“Be of good Cheer!”

“For I am reminded once again today that my Father, King Jesus, is in control over me and my life and all that takes place within it. Amen. He reminds me that in this world we will have tribulation, but to be of good cheer, for He has overcome the world (John 16:33). Hallelujah.

And that is not always easy to remember in the middle of life and all that comes along with it. Amen. Situations can suddenly appear in this world we are living in, and sometimes they catch us off guard. Amen. But to know Him, and to know that He loves us and that He alone is for us, means everything. Amen.

For we are of God and have overcome, because greater is He who is within us than he who is within the world (1 John 4:4). Amen. So today, as with any other day, I encourage myself in the Lord. I claim and speak God’s Word over me and my life, and over my family and their lives. Amen. Over our health and against all the schemes of the evil one and all his nasty tricks that he tries to bring upon us, God’s children.

Because I want to remind us all that the Lord is our shield and our glory; He alone is the lifter of our heads (Psalm 3:3). Amen. And we are more than conquerors through Christ and all of who He is (Romans 8:37). Hallelujah.

So today I just wanna say this maybe, like me, you have received bad news, and maybe you are a little shaken by it. Amen. But isn’t that what happens when you are in your boat of life, so to speak, and the waters are raging and the boat is rocking? You may feel shaken, maybe even a little sick to your stomach.

But I also came to remind us that the Lord is in control over us, and that He alone has the final say over us and everything that concerns us. He is in our boats He is with us, He never will leave us and He has known us from day one. Amen. He has a good and great plan for us and our lives.

And today we may feel a little stirred, maybe even a little scared, but I want to proclaim that God is with us and for us, fighting for us, and He has overcome it all. Yes, the winds and the waves and the storms may come, but we are held and kept in our Father’s hands always and forever. Amen.

So whether here or there, we are His always. And nothing and no one can ever snatch us away from Him, and His love, and His mercy, and His grace, and His divine healing and favor that He has spoken over us, His children.

So let us receive God’s Word today. Let us have faith and believe it, for without faith it is impossible to please God, but with it we can move mountains. For all things are possible to those who believe (Mark 9:23). So we declare that we believe we believe every report and every word that God has said. Amen.

And then we receive it all by faith, in Jesus’ name. Amen and Amen. For we serve a great big God who can do anything and as I like to say, anywhere, and anytime, that He alone chooses for He is Lord. He is Creator. He is over it all and above it all. There is no one like our God. He is ruler, and He reigns victorious. He has defeated death, hell, and the grave (2 Corinthians 4:8–18). Praise the name of the Lord!

So we accept it all, we believe it all, and in turn we receive it all from our Heavenly Father. Even now, Dear Lord, let it be done over us. Amen and Amen!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
