Trials Lead To God Dependence

by Hazel Straub

Have you gone through difficult times in your life? The only solution, is to press into God and get his perspective on our challenges. God wants us to lean into him, gain his wisdom, grace and mercy for the day. Oftentimes, we sail through life, without depending on God and developing a close relationship with him until the storm hits. Then the trials cause us cry out to God and seek him. God wants us to depend on him and to rely on his strength, drawing near to him, in both good and hard circumstances.

My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can! For you know that when your faith is tested[a] it stirs up power within you to endure all things. And then as your endurance grows even stronger it will release perfection into every part of your being until there is nothing missing and nothing lacking. (James 1:2-4 TPT)

You Are Sovereign

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

You have the power to influence the earth, little god. You are Sovereign because God made you Sovereign.

I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. (Psalm 82:6 KJV)

The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken. (John 10-33-35 KJV)

Thankfulness And Joy In God

by Hazel Straub

When we believe and live in Jesus Christ, we have joy no matter what our circumstances. All our experiences sift through God’s hands of love. He gives good things to us every day, as we listen to him and pray. Thankfulness to God for everything, transforms our lives when we live in Christ.

Let joy be your continual feast. Make your life a prayer. And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-19 TPT)

Reset Your Mind!

by Hazel Straub

Every morning our mind needs resetting and recalibration. We do this by getting God’s perspective on our day. Get in the Word of God and ask the Holy Spirit to change you from the inside. Pray and listen to God. No longer being driven by fear, doubt and unbelief but by having the mind of Christ and living in him. Change and reset your viewpoint to agree with God!

Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes. (Romans 12:2 TPT)

Hear Counsel

by Hazel Straub

God is always speaking but we are not always listening. He speaks in the Word of God and we gain wisdom, when we study and mediate on it. He also sends us wise counsel and correction for our benefit. When we listen, submit and obey instruction, life goes better for each one of us.

Hear counsel, receive instruction, and accept correction, that you may be wise in the time to come. Many plans are in a man’s mind, but it is the Lord’s purpose for him that will stand. (Proverbs 19:20-21 AMPC)

Out Of The Heart The Mouth Speaks

by Hazel Straub

Out of your heart (your mind and reasoning, will and emotions) the mouth speaks. If you have unhealed hurts that fester, what comes out of your mouth is negative. When you allow the trauma, drama and past hurts to be healed, in the light of God, your speech will show God’s light, life and love.

The good person out of the good treasury of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasury produces evil, for his mouth speaks from what fills his heart. (Luke 6:45 NET)

Guard Your Mouth!

by Hazel Straub

Sometimes we pray and ask God for certain blessings, only to ruin it, by what we later say. Unguarded words can stream out of our mouth and bring destruction. Pausing to stop and think, guarding our speech before opening our mouth will bring life.

We create our world  by what we speak. God created us in his image. He spoke and created the world. What we speak will bring blessings or curses.

The one who guards his mouth preserves his life; The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. (Proverbs 13:3 NASB)

The Power Of Jesus’ Blood

by Hazel Straub

Evil cannot be covered up by painting it another color. Even if a house looks good on the outside, it can still have evil inside.

The removal of evil happens when we repent (change mind and purpose of how we live, have a hatred of the sin, turning to God). Our way of thinking must change from evil deeds. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from sin, when applied. We can have our mind renewed as we read the Word of God and focus on pleasing him.

Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes! Cease to do evil,learn to do right! Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool. (Isaiah 1:16-18 AMPC)

The Love of God

by Hazel Straub

When people treat you poorly, do not respond the same way. Instead release the love of God to them. It will disarm them and change the atmosphere. You may see them become your cheerleader. Nothing is a better weapon against the enemy of our souls, than the love of God!

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! (Galatians 5:22-23 NLT)
