STOP fighting spiritual battles with your fist!

Okay so I realize that I have not been on here in almost 3weeks and for that I apologize. Let me just tell you that those 3weeks were like non I've experienced in all my years. The enemy thought he was going to strip me of my sanity but he's so stupid...wouldn't you agree?

The well is overflowing so much, I almost don't know where to begin....so let's just begin and allow the HS to lead us to the end.

Problems, trials, and tribulations are inevitable especially in the life of one who proclaims Christ as Lord and Savior. I've learned that one of its main goals is to strip us of the desire to praise God. Notice I used the term "desire," because for many of us, it comes from the flesh, contingent upon our emotional state. But praise is designed to come from the spirit. Paul says to live is Christ and to die is gain. This was a difficult scripture for me to understand with natural intelligence, so I depended on divine revelation. When we accept Christ as Lord and Savior we die to journeying throughout life with personal agendas. Upon accepting Christ we exchange our belief system for His. Therefore, dying is a 100% gain because a new life in Christ will be far greater than one without. When we endure attacks that we know are directly from the enemy we must take our tool which is praise before stepping onto the battle field. Praising God especially when things are in disarray will confuse and defeat your enemies. Thanking God for what He's done in the past, is currently doing and what your faith confirms He will in the future shifts you into a new dimension. Not only will you see the answer to transitioning out of your situation, but you'll become more trustworthy to God which then makes you a candidate for advancement. This is why the enemy creates such destruction so that praise is the furthest from your mind. Just yesterday I was in the Walmart parking structure and we all know how frustrating that can be. A woman came from the rear and took a space I was heading into. OMG (oh my gosh) my hand began to shake as I STRONGLY desired to give her that magic finger, all while listening to "I'm Available To You" mind you. LOL I stopped and began thanking God for exercising self control instead and drove off all to be lead to an even closer spot in the 1st aisle of the lot. Look at God! Had I reacted the way the enemy desired me to, I would have given her the finger in front of my sister whom admires my spirituality, which would have then discounted my witness as it relates to assisting her with shortcomings.

We also must realize that the enemy is a pond and only allowed specified access because the Lord desires us to grow in those areas. The Lord knows that I have challenges with my temper therefore, He allows me to be tested. As soon as I respond properly, I am advanced to another level of testing to ensure the spirit behind the action has been exposed and rebuked. Once I pass the advanced level I am then transitioned onto another course. Praise is a weapon of mass destruction because it decapitates the major attach which could be for example, a bounced check, which then throws the entire account off balance resulting in fees, more bounced checks and frustration. If we stop and praise God for balancing our account prior, He can then instruct us to call and speak with a representative in order to cancel the fees and reject any other checks from bouncing. The enemy desires us to react out of our emotions so that the hands of God will be tied. He is a JUST God, but He is also sovereign in that He has the ability to do what he wants, when He wants. The next time you're faced with an obstacle, (most likely at some point today) before reacting take a deep breath and praise God like a mad person. Not only will you scare off any physical adversity's (people), but the spiritual ones as well. LOL We must remember the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (of the flesh) if they were, the next part of the verse would not exist...they are mighty in power for the pulling down of strongholds. Stop fighting spiritual battles with your fist, you'll loose every time. Until next time....PRAIZEM HONEY is your greatest weapon yet!

LUV, LUV AGAIN, LUV SOME MORE!

Happy Thursday fam! Let's tap into the well...

This week I felt a pressing in my spirit to clean things up in my life. There were a few loose ends via relationships that I needed to repair in order to remove any fault from my hands. The first, my mother. She and I NEVER had a relationship for a number of reasons. One, she never connected with me even in the womb, so upon my arrival, the disconnection continued. I invited her to the hospital in April when I gave birth to her only grandchild, and things ended REALLY ugly. However, although I knew in my heart that I didn't hate her, I realized she isn't someone I want to have physical contact with. I thought it was only right to allow her to see my daughter. I stopped by and upon walking through her threshold, I was overwhelmed with a spirit of emptiness, lacking love. The atmosphere was so empty and although Lyric is only 3months, she too sensed something out of the ordinary. She screamed, cried and wrapped her arms around my neck which is completely out of her character. Nonetheless, I knew in my spirit regardless, the love I wasn't shown, I needed to extend Christs' love any way.

I shared that story to expose a spirit that has heavy presence on this earth and that is HATRED! We as a people are privy to hate one another before loving, and it should not be that way. We have all had experiences where a person has wronged us to the point of not even wanting to pass by them even in heaven. John 3:16 says God loved us so much that He sacrificed Jesus for the sins of the world. (paraphrasing) The scriptures also tell us that love covers a multitude of sins. Yes we have been taught that love stimulates from the heart, but I'm more inclined as a Christian to believe love comes from the soul. The heart can be deceitful above all things, but a soul that belongs to Christ has His motives foremost. Although we sin, and commit fleshly acts, the truth still resides within the soul. LOVE is very much a verb! People frivolously say they love another all of the time. But true love is shown more than spoken. Honestly, I have not a desire to have any dealings with my mother or my daughter's father, and if my flesh were my boss, I would erase them from my life completely. However, I belong to a God who sacrificed His only child for me, therefore I must love them regardless. Because I recognize God lacks glory from a "consistent" physical relationship with them I keep a distance, but when I am to share space with them, I can exhibit the love of Christ which isn't offensive. WOW! What a mature lesson! Start this moment and love those in spite of how they treat you. You don't want any of your blessings blocked from foolish pride, because that's what HATRED is, one being too prideful foolishly to forgive and allow love to move you past the circumstance. LOVE, LOVE AGAIN & LOVE SOME MORE!

EMERGENCY ENCOURAGEMENT!

Hey, I usually don't post on Sunday's but there's an urgency in the spirit therefore, I must be obedient. I sense that someone is right at the edge of a true breakthrough but you simply can't see it due to all you are enduring. Beloved it ain't over until God says it's over!!! Don't throw in the towel on yourself because God truly hasn't! You need to understand that the race isn't given to the swift, or the battle to the strong, but it's given to the one with the ability to endure and THAT'S YOU!!! Be strong and courageous for the steps of a good man/woman are ordered by God. No good thing shall He withhold from those that walk upright before Him. You are more than a conqueror. I don't care what it looks or feels like you are victorious. The devil wants you to commit dream suicide but he is a liar. He's simply the Prince of the air but we serve the KING and LORD of all! Don't be defeated beloved, you can make it. You were made to succeed. Forget about what they said about you, they are simply validating the miraculous blessings headed your way, or as Apostle Hinton would say: "passing out a business card in the spirit!" You can and will make it! Remember the times of old when God brought you through. That same God is standing with His arms extended saying: "come my child you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. My yoke is easy and my burden is light!" Dust yourself off and declare that EVERYTHING the Lord said about you will come to past. It may seem delayed but it's coming in perfect timing! Be encouraged beloved in knowing that this too shall pass. Don't give up pray, after you pray praise God for victory and after you praise worship Him simply because He is! Every time you're faced with an obstacle remember God is able to do exceeding, abundantly above ALL you could ask or think! Ask, seek, knock and receive the release of the Lord! I speak blessings of healing, deliverance, encouragement and prosperity upon you all.....
