“The Lord delivers us out of them all.”

…and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. - Colossians 3:10, NIV You won’t be successful as long as you have a negative image of yourself. Like a magnet, the image you have of yourself will keep pulling you toward it. If you see yourself struggling, barely getting by, having a scarcity mentality, that’s what you’re moving toward. What would happen if you started seeing yourself as blessed, prosperous, talented, having a bountiful year? Then because you have the right image, because you’re in agreement with God, you’d be moving toward abundance, overflow, good breaks, a bountiful life. You’d put your shoulders back and carry yourself as the royalty God created you to be. God’s Word says that when we face adversities, “the Lord delivers us out of them all.” It says that when the enemy comes in like a flood, God will raise up a barrier. If you see yourself as a victor and not a victim, then even in tough times you’ll stay confident, hopeful, expecting God’s favor, knowing that He didn’t bring you this far to leave you. He hasn’t failed you in the past, and He’s not going to start now. Prayer: Father, thank You that I can start this day with a fresh new attitude because You dwell in me and have given me a new nature. Thank You that I can get in agreement with Your Word and believe what You say about me. I’m going to be my best and make the most of this day. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

"Quit worrying about what they think."

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. - 2 Corinthians 3:18, NIV Is your face unveiled today? Are you wearing masks to cover your weaknesses, your failures, your doubts and fears? As long as your face is veiled, you won’t see God’s glory. You won’t see the freedom, the wholeness, the abundance that He has for you. Why don’t you take off the mask? Perhaps you think, “What will people think if I don’t hide my weaknesses? What if they know that I still struggle in this area and need help?” They’ll think you’re real. They’ll think you’re brave. They’ll think you’re honest.  And for those who might look down on you, what they think about you doesn’t stop your destiny. Quit worrying about what they think. There’s always going to be someone who doesn’t understand you, won’t be for you, and tries to make you feel small. But there will be other people God has ordained to be there to help you, to bring you out of the struggle, to lift you when you’re down, to speak victory when you feel defeated. It is so much better to be real, to be vulnerable. Prayer: Father, thank You for the invitation to drop my masks and deal openly and honestly with the hidden issues that hold me back. Thank You for the promise that You are transforming me from glory to glory. I believe that You are working right now to lift me to another level. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.  Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1825910/fan_mail/new]  Pastor Ricardo and Nuvia McCalla and company

"God has Promised "

“Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.” - Genesis 18:14, NIV It had been twenty-five years since God promised Abraham “to become a great nation,” and now at ninety years old, Sarah laughed at the seeming impossibility of having a son. God said in effect to her, “You may be doubting, and you don’t see how, but I have already set the right time.” Even though the fulfillment took far longer than they thought, at the appointed time it happened just as God said.  Whatever God has promised you, He’s already set the right time. It’s already in your future, but you have to understand that God’s timing is not our timing. On the way to your promise being fulfilled, there will be opportunities to get discouraged and give up on what you’re believing for. Don’t live with an “it’s never going to happen” mentality; live with a “right time mentality.” If you knew your right time was coming in one month, you wouldn’t waste time trying to figure it out or be worried. God doesn’t tell us when, but He promises that when the time is right, He’s going to make it happen. Prayer: Father, thank You that I am not limited by my circumstances or seeming impossibilities. Thank You that what looks as though it’s too late to be fulfilled is not a problem for You. I believe that You have the right time, an appointed time, and that You will make it happen. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1825910/fan_mail/new]  Pastor Ricardo and Nuvia McCalla and company

"He’s Holding You Tightly"

“There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.” - Deuteronomy 1:31, NIV When God brought the Israelite nation out of Egypt after being in slavery for ten generations, they were not prepared to survive in the wilderness. There was no food, and water was scarce, yet for forty years they never went without either. God gave them manna every morning and brought water out of a rock when they needed it. He supernaturally protected them against enemies and kept them from sickness on their way to the Promised Land. The whole time He was carrying them, sustaining them, as a father carries his children. On the way to your promised land, to where God is taking you, there will be detours, people who do you wrong, times when you don’t see how it can work out. You don’t have the provision, the dream looks impossible, the obstacle too big. You’ll be tempted to worry, to live stressed out. No, stay in peace. Just as God did for them, He’s carrying you all the way until you get to your destination. You’re in your Father’s arms. He’s holding you tightly. Nothing can snatch you away. Prayer: Father, thank You for loving me so much that at times You take me into a wilderness place to show me who You are. Thank You that no matter where I go or what I go through, You wrap Your arms around me and carry me. I believe that You are bringing me to where You want me to be. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.  Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1825910/fan_mail/new]  Pastor Ricardo and Nuvia McCalla and company

"Take the limits off God "

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will  not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” - Malachi 3:10, NIV If you put God first in your life, the blessings He has for you cannot be contained. You may be limited, but God is unlimited. Take the limits off God and take the limits off yourself. Who says you can’t do something great? Who says you can’t start your own business? Who says you can’t get well? Who says you can’t go where no one in your family has gone? God is calling you to be a trendsetter, a difference maker, a barrier breaker. Quit looking at what you lost, at what you don’t have. The odds may be against you, but the Most High God is for you. You’re not on your own.  You and God are a majority. Nothing can stop what He has purposed for your life. Now get in agreement with God. It’s amazing what happens when you enlarge your vision. You have to believe big, pray bold prayers, and dream great dreams. Give God permission to open the floodgates of Heaven and get ready. He’s about to do something that you’ve never seen. Prayer: Father, thank You that the floodgates of Heaven are open as I put You first place in my life. Thank You that You are pouring out so much blessing that I won’t have room enough to store it all. I declare that I am taking the limits off You and off myself and expecting greater things than I’ve ever seen. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
