God Can Accelerate Your Future

God Can Accelerate Your Future

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. – Jeremiah 29:11.

When God formed and created you, he already knew what a wonderful future he had planned for you. His thoughts and plans are to give you the best life ever. He has equipped you with all the gifts and essentials you need to become all he wants you to be.

So, your life is moving at a snail’s pace and everything you have ever dreamed and hoped for appears to be non-existent. If things are slow for you right now, I have a secret for you, God Can Accelerate Your Future!

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. – Ephesians 3:20.

We all are always in such a rush to get to the destination we have dreamed of for our lives, but God is more concerned about the journey. Our thoughts are minuscule. God thinks on a much higher and wider plane than we do. We think of not just surviving but we want to thrive however God wants to provide us with “Overflow.”

For this to happen we must get on board with God’s plan for our lives. Just because things are not happening now that doesn’t mean that God has forgotten about you. God knows the correct time for you to step into the abundant life he has for you. Trust his timing. http://www.miraclebook.net

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. – Habakkuk 2:3

What do you do while you are waiting for God’s appointed time to accelerate your future? Pray unwavering, keep the Faith, Believe God’s promises, speak life into your future not death, which is negativity, keep Hope alive always, thank God & have Gratitude for everything God has done in your life because remember what you have and take for granted others are dreaming to have, and finally Trust God always and in all circumstances especially when things are not working out because even though you can’t see what God is up to he is always working behind the scenes. http://www.miraclebook.net

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. – Corrie Ten Boom

 

 

Run Your Own Race

Run Your Own Race

You are unique, one of a kind, God’s masterpiece, you are the only one who has your set of fingerprints. Why try to be someone else?

Sometimes in the press you will hear that a copycat crime has been committed. Well, the word copycat in essence means an imitation. Now the word imitation means the action of using someone or something as a model. God designed you to be an original so why would you want to imitate another? http://www.miraclebook.net

When you were a youngster in school you no doubt played the game “Follow the Leader.” Follow the leader is a children’s game. Players first choose a leader or “head of the line” and the remaining players (the followers) all line up behind the leader. The leader then moves around, and all the players have to mimic the leader’s actions. Any players who fail to follow or mimic the leader are out of the game. When only one follower remains, that player then becomes the new leader, and the game begins anew with all players joining the line once again. – www.wikipedia.com.

When you are a child, you do childish things and when you become an adult you are to gain wisdom and stop following the leader and branch out on your own. It is time you start to run your own race. This is the time you need to stop being an imitation and start being an original. This is why God created you in the manner and fashion that he did. Now I’m not saying that if say for example acting is your calling well of course there are going to be millions of people who are actors and actresses but have your own style and bring your own twist to the camera. Learn to be the star of your own movie. http://www.miraclebook.net

Run your own race means just be you. Every time you try to duplicate someone else you are disrespecting God’s creation of making you. God is the ultimate Picasso. Michelangelo, and all the other great artists. He put all the things in you that are necessary to become what he wanted when he formed you in your mother’s womb. Let’s look at some of the ways you run your own race:

  • Stop trying to fulfill other people’s dreams for your life. One of the most prevalent examples is parents trying to get their children to do what they never accomplished. Define what “success” looks like for you. Strive to accomplish your own dreams, goals, and visions for your life.
  • Don’t compare yourself to others. You have your own set of characteristics and God was aware of them from the beginning and approved of them. Don’t look down on yourself or think less of yourself because you are not like someone you admire. What you don’t realize is that that same person has things about themselves they would love to change and wished they were someone else also. The best person to compare yourself with is who you were yesterday, or last year or 5 years ago.
  • Learn to accept the things that you cannot change or maybe I should say you shouldn’t be changing. If God wanted, you to have a breast size of HH he would have given it to you. Don’t be so quick to have breast implants and then later that causes other issues. Men don’t be so quick to do penis enlargement because of who you are with. You have no guarantee that that person will be there a year from now. Use what God gave you and be content. The Apostle Paul said in the book of Philippians chapter four, “I have learned to be content in any and every situation.
  • Work on what you can change. In the Bible Matthew Chapter 15:18-20 says, “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: these are the things which defile a man.” Being prideful, having racial hatred, jealousy, etc. are things you can work on and change.

The Holy Spirit lives inside of all of us and if you will just call on him, he will guide your every step and help you remain uniquely you so you can Run Your Own Race daily.

 

 

Stop Disqualifying Yourself

Stop Disqualifying Yourself

Are you constantly playing over and over in your mind or even worst stating things like:

I am not worthy.

I am not good enough.

I am never going to accomplish that.

I am not beautiful.

I am never going to amount to anything.

I am poor and will always be that way.

I am never going to get married.

I am never going to have a business of my own.

I am never going to own a home.

I am never going to have children.

I am never going to own a brand-new car.

I am never going to accomplish my dream.

I am never going to go on a mission trip.

Wow! I don’t know about you, but I am already exhausted from all the negativity. Do you realize that those two words I Am are the most powerful words to ever be spoken? The words that you speak chart the course of your life. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” – Proverbs 18:21. http://www.miraclebook.net

Yes, there will be challenging seasons, but you don’t need to add to them by disqualifying yourself believing that you can never do great things in life. Face your fears and come out of your comfort zone and charge forward.

Start saying what God says about you:

You are fearfully and wonderfully made. – Psalm 139:14

God says that you are the apple of his eye. – Deuteronomy 32:10

You can do all things through Christ which strengthens you. – Philippians 4:13

You are healed. – 1 Peter 2:24

You are not fearful. – Timothy 1:7

You are not abandoned. – Hebrews 13:5

You can have an abundant life. – John 10:10

You are chosen. – 1 Thessalonians 1:4

You are more than a conqueror. – Romans 8:37

You are victorious. – 1 Corinthians 15:57

You are beautiful. – Song of Solomon 4:7

You are blessed. – Psalm 84:4

You are God’s masterpiece. – Ephesians 2:10

Now that you have these reference points from the Bible stop disqualifying yourself and get out in life and enjoy the journey because God’s got your back and go fulfill the purpose, he has for you and live your dreams. http://www.miraclebook.net

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Victory Is Closer Than You Think

Victory Is Closer Than You Think

Unfortunately, a lot of people believe that if something is not quick and easy then they will pass on it and find the next thing. We live in a society that wants everything lightning fast and overnight victories. Well, I hate to burst your bubble but that is not the way things happen 99% of the time. Joel Osteen says, “we all live in a microwave society, but we serve a crock pot God.” Steve Harvey says, “There is no elevator to the top, you’ve got to take the stairs in the world of success.”

There is one set of people who know this very well and they are fishermen. They recognize that the art of fishing has no time boundaries. You can cast your line and catch a fish quickly or you can be there for several hours, possibly days if you go out several days in a row. They realize that ultimately victory will come but there is no timetable. http://www.miraclebook.net

Too many people give up on things too quickly when victory is closer than they think. If you are looking for success it is a disciplined, consistent, made-up mind that you must have. You cannot just give up and run away from everything that does not materialize at warp speed. You must be prepared to dig your heels in, snap on your seat belt and enjoy the journey. Victory Is Closer Than You Think.

Sight is a beautiful thing, but it can sometimes warp the way you think. If you don’t see your destination directly ahead of you then you decide to go a different route or worse, you become complacent and do nothing at all and accept that this is your plight in life. http://www.miraclebook.net

When you are watching, for instance, a football game you can clearly see when the team is on the one-yard line, and they are close to a touchdown. Where God is concerned it is not sight but faith that you must have and trust in God that he will bring you to the abundant life he has for you in his appointed time. Victory Is Closer Than You Think.

We all must acquired patience in life just like the fishermen have because most things in life we have to wait for: the birth of a baby, to board a plane and have it take off, to get a degree from school, a car to come out of a car wash, a promotion from work, a business to finally be in the green and out of the red which normally is at least five years in the making etc. There are a host of other things that I can list but you get my gist.

Don’t be so quick to give up because victory is closer than you think.

Jesus The Way Maker

Jesus The Way Maker

 

Do you wish you had your own personal Houdini? You know the great escape artist! How many situations have you been in during your journey of life and didn’t see a way out?

At one time or another we have all wished to have our own personal magician that we could whip out at those critical times when we don’t see a way out of a situation that either we created or was just sprung on us. Well, I have great news for you that person has been with you always and he is called Jesus The Way Maker.

There are many names for Jesus but that would be a blog for another time. However, no matter what situation or crisis you find yourself in just call on the name of Jesus and he will fix it. Now don’t get me wrong he may not fix it immediately or in the way you want it fixed but he will do what is best for you and his best is unmatched to anything you think you can do on your own. http://www.miraclebook.net

On this journey of life, we will all encounter challenges, trials, testing of all types but the good news is that Jesus already has your solution even before the problem arises and he will make a way out for you. The Bible says so, “No temptation regardless of its source has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance; but God is faithful to His word. He is compassionate and trustworthy, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability to resist, but along with the temptation he has in the past and is now and will always provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it without yielding and will overcome temptation with joy.” – 1 Corinthians 10:13.

We all have at one time, or another called on everybody to save us except the one person who can really help us, bail us out, and place our feet on sturdy ground and that is Jesus The Way Maker. For those of us who are daring like myself and will try almost anything once like (Octopus Salad) invest in trying the real thing. All of us if we will just place our faith and trust in Jesus will be on cruise control. “Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize him, and he will make your paths straight and smooth removing obstacles that block your way. – Proverbs 3:5-6. http://www.miraclebook.net

 

 

 

 

 

 

What Are You Expecting?

What Are You Expecting

 

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. – Psalm 5:3

Wait for and confidently expect the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord. – Psalm 27:14

Are you expecting surely goodness and mercy from the Lord with abundance or are you the type of person who expects nothing so just in case nothing happens you are not disappointed? Well, when you are not in expectation and hoping for great abundance in life guess what you have disappointed God! http://www.miraclebook.net

Jesus said, he came to give you life and life more abundantly.” The Bible says, “Now to Him who is able to carry out his purpose and do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams, according to His power that is at work within us.” – Ephesians 3:20.

So, if God is prepared to overwhelm you with his abundance why are you not expecting it? God wants you to dream big and pray boldly! If you are asking and praying for things that eventually with lots of hard work, you will be able to attain on your own you are insulting God. He wants to be involved in all areas of your life and wants to bless you tremendously. However, if you are going to ask and pray as a pauper you will receive as a pauper. http://www.miraclebook.net

 

God created this whole world and everything thing in it. There is nothing that he cannot do and no amount of provision that he can’t deliver to you. Start getting your hopes up. Dream bigger, believe for abundance in all areas of your life.

Reflect on the Disney movie “Aladdin” and start making your wishes and raise your level of expectation while going through this journey of life. Remember what the genie said when he came out of the bottle, “Your Wish Is My Command!”

 

 

The Rain Falls On The Just & The Unjust – Hold On

Are you the acrobatic type? Can you visualize yourself doing a high wire circus act? Or maybe hanging from the side of a cliff? Well, this is what you are doing when you are dealing with life’s tests, challenges, and uncertainty. What do you do when this happens? You hold on. The Rain Falls On The Just & The Unjust – Hold On

God never promises us crystal clear water and smooth sailing everyday of our lives. If Jesus had tribulation when he was here on earth what makes you think you will be exempt from them? You think to yourself I am a believer, I go to church regularly, I serve at church, I pay my tithes and give offerings. Spoiler alert, The Rain Falls On The Just & The Unjust.” https://www.amazon.com/Rain-Falls-Just-Unjust/dp/B0BQ59CRW8

In the Bible there was a woman by the name of Hannah whose womb was closed up and barren. Her husband loved her dearly, but he had another wife who was very fertile and was able to have baby after baby and she mercilessly taunted Hannah because she couldn’t have children. One day Hannah was at the temple and was crying and praying to God and said that if God gave her a son, she would care for him until he was old enough and then bring him to the temple and give him back to God to use as he chose. God heard her prayer and opened her womb and a year later she gave birth to the prophet Samuel. Hannah kept her word and God blessed her with four other children. Hannah kept the faith and held on and was blessed mightily. The Rain Falls On The Just & The Unjust – Hold On

Now here in modern day there is an actor named Trevor Donovan who also had to hold on tightly to his dream. Trevor always wanted to be an actor but every time he was in front of a camera he froze up and couldn’t read his lines. He got the job of a lifetime with the soap opera “Days of our Lives” with a three-year contract but was eventually fired because he would freeze and panic when he needed to read his lines. Just when he was about to give up on acting and give up his apartment in Los Angeles his agent called him and advised him that he secured a job with the show “90210”. Ever since that time Trevor’s career has just taken off and become very fruitful.

The Bible says in the book of Proverbs the book of Wisdom, “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” – Proverbs 24:10. As soon as adversity rears its ugly head most people want to scamper, run, and hide. Most of us don’t like to be outside of our comfort zone, but you will never receive all God has for you if you don’t stretch yourself. Remember what God tells us, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” – Isaiah 41:10. Hold On. The Rain Falls On The Just & The Unjust – Hold On

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christian Books – Donna Louis – Obedience

Christian Books – Donna Louis – Obedience

Obedient – submissive to the restraint or command of authority: willing to obey. – https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/obedient

Are you obedient and submissive to God? Well, if you are miracles will happen. Everyday we have the choice whether to be obedient to many things. If you are a driver you must be obedient to the traffic signs and signals. If you are an employee, you need to be obedient to your superiors or else you will be fired. There are many other examples but the biggest one of all is to be obedient to God. http://www.miraclebook.net

After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, we also go with thee. They went forth and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Therefore, that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, it is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes. As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus saith unto them, bring of the fish which ye have now caught. Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. – John 21:1-11. Christian Books – Donna Louis – Obedience

Now the above example clearly shows how obedience pays off. Jesus instructed the disciples to not only cast their nets but that they must cast them on the right side of the ship. If they didn’t obey and decided to cast the nets on the left side of the ship, they would never have gotten any fish. http://www.miraclebook.net

And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? He saith, yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, what thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, then are the children free. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. – Matthew 17:24-27. Christian Books – Donna Louis – Obedience

What was the obedience factor here? Jesus told Peter to take up the first fish. If Peter had decided to wait for a different fish, then the tax money would not have been received to pay tribute.

People who have dogs sometimes send them to obedience school to get trained when they are unruly. Obedience will bless your life, but you have to listen to that still small voice from God and obey.
