My Heart Worship

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Worship is only a verb, when our heart is in it. Regardless, of what the world says or how the enemy is trying to paint your picture remind him, “I believe in something More!” God is my more than enough.  He is more than the whole world against me. Who can be against me, when I know God is for me?

Lord, your worship is in my heart because my heart is in You.

Blessing For You Today

by Hazel Straub

This blessing is spoken over all of you, today.

Yahweh, your covenant keeping God of your present, kneels before you, his beloved child, as Daddy God, presenting you with gifts that includes all you need. He demonstrates his love for you and listens to you.

Yahweh, your covenant keeping God of today, places a hedge around you, to guard and protect, so you will not fear because he watches over you.

Yahweh, your covenant keeping God of your now, turns his face towards you and dispels the darkness, as his warmth and light accepts your emotions, personality, moods, and all expression of your uniqueness. His life and light brings order into your life.

Yahweh accompanies you today, as Daddy God, to comfort, heal, help, sustain, strengthen, rescue, and guide you. Yahweh provides you with his unconditional love, friendship and help.

Yahweh lifts up his wholeness of being and looks at you, because you are his beloved child. Yahweh sets in place all that you need to be whole and complete with nothing broken or missing.

Receive this blessing!

This is the blessing which Aaron was instructed to bless the Israelites. It is still used today and spoken in Hebrew.  (May the Lordbless you and protect you.  May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.  Numbers 6:24-26 NLT)

Relationship Troubles?

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

I asked Yahweh, “Why do we have so many unresolved issues in marriages and relationships?”

He responded, “Quit rehashing the problems or you will become one with the problem. When you constantly rehearse the issues, you become married to the issues, instead of the person. You become one with their issues, instead of becoming one with the person. In lieu of the person being on your mind, passionately and perpetually, the person’s flaws or issues are always on your mind.”

“My remedy is forgiveness. Forgiveness is abandoning the offense and embracing in love, ‘The person.’ Meaning let it go, no longer carrying it or keeping it as a pet. Forgiveness causes reviving and healing in the relationship. If you don’t forgive, unforgiveness results in you becoming loyal to the problem and not to the person, which progresses to playing the ‘blame game.’”

“The blame game is laced in the spirit of condemnation. (Matthew 12:37; Luke 6:37; Romans 8:1; 1 John 3:20-23) One usually condemns another person, because one is condemned already in their heart concerning something else. Therefore, when you play the blame game, no one ever wins because no one is fighting to LOVE, only fighting to BLAME, or fighting to be RIGHT. If you prize being right in your relationship, more than the person you are in relationship with, then LOVE will be estranged in your relationship.”

“No one wants to submit to LOVE. You have to submit to LOVE first, before you can submit to each other. Learn to embrace and celebrate your differences. Stop seeing and being bitter towards one another, start seeing and being better for each other. Seek Me for wisdom in how to be a blessing to the one you’re in covenant with. Remember, you cannot change anyone, that is my occupation,” says the Lord.

“Therefore, regardless to the person’s flaws, vice, or issue you have with them, refuse to be in the place where only ‘I, Jehovah,’ am supposed to be in their life. Divorce the past, so you can marry a better future with the person you’re in covenant with. FIGHT TO LOVE, don’t fight to be right”…Selah

Our Mouth Reveals Our Heart

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

People usually don’t know what is in someone’s heart, until that someone opens their mouth revealing it. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. We need the abundance of God’s love, in our hearts so we can reveal to the world, the love of the Father.

What Is Your Response To Trouble?

by Hazel Straub

When life is cold and stormy, relationships tested and fraying, betrayed, short of money, sick and tired, do you despair or see these circumstances, as opportunities? Two people can face the same challenges but view them completely differently. One despairs, loses heart, grows bitter feeling victimized, throws a self-pity party and shakes their fists in frustration. They relied on their own wit, strength and strategies, without success. The other one looks and sees the stage set for major change, due to God’s intervention. This one, dies to their flesh, pride, and independent ways. Instead they envision troubles as an opportunity and expect God to shine and get the glory. It is at the darkest hour that they see how only God can deal with the insurmountable problems, healing, restoring, and bringing new life.

Troubles can be the catalyst for personal, family, church, city and national new life. Restoration and revival happen when God’s people unite in humbling themselves, change their minds and turn away from their sins, cry out to God for mercy and seek him with all their hearts, putting him first. Your response brings either life or death.

“If I ever shut off the supply of rain from the skies or order the locusts to eat the crops or send a plague on my people, and my people, my God-defined people, respond by humbling themselves, praying, seeking my presence, and turning their backs on their wicked lives, I’ll be there ready for you: I’ll listen from heaven, forgive their sins, and restore their land to health.” (2 Chronicles 7:13–14 MSG)

Nevertheless Love

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Love is the nevertheless, it is always more than what we would do naturally.

Lord, I need more of your love working in my heart, not just the knowledge of it in my head. Make the Love transfer…Selah

Forgiveness Of Others And Oneself Heals

by Hazel Straub

Forgiveness means releasing the resentment, bitterness, blame, hostility, hatred, anger and fear that you have towards someone who has transgressed against you or even against yourself. It also means to cancel the need to punish the offender. Releasing the offender from your judgment, allows God to deal with the offender. Forgiving yourself for your mistakes, gets rid of self condemnation and allows you to receive all the blessings God has for you! Forgiveness is an act of the will, not an emotion.

When we do not forgive, however, we rehearse the wrongs and dwell in the poison, we intend for others. Often, when we haven’t forgiven, we engage in negative thoughts and emotions and relive the trauma, without any resolution. Unforgiveness adds high stress to one’s body and mind that opens one up for chronic physical disease or mental torment and mental illness. The cost of unforgiveness is extremely costly to one’s self.

When we accept Jesus as our Savior, our sins are forgiven. In order to receive forgiveness, however, we need to cancel the debt owed us, by others. If we do not release the offender, we stew in our own bitterness and anger that we want the offender to drink. This bitter root grows and effects not only the one living, as a victim but also those in relationship with them.  (“…lest any root of bitterness spring up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.” Hebrews 12:15)

Jesus told a parable about a king in Matthew 18:23-25 who had a servant who owed him millions of dollars and couldn’t repay the debt. The servant asked for mercy and the king had compassion and cancelled the debt. Then the servant went to a fellow servant and demanded payment for a lessor debt of a few dollars and refused to have mercy and threw him in prison until the debt was paid. When the king learned of this, he threw the unforgiving servant in prison and delivered him to the tormentors. Jesus said we would have the same treatment, if we did not forgive others from our heart. When we forgive, we become victorious with no place for the enemy to steal, destroy and kill us. Our prayers reach God unhindered and we can enjoy living, without the regret and shame of reliving the past and never healing.

Heart Therapy

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

What Yahweh has placed within you cannot be contained or restricted, it must be shared and distributed. What the Father has given you is greater than where you are and where you have been. It’s not geography therapy but heart therapy. The more our hearts are changed everything about us changes.

Most people who are not being REAL, never get HEALED. They never get HEALED because they will not be REAL about how they REALLY FEEL. Yahweh IS RAISING UP A NATION OF IMPERFECT PEOPLE who will REALLY WORSHIP AND REALLY LOVE HIM WITHAL their HEARTS. So today, please don’t just go to church and have church, but be the CHURCH in POWER AND DEMONSTRATION.

Yahweh doesn’t desire a Sunday affair but worship that is a lifestyle (how we treat each other Monday-Saturday). Most of us are used to worship out of a discipline (someone telling us what to do or what’s on the projector screen). But Yahweh wants us to worship out of a LOVE AFFAIR (because you love JESUS). When we change, God sees change as worship, therefore, worship isn’t just what you do but WORSHIP IS WHO YOU ARE…SELAH

Fashioned In The Likeness of Jesus

iur

by Hazel Straub

I AM fashioning you into my likeness. Do not resist the process. Although it may seem painful, as my knife cuts off parts that impede my beauty in you, embrace it. I am chiseling, sanding and fashioning you, to uniquely show my light to others, who do not know me. Embrace the process because others will no longer see you but the Anointed One shining out of you.

Light shine and cast out the darkness!

“Your lives light up the world. For how can you hide a city that stands on a hilltop? 15And who would light a lamp and then hide it in an obscure place? Instead, it’s placed where everyone in the house can benefit from its light. 16So don’t hide your light! Let it shine brightly before others, so that your commendable works will shine as light upon them, and then they will give their praise to your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16 TPT)
