“If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you” (John 15:7, NIV)

In life, we all have ups and downs. There are seasons that are more difficult than others, seasons of testing, trials and temptation where our character is being developed and our faith in God is being strengthened. Sometimes it can feel like you are taking two steps forward and then three steps backward. But if we’re not careful, we’ll start thinking that life is always going to be this way. Even in the strong seasons, you’ll start looking for things to go wrong.

God doesn’t want us to be living life like a roller coaster. He wants to bring us to a place of stability where we remain strong in Him. Jesus said, “I am the vine. You are the branches. If you abide in me, you will bear much fruit and your fruit will remain.” The word “remain” means “to be fixed, immovable, not affected by circumstances.” If you will just keep abiding in Him, just keep meditating on His Word, He’ll bring you through. He’ll make you strong, He’ll keep you stable, and you’ll keep moving forward into the life of blessing He has prepared for you!

What do you have need of? You have not because you ask not.  What do you have need of? You must make up your mind about what you believe. Do you believe that I AM who I say that I AM? I ask you the same question that I asked Peter.  Who AM I? I AM all that My Word says that I AM. You must believe this with your WHOLE HEART♥ Do you believe My promises one minute and doubt them the next? A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.  You are saved by My blood.  You have become My child.  I withhold NO good thing from you.  It is the Father’s GOOD PLEASURE to give you the kingdom.  As I AM, so are you in this world.  The world does not dictate to My Child what your situation is. MY WORD is truth! Be BOLD and DO NOT BE AFRAID! Do not listen to the enemy whispering DOUBT and FEAR into your ears.  Speak MY PROMISES of HEALING, DELIVERANCE, PROSPERITY, and JOY UNSPEAKABLE! Drown the devil’s words OUT with PRAISES! I INHABIT the praises of My people! Make your mind up once and for all that you are tired of lukewarm faith, and come to Me! I have sent the Holy Spirit with FIRE to give you BOLDNESS in the day of trouble! Your enemies have been defeated at the CROSS! ONLY BELIEVE!

For though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again… Proverbs 24:16, NIV.

Life is full of things that try to push us down. We all face disappointments and setbacks. Maybe you received some bad news about your health or perhaps a relationship didn’t work out. That was a setback. It’s easy to get discouraged or lose your enthusiasm or even be tempted to just settle where you are. But if we’re going to see God’s best, we have to have a “bounce back” mentality. That means when you get knocked down, you don’t stay down. You get back up again. You have to know that every time adversity comes against you, it’s a setup for a comeback!

Remember, as a believer in Jesus, the same power that raised Christ from the dead lives on the inside of you. There is no challenge too difficult, no obstacle too high, no sickness, no disappointment, no person, nothing that can keep you from your God-given destiny. If you stay in faith, then God will turn what was meant to be a stumbling block into a stepping stone, and you’ll move forward in strength, full of faith and victory!
