Weary And Tired?

by Hazel Straub

What defines you? Is it your failures or successes? Everyone fails at some time. See what you can learn from it and move forward. Thomas Edison failed the first 1000 times before he successfully invented the light bulb. He made the choice to see the failures, as steps towards reaching his goal. Fear paralyzes, however, a change of perspective brings success, when we rely on God, as our provider and help. We choose how we view life.

Your attitude determines the outcome. Focus your eyes on Jesus, not the problems. When you fall, get back up, let Jesus encourage you and move forward.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.  Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won’t become weary and give up. (Hebrews 12:1-3 NLT)

Live As Redeemed!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

It isn’t enough to know you’re redeemed, live as the redeemed. When the enemy reminds you of your past, remind him of your blood redemption.

Do Not Be Afraid!

Fear Not!!!

by Hazel Straub

What is really happening in our world? There is so much more to this life than what our physical eyes see. Ancient Israel had a prophet named Elisha, who would tell the Israelite king, where the enemy planned to attack. The attack would then be unsuccessful. (2 Kings 6: 8-23) The enemy king thought he had a traitor but learned it was the prophet of God, who was told by God, what the enemy king said, in his bedroom. So the enemy sent his troops to surround the city where Elisha was, as they hoped to capture him. Elisha’s servant was afraid when he saw the city surrounded, by an army with horses and chariots.

 “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. (2 Kings 6:16-17 NIV)

Elisha was not worried because of his close relationship with God and dependence on him. He prayed and the enemy soldiers became blind and were led into the city. They got their sight back and were sent home. Then the raids from that enemy ceased.

Know that God protects us with angel armies that are greater than those with the enemy. Press into God in greater intimacy, listening to his Word, praying and listening for his response. Believers do not need to fear because God is for us and turns the bad into good. God is the same today as yesterday and forever. He loves, protects, speaks, helps, and answers today.

Lord, open our eyes so we may see the truth! God is with you.

God Watches Over You!

by Hazel Straub

No matter what emotions you feel, God loves each one and has angels working on your behalf. Many times we walk through life and do not realize how many times our lives are spared. Even in difficult times, God’s protective hand works on your behalf, even though you might not perceive it.

The enemy of our souls, according to Jesus in John 10:10, comes to steal, kill, and destroy but Jesus gives us life more abundantly. He preserves us in the midst of a pandemic, from evil, and provides us with his tender care. Our lives are preserved, until our earth time is completed.

Thank you Daddy God, for your tender care and for sending angels to protect and preserve us!

Are not all the angels ministering spirits sent out [by God] to serve (accompany, protect) those who will inherit salvation? [Of course they are!] (Hebrews 1:14 AMP)

And Suddenly…

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

…and SUDDENLY it Came to Pass. (Isaiah 48:3)

God has some SUDDENLIES coming from the HEAVENLIES to you!

I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.

Facing Difficulties?

by Hazel Straub

Seasons mark our life with variety, filled with joy, celebration, trials, sadness, and hope. When it seems that we experience the bitter, God always gives us his sweet love and mercy. If we experience health challenges, we cry out to him and the sweetness of his comforting healing presence, envelops us. Our relationships may crumble, when friends leave us, the sweetness of close friendship with Jesus counters the bitter. Losing one’s job and experiencing provision from unexpected sources, show the bitter with the sweet of God My Provider. Even bitter herbs, improve digestion, calm inflammation and bring healing.

Although the pressure might be severe, it causes the character of Jesus to develop. Diamonds are formed under great pressure and pearls form from irritants. Rejoice, the bitter works for your good and makes you beautiful inside and outside, so Jesus shines from you!

Don’t run from tests and hardships, brothers and sisters. As difficult as they are, you will ultimately find joy in them; if you embrace them, your faith will blossom under pressure and teach you true patience as you endure. And true patience brought on by endurance will equip you to complete the long journey and cross the finish line—mature, complete, and wanting nothing. (James 1:2-4 MSG)

God’s Blessings And Favor

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Thank Yahweh that all the blessings and favor he placed on your life, is not predicated on the jealous hearts, grudge holdings, toxic emotions, negative opinions, derogatory remarks, pharisaical judgments, false assumptions, false accusations, and destructive criticisms of others. Some people act, as if they have the patent, on Yahweh blessing you. Please, don’t put anyone in the place where only God is supposed to be. You cannot help it that God FAVORS You because HE LOVES YOU…Selah

Tempted To Quit?

by Hazel Straub

It is easy to get discouraged but if you don’t quit you win. Some resign prematurely, thinking that God won’t forgive or use them because of past failures. They then fail to press into God. Persist, get up, and continue, focus on Jesus not your issues. He is your help, strength, and refuge. He gives you new vision to conquer fear and his grace is sufficient for today.

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.(2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NLT)
