Learning to trust God, especially after being hurt is a process. You give your hurt to him and he heals the broken pieces. Releasing not rehearsing the hurt, brings healing and wholeness.
Expose the hurt to the light and it heals quickly. Light casts out darkness. Live in the light. God is light!
While I am with you, it is daytime and we must do the works of God who sent me while the light shines. For there is coming a dark night when no one will be able to work. As long as I am with you my life is the light that pierces the world’s darkness.” Then Jesus spat on the ground and made some clay with his saliva. Then he anointed the blind man’s eyes with the clay. And he said to the blind man, “Now go and wash the clay from your eyes in the ritual pool of Siloam.” So he went and washed his face and as he came back, he could see for the first time in his life!

At Peace With Yourself!
by Apostle Gabriel Cross
Regardless, of what has happened, or could have or should have happened, God made you, gifted you, and ordained you, not people.
Content-Satisfied to the point that you are not disturbed. (Philippians 4:11-12)
Make peace with who “You” are today!

Listen, Obey, Prosper

by Hazel Straub
Great rapid change is upon you. Be prompt to listen and obey the voice of God, as he directs you on your journey. Quick response to his voice will save you much heartache. It will lead to pleasant pastures, while you rest in him and his leading.
But this thing I did command them: ‘Listen to and obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, so that it may be well with you. (Jeremiah 7:23 AMP)

How Deep Is Your Love For The Flawed?
by Apostle Gabriel Cross
Isn’t it strange how worshipers of God, can discern and expose the wrong that someone else is doing or has done, but can never discern and expose the wrong they’re doing or have done? The words that come out of their mouths usually define how false and shallow their worship is. However, how well you love others, (flaws and all), defines how true and deep your worship is.
Many say they worship and love Me but their “hearts” are far from Me… (Matthew 15:8)

The Best Is Found In Worship To God!

by Hazel Straub
The love of God for each one of us, predates our love for him. He loves and draws us to himself. His love is not based our good works or performance but on the finished sacrifice of his son, Jesus the Anointed One, to redeem us, from sin.
God takes great pleasure, when our heart and flesh give desperate cries for him and our mouths fill with gratitude and give him worship. This longing for him is satisfied, as we spend time in his presence, pour out our hearts and listen to his heart.
For just one day of intimacy with you is like a thousand days of joy rolled into one! I’d rather stand at the threshold in front of the Gate Beautiful, ready to go in and worship my God, than to live my life without you in the most beautiful palace of the wicked. For the Lord God is brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise! Wrapping himself around me like a shield, he is so generous with his gifts of grace and glory.
Those who walk along his paths with integrity will never lack one thing they need, for he provides it all! O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, what euphoria fills those who forever trust in you! (Psalm 84:10-12 TPT)

No Bitter Roots Expected!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross
You can’t EXPECT GOD and live in bitter roots of expectancy, at the same time. Sometimes, all you have is your expectancy. But with God, your expectancy will bring you into the movement and manifestation!

Set Free From Captivity
by Hazel Straub
Our God is a consuming fire and his fire will burn the dross, the things that you have wrestled with and not overcome. Get close to him, so you can be free from what is hindering you. He will set you free from captivity. Trust him, depend on him, and believe it is done!
Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you; I will save the limping [ones] and gather the outcasts and will make them a praise and a name in every land of their shame. [Mic. 4:6, 7.]At that time I will bring you in; yes, at that time I will gather you, for I will make you a name and a praise among all the nations of the earth when I reverse your captivity before your eyes, says the Lord. (Zephaniah 3:17-19 AMPC)

Difficulties And Faith In God
by Hazel Straub
Going through a trial? God gives us character tests. If we fail the first time, we will get to take the test again, until we pass. In this process, we are not alone because Holy Spirit is our helper. Take the time to listen and follow his instructions, so you can past the test.
God is full of mercy, grace, love and compassion. He wants us to pass the test! Have faith in God.
My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties, see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can! For you know that when your faith is tested it stirs up in you the power of endurance. And then as your endurance grows even stronger, it will release perfection into every part of your being until there is nothing missing and nothing lacking. (James 1:2-4 TPT)
