This is just a quick note to all of you who are going through a trial. The devil is trying to make you think you're going crazy and that you will never have victory. The bible says that the devil is the Father of Lies. He can't tell the truth. What does that mean? It means that everything the devil tells you is 100% chance the opposite. It's goes kinda like this: If he tells you
You ain't nothing - 100% chance you are more than a conquer
You ain't healed - 100% percent chance by Jesus stri1pes you are healed
God does not love you - 100% chance in Jeremiah 29:11 that God has good thoughts towards you
You will loose your mind an go crazy - 100% chance if you keep your mind on Christ Jesus he will keep you in perfect peace
You are depressed and down - 100% chance you are up. It's just an allusion.
You will never have a man or woman to love you - 100% chance God has someone for you around the corner
You will never be successful - 100% chance you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you
Your season will never come - 100% chance you are in your season
You will never be financially successful - 100% chance you are the head and not the tail, lender and not the borrower, on top only and never beneath.
The devil can control you - 100% chance the blood has paid a price for you 2000 years ago and you belong to God.

Fill My Cup Lord
I am a music lover, as many of you know. I love all types of music. However, I have been ordained to sing gospel music. All music is beautiful in some way but there is nothing like a good hymn. Of course, I was like every other teenager growing up. I thought hymns were boring and only for old people. But one Sunday morning it changed.
I was sitting on the choir stand at Grace Cathedral (my home church) when Pastor started singing this song I had never heard. He said he needed some help and hear comes this lady from the audience. She sang these words "Like the woman at the well, I was seeking for things that could not satisfy. But I heard my precious Jesus saying draw from my well that never runs dry." All of a sudden the atmosphere changed when she got to this chorus " Fill my cup lord. I lift it up lord. Quench this thirsting my soul. Bread of Heaven feed me till I want no more. Here's my cup. Fill it up and make me whole."
The glory of the lord filled the room: Church mothers began to rock back and forth, musicians lifted their hands, babies stopped crying, ministers and evangelist forgot about their titles, the soloist fell to the floor, and worship went forth. I didn't know that a hymn could have so much power. But these words ran deep in to the crevices of the heart. A place where only the healing hand of Jesus can go. Have you ever been there? Have you ever said " Lord if you don't help me, nothing else even matters. Only you can bring me through this."
There's a scripture in Psalm 23 that says "He anoints my head with oil and my cup runneth over." There comes a time in your life when nothing else matters. All you want is that touch from God. When he fills you it's a never ending stream unless you stop the flow. The only person who can stop that flow is you through anger, unforgivness, jealousy, and the like. I don't want anything or anyone to stop God's flow to me. I need him like the dessert needs the rain. I would be crazy right now if it had not been for him. I would have been backsliden and in the clubs, but his grace and mercy kept me. I want the flow to continue in my life.
This song is comforting to me and a prayer I can pray anytime of the day. You can pray this too. You don't have to have a beautiful voice or a recording contract. All he wants is your sincere heart crying out before him. He want to hear you. Not your mother or father. They can't receive your flow. Your flow was made just for you. Try it today or tonight when you go to bed. Ask him to begin to fill you over and over again. That's how I have been able to make it these past few months. Each day I ask the lord to fill my cup. He said in his model prayer "give us this day our daily bread." Therefore I can't worry about tomorrow. All I can do is live today and receive all he has for me today. He will do it. It has worked for me in my life.
Let's Pray: Father in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray that this reader will feel your presence right now even as they read this. I pray that your glory will be manifested in their life and the you will fill their cup with more of you. I pray that you will make them whole and renew their strength. Let them experience more of you in their life. Heal every sick, depressed. and oppressed person reading this right now. We need you God. If you don't help us no one can. Fill marriage cups right now God. Let nothing or no one break up marriages. Fill our spiritual cup and our finacial cup

Trust God
Do you really know who God is? Do you know how powerful HE is? Do you know how good HE is? I'm sure many of you will answer yes to these questions, but do you really believe it. Sometimes we hear things so much that we except it, but have not experienced it personally.
Nahum 1:7 says "The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in HIM." No matter what you face this day or any other day, know that God knows who you are and He is your refuge in times of trouble. He knows the vary hairs on your head.
I have found this to be so true. In my weakest times I have felt God stronger than ever. I guess that's why He said in 2 Corinthians 12:9 "my strength is made perfect in your weakness." We will all face weak moments in this life but God knows your trial before you went into it. All He wants is permission from you to step in and save the day. When you call on HIM he rushes to move on your behalf because you trust HIM.
It use to be so hard for me to pray "lord let your will be done." For some reason I thought my will was better than God's will. I didn't fully trust HIM. I wanted to fit HIM into my schedule. I was going to make it happen. However, God does not work like that. HE said in Jeremiah 29:11 "I know the thoughts I think towards you, saith the lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
Let us pray: Father, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, we repent for not trusting you in all things. We ask you to come in our life and give us more strength to trust you. Our flesh tells us that we don't need you, but we know better. Lord we love you and we want to please you everyday. It's hard and we can't do it in our flesh. We need your spirit to dwell on the inside. Let us know that everything will be alright. Satan the lord rebuke you. We come against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and spiritual wickedness in high places. We plead the blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth on our Physical bodies, our families, our possessions, our endeavors, and our influence in the earth. God, let your glory shine forth in our life. Reveal yourself to us. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, AMEN.

God Is Coming To Your Rescue
As a citizen of the Kingdom of God we are constantly at war with the forces of darkness that come to destroy or lives and hinder the purpose and plan of God for us. The enemy will work day and night to turn you away from God and make you believe that God does not care about you. He finds pleasure in causing sickness and disease, worry, anxiety, panic, fear, doubt of God, and every evil work in our lives. It is our charge as Kingdom Citizens to fight him with the word of God.
It's important to know that as a believer you will have trials and tribulations in this life. God allows them to show us who we are and just how much we need HIM. According to Hebrews 10:35, we should always have great confidence in God because it brings about a great reward. What reward? When God sees how confident we are in HIM and HIS WORD he is compelled to move on our behalf. He said in Isiah 55:11 that his word will not return unto him void, but accomplish the thing HE sent it out to do. He is obligated to respond to HIS word.
In Hebrews 10:36 we find that anyone who want to accomplish the will of GOD for their life has to have endurance. God has given each of us a built in ability to endure trials of this life. By enduring trials and tribulations we receive the promises of the God.
No matter how hard it gets or how bad it seems, you've got to understand that God hears you when you cry and HE will suddenly respond to your cry. Hebrews 10:37 says that God is coming and HE will not tarry. Our time is not God's time and HE knows just when to bring you out. There is an old song that says these words "If I were in control of my life I think that I would work things out much differently; There would be no hurt and no pain. Of these things my life would be scot free. But that just goes to show how little I know about leading and controlling my life because all these things have worked together just to make the best of me."
In my own life I have had to walk this word out. It is not always a good feeling and at times can seem near impossible. I guess that's why Jesus said in Matthew 19:26 that "with man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible." It is possible that even though you are going through, you are about to receive a visitation from God and HE will rescue you from the hand of the enemy.
