Today’s Heavenly Message Of The Day is brought to you by Joel & Victoria Osteen. Check it out below:

The Good Land
Today’s Scripture:

For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land–a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills
Deuteronomy 8:7, NIV.

Today’s Word:

Are you facing an area of lack in your life? Lack in your finances, lack in your relationships, lack in your physical health? The good news is that’s not the place God wants you to stay. He wants to bring you into a new land with no lack, no shortage, no defeat and no mediocrity. He wants you to live in a place where you will have more than enough so you can be a blessing to others. He wants to lift you up and keep you up. He wants you to remain stable and strong in Him.
The key is that in order to get God’s results, we have to do things God’s way. His love is unconditional, His access is unlimited, but our obedience is what opens the door to His blessings. We have to do our part and humble ourselves before Him and keep pressing forward with an attitude of faith and expectancy.
Remember, promotion doesn’t come from people, it comes from the Lord. When we follow Him, He leads us into the land of blessing, the land of more than enough, the land of opportunity. Today, put Him first, follow His commands and let Him lead you into the good land!

Prayer for Today:
Father God, thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness in my life. Thank You for restoring my soul and leading me beside still waters. Today, I recommit my life afresh and anew. Help me follow Your commands and leading in every area of my life in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Earnest Pugh has released a music LP just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. He talks about the project titled “A Thankful Reflection” over at Gospel City. Check it out below:

“A Thankful Reflection” is Pugh’s way of recalling past victories and acknowledging God as his vindicator.  Earnest says, “God has been so good to me, and even when I am at my lowest moments, reflecting on God’s goodness and faithfulness brings forth a peace that surpasses all understanding.  So during this Thanksgiving Season, I want my fans and supporters to meditate on these songs”.

The new release contains dynamic renditions of songs like the ground-shaking power ballad “Thank You” (with a reprise and an instrumental version) and a moving acapella bonus track of “Great Is Thy Faithfulness”.  Although the songs are taken from Pugh’s Billboard and iTunes chart-topping release, Earnestly Yours, the artist wanted to focus on songs of gratitude for the upcoming holiday season.  In addition to being favorites of the psalmist, the songs give ministers of music powerful tunes to sing during the Thanksgiving Season.  For more information about Earnest Pugh, check out his website“

This is the Will of God

Today’s Scripture:

“Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus”
(1 Thessalonians 5:18, NIV)

Today’s Word:

So many people today wonder what God’s will is for their lives. Oftentimes, they look for big things like signs and supernatural events. But really, God’s will for us unfolds each and every day as we obey Him and serve Him with a thankful heart. When you wake up every morning with an attitude of praise and thanksgiving, you just took a step toward your destiny—you are walking in the will of God. When you go throughout your day thanking God that His hand of blessing is upon you, thanking Him for ordering your steps, thanking Him for a new day, you are taking another step in His will.

Today, remember to keep the right perspective. We should have goals and dreams and look forward to a bright future, but the way you live your life today is what’s going to get you to where you need to be tomorrow. Keep praising, keep believing and keep thanking Him because that’s what will keep you moving forward. Submit every area of your heart to Him and walk forward in His will for your life!

Prayer for Today:

Father, I come to You today with thanksgiving in my heart and a mouth full of praise! I bless You because You are worthy! Thank You for redeeming my life from the pit. Thank You for leading me in the way everlasting as I keep my heart and mind on You today in Jesus’ name. Amen.

You Were Planned

Today’s Scripture:

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…”
(Jeremiah 1:5, NIV)

Today’s Word:

What an amazing thought: God knew you before you were even born! He saw your unformed substance and said, “I have a purpose for this life. I have good plans for them!” Then He breathed His life into you and sent you through your mother and father. They may have had issues, but that doesn’t have to stop you from becoming all that God intended you to be. You have been handpicked by Almighty God to be here at this time in history!

Sometimes we hear parents say, “We weren’t expecting this child. They were a surprise. They were an accident.” No, that child may have been a surprise to you, but they weren’t a surprise to Almighty God. No child can be born without God breathing His life into them. You may think, “Well, Joel, I was unwanted. I was an unplanned pregnancy.” No, you wouldn’t be here if God didn’t give life to your seed.

In God’s eyes, there is no such thing as being illegitimate. Remember, He knew you before you were ever born! Find confidence in His love knowing that you are a person of destiny, and you are part of His mighty plan!

Prayer for Today:

Father, thank You for choosing me before I was ever born. Thank You for knowing me and revealing Yourself to me. I trust that You are working in my life today, even when I can’t see it. I stand in faith knowing that You have a mighty plan for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Pros & Cons Of Drinking Coffee

There are number of factors that influence the brain cancer survival rate. These include the size of the tumor, the intensity of the cancer, its location within the brain, the overall health of the patient and the stage of the cancer. Brain tumor can often be removed through a completely surgery if it is benign and non cancerous and therefore increasing the brain cancer survival rate of the patient.

How To Balance Health & Happiness

The calculation of brain cancer survival rate is specific. Normally, the brain cancer survival rate is calculated on a 5 year period. This means that the brain cancer survival rate will show the percentage of patients who are still alive after passage of 5 years to the date when they were first diagnosed. Brain cancer survival rate are based on a huge number of people and therefore, it is very important that you do not use brain cancer survival rate for predicting the survival of an individual patient.

Heart attack and stroke are life-and-death emergencies — every second counts. If you see or have any of the listed symptoms, immediately call 9-1-1 or your emergency response number. Not all these signs occur in every heart attack or stroke. Sometimes they go away and return. If some occur, get help fast! Today heart attack and stroke victims can benefit from new medications and treatments unavailable to patients in years past.

The Pros & Cons Of Drinking Coffee

Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.

Some heart attacks are sudden and intense — the “movie heart attack,” where no one doubts what’s happening. But most heart attacks start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Often people affected aren’t sure what’s wrong and wait too long before getting help.

Here are signs that can mean a heart attack is happening:

• Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.
• Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
• Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
• Other signs may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.

As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain.

Learn the signs, but remember this: Even if you’re not sure it’s a heart attack, have it checked out (tell a doctor about your symptoms). Minutes matter! Fast action can save lives — maybe your own. Don’t wait more than five minutes to call 9-1-1 or your emergency response number.

Calling 9-1-1 is almost always the fastest way to get lifesaving treatment. Emergency medical services (EMS) staff can begin treatment when they arrive — up to an hour sooner than if someone gets to the hospital by car. EMS staff are also trained to revive someone whose heart has stopped. Patients with chest pain who arrive by ambulance usually receive faster treatment at the hospital, too. It is best to call EMS for rapid transport to the emergency room.

Call upon God to calm my fears and to remove anything that may interfere with this healing. I ask my higher self to close my aura and make it so only energies from God may flow to me. No other use may be made of this channel except for the energies of God. I will follow you Lord and lay down those thoughts that are not of you and what you will for my life. Only good I will embrace. Amen.

We are made for joy and happiness. We are mot made to be burdened down with misery. Today, lets take all those things that break, and crack our heart away and go forward.

Just like anything else in life there are pros and cons.

Here are the pros of drinking coffee:

• 1. Antioxidants. Coffee is rich in antioxidants like chlorogenic acid and melanoidins. Antioxidants help prevent oxidation, a process that causes damage to cells and contributes to aging.
• 2. Parkinson’s disease. Regular coffee drinking reduces the risk of Parkinson’s disease. A number of studies  have demonstrated that people who drink coffee on a regular basis are significantly less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease.
• 3. Diabetes. Coffee drinking has the potential to protect against the development of type 2 diabetes. A prospective study[3] as part of the US Nurses Health Study found that moderate consumption of both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes in younger and middle aged women.
• 4. Liver cirrhosis. Coffee drinking may protect against liver cirrhosis, especially alcoholic cirrhosis.
• 5. Gallstones. There is some evidence  that coffee drinking may be protective against gallstone formation in both men and women

Here are the cons of drinking coffee :

• 1. Heart disease. This is somewhat controversial. Most prospective cohort studies haven’t found that coffee consumption is associated with significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease. On one hand, diterpenes cafestol and kahweol present in unfiltered coffee and caffeine each appear to increase risk of coronary heart disease. High quality studies have confirmed the cholesterol-raising effect of diterpenes. Also, coffee consumption is associated with an increase of plasma homocysteine, a risk factor for coronary heart disease. On the other hand, a lower risk of heart disease among moderate coffee drinkers might be due to antioxidants found in coffee.
• 2. Cholesterol. Heavy consumption of boiled coffee elevates blood total and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels. Unfiltered coffee contains two cholesterol-raising compounds cafestol and kahweol.
• 3. Blood vessels. Coffee negatively affects the blood vessel tone and function.
• 4. Heart rhythm disturbances. Coffee can cause rapid or irregular heartbeats (cardiac arrhythmias).
• 5. Blood pressure. Although coffee drinking is not a significant risk factor for hypertension, it produces unfavorable effects on blood pressure and people prone to hypertension may be more susceptible. Recent Italian study found that coffee drinking can slightly increase the risk for development of sustained hypertension in people with elevated blood pressure.

What do you think? What types of coffee do you drink? Are you  a fan of Keurig?  We want to hear from you.

1. LIVE IN A STATE OF APPRECIATION - Make a commitment to sincerely appreciate yourself and your loved ones at least several times daily. Focusing on the positive and sincerely noticing things you appreciate in yourself and others brings a feeling of peacefulness and flow that you can feel in your whole body.

2. CHOOSE INTEGRITY IN YOUR AGREEMENTS - Only make agreements you REALLY WANT to make. Give up the “shoulds” and “need to’s”.You gain Peace of Mind by being true to yourself and honest with others.

3. AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, CHOOSE TO DO WHAT IS BEST IN A SITUATION-  Think things through before you make that final choice. You may find out you have more options than possible

4. BREATHE - We often are continually reacting to ongoing stimuli and distractions. We unconsciously stop our breath when we experience feelings of anger, fear or sadness that accompany our busy lives. Shift from being reactive to making a cnscious choice in how you respond. My friends constantly remind me to breathe when I go into reactive mode.

5.  BE RADICAL AND SHIFT FROM “BLAMING” TO “CLAIMING - Make a commitment to eliminate blame and criticism in your life and you will experience more joy, peace and loving connections. When you notice yourself starting to blame, instead turn it around and KINDLY ask yourself “I wonder how I contributed to this situation?”

6. ADOPT THE MANTRA “IT’S PERFECT EXACTLY HOW IT IS” - Stress is often about always wishing “IT” (your body, your job, your relationship, your life, you fill in the blank) was different than “IT” is. Because you can’t change something if you don’t first acknowledge it exactly how it is and accept it as reality. There is something very comforting about being nonjudgmental in accepting reality.

7. AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, LIVE IN COMPLETION - When our minds are bogged down with mental or physical clutter. Taking steps towards completion can restore your sense of power over those things you can control and help clear out inner space.

8. TELL THE TRUTH – This is like a magic elixir! In your important relationships, whenever you hold back from sharing something important, keep significant secrets or for some reason choose not to face what you know to be true (don’t tell the truth to yourself), you create a feeling of stress or dis-ease within you.

9. ENHANCE YOUR EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE - Learning how to identify what you are feeling when you are feeling it and building your ability to honor and express your feelings appropriately will definitely take

10. MOVE YOUR BODY - Sometimes, when you mind is stuck in overwhelm, moving your body can help create. Get up from your desk and walk around. Take your keys and go for a walk. It’s amazing what happens when you get moving.
