“NOW HEBREW 11:1”
Now see yourself in the place you’re desiring to be.
Now do in your present the things in your future you’re expecting to see.
Now keep your eyes on your vision and let your past go.
Now walk in God’s promises and live like it’s so.
Now speak out loud your destiny every day until it’s done.
The more you speak, see and do, your destiny, you will become.
THE BIRDS SING
The birds sing to God while flying with beauty and utter grace.
They never compete with each other, for they understand the challenges they must face.
Always having a place to land, they have no worries for they’re in God’s hands.
They soar to God’s purpose, never questioning or wondering why.
They trust in their creator, for they know that He will guide.
So, if you’re wondering why the birds sing, it’s because they trust God and praise Him for everything.
For just like the birds, we must sing too. We must sing and give God praise, for to Him honor is due.
BE THERE BEFORE YOU GET THERE
Be there in your spirit. Touch it with your heart.
Know that God is with you, even from the start.
Let faith be your friend and doubt your enemy.
Prepare to receive with gratitude and expectancy.
Be There Before You Get There
EXCEEDINGLY RICH
I am now exceedingly and abundantly rich in every area of my life, for the rest of my life.
You are now exceedingly and abundantly rich in every area of your life for the rest of your life.
We are not exceedingly and abundantly rich in every area of our lives, for the rest of our lives.
SPEAK GOD’S WORD
Speak God’s word. He’s placed in your spirit.
God is trusting you to speak, so that all may hear it.
Speak God’s word and speak the facts.
So that all of us, through God’s word, will have no lack.
Speak God’s word loud and speak it out; so that we all can have faith in place of doubt.
GOD IS BAD
God is bad. He’s bad to the bone.
He is the King forever sitting on His throne.
Jesus is always interceding, making intercession for the saints.
You know the saints that always pray and refuse to faint.
God is bad. He’s bad to the bone. He always loves me.
In Him I’m never alone. So every time I wake up to God these words I’ll say, thanking you Lord for having your way.
God is bad. Don’t you ever get it twisted. If you think it’s all about you, guess what, you really missed it.
God is bad. He’s bad to the bone.
JESUS IS COMING
Jesus is coming, God’s only begotten Son.
He may be coming for all or He may be coming for one.
When your time is up, will you be ready to go?
Will your answer be yes, or will your answer be no? Will death take you by surprise?
Tell me, where will you be when you open up your eyes?
Will it be heaven or will it be hell?
Are you just waiting to see what time will tell?
Now is the time and now is the place. Receive God now while He extends His love, mercy and grace.

Now is the time to say God I surrender all. Help me Lord; to be ready when it’s me, oh Lord, you call.
He may be coming for all or He may be coming for one.

Jesus is coming, God’s only begotten Son.
CAN I TRUST YOU?
Can I trust you to obey my will?
When I bless you, will you leave me or can I in you, be revealed?
Can I trust you, to live for me, so that others can be set free?
Can I use you as an example that others may see the promises I’m willing to give? Can I trust you so that others may see me in you and live?
Can I trust you with my glory? Are you willing to tell my story?
Can I trust you with my plans to share with others in distant lands?
Can I trust you?
THE BEST RIDE IS WHEN GOD DRIVES
When people, things and circumstances in life are slowing you down, don’t get discouraged, give up and lose ground.
But stay focused on the road ahead. Let God drive you to the living and from the dead.
Follow God’s divine driving force. Don’t be deterred, but stay His course. Around the traffic of life. God is taking you.
For it is God’s destiny that you will reach when He gets through.
So enjoy the ride!!!!!
For the best ride is when God drives.
I’M TOO…
I’m too achieved to be deceived. I’m too elated to be frustrated.
I’m too equip to quit.
I’m too completed to be defeated.
I’m too inspired to be expired. I’m too excited to be quiet
I have too much vision to lack provision. I’m too grateful to be hateful.
I’m too good to be misunderstood. I have too much power to be a coward.
I’m too anointed to be disappointed. I’m too blessed to be oppressed.

I’m too wise to compromise.
I’m too committed to God to forfeit God. My dreams are too great to deviate.

CONSUMED WITH GOD’S POWER

Don’t let your present to be consumed with your past. Live for today and tomorrow. Embrace all God has. For you God has many promises. So don’t be deceived. You’ve sought God earnestly.
Now His promises receive.
This is your moment, your minute, your hour to be filled with His presence; consumed with God’s power.

LET US REJOICE IN OUR LORD
Let us rejoice in our Lord when things just don’t make sense.
Let us rejoice in our Lord, for in Him we have confidence.
For He’s always working things out for our good. Even though we don’t praise Him as much as we should.
Let us rejoice in our Lord with great adoration. For God always exceeds our expectation.
Let us rejoice in our Lord no matter what comes our way.
Let us rejoice in our Lord and let us rejoice everyday.
LORD, I AM EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY RICH
Lord, I am exceedingly abundantly rich in thought rich in action, rich in faith, filled with compassion.
Lord, I am exceedingly abundantly rich in your spirit, rich in your truth, rich in your victory you predestinated in me from my youth.
Lord, I am exceedingly abundantly rich in your presence and glory from above.
I am filled with the essence of your beauty and your love.
I AM BECAUSE YOU ARE

You are King of kings.
You are the Lord of lords.
You are my God in whom my soul adores. You are the lifter of my head.

You are my water, my living bread.
You are the glory of the spring, summer, winter, and fall.
The heavens and earth rejoice. You are the splendor of them all.
The sun in its brilliances; the moon and stars at night, all honor You with praise by shining with all their might.

You are the heat in the summer.
You are the cold and the winter chill.
You are the creator of all the elements for they bow down at Your will.

Lord, there is nothing in life that is better by far than to know that I am because You are.
THERE IS A SOUND
There is a sound although not audible to the natural ear.

The sound is only accessible to the heart that is sincere. A heart sincere with compassion, happiness, goodness, joy, peace and love that abounds; is the heart that can attest, oh yes, clearly, there is a sound. There is a sound pouring out miracles and blessing divinely fashioned from God above. There is a sound available to all those who are willing to receive and share God’s love…

There is a sound, although some may not agree.
The sound grows nearer to all that will listen to God with sincere hearts and believe. Yes, there is a sound.

MAXIMIZE YOUR TIME
Maximize your time. Don’t waste it. Let it benefit you. Always keep God first in everything you do.
Maximize your time.
Acknowledge God in all of your ways. He will grant you good success, long life, and yes, blessed days.
Maximize your time.
Don’t procrastinate. Now is your opportunity. Tomorrow might be too late.
Maximize your time.
Don’t wait another day; take the time to hear God’s voice. For in Him you’ll never stray.
Proverbs 3:5-6
DON’T NEGLECT GOD’S GIFTS
Don’t neglect God’s gifts that He has placed in you. But, use God’s gifts to honor Him, for if you don’t, God’s gifts you’ll lose.
Use God’s gifts when He gives you favor and opens Heaven’s doors.
Use God’s gifts He’s birthed in you and He will give you more.
Don’t negl
