Selfless Love

Unknown

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

What you care about, you make effort about, and what you don’t care for, you make excuses for. However, Yahweh cared so much for us that he gave us his son, as a sacrifice for us. How will you expend yourself for others today? Love is selfless not selfish.

Father, Thank You For Tests

iu-1

by Hazel Straub

How many times have you cried to God for deliverance from a difficult trial? The pressure seemed endless, relentless and unpleasant. God answers, “I will go with you through your troubles and give you strength to endure the test.”

Maturity comes with bumps in the road, not when there are no challenges. Testings purify and make you stronger. The key to passing the test is total reliance on the Lord and not depending on your brilliance, analysis, flesh or own strength. Leaning on the Lord humbles and rids one of pride and independence.

Thank you Lord for giving me tests and helping me pass them!

Blessed are those who endure when they are tested. When they pass the test, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. (James 1:12 NOG)

Spruce Trees Seeds Of Greatness

by Hazel Straub

While listening to the Lord, the sun highlighted the tops of the spruce trees that had immature spruce cones. “The seeds of greatness are within you but they are not yet mature. Stay close to me, supple and pliable to my will. You will grow and mature and have mighty impact for my kingdom. Let my wind blow so cross-pollination from other trees will help in the maturing process. Once you are mature, you will leave the spruce, your seeds will release and die. As you kill the selfish flesh, the seeds sprout and produce many new trees. Patience, trust and reliance upon me brings forth much fruit.”

Let me make this clear: A single grain of wheat will never be more than a single grain of wheat unless it drops into the ground and dies. Because then it sprouts and produces a great harvest of wheat—all because one grain died. “The person who loves his life and pampers himself will miss true life! But the one who detaches his life from this world and abandons himself to me, will find true life and enjoy it forever! (John 12:24-25 TPT)

Spiritual Warfare Decree Breaks To God’s Blessings

images

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

This day, in Jesus’s miraculous name, I loose the pure powerful witchcraft breaking, law fulfilling, heart transforming love of God, against every spirit of fear, fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of being hurt again, fear of success, fear of starting your business, fear of writing your business plan or vision down, fear of poverty, fear of wealth, fear of fame, fear of the future, fear of intimacy, fear of marriage, fear of abuse or being abused again, fear of the past, fear of the present, fear of authority, fear of church, fear of relationship, fear of truth, fear of oneself, fear of abandonment, fear of not having enough, fear of the unknown, fear of being alone, and all the such like. I command fear to rot and dry up in your life and cleanse all the lesser demons out with it.

We speak division in the camp of the enemy. Your destiny is sealed in the blood of the Lamb. We take authority over all scanner spirits, gossiping spirits, run and tell spirits, and spiritual spies, spiritual eyes, and spiritual bugs, in Jesus name.

This week, your enemies will be exposed and so your true friends will be recognized, no more spirit of disguise or waiting for your demise. You have been elevated to SEE what you couldn’t see before.

We negate, and cut off every witchcraft attachment. The assignments of the enemy have just been canceled and broken off your life. We speak blindness, deafness, traitors in the camp of the enemy, concerning your life and conversations today. I speak that the trap planned against You, blows up in their face. Every plot, sabotage, death, and sudden destruction, and scheme of the enemy is SHUT DOWN, NOW. The traps they set for you, they will fall into themselves. I blow a freezing frost, upon all activity not of The Lord, about you. I loose giant warring angels to do battle against all the demonic activity, about you today!

I cancel the prayers and prophecies that are ungodly and not of The Lord concerning you. We destroy every plan and purpose of the enemy against you and we reestablish the plan and purpose of Yahweh for your life. Receive heaven’s abundance, receive heaven’s abundance, receive heaven’s abundance. You are overflowing with the riches of his glory. You are saturated and satiated in the wonders of his love, the warmth of his embrace, and the joy of his countenance.

We are fulfilling our dreams and receiving our inheritance and harvesting our crops. We will not be robbed, bamboozled, or hoodwinked by the enemy. We will walk in truth, love, and not deceived or self-deceived. Everything in the dark, we expose to the Light of Christ. Every hidden trap or wicked device, we crush and destroy, by the voice and sword of The Lord.

Satan, the blood of Jesus is against you! I release the judgment of God against every spirit of death and destruction, playing games with the mind, mind controlling spirits, the spirit of delay, and the spirit of denial and declare everything and everyone ordained for you, is coming to you now, in this hour, this season, now!

Everything evil being sent your way, God turns it into a blessing. I loose the spirit of breakthrough that you would break through every wall and every barrier and every unforeseen barrier, in the power of Christ. The breaker comes up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them. (Micah 2:13)

We decree, the gates are open over your life, your business, your ministry, your husband, your wife, your children, and your career. The floodgates of heaven are released over your life. You have a greater abundance of power and life, today because you have Heaven’s provision, prosperity, protection, and providence. Plunge into the new day of release, thrust into the truth and freedom of what Heaven says about you, and divine into the realm of your impossibilities becoming realities.

Prayer For Deep Roots In Christ’s Love

by Hazel Straub

I bow my knees before the Father of Yeshua Christ, after whom all the families in heaven and on earth receive their names.

Daddy God, please give me, a gift from the wealth of your glory. I pray that you would give me inner strength and power through your Spirit. Then Christ will dwell in me through faith, as I open the door and invite him in. I also pray that love’s rich soil be the place where my roots anchor and on which I have my secure foundation. This way, with all of Daddy God’s people, I will be able to understand and experience, how wide, long, high, and deep your love is. I will know Christ’s love, which goes far beyond any knowledge or comprehension. I am praying this so that I may be filled, saturated and flooded with you, Daddy God.

Glory belongs to you, Daddy God, whose power is at work in me. By this power you can do infinitely more than I can ask or imagine. Glory belongs to you, God, in the church and in Christ Yeshua for all time and eternity! So be it. (Ephesians 3:14-21)

Lord, I Resign

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

It’s Resignation Time! It is so easy to take matters into our own hands; a temptation to try to change someone; stressed because of trying to keep something or someone, you need to release to God.

Today, I resign from the things that only God is supposed to do. I retire from trying to be the “Savior Syndrome,” with people. It’s not my responsibility but God’s.

Lord, here’s my resignation, effective immediately and perpetually.

Lord Jesus Our Provision

by Hazel Straub

It is empty! How many times have you looked at your natural provision and exclaimed that your cupboard, your stash of money, intellect, talents, appearance, and or resources, et cetera, were empty? You think, “How am I going to make it because I do not have this or that? How will I survive because I made this or that mistake in the past?”

God wants you to know that the tomb is empty. All that remained there was the prayer shawl that had wrapped the dead body of Jesus, Son of God. There was no need to make a memorial, at the tomb, because he was not dead.

We need to seek the person, the resurrected LORD JESUS, who is our PROVISION. He wants us, to get his VISION. It has nothing to do with the dead things, of which we have made a memorial, such as what we accomplished or did not do in the past. God’s vision and provision are not dependent on how much we have in savings, our education, personality, natural abilities, housing, good or bad looks, luxuries, or what we may or not have. Nor is his provision, dependent upon what disasters we experience, such as earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, inflation, war, death, divorce, poor health, family crisis, or homelessness.

Our focus needs to change, to seek the LIVING ONE, who daily provides all that we need. It is he, who SUSTAINS and REMAINS, with us in our present circumstances. It is he, who walks and talks with us. Do NOT look in the tomb, or make a memorial to live there. Leave the dead things in the past. Remember, to listen to his voice, walk with his presence, and know that in him is all the provision you need to succeed, in LIVING life!

“Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
The beast of the field will honor Me,
The jackals and the ostriches,
Because I give waters in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert,
To give drink to My people, My chosen.
This people I have formed for Myself;
They shall declare My praise.
(Isaiah 43:18-21 NKJV)

Follow The Good Shepherd

Just because you have always done things the same way, in this new season, you have to shift. God, your Good Shepherd, wants you to listen and follow him, not stay where you are comfortable.

It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. (Hebrews 11:8 NLT)

God Delights In You

images

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

My thoughts are always great, when I think of you. I’m always thinking how to bless you, how to prosper you, and  give you a hopeful future. Your life will be good and flourishing because I planned it that way.

As you allow me to mold and  shape your heart, after mine, I will give you the desires of your heart. I delight in you. I’ve invested deep treasures from heaven in you. I created the world everything in it first, so when you arrived, you would have everything you need.

Think higher, dream bigger, believe the impossible, for I am on your side. I am disposed to show favor to you because I love you. Expect me, for I am God of all flesh  and there is nothing too hard for Me. I made the heaven and the earth, by my great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for Me. (Jeremiah 32:17, 27)

You can trust Me, because I won’t let you down.
