More of You

 More of You, Nothing Less Will Do 

Psalm 139:1-5 - "O Lord You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are aquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold O Lord, You know it altogether." 


Psalm 139:17-18 - "How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them. If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You."

 

We may not be able to figure God out, but we are able to know Him. The answer to all of our problems is supernatural. The power to overcome is within us. The Holy Spirit guides us according to His attributes. He is the Spirit of Truth, Prayer, Peace, and Comfort. He is our Counselor, Teacher, Helper, and Restainer. He is the Standard of Love by which we are to be directed.

 

We need to be freed from reasoning to be in tune with the Holy Spirit. Reasoning comes when we are vulnerable and confused about things that are happening to us or around us. Reasoning concludes that God is not good setting us up to align with toxic emotions. This is the primary tool of deception the enemy uses against us. We must turn the battlefield of reasoning in our minds over to the Lord.

 

The enemy is searching for an entry in our lives through our emotions. Toxic emotions such as guilt, shame, regret, grief, self-pity, and condemnation are based in unbelief and are entryways the enemy uses to obtain access into our minds. Toxic emotions are survivors, returning again and again to hold us captive and to move us out of faith. They remind us of past mistakes or failures continually drawing us into the judgment assigned to the enemy. God judges and marks wrong things for removal from our lives. He has not given us the spirit of guilt or fear, but He gives us power, love, and a sound mind. 

 

We must align with the truth about our situation. God is greater than our mistakes and failures. He takes our failures and defeats and turns them around for our good. He makes us new and brings us into peace. 

 

The key is to turn away from any thought or feeling that does not produce peace. Toxic emotions produce anxiety and depression. God’s plans for us are of peace and welfare, of hope and a good outcome even in our times of failure. He is ready to rescue us any time and every time we ask. 

 

God is willing and able to face-off every enemy to make sure we are free. Our enemy is not more powerful than Holy Spirit within us.

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....

The Fifth Month - Av - The Month to Hear

--> The Fifth Month – Av The Month to Hear For a number of years I have been studying and praying for insight into how the Lord moves and works in time. We learn in 1 Chronicles 12:32 that the Sons of Issachar had an understanding of the times and knew what Israel ought to do.  They were masters of the Hebrew calendar.   In Exodus 12:2 the Lord established the Hebrew calendar. “This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.” The Hebrew calendar begins at Passover in the month of Nissan.  This calendar was God ordained and introduced in the Bible.   To better understand how God moves in times you can study the Hebrew calendar and the patterns that have been established in the Word of God.  Our Gregorian calendar is on a different time cycle than the Word of God. The Bible refers to the month of Av as the fifth month counting from Passover.  It corresponds to the months of ...

The Shout of a King is Among Them

Numbers 23:21 - “He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen wickedness in Israel. The Lord his God  is  with him, And the shout of a King  is  among them.” In this passage of Scripture, the king of Moab had hired the prophet Balaam to speak a curse over the children of Israel.   He saw Israel as a threat to his kingdom.   Numbers 22:2-3 – “Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel.” When the enemy sees the people of God rising up in faith, he becomes very concerned and moves to keep us from fulfilling our assignment.   We learn in Numbers, Balaam could only speak what the Lord gave him to speak.   Instead of a curse he speaks a blessing. The enemy seeks our destruction, but God!   Listen to the conversation between God and Satan in ...
