God's watching and working....

HI...

Going through difficult times?

Someone said,'Nothing happens without God's will, especially to His child whom He loves."

When we go through times of delays, closed doors, testings, pain, God is watching, refining and restoring our body, heart and minds, developing the fruit of the Spirit in us, disciplining our prayer lives and Bible study times, setting our priorities right.

He will perfect ALL that concerns us (Psalm 138:8)

In due season He will lift us up. 

Isaiah 30: 20 Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. 21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it."

God watches over His children.

Be blessed..

Get a battle plan from God....

PSALM 25:14, "The LORD confides in those who

 fear him; he makes his covenant known to them."

 ▓▒░☆God gave Joshua a battle plan to bring down the walls of Jericho. 

JOSHUA 6: 2 Then the LORD said to Joshua,

"See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands,

along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March

around the city once with all the armed men. Do

this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry

trumpets of rams' horns in front of the ark. On

the seventh day, march around the city seven 

times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. 5

When you hear them sound a long blast on the

trumpets, have all the people give a loud shout;

then the wall of the city will collapse and the

people will go up, every man straight in."

 ▓▒░☆David had a plan to kill Goliath. He just went to face the 'giant' in the Name of the Lord with 5 small stones (pebbles) a sling and rod.

1 SAMUEL 17: 50 "So David triumphed over the

Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a

sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and

killed him."

 ▓▒░☆Let us also get our plan and power from above to face the enemy!

When we go into battle we need to have a plan. The enemy has a plan to steal, kill and destroy us.

 ▓▒░☆We need to wait on HIM to get our plan. We need a plan to bring down Satan's strong holds around us, in our city and our land.

Be blessed,

Julia 

Wherever we are God's with us( His children)!

 ♥When God leads us through green pastures and by still waters we feel good and refreshed.

 ♥And sometime God takes us into His shelter.

May feel lonely out there but we are not alone because our God Himself is our hiding place. 

This is a place of safety from the enemy and also a place of restoration so that we can come out victorious.

David knew God as his hiding place that is why said:

"You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance" Psalm 32:7 (NIV)

 ♥Sometimes we are in the midst of a battle, feel we are on the front line but let us not fear, God places us there just because God knows we will overcome our enemy(how ever big it may be), as David faced Goliath and overcame him.

Let's press on rejoice wherever God's placed us, kept us or leading us!

" After the darkness, the daylight shines through. After the showers, the rainbow's in view. After life's heartaches, there comes from above. The peace and the comfort of God's healing Love."

Our God is Almighty, All Powerful and 100% perfect...

Our God is El-Shaddai, God Almighty, He surely 100% perfect!

He is Bigger and Greater then our finite knowledge and finite plan--

As we grow up to trust in Him more, as our faith grows better every day in Jesus Christ our Lord, we will see the better and bigger plans God has for us!

Then we can lean on Him even when things right now does not look good...!

It sure gets easier with every step forward,,,

but sometime we slip and slid back too but when we have seen what God has for us we will climb back...with a renewed strength!

Our coming back can and will surely give HOPE to those who think "NO HOPE!"

Walk on...!

Rise up and march on....

Time to ..

Awake...Rise up ...March on...

Romans 13:11 "And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts."

It is sad to see so many people who call themselves followers of Christ, fast asleep in their spiritual lives. It is time to sound the wake up call. It is time to wake up, rise up, stand up and start moving ahead spiritually.

There is so much to do in the Kingdom, many lost souls to reach, and time is short. God's Word says, "Wake up you sleeper, rise from the dead and Christ will shine on you "(Ephesians 5:14) Here we see Paul appealing to the Ephesians to wake up and realize the dangerous condition into which some of them have been slipping. Time to awake and see what God is doing. We are living in amazing times. God's on the move looking our for people who are waiting on Him and seeking His face.

God is raising up an army of people who are passionately in love with Him, radically changed, filled with the Holy Spirit, move in the gifts of the Spirit, and boldly share the gospel in public places not fearing their lives. He is looking for fearlessly bold, passionately holy, physically set-apart, spiritually awake, mentally alert, upfront, and bold people, to go out and raise the dead, find the lost, bring in the back-slidden and resist every work of the evil one.

He is through with emotionally imbalanced, spiritually sleeping, compromising, double-minded, confused, beating-round-the-bush and sitting-on-the-fence Christians. Revelation 3:16, "So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth."

He is looking for people who will be on fire, those who have the desire to grow stronger and move higher in their faith. God's raising an army with those Satan thought he had killed and were left by the wayside! He is raising up the crushed, the scarred, wounded and the weak. They are rising from the ashes stronger, wiser, and ready to go out into battle once again in the Name of Yahweh-Jesus!

If we have slowed down or stagnated in our spiritual walk, we got to get up and get going. Its time we give up our constant spiritual highs and lows and desire for a strong relationship with the Lord! God's sounding the clarion call, "Awake O sleeper! Arise."

Are we ready to be a part of this army of God?

Let's not allow the enemy mess with us any more.

Our one and only enemy goes around the world 'like' a roaring lion seeking his next victim to devour.

Our one and only enemy is on the prowl to steal, kill and destroy,

He has nothing good in mind...

This sure is not a news that brings us joy...!

But we still have every reason to rejoice!

Because....however bad the enemy makes our situation looks like, know that God is surely 100% perfect!!! 

He is Bigger and Greater then our finite knowledge and finite plan--

As we grow up to trust in Him more, as our faith grows better every day in Jesus Christ our Lord, we will see the better and bigger plans God has for us!

Then we can lean on Him even when things right now does not look good...!

It sure gets easier with every step forward,,,

but sometime we slip and slid back too but when we have seen what God has for us we will climb back...with a renewed strength!

Our coming back can and will surely give HOPE to those who think "NO HOPE!"

Walk on...!

THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH!

JOY COMES IN THE MORNING!

THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD (not the devil) HAS MADE, WE WILL REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT

JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD IS THE GLORY AND THE LIFTER OF OUR HEADS..

So we can choose to sing through the darkest night.....

Have a blessed day!!

March on...

Julia 

Wish you find Hope, Faith, Joy, Love, rest and peace the Lord gives this day....:)

We may not be sure what lies ahead this day 
But..
Each moment of the day has it's own value....
Morning brings Hope...

Job 6:8,"Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for,

Psalm 25:3,No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.

Afternoon brings Faith..

Matthew 9:22, Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment.

Matthew 15:28, Then Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Evening brings Joy and Love....

Isaiah 60:5, Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come.

Hebrews 1:9,

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy."

And
Night brings Rest...

Wish you find them all today,

Julia

Our Lord stands guard....

Our Lord Jesus Christ will stand guard, He will never leave us in our most difficult moments...
(His glory is our rear guard)
When we are in a crisis and turn to Jesus Christ our Lord, He  will break every chain the enemy(it's in his hands) binds us with and replace it for a crown(which our Lord holds) one day!
Praise you my Lord and Savior!
Isaiah 58:8
"Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard."
Be blessed..

God's Word and presence is like fire...

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Jeremiah 23:29 says that "God's word is like fire...."

FIRE ..........

      1) Removes darkness (the word of God removes spiritual darkness)

      2) It gives light and warmth (word of God is a lamp to our path and warms our Spiritual life)

      3) It burns the rubbish (word of God helps us get rid of sin by revealing it to us)

      4) It spreads (So does the word of God. No man or power can stop the word of God spreading to the ends of the earth)

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

John the Baptist preached:

Matthew 3:11 "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:"

Jeremiah 20:9, ” But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not."

May His Word be like fire in us and may His Word change us and make us the 'people after His own heart.'

Our Lord's looking for a generation who will be on fire!
He's looking out for people who will stand up boldly and speak up the truth of the gospel.
Carman writes in his book "Raising the Standard"(one of my all time favorites, don't miss to read this)
"..... we are blood-bought members of the most powerful army that ever walked the earth. We are filled with the same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead. We are to be champions."
JESUS WANTS US TO LIVE A HOLY, SANCTIFIED LIFE FOR HIM. Even as the world around gets darker and darker, He's looking for a generation that will be His light..!II Timothy 2:22 Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on Jesus from a pure heart.I John 2:14 …I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
Even when the enemy comes like a flood, our Lord has promised He will raise our standard against him.Isaiah 59:19b"When the enemy shall come in like a flood,
the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him"

God bless,

Julia

Free indeed!

Romans 6:22
But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.1 Peter 2:16
Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.

I am so hungry to be 

All that I already AM AND IN WITH CHRIST JESUS!!

I want all of the weeds pulled, 

no matter how big the OUCH!! 

WHAT DOES JESUS SEE ?

WHAT DOES JESUS SEE ?

(A poem...)

When Jesus looks upon my life,

What picture does He see.

Does He see His own reflection,

Or does He just see me.

Does He see His likeness,

The product of His hand.

Or just another Christian,

Who never took a stand.

Does He see a child of God,

A child that He set free.

Living life to honor Him,

Or does He just see me.

What about the other folks,

I meet along the way.

Do I show them Jesus,

To brighten up their day.

When someone looks into my eyes,

Can they truly see.

That calm and gentle peace of God,

That dwells inside of me.

When I reach out and shake a hand,

Is He right there in my grip.

Can they feel that strength from God,

That steadies when I slip.

When folks are in my presence,

Do they know His Spirit's there.

Can they see that He's the One,

Who guides me everywhere.

When other people think of me,

What is on their mind.

Do they think of Jesus Christ,

So gentle and so kind.

I try to be like Jesus,

Every single day.

Spreading love and kindness,

All along my way.

I'm afraid that I have failed,

I could not pass the test.

Deep inside my heart I know,

I haven't done my best.

I have had to fight my flesh,

Since the day that I was born.

It's always causing trouble,

And being such a thorn.

That's why His Spirit dwells in me,

He's helping me to learn.

In every situation,

Where I need to turn.

He knew I'd never pass the test,

That's why He took my place.

He gave His life to save my soul,

He suffered my disgrace.

Now I try to be like Him,

I must present Him well.

So other folks will want His gift,

And turn their backs on hell.

Other folks should see the joy,

That Christ has given me.

They should want to have it too,

Especially since it's free.

They should begin to ask me,

What is it they must do.

Just how it is they go about,

Getting Jesus, too.

Then I get to tell them,

This wondrous gift is free.

It only takes a humble heart,

A prayer on bended knee.

Someday when I'm face to face,

With the Lord who set me free.

Will He see His own reflection,

Or will He just see me...

Time to get off the fence....!!

Time to Get off the fence!

No more sitting on the fence or standing with one leg in the world and the other in the Kingdom.

One can't say, "I love the Lord" and enjoy stopping by at our old neighborhood to enjoy worldly pleasures we left behind...

God sure is through with emotionally imbalanced, spiritually sleeping, compromising, double-minded, confused, beating-round-the-bush and sitting-on-the-fence Christians. 

✿Revelation 3:16, "So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth."

Joshua declared boldly in ..

✿JOSHUA 24:15b, "...But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." 

Not only did he declare boldly who he served, he also challenged the people of Israel to decide if they will serve the living God or bow to local idols.

Joshua took a clear and bold stand and that motivated the people to make their choice.

✿JOSHUA 24: 24 And the people said to Joshua, "We will serve the LORD our God and obey him." 

In these last days, God's heating the fences so that people who are still sitting on the fence will take a bold stand and boldly confess who they serve.

Have a blessed day....and week....!!!

Intercede more....

Someone said,Quote>" Our greatest need today in men and women who can rattle the chandeliers in Heaven and shake the gates of hell through mighty Spiritual warfare."<

~Look around satan is on a rampage and at such a time God's looking for sacrificial souls who will join Him in holding these forces of evil back.

Let's fast, pray and intercede more alone, in small groups of two or three or as a family or as a church.

         For..

~If one of us can put a thousands to flight...

Two of us can send legions fleeing~

" when was the last time we bowed down in 

brokenness before God for someone else's 

salvation, healing or need, sacrificing something 

that was precious to us, to pray for someone else?

Have a blessed week..

Julia 

God is on the move....

†God's on the move looking our for people who are waiting on Him and seeking His face.

†God is raising up an army of people who are passionately in love with Him, radically changed, filled with the Holy Spirit, move in the gifts of the Spirit, and boldly share the gospel in public places not fearing their lives.

†He is raising up the crushed, the scarred, wounded and the weak. They are rising from the ashes stronger, wiser, and ready to go out into battle once again in the Name of Yahweh-Jesus!

Are we ready to be a part of this army of God?

Good Night,

Julia

VIRAL JESUS by: Ross Rohde (Book Review)

VIRAL JESUS by: Ross Rohde

Publisher's Description

QOUTE>>>"By returning to what we once had…

We can recover what we once enjoyed.

In the early centuries Christianity was an explosive, viral movement that spread by word of mouth. Persecution could not stop it. In fact, it often helped to spread it.

But today, the gospel is no longer spreading like wildfire throughout the Western world. Slowly, Christianity has morphed into something much different…a stable institutionalized religion that no longer grips us with the excitement and spirituality of the early years.

Ross Rohde believes that this excitement and passion can be recaptured. In Viral Jesus he uses examples from the Bible and today to explore how we can return to our roots and once again enjoy the excitement, simple spirituality, and explosive growth of early Christianity."<<

May God bring back in our midst, this fire and passion the New Testament believers had! 

Acts 2:42, 46 And they were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. … 46 And day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,

Has someone interrupted your plans?

Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails. 

Hi...

Has someone or something interrupted your plans?

Trust God!

May be you were planning on taking up a new job, visiting a new place or planning to do something but suddenly someone may come by and upset our plans or for some reasons your plans failed.

Don't panic..but TRUST GOD

When plans are changed, He has a better way to accomplish HIS WILL in your life.

God knows what's best for you..

Jeremiah 29:11,"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Though right now you don't see anything clear just give your hand in your Heavenly Father's hands & let Him lead you one step at a time.

Just continue to hope and trust in God to give you the best and He will surely reveal the plan HE has for you.

 Proverbs 23:¹⁸ There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
