word of God

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

Everything Noah saw contradicted what he heard. But he wasn’t moved by a lack of evidence. He wasn’t discouraged because he was in a silent season. He had the faith to act on that one promise: a flood is coming.

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

The medical report hasn’t changed, you’re still single, the business is still struggling. If the enemy can convince you to quit believing before the rain comes, then he won. If he can deceive you into living by what you see, then he’ll keep you from what God said.

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

One of the greatest tests we all will face is not opposition; it’s time. Will you keep believing when nothing is improving? Will you keep building your ark, acting on God’s promises, being faithful, when the sky is still blue?

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

Keep thanking God. Just because He’s silent doesn’t mean He’s not working. Just because the evidence is not there doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen.

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

The enemy would love to talk you out of God’s promises, so u let the facts determine ur faith: the evidence, the time, how long it’s been. “There are no clouds, Ifeanyi. No thunder. How’s it going to rain?” You’re right where Noah was. Keep doing the right thing. Keep believing.

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

There may be things you’re believing for, but all the evidence is the opposite. There’s no sign of things improving. It’s been months, maybe years. I know it’s not easy, but don’t let what you see override what you heard. God is working. Things are happening behind the scenes.

Yes, he prayed and prison doors flung open. But he understood this principle that it was up to him to take care of his physical and emotional well-being. We can’t operate at our best if we're depleted, drained, worn out.

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

He was dealing with problems and people coming against him. He wrote in 2 Corinthians 1, “We were pressed beyond measure. We were so overwhelmed, we despaired of life itself.” Paul knew his limits. Yes, he was powerful. Yes, he wrote, "I can do all things through Christ."

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

The apostle Paul was supposed to travel to the city of Corinth and visit with the people. He had told them earlier that in a while he would be coming. They were planning for his visit, eagerly waiting for him to show up. But Paul encountered great difficulties in Asia.

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

This is a new day. A breakthrough day. A destiny day. No more excuses. No more letting comfort keep us from our calling.

God didn’t come to help you live better by the pool. He came to get you out of the pool. Jesus told the man, “Rise up, take up your mat, and walk.” You would think He would tell him, just rise up & walk. No, He said, “Pick up your mat, beuse you’re not going to be coming back.”

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

He knew exactly where u would be. Jesus went to the pool and found this man. It’s not an accident that you’re hearing this. God is saying to u, “Do u want to get well?” Not, “Do you want some relief? Do you want help functioning better in the problem? Do you want better excuses?”

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

Are there areas where you’re living wit less than God’s best & it’s bcum normal? U’ve accepted it, lowered expectations, made excuses. Now u’re comfortable wit an addiction, comfortable wit unforgiveness, comfortable wit lack & not enough. God doesn’t want u to stay at the pool.

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

The Scripture says, “Let this same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.” This is an amazing promise. You can have the same mind, the same thinking patterns as Jesus did.

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

I’ve had it too long.” A confused mind, “I don’t know what I’m supposed to do.” What kind of mind do you have? What are you thinking about all through the day? Your life is going to follow your thoughts.

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

So many people go around with a troubled mind, “I don’t see how this problem is going to work out.” A worried mind, “What if my company has layoffs?” A doubting mind, “I don’t think I’ll ever meet the right person.” A negative mind, “I can’t break this addiction.

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

The right answer is, “Yes, I want to get well and I’m willing to change. I’m willing to get out of my routine. I’m willing to take on a new identity.

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

Perhaps it’s wrong mindsets, self-pity, “Look what I’ve been through!” A chip on your shoulder. Life is too short to live that way. Do you want to get well? Don’t answer like the crippled man and come up with excuses. “Ifeanyi, you don’t know what happened to me.”

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

It takes courage to get well. You have to be willing to be uncomfortable for a season: to stretch and face new opposition without being weak and turning back. It may mean you’ll have to change relationships that are limiting your growth, keeping you from flourishing.

[Ifypastor @Ifypastor2]

I declare that this day, the favour of God will surround you, doors of opportunity will open for you, and every plan of the enemy against your life will fail. May God give you strength, wisdom, peace, and uncommon breakthroughs. You are blessed, highly favoured, & covered by God
