“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.””
John 16:33 NKJV
I love that Jesus shares His heart here. To those who will listen and who will trust in His voice.
He promises to create a place of peace, even during times of trauma, uncertainty, and pain. His truth offers us confidence in the fact that God is with us.
Don’t let the devil rob you and steal your joy. We are in the midst of the greatest storm, and we already know how the story ends.
He knows you are weary, He sees what is going on. He is not panicking and saying, “Oh my, how did this happen?”
Even when you are afraid, keep on trusting Him. Don’t wait until you understand everything to trust Him. He does His best work when we place our trust in Him even when things seem like they are going the opposite direction.
He is reliable, and He is always on time. His ways are always better than our ways.
Pray, and don’t let up. You my friend, are not alone. God will never leave you nor forsake you.
Stay focused on the fight. Occupy till He comes!
Carry on soldiers!❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸

Happy Sunday morning warriors! I came across this devotional from You Bible and though it was worth a share, for such a time as this.👇🏼
The Lions' Den
We sometimes think that if we’re doing it God’s way, we’ll never get into trouble or difficult situations.
WRONG!
Daniel was a powerful man of fasting and prayer, committed to God to the extreme. Yet today you’ll read that his enemies set him up to be destroyed by the very thing that set him apart: his devotion to God. Daniel was doing it right, serving God with everything he had—and it lands him in the lion’s den.
Shouldn’t God have stopped that? If God was really with Daniel, don’t you think He could’ve kept these jokers from nearly killing His boy, Daniel? You’d think that if anyone would be spared troubles, it’d be someone who prayed like Daniel, right? But that’s not the narrative of the Book of Daniel—or, often, of our lives.
Daniel had his best chance to represent God, not by dodging an appointment with the lion’s den, but instead by getting dropped right smack dab in the middle of it.
What would happen if we shifted our energy and our prayers from asking God to help us avoid problems to showing His greatness right in the middle of them? After all, that’s what He does again and again in the Book of Daniel—God shows up, and the most powerful kings in the world find themselves humbled by His power to save.
Jesus told us, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). We’re going to face “lions”—that’s certain. The question is, “What will you do about it?” Will you doubt God’s goodness because you’re in a difficult spot? Or will you pray for an opportunity for Him to show up big in the middle of your trouble?
God wants prayer to be your steering wheel, not your spare tire.
If you’ve been treating prayer like your last resort instead of your primary option, I urge you to start praying like Daniel today—humbly, specifically, and persistently. In advance, during, and after. Don’t just ask Him to keep you from having troubles; ask Him to wow the crowd when you walk out of your “lions’ den” and give Him the glory.

I mean this with all of my being.
Good morning warriors!
I started making some tik toks to show the depravity of this World while sprinkling in my own humor. It really pisses the enemy off when I point them out.
I made one pointing out Converse, and my most recent was pointing out Tony Hawks blood deal he made😳

In a recent conversation with a close sister in Christ I was reminded of the story of Moses when he was commanded by the Lord to lift his rod up with his arms to keep winning the battle against the Amalekites in Exodus 17.:11-13
When Moses’ arms got tired, the Israelites would lose but when Aaron and Hur assisted him on each side by supporting his arms Joshua’s army won the battle.
Today, we are in that same situation. I believe God wants us to take back the land. America, in our case. As you can see we are in the midst of that right now.
We all need each other. Never underestimate the influence you have with one another.
Acknowledge your limitations. We were never meant to fight our battles alone.
Cling to the One who knows your future.
“Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them.” - Joshua 1:6
Think of Joshua as he prepared to lead the Israelites into Canaan—a place overrun by their enemies. (Now that sounds familiar)
Although God promised them this land, the journey to obtain the promise was long, hard, and filled with uncertainty.
Perhaps that’s why God reminds Joshua: “Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous…” God knew Joshua’s secret concerns, and so He spoke to the fear in Joshua’s heart. (Excerpt from the following devotional) 👇🏼

This came across my FB feed. Worth sharing for those who have littles in their lives. 🥰
Don’t feel sorry for or fear for your kids because the world they are going to grow up in is not what it used to be.
God created them and called them for the exact moment in time that they’re in. Their life wasn’t a coincidence or an accident.
Raise them up to know the power they walk in as children of God.
Train them up in the authority of His Word.
Teach them to walk in faith knowing that God is in control.
Empower them to know they can change the world.
Don’t teach them to be fearful and disheartened by the state of the world but hopeful that they can do something about it.
Every person in all of history has been placed in the time that they were in because of God’s sovereign plan.
He knew Daniel could handle the lions den.
He knew David could handle Goliath.
He knew Esther could handle Haman.
He knew Peter could handle persecution.
He knows that your child can handle whatever challenge they face in their life. He created them specifically for it!
Don’t be scared for your children, but be honored that God chose YOU to parent the generation that is facing the biggest challenges of our lifetime.
Rise up to the challenge.
Raise Daniels, Davids, Esthers and Peters!
God isn’t scratching His head wondering what He’s going to do with this mess of a world.
He has an army He’s raising up to drive back the darkness and make Him known all over the earth.
Don’t let your fear steal the greatness God placed in them. I know it’s hard to imagine them as anything besides our sweet little babies, and we just want to protect them from anything that could ever be hard on them, but they were born for such a time as this.

Ok folks, I am being vulnerable and transparent here. Like Kailee said “I have no idea what I’m doing”. With that being said, one thing I am learning is when God tells us to do something we should obey quickly. I am new at all of this, please forgive my nervousness. Ha, ha. One thing I forgot to mention, I am also a RN of 35 years. Not quite retired, I still have an active license. Anyway, glad to be here. Let’s see what God does here. Blessings -Paula
Good morning warriors!
I thought it would be cool to do a Tuesday Testimony, and take moment to share some testimonies of my encounters I’ve had with strangers. I will share one story every Tuesday.
I know that when I hear people share testimonies it encourages me, plus it is exciting to see how God is touching peoples lives.
Also, I think it would be cool to hear some of your testimonies as well.
So every Tuesday, I encourage you to share something you have personally experienced that God has done either for you or someone else.
I had posted earlier on this channel a prayer list that I ask God every morning. I find that when our hearts are open to His agenda, He will most often provide opportunities for us to reach and encourage others. —Paula
1. Even now Lord, give me an opportunity to reach someone today.
2. Lord, give me a word of knowledge that includes supernatural revelation by the Holy Spirit about something that is important to you.
3. I have a busy day scheduled Lord, but I surrender my agenda for yours anytime today.
4. God is going to do something amazing today!
