James 4:8 states, “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.”Do you feel close to God?Are you close to God? Do you want God to feel and be closer? Move closer to God and He responds with nearness to you.

Are you 100% certain, if you died today, that you are going to Heaven for all eternity? Would you like to be?Write us at encouragingchristians@gmail.comWe want to help you personally know you are going to Heaven.

Are you allowing God to restore your soul Biblically? Are you going to the world's counselors and getting subpar help for your soul and putting a bandaid on something God wants to heal completely? Go to God for your soul's complete restoration.

God's Love is an intricate part of your Soul being restored by God. Do you reflect on His love for you enough?

Jesus stopped and stood still for the blind beggar outside of Jericho. He gave him His undivided, full attention. He healed him. What do you need the Son of God to heal in your life today? Don't be silent in your faith, be bold, be loud. He will miraculously heal and meet your need today!

You are blessed by God and surrounded by His favor. God loves you. How do you see yourself? A sinner? A sinner saved by grace? A redeemed child of the King of the Universe? How you see yourself impacts every aspect of your life.

You are Blessed and Highly Favored. Bask in God's Favor on your life.

Whatever you are going through, child of God, you are not alone. God is with you. Isaiah 43:2

Either we guide our emotions or our emotions guide us.

God restores your soul. He loves you. He wants you to be whole. One way God restores your soul is through you getting into His Word. Let Him restore you today.

God has you today. God has you tomorrow.

After a long days assault when the enemy sends fiery darts after fiery darts your way, and you may get attacked, not only in the spiritual realm with attacks on the mental and the emotional and the spiritual, but even in the physical realm people who say they love you, people who are your friends, people who are your family, people who are your coworkers, or people who go to church with you. It's when you lay down at night and you meditatively pray the following prayer: “Lord today the enemy sent fiery darts, but your word says I am more than a conqueror through Christ. Nothing can separate me from your love. I lay down in peace or shalom because you keep and guard me. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. In Jesus' name, I rest in your victory.”

When the enemy attacks you all day, what Bible verse keeps you grounded best?

Power is structured. Words carry weight because of position.Delegation plus humility = multiplied influence.

Honor others before you expect them to honor you. Jesus died for you and I when we could do nothing for Him. Do you honor people in your every day life?

How do you and I interact with others as an authority in their lives.

God sees and knows every heart—including yours! What's in your heart?

Focus on good treasures. Embrace good treasures. Be filled with good treasures. Abound with good treasures you share with others.

A good heart has good treasure in it to share with others. An evil heart has evil treasure to share with others. What is in your heart?

Affliction is temporary but Glory is eternal. Suffering shapes believers into Christ's likeness. Suffering detaches us from this temporary world and anchors us in eternity.

Trials test and stretch our faith in various and distinct ways. How is your faith being tried right now?

Trails are inevitable in the Christian life. If you are maturing in your faith you are going through some type of trial. Stay in the saddle. Ride this till the end. See what God accomplishes.

The Power of the Lord was present to heal. Is the power of God present when you worship Him personally and privately? Is the power of the Lord to heal present when you worship Him corporately? Jesus is still healing people and lives and families and churches and nations today. Are you an active part of His healing?

What hopelessness are you facing that you need to visit God's Hall of Faith and strengthen your hope?

Do you enjoy complete forgiveness from your Heavenly Father daily?Do you forgive those who “trespass” against you daily?Are you a victim? Or are you a Victor?Do you have a victim mentality because someone hurt you or did you wrong?What does Jesus teach us about forgiving those who do us wrong?Please let us know if you want help getting freedom from being a victim from someone else. We can help you get out of that bondage and move towards freedom. Please write us at encouragingchristians@gmail.com

Habitually practicing Biblical Forgiveness benefits the whole being of your person: emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually! By the same token, the flip side of this: chronic unforgiveness damages so much of a person. Do you practice Biblical Forgiveness?Are you a maturing believer?If you need help or counseling in this area please reach out to us at encouragingchristians@gmail.com and let us help you get the healing you deserve.

Confession is good for the soul! “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus.” Have you confessed your sins and acknowledged that only Jesus can save you from an eternity in the lake of fire? Would you like to do that right now? Please listen to the podcast. It is a clear presentation of the gospel. Please let us know by emailing us at Encouragingchristians@gmail.com We want to pray for you and encourage you as a new believer in Christ.

Jesus won so many battles and the war? Do you identify with your past sin more than you identify with Jesus and His holiness? Do you identify more with your struggles and defeats or His victories?

You and I obey God in the natural world by implementing the Word of God daily into our lives. God intersects the natural with the supernatural and changes everything. Have you been saved?If so, since your salvation has God intersected your life in other ways with His supernatural power?

David praised God for victories before they were won. Do you? 2 Samuel 22:50

God inhabits the praise of His people! Praising God in advance shifts our focus from the problem to the Problem-Solver. When we praise God in the midst of our struggle we are inviting His Presence into our circumstance. When God manifests Himself this changes the spiritual dynamics surrounding our situation. God is bigger than any problem we face. Praise Him in your current struggle right now! Email us at Encouragingchristians@gmail.com with your praise and how God won a victory for you.

What are you currently struggling with child of God? What difficulty are you dealing with? The Bible often links praise and worship with the manifestation of God's power. Even before victory, when you and I praise God, our praise invites God's Presence into our situation. When God shows up things happen! Good things! 2 Chronicles 20:22

Praise is an expression of your faith, trust, and reliance on God. Hebrews 11:1

Luke 1:17 and Ephesians 2:2 both use the same word Disobedience. It is not a good word. It describes people who refuse to turn towards God, His Word, His Son. Please make sure and examine your heart to make sure this is not reflected by you towards God or people who represent Him.

How do you want to live as a Christian?How do you want to live and impact those in your life?

Have you believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? Would you like to be born again today? Please reach out to us at encouragingchristians@gmail.com

Jesus is God the Son of Jesus is God in the flesh. He died for our sins. He rose again.

Are you saved? Have you been born again? Would you like to have your sins forgiven and spend eternity with God in Heaven?

Jesus taught us to have a continuous habit of laying up treasures in Heaven. Are you doing this?

Replace the stronghold of Lies in your mind with Renewed Truth. Replace the stronghold of False Identity in your heart with New Creation.Replace the stronghold of Self-effort in your will with Spirit-empowered Obedience. Tear down strongholds and build towers of truth.

Building the 3rd Tower of Truth is overcoming your will and training yourself to submit it to the Lord. Are you challenging your own will daily?

Are you choosing freely to do today what God's Word, God's Spirit, and God's Son teach you to do? Are you training and disciplining yourself to submit your will to the Heavenly Father?

God is working in us to complete His will are we in submission to Him, our flesh, the world's system, or the devil? We choose.

As a new believer, you live a new life. Enjoy your new life in Christ. Build your Tower Of Truth that protects your heart. What does Romans 8:1-2 teach you about your new identity in Christ? Submit your feelings to Christ, the Holy Spirit, and God's Word. They are your new authority for your feelings. Although many feelings you have which are affiliated with your old life are real, they are not authoritative. They are brought into submission to Christ.

When you got saved you became a new creature in Christ. Do you identify more with your flesh and your old identity, of carnal thought and fleshly living or as a new spiritual creature who lives holy as Jesus is Holy?

Build a Tower of truth that transforms your mind. Renew your mind daily in the Word. Transform your mind through daily choosing God's narrative from Scripture. You Choose what narrative you rehearse. Lies lose power when truth becomes familiar.

For a Christian to get victory over the world, the flesh, and the devil, maintain victory, and walk in victory, he must build a tower of truth where the old strongholds used to be.
