We’ve got an encouraging word for you today . . . no matter what you’re facing or going through at the moment.

You may feel like you’re not able to give, go, sow or do what you’d like to do for the Kingdom of God but there is one thing that you not only can do but you are scripturally mandated to do.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 in the Amplified Bible says:

“Therefore encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify (strengthen and build up) one another, just as you are doing.”

I find it interesting this verse doesn’t say. . .

“Encourage one another if you like them. . .if they go to the same church. . .play on the same softball team. . .work in the same department. . .ride in the carpool you do. . .dress like you do. . .smell like you do. . .talk like you do.”

Guess you’re getting the point. . .we’re to encourage others and that means all others.

I vividly remember where I was sitting when the Lord dropped one of the most powerful financial confessions I’ve ever heard. . .into my spirit.

Debt is disappearing.

Lack is leaving

Poverty is fleeing

Faith is increasing                 

Money is multiplying

Wealth is accumulating

Generosity is growing

At first, I thought God was giving me a great confession to be used in my seminars, church services and TV broadcasts.

Then suddenly, I realized it was much more. . .I knew He was giving me seven confessions to change our financial lives.

Have you ever said, “I’ll get around to it?”  Did you? 

When we say that, it generally means we know we should . . . but we’re not going to do what we need to.  That is until we’re faced with something motivational like the reality of the consequences we’ll face for a failure to act.

It’s time for you to get around TUIT.   No more procrastination. 

Webster’s New World Dictionary defines procrastination as:

“To put off doing something until a future time; to postpone or defer taking action.”

Are you a procrastinator?  Here are ten questions to help you determine if you’re a procrastinator:

If it isn’t obvious that we’re living in the end-times. . .just read the headlines in your local newspaper or on your favorite internet news source.

There’s an old Ray Charles song entitled “If It Wasn’t For Bad Luck.”  One refrain of the song says:  “if it wasn't for bad luck y'all. . .Oh! I wouldn't have no luck at all.”

It seems the news media has adopted that philosophy and terminology.  If it wasn’t for bad news. . .there would be no news at all.”

We’re not minimizing the troubles in the world. . .they are plentiful. . .but we don’t need to get caught in despair over what’s happening around us and to us.

Here are seven ways to overcome troubled times.
