Resurrection

Pastor Joel said ...
We have a reason to celebrate life every single day because the God we serve is alive. His resurrection power didn’t end on the cross 2000 years ago; His power is still at work today. Not only did He resurrect Jesus from the dead, but He wants to extend His resurrection power into every single area of your life, too.

Maybe you want to be free from a burden of lack, but it looks impossible. Business is slow. The economy is down. You’ve gone as far as your education allows.

But God is saying, “I’m not limited by those things. I’ve got resurrection power. I can give you one break that will thrust you to a new level.

I can open up doors that no man can shut.

I can bring talent out of you that you didn’t know you had. I can cause people to go out of their way to want to be good to you for no reason.”

Get your hopes up. Get your expectancy up.
He is risen, and He is alive.
He is faithful to His Word.

Father, thank You for Your resurrection power at work in my life.
I give You my disappointments and setbacks..
I trust that You will breathe Your life into me.
I trust that You have a good plan for my future...
You are leading me into total victory
in Jesus’ name. Amen...

行走

靠你有力量,
心中想往錫安大道的,這人便為有福 !

他們經過流淚谷,
叫這谷變為泉源之地,並有秋雨之福蓋滿了全谷

他們行走,力上加力,各人到錫安朝見 神

詩篇 84:5-7

Press toward

Pastor Joel said ...

Understand that the enemy always fights the hardest when he knows you are closest to your breakthrough. He’d leave you alone if he thought you were going to live in mediocrity. If you keep pressing on toward your promise, through faith and patience, you will get there.

Don’t be like the Israelites in the Old Testament who were right next to their promised land when they talked themselves out of it. They said, “There are giants in the land. It’s too difficult.”

No, don’t look at the obstacles in your life today. Lift up your eyes because you serve Almighty God. Follow the example of Abraham who believed God even when his circumstances looked impossible.

God rewards the people who seek after Him. Stand in faith and keep believing because this year, things are shifting in your favor. As you press toward the promise, you will see God’s hand of favor and blessing, and you’ll live in the victory He has prepared for you!

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I choose to believe Your promises. Fill me with Your faith and patience to press through to victory. In the name of Jesus. A-men

1.3.13

Breaking

"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but might in God for pulling down strongholds." ( 2 Corlinthians 10:4 ) 

Pastor Joel said ... 
Our thoughts dictate our actions. That’s why the enemy will do everything he can to get you thinking in the wrong direction.
sometimes it’s that we’ve believed the negative things that other people have spoken over us. Those words are like seeds. If you dwell on them long enough, they’ll take root and become a reality.
Too often we latch on to those negative words and develop what the scripture calls a “stronghold.” 

That’s a wrong thought or action that keeps us from God’s best. The way you break those negative strongholds is by rejecting the lie, forgiving the person, and embracing the truth of God’s Word. 
In other words, you have to choose to delete that negative file in your mind.

Ask yourself, “Where did these thoughts come from? Do they line up with what God says about me?” Break the negative strongholds and embrace God’s truth so you can be all that God has called you to be!

Prayer for Today ... 
Father, today I choose to reject negative thoughts. I choose to reject lies from the past. I break every stronghold through the power of Your Word and embrace Your truth which sets me free in Jesus’ name. Amen.
