Living, Thirst Quenching Water

imageby Hazel Straub

Water, we all need it. Without a drink of water, most would not survive longer than 3 days because 60 to 70% of our body consists of water. It’s life-giving, hydrating, moisturizing, regulating normal temperature, lubricating the joints, protecting the spinal cord, organs and sensitive tissues, making nutrients and minerals usable and accessible, carrying oxygen and nutrition to the cells, keeping the blood flowing, helping the metabolism and flushing and cleansing toxic waste. Without adequate intake of water, disease multiplies, low blood pressure and headaches occur, water congregates outside the cells like a stagnant pond, constipation with toxic waste, fatigue, and reduced brain function with fogged thinking ensues.

Yeshua gives those who accept him as Lord of their lives living water, quenching their thirst. He is the Living Water! This water produces wonderful changes in not only their body but soul and spirit. Cleansing, purifying life-giving water! Drink deeply and enjoy the best tasting water!

John 4:13-14 (NOG Bible)
Yeshua answered her, “Everyone who drinks this water will become thirsty again. But those who drink the water that I will give them will never become thirsty again. In fact, the water I will give them will become in them a spring that gushes up to eternal life.”

Hungry And Thirsty For God

imageby Hazel Straub

I’m hungry and thirsty for more of you God. It has been a long time since I took a praise break! Here’s my worship, Lord God.

God–you’re my God!
I can’t get enough of you!
I’ve worked up such hunger and thirst for God,
traveling across dry and weary deserts.

So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open,
drinking in your strength and glory.
In your generous love I am really living at lat!
My lips brim praises like fountains.
I bless you every time I take a breath;
My arms wave like banners of praise to you. (Psalm 63:1-4 MSG)

Pursue And Live In God’s Promises

by Hazel Straub

It is time is get aggressive and stand on God’s promises. Stake your claim and live in his promises. We are called to not settleIMG_1703 but to pursue his promises that are found in close relationship with Yeshua.

Romans 8:37-39 (NOG)
The one who loves us gives us an overwhelming victory in all these difficulties. I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love which Christ Yeshua our Lord shows us. We can’t be separated by death or life, by angels or rulers, by anything in the present or anything in the future, by forces or powers in the world above or in the world below, or by anything else in creation.

God’s Vision Brings Provision

imageby Hazel Straub

Open and lift up your eyes and look. Whatever you see you will own. If you see opportunity and a place to occupy, you will possess it and live blessed. If you look, with eyes of judgment, condemnation and criticism you will be blinded to the true riches that lie before you and miss your blessing. Look with God’s vision see and see his provision for you.

God’s Loving Restoration

imageHazel  Straub

God’s love  seeks the lost drawing them close. He never gives up on anyone and calls each one to change their mind and direction. Then he tenderly restores the lost to himself.

We are like an old discarded car that appears worthless except for the one who views it through eyes of love, buys it at an outrageous premium price and pulls it out of the bog. He installs a new engine, transmission, radiator, new muffler a new battery and other new parts. Next he buts new stuffing in the seats and recovers them with the finest of leather. The latest technology is installed on the console and the music that comes out of the speakers is the rich sounds of heaven. The steering wheel is restored with power steering and accelerator responds to the directions of Holy Spirit. New windows are installed that sparkle with the reflection of Yeshua, God’s only begotten son. The outside is no longer neglected. Sandpaper is applied getting out the rust and rough spots. The car is primed and painted with the blood of Yeshua. The car that had been considered worthless is prized beyond what money could buy.

Those bought by the blood of Yeshua are all cars being restored to factory condition. Rejoice!

Obedience Is Worship

by Hazel Straub

Obedience to God is the highest worship. Religious traditions and routines impress man but not God. Often men’s desires to worship God involves what brings the most comfort or what pleases them not God. Pure worship is doing what pleases the King of Kings and moving with the cloud of God’s presence. It is important to keep the focus on God and giving him what he desires, a yielded obedient heart that is tender.

Psalm 40:8 (NOG)
I am happy to do your will, O my Elohim.
Your teachings are deep within me.

Speak To Your Mountain

by Hazel Straub

Do you have some challenges in your life that are huge mountains? Negative thinking, addictive behavior, worries over provision, family problems, job issues, sickness, relationship difficulties, or deep hurts? Do you have your mountains speaking to you, or do you speak to your mountain? Do you complain about your mountain and make it larger? Do you empower or impoverish the mountain in your life with your tongue?

Yeshua tells us to speak to the mountain and tell it to be removed. When we do not doubt, believe what we say, the mountain will obey our voice and be thrown into the sea. There is life or death in our speech. We are to take dominion rule over it, not let it rule us.

Mark 11:23 (WEB)
“For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.

Holy Spirit-Winds Of Change

by Hazel Straub

The playful wind kept catching the open door and slamming it closed. Although much of the time, there is little wind in Fairbanks, the breeze has been noticeable. Holy Spirit began to speak to me about the wind. He said the wind is bringing change and he is the Wind Changemaker. Some doors shut and will not open. While other doors previously shut, now stand open.  Now is the time to walk through the open doors. Walk away and leave the closed doors behind you, without regret.

The wind exposes heart motives related to why we do, what we do. Are the motives pure or do they have ulterior motives with hooks in them? The wind is bringing people together and separating others. Winds of change swirl around us. On what do you spend your time thinking and meditating? Do you direct your praise and worship to Yeshua the Anointed One constantly or do you think on the cares of this world, pornography, sports, entertainment, gossip or anything else that robs you of close intimacy with him?

Wind separates the chaff from the grain and will blow away whatever is unproductive in God’s kingdom. Ungodly behavior patterns that were under grace in the last season, now have God’s wind and light exposing them, for it is urgent to change. Those things tolerated in the last season, will get you sidelined, unless you allow the wind, to change you and your heart. Embrace the wind and change!
