Praise the Lord! We are a blessed people! Our God has forgiven and redeemed us from every curse of the law. NOW, ALL THE BLESSINGS OF ABRAHAM ARE OURS IN CHRIST JESUS! He remembers our sins no more. THEY ARE COVERED UP BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST! WOW! We always have a reason to rejoice and be glad! God daily loads us with all His benefits, and by faith in Christ, we walk in all His blessings! That’s the truth of God! It overrides the facts, that don’t line up with God’s promises. The TRUTH is: we are blessed, and we are saying it, and agreeing with that TRUTH! “Blessed and happy and to be envied are those whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered up and completely buried. Blessed and happy and to be envied is the person of whose sin the Lord will take no account nor reckon it against him. [Ps. 32:1, 2.]” Romans 4:7-8 AMPC Thank You Lord! We are forgiven and found guiltless before you. We are blessed because of the finished work of Christ. Thank You, for beginning and completing that work in us. Blessings, you happy, blessed, and to be envied people in Christ. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

We inherit all the promises of God, through our complete faith in Christ Jesus alone. God’s grace (His unmerited favor) extends His blessings through Christ, and not our works. It is God’s precious gift to us in Christ. Daily, God’s Word develops and matures our faith. God’s promises empower us, as we give praise and glory to our God. Faith in what God says drives out unbelief, that would make us doubtingly question God’s promises, which are ours through Christ Jesus. We can be positively certain that all of God’s promises are yes and amen in Jesus. “Therefore, [inheriting] the promise is the outcome of faith and depends [entirely] on faith, in order that it might be given as an act of grace (unmerited favor), to make it stable and valid and guaranteed to all his descendants–not only to the devotees and adherents of the Law, but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, who is [thus] the father of us all.” Romans 4:16 AMPC Thank You Lord, for giving Jesus, so that we could inherit all Your blessings. Help us to keep our faith and trust completely in Your Word of promise, especially through difficult, challenging times. You Lord, have overcome the world, and made us MORE than CONQUERORS! Blessings, as you meditate and develop your faith in all the promises you’ve inherited in Christ Jesus! Love ya’ll, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

Our complete faith, confidence, and trust can be secure in Christ Jesus. He willingly gave His life to bring us into full reconciliation and peace with God, our Loving Creator. Through Christ, we are favored, not at a disadvantage. We are blessed, not cursed. We are seated in Heavenly places, not beat down. We are provided and lovingly cared for, not lacking and defeated. The lies and situations of this world are constantly trying to bombard us, and make us doubt God’s joyous blessings, that we have in Christ Jesus. We get focused on what’s wrong, instead of what Christ has redeemed us from. We release God’s hope and glory in this world. We are not releasing gloom and doom. “Through Him also we have [our] access (entrance, introduction) by faith into this grace (state of God’s favor) in which we [firmly and safely] stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God.” Romans 5:2 AMPC Lord, help us keep our minds stayed upon the victory we have in Christ Jesus, especially through trying times. Help us continually rejoice and be glad in You, and all You have done. Thank You, we can rely upon Your abundant life in difficult times. Blessings, as God’s joy in you infects the world with His glory. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

Happy Thanksgiving! We always have so much to be thankful for, because of all that Jesus has purchased us from, and all that He purchased for us! One very special thing we are thankful for, is you all! Each one of you brings a unique and special gift from God to this world, and we are blessed and honored to know, and be a part of your lives! Thank you for letting the light of Jesus shine so brightly in the earth, and to us! “And we also [especially] thank God continually for this, that when you received the message of God [which you heard] from us, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is, the Word of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe [exercising its superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it].” 1 Thessalonians 2:13 AMPC Thank You Lord, that we are one with You! Thank You for Your giftings and callings in our lives! Thank You for the family of God that we are a part of! Blessings, as your heart overflows with thanksgiving for all His precious treasures in your life. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

God’s Word tells us how we should view, approach, and go through difficulties. We are to be full of joy, confident in Who our God is, and what He has done. We face hardships, because we live in a fallen world. People do not choose to honor and respect God, or His ways. If they would, it would produce peace and joy. We have an assurance of victory in Christ Jesus! Everything we face, we face in Him, and He has already overcome the World. Therefore, we also have overcome the world, in Him! Our responsibility is: stay consistently trusting in the accomplished work God is developing in us, through each challenge. The enemy may mean it for evil, but our God will work it for good, as we stay focused on His purposes. “Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.” Romans 5:3 AMPC Thank You Lord, that You have made us more than conquerors in You. We overcome every challenge and difficulty. Help us to lean and trust in You, and not our own understanding and insight. Blessings, as your God brings you through, and over, every obstacle with His Righteous Mighty Hand. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!

God’s Word instructs us to place our hope, trust, and thoughts in His promises. We must choose to stop rehearsing (going over and over) the negative, or the “worst case” scenario. Stop meditating on: the bad things that have happened to us, the bad things that could have happened, the bad things that are happening, the bad things that might happen, and the list goes on. This is how the enemy tears down our faith and trust in God. He keeps our thoughts in a continual state of fear and turmoil, creating thoughts of torment, making us doubt God’s love. By doing this, we open the door for the enemy to bring His foul, destructive plans. God gave us His precious promises so we could continually magnify, meditate on, and talk about them. When we keep our thoughts focused on His promises, we open the door of our lives for God’s blessings to overflow. We invite His glory to arise within us. “And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation.” Romans 5:4 AMPC Lord, thank You for developing the endurance and maturity of character, to believe and rehearse Your Word, above the negativity. Thank You for Your Word, that produces a confident hope and expectation of Your abundant blessings in our lives, families, and nation. Blessings, as you rehearse (go over and over) God’s promises, instead of the enemy’s curses. Love y’all, but remember: JESUS LOVES YOU MORE!!!
