Powerful In The Holy Ghost

There is so much power in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I don't know if we know how much power we really have access to. I do not know if we understand the power that resides in us is through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Today, if you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, I implore you to try him today.  Try accessing that life changing power today.   I truly believe that we have various opportunities throughout the day to Minister to the needs of others. With such great access to such great power, why are we holding back??? Could it be that we are so busy with life that we miss our heavenly opportunities?

We do not even have the imagination of what the Holy Spirit can, will, shall, and must do through us. Will you even try today? Don't miss a moment to show God's Love, Majesty, Mercy, Grace, Power, Miracles, Signs, and/or His Wonders.

As I was reading my devotional today it took me to Acts 3.  Peter and John have been recently baptized with fire in the Holy Spirit. They are about to enter the temple and run into a man at the gate called Beautiful. The Bible said he was a lame man and had been that way for 40 years, since birth as a matter of fact. He was there begging for money which is what he did daily.

When the apostles see this man the first thing, they did was felt compassion for him. The ministry that Jesus operated in all the time, kicked in and they began to engage him by speaking to him. Next, they gave him something, not what he wanted or what he asked for. But how many of you know that if you have been unable to walk for 40 years…. I believe it is safe to say that the lame man knew and felt like this was his lot in life. His thoughts could possibly have been I will be like this for the rest of my life. The rest of my days I will be unable to walk, unable to provide for myself or my family without coming here and begging. I think it is a safe It is safe to say that he was relegated to this position and or posture.

However, here comes the Disruptors (Peter and John) with their no having silver and gold selves.  Answering the lame man responded by saying this is what I have for you.  Take up your bed and walk in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene. And suddenly, his feet felt something that they had never felt before. Power surged in his body and he began to stand up in the power of the Holy Spirit. The Bible said at once he stood up. He began to walk around on his new legs and feet. Any entered into the temple, leaping and jumping and praising God.

So once again, my brothers and sisters, I implore you to access the power of the Holy Spirit that God has granted you and Jesus gifted you. Go out today and throughout your day and throughout your week seek who you can bless with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Who will cross your path today or tomorrow? And You will access the power of the Holy Spirit, operate in the ministry that Jesus called You to, and witness the power of the Holy Spirit move on behalf of the person you are praying for.

Yours in Christ

His Death, His Resurrection and His Ascension

WOW as I read about Jesus’s death, resurrection, and ascension I am encouraged.  He reminded his disciples to take communion and to remember they are now entering into a new covenant.  This new covenant represents all that is embodied in the Lord’s Supper.  “Do this in remembrance of me” is what Jesus says…When we participate in communion and remember all what Jesus paid for, we begin to get a glimpse of the death, resurrection, and ascension.   

My God if we would get that point that it is as often as we remember that we take communion. What a blessed Remembrance it is to know that he took ALL our sins away. We must remember the cross, the grave, the resurrection, and the ascension….the memory of these four events will cause us to be blessed.  What we need to remember and never forget about the cross is that Jesus said “IT IS FINISHED”. 

Do not live in the grave but remember that He is Risen, he is out of the grave as we should be. We are to no longer wallow in self-pity and doubt, He is Seated next to his father in heaven and we are seated in Christ Jesus in heavenly places. Ohhh what a mighty place to be in….in Christ Jesus in heavenly places. In this place we have the Fullness of Joy. When we miss the vision and purpose of the death, the resurrection, and the ascension we do not have a chance to come into the fullness of the ministry of the spirit.

There is a reason we do not have the Fullness of Joy. There are dead areas in our lives that need the Lord's resurrection power to touch them. We need to ask Holy Spirit to reveal the fullness of the redemption for you and I today, so you and I can be clothed in power.   To get to that position in our lives we must have a contrite heart and a broken spirit. 

Our hearts may be already bruised and broken by the world and life’s circumstances and situations…Ohhh, my dear friend to be broken by God, and for God is different. We must come to God with no games, we come to our maker, our creator, our manufacturer, and let him restore, repair, mend and set us up in our rightful positions.  We must let God have all of our cares, all of our proclivities, all of our issues, all of our stressors, all of our sin, all of our unforgiveness, all of our hard heartedness, all of our double mindedness, all of our fears, doubt and unbelief and we give it ALL away and we totally Surrender. So, you and I can honestly receive His power and say Your will be done in our lives.   

Let’s remember All that the cross represents…His Death, His Resurrection, and His Ascension and Our Redemption. Take a moment today and take communion with your family and friends or by yourself receive All that it represents in Jesus name AMEN.

Yours in Christ

Remember the Fight is Fixed

Well, I wanted to share this encouraging word with you today.  So, I am in an early morning group text with some Amazing people.  The word shared this morning reminded me that the Fight is Fixed.  Now what he said was that we are to fight in Faith no matter the opposition.  BUT as soon as I read those words, I heard the Holy Spirit say so clearly Yes, Darling the Fight is Fixed. 

I immediately was reminded of the scripture of 1 Timothy 6:12 NIV - Fight the good Fight of the Faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

It is a Good Fight.  What you say! Yesss, it’s a good Fight because we win.  When you and I Fight in Faith we gain access. Access to the full force of heaven to back us up during opposition.  When we became believers, we were given the measure of FAITH.  This measure of FAITH is what supplies access for us to win.

We need to remember we are victorious when we Fight in Faith.  As we take hold of the eternal life to which we were called All the benefits of that calling are Now ours.  Winning our battles due to fixed fights are part of the benefits. 

The plan of the Lord is that He always causes us to win. We need to be aware of the opposition in our lives and how to use our FAITH to combat its affects. 

Let’s remember the Fight is Fixed and you win.

Yours in Christ,

Be Encouraged I GOT YOU!

Be encouraged Saints of God.  For our God is with us even in these tumultuous times.  He is with us.  We will not be distracted by the negative naysayers. We will not be distracted by the Media whether it is Social, Local, or National.  As children of the most-high GOD we must spend more time in HIM than we spend on the things of this world. 

We must recognize when the enemy is using our surroundings against us.  We can become so distracted in the frustration, aggravation, and the disruption that we don’t even realized that it is the handy work of the enemy.   We must regain our focus and see where the enemy has caused issues, stress, and dissension.  All this confusion is to take us off the path that has been preordained for us to follow. 

Your Destiny has been pre-determined before the foundations of the world were even established.  You are created for such a time as this.  We must be in alignment with what GOD has for us.   Satan’s plan is to disrupt this alignment and push us off the path.   

Once we have regained our focus which is on the Lord our perspectives change.  We are now capable of seeing the hand of the LORD and the plan of the enemy.  Our alignment with our Father means we are on the Divinely Lit Path that God has for us.  This path reveals and therefore we have wisdom in all things.

Prayer:

I declare and decree that you shall remain steadfast and unmovable in the word of the Lord and the plans that He has for your life.  I declare and decree that God is for you and no enemy shall prevail against you.  Lord I thank that You go before us and You are with us.  I thank You Lord that You shall not fail, nor desert us, nor leave us high and dry. We shall not be afraid, discouraged, or lost for You Lord have us in the palm of Your hands in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen

A Call to FAST

Prophetic Perspectives. A Call to FAST

Think it not strange that the Lord calls the leader of the state to declare a fast. Think it not strange to join the fast and pray for your State, Nation, and World.

It was not strange for Queen Esther to call for a fast for 3 days.  She and all of her handmaidens went on a three day fast to save her people.  The entire nation of Israel was marked for death.

Esther 4:16   Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish. 

Esther and her handmaidens took a stance along with all the Jewish people in the country and for 3 days and 3 nights they neither ate nor drank.  Here we are in 2020 with a virus that has been loosed in the land and is wreaking havoc on the people.  Our Governor (state leader) has declared a fast during our lunch time. 

God is no respecter of persons if He did it for Esther surely, He can do it for Louisiana.  Let us join our Faith together and Fast and Pray.

Master the Instruction

Master the Instruction its your Turn…

In my quiet time of prayer meditating in the morning Holy Spirit began highlighting Peter and his occupation which was that of a fisherman.  I began to recall that he had a fishing business, and this was how Peter provided for his family.  As I pondered this, I transition into reading my devotional and scriptures and there it was the story of Peter the fisherman, the taxes, and the coin in the fish’s mouth. 

Not 5 minutes earlier I was receiving a word from Holy Spirit and now I am reading the very scriptures about Peter the fisherman, the fish and the coin.  And on this morning the thoughts of Peter were highlighted so bright.  Not only was fishing his job, his profession, and how he provided for his family, but it was his Gift.  It was his gift that took care of his family. His profession, his gifting, was used to provide for his family and pay his taxes without any hindrances.

In Matthew Ch 17:24-27 we read about the temple tax. Peter was confronted about Jesus paying taxes.  If you know the story, then you know that Peter says yes Jesus pays the tax but immediately returns to Jesus to ask if it is so.   After a brief dialogue, Jesus instructed Peter to go to the lake throw out a hook and the 1st fish caught would have a Gold coin in its mouth.  This coin would be enough for Jesus’s taxes and Peter’s taxes. Peter followed the instructions of the LORD and received the blessing. 

It was the instruction from Jesus and the obedience of Peter to go fish and  the coin would be in the mouth of the fish to pay not only Jesus’s taxes but Peter’s taxes as well.  It is time to Master the Instruction.  The Lord is instructing you today to accomplish an assignment given to you.  Perhaps he's already instructed you in times past and you have not obeyed the instruction.  Now is the time for your obedience. If Jesus says it then it is so.  It is now your responsibility to do as He instructed, and His instructions are to your benefit. 

HINT/CLUE

Jesus told Peter to go do something he already knew how to do.  Jesus put His supernatural on Peter’s gift of fishing.  What is your Gift? Jesus is waiting.

Prayer for Today: Mark 11:23

Today let's believe the word of God.

Father I sit and listen for your instructions for me in this day.  I pray to have the boldness and the courage to carry out the instructions that you give to me. I know it is in my obedience to the instructions, that your will is done in the Earth realm.  And through my obedience I receive the benefits, rewards, and the blessings of your Supernatural abilities in my life.   I thank you Lord when I Master the Instructions that you give me, I am successful and reap an amazing harvest in Jesus's name Amen. 

Yours in Christ

Fortify

Fortify

 What is fortify and how do I successfully establish this in my home.

 A couple of months ago the Holy Spirit said FORTIFY.  I was like what do you mean LORD. Fortify what?  HE spoke again saying Fortify.  So, I sat still and began to listen to what the Holy Spirit was telling me.  He said Fortify everything.

So, I began with defining fortify so that I had a clear and complete understanding of what the Holy Spirit was telling me.

 Fortify according to the dictionary defined it as a verb - to strengthen a place with defensive mechanisms to protect it from attacks.  Another definition defining Fortify was to invigorate a person mentally or physically or a building or a place by restoration, reviving, refreshing, or rejuvenating it.  This reminded me of Nehemiah and the defenses of Jerusalem.

  How to fortify your home:

You must first identify all breaches in your home.  Once you have identified where you have holes, cracks, and gaps in your walls you make preparation to repair them.   Now you must assess what supplies you will need (The WORD) to repair them. Determine whether you need some patch work (Confessions) or do I need to repair a section, by strengthening the entire wall and you rebuild by using (Fasting and Praying) by the word of the Lord.

 How to fortify your family’s health:

You must identify the areas in your family's lives where the enemy has taken ground.  Once you know where the enemy has taken ground in your Children and your Spouse you prepare yourself with the word of God to go and repair those areas.  Where health is a concern you combat sickness and disease with health, healing and wholeness scriptures for example by his stripes I am healed.  The Lord sent his word and healed them from all disease and destruction, or healing is the children's bread that is our portion.  These are some of the scriptures you can use to go after those areas with the word of God. It is important that we arm ourselves with the sword of the spirit which is the Word of God.

 How to fortify your finances:

Fortifying your finances is a must too, attacks on your finances must be strengthened with the word of God. Using scriptures like there is no lack in the Kingdom of God.   Isaac sowed in a famine and reaped a hundredfold, my God shall supply All my needs in riches in His Glory, my God is sufficient, He gives me daily bread, are just a few of the promises you must learn and apply to your life.  God has a glorious inheritance for his children to lay hold of Hallelujah.  We must utilize them daily.

 How to fortify your (Atmosphere):

If there is strife and contention in the family you begin to wage war and fortify your home with Peace, the peace of God that surpasses understanding, Great is Jesus’s Peace therefore Great is my Peace and my composure is undisturbed.  Peace is a gift given to us from Jesus.  Jesus says my peace I give you, how amazing is that.  I have Jesus’s Peace working in me.   To God be the Glory I don’t have to rely on my own but what Jesus gives. 

 How to fortify your children!

If you have school-age children, they too must be fortified and strengthened with the word of God on how to be a Christian servant leader; how to be a Christian influencer and live a life that's up right in the eyes of the Lord.  Learning to combat social norms like bullying, disrespect, speaking negative words over themselves and or others will have to be taught and practiced.

 For our children to remain the Christian influences that we are raising them to be; we as parents need to continuously plant the word of God in them as well as plant the heavens on their behalf.   When I say plant the Heavens I mean speak, declare, decree their DESTINY in prayer.  Our children will enhance their culture, they will shift atmospheres with the peace of God that rest on them.  When our children come into a room in the name of Jesus, Favor, Grace, Peace, Mercy, Authority, and Power follows.  

 My Prayer:

Anything lost in battle, anything stolen, anything misplaced, and mishandled by myself and or my family Lord I repent right now in Jesus name.  I ask for forgiveness in all areas Lord and I thank you for the strategy of Fortify.

 Lord God I thank you that you will not forsake me and you will not leave me.  Even though it seems I have lost so much, been under so much oppression you are my Lord My God and you will defend me and my family.  I thank you for the strategy to fortify my life, my family, my home, my children, my spouse, and my belongings.  Everything that belongs to me that you have given me stewardship over Lord strengthen me as I strengthen my walls so that it is all protected.  I thank you for the Nehemiah anointing to repair, restore, revive, rejuvenate, refresh and rebuild all to completion.   Father I give you Glory and Honor in Jesus name Amen.

Yours in Christ
