Who's battle is it anyway?  The Lords!

For many years I did not have the revelation of what the end of the verse in 1 Samual 17:47 say's,... the battle is the Lords, meant. I knew Jesus won the victory, so if He already won it why would it be His to win again? 

I asked God what the Bible meant by that? He led me to Zechariah 4:6... Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord of Hosts. 

To me, these two scriptures include faith, Hebrews 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith. Intimacy with God = Spending time with Him-meaning getting to know Him by spending time in His Word, prayer and communicating with Him in our daily routine. That all leads to faith in Him, because we are fellowshipping with Him. We are getting to know His Character.  

I went through a devastating situation a few years ago that put me on a path of, complete and total surrender to God, by prayer, fasting, and extreme obedience-meaning, I said yes to the Lord when I wanted to say, I'm done! In fact, I said, "God I don't want to do this anymore! But not my will, but Yours, what do you want me to do"? I did not want to be apart of the situation any longer, even though it was my choice to make, I knew from past experiences that I needed to choose wisely. And I knew dying to self even though everything in me was screaming the opposite, was the only choice for me to make. 

Dying to self and walking in surrender to God imparted His Super into my natural, oh, I did not mention in the paragraph above, I needed to trust Him completely! I said, "God I don't trust... His reply was instant, "then trust Me". I had to trust Him with every part of me, and trust Him that I would be ok! That my heart would be ok! I really did not want to type about my heart being ok, but really sensed I needed to. 

I am SO SO SO thankful I made the right choice! 

Surrender, obedience, faith, thankfulness, praise, forgiveness, fasting, prayer, God's Word, ALL = Triumphing in Christ! The closer we draw to Him, the more the desire for complete surrender is there! It's not a have to, it's a want to! 

Now thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph in Christ... 2 Corinthians 2:14

Faith is a force: As God took me on my journey He gave me a scripture, Jeremiah 18:6 O Israel, (Tammie) can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in mine. (emphasis added). The last part of that scripture (so are you in mine) jumped out at me and I knew God had my back, I felt safe, it gave me faith that no matter what, I would be all right! Faith is SO incredibly powerful! I was trusting God with my future, that to me, was unsure in so many ways. But He said I am in His hands, and that is the safest place I can be! It is in that place of rest-trust in Him that the SUPER NATURAL takes over- the Spirit realm, the Angelic Hosts fight for us through our decreeing His Word in faith.  

Hebrews 4:11 Let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest [of God, to know an experience it for ourselves], so that no one will fall by following the same example of disobedience [as those who died in the wilderness]. 

What this verse tells me is that the more I am in Gods Word, studying, speaking it out loud (laboring in His Word) my faith and trust in Him will increase, therefore, I will rest, in Him! In the truth that His Word WILL manifest in my life despite what everything around me may say. 

He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood. His name is called the Word of God. Revelations 3:13

2 Chronicles 20:12-24 tells the story of the power in obedience-by not fearing, fasting-helps hear God clearer, and praise.  It opens the door for God to be God by trusting in Him even in the midst of seemingly impossible situations. The battle was won through fasting, not fearing-trusting God, and praise.  They did their part and the Spirit realm, (Host of heaven, did theirs). That's what I get from these scriptures. 

The Lord sent bushes against, Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, who came against Judah; so they were defeated. 2 Chronicles 20:22 

In my last published blog on, 9-21-21, I talked about, in all things... 

On my journey this past few years God has shown me that in every situation I have faced one of the key components toward the victory Jesus paid the price for, is giving thanks. Not for the situation, but in the situation. It's Not God I thank you for this, but rather, God I thank you that in Jesus Christ I have victory over this situation! We stand at the place of victory, our faith in Him (Revelations 3:13) brings-draws victory to us. Greater is He-His Word, that is in us than he that is in the world.

The mind is a terrible thing to waist!

For as he thinks in his heart so is he. Proverbs 23:7. What we think on we became. (Fearful of the unknown, fearful of speaking the truth because of back lash (however, if you push a bully's back, they runs away wants they know you are not afraid of them). The Bible say's if God be for me, then who can be against me. Romans 8:31... NO weapon formed against you shall prosper!... Isaiah 54:17

Is your mind being held hostage by an unhealthy mindset?

As I begun this blog the first line I typed is the first thing that came to me, with that in mind I started pondering the statement I just typed. If our thought process about ourselves or our situation isn't healthy, we are waisting a lot of time and energy being less and living less than we were created to be and live. 

It has only been within the past few years that I have started to change the way I think about myself and my life. God has placed BIG dreams in my heart and He needs my image of myself to line up to those dreams to see them come to pass. 

Example: I am an author, I have written several books, I self-published one. As I watched other authors book sell, seemingly like hot cakes I wondered why my self published book hadn't? The Spirit pointed out to me it was because of the image I had of myself. As I pondered that statement I realized what Holy Spirit revealed to me was spot on! It was then that I was reminded, God placed the writing of my first book-- So Thankful, Life Behind the Posts-, on my heart. If He placed it there and confirmed it by a few people that I respect spiritually, then who am I to allow any thought but Deuteronomy 28:8...the Lord will command the Blessing on all you set your hand to do, and He will Bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. 

Therefore, it is my responsibility to line the image I have of myself up to the Word of God! How do I do that? By finding out what the Word of God says about me. By renewing my mind in the Word Of God. 

By thinking less of myself or allowing myself to go down to the level of what anyone's opinion of me may be, I am putting down the royalty I am in Christ Jesus, and belittling His creation. I am telling God that He didn't do a good enough job creating me. Meditating on anything less than being His masterpiece Ephesians 2:10 NLT, I am agreeing with the lies of the enemy. 

There are many that keep reminding people that their ancestors were in bondage, and holding them in the mindset of bondage themselves by how they treat them and what they say to them.  I heard a man of God say, "the past never sees the future". Also, Philippians 3:13-14 says 13... forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14. I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. I used to relive the past, and in the past I stayed, until my eyes were opened. I used to listen to ones that reminded me of the pain of my past, much like is happening in our society now, those trying to change what was to create a mindset of control and domination.  

Being in mental bondage will put you in physical bondage. Proverbs 23:7 As he thinks in his heart so is he. 

There are those, however who thrive on living in a slave mentality (and they don't even realize it), because it brings rewards. Those rewards could be the sympathy of others, popularity, the rewards of (payback) from society (you did this to me and mine, now I'm going to do it to you) ~ (media, politicians), (they want to keep people in bondage to keep themselves in power) meaning, twisting situations and using people to get what they want, (a divided, controlled nation). There are those that take the bate, instead of living free! 

However, many are waking up to the lies and deception, because what is being told simply makes no logical sense. Even though it may not look like it- those in positions of power, are loosing power!--Meaning, satan IS loosing power! Principalities work through personalities-- people. satan promises fortune, fame and power to those who are willing to do his bidding--stealing, killing and destroying others! It's a spirit of greed, and lust of money, power, control and fame. 

The spirit you give into (fear, lying, stealing, greed, lust of money, lust of power, etc) and allow to stay apart of you, will control you! It becomes a stronghold that can be hard to break free from for different reasons. Loss of popularity, security, money, fear of being rejected or not liked for doing what you know is the right thing to do--(I've done that). 

We have to KNOW, not simply know about the truth of Gods Word in order for His Word to set us free! How do we KNOW Him Word? By being in His Word, READING IT OUT LOUD, that get's it into the soil of our heart, the more we speak His Word out loud the more real it becomes, soon it will be more real than what we see, because we will have more faith in the Word of God than what we see. Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We have to receive His Word inside of us before we see the realization of it with our natural eyes. Luke 17:21 ...the kingdom of God is within you 

The enemy twists things to make it look one way, when in reality, it's another, he uses people to try to control and destroy people. 

John. 8:36  So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.

Living anything but free, is living in a slave mentality. 

John 8:31-32  Jesus said to the people who believe Him "You are truly My disciples if you remain faithful to My teachings. 32 And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. NLT

Romans 6:16   Don't you realize that you became slaves of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. 

The mind is a terrible thing to waste, allow the Truth of God's Word to set your mind free!

In all things....

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57

Now thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph in Christ and through us reveals the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14

As I was pondering these scriptures, what dropped into my heart -spirit, is, we give thanks (in) everything because of 1 Corinthians 15:57  and 2 Corinthians 2:14. We already have the victory through Jesus!

Some people may think first Thessalonians says that we are supposed to thank God we are going through things, not so! But (in) our situation we are to thanks God because He has already WON the Victory! It is up to us, those who are in Christ Jesus-those who have accepted Him as Savior and Lord to receive what He won for us, the Victory! 

I have learned that along with asking Jesus into my heart and forgive me of my sins, I need to live for Him. Meaning, the Bible is my constitution, I need to live by Jesus example to receive abundance of grace- benefits of the cross, Romans 5:17. Have faith in His name and the Power of His Word! 

Trust me, I know there are times thanking God when we are going through a really tough time seems crazy, like, really!? You want me to thank God with what I am going through!? The answer is, Yes! 

* Being thankful is a weapon against the enemy

* Being thankful brings God on the seen

* Being thankful gives us strength to get through the tough times

Imagine the devil saying, "wait a minute, I am trying to hurt them, causing them to bow in defeat and surrender, to me! All they are doing is thanking God even though I am throwing every diabolical thing I can think of at them? "I don't want them to thank Him! "I want them to crumble in defeat! "They are giving all their cares (worries, fears, temptations) to God! "And by submitting to God, and and quoting the Word of God (reminding me I'm defeated) to me in faith I have no choice but to leave them alone! I am only the prince of the power of the air, they are kings of the King! They have authority and power over me! they know I am defeated! Grrr!!! They know I am only (like) a roaring lion and can only devour them if they open the door to me through, un-forgiveness, hate, gossiping, strife, the negative words they speak, an unrepentant heart, giving in to my temptations, and so many other things. Grrr!!! They are getting wise to me! I have. no open doors into their lives. 😡 Grrr!!!

I can testify what I just said-wrote works! The enemy fights us in. our mind, that's were torment, confusion, fear, anxiety, etc. is! If he can get our words to line up with his negative report we have given him a license into our lives-an open door. 

It is so important to stay in an attitude of thankfulness. Years ago I was in a bad place in life, feeling sorry for myself and thinking I had n nothing to be thankful for. The Lord challenged me to post something I was thankful for every day on fb. What started out to be a month long journey turned in to a year long journey, becoming my first book-So Thankful, Life Behind the Posts! I self published it a few years ago. 

Know this,  that even though the enemy (because he works through people-principalities work through personalities), is trying to push his agenda on us. We have the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! 

Being a Christian does not mean I am a wimp, quite the contrary! The Bible, my constitution, let's me know that I can do all things through cChrist which strengthens me, that I AM more than a conqueror in Christ, Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world, that NO weapon formed against me shall prosper, It's not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lords, that the battle is not mine but Gods, if God is for me that who can be against me? That anything that comes against me is an uncircumcised philistine which mean I have a covenant with God and anything coming against me does not, therefore God Almighty has my back!!! Now tell me with all of that (Gods Word) and much more I did not list backing me up how would I ever be considered a wimp???   

Declare Gods Word, claim it for you're own, get it into your spirit-heart knowing that no weapon formed against your shall prosper! (a weapon is anything bad), but you need to decree His Word by faith! Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God! Once you trust God and his Word, satan might try to throw fiery darts (anything bad) at you but your shield of faith will protect you from his attack! 

Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you (me, my family, make it personal) shall prosper

Romans 8:31 If God is for us (me, my family) who can be against us.

Psalms 91- The whole chapter 

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ

Romans 8:37 More than a conqueror through Christ

1 John 4:4 Greater is He That is in me

Zechariah 4:6 Not by night nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord

1 Samual 17:47 The battle is the Lords

Psalms 23- The whole chapter... It begins, The Lord is my Shepard... I had a revelation on this first verse, in order for Jesus to be my Shepard, I need to allow Him to be my Lord as well! Jesus can't just be my Savior, He need to be my Lord too! 

Therefore, give thanks!!! 💜

In Consistency lies the Power!

The rudder of a ship

A few days ago as I was listening to Robin D Bullock use the analogy of the rudder of a ship, it reminded me of the consistency of our words. Holy Spirit showed me the power of consistency in prayer. There is no doubt in me that decreeing Gods word in faith works! 

Where some may fall short is in the consistency of their decrees. 

The Bible says in Hebrews 1:14 Therefore, angels are only servants-spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation. 

The Bible says in Psalm 103:20 Bless the Lord you His angels who are mighty (excel in strength) and obey the voice of His word.

Another translation reads, Praise the Lord, you angels, you mighty ones who carry out His plans, listening to each of His commands. 

In Job 22:28 it says, You will declare a matter, and it will be established unto you: and light will shine upon your ways.

The Job 22:28 AMPC translation reads, You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of Gods favor] shall shine upon your ways. 

The combination of these scriptures lets me know that when I have faith in the Word of God as my final authority and I am speaking- decreeing His Word in faith, that gives the angels their marching orders to bring Gods Word to pass. However, in consistency lies the power, which means, I need to keep decreeing His Word in faith -faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God-. The more I decree His Word the more faith in His word builds up in my spirit. Faith is a force which is power feeding His angels keeping them moving forward to fight and bring Gods Word to pass! 

In the consistency of the decree of Gods Word in faith lies the power! 

Many people, myself included, have been discouraged after we have said a prayer or two, not seeing the prayers answered. As I was reminded listening to Robin Bullock the other day, the rudder of a ship slowly turns the ship around. 

Our decree-tongue is that rudder, death and life are in the power of the tongue, Proverbs 18:21 

We need to decree Gods Word until the ship is turned around, or until the circumstance changes. 

Jesus already did the work, it's up to us to decree on earth (enforcing Gods Word) until we see the manifestation of His Word come to pass. 

I have done it and watched dead situations come back to life, I know Gods Word works!  It's not just what I have heard from others, it's what I have seen for myself. I live the proof of Gods Word on a daily basis, but it took consistency in faith in Gods Word I was decreeing to SEE His Word manifest in my life. 

In the consistency in our decree in faith in His Word Will bring His Word to pass! 

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.   John1:14
