We all have Ooops moments 4/30/18

 

Gooooood morning,

 

As per usual, as I journeyed through this week, several instances of the same type of thing kept occurring. By now, multiples like this catch my attention. Straightway, I go the Lord and ask, “Lord, what is the meaning if this?” “What is the underlying message?”, “What would You have me take away from these observances?”

Who hasn’t approached a chore or a process or some other negligible, seemingly insignificant task only to wind up tripping, spilling, missing or demolishing the whole shebang? When we have those happenstances, we turn red, we shriek at the mess. Sometimes, we get mad ourselves, sometimes we just laugh at the folly. sometimes it sets us on a course or reliving the moment with embarrassment, disappointment, and dejection.

If we are not careful we can sustain that negative energy field, the self-mortifying enactment within. What good can come of continuing in that pattern of downward spiral unto a downtrodden spirit?

Isn’t this also the case with those that harbour sin in their hearts?! They are compelled to relive the terrible things they have done and seek to further bury them, rather than to clean it up or surrender to God for assistance in how to avoid, move past or protect oneself from such messes.

Life is messy. No one is perfect. We all have moments of less than stellar performance, whether that be in word, actions, thought, deed, activity or service. How will we react in those moments?! How will we recover and regroup?! Will we learn?! Will we grow?! Will we seek to become more adept and skilled or will we dismiss our mistakes or run from accountability?! Will we be gracious with ourselves and others or will we be deprecating?

How do we treat those who mess up toward us or in our presence? Are we forgiving, forbearing and helpful to restore them? Do we criticize them, resurrect it and torment them with it? We ought to be mindful of how to best treat those circumstances, in the knowledge that we too at some point have been or will be on the other side of that coin.

Mess ups are opportunities for correction or fuel for folly. We get to choose how we will redeem those moments. Will they work to our advantage or will they be the snare unto further ruination?

 

Psalm 51:2-4 Thoroughly wash me, inside and out, of all my crooked deeds. Cleanse me from my sins. For I am fully aware of all I have done wrong, and my guilt is there, staring me in the face. It was against You, only You, that I sinned, for I have done what You say is wrong, right before Your eyes. So when You speak, You are in the right. When You judge, Your judgments are pure and true

Proverbs 28:13-14 Whoever tries to hide his sins will not succeed, but the one who confesses his sins and leaves them behind will find mercy. Happy is the one who always fears the Lord, but the person who hardens his heart to God falls into misfortune.

1 John 1:9-2:1 If we make it our habit to confess our sins, in his faithful righteousness he forgives us for those sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have never sinned, we make him a liar and his word has no place in us. My little children, I’m writing these things to you so that you might not sin. Yet if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus, the Messiah, one who is righteous.

Psalm 103:8-11 The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever. He does not punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve. For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.

James 3:2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.

1 John 1:8 If we say that we do not have any sin, we are deceiving ourselves and we’re not being truthful to ourselves.

Hebrews 10:26-27 If we decide to go on sinning after we have learned the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins. There is nothing but fear in waiting for the judgment and the terrible fire that will destroy all those who live against God.

Galatians 6:7-9 Do not be fooled: You cannot cheat God. People harvest only what they plant. f they plant to satisfy their sinful selves, their sinful selves will bring them ruin. But if they plant to please the Spirit, they will receive eternal life from the Spirit. We must not become tired of doing good. We will receive our harvest of eternal life at the right time if we do not give up.

Proverbs 24:16  Though a righteous man falls seven times, he will get up, but the wicked will stumble into ruin.

James 1:22-24 Do what God’s teaching says; when you only listen and do nothing, you are fooling yourselves. Those who hear God’s teaching and do nothing are like people who look at themselves in a mirror. They see their faces and then go away and quickly forget what they looked like.

 2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed you fail to meet the test!

Psalm 37:23-24 The steps of a man are established by the LORD, And He delights in his way. When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand.

Job 5:17

“Behold, how happy is the man whom God reproves, So do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.

 

Psalm 94:12

Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD, And whom You teach out of Your law;

 

2 Timothy 4:2

preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.

 

2 Timothy 3:16

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;

 

Jeremiah 10:24

Correct me, O LORD, but with justice; Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.

 

Proverbs 3:12

For whom the LORD loves He reproves, Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

 

Proverbs 29:17

Correct your son, and he will give you comfort; He will also delight your soul.

 

Proverbs 22:15

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline will remove it far from him.

 

Titus 2:15

These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority Let no one disregard you.

Proverbs 23:13

Do not hold back discipline from the child, Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die.

Have a very blessed week in Christ Jesus!

Spring Cleaning in a whole new way 4/23/18

Gooooood Morninnnnnnnnng

 

Today we are going to discuss what is best termed, “Demon Tossing”, ‘cleaning house; as each person is a vessel and designed to be the receptacle of the Holy Spirit. Actually, this is a good practice 24/7 and 365. Especially as you come across new acquaintances, old friends, even family, immediate and extended.

I am an avid purveyor of good sermons, commentary and in-depth studies of Gods word.  Recently, I had an occasion to come across a very knowledgeable and sage messianic Christian prophet. He spoke about demon tossing and it fascinated me, lit a fire under me and reminded me scripturally that we are not only equipped to do this but it’s our responsibility to do so.

Essentially, it can not hurt. If you question someone’s intent, actions, heart etc. Do it. If they are right with God it ‘aint’ going to hurt them or you. If they aren’t right with God, well, it’s going to clean the slate enough for them to turn to the Lord for correction and instruction in righteousness. Moreover, it’s going to debilitate Satans weapons, plans, and pawns. Remember, God hates the sin not the sinner. He wants all His children, His creation set free, undeceived, prosperous, healthy, whole and freely serving Him.

Now, upon learning this and with deep conviction in my heart, I immediately started incorporating it. Later on, a dear Christian Sister, reminded me, do not create a vacuum; remember to call in the Holy Spirit to fill in and inhabit that which you call out and cast down. Bingo, trifecta; command, cast out and call in! Cast out and Pray in for your neighbors, friends, acquaintances, family, even objects. Yes, objects can be negatively charged with demonic spells to influence and cause havoc in your personal life and home.

In Gods word, it says the enemy’s entire focus is to kill, steal and destroy so we need to be ever vigilant and mindful to do what we can. I have worked on this and adapted it, even upgraded it a few times. If the Holy Spirit leads you to add something more, than do it, by all means, the purpose is to invoke Gods dominion over the wickedness and evil running amuck. Here is a sample of what you can speak aloud, to cast out the demonic, unclean spirits.Are you ready to discover How Mighty the Word of God and His authority truly is.

 

Under the Blood Covenant of the Lamb and

In the Mighty Name of Christ Jesus,
pleading the Blood
over myself and over the parties herewith
mentioned, EVERY UNCLEAN SPIRIT is commanded
to come out __________________ RIGHT NOW,

You Must Come out in the Name of Jesus, RIGHT NOW,
you may not tarry, you may not transfer
you may not return, You are bound and shackled to the pit

in darkness. No further contact or communication is permitted,

You are forbidden any further contact using any device
or any means, for any purpose, for all of eternity. Holy Spirit,
I petition you to fill that heart, to fill that house

to fill that premises, every floor, all four corners, from the foundation

to the rooftop, the air around and everything inbetwixt

I call in a Holy Spirit Fire to cleanse

all wickedness. Right now, Holy Spirit, destroy every

object that is demonically charged, crush every item

that is enchanted or infused with any evil intent, hex, spell

or incantation<all such items are hereby null and void, demolished, cast down

and destroyed by the Authority and Power of Christ Jesus.

Oh Holy Spirit I thank You, that your protection,
love and guidance be the only habitation in that person or those persons

heart, mind, actions, words and deeds,
in the Mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord,
Yehushua Hamashiach Tsidekenu, The Lord our
God, our Righteousness! Calling it done, and done, Amen & Amen!

 

Remember, God’s word states that He is actively surveying, seeking to follow through on what He has said He will do and we can be sure of it.

Jeremiah 1:12

Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.

 

Because of this scripture, we are forbidding the unclean spirits we cast out to return but we must do this often, because there are as many unclean spirits as there are people. If the person yopu demon tossed does not turn themselves over to the Lord, they are susceptible to further infestation by new demonic forces. That is why in the casting out statements above, it is important to call in the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 12:43-45

“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”

 

James 4:7

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Ephesians 6:10-18

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, …

Mark 16:16-18

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

1 Peter 5:8

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Luke 10:17

The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”

Acts 16:16-18

As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by fortune-telling. She followed Paul and us, crying out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation.” And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.

John 14:11-13

Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves. “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

A lesson through experience, God fights our Battles! The Kingdom Overrides (TKO)

A timely message with a powerful reminder

We know that the evil one is nervous, pitiful, a nasty, no good, sore loser. Yes, he already lost! His end is ironclad, there is no escape for him. To add insult to injury, he wants to destroy and corrupt as much of Gods creation as he can. Just like the rotten, evil scoundrel he is.

He is so powerless, in so many regards. Scripture itself tells us that we have the Lord’s power & authority to overcome the enemies deception and grasp. I know I am not the only one who has either faced attacks on every level, from physical, to financial, to familial.

One thing that comes to my mind is a particular day, a while back. I was on my way to take care of some business. I had about a 20 – 30-minute car ride ahead, as the area I’d be traveling through is thick within town traffic. I decided that on my way there, I would begin praising God for everything in my life. Every car, person, road sign, tree, a scene in the sky, cloud, song, every faculty I possessed, everything I could think of and spot, acknowledge and list. It went on and on and on, I laughed a few times, I even had a few overlapping thoughts as I listed thing after thing, thinking wow, God supports and supplies everything, how amazing that we just do not realize everything is a blessing. This exercise was so invigorating! Even though I spoke aloud for almost 35 minutes straight, I felt great, a little thirsty BUT I mean GREAT, GREAT- GREAT; like I had just received an oxygen boosted cocktail.

Later on, on my way to leave the area. Something bad happened. It was a setback but I can see in the spirit that what I did before I got there helped to mitigate the damage. It could have been, should have been, so much worse. You see the enemy wants us so focused on whats wrong, that we ignore our power, forget about our blessings, overlook our opportunities. We have the power to knock him out, to thwart him, to put him back in his powerless place. Do not give him a foothold.

Imagine you have a weapon, and you are going to load that weapon with ammunition. The ammo is praise and worship. Imagine a force field, it is powered and activated through gratitude and thanksgiving. Employ both fo these things and you are fully protected.

TKO stands for Total Knock Out but remember this for your day to day struggles….The Kingdom Overrides (TKO)

Matthew 4:10-11
¹⁰ Then Jesus said to him, “Begone, Satan! For it is written,
“‘You shall worship the Lord your God
and Him only shall you serve.’”
¹¹ Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.

Luke 10:16  He who hears you, hears me…

1 Corinthians 1:18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”

Romans 1:16  I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation…

James 4:7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

 PRAISE AS A SPIRITUAL WEAPON

2 Chron. 20:1
It happened after this that the people of Moab with the people of Ammon, and others with them besides the Ammonites, came to battle against Jehoshaphat.

2 Chron. 20:15 And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ’Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

2 Chron. 20:17 You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.”

2 Chron. 20:21-25 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying:

“Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever.”

[22] Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. [23] For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another. [24] So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped. [25] When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil, they found among them an abundance of valuables on the dead bodies, and precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much.

Praise lifts your eyes from the battle to the victory, for Christ is already(excerpt from http://www.sermoncentral.com/sermons/how-praise-can-be-a-weapon-in-spiritual-warfare-timothy-lee-sermon-on-worship-benefits-71161.asp )
