Take A Risk-Believe!

by Hazel Straub

We tolerate many things in our lives that God never intended for us to bear. This includes pain, self defeating behaviors, not releasing the past and living beneath our privileges. It is time to take your inheritance that Christ Jesus purchased for you. Take a risk, quit listening to doubt. Trust and have faith, in God, beyond what you can see in the natural or your mind’s reasoning. Believe God and experience miracles in your life.

What Is Your Focus?

by Hazel Straub

It’s all about your focus. Concentrate on the Lord Jesus, on what he is saying and doing. Think about his goodness, love and mercy. Keep your eyes on him, not your circumstances. What you thought were issues, will fade into insignificance. Focus.

The Battle Is Yahweh’s

by Hazel Straub

Feeling pressed on every side, between the proverbial rock and hard place? Have you grown weary of the battle of conquering a repeated sin or destructive habit? The LORD of Hosts (Yahweh Sabaoth, God of the Armies of Israel), who rules the armies of heaven and men, says, “Fear not. I AM fighting your battles. Rest and have full confidence in me, not in flesh or blood. Cease from your labor and striving, to defeat the enemy. It is my war not yours. Bask in my love. Watch the enemy melt like wax in my presence.”

1 Samuel 17:45-47 (NIV)
David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will hand you over to me, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”

Wisdom Listens And Learns

by Hazel Straub

God is working on the character of each believer. At times, someone in authority will speak truth into our lives. Pride causes one to argue to seem right. But the one with wisdom listens, receives and implements instruction.

Proverbs 13:10 (NIV)
Where there is strife, there is pride,
but wisdom is found in those who take advice.

The Power Of Agreeing Prayer

by Hazel Straub

Agree with God’s Word. Then if two people are in harmony, with strong belief, praying in the name of Jesus the Messiah, it’s done. Power comes from unity in prayer. Daddy God, loves to answer those who pray in unity. Jesus is also with them. Agreement in prayer changes governments, communities, families, hearts, and circumstances. Pray with one heart with one another and the enemy flees!

Father make us one as you and your son, Jesus are one. Give us your heart so we will pray your will, in agreement.

Matthew 18:19-20  (NIV)
“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Trust In God From Your Heart

by Hazel Straub

Trust, believe and have confidence in the reliability and character of God. It is an issue of your heart. Relationship with God begins with listening and trusting him.

Proverbs 3:5-8 (The Message)
“Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Don’t assume that you know it all.
Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
your very bones will vibrate with life!”

It’s Time To Rest

by Hazel Straub

God is calling us to his rest. Too often we fill our days and nights full of activities, without pausing to rest. Rest rejuvenates and revives. Slow down, calm down and rest. Get some needed sleep. Do not let the urgent things rob you of vital refreshment. Get your priorities right and do the most important. Be still, listen and become intimate with Daddy God. Rest.

Matthew 11:28 (NIV)
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
