Exhortations that will ignite your spirit

When your faith is weak…your vision is weak…your vision is faint...your vision is blurry…your vision is fuzzy…unable to see clearly…unable to see great distances, but when your faith is strong…your vision is strong…your vision is clear…your vision is unshakable…unstoppable...unforgettable…undeniable…irreversible...SEEING THE BIGGER PICTURE! Hallelujah! So, what is your faith like these days?...because God wants your vision clear…plain…easily understood...without doubts...unmistakable…UNSHAKABLE…SEEING WHAT HE SEES...FOR WE WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT. TO GOD BE THE GLORY! AMEN!

God Almighty is the master strategizer and also the master planner who holds the blueprints of our divine destinies in the palm of His gentle hand...He is the key holder and also the key giver to open doors of new seasons to come, that no one can shut...to close doors of old seasons passed away, that no one can open...Let us therefore surrender in the spirit of humility before the One who binds and holds all things together..."22 let us draw near [to God] with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:22-23),"...HOLD FAST YOUR FAITH AND ASSURANCE IN GOD...TRUST IN HIM...BE AT PEACE...AND YOU SHALL NEVER BE MOVED!!! IN JESUS NAME! AMEN! HALLELUJAH!

 Is your cross too heavy to bear? Certainly not! The cross and the weight of that cross was designed and designated just for you. Though your cross may feel heavy at times, it's not too heavy that you must put it down. No, it is not. The scripture tells us that He would never put on us more than what we can bear. Never is a long time, it has no expiration date. Discover the strength that's already inside of you to continue carrying your cross. Discern what weights have been put on your cross by the enemy and lift them off. When you feel like you can't carry your cross any longer or it is no longer a joy to do so, call on Jesus and He will help you and comfort you in your time of weakness. ~Min. Steph

Child of God...God is able to bless you abundantly...to the full...to the max, so that in all things and at all times, you will have all that you need, you will increase and abound in every good work...why...because you are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for you to do...and know that all things will workout and work together for your good because you love God and because you are the called according to His purpose...His plan and His will...SO...DON'T BE GRIEVED...IT'S GOING TO WORKOUT FOR YOUR GOOD...JUST LET THE JOY OF THE LORD BE YOUR STRENGTH! In Jesus Name! Amen!

 Even though we can exceed our own expectations of ourselves, let's at least meet the minimum expectations that God has for each one of us. Matthew 16:24.

 For where there is a power struggle...there is also disagreement...there is also disunity...there is also stagnation. If you Surrender your power to God and agree with God...you will move with divine speed and effectiveness as God orders and establishes your steps...Glory to The Most High God!

 The trials that we face in life are there to produce a godly character in us and also to prepare us for greater glory to come...for greater victories to come...FOR A GREATER DESTINY TO COME AND TO BE FULFILLED IN SEASON....1 Peter 4:12,"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you"...HALLELUJAH...SO ENDURE...PRESS THROUGH AND YOU WILL SEE THE POWER OF GOD'S PLAN FOR YOU UNFOLD RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR VERY EYES...Isaiah 43:19,"Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert."...GET READY!!! IN JESUS NAME! AMEN!

 Don't be who people want you to be. Be who you're supposed to be. God created you uniquely different from everybody else for a purpose. He knows who you really are so allow Him to help you become the real you. Don't conform to the image that man has determined you should have. Man's image of you will take you out of alignment with your destiny and purpose. Know who you are. When you look in the mirror you should see you in all your beauty, in the image that God created of you, not man. Transform not into man's image. God's image of you is perfect and so much more splendid than any image created by man. Be you. ~Min. Steph

Let this be your year to seek a more intimate, a more closer and a more deeper relationship with Jesus...RELATIONSHIP + FELLOWSHIP = WORSHIP...1 Corinthians 1:9,"God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." HALLELUJAH! RELATIONSHIP...RELATIONSHIP...RELATIONSHIP! GLORY TO THE LAMB OF GOD!

Only believe...don't get desperate...because STRIVING only brings STRESS...but PEACE brings PROSPERITY! Is anything too hard for God! Believe that all things all possible! IN JESUS NAME! AMEN! HALLELUJAH TO THE LAMB OF GOD!

 Judas asked in Matthew 26:15 “What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you?” That’s a very interesting question that we could use to examine ourselves. Really, what offer would I accept that I would betray Jesus, turn my back on Him or abandon Him? What is the wage we are willing to accept? What are we willing to trade or exchange Him for? Will we exchange our time to be with Him and give that time to someone else? Will we exchange our Sunday worship services and our weekly bible study times for a time of rest or play? Will we exchange obedience for disobedience? Will we exchange righteousness for unrighteousness? Will we exchange truth for lie? What is the price that we are willing to accept? Don’t answer too quickly. Like Peter, we may mistakenly think we would never sell Jesus out but then the test comes and proves the reality that sometimes we do. I pray for an increase in faith and strength…that my faith would not waver… that people, money, fame, persecution, threat of death or anything else in this world would ever make me so desperate that I would be willing to compromise…or place God in any position in my life other than first…or worse, to deny Him. I pray the same for you too, my brothers and sisters in Christ. ~Min. Steph

AS YOU START OFF YOUR DAY…believe and trust that God can do all things...BECAUSE HE CAN...BELIEVE THAT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE LORD…AND REMEMBER…WHAT IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH MAN, IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD...NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR THE LORD...”Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.” (Isaiah 59:1)…SO GOD HEARS YOUR CRIES AND HE HEARS YOUR PLEAS…“…With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”(Matthew 19:26)…SO BE AT PEACE TODAY…”Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!” (Psalm 27:14)…BECAUSE GOD CAN DO THE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TODAY! THERE'S NOTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD! IN JESUS NAME! AMEN! HALLELUJAH! GOD LOVES YOU!!!

 It's a new season, it's a new day, no matter what the enemy has told you or what he is presenting before you today...for indeed, God has created each day to be a brand new day for you...for the Bible says in Lamentations 3:22-23,"22 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness."...brand new mercies every day...brand new favor every day...brand new blessings every day..."weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning"...for each new day is a new day of opportunities and open doors..."Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. (2 Corinthians 4:16)...GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS AND YOUR MERCY OH LORD! IN JESUS NAME! AMEN!

 The formula for everlasting and increasing success in life is:
READING the Word of God, day by day +
HEARING the Word of God, day by day +
SPEAKING the Word of God, day by day +
LIVING the Word of God, day by day =
RENEWAL OF THE MIND, day by day...
Causing you to prosper through the Word of God and by His Spirit that dwells in you! In the Name of Jesus! Amen!

"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." (John 15:7) "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." (Romans 12:2)

When you come into contact with Jesus ...EVERYTHING CHANGES...your situation changes...your circumstances gets better...Hallelujah...When you truly come to know Jesus...you will know that through hard times...through bad times...through setbacks...Jesus has already settled the matter...so let the matter be settled in you, for Jesus says in John 16:33,"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”...BE ENCOURAGED...BE OF GOOD CHEER AND BE AT PEACE IN YOUR SPIRIT, BECAUSE THE MATTER IS SETTLED...IN JESUS NAME! AMEN!

It is not God's desire nor His will that you remain in that same place of lack...that same place of struggle...that same place of stress…that same place of worry…that same place of headache…that same place of body ache…for the Lord desires in Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV),”For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.."...God wants you to prosper…He wants you to succeed...He wants you to increase…He wants you to go from one level of glory to another level of glory...He’s not out to harm you, but to help you...He has plans for you…plans to prosper you…plans to give you hope and a future…GOD DESIRES TO RAIN UPON YOU HIS PEACE AND HIS JOY...JUST TRUST IN HIM AND HAVE FAITH IN HIM! IN JESUS NAME! AMEN!

When God begins to move you from your former house to your latter house…your greater house…He will move you into that place where you should be and not where you want to be...for it is there where grace and favor will abound in your life and or in ministry, you will receive your heavy downpours of blessings, you will experience fulfillment of promises, you will get clarity on vision, you will see the increase of your hands and His glory will manifest and overshadow all previous disappointments and setbacks you've had in the past. IN JESUS NAME! For all through the bible we have seen and can testify, that those who received the increase or the EXPECTED, SOMETIMES LONG AWAITED PROMISED, were in the right place...the right season and at the right timing of the Lord…PEOPLE OF GOD…SEEK TO KNOW IF YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND THE RIGHT TIMING OF THE LORD…BECAUSE THIS IS THE RIGHT SEASON…”For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.” (2 Corinthians 6:2). ASK GOD TODAY TO POSITION YOU IN THE RIGHT PLACE…FOR THIS IS THE ACCEPTABLE TIME OF GOD’S FAVOR! IN JESUS NAME! AMEN!

 THE WORLD SAYS THAT "SEEING IS BELIEVING"...BUT GOD SAYS "BELIEVING IS SEEING"…for John 20:29 says"...Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."...HALLELUJAH...GOD SAYS WHEN YOU BELIEVE, THEN YOU WILL SEE…THEN YOU WILL POSSESS…because the Bible says in Mark 9:23," Jesus said to him, "if you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes". HAVE FAITH IN GOD AND BELIEVE THAT ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE…REACHABLE…AND ATTAINABLE…Matthew 19:26,’ Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”!!! PUT YOUR FAITH TO WORK AND KEEP BELIEVING! IN JESUS NAME! AMEN!

PREACH WITH FIRE!   TEACH WITH FIRE!   REACH WITH FIRE!!

IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME! AMEN!!!
