Be Strong Because God Is With You

by Hazel Straub

Sometimes we focus on the wrong thing. We are in a new season that has new challenges. If we give our attention to the problems, we miss what is most important. God is with us and will not forsake or leave us. With him, we can conquer the giants that would like to intimidate us and rob us of our inheritance. It does not matter how big the problem seems because God goes before us and gives us the victory. He assures us that we will never have to face our enemy alone. God is with us and he tells us to be courageous and strong. The battle is not ours but the Lords. When we rely and trust in God, worry, fear and intimidation flee. God is our vision and provision.

Deuteronomy 31:6-8 (The Message)
“Be strong. Take courage. Don’t be intimidated. Don’t give them a second thought because God, your God, is striding ahead of you. He’s right there with you. He won’t let you down; he won’t leave you.”

Then Moses summoned Joshua. He said to him with all Israel watching, “Be strong. Take courage. You will enter the land with this people, this land that God promised their ancestors that he’d give them. You will make them the proud possessors of it. God is striding ahead of you. He’s right there with you. He won’t let you down; he won’t leave you. Don’t be intimidated. Don’t worry.”

The Wonder Working Power Of Yeshua’s Blood

by Hazel Straub

There is no substance more powerful than the blood of Yeshua (salvation), God’s Son. His blood washes and purges the most evil of sinners, when we call to God for mercy and turn from our sin. His blood redeems us from the curse of sin and brings us out of the pit of despair. The blood speaks louder than past rebellion, as we turn back to God. The blood covers and washes away all of our shame. The cleansing power gives us a new name.  The blood of Jesus cries for mercy and pardon, for a life of disobedience. The blood speaks and says, Forgiven and in Right Standing With God.

The blood of Yeshua flowed from his head, so our mind would be restored and renewed. The blood flowed from his hands so that all sin committed with our hands, forgiven. His blood flowed from his feet so that where our feet walked defying God,  forgiven, as we walk in a new direction of humility towards God. The blood of Yeshua flowed out of his side and from his heart, so our heart that is deceitfully wicked would replaced with a new heart.

There is nothing like the power of the blood of Yeshua to cleanse and  transform lives that had been under the curse of death, bringing new life.  Apply the blood daily for vibrant life.

1 John 1:7-10 (Aramaic Bible)
“But if we walk in The Light as he is in The Light, we have communion with each other and the blood of Yeshua his Son purges us from all of our sins. And if we shall say we do not have sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and he will purge us from all our evil. And if we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not with us.”

Undeserved Blessings Produce Thankfulness

by Hazel Straub

It is easy to complain or have negative thoughts, as it comes naturally. One has to take every loose thought, emotion and impulse captive, with a life shaped by the Anointed One. It is a conscious decision to move into spiritual maturity and to think on the good.

When we focus on God, his son Jesus the Messiah and God’s Spirit, praise and worship flow out of us. We then develop a thankful heart. The love, mercy and undeserved blessings of God, in each of our lives, is truly amazing. When we think on him, negativity flees.

Psalm 19:14 (Aramaic Bible in Plain English)
“Let the words of my mouth be for your pleasure, and the meditation of my heart before you, Lord Jehovah, my helper and my Savior.”

Holy Spirit Led Transformation Of You

by Hazel Straub

This is a new season. The challenge for you is to walk in the new, leaving the old. It is time to discard the old familiar garments of the sinful nature, with its stinking mental and emotional garbage, sinful self-interest and doing what is self-pleasing. Your desires need to come from God’s Spirit, as you wear the new clothes.

Live God’s way and he gives you good fruit that transforms your life. He gives us compassion for others in our hearts, bubbling joy, great affection for others and wholeness. When we are in Christ, everything connected with getting our own way and having mindless responses, we kill, nailing them to his cross. Wear your new outlook and clothes! Holy Spirit leads and we follow into life transformation.

Galatians 5:22-26 (NLT)
“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.”

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.”
