Quit accepting defeat. You are anointed for this and this was not designed to break you, but to make you more like Christ Jesus…Selah

1 Corinthians 13 (MSG)
If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing. If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love. Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others, Doesn’t revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end. Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled. When I was an infant at my mother’s breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good. We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.

No matter how the enemy tries to discourage and defeat us, when we cry to Yahweh (God in our present), for help, he rescues us. He hears and answers us. His love never fails and he never gives up on us. Praise his name!
I love you, O Yahweh, my strength.
Yahweh is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies. (Psalm 18:1-3 ESV)

When God says something, it’s really not a suggestion, he said:
“NOW (in Haran) the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself (for your own advantage) away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show (AS YOU MOVE GOD WILL UNVEIL AND REVEAL THINGS to you.) (Hebrews 11:8-10) (YOUR FAITH AND OBEDIENCE ATTRACTS THE FAVOR AND ACTIVATES THE BLESSING OF GOD!)
And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you (with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing (dispensing good to others.) (Genesis 12:2) (YOU ARE GREAT! YOU ARE GREATER THAN YOU EVER WERE AND THE GREATEST YOU’VE EVER BEEN! YOU ARE FAVORED TO EXTEND THE SCEPTER OF FAVOR TO OTHERS.)
And I will bless those who bless you (who confer prosperity or happiness upon you) and curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed (and by you they will bless themselves.) Galatians 3:8) (Genesis 12:1-3)
YOU ARE GOD’S GLORY DISTRIBUTION CENTER, BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING DISPENSER, BLESSED BEYOND THE CURSE TO BE A CURSE BREAKER! The Lord is blessing you, RIGHT NOW!

God delights to give good gifts to his children, especially when they look to him, as their source. The wounded are healed and delivered from oppression. God’s love surrounds the fearful and fear departs. There is no need to fear lack, for anyone rooted in Christ has living water. These will always bear fruit no matter, if there is a water shortage and it hasn’t rained for years. Their source is the River of Life.
God hears the cries of his children, who depend on him. Put your trust in him and he will transform your life!
But blessed is the one who trusts in Me alone;
the Eternal will be his confidence.
He is like a tree planted by water,
sending out its roots beside the stream.
It does not fear the heat or even drought.
Its leaves stay green and its fruit is dependable. (Jeremiah 17:7-8 VOICE)

Wow! Hearts, Motives, True Colors or Intentions are being exposed, in this season.
Be not entangled or snared by the cares of this world. (Mark 4:19; Luke 21:34).
Holy Ghost News Flash! When you care more about your building, more than building your people, when you care more about your needs, than the needs of your people. When you try to correct God concerning what he is saying, over your people, you have missed the heart of the King of kings. You’re in religious control, and spiritual witchcraft, from the pulpit!
We destroy every altar that doesn’t lead to you Lord Jesus, by FIRE!!!!!!

Living with regrets and looking back on the past? Abba God wants you to change your focus to him. He knew you could not get out of your mess and sent his one and only Son Jesus the Anointed One to pay the price, so you enjoy abundant life through him. Abba’s unconditional love is expressed by the obedience of Jesus to lay down his life, paying the price for your sins. He loves you and has redeemed you, with his precious blood, so we can live victorious, with no regrets.
No more thinking how things would have been better, “if only, I should have, I could have.” It’s time to forgive, let it go, and to stop rehearsing what went wrong and blaming others or yourself. Focus on Jesus and what he has done for you. He took all the curses and your punishment, so you can live the abundant life. Leave the shambles of the past and walk into the bountiful life, he has for you.
Abba God is waiting for you to look at him. He has the keys to your future, filled with new opportunities and abundant blessings, as you listen and follow his instructions. As you leave the past, he will fill you with new vision and provision for what he has for you. Drop the regrets, so there is room for Abba God to fill your arms and imagination with many gifts for today. Enjoy the present and look forward to really living with the abundant blessings he has for you!
And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (John 8:32)

You are loved. You are appreciated. You are valuable. Never underrated.
You are powerful. You are strong. You are a royal treasure. You are Yahweh’s lovely song.
You are the apple of God’s eye. You are God’s Beloved, and his.

You are a Joy. You are a delight. You are unconquerable.
You are full of God’s glory and strong in the power of his might. You are blessed. You.

Worried and fretting over something? Praise God and remember the many times he has blessed you. Pray your worries away, by giving them to God. He easily takes care of your concerns so you can rest, enjoy his wholeness and peace. Pray and realize Daddy God loves and cares for you..
Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. (Philippians 4:6-7 MSG)
