Battle Ready

A couple weeks ago I was brought to a very important decision. Was I to cripple back in ubelief or take out my sword and fight? I was overwhelmed. My heart was drenched in the heaviness I used to feel with depression. I knew I AM HEALED. I have not dealt with this in like three years! Why was I dealing with this now?

Until these past couple days I had no idea WHY depression was trying to creep back in my life. But, with snot coming out of my nose from crying, burning eyes, and extreme fatigue, I began to call out to God. The spirit would speak for me as I laid down whatever was trying to bring me back to the place I have been freed from. It felt real. I knew it was real. BUT, I knew my God has the final say and there is nothing that does not have to BOW DOWN to the blood of Jesus.

I have not written in a while. I always say that God is preparing me in those seasons that seem so dry. But really, he took the pen.

As I called upon the Lord, the Holy Spirit brought to my rememberance what he has written already on my heart. By Jesus’ wound I am HEALED. No weapon formed against me shall prosper! I have authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and the devil himself cannot hurt me. God you are near to the brokenhearted. My mind is at perfect peace when I am transfixed on you. God you do not give me a spirit of fear or timidy but of power love and a sound mind. The devil MUST flee when I resist him. I have the sword of the spirit! I am on the winning side!!!!

You see, I rebuked the Spirit of Depression. I rebuked the Spirit of Anxiety. I rebuked the Spirit of PTSD and I rebuked the Spirit of Bipolar Disorder. I know that I am healed. But, Holy Spirit said “Now is the time to FIGHT”. So with the help of him I pulled out my sword and it was war!!! I began declaring God’s Word over and over and over and the devil finally fled as I resisted his lies.

Little did I know what was coming the week after…

Blessing on blessing on blessing.

IT IS HARVEST TIME.

When we are facing trials and tribulations, the devil’s pattern seems to be the same. To try to deceive us and bring us back to where we used to be. But our SWORD and the AUTHROITY God has given us through the HOLY SPIRIT is so much greater than anything we will have to face. Another pattern that has been brought to my attention is that when there is about to be a BREAKTHROUGH, he attacks. Sometimes he even attacks after. Which is why it is of GREAT importance to always have your sword ready!!

When we face times where we are being attacked over and over, what we fed ourselves is bound to come out. I cannot put enough emphasis on fellowship with God through prayer and his word and fellowship and communion with the saints. We are to be battle ready at all times. This is a war we are in!

When you are hard pressed on every side, what comes out? Will you choose fear or faith?

God is so graceful and such an amazing helper that there is no shame if we need help with this. He said those who humble themselves shall be exalted and that he meets us in our weakness with his strength. If you need help in this arena (which I think we all can grow deeper in these areas) call upon his name. He is ready for you!

We do not shrink back, but press into his presence. We take out our sword and every deception that darkness tries to bring MUST bow!

Shaking The Foundation of Hell

Paul and Silas, undaunted, prayed in the middle of the night and sang songs of praise to God, while all the other prisoners listened to their worship. Suddenly, a great earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. All at once every prison door flung open and the chains of all the prisoners came loose.
Acts 16:25‭-‬26 TPT

There are three things I briefly want to touch on in these 2 verses.

One being, there were people surrounding Paul & Silas who were listening to their prayers and praises to God.

The second thing is that even in the midst of being “chained down” and imprisoned, they still praised God for how good he is.

The third being, because of the power of their praise and prayer, it set other people who were bound down free. Their praise shook the very foundation where they were held captive and bound down.

In conclusion, the very words we speak to the father and the praises that come put of our mouth are powerful and yes, people are listening. They may not say they are, but people’s true desire in their heart is the love of Jesus. No matter the circumstance, even if we feel bound, we should be inclined to have communion with Abba and praise him. He never changes and his love endures. Therefore, our praise should be endless too. Our praise can be the very thing that not only sets us free but shakes the foundations of hell (prison one is entrapped in) and sets other people free around us too.

At first glance, you see that Paul and Silas prayer & praise set them free. Yet, in reality, it shook the foundation that kept them and others captive. Their prayer and praise broke the chains that bound them down and set them free into what God had called them to do.

My encouragment to you this morning is, in every circumstance pray and praise. God hears every word you speak and your praise to the father loosens things that have tried to keep you bound! Not only that, but people are watching. Do not be a people pleaser, but a God pleaser. My prayer is that our prayer and praise is so contagious is free’s others just as Paul and Silas.

The words you speak, the prayers you give unto the father, and the praise you bring are all contagious and have the power to shake the foundations of hell. God has given you to the power to praise and pray in every circumstance. Even when you are not sure what to say, the spirit will speak for you. When you feel weary, he will give you strength. When you feel bound, he sets you free. When you feel like you are just surviving, he brings you to a place of living abundantly!

There is nothing he won’t do for us.

In every circumstance pray and praise. You never know what new freedom is awaiting you or the freedom it may bring to who you are surrounded by. There is nothing God won’t do. Hell cannot stand a chance. The victory is already won. For the power, the glory, are yours Lord forever and ever. Amen!

Scripture for Meditation & Application

I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Psalms 34:1 NKJV

Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
Psalms 47:1 NKJV

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Romans 8:26 NKJV

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28 NKJV

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:31‭-‬39 NKJV

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 minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6‭-‬7 NKJV

Friendly Reminder For Those Who Are Having A Rough Day

With God, I am doing things I never thought I would be able to do. This IS NOT a list of my accomplishments, but a reminder that truly anything is possible with God. Even things that aren’t possible with man, God’s like no problem. Without God, I wouldn’t be alive today. & I definitely wouldn’t of been able to make it through that 5k this past weekend. (HAHAHA!)

Alright, alright, let’s be serious here…

But as I go through different stages of my life one thing remains the same.

God.

God’s faithfulness, his steadfast love & his word, the promises I hold so dearly to my heart.

So even if my world is completely flipped upside down, God already has a plan in motion for that.

If I make a mistake, God says I already have that worked out for the good of everyone. No worries.

If I need forgiveness, Jesus died for that.

If I need healing, Jesus said that was finished on the cross too.

If I am worried, God says he didn’t give me a spirit of fear or timidity, but of power love and a sound mind.

If I don’t feel loved, he brings me back to who he is. He is love. He brings me to a place of remembering where I was to, to where I am today. When I was broken and lost, suicidal and drowning in addiction and bondage to now walking in freedom, finally whole and exactly where I need to be. Living with purpose. All because of him and his love. He points me to look at Jesus. Our perfect example of faith and love. He points out to me that if I look around, his fingerprints of his love and faithfulness are everywhere. (even if people don’t give him the glory, doesn’t mean he didn’t do it)

If I feel like I need more, he says seek me and I will pour out upon you.

God is everything we need. He is everything I need every single moment of everyday. Every single breath I take, I need him.

His word, his presence, and who he is, brings us abundant peace.

Don’t get caught up with what the world is saying or doing, keep your eyes focused on heavenly realities. What others say about you don’t matter, God knows your heart.

I can go on for hours and hours about his promises. But sometimes, just like today, I needed a friendly reminder so maybe so do you.

Let go, let God.
Trust in his plan even if you can’t see it.

Take every thought captive that isn’t of him and toss it in hell where it belongs.

&

Remember that no matter what you are going through or facing, God has a plan that is perfect. & EVERYTHING is possible for the one who just simply BELIEVES.

Looking Back On 2017: WOW!!!

I have had a goal for the past 4 years and it was to get to know God and put him first. I can finally say, in 2017 it has been accomplished. This past year, as it comes to end has shown me who I am in Christ. Nothing is more powerful than knowing your identity in Christ. When I faced trials and tribulations, the more I knew my Papa and declared his promises, the better off I was! I knew throughout 2017:

  • “We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.”-Romans 8:28 CSB
  • Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable — if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy — dwell on these things. Do what you have learned and received and heard from me, and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you.-Philippians 4:6‭-‬9 CSB
  • Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another. No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God remains in us and his love is made complete in us. This is how we know that we remain in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent his Son as the world’s Savior. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God — God remains in him and he in God. And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.-1 John 4:10‭-‬16 CSB
  • We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, “I love God,” and yet hates his brother or sister, he is a liar. For the person who does not love his brother or sister whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And we have this command from him: The one who loves God must also love his brother and sister.-1 John 4:19‭-‬21 CSB

Those are just some of God’s promises that got me through. God has inspired me to write not only this blog, but I am working on a book. He gave me my amazing husband this past year and I got a beautiful puppy this CHRISTmas! God has provided abundantly in my finances and has healed me of Bipolar Disorder. (You can check out the links below to see more on mental health) I’ve saw people find God that I prayed for and other miracles happen before my eyes! The list goes on of how God has blessed me this year.

As this year approaches I want to encourage you to keep a prayer journal to show what Abba has brought you to and through. I also remind you that “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”-Romans 8:37‭-‬39 CSB

If we put God at the throne of our hearts where he belongs you will watch 2018 be one of the best years of your life! I’m telling you this from my experience!

Did you reach any of your goals in 2017? What are some in 2018?

Thankyou to all those who have supported me through this blog. May God bless you abundantly in this next year to come. My hope is for you to grow into a deeper & more intimate relationship this year with Abba. That you always keep him on the throne of your heart. I pray he gives you a boldness to show people who may not know him, what pure love really looks like by showing Christ’s example. I pray you hold onto your lifelines of your relationship with God: his word, prayer, and a church family who loves God, who pushes you to know him more!

Here’s to 2018!
