Did You Invite God in?
You are more than a conqueror!!

“… in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us,” (Romans 8:37).

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose,” (Romans 8:28).

“There is no question that God is standing with arms wide open to receive us, the questions is, are we inviting Him in every area of our life?? He will not enter forcefully, but it is His desire to be intimate and involved in our lives… not just on Sunday or at Bible study, or after we have exhausted all other “options,” but in every breath we take and move we make, He wants to be our FIRST love and not just an option!!

Did you invite God into your day?

In this generation, there is a greater deception than ever before that self dependency, sufficiency, and reliance is what makes us successful and popular on the social and economic ladder. However, I have noticed it also leads to a greater amount of self pity and self destruction. Why? Because, expectation, hope, love, and what seemingly creates success, in ourselves, rather than in GOD, who is the perfect embodiment of LOVE & Victory Himself!!

We see an increase in people who want to mentor, train, coach, and teach people one day, and then are depressed the next day. This angers me, because I know the devil is stealing, killing, and destroying on the battlefield of their minds.. We know he brings oppositions and challenges, and that is why I teach more about the relationship and intimacy with God than anything else! Nothing is more important to me than the relationship. My confidence has never been in religion or myself.. it has always been in JESUS and the Word of God!! Apart from Him, we can truly do nothing!! Today, choose to put all of your love, faith, and hope in God and find rest and peace in the promises of His unfailing love, and renew your mind in His Word that never returns void..!!” David E.
