We serve a MIGHTY good God! When we are weak HE IS strong. I'm a living witness.
Saints-There is a spirit of desperation that has been activated in the earth, on a different level. This means we must take what we have learned and go to the next level in God. Keep your eyes to the hills from where your help comes. (Psalms 121-Proverbs 3:5-15). Peace be still, In the name of Jesus. (The spirit of desperation is a dangerous and crafty spirit which brings many other spirits of darkness with it "Legion"-(Mark 5), that causes us to lean to our own understanding and employ our own strategies, gossiping, judgment, etc.
In this season, more than ever, OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE. In my walk with the Lord, I have come to realize that sometimes God doesn't require us to "go through" the storm-HE WILL "carry us over the storm". Whatever YOUR situation is TODAY, seek the Lord's instruction FOR YOU.
*Exodus 14:13=And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.
*Psalms 46:10-Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
*Matthew 4 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. (COVID-19 is a wilderness-God has not sent it but HE WILL use it for HIS GLORY-Gen. 50:20, Psalms 91)
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungered. (the devil thought Jesus (God in Flesh form) was desperate, since His flesh was weakened) Jesus spoke THE WORD in faith, "knowing" that THE WORD OF GOD (our words are of no effect) can not return void (Isaiah 55:11) and the devil fled, as it is written!
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by "every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God"
(James 4:2-3-You crave what you do not have; you kill and covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask. And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures.-Matthew 17:20-Jesus said, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”)
5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
(Trying to "prove ourselves" to people who's only goal is to "destroy you, your reputation" no matter what you do- If you have walked among them and allowed "the evidence of God's grace in your life" to be "revealed to them"-It is no longer you that they challenge, It is God Himself. God does command us to come out from among them.) 2 Corinthians 6:17, Romans 12:19, Matthew 10:12-15, Psalms 37:12-16)
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil took him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. (1 John 2;16-For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world., Matthew 6;33-But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.)
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil left him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
(James 4:6-10- But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.)
FOOD FOR THOUGHT (We all have fallen short-Revelations 3)
Isaiah 55:8-“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD", 1 Corinthians 2:9-14-Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”
But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of man except his own spirit within him? So too, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned., John 10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 2 Timothy 2:15-Study to shew thyself approved "unto God", a workman that "need not to be ashamed", "rightly dividing the word of truth".
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened
in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you,
the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people Amen.
