But God.........

You know I’ve learned and still learning, that when God speaks – whether He speaks through His Word, directly to your spirit or through a man or woman of God (make sure it bears witness to your spirit) – our response should be “Yes Lord”. But how many of you know that the enemy, the devil, sometimes talks to us too. When the enemy tries to remind you of the person you use to be, brings up a past deed that’s under the Blood or is constantly bringing up the hard situation you’re going through now, your response (our response) should be “But God”! Everything the devil tries to bring up or say to you, there’s at least one “But God” to throw right back at him. Only a few know of the hard times my family and I have just come through. My husband, who has supported our family faithfully, was let go from his job like so many others Americans. We had just had our youngest son, Gianni, and a week later he was let go. Never in a million years would I have thought something like this would happen to my family, but it did. My husband went on many interviews and had countless phone interviews. We were receiving unemployment of a whole $222 a week for our family of five (5) now. The money we had saved went so fast like we had holes in our pockets. I had to really swallow my pride. I had to apply for food stamps, and my children were on Medicaid. This was not supposed to happen to us. We were tithers. I worked in the church; yet this still happened to us – it does rain on the just and the unjust alike. It’s funny now, but when I first got my food stamp card I was so embarrassed. On my first grocery visit, I asked my mom to go with me because I was just too embarrassed to go alone. I know, I know…… a grown woman needs her mommy to go to the store with her. It got better; I just reminded myself that my kids needed to eat, and eat they did – they eat like adults. So I thank God the food stamps were there. Through this time, there was some serious spiritual warfare going on; I really had to fight the good fight of faith. The enemy would tell me that I was failure, but I knew this was a lie. I would remind the enemy “But God told me in His Word that whatever I set my hands to prospers”. I have a prosperous family – I am prosperous as a wife, a mother, child of God. The devil would tell me “You’re going to have to be on food stamps for the rest of your life. You’re just a statistic”. But God supplies ALL of my needs according to His riches, not mine, not what I have in the bank, but according to His RICHES in glory through and by Christ Jesus. He is Jehovah Jirah, my provider. God is my Sheppard, and I lack NOTHING!! I confessed this EVERYDAY. And you know what, even though we were on food stamps and Medicaid, My God continuously opened up doors of financial opportunity for us. My husband is an IT Guy. Just when the devil would tell me “You’re not going to have enough money for all the bills this month”, someone would call and ask Aaron to fix their computer. We NEVER missed a bill (we did have to make an arrangement a couple of times for our rent, but it was always paid within the month). BUT GOD!!! My confident trust has strengthened due this hardship in my God. Yes, I wished it could have been strengthen another way, an easier way, but Your way Lord. There isn’t anything He can’t do. If you have the GREATER ONE living on the inside of you - I don’t care what you are going through, you WIN! I don’t care what the devil may say “BUT GOD!” You are not going under; you’re an overcomer, in Jesus’ Name. You are not cursed; you are blessed. You are blessed in the city, and you are blessed in the country. You’re on top and not beneath. Just continue to say what God has already said. No matter what you are faced with – But God! Not matter what the others or the devil may say “But God”! Don’t go out like that; stand firm and confident that YOUR Lord, God can and will take care of you, bring you through victoriously and is more than able to deliver you! BUT GOD! Two small words, but if you can believe them they have the power to change your outlook and your situation. But God – Do you believe? We win! Remember there's a sinner's prayer on this site. If you have back-slid or haven't tasted and seen that the Lord is Good, say this prayer. You don't have to be in a church building to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. There is a moment that will happen, and it will happen in a twinkling of an eye (as fast as you can blink), and those who have confessed Jesus as Lord and have walked according to the Word of God will be raptured up to be with Him forever and ever. Yes, it sounds too fantastical to be real, but don't take the chance that it's not and be left behind. So don't put this off. No one knows the hour or the day when this will take place, but it is for us to be ready when it's time to go. The first step is to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. If you say this prayer, contact me; let me welcome you and personally encouraged you in your new life with Jesus! Did you put your armor on today??? Be Encouraged Today!!!
