We are walking in today: Be Encouraged.
Deuteronomy 3:28 But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see. Be encouraged fiveamprayer we are taking new territory. Encourage is defined to inspire with hope, courage, or confidence. Judges 20:22 And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day. Be encouraged this is our time and season!! 2 Samuel 11:25 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him. We serve the Great I AM and that's enough encouragement in itself. Genesis 28:13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed. Genesis 46:3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation. Exodus 6:6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments. I AM will encourage you to stand on His word always. Exodus 6:8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD. Be encouraged!!! Isaiah 41:10-11 10) 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. 11) Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Fear not, fiveamprayer, be encouraged for I AM is with us! He upholds us with His right hand of righteousness! God will get the Glory!!!!
Sometimes you have gotta encourage yourself. God is directing this thing. We must be encouraged. God came to tell us, He will strengthen us. I AM comes to encourage us--don't give up in the fight. God is giving us wisdom, knowledge and understanding. The devil comes with attacks in our marriages, our finances and our children. We must continue to look to the Lord. It is He that keeps us while we are sleeping. He will fill His empty vessels, over and over. It is important what we say--Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Isaiah 57:19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him. The race is not given to the swift, we must endure until the end, fiveamprayer. Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. This is our time, this is our season. 2011 is the year of abundance! We are to expect the great from God. The relationship of our expectation from God is directed by our belief in His abilities. He is the great I AM, Jeremiah 32:17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee. Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. So if you believe all that I AM has told you, the only position you have is to sit in expectation. Similar to placing an order for food in a restaurant, once places then you sit back and wait for it. Because you believe that what you ordered will be delivered unto you. You can patiently wait on the Lord--Psalm 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. We have been praying the prayer of Jabez in expectation of God granting our request. So there is no question if it is available, or will it be done?--it is just a matter of when it will be delivered. Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. Fiveamprayer, we have our confidence in the right place. Psalm 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. Be encouraged! The Lord supplies all of our needs--we must seek the kingdom and His righteousness first. Thank You Lord for continuing to fill us with scripture. We will see and walk in the promised land, keep walking in this word. Like Job tells us, "thou He slays me, yet will I trust Him." Be encouraged, we serve a God who has never lost a battle. There is still power in the blood, call on Him, He will show up! Even when we get caught up in the fire, like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, we are not fearful for we have the fourth man in the fire with us! So many examples are all throughout the bible. Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Thank You Lord, for Your peace, it surpasses all understanding. We know that all things are possible by Your mighty hand. 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. We are more than conquerors, more than overcomers. Encourage yourself. Shake yourself this morning. Shake off depression and doubt, replace it with encouragement. Matthew 18:18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Some of us are in a battle, we win every time! Hallelujah! God has come this week to give us more strength and light in the battle. Our God can make a way out of no way, nothing is impossible nor too hard for Him! Don't worry about what CNN says, we serve a God that makes a way, out of no way. Be encouraged by the great I AM! Get away from naysayers. He has given us power to speak a word over ourselves. God will not fail, nor forsake us. We are walking by faith, not by sight. It is He who strengthens us, renews us, and refreshes us--we have everything we need!! 2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God. Fiveamprayer, don't get caught up in what the world says, look to God and God only. We shall get all that God has promised us! Do you know who you serve?! Do you know who your Father is?! Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. He makes the crooked places straight. He is our Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Tsidkenu, Jehovah Rapha, Emmanuel. He is always right there and right on time. The race is not given unto the swift but to those that endure until the end. Fiveamprayer, be encouraged to endure until the end!! Wait on the Lord. We are waiting on You, trusting in Your word, Lord. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Praise Him in advance, this shows our expectation of the hand of the Lord moving. No one else gets the credit but God--because no one else can do what our Lord can do! Walk in expectation of greatness from the great I AM! We lift up fiveamprayer, to be encouraged. No matter the situation or what it looks like. Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. We lift up prayer requests, those known and unknown. Have them to be encouraged, Lord, in Your word--no matter the situation. We come this morning to ask for forgiveness--we didn't always seek You in our situations, we sometimes turned to the ways of the world. Those things got us caught up in depression. We want to let go of the things of the world and hold fast to Your word. Thank You for forgiving us, for when You forgive there is no condemnation. Thank You for casting our sins into the sea remembered no more. Thank You for casting our sins away, as far as the east is from the west.
We write in the precious blood: 1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
Welcome to the overflow...
Is that prayer encouragement enough?! The same God who answered Jabez's prayer is the the God who is answering our prayers. This prayer is the same prayer, that we have been praying everyday. We know that You will grant us, that which we requested. We are encouraged. Pick up your sword and start swinging. We can walk in, Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. We are more than overcomers, more than conquerors because of who lives on the inside of us! 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. The Lord has not given us the spirit of fear--speak His word in your situation!! It is the Lord that creates the fruit of our lips, there is life and death in our words. Encourage yourself, fiveamprayer! Lord send Your anointing. God, some of us feel pressed on every side, we know that You create a way of escape for us. Thank You Lord! Get up this morning and shake yourself, fiveamprayer! Shake that stuff off of you! Our Father will bring us out. This is our season. As Pastor Anitha says, "this is our finest hour, we have been graced for every test, every challenge, every situation that comes our way. We have even been graced for our next level!" Encourage yourself, fiveamprayer!!! Shake that stuff off of you--you will go through the fire, but will come out not smelling of smoke. Encourage yourself. Be encouraged, you are almost out of that thing!! Don't sit there in depression, we can do all things through Christ which strenghtens us! Encourage yourself, I can feel God is loosing some things in our lives. Because we are gonna stand on His word, not on what it looks like. Get away from the naysayers, stay in His word--it will encourage you! Tell yourself, all things are possible. Hallelujah! Thank You God. He is whispering in each of our ears, "be encouraged." Such a gentle, peaceful rest of God on us this morning!! Be encouraged--you ain't seen nothing yet. Check us out on Facebook, it will encourage you. Have a blessed day!
