Jesus Causes Us To Live Victoriously

by Hazel Straub

Jesus is alive and conquered death and darkness, so we can live in victory. When the devil attacks our minds, remind him that he is disarmed, destroyed and dethroned, by the blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God. Our Redeemer’s sacrifice makes us free from the weight of sin, its penalties and punishment. Abundant life is our portion in Christ Jesus!

“They won the victory over him because of the blood of the lamb
and the word of their testimony.
They didn’t love their life so much that they refused to give it up.” (Revelation 12:11 NOG)

Obedience To Declare

by Hazel Straub

When you agree with what God has said, in his Word and declare it with your mouth, it is powerful. Obediently, follow his instructions. Declare his Word with your mouth and watch blessings come and overtake you.  Faith comes through the knowledge of God and Yeshua the Anointed One. and hearing the Word.

God says, Just declare what I have said. Hear it intelligently, begin to declare it wholly, completely, far, fast, louder and louder. (Joshua 1:8)

Yahweh Set A Guard At My Mouth

by Hazel Straub

Many times negative words come out of our mouths more than faith filled, uplifting words. At times, one heedlessly blurts out something and immediately regrets it but the damage remains. Our speech is a product of our heart, the mind, will and emotions. It is time to cry out to Yahweh for help.

O Yahweh, set a guard at my mouth.
Keep watch over the door of my lips.
Do not let me be persuaded to do anything evil
or to become involved with wickedness,
with people who are troublemakers.
Do not let me taste their delicacies. (Psalm 141:3-4 NOG)

Purify my heart and cleanse me from within of my sin.
Create a clean heart in me and renew a faithful spirit within me.
Restore the joy of salvation in me and
Provide me with a spirit of willing obedience. (Psalm 51)

God Turned Others’ Evil Plans To Good

by Hazel Straub

Everything that occurs in your life has a purpose, when God is on the throne of your life. Even that of which you are most ashamed and gives you pain, he redeems. What appeared negative becomes an incredible message, in the Master’s hand.

Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery. He ended up in a household which he ruled but when falsely accused of rape, spent years in prison. The prisoners had worked for Pharaoh, so Joseph learned royal politics and the culture.  While imprisoned he forgave his brothers. One day after interpreting Pharaoh’s dream, he became ruler of Egypt. There he saved not only Egyptians’ lives from starvation but preserved his own family of origin,  Israel. Much good came from his hardship and pain.

“Joseph replied, “Don’t be afraid. Do I act for God? Don’t you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now—life for many people. ” (Genesis 50:19-20 MSG)

My Life Hid In Christ Jesus

by Hazel Straub

My life is hid in Christ Jesus. Everything that comes against me, has to go through him before getting to me. His hands lovingly sift all that comes my way. There are seasons when hard times come and he tells us to keep our eyes on him, not the circumstances. No matter the challenge, he sees me through it.

“So it comes down to this: since you have been raised with the Anointed One, the Liberating King, set your mind on heaven above. The Anointed is there, seated at God’s right hand. Stay focused on what’s above, not on earthly things, because your old life is dead and gone. Your new life is now hidden, enmeshed with the Anointed who is in God. On that day when the Anointed One—who is our very life—is revealed, you will be revealed with Him in glory!” (Colossians 3:1-4 The Voice)

Thirsty And Parched?

by Hazel Straub

Thirsty and feeling parched for spiritual refreshment? Long time with no living water to drink? Good news, God is bringing rivers to high mountains and the desert fills with pools of water. Those that hunger and thirst after righteousness get a river of living water not just a small glass. God has provided for you in the wilderness and satisfies your thirst with his son, Yeshua the Messiah. Drink deeply and often.

I will open up rivers for them on the high plateaus.
I will give them fountains of water in the valleys.
I will fill the desert with pools of water.
Rivers fed by springs will flow across the parched ground. (Isaiah 41:18 NLT)

Seeds Of Greatness Are Within

20130725-221028.jpgby 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 and your seeds will release. It is in the dying to selfish flesh process, that many new trees spout. Patience, trust and reliance upon me will bring forth much fruit. Stay attached until released by me.”

John 12:24 (ABIPE)
“Timeless truth I speak to you: Unless a grain of wheat falls and dies in the ground, it remains alone, but if it dies, it yields much fruit.”
