God's hope isn't "cross your fingers"...

God's hope isn't a "cross your fingers" or "hope you can hold on" kind of hope...it's the hope that raised Jesus from the dead & it will lift you up & out of the pit of despair you're in! LMM (Heb 6:19) #liftyouup #hope #makesdeadalive #power #overcome #christianinsightforlife

Get your game face on...

Get your game face on…you've got a job to do! God's got all the details worked out-He did that long ago. He's waiting on you to stop focusing on what you can't do & what you are not & shift your focus to Who He is & what He can do through you! Will you? LMM (Phil 1:6, Eph 2:10) #gamefaceon #Godisforyou #dontfocusonyou #focusonGod #christianinsightforlife

Adversity in life...reveals where you stand

Adversity will put to the test what you profess to believe about God & how you respond...reveals where you stand. Adversity exposes the false idols you've relied on, messes up the predictable routines that have stunted your development & purges pride you didn't even know existed! Welcome this adversity & you will know God's love like never before, be known by Him in a ways you never imagined & open the door for the development of the authentic person He designed you to be!!!

Nobody looks forward to adversity, but it's required to grow in faith while gaining revelation of walking in the freedom God promises. You don't have to make a way for yourself-God's already done it! But you do have to agree with His truth & be willing to leave the comfort of the Christian fortress you've built & follow the unknown path God leads you on. When you accept the revelation that God's for you, has always loved you & wants you to rely completely on a Him for all you need...then you will begin to let go of the anxiety about being overlooked, not being good enough or not having what it takes!

Each time you face adversity, you have an opportunity to lay down who you think you should be & who you are trying to be & become more of who God says you are... His masterpiece, who He created with his own hands to do the good works He planned specifically for you long ago! What does your response to adversity reveal about you?

God's promises to provide in every situation...

God promises to provide for us in every situation...sadly many never experience His provisions because they allow fear to cheat them out of believing He will come through. Don't let fear cheat you out of the future God's promised you!

Some seasons are full of disappointment...

Some seasons are full of disappointment & will deplete your hope unless you're tethered to God's hope...His hope never disappoints & holds on for you when seasons of disappointment overwhelm you! Don't give up-God's hope is bringing you through! LMM (Rom 5:5, Ps 34:19) LMM #disappointment #overwhelmed #hope #Godisforyou #renewyourmind #focus #donotgiveup #christianinsightforlife

Let the worshipers arise...

God's love works all the time, in every situation & with anybody-it never fails! Human love has limits-God's love has none. God's love is full of power & transforms lives-it gives hope to the hopeless, comforts the brokenhearted, breaks chains of bondage & addictions, makes a way when there is no way & makes the dead come alive! Put your hope in God's love & you will never be the same again! Let the worshipers arise! LMM  (1 Cor 13:7, Jn 4:23) #letGodloveyou #loveneverfails #Godisforyou #christianinsightforlife

Life hurts...

Life hurts…none of us escape the trials & heartaches it brings-the best plans don't prevent them & a strong walk with Christ doesn't spare us. But God promises to get us on the other side of hurt & will show us new things when we hope in Him! Life hurts...will you put your hope in God to bring you through it? LMM(Rom 5:3-5, Isa 43:19) #trials #heartaches #lifehurts #Godisyourhope #christianinsightforlife

God's got this...

God's got this! Why are you searching your mind for an answer that only God has & only He can deliver? When you stop the search in your mind, you will be able to receive the comfort, confidence & guidance of the Holy Spirit-He's your Helper & will guide you in all truth.

Listen closely, your mind is about to burst & you're sleep deprived 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! Instead rest in His sufficiency-His strength is perfected in your weakness. Apart from Him you can do nothing-that really means nothing, but with Him you can do all things He strengthens you to do! And that includes empowering you with the desire to believe & trust that He's got everything figured out. Nothing is too big for God to handle, shocks or takes Him by surprise or stumps His thinking...God's got this!

God doesn't need your help to make things happen...He needs your trust so He can work through you. Will you ditch your plans & put your faith in God's power...not human wisdom? God's got this! (Jn 15:5, 16:13, Phil 2:13, 4:13, 2 Cor 12:9, 1Cor 2:5) LMM ‪#‎Godhasthis‬ ‪#‎Godhearsyou‬ ‪#‎ditchyourplans‬ ‪#‎Godneedsyourtrust‬ ‪#‎christianinsightforlife‬

The love of Jesus has washed you of...all the wrong done to you!

Wrong was done to you...you are not wrong. The love of Jesus has washed you of all the wrong done to you, but you keep the wrong alive in your mind when you agree with it. Renew your mind with the truth-you are God's masterpiece, but you won't live like it until you agree with it! You don't have to "feel" God's truth to "believe" it, but as you believe it...you will feel it! LMM (Jn 15:3, Rom 12:2) #trust #renewyourmind #Jesusheals #youareclean #youarenotwrong #christianinsightforlife

God's love is bigger...

God's love is bigger than anything you're up against, but you will never know it unless you let His love show you..."there's nothing to fear-I am with you; do not look around in terror & be dismayed-I am your God; I will strengthen & harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up & retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness & justice!" Will you let God show you just how big His love is? LMM (Isa 41:10) #Godsloveisbig #Godiswithyou #Godwillhelpyou #victory #promise #christianinsightforlife

The Voice of Truth...

God's planned every second of your life to make a difference in this world, but you've got to agree with who God says you are so that you can walk in them. God made you with His own hands-you are His masterpiece whether you believe it or not. There's nothing about you that's shocking to God, He's been with you during every hardship, knows each mistake you've made, is fully aware of your shortcomings & He loves you!!!

God wants you to know how much He loves you so you can rest in His provisions & move forward with the life He planned for you! Fulfilling God's plans require a switch in your focus from what you can or can't do to what God will do through you-your ongoing attempts to correct your negative behaviors both frustrate & lead to failure because apart from the guidance & direction of the Holy Spirit your efforts are short lived! It's the very reason many start the race with such vigor only to drop out exhausted, angry & cynical! They moved forward only partially relying on Holy Spirit-either by not renewing their mind with God's truth & not relying on the Holy Spirit for daily revelation or they believed they should be beyond certain failures or above asking for help throughout the day. None of us can walk in the victory God promises unless we're constantly seeking the truth & revelation of Holy Spirit! If we could save ourself-we wouldn't need a Savior!

If you will begin to renew your mind with God's Word & ask the Holy Spirit for revelation-He will guide you in all truth-it's the truth that sets you free! Your focus will change from trying to be free from things to being free in Christ & Who He is, who you are because of Him & what He wants you to do in this world! Are you open to receiving the truth? If you are, the Voice of Truth will walk you through this life to be the person God made you to be! (Eph 2:10, Jn 16:13-14, Jn 14:26, 1 Cor 2:5) LMM ‪#‎HolySpirit‬ ‪#‎getready‬ ‪#‎renewyourmind‬ ‪#‎revelation‬ ‪#‎goodplans‬ ‪#‎christianinsightforlife‬

Frustration & Fatigue...

Frustration & fatigue overcome us when we allow our thoughts & plans to lead our steps. God's planned & purposed our steps & He gives us the power, ability & sufficiency to walk each one out. Where are you putting your faith...God's power or man's wisdom?

Do you find yourself in the same kind of problems...over & over???

Do you find yourself in the same kind of problems over & over? Don't settle & accept this as just being your life. The good news is you are the common denominator & God gives wisdom generously without finding fault. You can expect God's wisdom to lovingly give you correction & direction.

God asks one thing from us when we seek Him & that is that we believe Him. Not just believe in His existence, but to believe He loves us & will abundantly provide all our needs-more than we can dare imagine! God wants us to boldly approach Him & to confidently expect an answer. But be careful to not reduce His answer to that of mere human wisdom & knowledge by placing it along side of opinions from others or in the mix with your own reasoning. God calls this double-minded thinking & He says to not expect you will receive anything from Him!

If you find yourself being double minded immediately ask God for forgiveness & to help you with your unbelief. He will-remember, He gives wisdom generously without finding fault! You do not have to grope through life wondering how you're going to get by & for goodness sake don't ever say, "this is just how my life goes." God has made good plans for your life that He purposed long ago-don't settle for anything less...ask Him for the wisdom on how to walk them out!

Nothing you're facing is too much or too big for God!

Nothing you're facing is too much or too big for God's love-you may not feel this, but that doesn't negate it. Speak God's truth over & over, "if God's for me, who can be against me?" Doing this teaches your emotions to follow God's truth instead of them directing your thoughts. Despair's motive is to steal your hope until you give up-be prepared for assaults on your mind & counter each one with God's truth! God's for you, His hope holds on for you & He's bringing you through what you're facing today!

Authenticity...you have it!

Authenticity is a by-product of walking in God's truth. Know God's truth & His truth will set you free to be the you He designed you to be. Go for it...God will help you & never give up on you!!

Walking in victory...

Walking in victory requires a quick & consistent response to the lies of the enemy-don't let his lies linger in your mind; they twist & distort God's truth. The enemy challenges your beliefs from a human perspective which can't discern spiritual truths from the Holy Spirit. This leads to desperate thinking which overwhelms the mind then manifests into anxiety, insecurity & ultimately disaster…a man's way seems right but leads to death. Go after each lie-replace it with God's Word; rest in His confidence & He will make a way for you each time. You don't have to know how God will provide...to believe He will provide! Will you let go of self sufficiency & seek God sufficiency to experience all He has for you?
