When Love Is On Your Side!

Joseph — Fri, 10 May 2013 09:59:48 +0000

When we yield to love, which is God’s very nature (He is love!), we begin to look and act like Jesus Himself would if He were living in our bodies – which, of course, He is!

It’s love that causes us to grow up! It’s love that will bring us to our ultimate goal of being just like God. However, if you decide to take the path of love, there will be times when it seems as though love will make you the underdog instead of the victor.

There will be times when you are wrongly treated, and you will feel like it would be to your disadvantage to be patient, kind and long-suffering. You might even say “Now wait a minute! If I just keep on being kind and loving, people will run right over me.”

But that is not true. You see, when you walk in love, you put yourself in a position where God Himself can protect you. When you quit seeking your own, He seeks your own for you. And He is a great One to have on your side, because when He is for you, no one can stand against you.

Love is very powerful! If you are being mistreated, or if someone has hurt you deeply, yield to that powerful force of love on the inside of you. Let it rise up strong in you and overtake that hurt.

When you do, not only will you be healed on the inside, you will be victorious over the schemes of darkness on the outside. When you walk in love, God is on your side. And when God is on your side, you can not help but to succeed.

Love never fails!

Resting In Your Prayers!

Joseph — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 10:22:05 +0000

Whatever your problem, whatever your desire, take it to the Lord in prayer. There the answer awaits you. Make your prayer in the stillness of the night and God will answer in the heat and work of the day.

When you have made your prayer, use Psalms, sixth chapter, ninth verse, which read as follows: “The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD will answer my prayer,” and believe and know in your heart the answer will be forthcoming.

So, rest in the Lord!

Love you all!
Joseph

It’s Time To DARE TO BELIEVE!

Joseph — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 18:08:27 +0000

I received the following email from a friend the other day. It was right on time for me and I trust for you too. :) Enjoy . . .

Are you facing something that seems impossible? It seems like you’re at the end of your own resources. Like your life is spiraling out of control. Or perhaps you’ve been hoping for a change to happen in your life …but it just seems like nothing is happening.

You may be feeling all alone in your circumstances. No one seems to understand what you are facing. You have done everything you know to do. And now hopelessness seems to be swallowing you up. It’s Time To DARE TO BELIEVE!

It reminds me of a woman in the Bible who was facing a similar set of circumstances. The story is found in Mark 5. “A large crowd followed and pressed around him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.” Mark 5:25-29.

Just like this woman in Mark 5, God is calling out to you today. He loves you and wants to bless you! What seems impossible in your eyes is totally possible to God. Even in the darkest hour when it seems HOPELESS, Jesus is going to respond to your crisis. He loves to rescue His children, in their time of need. Learn More Now!

Your Heavenly Father is crazy about you. He is always ready, willing, and able to rescue you. The problem is that we are not always willing to trust Him! The reason we don’t trust is that fear and doubt often keep us from fully trusting God. But here is the Good News: “TRUST” ALWAYS TRIUMPHS OVER TRIALS! As we release our faith and fully trust the Lord, amazing things happen.

Don’t Give Up – Double Up!

Joseph — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 14:41:03 +0000

Everything in your life depends on the Word of God! Nothing else can give you the faith you need to walk in consistent victory. That’s why putting the Word first place in your life every day is so vital. It’s also why darkness works so hard to keep you from doing it.

I asked the teachers at the studio a few weeks ago to take time each morning right when they get up in the morning to pray, spend time in the Word. I told them there will be all kinds of reasons why they can’t spend daily time in prayer and the Word. They would have thoughts repeatedly why they shouldn’t act on this suggestion. I told them when these thoughts come, just keep persevering. I’m telling you the same thing – keep persevering!

Even if things are going smoothly for you right now and you don’t have any problems today, that doesn’t mean you won’t have problems tomorrow. Jesus said, “In the world you will have [trouble]” (John 16:33, New King James Version). So stay strong and be ready to overcome it.

Don’t try to coast along on the Word you have put in your heart in the past. Fill up your spiritual tank every day. When the road gets rough and darkness pressures you to give up, double up instead! Double up on the Word. Double up on prayer. Be doubly quick to obey the Lord.

You say to darkness “Oh, no. I’m not going to quit. I’m just getting started. I’m going to persevere in the Word until I receive everything it promises.” Then put the pedal to the metal and charge down the road of life with victory that overcomes the world – even your faith!

Love you all!
Joseph
