Be Strong: He has not forsaken you!


"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might." [Ephesians 6:1 NASB]

Ephesians 6:1 Be strong – The Greek word used here is "Endunamoo" meaning to empower, enable, strengthen. In this verse it translates metaphorically to "strong mind". 

During this time of uncertainty and a global pandemic do not become weak minded, afraid, anxious and lack trust. No matter what the circumstances are be strong in your mind and focus on prayer, praise and the Word of God.  As Jesus hung on the cross at Calvary, he said, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me." His humanity felt what we feel when we go through trials and tribulations. But, the Son of God, knew it was not over and  Resurrection Day would come! It was the power of the Holy Spirit that raised Him from the grave, “He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it” [Colossians 2:15].  From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. [Mark 15:33] Darkness came and the Enemy thought he had won. But it was not over! The darkness is passing but we will get through this. This will be over! For we are fighting from victory not for victory!  

When we are afraid, tired, and stressed it is a marvelous thing to know that our Heavenly Father has compassion on his children. He understands how we are made, He remembers that we are dust. So He tells us, "Do not be afraid" in every book of the Bible. Trust Him! His mercy is from eternity past to eternity future, and His righteousness extends to His children's children. He determined a boundary that the Enemy cannot cross. That boundary is secured by the Blood of the Lamb; Jesus our Messiah and the Son of God. I plea the Blood of Jesus that was applied on the Mercy Seat in Heaven to atone for our sins, and protect us from the Destroyer.  His Blood has the power to keep the domain of darkness from crossing the borders of our life and family lives! Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to observe all the proactive instructions given to you. He will take care of you. If you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, death is swallow up in victory. It has no sting and no victory. This too shall pass! 

Deliverance Prayer: 
Deliverance Prayer: 
In the name of Jesus Christ, we present to You Father ourselves, our families, our church, the scientist, physicians, first responders and our neighborhoods.  By the power of the name of Jesus Christ, through His shed blood and the Holy Word of God, we ask that the Lord rebuke you Satan and all the dominions of darkness seeking  entrance into our lives, and the lives, situations and areas for whom and which we are praying.  We ask that the Lord rebuke any demonic assignments spoken or sent against us, and pronounce them to be of no effect. 'For this reason was the Son of God made manifest, to destroy the works of the devil' (1 John 3:8).  Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, we ask You to expose and bring into the light negative inner emotions and strongholds that contradict Your Word and will. By the breath of Your Spirit, release Your truth as a sword to expose falsehood, curses of self-rejection, self-hatred, and reactive hatred, shame and bitterness, We take up the Sword of Your Word by faith and cut ourselves free from the bondage of strongholds in our family and generations. We ask all these things in Jesus our Lord and Savior Name, Amen!

Turning Your Pain into Power

Image
  "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore,  for the former things have passed away (R evelation 21:4 ESV)." T he journey of life has many twists and turns. There are times when a turn leads us to a place of pain. But, we have the ability to used that pain to catapult ourselves to the place of power. The loss of my younger sister was very painful. She unexpectedly died. I was hurt, cried for days, and thought my chest would burst open from the pain of her departure to be with Jesus.  Not only was she my sister, but my friend. Someone you couldn't help but love! She was loving, kind, compassionate, and caring.  I don't know a sweeter person than my sister, Janice (or JanBaby as our family referred to her).  She started singing at the age of three. You could feel the power of her love deep in your soul, down to your "bones", when she lifted her voice, and breathed ...

God Doesn't Err and Trouble Doesn't Last Always

Your life has many winding roads and complicated stops.   Jesus said, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world (John 16:33)." When you read the verse, your thought might be, "If Jesus has overcome the world, why does my world feels so broken?" In t he circle of life we have beginnings, endings, and everything in between.  The ebbs  and flows of life bring waters of both joy and pain. But, with God's guiding hands, it flows in a way that moves us upstream to a place of peace, blessings, rest and trust.  You may walk through the great darkness ravine, but you will get through it, because God's got you!    We are overcomers in mind, spirit and soul. Whatever you are going through, it too shall pass.  L ife may not be fair, but God is fair.  Psalm 56 , the psalmist declares to God, “ You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle...

The Reward of Persistent Prayer

Image
    [Jeremiah 29:12-13 (CJB)]: "When you call to me and pray to me, I will listen to you. When you seek me, you will find me, provided you seek from me wholeheartedly;" Dear Ladies, I write this blog with you and the many prayers that you have prayed in mind. Luke 18:2-5] "In a certain town, there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected other people. There was also in that town a widow who kept coming to him and saying, 'Give me a judgment against the man who is trying to ruin me.' For a long time he refused; but after awhile, he said to himself, 'I don't fear God, and I don't respect other people; but because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see to it that she gets justice - otherwise, she'll keep coming and pestering me till she wears me out!"  God is not a cruel judge. When we persist in prayer, we are not pestering Him! Jesus told his disciple this parable, in order to impress on them that they   must always keep praying   a...
