Concerning transition, what happens to you is not as important as how you respond to what happens to you. Are you going to keep moving forward, or are you going to let your fear of the unknown hold you back? Are you going to make excuses for yourself or are you going to press through the...
1 Corinthians 13:1,2 - "13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have...

John 15:8 - "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be...
Jesus said to His disciples, "...Let us pass over unto the other side" (Mark 4:35). However, they soon faced a disruption. "And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full" (Mark 4:37).
Some Believers have been continually hit by life's...
In Joshua's day, before crossing the Jordan River and moving into their inheritance, God said to the people, "Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you" (Joshua 3:5).

1 Thessalonians 5:17 - "Pray without ceasing."
Prayer walk around your home. Lay your hands on every window and door, commanding the atmosphere of Heaven to come. Invite the Holy Spirit to infuse each room with righteousness, peace, and joy. Command all atmospheres that do not line up with the...
"Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you" (Ephesians 5:14).
Just because we walk and talk does not mean we are truly awake. Zechariah was not sleeping when an angel roused him "as a man who is awakened from his sleep" (Zechariah 4:1).
Perhaps we too need to be...
Revelation 4:1 - "After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven..."

As a child of God, like Jacob did at Bethel...

"Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!" Luke 1:28

"Catch the foxes for us, The little foxes that are ruining the vineyards, While our vineyards are in blossom." - Song of Solomon 2:15
Ask the Lord to reveal to you the little foxes that are trying to crush the vine that will bring forth the new wine. Get a vision of your future identity. Ask...
1 Corinthians 2:9 - " But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."
This is a time to call to the warrior inside of you. Spiritual eyes, senses, and hearts are being opened like...
Psalm 32:11,33:1 "Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!... Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him."
Never underestimate the drawing power of joy. It's like a blazing fire that captures the...
Luke 17:18 - "Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”
All ten lepers needed physical healing and Jesus was moved with compassion and met their needs. He also desired to meet their spiritual needs, but only one out of the ten came back to give thanks.
Being...
Psalm 91:1 -- "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the almighty."
Jesus lived a life of prayer, and when He needed dedicated prayer time He would send crowds and, most likely, potential resources away so that He could be with the Father. As a...
If you are willing He takes you to a place to reposition you – to open your mind and open your eyes and open your ears and open your understanding; to take you out of the land of snares, and traps. He fills the graves of broken dreams, broken promises, broken relationships -- those who have been...
2 Timothy 2:8 - "Constantly keep in mind Jesus Christ, the Messiah, risen from the dead." AMP
Remember that when Jesus arose, you arose. When He came out of hell and defeated the enemy, you came out of hell and defeated the enemy. His victory is your victory because you're in Him. In the hard...
Matthew 4:1 - "Jesus was the led away by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil."
The word "tempted" actually means "tested or proven in adversity."
Before Jesus was led to do wonders, He was led to do battle. The Father proved the character of His Son through conflict. It...
Ephesians 4:32 - "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."
Our forgiving someone doesn't have anything to do with what that person did or didn't do to us. We forgive them because of the blood. God honored the blood and forgave us. For us not...
Luke 6:8 - "But He was aware all along of their thoughts..."
God always knows all of our thoughts. Our blessings and our problems are rooted in either right or wrong thinking -- we reap what we sow. Thoughts are seeds that produce a harvest in our lives.
If we want to have more peace or be...
