Focus On The Results

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

The Lord has massaged our spiritual muscles, from where we have battled. He has released all the tension, all the stress and all the frustration. He has released us from worrying and focusing on the details. I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying, “Focus on the results, not the details.” The Lord says, “No more arriving to details but you are going to arrive to the results. You are going to arrive to your destiny. You are going to reside to that expected end.”

The Lord gave me an example of how many, many times we will say, “God give us a word or a desire.” As we pursue that desire, goal, dream, vision or whatever the Lord has given or spoken to us, we start thinking. “I need this, I need money for that. How will I do that?”

God says, “I am wiping and massaging away from you, the focus on the details. No more focus on the details. You stay focused on the results, the expected end, the dream, the goal that I have placed within you. Keep your eyes on the prize, the mark, the high calling of Christ Jesus. Do not be religious because I have given you these goals. I have given you these dreams. It is okay for you to be focusing on what I gave you because it is me.”

The Lord reminded me that we need to let go of some religious clichés. There is one we have overplayed and overrated: “It is not about you, it is not about us.” But the Lord said, “Jesus died for you.” Jesus died for who? He died for us. This means you are of great importance and special to the Father. Your concerns are the Father’s concerns. The Lord is serious about your destiny. The Lord is serious about our destiny! He is the destiny mender.

New Unfamiliar Season

by Hazel Straub

This season of time is new and unfamiliar. The challenge is to walk in the new, leave the old familiar ways of thinking and doing things, It is time to discard the old familiar garments of the sinful nature, with its stinking mental and emotional garbage, sinful self-absorption, self-interest, pursuit of pleasures of the flesh, and how you conducted yourself. Yield to God’s Spirit, as you wear the fresh new clothes of abundant life, with humility and love.

Live God’s way and he gives you good fruit that transforms your life. He gives us compassion, for others in our hearts, bubbling joy, great affection for others and wholeness. When we are in Christ, everything connected with getting our own way and living for our flesh’s pleasure, we kill, nailing them to the cross of Jesus. We wear our new outlook and clothes! Holy Spirit leads and we follow into amazing life transformation, of prosperity and blessing.

“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.” (Galatians 5:22-26 NLT)

Worshippers Of The Father!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Don’t worship, worship (a certain form, routine, genre or personal preference). Worship the Father…Selah

Ye worship ye know not what we know we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:22-24 KJV)

Trust God And His Correction

by Hazel Straub

Cease from your labors, my child. Trust me, submit to me in all your ways and obey my Word. I am calling you to live at a higher level. You need to listen and obey for there is no other way to advance in my kingdom.

I am stirring things up inside of you and showing you what has been hidden underneath your nice facade. Turn from your sin, confess it and let me cleanse you from all unrighteousness. The blood of my Son cleanses you. Submit to me, as the first and final authority in your life. It is time to humble yourself in total heart submission. Embrace my correction because it is for your good.

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.
Then you will find the healing refreshment
your body and spirit long for.
Glorify God with all your wealth,
honoring him with your firstfruits,
with every increase that comes to you.
Then every dimension of your life will overflow with blessings
from an uncontainable source of inner joy!

My child, when the Lord God speaks to you,
never take his words lightly,
and never be upset when he corrects you.
For the Father’s discipline comes only
from his passionate love and pleasure for you.
Even when it seems like his correction is harsh,
it’s still better than any father on earth gives to his child. (Proverbs 3:5-12 TPT)

Is Your Love Account Overdrawn?

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Our insufficiency is due to our love deficiency. Our love account is in the negative, when we do not love each other like Christ loves us. Therefore, no matter what we say, what we believe, and what we do, we are bankrupt without LOVE . . .

Change Your Focus! Rejoice!

by Hazel Straub

Change your focus! Do not fear the storms that swirl around you. Look not at the storms but direct your thoughts to Yahweh and worship me with your whole heart.

Receive and rejoice in the rain that the storm produces. This rain gives vital moisture for the areas in your life that are dry and parched, making you receptive to all that I have for you. The cleansing rain restores and revives your heart. Rejoice, I hear your cries and groans, the pleas, to receive from heaven. It’s a new day, my rain refreshes and cleanses you!  

Let joy be your continual feast. Make your life a prayer. And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 TPT)

Listen To God With Your Heart

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

If we will only take the time, to Listen, we will hear the voice of the Lord. Listen with your heart and not your head. Sometimes we experience clouded hearing  because of blockages within our hearts. As long as our hearts are pure and focused, we will hear the Father’s voice purely and clearly.

Father, renew me, in the spirit of my mind, and transform my heart to yours. Let my life and all that I do, sing praise, glory, and honor to You.

No More Separation But Unity

by Hazel Straub

Fear of harm can cause one to try to protect themselves from harm. When one is hurt by others, it is easy to isolate oneself so one will no longer be vulnerable to further offense or injury. In isolation, one is well defended from hurt by others. It is resolved that no one will ever be able to batter, bruise, damage, distress, or disturb again because one has gone to a well-defended place to say, “Never again!” However, isolation does not heal or bring unity.

A clarion call from God goes forth, “No more isolation, separation between others or groups but instead celebration. No more suspicion of others and their motives. The season of isolation of others, so you will not get hurt, has ended!.”

In this new season, there will be no placating or pleading with God. It is time to celebrate the victory, over the adversary of our souls, separation from others is finished. Jesus says, “Celebrate my victory with me.” He himself carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we would be dead to sin and live for righteousness. Our instant healing flowed from his wounding. (1 Peter 2:24 TPT)

Shake off the ashes of mourning and put on a celebration bash. I have given you the oil of joy, for the spirit of heaviness. “I am sent to announce a new season of Yahweh’s grace and a time of God’s recompense on his enemies, to comfort all who are in sorrow, to strengthen those crushed by despair who mourn in Zion—to give them a beautiful bouquet in the place of ashes, the oil of bliss instead of tears, and the mantle of joyous praise instead of the spirit of heaviness.” (Isaiah 62:2-3 TPT) Celebrate my goodness to you and praise Yahweh!”

Love Is The Strongest

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

The only thing stronger than death is LOVE. It wasn’t the spikes in his hands and feet that held him to the cross, but too much LOVE for you and me. LOVE is the strongest!
