through faith and patience we shall receive the promise. He said to have faith in Him. Abraham is our example. God wanted us to see that walking in faith is possible. So understand today what feels like it is impossible, is possible with God. Stop letting the enemy win by letting go of the wrong things. The things you need to let go of all pertain to the enemy and His works. So filter your faith through the Word of God and you will always know what to hold onto and what to let go of. Amen

Are You Fretting Because Of Evil Doers? What God Says We Should Be Doing.

Are you fretting because of the evil someone else is trying to do to you?  To fret means to lose your peace. It means to be angry, anxious, and agitated. Is there something going on in your life that people are trying to do to you that's causing you to fret? The Bible tells us not to fret because of evil doers!  It tells us that our fretting only leads us to do evil as well.

The Bible tells us that instead of fretting over the evil that someone else is doing to us, we ought to turn away and to do good. That can be a hard thing to do. But that's what God wants us to do.  He said we are to depart from evil and to do good.  We are to shift our focus on things that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable.   It doesn't matter what others are doing, we are in control of what we do and we need to know how to bind up and cast down at the initial thought anything that tries to rise up that pertains to evil in response to the evil that someone else is doing.

This is where resistance comes in. We are to resist the devil and he shall flee. So we must resist the temptation to pay back evil for evil. We are God's children and our actions and reactions need to line up with God and His Word. We have to respond the way God would respond and not react the way the devil wants us to act. Amen

Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
