Resurrected Life With Hope Restored

by Hazel Straub

Springtime in the North is a time of new life. Trees that had appeared lifeless and dead, during the long winter, now have fresh leaves, the birds’ cheerful chorus echos and a new vibrant expectancy appears in the air.

This is a picture of what God is doing with the body of believers, who are trees planted by the Lord. The season has shifted dramatically. Receive all that the Lord has for you today. Resurrected life, hope restored, broken dreams renewed, fresh anticipation, with creation joining in joyful songs of praise.

Isaiah 55:12 (NIV)
You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

Ask Daddy God With Bold Belief

by Hazel Straub

Daddy God loves you and freely gives without rebuke, blame or shame, when you ask.  Make your requests with full trust and confidence, without hesitation. When you hesitate in your mind, the thought process resembles extremely unstable waves tossed in the wind. Do not expect an answer from Daddy God, when you waver in doubt, with two minds about him. He answers those who make requests with bold belief. Unfurl your umbrella over your head, confident of an immediate downpour, although it hasn’t rained for many months!

James 1:5-8 (The Message)
If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who “worry their prayers” are like wind-whipped waves. Don’t think you’re going to get anything from the Master that way, adrift at sea, keeping all your options open.

God Our Gardener

by Hazel Straub

Spend more time listening than talking. Slow to speak and slow to take offense. God, our gardener, implants the Word in our souls. Life transformation comes, when we receive him with meekness. It is time to really listen and follow his instructions. This produces change with a life that blossoms with God’s fruit.

James 1:19-24 (The Message)
“Post this at all the intersections, dear friends: Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue, and let anger straggle along in the rear. God’s righteousness doesn’t grow from human anger. So throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in the garbage. In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear! Those who hear and don’t act are like those who glance in the mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who they are, what they look like.”

Favor Of God

by Hazel Straub

God through his son, Jesus the Messiah, makes us in right standing with him. We receive abundant blessings because Jesus paid for all of our sins and transgressions, by his death and resurrection. Also he completely surrounds us with favor. Favor is preferential treatment, something granted out of goodwill and not from justice. God grants us unmerited kindness and gives us entry to privilege, as a free gift.

Thank you God for your shield of favor on my life!

Psalm 5:12 (NIV)
“For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.”

Thirst Quenching Living Water

by Hazel Straub

My whole being cries and thirsts for you the Living Water
Humbling myself, laying down my pride as a son or daughter
You alone can satisfy my thirsty heart and dry wounded soul
Life, hurts, trauma, drama  and sin has taken quite the toll

My arms raise in surrender, relinquishing the past to you, Lord God
Yielding my will, intellect, rights, control, thoughts and fleshly bod
In worship, I release all that restrains from closer intimacy with you
My desire, focus, thirst, and heart  now set only on you filling my view

In you alone and by your help I put my hope and fully trust
Yahweh’s love surrounds, heals, fills, preserves from soul rust
God, my Rock, encompassing with lively deliverance songs
My praise freely raised in grateful heart worship all day long

Honor And Holiness

by Hazel Straub

God calls for us honor him, as he is holy. Holy means set apart. He wants us to show reverence towards him and to not take him for granted. At times we become too friendly, lacking reverential fear towards him. It is time for a new level of consecration and dedication towards him. Honor and respect God with your life, obey him with reverence and joy. He loves and values you. Value God with your actions.

Leviticus 10:3 (NIV)
Moses then said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD spoke of when he said:
“‘Among those who approach me
I will be proved holy;
in the sight of all the people
I will be honored.’”

Prayer For Release Of Offenses

by Hazel Straub

It is the little foxes that spoil the vine. Take every thought captive through Christ Jesus. When you hold small offenses, not recognizing their toxicity, it will spoil your relationships within the body of Christ (the vine).  Cast down every negative thought, when it intrudes on your mind or it will lodge in your heart. Soon the heart hardens, due to the trampling of many footprints of offense that walk over your mind, will and emotions (the heart).

Abba God, thank you for your Spirit living inside of me, who is greater than he who is in the world. You check and convict me of sin. I now turn from sin and negativity to you, forgiving and releasing all who offend me, including myself. As I wash in the blood of the Lamb, make me whole. Purify and change my heart, until pliable and tender, I love like you love, forgive as you forgive and release offenders and offenses. Today, I put on the mind of the Anointed One. Grant your eyesight for vision to see through filters of your love, mercy and compassion. Every thought captivated in the oil of you, Abba God, as I crucify my flesh. Thank you for a fresh start today.

Prayer For Heart Transformation

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

If we will only take the time to Listen, we will hear the voice of the Lord. Listen with your heart and not your head. Sometimes we are clouded from hearing because of blockages within our hearts. As long as our hearts are pure and focused, we will hear the Father’s voice purely and clearly.

Father, renew me in the spirit of my mind and transform my heart to yours. Let my life and all that I do, sing praise, glory, and honor to You.
