A Green Olive Tree In God’s House


by Hazel Straub

When we seek God and dwell in him, his living water nourishes us. In his presence, our perspective changes to an eternal viewpoint. We become like a tenacious olive tree that enjoys long life, produces olives, oil for lamplight, eating, and anointing oil. The olive tree is an evergreen. The roots of the olive tree can thrive in hot arid conditions, needing minimal water, and some still produce after 2,000 years. The olive branch, is the symbol for peace. Noah sent out a dove from the ark after the flood and the dove returned with an olive branch in its beak. Like the olive tree we will flourish as we seek God and bask in his presence.

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in and confidently rely on the loving-kindness and the mercy of God forever and ever.(Psalm 52:8 AMPC)

Accept The Challenge To Love!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Love beyond yourself.

If your love doesn’t carry you beyond yourself, it isn’t love. “And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; Though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved,” (2 Corinthians 12:15). In the natural, one loves expecting love in return. Paul says, “I do not care whether you love me or not, I am willing to destitute myself completely, not merely for your sakes, but that I may draw you to God.”

The real test for the Bride is not in her preaching the gospel, but washing the feet of others, and doing things that do not count in the actual estimate of men, but matters for everything in the eyes of God. God delights in the bride when she spends herself out for God’s interest, in other people, not caring what the cost will entail; and doing it gladly. A lot of what we call love is really affection because it doesn’t go beyond ourselves. Love beyond yourself today, and love your Hater.

Apostle Hater Lover

Fearfully And Wonderfully Made!

by Hazel Straub

Often we worry about our circumstances, losing our assets and are self-centered. We become so concerned about how life affects us, we lose our focus and the reason we live. God our Creator, placed us in our family, in our city and nation with a destiny. He created us in his image and placed gifts inside of us that we need for our life purpose. His plans for us are bigger than we can imagine. Look up, see your life from God’s perspective and worship him! You are fearfully and wonderfully made,  your destiny calls.

“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].” (Ephesians 2:10 Amplified)

Breakthrough Vision

by Hazel Straub

Have you looked back to the past with fondness and not enjoyed where you were today or the breakthrough that God is giving you? If your vision is to the past, you will miss the miracle of today and tomorrow.

The children of Israel received a miraculous delivery from slavery in Egypt. However, although they ate supernatural bread from heaven, their clothes and shoes never wore out and they had water to drink, they were not content. Instead of looking for breakthrough into their God promises, they longed for the garlic and leeks of Egypt. They forgot how hard slavery and oppression was. Because of their negativity, they wandered in the wilderness and died.

Keep your vision looking forward and know that this is a time of breakthrough and quick fulfillment of dreams. Let praise and worship come out of your mouth because God is doing marvelous things for you!

All the tests they endured on their way through the wilderness are a symbolic picture, an example that provides us with a warning so that we can learn through what they experienced. For we live in a time when the purpose of all the ages past is now completing its goal within us. (1 Corinthians 10:11 TPT)

Welcome The Warmth Of Light And Love!

by Hazel Straub

The sunlight increases daily, although the snow remains on the ground, in the Far North, it slowly melts. Nothing stays the same, when in the presence of the Sun of Righteousness (Jesus). Also nothing remains the same in the sun. Some things of the flesh have died during the winter. The Spirit of God is quickening you, from the long cold winter.

Let the old things of the flesh, pride, stubbornness, unbelief, fear become killed and expelled. Instead let the love and light of God, grow, new humility, pliability to the voice of Holy Spirit, and quick obedience produce good fruit. Welcome the light that casts out all the darkness and brings new life, with the evidence of God’s love.

But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions: joy that overflows,
peace that subdues,
patience that endures,
kindness in action,
a life full of virtue,
faith that prevails,
gentleness of heart, and
strength of spirit.
Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless. (Galatians 5:22-23 TPT)

Expose Your Heart To Father God!

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Deliberate Worshipers expose what’s in their hearts allowing the Father to heal their issues, thus becoming more intimate with the Father. While impulsive worshipers hide what’s in their hearts, refusing to deal with their issues, preventing them from becoming intimate with the Father.

God wants your heart in worship not just worship…

Let Go and Receive Forgiveness

by Hazel Straub

Getting rid of the clutter and getting organized is popular during this time of year. Even more important is getting rid of the garbage in your life: Unforgiveness. Release all the hurts, offenses, resentment, bitterness, and negativity, by an act of your will and forgive. Quit meditating on the wrongs done to you. It makes you toxic and bitter.

When we fail to forgive others, the darkness creeps into our lives like fungus and pollutes us. All of us have sinned against God, who shows mercy and forgiveness, when we turn to him. However, we need to forgive those who have wounded us, to receive God’s mercy. Forgiving makes room for the blessings pouring into your life. Make a daily habit of letting it all go!

For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. (Matthew 6:14 KJV)
