Rise up


Rise up 
Luke 1:45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
Luke 1
 talks about Mary, an ordinary teen. Not wealthy or famous.
One day an angel appeared and called her highly favored.
It’s easy to talk yourself out of what God says about you.
An angel would tell you the same thing – you are highly favored.
Sometimes God will put things in your heart that seem very unlikely.
That’s why the angel reminded her she was heavy with favor.
Vs. 42-43 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Luke 1:45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”

Today, God wants to exceed your expectations! He has amazing things stored up for you. He wants to take you places that you've never dreamed and do things in your life that you've never imagined. His glory is rising upon His people. Things are going to fall into place so that you can accomplish what God has placed in your heart. Even the hidden dreams that you've given up on, God has not given up on. He is going to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond all you could ask, think or imagine! Now is the time to arise and shine in Him!

Your mind may try to talk otherwise Don’t let discouragement hold you back. Rise up every morning and declare, "Today is the day that the Lord has made." Choose to rejoice in Him. Choose to expect His goodness. Choose to arise and shine and receive every spiritual blessing He has in store for you! Something that will make you stand out in the crowd.
Psalmist said favor surrounds like a shield. [
Psalm 5:12]
God is causing things to fall into place.
Isaiah said rise and shine for the glory of the Lord is upon you. [
Isaiah 60:1]

Glory implies God’s favor is heavy upon you. You didn’t get just a little favor. you’re heavy with favor. When you realize this You’ll hold your head up high. And pray bold prayers. Expect doors to open for you that may not open for others. You’ll arise, And God will cause you to shine. Maybe you’re heavy with worry or discouragement—

You need to get ready. This is your due season.
Instead of being heavy with burdens you’ll be heavy with divine breaks.
Explosive blessings in your finances. Shake off the discouragement.
You didn’t get average favor. You’re heavy with favor. Expect God’s goodness in new ways.When you’re bold enough to believe you’ll see God show out. Get rid of the defeated mentality. This is your year to rise higher. Accomplish your dreams. Dare to take some steps of faith.
Thoughts will try to talk you out of it. Talk to yourself the right way.
God is shining down on me. I’m heavy with God’s favor.


Believing is the key. Mary ,If Is she had not believed, she would not have seen.
You’re about to rise to a new level. You can let circumstances talk you out of it or you can do like Mary. Dare to believe. Pray bold prayers.
Expect God to do the extraordinary.

A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, I come to You today with an open and humble heart. Thank You for choosing me and for preparing a bright future for me. I will arise and shine. Let everything I do bring honor to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
