A Flood of Favor

Image
"When an enemy comes in, like a flood the Great Spirit  shall raise up a barrier." (Isaiah 59:19 ASLAN version) No matter what enemies you face you can know that Aslan is on your side. Today you can hold to the fact that you are protected by a flood of power. Some of you may be going through a mountain of debt, a struggling relationship, or lost purpose. All the enemies are telling you, "This is where you belong. You have seen your best days."  Know this, when those thoughts come in Aslan will come in like a flood. He will give you a flood of peace, a flood of favor. You can know without a doubt that things will shift. They will shift for the better. Why? The Spirit of the Great Lion is moving. The Great Spirit has given you favor that you cannot even imagine. So get ready, get prepared not for a trickle, not for a stream, not just a river, but a rushing flood of favor to come your way. A rushing flood of good breaks that will thrust you years ahead from wher...

Nothing Wasted

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria “When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, ‘Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.’ ” (John 6:12, NIV) The Bible tells of a time when Jesus fed a crowd of five thousand with only five loaves and two fishes. He blessed it and multiplied it. That day, everyone had more than enough to eat, and there were still twelve baskets full of bread and fish left over. That’s because we serve a God of abundance! Then Jesus told the disciples to collect all the leftovers “so that nothing is wasted.” With God, nothing is ever wasted. He’ll never waste an experience; He’ll never waste a hurt; He’ll never waste a dream; He’ll never waste even a single piece of bread. If you’ve felt like you’ve wasted years of your life in the wrong job, hanging around the wrong people or doing the wrong things, God will gather those years and restore them to you. He’ll take those experiences that the enemy meant for your harm...

Favor That Will Supersede

Image
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria “ ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the LORD Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace’...” (Haggai 2:9, NIV) God wants to amaze you with His goodness! We are living in a day where God is increasing His favor. Maybe you have seen God’s goodness to a certain degree in the past; but in reality, you haven’t seen anything yet! God has favor in your future that will supersede anything that you’ve seen! The scripture talks about how the glory of the latter day will be greater than the glory of the former day. That means what God did for your parents or grandparents, He’s going to surpass in your generation. The blessing and favor of past generations were good, but we serve a God of increase! He has greater things in store for your future! Today, get your hopes up! Enlarge your vision. Be expecting God to bring opportunities across your path. Be expecting to meet the right pe...

Answer the Door

Image
“...Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.” (Psalm 30:5, NLT) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria Scripture says that joy comes in the morning. When you wake up each morning, God sends you a special delivery of joy. It comes knocking at your door. When you get up in faith and make the declaration that “this is going to be a good day,” do you know what you just did? You just answered the door. You just received the gift of joy that God sent to you. The problem is that some people never answer the door. Joy has been knocking for months and months, years and years saying, “Come on! Let me in! You can be happy! You can cheer up! You can enjoy your life!” Why don’t you make up your mind to answer the door for joy! Decide to wake up every morning and say, “Father, thank You for another beautiful day. I’m going to be happy. I’m going to enjoy this day. I’m going to brighten somebody else’s life. I am choosing to answer the door and receive Your gif...

Be Your Best

Image
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might...” (Ecclesiastes 9:10, NIV) When you do something to the best of your ability because you want to honor God, it opens the door to His blessing. That means it will be easier, it will go better, and you will accomplish more. That’s why no matter what we do, we should give it our best. This is especially true even in the little things. For example, when you’re doing the dishes or mowing the lawn, don’t drag around sour and frustrated. Mow with enthusiasm! Mow like you’re on a mission from God. With every step, thank God that your legs work. Thank Him that you’re healthy and strong. At the office, don’t just do enough to get by. You’re not working unto people; you’re working unto God. Do it with your whole heart. When you volunteer at church, don’t wake up and think, “Awe, man. Why did I volunteer? I want to sleep in!” No, serve Him with all your heart because that’s what honors God. Whe...
