God directed Joseph by an angel in a dream. When Jacob saw angels ascending and descending from heaven, he knew all would be well. (Gen. 28) The eyes of Elisha’s servant were opened to see a host of angels ready to help.   Angels are assigned to minister to us heirs of salvation.

When you maintain your joy, you will maintain your strength. (Neh. 8:10) The Apostle Paul wanted to finish his course with joy. (Acts 20:24)  Joy will produce a defense, a fortified place and power to resist an attack.

Don't believe the lies of the enemy and look to the Lord for who you really are.

God's plumbline is true vertical.  Peter did not let his past define his future.  Paul allowed his new identity to challenge who he used to be.  We are made alive in Christ.

We can identify with the Master. Three attributes of Jesus are: Thankful, Strong (Impart these traits to our children), Kind (Begins with awareness of others and caring).

It is important that we and our children solidly identify with Jesus. You will never know who you are till you find out who He is.  What does the enormity of the price He paid for us, say about our value?  If you identity is in anything you can lose, you’re leaning on the wrong thing.

God has put into Jesus, everything He wanted the believer to become.  God’s work in Christ, far exceeds any damage done by Adam’s sin.  Our identity is meant to be in Christ.

A relationship with God must include a relationship with His Word.  The engrafted Word will produce wonderful results.  (James 1:21)  Speaking the Word will enforce the enemy’s defeat. (Ps. 103:5)

America has no hope.  Hope keeps your emotions on track.  Faith is the substance of things hoped for.  Hope is the container that we put faith in.  Let's be a prisoner of positive expectation. 

Get filled and stay full of the Holy Spirit.  (Eph. 5:18-19) Strong believers speak.  Jesus wants you to operate from a position of strength.
