You Are A Overcomer Through Jesus Christ
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33 KJV
Jesus came, died and bleed so that we could be saved! And being saved gives us the power to overcome many things that come upon us in our day to day walk with him from the devil, But the Lord has given us the power to overcome our trials,fears and other things that come to hinder our walk with him. For his word declares that on the cross where his suffered, died and bleed that he has overcome them all so that we would have peace, love and joy in the Holy Ghost... So lift up your heads and be encourage to know that you are a Over comer and that your tribulation are just your stepping ground to the victorious things ahead of you for you are a "Over comer" It's a done deal, sign, sealed and delivered by the Lord!!!!

The Power Of The Tongue
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21 KJV
The Tongue is oh so powerful, It can speak Life and it also can Speak Death and the love of that same tongue eat the fruit thereof it.
How you use your own tongue can bring life to you and those around you, It can cause the unsaved one to know Christ as you witness to them to God's Salvation Plan, It can be comfort to those in sorrow that will give them consolation, It can be used to sing the praises of God, It can bring healing to the sick The Tongue oh so powerful but can be oh so deadly. Cause someone to shed a tear, cause someone to never know about the loving God you say you serve.
Often times you can tell where a person is with God by the use of there Tongue, I would like to challenge you to examine how you use your tongue, Weather it's to bring forth Life or to bring Death, I choose to speak life into your life both spiritual and natural and that you have Life and It more abundantly. I speak Life that you may prosper as your soul does prosper in God, I speak life in your health, your finance, I speak life that family members hear the voice of God through you to be saved....
I refuse to speak Death but Life.... So take time to examine what your tongue is speaking, Is it Life or Death?

"If"
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 2Chr 7:14-16....
Greetings beloved people of God, How often do we here this scripture quoted, preached and in return we ask from time to time Why don’t we hear from the Lord, and why are the saints sick, why is sin on a rampage and why aren’t our prayers being heard. Well I often ask the same question until the Lord revealed unto me in prayer and meditation. That the reason we don’t hear from him as we should is before we hear from him, we must follow his instructions to the tee.
The key focus of this verse of scripture is “If” This is the promise of God letting us know what the Lord would do for us "If" we do these things.... for example Humble Ourselves, Pray With Out Ceasing, Seek The Face of God, Turn From The Wicked Ways of Our Lives.
Must Christians/Saints don't want to apply themselves to the conditions that the Lord has given unto us therefore we don't hear from God. Remember "If" we do what been ask then we shall reap the benefits!!!!
People of God it’s time for us to apply the word as is and now as the way we want them to be… Daily examine yourself as much as the other person next to you for in the end it’s you that the Lord is going to question at the time of Judgment… I am Lord willing approaching 40 years of Spiritual Birth being saved at the age of 12 years old and If I but may paraphrase I once was Young but now I’m getting older and I yet to have seen the righteous forsaken me but my blessings have been hinder at times because of not following his word as prescribe but only as I wanted them to be. And it my earnest desires to please the Lord in all of my way that I might reap the full benefits of his blessings. So in closing I pray God choicest and richest blessings unto you and that you receive this Daily Nugget, Remember the key word to this passage of scripture is “IF”

Preparing For Battle
Ephesians 6:10 (KJV)
10. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12. for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Ephesians 6:10 KJV
Greetings in the name that’s above all other name given whereby we must be saved, The Name of Jesus, Once again I am so delighted that you have associated yourself with this ministry, Today I was thinking and the word of the Lord came to me as it relates to Preparing for the battle, Because the war is on an in Ephesians 6: verses 10 to 16 it gives us instruction as to how to prepare to win the race and the battle we face from day to day.
And Satan desires to have you for his own, and he knows that you desire to please the Lord in every way possible so in our everyday lives he brings things against us to literally destroy and to kill us. And we often ask the Lord why are we going through some of the things we go through being saved and filled with the Holy Ghost, We say to ourselves we go to church faithfully, pay our tithes and offering, pray, fast and why doing all that we are yet attacked by the enemy himself.
But as any solider in battle we must always stay on guard and lookout for the devil and the angels of darkness he assign unto us for defeat… We must remain dressed with the Whole Armour of God, Not partial dress but fully dress, A few years back something happen with me that took me for a blow and I set there crying and asking God Why? And the Lord spoke to me so clear and said Son you didn’t have on your entire Armour of God on and the devil saw it and went for the blow to destroy you.
But I the Lord your God block his blow to permanently take you down. I began to example myself, my life, my walk with God, and I sat there thinking I begin to see myself where I had started undressing the Armour of God. And as believers or the faith we must stand guarded at all times, for the devil is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may desire, he is targeting all he may that are not fully dress.
So I encourage you my brother, my sister that we must stay fully dressed at all times as true soldier on the frontline of battle as we are in the last of the last days and the devil himself know his time is at hand and it his desire is to take as many as he can to the lake of fire (Hell) with him for eternity.
So in closing be sure to clothed yourself in the Garment of the Lord’s Army, Surround yourself with the truth (The Word of God) Your bulletproof vest (The Breastplate of Righteousness) Your Feet with Combat Shoes (With The Preparation of The Gospel of Peace) and The Shield of Faith (The Word That Covers You From The Fiery Darts) The ones Satan sends at you while you’re not aware of his presents….
If we as people of God stay prepared we can stand the test, and be more than conquerors through him that loves us, and care for us, if we do our part God will cover and take care of the devil. Stay rooted in his word, pray daily, fast frequently, stay under his blood, his covering, remain faithful to his instructions, and you shall defeat the devil and cause him to back off from you because he has to honor the word of the Lord, It’s when we don’t abide by the word of God that we are wounded and/or defeated. So I encourage you to dress up for the battle at hand…. The race isn’t given to the swift but to the one who will endure unto thee end… So properly prepare for your battle!!!
Because Of His Unmerited Favor, I Humbly Remain!!!!

I've Got A Yet Praise
Psalms 42:11 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
When I consider the awesomeness of God and the marvelous things he has done in my life I can testify that I've Got A Yet Praise! A praise of Victory, A praise of Deliverance, A Praise of Triumph.
While the devil has and will come from time to time to try to defeat our purpose God has given unto us that we are more than conqueror's to him that loves us.
Down through the years and all of my life I have seen and witness the hand of God in my life. I've seen the Lord cover me from danger that lurk to steal and kill me that the Devil had planned for me. But greater is he that is within us that he that is in the world!
What is a Yet Praise you might ask, It's another praise in the forer unto the God, The God of my salvation, Another Praise of Victory from the hand of the enemy, A Praise for his continue faithfulness, A Praise of Thanksgiving, Yet another Praise I've Got for him being God, The creator and giver of Life. God faithfulness continue to grant us the priveledge to approach him, I've Got A Yet Praise!
No need to be castdown, nor defeated for right where you are begin to give him the fruit of your lips and bless his name for things he's already done for you also have Yet Another Praise To Give Him!
In closing as the song says, As I look back over my life and I think things over, I can truly say that I've been bless I Got A Testimony! I've Got A Yet Praise!

I've Got A Race To Run!
Hebrews 12:1 (King James Version)Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
In just about every race you see, Along side of the race you will notice large clouds of witnesses, Some are there to clear you on to victory and other are awaiting on your defeat. But in order to win the race you must remain focus on the finish line(The Lord Jesus Christ), All trainer's tells their runner's to stay focus and to free yourself from all the distraction that surrounds you, And the same applies spiritually in order to get to the finish line you must remain focus and not let those around you distract you, For in every crowd there are good ones and some not some good ones, Such as the sins and the weight of it that come to defeat you. You must keep running, never turning back nor looking to the left nor right just only to be distracted. For the devil is always placing things to get you off track of your final destination, The Finish Line.
And as every runner prepares themselves before the race, We the people of God must stay in shape by applying the word of God in our daily lives, and by fasting and praying, not looking to the left nor to the right but straight ahead to the finish line.
But as for me and my house not only will I serve the Lord, But I will finish the race that has been set before me, Looking unto Jesus, The Author and finisher of my Faith for I've got a race to run! Ready, Set, Go....

Put On The Whole Armour of God
Giants DO DIE!!! The bigger they are the harder they fall... It's amazing that all David needed was a sling shot and a stone. Goliath had all kinds of armor and weapons...
But when God is in the midst of your situation, It don't matter what the enemy has come up against you with, He Can Not Prevail!!!!
The Power of God is far much Greater Than Anything that we face in our lives, Always remember to put on the whole armour of God!
