Freedom Or Entrapment In Our Speech

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Recently, I was reading (Proverbs 6:2)”Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art caught by the words of your mouth.” The word snare means entrapped or barbed. Then the Holy Spirit began to show me some words of entrapment (inner vows) in my heart. One was “here we go again.”

The Lord said, “you’re saying this out of frustration and hurt because of a cycle or reoccurring problem of something undesired.” This is an inner vow or word of entrapment because you aren’t stopping the cycle but welcoming and continuing the cycle. Instead, you should say, “Lord, my life, my times are in your hands and I speak death to every cycle that is not a blessing in my life.”  This will be the end of this curse and a new beginning.

Secondly, “Something is wrong with me”. He pointed out how this was an inner vow or word of entrapment. He said, “you are speaking this out of rejection from a person(s). You need to say, “I am wonderfully and fearfully made in the image and likeness of God. When he created me, he did it right. I am preserved, undamaged, intact, lacking nothing.”

Lastly, “I’m just anointed for mess, hurt, and abuse”. He pointed out, “this is not your portion, nor your daily benefits, or the more abundant life, I promised you.” What you should say, “I’m anointed to establish the Kingdom of God and his order. I’m anointed to be healed and bring healing to others. I’m anointed not to be abused but to bring healing to those abused, as well as the abuser.”

Then I began to repent and renounce the words of entrapment. Freedom came in and the snare was broken in these areas. Yahweh has not anointed you for mess, abuse, and hurt, but to be healed and bring healing, to be delivered from, and to conquer it. Death and Life are in the power of your tongue, speak death to the things of the enemy and life to the things of God Today!

Holy Spirit, show me any words of entrapment or inner vows that I have made, that I may repent, renounce, and thus destroy its altar in my life. Lord tear down every false altar in my heart til there’s only one altar in my heart reserved for You.

Speak words of FREEDOM, not words of entrapment…your life hinges on it.

Pray Faith Vision

by Hazel Straub

Pray with faith filled vision, not fear filled eyes. Fear looks at the circumstances and prays the problem. This prayer receives more problems, in answer to how it was conceived and perceived. Faith, however, sees the solution and prays it. Many times, you have a heart’s desire. Pray the Holy Spirit conceived desire, believe and see it, in faith fulfilled. Your faith will become sight.

And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly]. Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.  For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]. (Mark 11:22-24 AMPC)

Ask God To Help You

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Can you do yourself a few favors today? Resign from trying to do things that only God is supposed to. Free yourself from the responsibility of making sure that everything and everyone is perfect; place the responsibility back on God.

Ask God to help you today, instead of trying to do things on your own. Quit holding yourself to standards that God isn’t even requiring of you (loose yourself). Retire from focusing on the problems and focus on the (God’s) promises. 

If you do these favors FOR YOU, life will be more favorable TO YOU.

Keys To Prosperity And Health

iur

by Hazel Straub

When your heart fills with childlike trust in God, there is no need to analyze and map the road. Fully depend on God, and not on your brilliance and intellect.

Honor God with your best. Show an attitude of gratitude and listen to his voice. Receive his correction and discipline and don’t despise it. Know he delights in you, his dear child and he causes you to prosper.

Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Don’t assume that you know it all.
Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
your very bones will vibrate with life!
Honor God with everything you own;
give him the first and the best.
Your barns will burst,
your wine vats will brim over.
But don’t, dear friend, resent God’s discipline;
don’t sulk under his loving correction.
It’s the child he loves that God corrects;
a father’s delight is behind all this.
(Proverbs 3:5-12 MSG)

God’s Word To You

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

There are some people who prey on the sympathy, of the weak. There are others, who only like you, when you’re doing or saying what they agree with. But then there are those whom make it a career in life, always looking for the worst, digging up dirt, or bringing up past sins, to always discredit someone in the eyes of others. However, when you know who you are (redeemed), and embrace who you are (approved of God), none of what they do or say matters.

What matters most is God’s Word in your life, it supersedes all sin, the past, and the opinions of mankind.

Trust God As Your Provider

trust2

by Hazel Straub

God says: “Trust me not your resources, job, abilities, reasoning or heritage. Nothing is too difficult for me. Did I not sustain the Israelites for 40 years in the wilderness? They had bread from heaven to eat and supernatural water. Their clothes and shoes did not wear out. I am the same yesterday, today and forever. I am your provision and there is no lack, when I am your source.”

And now I have it all—and keep getting more! The gifts you sent with Epaphroditus were more than enough, like a sweet-smelling sacrifice roasting on the altar, filling the air with fragrance, pleasing God no end. You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus. Our God and Father abounds in glory that just pours out into eternity. Yes. (Philippians 4:18-20 MSG)

Lord, Increase My Hunger And Thirst For You

by Hazel Straub

The Lord says: Do you have the same hunger for me as you have for food, possessions 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. Her breaking her alabaster box and pouring its costly precious perfume, on my head, was fragrant worship that remained with me, when I laid down my life for you. (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.

God’s Covenant Of Love

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

True Covenant is so much more than agreement. True covenant is fighting to keep covenant relationship with one another, instead of arguing who is wrong or who is right. I’m so elated that the Father is LOVE, he remains in covenant with us wrong or right, agreement or disagreement. 

Lord help us be more exemplary.
