How many times did you hear a true champion speak with doubt? How often did you hear a professional boxer say, “It will be a tough fight; we will just have to wait until Saturday and see how it all works out.” Never, because doubt will knock you out before you even begin. If you […]
As followers of Christ, we believe that our God is a God of abundance, and He desires to bless us in all areas of our lives. However, sometimes we limit ourselves by thinking too small and not trusting God for bigger opportunities. We forget that with God, nothing is impossible, and He can do exceedingly, […]
“Dreams are extremely important. You can’t do it unless you can imagine it.” ~ George Lucas Whatever image you hold in your mind will determine your future. You can’t hold an image of failure and expect to live successfully. In fact, the image you hold in your mind tends to manifest itself outwardly. Highly successful people have the […]
Psalm 121:1-2 (NIV) 1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. We are to lift our eyes up and focus on the Lord. The question we have to ask ourselves is, “Am I looking to God first when […]

James 1:2-4 (NIV) 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. “Really?
