Making Up The Difference

No matter what weakness you may think you have, no matter what setbacks you’ve encountered, God wants to give you His divine strength. He wants to make up the difference and move you further ahead than you ever thought possible.

One time in the Old Testament, God simply multiplied the sound of 4 men’s footsteps and caused them to sound like a mighty army. When their enemies heard them, they took off running. There were thousands of enemy troops running for their lives, scared to death, thinking they were being attacked by a massive army when in fact, it was just 4 people! What happened? God made up the difference.

Friend, God can make you seem bigger than you really are. He can make you appear more powerful. He knows how to multiply your influence, your talent and your income. You don’t have to figure it all out; all you have to do is put your trust in Him. If you will wake up every day expecting His far and beyond favor, then you’re going to see Him make up the difference in every area of your life!

Metamorpho

On the inside of each one of us is a blessed, prosperous, victorious person. This person is free from addictions and bad habits, confident and secure in God. But just because that’s in you doesn’t mean it’s going to automatically come out.

The bible says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…" That word, “transformed” in the original language is, “metamorpho.” It’s where we get our word, “metamorphose.” We know how a caterpillar metamorphoses into a butterfly. This is saying that if you meditate on God’s words, then a transformation will take place.

Think about the little caterpillar. It’s very plain, nothing really special about it. At a certain point, it forms a cocoon. The metamorphose starts to take place. It’s a process. Little by little it changes. One day, it begins to push out of the cocoon. Before long, it goes from being one of the plainest insects to being one of the most beautiful. Instead of having to crawl on the ground and squirm around, it can now fly wherever it wants to go.

Today, why don’t you break out of your cocoon? Believe that God is at work in you. Believe that He has good plans for you. Believe that He will complete every good work that He’s started in your life!

You Have To Tune In

Right now, there are hundreds of radio frequencies in the air, hundreds of television signals all around you. But, you don’t hear them all. The reason is that you’re not tuned in. If you tune a radio or television to one of those frequencies, then you would pick up the signal.

In the same way, God is constantly transmitting to us. He wants to lead us, guide us, protect us and give us insight. But too often, we’re not tuned to His frequency. God doesn’t usually speak to us out loud. He speaks to us through subtle things; normally He leads us by what we have the most peace about.

The best way to “tune in to God’s frequency” is by meditating on His words. The more know His nature, the more you know His voice. It’s like when you listen to the same radio station a lot, you learn that DJ’s voice. It’s the same idea. The more you tune in to God the easier it will be to recognize His will and experience His best for you in every situation.

That’s DEEP

Who do you share your deepest secrets with? Most people only share their inner thoughts with those who are closest to them. People they trust. People they’ve gone through tough experiences with.

Do you know who God share’s His secrets with? The bible says, “That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.’ But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.”

God wants you to know THE TRUTH about what He thinks of you. He wants you to know about the awesome plans He has for you. He wants to show you things you’ve never seen, heard about or even imagined.

As a believer in Jesus, you are His child, but you are also His friend. He wants you as His closest companion. He wants to walk with you, talk with and share with you. What a wonderful, amazing thought — we can know God’s thoughts because we are one with Him. Open your heart and allow Him to share His deep secrets with you today.

Too Hard?

The bible says, “I am the LORD, the God of all humankind. Is anything too hard for Me?” Know that with your heavenly Father, all things are possible! Nothing is too hard for Him. You have to make a choice to stand in faith, choose to trust, and begin to declare for yourself every blessing He has promised you.

There is no telling what God will do if you’ll dare to believe in Him. He’s the Creator of the entire universe! Why don’t you stretch your faith today and give God something to work with? Meditate on all of His assurances and abilities because nothing is too hard for Him!

Think, Tidal Wave!

Friend, I believe God wants to release a flood of His power in your life. Not a trickle, not a stream, not a river, but a flood. A flood of increase, a flood of healing, a flood of ideas. Don’t get stuck in a rut believing for small things.

Don’t settle where you are because you think you’ve reached your limits. No, you need to get ready. Through my eyes of faith, I can see a tidal wave coming your way. It’s not a wave of defeat, a wave of bad breaks, a wave of more of the same. No, things are shifting. It’s a wave of increase, a wave of favor, a wave of healing! It’s God releasing His goodness like a flood. It’s going to help you to overcome that obstacle. It’s going to cause you to accomplish your dreams.

Today, why don’t you dare to believe? Don’t just think “trickle” and barely get-by. Switch over into faith and start thinking “flood.” If you’ll believe for His overflow, God can bring you into overflow. If you’ll dare to believe “tidal wave,” then God will release a tidal wave of His goodness in your life!

Speeding Things Up

We’re living in a day when God is speeding things up. What should have taken you a lifetime to accomplish, because you honor God, He is going to do in a fraction of the time. God is going to give you breaks that you didn’t deserve. He is going to bring the right people across your path. You’re going to see opportunity like you’ve never seen before. You need to get ready; you’ve come into a shift.

Think of it like a car. When you shift from second gear to fourth gear, the engine is still running at the same speed. It’s not working any harder, but you’re going faster. You’re covering more ground. The higher gears have greater capacity. They’re designed to go faster. In the same way, because you’ve kept God first place, He is shifting you to a higher gear. You’re going to go further, faster not because you’re working harder trying to make it all happen, but because it’s your time for acceleration!
