INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO YOUR FEARS, LISTEN TO THE FATHER

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

WHO DO YOU LOVE THE MOST?

Who do you love? Who do you live to please? Who is on your mind when you wake up each morning? 

Be a God-pleaser! God gave His Son Jesus because of His great love for all mankind. We must be so in love with Jesus that we want all to know Him too. Love your family and friends enough to tell them the Truth of God’s Word. God will not change His Word for anyone. Jesus is coming back–and we can’t live any old way we like. 

In John 14:23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.” (NIV). 

People may abandon you, many will criticize you, disconnect from you, and run from God when you tell them the Truth–OR they will fall in love with Jesus. People may criticize you and make fun of you because of your relationship with Jesus–but remember, in the end…it will be worth it all. 

Truth will offend some people. God’s Word and His Truth can be understood by the world around us and in practical ways. Many people deny spiritual truth because it seems easier, but doing things the wrong way still brings about delayed consequences. 

People want everything right now—rather than doing life God’s way. Do you get so mad when an elevator is full—that you choose to go the roof and jump to your death on the street? I don’t think so. You might choose to take the stairs—all seventeen flights—and be worn out at the bottom. Huffing and puffing like a blow fish. People have grown impatient with waiting for anything. Look at what God’s Word says in Isaiah 40:31: 

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” 

As Christians, we cannot ignore God’s Word…because it may be unpopular or cause division. When a person is confronted with truth, he or she will do one of two things—respond or react. The heart that is tender to God will respond. The tender heart is moved to tears and compassion and obedience. The tough heart may throw a temper-tantrum, a pity-party, disconnect, and deny the Truth. The heart that is tough, bitter, unforgiving, angry and rebellious will react.

We must love people enough to speak the Truth in love—no matter what. Eternity is forever. This life is passing away. Look at what Jesus said in Matthew 24:10-12: “And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and hate one another” (KJV). 

Jesus said, “Blessed is he, whoever shall not be offended in Me” (Matthew 11:6).

“Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:12-14). 

Take time to read all of Matthew 24. Remember, even Truth presented in love will offend some people. We must love people enough to offer them everlasting life in Jesus Christ! 

Love,

Deborah

WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU?

Written by Deborah. Posted in #TellTheWorld, #TellTheWorldAboutJesus, #TransformingNationsBroadcast, A LEAP OF FAITH (25 Days At The Mercy Seat), Destiny, DIVINE DESTINY, DRAMA TO DESTINY, Elections and leaders, Encouragement, ENDTIMES, FAITH, Family, FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS, FEAR, Fishing for souls, FOLLOWING JESUS, God, God's Favor, God's Priceless Treasure, God's Word, Godly Associations, Government of the Land, Guidance, Hearing God, Holy Spirit, HONOR AUTHORITY, Intercession, JESUS IS ALIVE, Kings and Presidents, LAST DAYS, Love, Media, Money and leadership, Obedience, PAIN TO PURPOSE, Presidents, Purim, Purpose, Resurrection Power, STEP INTO PURPOSE, The Midnight Hour (Will America Turn Back To God?), TRAGEDY TO TRIUMPH, Trust God, Uncategorized, Wisdom

If you were outside your home and saw your child walking too close to the road, you would run after your child and get their attention with spoken words, right? No good parent wants their child’s life cut short. You would yell “No,” rather quickly and not think twice about it…for sure. 

You will take a stand if you are going to lose everything. You will take a stand when you align yourself with God and see people walking down a wrong path. 

If you were clipping limbs off a tree and a copperhead snake slivered out, would you pet it and invite it in for dinner or cut the head off? You either have to stand up to evil or be bitten. Satan is mad and there is a real war raging over the future of America and the nations, over the culture, over destiny and the prophetic. Satan knows his time is short. 

Laws have been changed to go against God’s Word, bills that appear good for the people but bring about destruction and ruin are in place, and like the leadership had to be changed in the time of Daniel, we need a change in some areas as well. (See Daniel chapter 1). Daniel and his friends faced the opportunity to please God or please mankind. For Daniel, he chose to obey God. 

Satan knows how to cleverly disguise something to appear good, to save us money or make it appear that way, but in the end to bring about destruction. Any time a person is moved by padding their own pockets, and do not care about the good of the people, it is an evil plot. 

Esther encountered such a time as this recorded in the Bible. God saved the Jewish people because Esther chose to stand up and take a risk.

In our culture and media, God’s name is mentioned with little reverence. Only in the midst of tragedy did the nation turn to God on September 11, 2001 for about three weeks. Satan has infiltrated the minds of people to even state that people who hear God have some type of mental illness. 

Instead of allowing the enemy to devour and destroy us, it’s time for pest control. Get rid of fear, doubt, and unbelief. Run the enemy out of your mind and heart. Take a stand and speak truth in love. 

If at any time any of us get more concerned about money than we are souls, we are in trouble. If a pastor won’t speak truth to a person because he or she is one of their biggest givers in the church, or speak to friends and family who go against God’s Word, it is no different than big government that is more concerned with profit than the people they are called to serve. 

Fear can prevent any of us from taking a risk and taking a stand. It’s time for all people to know that we can live and have abundant life in Christ—but the world system and God’s ways are not the same. 

God’s ways are always best. Our view of Him impacts three areas of our lives. First, our prayers. When we recognize His greatness and power, we will become more confident that He can accomplish mighty things—(Ephesians 3:20; James 4:2). 

Second, our understanding of God’s righteousness and His goodness influences our behavior. As we desire to be more Christlike, if we want to be blessed by Him, then it is in our best interest to quickly obey Him and His Word. As we desire to be like Him, to desire righteousness, we will be quick to repent of sin instead of blaming people, manipulating, and acting out in the flesh. 

Third, our faith is highly impacted. Knowing that God can be trusted, that we know He is good and wants the best for us, causes us to fully trust Him. Knowing God and remembering His awesome acts on behalf of all mankind and those in our personal lives will build our confidence in Him. 

The Bible says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand” (John 10:27-28).  Who on earth would not want eternal life in Christ? 

God’s name was not mentioned in the entire book of Esther but His Hand was evident throughout. God is awesome. He is forever to be praised. He saves His people. 

Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from Haman, who was planning to kill all the Jews. Purim, or the Feast of Lots, is a joyous holiday that recounts the saving of the Jews from a threatened massacre during the Persian period. Esther, who chose to take a stand shows the leading role she played in saving her people. She chose. She took a risk. 

Look at her background for a moment. “Mordecai had a cousin named Hadassah, whom he had brought up because she had neither father nor mother. This young woman, who was also known as Esther, had a lovely figure and was beautiful. Mordecai had taken her as his own daughter when her father and mother died” (Esther 2:7). 

Take time to read the Book of Esther. Ask the Lord to open your eyes to come under His Mighty Hand—the Holy Spirit, Prayer, the Word of God, the five-fold ministry, and the brethren. Don’t allow the enemy of your soul to isolate you from those you love. Satan is evil and always scheming to take God’s people out.

Our rights come from God, not from government. Every living human being has a soul. God has a plan and a purpose for every person…it’s up to us as individuals to make the choice to obey God or not, to receive the gift of eternal life or not. Will you choose? What will it take for you? 

Stand strong, take a stand, step out and take a risk with God. When we wholeheartedly align ourselves with God…we stand with Him. We cooperate with His plan and purposes in the earth. Since God is for us, nothing can be against us. I have read the end of the Bible—and it ends well. How will your story end? 

God is raising up precious men and women of God who will take a stand with Him, and spread the message of hope in God—the Blessed Hope—Jesus Christ! The Promises of God are “yes” and “amen.” God’s best is stored up for you. Yes, you will have to overcome obstacles and opposition in order to lay hold on all God has for you. Meditate upon God’s Word. Pray the Word and obey God’s instructions. Get His Word on the inside and then share it with the world about you. The Word of God will sustain you through the fire, through the storms, and while you are fighting the good fight of faith required to lay hold of all God has promised. 

Share the Word…tell your children and grandchildren. Tell your family, friends, and those who come against you. Tell the world about Jesus! 

God may have called you to take a stand in the realm of government, He may have called you to do full-time ministry, or start your own business. God may have you homeschooling your kids, raising your family to know God or you may be a full-time parent and work a full-time job as well. God’s plan and purpose for you is good…the most important thing you will ever do is fully and wholeheartedly receive and align yourself with God through Jesus Christ! The second most important thing is living that life out before the world around you…will you take a stand for Christ? 

Love,

Deborah
