Jesus Will Be There For You

There is one thing I am certain is true: we all have to live in the reality of the unexpected. None of us truly knows what tomorrow promises, what today may produce, what new challenges or new opportunities might appear.

Do you know anyone who went to the doctor’s office when they were not feeling well, only to learn they have cancer invading their body?Do you know anyone who went to work on a Friday, only to find out that they have been fired from their job?Do you know anyone whose child was killed by the local police?

Life is filled with so many uncertainties. So how do we kick-start our day with assurance and confidence? For those individuals who are followers of Jesus Christ, the answer is by FAITH.

Faith means being sure about the things we hope for and knowing that something is real, even if we do not see it. In other words, when you come across an unforeseen situation, do not panic. Jesus will be there for you. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and have faith that the Holy Spirit will provide the solution, giving you wisdom at the time of your uncertainty.

Today, I want you to be strong and courageous. Walk with confidence because God’s mercies will never end; they are new every morning. When you least expect it, by faith, doors will open, and by faith, your breakthrough will come. Everything you have waited for will be here. Therefore, abide in and abandon yourself in God’s faithfulness!

Do not be afraid, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. He promises to be a lamp for your feet. If you live by faith and not by sight, I promise everything will be all right. If you fear the present, look back and see how God took care of you in the past. In fact,

People may do you wrong, but God will be your defender. Situations may look impossible, but the impossible is very possible with God.

God will never turn His heart away from you! He is closer to you than you think. Always remember, God’s plan is the master plan and you can cast your cares upon Him for He is good and His love is faithful!

7 Affirmations to Decree Over Your Life

 

Who Are You? Let me ask you a better question, who or what are you allowing to determine your identity?

Truth be told, we all have an identity. Many of our identities center on our success, our heritage, our ministries, our gifting or talent, our jobs, our children, our past, and our marital status. We can also find our identities wrapped in some form of trauma, infertility, poverty, and in our failures. However, that is not who we are!

God never wanted you to be defined by somebody else’s thoughts.  It does not matter if it is your parents, your spouse, your girlfriend or boyfriend, your boss, or even your friends. God created you to be you!

If you are going to be everything God created you to be, you have to stop letting people and situations define who you are. You must stop allowing individuals to put you into their mold. You have a decision to make:

You can sit around and worry about what someone else thinks of you, or you can get in the Word of God and know what God says about you!

I want you to remember today that the greatest potter of all time created you. He had visions about you long before you were born. God is pouring Himself into you, shaping every part of your life into a fantastic work of art. Therefore, if you want to be unfazed and undaunted by whatever occurred in your past and the problems of today, you must accept these never-failing truths:

You are a child of God made in His image.You are anointed by God.You are victorious through Jesus Christ.You are the light of the world.You are a member of a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation.You have been given a spirit of power, love, and self-control.You have been made righteous.

I would like you to look in the mirror every day and repeat the following affirmations about your identity in Jesus Christ.

I have been justified, redeemed, and forgiven by the grace of Jesus Christ.I have found boldness, wisdom, and righteousness in Jesus Christ.I have been set free because of God’s love and mercy through my faith in Jesus Christ.I have been created to produce good works for the glory of God.I have been made complete in Jesus Christ.I have been uniquely created by God for a specific purpose.I acknowledge that God is providing everything and everyone required for me to fulfill His purposes in my life.

I believe if you repeat these affirmations every day for the next four weeks, your thought patterns will change, and you will start noticing God opening up opportunities you never knew existed before. The true measure of success in life is becoming precisely who God created you to be.

Now, believe deep in your core that God is for you and not against you. He desires for you to prosper, be in good health and have a healthy soul. Stop discrediting yourself for everything you are not, and start giving yourself credit for everything you are. Go show the world you can do all things through Christ Jesus.
