Mark 11:22 - Jesus said to his disciples, "Have faith in God!
Hello to my WIFI subscriber's , family and friend's... We should always be thankful no matter what, knowing that God has got our backs...
Sometimes, it may seem that we are all alone and no one cares... I'm here to let you know that God Cares, and he is an on time God... Yes he is... He may not come when we want him to, but he will be to your rescue in his own timing... It's not that God has forgotten about you, it's that he was probably just waiting on us to get our life ready for the blessing or transition and plans God has for our lives.
I've learned in life that just because God says wait, does not mean he is saying No... It just simply means not now... Please know that when you are delayed something, you are NOT denied... Your blessing is building up even better as you wait.. Say: "Increase!"
I do believe that timing is everything... There are some things I've been waiting on God to do in my life a long time, but I'm not discouraged that time has elapsed and I'm growing older... What to do when you have been seeking God for a long time has not come to pass?... This is what I recommend... I recommend that you keep your request before God if you know God said this is the plan for my life.
I found in waiting that you must have FAITH.. Don't ever give up on your dreams.... What God promised to you will come to pass because he is an on time God that may not come when we want him, but he will be there right on time, so just hold on to God's unchanging hand... He will never leave you or fasake you.... He will never put you down, and make you feel less than a person while you wait... . Just trust in him and keep the faith and know that all things work for the good according to God's purpose and God's plan...
"Not our will.... But God's will be done in our lives!!!! "
For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.

My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” ...
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. ...
Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Posted by: Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas

When the turn came for Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his own daughter, to go in to the king, she asked for nothing except what Hegai the king's eunuch, who had charge of the women, advised. Now Esther was winning favor in the eyes of all who saw her. And when Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, into his royal palace, in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign, the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she won grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. Then the king gave a great feast for all his officials and servants; it was Esther's feast. He also granted a remission of taxes to the provinces and gave giftswith royal generosity.

And he quickly provided her with her cosmetics and her portion of food, and with seven chosen young women from the king's palace, and advanced her and her young women to the best place in the harem.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot escape to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me and I die.

She came to Jerusalem with a very great retinue, with camels bearing spices and very much gold and precious stones. And when she came to Solomon, she told him all that was on her mind.

John 14:6 (ESV) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
I've found in life that things rarely go the way we want them to according to our plans... It's often that we forget to seek God first for the real plans he has for our lives. A lot of times we tend to put the cart before the horse and jump the gun and find ourselves feeling run over, run down and and for some of us just beat down and used.
Nevertheless, I've come to let you know that as long as you continue to seek God and keep him first in your life, no matter what life in general throws at you, you will be able to stand, stay with God and know the "PURPOSE" for your life.
See, I found out just the other day that life will hand you some things so bitter and so hard to swallow that some circumstances of life can make you become bitter if you let them. Ahhhhh... I said, "If you let them." Now, what do you mean by that? Well, I'm certain that we do have a right to get angry when men and women trespass against us.. Naturally, the human mind is designed to do one or two things or more when under pressure... Number one.... Most of us instantaneously become angry... Number two... Some of us just shut down, and number three... Some of us become combative and want to fight... I heard Donnie McClurkin say, "The last thing you want to do is get a Christian mad, because they will come out fighting..."Wow.. I've been in a number of fights myself.... Nevertheless, when we seek God first, he detours us from certain situations that most of us find ourselves in because we tried to do things on our own...
In all things seek God first... Simply said: "Put God First...." Know the purpose for your life... What I'm really trying to say is, when you know your purpose in life, life can hand you whatever it will or may, and you can still stand and weather the storm. and you can live and stand your ground according the scriptures and the script and plan that God has for your life.....
See, it's the devil's / advisory's job to throw us off track... Yes, I said the adversary's job to get you off track, and off focus so he can come in for the kill and try to steal, kill and destroy your joy.... See, even the enemy knows that if they can steal your joy, they can try and steal your testimony.... . But I come to tell you today that Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world... Serving bold notice that the Devil does not have the victory over any of our lives.... Only if you give it to him.... "Stay with God!!"
I decree and declare on today that the Joy of the Lord is my strength, and I shall have the victory and walk in the purpose driven life that God said I shall have.... Just stop and reach up and take what's yours.... We have power, we just have to stop and call on the name of "JESUS" when we feel like all hope is gone, and we feel like life detours are too much for us.... Just remember that we have a God that standing by with his arms opened wide waiting on us to come his way and ask him for guidance, and help.... I tell you, if you seek God in everything you do, you can't go wrong....
Now, the trials of life will come without notice, but stand strong, and know that the glory of the Lord will reveal itself to you by leading and guiding your footsteps in the right directions... Please know that God has your back in all situations....
Glory... I feel your anointing and power of God on today as I was detoured on last night.. Taken way out of my way as I drove home, delaying me about 1-2 hours... Oh, but somebody say I began to plead the blood of Jesus, and say God as long as you guide me home safely, I know everything is going to be alright... See, I had on my traveling shoes!!! We have to learn to put our trust in him!!!! Trust God, he will always steer you in the right direction....
Just tell the Lord: “When the storms of life are raging… Stand by me Dear Jesus!!!” Don't you dare give up, hold on and be strong, because God will step in and it won't be long.... Just don't give in... Hold on!!!!
