Psalm 34:17-19 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Revelation 21:8 “But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.โ
Psalm 10:13-14 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
Greetings In Grace โค๏ธ Beloved Ones,
I pray this post finds you well. Todayโs post is a little impromptu as I didnโt realize it was the 5th of the month. Itโs been a very eventful past couple of weeks & days, and I am still โgrasping my bearingsโ โ๏ธ per se. So just a few updates, I attended a live recording a few days ago that was AWEsome. I’m still gathering myself from what took place that night. I will soon be incorporating more music posts on my blog, this will include my personal creations and the creations of others that I know will be a blessing to you. ๐ถ With that being said, as soon as the recordings from that night are released I will be sharing it! Also our ministry is doing a 24 hour emergency fast until this evening AND YโALL ITโS BEEN QUICK & POWERFUL. โ๏ธ Looking forward to finishing strong and joining the saints in prayer & the word in a few hours. Weโd love for you to be apart, itโs a collaborative Kingdom effort, so ALL are welcome (message me or comment below for more details).
As many of you know today is also a very important day in history, as our new commander in chief or president ๐บ๐ธ will be selected this evening. With that being said there is a lot of activity going on right now in the spirit realm, and I encourage everyone to be prayerful ๐๐ฝ& watchful/vigilant๐. I just reached out to my loved ones to make sure everyone will be settled and safe as things are unfolding both spiritually and naturally. I encourage you to do the same, check on your loved ones and BE safe.
So God was impressing upon my heart โค๏ธ a few scriptures over these past weeks (see scriptures above). As I was pondering on them I heard todayโs title. And I admit this time I had mixed emotions ๐ฅน about what God was putting down. I was excited because I’m saved, but I know and love several others who are not. The bible says God DOES NOT want anyone to perish, but for all to be changed/saved (see 2 Peter 3:9). And beloved as Godโs daughter & friend I feel the same. Iโve heard and seen stories ๐ฑ about hell and itโs heart wrenching to think of that being anyone’s ending. Non-stop pain, suffering, torture, and eternal death is not the way to go. The bible says it will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (see Matthew 13:47-50).
See the enemy, the Devil, is always up to no good. He roams about the earth seeking whom he can devour (see 1 Peter 5:8). He does not fight fair! He lies and schemes to trick people into believing that if they serve him and live any kind of way (indulging in pleasure/flesh) they will be happy. And yes this may be somewhat โtrueโ, but as the old saying goes itโs all fun and games until someone gets hurt. ๐ข And beloved someone ALWAYS GETS HURT! You get strung along on this quick & easy magical fantasy ride until next thing you know it all comes crashing down/disaster. No matter to what extent we allow the enemy to have room in our hearts/minds and lives, it never ends well. For this reason I made up my mind ๐ง that he canโt and wonโt ๐ซhave any place in me or mine.
On the contrary God promises us just the opposite. He says that if you deny yourself now and suffer with HIM โ๏ธ you will have an everlasting abundant life (See 2 Timothy 2:12 & John 10:10). One may ask well why does God want us to suffer? The thing is friends, suffering is inevitable. We will either suffer with God or suffer without Him. But with Him ๐๐ฝ it is so much better. We will suffer for various reasons including: choices/decisions we & others make, living in a sinful fallen world, doing whatโs right, doing whatโs wrong, etc. But in the end it all comes down to who we suffer with and why we are suffering. Are we suffering for good or for bad? ๐คPerspective is everything!
Itโs important as we are going through the trials of life we ask God what it is He wants us to get from what we are going through. โ๏ธThere are always lessons to be learned in every test, trial, and tribulation. The thing is sometimes because we donโt ask or seek God as to what that lesson is we can often find ourselves going through the same troubles again and again. ๐ซ Think of it like we are in school, when we fail a significant test that’s required for our next level, we have to keep taking it until we pass. The good news is our teacher (God/Jesus/Holy Spirit) wants us to pass. In fact the bible ๐ says His divine power has given us everything we need as it pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS (see 2 Peter 1:3).
My leader says it like this: God wants us to LIVE LONG and LIVE WELL! Unfortunately our adversary the devil doesnโt want us to have either, but on the contrary his desire is for us to die prematurely and die full of sin/sickness. BUT NEVERTHELESS GOD IS FAITHFUL and provides us with a way of escape (see 1 Corinthians 10:13). And let me admonish you that any one who does not want you to live long and live well IS NOT INSPIRED BY GOD but by the devil. ๐ Stay Away. Transparent moment: it was really hard for me along my journey to think that I had anything in common with the enemy. It wasnโt until I had a wake up call that some of my behaviors were proving contrary. See beloved, our flesh/carnal mind is an enemy of God! This is why God says we must be transformed by the renewing of our minds (see Romans 12:2). We are all sinners in need of Godโs grace to save us from evil, including the evil right within our hearts.
But Iโm so glad, God again, gives us a way of escape. He says repent, change your mind and actions. Yet, again He doesnโt want us to even try to do this alone. He says that if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us of ALL ๐๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ unrighteousness (see 1 John 1:9). All we have to do is be honest and humble enough to come before God and say Lord I NEED YOUR HELP! And in our humble cry He will hear and answer! PRAISE GOD!
Letโs ๐๐ฝ Pray: Father thank you for loving us unconditionally. Thank you for giving us a way of escape through your Son Jesus. Who came to suffer, die, and be resurrected in power so that we could do the same. Forgive us for every sin, known and unknown. Wash us and purge us with hyssop until we become whiter than snow. We donโt mind laying down our life so that we can receive a greater one. And we acknowledge we need and want your help.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen.
