Hope


“Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?”

You Say - God Says


When our circumstances in life are crumbling and we feel we aren't able or can't go on, God can speak to us through His Word. Here are some of the things that God promises us in the Bible.

YOU SAY

God says: All things are possible
(Luke 18:27)

God says: I will give you rest
(Matthew 11:28-30)

God says: I love you
(John 3:1 6 & John 3:34 )

(Proverbs 3:5- 6)

You are a Ten


Reinhard Bonnke is a great German preacher and evangelist. I love the way he illustrates God empowering us. All of us are zeros without God. When we stand next to God who is #1, together we become the number 10. We can do all things with the Lord our God!

Faith

I attended a meeting today where Gloria Copeland was speaking. She was speaking on faith. She was touched on the account of David when he went up against Goliath. He had faith that God would be with him when he went up against the Giant. She was reminding everyone to speak words of faith. Our words have power not just when we are praying. You may have heard of the saying, "You have what you say." Well, it really is true. When something doesn't happen as you expect it to, don't complain that your prayers or your faith doesn't work. Not everything happens in the time line that we want it to. Keep speaking words of Faith and believing.
