Focus On Jesus And Trust Him

by Hazel Straub

When the world seems out of control, along with your personal concerns, does fear grip your heart? Change your focus from the storms swirling around you and fix your gaze on the Lord. He never changes and is always there, when you rely on him and enjoy his presence.

As a believer in Jesus, his righteousness is yours. Roll all the heavy burdens onto him because he cares for you. Rest and snuggle close to the Lord and delight yourself in his love for you. He keeps you safe, as you trust him!

Trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed.
Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.
And He will make your uprightness and right standing with God go forth as the light, and your justice and right as [the shining sun of] the noonday.
Be still and rest in the Lord; wait for Him and patiently lean yourself upon Him; fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass. (Psalm 37: 3-7 AMPC)

Embrace Yourself In Christ

by Gabriel Cross

The more you embrace who you are in Me, The more you will see, perceive, and understand who you are in Me. Gravity cannot hold you down. History cannot hold you back. People, trauma, the past, and the enemy cannot stop you. They cannot stop you, because I started You.  Only you can stop you.  I started you, made you and ordained you that you would show forth the praises, the beauty, and the Glory of Me, in the earth.

Embrace who You are. Embrace yourself, completely.  Stop apologizing, destructively criticizing, disguising, and over analyzing, who you are.  Start embracing, celebrating you, discovering, and loving who you are, the way I, Father, loves you.

Embrace your Kingdom identity, your new Destiny in Me, your Divinity, and Christ in you, the Hope of Glory Embrace who you are wholeheartedly, because I embrace whom I created you to be, wholeheartedly.

Your embracing breaks the opinions, lies, and strongholds (wrong mindsets), of the past. Your embracing looses you to be, whom I ordained and anointed you.  Learn to love, learn to like, learn to accept, what God loves, likes, and accepts concerning yourself.

Let the Glory do the changes.  Let the glory do the changes. Let the glory do the changes and My grace will empower you to make amends and live your best life NOWWW!  The past serves only as a learning tool, a reminder of My goodness, and a springboard for the success, of My Grace upon your life.

You are breaking out of the lies, deceptions, and misconceptions of the enemy, concerning yourself. Heaven’s Truth, Supernatural Revelation, and Freedom in Christ, are breaking over you. You’re going to walk in His Truth, Revelation, and Christ’s Freedom, concerning yourself.

Hungry And Thirsty For More Of The Lord?

by Hazel Straub

The Lord says: 

Do you have the same hunger for me as you have for food, possessions, comfort, social media, and entertainment? Do you long to eat and drink the delicacies of my spiritual food and drink, more than anything else? I desire to sup with you but you are too busy. My heart yearns for you to spend more time with me, so I can satisfy your true thirst and hunger. 

Rest and worship, as did the woman, who desired my presence more than the approval of men. She broke her alabaster box and poured its costly precious perfume, on my head, as fragrant worship that remained with me, when I laid down my life for you, on the cross. (Matthew 26:6-13)

I long for worshipers that desire me more than anything else. It is time for you to cry out to me: Make me more hungry and thirsty for you, Jesus!

Oh, who will pay the price, to truly worship me, seeking me with their whole heart? Come away with me, my beloved.

“He has brought me to his banqueting place, And his banner over me is love [waving overhead to protect and comfort me]. (Song of Songs 2:4 AMP)

True Heart Worship

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

True worship produces TRUTH and FREEDOM. False worship holds you hostage to the PAST and BONDAGE. Therefore, true heart worshippers love the TRUTH and become free perpetually. Lip service worshippers, only perpetrate to have the TRUTH and remain in bondage.

The Powerful Blood Of Jesus

by Hazel Straub

One drop of the blood of Jesus Christ can destroy the kingdom of satan. Rejoice in the power of the blood of the Lamb..

For this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. (Matthew 26:28 ESV)

Battlefield Of The Mind

images

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

For those of you who are battling, let me expose the witchcraft of the enemy.
Attacks of the past
(The enemy desires to)
Make you think you haven’t changed
Try to cause you to revert
To prevent us from crying out to God and relying on your own strength

Attacks of what you’ve been delivered from (the enemy desires to)
To make you think you haven’t been delivered
That you won’t ever be delivered
Prevent you from crying out for help or seeking help for deliverance

Attacks of backlash, retaliation
A sudden, forceful backward movement; (the enemy is)
Trying to stop your momentum
Trying to cause doubt fear and unbelief

However, there is a place in the Glory of God called, “Spiritual Immunity,” Where we are in perfect covenant, purely worshiping, close intimacy with The Lord, and his presence makes us insusceptible to the enemy’s attacks, wiles, and schemes.

You’re a wonder-working
Life recovering
Never deserting
Ever changing God

Your Truth brings us into freedom
And Supernatural wisdom

Forgive And Live!

by Hazel Straub

We are called to forgive and not get offended. No matter what has happened, in the past, let it go and do not hold onto the pain, or whatever wrong has happened to you. If you refuse to forgive, you drink the poison that you intend for others. Show compassion to others that God has shown you. Holding unforgiveness does not harm the offender but it makes you bitter. If you refuse to forgive and show mercy, you will not receive forgiveness and mercy.

Refusing to forgive, brings demonic tormenters that rob you of rest, peace, joy and love. Let the burden go, and you will have room, to receive God’s forgiveness. You show mercy and receive mercy. No longer relive the wrongs done to you, leave the heavy load, so you can enjoy today and truly live!

Then his master called him in. “‘You wicked servant!’ he said. ‘Didn’t I cancel all that debt when you begged me to do so? Oughtn’t you to have taken pity on your fellow-servant as I, your master, took pity on you? And his master in anger handed him over to the gaolers till he should repay the whole debt. This is how my Heavenly Father will treat you unless you each forgive your brother from your heart.” (Matthew 18:34 Phillips)

Create In Me A Pure Heart

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Father, create in me a pure heart to worship you and renew in me a steadfast spirit. My sole desire is to hear like you hear; say what you say; so I can do what you do…

“God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life.” (Psalm 51:10 The Message)

Your heart..

Fix Your Eyes On Jesus

images

by Hazel Straub

When you are going through the storm, keep your focus firmly fixed on Jesus. He leads and guides you successfully, through the most narrow and dark places. Problems, however, arise when we take our eyes off him and worry about our circumstances. We begin to think about the “what ifs” and magnify the challenges.

Our focus becomes the problem and not the Problem Solver. The problem gets our time, thoughts, on which we meditate and consumes our hearts, becoming our idol. It takes first place in our lives and becomes what we worship, instead of trusting Yahweh. Anything that takes the focus off Jesus is an idol.

Change your focus and praise and worship Jesus. Look up! Stop worrying and striving, instead rest in his strength and listen to what he is speaking to you. Then you will successfully come through the challenging season.

I love you, Yahweh, my strength. Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. (Psalm 18:1-2 WEB)

Move On It Now

I hear Jesus saying, “Move on it now, move on it now! You will be accepted, you will be approved, you will be granted the amount you need and much, much, more! Don’t wait, don’t hesitate, for my Father is sprinkling out the abundance of grace upon your circumstances! He is pouring out fresh grace upon past prophecies spoken over you.

I declare supernatural mobility in your spirit, super expectancy of success and great blessing! My promise is in and upon you. My promise is upon you! My promise will not fail! Move, move, where you are at and what you’ve thought it too small! Prepare for it! Prepare for the Move! Prepare for it, because you are MOVING INTO A LARGE, WEALTHY, SPACIOUS, LUXURIOUS, PLACE OF GRACE!

Be Careful What You Speak

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

We must be careful about the things we say because the enemy cannot act on it, until we speak it; giving him permission to bring it to pass. All this time he’s just been waiting for an entrance, an invitation to come in, by our words, unless we keep worshiping and saying Yahweh directed words!

God’s Love Casts Out Fear

by Hazel Straub

Today, receive the love of God, expressed through his son, Jesus. He is the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through him. (John 14:6) His love casts out all fear. His love warms you and changes how you view others. Jesus loves you, without any conditions. He loves you!

The love of God makes the fear of man go. You can enjoy security in his love.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears punishment has not been perfected in love.(1 John 4:18 NET)

Love Changes

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

How you treat each other,
is how you treat Me
Ill towards sister or brother,
O how it grieves Me
Gossip and slander
Is not my character
Unforgiveness and revenge
Is not my intent
How can you say you love
How can you say you love
When you won’t love the way I love you

You talk love
But you don’t show love
You want love
But you won’t give love
The worse army in the world
Is the one that kills its own
Oh Love unfeigned
Love without blame
Ooh Love unfeigned
Love will change
The unchangeable

Love changes
Love changes
Love changes
The unchangeable
Oh…
(Not the runs and rifts nor the skills or gifts but love)

You only have love for others
Who have love for you
You must have mercy on others
‘Cause I have mercy on you
Encourage one another
As I encourage you
If you do these things you
You have passed from death (1 JOHN 3:14)
And My love’s alive in you
Oh Love unfeigned
Love without blame
Oh Love unfeigned
Love will change
The unchangeable
Love changes
Love changes
Love changes
Love changes the unchangeable

Choose To Pray Not Worry

by Hazel Straub

Worry and anxiety robs you of enjoyment in the moment. Most of the things which worry you, never happens. Worry is depending on yourself, holding onto trouble and forgetting the love of God, for you. The solution to worry, is to praise and thank the Lord for who he is, pray, to your Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus, trust God and leave it all in his capable hands. Know he cares about everything that concerns you. Then you will enjoy an abundant life.

Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. (Philippians 4:6-7 MSG)

Holy Spirit’s Empowerment

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. I will also save you from all your uncleanness: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the nations.” (Ezekiel 36:26-30 KJV)

Thank God for the empowerment of the Holy Spirit who causes us to walk upright.

Yahweh’s Presence Prayer

by Hazel Straub

Oh Yahweh, Covenant Keeping God, I come through Jesus the Anointed One. If you do not go with me, I do not want to go. Today, I will move and leave what is familiar, if you go with me, as you did with Moses. Your presence is the comfort that I need, as I venture into unknown territory. Your light casts out all darkness.

It is only with you, as my companion, that I can do great exploits. (“Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.” Daniel 11:32 NKJV) Your presence makes the impossible possible. I trust and rely on you today. Do not leave or forsake me, for in you, is fulness of joy. I delight in your closeness. Your presence gives me rest, so I do not stress. Yahweh, when you go with me, nothing is too difficult. You are my strength and sustainer. In you and your presence, I am confident. Thank you for your comfort that causes all my fears and anxious thoughts to vanish. In this day, I am confident in your nearness and give you all the glory and praise.

“Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.” (Exodus 33:15 NIV)

Pure Forgiveness

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

You have truly forgiven and are in place in God, when you can look at the ones whom hurt you, fabricated stories about you, beat you, and even planned to kill you, and say this:

” . .Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Now therefore, fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.”(Genesis 50:19-21 KJV)

Worship To God My Refuge

by Hazel Straub

God, you are my Refuge from the storm
I come to you weary, tired and forlorn
You are the secure rock in whom I hide
Precious Lord Jesus do I trust and abide

No fear or intimidation from the enemy’s strategies
You reverse the enemy’s plans for ruin and tragedy
No room to listen or believe any negative platitudes
Casting my cares, secure in your arms with gratitude

You give me strength, love and help on the journey
In you refreshment comes when I’m tired and weary
My battles fought and won by you through reliance
My heart becomes supple and pliable in compliance

You captured my heart with love, provision and vision
‘Cause you released me from the grip of fear’s prison
Thanksgiving yours alone, forgiven  I raise my praise
To you alone the Everlasting One singing all of my days!

The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. (Psalm 18:2 NLT)

God Made You Great!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

You are great, God empowers you to do the impossible. You are great and there is no one else like you. You are so great, he is increasing your greatness, and comforting you on every side. (Psalm 71:21)

“And when I passed by you, and saw you polluted in thine own blood (issues), I said to you when you wast in your blood, Live; yea, I said to you when you wast in your blood (issues), Live.”
‭‭(Ezekiel‬ ‭16:6‬ ‭KJV)

Look up and Live. Live out of the release Yahweh has given you in your spirit, not out of the reaction of others and circumstances.

You are a magnificent, demonstration, and divine replica of God Almighty. You are God’s workmanship and masterpiece. Because of Jesus, You are the most powerful weapon God has against the enemy.

You are the amazing creativity of Elohim. He created you to be more than ordinary, powerfully influential, above and exceeding to reign. Successfully unique, widely acclaimed, doing greater works in Jesus’s name.

You are the living expression of God in the earth realm. You are the mini-me, of God. You are an empowerment, production, and protége of grace. You are imploding and exploding with the glorious dunamis power and Excellency of Heaven.

Therefore, whatever you do, do it greatly from your heart. Wherever you are, you are great and becoming greater by grace. Wherever you go, go and be Great, Today!

Trust God And Quit Your Self Efforts

by Hazel Straub

The failure of our own self-determined efforts that seeks for elusive success in life, drives us to draw nearer to God. He calls us to trust him, quit struggling, to let go of the baggage from our past and submit our own will, to his will. As we release our grip on past failures and triumphs, we gain a deeper capacity, to receive Abba God’s love.

God calls for our surrender and submission to Jesus, as Lord of our lives. He draws us close by his grace, cleansing and healing us, with his unconditional love. Trust him and release your tight grip on doing things your way, choose to obey his voice, so that you can experience the fullness of his love for you today. It is time to come from mere survival into abundant life.

Release the old, press into God and receive fresh vibrant life!

Trust in the Lord completely,
and do not rely on your own opinions.
With all your heart rely on him to guide you,
and he will lead you in every decision you make.
Become intimate with him in whatever you do,
and he will lead you wherever you go.
Don’t think for a moment that you know it all,
for wisdom comes when you adore him with undivided devotion
and avoid everything that’s wrong. (Proverbs 3:5-7 TPT)

Worship With My Whole Heart

images

by Hazel Straub

Abba, I give you my worship and all my heart
Full surrender to you not withholding any part
Your place first, foremost, in my devotion and love
Your name full of honor, famous here not only above

Sounds of praise as hands lift and raise to the King
My mouth releases its unique vibrant melodious ring
Join the angels and sing holy, holy, holy, God Almighty
You captivate my heart, release, restore, refresh divinely

The ears of my heart listen and follows your Shepherd’s voice
Following your instructions – yielded and obedient is my choice
Though the path may lead through narrow dark places you stay close
Abundant life overflowing with mercy, goodness and the Holy Ghost.

Serve Lord Jehovah with joy; enter before him with praise! (Psalm 100:2 ABPE)

Visualize Your Victory

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Quit analyzing your problems and start visualizing your victory.
Time to retire from dreaming the dream, to living God’s dream for your life.

Rainbow in the sky and it hasn’t even rained, means God will still fulfill his promises, even in a dry season.
God is Faithful and always Faithful to keep his promises.

Restoration Through Spiritual Warfare

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Although you are going through a narrow place, Jehovah is bringing and growing you through it. While you are going through, renounce and denounce anything the enemy brings or has brought to mind. Apply the redemptive blood to your conscience–heart and mind. Break the witchcraft cauldrons of passivity and apathy not only in you but in your environment.

Your spirit will rise and withstand its infirmity (Proverbs 18:14) and all those things that are attempting to weaken and destroy you. It’s time to break free from the seasons of death, broken spirit, abandonment, and trauma. Bring your blood and your family bloodline back under the bloodline of Yeshua. Repent for any parental and or ancestral iniquity and ask for cleansing, forgiveness and a purging of your conscience from all defilement from them. As you do these things, You are coming off pause, moving in progression, and a new momentum in God.

Ask Jehovah for his heart and his heart for you. Yahweh will restore you in ways you have never imagined.

The Battle Belongs To The Lord

by Hazel Straub

The battle belongs to you, my God of Peace and Lord
In your love I rest, not in the might of flashing sword
Safe from the trial of distressful battle, my fears depart
Your embrace heals, consoles, all of my wounded heart

You are my strength, comfort, help, and shield
The battle won by trust in your love, as I yield
I rest in you, enjoying the comfort of your breast
Letting all my fears and anxiety go, while I rest

My confidence is in you for victory is sure
You give me vision and provision is assured
The guarantee in you comes in tranquil trust
No need for me to run, fret or frantically rush

You make me peaceful, comforted, whole and complete
Broken places healed, I’m soothed, filled full and replete
You are my rest, restoration, refreshment and health
My prosperity comes by faith and trust in your wealth

The battle belongs to you, my God and Lord
In quiet confidence, sheltered and adored
The tumult of fierce warfare cannot move me
‘Cause I nestle on your chest, confident in thee

This is what the LORD says: Do not be afraid! Don’t be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. (2 Chronicles 20:15 NLT)

God’s Love Is The Best Weapon

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)

God Does Great And Marvelous Things

by Hazel Straub

God is doing great things.
He saves and changes lives.
He forgives our sins.
He heals our diseases.

He delivers us from destructive behaviors and evil spirits.
He speaks and we can understand as we listen.
He lives inside of us and changes us from the inside out.
He takes us from defeat and gives us victory.
Great and marvelous are his works!

God thunders wonderfully with his voice, he does great things beyond our understanding. (Job 37:5 CJB)

Triumph Of Faith

by Hazel Straub

What is the secret to living a blessed life? Love the Lord God and cherish his words. Even in dark times, the light of God’s favor brings blessings and wealth. Faith and trust in God triumphs over evil.

Shout in celebration of praise to the Lord! Everyone who loves the Lord and delights in him will cherish his words and be blessed beyond expectation. Their descendants will be prosperous and influential. Every generation of his godly lovers will experience his favor. Great blessing and wealth fills the house of the wise, for their integrity endures forever. Even if darkness overtakes them, sunrise-brilliance will come bursting through because they are gracious to others, so tender and true. (Psalm 112:1-4 TPT)

God Of The Net Breaker

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

In this age of  the Internet and networks, we are facing challenging economic times. We need the God of the Net Breaker.

Luke 5:1 (KJV)
“And it came to pass, that as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.” (Don’t start washing your nets when God’s about to break them)

Luke 5:4 (KJV)
“Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught (overhaul of blessing).”

Luke 5:5 (KJV)
“And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.”

Likewise, Jesus told his disciples to let down their net for a draught (overhaul of blessing). It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been toiling and waiting. Do what the Father tells you to do, in this hour and you will be blessed. Launch out deeper into God’s love, do whatever God tells you do, and watch God break your nets.

Luke 5:6-7 (KJV)
“And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.”

God desires to bless you so much that you have such a surplus that you have to incorporate others to help dispense the blessings. The Lord is breaking your nets and increasing your net worth.

Faith Walker

by Hazel Straub

Discouraged due to the obstacles, losses, challenges, you are facing? Look up into the face of your Creator God and know that he loves you and has great plans for your life. As you gaze into his face and remember how he has been faithful to you, throughout your life. When it looked like you would fall and not get up, he came through. Look up for your Redeemer lives and what the enemy meant for evil, turns into good. Keep your focus on the Lord and not the things that want to defeat you.

The children of Israel had feared the taskmasters in Egypt, who had made their lives miserable. But God rescued them from slavery and brought them out with his mighty hand. Although Pharaoh and his army pursued them and the Red Sea stood before them, God reversed what looked hopeless, into victory. He dried up the Red Sea and the children of Israel passed safely to the other side.

But Moses said to the people, “Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD
 which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever. “The LORD will fight for you while you keep silent.” (Exodus 14:13-14 BSB)

When they were discouraged with the circumstances God took care of their enemies. After the Egyptians went into the dry sea bed, the Lord fought against them. The waters of the Red Sea went back into place and not one of the Egyptians that had pursued, threatened, and frightened them, survived.

Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her with tambourines and dancing. And Miriam sang back to them:  “Sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; the horse and rider He has thrown into the sea.” (Exodus 15:20-21 BSB)

God is our Salvation and turns hopeless situations, into a time of rejoicing. The enemy we have known all our lives, we will see no more. He is defeated! Rejoice! God calls you a faith walker!

Cry Out To God

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

When you cry out to God, he hears you, delivers you, heals you, saves you, strengthens you, and performs all things for you. All because you cried to the Lord. Your cry is worship, your cry is travail, your cry is breakthrough, your cry is warfare, your cry is essential to Yahweh. Heaven is released when you cry…Selah

I sought (worshiped, inquired, cried to) the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. (Psalms 34:4)

They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. (Psalms 22:5)

O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. (Psalms 30:2)

The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. (Psalms 34:17)

Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. (Psalms 107:6)

Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. (Psalms 107:13)

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. (Psalms 56:9)

I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. (Psalms 57:2)

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. (Psalms 138:3)

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. (Psalms 142:6)

I cried to the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. (Psalms 34:4)

Whatever your weakness, fear, concern or dilemma, CRY OUT TO GOD AND HE WILL RELEASE GLORY TO YOU…

Rest And Leave Your Problems With The Lord

by Hazel Straub

Rest in the Lord. Quit striving and exerting much effort and energy, getting stressed and exhausted. Release your worries, problems, dilemmas, and issues to him and don’t go back to pick them back up. Let him carry the responsibility and then rest, in his tender care. Savor your life, while trusting him!

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Matthew 11:28-30 MSG)

Embrace The Word And Its Consequences

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

DO NOT GET LOST IN THE PROCESS. No matter how much we kick, scream, pray, and want things to change instantly, sometimes we just have to endure and be encouraged during the process. God gave Joseph a dream, an anointing to interpret dreams, and a huge destiny. Although he shared the dream, not everyone was supportive or happy concerning the dream. Nevertheless, Until the time that his word came: The word of the Lord tried him. (Psalms 105:19). The trying of the word of The Lord is called “the process”. While in the process you are being processed.

Process -a continuous action, operation, or series of changes taking place in a definite manner.

It doesn’t always feel good or pleasurable growing through the process but Yahweh is working a far greater weight of his glory, stronger grace of his anointing, and the power of His character in your life. So don’t fight the process, EMBRACE THE WORD AND THE CONSEQUENCES THAT COME ALONG WITH IT…You’ll be more like Jesus when you do…Selah

Surrender!

by Hazel Straub

“Be still, and know that I am God!
    I will be honored by every nation.
    I will be honored throughout the world.” (Psalm 46:10 NLT)

Be still, desist (cease from doing), cease striving, be weak, let go, surrender, die to yourself and your desire to control the outcome and know, learn, recognize and understand that I am God. I am in control and I am trustworthy. I will be exalted and honored among the nations! I will be exalted and honored in the earth! Surrender, submit, obey, and honor God!

Your Time Not Your Turn

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

My friend, God says, “It’s not your turn, but it’s your time.” A turn can be taken from you. When it’s your turn, someone can break line in front of you and take it from you. When it is your turn, it’s predicated on your abilities, skills, resources, and what you can see. However, when it’s your time, God’s ability is the basis, along with heaven’s resources, his power, his expertise, and what you cannot see but believe.

A turn can be stolen from you but when God says, “It’s your time.” this season cannot be forfeited because he is the One granting it to you. A turn is just a turn but your time is simply divine. The blessing that God is giving you, the devil cannot do anything about it. The enemy cannot sabotage, hinder, nor prevent God from doing what he has previously decided, in his mind, to do for you. Although, it may not look or feel like your time, God says, “It’s your time.”

In the name of Yeshua our Christ, I activate divine connections, resources, and the anointing of “more than enough” in your life. You are immediately translated from the land of “need more,” into the land of “more than enough.” There is no lack or shortage in God’s presence. I release abundant shares and the abundance of glory to the seeds that you’ve released in the lives of others. May it be returned supernaturally in abundance to you, today, stupendously, eminently, immediately, outrageously, and contagiously, in full manifestation for God’s Glory.

You are in a time of great enlargement and supernatural manifestation. It is time to manifest what you’ve helped make manifest for others, out of pure love and pure worship. God is making happen for you what you’ve helped make happen for others. God is rewarding you openly, for what you’ve done secretly for others.

Although, it may not look or feel like your time, God says, “It is your time.”

You Are My Treasure

by Hazel Straub

My Dearest Child,

You are my treasured possession and I delight in you, my child. Even though you are a fragile vessel of clay, I have placed my treasure within you. You are precious and valuable in my sight. I cherish you and paid the greatest price for you, with the precious life and blood of my son, Jesus. You are worth more than all the rubies and gold. Precious.

I carry you close in my heart and will not let you go. Receive and bask in my love. You do not have to do anything to receive all that I have for you. My child, I accept, take pleasure and value you, as rare and very precious. Know this is your true identity and requires nothing else or good performance. Rest, cease from your labors and let me lavish my love and comfort on you. You are my precious treasure, my jewel in whom I delight.

Love,
Abba

Live In Yahweh’s Hands

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

However, when you live your LIFE with it being in the hands of Yahweh, you will have joy unspeakable and will fulfill your Destiny…Selah

What Kind Of Seeds Do You Plant?

by Hazel Straub

Fluffy seeds float in the air carried by the wind. Seeds from cottonwoods will only produce more of the same. Dandelion seeds grow more dandelions much to the disgust of many a gardener, who is trying to have a beautiful lawn.

What kind of seeds are you producing?  Kindness or discord? Seeds of kindness births more kindness. Plant random acts of kindness today.

God spoke: “Earth, green up! Grow all varieties
of seed-bearing plants,
Every sort of fruit-bearing tree.”
And there it was.
Earth produced green seed-bearing plants,
all varieties,
And fruit-bearing trees of all sorts.
God saw that it was good.
It was evening, it was morning—
Day Three. (Genesis 1:11-13 MSG)

Difficulties Make Our Mess A Message

by Hazel Straub

Have you had difficulties in your life that seem insurmountable? Negative thought patterns, the past you never overcome, repetitive destructive behavior patterns, hardship, sins you repeat and repeatedly ask God to forgive? When you belong to Christ, you are never alone. These situations come and we overcome, by growing through the pain and darkness. The stuff we go through that seems disastrous becomes the fertilizer that helps us grow through it and become beautiful, mature and productive, in the image of God.

We cry out to Daddy God, asking him to deliver us, immediately. Instead he accompanies us, as we go through the process. We are not the sin or pain with which we struggle. In our hardship, we fall on the Lord’s mercy and give him more of our heart. The dark struggle through the dirt, causes more of Jesus to shine through our life, through refining and dying to our flesh. He heals us and delivers us from all our fears. Abundant life, not as a survivor or victim but as a triumphant overcomer becomes our lifestyle. Our mess becomes a message that encourages and inspires many.

I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty.(Philippians 4:12-13 TPT)

You Are My Heart Song

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

You are my HeartSong. Everything within me cries out for You and more of You. O how my heart longs and throngs for you. You are my passion, my heart, my destiny. My love, my joy, my King of Glory. I want to hide in the mountains of your presence. I want to drown in the oceans of your love. I want to float on the clouds of your mercy and soar on the wings of your healing.

I want your heart so I can love like you. I want your heart so I can respond like you. I want your heart so I can heal like you. Your love is all I need. Your love transforms and releases me. Your love, your heart is my song. Give me Your heart so I can know the words. Give me your heart so I can sing the melody. Give me your heart full of life unending. You are my heart, my HeartSong.
