Do You have a Plan?

What is your IDP? What is an IDP you ask? It is an Individual Development Plan. What do you plan to do with this life you’ve been blessed to have? Ok I know you get up and go to work or school but what’s next? In business, we ask what are your 1, 3, and 5 year goals. I challenge you to start developing your life goals. Aspire to go higher. Create a fast track to living the life you want to live!

It’s so easy to get stuck in a rut, be comfortable, and get complacent. Honestly, is that the life you’ve dreamed about? Or have you stopped dreaming altogether? I hope not. With the incredible power you possess within by God, set your sights on going higher and being better as an individual who’s developing goals—planning your work and working your plan!! (Exodus 9:16, Jeremiah 29:11)

WOW! Woman of Wisdom: Hope Beyond Reason

Hope Beyond Reason

Hope thou my soul! My soul hopes in God!(Psalm 43:5)

First let me say that this is not a political agenda of any sort. However, in the midst of the tumultuous state here in this United States of America there seems to be a lack of hope(also known as: courage, expectation, trust, optimism, faith, anticipation, desire, and/or possibility). Hope can best be defined as having a wish to get or do something or for something to happen or be true, especially something that seems possible or likely.

It seems that with the political pendulum having swung in favor of the republicans, that there is much talk of doom and gloom filling the media-air waves. I personally was tired of turning the television on and finding hate campaigns every 2-3 minutes promoting negativity. I can certainly see why people are pointing fingers and playing the blame game…But GOD!

My friends, what does God have to say about it? How about: Faith is the substance of things “hoped” for and the evidence of things unseen. (Heb 11:1) How about this: "And Jesus said unto them ... , "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to younder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you."
(Romans 1:17)

OR

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
(Deuteronomy 31:6)

Then you will have success if you are careful to observe the decrees and laws that the LORD gave Moses for Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged.
1 Chronicles 22:13

All things are possible with God- put your hope, trust, success in Him!

Jeremiah 33:11

While in prayer this morning the Holy spirit began to compel me to let you know to trust in God. He will never leave you nor forsake you! A scripture came over my spirit- Jeremiah 33:11- the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say: “Praise the Lord of hosts, For the Lord is good, For His mercy endures forever”— and of those who will bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause the captives of the land to return as at the first,’ says the Lord.

Father I ask in Jesus name that you sing over each and everyone reading this message right now! Sing over them with a voice of joy, and a voice of gladness- Let your gladness permeate their spirit, Lord you are good to us and your mercy is from everlasting to everlasting- Lord restore us, and bind up any captivity that the enemy may be attempting in Jesus name! Return us to the joy and gladness as before according to your will. Lord I praise you! I trust you! I magnify You o Lord my strength and my redeemer! Praise HIM!

Encouragement...

We all go through some things in our lives. They say if it doesn't kill you it will only make you stronger- that being said here are a few words to encourage you no matter what you may be facing.

Know that God loves you no matter what! Jeremiah 1:5 says that “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart…” We are all precious in His sight. He took the time to know us- in every way, shape, and form! He knows what you are up against and He's here for you! Humbly accept that He made a distinction when He called you. Yes,You are special!

Next we often hear she's the apple of his eye (or vice versa) in a romantic fashion. However, many of us don't know that the quote originated in the Word of God: Deut 32:10 says “HE will guard you and keep you as the apple of HIS eye!” Other people may say or do what they want toward you but GOD! (feel free to shout right there!) He will protect you- and He is so in love with you! You are truly special to Him!

Lastly, know that this is all part of God’s plan. Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future!” Trust in His plan always- regardless of what it looks like or feels like!

Be encouraged my sister, my brother regardless of your situation or circumstance!
