God Will Trouble Those Who Trouble YOU!

September 7th, 2009

We do not have to go looking for trouble in life. It has a way of coming to look for us! The Bible says, “human beings are born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward”, Job 5:7.

During the time of trouble God can sometimes feel far away. No matter how you feel or how big your problem, God is never far away. For He has promised you this, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you,” Hebrews 13:5.

He also promised, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze,” Isaiah 43:2.

So even in those difficult times, God is still with you and will surely fight for you. Jesus Christ, the One who loves you so much and died on the cross for you, has already paid for all your trouble.

God says, call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honour me.” Psalm 50:15. He also promises to do this for you, “pay back trouble to those who trouble you,” 2 Thessalonians 1:6.

SO What KIND OF trouble are you facing today? Is it, miscarriage? stress and infertility, menstrual issues, marital issues, difficulties in your family or children, financial issues, danger, trial, tribulation, worry, concern, anxiety, care, misfortune, unrest, disorder, bad dreams, discontent, sleepless nights, turmoil, conflict, discord, pain. No matter what challenge is confronting you today I want to point you to Jesus.

God has promised to defend you in times of trouble. All you need to do today is to run to God and cast all your cares upon him for He cares for you.

The bible actually calls these troubles we face minor afflictions. God has promised to fight for you if you will allow him. Praise the Lord!

No matter what kind of trouble the enemy is cooking up against you, this is the only thing God has commended you to do, “Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray! James 5:13. God has given us his word concerning trouble, when you see trouble you are suppose to pray using God’s word and our good God will deliver you from it.

Bible promises concerning trouble:

The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble, Psalm 9:9.

But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless, Psalm 10:4.

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance, Psalm 32:7.

The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD, he is their stronghold in time of trouble, Psalm 37:39.

Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the LORD delivers him in times of trouble, Psalm 41:1.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble, Psalm 46:1.

Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honour me, Psalm 50:15.

God says I am your refuge, this means God is your safe haven, your sanctuary, your shelter, your protection, your place of safety, your retreat, your security, your safeguard, your shied and your armour.

What is a stronghold? A stronghold is an iron grip. God has an iron grip over your life and is defending you strongly by his mighty power from heaven using his powerful Angels. For the bible says “the angel of the Lord encamp around those who fear him and delivers them”, psalm 34:7. Do not be afraid of trouble, open your mouth and speak Gods word boldly in Jesus name rebuking any trouble confronting you and it will flee from you.

Prayer:

I give thanks to the God of heaven; his love endures forever in my life. As for me I will always have hope, because God is my refuge and strength. I will praise you more and more my good God. I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God. I will sing praise to you with the lyre, O my Lord, because I know that you Love me.

I will sing of your strength, in the morning, I will sing of your love; for you are my fortresses, my refuge in times of trouble. Infertility and miscarriage and bad satanic dreams will not destroy my life.

I say it in faith “GOD LOVES ME”. He is my refuge, and my safe haven, my place of safety, my sanctuary, my shelter and divine protection. Yes “GOD LOVES ME”. My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you Lord.

I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God, I trust in God’s unfailing love for me forever and ever. God has granted me relief from days of trouble and dug a pit for the wicked and all those who hate me.

My God is my place of safety, He is my retreat, infertility, miscarriage, fibroids, low sperm count, unexplained infertility, evil dreams, cannot harm me. God is my security and my defence and will always be my safeguard.

I pray O LORD and declare in faith that this is the time of your favour and you have answered me with your sure salvation. God has remembered me and will show his love and his faithfulness to me. All the ends of the earth will see the salvation of God in my life. I Give thanks to the God of gods, his love endures forever.

Praise be to the LORD my God who alone does marvellous deeds. I have cried out to the LORD in my troubles and he has heard me delivered me from all my distress.

Praise be to his glorious name forever. God loves me, and I love him too. See! He has engraved me on the palms of his hands; my walls are ever before him. My Lord will continue to uphold me, I will not be afraid of the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, for my defender is MIGHTY! May the whole earth be filled with your love and glory O Lord my God.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me. Let the heads of those who surround me be covered with the trouble their lips have caused.

For your name’s sake, O LORD, preserve my life; in your righteousness, you have brought me out of all that trouble me.

Whatever they plot against me the LORD will bring to an end; trouble will not come a second time to me. Jesus says in his word, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Jesus has defeated the world for me. I rise up above you satanic dreams, miscarriage, infertility, in Jesus name. “Who shall separate me from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword Or even bad dreams separate me from Gods love? NO! My God is just; He will pay back trouble to those who trouble me.

Praise be to the LORD, my God who has not abandoned his kindness and faithfulness to me and my family but has remained faithful to protect us. For God is the King of all the earth, I sing to him a song of praise.

Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain. Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with righteousness. O Lord you have opened my lips and my mouth will declare your praise. My God is just, He will pay back trouble to those who trouble me.

Finally, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.

Your Praise is Tied to Your Harvest!

July 22nd, 2009

The bible says, “May the peoples praise you, O God; may all the peoples praise you. Then the land will yield its harvest, and God, our God, will bless us. God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear him,”Psalm 67: 5-7.

When you praise God, your land will yield increase. This means everything around you will begin to flourish and bear fruit to the glory of God. Praise is like dew; it waters your life and makes you abundantly fruitful.

The sacrifice of praise opens up the door for God to come in and fight on your behalf.

The bibles say, “He who sacrifices thanks offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God” Psalm 50:23.

As Christians, we are supposed to praise God at all times, but sometimes, the strain of circumstances causes us not to feel like praising. Problems like miscarriage, delayed menstrual cycle; male or female infertility, ovulation problems, financial and marital issues may make us not want to praise God.

But we do not have to live by our feelings! God expects our praises, in spite of our problems. When our negative emotions rule over our spirits and we are frustrated, we may think that no one understands how we feel.

Well I have got good news for you! God understands; that’s why praise is called a sacrifice (Hebrews 13:15). Praising God in difficult times becomes a sacrifice and with such sacrifice God is well pleased. God is saying to you today your thanksgiving is “a way maker” If you want God to come and fight for you, you need to begin now to thank and praise Him for the answer.

When you praise God, you are expressing your faith in Him. You are telling Him, “Lord my case is too small for you to handle. You are dependable and reliable! I am not offended in you, I trust you Lord”. “You are not responsible for my situation; you are my savior from my problems”. “Lord you are my helper and my Lord!”

How did Abraham get his miracle child Isaac? The Bible says: “he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised”.Romans 4:20-21. What about you? Are you fully persuaded that God can meet all your need? If yes then begin now.

Start giving glory to God, instead of looking grief-stricken and broken-hearted; put a smile on your face. Unhappiness and misery creates a habitation for your enemy so let singing and rejoicing replace the depression in your home.

Psalm 22:3, says, “God inhabits the praises of his people.” This means as you praise him, he will come down to live in your home. An atmosphere of praise attracts God’s presence and commands His blessings and establishes fruitfulness upon the person praising Him. Praise is an invitation that God cannot resist.

When you are singing and praising the Lord this makes the enemy really mad. When next the enemy tries to make you sad and down cast, get out your dancing shoes and give God a “dance offering” Let the Lord know that you appreciate Him and that you are fully persuaded that what He has promised you, He is able also to perform.

When you do that, all the worry and anxiety in your home will give way and the joy of the Lord will fill your life. The bible says, “At midnight I rise to give you thanks for your righteous laws”. Psalm 119:62

In your midnight hour, when it looks as if you are battered and beaten and defeated and every one has forsaken you, rise up and give God praise. He will raise you up from the pit of infertility and miscarriage and trouble and give you a new testimony of fruitfulness that the entire world can see.

When you are tempted to murmur and complain quickly switch to praise and worship, and watch God step into your life. The bible says, In Isaiah 54:1, “Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labour; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the LORD.

Are you ready to take a step of faith to prepare God’s hand to move in your situation during your time of trial and temptation? God wants to bring you to such a position of strength that even in the greatest trials and testing’s you face-when it seems everything is falling apart and your problems seem insurmountable-you will be able to look the enemy in the face and offer up a sacrifice of praise to God knowing He will deliver you. Praise the Lord!

Prayer: Please open your mouth and Praise God!

Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.

I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever. You have done everything for me. I praise you. All my troubles are washed away in the blood of Jesus and am set free to praise you. Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. Praise the Lord. Amen!

A Special Prayer For a Man Or Woman Who Feels Intimidated by Others Or the Circumstances of Life

July 20th, 2009

None of us gets through life without meeting trouble and sorrow at some point or another. At such times you may even wonder where God is; you may not feel Him near you and may even be tempted to ask, “Why?”-Hebrews 13:6, promises you that you can, “say with confidence, the Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

Pray today with great boldness and confidence knowing that no one can harm you because the Lord is your helper. Please always open your mouth and pray loud and and clear. The creative power of God’s word works as we speak out in faith.

Prayer:

My heavenly Father, thank you for being my constant helper. I ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; I worship the LORD in the splendour of his holiness. Because I know his word is true, I will not fear what other people or circumstances shall do unto me.

You are my light and my salvation, of what then shall l be afraid? You are the strength of my life; therefore, I will fear no one. Thank you for these precious truths in your word, Father, your word gives me all the grace and strength I need to go on living a joyful life.

Even if I should have to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, because I know you, Lord God, are always with me. Psalm 99:5 says “I exalt the LORD my God and worship at His footstool; for He is holy.

Jeremiah 17:8 also says ” I will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. I will not fear when heat comes; my leaves are always green. I have no worries in a year of drought and will never fail to bear fruit.” What a great promise! By them I can stand secure.

Thank you for always being with me. I will not be afraid or intimidated by anyone or anything, neither will I be dismayed. I exalt the LORD my God and worship at his holy mountain, for the LORD my God is holy. I place my full trust in you, Father, and I will not fear what anyone can do unto me. I trust your Word, Father which tells me, “Be not afraid of him, for I am with you to save you. I believe you are always with me and will save me from all evil.

Your Word gives me faith to take my stand against all intimidations. I am strong in you Lord God, and in the power of your might. I will be of good courage, for you will strengthen my heart as I hope in you. Psalm 100:2 says “Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs”. He is the one who will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.”Praise God I am delivered from all my enemies, nothing can bully me any more In Jesus name.

I know you love me, Father, and you have not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, and love and of a sound mind. I resist all fear and intimidation now in Jesus’ name. I command all fear and intimidation to depart from me. I thank you, O God, for always giving me victory through my Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
