Let go and look ahead...

Don't let where you've been or what you've done ever be bigger than where you're going or what you will do! "No eye has seen, no ear has heard and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him." ~LMM (1 Cor 2:9) ‪#‎See‬ ‪#‎Hear‬ ‪#‎Imagine‬ ‪#‎Godhasgoodplans‬ ‪#‎LookForward‬ ‪#‎ChristianInsightForLife‬ www.facebook.com/ChristianInsightForLife

An isolated mind breeds destructive thoughts...

A mind kept in isolation is the breeding ground for destructive thought patterns to develop...but what we bring in the light loses its power! ~LMM (Ps 43:3) ‪#‎DoNotIsolate‬ ‪#‎BreedingGround‬ ‪#‎destructive‬ ‪#‎ThoughtPatterns‬ ‪#‎BringItintheLight‬ ‪#‎ChristianInsightForLife‬ www.facebook.com/ChristianInsightForLife

Don't let this wilderness season discourage you…

Don't let this wilderness season discourage you…it seems like you're going nowhere, but you are. Growth is often a slow and painful process, but God's never late and He doesn't waste pain!

How can we endure unless there's something we need to push through? Is there any other way to persevere other than to press back when we're pressed on? And how can we have a confident expectation in God unless we're placed in a season where we know He's undeniably our only Source?

Know this...every end leads to a new beginning, a closed door leads to an open door and an old season ends for a new one to begin! "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." God's making a way in the wilderness! Will you trust Him to bring you through it? ~ LMM (Eph 1:18, Isa 43:19, Jas 1:2-5) #pushback#endure #wilderness #persevere #makingaway #christianinsightforlife

God promises to rescue us…

God promises to rescue us from trouble, not to keep us from going through trouble. Let this truth comfort you the next time you're afraid...God is with you~LMM #donotbeafraid#Godiswithyou #embraceTruth #trustGod #ChristianInsightForLife

We can have courage despite the impossible we face…

We can have courage despite the impossibles we face because the Lord has gone before us & made a way! He's faithful & good all the time-our hope is in Him today! We're not on this earth to just get by or be on hold until we go to Heaven; we're here now in this season for this appointed time to make a difference! Rise up-take hold of the courage the Lord gives you daily to walk out the plans He made for you to shine His light! God's waiting...are you ready? ~ LMM (Col 3:10) #RiseUp #courage #makeadifference #beyou #AreYouReady#christianinsightforlife

Despite how hopeless things look...

God will carry out His plans, despite how hopeless things look...we can always put our hope in Him and trust He's made a way for us! ❤️~LMM #hope #confidence #future #ChristianInsightForLife  www.facebook.com/ChristianInsightForLife pic South Lake Tahoe...thank you @Brittany Stevens ❤️

Believing God when life is falling apart...

Believing God when all is going as planned is a secure feeling...people we love are getting along and following Jesus, the home sold as predicted, raise and bonus money came through, doctors report was healthy, slow sales picked up, hard work and commitment are recognized, etc. But to keep believing God when life is falling apart, is when we develop a resilient character and an unshakeable faith that no devil in hell can steal!

It's believing God despite the smell of death that lingers in a marriage, watching an addiction rob the life of a loved one, to leave your family and friends and move across country to start a new life, when someone you trusted embezzled money from your company, etc. It's where we realize we never had any control to begin with; we just relied a lot on familiar routines, comforts & predictable schedules. It's where we're honest, mad, sad and crying as we lay before God and hold nothing back and ask Him how are we suppose to overcome! It's in these places that God gets us exactly where He wants us...a place of being raw and real with Him. It's in these places where we learn to trust God; we come to know He's for us and that it's only His truth that can set us free!

Embrace these seasons and know the love of God and be known by Him. One more thing-these seasons can't be avoided, but you never fail either...you will grow and develop in believing God or stay there until you do! Today, will you believe God is for you? LMM (Jn 10:10, Eph 2:10, Pr 3:4-5, Jas1:2-5, Phil 1:6) #seasons#believingGod #Godisforyou #overcome #raw #real #letgo  #GoodFuture #ChristianInsightForLife

What to do when we struggle with unbelief...

I believe the promises of God and I'm sure you do too, but I still get overwhelmed, struggle with unbelief and have meltdowns at times. I move through them, not because I'm a spiritual giant, but because Jesus Christ lives in me; where I end is where the power of the Holy Spirit begins. The same power that enabled Jesus to take on hell and win is available to us!

I have to be purposed in seeking God's truth from Him and then be real about my struggles with those who will accept and hold me accountable to His Word...if not the trials of life would overwhelm me. I move forward relying on the bold confidence God avails me; I don't entertain how He will make a way…I've already decided He will because He can't lie! Still at times, doubt pounds on the door of my mind and screams all my flaws and failures while questioning my future. If my value and hope were dependent upon the claims doubt made against me, I wouldn't have the strength to move forward. But thank you Jesus, my hope and future is in God and what He's done; it's not about me and what I can do...Christ's power is perfected in my weaknesses!

Apart from Christ I can do nothing, but with Him I can do all thing He calls me to do. Will you let Jesus Christ do the same for you? ~LMM (1 Tim 6:12, Ps 34:19, Rom 8:11, 2 Cor 12:9, Jn 15:5, Phil 4:23)  #overwhelm #meltdown #believe #Godisforyou #faith #future #hope  #spiritualgiant  #christianinsightforlife


Don't let "always been" steal "can be"...

Don't let how things have "always been" keep you from believing... how things "can be". "For I am about to do something new. See, I’ve already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland." ~LMM (Isa 43:19) #alwaysbeen #canbe #believe #pathway#somethingnew #Godisforyou #christianinsightforlife

God's Word cleanses and heals...

God's Word cleanses & heals-what was taken from you, what you gave away & what you never got. Don't settle for just getting by...God finishes what He starts! Will you let Him?~LMM (Rom 8:28, 31, Phil 1:6) #word#cleanses #heals #commit #dontquit #Godisforyou #ItIsDone  #christianinsightforlife
