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!

Trust Yahweh

9186569-a-joyous-man-with-arms-stretched-up-to-a-glorious-skyby Hazel Straub

Yahweh will make your righteousness shine like a light, your just cause like the noonday sun. He will validate you.

Surrender yourself to Yahweh, quiet down, pray, trust and wait patiently for him. Do not be preoccupied with an evildoer who succeeds in his way, when he carries out his schemes and tramples on others.

Let go of anger, and leave rage, it only leads to evil. (Psalms 37:6-8)

God’s Word – My Meditation

imageby Hazel Straub

God’s Word warns us of danger
and directs us to hidden treasure.
Otherwise how will we find our way
Or know when we play the fool?

Clean the slate, God, so we can start the day fresh!
Keep me from stupid sins,
from thinking I can take over your work;
Then I can start this day sun-washed,
scrubbed clean of the grime of sin.

These are the words in my mouth;
these are what I chew on and pray.
Accept them when I place them
on the morning altar,
O God, my Altar-Rock,
God, Priest-of-My-Altar. (Psalms 19:11-14 MSG)

Fear Yahweh

imageby Hazel Straub

Fear stops us from walking God’s way and doing what God calls us to do. It is the enemy’s most powerful weapon, as it causes us to reason, to doubt and look at the obstacles not following Yahweh.

The beginning of wisdom is to fear Yahweh and to constantly think of him, his love and to listen to him. When we let go of our flesh, then we cause the enemy to fear because nothing will stop us. We need to remember that greater is he who is with us than the enemy.

Whether we live in the valley or on the mountain top, Yahweh is with us. He brings trials and tests to give us endurance so we can live on a higher level. He sends his angels to fight for us. When we really know this truth, we are bold as lions and thankful for tribulations that mature us.

Yahweh, today, we live in freedom, knowing you give us life, love and faith. You have broken the chains of fear. We will not walk in fear because you have given us love, power and a sound mind. Give us vision to see the paper tigers in our lives and free your people from the trauma of fear. Fill us with the awareness of your mighty love and a desire to listen to you.  Amen

Let Your Light Shine!

imageby Hazel Straub

Rather than curse the darkness let your light shine. The Spirit of God lives inside of us making us bright lights. Light conquers the darkness.

Shine with the love of God.
Shine with joy and praise.
Shine with peace and patience.
Shine with forgiveness.

Shine with goodness and faithfulness.
Shine with believing and trusting God.
Shine with the beauty of Jesus
Shine to light the way for God’s glory!

You are the Light of the World. (Matthew 5:14)

Christmas – God’s Selfless Love

by Hazel Straubimage

God reaches out to us with selfless love that has no  strings attached. He knows we cannot save ourselves, so he gave of himself, his most precious son. His son, Jesus, took on the limitations of the flesh and was born as an infant in a manger and lived as a man,

Although Jesus was sinless, he laid down his life, took our sins, diseases, curses and punishment, so we could live abundantly, lacking no good thing. Where we lived defeated by sin, depressed, existing in a muddy pit, he took our punishment and lifted us out of the miry clay and set us on the solid rock.  The precious blood of Jesus washes us clean.

Through this sacrifice, the enemy was defeated, and we receive adoption, as the children of Daddy God. We have blessings not curses and spend time with our father, who delights in us. He forgives us, cleans us up, changes our nature, helps us grow and mature. Most amazing, he is giving us as the bride for his son, changing us from the inside out. What absolutely stunning and amazing selfless love! He sees beyond our mess, transforms us and loves us unconditionally.

Celebrate! Marvel at the love of Daddy God. Merry Christmas!
