Too many times i have to deal with life. His Love never fails

Isaiah 54:10

His Grace is in the Seed

One of the most powerful revelations can be found in the smallest elements of God’s creation. Seeds.

To understand grace – God’s provision for man’s every need – we must understand creation. All the plants and animals we see today were contained within the seeds of the original plants and animals. God has created no new plants or animals since He finished with creation. All of mankind was contained within Adam and Eve. Eve was the mother of all the living (Gen. 3:20), and all of us came from the seeds/eggs that were in Adam and Eve.

All of God’s power is contained in His words. His words are seeds. His words are sent to prosper and bring increase (Isa. 55:11). God’s redemptive plan was designed to flow through the same concept. Jesus was the divine Seed Who was full of grace and truth! All grace and truth were “packaged” in Jesus. When we get born again, we are born again by the incorruptible “seed” of God’s Word (1 Pet. 1:23). In the seed of the new birth resides the potential grace for abundant life and increase.

In every seed we find potential. Seeds that are planted and cared for can produce generations of harvests. Increase comes from seeds. Jesus said that the Kingdom was a seed Kingdom (Mark 4:26-29).

The grace for provision and increase in every dimension of life begins as seed. Seeds of love, forgiveness, thankfulness, ideas, words, and actions all contain the grace to bring increase and blessing. Seeds of fear, worry, complaining, and doubt carry different outcomes.

When Jesus speaks of giving in Luke 6:38, He is revealing the key to increase on every level of life. The grace for increase is in the seeds that we sow, whether it be the fruit of the Spirit (fruit comes from and carries seeds), or cheerful giving (which Paul describes brilliantly in 2 Cor. 9:6-11). The incorruptible seed has potential that can be unleashed or can be smothered in the cares of this world. The cares of this world choke the Word (seed), and the grace within lies dormant.

If you want to understand grace, you must understand the seed. Even faith works from the seed principle. All of God’s promises are seeds that can release grace or be doubted. Our words are seeds and our giving can be powerful seeds of faith. In every case, the grace (potential) is in the seeds.

Why did multitudes seek Jesus? Why did they follow Him in the wilderness and travel with Him from town to town? What drew people to Jesus? Not theology. Not their sinless lives. Not religious duty. The common and the privileged sought Jesus because of His goodness. There was no condemnation coming from Him to the true seekers. They sensed His acceptance, compassion, and desire to see them healed and delivered. And with each miracle and healing, they gave thanks.

True faith is simply a recognition of God’s goodness. Those in faith know that it isn’t about them, it is about Him. And for that we give thanks.

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. (Ps. 107:1)

Poverty or Prosperity?

Without taking the time to develop the full subject of prosperity on the level of spirit, soul/emotions, mind, physical health, in relationships, and with resources, I have some questions that believers should reflect on before declaring that they are against “prosperity preaching.”

Which environment reflects the nature of God, prosperity or poverty, abundance or lack?

(Ps. 65:11, Ps. 36:8, John 15:7-8)

Which condition reflects the desire of God for His people under the Law; blessings or curses?

(Deut. 28:1-14)

Which condition reflects the desire of Jesus; abundance, or “steal, kill, and destroy”?

(John 10:10)

Is poverty a result of righteousness, or of Adam’s sin?

(Rom. 5:17, Gen. 3:17)

Does injustice create prosperity or poverty?

(Jer. 22:13-17)

Does sickness create abundance or lack?

(Mark 5:26)

Does ignorance build up or destroy?

(Hosea 4:6, Jer. 5:4)

Does laziness produce prosperity, or poverty?

(Prov. 21:5, 23:21, 28:19, Prov. 6:6-11)

Does God desire the results of sin, injustice, sickness, ignorance, and laziness for His people?

(2 Pet. 1:2-4)

Did God establish seedtime and harvest to impoverish the earth, or to bless it?

(Gen. 1:28-29, Isa. 30:23, Zec. 8:12, 2 Cor. 9:10)

Does a seed carry the potential for increase?

(Mark 4:26-29)

Can an idea seed create wealth?

(Prov. 16:22, Mt. 12:35, Prov. 21:5)

Can the seed of diligence create wealth?

(Prov. 10:4, 12:24, 13:4, 21:5)

Can favor create opportunities?

(Gen. 39:4, Ex. 3:21, Ex. 12:36, Ps. 5:12, Ps. 35:27, Prov. 8:35, Prov. 13:15)

Can the seed of generosity create a harvest of blessings?

(Prov. 11:25, Prov. 22:9, Isa. 32:8, Luke 6:38)

Does God want His will done on earth as it is in heaven?

(Mt. 6:10)

What is His will in heaven?

(Jer. 31:12-14)

Does poverty reflect the nature of God, or is it the result of the curse of sin and Satan? Would you rather live in the presence of God’s nature or Satan’s nature?

While it is true that we live in a fallen world of darkness, lust, lack, and sickness, we don’t’ have to believe and receive poverty. We can walk in the light, walk in love, be thankful, be generous, and expect God’s increase in our lives on every level.

You will use the eyes of doubt to see life’s challenges if you aren’t convinced of God's goodness.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23:6)

When I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back; this I know, because God is for me. (Psalm 56:9)

God is for you!!! Choose to "see" His goodness and be thankful. The atmosphere of your life will change.

One of the most faith building and liberating seasons in my life was when I realized I could enjoy my walk with God and enjoy His fellowship. My joy increased, my peace increased, and my faith increased! I began to get free from a lot of religious bondage that I wasn’t even aware I still had. I became “free” to enjoy God! And in that freedom, I found that believing Him was easy. I know that He cares for me, that He wants me well, He wants me to enjoy abundance in every area of my life, and that He is pleased with me.

And whoever trusts in the Lord, happy is he. (Prov. 16:20)

There is a Treasure in your Heart

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. (Mt. 12:35)

Think about Jesus’ words in this verse. He declares that in every heart there is a “treasure.” It is either a good treasure or an evil treasure. That which is in this treasure can be “brought forth.” It can move from the heart into the tangible world that we see and experience.

The question is, how does this treasure get into our hearts? Where did it come from? Who decides if it is good or evil?

The treasure of our hearts consists of that which we have allowed to take root there; that which we have thought about, seen with our spiritual eyes and natural eyes, and believed about God, about ourselves, and about life. On one level, your treasure is your general outlook and approach to life, either negative or positive. But as we dig deeper, we can see that the treasure is also our vision and faith. It is that which sets the course of our lives based on what we expect and what we desire.

If you see yourself as inferior, inadequate, a victim and a failure, you will bring forth from your heart those concepts. You will think those kinds of thoughts and speak those kinds of words. You will be setting the boundaries of your life based upon what you “see” with your heart. Faith and unbelief are both products of the heart. Your heart will bring forth your attitude and your vision about yourself, God, and your world.

When you choose to see yourself as God created you to be, you will bring forth the image of victory, peace, joy, abundance, health, and grace. Your life will take a completely different direction based upon the treasure in your heart.

Life is waiting for you to choose. You can choose to see, believe and bring forth the abundant life, or you can allow the enemy and the world to steal your vision, your hope and your desires.

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. (Prov. 4:23)

Warfare Prayer for Marriage Restoration

Here is a powerful warfare prayer for marriage restoration:

Heavenly Father, I come before Your throne of grace, lifting up my marriage to You. You are the God of restoration, the redeemer of broken relationships, and the author of true love. I surrender this marriage completely into Your hands.

Lord Jesus, I plead the power of Your blood over my spouse, our marriage covenant, and every spiritual force attempting to destroy our union. I break every curse, assignment, and legal right of the enemy against our relationship. I render powerless every demonic strategy sent to divide us.

Holy Spirit, I ask You to move mightily in my spouse’s heart. Where there is bitterness, plant forgiveness. Where there is anger, release Your healing balm. Where there are wounds, bring supernatural restoration. Soften their heart that was once hardened and create a new spiritual landscape of love, trust, and reconciliation.

I declare warfare against the spirit of divorce, separation, and marital destruction. I bind the spirits of rejection, unforgiveness, pride, communication breakdown, and sexual immorality. No weapon formed against our marriage shall prosper. I release God’s divine intervention and restoration power.

Father, I repent for my own shortcomings, mistakes, and areas where I have contributed to our marital challenges. Cleanse me, heal me, and transform me. Make me an instrument of Your love, grace, and restoration. Give me wisdom to walk in humility and understanding.

Lord, I speak life over our marriage. I declare healing, reconciliation, renewed passion, and divine alignment. Let Your supernatural love flow between us, breaking down every wall of separation. Restore the years the locusts have eaten and rebuild what the enemy has tried to destroy.

I thank You in advance for the miracle of restoration. You are faithful to complete the work You have begun. Our marriage belongs to You, and I trust in Your perfect plan and timing. Nothing is impossible for You.

In the mighty name of Jesus, I seal this prayer of restoration and breakthrough. Amen.

Prayer for Marriage Restoration

Here is a powerful prayer for marriage restoration:

Heavenly Father, Creator of marriage and Author of covenant love, I come before You with a broken yet hopeful heart. You are the God who restores, redeems, and makes all things new. I surrender my marriage completely into Your loving hands.

Lord Jesus, I stand in the gap for my marriage. By the power of Your sacrificial love, I choose to love my spouse as You love the church – unconditionally, sacrificially, and with perfect grace. Where there has been hurt, pain, betrayal, or distance, I release forgiveness. Not by my own strength, but by Your Spirit working through me.

Holy Spirit, move powerfully in our marriage. Break down every wall of division, every stronghold of bitterness, resentment, and unforgiveness. Heal the deep wounds that have separated us. Restore the love, trust, and intimacy that the enemy has tried to destroy.

Father, I repent for my part in our marital struggles. Forgive me for my pride, selfishness, harsh words, and unloving actions. Cleanse my heart and renew a right spirit within me. Show me how to love my spouse as You would love them.

I bind and cast out every spirit of division, sexual immorality, addiction, anger, control, and any demonic force that has come against our covenant. I plead the blood of Jesus over our marriage, our home, and our family. No weapon formed against us shall prosper.

Lord, rebuild our communication. Give us ears to hear each other’s heart, wisdom to understand, and grace to respond with love. Restore the friendship and partnership that first brought us together. Help us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

Holy Spirit, reignite the passion and commitment in our relationship. Heal our hearts, restore our trust, and breathe new life into our covenant. Where the enemy has stolen, I pray You would restore seven-fold. Turn our mourning into dancing, our wounds into wisdom.

Father, I declare supernatural intervention in our marriage. Send godly counsel, wise mentors, and supportive friends who will stand with us in prayer and support. Break every generational pattern of divorce or dysfunction. Let our marriage be a testimony of Your redemptive power.

I release my spouse from any expectation or demand, and I surrender them to Your perfect love. Fill the empty places in their heart. Pursue them with Your relentless grace. Show them Your unconditional love that never fails.

Thank You, Lord, that You are able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. I believe You are working behind the scenes, orchestrating a miraculous restoration. Our marriage belongs to You.

In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray and declare victory. Amen!

Health to Your Flesh

The Lord spoke to me recently: “You may be spending time in the Word, but is the Word getting into you?” Jesus said, “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.” (John 15:7).

You can know that the Word is in you when you value it above all else, you meditate on it day and night, you won’t let yourself be distracted by the cares of the world, and when it is giving health to your flesh.

His words are Spirit and life (John 6:63). When the Word abides in us, there will be light, understanding, faith, and healing. It is the nature of the Word to heal and deliver.

He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions. (Psalm 107:20)

But it must abide in your heart. Mental assent is not enough.

It is when we only read the Word as an obligation, or as a formula, or to fill our heads, that we are missing the life that is available. When the Word is abiding in you, you have peace and joy. You exhibit kindness and forgiveness. And it is medicine to your flesh.

My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. (Proverbs 4:20-22)

I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great treasure. (Psalm 119:162)

Do His words abide in you? When the Word is your passion, your life will reflect His life.

Mazmur 147:3: "Ia menyembuhkan orang-orang yang patah hati dan membalut luka-luka mereka".

Yesaya 30:26: "pada waktu TUHAN membalut luka umat-Nya dan menyembuhkan bekas pukulan".

Mazmur 121:1: "Aku melayangkan mataku ke gunung-gunung; dari manakah akan datang pertolonganku?".

Mazmur 121:2: "Pertolonganku ialah dari TUHAN, yang menjadikan langit dan bumi.".

Mazmur 121:3: "Ia takkan membiarkan kakimu goyah, Penjagamu tidak akan terlelap.".

“You were created to move mountains!”

Konteks ayat: Dalam konteksnya, "gunung" di sini merujuk pada masalah-masalah besar yang tampak mustahil, seperti penyakit atau kesulitan lain dalam hidup.

Makna: Yesus tidak bermaksud secara harfiah bahwa iman dapat memindahkan gunung fisik, melainkan untuk menekankan bahwa bahkan iman yang sangat kecil sekalipun, jika sungguh-sungguh, memiliki kekuatan yang luar biasa untuk mengatasi rintangan terbesar.

"Sebab Aku berkata kepadamu: Sesungguhnya sekiranya kamu mempunyai iman sebesar biji sesawi saja kamu dapat berkata kepada gunung ini: Pindah dari tempat ini ke sana, --maka gunung ini akan pindah, dan takkan ada yang mustahil bagimu".

Matius 17:20

Instead of saying, I'm damaged, I'm broken, say I'm healing, I'm rediscovering myself, I'm starting over.

Lord, forgive us for the times we’ve used our words to harm, not heal. Cleanse our hearts so our mouths will glorify You. Teach us to speak life, truth, and grace. Let our words reflect Your love. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Your comeback season starts NOW!!!
