In the most difficult trials, God gives you a song in your heart. Looking at the Bible in Psalms 40:3, “He put a new song in my mouth a song of praise to our God.” Jesus is allowed to be king in our life when we praise Him. Another benefit of praise, is your faith in God is strengthened while you’re giving glory to God. Here’s an example, my son Lake told me during his cross country race, he was feeling like giving up. Yet, a praise song came up out of his heart and gave him the extra push he needed to finish the course. In today’s video, see how to allow the song in your heart to come out of your mouth to help you finish what God has started in your life.

Ever notice when you’re in a very intense situation you can’t see any solutions? You have to pull away and think about something else then come back to it later and then you get the answer. You needed to visualize it from a new angle. Today, I want to encourage you with this truth; you are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus! That means you have a higher perspective. You can see above the trouble. Talk about a view from the top! Watch this and be empowered with a new perspective in life!

In troubled times, you are not alone! The word of God tells us to fear not! I was so inspired last week when I heard the testimony of nurses from Lake Charles, LA. During Hurricane Laura, a group of NICU nurses, while their families had been evacuated, they stayed behind to help transported 19 babies on ventilators across town to a hospital on higher ground. All night long as the storm was raging, one of the nurses had a playlist of praise and worship songs playing. Their praises began to fill the halls of the that hospital and they felt the presence of God. The nurses said even though the wind was blowing against the building and the water was at the front doors, their spirits were high because they knew God was with them. In today’s video, remember that in the darkest of times, God is an ever present help in the time of trouble.

🎉Let’s celebrate! 🎉 Today’s Stick With The Plan marks our 200th episode! Wow, I thought when we first started I had 10 messages that God placed in my heart. We didn’t have a camera, no editing tools, or a team to help us. Not to mentions the funds it takes to get started. Yet, we decided to BELIEVE for the DREAM. It would have been easy to give up as a result if the abundant setbacks and tall resistance. Instead of losing steam in the dream, we took small steps towards the dream everyday. One of the first breakthroughs happened one day when our neighbor felt led by God to give us some cash. I looked at that stack of cash on my kitchen table and said, “That’s my camera!” From that day forward, the team members and equipment starting coming into place. Don’t lose steam in your God given dream! In today’s video, be inspired to see God’s provision causing your dream to come to pass!

While each fruit of the spirit is important, without self-control, you won't successfully operate in any of the others. No one wants to talk about self-discipline and self-responsibility but it's time to stop playing the blame game and recognize that self-control is the KEY to every other fruit. Join Carolyn and me as we talk about ways self-control helps us in our relationships, overall well-being, and our spiritual walk.  Sow a seed and help us change this generation before it's too late: http://bit.ly/2B81pjY Give by PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/miracleword Give by CashApp or Venmo: $MWgive Get exclusive emails and our free magazine here: http://bit.ly/2WlgS6N Get text messages from me: http://bit.ly/2XoOapG I want to highly recommend our online training courses found at https://www.miraclewordu.com/ Each course is designed to equip you with biblical knowledge that will give you the fuel to overcome in every area of life. Our brand new course "Mountain Moving Faith" is now available in Miracle Word University!  For more great content, follow me on Instagram: @tedshuttlesworth and Facebook: @MiracleWordMinistries

You have power to resist the enemy! This message is inspired by my 14 month old niece June. When I’m holding her, she refuses anyone who reaches out for her. June will stick her hand out with a straight arm. As if to say, “Talk to the hand!” Hahaha Apply this to your life, just because the enemy tries to give you something negative from anxiety to other sicknesses and diseases does not mean you should just reach out and take it. The Bible tells us to resist the devil and he will flee. God would not have said, “Resist him,” if we did not have the power to do it. In the video, we’re talking about the power we have to withstand the devil and hold on to the goodness God.

You were made to be happy! Don’t let a hurt bind you any longer. Forgiveness isn’t something you do for the person who wronged you: it’s something you do for you. I’ve heard it said like this, refusing to forgive is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. It only ruins your life not theirs. The Bible tells us if you want your prayers answered, then first forgive others like you have been forgiven. Your forgiver is working today. In this video, see how you can let go and allow God to free you from hurts and disappoints because the call on your life is so great, you can’t move forward with that pain. Forgive them for you!!!

The other day it was my son Lake’s 14th birthday. He requested pancakes for breakfast. As I am looking over the directions on the box of Bisquick, option #1 was called, The Classic Pancake. I was reading over option #2 called, The Ultimate Pancake. As I looked over those ingredients, I was excited that I had everything that was required. Why settle for the classic pancake when I could make THE ULTIMATE PANCAKE? Immediately, the Lord spoke to my heart and said, “Stop living a normal life, when you have everything needed for THE ULTIMATE LIFE through Jesus!”

When you jump out of your comfort zone into what God is calling you to do, this is the place where GRACE KICKS IN! You’ve heard before, “It’s not your ability, but your availability that matters.” This statement is so true. Think about if you only tried what you were naturally skilled at and never saw yourself doing anything new or adventuring out into the desires of your heart. The Bible tells us that when we are weak God is strong. In our weakness, His grace is actually made perfect in us. So, if God is asking you to do it, even if you feel weak in the area, His grace will come on you and it will be more than enough. Be bold today, follow your heart, and step out to see grace kick in!

Never retreat! Never go back on the ground you have gained. Or in other words, hold onto your victories! God has brought you this far to keep advancing you forward. There is more ground to take. Don’t allow the enemy to pull you back into an addiction or a harmful way of thinking. Once you’ve overcome, put a marker down, draw a line in the sand, and say I will never return! Never retreat from your place of victory in Christ Jesus.

You can hear the voice of God! You may be reading the Bible or praying and feel a little spiritual nudge on the inside. It doesn’t come from your mind but from your heart. That’s how God reveals His wisdom to us. Your Father God wants to talk to you. If you will be sensitive to His promptings on the inside and do not ignore them, you’ll develop your ear to hear God. In this video, we are strengthening our confidence in that God is speaking to us and we hear Him and know Him.

When you think about your salvation, think it’s all-inclusive! Whatever you need and all you can comprehend, it’s in there. It’s not just a ticket into heaven but includes all the promises of God. Some of these benefits include healing, prosperity, freedom from desperation, and the gift of the Holy Spirit. There is no good thing missing in the covenant with our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ. ************************ Cuando pienses en tu salvación, piensa que es ¡todo incluido! Lo que necesites y todo lo que puedas comprender, está ahí. No es solo un boleto al cielo, sino que incluye todas las promesas de Dios. Algunos de estos beneficios incluyen la sanidad, la prosperidad, la libertad de la desesperación y el don del Espíritu Santo. No falta nada bueno en el pacto con nuestro Padre Celestial por medio de Jesucristo.
