God has a good plan for your life. The enemy will do everything he can to paralyze you (at a young age), to cripple you emotionally, so that you do not step into your God-given destiny. The Scripture tells us: “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). By and through Jesus alone God accomplishes His personal will through us. 

On the other hand, Satan turns a person’s natural search for truth into full blown confusion. Satan is the father of lies and author of confusion. He distracts and diverts attention from the one true way by substituting religious activity for the truth. As a result, the baby Christian does the will of God as he conceives it, not as he receives it. No one can truly walk with God or worship Him except by the Holy Spirit. 

You have to stay in the live zone of God–not the dead zone–where you don’t hear God. It’s like driving down the road with your husband following you and you look out the rearview mirror and see his hand outside the car trying to get your attention. This actually happened once. We learned that his phone was registering three calls to me, but my phone was not picking them up. Even though we were close, the calls were not coming through. It was just a dead zone for cellular calls. We have to live in the Spirit of God, where we hear His Voice at the slightest whisper at the door of our hearts. Amen.  God speaks–but we have to learn to hear Him and receive His Word. It’s similar to being tuned in to a particular radio station. You have to get rid of the static and excess noise. 

The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. (Isaiah 58:11). 

God has not given you a spirit of fear–but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. No matter what the enemy is saying to move you to fear–step out and do whatever God has called you to do even if you are afraid. Souls are a stake–time is short. 

My prayer is that God’s Spirit falls in supernatural revival–to the point there is overflow much like the times of 9.11.2001 where every church was filled to overflow. I ask the LORD to give us all a greater heart for an end time harvest of souls—advancing God’s kingdom. 

So, no matter what you are walking through, no matter how the enemy is whispering lies in your ears–choose to speak life and believe God. Don’t you dare cower down to enemy tactics–no matter how they come. Encourage yourself in the LORD. HE goes before you to make every crooked place straight. Honor HIS WORD and laugh at the devil. Instead of listening to your fears, listen to THE FATHER GOD. Get your praise on…and keep on being a worshipper of the MOST HIGH KING! The Blood of JESUS covers you and clears the way for you to tell the world about Jesus. #telltheworldaboutJesus #trueworshippers#THEKINGOFTHEUNIVERSE #JESUS #LORDGODALMIGHTY#Noplotcanstand #GodfrustratesALLevilplots #divinepurpose

DIVINE FAVOR 

“For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield” (Psalm 5:12). 

The Bible makes it clear for us that the favor of the LORD is like a shield that surrounds and protects the believer on every side. That’s great news my friends! No matter what circumstance you are dealing with and praying through, no matter what sudden storm you find yourself in, you can be confident in God that you are absolutely safe under His protection. He saved Daniel from the den of lions, He parted the Red Sea to allow the Israelites to cross over. The same sea God parted to save the Israelites was used by God to destroy their enemies. 

When we cultivate the righteousness of God, His favor surrounds us like a shield. The Bible says, “The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion; but his favor is like dew upon the grass” (Proverbs 19:12). 

Keep a humble heart and childlike spirit; keep walking with the Lord in His righteousness. Every child of God that walks in His favor brings the rain of His grace and blessings to everyone he/she meets. It’s like a sweet smelling fragrance—like fresh rain on a hot day.  *Isaiah 66:2 says, “These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.” 

“Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing”  (2 Corinthians 2:14-15). 

Keep a pure heart toward the Lord by living in and out of His Holy Word. Listen with your heart. See what God is showing you with spiritual eyes. May the seven-fold spirits of God rest upon you. God wants to use you to bring about restoration and reconciliation. May the spirit of wisdom and love and the spirit of counsel be upon you to speak the Truth in love to all people. 

God is still searching throughout the earth to find those whose hearts are fully His (2 Chronicles 16:9). When He finds such people, He will show Himself strong on their behalf, manifesting divine favor in and through them for all the world to see. Let us choose to be such people—lovers of God, and loving people. God created YOU to be a world changer—ambassadors of Jesus Christ to be His heart, hands, and feet to the lost and hurting world around you. You are God’s secret agent—cleverly disguised in whatever sphere of influence you find yourself. Be the change you want to see in the world! (Excerpt from GOD’S PRICELESS TREASURE, Charisma/Creation House Press, published 2011).

With the countless times of divine intervention, the Holy Spirit’s leading, and the amazing ways God speaks will keep you turning the pages. The same resurrection power that raised Jesus…raised my husband from death, healed him from two strokes, and manifested His Presence with us through two open heart surgeries and 25 days at Mercy.

THE MIDNIGHT HOUR (Will America Turn Back To God?)…a must read for every family, every leader, every minister. 

Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, www.starministriesinc.com and other distributors. Available wherever Deborah ministers and speaks. 

People prepare for weddings, funerals, the arrival of a new baby, college, events, vacation, interviews for a new position, etc., but nobody prepares for cancer. It hits the newborn baby, the toddler, the child, teenager, your sibling, your best friend, adults and elderly. Then, all of a sudden, every moment becomes precious in life. Life is cut short—and people are left with the pain and heartache from that last wrong word, the loss of a loved one, and the emptiness that is left behind long after the funeral. Some are left with fond memories they have built together and peace if they know the person is in Heaven with God through salvation. 

Grief is a process—and we must walk through it with God and loved ones. The worst thing any of us can do is to isolate ourselves. That’s where the enemy has a field day with the mind…and will attack in all kinds of ways. It is imperative to renew the mind in God’s Word and pray in order to recognize the lies of the enemy. 

People prepare in great detail for the wedding day—so that every single thing is handled. From properly addressed invitations, to rehearsal dinners, flowers, venue arrangements, to cakes and dresses, “Thank You” notes, etc., —but nobody prepares for affairs, adultery, separation and divorce that destroys whole families. 

People plan to build a family. While some couples can’t have children—they choose to adopt. People don’t plan to destroy their own family. I don’t believe for one moment that anyone in their right mind prepares to bring about destruction on purpose.

Sex was created by God for man. He created us to be fruitful and to multiply. God loves family. 

Satan twists, thwarts, and threatens all mankind with his lies because he knows his time is short. He cannot create—so he imitates and thwarts to bring about death, despair, discord, disease, division, and destruction—through wrong soul ties. He is the author of confusion! 

We live in a time where there is a war on the Truth. Truth always outweighs fact. In the end, Truth—the Word of God—will stand. Lies, deception, wars of words, and corruption in media is at an all-time high BUT GOD’S WORD STANDS FOREVER. He reveals all hidden truth. The Bible says, “The Holy Spirit reveals all hidden truth and shows us things to come.” God said it—that settles it! 

People have hopes and dreams and plans. God is good. He does good and wants to do good. He is a good Father. He gave us His Son Jesus and His Word to guide us through this life, and to prepare us here on earth for eternity. God has a good plan for your life (Jeremiah 29:11). He says, “You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13). The Lord wants us, His creation, to seek Him. He is not hiding out—but we only treasure what we seek. Treasure your destiny enough to step out of drama (devil racing after my assignment). Treasure family and friends. Life is not promised for tomorrow. You only get one life here—so live it pleasing God and glorifying Him by your actions! 

Family doesn’t simply matter—it is all that matters. There is one family you must make sure you are in before it’s too late—that’s the FAMILY OF GOD. If you are breathing, it is not too late to call upon the Name of JESUS! Jesus is interceding for us that our faith will not fail. While He is interceding for us, we are given the gift of prayer and power in prayer. 

Use your God-given authority today to decree and declare God’s Word—His Promises—over your life. Speak life over your family, friends, and bless your enemies. For if they knew the gift of God, if they knew they were blinded by sin, if they knew that all that matters is family and eternity, they would turn from their sin and repent. May I ask you this question: Have you prepared for eternity? Choose to walk in the light! 

Pray with me that the eyes of all lost and hurting family, friends, and enemies would be opened and hearts healed NOW IN JESUS’ NAME—let there be light. May the eyes of their understanding be enlightened. Let today be the day of salvation. In Jesus’ Name. Amen. Now, take time to praise HIM! 

Love,
