You mustn’t allow others or things to define, deplete, determine your spirituality or your value, in the Kingdom of God. Let God validate you! He created you for His glory not theirs.

Keep Your Focus On Father God!

Majestic golden throne of god in heaven in the sky surrounded white clouds and divine sunlight ...

by Hazel Straub

There are times when we lose our focus and become discouraged, tired of doing good. God wants to encourage, refresh and bless you. It is important not to quit or allow fatigue to overtake you, as you plant where God leads. You will reap a harvest of blessing, in season. Do not let the waiting for the harvest discourage you. Keep allowing God’s Spirit to work in you and rest in his provision of refreshment on the journey.

Galatians 6:7-10 (The Message)
“Don’t be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others—ignoring God!—harvests a crop of weeds. All he’ll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God’s Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life. So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.” (Galatians 6:7-10 MSG)

Believe God

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Out of the things that the WORD identifies us as, I want to go down in history as a BELIEVER. BELIEVING God and it came to pass! BELIEVING God, against all odds! BELIEVING God, in the midst of adversity! BELIEVING God, denying the symptoms the right to exist, in the temple of thbelieve-in-jesus.htmle Holy Spirit. BELIEVING God’s WORD even when others can’t keep their word.

“And he BELIEVED in the Lord ; and he counted it to him for righteousness. (Genesis 15:6)
“And many more BELIEVED because of his own word;” (John 4:41 ) “And he said, Lord, I BELIEVE. And he worshipped him.” (John 9:38) “And blessed is she that BELIEVED : for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.” (Luke 1:45)

“But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that BELIEVE to the saving of the soul.” (Hebrews 10:39)

“Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast BELIEVED: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have BELIEVED.” (John 20:29)

“And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, BELIEVED on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing BELIEVED and were baptized.” (Acts 18:8)

“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVE, and therefore have I spoken; we also BELIEVE, and therefore speak; Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.” (2 Corinthians 4:13, 14) “I had fainted, unless I had BELIEVED to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” (Psalms 27:13) “And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, BELIEVING, ye shall receive.” (Matthew 21:22) …”Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; BELIEVE his prophets, so shall ye prosper.” (2 Chronicles 20:20) “Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest BELIEVE, you will see the glory of God?” (John 11:40)

And I BELIEVED, and it came to pass! In the midst of pressures, crises, and trauma, it is more powerful and more healthy to BELIEVE than to doubt. I want to go down in history, as the one who BELIEVED God and It ALL came to pass! You are blessed to be a BELIEVER today!

Mercy And Forgiveness

by Hazel Straub

Life brings offenses and we choose how we react. The call for mercy comes from God, our Merciful Father. We need to decide to show mercy and forgiveness. It sets us free from bitterness and sleepless nights, giving us peace. We forgive, so we can receive God’s forgiveness.

Today, I choose mercy for those who have offended and hurt me and forgive them, releasing them from their debt. I also forgive myself. I cry out to God for mercy. I plead the washing of the blood of Jesus, over everyone, who has offended and hurt me.

Mercy triumphs over judgment! Forgiven!

For judgment is without mercy to the one who has not shown mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. (James 2:13 CSB)

With God you can do anything, with God you can do the impossible. With God you will fulfill all your dreams, (take the limits off), as far as you can SEE…

Season Of Lights

by Hazel Straub

This is the season of Lights. It is during the night that the lights are most noticeable.

Jesus celebrated Hanukkah or the Feast of Dedication. It started December 14, 2025, at sundown, and will last for eight days. A Greek general had taken over the Temple in Jerusalem about 150 years before Jesus. Worship of Zeus with the slaughter of a pig on God’s altar, had desecrated the Temple. When the Temple was back in the hands of the priests and Levites, dedication to Yahweh, the one true God, took eight days for purification. The candlestick or menorah was lit during this time.,although they only had dedicated oil for one day, it lasted eight days until new oil could be made.

Jesus proclaimed that he was the light of the world and that his followers would never walk in darkness. (John 8:12) In Matthew 5:14-1His light shines out of us (his temples) and triumphs. The dark flees, where there is light. Jesus taught that believers in him were the light of the world, in Matthew 5:14-16. Take time to dedicate yourself again, to God through Christ Jesus. Let him cleanse your temple from any pollution, with his blood. Do not curse the darkness but shine brightly! Celebrate the Light!

‘“Your lives light up the world. For how can you hide a city that stands on a hilltop? And who would light a lamp and then hide it in an obscure place? Instead, it’s placed where everyone in the house can benefit from its light. So don’t hide your light! Let it shine brightly before others, so that your commendable works will shine as light upon them, and then they will give their praise to your Father in heaven.”’

“Your lives light up the world. For how can you hide a city that stands on a hilltop? And who would light a lamp and then hide it in an obscure place? Instead it is placed where everyone in the house can benefit from its light. So don’t hide your light! Let it shine brightly before others, so that your commendable works will shine as light upon them, and then they will give their praise to your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16 TPT)

Then came the Festival of Dedication (Hanukkah) at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the Colonnade of Solomon. (John 10:23-24 ESV)

God Is Good

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

We have a tendency of predicating everything, on how good, we’ve been. However, the Holy Spirit gives us the tendency of predicating everything, on How Good God is.

The LORD shall open (open wide, loose, break forth, carve out, and unstop) to you his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain to your land in his season, and to bless all the work of your hand: and you shall lend to many nations, and you shall not borrow. (Deuteronomy 28:12)

With Your Whole Heart Seek The Lord

by Hazel Straub

The tribe of Judah was having great difficulty and it was unsafe to travel, due to their not following God. They were challenged to seek the Lord with all of their hearts. Due to all the distress they suffered, they turned to Lord God. Then their situation changed for the better. This is true for us, also.

They sought God eagerly and he was found by them. So the LORD gave them rest on every side. (2 Chronicles 15:15b NIV)

God Is Stronger, Greater, Fulfilling His Word

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Even through our weaknesses, God is stronger, greater, and will never come short of His Word, in our lives. Being honest with Abba about where one is at, doesn’t make one weak, but makes one strongly trusting and reliant on the One, who makes us stronger than enemies.
