“God is Able.” Not sometimes. Not occasionally. ALWAYS. When your strength runs out, when doors close, when fear tries to speak louder than faith — God is still able. Able to restore.�Able to heal.�Able to provide.�Able to open doors no man can shut. Stop measuring God by your situation. Measure your situation by the power of God. “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think…” — Ephesians 3:20 #GodIsAble #Faith #Jesus #cbcpaterson #TrustGod

Stop believing the lies about who you are! 🔥 When we declare ‘God is able,’ it confronts every limiting belief, fear, and doubt we’ve accepted. Your circumstances don’t define you - God’s ability does! Are you ready to choose faith over what you see? #GodIsAble #FaithOverFear #BreakTheLies #ChurchLife #Faith TruthOverLies SpiritualGrowth ChristianMotivation

TODAY’S PROPHETIC DEVOTIONAL: “THE RELEASE OF ABUNDANCE” Good morning, Saints of God. During my regular 6:15 AM administrative prayer time, the Lord released the following and instructed me to immediately write everything He said and share it with you. God’s intention for your life is not survival; it is overflow. According to John 10:10, Jesus declared that you would have life and have it more abundantly. And 3 John 1:2 confirms it: that you would prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. This means: Lack is not your portion. Stagnation is not your story. Oppression is not your identity. Anything working against your peace, your progress, your health, or your purpose is unauthorized, and it must be confronted. PROPHETIC DECLARATION & COMMAND In the name of Jesus: I command every hindrance, every delay, and every unseen resistance working against your life to cease now. I rebuke cycles of lack, frustration, and limitation. I declare that favor is being released, doors are opening, and opportunities are locating you. You are stepping from strength to strength and from glory to glory. YOUR 21-DAY INSTRUCTION For the next 21 days, you must partner with Heaven intentionally: 1. SPEAK IT DAILY Every morning declare: “I walk in abundance, favor, and divine health today, in Jesus’ name.” (Life responds to your words—see Proverbs 18:21.) 2. REJECT CONTRADICTION IMMEDIATELY Any thought, feeling, or report that opposes God’s promise—you must shut it down immediately. Do not entertain what God has not ordained. 3. MOVE IN EXPECTATION Act like doors are already opening. Make decisions like favor is already on your life. 4. PROTECT YOUR ENVIRONMENT Limit negativity. Feed your spirit daily with the Word and worship. 5. WATCH FOR EVIDENCE Expect signs: open doors, unexpected help, and divine connections. Don’t dismiss small wins. FINAL CHARGE Do not treat these 21 days casually. This is not routine; this is a spiritual alignment window. If you stay consistent: You will see proof. You will experience acceleration. You will step into what God has already declared over your life. Now walk in it like it’s already done. Pastor R
