Change Your Way Of Thinking!


by Hazel Straub

Discouraged due to your circumstances? Change the way that you think. Renew your mind by thinking on how much Father God loves you. How he sustains and strengthens you on life’s journey. Express gratitude and thankfulness for his goodness to you.

The children of Israel were miraculously delivered from years of slavery in Egypt and had all their needs provided. They had manna, bread from heaven to eat and water from the rock. Their clothes and shoes did not wear out. God was their cloud cover, shading them from the desert sun by day and as fire by night. Yet their focus changed from their blessings, to ingratitude and complaining. They became impatient with the journey and discouraged, cursing God and Moses for their difficulties. This negativity brought judgment and not joy.

Our attitude determines our outcome. Have a different thought of gratitude and live abundantly.

And they journeyed from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom, and the people became impatient (depressed, much discouraged), because [of the trials] of the way.
And the people spoke against God and against Moses, Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, neither is there any water, and we loathe this light (contemptible, unsubstantial) manna.Then the Lord sent fiery (burning) serpents among the people; and they bit the people, and many Israelites died. And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord, that He may take away the serpents from us. So Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said to Moses, Make a fiery serpent [of bronze] and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of bronze and put it on a pole, and if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked to the serpent of bronze [attentively, expectantly, with a steady and absorbing gaze], he lived. (Numbers 21:4-9 AMPC) (Jesus said he was the bronze serpent, “He who believes in (has faith in, clings to, relies on) the Son has (now possesses) eternal life.” But whoever does not so believe in, cling to, and rely on the Son “will never see… life.” (John 3:36 AMPC))

Sold Your Sonship Blessings?

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

I hate seeing believers sell their birthright, inheritance, and sonship blessings for a pot of deception stew, for convenience in lieu of endurance, and for reneging on God’s promises due to lack of faith. Because they don’t value nor appreciate the things of God, there is absolutely no regard for what Yahweh says or thinks.

This is profanity. In the Bible, profanity means a lack of holiness. If you take something holy and good, and treat it with contempt, then you have profaned it. To treat the things of God, as ordinary is to profane or despise them. It shows a lack of godliness, which the New Testament says about Esau. He was immoral, and lacked concern for pleasing God. His spiritual blessings and responsibilities meant nothing to him. The Lord tells us to be sure we are not like Esau in this. There was no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright, for a single meal. (Hebrews 12:16).

Through Jesus Christ, we are all Yahweh’s Firstborn. Worship is not failing to appreciate God, who he is in all of his Glory, our birthright inheritance, and valuing our sonship benefits. Obey and Believe God, don’t let the enemy deceive or trick you into selling, what Jesus paid for to make available for “You.”

Dwell In The Presence Of God

by Hazel Straub

Praise of the Lord God, brings his presence. There is nothing like dwelling in his presence. He gives us grace and favor. God is our Shield and Sun and he withholds nothing that is good from us!

For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else]; I would rather be a doorkeeper and stand at the threshold in the house of my God than to dwell [at ease] in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. (Psalm 84:10-11 AMPC)

The Selective Hearing Spirit

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

The Lord just revealed to me, the spirit of “SELECTIVE HEARING.”

“If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good, the best, the fat, the wealth of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured, consumed, eaten up, with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.” (‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭1:19-20‬ KJV)

This is a powerful prophetic Word from the Lord. However, people with the spirit of selective hearing, only hear it this way, “I will eat the good the best, the fat, and the wealth of the land. I am not rebellious I just choose to do what I want, you know, I follow my heart or my feelings”. We the believers, the righteous of God, can’t live by subjectivity. This is the spirit of “SELECTIVE HEARING.”

Be careful Beloved, because this spirit treats the Bible like it’s a menu, at a restaurant, it doesn’t revere God’s prophets, as God’s spokespersons, but caters to the desires of the flesh, not the Spirit of the Lord. This spirit says what the flesh wants. Then perpetrates that God is saying it, when it’s actually the person speaking to themselves and being led by their emotions and not by pure devotion, in obedience to God.

In the natural, SELECTIVE HEARING means lacking the ability to distinct, identify or filter one voice or sound from the other. It is also characterized as the action, where people focus their attention, on a specific source of a sound or spoken words. They only hear what they want to hear. They only hear it the way they interpret it, in lieu of allowing the Holy Spirit to give the revelation.

Similarly, the spiritual realm, it is when a person lacks a pure heart to distinct, identify, or filter the voice of the enemy, the voice of human reasoning, from the Voice of the Lord. In other words, a person with SELECTIVE HEARING has a heart deficiency, their heart deceives them (Jeremiah 17:9-10).

A prayer I love to pray is, “Holy Spirit show me the errors of my ways, and expose any deception or untruth in my heart, because I want to please you, not my flesh.

This is true worship, and pure hearing the Father…Selah

Believe, Trust, And Have Faith In God

by Hazel Straub

Keep your eyes on the goal I have set before you. Trust and depend on me, in faith. Do not rely on what you see in the natural but in faith in me and my Word. Obey me in faith, believing my promises. Know I am dependable and will fulfill all I promised. Walk on the Word I have given, not on your feelings or circumstances. Believe me and seek close relationship with me.

And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who give all their passion and strength into seeking him. (Hebrews 11:6 TPT)

Are Problems A Heavy Burden?

by Hazel Straub

Frustrated that your knowledge, wisdom, and ways of tackling the problems that confront you do not work? Our issues will not be solved by men’s wisdom but only by dependence on Yahweh. In 1 Samuel 17, Israel was confronted by foreigners, the Philistines, invading their land. The armies faced each other from a distance and a champion for the enemy arose, making threats. This champion was much larger and taller than the Israelites and had flashy weapons and armor. The Israelites ran away in terror and this happened for forty days. Then a young teenager, who watched his father’s sheep came to give provisions to his older brothers, who were part of the Israelite army. This young man had a different perspective. He had a close relationship with Yahweh and had killed a a bear and lion that had threatened to kill the sheep, he watched. He saw the issue, as one of trusting Yahweh, not in the size of the champion or how things looked in the natural. Based on his relationship with Yahweh, his covenant keeping God, he came in His name with a slingshot and a stone. God gave this young man, David, the victory and the giant champion, Goliath, met his own death and the intruders, fled. The human perspective viewing the size of the problem has nothing to do with its defeat. 

We too can come in the name of Yahweh through His one and only son, Jesus, and see victory over what seems in the natural, an unbeatable foe. With Yahweh, nothing is impossible, when we trust in Him, and he gives us victory! Personal relationship and trust in Yahweh fighting with us, gives us the strength to conquer all the troubles facing us! Hallelujah!

Some find their strength in their weapons and wisdom, but my miracle-deliverance can never be won by men. Our boast is in Yahweh our God, who makes us strong and gives us victory!(Psalms 20:7 TPT)

What Is The Key To Answered Prayer?

by Hazel Straub

Small keys open big doors. Hungry and thirsty for more of your Father God?  Trust and cry out of your need, to our Father in Heaven because he hears and answers. His love does not fail and he never gives up on you. Seek him with your whole heart, making him your priority, giving him your love. Reach out to him in faith. You will experience answers and his presence, beyond your expectations and imagination.

In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.  I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.” (Jeremiah 29:12-14 NLT)
