A Hard Place

God is changing your story!

GOD is changing your story!! Lo debar: - Land of nothing Mephibosheth: Mouth of shame.  2 Samuel 4:4 (AMP) Take a look at the story of Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel 9:1-13. Remember * People may have dropped you and thought you'd be forgotten, but like Mephibosheth, GOD is changing your story. * Don’t let the shame of your past or present stop you from crying out to GOD. The King of Kings is beckoning you to draw near to him – the first part of James 4:8 (AMP) says -  Come close to God [with a contrite heart] and He will come close to you.  The table is spread – healing, love, forgiveness, restoration etc. Whatever you need is available at the Kings table. It's not over until GOD says so!!

A Hard Place

We've all been in a hard place at some point in our lives. I pray this episode encourages you if and when you find your self in that place again. Psalm 118:17 - (KJV) I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. Isaiah 43:1-4 - (MSG) But now, God’s Message,     the God who made you in the first place, Jacob, the One who got you started, Israel: “Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you.  I’ve called your name. You’re mine. When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you.   When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you’re between a rock and a hard place,  it won’t be a dead end— Because I am God, your personal God,   The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you:  all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in! That’s how much you mean to me!  That’s how much I love you! I’d sell off the whole world to get you back,  trade the creation just for you.

REJOICE!!

Regardless of what you're up against, it's still a good day to REJOICE because the LORD made it! Psalm 11:24 - This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 103: 1-2 - Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

JOY

What is Joy?  The inner peace or state of contentment, that no one can take away but can only be found if you're in right relationship with GOD. Go back and meditate on the scriptures below: James 1:2-3, Nehemiah 8:10, John 15:11 Joy of the Lord (Maverick City Music) https://youtu.be/sbFq7YQM1Js [https://youtu.be/sbFq7YQM1Js] **I do not own the rights to this music**

The Promise of Peace

Although there may be chaos all around us, God has gifted us with the promise of HIS PEACE! John 16:33 (AMPC) I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
