Trust not in Man!

This was a prayer I had for a gentleman as a word of truth from my own experience being that while he was on his assignment to do make certain he put his energy and effort into God instead of man.  For the reason being man can smile, clap, award, etc. when they are happy but yet, that same man when mad can stab you in the back and call all you once did a piece of crap and then be the one to even try to curse your future and so the word came forth in this way.

Trust not in man

But do trust in the one who holds your breath in His hands

See man can lift you high one moment but throw you low the next

But if your trust is solely in the Lord He can give you a secure foundation

See with men who do not know Christ and even with those who haven’t made Him Lord

The things they will do will be done with a motive

Things they feel not only will benefit you but most importantly them

However, in putting your trust in God for the things He does

You can know they are pure and true.

When your dependence is in man

You will always have to exert your energy on trying to please them

And though yes, they may take notice of your efforts for a while

Trust me, when you screw up and you will, they also will notice that too.

And if truth be told, for some once you miss it and mess up it’ll be as if

All other good you did never even existed. 

That’s why our trust needs to be put in the one who is solid instead of shaky and flakey

Yes, put into the one who truly has our best interest at heart

And not in the one who only rewards us for what to them is our excellent performance

But instead into the one who does and gives simply because ultimately He’s God

Who celebrates us yes, when we do well yet, even when we straight miss it

Still His love He tries to communicate.

Therefore, if you instead put your trust in God

Then no matter what man may do in their fickleness

You can know as it pertains to you, you are straight, well secured in Him because with Him

There is no lost effort, with Him there is acknowledgement.

For He is a rewarder to those who diligently seek Him, trust Him, exalt Him, instead of man

So with Him you cannot go wrong

However, with man that’s a foundation again you build upon I would not, and I repeat, I would not recommend.

Know the doors God opens no man can shut

So in essence, in all that I have just said comes down to His word being Proverbs 3:5-6 which reads: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.

Funny, what will I do?

Speaking about trust I just got news that some stuff has hit the fan as it pertains to someone within the body of Christ doing some unthinkable things. Now the question I pose to myself is this, what will I do with this information will I make the choice to get into the gossip that is getting stirred up over this situation or will I choose to instead take this situation to God in prayer and watch His mighty hand work.  Will I take the path of the majority on this or will I take the difficult way being the path of the minority and instead choose to again put it in prayer and stay focused personally on the path that God has for me.  Well, I am publicly making the decision to take the path of the narrow though it would be so much easier to engage in the gossip that even in this God may be glorified. Father, I thank you now that whether this information is true or not I thank you for the correction and greater reverence it all will bring to you.  I as well thank you for keeping me and helping me to simply keep my eyes on JESUS!

It really is all about Faith, being our Trust!

Today this morning while I was doing devotion with my girls we were looking at the life of Jochebed, do you know who she is?  Well, I didn't and this captured my attention to learn with my children and come to find out she was the mother of Moses. Now being that I have been ministering about Faith lately being our Trust, her life really hit home for me.  One of the things I discovered was that her and her husband Amram being Moses's father was from the tribe of Levi and if you remember from reading about the Levi's they had a special role with God when it came to Him and His things. So what really ministered to me in a vast way was that not only was Jochebed taught about God and His miracles, participated in the things of God, but that when the rubber really met the road and her faith, being her trust, was tested she walked out that trust in such a mighty way. Therefore, instead of doing what she was commanded to do by Pharaoh to kill her son she instead trusted God and hid him and then sent Him down the river right into the very answer of her prayer being safety and protection for her sons life.  And Wow! When I think about her life my prayer for myself is that I too would have that type of faith when my trust is tested and that I too as a result would be able to see God's all powerful hand as a result of my trust in Him. My thought I am left to ponder over is this, sometimes we don't do anything but complain when our trust is tested but it's then that we can really know where we are with our trust. And so, though yes, we may not always rise to the occasion still. we can trust in this truth being Romans 8:28 which reads: And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose. Father when my trust is put to the test I pray I too would move in faith being my trust in you to do whatever it is that I am requested or faced to do. In Jesus name I pray!

Jesus, You Captivate Me!

The vastness of your love

The immenseness of your forgiveness

The working of the reality of your Holy Spirit within me

My comforter, my healer, the one who leads and
guides me

The revealer of those secret things humm

Lord you captivate me

The working of your power that can truly transform sinners to saints

Your true power that can indeed take the taste of sin and replace it

With a hunger and thirst for righteousness

The power of your acceptance of me even though you know my past, present and future and on that one I have to Selah

Lord you captivate me in knowing not only have you given me life

and life more abundantly here on this earth despite my circumstances

but that there is more in eternity,  much more in heaven a place my mind can hardly fathom where you say I have an inheritance, rewards, not to mention where we will even merge in an ultimate state as one Wow! 

Where I in the son, the son in you, and we as one Wow!

Now that’s what I call in English language slang too deep.

You captivate me Lord in the authority you have released into my care while here on this earth to rule and have dominion even over hell itself

You captivate me with your mind blowing continual blessings, revelation, strength and creativity

Point blank you captivate me!

And just to know I haven’t seen anything yet compared to the totality you desire to show me is wordless…

Because you do go from glory to glory
Jesus You Captivate Me!

Be Deep!

Be Deep

Be a holy a roller

Be deep

Be called so spiritual you are no earthly good

Be mocked

Be shunned because of resisting the ungodly pleasures of this world

Be odd

Be different

Be an outcast to man but known intimately by the Lord

Be persecuted for righteousness sake

Attacked spiritually because of the sacrifices of God you continue to make

Be Strange to the human eye

Not understood for the Lord

Go ahead go against the flow

Go ahead shake up the normal mode

Resist the comfort of sin and let people whether their intensions are for the good or the bad look at you like whoa!

Go ahead and be all of it because the word of God tells us that the things of God to man are foolishness  

Not to mention I am a living witness of how some of the very ones who may call you all of that and then some will one day God willing, come to grasp and understand for their own life God’s plan. And then it will be evident that upon you without doubt has always been God’s hand.

Remember yaw even Jesus himself was said to have been empowered by demons but Jesus, that same person they claimed to be demonic became placed in one of the highest positions. Seated at the right hand side of the Father that now it is at His name everything in heaven and beneath must submit to His authority do you hear me?

So, Hey go ahead and be whatever it is they want to call it

because all that matters in the here and in the now and when it’s all said and done is that in the book of life is written your name.

See what people are seeing is you letting go of control of your life

Giving it over to the one who created you that He may use you the way He originally designed you and it’s that control you’re turning over in order to submit that they just can’t possibly fathom 

Yes you trusting in that in which they can’t see

You listening to one they can’t hear

You having a relationship and deep feelings for one they can’t feel

Listen; do know that is perfectly understandable thus the reason why you have to stay your course and refuse to get side tracked due to others lack of faith. Because you are the blazing torch which is and will help others indeed see their own way.

The Weight

As of lately, I have seen so much breakthrough in the Spirit Realm but yet, at the same time I have felt the weight, and it's funny because I know where it is coming from and I know why. Being again, as I said the major breakthroughs that have happened in the Spirit Realm in many different areas.  And so, what I was divinely lead to do was to meet pressure with pressure and one day it just clicked that I needed to grab my sword being my pen and continue to scribe my blessings, being the things that I have clearly seen the Lord do as of late in my life, and how I also needed to pray in the spirit because for the things I needed to pray for, my mind could not possibly comprehend. Therefore, out of obedience that's exactly what I did and Praise God I have been able to see the weight lift.  I am so grateful thank to the Lord for His weapons that are so effective when we yield to use them.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

God is WOW!

When I think about the Lord and all of His goodness all I can say is WOW!  I mean there are no words that could ever describe the Lord's goodness and His faithfulness in my life. However, though this is true I still can not help but to try to give Him a portion of the praise and worship He is due.  And so, with that being said I like to decree and declare right now how there is No one like you Father, No one! For you stand in place and space in my life that is completely profound and keeps me in a state of complete aweness! To you be all the praise and ALL the GLORY!
