God REACTS to how you RESPOND!

The miracle is in YOUR mouth!

Proverbs 18:21 lets us know that "death and life are in the power of the tongue." With that being said, consider what you use your mouth for. The actions of your tongue can cause atmospheres to shift in your favor, but take care that it can also destroy lives, homes, relationships, ministries, and many other facets of your life! 

SO.....What are you commanding?????

Are you thirsty?

The bible challenges us by stating in John 7:37, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.” That challenge, or invitation, caused me to ponder over a few thoughts today. Jesus beckoned those of us who are thirsty to come to him. I wonder, this day, what exactly most are thirsting after. Are you seeking God for something you need, or are you in pursuit, like Moses, to see the glory of God? Are you merely in search of a miracle or breakthrough FROM God, or are you desperate for an experience WITH God?

So.……..ARE YOU THIRSTY?????

Do you see what I see?

Psalm 30:5 says, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning", what is happening in the "night process" in preparation for the joy that comes in the morning? Sometimes God, in his infinite wisdom, takes his time in his process of preserving. The longevity of the process is not because he's unable to bring about an immediate change, restoration, healing, deliverance, etc. It's because he as to allow TIME to build our faith. His aim is to develop godly character in us. He knows our insecurities, fears and areas of weakness, so he uses this "night process" to build up and strengthen our faith..
SO.....Do you see what I see?

I see Purpose on the other side. I see Promise on the other side. I see Victory on the other side. I see Joy that comes in the morning...
.....DO you see what I see?

Do you know who I AM?

When I think of that question, I think of rich folks who find themselves up against resistance or find themselves being denied of something they feel they have a right to because of their influence or affluence. They subscribe to the consideration that their status or wealth entitles them to whatever they are big and bad enough to request or desire. When their fame, title, influence or access to people in power goes unrecognized, you can usually hear them ask the question-“do you know who I am?”

Many people are operating out of hurt. Like functioning alcoholics, they are “functioning victims”. I want to encourage someone today to understand that God wants to free you. He asks the question: “Do you know who I AM?”

God wants to free your bowels from frustration and destroy every yoke in your life-the yoke that represents the pains of your past that holds you hostage; the yoke that mirrors the negative disposition of your present that has your mind under siege; the yoke that resembles unforgiveness, bitterness, or envy; that yoke that includes cheating, adultery, and those “little white lies”. As a matter of fact, everything that hinders you from operating in Purpose is what he seeks to free you from. The enemy, however, desires to keep you chained up so that you cannot discover your identity because once you unlock and embrace who you are, you are a tremendous threat to him and his kingdom.

I dare somebody look around and say, “Do you know who I AM?”

Listen, It’s not just about who you are, but who He is that has the ability to work in, through, and for you! He is I AM that I AM!! What do I mean?

Read Matthew 16:13-17

Often times, we risk forfeiting what God has for us and what He desires to do in our lives because the enemy beats us down with the truth of our past. We attach who we were to our present and allow that to become a smokescreen, but when you tell God who we are because of our shortcomings, He reminds us of He is:

·         Lord, I am alone and have no one I can trust--"I am the Lord, I change not." (malachi 3:6)

·         Lord, I am broken..Lord, I am sick…Lord, I am dying--"I am the resurrection, and the life" (John 11:25).

·         Lord, I am a liar who has lost his way--"I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6).

·         Lord, I am in darkness and can’t find my way to peace or joy--John 8:12: Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I AM the light of the world.”

·         Lord, I have been rejected and those I’ve loved have turned away—“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God” (Isaiah 41:10)

 

·         Lord I am a sinner, a cheater, an adulterer, I am a backslider—“I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my sake, and remembers your sins no more”(Isaiah 43:25)

·         Lord, I am falling, my life is falling apart..I am a loser—“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you” (Isaiah 46:4)

Living in the IN-BETWEEN....

While you are between the Prophecy and the Promise, What are you doing as you wait? You've been through too much to quit. You have made too many sacrifices to give up now!
 If God said it, I believe it, AND THAT SETTLES IT!! Like a tree planted by the rivers of water, be not removed. Stand firm on what God had promised. Lord, I pray that you search
 the hearts and the minds of every recipient of this message and help them to hold on while they wait. Help them to pray while they wait.help them to worship while they wait. Help
them to praise while they wait. Help them to trust while they wait. Help them to preach while they wait.help them to sing while they wait. Help them to glorify YOU with their lives while they wait on the Promise you spoke over their lives. Help them Lord, to realize that sometimes the greatest pains come right before the greatest BREAKTHROUGH. Keeptheir hearts encouraged Lord. Keep their minds renewed, for they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. Family, know that weeping may endure for a night, but joy is coming in the morning...there's been a shift in the season and I see the breaking of DAY!
The promise of God are YEA AND AMEN & I believe it and pray you do too !!!!
Love, TK

WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE?

Many of us stand waiting for a touch from God. We cry out from the very core of our souls, "touch me, Jesus!" but let me ask you this-What will it take, and how long will you wait before you stretch forth to touch HIM? Like the woman with the issue of blood, can you get the Lord's attention with YOUR faith and your worship? There was something beyond "need" That urged her to pursue Christ. There was something that superseded desperation  that caused Jesus to feel virtue leaving him. That  touch was not just a physical one-it was a touch of  faith, of trust, of worship. That is my point today.   With our sacrifice of praise;as we worship in spirit  and in truth; in our diligent pursuit of God's presence  founded on who he is and not just on what we need from him, is how we "touch" God..and oh what a powerful touch it is when he touches back! Unlike with man, You'll never have to worry about being  rejected when you reach for The Lord. You'll never  be told, "no", "don't" , "stop" , or "not right now" as  you seek to be in his presence. How marvelous is  that? So I encourage you today family, to not merely  wait to be touched by God to change your condition, situation, or environment- press beyond the crowds,  the chaos, the circumstance, and touch HIM! I want to challenge your thinking with this Thought: WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE????  Love, TK

You can't handle the TRUTH!!

Don't be offended by TRUTH!
TRUTH says....You have been bought with a price so God can do what he wants to do in and with your life! As the Potter, he's working with a lump of clay that is marred, filthy, hard, disobedient,and as he shapes it and beats it and steps on it and break it, he's making something out of it! 
TRUTH says...you are going to have to struggle with yourself. Get over YOU! 
TRUTH says...You are fearfully and wonderfully made. 
TRUTH says... you can't serve two masters, for you will love one and hate the other. 
TRUTH says...you are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood! 

TRUTH says...whatever you're facing right now-It's working for your good TRUTH SAYS....whatever you need from God-It's ALREADY done!

Be blessed by TK's Thought For The Day-"You can't handle the TRUTH!!"

BREAK THE BOX

 

The contents of the box was what prokokes the worship .There are some things that you have adorned the cover with to shield the oil inside. Its shell has been hardened by tears, by pain, by regret, by shame . The beautiful mask is crafted with precious jewels all pretty but it's when the box is broken that the oil can be placed at his feet. Your hurt has turned the box to stone. Your fears have turned to box to tone. Your disappointments have turned the box to.stone. every anxiety is a jewel that adorns the box. Every instance of rejection and betrayal is a jewel that adorns the.box. but God needs what's on the inside. The sweet smelling fragrance of the oil on the inside of YOU that money can't buy, relationships can't substitute, fame and titles can't match it's worth. Break the box! That oil is unique. That oil is purposed. Break the box! You've been holding on to the box because of what it represented, but if u break it and let what has been preserved on the inside flow at my feet, I will remember you. I will cause the world to remember you. They won't know you by name, but your works will transcend generations....BREAK THE BOX! Some people are not going to understand the significance or the impact of the oil on the inside of you, but it's for MY GLORY...BREAK THE BOX! It's contents costed you everything you had-friends, lovers, peace, joy, family, children, jobs, material possessions-but if you break the box, I'll restore you....I'll bring multiplicity to your life...I'll bring abundant rains to your dry.land....I'll bring healing to your body and wholeness to your soul....BREAK THE BOX! It's for my GLORY! You've held it in, you've held it together and kept it all pretty on the outside while I've been stirring and shaking some things up in your life to get you to spill the oil that's on the inside...BREAK THE BOX! GREATER works have I in store for you.. GREATER anointings have I chosen for your life... GREATER relationships have I declared over your life... GREATER health have I ordered for you... BREAK THE BOX!!! This was not meant to destroy you. This was meant to PREPARE you.... Down there, at His feet....you are in RECOVERY!!!

Here's Today's Show : Is it Too Tight?

Here's Today's broadcast where T.K asks the question: Is it Too Tight? We know that the scripture tells us that when the enemy comes in like a flood, God shows and raises a standard. So today the standard has been lifted on your behalf!!!!!  Be blessed and know that GOD is able . Make sure you check out our program on Thursdays  from  10am-12noon  est @ atlpraisehouse.com

YOU ESCAPED!

Good Morning family! As I wrestled with sleep, this THOUGHT FOR THE DAY was pressed upon my heart to lift someone's head: Somebody is stuck, upset and discouraged because they failed to recognize that they ESCAPED! However, I challenge you to look back over your shoulder to where God has brought you through. I'm sure somebody can say, "I should be a statistic, but I escaped!"; "I shouldn't have woke up when I swallowed those pills, but I escaped! "; "I should have flat lined & died, but I escaped! "; "I should have lost my mind when they walked out on me, but I escaped!"; "I should have been in jail, but I escaped!" ...Don't worry about what people think or say about you. They can't understand the level of your praise because they can't comprehend the depth of the pain you've been delivered from... GO FOR BROKE with your praise and Rejoice, my friend, as well as renew your mind, for the pains of your past prisons are propelling you to your PROMISE! Stand knowing that it is NOT in vain...Love, TK

GOD IS ENLARGING YOUR TERRITORY!!

What does it mean when a pair of shoes get too tight? It signifies you have OUTGROWN them and they must be replaced with what is able to contain the capacity to which you have grown. As we follow Jabez's example and pray for God to enlarge our territory, we must have a complete understanding of God's promise that whatever we ask believing, He shall bring it to pass.

 Now if you are like me and are resolute that ALL of the Lord's promises are true for he cannot lie, then you walk in expectation of whatever petition you have placed before the Father. If this is the case, why do some despair when they experience loss of material possessions, lovers, relationships, and/or jobs?

Can you not see that what you have asked of God is being manifested as promised and he is ENLARGING YOUR TERRITORY causing you to outgrow what is now unable to contain your capacity? Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid, God is expanding your borders to greater works, greater love, greater anointing, greater wealth, greater dreams, greater destiny, greater health, greater homes, greater businesses, greater relationships! God's POWER can't fit into any box you and I unintentionally tend to put him in.

Last year was a season of PREPARATION, but 2014 is the season of TRANSFORMATION  & ELEVATION! Therefore, if things look crazy, it's just a sign that your borders are increasing so that the abundance that God has ordered for your life THIS YEAR, will not overwhelm your territories. So, peace be still. Joy overflow like a river. Healing line up with The Spirit. Dry bones LIVE as I command with my mouth.

IT...IS...SO!!!

“Behold, I am doing a NEW thing!”

Finding myself in an unfamiliar place spiritually and naturally I began to worship this week. This place, though unfamiliar, is both a GREAT AND AWESOME place as well as one that’s puzzling in some arenas. Like Ezekiel, the Lord inquired of me, “Can these bones live?” and have been showing me with his great hand (according to my faith) that YES they can! Well this day, while I could not form the words to offer up in prayer for MYSELF, he presented me with the faces of some of you on my drive to work. As I was flowing along in traffic and your faces flashed in my mind’s eye, he spoke these words for you: “Behold, I am doing a NEW thing!” Now that reassurance is significant to each of you for different reasons,  but I want you to be comforted in that promise. God needs not a sidewalk, a doorway, nor an invitation to do what he intends to do in your life. He is weaving his hands to restore your waste places, renew your joy, reposition your feet, and repair your heart RIGHT NOW! I am excited for you. Rejoice in the NEW THING that God is setting you up for. Your life will never be the same for this is the season you have been praying and waiting for. I challenge you friends to walk by faith and in the operation of the Spirit that has been breathed into you-the very breath of God. I challenge you further to seek out and stay in His presence, for in the presence of God there is not only fullness of joy, but there is EVERYTHING that you need and desire. Fear cannot stand in his presence. Defeat cannot stand in his presence. Pain cannot stand in his presence. So if you are afraid, broken, hurting, anxious, worried, depressed, lonely, weary, angry,  or just plain ‘ol sick and tired of being sick and tired-GET IN HIS PRESENCE and take comfort in the “new thing” God is eagerly performing in your situation and in your LIFE!

…..What will you choose to do with the time you have left????

IT..IS..SO..!!

These words were put on my heart while at work one day. I scribbled them on a piece of paper and forgot about it until I opened my desk drawer, so now I wish to encourage someone today. 

Be blessed! ~ TK

When you wish upon a star

It doesn’t get you very far

But when you pray upon your knees

The Savior answers when you believe

With hearts open, though mouths be closed

Trust that your secret hopes He already knows

His timing with yours may not compare

But your heart’s desires are safe in His care

Sometimes he prunes you as answers seem delayed

But delay is not denial so don’t be dismayed

He’s setting you up to be blessed beyond belief

Bringing comfort to your sorrows & to your troubles-sweet relief

So fret not when a door closes for a window he shall crack

And He’ll raise up a standard when the enemy rushes to attack

Stand fast my friend, and know the Rescuer is on the way

He aims to deliver for He heard you before you prayed

Lift your head & refuse to listen to the lies anymore

Your present troubles cannot compare to what He has in store

The Lord seeks to bless you and make you smile again

So offer up a ‘THANK YOU JESUS!’….IT IS SO! AMEN.

My prayer is that those words he placed on my heart blessed one of you today.

IN GOD'S EYES......

When God determines and reveals your identity, your life will never be the same. As he progresses you through the process of Transformation to Elevation, the giants in your life will become miniscule as you focus on God! Sometimes the Shift requires a Shedding, but trust God's wisdom. He's taking you to a place that can only be experienced in its fullness as you completely surrender. This place called 'More Than Enough' will be the culmination of the answers to your prayers on the wind and the treasures you have stored up in your service to the Lord. I challenge to look yourself in the mirror and see what God sees when he looks upon you. The scars you now see are healed in his eyes. The shame you now see is redeemed in his eyes. The planks called 'questions' that now overwhelm your eyes, are exclamation points (!) of Restoration and Promise in his eyes. It has been declared by God, and I also decree now in faith, that your LATTER SHALL BE GREATER!! Go look again into that mirror and I'm confident that you will see a "cloud the size of a man's hand" that brings the promise of outpouring rains in the dry and desert places of your heart and mind. Sometimes our lives present an oxymoron. We have favor on the front side and frustration on the back. We have opened doors on one end, yet are oppressed by doubts, hurts, and pains on the other end. We experience a new level of anointing on one side and struggle with anger and disappointment on the other end. But as I encourage myself, I desire to encourage at least one other person to lift your head and thank God for the "Not Yet!"....How? With a radical praise and an unhampered worship! I dare you to continue your pursuit blinded to your own struggle and deafened to your own cries, but entranced by WHO God is!!

THE PLAN HAS ALREADY BEEN SET!

 That's what God said to me some few short hours ago. Then I heard Jeremiah 29:11 "for I know the plans I have for you"....I got excited when he said that little bit right there. The rest of the verse is bonus!!!! Trust me when I say that I fully understand the story behind the tears, but Listen, don't get frustrated in the process. While you're trying to get to the miracle, the miracle is seeking YOU out! Just ask the man at the pool of Bethesda about his experience with the miracle named Jesus. Before he asks you the question, he already knows the answer...Before you call, he already hears you....Before the pains, he already ordered victory...Before the cross, he already knew about the GLORY!!! So be encouraged as I am today, for The Plan...my insides are leaping...I'm out, TK

IN THE MIDST.....

2 Corinthians 3:17 let's us know that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is LIBERTY! Therefore, this is the season that you shall COME FORTH..the bondage stops here...the death report is cancelled...the NOT YET becomes YES this season...YOU ARE NO LONGER BOUND!!! Turnaround is here...the enemy can't have your mind. He can't have your heart...he can't have your relationships....he can't have your children....he can't have your ministry. ..he can't have your joy...he can't have your praise...he can't have your finances! This is the year of ELEVATION. Not just prosperity- Purpose & PROMISE! Have I not spoken? Will not I not perform it? Famine has hit your life-mind, body, ministry, relationship,finances A cloud the size of a man's hand-Elijah If God said it, he shall bring it to pass! HE SAID that I have come that you might have LIFE and life MORE ABUNDANTLY..it's turning around! HE SAID no weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that rises up against SHALL BE CONDEMNED...its turning around! HE SAID that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to THE GLORY which shall be revealed...its turning around! HE SAID that he is close to the brokenhearted and he saves those who are crushed in spirit....it a turning around! HE SAID if you delight yourself in him, that he would give you the desires of your heart....it's turning around! HE SAID you shall be above and not beneath...SHALL be the head and not the tail...shall be the lender and not the borrower....its turning around! HE SAID you shall NOT die but LIVE and declare the works of the Lord....it's turning around! You've cried long enough...it's turning around! You've been through enough....it's turning around!

FIGHT!

FIGHT! Fight for your peace. Fight for your mind. Fight for your marriage. Fight for your anointing. Fight for your victory over this flesh. Fight for your Promise! Many of us have grown weary already. We've lost sight of what we've hoped for because of the cares of this world. But I want to encourage someone's heart today that what seems like chaos, what appears to be confusion, what resembles chains, are all results of you being CONSIDERED! The events that transpired in Job's life were a consequence of his name coming up and him being considered! The Lord knows what he has planted within you. He is fully aware of the seed of Purpose that MUST be in operation in your life according to His plan for your life. He stands assured that what He allows will work to strengthen and push you to Purpose. So stand firm family, that as you fight towards Promise, your expected end shall mirror that of Job's- DOUBLE for your trouble! Keep pressing and I'll keep praying with you...Love, TK

IT'S TURNING AROUND!!!

If God said it, he shall bring it to pass! HE SAID that I have come that you might have LIFE and life MORE ABUNDANTLY..it's turning around! HE SAID no weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that rises up against SHALL BE CONDEMNED...its turning around! HE SAID that the sufferings OF this present time are not worthy to be compared to THE GLORY which shall be revealed...its turning around! HE SAID that he is close to the brokenhearted and he saves those who are crushed in spirit....it a turning around! HE SAID if you delight yourself in him, that he would give you the desires of your heart....it's turning around! HE SAID you shall be above and not beneath...SHALL be the head and not the tail...shall be the lender and not the borrower....its turning around! HE SAID you shall NOT die but LIVE and declare the works of the Lord....it's turning around! You've cried long enough...it's turning around!

PEACE BE STILL!

In some stolen moments today, I began to ponder and inquire upon the Lord regarding peace. What I consider revelation, or what some of you may consider “insight”, this is what was placed on my heart: The reason our peace escapes us is because we want to hold God to the constraints of our own desires within the limitations and boundaries of our own mortal mindsets. Isaiah warns us, however, when in Isaiah 48:17 he states, “This is what the Lord says- your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: ‘I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go’” It is not necessary, nor is it wise to profess our trust in God to alleviate our pains, fill our barns, rescue us from our calamities, and all the while ignore the existence of the very obstacles or trials that we seek deliverance from. It is, however, more effective to acknowledge those tribulations we are facing AS we proclaim our trust in God as our ever-present help! Unclear on what I mean? Let’s delve further to see if anything next sounds familiar… “God, my refrigerator is empty, BUT you are Jehovah Jireh and have provided for my needs according to riches in glory”….”Lord, he/she walked out and abandoned me, BUT you have not nor will you ever leave me or forsake me”….”Father, my heart is broken (or my body is in pain), BUT you are close to the brokenhearted and you save those who are crushed in spirit”….”My God, the job laid me off and I don’t know how I’m going to feed my children and pay these bills, BUT the cattle upon a thousand hills belong to you so you have and will continue to supply my every need”….” Oh, my Lord, I’ve reached a place in my life where I don’t know where to go and I don’t know what to do about what I am facing. I’m scared and I feel all alone. I don’t want to face failure again, but I know I certainly cannot stay in the place I’m at now, BUT you told me that if I lean not on my own understanding but in all my ways acknowledge you that you would direct my path. You are my strong tower! You are my Wonderful Counselor!” Did any of those concerns sound familiar to you? Well, I decree that God has heard and He understands. Have peace in knowing that He who has created you knows all of your anxious thoughts. He’s intimately familiar with your secret longings and your innermost desires. Isaiah 40:28-29 states, “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired and weary, and his understanding no one can fathom”, therefore, cast all your cares upon Jesus Christ for he cares for you!

PUSH!

"God is not man that he should lie, neither is he the son of man that he should repent", therefore You cannot abort what has been purposed for you! PUSH through the fire..PUSH through the pains...PUSH through the floods...PUSH through what ails you. All sickness is not unto death! So whether you are physically sick in your body, sick in your finances, sick in your mind, or sick in your heart, you "shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord" (Psalm 118:17) . This shall be your testimony. GOD shall get the glory from this experience. Promise shall be manifested at all costs. Did you not expect to be troubled, tempted, or tortured in your mind and/or emotions? Have you not realized that like Job, that you have been considered? DOUBLE for your trouble is on the way! Gird up your loins and be steadfast. You were not designed to break and your promise is peeking just behind the horizon. Speak LIFE and WALK! Remove the planks from your eyes and see that you are on the cusp of your BEST days, your heart's desires, your PROMISE. Don't delay and don't get caught in the dark....what will you do with the time you have left?? Love, TK Only you know your story, but God sees and He understands!

When Sunday Comes...

WHEN SUNDAY COMES!! Some of you are in the middle of your Friday where all hope seems lost. The situation seems dead. What you thought may be appears to be no more. You are scared and feel helpless. You're concerned that there is nowhere to turn or to lean on. Friday leaves you discouraged, heartbroken, betrayed, and powerless. But....When Sunday Comes, LIFE is breathed into those circumstances that signaled death. Your hope and your power is restored. Well, it's SUNDAY family!!! Your joy is being resurrected NOW. Your peace has a pulse NOW. Rejoice this day and shake off the dirt that has been poured over you, for the Son is shining and it is finished!! Be blessed.

COME FORTH!!

Four days late and He was still ON TIME! When the situation was dead and buried. When all hope was lost. When the impossible became the inevitable-Jesus is still right on time! Lazarus, dead four days, and his sisters filled with despair, the Lord shows up and has the audacity to wonder what everybody is all upset about. How could he have the unmitigated gall to speak LIFE into something that was so obviously dead to all those who witnessed? How dare he utter words that restores what was once enveloped with a foul odor & tucked away alone and secluded from the world around it ? God wants you to know today, that though your circumstance is adorned with grave clothes and the stench from the hole your situation has you trapped in is overwhelming to those around you, He is here on the scene of your crisis, of your brokenness, of your pains, to say, "COME FORTH!" There shall be glory after THIS and all glory must go to God. He planned this thing that has you perplexed. From afar off, He saw this thing that has you stressed. With an end in mind, He consented to this thing that has you confused. YET HE IS STILL IN CONTROL! Even now, he's commanding the grave clothes to be removed. He's ordering what has you bound to be untied. Can you hear him calling your name? As with Lazarus, can you see him standing before you, beckoning YOU to come forth? Two words that authorizes you to move by the power of God-"COME FORTH!" Will you trust the freedom he's now giving you to shift into His presence? I pray you will! ...Love, Key

What Does God Say ?

People may call you a liar, thief, stingy, unreliable, procrastinator, lazy, immoral, adulterer, doubter, dead beat, junkie, drunk, or even a "lost cause"..But what does GOD call you?

 God says you are PECULIAR, you are REDEEMED, you are PURPOSED, you are CHOSEN, you are FREE!! Aren't you glad that the Father doesn't call us by what we look like right now, but by what He has created us to be?

  That is how our Lord sees us! So do not despair when you are cast aside because of your "present", for God is not going to stop his process of perfecting you until the work he has begun IN YOU is complete.I encourage you to keep getting up when you fall & keep pressing forward when quitting seems to be the easier option!

Here's Lashun Pace - Just Because God Said It

Release Your Power!

I am a firm believer that we hold POWER between our lips. I've discovered that the enemy subscribes to that notion as well. For that reason alone, he attempts to intimidate, discourage, distract, and overwhelm  your heart & mind with burdens in efforts to keep your mouths closed.

When you speak life, peace, victory, favor, and/or healing, through the blood & in the name of Jesus, the atmosphere, circumstance, situation is COMMANDED to obey. The Word encourages us that "life and death are in the power of the tongue", therefore, if Satan can cause us to shut the doors of our mouths, we won't speak the deliverance & restoration that we seek, into existence.

 We rescind into the hidden places of our minds. We hide in the cracks of our broken places. Today family, for my life & yours, I declare with an OPENED MOUTH, that waste places are being restored, relationships are being mended, bodies & minds are being healed & joy is being renewed! !

You don't have to be popular to be POWERFUL!

When Jesus purposes you for something, he gives you the power to do it! So what the crowd is gone and it seems like you are in this thing alone.

Who cares that folk reject you and it begins to look like perhaps you misunderstood the plan after all.

YOU ARE NOT BY YOURSELF , Jesus is right there saying, "I got you son", "I'm right here beside you daughter"...Square your shoulders back & lift up your head, for God's plan shall ALWAYS prevail!!

Walk in the authority of Christ that has been placed within you. People, life's circumstances, the enemy, nor even your own emotions or mindset don't have anything on the POWER OF GOD to move, to change, to draw, to lift, to fill, to bless, to enlarge, to heal, & to restore.

So I encourage you, as was Paul, "being FULLY PERSUADED that God had the POWER to do what he had promised"(Romans 4:21). That includes THROUGH you as well as FOR you.....

IN THE FIRE...? THERE'S HELP

 Sometimes God's power is most evident once you're already in the fire...

 I realize it would be more comfortable and more convenient for him to show up now before the flames get too high, before you're in the middle of your mess without an anchor, before you're seared from the heat of pain and despair. However, with his infinite wisdom, God has decided that he will get the glory from your circumstance in the sight of your enemies, doubters, and accusers who are standing near with a watchful eye in anticipation of your demise, decline, and destruction. He is, as Psalm 23:5 states, preparing "a table before me in the presence of my enemies".

Consider the experience Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego underwent. They were cast into a fire so hot that it burned the soldiers who opened the doors of the furnace to throw them in. Yet they remained steadfast in their faith that God was still in control. Though physically bound themselves, their faith untied the hands of the Lord to move on their behalf. He showed up in the midst of the fiery furnace. He unchained them from their calamities and granted them FREEDOM to walk in the FIRE!! The Lord waited until they were in a situation that they could not help themselves out of and then he CHOSE THEM!! He chose to use them and their circumstance to reveal his power and his faithfulness. He chose them to restore. He chose them to rescue. He chose them to deliver.

 Often times, we become negligent in our worship and lax in our praise forgetting that we do not serve God because we chose him to be the head of our lives, but on the contrary, the Lord chose us! For that very reason alone, you OWE God a praise!

 Like David, "I will extol the Lord at all times, his praise will always be on my lips" (Psalm 34:1)

Whispers of the Enemy

When the enemy whispers lies to your mind that it just isn't worth all the sacrifices, afflictions, & struggles you must endure to maintain a REAL relationship with Christ, God shouts the comfort of the truth of his Word.

I encourage you all with a scripture that blessed me this morning. Revelation 3:8 says, " I KNOW YOUR DEEDS. SEE, I HAVE PLACED BEFORE YOU AN OPEN DOOR THAT NO ONE CAN SHUT.I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE LITTLE STRENGTH, YET YOU HAVE KEPT MY WORD AND HAVE NOT DENIED MY NAME".
Keep pressing, God is a rewarder to those who diligently seek him so the DESTINATION is certainly worth the journey. Here's Maartha Munizzi with I Know The Plans  God has a plan for YOU !!!

God Never Lies ...

When you wanna turn left and God says, "turn right!"...When you wanna make a move and God says, "be still!"...When you wanna say no and God says, "YES!"...Can you still give him a YES?? Can you surrender YOUR WILL to His will? That's what he wants to know from us all today. "Can you love me when I tell you 'NO'?" That's what I hear him saying right now. He's asking, "Will you trust me when it seems impossible and you wanna quit hoping?

As the tears flow down my cheek, I want to encourage someone's heart and lift someone's head today with this: God is not man that he should lie; neither is he son of man that he should repent. (Numbers 23:19) Family, no matter how long you've been waiting...no matter how hard you've been praying...no matter how fierce the winds and the storms have been blowing in your life, GOD CAN and he will perform that thing which he has promised. My hope is in the Lord. No other help or hope I know. Though it hurts some days, I'm going to keep giving him my "YES" and  I pray you will too. Take up your cross, walk, and Be encouraged! Here's LaShun Pace along with Rev. Lawrence K. Thomas and Kirk Franklin singing Yes To Your Will.

God's Time Isn't Your Time

God met me this morning ,to remind me about distractions. Colossians 3:2 states  to  "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things"

When we allow our minds to wander or take focus on anything but Jesus, we risk turning ourselves over to bondage and anchoring ourselves to concerns of this world when God desires to elevate us and take us higher. We're human though, and all desires may not be carnal, yet God says that he is in control of our Times and will give perfect peace to those whose minds are stayed on him Because he trusts him (Isaiah 26:3). Therefore, with what God has shared with me this morning, My hope is to encourage us all to keep PRESSING toward the mark for the prize of the high calling which is in Christ Jesus, and let the Lord work out the rest, for He NEVER fails and knows just what to do. HE ALREADY promised in Jeremiah that he has plans to prosper you and to give you hope and a future, so rest in that! Here's Lashun Pace with "My
Times"  Be blessed

Will you Tell God It's Ok?

Have you ever stood in the need of something from God but realized that despite your needs all you WANT is for God to use you? My soul's prayer for myself as well as for each of you is for God to endow you! My desire is that he allows you to tap into your treasure this day. Perhaps you don't recognize what power lies within you, so my prayer is that the Lord illuminates and rejuvenate the anointing, the power, the impact that has been dormant within you and cause you to be set on fire to change this nation! Keep moving

All You Have To Do Is Call

Hey Family, not sure if this is a THOUGHT FOR THE DAY or merely a wake up call, but God says, "I hear you EVERY TIME you call!" There is NO POWER in your mama's name, your sister's name, your brother's name, your boss's name, nor your friends' name......but there is power without measure in the name of JESUS! I encourage you all to call on Jesus without tiring, without giving up, without doubting, for that is where the true POWER lies- power to literally move mountains;power to do the impossible ;power to close the doors that need to be shut; power to create AND open the doors that need to be open;power to shift your situation,condition, and environment! As I'm writing this, " Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God,the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary,and his understanding no one can fathom", was spoken to my spirit...

Consider this family, how can God answer when he doesn't hear you? How can he hear you if you don't call him? Yes, he knows our thoughts from afar off, but it is by you CALLING on the name of Jesus that sends the SOS for him to.come see about you! I challenge you THIS DAY & the ones to follow, to be not weary, call him without cease, chase him without tire, trust him without doubt, and see what miracle God performs on your behalf!

What Will It Take ...?

Many of us stand waiting for a touch from God. We cry out from the very core of our souls, "Touch me, Jesus!" and that is where I want to challenge your thinking with this question?

What will it take, and how long will you wait before you stretch forth to touch HIM?

There was something beyond "need" That urged her to pursue Christ. There was something that superseded desperation that caused Jesus to feel virtue leaving him. That touch was not just a physical one-it was a touch of faith, of trust, of worship. That is my point today. With our sacrifice of praise;as we worship in spirit and in truth; in our diligent pursuit of God's presence founded on who he is and not just on what we need from him, is how we "touch" God..and oh what a powerful touch it is when he touches back! Unlike with man,You'll never have to worry about being rejected when you reach for The Lord. You'll never be told, "no", "don't" , "stop" , or "not right now" as you seek to be in his presence. How marvelous is that? So I encourage you today family, to not merely wait to be touched by God to change your condition, situation, or environment- press beyond the crowds, the chaos, the circumstance, and touch HIM!

Praise Through Your Storm

Some of you are breaking through, and some of you are breaking out so

Go put on some clothes!! That sounds odd, but what I'm really saying to you is IN SPITE of the circumstances that lurk about, put on your GARMENTS OF PRAISE! Praise God in advance for your break through as well as your breakout for he is bringing you out of the storm and floods or for others,bringing you through your desert!  So before you head out to start your day, I wanted to share this in hopes of encouraging someone to give God some praise through your storm. Here's Kirk Franklin letting you know that the storm is over now... Be Blessed

Image is Everything

I heard someone say that  "IMAGE IS EVERYTHING" so you should govern yourself accordingly. And for a while I would make sure that everything thing that I said or did in life, held up to this image that I would  constantly try to protect and keep up.  However when the camera's were off and the all of the audience has left and I could no longer maintain the standard of the image that I so desperately tried to uphold, it was then when God share this with me and I hope that it encourages you just as it has encouraged me ..

Genesis 1:26-27 Says

"Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them".

Whose Report Will You Believe

There will be GLORY after this! What does that mean? Consider that the greater the adversity-the greater the ADVANCEMENT. Better yet, the greater the burden-the greater the BREAKTHROUGH! Struggle + survival = SUCCESS!


We have to go THROUGH something, to get TO something, but if you hold on, your latter shall be greater than your former. The BEST is yet to come! My desire is for your success. Success in your emotions. Success in operating in your purpose. Success in your finances. Success in your relationships. Success in your walk with God. Success in your mind!



Forget what statistics, history, science, or even your haters say...WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE? As for me, I'm going to believe the report of the Lord and I encourage you to do the same....
