God has already made the ultimate sacrifice by sending His Son Jesus to die for us and bear the curse for us. Jesus said “it is finished! Jesus finished it, why are we operating under the curse? It is time as believers to be doers of the word. Believe and act like it is already done. Believe the word of God like we do the news. God’s news is good news because He is good.

Galatians 3:13 Easy Read Version: ¹³ The law says we are under a curse for not always obeying it. But Christ took away that curse. He changed places with us and put himself under that curse. The Scriptures say, “Anyone who is hung on a tree^[f] is under a curse.”^[g] 14 Because of what Jesus Christ did, the blessing God promised to Abraham was given to all people. Christ died so that by believing in him we could have the Spirit that God promised.

We bring heaven to earth by obeying God’s word. Deuteronomy 28:1-2 Amplified: 28 “Now it shall be, if you diligently listen to and obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all of His commandments which I am commanding you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. ² All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you pay attention to the voice of the Lord your God.

Another way to bring heaven to earth is by speaking the word of God. Romans 4:16-18 CEB Version: ¹⁶ That’s why the inheritance comes through faith, so that it will be on the basis of God’s grace. In that way, the promise is secure for all of Abraham’s descendants, not just for those who are related by Law but also for those who are related by the faith of Abraham, who is the father of all of us. ¹⁷ As it is written: I have appointed you to be the father of many nations.^[c] So Abraham is our father in the eyes of God in whom he had faith, the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that don’t exist into existence. ¹⁸ When it was beyond hope, he had faith in the hope that he would become the father of many nations, in keeping with the promise God spoke to him: That’s how many descendants you will have

We praise God to bring heaven to earth. Romans 4:18-22 CEB Version: ¹⁹ Without losing faith, Abraham, who was nearly 100 years old, took into account his own body, which was as good as dead, and Sarah’s womb, which was dead. ²⁰ He didn’t hesitate with a lack of faith in God’s promise, but he grew strong in faith and gave glory to God. ²¹ He was fully convinced that God was able to do what he promised. ²² Therefore, it was credited to him as righteousness.

We bring heaven to earth by prayer. Philippians 4:6-7: ⁶ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Believe that you receive to bring heaven to earth. Mark 11:24 NIV:  ²⁴ Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Most importantly, love brings heaven to earth. Galatians 5:6: Faith works by love. Matthew 11:25: ²⁵ And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

Why live under the curse, when you can experience heaven on earth?

Prayer: God your kingdom come; your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I repent for operating under the curse when Jesus died and broke the curse. I obey your word. I speak your word. I praise and worship you in spirit and in truth. I pray without ceasing. I believe and receive your word and it is done. I stay in love so my faith can work. In Jesus name! Amen.

Monday is Memorial Day, where we remember those who served and gave their lives for our freedom. God sent his son Jesus to pay our sin debt and we have freedom through Christ over sin, the curse, and damnation. We can easily forget what God has done by the way we live and act. It is good to remind ourselves daily of what God has done to overcome our sin nature.

Communion is a reminder and for us to examine ourselves as believers as a memorial of what Jesus did on the cross.

Luke 22:17-19: ¹⁷ After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. ¹⁸ For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”¹⁹ And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”

I Corinthian 11:27-32 Amplified Version: ²⁷ So then whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in a way that is unworthy [of Him] will be guilty of [profaning and sinning against] the body and blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But a person must [prayerfully] examine himself [and his relationship to Christ], and only when he has done so should he eat of the bread and drink of the cup. ²⁹ For anyone who eats and drinks [without solemn reverence and heartfelt gratitude for the sacrifice of Christ], eats and drinks a judgment on himself if he does not ^[j]recognize the body [of Christ]. ³⁰ That [careless and unworthy participation] is the reason why many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep [in death]. ³¹ But if we evaluated and judged ourselves honestly [recognizing our shortcomings and correcting our behavior], we would not be judged. ³² But when we [fall short and] are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined [by undergoing His correction] so that we will not be condemned [to eternal punishment] along with the world.

Another way to remember what Jesus done by not forgetting Him when we are blessed.

Deuteronomy 8:11-14 Amplified Version: ¹¹ “Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by failing to keep His commandments and His judgments (precepts) and His statutes which I am commanding you today; ¹² otherwise, when you have eaten and are satisfied, and have built good houses and lived in them, ¹³ and when your herds and flocks multiply, and your silver and gold multiply, and all that you have increases, ¹⁴ then your heart will become lifted up [by self-conceit and arrogance] and you will forget the Lord your God who brought you from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 

We can remember God even through our challenges. God had to correct me before I said something negative out of my mouth. God used my hair stylist to tell me don’t say that before I let it slip out my mouth. It is easy to speak the problem rather than the promise. Speaking the promise is remembering what Jesus did on the cross. It is finished; the curse is diminished! All we have to do is receive it and walk in it by faith. I repented to God. We can easily forget who we are in God when trials come. Jesus told us in this life we will have tribulations but to be of good cheer for he has overcomed the world.

Matthew 5:3-12 Message Version: ³ “You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.⁴ “You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.⁵ “You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought.⁶ “You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat.⁷ “You’re blessed when you care. At the moment of being ‘care-full,’ you find yourselves cared for.⁸ “You’re blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.⁹ “You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.¹⁰ “You’re blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God’s kingdom.^11-12 “Not only that—count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad when that happens—give a cheer, even!—for though they don’t like it, I do! And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble.

Jesus paid your sin debt. Do not forget!

Prayer: God, I praise you for giving up your son Jesus’ life so that I can have eternal life. I repent for forgetting what you’ve done for me. When I am at my highest or lowest moment, I do not forget you. Nothing can separate me from the love of God. I offer praise and live my life as a memorial of what Jesus done for me. In Jesus name! Amen.

In the natural, if we eat things or put things in our body that is harmful, it shows up on the outside in a negative way. Eating properly, and exercising shows positive results. However, our inner man is more important. When we deal with the inner man it will show on the outside. Are we feeding our spiritual man or are we feeding our flesh and the evil desires that comes along with it. Are we spending time in the word, worshipping God, and hearing the word of God to strengthen our faith to act? Or are we spending too much time on social media, phone, and entertainment? God gives us all things to richly enjoy as long as it is not pulling us away from the will and purpose he has for our lives. It can even be doing something good , but if it is pulling us away from fellowshipping with God, we are out of balance. We all have a purpose and vision, however, we need to make sure we make time to spend with God.

Galatians 6:8 Amplified Version: For the one who sows to his flesh [his sinful capacity, his worldliness, his disgraceful impulses] will reap from the flesh ruin and destruction, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Romans 12:2 Amplified Version ² And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be ^[a]transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].

Evil can rub off on us quicker than doing what is good. We have to renew the mind daily. Ask God to put a check in your spirit to discern what is acceptable. God has did it to me plenty of times. I wanted to say something that was correct but the person was not receptive to it. God put a check in my spirit to keep quiet and pray for that person eyes to come open. The person eyes were open to the truth after praying for that person.

Let John 17 be our prayer for the believers, and everyone proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ. We are in the world not of the world. What is the world? It is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.

John 17:14-20 Easy Read Version: ¹³ “I am coming to you now. But I pray these things while I am still in the world. I say all this so that these followers can have the true happiness that I have. I want them to be completely happy. ¹⁴ I have given them your teaching. And the world has hated them, because they don’t belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to the world.¹⁵ “I am not asking you to take them out of the world. But I am asking that you keep them safe from the Evil One. ¹⁶ They don’t belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to the world. ¹⁷ Make them ready for your service through your truth. Your teaching is truth. ¹⁸ I have sent them into the world, just as you sent me into the world. ¹⁹ I am making myself completely ready to serve you. I do this for them, so that they also might be fully qualified for your service.²⁰ “I pray not only for these followers but also for those who will believe in me because of their teaching. ²¹ Father, I pray that all who believe in me can be one. You are in me and I am in you. I pray that they can also be one in us. Then the world will believe that you sent me. 

Let us pray for each other and encourage each other into good works. Be led by the spirit when correcting someone and do it in love considering ourselves that we don’t fall into the same temptation. 1 Corinthians 15:33 Amplified ³³ Do not be deceived: Bad company corrupts good morals.” We are in the world not of it. Our lifestyle will speak more volumes than what we can ever tell a person. Loving kindness we draw people into the kingdom of God. Let us let our light shine that people can see our good works and glorify our Heavenly Father.

You are what you eat. It determines victory or defeat!

Prayer: God I thank you for making me into your image and likeness. I repent for allowing the lure of the world which is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and pride life keep me from showing others who you really are. I am transformed by renewing my mind daily to the word of God. I let God’s light shine through me so that people can see your good works and glorify you. I claim the victory in Jesus name! Amen.

I think of moms as nurturing, giving, loving unconditionally, and protectors who make many sacrifices for their children. However, the most impactful mother is a godly mother. What sticks with us the most is the values, and wisdom, demonstrating the character of Jesus. It is the best kind of love a mother could give. My mom love Proverbs 31, which demonstrates the character of a godly mother.

King Lemuel’s mother gave her son godly wisdom like godly mothers do because they want the best for their children. God is the same way. He wants the best for us; God sent His Son Jesus.

Proverbs 1:9-10 Easy Read Version: These are the wise sayings that King Lemuel’s mother taught him:² I prayed for a son, and you are the son I gave birth to. ³ Don’t waste your strength on women. Women destroy kings, so don’t waste yourself on them. ⁴ Lemuel, it is not wise for kings to drink wine. It is not wise for rulers to want beer. ⁵ They may drink too much and forget what the law says. Then they might take away the rights of the poor. ⁶ Give beer to people without hope. Give wine to those who are in trouble. ⁷ Let them drink to forget their troubles. Let them forget they are poor.⁸ Speak up for people who cannot speak for themselves. Help people who are in trouble. ⁹ Stand up for what you know is right, and judge all people fairly. Protect the rights of the poor and those who need help.

A godly virtuous mother starts early to take care of the home. Proverbs 31:15 : ⁵ She wakes up early in the morning,
    cooks food for her family, and gives the servants their share.

A godly mother speaks truth and wisdom and does it in love. Proverbs 31:26 Amplified: She opens her mouth in [skillful and godly] wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue [giving counsel and instruction].

A godly mother is not idle. Proverbs 31: 27 Amplified: She looks well to how things go in her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.

A godly mother is praised and people notice them for their godly character, not just what’s on the outside. Proverbs 31:28-31:²⁸ Her children rise up and call her blessed (happy, prosperous, to be admired);Her husband also, and he praises her, saying,²⁹ “Many daughters have done nobly, and well [with the strength of character that is steadfast in goodness],^[f]But you excel them all.”³⁰ Charm and grace are deceptive, and [superficial] beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the Lord [reverently worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect], she shall be praised.³¹ Give her of the product of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates [of the city].

A loving, godly mom is as good as they come!

Prayer: God, thank you for showing me how to be a godly mom. I speak the truth with love and kindness. I am about kingdom business . I let your work in me speak for me that many see the God in me. I let my inner beauty show more than my outer beauty because it is eternal. I grow higher in my walk with you God. In Jesus name! Amen!

Naturally, in order for us to live, we must feed ourselves food to survive. Some foods are harder to digest and we have to eat a small amount. We sometimes eat half of the food and then come back later to finish it. It is the same with our spirit; we must feed on the word of God to survive spiritually. Sometimes when we read a chapter or scripture. we have to keep reading it until we get revelation of it. There are times you may get instant revelation and other times you have to keep reading it.

Psalm 119:30: The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.

John 8:31-32: If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;³² And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Joshua 1:8: . ⁸ Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful

It is easy to believe we know a scripture until challenges come to test our faith. God has me this week meditating on one passage of scripture. I am feeding on it. As I keep reading, different revelations unfold. I am sticking with the process. It is easy to pile our plate full by reading a lot of scriptures and listening to a lot of teaching. Teaching without revelation and manifestation will keep us going in circles. Maybe your plate is too full and you need to start out small . It is okay.

Don’t just read, Feed!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your word you left as a manual for my life. I feed on your word until it becomes reality in my life. I repent for getting spiritually fat, and going nowhere. It is not healthy. I continue in the word, I know the truth, and the truth sets me free from anything that has me bound. In Jesus name! Amen!

My aunt Mary gave her testimony to me over the phone and then God gave her the phrase. We started praising God . She said she misplaced her phone. She did not concern herself looking for the phone. She went to the bathroom which is her prayer room and God told her where the phone was. It is good to have people to talk to because in a multitude of Godly counsel there is safety. However, we should go to God first before calling anyone. God gives wisdom to anyone who asks without condemnation. Are you having challenges in your life? Instead of calling someone or scrolling the phone on social media , take time with God first. If we draw near to God, he will draw near to us.

Matthew 6:31-34 Living Translation: ^31-32 “So don’t worry at all about having enough food and clothing. Why be like the heathen? For they take pride in all these things and are deeply concerned about them. But your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well that you need them, ³³ and he will give them to you if you give him first place in your life and live as he wants you to.³⁴ “So don’t be anxious about tomorrow. God will take care of your tomorrow too. Live one day at a time.

Early morning is the best time to seek God, because it is quiet. Jesus would talk to God in the morning, in the cool of the day. In the book I read “Several Keys To Power Praying”, the author said before giving your request ask “God, what is on your heart?” Each time I have done this God speaks to me. We can also begin with the word of God. John 1:1 says in the beginning was the word and the word was with God, the word was God which became flesh. God speaks mainly through His word. Most importantly, being a doer of God’s word. Faith without works is dead. I would speak to my aunt with scriptures and she would tell me “All you have to do is step.” She was telling me to put feet to faith. Signs follows those that believe (Matthew 16:17-18),

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We have to feed our faith daily. People can intercede for you when you are feeling weak. However, if we wait on the Lord, he will renew our strength. The great shepherd leads, guides, protects, comfort, and keep us through every season. If you are not saved, please give your life to Christ so you can clearly hear the voice of God. If there is any unforgiveness before you pray, forgive (Mark 11:25) so we can hear from God.

Isaiah 40:30-31 King James: ³⁰ Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:³¹ But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Instead of going to the phone, go to the throne!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for being all knowing. I repent for not putting you first and running to people and things instead of running to you first. I come to your throne of grace to find help in time of need. I draw near to you. I forgive all those who have hurt me. I give you the praise glory and honor in Jesus name. Amen!

The phrase came as I was studying and listening to the word of God. God is merciful, loving, and gives grace for us to live victorious as believers over sin. It is not for us to keep sinning and thinking there will be no consequences. We have to repent when we do wrong. Repent means to turn around and began doing what the word of God says. We do not want to stay in sin as believers. The longer we stay in sin the harder it is to get free.

Romans 6:15-19 Easy Read Version: ¹⁵ So what should we do? Should we sin because we are under grace and not under law? Certainly not! ¹⁶ Surely you know that you become the slaves of whatever you give yourselves to. Anything or anyone you follow will be your master. You can follow sin, or you can obey God. Following sin brings spiritual death, but obeying God makes you right with him. ¹⁷ In the past you were slaves to sin—sin controlled you. But thank God, you fully obeyed what you were taught. ¹⁸ You were made free from sin, and now you are slaves to what is right. ¹⁹ I use this example from everyday life because you need help in understanding spiritual truths. In the past you offered the parts of your body to be slaves to your immoral and sinful thoughts. The result was that you lived only for sin. In the same way, you must now offer yourselves to be slaves to what is right. Then you will live only for God.

It is good to ask God to put a check in your spirit when something is not in line with the word of God. It helps you to examine yourself daily. We are not perfect, but we should strive to live for God who is perfect. We have heard the saying “Follow your heart.” However, following your heart can lead you down the wrong path.

Jeremiah 17:9-10 Living Translation: ⁹ The heart is the most deceitful thing there is and desperately wicked. No one can really know how bad it is! ¹⁰ Only the Lord knows! He searches all hearts and examines deepest motives so he can give to each person his right reward, according to his deeds—how he has lived.

Psalm 139:23-24 NIV: 23 Search me, God, and know my heart;  test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting

The world is alluring and evil can rub off on you quicker than good. How can we as believers overcome sin and live a victorious life? It comes through renewing your mind to the word of God.

Romans 12:2: Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Psalm 1:1-6 Amplified Version:¹ Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.² But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.³ And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].⁴ Not so the wicked [those disobedient and living without God are not so]. But they are like the chaff [worthless, dead, without substance] which the wind drives away.⁵ Therefore the wicked [those disobedient and living without God] shall not stand [justified] in the judgment, nor ^[b]sinners in the congregation of the righteous [those who are upright and in right standing with God].⁶ For the Lord knows and is fully acquainted with the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly [those living outside God’s will] shall perish (end in ruin and come to nought).

Repent when you do wrong and ask God to help you. He is faithful and just to forgive you and clean you up from all sin. God gives us time so we can repent so we won’t spend eternity in hell. Some may not believe there is a hell. You don’t want to take that risk with your life. God is not willing that any should perish but that everyone comes to repentance. Give your life to Jesus before it is too late. Read Romans 10:9-10 to accept Jesus into your life. Once God delivers you do not go back to sin because it will be worse. It can be harder to get out of it and it can cause not only spiritual death but physical death.

John 5:13-14 : ¹³ The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there.¹⁴ Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” 

Matthew 12:43-45: ⁴³ “When an evil spirit comes out of a person, it travels through dry places looking for a place to rest, but it finds none. ⁴⁴ So it says, ‘I will go back to the home I left.’ When it comes back, it finds that home still empty. It is all neat and clean. ⁴⁵ Then the evil spirit goes out and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself. They all go and live there, and that person has even more trouble than before. It is the same way with the evil people who live today.”

Romans 6:23 Amplified Version:  ²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God [that is, His remarkable, overwhelming gift of grace to believers] is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord

I went to church as a child all my life but Jesus was not really in my heart. I did the religious things. I sang in the choir and served as an usher. However, my heart was far from God. I was very judgmental because I was condemned myself. At 18 years of age, I cried out to God and repented. I told God I am not happy with my life. God transformed me as I begin reading His word and spending time in praise /worship. I have never been the same since. I have so much joy. Living a life for God is an adventurous journey full of twists and turns. Even going through trials, I am full of joy and secure in knowing that God will never leave me or forsake me. God always causes me to triumph through Him.

Do not misplace the position of God’s grace!

Prayer: God, thank you for your new mercies every morning. God, I repent for taking you for granted and holding on to sin. God, help me through your word to live a victorious life. God keep me from evil. I guard my heart because out of it comes the issues of life. God, where I am weak you are strong. I rely on your strength not my strength to give me the grace to overcome sin. God search my heart because it is deceitful. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me to the way everlasting. Thanks be to God who always causes me to triumph through Him. In Jesus name! Amen!

We all heard the saying “I am only one person..” In the natural, one person is not able to do everything or be everywhere. However, God can use one person to influence many people. When people see the power of God operating in us as believers through love it draws others in. As believers, we lead by example and others will follow. The greatest example is Jesus. He came down as a human, humbled himself by doing the will of His Father, and died on the cross for our sins. We now have redemption. Jesus performed miracles and walked in the power of God while on earth. God’s love for us and through his Son Jesus’ obedience, now we have authority over the devil through receiving salvation. Those who are not saved, receive Him now. Read Romans 10-9-10 for salvation.

Joshua 23:10 New King James Version: One man of you shall chase a thousand, for the LORD your God is He who fights for you, as He promised you.

Joshua, with instruction from God, led his people to victory in many battles. However, when he did not seek the Lord, he lost the battle. Proverbs 3:5-6 Amplified Version:⁵ Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.⁶ In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him,
And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].

God used Gideon in Judges 6. Gideon was fearful and didn’t think much about himself, but God used him to win the battle for his people. He went in the strength he had, obeyed God, and won the battle. Please read Judges Chapter 6-7. It took one person and the others followed his lead to win the battle.

David in 1 Samuel 17 defeated Goliath when the others were in fear. David went in the strength of God, spoke what he would do to Goliath, gave glory to God, and reminded himself of how God helped him with past victories. God always causes us to triumph through him. His courage and faith in God helped defeat Goliath and the Philistines.

1 Samuel 14:6 NIV: the Lord will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving, whether by many or by few.

God can use one to get the job done!

Prayer: God, thank you for sending your Son to redeem us. God, I go in your strength and acknowledge you in all my ways and you direct my path. God, you can deliver by many or by few. God, you always causes me to triumph through you. In Jesus name! Amen.

We as believers are the light of the world. Light shines in darkness; it does not dim out. The time is now to truly trust God and walk by faith, not by what we see. Things may seem dark, dim, dead, and hopeless in your life. However, as believers in Jesus Christ we have Christ in us, the hope of glory.

First, there is no other way, We must believe in Jesus, and rely on Him, and ask God to show us the way. He is the only way to a victorious life here on earth.

John 14:1-6 Amplified Version: Do not let your heart be troubled (afraid, cowardly). Believe [confidently] in God and trust in Him, [have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and] believe also in Me. ² In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and I will take you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also. ⁴ And [to the place] where I am going, you know the way.” ⁵ Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; so how can we know the way?” ⁶ Jesus said to him, “^[a]I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

Second, when we believe in Jesus and obey what he tells us to do, we can do greater works than He did .The greatest commandment is love because faith works by love.

John 14: 12-15: Amplified Version: ¹² I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior] will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach], because I am going to the Father. ¹³ And I will do whatever you ask in My name , as My representative], this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified and celebrated in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask Me anything in My name [as My representative], I will do it.¹⁵ “If you [really] love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments.

Finally, we must testify about the goodness of God in our lives . We must speak the word of God, not the circumstance, that is also how we testify and overcome the challenges here on earth. Faith is what we do not see. If we see it, that is not faith. We bring glory to God when we testify of who He is, what He has done for us and His finished work. All we have to do is receive what He has already done through faith.

Revelation 12:11-12 Amplified Version: “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom (dominion, reign) of our God, and the authority of His Christ have come; for the accuser of our [believing] brothers and sisters has been thrown down [at last], he who accuses them and keeps bringing charges [of sinful behavior] against them before our God day and night. ¹¹ And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death. ¹² Therefore rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them [in the presence of God]. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you in great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time [remaining]!”

Don’t let the devil put you under condemnation. Repent and get back on the right track because there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ. Faith in Jesus’ Blood justifies us. A righteous man falls seven times and gets back up. Don’t let the devil keep you in your sin. Get up and keep walking with God through faith; it is how we overcome and walk in the boldness and power of God. Those who are not saved, give your life to Jesus by confessing you are sinner in need of a Savior, believe in your heart in Jesus resurrection, and receive Him for your salvation. Begin walking by faith in the truth of God’s word.

Now is the hour, to walk in Jesus resurrected power!

Prayer: God, I thank you for loving me enough by sacrificing your only Son Jesus for my redemption to live a victorious life. I repent for not believing in you, not testifying of your goodness, and living in condemnation because of my sins. I repent and get back in Christ. I now have no condemnation because I am back in Christ. I am obedient to your word. I walk in love like God, who loved me enough to make the ultimate sacrifice. I lay down my will to God’s will. Because I believe in Jesus and obey your word I do greater works than Jesus did to glorify God. I walk in Jesus resurrection power through faith because the just lives by faith. In Jesus name Amen!
