YOU CAN! - Devotional September 20, 2015

¹² I know how to get along and live humbly [in difficult times], and I also know how to enjoy abundance and live in prosperity. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret [of facing life], whether well-fed or going hungry, whether having an abundance or being in need. ¹³ I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.] ‘Philippians 4:12-14 Amplified Bible (AMP)’

Are you facing a red sea today with no way to cross it? Is the enemy in hot pursuit and you don’t know what to do? You can’t go back and you can’t go forward…Have you prayed but gotten no answer?Are you dangling at the end of your rope about to let go and there’s no safety net?

All I can say is….don’t give up…keep praying…keep waiting…keep trusting in God…

You are in for a miracle…

By faith Moses obeyed God and a multitude walked through the red sea on dry ground…and the enemy was destroyed.

By faith Abraham took his family to a foreign land not knowing where they were going, but in obedience to God they went, and God proved to be with them the whole way…it was counted to him for righteousness...

By faith David as a young man defeated the giant…David knew his God and became a king.

By faith a young virgin girl whose name was Mary conceived and bore a son, the savior of all mankind.

By faith twelve ordinary men, chose to give up their lives and follow Jesus; and they changed the world.

By faith we accept Jesus as our Lord and savior and by faith live this life knowing He will never leave us no matter what!

When you’re down, look up! When life looks hopeless and you feel defeated remember God’s word. “I can do ALL things through Christ which strengthens me.” Yes life is hard there will be failure and hurts; trials and suffering but remember this Jesus overcame the world and because of that we will overcome too. Don’t get weary, don’t give up…persevere…we’ve got too much to gain to lose. And when the journey gets rough…sing…pray… and praise! Come on…you’re going to make it!

Father God in Jesus name I ask that you encourage your children right now. Drive back the evil forces that want to make them give up. Give them faith, grace and strength. I ask that the Holy Spirit reveal Jesus in a new and fresh way today in their hearts grant their miracle. Let your Holy rain fall on them and fill them to overflowing for your glory and your purposes. Amen.
