A little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation:  I the Lord will hasten it in his time.  (Isaiah 60:22)

        The Lord has given us a word for 2026.  “Exponential Increase” is available for His children.  I am expecting God to move in a mighty way!  I really believe this will be the year when we look back and say that’s when it all started.  So get ready and do not fear to expect good things from God.  He loves us, oh how he loves us!  Jesus loves me this I know…

        With any move of God there is always opposition.  The forces of darkness will always attempt to thwart the plan of God.  I believe a key word that we must adhere to is FOCUS.  God’s plan cannot be moved, delayed, or stopped.  Keep moving.  Keep praying.  Keep seeking.  Keep listening.  You are closer than you may think.  

        I had a dear sweet sister say something so profound in Sunday School last week.  We were talking about what to do when your faith seems to fall short.  She stated to be careful what you get involved with.  Could it be that we sometimes may get involved with something that isn’t even for us?  Check with God to see if that is something that you are supposed to be entertaining.  If not, you are being distracted.  FOCUS.

        Whenever God is about to bless you, the devil will surely send somebody with an “arguing  spirit”.  One way to stifle the move of God is to let strife in.  Since we are made in the image of God, are spiritual make mirrors that of God.  Just like He is love, we are as well.  To engage with someone in a striful manner is serious folly.  Always choose the way of love.  It may seem like you are taking the weakest path, but your spirit is getting stronger.  FOCUS.

        The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.  (Proverbs 27:7)

        Whether or not distraction is going to come through your flesh or the devil, it is going to come.  One way to neutralize distraction is by keeping a full spirit.  As much as I love pecan pie, I would be very reluctant to eat it on a full stomach.  Why? I am full!  I am satisfied.  Our spirit works the same way.  If you keep your spirit full of the Word and the things of God, you will be too full to consume fleshly things.  Stay full.  FOCUS. 

        Exponential Growth is coming.  Prepare now. Glory!
