God Has The Winning Hand!

James 1:12; Revelation 2:9-11; Psalm 35:27; Matthew 11:12

We are walking in today:  God Has The Winning Hand!

 James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.  Don't worry about your situation--God has the winning hand.  Remember when you sat down to play a game a Spades, the cards are dealt and it is you and your partner against the enemy.  You know that God will always send someone to help you.  He always, sent them out two by two.  Moses and Joshua, Ruth and Naomi.  God will always send some help.  You pick up your hand--not one spade, all face cards. Then you look to your partner and ask, "how many are we going for?  Because I don't' have none."  They reply, "we are going for 10, let's run a Boston."  Every card that the enemy is playing against you, don't worry--you are trump tight!  Every trap--trump tight!  How about we tell the enemy to lay his hand down!  We are more than conquerors, more than overcomers!  Revelation 2:9-11 9) I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. 10) Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. 11) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.  Ask Job, God has the winning hand!  Ask the 3 Hebrew boys facing a fiery furnace, God has the winning hand.  Ask Daniel, David, the 12 children of Israel, Paul, John the Baptist--ask Abraham, the father of faith--God has the winning hand!  Then ask Jesus--God has the winning hand!  Never fold--you are holding a winning hand.  Why thrown in your cards?!  Psalm 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.  Game over, devil!  We win in the name of Jesus!  Cause our Father has the master plan!!  Our Father has the winning hand.  Our Father has already overcome the world!  Our Father's grace is sufficient.  The only Begotten, shed His blood on Calvary and guess what?!  It is winning--there is still power in the blood!  Don't fret or fear this morning, sometimes, because of the cards you have been dealt you think that it is all over, there ain't no way to win, no way to come out of this one.  Guess what!?  God came by this morning to let you know that He has the winning hand!  He is on our side, because we have chosen Him!  If God be for us who can stand against us!?  When you sit down to play this game, let the enemy know, I got the Lord on my side!  Let the enemy know who you are with!!  We are trump tight!  Every card that we play, we are playing to win!  Because our Father did not give us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and  sound mind.  God has the winning hand.  Ask Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, they came out of the fiery furnace not smelling of smoke nor singed.  It is because, God has the winning hand!  Remember that in your marriage, don't worry about it--you will win, in the end!  In your finances, you will win in the end!  Because God has the master plan--He knows the plans that He has for you, thoughts of good not of evil to give us an expected end.  Not a surprising end, not an unprepared end, but an end that was planned and expected!!  Wait on the Lord, He has the winning hand!  Fiveamprayer, don't throw your cards down--He has the winning hand!  It is your name that is engraved on His hands, He knows the number of hairs on your head, He knows the end from the beginning--He has the winning hand!  Don't worry about it, we walk by faith and not by sight.  Trust Him, lean on Him, when the devil comes in like a flood, He lifts up a standard against him.  Are you on the standard?  Or trying to swim in the flood?  Get on the standard, His word will never fail nor can it be reversed!!  Where do you stand?  Who is on the Lord's side?  God always wins!  Fiveamprayer, we are to put on the whole armor, He covers us--He is more than enough!  God has the winning hand--in every test, trial and tribulation.  He is the one who makes a way out of no way, He wins every time!!  God has the winning hand!  He has already overcome the world, never lost a battle, fight or court case--I know that we are gonna win!!  We are crossing over that Jordan!  He gave us the winning hand when Jesus died on Calvary.  Call on Him!  He has the winning hand!  Get up to fight another day!  Every card that you lay down is trump tight!  The God of the impossible, Alpha and Omega--that is who we serve!!  So, fiveamprayer, don't worry or fret!  God has the winning hand!  Turn it over to Him, He will bring you through!  He will win the battle for us!  We have learned to count it all joy!  Because God has the winning hand!  Like when you play cards, it is nothing like sitting down and thinking, I don't know if we can win and your partner Ruth says, 'your God shall be my God.  So come on and play this hand that you have been dealt.'  Because God has the winning hand.  Every card that you lay down, joker, the 2 of  spades, every card is a winning card!    God has the winning hand!  He will show up with favor and grace.  Stay rooted, quiet and still.  He is working it out for you!  Be still and be quiet.  You have a winning hand in your marriage, singleness and on your job.  Nobody can come against God.  He is covering us like never before!  The devil wants you to think that you are defeated--the enemy is still a liar!  God will show up at the last second to be sure that He is the only one who gets the glory!!  Nobody can do what He can do--don't worry about the cards that you have been dealt!  Hold on to what you got, He has the winning hand!  Look at Job, he had lost everything, it looked like he was losing--God gave him a 1000 fold return.  God has the winning hand!  Look at Joseph, he told his brothers about his dream, was sold into slavery, later he saved them during a famine.  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stood with a fiery furnace before them telling the king that they would never bow to him, fire or not.  It looked like the game was over--but when they looked in the fire after casting them in, they saw the 4th man who looked like the Son of God!  God has the winning hand.  Look at the children of Israel, running from the Egyptians and facing the Red Sea--God had them to cross over on dry land with the sea split in half.  God has the winning hand.  They took Jesus, and whipped Him all night long and nailed Him to a cross, but He got up on the third day--we serve a living Savior!!  God has the winning hand.  It is not over until God says it is over!!  Look at all of these examples, it looked like they had a losing hand, but when you are on God's side, you have a winning hand!!  Thank You Lord!  Our God is the same yesterday, today and forever more!  God has the winning hand.  He will send somebody to walk with you--to come by and minister to you.  He never fails!  God is opening up a window and pouring out a blessing that there is not room enough to receive it all!  Thank You Lord!  Hold on, He has the winning hand.  We are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds by His word.  Fiveamprayer, take some time out to read His word, daily!  We are gonna win this one, not because of us but because of Him!  Praise His name!  We can do all things thought Christ which strengthens us!  Greater is He that is in us than he that is in this world!  Don't worry about the cards your were dealt, you have Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Tsidkenu, Jehovah Rapha, Emmanuel--that is who we serve!  Walk out that blind trust like when you are playing spades, lay down your hand say we are gonna go blind seven.  We have to have some blind faith!  God has the winning hand!  It's gonna take faith!  We know that it is impossible to please Him without faith.  It is not in your hands, it is in God's hands!  Fiveamprayer is gonna walk this out knowing that we are in good hands with God's winning hand!  Blessed is the man that perseveres--it is only a test.  He will receive the crown of life, that is for those that love Him.  Don't you love Him, fiveamprayer?!  We can count it all joy!  We can't loose with the stuff that He uses!  What are you scared of?  He did not give us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and sound mind.  God is with us and He has the winning hand.  It is God's master plan, He is the Creator, He created the game!!  He knows every move that satan will make and use against us.  That is why God is telling us right now to be quiet and still.  The enemy is trying to get us to speak out of order and get out of position.  The game is not over--we win!!  We got on the whole armor of God!!  Tell the devil, you don't want to sit down and play with me!  Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.  God has the winning hand!  Stop acting like you are scared of the devil?!  Be ready to fight him, God has the winning hand!  Fear brings torment.  Fear is not in our DNA, He can bring us out of anything!!  God is all powerful, the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy.  God will expose the devil--He told us in this season we will see.  The devil isn't getting away with anything!!  The spirit of the Lord is falling on all flesh, that time is right now--that is why we don't have to do anything.  Hallelujah, we win!  Just hold on to that!!  We win this one and the next one and the next one...Blessed is the man that endures trials--His word is not void, we can stand on it!  Bring God His word, that is what He responds to.  We win!  We lift up fiveamprayer, have them hold on to Your word, it's not over until You say, it's over!  You have the winning hand!  You promised us a way out of temptation, that You would not put more on us than we can bear.  We lift up prayer requests, those known and unknown.  Have them to know that You are all that we need.  We come to ask for forgiveness for thinking we could play the game better than You.  Forgive us, we repent for our trying to go off and fix things on our own.  Thank You, Lord for forgiving us with no condemnation that our sins are cast into the sea, remembered no more.  Help us to forgive like You, Lord.  Let it go--really and truly.  No longer walk in unforgiveness!  It is done, let it go and go on into the kingdom, entering into His joy! 

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: I will not fear, for God has the winning hand!

Welcome to the overflow...
Thank You Lord for letting us know that we must forgive to be forgiven.  We must not be in our feelings, if you won't let it go, you will be missing out on your blessings.  Don't just say it, really walk in it.  How can you say that you love God and treat your brother that way?!  We are to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.  God is coming back for a church--you are the church.  We are shaped in His image and He gave us the breath of life, our lives should be modeled after Him, too.  Are you handling things as God would?  What would Jesus do?!  We have got to get it together!!  Don't speak things that are against the knowledge of God!  That is all to be cast down!!  Be a quiet wife in your marriage--God has this all in His hands.  In your singleness, a man finds a wife--stop looking.  It is time that we get this right!  Walking in the word not only speaking the word!  God has the winning hand!  Let's get busy about His business!  We know that faith without works is dead.  We must really walk in faith.  If we had the faith of a mustard seed we could move mountains!   Thank You Jesus!  Visit us on facebook and read these scriptures for yourself.  Fiveamprayer, it is not about your hand, is is about the Master's plan!  Have a blessed day!  Walk in love today!
