Redeemed!

by Hazel Straub

Daddy God rescued us from hopelessness and the power and authority of darkness, through his beloved Son, Christ Jesus. Only the power of God can redeem us from the darkness, into the kingdom of God. Jesus God’s Beloved Son, paid the price of our sin, by his blood, so we can live without guilt and enjoy the light of God. All glory to God!

He has rescued us completely from the tyrannical rule of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom realm of his beloved Son. For in the Son all our sins are canceled and we have the release of redemption through his very blood. (Colossians 1:13-14 TPT)

Be A Believer

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 believe-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!

The Love Of God . . .

by Hazel Straub

The Love Of God . . .

– Surpasses all of men’s love
– Comes into the deep crevices of the heart
– Knows no boundaries and has no limitations
– Gives, forgives, pardons and holds no grudges

– Changes hard, calloused and crusty hearts
– Softens and makes supple hardened lives
– Purifies, heals, delivers and performs miracles
– Makes enemies at peace with each other

– Brings new life, light, laughter, love
– Rejuvenates, renovates, revives, and refreshes
– Caring, compassionate, without other’s merit
– Good, not evil, rejoices in truth, without quitting

– Trusts God always not the circumstances
– Looks for the best and doesn’t keep score of others’ sins
– Doesn’t have a swollen head or strut its stuff
– Never looks back but keeps going and going . . .

Be imitators of God in everything you do,  for then you will represent your Father as his beloved sons and daughters. And continue to walk surrendered to the extravagant love of Christ, for he surrendered his life as a sacrifice for us. His great love for us was pleasing to God, like an aroma of adoration—a sweet healing fragrance. (Ephesians 5:1-2 TPT)

Trust The Lord And Glow With Health

34 Inspiring Bible Verses about Celebrating God's Goodness

by Hazel Straub

God calls us have faith and trust in him, not our intellectual abilities. Listen to his voice and keep him as your focus. This results in vibrant health, peaceful assurance  and a worry-free lifestyle, as you follow him.

“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!”
(Proverbs 3:5-8 MSG)

Decree Of Dying To My Flesh

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

I’m dying to myself. I’m dying to pride. I’m dying to the past. I’m dying to the enemy’s lies. I’m dying to the corrosion of shame. I’m dying to the harassment of fear. I’m dying to the bereavement of pain. I’m dying to the world’s influence, in my ear. I’m dying to the seduction, of self-inadequacy. I’m dying to the opinions of my flesh and others.

I’m dying to the mundane and living passively. BECAUSE I DIE, TO LIVE, TO LIVE FOREVER, with CHRIST!

Problems Bring Promise And Provision

by Hazel Straub

Faith is believing for something that you can’t see. Learn to see things from the perspective of heaven not earth because we are citizens of heaven, living on earth. Christ lives inside of believers and with him all things are possible. There is no negativity or frustration in heaven. With faith you can see with the eyes of Jesus.

The size of the problem is the size of the promise and provision. Your circumstances give you an opportunity to think like Jesus. We are called to become more like him. He has conquered everything and sits with you, high above all the powers of darkness. Every challenge and obstacle are merely there to elevate and upgrade you. The problem is not our circumstances but how we think and look at it. Don’t ask the question, why me? This is a victim question.

If you don’t think like Jesus, you will think with fear, doubt and unbelief. Instead, ask Jesus what he wants for you. Know he never leaves you and is good. He wants you to depend on him, not your circumstances. He grants you favor, goodness, power and turns everything for your good. Believe it!

Daddy God, you are in charge and you reign. There are somethings in front of me that I haven’t broken through. Let me see with your eyes and have a higher walk with Holy Spirit, with an elevation upgrade, in my thinking. Captivate my heart  with your love, so I can live fulfilled in you.  Thank you for making me more like your son, Jesus.

You, Lord, reign forever;
your throne endures from generation to generation.
(Lamentations 5:19 NIV)

Declaration To Your Freedom

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Speak this audibly over yourself today, guaranteed to RELEASE FREEDOM!

I repent this morning to myself, for having belief in everyone else but not within myself. I repent for seeing the value in others and valuing them, but acting oblivious to my own value and devaluing myself.

I repent for waiting on a person to help me complete an assignment, God anointed and told me to. I repent for putting my life, my giftings, and blessings on hold, for someone else or something someone said.

I repent for rejecting myself, for drinking self-hatorade, for self-judging, and condemning myself because of the past. I repent for holding myself and others hostage to the past.

I repent for comparing myself, belittling what You’ve given me, and second guessing your VOICE WITHIN ME. I repent for giving people and their opinions of me, more power over my life, than YOUR POWERFUL LIFE-CHANGING WORD TO ME. I repent for doubting myself, dishonoring myself, and for thinking that I was a failure. I repent for not respecting myself by allowing others to disrespect me and abuse me repeatedly.

I repent for rejecting those out of my own rejection and for hurting those out of my own hurt, that You sent to accept, heal, and lovingly, correct me.

I repent for missing opportunities and disobeying Your voice out of fear, pride, and procrastination. I AM Delivered from the palsy of fear (that paralyzes my faith, weakens me with doubt so that I can’t move in the things of God). I AM Healed from the blindness of unbelief. (When I can’t see it, so I disobey and do what I can see.) I AM Delivered from the cancer of lust (NO LONGER Holding things against people, because if I don’t forgive Yahweh, won’t forgive me.) I AM Delivered from the Deafness of indifference, (thinking that I’m right when I’m wrong, causing apathy towards the place and things Yahweh has ordained for me and the hearing of TRUTH.)

I AM Healed from the Lunacy of rationalism (leaning to one’s own intellect or understanding instead of Jehovah’s and not trusting him withal my heart). I AM Healed from the Leprosy of worldliness, (acting like the world; liking someone until finding a flaw, then abandoning or slandering them orally, as if I were flawless.) I AM Delivered from the Waste of consumption, (no longer consuming everything that isn’t edifying or healthy for me.)

Now, I AM GIVING BIRTH TO THE MIRACULOUS. I AM A SIGN AND A WONDER, AND SIGNS AND WONDERS ACCOMPANY ME DAILY. THROUGH CHRIST, I HAVE INHERENT POWER AND ABILITY, THE SUPERNATURAL WORKING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT MANIFOLD MIRACLES AND GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. BY YOUR GRACE, I HAVE THE POWER BEYOND MY ABILITY TO PERFORM. I AM LIVING IN THE HIGH STATE OF EXPECTANCY! I AM BEING MADE WHOLE AND NOTHING AND NO ONE CAN BREAK ME! I AM POSSESSING MY LAND, ESTABLISHING MY TERRITORY, AND DISTRIBUTING GOD’S GLORY TO THE NATIONS! I repent for rejecting YOUR VISION OF ME, YOUR THOUGHTS TO PROSPER ME, AND YOUR UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR ME.

From this day forth, I will no longer live in the quicksand of regret, but in the rivers of Your joy and the oceans of your grace. I will no longer live in the prisons of the past, but in the freedom of Your expected end and unlimited promising future. I will no longer live at the expense of what others think of me, but by every Word that proceeds from Your mouth, whom has only the best for me. THIS DAY, I embrace who I am wholeheartedly, unapologetically promise to enjoy my life, and fulfill my purpose on purpose in Christ,

Amen. Amen and amen.
