God said in Psalms, “Touch not My anointed.” You are His anointed. When people come against you, they’re not just messing with you; they’re messing with the God who put His blessing on you. What God has blessed no person can curse.
Life happens to us all. There are going to be different seasons, ups and downs, victories and losses, good friends and betrayals, promotions and setbacks. If you’ll stay in faith and keep moving forward, in time, God will make all things beautiful.
There’s a time for weeping, a time for loss, a time for disappointment, but that’s not the end of the story. There’s also a time for restoration, a time for healing, a time for deliverance, a time for celebration. God said He will make all things beautiful in their time.
God will make all things beautiful, not just the good breaks, the promotions, the divine connections. That’s obvious, but He’ll also make the disappointments, the loss, the mistakes, the betrayals beautiful.
Don’t put off opportunities to be a blessing to people, to serve those around you. You don’t know where that small step is taking you. Your purpose could be waiting for you at that next act of obedience.
When you have a cause, you’ll believe you can accomplish what seems impossible, that you can overcome what looks insurmountable. Find your cause; fight for someone that can’t fight for themselves; get involved in something bigger than you.
Why do you think the enemy’s trying to stop you? He doesn’t bother people that are not a threat. He wouldn’t waste his time on you if he didn’t know you were a world changer, a history maker, that you have seeds of greatness.
Keep honoring God, being your best, and God will cause the people you need to be for you. He’ll take care of your critics. When it’s the right time, just like He closed the mouths of hungry lions, He’ll close the mouths of those trying to discredit you.
Don’t discount yourself. There is a blessing on your life put there by the Creator of the Universe. This blessing is not natural; it’s supernatural. It will cause things to happen that you couldn’t make happen.
He gave you the talent you need, the creativity, the strength. You’re the right size, you have the right personality, you come from the right family. You didn’t get shortchanged. You’re not at a deficit.
Yes, some things take time—we have to outlast what’s coming against us, do the right thing when the wrong thing is happening—but you’re going to come into these times where God is going to do a quick work.
I’m heartbroken by these recent tragedies of gun violence, and I just keep thinking about all the leaders who won’t take a stand to save lives and yet line up to pass bills that make it harder for us to vote.
You may have obstacles that look permanent in your life, but God is about to have them hurry out of your way. It’s not going to happen gradually, on a normal schedule, like you were expecting. It’s going to happen quickly, out of the ordinary.
Enemies may be knocking at your door: debt, trouble, sickness, calamity. Stay in peace; you’re invisible to the enemy. It may show up, but it’s not going to find you.
Faith and fear have something in common. They both ask us to believe something that we can’t see. Whichever one you get in agreement with is the one that’s going to come to pass.
You’re going to see God override what’s trying to stop you. There’s no storm too strong that He can’t calm. No giant too big that He can’t defeat. No fire too hot that He can’t step into and bring you out.
When you’re at rest, you’re in faith. When you’re at rest, you know God’s in control, you know all things are going to work for your good, you know that what He started He will finish.
Our God is an all-powerful awesome God, He is not offended when you ask for something big. That bold prayer gets God’s attention. That’s your faith being released. That’s when He’ll pour out blessings that you can’t contain.
Your words can limit your life or they can increase your life. They can curse your future or they can bless your future. What you’re saying in the storm will determine whether you come out of that storm. Talk about how big your God is.
