Transforming Life with God’s Grace: Overcome Fear and Embrace Eternity – Bishop Bill Hamon
As human beings, we all experience different seasons in our lives – seasons of joy, seasons of sorrow, seasons of plenty, seasons of lack, seasons of hope, seasons of despair, and everything in between. No matter what season we find ourselves in, one thing remains constant, God’s unchanging and unfailing grace.
God’s grace is an all-encompassing and life-changing gift always available to us. Through His grace, we are forgiven, renewed, and empowered to face life’s challenges with courage and hope. In every season of life, we can find comfort and strength in knowing God’s grace is sufficient for us.
During times of joy and abundance, we can give thanks for God’s grace that has brought us to this place and has blessed us with so much. It is easy to feel grateful and close to God when everything is going well, but it is important to remember that His grace is not dependent on our circumstances. Even when we face trials and difficulties, God’s grace is still with us.
In seasons of sorrow and hardship, it can be challenging to see God’s grace at work. We may feel like we are alone and forgotten, but the truth is that God’s grace is present even in our pain. We are comforted, healed, and given the strength to endure through His grace. In these seasons, we can cling to the promise that God’s grace is sufficient for us and that He will never leave or forsake us.
God’s grace is not just a temporary fix for our problems – it is a lifelong gift that sustains us through every season and experience. Whether celebrating a victory or mourning a loss, we can always rely on God’s grace to see us through. Through His grace, we are made whole and complete and can fulfill His purpose for our lives.
In conclusion, God’s grace for every season is a truth that we can hold onto with confidence and hope. No matter what we face in life, we can rest assured that His grace is sufficient for us. As we embrace His grace, we are transformed and renewed, and we can live a life filled with purpose, joy, and peace. May we all learn to trust in God’s unchanging and unfailing grace and find comfort and hope in it through every season of our lives.

Overcome Resistance & Embrace Breakthrough: Apostle Jane Hamon’s Guide for Prophetic People
This is the season for great breakthroughs and advancements.
Let me ask you this: how many of you feel like you have been meeting some resistance? Well, let me tell you, it is good news that we’ve been encountering resistance, even if it feels overwhelming. The enemy always shows up in times of reformation, and it’s no different now. But in the midst of that, God is looking for tough, hardcore, focused, prophetic people who know what they’re going after and are willing to lay down their lives to see what God has promised come to pass.
Lately, we’ve been praying for this to be a tipping point moment where nations hang in the balance. The Lord spoke this to me several years ago, and as we prayed about it, we realized that we need to lift, shift, and push to see the breakthrough and advancement we’re looking for.
In prayer, we lift things up to God, make decrees, and prophesy in agreement with what God has said. Then, we push forward toward the promises He has given us. It’s not always easy, and we will face resistance, but we can take heart knowing that we are not alone, and God is with us.
Remember, resistance is a sign that we are on the right track, and we can press forward with confidence and courage, knowing that God is faithful to fulfill His promises. So, let’s be those tough, hardcore, focused prophetic people that God is looking for, and let’s see His kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
To learn more about positioning yourself for breakthrough, watch the video above from Apostle Jane Hamon, sharing a powerful message about resistance, reformation, and revival.
As we move through this year, it’s important to remember that our focus should always be on God and His promises. It’s easy to get caught up in life’s daily distractions and demands, but we must remain steadfast in our faith and keep our eyes fixed on Him.
Patricia King recently shared an inspiring message from the Lord that encourages us to decree the promises in Psalm 23 over our lives. This Psalm reminds us that despite life’s challenges, God is always with us, guiding and protecting us. By declaring these promises over our lives, we affirm our trust in God and His faithfulness.
The Holy Spirit has called us to be influencers in the seven mountains that shape culture and society. However, we must not lose sight of the Chief Mountain, represents worship, communion, and sacrifice to God. As we ascend to this mountain, let us keep Jesus Christ as our focus and avoid making the mission to have influence in the seven mountains become an idol.
Trusting in Jesus and looking to Him as the source of our miracles and healing is essential. We must keep our eyes fixed on the Chief Mountain, drawing strength from His presence as we navigate through life’s challenges. By focusing on God’s promises, seeking His presence, and decreeing those promises over our lives, we can experience miracles and healing like never before.
Remember, nearly everyone needs healing in some way, and by keeping our faith in Jesus and not letting distractions take away from the beauty of His presence, we can experience His love and grace. Let’s keep our focus on the Chief Mountain, ascending to God’s mountain and giving Him glory in all things.
Patricia’s message reminds us to stay positive, uplifted, and encouraged as we journey through this season. Click to watch the video above. Let’s be inspired by the message and continue to grow in our faith. Let’s trust in God’s promises, seek His presence, and always keep our eyes fixed on the Chief Mountain.
