Run To God And Receive

iuby Hazel Straub

The spacious, free life is from God,
it’s also protected and safe.
God-strengthened, we’re delivered from evil—
when we run to him, he saves us. (Psalms 37:39-40 MSG)

Jesus Our Burden Bearer

by Hazel Straub

burdenJesus is our burden bearer but often we carry our burdens and troubles, not giving them to him. Then we become stressed, due to the anxiety over what might happen. Many times Jesus told us to not fear and to give him our problems. Many sleepless nights could be avoided, if we gave them to the Lord. The bed becomes rock filled and uncomfortable with heavy problems that we cannot solve on our own. Jesus is our problem solver and has us carry a light load.

“Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Place my yoke[a] over your shoulders, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble. Then you will find rest for yourselves because my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matt. 11:28-30 NOG)

Never Alone For Jesus Is With You

Unknownby Hazel Straub

Realize that you never walk alone because Jesus walks with you. When you really know he is present, his reality of love and concern for you, captures your heart. Be still and know that he is God. Quiet your anxious thoughts. Listen to what is on his heart. Honor him with your full attention and love.

His presence, sacrificial love and the gifts that he lavishes on you, captives your heart. The enemy and his attacks no longer stress or worry you because Jesus fights your battles. Jesus urges you to rest with him and know the enemy is under your feet and not worthy to have any of your focus or attention. Look to Jesus and LIVE!

Lord Sabaoth Most Magnificent Deliverer

Joyful Worshipby Hazel Straub

Lord Sabaoth most magnificent deliverer
Delivered from evil and the familiar
You are my help, refuge and haven
Provider, sustainer, never shaken

You dry my tears taking my fears
Turn sadness into floods of joy
Wrapped in your extravagant love
Sending vast abundance from above

Recovering all that the enemy stole
New wine and oil vats filled to overflow
Barn’s bursting with harvested grain
Heaven’s windows pour blessings rain

Ears and eyes opened to sound and sight
Your voice and face fills me with delight
Praising joyfully and worshiping my Jehovah God
Never again ashamed resting in your glory awed

Worship And Thrive

break%20freeby Hazel Straub

When the enemy attacks, learn how to prosper. We are called to live in the Spirit and to thrive not survive.

Paul and Silas helped deliver a slave girl from the spirit of divination. Her owners were upset and long story short, Paul and Silas ended up beaten, bloody and in the inner part of the prison, in stocks and bonds. Their response to this injustice was to praise and worship God with joy, continuing until midnight.

God responded to their worship, by coming to the prison, with his earthquake shoes on and causing all the bonds to fall off, the stocks and prison doors to open. Paul and Silas worshipped into the darkest part of the night and brought the presence of God, who set not only Paul and Silas free but also all the other prisoners in the prison. Nothing could bind them, when they lived by the Spirit, thrived as unashamed God carriers. (Acts 16)

“So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.

None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.” (Romans 8:31-38 MSG)

Think, Speak And Meditate On Jesus For Change

thinking_manby Hazel Straub

What you think on and what you look at determines who you become. If we think about our mistakes and regrets depression accompanies us. On the other hand, if we speak and think about scripture, eating, chewing and thinking about a certain promise, it becomes part of our inner self.

Looking and thinking about Jesus as our Redeemer, Healer, Deliverer and Help, keeps us relying on him, not our circumstances. Healing of trauma, emotions and body will occur as doubt leaves and trust in the Lord remains. We know Jesus, who is the truth and the truth sets us free.

Let the words of my mouth be for your pleasure, and the meditation of my heart before you, Lord Jehovah, my helper and my Savior.  (Psalm 19:14 ABPE)

New Year – Fresh Start

imagesby Hazel Straub

We are entering a new year and a time of a fresh start. Drop the old heavy luggage of the past, so you will have the energy needed for your new season. It is time to leave the regrets of the past with all the “should have,” “if only,” could have,” “why did or didn’t I.” You cannot have vision for your bright future, when you live with regrets or think that your best days lie behind you.

It is time to freshen up in the shower, scrub off the dirt of the past, and put on new clothes of love, mercy, faithfulness, patience, joy, hope and humility. Put on the mind of Christ and no longer live by your fickle emotions. Wear the glasses of anticipation and new vision for the plans that God has to prosper you, to give you a hope and a future. Walking through the door of 2015 requires that you leave the past because you and excess luggage will not fit through the door. Keep Jesus as your focus, staying close to him and you will do great exploits.

Let the song of the fresh start song burst forth from your lips! Embrace the new year with a new mindset, no longer doing the same thing and expecting different results. The greatest time of your life lies before you!

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. (Philippians 4:8 NLT)

2015 – A Year To Worship God And Rest

praise_1740c3_webby Hazel Straub

2015 is a year of looking to Yahweh with praise and worship. It is important to keep your eyes lifted up to God, not on the circumstances or what it looks like with natural eyes. Lift up your eyes and get God’s vision and take another look. It is time to perceive from his perspective, with fresh vision. Praise and worship releases Holy Spirit to blow his wind on forgotten dreams and to uncover the wealth God alloted for you. In this new season you will forget the toil of the past, because the goodness of the Lord will overtake you. Seeds planted in the last season will bloom with great abundance and glory.

This is a year of blessings and fulfillment that comes from a place of resting and unity with Jesus. Rest from striving and see God complete that which you have longed for, as you look up worshipping and praising him. Restoration of stolen resources, inheritances and dreams, with abundance of provision is yours. The enemy is defeated with praise and worship, as you keep your eyes focused on the Lord and rest in his love for you.

2 Chronicles 20 describes this year.  Judah (praise) had his enemies threaten to annihilate the nation, while they surrounded him, with well equipped armies. Judah’s leader sought Yahweh for his strategy. He told them not to fear and it was his battle not theirs. In response, the nation of Judah showed no fear, as they raised praise and worship to Yahweh. Their focus was the Lord and they rested. God caused the enemy turn on themselves and kill each other.Judah received the wealth of the enemy and it took three days to gather all the plunder. The keys to victory included placing the focus on the Lord not the enemy, resting in him and open mouths that praised and worshipped him.

Fashioned In The Likeness Of Jesus

iurby 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!
