God has good plans for you...the only way you're eliminated is if you quit!

God has good plans for you; the only way you're eliminated is if you quit. God never promised easy…He promised victory. Seek Him first & He will bring you through every trial. Put your hope in His power, not your wisdom & understanding. Then you won't be shocked when opposition shows up, discouragement chases you down or when weariness overwhelms you!

God will supply all you need & then some-you can count on Him because He can't lie-He keeps His promises! And He's not a quitter, so...He's not quitting on you! He finishes what He starts-He will finish the good work He started in you long ago until the day Jesus Christ returns! Will you agree with the good plans God has for you? (Jer 29:11, Mt 6:33, Ps 34:19, 1 Cor 2:5, Heb 6:18, Phil 1:6, 4:19) 2/14/14LMM #Godhasgoodplans #donotquit #keepmoving #letGodloveallofyou #christianinsightforlife 

Apart from Christ we accomplish nothing...

Apart from Christ we accomplish nothing. Our tendency is to reference this truth when we're struggling or can't manage a situation, but the truth is we do nothing unless the power of Christ enables us to do it! No matter what you're facing-big or small…you are as strong as you are dependent on Christ! (Jn 15:5, 2 Cor 12:9) LMM #bestrong #dependonChrist #askGod  #christianinsightforlife

Don't deny reality...but don't deny God's truth either!

Don't deny reality...but don't deny God's truth either! God's truth trumps the reality you're going through...unemployment, illness, delayed dreams, failed relationships, grief, insufficient funds, anger, foreclosures, special needs child, addictions, past mistakes, family secrets, guilt, overdrawn bank accounts, broken hearts, rebellious children, false accusations, rejection from a friend, etc.

God's truth says...He will will never leave you, to not be afraid, He holds together all you see & don't see, He has good plans, He's for you & not against you, you're more than a conqueror & He will supply all your needs. Your part is to trust Him & He will even help you do that! You don't have to figure things out-God's already done that. Your part is to believe He has-have faith constantly. Jesus tells us to remain in Him & His Words will remain in us, to ask whatever we wish & it will be done. When God's Word is in us-we desire what He wants for us!

Hold tight to God's truth-don't allow doubt to rob you of His promises. Be still & know He is God-Jesus has made a way & the Holy Spirit will guide you. Keep the Word on your lips, in front of your eyes, speak & listen to it-your hope is in God! The reality you're facing doesn't determine your destiny-God does. Whatever you do-remember...God's truth trumps the reality you're going through! (Mk 11:22, Isa 30:21, Jn 15:7, Ps 46:10) LMM #godstruthtrumpsreality #christianinsightforlife

Are you already feeling agitated...

Are you already feeling agitated today... overwhelmed with the things you need to do? Then you're looking at this day through your strength which invites a spirit of dread & it will beat you up! Right now remind yourself of the promise Jesus offers; "Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give & bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated & disturbed-don't permit yourselves to be fearful, intimidated, cowardly & unsettled." You don't have to dread this day...what will you choose? (Jn 14:27) LMM #spiritofdread #jesuswillhelpyou #seekGod #askGod #Hisstrengthnotyours #christianinsightforlife

Life is unfair...

Life is unfair, people cheat & bad things happen-don't give your sanity away trying to figure out things you can't control. Put your faith in God's power...not human wisdom. Following Jesus doesn't exempt us from trials but He promises to bring us through each one! Don't let the "why" take your eyes off of the "Who" will love, comfort & never leave you! (2 Cor 2:5, Ps 34:19, Jn 16:33) 7/13LMM #lifeisunfair #peoplecheat #badthingshappen #Godwillneverleaveyou #askGod #christianinsightforlife

Some days your feelings work hard to convince you...

Some days your feelings work hard to convince you that you missed God, misunderstood Him or that you're just too much of a mess to be used by Him. Remember what you feel is real, but not always God's truth, so hold tight to His truth...preferring it over what you're feeling. Feelings don't determine your destiny; God does-He's mapped it out. Jesus will lead you on the path-your part is to follow even when you don't understand or can't see a way!

Listen closely, no person or circumstance, talent or gifting, family or geographic location, who or what you know, prosperous or slow economy, low or high interest rates, open or closed seasons, era or time frame, ivy league school or public university, degree or training, intellectual ability or mental disability, connections or lack of; not one of these things stand in the way of God carrying out what He's planned for you... other than you! Every day you choose if you will stand on God's truth & His plans or believe what you're feeling & seeing. It's up to you; you have the freedom to live life your way, but then you're responsible to handle things with your resources.

God planned every second before one passed; no wrong, undermining or poor choice can undo what's He's planned for those who love Him! Some days your feelings work hard...make them work for you & agree with God's truth-He's planned a good future for you! Will you prefer His truth over what you feel? (Jer 29:11, Mt 6:33, 1 Cor 2:5, Pr 14:12, Jn 6:29, Ps 139:16, Rom 8:29) 10/13LMM #prefertruth #askGod #Godislove #believe #christianinsightforlife

Of course you're anxious...

Of course you're anxious…it's what happens when you try to resolve an impossible situation with a human solution! Anxiety is God's design; it's an internal alarm signaling you to turn to God's love for comfort & cover! Will you give God the impossible you're facing?

Setbacks in life...

Setbacks in life... you're back in a place you swore you'd never be again. You're disgusted with yourself & feel like a failure. You worked hard to leave this place, but here you are again! You've climbed out of this pit many times-this time you're done. You feel embarrassed & hopeless-you don't understand what's wrong with you. Shame & condemnation flood you.
Listen closely, God will restore you-embrace these 3 truths in His Word:

1) Apart from Jesus you can do nothing (Jn 15:5); your willpower doesn't work, but His grace does. You can't deliver yourself-but Jesus can. Your willpower motivates you to begin but it's the love of Jesus that sustains you-allowing you to overcome! Submit your will to His power-His strength is your source (2 Cor 12:9). Thank Him for giving you what you need (Phil 4:13). Don't try harder...seek His love more-when you're weak you're strong (2 Cor 12:10).

2) Renew your mind with God's Word…His truth sets you free (Rom 12:2, Jn 8:32). Pull down & throw out every through that opposes God's Word-He never condemns you (Phil 3:9). Agree with who He says you are & let His love lift you up & out of the pit you're in (Isa 40:31). You're purposed to do the works He planned long ago (Eph 2:10)!

3) Seek God first & have faith constantly (Mt 6:33, Mk 11:22). God's truth must be applied to "every" area of your life-what you bring in the light loses its power! Trust the Lord with all your heart-He makes a way for you (Pr 3:5-6). Ask for wisdom; God gives it generously-without finding fault (Jas 1:5). Put your hope in Him ( Heb 6:19)!

I sought the Lord & He answered me-He delivered me from all my fears; those who look to Him are radiant-their faces are never covered with shame (Ps 34:4-5)! 7/13LMM #askGod #godwilldeliveryou #yourwillpowerdoesnotwork #christianinsightforlife

God doesn't expect you to have it all together...

God doesn't expect you to have it all together-He asks you give Him all you have so He can help you..keep it all together! Remain in Him & He will remain in you; God's not giving up on you-don't give up on Him! God's in partnership with you until the end of ages & will complete what He started long ago! Will you give Him all you have so He can? (Jn 15:4-5, Phil 1:6) LMM #askGod #trustHim #letgoletGod #Godwillnotgiveuponyou #keepbelieving #chrsitianinsightforlife

Your willpower doesn't work...

Your willpower doesn't work...Jesus does. You can't deliver yourself, but Jesus can...if you release control. Willpower deceives you into believing if you try hard enough you can make things happen. You can try until you die-only Jesus can make things happen!

Submit your will to Jesus' power & Jesus will power His strength through you! Making you ready for & equal to anything through Him-He infuses inner strength into you; your willpower becomes sufficient in His sufficiency. Don't try to change things on your own one more day-submit your will to Jesus' power & be delivered from what you can't control! It's up to you...will you? (Phil 1:13, Lk 1:37, Phil 4:13) 3/7/13LMM #christianinsightforlife #help #askGod

Wrongs things happened to you, but you are not wrong...

Wrong things happened to you...but you are not wrong. Don't settle for a life of feeling wrong about who you are; instead focus on the truth-you're God's masterpiece! Jesus came so that we could have life & have it to the full-the enemy wants to steal, kill & destroy the fullness Jesus offers. Don't put unrealistic expectations on those you love & want them to make up for the wrong done to you...they can't no matter how hard they try! But the love of Jesus will take all the wrongs imposed on you if you will release them into His hands-the Holy Spirit will guide you in each step. Will you release the wrongs? Where the Spirit of the Lord is-there is freedom! (John 10:10, John 16:33, Eph 2:10, 2 Cor 3:17) LMM #youarenotwrong #loveofJesus #SpiritoftheLord #christianinsightforlife

Letting go of what was...

Grief...letting go of what was. Many don't completely let go of the past because it was familiar-they felt confident & knew the routine. But the past is gone-it's behind us; we can't reach behind us...we can only reach forward to what lies in front of us. Life is a perpetual motion forward-it continues on whether we choose to move with it or not. Don't let life pass you by because you're looking back or trying to resuscitate what God has said is over.

The season is over; it's time to pack it up & say goodbye, but you don't have to pack up all the memories-keep the healthy memories & let go of the ones that hold you back. Both have molded you, but only God's love validates you...so grieve the season not the good memories-they are added to the new season ahead!

"For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland." Don't underestimate the good plans God's promised because you can't imagine how He will carry them out...just keep putting your hope in Him alone & you will see if you don't give up! Will you let go of the past so God can show you the future? (Isa 43:19, Eph 3:20, Ecc 3:1-8, 1 Cor 2:5) LMM #letgo #moveforward #askGod #christianinsightforlife www.facebook.com/christianinsightforlife

Release the memories that call out discouragement...

Release the memories that bind & call out discouragement-the mean & hurtful things said & done to you-the voices you play over & over in your head. Whatever you're holding onto...release & hand it to Jesus; allow Him to heal the broken parts of your heart with His love. Only Jesus can heal your wounds & give back to you what was taken or given away. He will take your hurt, grief & emptiness & give you His love, hope & joy. His truth sets you free & will untangle you from all the lies you've believed about yourself for so many years. God's truth says you're a masterpiece, complete in His love, He's mighty to save, delights in you & will soothe & heal your hurts with His love.

God's love won't feel comfortable at first-you're guarded because you've been hurt so many times. The times you took a risk & trusted someone they ended up hurting you. It's scary to trust God, but until you do you will look to others to complete you. We're to love & accept each other, but only God's love completes us. Trusting God is the greatest risk I've ever taken & His love completely healed & changed my life…it will yours too! It's your decision, God will never force you like others have.

Lift your head & look up-God is smiling; He desires for you to know how much He loves you. God's love isn't given to you according to what you've done-good or bad; He loves you because it's what He does...God is love! If you receive His love, the Holy Spirit will overflow you with His hope-it's a joy & peace that will transform & heal your wounded spirit. The more you receive God's love, renew your mind with His Word & take the risk of letting others know you...the more your mind, heart & spirit will be lined up with His truth. It's this truth that sets you free & gives you the confidence to be who He says you are...His masterpiece! Will you let God love you today? (1 Jn 4:7-21, Isa 61:1-11, Col 2:10, Zeph 3:17, Eph 2:10, 1 Jn 4:8, Rom 15:13, Rom 12:2) 2/22/14LMM #hope #joy #love #authentic #masterpiece #beyou #trustGod #Godisforyou #askGod #christianinsightforlife www.facebook.com/christianinsightforlife

Jesus will escort you into the throne room of our Father...

Jesus will escort you into the throne room of our Father anytime day or night-you don't need an appointment or ever have to wait. Prayer doesn't have to be long or loud-rehearsed or repeated; prayer pours out words from inside your heart...at times inaudible groanings you don't even understand. You can pray anytime, anywhere & anyplace. Prayer is an open door to our Father-it's a privilege...don't turn your back on it.

Prayer is where you receive our Father's love-He tells you that you matter, you're chosen & that He has good plans for you! It's where He heals the broken parts of your heart-He whispers that His love heal all your hurts & give hope for the future. He promises to restore & give back more than was ever taken from you if you will put your trust in Him. Prayer is a time to grieve & let go-verbalizing fears of the unknown...it's a time to weep, grieve & lay down your plans for the those of the Father.

Prayer is a time our Father assures you that you've got what it takes because He's put everything you need in you-it's where you're certain He hears, understands & cares; where He nurtures, encourages & validates you. Prayer is your safe retreat where our Father comforts & guides you, reminding you that you're never alone because He's with you always! Prayer is a privilege-will you let Jesus escort you to the throne room of our Father?

Blame wants you to take matters into your own hands...

Blame wants you take matters into your own hands, but you can't undo the wrongs done to you-only Jesus can! Your feelings are valid-blame reminds you of the events with accuracy, but blame has no case...against the healing power of Christ! Jesus heals broken hearts & saves those crushed in spirit-He restores & redeems what was lost, stolen, given away or never received! Will you let Jesus heal your heart & undo the wrongs done to you?

Trusting God...

Trusting God isn't understanding how He will provide...it's believing He will no matter how impossible, done or dead a situation is! "Did I not tell you & promise you that if you would believe & rely on Me, you would see the glory of God?" Don't allow what you can't see to rob you of God's glory...will you rest in Him today?

The issues that hold you back...

The issues you continue to reason away with theories and/or ignore keep you from moving forward in the peace, confidence & destiny promised to you long ago. You are dissatisfied, borderline angry & not where you want to be-don't waste one more day with the protest that you've done all that God's asked of you. This isn't about what you're doing...it's about what you're believing!

Listen closely, God's not going to give up on you-don't give up in Him! Ask Him to search your heart & forgive hidden offenses; release your pride & let go of denial...the Holy Spirit will help you face the truth & expose the issues that are holding you back! You can't correct yourself-only the Holy Spirit can do it through you with your cooperation. Denying His help keeps your mind in constant turmoil.

Expect to be uncomfortable-the truth hurts but it also sets you free! God gives wisdom generously without finding fault. Will you ditch your plans & listen to the wisdom God desires to give you?

Trials that try to derail...are the very same ones that develop you!

The trials that try to derail you are the very same ones that develop you...hold on baby! God's got this, but if you don't trust Him you will give your feelings the power to convince you that He doesn't! Trusting God releases a supernatural power that's at work in you to believe, overcome & move forward in otherwise humanly impossible situations. Today will you trust God's Word more than what you're feeling so He can work through you to carry out the plans He made for you long ago?

Don't grieve what's gone or dread what's ahead...

Don't grieve what's gone or dread what's ahead; clinging to what becomes dust in your hands-blowing away into nothingness. Anything of kingdom value remains unshakable; the years never end, moving forward into the future of forever-our eternal home. For this day you have a call, a job; you're to steward the love of Jesus that's alive in you to make a difference in this world-this kingdom. Don't delay or be distracted by what doesn't matter one more day! Stay focused, keep moving, don't give up & God will make your righteousness shine like the dawn & the justice of your cause like the noon day sun!

Relief doesn't come when the burden changes...it comes when your perspective changes!

Relief doesn't come when the burden changes...it comes when your perspective changes. When you release the burden you're facing to Jesus, you move it off of you & into His hands. This allows you to experience the peace He promises because you're no longer trying to manage an impossible situation; your hope is no longer tethered to the burden which causes you to feel hopeless, but now you're tethered to Jesus...Who never fails you! Will you change your perspective today & experience the peace Jesus promises you? (Jn 16:33, Heb 6:19) LMM #changeyourperspective #hopeinJesus #releasetheburdentoJesus #christianinsightforlife

You can't change or save yourself-if you could...you wouldn't need a Savior!

If you believe your value in life depends on what you can or can't accomplish then you will feel accepted when you succeed & rejected when you fail. This belief leads to misery & places you in a perpetual agitated state because you're not defined by what you do or don't do...you're defined by "Who" lives in you & "what" He did for you!

You can't save or change yourself...if you could you wouldn't need a Savior! "Are you so foolish, senseless & silly? Having begun [your new life spiritually] with the Holy Spirit...are you now reaching perfection by depending on your ability? Then does He Who supplies you with His marvelous Holy Spirit & works powerfully & miraculously among you do so on...the grounds of "your doing" or is your believing in, adhering to, trusting in & relying on the message that you heard by faith?"

God promises victory to every Christian-no person is exempt & there's no unique situation that His love can't overcome. God only ask one thing of you & that is to believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. There's nothing we can do to earn or pay back what Jesus did for us other than to humbly receive it with unqualified assurance...this removes us from the equation of salvation & completely gives full credit to Jesus Christ our Savior & Lord! We can't earn the love Christ freely gives, nor can we achieve or take credit for His death on the cross or the power that rose Him from the dead; He freely gave us all that is His the day we gave our life to Him!

When we embrace true humility, take the focus off of us & put it on Christ then we can move forward in His confidence. His Spirit living in us is our identity; we don't achieve an identity in Christ...it is given to us! Will you stop focusing on what you can or can't do & freely accept all of God's love so that you can walk in the freedom He promises you? (Gal 3:2, 5, 2 Cor 5:17, Jn 6:28-29, 8:31-32) LMM #Godislove #weneedaSavior #faith #Salvationisfree #humility #christianinsightforlife www.facebook.com/christianinsightforlife

How you act while in a place you don't want to be determines how long you need to be there-God's not punishing you…He's preparing you! Your character & faith are going through endurance runs to develop the spiritual tenacity needed for the next season God's calling you to! Keep your eyes straight ahead, focus & continue to move forward-doing what's right. Always be more concerned with obeying Christ more than pleasing others…a sweet victory awaits you & it's well worth the concentrated investment you're making now!

Are you feeling discouraged & overwhelmed?

If you're feeling discouraged or overwhelmed let this truth give you hope...hardships & heartaches are inevitable in life-no person is exempt, but every person is promised a way out!

The Lord’s angel camps around His loyal followers & delivers them. He pays attention to the godly & hears their cry for help-He saves them from all their troubles. He's near to the brokenhearted & delivers those who are discouraged-the godly face many dangers, but the Lord saves them from each one!

Save yourself much grief-accept that you will not know the "why" to many situations but you can be comforted by "Who" is with you. Renew your mind with the Word-it's your light when darkness surrounds you & put your hope in God's power, not man's wisdom! The Lord promises to comfort you during hardships & heartaches...will you let Him? (Rom 12:2, Ps 34:7,15-19, 1 Cor 2:5) LMM #hope #Godisyoursource #heartache #hardships #christianinsightforlife

God's truth promises to set you free... consistency is the key! Be purposed in seeking it, putting your eyes on it, saying it aloud & applying it to "every" area of your life. Talk about, listen & sing it...surround yourself with others who really believe & live it & who will hold you accountable to it! Then you will know the truth & the truth will set you free!

Why are you searching your mind for an answer that only God has...

Why are you searching your mind for an answer that only God has? Listen closely, your mind is about to burst because you're trying to fix an impossible situation with a human solution-only God's provisions fix impossible situations! Stop trying to do God's job…you will lose your mind!

Rest in God's sufficiency-not your ability. Apart from Him you can do nothing-that means nothing; grasp this & seek Him for your answer. God doesn't need your help...He needs your heart! When you lay your all before Him & renew your mind with His truth then He can work through you to make things happen-until then you're relying on human wisdom.

Save yourself grief & time-ditch your plans & ideas for His! Will you put your faith in God's power instead of human wisdom so His provisions can be revealed?

Use what He gives you & you'll be given more-don't use what you have & even what you have will be taken away. Preferring your thoughts over God's truth forfeits the freedom & victory promised to you...don't forfeit your future-accept & apply His truth & walk out the destiny He planned for you long ago!

Judy Fuller King has been involved with Brazil & sowing seed for over 16 years, but God's hand regarding my involvement goes back to May 2013 when Judy & I connected after she attended the Bloom Conference in Amarillo where I spoke. She didn't plan on attending but her friend, Cheryl Chavers Martin had an extra ticket for her. After the conference we exchanged some emails sharing our hearts related to empowering women in the body of Christ.

On 2/1/14, I was messaged by social media friends from Portugal, Tiago & Manuela Pinheiro, who follow my posts on G+. Tiago explained God had clearly put on Manuel's heart in prayer that morning to translate the Christian Insight for Life posts at no charge. I was humbled & moved by such a generous offer! Rod & I prayed & believed they should translate the devotional instead- we shared this with them & after prayer they agreed too.

Judy contacted me on 2/15/14 asking if I would be interested in going to Brazil & helping her with the International Women's Conference in July. Of course I was honored, but then speechless because Brazil speaks Portuguese!!! One touch of God's hand...He has no barriers!

Tiago & Manuela Pinheiro work full time in ministry & Tiago practices law-they also have a family, but their daily demands didn't keep them from being obedient to God's request. They worked tirelessly translating the devotional in order to meet the deadlines for Rod, my husband to redo the book layout & have it ready for Portuguese print in time for the conference!

God had put on my heart to take 100 devotionals to sow into Brazil-not knowing this, the next day my dear friend, Marcy Tow, texted me & said that she & her Huband Scott wanted to sow seeds into Brazil by purchasing 100 of the Portuguese Christian Insight for Life devotionals...only God!

I will continue to tell about the power of God in the Brazil trip because I'm sure this is only part of the story. One thing for sure...obedience leads to miracles! And when God makes a request, He doesn't expect us to fulfill it...He expects us to rely on Him to carry it out!
