"God will get you through the pain."

Everyone experiences pain sometimes, emotional and physical. Next time it threatens to overwhelm you, take a deep breath. As you breathe slowly, picture God holding you, crying with you, giving you the strength to get through.

There is a difference between God's voice and the enemy's voice.

The enemy will tell you things that will lead you into bondage. But you shall know God's voice and He will guide you to freedom, wisdom and spiritual joy. The enemy will approach you in many ways-even through many people. But God will always approach you in truth and in spirit. When God speaks to you, your spirit will know Him. For the Scriptures says: "And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice." (John10:4) Always listen for His voice. And when you hear His voice-follow Him. Don't worry if you will understand Him. He is not the arthur of confusion. That other voice is!

When God puts a dream into your heart

When God puts a dream into your heart, there will always be others who will try to pull you away from it. Their approach may be subtle-but let there be no mistake about it, if anyone tries to pull you away from your dream that God gave you-God did not send them to you. Stay in agreement with God! Know that God is not the author of confusion. If He do not want you two have a thing, your spirit will receive it from God without confusion. With God's favor-when one door closes, another door will open. This is why we can have peace when we lose an opportunity. When we release our faith-God's power is activated! And when God gives you His favor, your enemies cannot come against you. No weapon formed against you can prosper!

Focus on the Good Qualities!

There are those who can only see the weakness in other people-& not their strengths. It is good to focus on the good qualities in others. Everyone have faults! But everyone also have some good qualities within them. We all have known those who have a critical spirit. Wherever they go, their critical spirit will follow them. A critical spirit will taint everyone & everything. The enemy is called "The Accuser of the brotheren." Help spread the word to others-not to follow the accuser. Such people will stand out like a sore thumb-& your spirit will know them! No one really wants to be around them. And wherever they go, their critical spirit will follow them. When we look for only the good in others-it creates an opportunity to build an encouraging relationship. It may even help some to begin to change their way of how they look at others. For the scripture says: "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, & if there be any praise, think on these things." (Philippians4:8) The Word of God is perfect! It not only teaches us-but it also correct us! To God be the glory!

Ready for a Break Through!

God is in control of our enemies. They just don't know it yet! But they will. Often, we face difficulties not because we are doing something wrong-but because we are doing something right! Our life sometimes may seem out of control-but know that out God is in control. Just as soon as you are about a good work-the enemy will throw out unexpected troubles. But glory be to God, we've learned that God will also throw out unexpected favors, healings, breakthroughs, and even turn-arounds! Just when you are cultivating the harvest God has blessed you with-unexpected weeds will show up! Even on a good day, weeds will try to pop up in the most unexpected areas of your lives. Know that these weeds (our enemies) are weapons of Satan. But God has already said: "No weapon formed against us shall prosper." I know this and you know this. So let's get ready for an unexpected victory! I'm ready for a break through! How about you?

Express Your Joy!

As children of God, we have the ability to find joy wherever we are-in Christ Jesus-through the power of the Holy Spirit. This is not just a "feel-good" joy! Regardless of our circumstances-God has given us the ability to tap into this unspeakable joy-wherever we may be. We not only have this ability, but we also have the responsibility-to lift up others as well. This special kind of joy is an "Anointing Joy" - given to us by God Himself. For the Scriptures says: "Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows." (Hebrews1:9) Even though we are responsible to bring joy into the lives of others-we are not responsible for them to accept it! That's their job! Some people want to live in the pits! Some like the attention it brings to them. There are also some people who will never change. Be mindful however, not to let them take away your joy. Jesus often would give his disciples joy-even when He knew of pending persecution from others. To that end (may I say) - even on a bad day-God has given us the ability to pass on His anointing joy to others! Oh by the way-when you share your joy with others-a special gratification is also given to your spirit. It works both ways!
