^{I AM who God says I am
More than a Conqueror
Romans 8:35-37}

^{I CAN do what God says I can do
I can do all things through Jesus Christ who gives me strength
Philippians 4:13}

^{I HAVE what God says I have
Plans from God to prosper me, give me hope and a future
Jeremiah 29:11}

Have you ever searched the Bible to see what the Word of God says about you? His promises and thoughts about us are amazing! Once we discover God’s truths for us, it can have a positive impact on our perspective, and can be life changing.

Set aside some time for your own personal journey to unwrap God’s love for you and everything He says is yours.

ENJOY!

Romans 12:2

² And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be [a] transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].

How would we learn from our mistakes, unless we go through the hurt, pain or shame? Once told when Akin stole and hid the stolen property in the tent.

Once Moses killed a soldier and hid his body in the sand.

Once David killed the husband of another woman.

Once again, we will all be tested and tried. Tribulation will come.

Desire to be transformed and mature spiritually, by renewing your mind.

As a reminder, just as those who came before us and the generations that follow, we will know nothing, absolutely nothing, is hidden from God.

GOD, You Said …

Psalm 18:30-33

30 As for God, His way is[a]blameless.
The word of the LORD is tested [it is perfect, it is faultless];
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. 31 For who is God, but the LORD?
Or who is a rock, except our God, 32 The God who encircles me with strength
And makes my way blameless? 33 He makes my feet like [b]hinds’ feet [able to stand firmly and
tread safely on paths of testing and trouble]; He sets me [securely] upon my high places.

God knows what the enemy did to you. God knows every doubt, every denial, and every whisper of fear the enemy would bring. It is time to rise above it and kill it at the root. It is time for you to silence the voice of the enemy with the Word of God. Your power and strength are in believing and speaking over yourself and
circumstances with, “GOD, You Said …"

Joshua 1:9

9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be terrified or dismayed (intimidated), for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

God, many times, must remind us that those who are His Children are not alone in this journey called, life. He encourages us to be strong, courageous, steadfast. If
and whenever we become dismayed or lose our way, His Word ensures that ...

A Gracious Moment

1 Corinthians 6:20

20 You were bought with a price [you were actually purchased with the precious blood of Jesus and made His own]. So then, honor and glorify God with your body.

“Thank you, Lord God, for being so gracious to me. For whom you are and for everything you have done, my heart is overwhelmed. There is no one like you. Holy Spirit, I need you every day. Even after all these years of my salvation, I'm still learning things about you. Your gentle tugging at my heart and soft whispers in my ear are precious. I need that communion with you every day. Forgive me for the times I did not respond to you. Forgive me for the times I grieved you. Help me to do better. I pray that my life reveals that you are with me. Help me to be sensitive to your presence. My heart's cry is that you will never depart from me.”
