“Division Between Us!”

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6:12)

.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood! There is a division between us that most people do not see and understand. For we create and finance wars and spending billion upon billions of dollar to fight our enemy of flesh. Many men and women are killed in this so called fight against evil and even more, people unite against other people to combat one another in the name of righteousness. But how successful is this crusade against the flesh? I liken this to going to a puppet show and slaying the puppets for their ill will and leaving the puppeteer alive. There are two realities set before us; one is the physical world, and the other is the spiritual world. I know for most of you, this is not a new concept, but it is one we must continue to build understanding about to put in full perspective of what is really going on.
.
The dark forces that work against us are not the planes that crash into buildings or the leaders and dictators who abuse. It is the spiritual forces behind these people and events that we must fight against. But how do we fight what we cannot see?  It is the same principle given to us by faith which is to Believe in things unseen but known. Our great adversary and great assets are one in the same. Belief in the unseen is the only way we as Gods’ people will survive. Understand, these things will manifest in two ways, one from the rulers on high and the second by the Faith in God. For too long, the men and women of God have seen the fruit of the evil rulers and forces; But God is calling for a time like this for our Fruits of Faith to Manifest.  The Spiritual legacy passed down through Jesus to us is greater than what we see in the world!

“Greatest Sacrifice!”
“Later on God tested Abraham’s faith and obedience. “Abraham!” God called.”Yes,” he replied. “Here I am.”  “Take your son, your only son-yes, Isaac, whom you love so much-and go to the land of Moriah . Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will point out to you.” Genesis 22:1-2
.
 “Take your son, your only son-yes, Isaac, whom you love so much….” As I was Prayer walking last night, the Lord came and spoke to my Heart. He reminded me of this story of Abraham and how he was Fatherless for many years, but the Lord spoke that he would be a Father and not only that, he would be a Father to many. It wasn’t until Abraham had Isaac that he thought God’s promised to him came to pass, but we all know that we as Christians today are the Children that Abraham was Promised. Having Isaac as his only Son, you must understand the pain he felt when God told him to kill sacrifice him as a burnt offering! Not understanding why this was so, Abraham was obedient in leading his Son up the Mountain as the Lord Commanded.
.
Beloved, what is the Greatest Sacrifice in your life? For Many years for me, it was my heart. Up until recently, I had given every part of my life to the Lord, except when it came to the area of love and relationships. I found that I was fully serving him in worship, Prayer and fellowship, but when it came to my love life, the standard of being in a Godly relationship were never in place. It wasn’t until I cried out to the Lord and asked him what I was doing wrong in my life that he showed me where I lacked and how to change. It was then that I made a full commitment of my Heart, Mind, Body and Soul to the Lord. I covenanted with the Father that I gave him my Heart until I was called to covenant with my spouse.
.
In this Moment, the Father is asking you what you are holding back from him? I know I have spoken with many who feel that there is so much more of God that they need to experience, but just don’t know how to get there. I know that my Prayers used to be that God send me more understanding of the things I do not know, but he quickly revealed to me that it is not that I need to understand the things I do not know, but to understand and follow the things I have already learned. There are many things God has spoken into our lives that we have not been obedient with and have overlooked. Instead of asking for more, but more accountable with what you have. It is by this that the Lord will add unto you.
.
We are a part of a great movement of God and in this hour He is calling for sincere Faith and Obedience. Paul once spoke and said, “We are once Children and Pagans to the world, but the time has come to put away your old ways.” It is time that we come to the altar and lay everything at the feet of Jesus. It is said that for the fruit to come forth, the seed must go into the ground and die. But even with this death comes the Glory of resurrection of life! Hallelujah! He is worthy to be praised! For when I die to myself, Christ is raised within me! I tell you the truth, let yourself die fully, for Christ to live Holy within you. The Greatest Sacrifice Jesus ever made was himself, which is why he came to be the greatest example for us to follow today.

“Holiness, it’s what I long for!”

“So think clearly and exercise self-control. Look forward to the special blessings that will come to you at the return of Jesus Christ. Obey God because you are His children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of doing evil; you didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God-who chose you to be his children-is holy. For He Himself has said, “You must be holy because I am holy.”(1 Peter 1:13-16)

“So think clearly and exercise self-control.” Beloved, never under estimate the power of obedience, especially when you hear voice of the Lord. God is calling for a people who are going to be Faithful and Diligent in the His service. “Obey God because you are His children.” As it were, when I lived in the world, I sought after worldly things making me a child of the great deceiver, but when I found the truth of the Lord and conformed to His ways, I became a Child of God. “Don’t slip back into your old ways of doing evil; you didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God-who chose you to be his children-is holy.”
.
I know for many people, living a righteous life is a struggle. To totally transform yourself to a new creation and cutting old ties that are pulling you back into a life of sin is not easy. But what is even worse is when the Lord has delivered you from a situation and you find yourself running back to it when times are tough. Just like you have built your life in the world, you have to build one in the Spirit. For when you were unsaved, you lived your life trying to satisfy the Flesh. But now God has entered into your Life, your life goals should be satisfying the things of the Spirit. “For He Himself has said, “You must be holy because I am holy.”

“Power in His Word!”
.
“One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Woman, you are healed of your sickness!” Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. Oh How she praised and thanked God!”(Luke 13:10-13)
.
“One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight.” I am reminded of a time when I myself had come under attack. It started as a minor side ache and over a period of time built into suffering and discomfort that I had for about a week. Having not brought it fully to The Lord, I thought it was due to working at a desk over a period of time. One morning, a Sister in Christ who worked with me said she had a dream. In this dream she saw me having pain on he left side of my body and I was going into surgery. She looked into my face and knows that it was something I needed to rebuke in Jesus Name because it was an attack of the enemy. That night, I read Gods word and after an two hours of praise and worship unto him, I came to the point where I said to The Lord, “It is in your word that you said it would not come back void in Jesus Name I rebuke this attack!” It was with authority and power that this was done and instantly the pain went away. I have since felt it try to come back, but every time I speak the word and promises of the Lord and have be pain free ever since! Praise His Holy Name!
.
“When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Woman, you are healed of your sickness!” Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised and thanked God!” I tell you, when The Lord comes and heals you, how the praises will flow from your mouth! For eighteen years this woman was under attack. Most people over a period of time just accept what is happening and that’s when the enemy wins. But I am here to tell you that God is calling for you to take authority in Jesus Name and rebuke what ever sickness and disease is coming against you! We are called to bind this attack at the root which is the enemy. Believe and be healed in Jesus Name! Do not accept the lies of the devil at any point! Power and authority is what the Lord is calling us to operate in. In Jesus Name, Rebuke all sicknesses and disease and any other attacks that the enemy will try to come against you with!

“You are Not your Flesh!”

“For what I do is not good that I want to do; no, it is evil that I do not want to do-this I keep on doing. Now, if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me that does it. So I find this law at work; when I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s Law, but I see another law at work in the members of my flesh…” (Romans 7:19-23)

.

“For what I do is not good that I want to do; no, it is evil that I do not want to do-this I keep on doing.” I would phrase this passage, “The Story of our Life.” The struggle to do what is right but finding yourself doing wrong. I have heard many people tell me of their struggles to Honor the Word of the Lord. To even open up their Bibles daily and to read just a verse or two, they find it next to impossible to do on a daily basis. Even harder than that, is to live a life by Godly standards. Many will try for couples of weeks and then find themselves in the same backslid state.

.
“So I find this law at work; when I want to do good, evil I right there with me.” Beloved, you must understand this key point, I have made it a mission in my life to encourage all of God’s Children. When you are preparing to do right, The Word of the Lord says Satan is right with you ready to make you stumble. This is why living a righteous life for The Lord is so hard, because the enemy is by your side trying to discourage you from doing the Work of the Lord.
.
“For in my inner being I delight in God’s Law, but I see another law at work in the members of my flesh…” Today you must realize this; you are not your Flesh! You are not the sin you commit. Do not believe in the lies that have been spoken about you. God has a mighty purpose for your life. The reason why you find it so hard sometimes is because the devil knows what God has put inside of you. Believe and Delight in God’s Law. There is a level of Freedom that God wants you to live at, but to achieve this, you must look beyond your sin and hold onto Grace.

“A Time To Pray!”.

“And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words as I boldly explain God’s secret plan that the Good News is for the Gentiles, too.  I am in chains now for preaching this message as God’s ambassador. But pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for him, as I should.”(Ephesians 6:19-20).

“And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words as I boldly explain God’s secret plan that the Good News is for the Gentiles, too.” I know you have heard it before, but this is a mighty time of God. As we continue to strive to do the Will of the Father, there is always one thing we must remember; the power of Prayer. Even Paul, who was highly anointed by God himself to preach the Gospel, asks for people to pray for him. There is power in prayer! If Faith is a substance, Prayer is a way to command that substance to take form. When you pray for strength for someone, it is your faith substance that forms into strength within that person you are praying for. When you believe for a change in a situation, you are asking in the Name of Jesus for your Faith to move from the Supernatural, to the natural.
.
“I am in chains now for preaching this message as God’s ambassador. But pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for him, as I should.” I thank God for keeping us in chains! I rather be shackled to salvation, than be bound to sin. Prayer keeps us covered under the Lord. For it is by these things that we boldly confess His Word. God has created us to praise him. So let today be the day that your power to praise be transferred into your prayers.

“Prophet Without a Home!”

“He returned to Nazareth , His hometown. When He taught there in the synagogue, everyone was astonished and said, “Where does He get His wisdom and his miracles? He’s just a carpenter’s son, and we know Mary, His mother, and His brothers-James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas.  All His sisters live right here among us. What makes Him so great?” And they were deeply offended and refused to believe in Him. Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family.” And so He did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.”(Matthew 13:54-58)
.
I wanted to write to everyone with a vision from God today and to tell you to stay strong in faith, because many times when we are on this road to fulfilling God destiny for our lives, many around us will not understand. This also was the case for Jesus. “When he taught there in the synagogue, everyone was astonished and said, “Where does he get his wisdom and his miracles?” It is written by the Holy Spirit that the revelation of Jesus is Lord shall be revealed. Though Jesus was raised in Nazareth , people still did not understand it was the Savior of the world who was with them, For instead of seeing him in His Spirit man, they only saw Him in the natural. “He’s just a carpenter’s son, and we know Mary, his mother, and his brothers-James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas.” The very community of people who he grew up around could not see that transformation that was within him.
.
“What makes him so great?” And they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him.” Beloved, I tell you this, even as a new creation in Christ, many of those who knew you before, will not receive as one who has been transformed. I have come to realize and understand that forgiveness from God is assured, but forgiveness from man is never an absolute. This is why it is written, “Forgive because God has Forgiven you.” Even more than that, for many people walk with a spiritual blindness that makes them harden within their hearts to not believe that God has changed you. “Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family.” And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.” Acceptance from those who you have been raised up with is not a guaranteed. I know many whose heart are weakened and broken because they seek for acceptance from their church or their family from what God has put on their heart. The Son of the Most High God was rejected from his home town, so how much more will this happened to those who Follow God’s Plan. Never Lose Faith and know that there is still the work of the Lord to be done in every nation. Do not let the rejection of others lead you to give up on Gods plan for you!

“Power of Agreement!”
“When the seventy-two disciples returned, they joyfully reported to him, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!”(Luke 10:17)
.
When Jesus Sent out the disciples, he gave them several commands. One was that they were not to bring any money, another was that they were to only go into homes they were welcome and another was to go in pairs. Now we know the Word speaks that where there are 2 or more gather, the Spirit of the Lord will be there. We must understand the power of agreement is one of the greatest forces we have on this earth. We men came together and agreed to build the tower of Babel, God quickly acted with giving them different languages. The reason why God did this is because by His own Words He said if we could as one people do anything we put our minds too.
.
 “Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!” We must be awakened to the power of God. For many of us, it is going to take a rethinking and understanding who He has created us to be. God has given us authority and anointing to overcome all things. The power of agreement that you have with someone else is so great, there is literally nothing that we cannot do. If you don’t have a prayer partner, or someone in your life to come in agreement with today, please let that be your goal. We are all in this fight together and God has called for fellowship not for entertain, but for warfare. Get the greater picture before you. All things are possible where the Spirit of the Lord dwells.

“The Last Hour!”

“Peter and John went to the Temple one afternoon to take part in the three o’clock prayer service. As they approached the Temple , a man lame from birth was being carried in. Each day he was put beside the Temple gate, the one called the Beautiful Gate, so he could beg from the people going into the Temple . When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for some money. Peter and John looked at him intently, and Peter said, “Look at us!” The lame man looked at them eagerly, expecting a gift. But Peter said, “I don’t have any money for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!” Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up. And as he did, the man’s feet and anklebones were healed and strengthened. He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping, and praising God, he went into the Temple with them.” (Acts 3:1-8 NLT)

“But Peter said, “I don’t have any money for you. But I’ll give you what I have.” Beloved, as I write this today, I pray for the deep insight and discernment of the Lord to be renewed within you today. For the Lord has a mighty Word to share today and all those for shall hear it, will receive the Healing revelation that it brings forth. “I don’t have any money for you, but what I’ll give you what I have.” How many of us today are in need of money?  If I were to take a vote, I would say all of us need money in one area or another. Even those who are well off, if they were to lose their Job, they would be in need. As in this case, there was a crippled man by the gate Called Beautiful, who begged everyday to receive money to eat. Now understand, he sat by the most beautiful entrance into God’s temple to beg for money, why everyone went in to worship. As I was reading over this verse, God spoke to my heart and asked me how many people today who sat at watch the Glory of the Lord or asking for the same thing? How many come nightly to the Lord asking for money, when the Lord wants to heal them.
The Crippled man was asking for money, what did Peter give him? How many of us today see money as the root of all problems? There are many of Us today who when ask for Prayer, will say that you are in need of a financial miracle when you have the threat of cancer or sickness and disease upon you. In Jesus Name, receive the Healing Power of the Lord! Believe, Believe, Believe! God wants to Heal you of your sickness. How many days did the Cripple have to go to the temples gates and beg? How many days will those who are suffering from the attack of the enemy ask for a financial breakthrough, when the devil at every moment is trying to your life away. Wake up! The Joy and Victory is here! Jesus Died to give us life, will you receive it in this hour! Instead of the Financial Blessing, Pray and Receive what God has truly waiting for you.
“But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!” There is Power in the Name of Jesus! Glory to the Lord, Glory to the Lord! In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth , Be Healed! Beloved, it is not the financial miracle you need in this hour; it is the Healing Power of our Lord and Savior. !” Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up. And as he did, the man’s feet and anklebones were healed and strengthened. He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping, and praising God, he went into the Temple with them.” Are you ready enter into what God has for you? Then take hold of the Healing in Jesus Name and get up and start walking into the Destiny God has called you to.

 “Through All Trails!”
.
“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us-they help us learn to endure. And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation. And this expectation will not disappoint us. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” (Roman 5:3-5)
.
“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us-they help us learn to endure.” I, like many people, come against many obstacles in this life. I used to get frustrated at the situation and it seemed like when I would conquer one trail then another would be placed right in front of me. But through every situation, there was a lesson to be learned, for trails help us endure and not only that, we are called to rejoice! This may sound foreign to most people, but God calls us to praise him through the storm! The reason why we do this is to build who we are in Christ, “And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation.” It is through trails that we are not weakened, but strengthen in the Lord and brought even closer to our salvation in Christ. For trails and tribulations aren’t meant to break you down; it is an opportunity for us to rejoice and praise God who delivering us!
.
“For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love.” We are never alone in this battle. The Holy Spirit was promised to us from Jesus as one who would be with us always. I know sometimes we feel alone in this fight and we are suffering from day to day, but take heart! Seek The Holy Spirit to fill your heart with love, because when you have Love, you understand how much God really does cares for you through all trails and tribulations/
