When You Walk Through Fire

by Hazel Straub

Many times, when God has us in a narrow tight place, we cry out for rescuing from our situation. We think, “If only God would quickly change our circumstances, everything would be fine.” Instead, God says he is not delivering us out of our difficulty but is walking with us through our predicament.

God is with us, so we will not fear. It is on the journey with him, that we have our character refined, are humbled and become more like Christ. Also hardship teaches us to focus on Yahweh, who is present with us, not on the water that seeks to overwhelm us or the flames that leap at us. He has promised that we will not drown nor will the fire burn or scorch us. He is our help and strength, in the midst of trials. He will make us a powerful testimony of overcoming, with the help of God, to many who do not know him yet.

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;” (Isaiah 43:1b – 3a NIV)

Renew Mind With The Word Of God

by Hazel Straub

Every morning our mind needs resetting and recalibration. We do this by getting God’s perspective on our day. Read the Word of God out loud, ask Holy Spirit to teach you, make it come alive and change you from the inside. Pray and listen to God. No longer being driven by fear, doubt and unbelief but by having the mind of Christ, trust and receive, as you live in him. Change and reset your viewpoint, believe the Word, and agree with God!

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 NKJV)

Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes. (Romans 12:2 TPT)

Rest That Refreshes

by Hazel Straub

When I am tired and weary, I find my rest in you my LORD
Unloading my stress, distress, troubles no longer stored
Washed in the blood of the Lamb, at peace with joy, blessed
Tranquil, at ease and refreshed, resting on your breast

Recovering my purpose in your love, mercy and grace
Your presence brings lightness, as I go at your pace
Ungodly expectations and measuring sticks destroyed
Transformed by true loving acceptance, I’m overjoyed

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.(Matthew 11:28 NKJV)

What Weighs You Down?

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

It’s not what you’re eating, but what’s eating at you. It’s not your weight, but what’s weighing you down. Many food disorders are not because one is hungry but because one is lonely. It’s not what is happening now but what has happened to you.

Pray this prayer today, “LORD, HEAL MY MIND FROM THE HURT OF MY PAST. GRACE ME TO LIVE IN THE NEWNESS OF LIFE WITH THE MIND OF CHRIST. Holy Spirit, help me to deal with the roots of the trees and not just the leaves. Holy Spirit, speak truth to me and I will be free.”

Agree With The Word Of God And Declare It

by Hazel Straub

When you agree with what God has said, in his Word and declare it with your mouth, it is powerful. Obediently, follow his instructions. Decree his Word, with your speech, watch blessings come, and overtake you. Faith comes through hearing and hearing by the word of God. It reveals God and his one and only Son, Jesus the Anointed One by his Holy Spirit. Have faith and trust in God and your life will be transformed.

This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to recite it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do. (Joshua 1:8 HCSB)

Stop Supporting Strongholds

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

When God delivers you from something or someone, your next requirement is to stop supporting the structure or stronghold that allowed from which you were delivered, to stay in your life. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal, identify, and speak Truth, to you in this area (ways you keep supporting or allowing it to remain). Then the structure or stronghold will fall and crumble completely powerless, in your life.

Focus On Jesus And Trust Him

by Hazel Straub

When the world seems out of control, along with your personal concerns, does fear grip your heart? Change your focus from the storms swirling around you and fix your gaze on the Lord. He never changes and is always there, when you rely on him and enjoy his presence.

As a believer in Jesus, his righteousness is yours. Roll all the heavy burdens onto him because he cares for you. Rest and snuggle close to the Lord and delight yourself in his love for you. He keeps you safe, as you trust him!

Trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed.
Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.
Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass.
And He will make your uprightness and right standing with God go forth as the light, and your justice and right as [the shining sun of] the noonday.
Be still and rest in the Lord; wait for Him and patiently lean yourself upon Him; fret not yourself because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked devices to pass. (Psalm 37: 3-7 AMPC)
