In Your Darkest Hour

I have a few different people in my life who mean a lot to me that are going through very serious tests right now. It breaks my heart but I know I can’t do anything for any of them except speak what God puts on me to say. I was just now remembering that the last thing Jesus said on the cross was, "It is finished." And at that moment it certainly looked like it was over. But even though it looked like the end, in reality, we know it was only the beginning.

I know it’s so hard to do when you’re in your darkest hour but you really must remember to speak in terms of faith. Check the bible – nothing moves the hand of God quicker than faith! So even though you’re not sure how it’s all going to work out, even if you feel helpless and hopeless, you have to keep declaring His promises over your circumstances. It will not only set Him up better for the great miracle He’s about to perform in your life but it will bring calm to you in the meantime. I’ve learned that God sometimes won’t change our circumstances until we submit to being changed by Him ourselves. We’re thinking, “If only my circumstances would change,” when God may be thinking, “If only your attitude would change.”

I urge you to make today the day you refuse to allow how negative things may seem right now to direct whether you keep your faith in God or not. You have to remember that the Creator of the universe is still in control. And He not only knows every detail of your situation but He’s promised to take EVEN THAT WHICH WAS MEANT TO HARM YOU and turn it around to bring you up into that next greater level He has prepared for you. Friends, keep declaring your faith in God’s promises and get ready because I believe you’re about to see that painful situation turn around! Declare with me by faith, we are beginning a new and amazing chapter in God’s plan – TODAY!
