91 Days of Victory – Day 46 (2026/04/14)

 

Honestly yesterday could not have been worse. From the moment I woke, I was in a battle. My work and the amount overwhelmed me, and I got frustrated and irritated and finally angry. Then the battle with my daughter, the whole court case got the better of me and finally it seemed as if everyone and everything was coming at me with some sort of weird thing. My first wife was funny, and in the end, I worked until eight to try and get done what needed to be done. In the end I had failed, fallen and probably grieved the Holy Spirit more than I should have. I could not get up today and finally driving to work seemed pointless. Sin is designed to destroy us and if we allow it to control us we fall into the trap the enemy so cleverly and obviously places. His tactics never changes, we just become susceptible to it, and we allow it in. How do we defeat or overcome when we are weak and vulnerable. God simply says “I am your refuge and your strength. I am always ready to help in times of trouble”. All we need to do is to turn to Him, get our attitudes right, ask Him for help us and listen to His Word. God says here in Psalm 46 that we should become still and know His is God. To me that means that we should block the voices of the world and allow the Holy Spirit, that still small voice to speak into our hearts and allow God to be God. He will step in at the right time and clear our paths and open the doors we need. We have to remain strong and patient in the Lord. Have an awesome day, my friend.

91 Days of Victory – Day 45 (2026/04/13)

 

I am tired from a weekend full of work and running between soccer, my daughter and the church and I can feel it all getting to a point where I am overwhelmed by circumstances and worries. God simply says that His throne is forever and this world remains a temporary residence to us. God is a God of justice and He hates evil. He has anointed us to walk into this world and carry with us every where we go the gospel. Living it, telling it and sharing it wherever we go. Some days it can be difficult and some days it is easy, the important part is where we draw our strength from. My dear friend, your strength comes from God who created the heavens and the earth. Seek the kingdom of heaven above all else. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 44 (2026/04/12)

 

Those who are a thorn in the side of the enemy will always be under attack and remember he is a cunning enemy who wants to devour you at every corner. We are reminded today that all will be well. It is in our words that we either lose the fight or win the fight. It is our response to difficult situations or unexpected events that determines the outcome. God simply says that we must trust in Him and the words that He speaks and the promises that lies in the Bible. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. In Psalm 44 I am remined that we do not rely on our own bow or our sword (our own plans and solutions), but we rely on and trust in God because He has already given us victory and He has already overcome this world and He has already defeated satan and He has already defeated sin. We are free from bondage so live free from it. Speak life over every challenge and stand with me in agreement that all will be well all the time. But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Have an awesome day, my friend.

91 Days of Victory – Day 43 (2026/04/11)

Why do we get discouraged? Why do we get sad? Sometimes it is a situation or sometimes it is pain or sometimes it is someone. Day by day we live to do what we have to do to survive, and we try to get along with all the stuff and things around us. We work, we eat, we love, we share, we sleep and we live. Sometimes darkness comes at the most unexpectant time or moment and we are steered into a storm of trouble that leaves us unprepared or even weakened or exposed. David must have had many days when he was overwhelmed by situations or enemies, and he often writes about these days. One thing David did that I believe is mostly the essence of his success and that is, that he always went to God first every time before he made a decision or when he was in despair. He writes here in Psalm 43: “Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live. There I will go to the altar of God, to God - the source of all my joy”. This by far is the essence of how we will succeed and overcome all things. By simply putting our hope in God. And praise him again and again. He is our Savior and our God. Have an awesome day, my friend.

Words and pictures

They say a picture paints a thousand words, but sometimes our vision is blurry, and we miss the heart in the picture. I have walked many paths in this life and none of them perfect and I have made many mistakes, and they were all my choices. It is when we find ourselves on the mountain looking down into the valley that we forget how deep and how difficult the valley was. We forget the blood that saved us when we were lost and we neglect the very things that brought us to the top of the mountain.

We become ignorant to the little things as we desire only the bigger more visible things. A broken heart can be healed but a broken spirit takes resurrection power to be restored. Now we look into a mirror that is vague and distorted, and we look and see not what is before us, but what is behind us. It is a fallen mentality that drives us into despair and hurt, and loss becomes the very altars we build.

We look but we do not see. We seem fine yet we are sad, we smile yet there is pain in our expression. We carry scars but the world cannot see them. We hurt yet we do not show it.  We get up, we carry on but we do not know how far we will go before the wheels come off and the end of our rope is all we have in our hands. Life is a mere moment in comparison to what awaits us in eternity. Yes, we may face impossible odds, are they impossible.

Maybe from a worldly human perspective, but looking from a resurrection perspective,  I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Jesus is alive and the same power that rose Him from death is in us. This world will fill your head with lies and deceit, but the Word of God is truth and in it we find all the answers we need to overcome anything.

The enemy may think he is winning but Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life” and He has defeated everything for us on that cross. It is done, so let it be done. Stop looking for the living among the dead, our God is alive and in Him is life and life in abundance. You can do anything through Christ who strengthens you so prophesy over the dead areas and speak life over everything.

Believe it and live it.

91 Days of Victory – Day 42 (2026/04/10)

 

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. This morning my soul, my heart just longs and desires God. Paul writes in Romans 10: “There is no one righteous, not even one”. We all fall short, but we are all made new by the blood of Jesus, and we all have Him living in us. Our Pastor said this morning there is power in you. Jesus’s location is in you because as He is in you, so are you in Him and because He is I am. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit (Romans 8). Yet, we fail so many times, and we continue to make mistakes daily. It is a tough to stay on the right path and to live righteous, yet we forget that Jesus knows the battles we face and we will receive the power to overcome temptation and the obstacles in our way. That is why it is so important that we live by the Spirit and not by flesh. Flesh makes us fall but the Holy Spirit makes us strong. I am close to discouragement as I stand before God and just surrender it all, all over again. When we fall or face impossible odds the important thing is not to stay down, but to stand up again and face the storms. It is important that we resist the enemy and listen to the Word of God. It is important that we seek God more in these days and praise Him even when we are completely broken. My dear friend, come with me today as we just humbly put our hope and our trust in Jesus, our saviour and our Lord. So, that we can be restored by His blood to step back into the saddle and to keep fighting. God is the God of impossibilities, and He moves when it seems lost or impossible or even when it feels it is too late. There is nothing too difficult for God – just have faith for we walk by faith and not by sight. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 41 (2026/04/09)

 

This morning was a busy one. Car had to go in for a service, I needed to make a few calls, do the gym thing and realign my head to the work process that seems a bit overwhelming some days. Psalm 41 as we reach day 41. Blessed is he who considers the poor, now with this in mind I am reminding you of Jesus’s words “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me”. We should never judge a book by its cover, and we should at all times remember that Jesus did not die for a certain group or stature, He gave His life for all, and all people are entitled to His salvation through the price He paid. Much am I forgiven for so much must I forgive. The promise that lies here in Psalm 41 is very interesting as David writes “The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies”. Now just rephrase this: Jesus said doing it to the least is as if we do it to Him and here God says if you are good to the poor, you will be preserved, blessed and He will deliver you from your enemies. Sounds good? Sounds awesome if you ask me. So, today I am challenging you to take our invasion of love up a notch. Be kind to all people and when you can, help someone in anyway you can from a bar of soap to a bottle of water or merely being friendly to them. There is enough nonsense in the world so a little cheer can go a long way. My dear friend, always know that God is pleased with you and your battles will not overcome you. God will uphold and uplift you, just keep going. It will all be worth it. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 40 (2026/04/08)

 

I waited patiently for the Lord to help me… these words flood my thoughts today as my battles increase. I am reminded of the words Jesus said in Matthew 16: Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?”. It is my choice to follow Jesus, and it is my choice to seek Him above all else. Yes, many troubles surround me and there are those who seek my destruction, but despite all this I will stay on this path and trust the process. Just as my Lord had to carry my burden, I will gladly take up my cross and face whatever this world has. Satan has no power over us, and he is under my feet. No weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. Today my words are simple “May all who search for the Lord be filled with joy and gladness and may all who love salvation rejoice in the Lord. May the Lord keep us in His thoughts. He is our helper and our Savior and in Him we put all our hope and trust. Please Lord, rescue us and come quickly to help us. In the might name of Jesus”. Have an awesome day, my friend.

91 Days of Victory – Day 39 (2026/04/07)

 

I can honestly relate to every word David writes here in Psalm 39. It is hard to not say anything, to not give my ex-wife a piece of my mind. As David writes in verse 2 “But as I stood there in silence - not even speaking of good things - the turmoil within me grew worse”, I can fully relate and understand how he must have felt. Some days it just consumes us as we battle with our minds and our thoughts to say the right thing and to do the right thing. I do not know your battles, but as I stood before God this morning, I am reminded that people may not see or know what we face and how it affects us, but God does. He knows your heart and He sees what you face. Paul said God’s grace is enough and I believe that. I believe that His grace in any given moment surpasses the attempts of the enemy and it washes away any guilt and agony we may have due to the very lies the enemy builds against us. As much as he tries to destroy us, we are renewed in God’s grace and His mercies renews every day, just we must also ask the Holy Spirit to renew our minds and set us again on our paths as we keep fighting regardless the burdens, the worries, the pain and the strain on our day to day living. David writes that we are mere moving shadows and that our lives is but a moment comparing it to the width of your hand. My dear friend, life is short but more so – precious. You have only one life and in this life, we must live to please God, be obedient and reach the lost at any cost. The only thing we can take to heaven is people, and we should never take that for granted. I know it is hard but love always overcomes all evil. Jesus was a classic example in His sacrifice on the cross. We are to do the same. Come with me today as we live to show Jesus to this world and take as many to heaven as we can. Have an awesome day.

91 Days of Victory – Day 38 (2026/04/06)

Sin destroys, and the Holy Spirit will always convict us through our conscience to know when we are wrong. I love how David is so pure and open here in Psalm 38. He cries out to the Lord seeking forgiveness for his transgressions. Now, I am not a perfect man and many times I fail and fall in my words, actions, thoughts and disobedience. This whole weekend we saw how uncomprehensible God’s grace and love is. Looking at Jesus again carrying my sin and my burden to the cross so I can have everlasting life and be free from conviction and sin, and I am speechless. I can relate to David in verse 4 “My guilt overwhelms me - it is a burden too heavy to bear”. In the same thought we know that Jesus came to take that burden away and it is merely the lies of the enemy that overwhelms us. Yes, our enemy(ies) seek to destroy us, and this world is broken and lost, and the name Jesus is frowned upon because of this. Yet in the last days many will return to Jesus, and I believe we are in the last days. Thus, it is even more important that we reach out to everyone around us and tell the gospel and live the gospel. David writes in verse 21 and 22 “Do not abandon me, O LORD. Do not stand at a distance, my God. Come quickly to help me, O Lord my saviour”. Jesus is not at a distance, in fact He is right there with you. He knows your pain, problems, difficulties and challenges and He will come to help you. Trust in the Lord, His time, His will and His process for it will all come to pass and the meek shall inherit the world. You are more because He is more. Have an awesome day, my friend.
