again and ask God to take all that has been made.

For you that was unfair or immoral and somehow resolve it for your good and turn it into something that can really help other people. You could be at the lowest point of your life right now. You could be suffering so much. Maybe your husband and wife have abandoned you. You may feel like your whole life is over and, without knowing it, it may be just beginning. And let me tell you this. You have no idea what wonderful things God has planned for you. There is no devil in hell big enough to stop you from getting the best that God has for you if you are determined to have the best and do your part.

I want you to make the decision today that you are not going to live your life hurt and broken. No matter where your life takes you, your choices, your behavior, your actions, your decisions, no matter what happens in life, what role you are in. God has the power to put that in, but it was broken instead.

blessings

that you cannot contain God's favor is in your future Above anything you can imagine and that is according to the Word of God You have to believe that it is possible for you before it can become reality Nothing is impossible with God Remembering the tragic mistakes of yesterday paralyzes your ability to have hope for tomorrow Stop rehearsing your mistakes When you read this book No It's a book about Perfect People It's a book about human failure on a scale that makes the worst of you look like a badge-winning Boy Scout or Girl Scout.

Moses was a murderer. He killed the Egyptian God used Moses to lead the Jewish people out of Egyptian slavery Stop swimming in the mud of your past mistakes You are a child of the living God You are the royal blood of heaviness flowing through your veins You need to square your shoulders raise your head smile again Act and think like it talk like that as long as you have the courage to try again. There is hope, as long as you are willing to love again, to believe again, to start achieving again. There is hope. Saying there is no hope for you is like slamming the door of faith in the face of God.

Nothing is impossible with God, not even the The worst failure of your life The darkest page you have amazes God Your record in heaven is boring to read to God Some of you are burdened by an overwhelming sense of guilt, shame, lack of self-confidence, lack of beauty, lack of brains. lack of strength enough. If you had been the only one on earth, Jesus Christ would have died to save you. I want you to stop ruminating, feeling sorry for yourself, complaining, and rehearsing the things you've been going through that make up your entire personality, and wake up to a new you.

The best is yet to be. Dreams still come true. Your dreams can come true Nothing is impossible for those who believe, if I could make you believe your life would change in a day Nothing is impossible for those who believe that means, no matter what you face No matter how great the difficulty, no No No No matter how long it's taking, you know, God is still on the throne. You know that his plans for you are for the best, that he is bigger than any challenge. You may have no natural reason to hope. It doesn't look like you're going to get it.

Well, meet the right person, start your business. Don't put your hopes on your circumstances, they may not turn out the way you thought. Don't put your hopes in people. They may disappoint you. Don't put your hopes in your career. Things can change Put your hope in the Lord in the God who created the worlds in the God who threw stars into space When you have your hope in Him, the Scriptures say you will never be disappointed And you sure can go through some temporary setbacks in life will happen But when all is said and done you will come out better than you were before God did not breathe his life into you crown you with favor give you a royal robbery so that you can walk anchored to bitterness anchored to doubt anchored to worry.

He created you to be anchored in the hope of getting out each day Waiting for His goodness knowing that the days to come are greater than the days we left keep the right perspective That illness cannot defeat you that addiction is temporary The right breaks are already in your future You may have had some disappointments, life threw you a curve that cannot stop your destiny The odds may be against you, but the Almighty God is in your favor When you remain anchored in the hope that he will show up in your life Ways you've never experienced imagined You should get up in the morning and say God, I want to know you and love you more.

I have done this every morning of my life for decades. I don't get out of bed in the morning. Before I do this, I sit down. on the edge of my bed before my feet hit the floor and I'm just saying this dear God It's another day And if I don't do anything else today I want to know you a little bit better and I want to love you a little bit a little bit more And if at the end of the day that Life sucked that day it sucked everything went wrong. It was terrible that I sinned, there were mistakes or all kinds of sorrows and problems and difficulties if at the end of the day I know that there is a little better than loving a little more.

I didn't waste that day. On the other hand, it doesn't matter how many things you accomplished, how many things do you accomplish? How famous you become, how much money you earn if at the end of each day you don't know God a little better or love Him a little more. You just wasted that day Because God didn't create you or put you on earth just to check things off your to-do list. Before my feet hit the ground and before I actually physically get out of bed, I just take that moment to remember and one of my favorite morning verses is Psalm 143 Verse 8 and it says, let the morning bring me words of your inexhaustible love because I have put my trust in you Show me the path I must follow because I entrust my life to you and then I simply say good morning Lord I do not know where you are going, but wherever you go, I am going with you and the reason why love that says let the morning bring me word of your inexhaustible love not of mine Because I will fail, that is part of being human and show me the path I must take, because I entrust my life to you.

It is just a way of recognizing the Lord. You order my steps. That's why today I want to walk with joy Close to you in the steps you have ordered. Every morning I pray that God will put someone in front of me that he can help. Someone I can be a blessing to and who I'm not talking about. TV or in the pulpit. I'm talking about the people I'm with in my world. Who can I help and who can I bless that your light may shine before men so that they may see your good works and glorify your father who is in heaven all the days of my life?

I pray that God will use me to improve someone else's life. It is a time for us to begin to use our talents Because each one of you each one of you has something to contribute in society Each one of you has a ministry each one of you has an anointing from God I love thinking about what could happen if every believer truly understood who they are in Christ and what they have to contribute and we would stop backing away from fear. And we would just go out in the middle of our world. Your neighborhood where you go to the market where you shop.

You go to school where you go to church and we would just do what the Bible says let your light shine Stop worrying about what you can't do and start using what you can do Every day, you must declare that I have the favor of God Favor is all my family Favor is in my health Favor is in my business Favor is in my finances This must be a way of life Where every day Whether it's sunny or raining Whether you're on top of the mountain or in the valley, you will get Get up in the morning and say "I have God's favor." That's not just to remind yourself.

Not only to show God that you are trusting him, but you are showing the enemy who you belong to. The Scriptures say if you will acknowledge God in all your ways, he will crown your efforts with success. One way to recognize God is to quietly declare his favor throughout the day. Maybe you don't see how you can achieve a dream. The way you recover doesn't seem like it's going to be possible. change People don't have the last word people don't control your destiny People can't see the favor in your life. They don't know what God is about to do.

Don't let them deter you from your dreams. Don't let people convince you that you can't improve, that you'll never be able to afford a nice house. You will never break the addiction They are looking at the natural we serve a supernatural God a touch of his favor will catapult you forward They can be negative discouraging condescending. Let it go in one ear and out the other None of it can stop your purpose Favor in your life will defy the odds Favor will take you where you don't have the qualifications. On paper it may not make sense.

Don't worry. God knows what he is doing. Every time you start your day you need to start with God and you need to do some things on purpose. You need to make a decision. This is the day that the Lord has made. I will enjoy this day. Make an announcement to the devil. Who is the thief of joy? I will enjoy this day that I am getting my justice. I know who I am in Christ I am putting on my peace Jesus gave me peace. I'm not going to be mad today if I don't get my way on everything.

If you do things right with God first thing when you wake up, when it's your morning. If it wasn't important then I wouldn't say everything. the Bible Get up early in the morning and take care of the difficult tasks, get them out of the way first Don't let some work you have to do threaten you all day and make you fear the day David got up early the day he killed Goliath. Come on. You're not going to kill your Giants lying in bed by hitting the snooze button. I believe that every morning we should dedicate ourselves to God.

Let's look at Psalm 25 verse 1 To you, O Lord, I bring my life plain and simple. I pull out that Psalm a lot and read I love Psalm 25, oh Lord. Do I bring my life? It's a great thing to do every morning. Just sit, stand or kneel or whatever you feel comfortable with, just raise your hands and say. Here I am, Lord, I am yours. Every morning we have to go to him and tell him. God, show me my homework, show me what to do, show me where to go. Give me the words to speak Asking for wisdom as a guide.

That is an act of surrender. It takes humility to say God, you know whatwhich is better for me. I can't do this alone. I need your help Open the right doors, close the wrong doors, clear the way. The Scriptures say that when you acknowledge God in all your ways, He will direct your path. But very often we make our plans without consulting God. Then we ask Him to bless them. plans We wonder why it's a struggle, why it seems like it's always uphill. We have it backwards. We are making a move and then asking God for help.

The right way is to ask God first, God, what do you want me to do? Should I date this person? Should I start this new project? Should I make this purchase if you feel peace about it? If not, move on. Wait knowing that God knows what is best for you when you ask God for wisdom each morning. You are showing your dependence on him. When you humble yourself like this, the Scriptures say that God will exalt you. Many people these days are too proud and think that I don't need any help. I can do this alone, Joel, look how successful I already am.

Think about where you could be if you begin to recognize God. Think of the mistakes he could have saved you from. Think about the opportunity, the favor, the doors you couldn't open but. God can open Don't do it alone that will limit you Set your mind every morning I'm going to be a peacemaker and a peacekeeper I'm going to be adaptable. If I don't get my way then I'll just adapt and be happy anyway. And it's extremely important Galatians 10, be aware of being a blessing. Spend a little time every day thinking about something you can do for someone else and do it early.

Decide to complement everyone around you and find something nice to say to them. Sometimes we think: How nice is that suit you're wearing or, boy, your hair is pretty good, why don't you open your mouth and say? What you think blesses no one. Tell them. The more you compliment other people, the better you will feel. Make up your mind. to congratulate the person you are married to at least five times today. Do you know that your marriage could be saved if you do that? And not only that, people will respond to the positive things you tell them and will start loving you to make you happy.

You can't just complain about everything you don't like. Be careful to be a blessing. Come on. I challenge you every morning to think of someone to whom you can be a blessing. I suggest you start each day by saying God, I am absolutely nothing without you. I can't do anything without you. I lean entirely on you today I'm desperate without your help And it really doesn't matter how many victories I've had in the past that doesn't guarantee me a victory today if I don't lean on God today, lean on God yesterday no Don't help me today.

I have to lean on God today You have weaknesses You have limitations. God has no limitations, but we have limitations. So you say Lord, I am weak in this area. I need your strength I believe that you are changing me every day, and I am not going to spend the day Worrying about what I did wrong yesterday I trust you to strengthen me in my weakness That our weaknesses really don't have to do that There is a lot of difference if we know how Let God fill our weaknesses with his power. We get overexcited about what we can't do and don't get excited enough about what God can do.

You see, it doesn't matter what you can't do or what I can't do God can do it And miracles don't come in cans, they come in cans. Well, we get what we believe. Let's begin to believe that the power of God is available to us. To see miracles in our lives and in the lives of other people. We will not have miracles if we do not believe in miracles. We have to believe in the miraculous power of God. When we go to God every day, the right attitude is God. What do you want me to do?

What is my task? Not giving orders to God telling him what to do, how to do it. More like God. Show me the best way. Show me how to overcome this problem. Show me how to achieve my dreams. God wants us to trust in him, not in a formula to think well. If I do this, I do that, and I do that, then God will bless me if that's all it takes. We wouldn't really need God. David understood this principle in 2 Samuel 5. He had just been made king over Israel when the Philistines found out. They went down to this valley to attack it.

Now David was a warrior. He had conquered many armies and it was his nature to attack, but here is why David was considered a man after God's own heart. Verse 19 says that David inquired of the Lord. Will I go attack the Philistines? Will you hand me over to this enemy? Notice his humility. He didn't say I already did this and there was no problem. He took the time to consult the Lord before going into battle. He was silent and said God, what do you want me to do? He was receiving daily direction from him. He didn't assume that because something worked in the past that it would work right there.

He asked a very important question. God, will you hand this enemy over to me? It seems like it would be a fact that he was simply put in charge of the Israelites, God's chosen people. Surely God would not allow them to be defeated. But the fact is, we're not supposed to fight every battle. David was smart enough to ask if I'm supposed to attack. He was saying God, if he goes in there, are you going to go with me? He was showing his dependence on God. He recognized where his strength, his favor, his ability came from.

And sometimes we assume that if there is an obstacle, there is something trying to stop us. There is no question of going in and out of battle. God is on our side. But a wiser approach is to tell God, what is your plan? How do you want me to respond to this opposition? Should I attack or will I stand still and let you fight for me? If I go in God, will you go with me? We have all fought battles in which we did not turn out the way we thought. Maybe it was because we did not consult the Lord.

Verse 19 goes on to say that the Lord said to David, go, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into the hands of Once he got clear direction, once he knew that he had God's blessing, he went there and defeated the Philistines. But if we do like David and consult the Lord Before entering into conflict, before making big decisions, go to God to receive daily instructions. It would save us a lot of pain and anguish. I have learned what God commands that he will pay. But God is not obligated to bring victory to battles that we are not supposed to participate in and yes, God is merciful, yes, he will help us, but it is much better to consult the Lord before making important decisions.

He doesn't want you to do it. get hooked on a formula. He wants you to be hooked on him. When you develop this habit of coming to God for your daily bread Daily direction by saying God, how do you want Him to respond? How should I face this situation in my health my finances God give me your wisdom your insight your favor. This is how God will guide you on the best path for your life. What are some of your mornings like? Do you go to bed with the intention of getting up and spending time with God, but then when your alarm goes off you hit snooze? sleep again.

And then you hit the snooze button again and then you stay in bed too long. And then you get up, of course, now, you don't have time for anything and you're in a frenzy, you're in a hurry. And that puts you in a bad mood. You know you should have spent time with God, you didn't and the whole day basically turns into a nightmare. All I can tell you, if you don't spend time with God, you will have a tragedy. day after day after day after day after day after day It's amazing what happens when you give God that first little bit of time And I believe that you will find your time with God so fruitful that later We will begin to find ways to get more No, every morning you need go to God for your daily bread, your daily wisdom, daily direction Too many times we are trying to do things only with our own strength, our own intellect, our own ability.

That's going to limit. us God can see things you can't see He knows the right people who should be in your life He knows where the danger is Where the dead ends are God knows how to catapult you to your destiny. You have an advantage. Are you taking time for your daily bread? Sometimes we run out of the house. I'm in a hurry. I don't have time today Joel, I have to go to work. I live by this principle Never meet other people before meeting God If you take the time to recognize God, say God, I need you today Guide me, guide me.

Keep me on the right path Not only will your day go better, but God will keep you from making mistakes Start each day with Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is very important What are you grateful for? Do you thank God daily for even the little things? There are many things. be grateful for When you wake up in the morning Say thank you for the grace Thank you for the mercy. Thanks for understanding. Thanks for the wisdom. Thanks for the parents. Thanks for the love. Thanks for the kindness. Thank you for Humility, thank you for peace. Thank you for prosperity Give thanks in advance for what is already yours The true desire in your heart for something good is the proof that God sends you in advance to indicate that it is already yours That itch you have Whatever you want to do that what you want to do to help others grow and make money That desire that is that is the proof from God that he sent you beforehand to indicate that it is yours And whatever you want well, you can have it So claim it Work hard to get it When get it reach back lift someone else Each one teach one Don't just aim to make a living Aim to make a difference You know better, never waste a day What you know, you think about time differently as you get older I think when you're in your 20s and maybe even 30, maybe even 40, you don't think about time too much.

But a few years ago it occurred to me that two-thirds of my life was over. Much more aware of time and how silly it is to waste any day you have, you know. There's something really interesting about time. We all get the same amount in a day, every day is 24

hour

s. Some people are very, very fruitful and effective and others just waste time day after day. That's a choice we make, but there's one thing about time. Once it passes. You never get it back. How tragic it is to waste any day of your life. I think we need to live each day as if it were our last and live it to the fullest.

May we live it in the morning, before going anywhere. You get up and make a decision. I belong to God. I don't belong to myself and when I leave. When I leave this room I start dealing with my family, when I walk out the front door I start dealing with society. I am a personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ and I need to adopt behavior that represents Him. I have the mind of Christ. I have the Spirit of God in me. I don't have the privilege or the right, which isn't really a privilege, to go out and act like everyone else.

And my real purpose in being here is not to please myself. . It is representing God and drawing other people to Him through my godly behavior. If you wake up every morning and do nothing but think about all your mistakes and all your problems and how you made a mistake yesterday and how bad you feel and everything you do. what you have in life I can almost promise you that you won't be able to go out and be nice to anyone. You have to wake up in the morning and you have to think about some things on purpose.

Don't think and meditate alone on everything the devil tries to get into your head. You start to think how God wants you to think and you can think on your own. You don't have to simply think about what the devil offers you. You can think on your own. And one of the things that will help you is to speak out loud. Get up every morning, kneel next to your bed right away and just say Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus help me today to behave the way that you want me to help me to have You know what.

You work for God, you are on His payroll. If you go out and do what you're supposed to do every day, you'll get your paycheck. God will take care of you Come on, I'm talking to you God will take care of you We all work for God Let me tell you something. You're not going to beat the devil lying on your couch watching soap operas and eating donuts. We need to learn to live with intentionality. That must be one of the first laws of our life and we must realize that it is one of the first. rules of success intentionality We have to do things on purpose.

We can't just wait and see what falls on us. We need to do it on purpose. Do what you can do. You do what you know how to do, what God has taught you to do. And then God will always do what you can't do. Can you hear me? You do something to sow some seed so that God can do the parts you can't do. What you are facing may be bigger, stronger, more powerful. But when you refuse to worry, when you refuse to live stressed, instead, you are left at peace. Thanking God that he is fighting your battles knowing that he is in control. showing God with your actions that you are trusting him.

David said although he walked in the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil God is not only with you on the mountain tops He is with you in the valleys when you are going through things He knows what you are facing the scriptures say God cares about what you care about A sparrow does not fall to the ground without Godknow it The more God cares about what is happening in your life trust him live from a place of peace This is a decision we have to make daily because every day there is something to worry about some reason to get angry Throughout the day day keep this phrase close to your heart God has this He is worried about me.

He is working in my life. He is greater than my enemies. He is lining up the right people He is arranging things in my favor That attitude of faith is what allows God to do wonderful things I won't put my feet down in the morning until I talk to God Can you say without hesitation that God is first? in your life It is foolish to say that we don't have time for God and if we don't have time for him then he is not the first in our lives Do you think about God in his goodness in your life?

Do you take the time to be grateful? God for your

blessings

even to the little ones Live to please the Lord Make decisions that are pleasing to God how many times we decide to put God first But then keeping Him first becomes a problem. Because in case you haven't noticed, the world is full of things that distract us. I'm sure you've experienced it. You make the decision to pray every morning and study the word before doing so. anything else and suddenly it's night and you don't even know what happened but that plan you made didn't work and then More than anything now I want you to listen to me more than anything the devil will fight about keeping God first in your time In your finances and in many, many different ways You see, this is what you don't want to do I found myself many years ago trying so hard to fit God into my schedule And finally one day the Lord said, why don't you work your schedule to around me?

So, are you trying to find a place to put God in your schedule or would you be willing today to say that God from now on you will be first and I won't? I don't care what else has to go or what I have to change. I have to make an adjustment. I want to keep you first in my life in everything. Let me tell you, being a Christian just doesn't work well if God is secondary in your life. He doesn't want to just be a part of your Sunday morning. He wants to be welcomed and be a vital part of everything you do.

Millions of people believe in Jesus and go to church on Sundays. But God is not the first in their lives. He puts you first in his life, you know that every one? one of you is first in God's thoughts And I want you to understand this today you are in God's mind all the time He is always thinking about you. We couldn't even count the thoughts that God has towards us. They would be like small grains of sand on the beach before reaching planet Earth. God made a plan for each day of your life. He won't force you to walk in it, but He would like you to walk in it.

He would like to guide you and guide you through life and literally, let me say it again. involved in everything you do in every decision you make God wants to be a part of it. That is why Jesus died for us. Boy, we sure need God when we're desperate. Well, you know we can't just turn to God when we are desperate. You are desperate. That is not a walk with God. You say you want to tell me that I need to spend time with God every day. How about every five minutes? God is not there for emergencies in our lives.

He is our life. Well, then we can continue trying to do a lot of things. things without it and we fail over and over again and hopefully we'll finally get it, that's what happened to me. Now some of you are still young enough to think, oh, man. I just like how to get married or have children. I have to climb the ladder of success, you know. Well, that's good. Do all that But if you do all that without God, you will reach the end and remain very dissatisfied. You will be like a person wandering in the desert, seeing one mirage after another that you believe. has the water you need This will make me happy good, this will make me happy good, this will make me happy Nothing will make you happy Happy and satisfied you can go enjoy a vacation and you are happy while you are there, but who wants to just enjoy certain events and days of his life.

I want to enjoy every ordinary day of my life every day. Giving God part of your day first is a wise thing to do. I would say even if you can't do it for long in the morning, just give it something. something to start the day well. Throughout the Bible there are people who got up early in the morning and sought God. You know, it won't hurt you to get up half an

hour

earlier just to seek God. Moses got up early. Abraham got up early. Joseph David, Jacob Jesus. Mary, actually, I like this and I said: Mary got up early and went to the grave.

And I don't want to impose laws on anyone. But I do believe that you can seek God before doing anything else in the day. much better for you because it is good to fill yourself with God before having to fill yourself with something else. How important it is for you to give God the first portion of your time and seek Him yourself regularly. I think it's the answer to every problem you have. You can't stay strong in the Lord if you don't spend time with him. A lot of people say "well, I just don't feel like I have a really close relationship with him." Good God, are you looking for it?

The Bible says that if you seek Him diligently that means regularly The word seek just means to long to pursue and pursue with all your might What happens to us when we spend time with God? Well, number one, your joy increases. You get up in the morning and sit down. depressed you are going to spend a little time with God, he will fly away Psalm 16:11 says that in his presence there is fullness of joy. You relate to God and start to feel happy. So when I spend time with God in the morning, I just look forward to it.

It kind of calms me down for the day it just sort of puts everything in order and prepares me to go out and be what God wants me to be You're happy one day depressed the next spend time with God you will stabilize He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will remain stable and fixed under the shed of the Almighty whose power no enemy can confront, no devil in hell can defeat you when you regularly go to the secret place. Do you think Jesus wouldn't come out of a secret place? business meeting to go find God oh yes, he would have done it.

He knew there was a time when you had to walk away and you had to be with God because if you didn't, you would go over the edge. And I believe in Jesus at any time. he felt that he had all he could handle. I think he just ran away from it and went and cooled off. Put God first in your life. Don't act like he's some heavenly Santa Claus that you turn to every time you need something. the rest of the time ignore it Take time Give God time Nothing given to God has ever been lost when you give God time you don't lose it You sew it like a seed and he will give it back to you The first fruit of everything belongs to God If we give it to God the first portion.

The rest is blessed one of the reasons why people get stressed and never have enough time is because they are not giving God the time He deserves Well today it seems like no one has enough time but the truth is that we all have the same quantity Well, you say, you know, it sounds good and I want to do it, but I just don't know what to do. You know, sometimes you just need to take the time you have and just remember where you come from. Sometimes you need to remember that you are not where you should be.

But thank God I'm not where I used to be. Oh, thank God, I'm not where I used to be. And you know what? If you're not feeling well, start taking a few minutes each morning and say, "Lord, I." I'm just going to wait for you and just believe that your healing powers are working on my body right now. And then I'll just say things like God's healing power is working on me right now. Thank you Lord for your healing power working in me right now. Hobby. with God If you give him time Many things will change in your life You will not be the one in the

prayer

line all the time.

You will be the one praying for other people. You won't be the one who needs a miracle. You will be someone's miracle. You won't be the one who always has to seek advice. You will be the one who advises other people. Come on, we all start in the same place, but we don't have to end up where we started. Let's progress. Let's start seeking God regularly and let God be God in our lives. Amen One of the ways you can take an ordinary life and make it extraordinary is to learn to do everything you do with and for God Raise your children for God Let your marriage glorify God Let your attitude glorify God Let God enter into everything you do God believes in you.

He has hope for you. He has a future plan for you. And no matter how many times you've made a mistake, God is willing to give you another chance and another chance and another chance if you'll just get serious about your relationship with Him. And yet, when God speaks to you, when He puts something in your heart, when something in the word comes alive in you If you listen to your spirit and not your head You see things and you can believe four things that don't even make any sense If you do something What you believe God is asks you to do and it doesn't seem to work for a while.

Don't give up, just keep believing if you heard from God that God will make it happen and make it happen. He will redirect you or you just need to do it. wait on him. You know, if you are not believing in the impossible then you are not open to a miracle in your life. But I'll tell you what if you believe that God has put something in your heart and it remains and it's not going to go away. and he's not going to disappear. You take one step and see what happens if it seems to work You take another step and see what happens and if it seems to work Then you take another step and pretty soon those steps that were small steps start to get bigger and bigger and bigger And before you know count, you know what is going to happen, you will be running with God at full speed forward doing things you can't even imagine We all have things that we are believing in as a dream to pass our health. turn around to meet the right person We have been praying for a long time staying firm on the promises We don't see anything happening.

But what you can't see is behind the scenes. God is working. Not only did He listen to you when you prayed, but He went one step further and set the miracle in motion. The psalmist said that the moment you pray, the tide of battle begins to turn. And just because you don't see anything happening doesn't mean the answer isn't on the way. And the people who see the promises fulfilled, the people who see progress, are the people who continue to pray, continue to believe, continue to be firm in the faith. In 1 John it says this is the trust we have in God if we ask something according to his will We know that he listens to us Thoughts will tell you that it makes no difference to pray you are wasting your time getting your hopes up Believing that you will recover You saw the medical report.

You will never break the addiction. You've had her for so long. Don't believe those thoughts the moment you prayed, the creator of the universe gets to work. It may not happen on your schedule or the way you thought, but He is a faithful God. What he promised you, he will fulfill, David said every morning. I take my request before God and wait expectantly. He didn't just pray and say, "Okay," I did my part, he prayed and then waited expectantly. He spent the day seeking God's goodness. Believing for favor, talking like it's going to happen, right? We will never defeat this giant.

Look how big it is. He's twice my size. I have no chance David had a victory report He looked at Goliath and said this day I will defeat you and feed your head to the birds of the air He expected God's favor. He surely said kindness Mercy follows me wherever I go he was saying in effect I know that the forces that are for me are greater than the forces that are against me What am I saying? It is not enough to pray. You have to follow Him expectantly knowing that God not only heard you because you prayed according to His will, but He sent the angel with the answer.

What God brings you may not be exactly what you thought the way you thought, but I can tell you firsthand that what God has in store will be bigger, better, and more rewarding than you ever imagined. Don't put God in a box. Maybe you don't see how it can happen. The medical report is not good. You don't have the finances or the connections. God has ways of doing it that you have never thought of David used a slingshot to defeat Goliath, he didn't have the training, the experience, the equipment, but a slingshot with God's favor is more powerful than an entire army without God knows what. you need it and he knows how to get it to you.

You don't have to figure out how God is going to do it. The Scriptures say not to lean on your own understanding. If you try to figure it out, you will get confused. But you say Joel, this all sounds good. It's encouraging, but I don't think it's going to happen for me. I don't think that just because you said something something is going to change then this isn't for you. This is for the believers This is for the people who know that God is in control That is putting the miracle in motion That the angels on the way You are going to see your healing your promotion your advancement your victory.

God is going to open doors No, man can close and take you to the fullness of your destiny We must get up every morning believing for a good day Waiting for favor knowing that God directs our steps at the same timeWe must realize that maybe everything won't go perfect. Every person may not treat us well. Our plans may not stick to the schedule. There may be some bumps in the road and things we didn't see coming. If you're only going to enjoy the day if your plans. They work. So you are setting yourself up for disappointment at the beginning of the day.

You must make a decision no matter what comes against you. You're not going to get angry No matter what someone says you're not going to be offended no matter the delays Disappointments bad breaks. You won't get bitter. You have already decided to stay in peace. This day is a gift from God. We're not always going to be here You have to stand up and say I'm not going to let these same things bother me anymore I'm going to stay in peace Even if the boss is unfair, even if my spouse is in a bad mood, Even if my flight is delayed.

Even if the medical report is not good. This is the day that the Lord made. I have taken a decision. I'm going to enjoy it. God saw everything that happened to you. He knows what was unfair, he knows how you were treated. Nothing will be a surprise to him if you keep moving forward. He won't just take you out. He will get you out better. In Scripture we are told to put on the whole armor of God. Part of that armor is the shoes of peace. Every morning you must make sure you put on your peace shoes.

Many people go through the day barefoot offended discouraged upset But when you make this decision at the beginning of the day nothing is going to upset you You are really putting on your shoes you are saying God in you I trust I know you are directing my steps and even If things don't they turn out perfectly today I believe everything is going to work out for me When you are at peace, you are in a position of power The way to honor God is to wake up each day with passion as your best Pursue what he put in your heart There will always be things in our lives for which we have no answers and I can tell you from personal experience and also from the Word of God if you have to know the why behind everything and You are going to spend your life trying to solve everything.

You will never have contentment and satisfaction. You will never enter God's rest because trust always requires having some unanswered questions in your life. We have to not know and be satisfied We have to get to a place in our walk with God where, even though it may not seem fair, it does not feel good that we love God enough and trust Him enough to know that, no matter what happens In our lives, he is still in control and if we continue to trust him, he will work it out for our good. There are so many things we can have questions about.

But instead, he wants to listen. I trust you. When you choose to worry, you don't trust. When you try. to fix what is impossible you don't trust When you rush and don't wait for the Lord to move and change you you don't trust When you're awake tossing and turning at night you don't trust When you doubt the biblical principles and promises that are here in the world book you love and study that you don't trust When you turn first to others for help, you don't trust When you listen to human advice and give it a higher priority than the principles you just learned, you do You don't trust when you manipulate and Maneuver situations you don't trust.

When you step in and take charge without praying and being led by the Spirit of God, you don't trust. When you cling to others to feel safe, needed, and loved, you don't trust. trust What is it that we do that prevents us from trusting God? And how can we break that habit and see God break through in ways we would never have expected? He will win the battle he will win the battle it will be his battle and I will simply enjoy the spoils of his victory. He will win this battle. Trust Him. Trust God. Trusting God is a decision.

And yes, it's hard when you don't understand what's going on and it's especially hard when what's going on in your life you just don't understand. It doesn't seem fair, but part of what you have to realize is what you don't understand now. The things you're going through right now that you don't understand can't make any sense later. I promise you. later you will look back and say now I get it Now I get it amen And please believe me when I say that many of the things that you think are terrible Are actually good and the things that are not good, God can work for good But now listen, we are partners with God, he not only works everything for good We trust him and he works everything for good We trust God and he works everything for good But I want to tell you something that no matter what condition your life is in This moment No matter how many pieces it is in, with God's help you can rebuild Through God's strength you can rise You can run and not get tired You can walk and not faint When everything else is crumbling around us in the darkest hour of your life God will never fail you God uses storms to teach us that we need him every day in every hour of our lives God teaches us through those storms That he is almighty, that he is powerful and that only he has control of planet Earth .

The God we serve is the master of the wind and waves. He is the one who breaks chains and is the maker of paths. He is the way. He is the truth. He is life. It is his voice that penetrates the darkness. He remains the light of the world. He is the Lord of glory. He remains the Lion of the tribe of Judah. He remains our companion in the valley of the shadow of death. He is our hope. He is our strength. He is our high tower. He is the mighty God, the eternal father and the Prince of peace.

He is the sea walker and the healer of the blind. He is the champion of death, hell and the grave His name is Jesus, the Son of the Living God The hope of heaven and the dread of hell if you have fallen Rise up because Christ has conquered your storm Start living again Start loving again Start believing again Start achieving again Listen to the teacher's voice. Your storm is over. Stop allowing your past to control your future. Don't let yourself be pushed by your problems Let yourself be carried away by your dreams God is your father Nothing is impossible for you.

Nothing is impossible for you Nothing is impossible for you When you think you'll never be the same Don't let the storm of failure force you to curtail your dreams And minimize what you think you can do We were made by the hand of God to fly like eagles Don't let other people's foolish opinions determine your future Let Almighty God guide you through the storm, let him build the foundation of your life Let him set you on fire With a burning vision and a hope that will not fade . I assure you that you will achieve great things with few assets because God's blessing is greater than all the approval that the world will give you.

Don't let anyone lock you in their putrid dreams for your life. Live your life to the fullest every day the sun rises.
