I Speak Life!

Shh! God is speaking! He is speaking when we least expect it. He is speaking when we feel all hope is gone. He is speaking when things are going well! The truth about it, He is always speaking to us because He wants the best for us! But are we truly listening? Seek God like never before! The time is now to develop a closer walk with Him. Not just during your valley moments but also during your mountaintop experiences! We can't keep doing it our way and expecting God to bless it! We have to allow Him to lead and guide us all the way if we want to be victorious! He is waiting... will you allow him to dwell within your heart so that He can usher you into a life of abundance!

GOD "IS" OUR HEAVENLY FATHER! He is the beginning and the ending! He is Jehovah Jireh - our provider! He is Jehovah Rapha - God our Healer! He is Jehovah Shalom - God our Peace! He is El Elyon - God Most High! He is El Roi - God who sees! He is El Shaddai - God Almighty! He is Elohim - Our God! He is Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent! He cares for us, loves us, redirects, us, blesses us, and chastens us! Thank you Father for all things and everything that you have done, is doing, and will do in my life! I can't ever repay you, but I can continuously praise you, obey you, seek you, and spend time with you to show my gratefulness! Thank you for being a GREAT GOD and a GREAT FATHER! Because of your grace and mercy, I shall lack nothing and I don't ever have to work about being forsaken!

God's Favor often times attracts attacks, but it will not stop the plan that God has predestined for your life. Through these attacks, trials and tribulations, unwelcomed situations, and stressful circumstances, God wants us to yield o His way and give Him our concerns. You see, the attacks are not meant to break you but prepare you for your next level of greater! Don't be so deceived by the smokescreens of the enemy that you forget that even through the attacks, God will always have your back if you trust Him!

Lead like Jesus: Be the Example is not just a title, it's a lifestyle. Every day we have an opportunity to respond like Him. It is so easy to respond like the world, but we have to ask God to help guide our decisions, and gird our reactions to injustices that we face. Of course we are human, but we have the power to win in every situation. For this is not a physical battle that we fight, but a spiritual one that requires that our faith be anchored in the Lord, and our hope be rooted in His word! We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus even when we face challenges that come to sway our faith. Yet, if we hold on and stay the course, God will make our enemies our footstool... not for us to gloat but for us to rejoice that God is still and always will be in FULL CONTROL! Don't fret...God has not failed us yet!! Be Encouraged!

If we are going to show some sign, we must make sure our talk and walk aligns! Listen, the fruit of the spirit should be evident in all of our lives. Galatians 5:22 tells us "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law". Even though we all possess some character flaws, we can allow God to create a "change in us" to help us develop positive character traits. The goal is to be better today than you were yesterday. Our faith walk is a daily journey. We have to deny our flesh daily, and allow God to work on the inside of us so that the evidence can be produce to others.

God often uses isolation to prepares us for our greater. Sometimes, isolation is used to prepare us for elevation, transform us through self-reflection, inspire us to develop a deeper personal relationship with Christ, and to instruct us on something that is beneficial in our lives away from all the chatter of the world. Either way, embrace the journey, God never allows anything that he hasn't already paved the way for us to endure. His plan for our lives is flawless because He has carefully crafted every area, expectation, and purpose for us individually. And because He is faithful, we have no reason to doubt that even in the midst of the storm, He promised that we will be more than conquerors in Christ.

Even though we suffer many afflictions, this does not negate our purpose that was predestined even before we were born. God has a plan for our lives, and it is greater than anything we could even encounter. The mere fact that God has promised that "all things" would work out for our good (Romans 8:28) tells us that even our afflictions have to align with his purpose for our lives. For there is nothing that we will go through that will not grow us into the purpose He has for our lives. So be encouraged and know that God's plan is perfect, and His promises are permanent! Your greater is coming...just you wait and see!

Judas betrayed Jesus, but Jesus still loved him anyway! Judas' betrayal didn't stop God's plan. Don't get so distracted with people that are trying to sabotage you that you forget who got you! God never fails and He always wins! So, treat them right and watch God help you win that fight! You need not to stoop down to their level when you understand that God's plan for your life is bigger than anything the enemy is trying to throw your way. Learn to love anyhow, forgive anyway, pray for them always, and your blessings will be abundant and overflowing because you trusted in God's power and not the enemy's tactics! Aways remember, that even when people betray you, God will never abandon you! Case in point....Jesus arose and He lives! That means that nothing you face could even stand the power that is within you! Let God lead you to victory, and remain firm in your faith!! Be Blessed and Definitely Encouraged!

Our faith is the catalyst in every aspect of our life. Even as we face natural storms that cause use to seek shelter, so shall the storms of life cause us to exercise our faith! For our faith in God pleases Him and causes Him to move on our behalf. However, our doubt diminishes His infinite power and creates chaos in our lives. And so we must be mindful to always "Stay in faith" and to "Shelter" or take refuge in our faith in God". Case in point, we must remember that no matter what is a happening around us, we cannot allow it get on the inside of us (mentally) and contaminate our Faith! God is faithful, and so we must stay bold in FAITH!

It's so easy to allow our light to grow dim amidst our daily trials and tribulations. But we must not lose hope because Jesus is the Light of the World, and that same power to shine bright despite opposition looming in the darkness is within us! Thanks be unto God that we don't have to weather our storms alone. For He has given us the Word as our Weapon and His Promises of God as our protection! We don't have to live in the darkness when our steps have been ordered and our path illuminated for us to see! So when the cares of life attempt to cloud your sight(mind), let your LIGHT SHINE!

There are times when we question the storms of life because we become so emotionally driven failing to shift our mindset to embrace God's intentions. We look at the storm instead of to the hills from whence all our help comes. Still, we fail to realize that the storms of life are to build us up and not tear us down. The storms of life are to prune us, prepare us, and propel us into our greater. This is why we must examine our storms from a spiritual perspective instead of a natural one to embrace the blessings and the lessons that are strategically embedded throughout our faith journey.

It is easy to be tempted to focus on your situation instead of the promises of God. But, you must understand that the trick of the enemy is to taint your mindset. Even though we can't avoid trials and tribulations, we don't have to be in despair. God is still in full control and he has promised us that if we stay in faith, he will take care of that concerns us.

God told Abraham to go, and he went where God sent him. God told Jonah to go, but Jonah fled instead. Don't negate the path that God has laid and paved for you; it is predestined for you and your good! God wants you to walk in your purpose and follow him! Don't allow disobedience to disconnect you from the promises of God! Remember that obedience is better than sacrifice! Go with God so that you can eat the good of the land!

Don't lose hope because of your present circumstances or situations beyond your control. Instead, yield your urge to control everything to the one that is in full control which is our Heavenly Father! He sits high and looks low! He is always on time and in time... nothing catches him by surprise! So don't lose hope.... God is with you wherever you go!

It is imperative that we "Guard our Gates!" Our destiny depends on how well we: watch what we see (eye gate), watch what we speak (mouth gate), watch what we think (mind gate), and watch what we hear (ear gate). These gates affect our how we feel (Heart gate), how we move (feet gate), and what we do (hand gate). We must make sure that we do not allow any part of our body to become an instrument of evil to serve sin, instead we must give ourselves completely to God (Romans 6:13). So, watch and pray but don't forget to guard your gates!

God is ready to do a "New Thing" in your life in 2025! Let go of your old way of thinking and renew your mind with the Word of God! His way always yields the best outcome with abundant blessings and favor for your life! Declare it now... He is doing a "New Thing" in my life in 2025 but first I have to get aligned!

Jesus is the Reason for the Season! He died for us so that we could live! Even with all of the Holiday traditions, gift giving, and family and friends fellowshipping, we should not forgot the real reason for this Christmas! Let Jesus for the Reason you celebrate! Rejoice and praise His Mighty Name because He is the Light of the World and without Him, we would remain in darkness.

God wants us to experience "Hope for the Holidays" in every aspect in our lives so that we can be fill with the "Joy of the Lord" and the "Peace that surpasses all understanding" as we anchor our trust in Him! Don't give up on God, instead hold on to HOPE! God is able!

How many times have you prayed and waited, prayed and anticipated, and still no sign of your harvest. You've waited in faith, and it seems that your harvest is taking a while to come. But be not discouraged or dismayed, if God is making you wait... it's going to be your "greater"! Stay encouraged because your harvest is coming!!!

The Lord cares for us and He wants the best for us! He is our Redeemer, Savior, Comforter, Protector, Sustainer! The Lord is our Shepherd and we must follow His guide because He always provides!

We must understand that in the midst of our frustration is God pushing us to discover the essence of our purpose. It is when we reach our frustration level that we must press on and faith forward to our breakthrough. We can't allow how we feel in this instance to deter us from our Godly mission.

Sin is wreaking havoc on our world. And because of our sinful nature, we must always be in the presence of God. Only He can help us, deliver us, and protect us from this sinful world. That's why we should hate the sin, but not the sinner because we all have fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). But thanks be unto God, that He has saw fit to forgive us and bless us anyhow!

God will fight your battles and everything that concerns you! No need to worry. No need to fret. God has never failed you yet! So, while you wait on God... be still and know that he is God!

God wants us to trust his plan and embrace the process. Every test teaches us a lesson. And every trial should increase our faith as we seek him daily! Hebrews 11:6, says it is impossible to please God without it! Let your faith activate his favor, and watch your life be blessed beyond measure!

When we pray, we expect God to move on our behalf. Yet, God does not operate on our time. So, what do we do while we wait? Do we continue to stay in faith while continuously praying? Scriptures tells us to pray without ceasing! Is that your posture? If not, tune in as Dr. Tan explores the topic: " When We Pray" and how to stay in faith!

In life, there will always be naysayers but you don't have to worry. Their chatter doesn't matter as long as you know that God has a plan for your life! And the best part about it, you don't have to retaliate but instead stay in faith and watch God work it out in your favor!

It is often easy to speak life over others, but harder for us to believe that same for ourselves. How do we rectify this way of thinking? How do we change our fixed mindset to a growth mindset? Learn how to reset our mindset to set us up for success!
