Don't shrink back!

What do you do when it seems all of hell is coming at you?

Because I was raised in religion and not relationship what I heard for decades was-"you don't want to make the devil mad." But the Truth is, through the name and  by the blood of Jesus I have authority over the devil! In my blog on, 10-30-24  I state, we are to stay on the offense and stand on Jesus finished work on the cross...   The enemy is defeated! Colossians 2:14-15. So why would we be afraid of him?

I had a situation just recently were I new the enemy was trying to come against me, my solution, push back and double up on what I am doing for the Lord! The enemy is just a bully, and when a  bully knows you are not afraid of him or her, they back off. When the enemy knows you are not afraid of him and that all he is going to get are two black eyes and a busted nose, he backs off! It doesn't mean he won't try something else later, but he WILL back off! 

It has taken me spending time with God and Him teaching me my rights as His child to receive the revelation that I DO have power over the enemy through Jesus Christ! The Bible says in Revelations 5:10 that I am a king-small (k) He is the King of kings... and the enemy is the prince of the power of the air-this worlds system, Ephesians 2:2. Since he is only a prince and I am a king, a king rules over the prince, and commands the prince, not the other way around! 

So if the enemy-all hell, is bullying you, push back! Discover who you are in Christ and Take your God given authority over him! Don't be afraid to push back, he only has power, through fear, that you give him! 

Blessings!

Let's dive a little deeper!

If you have been following me by either reading these posts, watching the videos I share or watching when I was going live on fb, I hope you're sensing the hunger I have to know God for myself, which means knowing His truth.  What I am discovering is, the more I know not only about God, but about who I am in Christ, the less I am worried about this, that and the other thing. 

This morning I was decreeing Psalm 91 over me, my family, this nation, etc. The end of verse fourteen reads, ( I make it personal) He will set us on high because we have known His name. That brief sentence Tok my thoughts to Ephesians 2:6 and He raised us up and seated us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.   According to the late Kenneth Hagan, we are seated in heavenly whether our circumstances look like it or not. 

So, if I know Him as healer, the fiery darts of sickness won't effect me because I am seated with Christ, which means I have the victory over that-I am the healed! If I know Him as my provider when the fiery dart of lack comes knocking at my door wanting in, I don't even open the door because I know Jesus paid the price with His blood to free me-redeem me from poverty! Will I have to stand on who I am in Christ and what Jesus redeemed me from? YEP! But If I know Who's I am,  I just keep standing and the enemy WILL back up! The enemy is defeated and has nothing on a child of God who knows who they are in Christ. 

I am not saying the enemy won't try to convince you that he has power, he is the prince of the power of the air-which is this worlds system. Ephesians 2:2. However, he is also a defeated foe! When Jesus was on the cross He said "It is finished" John 19:30. Colossians 2:14-15. 

Our Job, we stay on the offense and stand on Jesus finished work on the cross knowing that He paid the price for our salvation--redemption, with His shed blood, living our life in faith in Jesus, knowing His Name--Healer, provider, peace, strength, restoration, wholeness, protector, deliverer... 

Psalm 91:14  Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him, I will set him on high, because he has known My name. 

Blessings!

Growing up...

Through my years of adolescence into my teens and even adulthood I heard scripture quoted, but never seen anything come of it. I never seen answered prayer, that is, until I got to know God for myself.  

I was raised around religion, not relationship. It wasn't until I was at a point in my life that I felt absolutely hopeless, that I turned to the God of all hope. I have told this story and others like it many times, and will continue to do so because people need to know there is hope! 

God does not have to prove Himself to anyone, but He does meet us where we are at, teaching us who He Is...He Is, I AM! He knows our thoughts, He knows our heart. 

Since I had never seen His Word work-meaning, although I heard His Word quoted, I had not seen healing manifest, peace, joy, strength in God, etc. I just seen religion, but I did not know that is what I was seeing. 

I seen and heard a lot of things I will not go into.

God The Father knew He needed to teach me Who He Really Is! He taught me I can trust Him, that He-His Word-His promises to me won't lie to me or fail me! He taught me it took me doing my part, and that He would do His part than His Word would manifest in my life and the life of others. It took my faith in His Word and doing what His Word said to bring the manifestation to pass. 

He showed me that He loved me no matter my faults or failures, that it isn't a conditional love, because He Is Love! He Is Only Good! 

Since I have learned the ways of God (and I'm still learning) I am a witness to the manifestation of His healing, His restoration, and His provision. I know His peace, His strength, and and have witnessed His protection over me and my family! 

He is not only faithful, He Is Trust...Worthy! 

Blessings!

Peace...What is it? 

Inner peace that comes from God, how do you explain it? 

Better yet, how do you get it??

That was a question I asked myself, how would I explain Gods peace? Having it and yet explaining it are two separate things.

I kept being reminded of the book I purchased by Tony Evans--The Power of God's Names. I was also reminded I sensed God wanted me to encourage people in the, Power of His Names--Who He Is!

I have said often, He is my Peace! But how to explain the, Peace that can only come from Him?? 

As I opened, The Power of God's Names, going to the chapter, JEHOVAH SHALOM, THE LORD IS PEACE, it took me to a two truths I had not considered.

Obedience --

Rebellion-- 

I had not connected those two with having peace. But looking back on my life when I was either in disobedience or in rebellion against God, I had no peace. Some may say the two are the same-or connected, and they very well may be, but to me, they are different even if only a little.

This world needs peace, yet for far too long have walked in not only rebellion against God-as I once did, or disobedience for whatever reason. Neither avenues lead to Gods Peace. It's a supernatural Peace that cannot be explained. 

Thinking back on the different things I have been instructed to do, from the very smallest of things such as, paying for a person behind me in the checkout line at dollar tree that only has one item, to something huge like preparing hundreds of documentation for a business.  In both cases each assignment gave me the Peace of God because I was walking in not only my assignment, but in obedience.  

The girl in the checkout line behind me was young-early twenties, I'm guessing, and purchasing colored pens. When the cashier took my two items to ring them up I told her to add the pens. The smile on the girls face was huge, she said, "really!?" and gave me a hug, I told her Jesus loved her and told me to pay for hers too. She acted as though I gave her $100. Something so simply, and to me so little, yet seemingly to her it meant a lot. The peace I had in obeying that simply assignment was, and is, priceless!

Thinking back decades ago when I was in rebellion against God, there was not only no peace, but there was turmoil in my spirit as well. My act of rebellion had opened the door to the enemy. I wasn't happy and anxiety soon followed the rebellion, which I had never had before. That one act of rebellion opened a Pandora's box.    That God for His forgiveness and grace in my life!!!

As I read through, Tony Evans Book, there is much more that I can write, but they would be his words and not mine. However, I will add a few things he penned. Peace is bigger than calm. The word shalom means "wholeness, completeness, or well being." It means having things properly aligned and ordered.  peace isn't tied to circumstances...Peace has to do with well being regardless of circumstances. Being at peace means you're at rest even when everything else seems to be all wrong.   THE POWER OF GOD'S NAMES...TONY EVANS. 

Knowing God's Word, leads to Trusting Him in all things, obeying Him in the big and small things...And that all Equals... Peace!!!

Blessings!

Isaiah 54:17  No weapon formed against you shall prosper!

What is a weapon?  A weapon is anything that tries to exalt itself against our salvation.

The weapon could be depression, fear, anxiety, stress, worry, or etc... 

God says, Peace I leave with you,  My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:37

The weapon could be health issues. Isaiah 53:5 ...By His stripes we are healed. 

As Jesse Duplantis says; you don't deny the sickness, you deny it's right! 

As children of God the curse should have no place in our lives. What is the curse? Lack of any kind weather it's in your health, finances, family,  business, education, socially, etc. 

A weapon could be financial lack, Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  There is a process, but if we do it Gods way, all the way, our very need will be met! 

My husband has always been a good provider, he's always had a wonderful work ethic, at times he worked too hard, or too much. One day I told God, "Lord I know my husband is a good provider, but I want to know You as my provider." God took me up on my request,. He taught me what I needed to know and what I needed to do that would cause me to know Him as my provider. Obedience and trusting Him! Trusting His Word will do what He says it will do!

Perhaps you're reading this and you are addicted to drugs or alcohol. Gods Word says who the Son makes free is free indeed! John 8:36  I know of 2 people who God delivered from drugs and alcohol! It wasn't a process or a three step program (nothing against those programs) but it was God who delivered them! It was a heart issue, God knew their heart, and He knew they were serious about surrendering their lives to Him. 

Perhaps you're a prostitute and have been told your aren't worth anymore than that. I'm here to let you know, God does not make junk! You are beautifully and wonderfully made in His image! Psalm 139:14. You are worth SO much more than what any persons unqualified opinion of you!!! 

God never said a weapon would not form, but He did say those weapons would not prosper! Get to KNOW God and KNOW who you are in Christ.  Stand on His Word and let the weapons know they have no place or right to be in your life! 

Blessings!

The process...?

The Bible says in Luke 12:2  For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 

Nothing, means nothing! 

There are loved ones that are being prayed for, it may be for salvation, deliverance, healing or any other situation. God's Word promises us salvation, which is more than, Yeah! I'm going to heaven. It's healing health, protection, financial freedom...wholeness in every area of our lives!

Yet there are times when what is hindering our prayers from being answered is hidden behind the scenes, or behind closed doors. 

I have tried and tested Gods Word in my own life in seemingly impossible situations, He IS faithful to His Word! He cannot lie, what He says, is! It takes our faith in Him and patience while He is working behind the scenes to bring the darkness to light, or to uncover what is covered. 

There are situations-things, in every area of life, personally, in government, in education, banking, media, etc. which have been hidden that God is bring to light. People who have seemingly been getting away with horrible things for years are now going to be exposed, but it's going to be a process! We need to hold onto God and Trust Him in and through the process! I sensed I was supposed to add to that statement-- God is exposing and judging! 

Trust Him for protection, Psalm 91, I speak it over me and my Family daily! There have been situations in with me personally and with my grandkids where I know Gods angels have protected because of me declaring Psalm 91 over our lives. 

You may have some situations which cause great concern during the process of God bringing many to justice. Trust God while claiming His promises over you, your family and this nations through the process! 

I heard a pastor years ago say, God is not moved by our tears-meaning, God... do You see what is happening?? But God is moved by your faith! I have found that statement to be absolutely true! Remind Him of His Word! 

Lord, Your Word says in Luke 15 that my prodigal have come to their senses, I thank You that they have, and that Your Word will not return to Your void! I thank You that You have given Your angels charge over me and my family as Your Word decrees in Psalm 91. Your Word says in Isaiah 54:17  that no weapon formed against me, my family or this nation shall prosper, I thank You that Your Word is true and will not return You void! Even though weapons have formed, I thank You that they will not prosper ! You Will do what You said You will do, and fulfill Your promises, in Jesus mighty name! Amen! 

Almost 2 decades ago I had no hope, everything in my life was falling apart, I felt I had no reason to get out of bed when I woke. I had to trust God because I had no where else to turn, He was my ONLY hope! 

I cannot talk about the faithfulness of God without experiencing it myself. I cannot say, He Is Faithful without knowing, He Is Faithful! I hate being lied to, God has shown--proven to me that He not only won't lie to me, but that he can't lie because not only is there no darkness in Him, but because as He speaks, it is! 

I want to encourage you, to get to KNOW God, because to KNOW Him, is to TRUST Him! He knows your struggles, fears, and heart aches. He is only a whisper away! 

Blessings!

What holds our thoughts? 

What has a hold on the way we think? 

What are we listening to that is taking our thoughts to a place of despair?

I was looking through one of my journals this morning from 4-21-21. I journaled the following-a stronghold is a place, not a person. Also, a stronghold is anything in your mind that exults itself above the truth of Gods Word. 

Exult= Raise to a higher position, or magnify.

If you think about it, anything we give precedence to in our mind we are giving a place of importance to. Why do you think the media has bombarded us with negative, unhealthy and untruthful cometary? What is the stronghold narrative that is trying to be shoved in our thinking? 

There are those that are of the opinion, "why should I vote? It won't matter anyway." But I am here to tell you the very opposite is true! The more people that get out and board the gates of hell with their vote, the greater the victory of taking our country back will occur! 

Don't allow the stronghold of a defeat mentality take precedence in your mind! Stand strong in the authority given to us as children of God and take our place, and take our country back! God will do His part! But we need to do our parts also, and VOTE!!! 

Look at the candidates records, do some research instead of listening to what you hear from the media. A politician will tell you what they want you to hear (be your own fact checker!) Stop the "fact checking" of media from taking up residency in your mind, ie-a stronghold. 

Provers 29:2  When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. NKJV

Proverbs 29:2 Everyone rejoices when the lovers of God flourish, but the people groan when the wicked rise to power. TPT

The word...man in the NKJV isn't talking about a gender, it's talking about people. 

Just because one doesn't talk eloquently does not mean they do not have a good heart! Do they love America? Have they done what is best for the American people? And, are they doing the best they can to help America now? Are they being attacked on every level by those who have spent decades lining their own pockets instead of putting America first? 

On the other hand, just because someone says things to tickle the ear, doesn't mean they have a good heart! Are they doing and have they done what is in the best interest for the American people? 

I heard someone say something really good a few weeks ago... You have a job you don't do well or at all, and yet you want a raise to do the job you were supposed to do but didn't.  Sound like someone? I might add, and won't do! 

VOTE!!! VOTE!!! VOTE!!! 

GOD WILL DO HIS PART, WE MUST DO OURS!!!

Blessings!

Trust, now there is a topic! 

I was raised in religion, hell fire and brimstone. I was taught if I went to a movie and Jesus came back I would go to hell, etc. I grew to know God the Father as a hard task master, but I felt Jesus was good.

Then in about 2007 my life fell apart, every aspect of it. I had no where to turn, no hope.

However, I also grew up hearing the Bible quoted all of the time, I did not see the manifestation of it, but I heard it, all the time. So when all hell broke loose I had no where to turn except to God. He began the journey of showing me that He was NOT a hard task master, and that He kept His Word. He knows us better than we know ourselves, and He knows I am really big on not only keeping my word, but being cautious of those who don't keep theirs. 

I had some scriptures that promised me Hope in my situation so I had a one sided conversation with God, saying to Him, "Your Word says You cannot lie and will not fail me, so if it is True, I will hold onto it, because I have no other hope." And that I did, it was the only hope I had. I sensed Him telling me to get up and hour early and just spend quality time with Him, so I did. I did not know how to study the Bible and did not know that many words in the Bible have a Greek and Hebrew translation-which explains many things and takes your study deeper into the meaning. 

I learned that the Bible says when you see Me you see the Father, and that God is Love-which is mind boggling in itself. He began to show me little by little that He keeps His Word and that I can indeed trust His Word, which is Him. Jesus-the Word made flesh.  John 1:14    In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and at the Word was God.   John 1:1

The Father was teaching me to know Him for myself and not what religion taught me, He had to reteach me.  Matthew 15:13

Since 2007 I have learned that God is indeed Trust...Worthy! Each of those dots go on and on to infinity-any area of our live. 

I encourage you, get to know God for yourselves. Get to Know Him for Who He really is! He did not say hard times won't come, because they will. I was going through a hard time the whole time I was getting to know Him, and even though it was tough, He gave me the peace and strength I need to go through the storms of my life. And yes, storms plural, because I was going through more than one thing a the same time. At times I would cry myself to sleep as I thanked Him for being my strength. We don't thank Him for the storm, but through the storm because He has already given us victory on the other side of the storm, always!  It's a matter of getting in His Word and getting to know Him, getting our mind renewed in the Word of God, so when things happen that are contrary to His Word we take a stand and say, no! Gods Word says... and Stand on His Word. Death and life are in the power of our tongue, and His Word had the power in Itself to bring Itself to pass.  Proverbs 18:21  Hebrews 4:12
