2025 – Faith Arise!

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 (NIV) Get ready for all that God has in store. It’s time to get in position for more. Increase is coming your way. All that you’ve been waiting for is being released without delay. God’s about to open up the storehouse and pour out a blessing towards you. You’ll receive the reward for all that you’ve been through. You’ve endured a lot, now it’s time to recover all that was lost. Get your mustard seed faith out and tell the mountain who’s the boss. Double for your trouble and triple for your pain. It’s time for restoration, in Jesus’ name. Take the stance of trusting God and declare victory. Now walk in your Godly authority. With confidence welcome 2025. It’s a new day, let your faith arise! Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Fresh Start

So, as God’s own chosen people, who are holy [set apart, sanctified for His purpose] and well-beloved [by God Himself], put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience [which has the power to endure whatever injustice or unpleasantness comes, with good temper]; bearing graciously with one another, and willingly forgiving each other if one has a cause for complaint against another; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so should you forgive. Col 3:12-13 (Amp.) As you press towards 2025, decide to leave all offenses behind. Let go of all hurtful acts that consume your mind. Be kind and gentle to yourself and others by choosing to be free. Bitterness will hinder you from being all God wants you to be. Cut the ties from the things from the past that keeps you from having peace. The time is now for it all to be released. Wipe the slate clean and stop keeping score. Your mind and your spirit deserve so much more. Remember you’ve been set apart to not harbor unforgiveness in your heart. It’s time for a fresh start. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Behold, the virgin shall become pregnant and give birth to a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel–which, when translated, means, God with us. [Isa. 7:14.] Matt. 1:23 (Amp.) Merry Christmas to all of you. May your family be blessed and your day be full of abundant joy. May you experience the love of Christ today and always. May His saving grace flow to you and through you all the days of your life. As we open packages and gifts from under the tree, remember to cherish and appreciate the greatest gift of all, Jesus. Walk in His peace and find victory in the power of His birth, death and resurrection. The Lord be with you. Let’s celebrate as we go and grow together. Merry Christmas! ADaubon

Be Still & Stay In His Will

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Psalm, 37:7 (NIV) When we wait on God we receive all that is in His plans for us in due season. It may not be easy to wait when you want doors to open quickly. It’s hard to watch others be elevated around you while you’re still waiting for your opportunity. Don’t be tempted to go outside of the will of God to achieve your goals. Everything that seems appealing may not be best for you. Trust that God will open the right door for you at the right time. Continue to seek His face for discernment and divine direction. Then wait for His guidance. What He has for you will come to pass and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Surrender your plans to Him, seek Him for direction, then stay committed to staying in His will. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

My Strength

The Lord is good, A strength and stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows [He recognizes, cares for, and understands fully] those who take refuge and trust in Him. Nahum 1:7 (Amp.) God thank you for your protection. I praise you for divine direction. You keep me in every way. Your unfailing love surrounds me each day. When trouble comes you are my hiding place. When storms arise and the winds blow you keep me safe. The best place to be is in your arms. You’re my strong tower who brings all my storms to a calm. You go before me far beyond what I can see. So, I’ll trust that you are covering me. I’m safe in your hands. Nothing can alter your plans. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon

Cure for the Conflict

Those conflicts and disputes among you, where do they come from? Do they not come from your cravings that are at war within you? James 4:1 (NRSV) When you are not at peace within it directly impacts your ability to have peace with others. If you find yourself in constant conflict in different spaces and places, it might be time to look inward for a resolution. It takes courage to be self-aware and even greater bravery to take corrective action. Take the deep dive inside and choose peace within and without. Pursue joy and take the necessary steps to obtain it. Don’t live in the tornadoes of unhealthy emotions or the storms of unaddressed inner pains and disappointments. If you truly desire a change turn to God, surrender it all to Him, and seek professional help, like a counselor or therapist, if needed. Examine the condition of your heart and allow God to heal you by any means necessary. God heals in many ways. Be open to the process, so you can live in peace. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon.

Pray In His Will & Be Still

But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. James 1:6 (NIV) We can all admit that there are times in life when we need our faith to be increased. It is in those moments that we must command doubt to decrease. For with God all things are possible if we only believe. Place your trust in the Lord and position yourself to receive. Don’t let fear of the unknown eat away at your confidence. When you don’t understand the way ahead rely on God who is omniscient. Walk by faith and let the Lord be your guide. There is nothing you can’t accomplish with God on your side. Whatever you have asked God for, pray that it is according to His will. Then wait on the Lord and be still. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
