If God Said It...

Be Empowered by Dr. B's Daily Nugget...Numbers 23:19 declares, "God is not a man that He should lie, ...that which He SAID,  He WILL DO." Unlike "man", God can be trusted to keep His Word! "Man" will make promises but many times, fail to come through ...but NOT GOD! His  promises are "YES" and "AMEN!" His promises can be taken to the bank of Heaven and cashed like a check! His promises will give you peaceful sleep, knowing that "IT'S ALREADY DONE!" So, whatever you stand in need of today, "hold fast to your faith without wavering because He who PROMISED is FAITHFUL!" #ifGodsaiditHewilldoit, #drb'sdailynugget

The Buoyant Spirit

Be Empowered by Dr. B's Daily Nugget... Do you know someone who has a buoyancy spirit? Buoyancy is a powerful word that means two things...the ability to float on water instead of sinking and the ability to have a cheerfulness through all of life's circumstances. Having a buoyancy spirit means "staying afloat and letting NOTHING pull you down!" Life happens to EVERYONE! Setbacks, heartaches, disappointments will "Google" all of our addresses and just show up at some point...uninvited! So, when "life" shows up at your doorstep, you can choose to greet it with BITTERNESS and sink or BUOYANCY and stay afloat! #stayupnomatterwhat, #drb'sdailynugget 

The Weapon of God's Word

Be Empowered by Dr. B's Daily Nugget...Are you facing a situation today where all you have to stand on is God's WORD? Well, here's the GOOD NEWS...that's all you need to stand on! The bible is not the world's all time best seller for nothing! It's because there is no other book that can destroy yokes, lift burdens, bring healing, offer deliverance, give financial assistance, restore lives, forgive sins, repair broken hearts, inspire dreams and allow you to have a personal relationship with the Creator of the universe! For every issue on earth, the bible has an answer! So, if you're dealing with something that is robbing you of your peace, pull out the "weapon" of God's Word and release the "bullets" of His Truth out of your mouth! This is how you STAND and FIGHT BACK! #standontheword, #drb'sdailynugget

A Good Name

Be Empowered by Dr. B's Daily Nugget...According to Proverbs 22:1, "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches and loving favor is better than money." First of all, a good name is more valuable than money because it will many times, open doors your check book can't. Have you ever been able to tell someone who was looking for a job to give YOUR name as a reference? While you couldn't afford to hire them yourself, your "good" name helped them get hired! A good name comes from things like keeping your WORD at all cost, being consistent, treating people well, thoughtfulness, integrity, and respect for self and others. It also opens the door to receiving God's favor which again, allows you to leave your check book at home. Favor can cause someone to buy you a car with CASH, rather than you having to get a car note! So, remember, when you don't have enough MONEY to get what you want, try using YOUR good NAME and GOD'S loving FAVOR! #agoodname, #drb'sdailynugget

The Principle of Giving and Receiving

Be Empowered by Dr. B's Daily Nugget...Have you ever offered someone gas money, only to hear the words, "Oh no, that's ok?" Have you ever offered to pay for someone's meal, only to hear the same thing? It seems that many people who are "givers," struggle with being "receivers." But, Luke 6:38 reminds us to "Give and IT shall be given unto you, with good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, shall men give unto your bosom." GIVING is a biblical principle that works ONLY if the giver participates, by being willing to receive the harvest, HOWEVER and WHENEVER God decides to send a return. So, if you're a giver who has struggled with receiving, stop blocking your blessings and start letting Luke 6:38 work in your life! #it'stimetoreceive, #drb'sdailynugget 

GPS...God Planned System

Be Empowered by Dr. B"s Daily Nugget...For me, one of the best inventions of today is the GPS navigation system. Whenever I use it to get somewhere I've never been, it gives me great confidence that I will get there with no problems. But, I discovered that sometimes you can still have issues or get delayed  because it chooses to "take you the long route." But once you reach your destination, the voice inside the GPS is programmed to say three soothing words..."YOU HAVE ARRIVED!" So it is with a spiritual GPS...God Planned System. Jer. 29:11 says, "For I know the PLANS I have for you, declares the Lord,  I have PLANS to prosper you, not to harm you and PLANS to give you hope and a future." So...if you turn on your "spiritual GPS" by choosing to TRUST the PLAN that God has for your life, you may have some life issues or "delays" but when you reach your "divine destination," you will also hear a voice say, "YOU HAVE ARRIVED!" #God'splanforme, #drb'sdailynugget 

Satan is a Crack Addict

Be Empowered by Dr. B's Daily Nugget...Satan is the world's biggest "crack addict" because he is addicted to constantly finding "cracks" in our soul to keep us distressed, distracted and discouraged about SOMETHING. But according to Luke 10:19, we've been given "power over all the power of the enemy and NOTHING shall by any means harm us." As the "father of lies," that's exactly what Satan does EVERYDAY...sends LIES to torment us with worry, fear, doubt and anxiety! BUT, as a child of God, remember that you have the POWER to quench these lies before they take root! There are three weapons that will stop Satan in his tracks!...the Blood of Jesus, the name Jesus and the Word of God! So whenever  Satan tries to wear you down with tormenting lies,  fight back with your spiritual weapons, including God's Word which is TRUTH! #satanisdefeated, #drb'sdailynugget 

Rooted and Grounded in God's Love

Be Empowered by Dr. B's Daily Nugget...In my counseling practice I have encountered many people who struggle with believing that God  loves them. Reasons such as having been abused or mistreated by parents or others and shame or guilt from past sins can cause an inability to "believe and receive" God's love. But, Romans 8:39 declares, "NOTHING will ever separate you from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus...not your past, present or future!" NOBODY, not even YOU, can change God's opinion of you! He says in Jer. 31:3. "I have loved you with an everlasting love." The key to being WHOLE is believing this next statement: "My IDENTITY and my SECURITY is deeply ROOTED and GROUNDED in GOD'S LOVE for ME!"   Only God's love has the power to give you true ACCEPTANCE and WORTH, no matter what has happened in your life.  So, in the words of Telly Savalas, from the TV show Kojack..."Who loves you baby?" #wholovesyoubaby, #drb'sdailynugget 

The Heart of the Matter

Be Empowered by Dr. B's Daily Nugget.,.Eight months and 27 days! That's how long I went without a vehicle because of an incompetent, deceptive and heartless mechanic who destroyed my car. I was angry and hurt that he had no remorse for causing irreparable damage. During this ordeal I started declaring daily, "I am receiving my supernaturally debt-free new vehicle in JESUS name!" Meanwhile, my heart was convicted to let go of the anger and resentment I had toward this mechanic. I finally obeyed and God truly cleansed my heart. Recently, after nearly nine months, DELIVERANCE came, just like the birth of a baby! I was blessed with what I confessed...a supernaturally debt-free "new" car! It's new because it has a "new" engine which is the "heart" of every car! You see, before God gave me a "new" CAR,  He wanted  me to receive a "new" HEART, so I could appreciate it! So, before you can receive the "desire of your heart," remember to let God examine it first! #createinmeacleanheart, #drbnugget

I Am Who I AM Says I Am

Be Empowered by Dr. B's Daily Nugget...Your "I AM" declaration is a spiritual force that can cause Heaven to move on your behalf! In Exodus 3:14, God told Moses, I AM WHO I AM! As a child of God, when you boldly declare  "I AM..." three things happen! Your "I AM" will FOLLOW you, CHASE you down and OVERTAKE you! Start declaring  "I AM prosperous! I AM debt free! I AM favored! I AM healthy! I AM more than a conqueror! I AM living a supernaturally blessed life! Most of all, I AM WHO "I AM" Says I AM!" So, if you want to be followed, chased down and overtaken by a move of Heaven, OPEN YOUR MOUTH and get in agreement with your "I AM!" #iamwhoiamsaysiam, #drbnugget

A Rich Life

Be Empowered by Today's Nugget...The word RICH (plentiful, bountiful, abundant) is most often associated with material wealth...something that most of us will never experience. However, taking a closer look at this word reveals a gift that money can't buy. What is this gift? LIVING EVERYDAY LIKES IT'S YOUR LAST DAY! Imagine  living your life to the fullest everyday by spending quality time with God, helping others, forgiving quickly, loving on your family, making quality time for friends, having fun, being kind to others, choosing not to worry, being merciful instead  of judgmental and doing something that brings you joy! It requires an intentional focus to live this way EVERYDAY, but it is definitely the truest experience of a "rich" life! #realriches, #drbnugget

It Ain't What It Looks Like

Be Empowered by Dr. B's Daily Nugget...So many times, we judge things by their outer appearance because it's so easy to get caught up in how something looks...a car, a house, furniture, etc. If you're not secure within yourself, you'll compare your life to someone else and become unhappy. But what you don't know is that sometimes the person you're comparing your life to is STRUGGLING to keep those things. Remember, "IT AINT ALWAYS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!" I once heard someone say, "I would rather "limp" to the bank than "run" to the soup line." Me too!  How about you? #besecure, #don'compare, #drbnugget

What to do With Your Mountains

Be Empowered by Dr. B's Daily Nugget...Jesus said in Mark 11:23, "whoever says to this mountain, "Be taken up and cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes what he says will happen, it will be granted him." Whatever mountains that  are "mounting" in your life, remember the power that's been put in your mouth to cause every mountain in your life to crumble! So, instead of using your mouth to speak to God about your mountains, speak to your "mountains" about your God...and watch what happens! #useyourmouth, #drbnugget

Danger of Anger

Be Empowered by Dr. B's Daily Nugget...ANGER is just one letter short of DANGER. It means having strong feelings of hostility due to unresolved conflict in the soul. Anger is dangerous because if not dealt with, can lead to an "explosion" of rage, resentment an unrighteousness behavior! Anger is also a "cancer"  that destroys your peace, joy, health, relationships and witness as a Christian. Ephesians 4:31-32 commands us to "let go of all bitterness, rage, brawling and anger...and instead, be kind, tender hearted and forgiving as God has forgiven us." So, If you need to heal from any unresolved anger in your soul today, there's one powerful pill that works and has no negative side affects...FORGIVENESS! #letangergo, #forgiveandbefree, #drbnugget 

From Nothing to Something Special

Be Empowered by Dr. B's Daily Nugget...Only God can take NOTHING and turn it into SOMETHING! That's what He did in Gen. 1:1 when He spoke into deep "nothingness" and turned it into the universe! And this SAME God can do the SAME thing TODAY! He can take the "nothingness" in your bank account and cause miraculous funds to appear! He can take the "nothingness" in your refrigerator and cause it to overflow like you won the "EBT Lottery!" He can take the "nothingness" in your LIFE and cause you to experience overwhelming, abiding JOY unlike anything you've ever felt in your life!  God specializes in not only turning NOTHING into SOMETHING, but into something SPECIAL! #somethingfromnothing, #drbnugget

Fraternal Twins...Grace and Mercy

Be Empowered by Today's Nugget...Grace and Mercy are like fraternal twins who came out of the same wound, but unlike identical twins, do not look alike or even sound alike. When your rent is due TODAY by 5pm and you're short $200, GRACE has a way of showing up at about 4pm to say "God just put it on my heart to drop off $200 to you." When you get pulled over because you were driving 65mph in a 45mph zone, MERCY has a way of suddenly showing up to say, "Even though you deserve a ticket, I'll just give you a warning this time."  Therefore, never take your relationship with Grace and Mercy for granted...like close friends, they show up when needed the most! #graceandmercy, #drbnugget

The Cure for Pride & Self-Pity

Be Empowered by Today's Nugget...PRIDE and SELF-PITY are two ungodly spirits that oppose each other. Pride compares itself to those who have LESS by saying things like, "That guy should just go get a job instead of begging on the corner!" Self-Pity compares itself to those who have MORE by saying something like, "I wish I could live in a big house like so and so." Pride EXALTS itself while Self-Pity DEMEANS itself. Both are displeasing to God. The only cure is HUMILITY which BLESSES those who have less and REJOICES with those who have more. #nomorenoless, #drbnugget

Success vs. Greatness

Be Empowered by Today's Nugget...Achieving "success" means accomplishing goals in order to make YOUR life better. While being successful is a good thing, the focus is "all about you." But achieving "greatness" is way more important because it means living your life in order to make SOMEONE ELSE'S life better. For example, by worldly standards, having a Mercedes to drive is SUCCESS. But, by Godly standards, having the mercy and love to drive senior citizens around to take care of their business is GREATNESS. Maybe our real goal should be to become successful at achieving greatness! #greatness, #realsuccess  #drbnugget
