Good Morning:
Continue to give thanks unto the Lord, for He is great and great are His works. There's a author out with a book entitled "God is not Great....How religion poisons everything". Boy, do we need to get on the good foot. The enemy is getting bolder because he knows that His time is running out. Just want to let you know that I will be putting some of my old writings on the blog. If some had touched your spirit in the past, then they will be on the blog for you to refer back to. Here's one now...................
Repeat After me and say it with attitude:
My life just keeps getting better and better. Blessing are over taking me more and more. My bills are paid, and my body is healed. And the best is yet to come.
Take it by force, and sometimes we just have to get an attitude with the devil, and let him know that he is the defeated foe and he will rule NO MORE in our lives. There was a Word of God that was preached talking about putting on the whole armor of God. We are in a war zone, and we go out onto the battle without our armor on each day (I too was guilty, but no more). This is why the devil is able to attach us as he does. Put on the helmet of His Salvation for you have been saved because you confessed and believed in your heart that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, and He is now seated at the right hand of the Father ever making intercession for you; put on the breast plate of righteousness for you are the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus; knowing that God's Word is the only truth that's in your life, and you gird the loins of your soul, heart and spirit with God's Truth; having your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; having the shield of faith that quenches every fiery dart of the enemy; and having the Sword of the Spirit which is God's Word - welding that mighty Sword (Word) every time the enemy says something contrary to what God's Word says that you are, what you can have, and you can do.
When we don't have the armor of the Lord everyday, we get hit by the enemy even to point of giving up (death). YOU HAVE NO ARMOR ON TO PROTECT YOU!!!! And you wonder why things are going on in your life. It's because there's no shield to hide behind or a sword to defend yourself with. Put on your armor EVERYDAY!
Have you put on your armor today????

Calling Things to be Not as Though They Are
Praise the Lord:
I want to encourage you today to continue to fight the good fight of faith. No matter how the storm(s) rage around you, continue to stand on the Word of the Lord. He is faithful that promises, and He is no respecters of person - meaning if He did for one He can and will do it for you. We have really got to get on the good foot here. If we don't, we will be defeated when we're suppose to be victorious. For far to long, we have been saying things that are contrary to what the Word of God says. Yes it might "look like" it's going on, but that's not what the Word of God says. We can call those things to be not as though they are. My daughter is only 4 months old, and I pray that she is an obedient and respectful child. I have learn to confess things that I want to be in my life. I pray that as for me and my household we will serve the Lord; if one in the household be saved, then rest can be saved. We can stand up against the enemy and win. Don't say that you can't make it. Don't say that you are going under. Don't say 'I'm so broke'. Remember that your words have life, and that the Word tells us that we shall have what we say. If you say things that are good, then you will have those good things. If you say things contrary to the Word of God, then you will have those things. Just as God spoke the Words "Light be", light came. We have that same that same authority to speak things in our lives and for them to come forth. I do believe that we will get to a place where we will be able to speak things and see them manifested quickly in the land of the living. But I think we have to truly settle it that God can and will do it for us. We have to get to a place where we are fully persuaded that He is who His Word says that He is, and that He can do those things His Word says He can do. Get in God's Word and see Him show up and show out on your behalf.

Worry about Nothing, Instead Pray about Everything
Hello:
I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. I thank God that He never leaves me nor forsakes; He's with me everywhere that I go. Friends and family members come and go, but He is always with me. I am never alone because I know the Lord Jesus, and He lives in me. Philipians 4:6 states for us not to worry about anything, but to pray about everything. When trials and tribulations come your way, who do you turn to first? Is it the loan company, a friend or family or do you seek the Lord? Do you pray first or do you go to someone else to pray for your thing for you? Does He not supply your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Is He not your only source? I think we at times allow the things that go on around us create a panic because we are not rooted and grounded in the Word of God as well as we think we are. I also think that we don't confess the Word over our lives and situations as often as we should. We turn to the Word of God when all else has failed, when we should turn to Him when the situation arises or even before then. We should be binding up things that are not of God everyday, even if that thing isn't going on at present. I bind up strife in my house and loose love, joy, peace and patience. I bind up accidents freak and alike within a 100 mile radius of my family's comings and goings, and loose God's protection. The Word of God tells us that whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever we loose on earth is loose in heaven. We have authority over Satan and all his cohorts (demons & evil spirits). If you are worried about your child getting in to trouble at home and/or at school, you have authority to bind up disobedience and loose obedience in your child's life. If your husband isn't acting right, the Word of God tells me that the heart of the king (your husband) is in the hand of the Lord, and He can turn as He wants. The Word also says that the husband is to dwell with his wife according to knowledge. You can pray that your husband dwells with you according to knowledge - that your husband knows you and those things that you don't like he'll not do. Now, we women are to dwell with our husbands as well according to knowledge. This is why I will continue to tell you to read and study the Word of God. Get it rooted and grounded in your spirit. So don't let the enemy workup worry in you; instead, pray about those things that concern you. Even the smallest thing that is important you is important to God. He desires to see you happy in every area of your life. So begin to pray about things, bind those things up that you don't want in your life, in your child's life. Begin to take authority that is yours as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus..

Letting Go of the Past
Good Morning:
I just want to say that I am victorious in God through Christ Jesus, and the devil a liar and a defeated foe. Ok, have you ever ministered to someone about Jesus, and they say 'Well, when I get things right in my life, I will come on into the church.....' I have heard this so many times. And what they fail to understand it that it is not up to us to get ourself right before we come into church. God will do the work in you. And no "Poof" or "Presto" and everything that was bad in your life goes away. Salvation is a process. When you and God get one thing in your life on track, trust me, He will start on another area in your life. And just because you still have some things that you are dealing with that are not God like, He still loves you. Aren't you glad that you have "right standing" with God - because you have been made the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus. You can now go boldly into the throne room of the Most High God and make your request known unto Him- you can ask Him for forgiveness. I have to have these visit with the Lord daily. And I will continually have to have these visits with Him as long as I'm on this earth. But you know what, God loves when we come talk to Him even if it's something we need to get out of our lives. As a matter of fact, that is exactly what He wants us to do. He wants, can and will help us with those areas of our lives that are not pleasing to Him. He loves us that much. He loves us unconditionally. But His Word says that those He loves He will discipline too (Prov 3:12). God wants us to get it right. He doesn't want us to continue to make the same mistakes over and over again. We as children of God are not perfect, but we do not habitually sin either. To those who know to do right and does it not sin against God and Him alone. Just as you wouldn't want your child(ren) to curse (I pray you are correcting if they should), you correct or you discipline them for doing something bad. And what God does is that He takes His hands off of us. God can not look upon our sin. This is why it is so important that we repent daily. I've been in a place where the Lord did not have His hand of protection upon me, and trust me you do not want to go there. Remember, repenting is part of that fellowship God wants so badly to have with each and everyone of us.
Remember to watch what you are saying concerning your situation. Your words have power to kill or give life to your situation. Begin to say what God's Word says concerning your situation, and not what you see, hear or feel.
