Are You Ready For The Truth?

Jun30

There are so many Christians, true followers of Christ our Lord and Savior, that feel lost. They have been bombarded with false doctrine and don’t even realize it. They have prayed, fasted and done all they could for their breakthroughs, yet nothing seems to change.

Today’s word is one of warning and truth. It’s being written with love for all those who have suffered greatly and have not seen the miracles they desperately need.

Right now on the world stage, God is bringing truth and light out of the darkness. You’re seeing pastors being arrested for sexual abuse. You’re seeing satanic symbols in church buildings. Sunday mornings have become more of a theater & lighting show than gospel being spoke. You’re hearing of satanic worship that goes beyond any comprehension. And yes, unfortunately we’re hearing that some pastors, actors, singers, politicians and media are a part of it. I can tell you that I’ve been shocked as things are being exposed. Once your eyes are opened, you start picking up all the signs that have been there all along. It’s quite disheartening. Then you start hearing bits and pieces about the clergy response teams and what that truly entails. There is so much we simply haven’t known and now it’s being brought to the center stage. This isn’t an easy word to write because we’ve been deceived for so long and it is imperative that Christians wake up, repent and turn back to the One True God.

For years Christians have been going to church, tithing and asking for prayer only to find themselves broke, busted and disgusted. They believe God’s Word and wholeheartedly have done all the right things they’ve been taught. They’ve gone to church, been faithful in their giving but all they see is deeper debt while the megachurch pastors are living extravagant lifestyles. Something is amiss here when wealthy pastors aren’t willing to even give food to those in need unless they fill out massive paperwork and get the pastor’s authorization. This completely misses the mark.

Does God want us prosperous? Absolutely! There’s nothing wrong with that. However, we are to be prosperous so we can help others. Period! Did Jesus ask for a tithe to heal? Did Jesus ask how much you can pay for a breakthrough? NO! Jesus just wanted to know if you believed in Him and that He could do all that you’ve asked.

I truly believe we are in the beginning stages of home congregations where real believers in Christ will come together, pray together, help one another and truly be there for each other. If one person is having a tough time, then all those in the home group gather to help. That is the real meaning of worship. It’s not a building, it’s not a rock star lifestyle…it’s a love for one another, lending a helping hand while worshiping and giving thanks to the Lord. It’s the people that make a “church” not a building!

God is starting to reveal many things about those in high positions, those in religious settings and the truth that will set us free. It will be our choice to either listen or turn a blind eye to it. There are going to be some very difficult things shown to us that I believe will rock us deeply. Will we be ready for God’s truth? Are we willing to let go of what we think or have been taught in order to follow the real truth.

God’s heart is for all to be saved. Unfortunately there will be many who will not want to let go of their current lifestyle, repent and turn back to the One True God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. Will you be willing?

This is a very deep conversation with many more aspects to be revealed as God sheds light on them. We don’t need to be afraid. God is in control and He’ll continue protecting, loving and guiding us. However we truly need to be ready for what will be exposed and know the true gospel without all the hype.

It’s happening quickly and seems to be accelerating. For those of us who love the Lord and want to do His will for our lives…we need to be ready to help others understand when it hits hard. God has had enough and He’s exposing much. People are going to be devastated as they come to realize that those they trusted the most have actually betrayed and done despicable things in order to keep their money & status. It will be hard to swallow and we’re already seeing people run away from the “church”. The hurt and confusion is real. None of this has ever been exposed before and our eyes are being opened. This is world wide so all of us need to ban together, love one another and be ready to love those who start seeing the truth revealed.

Please don’t take our word for it. Pray and do your own research. We are living in very exciting yet disturbing times. God is doing a massive awakening around the world.

Take time to reflect what Jesus really accomplished with His ministry, death and resurrection. It is because of Him we are called brothers and sisters; children of the Most High God. Be loving, pray as a family and give thanks for HIM. We all have an amazing destiny that is ready to be birthed.

May God fill you with the peace that surpasses all understanding.

The Pain of Stress and Worry

Jun24

Many of us struggle with stress and worry.  With all the “What Ifs” in life and all; life can be overwhelming at times.

  • Maybe your child is heading in the wrong direction.
  • Maybe you received a bad report from your doctor.
  • Maybe you are having financial problems.
  • Maybe you have too many things to accomplish and not enough time.
  • Maybe you have experienced a major change in your life recently.
  • Maybe your in a difficult relationship.

Whatever the case may be, worry and stress are very destructive.  When we over analyze or over think things, we become consumed by them.  Your daily life becomes “one-way” thinking, so to speak.  You eat, drink and live that particular situation until you simply can’t function correctly and you become irrational. That is a sure fire way for the devil to create chaos in your life.  He loves when you become “stressed out” or “too concerned” about something because he will take advantage of that very situation and make it worse than ever before.

John 10:10 tells us “the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy…”

So, as you can imagine, the devil loves when we give him an opportunity to mess with our lives.  Stress and worry is one such way.  When we stress and worry, we tend to react too quickly and without analyzing the consequences of those actions.  The devil can use that against us.  He may tell you to go one way, when in all reality, you should have went the opposite direction.  That’s his style, taking advantage of anything he can and making life a living hell during the process.  So, what can we do about it?

Well, Jesus understood how destructive stress and worry could be.  He knew that we would be setting ourselves up for physical illnesses if we allowed these destructive emotions to rule our lives.  They can easily develop into migraines, pains in your body, difficulty in sleeping, digestive problems, obesity and even heart disease.  These are all very good reasons to take Jesus’ advice in this matter.  He specifically tells us not to worry, but instead, He says to look to God’s unfailing love and provision.  Bottom line, TRUST IN HIM!

The goal is to overcome the issue.  By putting God’s word into practice; you will become victorious over stress and worry.  It helps us to keep our focus on Jesus, no matter how we feel.  This in turn, allows Him to take care of the situation for us.  For He knows what the best outcome is, so why don’t you allow Him to be your healer, provider and protector.  Simply put…Whatever you need…HE IS!

The best way to use scripture is to have them handy.  Every time you become worried or feeling a little anxious, stop what you are doing, and state the scripture.  What this does is help you align yourself with God’s word and keep your focus on Jesus at all times.  This releases the pressure of stress and worry because no matter what, Jesus has got you covered.  He knows that it may feel like a setback to you, but in all reality, it is a setup for something greater.  Repeat after me…”God is handling all of my problems today and does not need my help.”  So, relax and have a Great Day!

KEY SCRIPTURES TO OVERCOMING STRESS AND WORRY

Matthew 6:25-27  “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.  Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?  Look at the birds of the air, that they do now sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not worth much more than they?  And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?”

Matthew 11:28-30  “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

John 14:27  “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.”

1 Corinthians 7:32  “But I want you to be free from concern…”

Proverbs 12:25  “Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, But a good word makes it glad.”

Philippians 4:6-7  “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

1 Peter 5:6-8  “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.  Be of sober spirit, be on the alert.  Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”

You Are More Than A Conqueror

Jun23

Jesus shed His blood in seven different places to break every curse and redeem us to every blessing His blood activates. It is a time to remember exactly what Jesus did for each and every one of us. He paid the ultimate sacrifice. He broke every curse. He broke every addiction. He gave us dominion and authority.

  1. In the Garden of Gesthemane: He bought back our willpower and to redeem our will. (Matthew 26:39)
  2. At the Whipping Post: By His stripes we are healed. Every curse of sickness and disease was broken. (1Peter 2:24)
  3. Crown of Thorns: To break the curse of poverty. (Genesis 3:17-18)
  4. In His hands: To restore dominion to the works of our hands. (Deut. 28:12-13)
  5. In His feet: To give us authority everywhere we walk. (Joshua 1:3)
  6. In His side: His was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities and heals our broken hearts. (Luke 4:18)
  7. He stomped on the devil’s forehead and bruised His heel to break every family and generational curse. (Isaiah 53:5)

Take back your God-given blessings that Jesus gave you. When He said “IT IS FINISHED”, he didn’t mean it would be a hit or miss, pie-in-the-sky kind of faith. He returned us to the Father who is there for us every single moment of every day. He gave us everything we needed to make it through any trial, any difficulty, and any situation that comes against us that is contrary to the Word of God!

Take your stand against the enemy. You are more than conqueror through the Blood of Jesus. You are the head and not the tail, above and not below, you are the lender not the borrower. Take back what the devil has stolen and remind him that Jesus’ blood gives you complete victory.

Don’t let another day go by without thanking Jesus for His sacrifice and for the heavenly blessings He has bestowed towards you. Return unto Him and he’ll return unto you. Give and it shall be given to you. Know the seven places Jesus shed His blood and understand why God’s Word is Final! It is because of Jesus that you will have favor with Him and with man. Praise His Name above all others and watch the amazing blessings burst forth into your life.

Today is a new day. Activate the 7 places Jesus shed His blood and He will bring favor upon you. Let God stand in front of you and your family to make every curse pass over your home, business, health, family, and finances. Almighty God will open the windows of Heaven over you and your family which will release the blessings that Jesus’ blood provides. You are more than a conqueror through the Blood of Jesus Christ and today, your life will never be the same. Rejoice for the Lord is good – Your Victory Is At Hand!

Ha, You Can’t Touch Me

Jun8

Fear - Woman on ChairFear is so prevalent in our world today.

  • The fear of sickness.
  • The fear of someone not liking you.
  • The fear of losing your job.
  • The fear of the unknown.
  • The fear of “what ifs”.
  • The fear of not having enough.
  • Fear of war, diseases and the economy.

There are millions of things you could fear. But, did you know that fear is the devil’s way of keeping you in bondage? When we allow fear into our lives, it can birth into other nasty emotions, such as anger, worry, stress, depression, and discouragement.

We all have moments of fear or doubt. We all face challenges and difficult times. When fear takes grip in your life, you’ll find that you stop doing things you’ve always loved to do. You’ll stop functioning. You’ll stop being the very person you are meant to be. You simply stop living life.

Proverbs 29:25 says: “The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever leans on, trusts in, and puts his confidence in the Lord is safe and set on high.”

God is telling us to lean and trust in Him because we are safe. It doesn’t take a lot of faith or constant prayer. You can simply tell God about the things you are fearing and let them go. Fight the good fight of faith. Boldly declare…IT IS WRITTEN: “greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world”. (1 John 4:4)

God has legions of angels working on your behalf, every moment of every day! AND…He has the most amazing plan for your life that will be bigger and greater than you could ever imagine.

WINNERYou have your provision.
You have your protection.
You have your healing.
You have every single thing you need because God will provide it!

So, relax today and tell the devil…HE CAN’T TOUCH YOU! There is absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing, that the devil can throw at you that God doesn’t already have the answer.

You serve an ALL POWERFUL, ALL KNOWING, ALL LOVING GOD that will never let you down! THE VICTORY IS ALREADY YOURS! YOU TRULY HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR!
