Scripture tells us that if we go back and forth on what we believe, we are unstable and ineffective. Instead, we have to be fully persuaded that the Word of God is true no matter what we see. The way you stand firm in your faith is by staying focused on God instead of your circumstances. Sing praises to Him throughout the day and guard the words that come out of your mouth. When you stand firm in your faith, you have peace. You have a supernatural rest because you know God is in complete control. You trust Him completely. Today, stand firm in your faith, watch your words, and know that He is leading you into victory in every area of your life!
If You Know, You Know;
If You Don”t Know, Try Asking.
Encouragement
Hello Friends!
I will admit it has been difficult to keep up with reading His word on a daily basis and there is no one to blame but myself….HOWEVER, it doesn’t matter how much I DO because JESUS has PAID THE PRICE for ALL of US
…meaning it’s not based on our PERFORMANCE , but it depends on our FAITH in HIM!
Remember Apostle Paul and his trials? In 1 Corinthians 15:56-58, Paul says, “The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Lt nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”
LET’S NOT GIVE UP AND KEEP ON GOING!
Yours in Him,
Jonathan
P.S.
Adore God. Start the day by showing God love and honor. Greet God in prayer with words that show you love God and know he is wonderful. Talk about words that describe God, such as all-powerful, loving, and creative, then use those words in adoration.
Believe in God’s abilities. Before we ask…
Deuteronomy 6:4-9

For the Good by Shane and Shane
When darkness is surrounding me
by Your Spirit, Lord help me sing
that You are working all things out
Lord, I really need to hear you speak
Remind me in the waiting
that You are working all things out
For the good of those
who are called by You
for the good of those
who are in Love with You
That’s why we sing
Holy God of light
I lay down my life
Holy is the Lord
Even in the storm be glorified
We like to take the blessing from You
Shall we not take the trouble too
You are working all things out
We like to take prosperity
Shall we not take the suffering
You are working all things out
Holy are you Lord
even in the storm
be glorified
Worthy of affection
