Noah didn’t need a cloud in the sky because he had a word in his spirit. He let that word become more powerful than what he could see. He made a daily decision, “I’m going to believe what God said.” Every morning, say, “Father, thank You that what You promised is on the way.”

You don’t have to live worried, thinking, “I can’t handle this. I’m in over my head.” No, it’s in you. There is grace for every season. There is strength for your assignment, provision for your calling. Keep moving forward with confidence, knowing that He will sustain you every step of the way.

God has the final say. The blessing on your life doesn’t make you untouchable, but it does make you unstoppable. God wouldn’t have allowed the opposition if it was going to keep you from your purpose.

Paul said in 2 Thessalonians, “God will pay back those who persecute you. And He will provide rest for you who are being persecuted.” God sees the injustice. He sees you doing the right thing, taking the high road, overlooking the offense. Your time is coming. There is a time when God will turn things in your favor.
If you’re going to stay in faith and not let life change who you are, you’re going to have to put your foot down and say, “I will not fear.” When fear knocks, you have to let faith answer.

You celebrate others. Do you ever celebrate yourself? You build your friends up. Do you ever build yourself up? It’s not selfish to be good to you.
Don't miss this powerful message, "Build Yourself Up." https://t.co/fzO8ZeVnAZ
Sometimes we think angry words are small things, but they can become big things that destroy your relationships. Look out for the small things. The Bible calls them “the little foxes that spoil the vines” (Song of Songs 2:15). Be on guard every single day.
Don't depend on people to make you worthy. That’s putting your self-worth, your mood, into their hands. Put it in God’s hands. Go to Him to get your value, your approval.

You have to give yourself permission to rest. This takes all the pressure off. God’s in control. You keep honoring Him, being your best and God will take care of those weeds. He’ll open the right doors.
Difficult people are all around. There will be someone who can steal your joy, offend you, leave you out, say something that’s not true. The key is to handle it the right way. Don’t take the bait.
When God births a dream in your spirit, don’t dismiss it. When He speaks something that ignites your faith, that you get excited about, don’t take it lightly. Write that vision down. Get in agreement with God. You need to see it again and again so it will take root.
The story of Abraham and Sarah is the classic story of hope and faith. When God spoke the promise to Abraham that they would have a son, it birthed hope in his heart. And the Scripture says that Abraham “did not doubt or waver in unbelief concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and empowered by faith” (Romans 4:20).
There will be things you don’t understand: things that are not fair, people that are against you. You don’t win these battles with skill or outmaneuvering. It’s a spiritual battle. They are won with the sword of the Spirit, declaring God’s promises, standing in faith, unwavering, unmoved.
God has made you stronger than anything that will come against you. There are things that you would think would break you: the sickness, the addiction, the trouble, the loss. It feels bigger, stronger, tougher, but can I encourage you: you are unbreakable.

God will warn you of things you can’t see. He’ll whisper to your spirit. Instead of ignoring it, we need to obey when we don’t understand, trust when it doesn’t make sense. Recognize that God is keeping you from unnecessary trouble and heartache.
