The Believer

Mark 16:17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they[b] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

What an incredible description of what the Lord Jesus says we should look like. These are the signs that happen when He confirms the Word we speak. As a believer you need to have a message. We need to be ready to give an account of what Jesus is doing in our lives. It doesn't have to be a long message, just 3-5 minutes is all you might get from somebody. take the time to write down a word of encouragement for someone you might meet today. You never know when God is going to give you an opportunity to share.
God bless you.

Promises

Genesis 12:1-3 
12 Now the Lord had said to Abram:
“Get out of your country,
From your family
And from your father’s house,
To a land that I will show you.
2 I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

When God made this promise to Abraham, he was 75 years old. He didn't have the promised son till he was 100 years old. Sometime the promises of God don't come right away and the total fulfillment may take generations. The promise went from Abraham  to Isaac to Jacob...
What promises are you waiting on God for. Pray the way Elijah prayed when God told him it was going to rain. He had to pray seven times before he even saw a cloud form. Contend for God's promises and don't give up. God has a plan and purpose for your life and we need to see it come to fruition. 
God bless you!
