Believe and Declare- Finding hope as you journey to fertility

God never uses illness to chastise or teach you a lesson; rather, He always brings life, hope, healing, and restoration. The enemy is the one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Christ reconciles every broken thing to God through what He accomplished on the cross. It is counterproductive to do things that push you away from the very life he paid the price to have. In fact, here is what he says about such actions in Matthew 12:26: "Any kingdom divided against itself is bound to collapse, and no town or household divided against itself can last for long."

God is actively watching over his word to accomplish it

You may have prayed for days, months, and even years, and you are yet to see his promises fulfilled. Don’t give up hope; the promises are now about to be fulfilled, not in the distant future. No, they are about to happen. The healing, victory, children & all you have been believing are here. Things may still look like they have always been, but don’t be discouraged; the time is now. Continue to hold fast to the hope you acknowledge without wavering, for the One who made the promise is trustworthy.

Jeremiah 1:12 AMPC Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.

God is good and does what is good, sometimes we find ourselves in situations that are anything but good. In those moments when we can’t see the end, it becomes difficult to trust, but if we choose to trust, there is a level of intimacy we come into. There is also the benefit of finding ourselves. Yes, and this comes from identification; when we gain a better understanding of God, only then do we know ourselves better. Who we are in Him and what we have in Him.

Romans 5:3-5 MSG- There’s more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!

Be confident that God hasn’t forsaken you; He is with you, and he will perfect all that concerns you. Whatever the promises you are believing for, those in the word or those he spoke to you personally—he will fulfil them.

Psalms 138:8 TPT- You keep every promise you’ve ever made to me! Since your love for me is constant and endless, I ask you, Lord, to finish every good thing that you’ve begun in me!

Start by seeking God's will and His direction as you plan.

If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don’t ever trust yourself. In

Who better to trust to help you lay hold of the promises than the one who made the promise? Will you trust Him to guide you and enable you take possession of them?

In the midst of difficulty and at the most appropriate time, the Lord appears. God is of a gracious disposition, and he says he has resolved to be merciful to those who wait on him.

Isaiah 30:18 AMP- And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]!

Do it God’s way so that you may enjoy the full supply of the Spirit, who knows how to brood over shapeless, chaotic, and dark situations to produce the word that accomplishes God’s purpose. 

Genesis 1:2 GNT- The earth was formless and desolate. The raging ocean that covered everything was engulfed in total darkness, and the Spirit of God was moving over the water.Then God commanded, “Let there be light”—and light appeared.

Ezekiel 37:1-2 & 7 

The power of the Lord was upon me and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley full of old, dry bones that were scattered everywhere across the ground. He led me around among them,

So I spoke these words from God, just as he told me to; and suddenly there was a rattling noise from all across the valley, and the bones of each body came together and attached to each other as they used to be. 

*Read Ezekiel 37:1-14

Waiting to lay hold of something we desire can be difficult, and it can be even more challenging when we can't physically see what we are anticipating. It is an uncomfortable place to be, and today's episode sheds light on how to wait actively and positively.

God wants you to rest assured knowing He is by your side even during the most trying moments, helping you get through them and providing you with the strength to overcome them.

When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up—the flames will not consume you. Isaiah 43:2 TLB
