June 1, 2014--Choose Joy!

Really, it's totally up to you. You have a choice to either trust God or worry. You choose joy or you choose anxiety. Either way, you're going to be confronted with trouble in this life. Jesus said it would happen, so there is no changing that. But what you can change is whether you'll go through it in misery or overcome it with joy. Joy is definitely the way to go!
~Pastor Jesse Duplantis~

Power Thought for the Week from Prophetess Tera C. Hodges:

May 25, 2014--Confidence!

Confidence by Hannah Goodwyn:


Don’t put God in a box. Don’t limit God. Don’t put God in a corner.

It wasn’t until my recent epiphany that I truly understood these sayings. At that intensely spiritual moment, I realized my faulty conviction. One thought burned in my mind and heart.
God is not handicapped! 

I realized.....I had lost my confidence in God. My love for the Lord never failed, but I didn’t see Him as the One who parted the Red Sea, the One who calmed the hungry lions in Daniel’s Den, the God who called down fire to consume Elijah’s watery altar. My Lord is indestructible. Nothing in this earth, or in the spiritual kingdom of darkness, can cripple my King. This means that what He says goes. If He says you are healed, expect that miracle. No miracle – to big or small in our eyes – is too difficult for the One who created our existence. The miracle worker you know is stronger than the fears and struggles your need creates.

Remember:
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them [your sickness, debt, marriage problem, issue], for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV)

Power Thought for the Week from Dr. Millicent Hunter @ Iamdrmhunter:

Faith is the bucket of power lowered by the rope of prayer into the well of God's abundance. What we bring up depends upon what we let down.

Marriage Moment from Marriage Works via Facebook:

Because you're different from your mate, your reality is different. Take the time to see the world through your mate's eyes.

ENDURANCE:

Perseverance is more than endurance. It is endurance combined with absolute assurance and certainty that what we are looking for is going to happen. Perseverance means more than just hanging on, which may be only exposing our fear of letting go and falling. 
***Oswald Chambers***

Power Thought for the Week from Bishop Tudor Bismark @TudorBismark:

Three things cause a person to be successful: Faith, Grace and Place.

Marriage Moment from Fierce Marriage via Facebook:

Always be generous in your marriage: kindness begets kindness, grace produces grace, and love always leads to more love. Marriage is a give/give relationship when Christ is at the center.

NO MORE FEAR......From Pastor Tonya Hall via Facebook

1. Today's Devotion...NO MORE FEAR...#RaisingtheBar #VoiceActivation
   
   In the name of Jesus, I refuse to fear, because God has not given me the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
   I bind the spirit of fear in my life, in the name of Jesus.
   I break every evil covenant that has brought fear into my life, in the name of Jesus.
   I command every terror of the night that has brought... fear into my life to stop and move from my environment, in the name of Jesus.
   You spirit of fear, loose your hold upon my life and my family, in the name of Jesus.
   I command all human agents using the spirits of fear to terrify me in the night to stumble and fall, in the name of Jesus.
   The fear and terror of the unbelievers shall not be my lot, in the name of Jesus.
   My tomorrow is blessed in Christ Jesus, therefore, you spirit that is responsible for the fear of tomorrow in my life, I bind you, in the name of Jesus.
   My destiny is attached to God, therefore I decree that I can never fail, in the name of Jesus.
   Every bondage that I am subjecting myself to by the spirit of fear, I break you, in the name of Jesus.
   All negative doors that the spirit of fear has opened in the past, be closed now, in the name of Jesus.
   Every disease, oppression and depression that came into my life as a result of fear, disappear now, in the name of Jesus.
   I refuse to be intimidated by any demonic nightmare, in the name of Jesus.
   Every enchantment and invocation of fear being made against me, I neutralize you and I command you to fail, in the name of Jesus.
   Every confederacy of the enemies in my home with the enemies outside shall not stand, in the name o f Jesus.
   All arrangements of the devil concerning my home shall not stand; neither shall they come to pass, in the name of Jesus.
   I destroy all efforts of the enemy to frustrate my work, in the name of Jesus.
   I nullify every writing, agreement or covenant against my work, in the name of Jesus.
   Father Lord, increase my greatness and comfort me on every side, in the name of Jesus.
   O Lord, as You delight in my prosperity, I pray that You bless me indeed in my work. Let no household enemy be able to control my well-being any longer, in the name of Jesus.
   Let all those who are against me without a cause in my place of work turn back and be brought to confusion, in the name of Jesus.
   I close every door through which the enemies have been working against my work, in the name of Jesus.
   No weapon of satan and his agents fashioned against me shall prosper, in the name of Jesus.
   My life is hid with Christ in God, therefore nobody can kill me or harm me, in the name of Jesus.
   I open wide all doors leading to my blessings, victory and breakthroughs which the enemies have closed, in the name of Jesus.
   Let every territorial spirit working against us in our neighborhood be frustrated, bound and cast out, in the name of Jesus.
   Let every power contrary to the power of God operating to suppress people in my area be neutralized, in the name of Jesus.
   I bind every spirit of frustration, defeat, delayed blessing and fear in my environment, in the name of Jesus.
   I banish every enemy of progress in my neighborhood, in the name of Jesus.
   I bind the spirit of death, armed robbery and assassination in my neighborhood, in the name of Jesus.
   I reject, renounce and destroy every evil agreement or covenant in the environment, in the name of Jesus.
   By the blood of Jesus, I nullify the effects and operation of evil forces around my house, in the name of Jesus.
   Lord, get all my stubborn pursuers occupied with unprofitable assignments, in the name of Jesus.
   In Jesus' mighty name, I fire back every arrow, spiritual bullets and satanic missiles fired at me.
   O Lord, reveal the secrets and expose all my enemies masquerading as my friends.
   Father Lord, make it impossible for my enemies to use anything that belongs to me against me in the Name of Jesus.
   NOTHING CAN STOP US NOW. #RAISINGTHEBAR
