Ain’t No Grave 💗🙌🏻

Oh, shame is a prison as cruel as a grave

Shame is a robber and he’s come to take my name

Oh, love is my redeemer

Lifting me up from the ground

Love is the power when my freedom song is found

There ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

There ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

When I hear that trumpet sound

I’m gonna rise up outta the ground

There ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh, fear is a liar with a smooth and velvet tongue

Fear is a tyrant

He’s always telling me to run

Oh, love is a resurrection and love is a trumpet sound

Love is my weapon

I’m gonna take my giants down

There ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

There ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

And when I hear that trumpet sound

I’m gonna rise up outta the ground

There ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

Oh, there was a battle

A war between death and life

And there on a tree

The Lamb of God was crucified

And He went on down to hell

He took back every key

He rose up as a lion and He set all captives free

There ain’t no grave

Could hold His body down

There ain’t no grave

Could hold His body down

When He heard the trumpet sound

He rose up outta the ground

There ain’t no grave

Could hold His body down

There ain’t no grave

Could hold His body down

There ain’t no grave

Could hold my body down

There ain’t no grave

Could hold my body down

Oh, if you walked out of the grave, I’m walking too

If you walked out of the grave, I’m walking too

If you walked out of the grave, I’m walking too

If you walked out of the grave, I’m walking too

If you walked out of the grave, I’m walking too

If you walked out of the grave, I’m walking too

Gonna sing about it, yeah

If you walked out of the grave, I’m walking too

I’m gonna meet Jesus

If you walked out of the grave, I’m walking too

Oh, if you walked out of the grave, I’m walking too

If you walked out of the grave, I’m walking too

If you walked out of the grave, I’m walking too

If you walked out of the grave, I’m walking too

There ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

There ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

And when I hear that trumpet sound

I’m gonna rise up outta the ground

There ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

There ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

There ain’t no grave

Gonna hold my body down

Restoration Is Coming

God is a Restorer of ALL that has been lost and stolen in your life. He can rebuild the broken pieces of yesterday and today.

Pursue Him, don’t get hung up in the past and become resentful, angry, and bitter. Forgive and move on and trust God that he will restore to a double portion of what the enemy has taken from you!! What the enemy meant to harm and destroy, God will work for your good, Amen!!

Call those things that be not as though they are.

Big hugs.

God Is In Control

The power of God is not defined by age or circumstances. No matter who you are or what your story is, His strength takes over in your weakness. He will scoop you up in his arms and He will hold you and never ever let you go.

God is more than enough. You may feel down and out or weak and disheartened, but take heart precious one and know that God is in control! He’s got you.

The Bible tells us ‘do not be afraid‘, ‘fear not‘, etc over three hundred times in the Bible. So basically you can have a verse for every day of the year.

The Word Works:

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

 “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.”  Psalm 56:3

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” ~ Philippians 4:6-7

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” ~ 2 Timothy 1:7

“But now, this is what the Lord says…Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.” ~ Isaiah 43:1

“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.” Psalm 94:19

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

“Tell everyone who is discouraged, Be strong and don’t be afraid! God is coming to your rescue…” Isaiah 35:4

“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.” ~ Psalm 55:22

“Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

“’For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.  Do not be afraid, for I myself will help you,’ declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.” ~ Isaiah 41:13-14

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1

“The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.  What can man do to me?  The Lord is with me; he is my helper.” ~ Psalm 118:6-7

“The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.” Psalm 34:7

“I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me.  He freed me from all my fears.” ~ Psalm 34:4

God bless you! Hope you have a blessed and wonderful day.

Victory Belongs To Jesus

Good morning beautiful TOG readers. In case you are struggling and in doubt with things going on around you let me answer the question….The Victory Belongs To Jesus…..Which means it belongs to you precious one!

When everything is coming against you and you don’t know which way to turn, turn to Jesus! He hasn’t left you.

Pray, pray, and pray some more.

Always pray and never give up! Pray until the answers come my friend.

We are right in the middle of 21 days of prayer and I love how God gives us exactly what we need when we need it. A day sooner or a day later wouldn’t mean the same ya know. Today’s prayer service was so on point, it was as if God stood there and spoke directly to me. I had to listen to it twice.

Day before yesterday I was reading a blog called NEVER GIVE UP and it was so good and a onetime word for me and then today’s prayer service message was exactly the same. Let me tell you God is speaking. I have been going through what seems like a never ending battle and have at times been fearful, discouraged and felt like giving up so thankful for sweet friends and family who speak life and encourage me. And because God is such a cool dude He gave me a 2nd reminder in 3 days of how awesome He is. That’s how much He loves you and me.

Won’t He do it sweet friend?

Won’t God bring healing to you? Me?

Won’t God open the right door for you at the exact time you need it?

Won’t He bring healing and restoration to your family?

Won’t He bring victory to our lives at just the right time?

Sweet friend, that thing you’ve prayed for in secret for so long that no one knows about, won’t He bring it to pass?

That miracle, that baby you’ve believed God for for so long…

That financial need, whatever it is I say PRESS IN, let’s continue to stand firm, always praying and never give up.

Pray until we see your answers, your victory, your breakthrough is coming.

Giving up is NOT an option. Stand firm precious one!! He’s working on your behalf and mine. Keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking. God never grows weary or tired of hearing from you or me.

Lord, we come boldly to Your throne with praise and thanksgiving, and we worship You. We thank you for loving us and not giving up on us. I know so many struggling right now who need healing in their bodies, they need strength and peace for the pain and brokenness in their lives. They need restoration, they need a breakthrough. You weren’t caught off guard by anything that’s happened, and NOTHING IS TO BIG FOR YOU! Lord we ask that You move in a mighty mighty way, show yourself strong in my life and those around me. Show your glory Lord, let us walk in Your favor, healing, and blessings. We ask, we seek, we knock and we will keep on praying until our answers come and we will NEVER GIVE UP LORD! Our hope and trust is in You, the Way Maker, the Miracle Worker, and the Promise Keeper! In Jesus name, Amen🙏🏻

Big hugs,

Nicole💗

Back To School Blessing

Dear Heavenly Father,

I thank You for the beautiful gifts You’ve given us. You’ve entrusted us with our children who we dedicate to You. I lift up each each parent and pray you strengthen them and give them divine wisdom and encouragement. Give them the resources they need, and bless each family abundantly.

I lift up every child going back to school, I pray this will be the best year yet. Send Holy Spirit to lead them and protect them.

Help them to learn and grow in your ways and to excel in their classes. Strengthen them and help them to follow You and lead others to You. May Your God confidence be their foundation and Your grace be their guide.

Lord give them eyes to see, ears to hear, and willing and open hearts. Help them walk in Your ways, loving those around them.

Send revival to our schools Lord. May Your presence dwell in each heart, each teacher, each class, and every school.

I pray You would protect them from any harm or danger. Station Your warring angels around each child and school and let no evil come near them. Protect them from the evils of this world.

I come against the spirit of comparison, not being good enough. The spirit of bullying, protect those who can’t protect themselves. I come against any spirit of addiction. I come against any and all attacks of the enemy and say you CANNOT have our children and bind the plans of the enemy and send them back to the fiery pits of hell where they came from.

Lord, Your promises are YES AND AMEN for our families so bless each and every family. Help them to grow closer to You and each other. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen!

Hope you and your family have an amazing school year! May God bless you abundantly, provide for you in ways you can’t imagine, and bless and protect you sweet friends!

Big hugs,

Nicole💗

Have Faith In God

Have faith in God!! Whosoever says to the mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the sea!! And does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, you will get it.”

But you cant stop there though you have to go onto the next verse because I think we sometimes wonder why our prayers are not answered. Verse 25 says “and whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, FORGIVE THEM AND LET IT DROP, leave it, let it go, in order that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your own failings and shortcomings and let them drop💗

Love y’all and have a blessed and wonderful day!

Big hugs,

Nicole💗
