Where the passion ends, the story of Paul begins. The Church's greatest enemy, the one who persecuted and killed Christians, became the Christ's most prolific messenger.
Dear Lord,
Today, I declare that all things are working for my good. Everyday in this week is blessed and filled with benefits. I am productive in my life, health, relationships, career, business, and ministry. I am blessed and I’ve been highly favored. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
The Scripture says, “Until the time came to fulfill his dream, God tested Joseph’s character.” Before your dream comes to pass, God will test your character. You have to prove that you can handle what He’s entrusted you with.
When God sees you doing your part, believing when you don’t see any sign of it, thanking Him when you’re weak, taking steps of faith when you’re uncomfortable, God will give you strength beyond your natural ability. He’ll help you do what you couldn’t normally do.
God knows your name. You may never have spoken to Him, but He'll speak to you. He doesn’t hold your faults against you. He doesn’t say, “You haven’t performed well enough, so I won’t have anything to do with you.” No, He’s calling your name.
I’m grateful to God for the opportunity to preach the Gospel tonight in Mexico City. The stadium was packed, as well as the overflow area. We praise God for each one who made the decision to put their faith in Jesus Christ and follow Him as Lord of their lives!
Get your hopes up. Start expecting God’s favor; start believing for the unusual. God wants to make you an example of His goodness. He’s already set in motion something better than you can imagine.
God didn’t accidentally give you the wrong personality, make you too quiet, too outgoing, having the wrong gifts. He matched you for your world. You have exactly what you need to fulfill your destiny.
When life goes smoothly, it’s easier to say that God is good. However, when life is hard, it takes faith to trust Him. But it’s our faith — even a little faith — that pleases God. (Hebrews 11:6)
