Humble Or Prideful?

by Hazel Straub

How many times have we let pride, self exaltation, self absorption or arrogance consume us? We rely on ourselves and think we have to solve all our problems by ourselves, with our hard work. We use our own intellect, resources, and religious formulas. However, we fail to trust God and don’t have a close intimate relationship with him. We become self sufficient and do not depend on God. Worry and anxiety consume us because we forget God and his love. We want the credit when things go well and blame God, when things go poorly. All of this is pride.

Acknowledge God as your source and depend on him. Ask what he wants, listen and obey, rather than taking the glory for yourself. Take the lowest position rather than assuming you deserve all the attention. Trust God, rather than your own understanding and it will go well for you. It is wisdom to humble yourself and let God be God!

The greatest among you will be the one who always serves others. Remember this: If you have a lofty opinion of yourself and seek to be honored, you will be humbled. But if you have a modest opinion of yourself and choose to humble yourself, you will be honored. (Matthew 23:11-12 TPT)

Forgiveness!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Forgiving, and forgiveness of the past, releases freedom, and is freeing for your future.

The more you release mercy to others, the more the Father will release miracles of mercy, to you.

Give God Praise And Thanks!


by Hazel Straub

God inhabits the praises of his people. When we are thankful and praise God, our attitude changes, and we have abiding joy! Praise him, before you see the manifestation of God’s answers.

Lift up a great shout of joy to the Lord!
Go ahead and do it—everyone, everywhere!
As you serve him, be glad and worship him.
Sing your way into his presence with joy!
And realize what this really means—
we have the privilege of worshiping the Lord our God.
For he is our Creator and we belong to him.
We are the people of his pleasure.[a]
You can pass through his open gates with the password of praise.
Come right into his presence with thanksgiving.
Come bring your thank offering to him
and affectionately bless his beautiful name!
For the Lord is always good and ready to receive you.
He’s so loving that it will amaze you—
so kind that it will astound you!
And he is famous for his faithfulness toward all.
Everyone knows our God can be trusted,
for he keeps his promises to every generation! (Psalm 100;1-5 TPT)

Consistent Love

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Consistent Love doesn’t try to change people, its effects changes hearts
Inconsistent love tries to change people, never considering their hearts.

To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person. If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, gift wrap it your best coat and make a present of it. If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously. 

I tell you, love your enemies. Help and give without expecting a return. You’ll never—I promise—regret it. Live out this God-created identity the way our Father lives toward us, generously and graciously, even when we’re at our worst. Our Father is kind; you be kind. “Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults— unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don’t condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you’ll find life a lot easier. Give away your life; you’ll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity. (Luke 6:27-38 MSG)

Take Every Thought Captive!

by Hazel Straub

Although many thoughts go through our minds, they are not all good. Some of them come from the flesh, other thoughts from God and some are evil. We do not need to let all thoughts make a nest,in our minds, and dominate our thoughts. Many times we believe lies, make excuses, find false security, and take refuge in them. Out of this faulty way of thinking, we repeat poor behaviors. We justify and want to argue our points.Instead  use the powerful weapons of God, to tear down the strongholds or fortresses of negativity, such as worry, pride, and hatred that exalt themselves against God’s truth. We are to take prisoner every thought and make it obey Christ. Then we will live victoriously.

For though we live as human beings, we do not wage war according to human standards, for the weapons of our warfare are not human weapons, but are made powerful by God for tearing down strongholds. We tear down arguments and every arrogant obstacle that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to make it obey Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NET)

Prayer Of Thanks For The Father’s Love

by Hazel Straub

Holy, holy are you Lord God Almighty, our precious Father
All the honor, worship, praise and glory belongs to you
You shepherd us and provide for all our needs, today
Your voice calls us by name and we come at your call

Thank you for your son, Jesus, who took our sins, our way to you, and we praise him
Every good gift comes from you, our Father filling us with your light
You deliver us from evil, go with and direct us, on our lives’ pathway
We do not fear because your wondrous tender love surrounds us

Soften our hearts, teach us how to love and to show mercy
Thank you for bearing our burdens and your goodness
You hear, listen and faithfully answer our cries and prayers
Thank you for your lovingkindness, mercy, and grace today!

In Jesus’ mighty name,

Amen and amen

Nothing Is Impossible With God

by Hazel Straub

God is greater than all our failures and does more marvelous things in our lives than we can imagine. Lift up your eyes, to Jesus, believe that nothing is impossible with him. Begin to imagine and see the God-given desires for a hope and a future, fulfilled in your life. Your past does not decide what happens today, as you fix your eyes on Jesus. He paid for your sins, let them go. Get up and do not give up! With God on your side, who can stand against you?

As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us. We look away from the natural realm and we fasten our gaze onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God! (Hebrews 12:1-2 TPT)

God Of The Miraculous!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

You are the God of miracles,
The God of all that is humanly impossible
You make all things beautiful, in your time, sovereign time.

It does not matter the diagnosis, the prognosis, what the devil has done or tried to do. HE IS THE GOD OF THE MIRACULOUS. He specializes, in things that seem impossible.
