“Trouble and prayer are closely related.
Trouble often drives men to God in prayer,
while prayer is but the voice of men in trouble.”

 Written By: E. M. Bounds

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   
“If we do anything to further the kingdom of God,
 we may expect to find what Christ found on that road… 
 abuse,
 indifference,
 injustice,
 misunderstanding,
 trouble of some kind.
 Take it.
 Why not?
 To that you were called.
 In Latin America someone who feels sorry for himself
 is said to look like a donkey in a downpour.
 If we think of the glorious fact that we are on the
 same path with Jesus, we might see a rainbow.”
 
 Written By: Elisabeth Elliot
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
“Jesus promised the disciples three things….. 
 that they would be completely fearless,
 absurdly happy
 and in constant trouble.”
 
 Written By: G.K. Chesterton
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
“Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible
in bright moments as well as in trouble, 
we cannot fully respond to its consolations
because we lack equilibrium between
light and darkness.”
 
Written By: Helen Keller
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
“Trouble is one of God’s great servants
 because it reminds us how much
 we continually need the Lord.”
 
 Written By: Jim Cymbala
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
“God’s first great design in all our trouble 
is that we might let go of self-confidence.
When we do that, there is a temporary
sense of falling.
But by faith in God’s mercy, we land,
infinitely more secure,
in the arms of our Father,
who is utterly in control at the brink
of life and death.” 
 
Written By: John Piper
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Through out my life, facing trials, 
tribulations, storms and great losses….
I have learned that my help comes 
from my Lord and Savior! 
 
My help comes from God Almighty! 
My peace and comfort comes from 
the Holy Spirit! 
 
I am nothing! 
I am a nobody! 
 
I am just a small grain of sand floating 
in the winds of time…..
 
But I am still important to God, 
because He created me to love Him…
God created me to praise Him….
God created me to serve Him….
God created me because He 
wanted to…not because He 
had to…..
 
God is my refuge and my rescuer
in my day of trouble and sorrow.

Psalm 91:1-16 KJV
He that dwelleth in the secret 
place of the most High shall 
abide under the shadow of
the Almighty.

 I will say of the Lord, He is
my refuge and my fortress: 
my God; in Him will I trust. 

 Surely He shall deliver thee
from the snare of the fowler, 
and from the noisome 
pestilence. 

 He shall cover thee with His 
feathers, and under His wings
shalt thou trust: His truth
shall be thy shield and 
buckler. 

 Thou shalt not be afraid for
the terror by night; nor for
the arrow that flieth by day; 

 Nor for the pestilence that 
walketh in darkness; nor for 
the destruction that wasteth 
at noonday. 

 A thousand shall fall at thy 
side, and ten thousand at thy
right hand; but it shall not 
come nigh thee. 

 Only with thine eyes shalt
thou behold and see the reward
of the wicked. 

 Because thou hast made the Lord, 
which is my refuge, even the Most
High, thy habitation; 

 There shall no evil befall thee, 
neither shall any plague come
nigh thy dwelling. 

 For He shall give His angels charge
over thee, to keep thee in all thy
ways. 

 They shall bear thee up in their
hands, lest thou dash thy foot 
against a stone. 

 Thou shalt tread upon the lion 
and adder: the young lion and 
the dragon shalt thou trample 
under feet. 

 Because He hath set His love 
upon me, therefore will I 
deliver him; I will set him on
high, because he hath
known my name. 

 He shall call upon me, and I 
will answer him: I will be with 
him in trouble; I will deliver 
him, and honour him. 

 With long life will I satisfy
him, and shew him my salvation.

Dearest Heavenly Father; 
I pray that no matter what I see
with my natural eyes….
I will face each challenge, 
I will face each storm,
I will face each attack from 
the enemy with Your 
Holy Anointed Words as 
a weapon to overcome
my daily troubles. 
No matter what I see, 
no matter how bad the 
situation seems to be…
I will trust in You, my Lord. 
I will believe Your word. 
I will put my hope in You.
Therefore, I will loose 
my faith into my life and in 
heaven. 
I will bind doubt and fear 
in my life and in heaven. 
I will not lean on my own 
understanding…
I will not lean on my own
abilities. 
I will not lean on my wisdom. 
I will put all my faith in You,
my Lord and King. 
Have Your way in my life,
Holy Father. 
Thank You for this amazing
Golden Nugget of Spiritual 
Revelation today. 
I pray that I will never forget 
how important my words and 
actions are for my future. 

 Thank You, Father, for hearing 
my heart today. 

 In the Mighty and Powerful Name of Jesus Christ I Pray
amen and amen

Devotional—Feb 20, 2015

Today as I was spending some time reading one of 
my devotional books from one of my favorite
ministries, God led me to a new revelation…..

 In Matthew 16:19,
God tells us that whatever we bind 
on earth is bound in heaven….
God also tells us whatever we 
loose on earth is loosed in heaven….

 Now we have all read this passage, 
heard a pastor preach on this 
subject…etc…..But have we 
ever really thought about it, 
really meditated on this subject matter….
I know I never did…..Not really…..
Until today…..

 Wow…what a Golden Nugget
of Spiritual Truth! 

 This is what God revealed to me….
It has to do with the law of sowing 
and reaping…….

 If I plant a seed to grow a cherry tree, 
will I reap a harvest of olives or apples
from my cherry tree? 
NO! 

 If I plant green bean seeds will I 
reap a harvest of corn? 
NO! 

 God tells us whatever we sow
we will reap….

 Galatians 6:7 KJV
“Be not deceived; God is not
mocked: for whatsoever
a man soweth, that shall 
he also reap.” 

 I say all that for this one point…

 If I loose lack of faith into my 
life…then….guess what…..
I loose lack of faith into heaven…..

 OH MY…..

 If I loose faith into my life,…

I read God’s word, 
I apply God’s word,
I trust in God’s word, 
I trust in God, 
I follow God’s instructions, 
I listen to God’s guidance,
I listen to God’s instruction
and His correction…

 Then I loose Faith on Earth and 
in Heaven! 

 God wants us to know that 
FAITH IS AN ACTION WORD! 

 God wants us to know that He 
is WAITING for us to PLANT
our little MUSTARD SEED OF 
FAITH into HIS HOLY
FERTILE GROUND! 

 FAITH
TRUST
HOPE
OBEDIENCE
PERSEVERANCE
PRAYER
PRAISE
WORSHIP
YIELDING
SACRIFICE
TITHE
OFFERING
ALMS
LOVE
FORGIVENESS
These are ALL KEY ACTION WORDS that will 
Loose God’s Favor & Blessings into our personal 
lives and into heaven. 

 Fear
Anxiety
Depression
Anger
Unforgiveness
Desperation
Poverty
Laziness
Hopelessness
Selfishness
Greed
Rebellion
Hate
These are ALL KEY ACTION WORDS
that will STOP the FLOW OF FAVOR 
INTO OUR LIVES. 
These words will stop God from being 
able to bless us. 
These words and actions will bind 
God’s hands. 

 Luke 6:38 NIV
“Give, and it will be given
to you. A good measure, 
pressed down, shaken
together and running over, 
will be poured into your
lap. For with the 
measure you use, it will 
be measured to you.” 

So if we give generously…
we will reap abundance…
If we sow in faith…
We will reap abundance
from God’s Riches in Glory…..

 What ever we ask for in 
Jesus Christ’s Name…and 
believe and not doubt…
then God will bless us….

 God says seek first His 
righteousness…and all 
the things we need will 
be added unto us….

 What are you binding
and loosing on earth 
and in heaven? 

 Are your words and actions
faith based or doubt based? 

 You receiving a blessing depends
on what you speak out of your 
mouth……

 It is my prayer for you today
that this truth become a 
great revelation to you in all 
you do. That you begin to 
change your action words 
from lack of faith, to 
faith based….That no matter
what problems you are facing, 
you are able to find a word
from God, a promise from 
God to be able to use as 
a sword to slice through 
the enemy’s lies…

 Sickness has no place in  my body! 
This is a faith based sentence…

 Poverty and lack have no place in 
my family! I am blessed not cursed! 
I am the head and not the tail! 
All faith based…

What are your words and actions 
saying about your faith and
trust in God? 

 Evg. Sherrill A. McDonald

“Some people want to do something great for God,
yet they have not responded to the needs He has 
placed before them. Whether in ministry or 
business, success and position are not going to be 
handed to you. No one’s preparing an invitation
for you to be the head of a great ministry or the 
president of a big corporation.

 Some people think if they just had a certain position,
they could do great things. But the position won’t make 
you great. You can take any job or any ministry and 
make it explode, if you will only find the need and 
meet it. 

 You will see a marvelous work in your life if you
simply practice this principle…..

 DON’T WORRY ABOUT HOW TO MEET THE 
NEED. JUST STEP OUT IN FAITH, AND GOD 
WILL SHOW YOU HOW. 

 FIND THE NEED AND TAKE THE LEAD!” 

 Written By: Tommy Barnett

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 My Faith in Action or Not…………

 I have learned that FAITH is an ACTION WORD! 
I have discovered that God wants me to put my
faith in action every single moment of every
single day. 

 God expects me to seek His Righteousness….
God expects  me to seek His Desires….
God expects me to seek His Purpose for 
my life…..
God expects me to want to reach out to 
the Lost in this perishing world…..
God expects me to get past “self” problems……
God expects me to seek out His Holy 
Anointed Word to find a solution to 
my daily issues…..
God expects me to stay prayed up…..
God expects me to stand on His promises
every single moment of every single day…..

 GOD EXPECTS ME TO 
READ, STUDY AND MEDITATE 
ON HIS HOLY ANOINTED WORDS 
DAILY! 

 God has many blessings waiting for 
each of us…..
But we MUST SEEK THEM OUT!

 God has given me example after example
of faith in action all the way through
His word—from Genesis to Revelation. 

 It is up to me to search out His Promises.
It’s up to me to read these promises….
It’s up to me to study these promises…
It’s up to me to meditate on these promises…..
It’s up to me to apply these promises to 
my life…..
It’s up to me to trust God with my life….
It’s up to me to let go and let God take
care of me….
It’s up to me to yield to the Holy Spirits
guidance….
It’s up to me to obey what God has told
me to do in His word.  

 IF I DO NOT YIELD TO GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS
THEN I WILL REAP WHAT LACK OF FAITH
PRODUCES…..

 It is up to me every single day to choose 
faith or to choose doubt, fear and 
disobedience……

 Which one do you choose today? 

 Evg. Sherrill A. McDonald

Dearest Heavenly Father; 

 I come to You today and 
ask for Your forgiveness
for not taking tithing
and offerings more 
seriously. 

 Father, reveal to me the 
importance of this spiritual
law that You have set 
forth for all Your people 
to follow. 

 Lord, show me how to 
test You in my giving. 

 Lord, reveal to my spirit
where I need to sow my 
financial seed. 

 Lord, I pray that You guide 
me to the ministries that will
be fertile ground for my faith
seeds to grow and multiply. 

 Lord, thank You for giving me
the chance to test You in 
my finances. 

 Father, take my simple small
seed and multiply it like You
multiplied the fish and the 
loaves of bread to feed the 
multitudes. 

 Father, take my simple small
seed and multiply it like You
multiplied the widow’s oil. 

 Father, I do not ask for extreme 
wealth, so I can be a greedy old
miser…..dripping with diamonds, 
jewels and furs….No, my Lord, 
I am praying for prosperity so 
that I may go forth sharing 
Jesus with this hurting and lost 
world. 

 Not for my glory, 
but for the glory of God the Father, 
the Great I Am…
for the glory of Jesus Christ, 
and 
for the glory of the Holy Spirit. 

 Father, thank You for hearing my 
heart tonight. 

 I pray that all I do is a blessing to You, 
Lord Jesus. 

 I pray that as I learn to obey, 
as I learn to yield, 
as I learn to be a generous loving 
saint of God, that I become more
of a giver and less of a taker in 
all areas of my life. 

 I praise Your holy name. 

 In the Mighty and Powerful Name of Jesus Christ 
I Pray—Amen and Amen
