 The apostle Paul warned Timothy of unhealthy fear: “For God gave us a Spirit who produces not timidity, but power, love and self-discipline."  2 Timothy 1:7 Fear, low self-worth, and intimidation are Satan's most potent weapons.  Paul speaks about a spirit of fear. Fear forms in your mind and then an unhealthy response to fear births in your spirit. This spirit of fear is given to you by Satan. Your mind  is the Enemy's battlefield. He battles every day in the spiritual realm to defeat you. When he develops certain negative thoughts in your mind, he wants it to stay their until it overtakes your spirit.  Someone once said that Satan's strategy is to destroy or reduce you to nothing because he hates God and  anything God has done. He is sterile and cannot create anything himself. He can only disturb and destroy what already exists. He especially hates the creatures God has created most like Himself, us.  Satan’s greatest psychological weapon is a gut-level feelin

Abraham is our father in God’s sight because he trusted God as the one who gives life to the dead and call nonexistent things into existence. Romans 4:17 (CJB) Abraham trusted God as the one who gives life to the dead and calls nonexistent things into existent. He was passed hope, yet in hope he trusted that he would indeed become a father to many nations. His trust did not waver when he considered his own body – which was as good as dead, since he was about a hundred years old and Sarah’s womb was dead too. Abraham was given power as he gave glory to God. He was fully convinced what God had promised he could also accomplish. What he did for Abraham and Sarah he can do for you. You may be passed hope, but in hope trust God. You can go from failure to success, from defeat to victory, from sickness to health, and from lack to more than enough! God is your covenant partner. He provides and protect. No more words of lack, defeat, and mediocre. He will bless your future an

The Word is the Good News which has been proclaimed to you. I Peter 1:25 I have Good News for you! According to the Word of God you have been ransomed and set free from evil men and worthless companions! You should be aware that the ransom paid to free you from the worthless way of life was the costly blood sacrificial death of Jesus, the Messiah. You have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in heaven. In the Messiah, God chose you in love before the creation of the universe to be holy and without defect in His presence.   Here’s a little advice.   As one who obey God, do not let yourselves be shaped by the evil desires you use to have. Become holy in your entire way of life, since God tells us to be holy because He is holy. If you don’t mix holy with unholy things expect God to bless the hands of your work.   Pay careful attention to how you conduct your life – live wisely, not unwisely. Use your time well, for these are evil days. Don’t be foolish but try

 “   For I know what plans I have for you,’ says  Adonai , ‘ plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future. ”  Jeremiah 29:11  (CJB) Have you prayed, and felt as though God, Maker of heaven and earth, the Giver of life, has forgotten about you? I have. You may have prayed for the same thing for years, but He has not answered, yet. You just cannot understand why He does not answer. I cannot comprehend why God allows/disallows something, and I don’t understand why evil prevails when good men do nothing.   I have discovered something interesting about God.   He has an overall plan for our life that requires certain events to be completed before He can move us to the next steps.  Our life plan is woven together into God’s greater plan. This involves events in our life happening at a particular time. Your life plan aligns with the greater plan of God at the appointed time, to give you the hope and a future that He has for you. Since God is Omnipote

"18  Do what is right and good in the  Lord ’s sight, so all will go well with you. Then you will enter and occupy the good land that the  Lord  swore to give your ancestors. 19  You will drive out all the enemies living in the land, just as the  Lord s aid you would. " Deuteronomy 6:18-19 The knowledge that the LORD will drive my archenemy, Satan, out my life gives me comfort and victory. We are not the same when the LORD drives the Enemy of darkness, and sin out. I was living with the Enemy. Day after day there was a battle going on and some days the battle left scars on my heart, mind and soul.  And, I  know that suffering is difficult to explain. However, it is impossible for my finite mind to understand an infinite God. But, I will keep doing what is right no matter what may come. I have victory over Satan through my prayers, a life dedicated to Christ, and my faith and belief in the one True God.  With the help of the Lord, I took back what the Enemy stole from me

Ruth said to Naomi  these words; "Don't press me to leave you and stop following you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God will be my God. Where you die, I will die; and there I will be buried. May ADONAI bring terrible curses on me, and worse ones as well, if anything but death separates you and me." Ruth 1:14-17 (CJB) Ruth was determined to go with Naomi to Bethlehem. She did not know that her destiny was there. She only knew that it was not in Dihon, Moab. A place of false truths, false gods and false hope.  She had the wisdom, discernment, and knowledge to know that living in a world of darkness and  pretentiousness could not bring a future of hope, success and blessings.  She was determined to go to a better place.  She had had enough and nothing would make her stay.  The Enemy's plan is to destroy God' plans for you. Thankfully, God is in control and as a believer I know when I pr

“God, deliver me by your name; in your power, vindicate me. God, hear my prayer; listen to the words from my mouth”. Psalm 54:1-2 CJB When you use the Name of the Lord the Heavens opens up to your request, because you recognize that only he can truly help you and there is no one else. This Psalm of David is a prayer and a cry to deliver him from the enemy’s attacks. God is the defender of his people, and victory comes by His Power ( his name). When you sign your name to legal documents, it gives the power and authority to act accordingly. When you sign your prayers with the Name of Jesus, it gives a greater power and authority to your request. It it is executed by the power of His Name. When you pray follow the example of our Lord Jesus in  John 17:11-12.   He prayed to our Holy Heavenly Father. “ Now I am no longer in the world. They are in the world, but I am  coming to you. Holy Father, guard them by the power of your name, which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just

"I sought ADONAI (the LORD), and He answered me; He rescued me from everything I feared." Psalm 34:17   CJB It is true when you seek the LORD, He will answer you. He will rescued you from EVERYTHING! I have been in some very tough places over the last year and a half. I was waiting on Jesus to rescue me! If the LORD hadn't rescued me, I would not have survived. But, it is a year later, and He rescued me from every a dire situation. I am still here for His Glory. During those rough times,  I remembered that Jeremiah 29:11 (CJB) said "For I know what plans I have in mind for you, says ADONAI, 'plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future." Our LORD,  has not planned bad things for me or you. He does not want you to lose hope. Most of the time when people quote Jeremiah 29:11 verse they stop there, but as you continue to read the next two verses ( Jeremiah 29 :12-13) , gives us the reason for our hope. "

The original Hebrew text for this scripture reads ; Adonai said to Moshe, "Leave, you and the people you brought up from the land of Egypt; and move on from here toward the land of which I swore to Avraham, Yitz'chak and Ya'kov, "I will give it to your descendants.". I will send an angel ahead of you; and I will drive out the Kena'ani, Emori, Hitti, P'rizi, Hivi and Y'vusi. Exodus 33:1-2 (CJB) There are times in your life when you must move on pass your current situation, even though you are comfortable where you are now. You have to leave the things behind that are no longer beneficial to the call of God on your life, and the life of your family. Egypt is over, the promise is ahead of you. Trust in the LORD, it is time to move on and receive your next victory. God will go ahead of you and make sure the way has been cleared for your opportunities and successes, for your better future,  and your next victory. He told Moses in verse 2 that he w

"Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.   For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,   I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’   Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?   And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?   And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’   And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me."  Matthew 25:34-40 W e live in a time when we must take precautions to stop and help someone.   However, if we are to be the hands and feet of Jesus, we must stop.  I was in New York City visiting my son William

We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy,.." Colossians 1:11 Both of my parents had Alzheimer’s disease and have gone to be with the Lord. When they came to live with my youngest sister, she promised that she would see them to the end. She gave up her career as a College Professor to care for them. She would often pray, “Lord if you don’t help me. I won't have any help.”  She was asking for Jesus to carry her as she carried my parents through that awful disease. She endured to the end with sweat, tears, the Word of God in her heart, and many whispered prayers into the ears and heart of our Lord. Each time the load got too heavy for her to carry the Holy Spirit would bring up to her spirit His Holy Word. That same Word that was rooted and grounded in her spirit many years before she would ever need it would rise up and strengthen her. The more strength and

Before I bowed my knees to Jesus, I was in this world without hope and without God.  I was far off from the truth and I was far from God and had no peace. Searching for love in all the wrong places. Desiring to be desired.  It was the revelation of His love that changed my life for the good of me and my family.  The god of this world, the prince of the air, Satan had a veil over my eyes. I was blind and in darkness. The Spirit of Truth revealed the love of God and grace delivered me from darkness into His marvelous light. It is difficult to see in the dark. The only thing that can expel the darkness is the light. Whenever someone turns to ADONAI  (the LORD), the veil is taken away. When the veil was removed  I could see that I was in disobedience to God's law and deep in sin. I needed a Redeemer.  It was by his grace I was delivered out of the hands of Satan.  God picked me out before I was born and chose to reveal Christ Jesus (Messiah Yesuha) His only begotten Son to me.  Ever
