Are you believing God for something that is taking longer than you thought or expected? If you are praying
according to His promises, no matter how long you may have been standing, don’t give up! Your season is
coming. Your harvest of blessing is on its way. It might be today, it might be tomorrow, it might be next week,
next month or next year; but remember, at the right time you will experience your breakthrough.
Be encouraged today because God is faithful, and His promises are true. Keep standing, keep hoping, keep
believing. Keep doing good. Keep declaring the promises of God over your life. Choose to be around people
who are going to encourage you and fill your heart and mind with God’s Word. Let a song of praise come out
of your mouth. As you continue to press on in faith and keep an attitude of victory, you will see your harvest
of blessing and live as an overcomer in every area of your life.
A Prayer for Today
Father, thank You that this year is the year of acceleration! I declare by
faith that I am coming into new levels of favor. Thank You for Your good-
ness and for leading me in the path of blessing You have prepared for me
in Jesus’ name. Amen.
I want to remind you today that God is with you. He is on your side. He
has your best interest at heart, and He is working to bring restoration and
peace to every area of your life. Keep standing, keep believing, and keep
doing the right thing because the One who collects your tears will restore
every broken place in your life!
Count your bless-
ings, and remember,
if you're alive, you
still have time to be
a blessing to some-
one else.
Be a light to those in
darkness someone
needs what God has
put in you.
Don’t comfort what needs to be cut off in your life!
Keep the Faith,
Fight the good fight

2 Samuel22: 23 God is my strength and power: and He maketh my way perfect.
When I came across the Word "Salt" in Matthew 5:13, God began to speak to my Spirit. God tells us here,
"Ye....are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is GOOD
FOR NOTHING..., but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men."
If we are the salt of the earth..WHAT....is our PURPOSE? Naturally, Salt..is used for several purposes. The
most common one is- Seasoning. Salt is used to enhance and flavor our foods we eat..Sometimes, making the
difference between rather a food is edible or not! Salt is also used naturally, to keep vehicles from slideing..on
icey and Snowey roads. There are more uses for Salt, but lets talk about these examples given...
What could be the Spiritual use of Salt I thought? If we are to BE the salt of the earth....WHAT IS OUR FUC-
TION? How can we give flavor? Enhance? Keep others from Slipping? And Jesus spoke to my
heart....Through him! When we carry Jesus in our heart and daily life...HE is changes things...people...HE en-
hances life...when we live for him and give him to others ( Pass the Salt Please)! Jesus gives Quality and adds
flavor to life, and when we share him and pass his Truth on to others, if they will have HIM...If they will ac-
cept his truth, it will.certainly keep them from Slipping..when the enemy throws the Ice Storms of life our
way!!! Praise God! But how can we lose our savour and thus become unprofitable for Gods Kingdom?
SIN..SIN.-.SIN..It destroys Souls every day! Also, when we begin to lose the fruits of Jesus Spirit, we cer-
tainly lose our flavor and become good for nothing! It is God and his Spirit and his truth, that make us fit and
useful for his kingdom. I have left Salt out while Camping before, and when it got dew and Moisture in it, it
became tasteless..Useless...and I had to throw it away..It had lost it's purpose! Jesus said every tree that
bringeth not forth fruit shall be hewn down and cast into the Fire! What good are we if we dont walk with God
and bear his fruit? His Spirit? His Truth? Haven't we lost our purpose when we begin to walk in Sin? And
what good are we if we are useless? How is your Salt? Is it full of Savour, or has it become good for nothing,
and in need of the Saviour? Think About it...How are you salting the earth?
Salt is also used as a preserver....and certainly the Word of God will preserve us, if we keep it-it will keep
us!!!! Praise God!
Sometimes in life, you’ve got to play in pain. In other words, you’ve got to keep going even when you don’t feel like it.
You have to keep pressing forward even when it’s not easy. Every voice will tell you, “You’re done. There’s nothing
good in your future.” No, don’t believe those lies. God sees your effort. It’s one thing to do the right thing and make
good decisions when everything is going your way. That’s great. God honors that. But when times are tough and nothing
is going your way, when you’re hurting, when you should be on the sidelines nursing your wound but instead you’re still
in the game; you’re still getting to work on time; you’re still being good to someone, you’re still expecting God to turn it
around, that gets God’s attention in a new way.
I believe God has a greater reward for people who are faithful in the tough times. If that’s you today, know that God has
His hand on you. He’s walking with you through the valley. He’s preparing streams in the dessert. He’s leading and
guiding you in paths of righteousness for His name sake. Keep praising. Keep believing. Keep moving forward knowing
that God is with you, and His comfort will guide you to the place of blessing.
A word from the Pastor!
Are you being a sweet smelling savour to Jesus or,
Are you a stinch in His nostrils?
Let today be the day…You speak only the good you know of
other people and encourage others to do the same
Allow the Lord to shape you into the person He wants you to
be. "But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay,
and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand."
Isaiah 64:8

The one who sows sparingly,
From that he shall reap,
But he who sows generously
Will be blessed with all he needs
Let each one give as he has chosen
With a heart of gratitude,
Not with grumbling or reluctance,
But with a cheerful attitude
And God is able to make all grace
Abound toward you
So you will be fully equipped
And be blessed in all you do.
Sometimes we go through trials and we get stuck reading in the
Word about how satan tempted Adam and Eve, and many others.
We must read the WHOLE BOOK!! Get past satan and his tempta-
tions. In other words, get your mind off your troubles. Read on
about the miracles!! We are winners, and when we begin to read
about ALL that JESUS did for us, we can put a smile on our face,
hold our heads high, and walk on. Don’t give satan anything, too
many people stand in church and give him praise. He deserves noth-
ing. If you have a testimony, this means you have been through a
test and made it to victory. Give Jesus All Praise and Honor. He is
the one that gave ALL for you. Praise the Name of JESUS!!
Remember, God didn’t breathe His life into us to drag through
the day. He didn’t create us in His image, crown us with His
favor, equip us with His power to just go through the motions
of life. You may have had some setbacks, the wind may have
been taken out of your sail, but this is a new day! God wants to
breathe new life back into you. If you’ll get your fire and pas-
sion back, the wind will start blowing once again. When you’re
in agreement with God, He can cause the winds of favor to
shift in your direction!
A Prayer for Today
Father, thank You for another day, another opportunity to
praise You and pursue the dreams You’ve given me. Help me
to stay filled with Your joy, which is strength, so I can serve
You with my whole heart in everything that I do in Jesus’
name. Amen.
Instead of watering down The True Word of
God, Let’s get The True Word of God to water
us!
May we never become so preoccupied with
enumerating all the faults of others and al-
lowing that to be our focus that we fail to ask
God to show us our own faults and failures.
None of us have made it home yet. If we will
allow God to search our hearts and show us
ourselves just as he sees us, we may be sur-
prised and find we have much that we need
God's help to take care of.

Life isn't about how much money we make, what job
we have, or how well known we are. Life is about
living for God; praising His name; celebrating His
goodness; giving all the glory back to Him because
He deserves it.
