All of us at one time or another has experienced personal failure. It is usually after getting through these tough times we move forward with testimonies that can encourage and help others going through the same, or similar circumstances. We can impart our stories with another in hopes of helping them overcome by faith because the Almighty is a God of second chances. We all have struggles. No one is exempt of some form of disobedience in their lifetime but through repentance we can again follow and resume walking in the will of God and not our own. God knew it all, that’s why he sent his Son to help us turn our wrongs into rights.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness....1 john 1:8-9
In most cases to effectively help someone we must remove our judge hats and put on our helper hats realizing that we are not ourselves alone perfect in any way, shape, or form and if it wasn’t for the saving grace of God we would be in a remaining lost state of mind ourselves. Peace and Love~

Continue to Rise
Just when the enemy thought he had your mind completely because circumstances in life were becoming too overwhelming for you. Right at the very moment his confidence level was at an all-time high thinking he had succeeded in keeping you down, rendered you useless, stole your smile and laughter, and ultimately left you in a defeated st...ate of mind, you rose. When we come to discover that Jesus is bigger than any circumstance life faces us with our focus shifts. We no longer keep company to misery because we know that the one who fights our battles is above and mightier than all. He has the power to INTERVENE, ALTER, and totally CHANGE any situation we face for the good, and for the betterment of us in the long run. God doesn’t leave his chosen high and dry. You are his love investment. He will never abandon us; he will be our comforter, and our help. He will as he said impart his strength to us in times when we are at our lowest. He is still a wonder.
Just when we think we cannot carry for another second the weight of the burdens of life, God comes in like a flood and shows us that as long as he sits on the throne there is a reason to never feel we are without hope. Help is always available because HE is the KING of kings and the LORD of lords. All power remains HIS, nothing gets past him, and ultimately anything that happens must be permissible by him first. He knows each of us by name and every obstacle in life we have, will, and are presently facing. Make a liar out of the devil, show him who your Master is, continue to stand firm and strong in the Lord. Retain your joy, your smile, your laughter and your hope in knowing that nothing can separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus; not death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing. (Romans 8:38-39)

In Christ we are Winners!
Be grateful for this brand new day and rejoice in the love of God that still abounds. Happiness is knowing Jesus and if he be for you who in the WORLD could be against you. Whose weapon formed against U shall prosper? There is none greater, wiser, or more powerful than the ALMIGHTY. He is all knowing and remains in charge!
God has given Christians weapons to ready us for warfare. In dealing with spiritual battles it is the power of God that helps us in our fight against things unseen. Our strength comes from him. Ephesians 6:10-18 lists the equipment necessary to help us be more than conquerors. We must put on the full armor of God. In doing so we are protected & armed for incoming conflict that only the Mighty One can help us defeat.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day! Today is the day we show an extra measure of love for those we care about. Our love for God should be the center for all we do & the blueprint we use in how we treat one another. Encourage a heart today that might not have someone to share this special day with. It's easy to show love to the ones we know. The more we understand God's love for us, the more love we'll show to others..(John 13:35)
Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. —1 John 3:18
A Life of Peace
Isaiah 26:2-4
Your home offers protection from the elements. So when a storm rolls in, you seek shelter within the safety of those four walls. The same principle applies to life’s storms. If we’ve built a solid house on a foundation of faith, then we’ve got a haven to run to when dark clouds gather and anxiety threatens to overwhelm us.
Let’s suppose I’ve got a problem that has me fretting. My stomach is in knots. Friends and family try to be understanding, but they’re growing weary of me taking my heartache out on them. I’m so focused on this issue that it feels as if I’m carrying a load on my shoulders. God offers a liberating alternative: “Cast your burden upon [Me] and [I] will sustain you” (Ps. 55:22). He does not erase the ills that invade this life. Instead, He shields us from the weight of worry by taking situations into His own hands.
However, the call to a free and peaceful life goes unheeded unless a person has confidence in the Lord. Trust is built through relationship—praying during daily trials and triumphs, seeking biblical guidance for decisions, and testing God’s Word to see that it is true and practical for this life. That’s how a house of faith is constructed brick by brick on the solid rock of Jesus Christ.
A believer who trusts in God receives the peace that Philippians 4:7 promises. But unshakeable peace isn’t instantaneous; it is cultivated through a consistent relationship with the Lord. A lifestyle of dependence upon Him is the key to weathering storms with supernatural calm.

Praise Stills the Enemy
A certain peace & strength comes when we open our mouth & give God praise. It stops & silences the enemy. There will be times we will go through but we have to learn not to give place to the devil & praise God for what is & what is not. Praise God anyhow & watch the grip of satan become weaker & weaker in your life. We have the power because we have Jesus. I dare U to praise Him & watch satan back off & shut up. We don't have to put up with the attacks of the devil. We can break the hold he tries to put on us with the power of our praise & render his plan ineffective.
