There is a light in the darkness that may be surrounding your life, and that light is Jesus! He is faithful in every season, no matter what it seems like! Jesus brings hope, love, joy and peace to those who are feeling discouraged, rejected, worn out, or in distress. Look to the light this season and every season and watch Him transform your life in a way that NOTHING else can do. The light of the world is Jesus Christ, celebrate Him today!

The Lord is calling you today to move out of your fear and back into faith! Just because you have mighty victories doesn’t mean you won’t visit low valleys, and the enemy of our soul will send messengers with an Ahab and Jezebel spirit to do whatever he can to keep you in fear, doubt, and despair. Take your eyes off yourself, be a hearer and doer of the Word, and remember that you are not alone! Overcome the intimidation of a fallen culture by acknowledging Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior of your life and stay planted in the truth!

If you haven’t noticed, this world has gone crazy!! Peace seems like it is hard to come by, but thankfully God’s Word shows us exactly how to have a perfect peace no matter what’s going on!!!! Having a peace that isn’t based on circumstance is worth more than anything the world can offer. The Bible tells us to pray, to set pride aside and tell the Lord what it is that we need, and to give thanks in everything. Set your mind on the things above, and refuse to allow the false peace of the world to satisfy you any longer! God has a true, abiding peace and it’s available if we are willing to be obedient to His word. Remember, without God’s peace you can’t think right, decide right, move right, love right, or act right!!!!!!!

Have you ever had a moment where you cried out to God because you didn’t know what to do? Are some of the pieces of your life scattered, and you’ve been trying to work out how to put them all together? Be encouraged!!! The Word of God tells us what to do, when we don’t know what to do! Stop talking up your current situation and problem, and start talking to the promises of the Word. The only way to pull together the dry bones of your life is to obey God and speak His word. Prophesy to your situation, just like Ezekiel did, focusing not on where you are, but where you’re going!!!! God’s promises and His word will work in our lives when we are obedient to put it into action!!!!! 

Don’t let the enemy’s tricks of discouragement work on you! He wants to get you in a place of discouragement so he can mess with your mind like never before. The devil wants you to give up! But praise God that our Father is always with us and has already gone before us in every situation! So many people never make it to their battle because they can’t get past the words spoken against them, but discouragement runs out of oxygen the moment you place your eyes on Jesus! Speak faith to your fear and remain faithful to the house of the Lord! Encourage yourself in the Lord and be careful of who and what you seek when you’re discouraged. You’re not fighting the natural! Your giant wants you to submit to a spirit of discouragement so you’ll abandon the victory! Stay in the Word and remember His promises so you’re equipped with a Kingdom response for every attack of the enemy!

It’s time for the church to take a stand and declare that we are NOT FOR SALE! We are called to know and follow God’s Word without compromise! Many churches out there have become one of Satan’s greatest tools for deception since folks go expecting to hear the truth and end up hearing a lie from someone posing as an ambassador of Christ. The true believers aren’t going to bargain with God or look for loopholes; they’re simply going to obey God and what His Word states! He’s gonna walk through the fire with you when you stand with Him — it’s not gonna turn out like you thought! Center everything in your life around God’s Word and watch what He’ll do for you!
