Isaiah 41:10 ‘Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.’’

Gospel artist Blair Monique Walker was devastated when she was diagnosed with uterine cancer in October 2017. Doctors told her she would have to have a hysterectomy, which meant she could never have another child. Surgery was then scheduled for her.
It was a very difficult period for Monique as she battled with fear and anxiety over the diagnosis. But one day, she looked at herself in the mirror and realized she needed to keep her faith strong and not give up on the purpose and assignment of God she still needed to fulfill. She was also encouraged by her husband’s faith, who really believed that God would heal his wife. He had already experienced God’s healing power, when he had a hernia and was healed as he prayed and worshipped.
As Monique and her husband both believed God to do a miracle, many people also joined them in prayers.
Monique was scheduled for a final ultrasound so the size of her tumors would be measured to see if it could just be removed without doing a full hysterectomy.
When the day arrived for her to visit her surgeon for the pre-operative examination, on that day something amazing happened! As the surgeon looked at the ultrasound of Monique’s uterus to see the size of the cancerous growth, he was amazed to find that her tumors disappeared and a fetus had taken its place. Looking at her, he said, ‘It looks like your God removed all of your tumors and left you with a baby.”
Monique was amazed beyond words at how God miraculously turned around the situation. From fears about her tumor, she was totally healed and ended up giving birth to a bouncing baby boy!
Indeed we serve the God of miracles. There is no limit to what He can do.
When we hold on relentlessly to faith in God’s Word, we are on our way to seeing His signs and wonders.
Even when facing situations that seem impossible in the natural, when we dare to believe God, He can confound negative verdicts.
There can be times in life when obstacles may appear insurmountable. At such times it may be easy for fear and anxiety to grip the heart, even as the mind wanders in hopelessness. But if only we can look unto God and learn to hold our peace, God will show up for our deliverance.
When God said to the Israelites: “Stand still and you will see the deliverance of the Lord”, He was not only talking about their physical state, He was also talking about the state of their minds. It doesn’t matter what goes on around you, what matters most is what goes on inside you. It can be understandable to become fearful and anxious if confronted with problems and troubles.
But then never forget that God works behind the scenes. He knows how to suddenly turn things around for our good. God is able to overthrow the plans of the wicked and give us the victory.
This why we must learn to guard our hearts against fear.. When we are dominated by God’s Word, it will control our thoughts and actions, and the peace that passes all understanding will become our portion.
God has you in the palm of His hand and nothing you’re facing is a surprise to Him. This is why your heart should not be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Rather than worry let’s through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make our requests known unto God. And as we keep looking unto Jesus in faith, surely He will exceed all our expectations and give us a divine miraculous turnaround.
PRAYER; Lord I thank You for the faith to believe You for a divine turnaround in my life. Please grant me the grace to continually feed on Your Word so that faith can dominate my heart at all times in Jesus Name.

When God places His hand upon a man in life nothing can come against him, this is because the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. WORDBITE 222
