God Gives Our Identity

by Hazel Straub

God created each one uniquely, with destiny and identity. So often, the enemy comes in to steal, rob and destroy our God-given identity. Although we repeated the ditty, as children, “Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me,” this is not true. Spoken negative words from parents, authority figures, teachers, siblings, bullies, or others shaped our self-image and made us feel worthless, ashamed and stupid, due to their echo in our minds. These words wounded our mind, will, and emotions (heart), shaping how we perceived ourselves, stealing our God-given identity.

We did not recognize that the enemy of our souls, had come to try to destroy the treasure that God had placed inside of us. We believed a lie and shaped our identity based on falsehoods, trying to please people, not God. Then we rate our life, on circumstances, not God’s Word.

God, however, created us in his image. He said our creation was good. God gives us life, our identity and establishes our value. When we listen to his Word, we learn that our identity comes from him, not people. God says we are precious and he paid an unbelievable ransom, for us, with the life of his only begotten son, Jesus. This means we are extremely valuable.

Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother’s womb.
I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I’d even lived one day. (Psalms 139:13-16 MSG)

You’re Owed A Sevenfold Return

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

There is Glory on this from the court of Heaven. Everything that has been stolen from you is about to be returned to You. Whether it was recently or many years past, God has restoration on his mind, and he wants you to have restoration on yours. He highlighted this Scripture:

“Men do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; BUT IF HE BE FOUND, HE SHALL RESTORE SEVENFOLD; he shall give all the substance of his house.”
(Proverbs‬ ‭6:30-31 KJV‬)

Let us look at the meaning of the word restore:

Restore – To be safe in mind, body, and estate. To make completed. To Reciprocate, make amends, to give again, make good, repay again. Make prosperous, make restitution, reward, surely. Requite – to make repayment or return for; to make retaliation for (a wrong, injury, etc.); avenge. to make return to (a person, group, etc.)

Wow! This is what God makes the thief/devil do when you decree a SEVENFOLD RETURN.

Now let us look at the meaning of the word sevenfold:

Sevenfold – meaning quantity, to complete, fill full, have plenty of, satiate, fill to the full.

The number 7 means whole and complete, divine perfection, rest, and represents God’s completed acts. They are without number.

Many are its references in Scripture. God rested on the 7th day, after creation. The high priest sprinkled the blood on the mercy seat, 7 times, for complete redemption. Each time you fold—it is multiplied. 7 x 7= 49, 49 x 49 = 2401, 2401 x 2401 = 5,764,801 etc.

Wow! This is what the enemy has to repay to you, not just 7 but 7Fold. Christ is the King of kings because he made you and I a king. Therefore, kings in Christ, tell the devil, “Sevenfold is what you owe me and Sevenfold is what you shall return to me.”

Yahweh is making the devil make it up to you. When you look at what the devil has stolen from you and say, “I expect a Sevenfold Return, Today!”

Completely Embrace Yourself!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Stop fighting against yourself, and start loving yourself the way, the Father does.
Slow-suicide, self-sabotage, and self-hatred, are areas the enemy tries to deceive you.

Knowing this is unhealthy for me, this is harmful to my body or my future. It causes detriment to my body, mind, and emotions, but I do it anyway, is called slow-suicide, self-sabotage, and self-hatred.

Come out of agreement with the enemy and come into the love agreement, with the Father, concerning the wonderful, who you are, and your destiny.

It’s time to EMBRACE WHO YOU ARE, completely!

Blessings In God’s Presence

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

There are some things that you can’t get from the Strong’s exhaustive concordance, the Bullinger’s lexicon, a DVD series, the Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic, someone’s sermon, teaching or any other effort of mankind.

THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU CAN ONLY RECEIVE, BEING IN THE PURE FRESH WINESKIN PRESENCE, OF THE LORD…Selah

Faith Challenge!

by Hazel Straub

Most of us face faith challenges, at some point in our lives. If we meet the challenge, we end up much stronger.

The Prophet Elisha, in ancient Israel, was dying. King Jehoash (God has grasped you) came to visit. Elisha instructed the king to first shoot an arrow through the window. He was told it was an arrow of victory over Syria, Israel’s enemy.  The king shot one arrow. Then he was instructed to strike the ground, with the arrows, in a prophetic act of defeating the enemy.

The king lacked faith and only struck the ground three times. This was a lukewarm response, to the Word of God. Elisha was angry and told him there would only be three wins over the enemy. The enemy would not be destroyed.

We all have tests of faith. If you will believe God, you will see the enemy of your soul destroyed. Strike the arrows on the ground, many times, and see victory over the enemy of your soul! God wants to help you but you must cooperate with him and show faith. Stand strong, in the Word of God, and pass the challenge!

And Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows. And he took bow and arrows. And he said to the king of Israel, Put your hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it, and Elisha put his hands upon the king’s hands. And he said, Open the window to the east. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The Lord’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Syria. For you shall smite the Syrians in Aphek till you have destroyed them.

Then he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Strike on the ground. And he struck three times and stopped. And the man of God was angry with him and said, You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck down Syria until you had destroyed it. But now you shall strike Syria down only three times. (2 Kings 13:15-19 AMPC)

Pray Faith Filled Solutions!

by Hazel Straub

Pray with faith filled vision, not fear filled eyes. Fear looks at the circumstances and prays the problem. This prayer receives more problems, in answer to how it was conceived and perceived. Faith, however, sees the solution and prays it. Many times, you have a heart’s desire. Pray the Holy Spirit conceived desire, believe and see it, in faith fulfilled. Your faith will become sight.

And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly]. Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.  For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]. (Mark 11:22-24 AMPC)

God Rejoices Over You!

by Hazel Straub

Believers in Christ have their sins forgiven. The blood of Jesus washes us clean. He is our Savior.

Our Heavenly father delights in us and rejoices over us.  He does not even recall our sins, which we have turned away from and left. God sings and gives shouts of joy over you. His love surrounds you!

Rejoice with God over this marvelous truth!

The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17 AMPC)

God Will Not Forsake You

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

“Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!] (Hebrews 13:5 AMPC)

So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. (Joshua 1:5 AMPC) What can man do to me?  ( Joshua 1:5, Psalms 27:1;118:6)
