WHAT IF…
you woke up every day happy to be alive? What if you woke up every day glad, really glad, to go to your job? What if you woke up every day thankful for the God-given wife whom you chose above all the rest? What if you loved your children and were just as excited to kiss them, feed them, clothe them, and provide a warm, loving home for them just as much as the very first moment you saw them at their birth? Wouldn’t it be great? Wouldn’t it make life easier if you were always “up”? Do you possibly even think you’d be more successful at —- everything!?
What if you looked at everyday as a gift from God – Who always has your back?!
2 Timothy 4:18
The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
YOU CAN!
My friends: this is not only what life can be – but it is what life should be! Why? Because in all things we are to live in honor! One of the most important ways of living honorably (and this only can be done as a child of God, of course) is to be ever-grateful to the One who loved you when you were yet a sinner and now – as a His child – He blesses you more than you can possibly know! And this is exciting!
WHAT IF YOU WOKE UP EXCITED EVERY SINGLE DAY BECAUSE:
YOU CHOSE TO BE AND STAY EXCIED!?
After all, God cannot lie!
Selah.
Beloved, think of the changes this choice alone would make in your life, today, tomorrow, every day until you go to your eternal home – Heaven!
Be grateful now. You see, it is finished – ΤΕΤΕΛΕΣΤΑΙ!
God made you a new creation, (if you asked Him to) a new species! You have passed from death to life!
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
1 John 3:14
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death.
Jesus did take your sin: forgiving you and forgetting them all!
Psalm 103:12
as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Isaiah 43:25
“I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.
What’s that? He took your pain, suffering, transgressions, iniquities and your wounds too?!
Isaiah 53:4-6
Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
What about your God-given family?
Philippians 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
Psalm 37:4
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Acts 16:31
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
Rejoice! And be exceedingly glad!
ΤΕΤΕΛΕΣΤΑΙ!
IT MEANS: IT IS FINISHED!
Choose every morning to wake up EXCITED! Be glad! Be thankful! Choose in advance to be excited! Be excited about everything God has done: everything He has done for the entire realm of mankind! And for you! I challenge you! You will see the momentum of excitement change everything for the better! Jesus is with you and He will never leave you nor forsake you as you continue in Him! Have a planned, everlasting attitude of excitement of what God has done, is doing and will do: this will usher in joy unspeakable!
Herewith is one simple suggestion on how to begin waking up excited – by choice:
“Now I lay me down to sleep, the blood of Jesus gives me peace. In the morning when I wake, the devil, he will squirm and quake. As I speak the good report, my enemy cannot retort; he is filled with wrath and shame, he is a fool and is insane!”
CLAIM THESE:
Philippians 4:7
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Revelation 12:12
Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
Satan’s time is short!
Your peace, joy, love and victories are eternal through Christ Jesus!
Claim them now!
Dear God,
I surrender to you now, right now. I am done in trying to invent a working lifestyle without you. I humble myself and call out to You. I’m done with lying, with pretending, and explaining away ungodliness…
Romans 1:18-21
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
God in Heaven,
I come to You in the name of Your only begotten Son, Jesus. I have sinned. I now believe and know that Jesus is fully God, fully Man. He lived a sinless life and took all of my sickness and infirmities in His body. He died on the cross for my sins. I believe and know that He was raised from the dead so I might be saved from Hell and have eternal life in Your Kingdom with you forevermore.
Jesus, I ask you to be my only Lord and Savior. Please forgive me of my sins and wash them away with Your holy blood; never to be remembered again. Please take my sickness or any health issue I have by the stripes You endured for all mankind…
I will now strive to live my life for You to my best ability and with the help of You, Holy Spirit, I strive to seek You, study You and worship You all the days of my life, which are forever, amen!
I denounce Satan and his kingdom now and forevermore!
I also ask to be baptized in You, Holy Spirit, with the evidence of this by praying in other tongues, my heavenly language.
(To receive your heavenly language – take it by faith – just as you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Simply start speaking syllables – do not say anything in your known language/s. It WILL come – just believe. Satan will tell you it is false – never listen to the father of lies. Pray in tongues every day!)
Thank You, God, for forgiving me, cleansing me, healing me in every way, staying with me and praying with me.
In Jesus name, I pray this, amen.
SCRIPTURAL TRUTHS:
Romans 3:21-26
But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
Philippians 2:12-13
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
Isaiah 53:4-5
Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
1 Peter 2:24
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Romans 10:9-10
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Acts 2:4
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
1 Corinthians 14:2
For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to God. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED! You must continue your relationship as a child of God!
Live this way:
2 Timothy 4:7-8
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day-and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
Hebrews 3:14
We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.
Revelation 3:5
He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels.
Growing up in a home without the love for God, an invalid father, heavy financial hardships, and tremendous (sometimes dangerous) discord is always difficult. Add on to that extreme shyness, a feeling of inferiority, and some may think this girl was rejected. But God’s hand was on her and His heart was for her. Today, Ann Marie Turner has performed many great services in Jesus’ name for the love of God and man; and for herself! She has ministered in the male correctional for over ten years. Along with this website, Ann is the author of Joy Stories, Volume One and The Free Incarcerated Man. Writing about the joy of the Lord and the victory that is available for a willing soul is one of Ann’s now greatest joys! Ann’s prayer for you is to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. Celebrate the God of the Bible and your personal victories in Christ unceasingly! Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
