Today's Word with Joel & Victoria

Success starts with praising God in all things.  If as we are told here God can work through all circumstances, then that means for example that jail time can be turned into major success.  Thus, you have major reason to praise God even in the low times.

Being Strengthened In Adversity   Every adversity is an opportunity for God's Word to come alive in your life and see you through to victory.		No Matter What Today's Scripture "I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel" Philippians 1:12 (ESV). Today's Word from Joel and Victoria We all could learn quite a bit from the apostle Paul. He was deliriously happy and joyous because of what Christ had done in his life. Even when he was chained and shackled in a dark prison because of his faith, Paul praised God and was excited to deliver his message of the gospel. He says in Philippians 1 that he knew he was suffering for a purpose and that he rejoiced because of the advancement of God's message even when he couldn't be out preaching the gospel. My friend, you can't defeat a person who gives God praise no matter what! And the best part is that God can work in your life the same way He worked in Paul's. God can turn some of the worst possible situations into some of the most worthwhile experiences if you have the right attitude. Praise God today . . . no matter what! A Prayer for Today God, I realize that You can take even my bad days and accomplish something great for Your glory. Thank You for the way You display Your power and love in my life. In Jesus' Name. Amen. Read another Word with Joel & Victoria Choose a month to view an archived message: Select a month...
