How/Why To Celebrate Faith?

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers, Sisters, Prodigals and Unsaved,

The very first thing, you should always do before you start reading the Bible, or any Christian material [including mine], is ASK the Holy Spirit to guide you in understanding what’s being said.  He’ll teach you “What to DO, or NOT DO.”  The Holy Spirit is OUR TEACHER and will never steer you in the wrong direction!

Whatever category you are in above, YOU were still created by Abba [Daddy-God].  You become empowered when you accept Jesus as your Lord.  All your sin is washed away, and you'll feel so FREE - and best of all, IF you sincerely asked the Lord for forgiveness and accept Jesus into your heart - ALL your sins are WASHED AWAY into the Sea of Forgetfulness, which means He will no longer remember.  That's FREE INDEED!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• [Hebrews 11:1-3 NASB] 1 Now faith is the assurance of [things] hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the men of old gained approval. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.”

NOTE: your FAITH IS THE ASSURANCE, that whatever is happening, and you’re assured of where it came from, the twerp [enemy] not from Abba [God], so this is a spiritual attack from the enemy [evil spirit].  In the Old Testament, those following Abba’s commandments knew they’d be attacked, - but they were assured that they’d be protected from evil - because they obeyed the Law of Moses.  But for us - we are assured by HIS AUTHORITY they didn’t have, by the blood of Jesus, that covers us.

Today, we have a better plan - we have the AUTHORITY to stop what the enemy is doing, simply by speaking “PEACE AND STILLNESS to any problem.  I would also use, the binding of them from doing you any harm.

• [Matthew 18:18 NASB]  "Truly I say to YOU, whatever YOU bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever YOU loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.”

Did you notice, how many “YOU’s” there are?  In other words, you must speak this - Abba will not, because He already gave YOU this power.  So truly we’re promised that what you speak with YOUR mouth can eliminate [or increase] the power of any storm or trial - depending how you speak.  The word “IF” is only used in the Bible, when it’s referring to the choice we make.  His way - or not, meaning blessing or cursing.

• [Matthew 8:23-27 NASB] 23 “When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. 25 And they came to [Him] and woke Him, saying, "Save [us,] Lord; we are perishing!" 26 He said to them, "Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm. 27 The men were amazed, and said, "What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

WHAT TO DO:  This major storm, caused the disciples to be scared out of their minds.  Yet Jesus was sound asleep.  Why were they afraid?  They were being moved by what they saw, forgetting they had the Son of God [Jesus] with them and there was no reason to FEAR!  All Jesus did - we should do during any storm or trial - REBUKED IT.  IF we don’t FEAR what’s happening, and rebuke it, by speaking the opposite to it “PEACE AND STILLNESS”  the enemy must stop what he’s doing.  Me, I would also speak Matthew 18:18 and tell it not to return - In Jesus’ Name!

The Israelites felt the same way, when they couldn’t see their families or animals getting across the water, before the Egyptian chariots chasing after them would attack them - so Abba made a way, by splitting the waters.  So they could walk on solid ground, then closed it up to destroy the Egyptians following them.

• [Isaiah 43:16 NASB] 16 Thus says the LORD, Who makes a way through the sea And a path through the mighty waters,”

MY EXAMPLE:  For about 6 months I was binding off & on the twerp, I was having chest pains and felt if I live or my spirit left this body, it didn’t matter, because I knew I was going to Heaven and that’s up to Abba, not the twerp. So I refused to go to the Doctor.  I asked good, strong Christians to pray for me - PTL.  

It turns out, it’s not what the Lord wanted for me - I have to finish my course.  I had some friends over, who noticed I started speaking funny and my face on the left side was drooping.  David walked me to a chair and said he was going to call the paramedics - but of course this stubborn german/polish gal said no way.  So he called my “spiritual parents” they came, praying in the Spirit during the 12 minute drive.  Then they said you have to go to hospital.  So in I went.

The only concern I’ve had since moving from IL to NV as a Widow by myself, was anything happening to me while I was alone.  I had prayed about this as our Father IS SO GOOD, that He had 2 people here.  HOW GREAT HE IS!  He remembered my prayer from October 2004 - September 2012!

The outcome, was I came home in only 3 days after having a stroke.  With only 2 side effects; 1) left leg if I walked too much, would start to drag a bit and 2) my memory went done some. When I came home, I stood in a big 7 x 7 window and laughed at the twerp - He was unable to accomplish destroying me from doing the blog and other works Abba has planned for me.  I also apologized to David & Ginger giving them a hard time about going to the Hospital.

My leg is fine now and my memory is probably more because I’m not a “spring chicken” anymore.  I keep claiming - ALL is WELL with ME!

• [Psalm 103:5 NASB] “Who satisfies your [my] years with good things, [So that] your youth is renewed like the eagle.”

So my declaration this day, is to you: Jesus, thank You for  calming the storms and trials in every one's life, who's reading this blog - making a way they need, where there was none.

FYI:  I believe the Lord has led me to a new place for the blog.  It will cover 200 countries and in 16 various languages.  I’ll let you know when/where you’ll be able to find me.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS - ABBA HEARD AND ANSWERED!

Blessings to you and your family,

Your Sister in Christ,
