Reverse and Restore



Reverse and Restore


TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"…Give praise and thanks to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good; for His mercy and kindness and steadfast love endure forever! For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed and return to be as it was at first, says the Lord"
(Jeremiah 33:11, AMP).



TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Are you going through a difficult situation in your life? Today´s verse is a promise from God that tells us that when we have the voice of gladness and count it all joy, when we offer up the sacrifice of praise, God will cause captivity to be reversed and whatever has been stolen will be restored. Two words I love here: reversed and restored. No matter what is going on around you, when you stay full of joy and praise, God is going to turn things around in your favor. He is going to reverse negative situations. He´s going to restore things you thought were lost for good! But notice it doesn´t happen by complaining or being negative or sour. It happens when you have the voice of gladness, the voice of joy.

That means you get up in the morning with a song in your heart! You go out each day with a smile on your face. Things may not always go your way, but don´t get discouraged. Shake it off and count it all joy. When you live with this attitude, you might as well get ready–God is going to reverse and restore every area of your life!



A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, I come to you today giving you all that I am. I choose to praise you no matter what is going on. Fill my heart with joy and help me see the bright future You have in store for me. In Jesus´ Name. Amen.

To Fix Others


By: Yehuda Berg

Sunday, May 17

I do not wish to talk you into transforming. Growth is a matter of free choice. The best I can do is elevate my own sparks, so that the Light I reveal will speak to the souls of the people I want to help.

Focus on fixing yourself today. It's the best way to fix others.

Cause is You


By: Yehuda Berg


Saturday, May 16

Everything that happens in your life has a cause — you. This concept is not easy to live, but when you do it allows you to take control of your destiny every day.

Today, take TOTAL responsibility for everything that happens to you. Blame, avoidance, judgment, apathy...just say no!

Remember Your Victories



Remember Your Victories


TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph…"
(II Corinthians 2:14, NKJ).



TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria
When you think about your past, what events do you remember? What memories do you allow to play over and over in your mind? In the Old Testament, they had what they called memorial stones. These were used to remind the people about the good things God did in their lives. We need to remind ourselves today to focus on our victories. Sure, we´ve all had setbacks, but when you meditate on your disappointments and failures, it only drains you of valuable energy. It steals your confidence and joy. But when you focus on your victories, it builds your strength and confidence. It feeds your faith. It gives you a reason to give God praise. Praise catches God´s attention. He inhabits the praises of His people. And when God shows up on the scene, every enemy must flee!

I encourage you to get into the habit of focusing on your victories. Remember, every good and perfect gift comes from Him. As you praise and thank Him for His favor and victory in your life, He´ll open up supernatural doors for you to move forward into the abundant life He has for you!



A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, thank You for Your faithfulness in my life. I release every hurt from the past and choose to focus on my victories. I bless and praise You today for showing me Your goodness In Jesus´ Name. Amen.
