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.
Steady me Father. Less of me and more of you. I can't finish this without you. I thank you that you hear me when I call on you.
Your faith will pull victory from the spiritual realm into the natural realm every time...Stay Encouraged!
God Foreknew Our Needs, It's Why He sent THE Word (Jesus) in Flesh form
Joshua 1:9-Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee wherever you go.
(John 15:18, 2 Corinthians 4:17-18)
1 Corinthians 10:31-33
31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do ALL to the Glory of God. 32 Give none offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: 33 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. (Hebrews 4:12)
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of satan to bother me, lest I should be exalted above measure. (Philippians 4:11)
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice (3 times), that it might depart from me.
(Psalms 23:4)
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (Matthew 5:44)
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. (Romans 4:16-22)
Jesus is Lord of all! Feeling mighty grateful this morning. I find that since the doors of the church buildings closed, my relationship with God is from my heart, I can't imagine going a day without talking to Him and being in His presence. I hang on His every Word, I want to know what He says about a thing. My gratefulness overflows, who am I, with all my mistakes, failures, and imperfections that He would be mindful of me?
He is my Father. I am His daughter. Even when I have left Him in times past-He has never left me. I had a flashback of my life...it allowed me to see clearly-the battle for my soul, the faithful and mighty hand of God, the abundance of grace and favor that God gives the just and unjust. I see how He has been gently guiding my paths, exposing me while protecting me, allowing me to fail, allowing me to succeed. After every fall, I can see where my good, good Father revealed the snare and strengthened me in that area. He had already laid the path I had to take to be passionate and unmovable in my purpose. Yes, the good, the bad and the ugly. He foreknew it all. He knew my spirit would be conflicted, He knew I would return to Him, sorrowful and in the Spirit of Repentance to return to those things no more. Now, I see the purpose that has been cultivated through many years, it goes so far beyond me. God is still saying to the many types of Pharaohs of today, Let my people go! They sought me-I have thrown all you speak of into the sea of forgetfulness and placed a hedge around them, for My Name Sake. I am overwhelmed by the all encompassing Love of God saints. Be silent in the presence of the Lord. The Blood of Jesus is speaking.
