Are you tired? worn out? or burned out?

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11:28-30 MSG

Do you feel overwhelmed? Are you always tired? Does every day seem like an uneventful routine? Are you tired of hearing about the good life but your reality seems far from it? I have good news for you, help has arrived!

Stop trying so hard, your works won't yield the desired results. Lean on grace, that's how to truly live. At times, if we are not careful we can get carried away with trying to do all the right things to get God to bless us. You don't have to pray or fast to get God to do something for you. Now they are both great and necessary, however they have their place. Prayer is for fellowship purposes and fasting is done in order to be sensitive enough to hear from God concerning a particular thing.

The bible tells us that God has given us ALL things (2 Peter 1:3). We gain access into these things as we learn to walk with him and learn from him. God didn't create us and dump us on Earth to figure things out on our own. We were created to dependent on him for everything. 

Jesus Christ came to the Earth to give us grace (John 1:17). Grace is God's supernatural ability given to us to live the abundant life (John 10:10). You don't work for grace; it is a gift (Ephesians 2:8; Romans 11:6). In the above scripture, we have an invitation to come to Jesus and recover life! Accepting this invitation leads to rest...no more being tired, worn or burnt out. Grace is unforced, it is a flow (1 Corinthians 15:10).

Religion will tell you otherwise. It will tell you that you have to follow a set of rules to please God. Religion will tell you that you're a sinner and you'll never be right with God. Religion will tell you that it is normal to be poor or sick. But that's not God's Will for you; it is all lies.

All God wants is a relationship with you. All God needs is your faith (Hebrews 11:6). Put your hands in his today and allow him to lead you; with each step taken in and by grace. Stop trying so hard, Jesus did all for you on the 
cross (Galatians 3:13-14). 

Are you ready for the good life? Step out in faith today! Trust me you won't fall, Jesus is waiting for you with open arms.

Confession: Heavenly Father, today I make up my mind to walk and work with you by Grace. I rest in you in Jesus' name. Amen.



Prayer starter: Heavenly Father, thank you for your grace. Today I ask for strength and wisdom to live the life that Jesus came to give me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

You're blessed!

Oh How I LOVE the name JESUS!


And I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father's glory will be shown through the Son. If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14 GNT)

It was a cold Sunday morning in January. I was on my way home with my sister, cousin, and friend from a church prayer retreat. I was exhausted and I had about a two hour drive. I slipped in a CD, and about twenty minutes into the drive I woke up to the car spinning on the highway. All I could do was shout "Jesus". A few minutes later, we landed on the right shoulder of the highway with no damages to ourselves or the car.

What happened?: I had fallen asleep behind the wheel, when I woke up the car was skidding on black ice and I instantly stomped on the brakes (big mistake). After I whispered "Jesus" a few times, I felt the car being lifted in the air from the left lane of the highway and being gently placed down on the right shoulder. What saved us??? It was the name of Jesus!!!

There is power in the name of Jesus. Real power, absolute, miracle working power (Mark 16:17-18).

You won't benefit from this power if you are not fully aware of its potency.
There's nothing that can override the power embedded in the name of Jesus. In this name lies access to three realms: Heaven, earth, and hell (Philippians 2:9-11).
The believer is given this name to function authoritatively. The name of Jesus is our birthright. The name of Jesus spoken from our lips bring him to center stage. He takes the spotlight and addresses the situation as we speak his name. Whether it's healing, safety, financial provision, family issues, etc.

Jesus was given the name above all the names, all the power that exists belongs to him (Matthew 28:18). We were given the permission to make demands with this name. So what's stopping you? Don't be ignorant of what you've been given. It's a powerful tool that nothing can't resist. Use the name of Jesus today! Speak to your situation or circumstance in the name of Jesus. As you speak, whatever does not glorify God in your life must bow. 

There's power in the name of Jesus!!!

Confession: Father, thank you for the authority that I've been given in the name of Jesus. I declare that I believe in the wonder working power of the name of Jesus. Amen.

Prayer starter: In the name of Jesus, I speak to every situation that does not glorify God ---mention here--- in my life. I declare that you will begin to prosper according to the perfect Will of God. Amen

You're blessed!
