Double Jeopardy;

Google, Overview... A procedural defense that prevents a defendant from being tried again for the same charges after an acquittal or conviction... The double jeopardy clause is based on the idea that no person should be "twice put in jeopardy of life or limb for the same offense". 

Years ago I was watched the movie double jeopardy, and honestly I had never thought about what double Jeopardy actually meant. But then when I realized what double jeopardy actually was, I started thinking about what Jesus did on the cross, took upon Himself and becoming, so He would free us. It was then that  I realized... If He took the curse of it all on Himself, and if you can't be tried twice for the same thing-sin/curse, then we should not be taking ownership of anything and everything Jesus took on Himself, becoming, paying the price with His own blood to free us from. 

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:2. 

Something to think about... The word "my" is claiming something, or taking ownership of something, is it not? Example; My house, my car, my cloths. My allergies, is an example of something Jesus paid the price to set us free from. 

Question, so why are we taking ownership of anything Jesus has already paid the price to free us from? The enemy, in most cases, does not have the legal right to put any form of the curse on us because Jesus already took it on Himself, becoming it. That's double jeopardy! We don't deny sickness, we deny its right! It is trespassing on blood bought property! 

I understand that we need to have faith to receive His promises of healing, deliverance, prosperity, restoration, etc. And that it takes faith in the Word of God to receive freedom from what Jesus paid the price to free us from. 

This blog is by no means to belittle, put anyone down, or to sound like a know it all, because I am far from it! But if we don't know, we can't fix it. Even those who are mature in the Lord need reminders, I know I sure do!

Our tongue is the rudder of our life, James 3:4-5. I encourage you to be wise as to what you are taking ownership of, and to know satan always plays according to his own rules, to steal-kill- and destroy. 

Blessings!

Jeremiah 23:29 Is not My word like fire, says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks the rock into pieces.

I just began writing a new book titled, What are you thinking? Our thought process directs the path our lives will take. I know for me it took a many years to grab hold of the truth and believe what Gods Word said about me. That I was not only good enough and smart enough, but to receive the courage and strength of God to move forward with what He placed on my heart to do. I needed to get past the fear of rejection and know that if someone did not want to hear what I had to say, or read what I wrote, not to take it personal and think that I wasn't good enough, that it was ok!  

Jeremiah 23:29 helped in the healing process, allowing God to heal and restore my soul-Psalms 23:3. The more I discovered what His word said about me it was like a hammer in my soul that broke the stronghold of rejection and not being good enough or smart enough into pieces and replaced them with what God said about me. 

Years ago when God first directed me to go live on fb I told Him I wasn't prepared, His response was, "you've been being prepared all of your life". With His response I knew I had to do it on purpose getting past the feeling of rejection and being laughed at. I had to be intentional to say no to rejection by simply just doing what He asked me to do! 

Once I came to the realization that it wasn't about me, or how I felt, but about what He wanted to say using my voice, it was just different! 

God has now placed me on different platforms; TikTok @tammiepipgras  YouTube  Beautywithin62  and Instagram @beauty_with_tammie

Allow healing from the familiar!

Working on a book I am writing, wanted to share.

Talking about relationships, or life in general. 

I copied and pasted... Familiar spirits-the demonic realm, studies our family line from generation to generation. They know our hopes, desires, needs and wants. 

The enemy knew my deep desire was to be loved, etc. He sent someone along that was almost exactly what I was hoping for. He filled my list of desires, but only to a degree. My compromise came because he seemingly wanted me by his side and he was affectionate, I felt loved. I loved how he treated me, but not him. 

If we don’t allow God to heal us we will follow the familiar of what we know even if the familiar is unhealthy, that is what I did. The stepping stones of the unhealthy is what the enemy will use to take you from one bad and unhealthy situation to another. 

We want to be loved, needed, and excepted so bad that we don’t wait and allow God to heal us from the past and break the yoke of the unhealthy-the familiar. 

We are so used to the unhealthy that when healthy comes we  don’t know how to act because healthy isn’t the norm, therefore it seems uncomfortable. But we need to allow the uncomfortable to become the comfortable, the way God designed it to be. 

Blessings!

What I have learned...

There is Gods part and our part, but what is our part?

First allow me to start with Gods part. God lives in eternity, He knows/ sees the end from the beginning. When Jesus hung on the cross He said with a loud voice, "IT IS FINISHED!" Before committing His spirit to His Father. To me that means exactly that, He completed the work and paid the price for all eternity to set us free! He went to hell paid the price for our sins and kicked the devil and his kingdoms butt's...He disarmed them leaving them completely defeated! 

Now our part. This is what I have learned, I have done, and have experienced victory in my life because of the faithfulness of the Lord. 

I forgave. I learned that forgiving was about me, it closes the door to the enemy-who is the tormentor, the liar and thief! Not forgiving allows satan to put an assignment of fear, anxiety and mental torment on a person which leads to different things, and NONE of them are good! It's my understanding that not forgiving blocks the blessing of God, meaning, it blocks the promises of God-what we are praying and believing God for.  It stops or delays!

I stand on the Word of God by declaring it in faith and not excepting anything less. At first it may seem foolish to declare the Word of God, but faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing the Word of God coming out of our mouth. Trust me, I've been there as many of you I'm sure have. We daily need to renew our faith in the Word of God. 

Jesus is High Priest over our profession/confession, and the angels are ministering spirits sent out by our decrees of Gods Word in faith to see to it that His Word comes to pass! Angels are our servants, they excel in strength by our faith filled decrees of Gods Word which are their assignments. It's their job to bring them into manifestation-from the eternal to the natural realm.  

Here's an example--Years ago Holy Spirit showed me something about someone I am close to. Although what I seen in the spirit was far different from what I seen in the natural. I had and still have the promise of the Word of God about what He showed me. Over the years Holy Spirit taught me that even though He showed me that, it is my responsibility to live in alignment to His Word, and decree in faith consistently to bring the manifestation of what is in the spirit realm to the natural realm...ie, manifestation of His Word! I have done that, and I have seen what He showed me manifest. To God be the glory!

I have also learned how important obedience is! It was actually a huge step of obedience on my part that brought a promise of God I had been believing Him for for over seven years to bring it to pass. That time I had to close my ears to everyone, even Christians, because they were nay sayers. It was me and God, He was my two. The Bible says if two agree! He showed me through that journey that He won't lie to me! That He is faithful to do His part--Because, IT IS FINISHED!

Blessings!

Jesus went to the cross knowing it all!

Last night during bible study the subject of the thief asking Jesus to remember him when He comes into His kingdom. Jesus said to him, I assure you today you will be with me in paradise. Luke 23:40-43. We went on to talk about how Jesus knew every thing any of us would do against him... Rebel, lie, steal, cheat, murder with our mouth or? There are a number of ways we sin against God, I know I am guilty! 

However, Christ knew everything thing we have done, or would do and He still chose to take the punishment for our sin and redeem us back to the Father with His blood! He paid the price for our sins! 

The Bible wages of sin is death...The good new is that God is the restorer! He redeems the time lost--If we believe Him to do so. I know for me I needed to repent for not believing that He could do that in my life. With God all things are possible! Matthew 19:26.

So if you feel what you have done is so wrong that God will not or even cannot forgive you, know that He already knew what you and I would be tempted with by the enemy, fall into the trap he set for us and do, Yet, He chose to die for us to set us free! He chose to pay the price for our sins with His own blood! 

It's up to us if we choose to receive His free gift of salvation. I encourage you if you haven't already, to choose life! Choose Jesus!

Blessings!

This morning I was looking through one of my journals at something I penned on 3-5-23. 

The following is what I penned-- Yesterday as I was reading Revelations 12:11...They overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony...again, the word, "word" means matter. We overcome satan by the word-or matter that comes out of our mouth-Gods Word! End of what I penned.

Once we receive a revelation of that our words create and that Gods Word coming out of our mouth in faith is a creative force, we will be unstoppable in the spirit realm! The enemy, satan, is only the prince of the power of the air-or to put in another way, this worlds system. God has given us authority over the works of His hands--He created Lucifer--who was kicked out of heaven--now called satan, the father of lies, deceiver, etc. We have authority over him and his imps! 

Submit to God, resist the devil and he has to flee! James 4:7 How do we resist him? By knowing who we are in Christ Jesus! Getting Gods Word--the Bible in our spirit so when the liar, the devil or his imps whispers lies in our ear to try and create a strong hold of doubt , torment, or defeat in our mind we stand on Gods Word by telling the devil, that's not what Gods Word says about...(Me, my situation, my family, my job, my finances, my health) etc...Gods Word says I am the healed, His Word says I can do ALL things through Christ which strengthens me, His Word says I have the victory through my Lord Jesus Christ, His Word says the joy of the Lord is my strength, His Word says my God shall supply all my need according to His riches in Glory!!!  We have to realize we Stand IN the place of Victory! and that we are seated together in heavenly placed, in Christ!

When we take our place in Christ we are creating the world we live in with the words-matter, spoken in faith that is coming out of our mouth! 

The just shall live by faith in the creative force of faith matter coming out of our mouth! Believe it!

Blessings!

What are you thinking, what holds your thoughts, at the moment?

Our thoughts are a topic at large that most don't think twice about (I'm guessing anyway) However, our thoughts play a rather large part in the direction of our lives. 

The root issue for most of my life was rejection, so that was one of the things at the forefront of my thinking. Many thoughts bombarded my mind, all connected to rejection. It played a big part in the navigation of my life, it was a stronghold, and it needed to be broken. 

I believe that strongholds, or negative mindsets in our lives begin with root issues. I know what happened in my life that planted the seed of rejection, but I also recognize it has taken renewing my mind-my spirit in the Word of God that has begun to uproot the seed my Heavenly Father did not plant in my heart. Matthew 15:30

I just learned about Matthew 15:30 about a year ago. It tells me that every thought planted by the enemy in our minds-stronghold if you will, as we begin to be grounded in the Word of God, our mind begins to be renewed, which uproots wrong thinking. We begin to understand how much we mean to God which in turn we begin to understand how very much He loves us. In my case, how can I possibly feel rejected when I am so Loved by my Heavenly Father!? 

Think about it!

Blessings!
