Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I can't shake my past." Often our past is what limits us and keeps us defeated. MEET THE NEW YOU You truly are a new creation—if you are in Christ. The old has passed away. Your past is over! GOD WILL USE YOUR PAST Live in Romans 8:28. All things, including your past, work for your GOOD! While your past is over, God can still make it work to your a...

Today we're fasting from the thought that says, "I feel depressed." We have all felt it at times. Depression is now the leading cause of disability in the world. So often, depression is anger turned inward at ourselves for our shortcomings and mistakes. Perhaps you’ve thought: “Life’s a drag; what’s the use; I’ll never be happy.” These thoughts are designed to rob you of the joy and confidence tha...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, “I’m feeling offended.” We all know what it’s like to be treated wrongly or unfairly and to be talked about or lied about. It’s easy to become offended and feel that we have the right to feel that way. But this is a destructive trap. BEING OFFENDED TRAPS YOU Skandalon (offense) is the trigger of a well-baited trap. When an animal touches the trigger...

Today we're fasting from the thought that says, "I feel like a victim." Viktor Frankl survived the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz by defining ultimate freedom as the ability "to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances." The worst prison in the world is the one we put ourselves in—our mind. NO ONE CAN KEEP YOU IN YOUR CURRENT SITUATION, EXCEPT YOU We must begin TODAY to accept total r...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, “It’s impossible.” Jesus said, “All things are possible to him who believes.” What is in your life today that you have given up on or considered impossible? Whatever it is (provided it’s legal!), don’t ever give up. Never, never, never give up. One Easter weekend, a major political story broke in America. The New York Times asked me, “Since this sto...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "I feel anxious." All of us deal with anxiety at various times in our lives. Some of the symptoms of anxiety include: heart palpitations, tension, fatigue, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, stomach aches, and headaches. You don't have to live this way. TREAT ANXIETY AS A SIGNAL RATHER THAN A CONDITION It is a signal to pray, and prayer will c...

Today we are fasting from the thought that says, "Happiness is so hard to find." There is no higher or deeper desire in the heart of mankind than happiness. It is the single most intoxicating emotion that drives every decision and pursuit of mankind. People have been looking for happiness—trying to buy it, trade for it, or discover it—since time began. But it's not hard to find. YOU DON'T HAVE TO...

When we feel powerless over our past, we feel guilty. When we feel powerless over our future, we feel afraid. When we feel powerless over the present, we feel depressed. And when we feel like the people or circumstances of our lives just won't change, we feel angry. A sense of powerlessness is the root of all negative emotions. The thought that there's not much we can do about the economy, or our...

Today we’re fasting from the thought that says, "I can't change." We’ve all felt at times that we can’t change a certain habit or a weakness in our lives. We often feel “confined” by whatever has previously “defined” us. But, as we change our mindsets regarding WHO we are and what God has given us, ANYTHING can change. Today a new hope will be born in you! AWAKEN TO GOD'S GRACE His grace empowers...

Remember we need to be more active and listen to our kids more than ever. 'WHY" because the enemy is on a mission  Ask yourself this.... Can my kids come to take to me about anything and you pass no judgement if you say 'NO' then you need to change it 'Now' 

Growing up, I watched a TV show called Wild Kingdom, which gave me insight into the jungles and wildlife in other countries. Without fail, every show about lions chasing after their prey made everyone stop to watch. While we didn’t want to see the poor antelope captured, we couldn’t move away from the TV until the tense situation was settled either way. There was one characteristic that stood out...

Have you ever asked God to take something away repeatedly with no results? It could be a physical illness, an emotional imbalance, or a spiritual drought. Regardless of how you plead with God, there’s been no change. Sometimes we can feel frustration rising up within us because we know that God is able to do anything. Yet, the thorns remain constant. The thorns in my flesh aren’t pretty nor conven...

How do we dig ourselves out of despair before it consumes our joy and peace? Perhaps we’ve experienced a winter season of cold, long, and dark days where nothing blooms or tweets out a lovely song in the morning. It could be from an illness, disappointment, discouragement, trials of many kinds, or unanswered prayers. We can resist despair by looking up to God. He knows when we are going through a...

Have you ever sinned and felt like God will never forgive you? Perhaps you’ve messed up your life and the lives of others with sinful behaviors that left terrible consequences. You want to ask God for another chance or a renewed start, but you don’t feel worthy or you don’t trust yourself to fall back into the same old sins There are many religions and cults which require people to do ma...

Some Christians are afraid of the devil because he causes much havoc in their lives and in the world around them. Yet, we are not to be afraid of Satan “for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” (1 John 4:4) If we remain close to God and His word, we become more familiar of Satan’s tactics and how to deal with him. (2 Corinthians 2:9) As followers of Christ, we need to B.E.W.A....

As you may know that something life get the best of us. I cause us to stir away from our goal and purpose that God has for us. But now is the time to get back on track and show the enemy that he have NO power or authority over us. What are you waiting on now is the time....... Welcome Back  

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV) Fretting and fighting over the small stuff will always cause you to lose your happiness. This is a hard habit to break because people are negative by nature and conditioned by culture.  Ever since Adam and Eve, we have been going around excusing and accusing. We excuse ourselves for...

Have you ever been in a valley of despair? Our disappointments, regrets, and unmet expectations reside in the valley. Sometimes it takes a while to climb out of it and we can find ourselves getting tired of the journey. The valley experience wasn’t what we anticipated when we began our Christian journey. We may have expected hard days, but not difficult years that a valley may bring. Yet, the vall...

The goodness of God is over us all the time whether we sense it or not. He is a good God who uses everything in our lives for our good because we love Him and we are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28) He is good to those who are His children as well as to those who are outside of the faith. (Matthew 5:45) When is God good? God is good when life seems to be all good. God is good when li...

Have you ever felt like doubt was winning in your mind? You want to believe God, but there’s always something that puts a pause in your spiritual walk. Sometimes you want to give up because it seems easier than pressing past the circumstances surrounding your life. Yet, there’s nothing on earth that can stop us when we stand our ground in faith. How do we press back with faith? We press back in fa...

Have you ever had a plan B just in case your plan A fails? But what happens when plans C, D, and E fail as well? We can get caught up in our own plans—to be married, to have children, to be gainfully employed, to move to another location, etc. However, some or all of our plans don’t happen even remotely as we desired. Married couples get divorced, couples struggle with infertility, people lose the...

I’m not a huge fan of trials. They come in all shapes and sizes in the most inconvenient times. I’ve found that I can’t necessarily prepare for the worst of trials because they target toward the weakest areas of my life. While knowing scriptures and praying regularly helps me get through trials—they don’t insulate me from the painful lessons that I need to learn in order to grow in my faith. How d...

It’s difficult when we’ve asked God for something and then we’re denied. It’s easy for us to fall into the trap of victim-like thinking: why is this happening to me? Why does everybody else seem like they’re doing great and I’m not? It can be hard when we don’t get what we want; however, it’s an opportunity for God to stretch our faith and help us to draw closer to Him. It’s spiritual maturity tha...
