Love Is Merciful And Forgives

by Hazel Straub

The love of God is expressed by his giving his Son Christ Jesus, to die in our place. We receive God’s forgiveness through Jesus’ sacrifice. As we receive, so we give forgiveness to others who offend us.

Love shows mercy and covers other’s sinning against us. We receive love and give it without measure because we have received love.

Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses of others]. (1 Peter 4:8 AMPC)

New Realms Of Faith, Glory, Worship

‌by Apostle Gabriel Cross

I’m stirring the giftings and graces, of the Holy Spirit, in you. I’m calling you. I’m placing you, where no flesh can hinder you. I’m crowning you with breakthrough, deliverance, and glory, which are all a part of my love. That which has held you back, discouraged you, designed to bury you and snuff you out, is only going to propel you and impel you into greater glory, greater power, and greater authority.

Look up, look up to me, and all my glory! I have not forgotten you, nor will I forget you. I will cause you to rise, with new wings of faith. I will cause you to soar, in greater depths of my love.

Those things that you have put before me, held as sacred, and used with pride, lay them down. Every idol, every way of idolatry, every false way, every striving way of the flesh.

I am here to comfort you. I am here to heal you. I am here to restore all that you’ve lost and all that you think you’ve lost. It is my desire to crown you with glory. Be free from yourself. Be free from your fears. Be free from your own routine of worship, and worship me with a new heart, and a new desire. I desire your worship, I desire you.

I dismantle you from the old and mantle you with the new. I am all that I said, I am and I will be all that you need me to be and so much more. New freedom, new freedom, new freedom, new freedom. Higher realms, higher realms, higher realms, access granted. I release you in your spirit, your soul, your body, your family, your relations.

Spirit Of God Gives Life!


by Hazel Straub

The Spirit of God gives us life. Human effort cannot give eternal life. The words of Jesus breathes Spirit and life to our innermost being, when we receive them.

Jesus said: “It is the Spirit Who gives life [He is the Life-giver]; the flesh conveys no benefit whatever [there is no profit in it]. The words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life.” (John 6:63 AMPC)

The Key To Transform Your Life

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Don’t stop trying, because your trying will be transfigured, into accomplishment. Don’t stop believing God, because your believing will develop into fulfillment. And whatever you do, don’t stop worshiping God, because your worship, (like King David), will transform your life, city, and nation.

The enemy wants you to stop. However, God wants you to know that he sees the end, the final results, and the outcome of your situation, AND IT IS GOOD AND VERY GOOD, just don’t stop.

Speak Life To The Dry Bones!


by Hazel Straub

God created us in his image. He spoke the world into existence. With our tongue we speak life or death and create our world . God brought Ezekiel to a valley filled with dry bones. God told him to prophesy to the bones and they would come to life. Ezekiel spoke as the Lord told him to and the bones became a great army. In the same way, we can speak to the parts of us that are dead and dry and they will come to life once again. Speak life to the dead promises in your life and see them come to life. Jesus came to give us abundant life. Agree and speak abundant overflowing life to those dead places and watch them come to vibrant life!

So God created human beings in his own image.
In the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27 NLT)

Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’” (Ezekiel 37:4-6 NLT)

God Is Still God!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Even when your heart is hurting, God is still healing you. Even when you’re still struggling, God is still delivering you. Even when you’re needing funds, God is still financially increasing you. Even when you’re lacking character, God is still maturing you. After and before anything and everyone, GOD is STILL GOD…

God’s Grace

by Hazel Straub

The grace of God causes us to trust in Jesus, for our salvation (welfare, prosperity, deliverance, preservation, safety; saved or rescued and delivered from destruction by God). Salvation is a gift from God and we cannot perform or be good enough to earn it. God gives it to us, freely! We have a new identity through Jesus the Christ-the Anointed One living inside of us.

For it was only through this wonderful grace that we believed in him. Nothing we did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the gracious gift from God that brought us to Christ! So no one will ever be able to boast, for salvation is never a reward for good works or human striving. (Ephesians 2:8-9 TPT)

I Can Do All Things Through Christ

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

You’ve learned how to ABASE, now it’s time to ABOUND!

Abase-to reduce or lower, as in rank, office, reputation, or estimation; humble; degrade. Archaic, to lower; put or bring down: He abased his head.

Abound-to occur or exist in great quantities or numbers: to be rich or well supplied; to be filled; teem.

Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Philippians 4:11-13 KJV)

God Pleaser Or People Pleaser?

by Hazel Straub

Worried and concerned about how you look to others and if they approve of you?

It is easy to get caught, trying to please people. However, the approval that is important comes from Yahweh God, our Father in Heaven. Pleasing people exhausts one, due to its demands for performance, compromise and control. It snares you into a spider web of deceit, with defeat and insecurity. God pleasing however, gives you your true identity, as you put your focus, actions, confidence and trust in him. You safely rest in the Lord, at peace because he is trustworthy and does not change. When we please God, the rewards are great.

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. Many crave and seek the ruler’s favor, but the wise man [waits] for justice from the Lord. (Proverbs 29:25-26 AMPC)

Old Wineskins Past Or The New Mindskin?

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

We can’t afford to stay in the same old wineskin–mindskin of yesterday, it will not hold or advance the new wine of the Holy Spirit, the present truth of God. My heart bleeds this morning; I can’t live in yesterday.

No one after drinking the old wine wants the new, for he says, ‘”the old is better.” The old is rooted in the old systems of man, comfortability and familiarity. The new is rooted in the Kingdom of God, it’s uncomfortable and unfamiliar.

They pour new wine into new wineskins, so that both are preserved. How can we maintain the same comfortable routine, sing the same familiar songs and minister from the same old systems and keep the new? We find more important our song selections, our pre-selected sermons, and what impresses us, versus the fresh wineskin presence of the Lord and what impresses God. Pursue the presence of God and refuse to live in yesterday.

What Do You Think And Rehearse?

by Hazel Straub

What we think and rehearse in our minds, manifests in our actions. When we meditate and think on the wonderful love of God, his mercy, grace, faithfulness and forgiveness for us, we give more love, mercy, grace and forgiveness to others. However, if we allow pride, offense and trauma, to take hold in our thoughts, we become proud and self-centered, self-righteous, argumentative, bitter and unforgiving. We judge others and act superior.

We need God’s weapons to pull down strongholds of the enemy, residing in our mind, will and emotions (heart). No longer letting past traumas define our present. With our full surrender and reliance on God’s supernatural help and weapons, we destroy these thoughts through Jesus. Thankful for God’s faithfulness and help, we either live bitter or better.

The weapons of the war we’re fighting are not of this world but are powered by God and effective at tearing down the strongholds erected against His truth.  We are demolishing arguments and ideas, every high-and-mighty philosophy that pits itself against the knowledge of the one true God. We are taking prisoners of every thought, every emotion, and subduing them into obedience to the Anointed One (Jesus).  (2 Corinthians 10:4-5 VOICE)

Real Relationship

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Real relationship requires real communication. Be honest with yourself, God, and others. Don’t mask how you really feel. Deal with it and allow God to deal with your heart.

A Green Olive Tree In God’s House


by Hazel Straub

When we seek God and dwell in him, his living water nourishes us. In his presence, our perspective changes to an eternal viewpoint. We become like a tenacious olive tree that enjoys long life, produces olives, oil for lamplight, eating, and anointing oil. The olive tree is an evergreen. The roots of the olive tree can thrive in hot arid conditions, needing minimal water, and some still produce after 2,000 years. The olive branch, is the symbol for peace. Noah sent out a dove from the ark after the flood and the dove returned with an olive branch in its beak. Like the olive tree we will flourish as we seek God and bask in his presence.

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in and confidently rely on the loving-kindness and the mercy of God forever and ever.(Psalm 52:8 AMPC)

Accept The Challenge To Love!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Love beyond yourself.

If your love doesn’t carry you beyond yourself, it isn’t love. “And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; Though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved,” (2 Corinthians 12:15). In the natural, one loves expecting love in return. Paul says, “I do not care whether you love me or not, I am willing to destitute myself completely, not merely for your sakes, but that I may draw you to God.”

The real test for the Bride is not in her preaching the gospel, but washing the feet of others, and doing things that do not count in the actual estimate of men, but matters for everything in the eyes of God. God delights in the bride when she spends herself out for God’s interest, in other people, not caring what the cost will entail; and doing it gladly. A lot of what we call love is really affection because it doesn’t go beyond ourselves. Love beyond yourself today, and love your Hater.

Apostle Hater Lover

Fearfully And Wonderfully Made!

by Hazel Straub

Often we worry about our circumstances, losing our assets and are self-centered. We become so concerned about how life affects us, we lose our focus and the reason we live. God our Creator, placed us in our family, in our city and nation with a destiny. He created us in his image and placed gifts inside of us that we need for our life purpose. His plans for us are bigger than we can imagine. Look up, see your life from God’s perspective and worship him! You are fearfully and wonderfully made,  your destiny calls.

“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].” (Ephesians 2:10 Amplified)

Breakthrough Vision

by Hazel Straub

Have you looked back to the past with fondness and not enjoyed where you were today or the breakthrough that God is giving you? If your vision is to the past, you will miss the miracle of today and tomorrow.

The children of Israel received a miraculous delivery from slavery in Egypt. However, although they ate supernatural bread from heaven, their clothes and shoes never wore out and they had water to drink, they were not content. Instead of looking for breakthrough into their God promises, they longed for the garlic and leeks of Egypt. They forgot how hard slavery and oppression was. Because of their negativity, they wandered in the wilderness and died.

Keep your vision looking forward and know that this is a time of breakthrough and quick fulfillment of dreams. Let praise and worship come out of your mouth because God is doing marvelous things for you!

All the tests they endured on their way through the wilderness are a symbolic picture, an example that provides us with a warning so that we can learn through what they experienced. For we live in a time when the purpose of all the ages past is now completing its goal within us. (1 Corinthians 10:11 TPT)

Welcome The Warmth Of Light And Love!

by Hazel Straub

The sunlight increases daily, although the snow remains on the ground, in the Far North, it slowly melts. Nothing stays the same, when in the presence of the Sun of Righteousness (Jesus). Also nothing remains the same in the sun. Some things of the flesh have died during the winter. The Spirit of God is quickening you, from the long cold winter.

Let the old things of the flesh, pride, stubbornness, unbelief, fear become killed and expelled. Instead let the love and light of God, grow, new humility, pliability to the voice of Holy Spirit, and quick obedience produce good fruit. Welcome the light that casts out all the darkness and brings new life, with the evidence of God’s love.

But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions: joy that overflows,
peace that subdues,
patience that endures,
kindness in action,
a life full of virtue,
faith that prevails,
gentleness of heart, and
strength of spirit.
Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless. (Galatians 5:22-23 TPT)

Expose Your Heart To Father God!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Deliberate Worshipers expose what’s in their hearts allowing the Father to heal their issues, thus becoming more intimate with the Father. While impulsive worshipers hide what’s in their hearts, refusing to deal with their issues, preventing them from becoming intimate with the Father.

God wants your heart in worship not just worship…

Let Go and Receive Forgiveness

by Hazel Straub

Getting rid of the clutter and getting organized is popular during this time of year. Even more important is getting rid of the garbage in your life: Unforgiveness. Release all the hurts, offenses, resentment, bitterness, and negativity, by an act of your will and forgive. Quit meditating on the wrongs done to you. It makes you toxic and bitter.

When we fail to forgive others, the darkness creeps into our lives like fungus and pollutes us. All of us have sinned against God, who shows mercy and forgiveness, when we turn to him. However, we need to forgive those who have wounded us, to receive God’s mercy. Forgiving makes room for the blessings pouring into your life. Make a daily habit of letting it all go!

For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. (Matthew 6:14 KJV)

My mouth was created to speak as your voice
My heart was created to obey your voice

The Voice of the Lord is my song
I can hear my lover calling me to his chambers
I can hear the thunder and the Fury of his love for me

I discern his sound beckoning and wooing me
His sound is my joy
His sound is my joy

I lay down everything I’ve placed before you, my desires, my ambitions, my dreams, even the way I think things should be.
I lay it all down at your feet and I crown you as Lord and place you as King of my heart.

The Key To Perfect Peace


by Hazel Straub

When we occupy our thoughts and mind on the Lord, we enjoy peace, health, prosperity and rest. Our trust, commitment and confidence is on him, not our circumstances. This way of occupying our minds, brings great reward, as the Lord cares for us.

You (the Lord) will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You. (Isaiah 26:3 AMPC)

Jesus Resurrection Grace

Weakness in me allows you Christ to show yourself strong in resurrection power

Lord, I ask for and receive your grace for today!

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. (2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT)

Mercy For Haters


by Apostle Gabriel Cross

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. (1 Timothy 1:12-14 KJV)

Paul, previously named Saul, formerly a Hater, but God had mercy on Him. I was once a Hater, we’ve all been haters and come short of the Glory of God, but he had mercy on us. Extend mercy to your Hater, they might be the next Paul one day.

Refuse to hold people, to standards that you know you can’t live yourself. Love your Haters and extend mercy today!

When we ask God for something, we must believe he will give it. To believe means to accept it as true. Be confident that the Word of God is true. What you believe, will decide what you receive, in the name of Jesus.

Jesus replied, “Let the faith of God be in you! Listen to the truth I speak to you: If someone says to this mountain with great faith and having no doubt,‘Mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the midst of the sea,’and believes that what he says will happen, it will be done. This is the reason I urge you to boldly believe for whatever you ask for in prayer—believe that you have received it and it will be yours. (Mark 11:22-24 TPT)

My Heart Lord Prayer


by Apostle Gabriel Cross

God is more concerned about our hearts being correct, than our words…

Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thorn bushes, or grapes from briers. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks. Why do you call me, “Lord, Lord,” and do not do what I say? (Luke 6:44-46)

Prayer:
Create in me a heart to worship you and renew in me the spirit greater than David. Give me purity of heart, clarity of vision, and raise my love level, so I won’t carry the wrongs that I’ve done and have experienced, from others any longer. I want a pure flow and a clear way for the King. In relation to others, I want to be a pure flow and clear way to the King. My heart Lord…

Mind Renovation With Holy Spirit

by Hazel Straub

How we view our world, from our thought life, determines our actions. As he thinks in his heart (thinking and reasoning), so is he. (Proverbs 23:7)

The Apostle Paul urges us to not be the same as the world but to change from living by the flesh, to a complete metamorphosis, through renovation (renewal) of your mind, by the Holy Spirit. No more negativity but dwelling on the Word of God and letting the Holy Spirit totally change you. Then you will discern God’s will.

Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes. (Romans 12:2 TPT)

Some of its symptoms are: hurt people hurting other people, church on church crime, and living for the approval of men, instead of the approval of God.

The remedies are: Love (fight to love), forgiveness, repentance and healed people healing others.

Jesus Blood Is Powerful!

by Hazel Straub

Evil cannot be covered up by painting it another color. Even if a house looks good on the outside, it can still have evil inside.

The removal of evil happens when we repent (change mind and purpose of how we live, have a hatred of the sin, turning to God). Our way of thinking must change from evil deeds. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from sin, when applied. We can have our mind renewed as we read the Word of God and focus on pleasing him.

Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes! Cease to do evil,learn to do right! Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool. (Isaiah 1:16-18 AMPC)

On Whom Do You Rely?


by Apostle Gabriel Cross

If you rely on your voice for livelihood, your life support will be temporal and short. However, if you rely on God’s voice, for your livelihood, your life support will be eternal and more abundant.

Prayer Of Surrender

by Hazel Straub

Father God, help me! I fully surrender and give you my heart, my will, for your will, and to let go of pride, stubbornness, resentment, offense, unbelief, and everything I substituted for a relationship with you, and humbly ask for your help.

Father God, holy is your name. Change my heart, O God! Fully, I surrender my heart, and all my pride, doing things my way, for your way. Take my heart of stone and make it flesh, pliable, and sensitive to you. Let me love like your Son, Jesus, who loves you first and others. I believe, trust, and obey you. Amen

And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. (Ezekiel 36:26 NLT)

And Suddenly…


by Apostle Gabriel Cross

…and SUDDENLY it Came to Pass. (Isaiah 48:3) God has some SUDDENLIES coming from the HEAVENLIES to you!

I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.

Pure Love Requires Action

by Hazel Straub

Real love is an action not merely words. Jesus, our example, loved us so much he gave his life for us. He laid his right to live and paid the penalty for our mistakes and sins. We, like Jesus, are to love and help fellow Christians in need. It is a way of life, give what they need and sacrifice ourselves for others.  A love lifestyle receives sacrificial love from Jesus and freely gives the same to others, showing love, mercy and grace. We receive God’s love to lavish it on others.

This is how we have discovered love’s reality: Jesus sacrificed his life for us. Because of this great love, we  to lay down our lives for one another. If anyone sees a fellow believer in need and has the means to help him, yet shows no pity and closes his heart against him, how is it even possible that God’s love lives in him?

Beloved children, our love can’t be an abstract theory we only talk about, but a way of life demonstrated through our loving deeds. We know that the truth lives within us because we demonstrate love in action, which will reassure our hearts in his presence.(! John 3:17-19 TPT)

Consistent Love For Heart Change

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Consistent Love doesn’t try to change people, its effects changes hearts.
Inconsistent love tries to change people, never considering their hearts.

To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person. If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, gift wrap your best coat and make a present of it. If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously.

I tell you, love your enemies. Help and give without expecting a return. You’ll never—I promise—regret it. Live out this God-created identity the way our Father lives toward us, generously and graciously, even when we’re at our worst. Our Father is kind; you be kind. “Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults— unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don’t condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you’ll find life a lot easier. Give away your life; you’ll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity. “(Luke 6:27-38 MSG)

The Best Weapon Against Hatred Is Love!


by Hazel Straub

The best weapon against the enemy of our soul is loving others. The enemy does not understand love because he is filled with hatred, ruling by fear and intimidation. The love of God that comes from you will change the atmosphere from tense and threatening, to peaceful and loving

.Use and release God’s love to others and see what happens!

But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also. Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don’t try to get them back. Do to others as you would like them to do to you. (Luke 6:27-31 NLT)

Hatred stirs up quarrels,
but love makes up for all offenses. (Proverbs 10:12 NLT)

The Heart Changer Breaks You Out To Freedom!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

I see BREAKOUT!

I had a prophetic vision of a heart breaking and bursting forth, out of these huge clutches (representing the enemy).

God is breaking you out of the clutches of your past. The places where you were held captive in your mind. (God is giving you freeing thoughts.) The places in your emotions that were raped by the enemy. (God is healing the memories.) A breaking out of the mold or box that the enemy formed for you. (God is loosing you into destiny.)

The spirit of Pharoah has been broken over you, you will complete the tasks, you will fulfill the call, and you will go further than your past. The sweet oil of my presence is healing what words can’t convey. I am the Heart-Changer, and I’m causing your heart to break out of walls of trauma, walls of fear, walls of hurt, walls of deception, and walls of the past. Breakout into Freedom.

Weary, Exhausted, And Want to Quit?


by Hazel Straub

Tired, weary, and exhausted? Yahweh never gets tired and always is the solution to your difficulties. Come to him and wait for him, as his grace is always available. He delights in helping those who are weary and exhausted.

Now is the time to get in the presence of Yahweh. Thank him, praise him and you will soar above the chaos. Snakes cannot live at a high elevation. When you soar on the wind of Holy Spirit, the things from the enemy of our souls die. Fear leaves when we receive the love of Yahweh.

Stand in faith and see all the fiery darts quenched, by your faith shield. Yahweh will never leave you and is your strength. Rejoice! You are soaring and flying like an eagle.

Don’t you know? Haven’t you been listening?
Yahweh is the one and only everlasting God,
the Creator of all you can see and imagine!
He never gets weary or worn out.
His intelligence is unlimited;
he is never puzzled over what to do!
He empowers the feeble
and infuses the powerless with increasing strength.
Even young people faint and get exhausted;
athletic ones may stumble and fall.
But those who wait for Yahweh’s grace
will experience divine strength.
They will rise up on soaring wings and fly like eagles,
run their race without growing weary,
and walk through life without giving up.
 (Isaiah 40:28-31 TPT)

Difficulties? Daddy God Is With You!


by Hazel Straub

There are times when we experience trials, tests and suffering. However, we are never alone because Daddy God comes beside us and gives us his comfort.

It is my prayer today, that you would experience Daddy God’s comfort like a warm comforter, while you go through painful circumstances.

Know you are not alone because Daddy God will never leave you and stays close beside you, carrying you in his arms. His love will never fail you.

All praises belong to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he is the Father of tender mercy and the God of endless comfort.  He always comes alongside us to comfort us in every suffering so that we can come alongside those who are in any painful trial. We can bring them this same comfort that God has poured out upon us. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4 The Passion Translation)

The Winner Is You!


by Apostle Gabriel Cross

I want you to change your mind about some things, and see it from my point of view. See yourself, as the winner in the ring with the enemy. It’s a fixed fight, and you’ve already won. The devil is the loser and YOU ARE THE CHAMPION!

Exchange your desires for my desires for You. I want to embrace you like you’ve never been hugged before, hugging all your fear away. I want to kiss you and make you not bitter, but better. I desire to lavish the favor, the power, and the deliverance of my love all over you. Rubbing your past away with the Glory of my love.

I unlock your heart where it has been locked by the lies, wounds, and trauma of the past. Now, your heart is unlocked to the truth, the deep healing, and freedom of my Love. Wrap your heart around My overhaul of supernatural provision, for your vision.

Stop limiting me. Stop it now. For I am, Jehovah El Shaddai, the God of more than enough, unlimited, bountiful supply, and all-sufficient One. Come out of the shallow places and start walking in your overflowing God! Walk in the grace and power of the Unlimited. For you are, UNLIMITED.

I want to do more for you than what you can ask! I want to bless you more than you desire to be blessed. For I am the God, “Jehovah Sabaoth,” who stopped time for one man, Joshua 10:13. For I didn’t create you to serve time, but for time to serve you. I am redeeming your time (days that have been difficult and evil), liberating your time (freeing you from the false responsibility false expectations and demands), and holding time, simply, for you, because I desire more fruit from you.

Stop focusing on who doesn’t like you, and start focusing on the One who is in love with you, and those who are in true covenant with you. You are a winner, because you’ve already won. You are unstoppable, because you’re more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus!

You are not a failure, nor will you fail, because you are born of incorruptible seed and you will fulfill the dreams I’ve placed in you. I am with you. I am on your side. I am ahead of you preparing the way!

Don’t worry, don’t you fret, there is so much more abundance, you haven’t seen yet. My love, my love, my love, I love you with a stubborn love, life changing love, a truth bearing love, love that won’t quit but will see to it, that you grow through it, and the fill the face of the whole earth with fruit. You are my heart, says the Spirit of the living God!

Yesterday Is Gone Enjoy Today With God!

by Hazel Straub

God is greater than all our failures and does more marvelous things in our lives than we can imagine. Lift up your eyes, to Jesus, believe that nothing is impossible with him. Begin to imagine and see the God-given desires for a hope and a future, fulfilled in your life. Your past does not decide what happens today, as you fix your eyes on Jesus. He paid for your sins, let them go. Get up and do not give up! With God on your side, who can stand against you?

As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us. We look away from the natural realm and we fasten our gaze onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God! (Hebrews 12:1-2 TPT)

Embrace Yourself!


by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Sometimes it takes many years, for individuals, to realize what they were looking for in others, they actually had within themselves, all along. How they were trying to submit to someone who was less mature than them. How they were compromising who they were, to only fulfill whom someone else was.

Stop underestimating your value, and start embracing your superlative worth. Unwrap yourself today, You are the gift 🎁.

You’re The Treasure Of God

by Hazel Straub

God is calling us to listen to him and obey him because we are his children, whom he redeemed. We are his special treasure, in close relationship with him. Obedience brings blessings!

Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to me. (Exodus 19:5 NLT)
