God is Able!!!

Source


Have you been feeling a little down lately like all hope is gone and you don’t see a way out? Well, I’m here to let you know that you are not alone. It's not over.

Even though you may think your circumstances are hopeless, it is not impossible for God. Our Heavenly Father can meet your need regardless of your position. God can achieve far more than we can ever imagine.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Ephesians 3:20

God is able.

When we think the odds are against us, God will intervene on our behalf. Now that is just how much He loves us! Our God can do the unthinkable. I know personally how He has stepped in right on time in several situations where I felt as though I didn’t know which way to turn, who I was going to talk to or where I was going to get it from. So, don’t think that I don’t know.

You have done all that you can in your own strength now turn it over to Him and trust and believe He will work it out!

There is NOTHING is too hard for God.

LET THEM GO! BY BISHOP T.D. JAKES



There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. 

I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. 

The Bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19] 

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. 

Let them go. 

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. 

You've got to know when it's dead. 

You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay. 

Let them go!! 

If you are holding on to something that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life, then you need to . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains . . . . . . . .

LET IT GO!!! 

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth . . . . . . .

LET IT GO!!! 

If someone has angered you . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or talents . . . . . . .

LET IT GO!!! 

If you have a bad attitude . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new level in Him . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help themselves . . . . . . .

LET IT GO!!! 

If you're feeling depressed and stressed . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to . . . . . . . . 

LET IT GO!!! 

Let the past be the past Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new thing for 2013!!! 

LET IT GO!!! 

Get Right or Get Left… think about it, and then . . . . . .

LET IT GO!!!

Monday Inspiration: Jesus Culture - Holy

This song will definitely take you into worship.





Just one look on your face
Just one glance of your eyes
My whole world is changed
My whole world is changed

All I seek, only to see your face
I don't wanna go anywhere without you God
Without your presence
Oh, let me see your face
The beauty of your holiness God
Take me in to the holy place

And only one word comes to mind
There's only one word to describe
Only one word comes to mine
There's only one word to describe

Holy, holy
Lord God Almighty

There's no one like you
You are Holy, holy

Review: Prayer Never Fails: Especially During Trials by Berney K. Dorton




I must admit the title of the book sparked my interest in the beginning, but after reading the synopsis I was really looking forward to reading this book. I could not have received this book at a better time. Not to mention, I could relate to many of the tragic events she shared. Therefore, it left me anxious and a little nervous to receive this book because of the many different emotions I was already dealing with.

Prayer Never Fails has 14 Chapters and is an easy and quick read. Although, I would recommend you taking your time and really digesting every scripture and story that is shared.  I found myself reading a few chapters more than once and crying during some. Also, every chapter begins with a scripture mainly taken from the New International Version (NIV).

Often times when we are going through trials we feel like giving up but Mrs. Dorton reminds us to continue to pray and have faith regardless of the circumstances. “Prayer should be our initial response instead of our last-ditch effort.”  She highlights five reasons to pray.


        1.       Pray to confess and confront the sin in our lives.
        2.       Pray to thank God for His blessings.
        3.       Pray to develop intimacy with God.
        4.       Pray for cleansing and restoration.
        5.       The righteous prayers availeth much.


I liked the concept of her using real life stories as examples of different trials she faced to insure the readers they are not alone and she is not exempt. Everyone will go through many different trials in life but with continuous prayer we will make it through.

I believe others could genuinely benefit from reading this book because it will encourage them to continue to pray while going through tough circumstances.
