God's Favor....It's always there!


God has placed seeds of increase on the inside of us before we were even conceived. We were meant to grow and not inhibit what God has in store for us. His FAVOR! His favor is upon us but we have to tap into it. We have to ask God to show us his favor upon our lives.
I am not perfect. I will admit that to anyone. I am not perfect! There was a period in my life where it seemed like everything was going my way. I was happy, finances were straight, was healthy, and just plain old HAPPY! Every morning I woke up and I thanked God for his blessings. Eventually, things started to change. Maybe I started to relax or I just stopped thanking him for my life and everything in it. I sit back now and I try to pin point the problem. I see that I wasn't happy with my life and not happy with myself. On the outside I was so bubbly and happy but on the inside I wondered why God loved me in spite of me.
Now it's to the point where I am in the process of being happy again. I am enjoying my life, and I am receiving the Favor of God upon my life. So, I have a past. I've made mistakes. I am alive, blessed, surrounded by family and friends. I am so glad God loves in spite of ourselves. I didn't have the sense enough to stop beating myself up. Through faith and my up bringing, I have clinged back onto God and I am not letting go.
What are you going to do? Tap into the favor of God and get your life back. I'm getting back to EDEN so I can live on top of the WORLD!!! I love life and I love GOD. I am not perfect but I am happy!!! God's favor is AMAZING!!!!!

Activating fear and not faith


I am a worrier. I have fears. I am a scardey cat. As of today, I will work on this habit. I have faith but at times I let my fear get the worse of me. It stops TODAY!!! This is the day where I will be guided by faith and not my fear. I learned today from Mr. Osteen that fear is contagious. Here we are worrying about Swine Flu and other germs. Our focus....my focus will be on the negativity that can seep into my mind from my environment.

Peoople will complain, talk about people, and fear the worse when it comes to life's situations. If you continue to hang around these people, you will find yourself doing the same thing. At one point in my life I was living expecting God's favor and just being happy. Hearing this message today, I realize down the line somewhere I lost my faith. I pray but I have stopped expecting. This changes TODAY!!!! I am no longer poor, no longer sad, no longer lonely. I will live a fulfilled life with great health, realtionship, and pleanty of healthy babies. The Lord said he will provide and that's what I'm believing.

Job 3:25 says, The thing that I feared came up on me. So if you fear it constantly, it will come to pass and something will happen. So let's live in faith and continue to believe in the great things that God has in store for us. He is Jehovah Jirah.......he will provide for us. With him being my provider, savior, and Prince of Peace.... I have nothing to fear.

Fear is contagious.....stay prayed up and get your vaccinations. Faith is also contagious....expect God to work in your life. Be thankful, grateful, and live in expectations! He did it for others, why will he not do it for you? He is a God that will never fail you.


Prayer: Father God in the name of Jesus. Lord I just want to thank you for this message on today. Thank you for your favor upon my life. Thank you for being a providing God and a loving God. I thank you for all you've given me. Thank you for helping me reflect back on my life and realizing that I lost it somewhere but now I have the opportunity to try again for you are a God of a 2nd chance. Lord, thank you for what you have in store for me and thanks you that my mind will be right in order to receive these blessings. I thank you for family, my house, cars, children, and loving husband, and everything else you have in store. It is in your gracious and holy name I praise you and wait in expectation. Amen


Hey, the Lord gives 2nd, 8th, and 144th chances. I am the last person who is "right". He loves me in spite of my faults and I am happy about that!! Let's thank God for another day!!

God loves inspite of faults.




While listening to the daily message from Joel, I started reflecting on my past mistakes and failures. I'm not perfect and I try not to pretend to be. I am human. I have made mistakes that I am ashamed of. I am so glad that God forgives in spite of. Just because we have made a mistake or failed, God won't give up on us. He'll still bless us. He's not just the God of "Perfect" people but the God of "Imperfect" people too.

God understands that we make mistakes. He knew the mistakes before we even made them and he also has provided detours for our lives. He just wants us to confess to him and ask for forgiveness. Jeremiah 33:3 states "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great unsearchable things things you do not know." He knows everything about us. He has a plan for us.

I have beaten myself us and also gotten to the a point in my life where I feel like I have messed up to the point where there is no forgiveness. I'm so happy and grateful that the God I serve is a God that forgives no matter what. Everyday I thank God for forgiving me and giving me another chance to get things right. I have shaken off my mistakes and I look forward to God for keeping me, blessing me, and forgiving me.

So what is it that is weighing you down? Shake it off and allow God to forgive you. He did it and continues to do it for me. I'm sure he'll do it for you. Allow God in your life.


Your Destiny Supersedes Your Mistakes.
