Your past does not disqualify you. As you learn about his great love for you and how he created you in his image, your life will change. Accept his amazing invitation. Come to him, praise him, listen to his heart for you, and let his love transform and heal your hurts. You will become more like him, as you spend time in his presence. Allow Daddy God to love you.

Unity In Christ

by Hazel Straub

Divided we fall but when we are united nothing is too difficult. A favorite tactic of the enemy is to divide and conquer. Contention and strife brings rebellion, alienation and disaster.

After the Biblical flood, God told the people to scatter across the world and to be fruitful and multiply. The people did not want to do this and instead built a city and tower in defiance and rebellion. But the Lord came down to look at the city and the tower the people were building. “Look!” he said. “The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them! Come, let’s go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won’t be able to understand each other.” (Genesis 11:5-7 NLT)

With their unity, nothing would be impossible for them. Approximately 2,000 years later, 120 disciples of Jesus were united together, in obedience to his instructions, to wait in Jerusalem until they received power from on High. All of them were united in prayer, gripped with one passion, interceding night and day.(Acts 1:14b TPT) Because of their unity in prayer and focus on God the impossible happened. On the Feast of Pentecost, Holy Spirit came with fire and a sound like a rushing wind to this group. They were transformed and went outdoors where the people heard the believers speaking in their native languages. 3,000 people turned from their sins, believed in Jesus and were baptized. Afterwards the world was transformed by the unity of the believers in Jesus.

They went from fearful to world changers. Their focus was seeking God, in one accord. Being one in seeking the face of God, will change a city, a nation and the world!

Spiritual Retirement From Yahweh’s Job!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

When we say that we give something to The Lord, we have to completely let it go, so that He can completely work. It entails letting it go emotionally, mentally, and heart-wise. This requires aggression against the enemy and all his imps (such as worry, fear, stress, anxiety, restlessness, sleeplessness, etc). It seems that sometimes we just give, but not to the Lord. Other times we just give a little, but not completely to Yahweh. Giving involves us relinquishing, transferring, handing it over, and delegating it to the Father. He is more than capable and willing to take care of it ALL. When you truly give it to Yahweh, then your conversations and actions will demonstrate that you’re TRUSTING Him with it.

Yahweh is calling us into spiritual retirement, from the things only HE IS SUPPOSED TO DO. Therefore, in order for us to be completely RESTORED, we must REST in HIS CARE, in lieu of being restless, by the cares of this world. Turn in your resignation TODAY. It’s not your responsibility anyway, it’s His. REST, by doing yourself a favor, your health, your body, your emotions, your mind, your heart, and turn everything in HOLY ABANDONMENT TO THE FATHER!

Signed RESIGNED to the DIVINE…Selah

Ready For Sudden Change?

by Hazel Straub

Are you ready for change? Frustrated and waiting for more of God, in your life? The disciples of Jesus had watched him ascend into heaven, after he told them to wait in Jerusalem, until they received power from on High. Jesus had given his life, was buried and resurrected on the third day. He had appeared to many after his resurrection, including his disciples.

Waiting is difficult, especially when you do not know the time something will happen. There were about 120 disciples meeting in unity, praying and seeking God. The eleven disciples of Jesus, who were close to him, had all deserted him at the crucifixion except for John. This experience had humbled them and they knew they needed something more, in order to accomplish their destinies as world changers. Although they did not know the exact timing, their focus was on God and seeking him.

Suddenly, everything changed by fire, with an empowerment of Holy Spirit. Transformation brought them into the streets, where the people had gathered at the sound of a roaring sound, like a mighty wind. (This was a feast to the Lord, that required all Jewish men to come to Jerusalem to celebrate and there were Jews from many nations. It was the time of the wheat harvest, the giving of the 10 commandments, and the anniversary of the marriage of Israel to Yahweh.) It was 50 days after the Feast of Passover, when Jesus had been killed by the religious leaders. Not the time that man would choose for a new hope and the birth of the Body of Believers in Jesus.

Suddenly, Holy Spirit transformed the believers in Jesus and they were never the same again. They went from fearful to bold and spoke the good news of redemption from sin with the blood of Jesus, by repentance and turning back to God. The new believers also received Holy Spirit and were transformed.

Happy Pentecost! Anticipate your suddenly, where everything changes, for good!

On the day Pentecost was being fulfilled, all the disciples were gathered in one place. Suddenly they heard the sound of a violent blast of wind rushing into the house from out of the heavenly realm. The roar of the wind was so overpowering it was all anyone could bear! Then all at once a pillar of fire appeared before their eyes. It separated into tongues of fire that engulfed each one of them.They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit and were inspired to speak in tongues—empowered by the Spirit to speak in languages they had never learned! (Acts 2:1-4 TPT)

Strength To Wait

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

You will not break down but the Lord will break you through. God cares and has compassion for you. He has you and will not let you go. Be encouraged in the Lord, in his strength and his might.

Wait and ask the Lord to give you the strength, to wait. The Lord wants to hear your heart. Bring your heart to him for healing and restoration. Listen for his heart and see his provision.

Faith–Believe God

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 conquered all darkness and sits with you, high above all the powers of darkness. (Ephesians 2:6) 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 the situation. 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 triumphant in you.  All the glory is yours!
Amen

Everything we could ever need for life and complete devotion to God has already been deposited in us by his divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing him who has called us by name and invited us to come to him through a glorious manifestation of his goodness. (2 Peter 1:3 TPT)

Love In Abundance

 

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

When one holds back and withholds, one holds up and hinders one’s blessings.
When one sows and releases, one frees up and releases one’s blessings.

When one has a love deficit, one says, “I can’t afford to give right now.”
When one has love in abundance, one says, “I can’t afford not to give right now.”

Faith works by love…Selah

Rest My Dearest Child

by Hazel Straub

My Dearest Child,

Unload and cast all the weight of your cares, worries, fretting, and all anxiety that you carry, onto me. It is time to get rid of all the burdens. Release the responsibility for handling everything and everyone that troubles and concerns you, to me, Daddy God.

Cease your striving, struggling, and working so hard, in your own strength. Rest in me, while I work on your behalf. Relax and snuggle close, resting your head over my heart.  Receive my presence, peace, provision, refreshment,  and restoration, while you rest in me.

Love you so much,
Daddy God

“Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Then come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me.” (Matthew 11:28-29 TPT)

Fiery Trials Are Good Or Bad?

by Hazel Straub

Is fire good or bad, when you are in it? When in the middle of the fire, with trials and tests, it does not seem good. In this season, we find the shakeable crumbling, so what is solid, reliable, and unshakeable, will remain. Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe. For our God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:28-29 BSB)

Many things on which we relied, ended exposed as shifting sands. What the foolish man builds, will not stand in the storm and hurricane because the foundation is unstable. However, what is built with wisdom, on God, will last despite the storms and shakings.

Three young Jewish men, were taken captive to a foreign land. We read about them in Daniel chapter 3. They refused to bow and worship a large golden statue and other false gods. They were thrown into the fiery furnace that was heated seven times hotter than usual. They wore their hats, cloaks and other garments, when bound and thrown into the furnace. Those throwing then in died from the heat but the three men only had what bound them burn. The king saw a fourth man in the fire, who looked like the Son of God, walking with the other three men. The fire consumes what causes bondage in your life.

They walked out of the fire not smelling of smoke, with all their clothing and hats undamaged. The king was amazed how God was with them and protected them. When you come out of this trial of isolation, sheltering, and many losses, what is of God will remain. You will have more of the presence of God and will influence others of the reality of God, who walks with you through fiery trials. Your end will be better than your beginning!

For hasn’t he promised you, “I will never leave you alone, never! And I will not loosen my grip on your life!” So we can say with great confidence: “I know the Lord is for me and I will never be afraid of what people may do to me!” (Hebrews 13:5b-6 TPT)
