Good morning my family.  I just feel it in my spirit to say to someone this morning, DON’T GIVE UP. Whether you are a Christian or not.  You may feel like the whole world is crumbling down with all that is going on, not knowing which way to turn. Keep rising!

To the Christians, I say God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.. (2 Timothy 1 vs 7).. So be not afraid,  use what God has given us. The question is asked “WHAT is in your hand?” Use the weapon that God has placed in your hands. Take authority over everything that is weighing you down. Our God is a God of hope, so put your trust in him. Keep rising!

To those who are not Christians, its a simple thing, just seek the Lord while he maybe found….(Isaiah 55 vs 6)  God is calling you and you should heed HIS call. In Jesus there is peace and contentment.  God is not calling you to a bed of roses, you are going to have hard or rather rough times but God promises to keep, protect, and watch over you. With this in mind you can endure like Jesus did for us. HE died because of his love for mankind.  So give him a chance and you will never regret it. 

Let us all stand on the promises of God, knowing who we are and whose we are. We’re not serving a dead God. “HE is RISEN.” Let us come out of our crippled state, Take up our beds and move forward for Jesus.. I don’t know what your bed is this morning, but whatever it is, give it to Jesus and let us be on the move for our savior.  There are souls to be saved,  delivered and set free. Have a blessed day, stay strong (Ephesians 6 vs 10) and keep rising.
