Start The New Year On The Solid Ground of Jesus

SF, Stagecoach, NV

 Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     The world offers such; pain, offence, suffering, despair, etc., because the enemy we need to shake off daily, is in the world.  Worrying about tomorrow is useless because it’s gone and yesterday, hasn’t happened yet.  How foolish we are to try.  We need to return to His Word seeking His grace, mercy and Love one day at a time – just like the song says.

Matthew 6:30-34 (NASB)

(30)  “But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!”

(31)  “Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?

(32)  “For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

(33)  “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

(34)  “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.

 Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

     As you can see, we’re told to NOT WORRY; not once, but twice, because He knows our needs and He will take care of you and me. 

     He’s not telling us to meditate on what might happen, but to trust Him, as we’re told in Proverbs 3:5-8 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.  Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear (reverence) the LORD and turn away from evil.”  The promise you can claim is in Verse 8: It will be healing to your (my) body And refreshment to your (my) bones. 

     I’ll have to admit; with all the attacks I had when I came to Nevada, before and after, it was Proverbs 3:5-8 I claimed.  Today I realize that the enemy thought, IF he took my husband, I wouldn’t come on my own, without family or friends here.  When I asked the Father IF I should still come, He asked, "will I walk thru the fires with Him".  My first thought was Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego (Daniel 3:19).  If Jesus went into the fire with them, He would be with me – so I said YES LORD and came.  I’ll admit it was difficult the first 2-3 years.  But now I have a whole new family, who the Lord uses to watch over me and even sent someone to be with me, when I had the stroke, since I live alone.  God truly never leaves us, or forsakes us – He’s Always With US! AMEN!

     So, the first step in Proverbs 3:5-8 is being assured (believe), in your heart  that what He says in the Bible is the TRUTH!  The second step is to not try to lean on your own understanding.  Because He knows what the enemy’s end game is and He will stop it before you will.  Then He can make your path straight.  The fourth step, is to not think you have all the answers – you don’t!  You can only see one step in front of yourself, whereas God sees the beginning from the end.  Hebrews 4:13 says, “And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.”  So, we can believe His Word is Truth, and He IS faithful!

     So start this year with cleansing yourself, by asking His forgiveness of your sin, known and unknown, then ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the unknown to you, so you can repent (change) your ways.  Then clean your house of anything that would be offensive to God.

     Forgiveness means; pardon, mercy and compassion.  Cleansing means; purification, washing purging decontamination and refining.  What in your house (literally) or body, needs cleansing?  Start the New Year afresh in Jesus your Redeemer and your Dad, both who love you to death.
     2017 will not be easier than 2016 – the enemy knows what’s coming – GOD, his creator, and is terrified.  Don’t give him a foothold in you.

May this New Year be a blessing in abundance to all,

Sandy F.

Casting Out Fear

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     Jesus taught us to lay hands on the sick.  We can’t allow fear to stop us from obeying this command [Mark 16:18].  We must develop a fearless attitude when we pray for miracles.  Doubt has to be dragged away like a corpse.  As we develop a positive, commanding attitude over the enemy and claim restoration.  It takes boldness and faith in your words agreeing with The Word, to see the miracles.

     Fear will be cast out of our hearts.  Many people never receive blessings because of feelings of inferiority and timidity.  Fear and faith cannot operate at the same time.  We must live in the Spirit with a consciousness that our active faith is what moves the hand of Dad.  Our fears will be defeated when our souls are restored.

     The enemy will not be able to confuse or stop us from obeying God’s Word.  Faith to receive healing comes through the Word of God.

Hebrews 11:1 NASB

“Now faith is the assurance

of things hoped for,

the conviction 

of things not seen.”

     When you have a thought or desire to speak your faith, it’s your assurance that what you hope for, that person will receive.  That’s where your conviction comes in so YOU WILL SEE IT MANIFEST.  Then always give God the Glory for the answer.

Romans 4:20-21 NASB

(20) “yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God,

(21) and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.”

John 4:48 NASB – REMEMBER..

So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders,

you simply will not believe.”

     Tell the Lord, you will be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, I will let my requests be known to You [Philippians 4:6].

     Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight.  I’ll see you one more time this year, then you’ll have to wait and see me in the New Year.

Blessings to all,

Become Bold As A Lion

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     Healing and miracles are supernatural acts of God the Father, in Jesus Name.  Our involvement is necessary.  Our faith must take action, and we must believe that Dad will do His part – according to His Word.

Isaiah 53:5 NKJ

“But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.”

1 Peter 2:24 NKJ

“who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree,that we,

having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes

you were healed.”

Matthew 16:18 NKJ

“they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly,

it will by no means hurt them;

they will lay hands on the sick,

and they will recover.”

o      Elijah built an altar and prayed for fire – God consumed the altar with fire [1 Kings 18:30-39].

o      Noah built the ark – God flooded the earth and saved him and his family when Noah was just 600 years old [Genesis Chapter 7].

o      Moses stretched out the rood – God parted the sea to deliver them [Exodus 14:21-27].

o      David put a stone in a slingshot – God killed the 9+ foot giant instantly [1 Samuel 17:33-53].   I like the fact the only cuss word used by David was “uncircumcised Philistine.”

     Dad, needs us to believe He WILL and use our hands, the fruit of our lips, and whatever else may be around [like David’s rocks] to help those sick or deliver them from whatever bondage they may be in.  That’s our job – be a vessel for the Father.  The Holy Spirit will tell you how.  Ask Him before you leave the house, “What can I do to GLORIFY MY FATHER TODAY?”

The wicked flee when no one pursues, but

THE RIGHTEOUS ARE BOLD AS A LION.

     Pray: Heavenly Father I enter Your courts with praise and adoration, for Your Word tells me I can come boldly before Your thrown [Hebrews 4:16].  Help me to fearlessly accomplish all You have for me today.

Hope your Christmas celebration is as joyful as mine and - Jesus made a way when there was none. PTL!

Blessings to all.

Release Your Healing

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     When truth penetrates our thoughts, faith leaps into our spirits.  Faith releases the power of God to heal and restore souls.  Go to a secret, quiet place.  Get ready to bare your heart and surrender yourself to God.  Be transparent.  Don’t be afraid.  Say: “In the name of Jesus, I cast fear out of my heart!”

     Now read the scripture and believe it, then repeat the prayer below.

1 John 1:6-9 NASB

(6) “If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; (7) but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.  (8) If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.  (9) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

 PRAYER:

     Heavenly Father, I surrender myself to You right now.  I admit that I need Your help.  I’ve messed up in many ways, and I repent of all disobedience and acts of my will that have taken me out of Your protection and blessings.

     I humbly ask Your forgiveness.  Cleanse me now, and renew a right spirit within me.  Father, I thank you and give You all the glory for transforming my soul and having mercy on me. – In Jesus’ Name I pray.

  

Blessings,

Healing of your body is dependent on...

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Healing of your body is dependent on...

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     The Word of God reveals the truth.  Healing of your body is dependent on the healing of your soul.  Studies done by health professionals conclude that Unforgiveness, resentment, hatred and bitterness can cause many diseases.

 

     Negative attitudes, whether in mind or emotions, can give an open door and a right for the devil to attack our physical bodies.  Once you obey God and forgive those who have hurt you, you will find it easier to receive and maintain healing.

     It all begins in the soul.  The Apostle John wrote: “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers”

 (3 John 2).

Ephesians 4:26-27 NASB

(26)  BE ANGRY, AND yet DO NOT SIN; do not let the sun go down on your anger, (27)  and do not give the devil an opportunity.

          Think about it, the Word says; in 1 Corinthians 2:16; "For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ" our only problem is that we need to do what Jesus did.  Obey what He saw the Father do, or in our case, obey the Word, which is what Jesus said.  “Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word." John 8:43).

     Daddy, I sincerely want to thank You for opening my spiritual eyes to see that the thief only comes to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.  But You my Father, have a better way.  You sent Your Son Jesus that I may have life, and that I may have it more abundantly. – I praise your Holy Name.

Blessings,

Psalms 142:7 NASB

“Bring my soul out of prison,
So that I may give thanks to Your name;
The righteous will surround me,
For You will deal bountifully with me.”

Acts 14:5  NASB

“And when a violent attempt was made by both

the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers,

to abuse and stone them,”

     PRAYER:

     Father, thank You for bringing my soul out of prison.  Thank You for setting me free from the poison of bitterness and iniquity.  Acts 7:23 “For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”  In Jesus Name, and by His Blood I receive the prison doors open and removed in my life.

The Role Of The Soul

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     Our soul plays an important part in our lives, causing an overflow of both negative and positive actions.
     The soul is the realm of the will, feeling, emotions, and spiritual perception.  It's the area where the essence of heart issues surface and determine the actions of the person.  Proverbs 4:23 “Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.”
     It is from this realm the Bible says that the issues of life emerge and originate.  The soul is like a warehouse of positive and negative emotions.  The soul stores negative emotions - some provoked by wounds caused by our own decisions and mistakes, and some caused by other people we love.
     Psalms 19:7 says, "The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple."
     The Lord can and does restore wounds caused by other people we love.  Many people may not be aware of the source of their torment.  
     Consider carefully the store of emotions in the soul, and seek the Holy Spirit's help in receiving a release of any hindering negative emotions.

Isaiah 53:5 NASB

"But He was pierced through for our transgressions,

He was crushed for our iniquities;

The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,

And by His scourging we are healed."

Psalms 19:7 NASB

“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is sure,
making wise the simple;”

Proverbs 16:24

"Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,

Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones."

PRAYER:
     I'm not hoping to be healed sometime in the future Daddy; I believe Your Word, that by His Stripes I have already been healed.

Blessings,

A Broken Spirit Can Be Healed

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     The holiday season, seems to be the hardest time due to; illness,  separation of body and spirit of loved ones (we don't die) or just being alone on the holidays.  There's always hope, for it's the foundation of our faith, "NOW Faith IS the assurance of things hoped for and the confidence of things not seen." [Hebrews 11:1].  
     So hang in there, at the rate the months are flying by, they'll be over quickly.  Try dwelling on the scripture that helped me... Proverbs 3:5-7 - (5) "Trust in the LORD with all your heart And DO NOT lean on your own understanding.  (6) In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.  (7) Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear [reverence] the LORD and turn away from evil."   

     Make it personal ... I will trust in the Lord with all my heart.  I will not lean on my own understanding.  In all my ways I will acknowledge Him, and He will direct my path, because He is MY Lord.

     Suffering is a big issue today.  Take a good look around and you will quickly notice anxiety, worry, panic attacks, and depression.

     Traumatic experiences can adversely affect the human spirit.  Only in the presence of God can we find healing and comfort.

     The Holy Spirit is ready and able to heal our brokenness.  Nothing is too damaged or impossible for the blood of Jesus to heal.  The price has already been paid at Calvary.

     Trauma is defined as shock, suffering, pain, distress, damage, and a lasting and strong negative impression.  It's effect can be seen as flashbacks, bitterness, fearfulness, anxiety, a feeling of uselessness and misery.  None of which brings Glory to the Father or creates a "Glorious Church" for His return.

     Only in the presence of God can a broken spirit be healed.  A mature prayer warrior can pray a powerful prayer of healing and deliverance, setting the person free.  Receiving freedom is a life-changing process- IF done correctly and by knowledgeable servants of God it will set the captives free.

     A mature prayer warrior can usually be found at; full gospel churches or any Spirit Filled body of Christ.  Call a local church and ask if they have a prayer service, or if you can meet someone after church for prayer.  A true Prayer Warrior would rejoice to serve you.

Proverbs 4:23 NASB

"Watch over your heart with all diligence,

For from it flow the springs of life."

John 14:27 NASB

"“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you;

not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."

Pray:
     I thank you Father, that my past does not determine my future.  I receive the freedom You offer through Christ Jesus.  Heal my broken spirit by the power of Your presence, forgive my sin, through the Blood of the Lamb - In Jesus Name, I praise You for my answer.

Your Sister In Christ I speak Blessing over you and your families.

God Heals The Wounds

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     Healing in the innermost of man is a miraculous process that only God, through His Holy Spirit can manifest.  Man can help a person normalize and suggest many things that are helpful and beneficial, but only God can heal.

     When God heals, man does not have to cope for the rest of his life, but becomes a free person – free from the past; of guilt and condemnation and is free of his fears [Romans 8:1 "Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.]  The scars may remain, but God heals the wounds.

     The transforming power of Christ is complete, setting a man FREE from emotional bondage, the past; abuse, offenses, and injustices.  It focuses on the roots of the issues without digging into all the little details, without hypnosis and imaginary trips to way down under.

Isaiah 43:18-19 NASB

(18)  "Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past. 

 (19) Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness,
Rivers in the desert.”

Prayer:

     Dear Abba, I desire to really know You and the depth of Your love for me.  Today I open my heart and welcome You completely into my life, asking You to heal all my painful situations and memories of my past.  In Jesus’ Name I ask and Praise You.

Blessings to you and your families,
