Welcome!   11-4-23

I was looking through my journal as I often do, I came across kind of a note to self from 5-28-21, a note on the top of my note read, blog >> with Romans 10:10... confession sin made unto --salvation--. And Proverbs 18:28  Death and life are in the power of the tongue. An arrow pointing to above the word salvation pointing to another note which read, setting everything right again.  Below all of that, yet more notes--Romans 10:10. With the heart one believes  unto righteousness --> putting in right standing with God.

Looking back at the history of my blogs, this one I did not write, however, I know exactly what I was going to write. 👇👀

Over the years I had done many fb lives on the subject of death and life are in the power the tongue, which is our confession. However, at the time I originally journaled the above 👆 the word salvation stuck out to me catching my attention. 

So what is salvation beside yeah, I'm going to heaven when I pass away? 

I have went to church most of may life and have not truly known the full meaning, I simply thought it meant I was saved, meaning had excepted Jesus as Lord of my life (Truthfully I did not understand what that meant until a handful of years ago). I simply thought it meant I loved God, I am going to heaven and I will do my best to live right. 

It wasn't until I watched a short video from Victoria Osteen who briefly, but simply, defined salvation in a way that my eyes were opened to the real meaning.

The full meaning is probably way more in depth than I will go into with this blog, but that's ok, I want to tie a few scriptures together as it dropped in my spirit.

Salvation is being delivered from harm, its redemption.  Its peace of mind instead of fear and torment, its joy instead of sadness and depression, health instead of sickness and disease, and wholeness in every area, the family and relationally. Salvation means I have the promise of my families salvation. It means when I have difficulty in any area be it financially or needing guidance in any area of life all I need to do is stand on His Word in faith believing My father in heaven through my covenant because of Jesus will have my back and come through for me, even if it looks like nothing is happening on my behalf, He is always working behind the scenes to bring my decree of faith to pass. 

Salvation also means that God is always there for us, even in darkest times, even when we mess up to the point we think we have gone too far. He never relaxes His hold on us! As the clay is in the potters hand, so am we in His hand! 

Confession is made unto salvation; it dropped into my spirit, since death and life are in the power of our tongue, when hard times-trouble-or the storms of life hit, whatever you choose to call it, we can call upon our salvation-our covenant rights. Instead of saying what we see happening in the natural, we call those things that be not as though they were, Romans 4:17. Gods Word is truth, its Holy Spirit inspired, God cannot lie, therefore, speaking Gods Word, our salvation, is speaking the truth! 

Example: You have a child that is away from Christ, instead of rehearsing the problem perhaps use this for an example, I don't care what it looks like Gods Word says, the seed of the righteous shall be delivered, my child ___ has come to his or her senses, according to Like 15:17, a strangers voice they will not follow John 10:5. Great is the peace of my children. 

When we confess life which is Gods Word, confession is made unto salvation! Our confession of Gods Word brings our salvation to pass! I hope you are getting this because it is really good stuff! 

If you are fearing something, confess, God has not given me the spirit of fear, He's given me the spirit of power, love and a sound mind, He restores my soul!  2 Timothy 1:7, Psalm 23:3. 

Faith comes by hearing and hearing  by the word of God, Romans 10:17. The more you confess Gods Word the more it gets imbedded in the soil of your heart and begins to grow becoming faith in the word you are confessing. Soon your faith in His Word is stronger than anything you see in the natural. But you have to keep confessing His Word to keep your faith  built up in it. faith is a spiritual muscle, you have to keep using it, keep feeding it with the weight and power and force of the Word of God! 

I am a witness! He is faithful! 

He is the ROCK of my salvation!  2 Samual 22:47. emphasis mine

Blessings!

The Power Given

Ephesians 6:10 Finally my brothers be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 

Ephesians 6:12  For we do not fight against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in the dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.  NLT  (talking about the second heaven, not the third heaven where Jesus and the Father are).

Luke 10:19. Behold I unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the Power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 

My husband and I put our fixer house on the market to be leased out. It is a beautifully remodeled home in a desirable neighborhood. After many showings, etc. We both knew something was wrong! I had a dream where I seen satanic resistance, I called my spiritual mom and told her about the dream, she told me I need to go pray and anoint the home dedicate it back to God. 

In my dream there were 2 beings floating around in the dark, they were faceless. I asked God what the names of these two satanic beings were, He told me. I arrived at the house, went into the house prayed in the spirit while anointed above every window and door frame opening each window calling the 2 spirits by name and evicting them from our house never to return. Went around the outside of the property pouring the oil all around the property (a blood line) and anointing each corner of the house and garage. 

The very next day we had vetted leasers who accepted the offer of the house, signing the lease papers the following day. 

This process has shown me something; Taking authority over satan and his imps isn't a hard thing to do! I listen to Gods instructions, I followed them, and got results. 

Blessings!

Letting go;

We all have an idea of the way we want things to go, but when they don't?  

Question; when those things aren't working the way we, in our mind, imagined, are we stopping and paying attention to the situation surrounding our situation? Are we saying, no, that's not the way-that's not how I imagined, x y and z, to go! I wanted a b and c! 

Truth be told, in my life, that is exactly the case. I know beyond a reasonable doubt that the open door my husband and I walked through was a God door. However, the timing of everything was not the timing I expected, or wanted. 

We are in the last stages of our last big project, we are closing walls and putting everything together, I am beyond grateful! I finally see light at the end of the tunnel. 

About the 3rd or 4th month into the project things, (timing wise) definitely wasn't going as I wanted or expected. Seemingly at almost every turn something was going wrong that neither my husband nor myself expected. Well, he may have, but not to the decree behind the walls exposed. I felt helpless knowing nothing about how to help, and my husband needed help that I could not give him. Several times I walked way from the situation, shed a few tears and called on Holy Spirit to bring the know how back to my husbands remembrance, Holy Spirit always came through. It was a stressful situation for him, and me my thought was, "my God, what did we get ourselves into?" 

There were many times I had to let go and realize, God knew what we would be facing with every situation.  He knows the timing of everything. I had to be content in knowing even though I wasn't in control, He is! Even though things are not being done in my timing, God knew the timing they would be done in. 

I had to let go!   It made every unpredictable, maddening situation easier, knowing  our situation didn't take God by surprise. 

Once again I have been reminded that even though we can't always count on people, we can ALWAYS count on God! 

Blessings!

What's on the other side?

I am sitting here spending time with the Lord, thinking about obedience, remembering what was on the other side of my obedience to God.

I have many testimonies to the faithfulness of God through my obedience to Him.

It has been on my heart, sort of a pulling to start going live again on fb. Although I am not hesitant, I don't want to do so without clear direction from God speaking to my spirit as to what He would have me say. I have asked a few things from Him as I do move forward with the assignment He has given me, I believe He will give me what I have asked. 

I'm also pondering the state of our nation, and my in part helping us move forward in a positive direction, yet acknowledging everything has changed and will not look as it once did. The enemy is being exposed, what has been taking place for decades is now coming to light. Ironically, he is so arrogant and full of pride he's showing his face as though he is winning. Truth be told, he IS a defeated foe, he can't win no matter how it looks!

We are a broken nation, at our own fault. We have excepted too many things not counting the cost, but the cost has been great! Our children. It's interesting, when all hope seem lost, BUT GOD! It's a matter of we the people, the remnant, standing our ground, and taking our place saying, "I don't think so devil, not on my watch!" If you are a child of God, you have been given authority! Ask God for boldness, get on your knees and pray, ask for forgiveness for being timid and allowing the lawlessness, I have. I repent for myself and our nation. 

2 Chronicles 7:14   If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. NKJV

About a week or so ago I was listening to a message by Jesse Duplantis I believe, it made a lot of sense and was an eye opener. I'm paraphrasing but you will get the just of it I believe. The enemy knows if he can soften things by changing the name or phrase of something, somehow it will be excepted. One example, Abortion, is now referred to as women's health-nothing has changed except the name, it has nothing to do with women's health. Or, calling the baby a fetus, that started years ago. Women are lied to, a lot of women have a difficult time forgiving themselves once the procedure has been done and they discover the truth. They need healing that only can be found through the cross of Jesus! 

Years ago there was a congressman trying to make pedophilia ok or normal in the class room, honestly, I thought, there was no way perversion such as that would ever happen, yet, here it is. God forgive us for sitting back as perversion has entered many of our schools in America. This one is really tough for me! 

I have taught Ephesians 6:12 many times on fb videos and blogs, but listening to a message this past Sunday by, Pastor Jamie Tuttle reminded me that it's not people I am fighting against, but principalities and powers-the spirits behind all the madness we see happening. As Jesse Duplantis says, principalities work through personalities.  

I will be perfectly honest, there are people I simply don't like in the least, to the point when they are on social media I won't listen to anything they have to say, I know they are lying. However, even though I do  not like them, I do pray for their soul, hell is a real place that was made for satan, not mankind. Unfortunately too many will not except Jesus into their lives and God has no choice but to say at the end of their time on earth, depart from me, I never knew you. Matthew 7:23, 25:31- 46. 

I believe my assignment once I am released to go live again will be different. I sense God is requiring more of me, it will be my responsibility to bring forth what He is giving me. Holy Spirit being my helper I will do it with revelation, anointing, boldness and fear of the Lord! Not man. 

What's on the other side? That's up to us. GOD IS FAITHFUL!

Blessings!

On August 6, 2022 I had a a dream, in that dream I was told (I perceive by Holy Spirit), "you need to rise above the storm". 

There is more to the dream,  but across a deep valley, or canyon I seen a dark cloud with a white cloud under it. I knew I needed the white cloud to rise above the storm cloud. 

If you have been reading my posts you are aware my husband and I are working on our last flipper house. We have probably flipped 20 or so houses over the past 25 years. Much has changed since we purchased our last stick build flipper house, the last 3 we have remodeled have been manufactured homes. We are older and our bodies are not used to the manual labor, although the neighbors are enjoying the transformation and hard work. 

Rising above the storm! Normally with a flip of this size, and all the repairs (and there have been huge repairs) my husband anticipated there would be, he has an eye for this type of work and can generally see the end from the beginning, would take tops 4 months with the help (paid help) we normally had. This time, the help we thought we had when we purchased the house, we didn't. We've had this flipper house for 8 months.

Therefore, the storm I am rising above are the thoughts of we're tired, sore, and ready to be done! Some of the storm is personal that I can only journal, knowing that none of what we are going through has taken God by surprise. He already knew the worries, concerns, tears, and heart ache that my husband and I would be facing. I believe that is one reason He told me through a dream that I need to rise above the storm! I need to trust Him knowing He has our backs even when we feel like our backs are against the wall, and trust me, we have definitely felt that way. 

Most of the work we are allowed to do, some we not only need permits for, but professionals in the field to do the work. Thankfully, we worked with an electrician years ago that is still in business, he gave us a reasonable bit even though their hourly rate doubled, it was reasonable and did a great job. Two more storms to rise above, but thankfully we have been able to close the walls, (sheet rock, because the electrical passed) which to us is a sign that we are in the home stretch. Praise God!!! 

During this flip Holy Spirit has been reminding me that God already knew what we would be facing, that none of it has taken Him by surprise! So even though things haven't went how I thought they should have, He reminded me that, God wasn't going to do things my way, but that I needed to trust Him knowing everything is going to be ok even though this flip is not like all the rest. Everything has changed!

Blessings!

For the past few days as my body has been fighting off a small cold, I started thinking about the benefits of taking communion.

In 2007 My world came crashing in on me. I was at my older sisters house, my body felt weird, as I went to stand up, I collapsed into two of my sisters arms.  My body and my mind said I have had enough!  Because of the collapse my sisters took me to the ER. The ER doctor prescribed counseling, I went once, it was a joke!  My home work from the counselor was to write down everything I was mad about. I knew that was not the answer, I felt the counselor would be of no help, I never went back. 

I had to really concentrate to do anything, eat, get dressed, even answer the phone. My body had to be retrained, so to speak. My husband would help me get undressed and dressed, when he was at work my little sister would come over to stay with me. 

I hated what had happened to me and was really mad at the enemy for the attack on my body. I asked God what to do? I sensed Him direct me to take communion daily, so I did. Within about two weeks I was totally healed and able to drive again. 

My husband and I are on the home stretch of finishing our last flipper house, therefore, feeling under the weather at all is not an option! As I was thinking of medicines I could take that would temporarily relieve the symptoms of the little cold trying to take hold of my body, I was reminded that communion symbolizes the truth that I am the healed! That neither sickness nor disease have the right to touch my body, I am Blood bought! I don't deny the symptom is there, I deny it's right to be there! That it's trespassing on Blood bought property! 

(This is my own thought for me personally) It is a slap in the face of Jesus for me to rely on medication for a cold. To me, I would be relying on a man made solution and not the healing power of communion. By Jesus stripes I am healed. 1 Peter 2:24.  One (communion) eradicates, the other bandages. 

I am not saying I have never, or will never take meds for certain things, I'm simply recognizing the power of communion. I witnessed it when my body would not function normally after the mental breakdown. Everyone should to do as they feel directed to do, working out their own salvation. For me, it was listening to and following Gods direction concerning communion. Even today, I am directed to take communion and decreeing Psalms 91 protection over me and my family, I do this almost daily. I do not know everything there is to know about communion,  but I have faith in it, knowing it works!

Blessings!

I may sound like a broken record, but to me, this is powerful!

I was reading Revelations 12:11 yesterday, They overcame him (satan, our enemy) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. As I have stated in previous blogs, the word 'word' in the Greek translation means 'matter'. Rick Renner teaches that our testimony is the Word of God. 

Our testimony-confession of Gods Word coming out of our mouth in faith overcomes satan! 

I googled the word overcome >>> verb, succeed in dealing with a (a problem or difficulty) 

* defeat (an opponent); prevail.

We overcome our enemy-satan, with Gods Word. The two-edged sword coming our of our mouth. We are decreeing the power of God that is alive and active, it's the creative force of our faith and the power of His Word working together on our behalf. It defeats the enemy to bring forth Gods Word, our salvation, our inheritance that Jesus paid the price for with His blood to give us. Amen! 

Blessings!

I know I have written about this in the past, but sense I am to write about it again.

There is Gods part, and our part! 

I am reminded of the image of Jesus holding a Big teddy bear behind His back, asking a little girl to give Him the small teddy bear she is holding (but God, I love it) before He gives her the big teddy bear He is holding. 

We, many times, can't see what God has in store for us. All we see is what we have that we like, what we are comfortable with, our security so to speak. We want to wait and make sure God does things how and when we think they should be done. Unfortunately, God doesn't work that way. He wants to know that we trust Him, knowing He has our very beast interest at heart. 

That has happened to me several times. Even though in each case I couldn't see my situation in the natural any different, I needed to take several steps of faith, one at a time, in each situation, trusting Him no matter what! Every time He had the teddy bear behind His back waiting for me to give Him what little security I had. I needed to surrender all. My security, and how I thought things should be done, and the timing I thought it should happen in. The kingdoms of my heart.

Throughout scripture God has given His Word of victory, there was His part-manifestation of promise, and   our part. Abraham and Sarah became strong in faith believing God to open her barren womb at the age of ninety, He was a hundred. Issac, was the result of their faith in Gods covenant to them. Genesis 15, 16, and 17,  Daniel, believing God to close the lions mouth because he honored God, despite all who were against him with an unjust law. Daniel 6. 

Joshua obeyed Gods instructions bringing the tightly secured Jericho down. Joshua 6. 

What wall of security do you have in your life that needs to come down in order for God to give you your promised land? I know I had a huge wall built, protecting myself from... 

Obedience is better than sacrifice! 1 Samuel 15:22

I learned that many years ago. Are you sacrificing for false security? I was. 

Blessings!

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for...  Hebrews 11:1

I was reading back through the February newsletter from Jesse Duplantis Ministries, and I had underlined several portions of the letter that intrigued me. One underlined portion in particular caught my eye; it defined faith in simple terms. >>> Sincere spiritual expectation is based on the divine substance God made called faith. 

The word "substance" got my attention because of a previous blog I wrote on the subject of the word "word," which means " matter" in the Greek translation. 

I googled "define substance." The definition is as follows: a particular kind of matter with uniform properties. 

Now Faith is the substance which is a form of matter, and matter creates!  Wow...! What a revelation! 

Every year that I am aware of, Jesse has prayed about a theme. His theme for this year is "if you keep the faith, everything is yours." 

If it's in God's Word, and we have faith, which is the substance, which is a particular form of matter, and matter creates what we are believing for, well, there it is! To me, it's mind-boggling! 

In the newsletter, Jesse also wrote concerning Hebrews 11:1, >>> It's not what you had faith for yesterday that matters today. Keeping the faith is about using your faith in the moment for whatever situation that comes up that needs it.   He goes on to say that it's about believing in God no matter what the circumstances say. It's about realizing that if God said it in His Word, then it is true and deserves the passion of your belief. Wow! That last sentence, to me, is a powerful statement. 

While meditating on the revelation from these last few blogs I have written, I was reminded of something I have been decreeing and having faith for that in the natural it's like "ya, right!" as in, No Way that is possible! but after digging deeper into God's Word and defining it in the original text, the "ya right!" turned into You better believe it, Tammie!  because, With God, all things are possible! HE WILL MAKE THE WAY MOVE ANY OBSTACLE OUT OF THE WAY OR CREATE A SITUATION  TO DO IT!!! God had a company move from one state to another to give Veronica Winston the job she believed Him for.  Faith in His Word will create what God has placed on my heart and on your heart to receive! 

To me, this is all so powerful! I hope you are grasping HOW BIG, HOW HUGE, this is! 

Several lines up, I wrote, "Now Faith is the substance. "I originally wrote, "Faith is "a" substance. The Holy Spirit corrected me. I sensed Him say, "It is "the" substance," as in, it is the main ingredient. Trusting God's Word is the main ingredient, the substance that is needed! 

Blessings!

The Word of God is matter! It creates! 

John 15:3 NIV You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. (emphasis mine)  The word, word, in this text, means matter.  Greek Dictionary 3364

John 17:17 ...Your Word is truth. Again, in the Greek dictionary, 3364, "word" means word, matter, thing, the Word. 

I am not into science. It's interesting to a degree, but in general, it's not my thing. However, I googled the meaning of matter. The definition is as follows: Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. 

Imagine, if you will, seeing your breath as you exhale into freezing temperatures; what comes out of your mouth takes up space in the atmosphere. Now, imagine your words being released into the atmosphere as you exhale. Our words are matter, a creative force in the atmosphere. God's Word is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword... Hebrews 4:12   We are made in His image, which means to me, as I speak God's Word in faith, my words are powerful too; they create! I create the world I live in with my words. 

Allow yourself to think outside of the box, take the limits off of possibilities of what God's Word spoken out of your mouth in faith in Him will do! With God, All things are possible! In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1.  All things were created through Him, and without Him, nothing was created that was created. John 1:2. In Him was life, and the life was the light of mankind. John 1:3. The light shines in darkness, but the darkness cannot overcome it. John 1:5. Wow! God is in every born-again believer. John 15:5  John 17:21,22.  2 Corinthians 6:18

John 1:3-5 And all things were created through Him, and without Him, nothing was created that was created. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of mankind. 5 The light shines in darkness,  but the darkness cannot overcome it. 

The force of God that is inside every believer overcomes the world--matter. 

Hebrews 11:3 reads, By faith we understand that the universe was formed at Gods command... The word, command in the Greek translation #4839 is as follows; word, saying, matter, thing. Again, we are made in His image. In Revelation 5:10 it says God has made us kings, small (k) He is the King, big (K) and priests unto our God. satan is only a prince of the power of the air. Ephesians 2:2. A prince takes orders from the king! Small (k) He has given us dominion over the works of His hands, and authority to use His name. John 14:13, Psalms 8:6. According to Ephesians 2:2 satan has power over the air, the atmosphere. 

In John 14:30  it reads, I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming, he has no hold on me. In the Greek translation #807, the word, prince, means ruler, leader. The word world #3180 means, earth, world system. 

Interesting point, the Greek translations of these two words means, satan runs the worlds system. So why does God get the blame for the bad things that happen? Because satan, the thief, has come to steal, kill, and destroy. Also, he is the father of lies! He whispers lies of deceit that if God is such a good God then why does He allow bad things to happen? When it is satan giving assignments of deceit. The good thing is people are waking up! The enemy Always over plays his hand, he is a defeated foe! No matter how hard he tries, he may win a few battles, but he will NEVER win the war!  Jesus already defeated him and won the Victory, Won the War!

Once we receive the revelation that our words are a creative force, who we are in Christ, and the authority we have in His name and the power of His blood, we will be an unstoppable force to the enemies camp! The gates of hell WILL NOT prevail against the church! Matthew 11:12,,, 16:18   

Blessings!

I am a visual learner. When I taught Freshman class at one of the local beauty schools years ago, I endeavored to teach knowing many people are visual learners.

Revelation, however, is spiritual learning. Some, but not all revelation I receive from Holy Spirit has taken a while, years in some cases to receive. It possibly depends, I believe, on how I am maturing in the things of God, or possibly on when I am being still before Him, seeking, and simply listening. 

Matthew 16:19 talks about binding and loosing. Years ago I heard a teaching on this verse. The pastor of the church I attended at the time tried to give a visual teaching. I seen the illustration, but didn't get it. Actually, at that point in time, I was on a journey that words fail me too describe, also, this post is not aimed towards that journey.

As I was reading some scripture, all these years later, I read Matthew 16:19, this time noticing a side note directing me to the amplified translation. I opened the Bible app on my phone, clicking onto the amplified version of Matthew 16:19.

I will give you the keys (authority) of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth will have been [already] been loosed in heaven.  Side note; this scripture is talking about the second heaven, not the 3rd heaven, which is where the throne of God is. I used to wonder why things would be bound in heaven where God is? That's part of the reason I didn't get binding and loosing, then I learned there are 3 heavens;  Daniel 10:12-14   2 Corinthians 13:2 

Jesus defeated the powers of darkness when he went to hell and kicked their butts. Colossians 1:13. Sickness, disease, poverty, etc. has no legal right in the life of a child of Gods! We have the legal right through the name and by the blood of Jesus to forbid-bind any unrighteous-evil spirit out of the situation and release-loose what Jesus paid the price to not only set us free from, but to give us! It was the great exchange, He took our sickness and disease and gives us health, He took our poverty, made us wholeness in every area of life. Romans 5:17 For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through the one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and at the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). AMPC 

I don't have huge library, however, the books I do have were purchased with purpose. They are on subjects I am hungry for and passionate about. They have teachings with scripture to back what is taught. Some of those books have talked about binding and loosing. It dropped in my spirit before sitting to type, adding to this blog, that it is our responsibility to take our place, put our foot down and stand our ground by binding (forbid, declare unlawful) and loosing (permit, declare to be lawful) somethings in our lives and the lives of our families, cities and states. Whatever is pressing on us that we need to address. However, they need not be empty words, the enemy knows if we know we believe and have faith in the authority and power we have in Christ. Acts 19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?' 

Example of decreeing binding and loosing; In the name of Jesus I bind the spirit of torment, and break every stronghold off of the mind of... and loose the spirit of peace! We are taking authority over torment, which is trespassing on blood bought property, and allowing-inviting God's peace which Jesus paid the price for ,to free us with His blood, to invade the situation.   

When we are freed from the previous state we were in, we need to invade our mindset with the Word of God so the enemy has no room to come back. Luke 11:24 Matthew 12:43-45 When an unclean spirit goes our of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first...

A while back I was watching a meeting Mario Murillo was holding. The banquet room (I'll call it) they were in was full. As I was watching him pray for people I seen Jesus standing behind him, His hand on Mario's back. The power-anointing went from Jesus, through Mario to the people he was praying for. Holy Spirit was opening my spiritual eyes, using my eyes, allowing me to see into the spirit realm. 2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, "Lord, I pray open his eyes that he may see...  Colossians 1:27 is Christ in you, the hope of glory. NKJV   Christ lives in you. This gives you the assurance of sharing His glory. NLT   '

Seeing that was refreshing, remember, I'm a visual learner. It gave me insight into the spirit realm. It helped me to realize, it's not me doing anything, I'm simply a submitted vessel God can use for His glory. When Holy Spirit directs me to pray for someone through contact, He has my back, (so to speak) His power flows through me to the person I am praying for. The same is true praying for someone who is not in the same room I'm in, or perhaps in another city, state, or country. Our words of Fatih are containers put in the atmosphere. Our faith filled words place angels on assignment in the spirit realm aimed towards what we are decreeing. The laws of faith and confession take over with legal power and authority to cancel or annihilate the assignment or works of the enemy. The Word of God is alive and powerful and has the power in itself to bring itself pass. Hebrews 4:12

God's already done His part, He's now waiting for us to do ours. Let's take our place! Christ in us the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27

His part, my part.

Gods part is always beyond what we can image. Ephesians 3:20

I have found that in order for the 'beyond' to become reality, I need to take the initial step of first things first.  A handful of years ago I sensed God telling me to get my house in order. What? What did that mean? Well, it meant more than I originally thought. It meant cleaning my physical house (my way of thinking and acting). I needed to change my mindset, my attitude. 

We are not to go by what we see, ie, I'll do this once I see that change. God doesn't work that way. If we want to see change, it starts with us. God will do His part, However, He wants to see our step of obedience in trusting Him. 

Romans 10:11 Scripture reassures us, "No one who trusts God like this--heart and soul--will ever regret it. The message translation.

Less than a handful of years ago I was in the same situation. I was desperate for change. Holy Spirit spoke to me giving me instructions. I knew I needed to follow them regardless of everything I seen screaming at me to do the opposite. I had to move forward trusting God, no matter what that meant! I moved forward in obedience to the instructions I was given. My actions along with my confession of Gods Word turned the rudder of the ship that was my life around.  But it had to start with me! God definitely gave me exceedingly abundantly beyond what I could imagine! My Ephesians 3:20!

The word ownership = my..., her..., his...

According to Merriam-Webster the word (my) refers to, belonging to.

I have referred to Proverbs 18:21 on many occasions in blogs and on fb lives, which says, death and life are in the power of the tongue.  

I, for one, have seen this scripture manifest many times in my life going both ways, it's not simply something written in a book. It's the way it is, truth! We can choose to not believe it, but that doesn't change the fact that it's Gods Word, the believers constitution ,which is truth, what we are to live our lives by. I am cautious about what I say with awareness that death or life  come out of my mouth. 

I can tell you with certainty there were situations in my life and the lives of my family that I have turned around for the good by speaking Gods Word over them. There are two situations that come to mind where I needed to repent for speaking death into.  Holy Spirit showed me what I was saying was creating the world I was living in, which was unpleasant to say the least. I, in-turn, started speaking life into those same situations. It took time, more in one than the other, but I was consistent with my confession. Just was a ships rudder turns the ship around, with consistency, those situations were turned around too.  

Jesse Duplantis has said on many occasions that he creates the world he lives in. Although I heard what he said, I didn't receive the revelation. I couldn't put two and two together, that is until recently after spending time with the Lord.  It's true, we really do create the world we live in. 

We take ownership or place ownership on others with our words. Jesus took ownership becoming a curse for us, so why would we want to claim something He already freed us from?

I truly believe no harm is meant, yet harm is dispersed with our words. Somethings are said out of anger, some out of hurt, and still others out of ignorance.  I believe it was yesterday on fb I listened to a woman minister on something, she has a degree and is very articulate. She, in my opinion, is a really good speaker. However, when she was talking about her daughter she mentioned the difficulties her daughter had. One of the things she mentioned was HIV, but she referred to it as "her HIV", I was like, NO! Thinking to myself that she should know better than to decree ownership of something over her daughter, even though the story was actually a testimony. 

I learn a lot from Jesse Duplantis and Bill Winston, two of my favorite bible teachers. 

Jesse has made the statement on several occasions stating, "I'm not dealing with your am sick, I'm dealing with your, are healed". He also says, people say, "but", I don't feel healed, get your "but" out of the way, is how He puts it. 

The Double Jeopardy Clause in the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution prohibits anyone for being prosecuted for substantially the same crime. 

Jesus already took upon Himself every sin mankind has committed and the stripes on His back for every sickness and disease.  He actually became sin for us. So if He took the punishment for our sins and paid for our freedom with His blood, which He did, then why would we claim something that does not belong to us? That's double Jeopardy! 

By saying his ulsers, for an example, or her high blood pressure, also an example. Or, my high blood pressure or perhaps my cancer, all examples! These examples are claiming whatever" it "is as yours or the person diagnosed. Perhaps it's an anger issue, I have been guilty of claiming that to someone life, I repented and watched what was coming out of my mouth, turning my words from cursing to blessing. I called those things that be not as thought they were until they manifested. 

It's always a spiritual issue! We are made in Gods image so it's not our issue, but an assignment against us from our enemy himself! To deal with anything we need to look at our Constitution, which is the Bible, it has all our answers, we simply need to search them out. As Holy Spirit to help you find the answers, He will!

Here's more that just cant to me. Saying things like, "he, she, or they are a brat, he is just like his dad, or, she is acting just like her mom. They will never end up to be anything, so and so is lazy, stupid, dumb. So and so eats like a pig pig. Do you get the picture? That's cursing the person. Speak the Word of God, speak the opposite of what you see. I believe it was Bill Winston that said, speaking what Gods Word says is not lying, His Word is truth! Call those things that be not as thought they were. Romans 8:28

I have told my own grandkids on many occasions, you are not a brat and you will not act like one, your a good girl or your a good boy, depending on what grandchild I am talking to. I speak life over my myself, my husband, our kids and grandkids. And I break every word curse that has been spoken over me and my family. I speak those things that be not as though they were. I decree the Word of God. That's, creating my world. 

The key is consistency! Not just saying it, but living it. Faith without works is death. People think if you say it once you should see the results, then they get discouraged and stop having faith for Gods Word to manifest, I've been there, I know!  Not only is consistency important, but trusting Gods Word to come to pass no matter how long it takes is equally important.  We need to hold fast to our confession of faith, He who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23

Blessings

 

 Welcome!   2-1-23

When we were born again (excepted Jesus as Lord and Savior of our lives) the Bible says we became a new creation, (a new person) old things, (the way we used to want to do things and be) passed away (died) and behold all things have become new. (A new way of living and being) 2 Corinthians 5:17 (emphasis mine) 

As I read and study Gods Word, it plants the seed of what I'm reading, what I'm studying in the soil of my heart. It plants more of who He is, more of Jesus, in my heart. It creates a trust in Him and His Word in me. I have faith in His Word which is what I endeavor to live by. The more His Word becomes real to me it annihilates my old nature. I see things through the eyes of the spirit, through faith.  My mind is being renewed to a righteous way of living. I no longer want to live as the world lives. Even though no one knows the day nor the hour of Christs return, everyday lived we are closer to the clouds splitting open, than the day before . 

Deception is more prevalent with each passing day, the enemy would use anything possible to try and deceive. However! Greater is He,  (Jesus-The Word, the planted seed) who is in us than he (satan) who is in the world! No weapon (of deception) formed against us shall prosper as long as we allow the seed the Word of God to grow to maturity (having faith in God and All that He Is, more than what we see with our natural eyes and hear with our natural ears). It is SO important to put the whole armor of God on, on a daily basis. 

Ephesians 6:13-17 Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]. 14 Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your lions having put on the breastplate of integrity and moral rectitude and right standing with God. 15 And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness and the readiness produced by the good news] of the gospel of peace. 16 lift up all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one]. 17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God. AMPC

Faith works through love, so if our faith walk is slipping, we need to look at our love walk, chances are it too is slipping, we may need to forgive someone. Our enemy, the devil, sneaks in any cracked door he can find. He roams around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5:8. As I said in a previous post, Forgiveness! Not a popular act of obedience, but a freeing one! We need to keep the door closed to the enemy! 

Once the body of Christ has the revelation that the Word they put in their spirit [heart] when growing toward maturity has more authority than anything the devil can throw our way, and has the power when decreed in faith to crush the already defeated enemy and his cohorts, his imps. We will be unstoppable through Christ Jesus!

Luke 4:6 and the devil said, "All this authority I will give You and their glory; for the has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.    Notice, he didn't include power in his bribe, he only has the power we give him through an open door, which can simply be saying a negative thing that goes against Gods Word and our decree of faith. Open doors can come through giving into pressure. Sometimes the pressure can be intense, but if we have our armor on, having the seed of Gods Word-the gospel, firmly planted in the soil of our heart we will stand firm knowing we have strength through Christ not to be overpowered by temptation of the flesh. To say, I don't think so devil, the word of God says..., and every need has already been met, It's a matter of receiving what is already ours. Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee, we overcome him by the blood of the lamb. and the word of our testimony. James 4:7   Revelation 12:11. 

I plead or apply the blood of Jesus over myself, my family, finances, ministry, etc. Jesus is our advocate, our intercessor, He takes our case before Father God stating His blood set us free! Therefore the enemy who is the accuser of the brother-us, his case against us is thrown out of the courts of heaven, dismissed. But Jesus needs our decree of faith to present our case before Father God. On the other hand, if our confession is in agreement with negative thoughts the enemy puts in our mind, he takes that case before God the Father, even though Jesus paid the price to set us free, our confession is the opposite of what He did for us, therefore, He can't present a positive confession, a positive case. The negative decree of our confession is given. However, if we repent of the negative confession we made and bind the enemy from using it against us, the negative decree is overturned. But still, damage control to the negative confession may be in order. That happened to me in a huge way. But through obedience to God and His direction, He turn what satan meant for evil around for His glory! Genesis 50:20 Romans 8:28 Hebrews 4:14-16   Job 2:1-2 

We must have confidence in our Heavenly Father's Word, knowing He WILL take care of us, exceedingly and abundantly above all we can ask or think according to the power that works in us! Ephesians 3:20. Jesse Duplantis teaches the power that works in us is our saying and believing.  That makes total sense since we are created in Gods image. Genesis 1. However, it requires of us to walk in His ways, not our own! To be in His Word so we know what legally belongs to us through Christ-The anointed One and His anointing! Anointing, is the power of God, the supernatural power of God to do what only He can do. That's why, With God, All things are possible! With man it's impossible, but not with God! Mark 10:27  

The image that comes to me, is seeing someones breath as they exhale in freezing temperature, you can see their breath. Now imagine speaking the Word of God in faith, our words are put into the atmosphere, the more we decree in faith, the more it gives angels their assignment, food (if you will) energy to go forth, manifesting the Word of God in our lives. Exceedingly and abundantly! It's the good fight of faith! I believe it was Bill Winston who said, it's a good fight because through Christ we've already won! Our job is not to give up, but to be strong in the Lord and at the power of His might! Ephesians 6:10. Hebrews 1:14

Let's get in the Word to know our rights as God's children, then stand and decree firmly in faith on the truth we know! It will set us free!

Then Jesus said to the jews who believed in Him. If you remain in My word then you are truly My disciples. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free, John 8:31-32 

Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. John 8:36 

1 John 4:4 But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won victory over these people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who is in the world. NLT 

1John 4:4 ...He who is in you is greater than he that is in the world. MEV

Revelation 19:13 He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood. His name is called The Word of God. MEV 

John 14:20 I am in My Father and you are in Me and I am in you. MEV

And the Word (Christ) became flesh and dwelt among us...John 1:14 NKVJ (emphasis mine)

The Bible says in, Hebrews 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith... NKJV 

Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ the Son of the living God. NKJV

Forgiveness! Not a popular act of obedience, but a freeing one! 

In August of last year I had a dream. In my dream there was a coach who wanted 7 men to be on his team, he was looking for men 7 ft. tall. There was a brand new motorcycle I road with a button on the left handle bar, when pushed, it gave the motorcycle more power. Each time the button was pushed the motorcycle would react differently, go faster, more power, drive normal, and fighting mode. Same motorcycle, but a different motor with each push of the button.   

The same coach, (which  represented Holy Spirit in my dream) as I was looking over a valley, on the other side of the valley, there was a white cloud and a grey storm cloud in the sky. The white cloud was just under the grey cloud, the coach said to me, "you need to rise above the storm." 

Holy Spirit keeps brining this dream to my remembrance, I believe there is a reason for that. 

To me it meant I needed to rise above the storm that is in my life! It is also telling me I need to rise above whatever storms that may come my way.

The storm in my life caused un-forgiveness. Forgiving, places me above the storm. Which means not rehearsing the cause of the storm, that just reopens the already scabbed wound. 

I needed to be the bigger person, for lack of a better way of saying it. I needed to forgive the person that did me and my husband wrong. God knew about the situation before it happened. He knew what my husband and I would be facing, and He knew I would need to forgive! 

There is more to the dream which I won't go into except to say, I knew as long as I paid attention, and was aware of the power of each motor, I would be able to ride-drive the motorcycle. 

Philippians 3:13-14 ...forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

When we ask God to forgive us, He forgives us and forgets! He doesn't throw our past (what He forgave) in our face. He doesn't complain about what I did that He paid the price for to free me from. That's what I was doing. 

Not forgiving is a Blessing blocker, it will stop your prayers from being answered. That's what it was doing to me. I did what I knew to do to get my prayer answered. But I forgot one thing, forgiveness! I couldn't figure out, the why? Why wasn't I receiving the manifestation of what I was believing for? Then Holy Spirit spoke to my heart, you need to forgive,...! 

It hit me, that's why! Then, God added another name to the list. I knew I was supposed to text this person and forgive him. I thought I had deleted his number from my phone when a member of my family was no longer under his supervision. I still had his number, that was my confirmation. I text him as soon as I seen I still had his number.

When you forgive someone, it's ok if they don't respond in a manner you feel they should. Obedience to Gods Word is the key! Their response isn't. It's also ok if you simply forgive in your heart asking God to forgive you for holding un-forgiveness. The person that you need to forgive may have passed away, God knows the heart, so let un-forgiveness go and be free. 

- Forgiveness will keep you from the tormentor. Matthew 18:32-35. We forgive for ourselves, it frees us! It isn't saying what the other person(s) did was right.  It's not about them, it's about me, it's about you, and allowing God to bring wholeness into our lives! 

- To me, forgiveness means not talking about the situation, (So and so did this and that, oh, but I forgive them.) and treating the person as if it never happened, I've done that before, I had too, I've had to love no matter what! Trust is another issue. If Gods healing power is allowed, or if true repentance has happened, trust will be restored. 

- We need to forgive so we can be forgiven. Mark 11:26

I don't feel I can write about anything I haven't gone through myself and how God has taught me as I went through the storm. Notice I said "through" the storm, not camping out in the storm, that can be deadly, especially if lightening is involved. But going all the way through, as in keep moving through until the storm is over, it's in your past, at your back.

There are times when forgiveness seems the hardest thing to do, however, on the other side of forgiveness is freedom!

I have said on fb lives and in my blogs, that He (God) is Trust... Worthy! Some may be wondering what the, dot dot dot, after the word, Trust, are there for? 

It's been on my heart to explain the, ...

I have heard that, dot dot, dot, or... is telling the reader that there is more to the story, or more come. When He Is Trust... Worthy!  dropped in my spirit, I sensed God was saying, no matter the situation. Each dot represents a situation, knowing the dots continue to any situation we face in life.

There is going to be a continuation of life, in each and every situation He Is Trust...Worthy! He Is Faithful! 

When a couple get married, the covenant promise they have made with each other along with the consummation of the marriage creates a oneness, a faithfulness, a trust that should never be broken.  If the covenant they have is broke, the trust is broke. God does not break His promises-His covenant He will not break. Psalm 89:34.   He is a covenant keeper!  When everything goes awry, He keeps His part of the covenant! If something goes wrong, we need to look in the mirror, asking Holy Spirit to reveal to us where we missed it, and repent, meaning, stop doing it and move forward allowing Holy Spirit to guide you. 

Somethings , however, that a person gives into or allows into their life becomes a stronghold (something that dominates) that only Jesus came set us free from because He is the one who took the addiction, perversion, or whatever the stronghold is on himself and paid the price in His blood for our freedom. That's another reason He Is Trust...Worthy! He already paid for it, (whatever we need) it's a done deal! Forgiveness and Freedom is already ours, we simply need to repent and receive it! 

In God there is continuation of everything, a creative force. As long as God is, we are. Even when we pass on, or the return of Christ, which ever comes first, our spirit will continue to live throughout eternity. 

Eternity: infinity or unending time.   

-- a state to which time has no application; timelessness   

-- endless time after death

I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. Revelation 22:13. NKJV The Passion Translation in verse 13 reads, the Beginning and the Complete. 

Trusting Him allows that creative force to create, bringing forth what His Word says is ours. Wholeness in every area of life, spiritual, physical, social, financial,  in our families, it's all ours in Christ! Now the just shall live by faith...Hebrews 10:38.  for in Him we live and move n ad have our being...'For we also are His offspring'. Acts 17:28

In the Greek dictionary Alpha means, "First" or "Beginning". 

In the Greek, Beginning means, beginning, organ, first; ruler, power, authority, position of authority, domain. 

In the Greek, End means, end, result, outcome, finish, goal, revenue, tax, duty. 

When I looked up the meaning of the word "End" from Revelation 22:13, in the Greek translation, the word that jumped out at me was, finish, as in, He paid the price and completed-finished the work on the cross, therefore, that makes Him, Trust...Worthy! He's already taken care of it, we simply need to trust Him!    Jesus is our source of everything we need, end of story!    IF, we Trust Him to be!

We can Trust Him for any...thing...we...need...! 

He's Worthy of our Trust, physically

He's Worthy of our Trust, financially

He's Worthy of our Trust, to restore marriages

He's Worthy of our Trust to free a anyone from a drug addiction

He's Worthy of our Trust to set an alcoholic free

He's Worthy of our Trust to set a sex addict free...

I hope you can see that Jesus took all our sins, sicknesses, diseases, poverty, addiction, mental torment on Himself, He became sin for us so we can be made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. 

Any and every stronghold has been defeated! It's up to us to receive our freedom.

Colossians 2:13-15  You were dead because of your sin and because your sinful nature was not cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for He forgave all our sins. 14 He cancelled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. 15 In this way, He disarmed (or stripped off) the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by His victory over them on the cross. 

-He healed our oldest grandson who was 3 months preemie and doctors said who be a vegetable.

-He brought our daughter home who was estranged for 7 1/2 years.

-He healed our marriage, now it's amazing! 

Man said the first two things would never happen. But with God all things are possible!

I wanted to leave my marriage but God said to stay and love my husband no matter what. So I did, Now our marriage is awesome! But it took me knowing, He Is Trust...Worthy!

God looks at the heart! 

First let me say, Im not saying cussing is ok, in fact, to me, depending on the situation, cussing makes the person look ugly. 

There are times, however,  I believe people cuss as a way of feeling stronger, empowered in life, it's their defense mechanism .

Throughout my life I have not been one to cuss, it's not who I am. In fact, when I have cussed on rare occasions it not only felt wrong, but I knew it wasn't me and not the way I wanted to be. 

All of that being said, the other day for whatever reason I was thinking about people that cuss, when it came to me, just popped in my spirit, "Jesus looks at the heart". That tiny statement got me thinking about the lives of well known people who have passed away who had professed Jesus as the Lord of their lives, and those living who profess Jesus as Lord of their lives that have had or who now have hang ups.

A while back, probably a few months ago now, I was watching an interview between Paul Crouch Jr and his wife, she was interviewing him. During the interview Paul Jr talked about the reasons he left TBN. To be honest, part of what he said wasn't surprising, I seen what was happening to a degree. Other things he disclosed during the interview were surprising to me, but left me meditating on how good, loving, and forgiving God is! 

People can be quick to judge and throw stones, forgetting they need to first get the plank out of their own eye and drop the stone they are so ready to throw. I know I've been there, I'm preaching to the choir. 

What Paul Jr said during the interview about his parents was really surprising to me, but again, it got me thinking, about the heart, God sees our heart! He sees the motive behind everything thing we do, good or bad. He also sees the struggles we go through, knowing we have an enemy who takes pleasure in destroying us any way he can, and using those struggles to try and do just that. 

I'm grateful that God looks at my heart and sees no matter the struggles I go through and the times I have fallen, that He is my First love! I am quick to repent when I know I have done wrong and I choose to surrender my life to Him, knowing He absolutely has my very best interest at heart! 

Jeremiah 29:11   I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out--plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. MSG 

John 10:10   The thief does not come expect to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. 

Matthew 7:5  Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's.

John 8:7..."He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone" 

1 Samual 16:7  ...For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.   (emphasis mine)

There is a reason for everything that happens in life. Cussing, drinking, doing drugs, promiscuous sex,  rebellion, anger, lying, and the list goes on! God sees the heart so he knows the reason behind it all. He knew what we were going to do and say, yet He died to free us from the bondage of it all, despite it all! 

God sees and knows our heart! I'm So Thankful!

Blessings!

 Welcome!     1-15-23

Scrolling on fb, I came across a post from Anita Alexander, she's from Australia and to me, goes deep into the Word of God. . At first I simply shared the post to place it on my page for a later read and clicked out of fb.

About thirty minutes later I clicked back on to fb again and read her post. She talked about faith. The Goliaths-giants and trials vs faith in God. As I was reading her post, towards the end something she said nudged my spirit, I seen it in a different light. In, 1 Samual 17, David said to Goliath, "who shall defy the armies of the living God". It hit my spirit, we, as Christians, are the army of the living God! Even though I knew this, it hit me, being apart of Gods army, if I-we stay in faith knowing that He is the Commander and chief, using the battle plan of Faith in His Word, I-we are unstoppable ! 

What will stop us in our tracks is unbelief! What will advanced us and keep advancing us is Faith in God as we run toward our Goliaths. Our enemy, satan, is not going to just give up ground. We, as the army of God have to take our ground back with the force-faith. Matthew 11:12. 

Faith is a force field, it draws what you are believing for to you, just as fear does. Since faith without works is dead, James 2:26. We have to put feet to our faith and advance as God directs. 

Defy: Openly resist or refuse to obey.    To challenge to do something considered impossible. 

Years ago I was let go from a lead-second in command position at a Beauty School. I was being too vocal on the students behalf. I applied for unemployment. The HR director of the school who happened to be the owners wife lied about the reason I was let go, stating many untruths. When I had a phone meeting with the a woman from the unemployment office she started naming off the reasons for my dismissal, I said "whoo whoo, what? stating none of that happened, then telling her of the responsibilities I had that I completed on or before they were suppose to be done, etc... By the time we ended our phone conversation I sensed I had won my case, however, I stood on-held strong to the scriptures that dropped in my spirt in 1 Samual 17, stating that I have a covenant with God and that what I was up against was an uncircumcised philistine. Meaning, God had my back, not theirs. God won my case for me because I trusted Him and stood on His Word to me! 

Many, I believe, do not trust Gods Word because they have not experienced the power of His Word manifesting in their lives. I know that was me until I dared to believe His Word despite everything and everyone that was screaming the opposite. The storm was raging around me, but I had to keep my eyes focused on Him! Not the circumstances or the voices trying to scream in my ear. I had to shut my eyes and close my ears to everything and everyone except God, and stay in His presents. Staying in His presence didn't mean I was always on my knees before Him, it meant that when the storm would try to get loud I had to say, peace! Be still! Gods Word says... Quoting the scriptures I was standing on and believing to manifest in my life, despite the storm! 

We can be in a storm and not feel the effects of it if we are resting in God, meaning trusting Him, knowing He is our source of everything we need, He is the great I AM! He is whatever we need Him to be, whenever we need Him to be it. Labor to enter His rest. Hebrews 4:9-11 So there is a special rest (or Sabbath rest) still;l waiting for the people of God. 10 For all who have entered into Gods rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. 11 So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall. NLT 

Verse 10 AMPC reads; For he who has once entered [God's] rest also has eased from [the weariness and pain] of humans labors, just as God rested from those labors peculiarly His own. 

These scriptures tell me that my labor should be in studying Gods Word, embedding it into the soil of my heart so that my faith will grow in Him! In Him I rest knowing He has already won the battle! I simply need to fight the good fight of faith in His finished work on the cross knowing I win, because He won! 

Colossians 2:15 [God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross]. AMPC 

While the storms of life are seen and heard, faith in Gods Word is a spiritual unseen force, when declared it is a form of matter that creates to bring His Word to pass. God is always creating. He will do whatever it takes to bring His Word to pass because we dare to believe Him, despite all else! 

David didn't just know about God, he KNEW God! He trusted Him! He KNEW GOD WAS, AND IS, TRUST...WORTHY! 

Blessings!

 Welcome!     1-3-23

Something annoyed me while watching a few highlights of family feud. I needed to stop and think about why I was annoyed.

The question on fast money was something like this, name a place you go to that you hope it hurries up and gets over? The number one answers was, church. Initially, I said to my husband, "then why bother going if you want to hurry up and leave?"  I had to stop and think about the, why?

I thought about churches that want their own agenda instead of allowing the power-anointing of Holy Spirit to fill the sanctuary. One church I attended comes to mind as I am writing this. I remember the praise team was in worship before God, I was on my knees before Him allowing Holy Spirit to have His way. Then, all of the sudden, the worship stopped and the Spirit, for lack of a better word, was silenced.

After experiencing, but not understanding why Holy Spirit was being silenced, Having a heart for praise and worship, I joined the praise team only to find out we were only given  so many minutes in the service for praise and worship, regardless. One of the leaders leading the service would walk up and stand beside the pulpit next to the person leading worship until she stopped the worship, handing him the microphone. I have nothing good to say about that.  I do know our enemy is not each other but principalities and powers-evil spirits people have given into-allowed in their life, I have been guilty as we all have been at one time or another therefore, grace is required. 

The morning after watching family feud I needed to retract the statement I made to my husband. I wasn't upset with the people going to church, but to the leaders of the churches. 

As I have matured in the things of God, I have often wondered why I was not taught curtain things in the different churches I have been a member of through out my life? (Just throwing that thought out there)

 Allowing Holy Spirit to flow, to me, means I must surrender all of the hidden places of my heart to the Lord, allowing crushing of my flesh to take place. It means not living my life to please my flesh, or man, but God. When I allow the crushing of the bad stuff to be pushed out of me, it allows room for His power to fill me and over flow through me. 

The Bible says my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, Therefore, I need to treat it as such so He will feel comfortable living in me. Crushing is never easy, but it is necessary. In the past it's meant I had to admit things to myself about myself that were hard to admit. But once I admitted them and repented-walked away from... It allowed room for  more of Holy Spirit. 

It requires one to have a hunger for God and the things of God more than anything else. As we draw closer to Him, that becomes a greater desire! Putting Him and His Word first place. That's one of the main reasons I get up so early in the morning, to spend the first hours of my day with God, just me and Him. One on one time. Giving Him the first part of my morning. 

I have said on one or more of my FB lives that I want God to use me and see people healed, delivered-demonic chains broke off, and set free! This requires total surrender to God on my part. Each level of anointing-power God trusts me with, God requires something of me. Surrender, I believe, is what many leaders in the body of Christ do not want to do. It requires too much of them. It would perhaps mean their name would not be known. I know of one pastor that wanted the approval of man, man's approval to him was important. His church closed down. It may mean they shouldn't drink an alcoholic beverage. Surrender does mean no sleeping around, dropping all forms of pride, forgiveness and walking in love even when it hurts the flesh to do so. Surrender mans different things to each individual, that's between you and God. 

There have been too many cracked open doors for satan to walk through, leaving the door wide open for the enemy to wreak havoc and hurt people in the body of Christ, causing spectators to want no part of what they see.

Pride is why satan fell, and it is why we see leaders who are being exposed-falling. They open the door to the enemy by giving into the spirits of greed, lust, etc, their soul is required of them. Without repentance they will hear, depart from Me, I never knew you. 

They hide behind the cross instead of kneeling before it.

Matthew 7:22-23 Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord', shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? 23 Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!

If God will use a donkey, He will use anyone! But will the life God has used in the church walls cause others to stumble and fall away from God outside of the church walls were the hidden places of the heart are exposed-the skeletons, hidden in the closet have been exposed. I've seen it happen! And the blame is placed on God. 

There is a song I had a solo part in while on the praise team at a churches I attended for several years. The words to my solo was, "my life is not my own, to You I belong, I give myself, I give myself away." Those words have been ringing in my ear the past couple of days. 

Giving yourself / myself solely to God so His power can freely flow through you / me, that is when people will not be in a hurry to leave church. When the presents of God is so strong that people are healed in their seats without being touched by human hands. When the Love of God, the joy of the Lord, the peace of God, the power of Holy Spirt, the cloud-presents and the fire (not natural fire, but supernatural fire) of God is so heavy that all anyone one will want to do is bask in His presents! That's when NO ONE will be in a hurry to leave. 

It has already begun! Mario Murillo and Sean Feucht are only two examples of many who will not compromise-bow to man or the ani-christ agenda. Do they have opposition? absolutely yes, they do! However, God always opens the doors for them and makes a way for them to do what He has called-directed them to do. He's protected them and their families. They have surrendered their lives to Him! People are drawn to the presents of God that protrudes out of them. Their surrender to God is bringing salvation-healing and deliverance to others! They know the souls of people are at stake, that it is NOT about them, but souls! 

God has been speaking to me to surrender more of myself to Him! How about you? 

Blessings!
