AOL – Abundant Overflow Living by Alicia Briscoe

 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, Ephesians 3:20

Do you believe God wants us to live in abundance? Do you believe there is an overflow of abundance available to you? The answer is a resounding YES! According to 2 CORINTHIANS 1:20 “For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.”

All throughout scripture it talks about abundance and the overflow that is available to us. It doesn’t just limit abundance to our finances, but it overflows into all areas of our lives like Health (3 John 1:2), Peace (Matthew 6:33-34), and Growth (Psalm 115:14). We are often distracted by what we see which limits us to our own ability oppose to accessing the ability that is available to us in God. I believe we must be intentional about setting our minds to align with what God says. Ultimately having the mind of Christ with a more positive and optimistic perspective on things.

This scripture reminds me of the popular online service AOL. But I like to do a remix of the meaning of AOL which means America Online. I have given it another meaning, Abundant Overflow Living. The America Online is a service that gives you access to a pleather of information that you may ask or think. But there is another source that comes with a guarantee and can give you an abundance to where it overflows, and that source is God. You are wondering how one can activate this overflow of abundance.

Ephesians 3:20 describes God’s ability to supply all the power we need as unlimited. Also, it establishes that God is the source we need to access the abundant overflow life. If we look even closer at this scripture, we will see the partnership between God and us. We must embrace that we are partners with God by doing our part, exercising the power within us. God knows his capability, but we are the ones who are unsure of the capability given to us by God. We need to activate our faith as to see it big, dare to do, and walk valiantly for God.

I want to encourage you to access the Abundant Overflow Living by connecting to the source (God), opening your mouth to ask or your mind to think (Mind of Christ), and activate the power within you (Holy Spirit). I am a witness that Ephesians 3:20 is a go-to verse to get an abundance strength and an overflow of encouragement you need to live life.

God’s Greatest Gift by Alicia Briscoe

Image
  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16   What is the greatest gift you received from God? I’m sure you are like me; you can’t just name one because God gives the greatest gifts. From the beginning, God proved himself generous by creating us in His likeness and image along with a world of abundance. Although we may have a list of answers for this question, we all would say “The greatest gift God gave to us was Himself.” God’s example of generosity so selfless, an act in human history so important: Jesus’ died on the cross for us, what love. There is nothing in the world more important than the unity of people and God, bringing eternal abundant life and promising that we are never alone. Sometimes we do not honor God as we should, in his unbounded generosity, he gave his best and most valuable, the only thing he had only one of – his Son. Instead of abandoning us or retaliating aga

Attitude of Gratitude by Alicia Briscoe

  Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.                                 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Hello November or should I say Hello “Grateful” month! Have you notice how we get in the spirit of gratitude in November? It is amazing how we attribute an attitude of gratitude to November because of Thanksgiving. Gratitude is an expression of thankfulness and praise. The Bible teaches about the power of having a grateful heart. It tells us to be thankful in all circumstances good and not so good. Also, it is a positive emotion that involves being thankful and appreciative and is associated with several mental and physical health benefits. When you experience gratitude, you feel grateful for something or someone in your life and respond with feelings of kindness, warmth, and other forms of generosity. Gratitude honors God and it is His will for us. When we have a grateful heart, it develops our character positively. It produces kindness t

Don’t Quit, Reap Your Harvest! – by Alicia Briscoe

So, let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Galatians 6:9 The harvest has always been a beautiful and important part of life on earth, the time when the year’s work bears fruit, and the people are fed.   One of my favorite scriptures about harvest is Galatians 6:9. When I read this scripture, it gives me hope and encouragement to keep moving. Especially when you face challenging times and people. But when I meditate on this scripture, it reveals so much more. It is an opportunity to get in God’s presence to gain understanding during processing cycle.   It reveals in the practical sense that you are like a farmer that sow seeds and reaps a harvest. This concept leads to me asking questions like; “Am I sowing seeds?” “What kind of seed am I sowing?” “What kind of harvest am I expecting?”   These questions are valid because they will determine the cycle that takes place in reaping a harvest. We ca
