Be Fueled By Faith

18 When the child had grown, he went out one day to his father among the reapers. 19 And he said to his father, ‘Oh, my head, my head!’ The father said to his servant, ‘Carry him to his mother.’ 20 And when he had lifted him and brought him to his mother, the child sat on her lap till noon, and then he died. 21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God and shut the door behind him and went out.

22 Then she called to her husband and said, ‘Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may quickly go to the man of God and come back again.’ 23 And he said, ‘Why will you go to him today? It is neither new moon nor Sabbath.’ She said, ‘All is well.’ 24 Then she saddled the donkey, and she said to her servant, ‘Urge the animal on; do not slacken the pace for me unless I tell you.’ 25 So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel.” ~ 2 Kings 4:18-25

When the Shunammite woman’s son died, she went straight to Elisha. She didn’t go to her friends. She didn’t go to her family. She didn’t complain. She didn’t get upset. She went straight to the Man of God. When people asked her how she is doing and about her son, she just responded: “all is well.” She never allowed what her eyes saw to be the final say. She never allowed the physical to dictate the spiritual.

Her faith was never shaken because she remembered the miracles of her past. She remembered the answered prayers. Her faith was dictated what she saw, not the other way around. That’s how we need to be. Our faith should dictate what we see. When tragedy hits, we should see hope. When trials come, we should see miracles. We should live our lives fueled by our faith. Our Faith should guide our walk. Our talk. Our actions. And our thoughts. Our faith should be the lens that we see the world through.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Be Fueled By Faith.

Put Your Trust In The LORD

27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life” ~ Matthew 6:27

Anxiety is the number one mental illness in the U.S. 40 million Americans suffer from anxiety on a day to day basis. Anxiety stems from Fear. It’s one of Fear’s biggest weapons because it paralyzes you. It keeps you frozen and takes years off your life. There are things in life that we can’t control, and that’s what we have to understand.

We can either continue to allow fear to overrun our lives or we can trust God because He cares for us. Being anxious or afraid won’t help what you’re anxious about or afraid of. The only thing you can do to help what you’re afraid of or anxious about is to pray about it and bring it before the LORD.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Put Your Trust In The LORD.

Chase His Presence

 “And those who had set their hearts to seek the Lord God of Israel came after them from all the tribes of Israel to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the Lord, the God of their fathers.” ~ 2 Chronicles 11:16

Sometimes in life, we have to uproot and move to fulfill the need for the Presence of God. We have to leave everything behind, all that we are comfortable and familiar with, but moving to the place of His presence is the most important thing to do. Sometimes we may have to change churches and even have to move to a new country, new city, new school, new job, new career, leave friends and family, but chasing God and abiding in His presence is worth it all.

Go Straight To God

do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” ~ Philippians 4:6-7

How often do struggles come, and we feel trapped, do we go straight to God? Often times, we go straight to our friends, but not for help, but to complain. Instead of seeking peace, we bond with anxiety and fear by continuously speaking of the struggle, when we should be seeking God. We should be crying out to God for His help. For His mercy. For His goodness. We should lay our pain before the LORD, and He will remove your anxieties. It may not happen overnight, but it will happen if we give it all to God and lay it at His feet.

LORD God thank You for all that You’ve given us. Thank You for the peace that You have given me. Please, LORD God help me to accept Your peace. Help me to not overthink things, but to place everything before You. Be with me now, oh LORD, even now as I pray. Let me feel Your presence. Let me know Your ways. Lead me to Your perfect solution to my problem. Thank You LORD God for answering my prayer before I even see the result. So LORD God help me to be like Daniel and not give up until I have my answer. In the Name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Go Straight To God.

Stand In The Gap

19 Or if I send a pestilence into that land and pour out my wrath upon it with blood, to cut off from it man and beast, 20 even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, declares the Lord God, they would deliver neither son nor daughter. They would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness.” ~ Ezekiel 14:19-20

Often, we have this idea that we can save our loved ones if we’re good enough. If we can just do enough good and love God enough, our loved ones can enter in on our good name. But they can’t. We each have to give an account for our own lives, not the lives of someone else. Not even Noah, Daniel, or Job could deliver someone else from their own fate.

Just as we can’t win a race for someone else, we can’t receive Salvation for them either. All we can do is stand in the gap. Intercede on their behalf as Moses did. Teach them the ways of righteousness, as Abraham did. Be an example of righteousness and faith as Daniel was. Take the good and the bad as Job did. Preach the Truth, even if no one listens, just as Noah did. We may not be able to deliver someone else from their fate, but we can show them another way and pray that they follow it.

Stand in the gap for your loved ones. Be an example for them. And maybe they will be able to stand for themselves on the Day of Judgment without fear because they have been saved.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Stand In The Gap.

Seek Him and Wait

25 The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.” ~ Lamentations 3:25

Sometimes we look to the LORD for a short while, and when nothing happens when we want them to or expect them to, we get upset. We give up. And we turn away. We expect God to do things immediately the very first time we speak to Him or ask something of Him. We treat God like a genie in a bottle meant to give us our wishes as we ask them. But God is so much more, and He desires so much more. He wants you to seek Him, not for what He can give you, but for Him.

He desires a relationship with you. From the garden, He desired a relationship with us. He would come down from His throne and walk and talk with Adam and Eve. He doesn’t come on our time, but He comes when the timing is perfect. If we would only wait for Him and seek a relationship with Him diligently, we would see things begin to happen. We would see doors opened that were once closed. Miracles take place. Prayers answered. When we seek God first, He will then give us the desires of our hearts.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Wait For Him.

Trust In God

Why do you boast of your valleys,O faithless daughter, who trusted in her treasures, saying, ‘Who will come against me?’” ~ Jeremiah 49:4

Often times, when our Earthly possessions multiply, so does our pride. We become haughty and filled with arrogance. We no longer put our trust in God, but in our new idol, material possessions. What we own doesn’t make us stronger, more of a man or woman, smarter or wiser.

Having possessions aren’t the problem; it’s when we no longer lean on God but lean on our possessions instead. At the end of the day, they can’t save you, they can’t hear you, they can’t see you. They may be able to protect you for a short time, but the inevitable downfall is coming, and nothing you own can save from it. Pride leads you down the path of destruction.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Trust in God.

Fear Silences You

And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house. And you shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house.” ~ Ezekiel 2:6-7

Fear will try to shut you up. It will try to silence you and keep you from sharing the good news, but God says, don’t be afraid. Not of the people. Not of their words or their appearance, go preach. Go tell them the Truth. Go tell them the Good News of Jesus, for they are a rebellious people. In other words, they’re currently on the road to Hell; go tell them what I have to say so that they may change their ways and repent. Even if they don’t listen, it doesn’t matter; allow them to turn from living in sin.

Even if we will never listen, God still gives us the opportunity. God still sends us a warning. God still cares. So, don’t be discouraged, and don’t be afraid because where God sends you, He will go with you. Whatever He has you do, He will help you. God won’t abandon you. You won’t have to preach alone. You won’t have to witness alone. Put your faith and trust into God, seek Him, and you will never have to fear. Because when you seek God, He reveals Himself and His nature to you. You build a strong relationship with Him, and fear can no longer intimidate you because you truly know and understand who God is: your Father, Brother, Protector, Guide in The Darkness, your Everything.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Silence Fear.

The Battlefield of The Mind

“And David took these words to heart and was much afraid of Achish, the king of Gath.” ~ 1 Samuel 21:12

Hearing some words spoken can bring fear into our hearts even though we know we have a promise from God. Fear will take your joy and promise. They will cause distress within your spirit, stealing your peace, sleep, comfort, etc. When we allow fear to have a foothold in our minds, it can overcome us completely.

The battle of fear is won or lost in the battle of the mind. So every morning, put on the FULL Armor of God so that you can protect yourself from the fear that tries grip you through intimidating words. Deceitful eyes. Lying tongues. You are a Child of God, so whom shall you fear?

Not An Empty Promise

The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron and his sons. ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them: The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.’ So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.” ~ Numbers 6:22-27

This Scripture tells us that God wants to bless you, but He cannot bless where He is not wanted or where His mighty Name is not honored. Did you bless your children today before you sent them off to school? Did you put the Name of YHWH on your family so He can bless them? These are not empty promises, nor are they meaningless words, but rather, they are true words of blessings, and God WILL bless them. He has given you the power to speak life and blessings.

My Adonai, please bless everyone that reads this prayer and accepts it as their own; bless them with all the above blessings. May the richness of Your presence surround them today so much so that they are fully aware of their God. We love and honor You now, in Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
