Keep Your Focus On Jesus

by Hazel Straub

Keep your attention and focus on the main thing. We are in a long race and cannot afford to get distracted. Jesus must have our focus, gaze and attention. Having problems? Give them to him. He is your problem solver and intercedes for you, with Father God. We, believers in Jesus, are his joy.

Happy or sad? Praise Jesus, with a thankful heart of worship, throughout your day. It will keep you attention on what is most important,and lighten your load.

Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:1-2 NHEB)

Fear Not!

by Hazel Straub

Daddy God tells us, “Fear not for I am with you.” His perfect love encompasses us and casts out all fear. He is our God and has given us all that we need. When we could not save ourselves, he sent his only begotten Son, Jesus, to buy our salvation, deliverance, prosperity and health, with his precious blood. We have a new identity through Jesus. He accompanies us throughout life and we have no need to fear the circumstances.

We celebrate our victory over fear because of Daddy God’s love for us. He gives us the victory through his love and we dwell in his presence.

Do not fear [anything], for I am with you;
Do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you;
I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’(Isaiah 41:10 AMP)

The Mouth Of The River

by Hazel Straub

He who believes in Me (Jesus) [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.’” (John 7:38 AMP)

Every river has a mouth. With your words, you heal and birth life or with words, speak sickness, poverty and defeat. Talk the talk of Jesus and walk the Jesus walk.

Create and call the things not yet seen, to life. Release living waters, as this is the job description of priests and kings. Arise and shine!. Light causes darkness to flee. You are the light because Jesus lives within you.

Change the earth and let the living river flow, out of your mouth. It is a new day. Miracles of grace and mercy, await their release, from your mouth. Remember, greater is he lives in you than he that lives in the world. Walk and talk like a child of God! Speak faith in love. Praise him night and day!

Prayer Of Surrender And Trust

by Hazel Straub

Good Morning Father God,

Today, I surrender and let go of my junk, I’ve carried so long in my trunk
Letting go, releasing all my control and manipulation, full submission of my life
Trusting you today and always, giving you my heart and hand, resting in your embrace
Moving from manipulation to God’s Spirit’s full manifestation, and fresh new start

Thank you Father, when I am weak, you are my refuge and pour in your strength
In this time of change, transformed from oppressed, to fresh love and blessed
Special times with you, Father, enjoying your refreshing presence all day long
Accompanying me on the battle field and overcoming every giant that I face

Hallelujah to you Father and to Jesus your wonderful Son, desiring close relationship
Praise your name, you never forsake or desert but lead, love, forgive, restore and speak
Your name glorified and magnified, as you lovingly go with me throughout this day
Your presence, protection, love, life, light, to follow as you direct, my delight!

Amen!

The Righteous Flourish Like A Date Palm

by Hazel Straub

The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful];
They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable].
Planted in the house of the Lord,
They will flourish in the courts of our God.
[Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age;
They will flourish and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment.] (Psalm 92:12-14 AMP)

The date palm trees of ancient Israel symbolize the righteous. They were medicine, food, pressed into date honey, fermented into wine, its branches used as roofs for shelters, ropes, brooms, woven mats and its trunk for construction timber. The palms grew in a hot climate, next to oasis, in deserts and in fertile areas. They provided shade. The date palms of Israel were famous and stamped on coins and decorated Solomon’s temple.

The palms take years to mature and at first grow very slowly, before a growth surge. So don’t despair, if it seems to take a long time to reach maturity. They have a complex root system that anchors the tree that can get to 120 feet (36.58 meters) tall and survive high winds. The righteous, anchored in Jesus, will flourish, through the storms.  The trees grow straight and tall, like the righteous and can live 100 years. The date palms produces sweet fruit that sustains life and is tasty. So will we, the righteous, produce good fruit of the Holy Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness and faithfulness, even in old age.

Thrive, useful, upright, majestic, stable, with abundant life, as a date palm tree, glorifying God!

Create Life With Your Words

by Hazel Straub

You create your world with your words. When we speak God’s Word over ourselves, in faith, we get life. When we hear lies about ourselves, and repeat them out loud, we create curses against ourselves that has power. We curse ourselves many times, by speaking things like, my father and mother had this disease, so I will have it or I will never overcome this issue. We can repeat bad reports and give power to it.

Father, I repent (change my mind) for the sin of speaking words that do not strengthen, encourage, comfort, or correct in love. Father, people have said words about me that have not strengthened, encouraged, comforted or corrected in love, and I forgive those who spoke them. In Jesus name, I cut off all bad reports.and renounce them, in the name of Jesus.

Decree: I love (insert your name). l speak life and not death over myself and others, in name of Jesus. I choose to speak the report of the Lord.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit. (Proverbs 18:21 NKJV)

Declarations For Identity In Christ

by Hazel Straub

What do you focus on? Is it regrets, failures, others’ flaws and shortcomings that you have experienced? Do you view yourself as a victim or an overcomer? Your life changes when you look at the promises of God for you. Declare them out loud, daily, and you will know your true identity and abundant life.

I am a lily among the thorns. (Song of Solomon 2:2)  I am loved. (1 John 4:10) I am being changed into the likeness of Christ. (2 Corinthians 3:18) I am the salt of the earth. (Matthew 5:13) I am the light of the world. (Matthew 5:14)  I am the righteousness of God, in Christ Jesus. (2 Corinthians 5:21) I am a child of God and all my sins are forgiven, through Christ Jesus. (1 John 2:12)  I approach God with boldness, freedom and confidence. (Ephesians 3:12) I do not have a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7) I am more than a conqueror through Christ, who loves me. (Romans 8:37)

Your Identity

by Hazel Straub

God created each one uniquely, with a 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, shamed 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)
