BE INSPIRED : Valley moments are to prepare you to climb up and stand firm on the mountain tops.
In all that we go through, God continues to be with us; looking back we will see every time He intervened and saved us from this world and ourselves. Many of us are going through some things that we may not understand or choose to ignore. When we are confronted with the challenges of life we need to seek God's counsel and not the counsel of family, peers, and associates. God will use these people as a means to getting the information to us but we must first run to Him.
Trust me when I say that God is a Good God and will never leave nor forsake you- if not me the Word, Hebrews 13:5. We have to have the courage and boldness that Jesus gave us by giving His life to go before God and pour out ourselves to Him. Ask for understanding and wisdom. Ask why and what's next? Do not go another day in a situation of poverty, confusion, hurt and pain.God's plan for you is more than you can imagine. But we must first know that He is our SOURCE. He is the One and Only One that brings the true happiness of life - joy, peace, love, wisdom, health etc.
Just remember during your valley moments God is able to plant seeds of what really makes us happy so that when we get the house, car, promotion, husband, wife, child or what we think makes us happy - We will not forget about Him and most importantly we are equipped with the wisdom to maintain our blessings and to bless others in the process.
"He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD." Deuteronomy 8:3

Power in Your Praise
Your freedom is in your praise. Worry not about tomorrow but give thanks for yesterday. You are still standing.
God has not given us the spirit of fear. In our time of waiting, we have the privilege and duty to thank Him for things that have past. While God is able to forget our sinful past, we have the capacity to remember. These memories are not to keep us in bondage and constantly reminds us the defeats of yesterday; use memories as evidence of God's ability to release miracles and blessings. Use the past, even if it's literally yesterday, as proof of God's healing power, prosperity power, and the power to set you free.
Thank God Now and Everyday of your Life.
"And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

True Faith
The foundation of abundant and eternal life is Faith - in the Word and in Jesus.
In order for God to move in us and in our lives we need faith. God can not work where there is no faith. Works won't do it, words won't do it, and intentions will fail. We need faith in order to expect and receive miracle healing, miracle money, and miracle growth. God still performs miracles; many of us do not experience them due to the lack of faith.
We must get to know, love, follow, appreciate and most importantly have FAITH in Jesus Christ and the Word of God.
Have Faith.
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1

Giving
As long as there's support you can always get up.
God is our support system; He is our source. When we give our time, money, and attention to Him and the needs of others we set ourselves up for blessings. When people say it is better to give than to receive perhaps they see giving as a win-win situation. Never think you are at the point where you have nothing to give. Smiles and hugs are free so is love and forgiveness.
Never take for granted the little things and give!
"In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to He is ours receive.' '"

Fly
Don't be held down by negativity or disappointment. You are free to soar!
Never allow the stresses of this life bring you down and steal the joy within. You have to be strong to be a christian; holding on to what is rightfully yours takes endurance. God gave us life, love, and happiness. In this world, there are many things that are designed to take those precious gifts away from you. Believe that God is on your side. He is with you in times of trouble, in times of pain, and in times of strife. He is with you to turn those things around.
Remember you have the wings of an eagle when you have God in your heart. Stop walking and fly!
"And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent." Revelation 12:14

Thank You for the Light
My soul rejoices. Thank You Father.
When thinking about all that God has done one can not help but say thank you. Look back on your life and appreciate all of the good God has done for you. If looking back does not bring any gifts to mind, start by thanking Him for today. We take far too much for granted; living with a defeated mentality robs us of our God-given gifts and talents. Instead of looking for miracles start with the little things and patiently wait for the future blessings.
One thing we must do, as human beings living on earth, is accept the light that shines from above. Negative thinking, resentment, and fear only dims the candle that burns within. Instead, live life with a winning spirit, an open heart, and a willing mind.
The power to both fail and succeed exists within you. Choose wisely which will prevail in your life. Follow the Light.
"The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your Glory. Your sun will never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end." Isaiah 60:19-20

Eradicate Guilt
Guilt leads to spiritual death. Forgiveness and love erases our flaws and hands us grace and strength to correct them.
Our weaknesses are not supposed to remain the same but to be strengthened. We when are able to look in the mirror and take responsibility for our actions we are then able to take the next step in the process of growth which is forgiveness.
Shame and condemnation lead us on a road to no where. Like it is up to us to take responsibility it is also up to us to receive forgiveness and love. Never continuously beat yourself up over a mistake; this is only penalizing yourself over and over for the same crime. Instead learn from your past and apply those lessons to your future.
Remember you are forgiven and loved by God but you have to forgive and love yourself in order to receive His love and plan for your life.
Psalm 103:1-5
Be Inspired...to forgive yourself and others and live life the way God intended - abundantly!

Prince of Peace
Peace is rest; a quiet confidence in God's power and love.
Like a priceless necklace given to you by a special person or a picture of a loved one who has passed on, the peace God has given us needs to be cherished. At times it is harder for us to appreciate the unseen but which one of us would choose to go without oxygen?
Just like air, peace is a necessity to live a prosperous life. Abundance is found in peace, love is found in peace, and God is able to move in peace. Remember the still small voice can only be heard when the loudness of this world is quieted by your efforts to ignore it.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philipians 4:6-7
Be Inspired...to accept and stand on the peace of God.
