Do Not Fear The Enemy

by Hazel Straub

We are not to live in fear or to have awe of the enemy. Know the Lord lives inside of us and we have his strength. The enemy cannot intimidate us because our Lord has his seat far above the enemy and we live with him, as his body. The enemy was conquered and we have no need to fear him. The Lord delivers us from the enemy so we can live in victory. Listen to the Lord not the enemy and remember who is with you. Fear not the enemy.

Ephesians 1:19b-23 (NIV)
“That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”

Restoration Comes With Worship And Praise

by Hazel Straub

God inhabits  the praises of his people. As we bless and worship God, we become restored. When we bless the Lord, we become realigned and our perspective changes. Our focus changes to God’s goodness and he invades our environment.

We praise God because he is good and his love endures forever. He restores our lives from destruction and forgives our sins. The strongholds of the enemy, inside us, shatter in God’s presence.  His light conquers the darkness. He gives us fresh bread from heaven. He heals our diseases and our relationships. God surrounds us with his love and gives us peace. He makes us whole and complete so we lack no good thing. His loving-kindness touches our lives. God takes the hurt and wounded places and binds and heals our broken hearts. Worship restores our souls and we experience prosperity, as our soul prospers. We bless the Lord and his praise fills our mouths today.

Psalm 103:2 (NIV)
“Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits–”

Prayer Calls For Listening To Daddy God

by Hazel Straub

God will never leave or forsake you. He sticks closer than a brother. No matter what your crisis or whimsy you go through, he is there. People may come and go in your life but God is constantly with you. He loves you and directs your path. He desires nothing more than your taking the time to acknowledge his presence in your life. He desires a relationship, where you listen to him. So often we recite our laundry list of wants, needs and desires without waiting for his response. We like to have conversations with friends and family. God is so much more than a friend. Give him respectful worship and listen. He is calling to us to stop and spend time listening and catching his heart for each one of us. Pause and listen to the voice of Daddy God today. He is calling you into a deeper relationship.

John 10:27 (NIV)
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

Believe God, Not The Circumstances

by Hazel Straub

Believe God and not the circumstances in which you find yourself. Circumstances can change but God does not. What God has promised he will do. “Fear not for I am with you,” says the LORD. “You are my child and I have redeemed you. I am with you and am delivering you from the devourer.”

Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
“So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Thought War For Life Or Death

by Hazel Straub

Our thought life is important. What we think and meditate upon comes out of our mouth and manifests in our actions. There is a war going on in our thought life, over what we believe. The devil wants us to see the problem, while God wants us to look at the answer. If we fix our eyes on Jesus the Anointed One, we will marvel at what God has done and is doing. God wants us to meditate on his Word. He desires that we know that greater is the Spirit of Jesus inside of us, than the enemy in the world.

The devil wants to steal, kill and destroy you. He has taken what belongs to you, by getting you to think on the problem and not the solution. The enemy uses deception and distraction to take away your knowledge of the strength of God, inside you. Worry and anxiety are the first stage of doubt that leads to fear and unbelief. Worry negates faith. Get your eyes on the solution. Renew your mind so you can know who you are in Christ Jesus. God makes a way, when it seems impossible. With God you can resist the enemy and he will flee. Miracles of provision come, when you change your vision to the Lord Jesus.

Philippians 4:8
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.”

Be Strong And Courageous

by Hazel Straub

We are in a new season. The new is exciting but much is unknown, as we have never been this way. It is important to listen to the Lord our God and follow his instructions. Also, we need to know that he will never leave or forsake us so we can rely on his strength. His love surrounds us and we will not fear nor become afraid of any challenges that we face. Neither will we become discouraged because our focus is on God and his sustaining presence.

Joshua 1:7-9 (Tanakh)
“Just be strong and very courageous to observe and do in accordance with all of the Torah that Moses My servant has commanded you. Do not stray therefrom right or left, in order that you succeed wherever you go. This book of the Torah shall not leave your mouth; you shall meditate therein day and night, in order that you observe to do all that is written in it, for then will you succeed in all your ways and then will you prosper. Did I not command you, be strong and have courage, do not fear and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Walk By Faith Not Sight

by Hazel Straub

We are called to walk by faith and not by sight. Daily there is a challenge to trust God for our daily needs, physically and spiritually. With him we will not fear, but trust in his loving kindness, faithfulness, love and provision beyond our imagination. The Lord is our shepherd and  we have no lack, as we trust him.

Hebrews 11:1-3 (Amplified)
“NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, [a]the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].
For by [faith–[b]trust and holy fervor born of faith] the men of old had divine testimony borne to them and obtained a good report.
By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible.”

Metamorphosis

Cocoon on the pokok Hempedu Bumi (Andrographis...

by Hazel Straub

We are in a season of great change. This change such as, in the Middle East has seen the toppling of long-standing dictators. Earthquakes, hurricanes and tornados in unusual places and unusual weather patterns. Many things which were constant in the past are changing. Even in our personal lives there is rapid change and transformation.

God is calling us to leave the past behind and to move into our future. It is time to let go of old destructive ways of thinking and yield ourselves to God so he can transform us. Taking off the old garments and getting rid of everything that keeps us from victorious life. God gives us fresh vision and perspective, as we change our focus from our circumstances to Jesus. A transformation and metamorphosis happens so we become more in the image of Jesus the Messiah.

It is a new season and time to emerge from the comfort of the cocoon and to emerge transformed.

Metamorphosis is a profound change in form from one stage to the next in the life history of an organism, as from the caterpillar to the pupa and from the pupa to the adult butterfly.

Romans 12:2 (Amplified Bible)
“Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].”

God Is Your Security, Fear Not!

by Hazel Straub

Fear and anxiety rob one of the joy of the present. Worry changes your vision from trust in God, to all the immobilizing what ifs . . . Instead he wants us confidently looking at him and not alarmed by what appears a disaster approaching. God is for us and nothing can successfully oppose us. So we are calm and not apprehensive over the testings and trials. God is our security on whom we rely because he is faithful and trustworthy.

Isaiah 41:10 (Amplified Bible)
“Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice.”
