We Have Power*taking back what the enemy stole*

 Weakness today is frowned upon. No one wants to be known as weak. Crying is seen as weakness. Fear is seen as weakness. It is even seen as weakness if you stay quiet about something that is bothering you. We live in a society where the strong tend to over-power the weak just because they can.

But my focus is not on the world we see but more on the world that we do not see. I remember just recently; I was going through a situation with a person, and God had to remind me that it was not the person that I was warring against. 

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

That can sound pretty scary. PRINIPALITIES? POWERS? RULERS OF DARKNESS? WICKEDNESS?


WHHHHHHAAAT? UMMMM.... No thanks, I PASS!!!!

 I'm good over here watching feel good shows on my couch.

 Where it is SAFE, cozy, and I am in control. 


God is really showing me that I do not have to be afraid. I have spent my entire life feeling afraid of something. Whether it be people, change, darkness, whatever. 

God has given me power to defeat whatever is tormenting me. Whatever has ahold of me. Whatever has my family in bondage. I HAVE THE POWER because GOD GAVE IT TO ME!!!

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 

WOW WHAT A POWERFUL SAYING! I would think to myself. But now I know, that is not JUST a saying.....that is a PROMISE from my Father in Heaven. 

Sometimes the enemy works through the people we love. And it makes it really hard to battle with them. Sometimes the enemy uses people to keep us in bondage because he knows that it will prevent us from moving forward into what God had prepared for us. The enemy knows where our weaknesses are and he will use them against us. Little does he know....2 Corinthians 12:9 And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 

Did you catch that? THE POWER OF CHRIST!!! 


Jesus told me to stop walking around slouched over looking at my shoes and to stand up straight. Tonight, I was reading Matthew and came across a verse that I had to spend some time thinking about. 
It was Matthew 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 

I looked into the context of this verse. It was right after Jesus asked Peter, Who do you say that I am? Peter replied to Him, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God." I just started a study on Hebrews with a dear friend. Last week we studied Hebrews 1. We noticed the writer used THE SON OF GOD more than anything else. In the Jewish culture the firstborn son inherits what the father has. Our Father has power, might, strength, glory, rule, etc. That was passed down to His SON, Jesus. Who then in turn gives us that power. All we have to do is believe and confess that He is in that power from the Father! 

We have to stop walking around like the enemy has won. Or stop trying to war against the wrong person and remember who we need to bind and who we need to loose.  We should be seeing people raised from the dead, healed, the blind made to see, the dead made to hear, devils cast out. We should be doing these things as a follower of the Greatest Power. Because that is the power that Jesus walked in while He was on earth. That is the power that we should walk in now. For He is never changing. He was the same yesterday, today, and forever.

My prayer for us today is that we realize the power that we have been given. That we can start to operate in that power and stop being afraid. God help us to see how powerful you have created us to be. Help us to step into that power and use it to bring you all honor and praise and glory. Amen

    I recently read a book by Sadie Robertson. And it said that sometimes we might be worried about protecting God. Like what if this person doesn't get healed even though we asked and prayed... in the name of Jesus. Sometimes (most of the time) we might be scared to ask for miracles on the account of not fully trusting God. Because sometimes people don't get healed. But...we have to stop worrying about God and protecting His reputation God can handle that Himself. I think that's where I lack in fully coming into the power of Christ. It's not believing and because of that I also want to protect Jesus' reputation.

  Yom Kippur(Day Of Atonement) Tonight starting at sun down, we began another Jewish holiday. (Biblical Feast)                     Leviticus 16:29-33 And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourner among you: For on that day shall the priest make an Atonement for you to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever. And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead shall make the Atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments: And he shall make Atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the alter, and he shall make an atonemen

Stuck in this season, because I can't let go

       Do you ever feel like you are just failing in life? Like there is nothing that you can do right? I am going through a season that I have thought was over but apparently it is not. I believe God is ready for me to move onto the next season, but I am keeping myself stuck in this season. A few weeks ago, it felt like I was moving out of it. But here I am. STUCK!        Why have I not moved out of this season. I feel like I am sabotaging my entire walk with the LORD and there is nothing I can do to stop it. Maybe that is just it. Maybe I need to stop and just TRUST GOD. I feel like it is much easier said than done. Why is it so hard to trust God? I cannot seem to get out onto the first step, not matter how much I want to. I want to walk with the Lord, in everything that He has ordained for my life. But right now, it feels like I am missing it all. I think as humans we want to see the entire picture...but with God, we can't. If we saw the entire picture, we would not really be tr

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry

  Have you ever heard something at one part of the day  and it kind of resonated with you but you just went on  with the rest of your day? Then later that day you hear  something of the same thing?  That happens to me all the time.  This is how I know God is trying to talk to me. There are no sure things a coincidences. If this happens to you, PAY ATTENTION! God is trying to tell you something.      I am bringing this up because I feel like it is a message that the church needs to hear. I have been feeling led to write this blog for days now, but have ignored the leading. Today I sat down, turned my computer on, only to learn that the battery had stopped working completely. I knew in my spirit this message needed to go out...so I went to WalMart to buy a new computer. The enemy knows this is how I share what God teaches me, so he attempted to stop it, but he did no prevail. Now I am sitting at my kitchen table with the power of the Holy Spirit in me and we are going to write this blog.
