Out of your heart (your mind and reasoning, will and emotions) the mouth speaks. If you have unhealed hurts that fester, what comes out of your mouth is negative. When you allow the trauma, drama and past hurts to be healed, in the light of God, your speech will show God’s light, life and love.
The good person out of the good treasury of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasury produces evil, for his mouth speaks from what fills his heart. (Luke 6:45 NET)

Don’t be afraid to speak your Faith!
Don’t be afraid to act out in Faith!
Don’t be afraid to expect God by Faith!
The Father desires, expects, and loves it when you respond to him in FAITH!
Without Faith it is impossible to please God. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)
“Have not I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”(Joshua 1:9)
Hallelujah!

Discouraged, tired and wanting to quit the battle? Our fight is not with flesh and blood but with principalities and rulers of darkness. Fear, intimidation, lies and shifting shadows are the weapons used to paralyze you, with toxic emotions, attempting to cause you to quit. Instead, remember that you live in Christ and he lives in you. Christ has won the victory and his victory is yours.
So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard or ensign against him. (Isaiah 59:19 KJV) The Spirit of the Lord fights for us. Keep your focus on the Lord, not the enemy and know you win! Rejoice in the Lord fighting for you and praise him. He gives strength to those who are weak.
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4 KJV)

Don’t get lost in the process of change. Sometimes results are immediate, sometimes gradual, but both are a part, of the process of change. Ultimately, during the process, the Father desires us to keep crying out for Him. Our dependency should be of Him and not ourselves. We must cry out to our Father who loves and yearns for us to be with Him.
Even when we don’t understand what God is doing, we still owe Him our hearts in worship.

“For the Lord God is brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise!
Wrapping himself around me like a shield,
he is so generous with his gifts of grace and glory.”
“Those who walk along his paths with integrity
will never lack one thing they need, for he provides it all!
O Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
what euphoria fills those who forever trust in you!“(Psalm 84:11-12 TPT)
“So trust in the Lord, all his people.
For he is the only true hero,
the wrap-around God who is our shield!”
“You, his priests, trust in the Lord.
For he is the only true hero,
God-wrapped-around-us as our shield.
Yahweh continues to bless you and increase you and your children
You receive blessings from Yahweh, the maker of heaven and earth” (Psalm 115:9-10 TPT)
Yahweh captures all your tears as they fall from your eyes
He pours them back over you, turning them to incredible joy
Rejoice in his incredible love for you!
There is no one like God our Hero!

Consistent LOVE doesn’t try to change people, its effect CHANGES HEARTS.
Inconsistent love tries to change people, never considering their hearts.
To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person. If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, gift wrap your best coat and make a present of it. If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously.
I tell you, love your enemies. Help and give without expecting a return. You’ll never—I promise—regret it. Live out this God-created identity the way our Father lives toward us, generously and graciously, even when we’re at our worst. Our Father is kind; you be kind. Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults— unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don’t condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you’ll find life a lot easier. Give away your life; you’ll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity. (Luke 6:27-38 MSG)

Stop letting fear interfere in your life. Fear of all kinds, immobilizes and stops one from going forward and fulfilling their dreams.
God told Joshua to be courageous as he went to take the Promised Land. God will never leave us or forsake us. When we trust in him, not our understanding, and follow his lead, nothing is impossible.
“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:7 NIV)

For those of you whom have grown tired in doing what is right and are battling with feelings of discouragement, anxiety, or torment. The Father says you are in a narrow place. “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” (MARK 10:25).
The “eye of a needle” was a narrow mountain pass or narrow place of passage, which was difficult for a camel to go through. “…the eye of the needle, a small door fixed in a gate and opened after dark.” To pass through, the camel must be uploaded. Hence the difficulty of the rich man. He must be uploaded. You are being uploaded. You are being rid of unnecessary weights, ways, person(s) and things to spiritually transfer you to a higher heavenly realm. The Lord has not forgotten nor forsaken you. You are being birthed anew through the transition canal of the Lord.
Prophetically, the Lord has put the squeeze on you. He is allowing the pressure to extract the oil of anointing that he has placed within you. He is causing a divine merging where the two lanes or two wills become one. You are becoming one with the King of Glory, who is severely passionate concerning you and in love with you. In this season, hindrances are being displaced, old wounds, and trauma that is being revisited, is for you to conquer in the name of the Lord, as you forgive and are revived. You are moving from false and wounded identities into truth and wholeness. Yahweh is making you less affected by the world’s systems and more effective to the world. There is a greater grace on your life today to complete what you’ve started, surpass the past, and to fully grasp the new and the manifestation of what He promised you!
BE REFRESHED AND RENEWED IN DOING WHAT IS RIGHT. FOR YOU SHALL REAP A HARVEST OF BLESSINGS, JUST DON’T GIVE UP…WORSHIP THE KING!
