Do not lose hope, do not give up! Know that the answer is on the way. - Bob Cornell

Ask God to give you knowledge of who He is. - Michael Youssef

Anxiety is a monster. It can cripple you or make you act in ways that you would never otherwise act. It causes you to believe the most incredible of lies, and can even keep you from the things you care about the most. - Kenneth Reid

Anxiety even has the ability to make you forget the things you know to be true. - Kenneth Reid

What makes anxiety so powerful is the thing that should conceivably make it powerless: namely, the unknown future. We dont know what’s going 2happen, yet we predict a gloomy future. We convince ourselves that particular events will take place which rarely do. - Kenneth Reid

v2021_0219 Page 10

That’s why Jesus tells us, “Don’t worry about these things, saying [to yourself], ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs” (Matthew 6:31-32) - Kenneth Reid

Keeping a prayer journal gives you something tangible to see that God hears you when you pray. Our God always hear us. And He encourages us to “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). - Kenneth Reid

Notice Joseph's reasoning in Genesis 39:9 - “How then can I do this great wickedness, & sin against God?” His main concern was what God would think. He understood that he was accountable 2God & that the fulfillment of his dream was completely dependent upon God. - Andrew Wommack

Joseph was able to maintain his integrity because he was not concerned with what man thought. He did not consider the benefits or consequences of his actions based on what Potiphar, his master, might do. - Andrew Wommack

Be God-Dependent. Joseph always knew that his gift to interpret dreams came from God. He never took credit and always focused on giving God the glory for all that he did. – Beliefnet

v2021_0219 Page 12

When God honors us with success and prosperity, we mustn’t forget to first honor Him and honor others. Even though Joseph was sold into slavery by his family that didn’t stop him from blessing them in a time of desperate need. – Beliefnet

Throughout his journey Joseph learned to have humility. Although God would one day lift him up, he would first have to lower himself and be humble. How many times in your own life has pride been a stumbling block? – Beliefnet

A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone. - Billy Graham

If you tell God 'no' because He won't explain the reason He wants you to do something, you are actually hindering His blessing. But when you say 'yes' to Him, all of heaven opens to pour out His goodness and reward your obedience. - Charles Stanley

Sin deafens our ears to the will of God. - Charles Stanley

The good news is that God wants you to know that your death is not the end but the beginning of what He has planned as a much greater and glorious afterlife. It's eternity with Him, living in His presence, enjoying all that He intends for you to have. - Tony Evans

Pastor Adrian Rogers said, “If Satan can’t make u bad, he’ll make u busy.” Busy is a tool that Satan uses 2 get us off track & 2 steal our time. Sometimes, it doesn’t take blatant sin 2 rob us of what God has for us. Sometimes we miss it because we fill our lives with busyness.

Father, God, Help me invest my time wisely. Help me to be a good steward of the one thing I cannot get more of…time. I want to make investments in your Kingdom. Help me discern those activities that waste my time. In Jesus’ name. Amen. - New Horizon Church

Satan is a liar. He may try to use the Bible to plant doubt in your mind, just like he did when he temped Jesus. That’s why it is so vital that you are well versed in the Word of God. Answer Satan the same way Jesus did, “It is written...” - Bishop Keith A. Butler

Materialism Is Easy to Decry and Hard to Avoid - by Kathy Keller

https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/materialism-easy-decry-hard-avoid/

Christmas reminds us that God is “able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20).

The miraculous birth of Christ is proof that there’s no obstacle too great that God can’t overcome. God became one of us in order to seek and save us – what an amazing truth! – Hope for the Heart

If you’re not moving forward in your relationship with Jesus Christ, you’re naturally going backward. You’re either progressing or regressing, but there’s no standing still in the Christian life. – Greg Laurie

One of the signs of the last days, according to 1 Timothy 4:1, is that some would fall away from the faith. In that verse, Paul tells us, “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith & follow deceiving spirits & things taught by demons”. - Greg Laurie

A true believer may make mistakes, but they will ultimately return to God. And if they do not return to God, then they never really were a true believer. - Greg Laurie

You should read the Bible as if your life depended on it—because it does! - Greg Laurie

If you want to be a growing Christian, a Christian who is moving forward, you must read, study, and love God’s Word. Scripture is filled with admonitions to know and obey His commandments. - Greg Laurie

Jesus modeled the correct way to answer the temptations of the enemy. There in the wilderness, each time Satan came at Him, Jesus responded with Gods’ Word, saying, “It is written...” - Greg Laurie

Jesus tells us in the book of Mark exactly how faith operates. It starts with a man cashing seed into the ground. – Gregory Dickow

It doesn’t make a difference what the hard circumstance are in your life. When you sow your seed (the seed of God’s Word and the seed of your finances), God says, “I can work with that. Seed is the currency of the Kingdom.” – Gregory Dickow

People whom God has called are those who have responded to the gospel by believing and receiving Christ’s death as payment for their sins and surrendering their lives to Him as their Lord. – James Merritt

So the cure for worry is humbling ourselves before God, casting our cares on Him, and trusting Him. When we are able to believe and say, "God, I trust You," it will literally change our lives. - Joyce Meyer

Jesus said it’s one or the other. He said if you’re not on the narrow road that leads to eternal life, then you must be on the broad road that leads to destruction. – Billy Graham

God’s grace and God’s mercy was extended to me and to you. And now I am a recipient of that which I did not deserve. – Billy Graham

God says, “I’ll forgive your sins. I’ll wipe out the past. I’ll start all over with you if you will come to the cross and give your life to my Son, Jesus Christ.” – Billy Graham

God calls you to turn away from sin and to receive Jesus Christ by faith as your Lord and Savior. You can do that right now. You’ll begin a relationship with God, and He promises that you will be forgiven and become a completely new person. – Billy Graham

Supposing you have tried and failed again and again. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call “failure” is not the falling down, but the staying down. - Mary Pickford

The Bible doesn't change; it changes us. If we disagree with something we read in Scripture, it's not the Bible that needs to change—it's us. We must reexamine our opinions and change them in the light of God's unchanging Word.

Face your fears with faith. – Robert Jeffress

God’s grace is more than enough to help us rise above the fears that grip our hearts. – Robert Jeffress

It's true, the Church will be raptured before the final seven years of Earth's history, but during that final seven years, many people will come to faith in Christ, but they will pay a terrible price to do so. - Robert Jeffress

Christians will not be here to experience the great tribulation under the Antichrist. - Robert Jeffress

We're living in prophetic times and seeing prophecy fulfilled right before our eyes. - David Jeremiah

As wars and dissension among groups of people begin to escalate, we know it is a sign of Christ's return. The book of Revelation tells us that the Tribulation period is filled with war that will escalate until the entire world is involved. - David Jeremiah

v2021_0219 Page 22

Though we do not know the day or hour of Christ's appearing for His Church, we do know it could be today! Why do I say that? Because nothing remains on God's prophetic calendar except the unfolding of end-time events, beginning with the Rapture of the Church. - David Jeremiah

God's people can look forward to a "happily ever after" ending. Prophecy assures us Christ will come to rule and reign forever. When we don't fear tomorrow, we can have confidence today. Knowing God's prophetic story helps us face each day. - David Jeremiah

The sure knowledge of Christ's appearing motivates us to keep ourselves pure. We will give Him an account for our words and actions, perhaps even today! - David Jeremiah

Our world is full of reasons to despair. Many people are overwhelmed by the chaotic events happening all around them, but prophecy offers good news to those who are battling discouragement. - David Jeremiah

Don’t overreact to media hype and spin. They learned a long time ago that sensationalism sells, and they will play it for all it’s worth. – John Paul Jackson

God is not caught by surprise. In His omniscience He has been preparing you for this very hour. You will not fail. – John Paul Jackson

God is your Source – not your bank account, not your 401(k), not your gold, not your stock portfolio. – John Paul Jackson

You have a choice: You can live your life by principles or by pressures. Those who “fail” in life usually keep their eyes fixed on their current problems and lose sight of their life principles. – John Paul Jackson

As things change, it is vital to remind yourself of the principles you live your life by. Never lose sight of them during challenging times. They will help keep you focused. – John Paul Jackson

The difficulties we’re facing now may be God’s wake-up call to remind you of your original vision and purpose and why He made you the way He made you. – John Paul Jackson

If you have no vision, your only other option is to go backward or decay. – John Paul Jackson

v2021_0219 Page 23

You should always be looking for original and innovative ways to engage the needs of others. Needs are going to abound, so ask God for a solution to those needs, and you’ll succeed when your secular peers are failing. – John Paul Jackson

The Lord wants to give innovative ideas and inventions to those who are close to Him. – John Paul Jackson

Set aside time to listen to Him. Prayer is great, but if all we do is make our needs known to God, it will be very difficult to listen. God just might have something He would like to say to you. – John Paul Jackson

Tough times are not about what happens to you – they’re about what you do with what happens to you. Keep believing that God will use everything you go through for His Kingdom purpose. Tough times prove our faith. – John Paul Jackson

Your counsel to others should give them hope. Hope that helps them discover a God who knows their potential, a God who’s taking them on a journey of discovering new adventures and possibilities they may have never thought about. – John Paul Jackson

In addition, your counsel to others should give them hope that aids them in making different choices than they may have previously made, and hope that allows their creativity to spring forward when others around them are in despair. – John Paul Jackson

God will use you to deposit hope in others. God looked through all of the future and chose to place you here for such as time as this. He birthed you, created you, shaped you for such a time as this. – John Paul Jackson

What is coming is in no way meant to say God is not a God of Love. He is, in fact, Love in its highest form. One cannot be loved by anyone more than God loves them. – John Paul Jackson

When you let people upset you, you are giving up your power. – Joel Osteen

However, in God’s love He also chastens. In the greatness of His love He must chasten all activity that will lead to destruction. His grace is pure and He has given the world much grace. – John Paul Jackson

We do not always understand the ways of God, however, we can be assured that God knows how to balance judgment, mercy, and grace. – John Paul Jackson

Those who genuinely are walking with God, through Jesus the Messiah, will see marvelous sights and encounter mysteries of Heaven as God miraculously provides. – John Paul Jackson

A change of heart must and will occur in this nation. Evil will become more obvious and righteousness will be tried and tested. We will have to make a choice – either darkness and evil or God’s light. There will be little wiggle-room between the two. – John Paul Jackson

v2021_0219 Page 24

The Christian founding of this nation is what makes it different from every other nation other than Israel. Other nations may have become Christian in their focus, but none were initially formed with Christianity as the core of its DNA. – John Paul Jackson

How we live opens or closes doors for Satan to legally afflict us and potentially rule over us via leaders who do not know the ways of God. – John Paul Jackson

The basic principle is that sin separates us from God. Since Adam and Eve through today, the actions of humankind have given room for the enemy to strike and attack us. – John Paul Jackson

The only legal way the enemy has access to us is by the hand of God lifting. This results in there being a space between Him and us and that space increases as we distance ourselves from Him and His ways. – John Paul Jackson

Anytime there is an increased distance between God and humanity, it leaves room for attack to come and for principalities and powers of the air (rulers of darkness) to take up residence. – John Paul Jackson

The longer dark powers reside over an area, the more the people begin to call right – wrong, and wrong – right. The lines between right and wrong, as well as the holy and profane, are becoming blurred. – John Paul Jackson

In this nation, the way to God through Jesus and the Cross is no longer seen as an absolute. In fact, absolutes have become touted as “intolerance” first in the world and now even within the Church. The absolutes of heaven and eternity are clearly evaporating. – John Paul Jackson

Throughout Scripture, when crises hit the people of God, they turned their hearts to Him, and He heard and took action. – John Paul Jackson

Give it time. When God heals something, He doesn’t just patch it up. He makes it stronger than it was before. – Touched by an Angel

If you don't compare yourself with others anymore because you know we are all equally loved by God, equally sinful before God, and equally savable through Christ, and equally able to bring glory to God, then you won't have low self-esteem and you won't have the temptation to be proud any more. – Kendall Faull

To remove pride, just stop comparing yourself with others. – Kendall Faull

A person with a healthy self-esteem who is happy to be what God made them to be can have a healthy self-esteem because they know they are as good as anyone. God loves them as much as anyone. Jesus died for them too. They are washed clean as clean can be in Christ. – Kendall Faull

Those with a healthy self-esteem don't have to measure up to others. They don't foolishly compare themselves with others. They use "sober judgment" and by "testing themselves" against what God gave them not what God gave someone else. – Kendall Faull

Those with a healthy self-esteem can take a healthy pride in what God is doing through them by his grace without fear of not being as good as someone else because they are not comparing themselves with others like a proud fool. – Kendall Faull

They have a healthy self-esteem because they know God loves them and made them in his image and through Christ has made them holy and a new creation. – Kendall Faull

Another name for low self-esteem is pride. Bragging, boasting and the easily offended nature of those overly defensive is not caused by too much self-confidence but a lack of self-confidence. – Kendall Faull

v2021_0219 Page 28

If they were truly confident in who they were they would not have to brag, boast and be self defensive. They wouldn't have to tear others down to build themselves up.- A person who is sure of themselves doesn't have to "prove" anything. – Kendall Faull

Bragging and boasting comes from a person who is unconfident and so he/she over-compensates with bragging, boasting, and looking down on others faults while exalting themselves in their own eyes. – Kendall Faull

Good self esteem is when you realize you are created in God's image and therefore of great value. When you realize you are just as good as anyone else and don't need to be ashamed of your mistakes because everyone else has made them too and because God has forgiven them in Christ. – Kendall Faull

Good self esteem is when you realize you can take pride in your actions at a particular time not because you did more than someone else or accomplished more than others but because you did the best you could with the gifts and opportunities God gave you at that moment. – Kendall Faull

Bad self-esteem is when you put yourself on a scale and measure yourself against others. This makes you feel inferior to some and superior to others. – Kendall Faull

Good pride is when you are proud of someone else and what God is doing through them. – Kendall Faull

Good pride is when you are proud of yourself without comparing yourself with others. – Kendall Faull

Bad pride is when you think one person is better than another and take pride in yourself over others by who you have associated with. – Kendall Faull

10 Essential Attitudes for a Good Quality of Life. – Charles Stanley https://www.intouch.org/Read/Blog/10-essential-attitudes-for-a-good-quality-of-life

Resist panic. This is not to say there is no reason to be concerned... But panic and fear are not from God. Calm and hope are. And it is possible to respond to a crisis seriously and deliberately while maintaining an inner sense of calm and hope. - James Martin

Don’t lend credence to lies or rumors, or give in to panic. Panic, by confusing and frightening you, pulls you away from the help God wants to give you. It is not coming from God. – James Martin

Whenever we feel overwhelmed by the chaos and difficulty of life, we can turn to God in prayer for peace and serenity. – Pastor Gene Whitehouse

In this time of uncertainty, fear, seclusion and separation from what we term ‘normal,’ our human solution is to ‘handle it ourselves.’ But that is not what our Bible and the Lord tell us. Turning to the Lord should be our first response, not our last resort. – Pastor Gene Whitehouse

In Philippians 4:6, the Bible tells us, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

How we can pray for peace is simple. First, honestly declare your belief and trust in God as your Lord and Savior. Then make your request of peace known to God in whatever personal sense you need. – Pastor Gene Whitehouse

As I think about my own life, through COVID-19, I have been reminded that I do not control my life. COVID-19 has shown me that I am utterly and completely dependent on the living God. If I think I am in control of things, that is merely a pleasant illusion. – Pastor Gene Whitehouse

God will never leave us. In suffering, that promise becomes exceedingly precious. – Vaneetha Rendall Risner

The assurance that God is always with us can take away all our fears. When we walk through the

and a strategy. However, the truth also is that in Christ you can win and overcome all of his schemes. - Clarence L. Haynes Jr

When Satan attacks, and he will, then gear up, fight back, and remember two things:

You are more than a conqueror, and the Holy Spirit who is in you, is greater than Satan who is in the world. He will attack. But by God’s grace and strength, you will fight back and you will win. - Clarence L. Haynes Jr

Trials and tragedies are an inescapable part of life. Trials and tragedies are an important test in

life. Trials and tragedies are an invaluable teacher in life. – Jeff Schreve

And the Lord shall cause His glorious voice to be heard, and you shall have a song in the night… Come to the mountain of the Lord. See His glory and His might…

He’s the mighty one of Israel. The mighty One of Israel. His voice shall heard in the power of His

Word. The mighty One of Israel.

The eyes of the blind shall be opened and they’ll see. The ears of the deaf shall hear. The lame man shall leap as a heart. The tongue of the dumb shall sing.

The Lord shall cause His glorious beauty to be seen. The desert shall bloom and rejoice. Say to

them that are fearful of heart, be strong and listen to His voice.

Jesus said that His sheep hear His voice. He knows them, and the sheep follow Him…

Jesus, you are the song in my heart…

Speak Lord, for your servant hears…

I love God. If I love God, I also love Israel, because God has not cease and never cease to love Israel…

Every Word of God proves true…

You only have one source. You only have one provider. That is God. – Tony Evans

He uses many different resources and mechanisms through which He makes the provision. But never confuse the resources that He uses as your source. When you do, you’ve made your resource your god. – Tony Evans

We need to remember that the resources will always vary. You might be out of a job today. That

does not mean that the Lord can’t provide you an opportunity for tomorrow. – Tony Evans

If one person in your life doesn’t come through, He’s got other people He can use to provide you with what you need. – Tony Evans

You can worry, or you can pray. The cure for worry is not worrying less. It is praying more. – Bob Hostetler https://www.guideposts.org/faith-and-prayer/prayer-stories/power-of-prayer/you-can-worry-or-you-can-pray?fbclid=IwAR1D1m6CE_zJ5Oc3tcDzmKrWOG1USXRk0y7FFhpADLSgOgzQbUTQO2QQaw4

Worry is simply “negative prayer.” Or, if you prefer, “anti-prayer.” It is the opposite of praying. You

can worry, or you can pray, but you can’t do both. Worry negates prayer. Prayer cancels worry. – Bob Hostetler

The antidote to anxiety or worry, in every situation, is to present your requests to God. To put it

even more briefly, “Don’t worry, pray.” – Bob Hostetler

God, thank you for Your invitation to cast all my cares on You, knowing that You care for me (1 Peter 5:7). – Bob Hostetler

Help me to trust You to supply all my needs according to my riches in Christ Jesus (Philippians

4:19). – Bob Hostetler

What are your top worries today? In those situations, “by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7). – Bob Hostetler

We are not always aware of the challenges and dangers ahead of us, but God is, and He will

prepare and fortify us to that we can walk in His grace through these challenges. – Marilyn Hickey

Nothing needs to be added to what Jesus did on the cross. Placing your faith in the completed work of Calvary is enough to be saved. – Mike Muzzerall

Since the devil is “a liar and the father of lies,” we desperately need to fill our hearts with the Word

of God. His truth will refresh and refocus the weariest of warriors. – Jeff Schreve

As we spend time reading and meditating on the Word, we begin to see our circumstances from His perspective. We gain encouragement and we remind ourselves that He is in complete control. – Jeff Schreve

It is not about the size of your ability – it’s about the size of your God. – Lynette Hagin

I have new life in Christ – my heart is made new, I have a clean slate, and I’m set apart for God’s

Whatever it is, God is able to provide for you. There is nothing impossible for God. No matter what your problem – big or small – God can answer that prayer. – cbn

We can defeat Satan’s attacks when we learn to recognize his schemes. – Robert Jeffress

Satan’s blueprint for your demise usually involves three strategies: discourage you from

worshipping God, distract you from serving God, and deceive you into disobeying God. – Robert Jeffress

Satan may tell us to go back, give up, stand down – but I am here to tell you that God is saying to

us, “Look up, be courageous, and press on!” – Michael Youssef

When you become a Christian, you die to your old way of living, and you are raised to a brand-new way of life. – Robert Jeffress

The same power that raised Jesus from the grave is at work in your life today, giving you the

ability to say no to sin and yes to God. – Robert Jeffress

God’s Word and God’s ways are more than able to strengthen and protect your home and loved ones. – Jentezen Franklin

God placed Jesus’ righteousness on every one who has received Him as Lord and Savior. – cbn

When we feel fear or begin to have fearful thoughts, we should pray. – Joyce Meyer

God moves on our behalf when we focus on Him instead of our fears. – Joyce Meyer

Thoughts or feelings of fear are nothing more than the enemy’s attempt to distract us from God

and His plans for our lives. – Joyce Meyer

We may feel fear at various times in our lives, but we can trust God and not allow that fear to control us. – Joyce Meyer

The Lord is saying, “Refuse to fear! No matter what you see, feel, or hear.” The Lord is on your

side and He is looking out for you. – Aquila Nash

God’s wrath is not angry retribution against those who have offended God. Rather it is his righteous judgment against those who do evil. God is righteous. And he will judge us according to His righteous standard.- Ed Jarrett

All of humanity is deserving of punishment. And a righteous God would correctly give us what we

have earned. But God is also love. And he has provided a way of redemption; faith in the atoning blood of his Son.- Ed Jarrett

America is in crisis. The spiritual battle waging for the heart of the nation can only be won by

The world is changing at such a rapid pace. Sometimes this can cause us to worry and doubt our faith. I want to encourage you by telling you that even though times change, our God never does! – Brother Dave

God is greater. He gives us the power to live courageously, boldly, fearlessly in this life, when

many things that surround us would tell us to be afraid. His truth whispers strong and sure to the deepest core of our spirits. - Debbie McDaniel

"Rapture Ready" - by Anne Graham Lotz

Faith allows power and authority to come to you from Heaven. Faith opens you up to everything that God wants to give you. – John Paul Jackson

Faith promotes soundness of mind. – John Paul Jackson

Fear is a spirit, but God has not given you a spirit of fear. That spirit is from darkness. - John Paul

Jackson

Fear makes you afraid of things to change. – John Paul Jackson

Change to someone who is afraid means something bad is going to happen. – John Paul Jackson

Fear opens the door up for the enemy to attack us. – John Paul Jackson

Fear operates the same way that faith does, only in reverse. – John Paul Jackson

Fear removes power from you. What God has given you to operate, fear depletes. – John Paul Jackson

Whatever we are afraid of, we empower. – John Paul Jackson

Fear will not exist if you don’t believe something will hurt you. – John Paul Jackson

Out of weakness we can be made strong. That means you are not hopeless in this. - John Paul

Jackson

God will make me everything I need to be. – John Paul Jackson

This world is under the influence of Satan, and his influence is powerful. Many people are hostile toward Christ. We may be treated unjustly, maligned, or even persecuted for our faith. – Charles Stanley

Do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled. – Charles Stanley

Ultimately our persecutors will fail. Even if the Lord allows them to kill our bodies, they cannot

destroy our souls because we belong to Christ. – Charles Stanley

And when we do what’s right, but suffer as a result, God’s grace encompasses us an strengthens us to patiently endure. – Charles Stanley

When we finally arrive in heaven, we’ll discover that our momentary suffering has produced for us

an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison. – Charles Stanley

We should always be ready to explain to them why we trust the Lord. Although we must be bold with the truth of the gospel, our attitude toward those who hurt us should be gentle and respectful. – Charles Stanley

Those who give themselves to sin will die both physically and eternally, whereas Christians

are assured of eternal life. – Crossway

Jesus is the only “way” to God and he alone can provide access to God. – Crossway

The second coming of Jesus Christ will be in two phases. First, He will come for believers, both living and dead, in the “rapture”. In this view, the rapture—which is the transformation and catching up of all Christians, dead or alive, to meet Christ in the air. – Billy Graham

Second, after a period of 7 years of tribulation on earth, Christ will return to the earth with His

church, the saints who were raptured. He will be victorious over His enemies & will reign on the earth for 1,000 years (the millennium) with His saints, the church. – Billy Graham

Begin your journey to peace. God loves you and has a plan for you! Here's the problem: people

This word is for those who are faced with closed doors—it may be one closed door in particular.

And with it, there has been a sense of being held up, or held back. If you can relate to this, hear God saying, “Look up! For the windows of Heaven are open above you.” – Helen Calder

Heaven’s open windows are more powerful than earth’s closed doors. – Helen Calder

A door may be closed in front of you, but your Father has a supply above you! – Helen Calder

This is your time to rise up and say, “There may be a closed door before me, but there’s an open

Heaven above me!” – Helen Calder

Today, know that you have power to overcome your enemy. Every threat is being cast down at your word, declared in Jesus’ Name! – Helen Calder

God knows. By His grace, we will continue to see Him draw people from darkness to light. From

despair to victorious living. From fear and doubt to joyful freedom! – Michael Youssef

Fear is a weapon of our enemy, Satan, who uses it to keep us from moving forward and enjoying the future God has for us. – Joyce Meyer

Many times we wait for the feelings of fear to go away before stepping out to take action.

However, when the Lord tells us to “fear not”, He’s not saying we will never feel fear. He is telling us not to allow fear to control us & prevent us from moving forward. – Joyce Meyer

One of the first lies the devil will try to tell you is that he doesn’t exist, and next he’ll try to get you

to believe there’s nothing you can do about him. – Joyce Meyer

The coming of the Lord is closer than ever before. God’s Word clearly says that the last days will be difficult. We are seeing the prophecy of 2 Timothy 3:1 fulfilled right before our eyes! – Jeff Schreve

The nations of the world are in a stir &continue to suffer unrest. However, theLord sees it all. It is

in times like these that we need to hold fast to theWord ofGod. It is in times like these that we trust Jesus to make the crooked places straight in our lives. – Aquilla Nash

The world in which we live today is utterly depraved. People have rejected God from their lives

and from the public square. We’re living in a time where people would rather hear a lie than the truth. – Jeff Schreve

Refuse to allow the news of the day to mandate the way you feel. The nations are in a stir. Satan

knows his time is short. – Aquilla Nash

What is the Rapture? The rapture is the doctrine that at the return of Christ, all believers will be caught up (i.e., “raptured”) to meet the Lord in the air. The bodies of dead believers will be resurrected, and all believers, living and dead, will be glorified. – Biola

God’s bigger than any of these problems, national or personal, and He will bring something good out of everything that you are going through if you place your hope and faith in Him. – Tony Evans

A seed must be broken before a plant comes from it. Water must break before a baby is born. A

stallion must be broken before a person can ride it. In other words, to get to the core of a thing – its benefit – a breaking often occurs. – Tony Evans

In order for believers to have kingdom encounters with the living God, they often must be broken

first. Broken of independence, pride, self-reliance. Without brokenness, they won’t experience seeing Him with their own eyes. – Tony Evans

Sometimes God will let you be put in a death-grip where you feel so burdened with pain and

problems that you feel like giving up. When God puts you in that situation, He is trying to break you for the purposes of remaking you. – Tony Evans

None of the struggles you endure are wasted by God. They are part of the process by which He

transforms you from the inside out. – Tony Evans

U loveGod but there’s a giant in your life that’s hurting & causing u problems. You’ve tried this&that &still haven’t gained victory over it. U cannot defeat it on your own. The giant in your life will go down in only 1 way, &that’s by the power of the HolySpirit. –JimmySwaggart

The scripture says, “His sling was in his hand.” The sling represented David’s faith. “And he drew

near to the Philistine,” faith always draws near to its problem. Unbelief runs away, but faith draws near. – Jimmy Swaggart

And David took out that one stone – one smooth stone; it doesn’t take the Lord much. It only took

the Lord one stone – that’s all it took. David put it in that sling and began to whirl it. Remember, that was a Holy Ghost stone. – Jimmy Swaggart

And that stone hit Goliath right in the middle of his head – a symbol of what Jesus would do to the

devil at Calvary’s cross. – Jimmy Swaggart

If there’s a giant in your life, pray this prayer and believe that victory is going to be yours. That giant will fall, and today is the day. Whatever your bondage might be, the Lord will set you free… – Jimmy Swaggart
