Ready to Call It Quits?

So you have had enough? You are sick and tired of being sick and tired. You go to school, hold a full time job, and you have child to care for; along with seeing no end in sight.
Wouldn't it be nice if life gave you a hint of good news coming? Wouldn't it just make your day if you knew the reason why you go through your trials? This would help you push through right? Someone please tell me why I keep doing what I am doing and what the outcome is going to be!
Joshua was told by God to march around the city of Jericho once and then six times. He also told Joshua what was going to happen; the outcome. Next, Joshua called the men of valor and told them to march around the city. However, Joshua did not tell them the number of times nor the outcome as God did to Joshua.
Why did Joshua keep this from his men?
Reading the story, it does not say. However, it does express how the power of God showed up through their obedience. God received the glory and not Joshua. 
Perhaps the reason you are going through your crisis of belief is because God wants to show his mighty power in your life to receive the glory. There is always a higher reason and lesson for the crisis you go through.

~ Be encouraged to press through your life atruggle for the victory is just around the corner. Obedience is your key to success.

Hanging With Doubting Debbie

You would not be human if you didnt hang out with Doubting Debbie once in a while. She sometimes doubts Jesus' capability to work miracles, signs, and wonders. There are people still today who proclaim Jesus is not who He says He is nor can do what He says He can do.
I mean, why should we get our hopes up and expect God to grant us an answered prayer request we've prayed about for years? It would be natural for us to doubt God's power and involvement in our lives, right?

I resolve to not doubt God's capability to take my cup and fill it up.
I resolve to not doubt God's capability to give me the fullness of life He wants me to have.
He wants me to experience joy, love, peace, companionship, and life exceedingly and abundantly above what I think or imagine.
I do not want to resist the truth. God is capable of making a new creation in me.
I refuse to stop believing and seeing Jesus work in my life.
God's mighty strong hand is upon my life and He has great plans for me.

I hope that if you are in a season of your life that you doubt God, you will speak the affirmations above and change your stinking thinking.

~Be encouraged;  God can change your doubt into faith when you decide to stop hanging out with Doubting Debbie. Why not hang out with Fabulous Faith?
