Grateful Praise
Praise God from Who all blessing flow. We acknowledge Who You are in our lives Father God, knowing without a doubt, You have blessed us much with Your Presence in the all of our everything. We are such busy people, impulsively moving throughout our day, packing in as much in it as we possibly can, and severing depleting ourselves, leaving no room for communication and soul refreshing with You. Change that up in us Lord. Help us not to put so much on our plate that we deplete our soul and end up crashing and burning, fleshing out in that way which is not very pretty.
You are our Creator, so we stop right now, wherever we are and connect heart to heart with You. We thank You, We Praise You. We look around at our surroundings and know, You have done much for us, there is so much God beauty to partake in, so many big and small miracles that happen as You maintain what You have created. You are so good, so good to us. We live, breathe and have our being in You. In the light of the truth of your mercy, which is new for us every morning, we have a future and a hope. Awe-GOD! Praise God! So Grateful!
We praise You, beautiful God, Creator and Maintainer of all things. We thank you for creating us in Your Image, for taking the time to make us special and unique, each person with their own fingerprint, especially designed by God. We are so thankful to have You in our lives, Father God, to have your guidance, protection and provision. You shape us throughout our lives through every situation we encounter, You waste nothing to make us into amazing people that are like You. We are so very grateful. Praise God… Praise God… from who all blessing flow..
Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you’re on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute! Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you’re on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute!

My Identity
The best, absolute best person for us to emulate is Jesus Christ. He is the only one we should put our identity in. In fact, our identity is best placed wholly-holy in Him. To be like Him is to have loving kindness which is abundant in grace, a patient endurance which has the fragrance of godly wisdom in play, therefore our character is unconditional and yields to learning and growing, to letting be and letting God Work in us and through us. Making room for Jesus in our lives, we place our identity in Him, we give Him permission to speak into our lives His truth that has transforming power on our morals, personality and character, and shapes us in that unique way He has personally designed us to be.
We all were made in the Image of God, this is a common thread human to human, but we all are also uniquely shaped and designed by Him in our mother’s womb through our life experiences that He purposefully sets us up with. God knows us best and most. This is why I don’t give permission for many people to speak into my life. They don’t know me the way He does. God sees all of us, He sees our thoughts, motives of our heart, attitudes of our soul. God knows the why behind every word and every action we take. It is a good life when we live it unto God, when it pleases Him, that our motives are pure, our thoughts are of Him and our attitudes are in check, wholly-holy aligned with His Kingdom precepts.
People tend to judge us by the outside appearance and their judgement can never be 100 on target, because they can’t know our heart, they can’t know our inner motive, only God can truly know that. It is best for us if we yield to God and we give Him permission to speak truth in our lives and we let Him navigate us first. People may have good intentions speaking into our lives, but most people in today’s culture, they don’t have time to truly know me, it is a surface knowing, it is only by a glimpse of my life, where God knows all of me.
Most people who try to speak into my life, I am polite to them, but I don’t give them permission to speak into my heart, only God has that permission. I guard my heart, because humanity is imperfect, seeing through the eyes of the flesh, seeing only in part, and they tend to criticize me, condemn me by what they think they know, an assumption, a speculation, a presupposition, these are never the truth. Being an imperfect person makes me a really bad judge of someone else’s heart. The best thing I can do is work on my imperfect life before telling someone else they need to work on their faults. God has given permission to us to love, encourage and bless others, but not to judge them, because He knows they can’t truly know the heart and motive of someone else, this is His Infinite way and not ours, we are finite, He is Infinite. This is why I no longer will chase after the approval of people, I am becoming like Christ, I chase after Him. He has my full permission to speak into every area of my life, I give Him total access.
God says there is safety in a multitude of counselors, so I am directed by God, navigated by Him as He creates enduring friendships for me, friends that have a glimpse into my soul, friends He uses to speak into my life. If you are not doing life with me, if God has not set us up as friends, if we are just acquaintances, I will guard my heart, for out of my heart flows the issues of life and it is worth protecting it, it is valuable enough to listen up to God first, to give God that first permission to speak into my life and to withdraw that permission for those who do not know me, who do not do life with me.
Many times I have had people say to me: You are this… they label me. I in turn will say: I am not. You don’t know me. You don’t know my heart. I do not let a label stand that has been pasted on me irresponsibly by someone who does not have permission to speak into my life. Labeling is something we need to change up. Name calling, telling someone: You are a racist. You are a bigot. You are a liar. You are homophobic. You are self-righteous. You are stupid. You are foolish. You don’t care. It is funny how things work out in life that a lot of times there is transference when people label you, they are labeling you with the label of who they truly are, the label they give you is a reflection of their own heart.
There we go… just a very few of the labels we human beings use to judge one another when we have no clue of the other person’s heart or motive, only God does. So it is godly wisdom not to label others as much as it is godly wisdom to not let someone speak a label upon your life. Only God Knows. Give God total access to your life, give Him permission to speak into your life and you will know truth, you will learn and grow into His character, been shaped and designed by Him.

Need God?
I am not ashamed to say: I need You Lord. I am not foolish to think I can navigate my own life in times such as these, where this world is so topsy-turvy. So much that we have known for so long is like living in an opposite day: Good is bad and bad is good. We have flip-flopped our morals and godly character is now a persecuted thing. What is right is being unjustly indicted and what is wrong is being overlooked, not held accountable and lifted up, and acclaimed.
True Godly heroes are defamed and falsely accused as ungodly people take their position of fake authority, steal, kill and destroy the innocence of children, and cancel all things christian, the good, the right, and all the sin Jesus died to save us from, is now flaunted in our face through the naked bodies of men trying to be women and women trying to be men. There are only two genders. Two! We are now being defined by our sexual preferences, we are so much more than this, we are created to be so much more than an identity based on sexual appetites. We were created in God’s Image, shaped and designed by Him in our mother’s womb. Our identity is in God, not in all these made up fake reality gender falsities. We need God.

Our human authority, taken illegitimately has corrupted absolutely and we are suffering, yet You are growing us through the horrific consequences we are growing through; You have not left us, nor forsaken us, but are purposefully shaping us through all of our human mess. Jesus bring us back to the basics of You, Jesus being our first in the all of our everything.
Get back to the basics of putting God first. In times such as these to step out on your own to follow a human being instead of God, to look to a human being to save you is dangerous drifting away from God being at the center of our lives. We need God, we need a vital-vertical relationship with Him. In times such as these, make God your enough, open your heart wide to Him, do life with Him. Don’t be ashamed because you need God, it is the wisest choice you can make to step out in the morning and your first step out is bowed down to God, yielding your life, your day to His way, truth and life.
Our flesh is weak, but God is the strength of our lives. We are seeing so much horrific behavior as the human condition has run amuck. Without God we are not good human beings and we are seeing this now, we are experiencing this now. We need God to strengthen us, to guide us, to protect us and we pray: Come Lord Jesus, Navigate Us On This Day, We Yield To You.

Simply-Significantly Enough
God is my enough! I declare this and I want to know it deep within my heart and this means I need to know Him better. He is a mighty God, Way-Maker, powerful in all of His ways. God is everything in our all. Isaiah 43 tells us God knows us, calls us by name. It also shows that God is personal. The thought that we have so much negative in our world right now. When you hear that negative thought in your mind say: Who Said That? Because it was probably said by the enemy of our soul.
If we look through the right lens, we will see God is masterfully at work in our world. If we see things through a Kingdom Perspective, instead of a worldly viewpoint we will see so much more positive than negative. Is your soul stirred up with anxiety, fear, loneliness, worry, doubt and unbelief, then your life will not be stable and you will be knocked down by the waves coming into the shore of your life. But if we anchor ourselves to God, getting to know God better, by His Word, and through our vital-vertical relationship with Him, our soul is much more stabilized and we will know that we know, without a doubt, Jesus is simply-significantly our enough for times such as these.
Our Everlasting and personal God, His Holy Spirit, with us always, for us always, loving us like no other, He is our Deliverer, He is our Rock of Refuge! Knowing God better helps us to see things differently, we see much more good than bad, and we are able to trust that God is our enough in the all of our everything and know without a doubt that He has not relinquished His authority to the enemy, He is working in the unseen for our good and His glory. The best is yet to come as we realize that God has already won, and He is purposefully working out all things, heading towards a spectacular endgame. I
Right now, it may not look as pretty as we would like it too, the enemy may appear to be winning some strategic battles, but we can’t go with what we see, we walk by truth and faith, not by sight, believing and trusting our Awe-GOD and giving Him the time and room to work things out in His ways, which are much higher than ours. God You are my enough. I believe in You, I believe You!

Transference Is
What Is Transference? How does it affect us? I have been thinking about transference lately and I have been talking to God about it, asking for His protection from it, and His wisdom not to do it. We all have been hurt by transference. Transference is a ploy of the enemy in our lives and we need to guard our heart with all diligence and don’t let ourselves become a vehicle of transference. Know what it is and fight against it entering into your life path, fight against being used by it and soul fatigued because of it. How? Begin with staying close to Jesus, draw near to Him, resist the enemy and He will flee. If transference is a part of your life path, refresh your soul in the promises of God and don’t let the enemy steal or fatigue your compassion. Let be, be still, let God work and most importantly give Him time to work and room to work. Fast and pray, because strong holds are broken when you do this, remembering it is not by Your might, or your power but by God’s Spirit that crooked places caused by transference can be made straight. Think On These: Proverbs 4:20-23; 1 Timothy 6:11-12; Jeremiah 29:11-14
I asked God to explain transference to me, to clarify what it was? Jesus showed me it was the reason He hung on the cross, He took the punishment for our sins, for something He never did. Jesus was proclaimed guilty by the very guilty ones who were transferring the consequences of their sin to Him. He was blamed for what they did and suffered because of what they did. 1 Peter 2:21-24
Transference is when you think you are a victim and you are not, you point your finger at someone else so you don’t have to deal with your own mess you have created. You take out your past relationship hurts on the wrong people, the ones who did not hurt you, because that is easier on the root of bitterness from your past hurts that plaques your soul. It is so much easier on you to take the focus off of what the real problem is and blame someone else, who has nothing to do with the reality of your inner secreted truth.
Transference creates a fake reality through false accusations founded upon speculation, assumption, exaggeration, and presuppositions, and blame is born out of these spoken untruths. Be Lame. Blame! Transference is stirring up a huge tornado with dark emotions, and sucking everyone into it, as it crashes into people with emotional whirlwind after whirlwind. If someone refuses to step into your tornado and speaks truth that disrupts the flow of it, then you backlash them with all kinds of narcissistic lightening strikes. You talk about them to others and make them sound like they are some kind of a monster, damaging their reputation, and relationships with others as you blame them for what you have stirred up.
Proverbs 3:28-32
Then comes the emotional punishment, you punish them by not speaking to them and rejecting them, withdrawing your permission for them to be with you, setting conditions upon them and letting them know they are not welcome where you are. You can’t come here because you are our problem.
Once the tornado spins out, this is the conditional part of the storm, where favor is withheld because you did not meet their conditions because you spoke the truth, and that is when the self-righteousness attitude is flung around like dark mud on a white shirt. What a human mess… and my suggestion is that you don’t try to fix it, or clean it up while transference is in play. Turn to the Only One Who can, Jesus, the Reconciler Who never fails to make crooked places straight. Yield To Jesus. Pray. Isaiah 45:2-3
Life is a course in disarray because of soul vandals, and transferring the blame is the name of the game from nation to nation, community to community, people to people, and family to family. So many people their anger is out of control, and they are doing stupid, foolish things and we are paying the consequences for them, because they transfer the blame to us. If you have an anger issue and you cause something bad to happen, you made the bad choice, so stop blaming other people for it and deal with your own mess, stop transferring the problem on someone else, putting it on them. It is your fault, not mine. Dealing with transference is a difficult thing and this scripture will give you the godly wisdom to do so.
Then he told me, “This is the message from the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘You will not succeed by your own strength or by your own power. The power will come from my Spirit,’ says the Lord of heaven’s armies. Zechariah 4:6

Water Hole
Hey Heart To Heart, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for supporting our videos. We appreciate it.
Are you a golfer? Ever played golf? It can be challenging, but it is a fun challenge. I started playing when I was a little girl with my grandfather, who played 18 holes of golf every day of his retirement. He loved the game, He loved the challenge. Like the game of golf, life is a challenge we grow through through every single day. Sometimes there are obstacles in life and there are troubles in life. What did Jesus say to us? Well… He did not candy coat it… He said: You are going to have troubles in this world, but I have overcome the world. What does that mean?
Well, I think about golf, I have a weakness… I can’t drive over water… it gets in my head and even though I have a really good golf drive, I can’t do it when there is water!! That is what happens to us in life, we get into our head, we overthink things, we don’t lean into the truth and we end up swimming in the drink. God is with us, He never leaves us, He gave us an Advocate, someone who can navigate us over water holes, yet we try to do it on our own, we get into our own head, we try to be the fixer and we fail. We have to fix our eyes on Jesus, because He is the overcomer, He has already won! When I try to drive over a water hole, it gets into my head and I drive right into the water, but if I focus on the ball, forget about the challenge of water, just swing, keep my head down, eyes on the ball… I can drive over water.
As a golfer, water holes are not my favorite, the ones where you have to drive over water, but they are good for me because they demand a greater focus and I realize, I am up for the challenge. In life, we are so up for the challenges and the purposes of God are flowing in them, if we focus on Jesus, realizing that His purposes are in play and even if the challenge is great, His purposes are greater, than we can do more than we ever hoped for or imagined…. We can drive over water and land on the green, and we can get a part on that hole. Awe-GOD!

A Lovely Day
I hope you have a lovely day… those words were spoken in kindness to me, and a word echoed in my soul, the word “lovely”! I thought, what is my perfect “lovely” day? But then I knew, there is nothing perfect here in this world that I am in but not of. Yet, not everything perfect is dependent upon our circumstances, there is a huge variable that is not. God is perfect, I am not. Yet, God is always with me, He chose me, imperfect and all, He loves me. Lovely is the heart of God, that is never withdrawn from us, that attractive love we find in His Presence that draws us to Him in that magnetic way.
“My cherished bride, I am the beautiful spirit of all life! I offer Myself, all that I am to you each day through the possibility and purity of My love. My love for you is complete, a wholesome devotion expressed by My Holy Spirit, Who lives inside of you. Daily, I grant you a righteous, divine character through your holy alliance with My Spirit.” The Bridegroom’s Voice
What is lovely to you? Lovely to me is God’s Presence, that purity of righteousness found no where else, a holiness that when we get heart to heart with God, refreshes our human conditioned soul. Lovely, is the “always presence” of God in our lives, no matter what our situation prescribes, His Presence lifts us higher than the dark redacted script of our circumstances, and enlightens every dark place.
“The wisdom I impart to you today, My bride, is for you to always look beyond the façade of prettiness in your world and find My beautiful spirit of life! See the reflection of My Image in all things and seek out the beauty of My person and you will discover the true, beautiful spirit of life on earth as it is in heaven. My church, always be found in Me and I will enlighten your heart and nurture your spirit with an incredible security, a stability surpassing all your human understanding, a peace that I freely give you out of My inner heart of grace. How beautiful is the glorious Bride of Christ!” The Bridegroom’s Voice
The enemy can’t steal our light when we choose to be positioned in the effervescent glory of God, heart to heart with God, in personal relationship with God. This is lovely… this is a lovely and beautiful thing, the Omnipresence of our God, stolen by no one and nothing can dim it. This makes for a lovely day. What loveliness has been abundantly showered upon us by our God? His Love… unconditionally, simply-significantly so.
For the Lord God is brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise! Wrapping himself around me like a shield, he is so generous with his gifts of grace and glory. Those who walk along his paths with integrity will never lack one thing they need, for he provides it all! O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, what euphoria fills those who forever trust in you! Psalms 84:11-12
https://my.bible.com/bible/1849/PSA.84.11-12
Lovely! God, You Are So Lovely. Beautiful in character, holy, pleasing in joy, inspiring in love, and lovely in Your affection towards us. Your nature charms us, delights us, allures us and Your amazing character is constantly seen and encouraging us to be lovely like You in goodness, kindness, wisdom, righteousness, peace and joy. You, Lord Jesus inspire our love and affection, and Your purity of righteousness leads us with a heavenly loveliness that infuses our human condition, with strength to say no to our flesh and yes to Your Kingdom living. It is absolutely lovely to be alert to Your Presence, the beautiful spirit of life. What a lovely day it makes.
“I will write My word upon your heart, encouraging and inspiring you unto good works. Church, I encourage you to daily apply My wisdom to your soul and I, in turn, will inscribe My sovereign will on your spirit and strengthen the steadfastness of your character in My holiness. My bride, I encourage you to refresh and purify the emotions of your soul daily as you commune with My beautiful Spirit of life, heart-to-heart.”#TheBridegroomsVoice KimberlyMac
The world at times is not a lovely place, mostly in this life season we find ourselves thrust in, where good has been flip-flopped by evil to be bad and bad flip-flopped to be good, it makes for a horrifically corrupted human condition… not exactly lovely living. It muddies our soul as we focus on the shock of its depravity, therefore we lift our eyes higher to the beauty of life, to the Presence of our God. Our worldly viewpoint at times is deplorable, but our Kingdom perspective at all times is lovely. Wherever God is, and He is Omnipresent with us, this is so very lovely.
“My bride, there will be times when your inner beauty will be muddied, stained by the corruption of your culture. Don’t be afraid, lean on My perfect love. I promise I will cleanse your heart and remove any impurities and once again you will have a fresh, beautiful spirit, purified by My Spirit of life. My bride, even the ashes of your yesterdays, I can convert into beauty, transforming them into valuable heart treasures. Come to Me and My Spirit will refresh the charisma of your heart with a renewed newly cleansed attitude, which will saturate your soul.” The Bridegroom’s Voice
I hope you have a lovely day my friends! May God bless your day in the loveliness of Jesus Christ, heart to heart with Him. He is the best of this life here on this side of heaven, lovely in all of His ways and we can be best because of Him, we can be lovely, just like He is. His loveliness will be with us always, we will never be a God forsaken people, He loves us extremely well in the beauty of His Holiness, His ever present life in us and through us. Jesus makes our lives in this sin muddied world, pure, lovely and beautiful.

We Say NO
Galatians 6:7-10 https://my.bible.com/bible/1849/GAL.6.7-10
I am so tired, aren’t you, so tired of these arrogant self-righteous people who think they have claim to our lives. These sinful people being used by the enemy of our soul, whose purpose is to kill, steal and destroy us. These evil enticed people are changing things up in a bad way, so suddenly so quickly, like a bad current causing us to drift out to sea and drown. They think they have the right to do horrific things to humanity because they feel that we are over populated and it is their life goal to kill, steal and destroy our lives. They are foolishly playing God with our lives. Makes me sick what they are dong to us and our children. Resist the enemy and fight the good fight of faith.
Hebrews 6:18-19 https://my.bible.com/bible/8/HEB.6.18-19
As you can tell, I have a lot of righteous anger right now about these people, and I hope God takes everything they are doing to us, every evil act, every evil intention and boomerangs it back on them. I pray this. We do have a recourse and that is to remember God is with us. As this evil current pushes into our communities, look to Jesus, He is our buoy to hold onto in the midst of the bad current, He will hold us firm, He will anchor us to His way, truth and life. He will not allow this ungodly current which is pulling at our culture, causing all kinds of chaos, to prosper over us. God will make a way of escape for us from the evil intentions of our enemy.
Timothy 6:11-12 https://my.bible.com/bible/1849/1TI.6.11-12
Fight the good fight of faith! Resist The Enemy! We pray in the name of Jesus, and we deny the enemies evil plan, we deny the the enemy access to speak into our lives, we deny the enemy access to our body, soul or spirit, and we deny the enemy access to every area of our lives and the lives of those we love. We say NO in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior, Redeemer, Protector and Provider, we deny access to the enemy to disrupt our lives.
Psalms 94:20-23 https://my.bible.com/bible/1849PSA.94.20-23
We say NO and GOD says ENOUGH and He will act on our behalf, He will send a boomerang of Justice and Judgement on the evil that has been formed against us. There is nothing the enemy has done to us that God can’t reverse. He is a God of miracles and it only takes Him a moment to reverse the curse of the enemy of our soul. We look to God, we draw close to God, we rely on Him, knowing a power higher than ourselves, connected heart to heart with Jesus, we deny the enemy access to our lives. We say No!

Storm After Storm
No doubt about it, this is a very cultural stormy life season. The cultural chaos is loud and very noisy to our soul. The state of our nations is “flux”! The cultural storms are coming in one after another and it makes us feel overwhelmed and hopeless. We can’t even catch our breath between these life storms as they roll in. God wants us to activate our faith and listen up to Him. How do we do that in these crazy times?
How do we stay safe in these cultural storms, so we are not led by fear and jumbled up emotions? So that we are not deceived and impulsively make bad choices. Stillness is a good answer. Clear your soul with God’s Word, His truth is a great stabilizer. Make time to sit in God’s Presence and soak up His peace into your soul. Stillness is valuable in times such as these and we should treat it as such. God’s Word is our strength. We need to creatively think of ways to be in God’s Word. I listen to it when I walk. I have certain verses taped to my mirror and I see them when I get up in the morning. I pray God’s Word.
I spend time in my Vital-Vertical relationship with God in His Word, talking with Him, praying for my family. This is a precious time for me each day, kind of like an appointment with God that I look forward to every morning. I don’t compartmentalize God out of my life. He is in all of my life, this is being wholehearted with God, having an undivided heart. (Psalm 86:11-12) I practice the Presence of God all day, inviting Him into everything, because He is there, in the all of my everything. There is not a moment I am without God. In the calm times, He is there, in the stormy times He is there. Omnipresent GOD! Oh, how I love that about Him.
We need to practice the Presence of God, talking with Him about everything, standing in Awe of Who He is and sharing our concerns with Him, giving Him our feelings so we don’t act on them, but we act out of God’s navigation of truth and faith as God leads us. I love this quote by A.T. Pierson. “Go as I am led. Go when I am led. Go where I am led.”
Yes, our culture is in a state of flux and it is not always good changes that are taking place. The storms are raging, but God is in the storms. These storms are very distracting, so we need to learn to look away and be God focused, be alert to God’s Presence. This is not a time for casual Christianity, it is a time to be all in with God. Wholeheartedness in our relationship with God is a good way to be safe and protected in times such as these. God is with us, God is for us. Trust Him. Let be, be still and know He is God.

Sweet Stillness
Stillness inside to outside. The wind is whipping up cultural chaos in this life season we find ourselves thrust in. Stillness inside is what we need. Our soul still before God, and yielded to Him. Our spirit bowed in that surrender of all things us in this world. We bow our will before the Sovereignty of our God in Awe of Who He is. There is something so beautiful about a soul that has been stilled by God, a spirit that has connected with God, a will that is yielded to God, and a mind that has let be, stilled itself to a place of purely listening up to God. This is when we hear that still small voice inside of us and can be navigated by The Holy Spirit. Yielded: Not my will but Yours. Lord God. Stillness of spirit, soul, mind and will is a beautiful thing.
The enemy of our soul bombards us with distraction, disfunction, disparity, disillusionment, discouragement, and creates a whirlwind of chaos and confusion all around us, so that all we see is the “devil “d” craftiness, and our focus is stolen and our stillness is wrecked. We can’t let Him steal our stillness of soul. God is with us, so very Present at all times, we can reach out of the enemies plan for us, and grasp the mighty right hand of Almighty God, and He can pull us up out of a “Devil D” pit into His sweet stillnesss.
Yield - Believe - Trust and activate our faith, these are the sweet moments we can connect heart to heart with God, shutting out all the cultural chaos and be embraced by a stillness that saturates our soul, shuts down our mind chaos, and focuses our spirit on Him, as we yield to His way, truth and life. Do you have chaos in your soul? Whatever God asks you to do, lean into it, yield to God what you want to do in reaction to your “Devil D” situation, and look up, connect with God, and wait on Him in sweet stillness. Watch in prayer, wait in hope and see the glory of God.

Free Indeed
We are created in God’s Image and designed and destined to be free. Yes, this is us human beings. We were created by our Creator God, shaped with the liberty of a free will. This is what He wanted for us, freedom, liberty and justice for all. It is a paradox that the very free will we were created to have, has been corrupted by our human condition and is now being used by a few, to take away the freedom, liberty and justice of most of us. This evil plan has been put in motion by the enemy of our soul, to use a few to enslave the masses. This is a direct violation of the Sovereign Will of God. These evil engulfed people, are so deceived that they actually think they can defeat the supremacy of God, superseding His plan for the Creation He shaped for freedom, a people with liberty and free will. This is God’s design.
1 IN [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off].
There is nothing about God’s Infinite creation that a finite being can alter forever. Look at the powerful truth of God, how it has endured the test of time, and deception will not win out over it, because God’s truth has over all the years withstood the trials of the foolishness of mankind. Truth still reigns and the unbelief of human beings has not even put a dent in its staying power. Unbelief has no power over God’s truth. With our free will, we choose Christ and in this freedom of God’s Truth, no one can enslave us again. We stand on the side of truth, free in Christ Jesus.
Evil will not prevail against Almighty God. God Wins. Period. Our freedom is fragile, because incredibly foolish human beings have underestimated the power of God and they actually, arrogantly think that they can take control of His created people, they foolishly think they can control the population and decrease it, they think they can enslave us all. The can’t. They won’t win.
People trying to Lord over other people, they serve no power higher than self, therefore they are blinded to the power of God. They do not know the deliverance, redeeming, resurrected power of God. They do not know truth. They do not know God. God is faithful in all of His ways to His people. God will not allow this evil to alter the plans He has set in motion for His people and His creation. They absolutely can not touch the future God has planned for us. God will say No.
And to the evil and those being used by the evil one, Almighty God will say: ENOUGH! God will finish this battle well and His freedom, justice and liberty for all will prevail. Yes, the storm is upon us, but God is in the storm. These evil, self-righteous arrogant and foolishly deceived people have underestimated the power, wisdom, knowledge of our Omnipresent God and His people. God will prevail over the evil of our time.
These evil people, trying to steal, kill and destroy us, being used by the father of lies, every evil plan, motive and action that they have done, will come back on them. The boomerang of God will bring with it heavy consequences for their sin. Our freedom has become fragile and limp because they have carried out secreted evil plans. These sin sick people, with absolute power that has corrupted absolutely, they actually think they can take over the whole world. But God has exposed and will continue to bring their evil to the light of His Truth, and He will expunge it, He will deliver us and restore the strength of our freedom once again.
We must look to God as these days ahead will become darker as the evil one makes his final stand from the place of defeat. As a wounded animal is at its most dangerous state, these are dangerous times for us. As we yield to God, trusting Him, staying in followship of Him, listening up to Him we will hear that still small voice: This is the way walk in it. We will be navigated and provided for during the battle for our freedom and God will use us by the way of His power, wisdom and might, as we are navigated by Him, our tattered freedom will stand. Evil motives, evil crafty plans will not deny us our God given freedom. We are free indeed in Christ Jesus!
Our national flag may be limp, but it will fly freely again and we will once again be One Nation Under God with liberty, freedom and justice for all. We use our free will to position ourselves underneath the Rulership of God’s Love. We ask for forgiveness of our sins, our wicked ways and we pray to our Father God for deliverance and restoration, placing our hope in Him. Therefore, there is no evil formed against God’s children that will prosper. Give your heart to Jesus Christ, be a part of of the family of God and stay in followship of His way, truth and life. Everything we know and have known to be normal to us will come crashing down in these times, but God’s loyalty to us, His love for us and His truth will remain. God will make all things new for us. God is for us. God Wins.
Justice has been hijacked by evil and, we trust God to restore the liberty of true justice, we wait for it, we patiently endure in belief of our God, knowing His Sovereignty will stand, knowing He is working in the unseen and knowing His endgame is for our good. The restoration of freedom is God’s battle, and those who have rejected the grace and mercy God has been extending them in times such as these, they will suffer without the hope, peace and protection of God. He has been long suffering with this present evil generation, but He will no longer be so. He will restore liberty and justice for all and all those who stand on the side of evil will lose.
We, Christians, the family of God, firmly stand on the side of truth, wavering not. We know without a doubt, the full counsel of the Word of God, the truth of Jesus Christ, makes us free indeed. We will not be enslaved to a yoke of worldly bondage, to a corrupted finite supremacy, and will yield ourselves, wholly-holy entrusting ourselves to our faithful, trustworthy, always present and powerful God.
It is to the supremacy of Jesus, we bow our knee to in reverence, honor and belief of His way, truth and life. There is no other god before Him, He is Supreme and no human being can travail against His Sovereign Will for His people, bought by His precious blood for us. We are adopted children of God. As His children, we belong to no one else, we are not enslaved to anyone, or in bondage to anything, as freedom is our God given right. In Christ we stand, on the solid rock of His Word we are secure in our future.
Man’s will can not prevail against the Sovereign Will of God. Trust God, and give God the room He needs to work. No Fear! It is always darkest before the dawn. God is at work in the unseen and He will deliver us from evil. We will be free, just as He designed us to be. We have a future and hope no deplorable human being can alter. Let God Work. He will restore 100 percent the liberty, freedom, and justice that has been stolen from us. Watch in prayer, wait in followship and see the glory of God.

Led By God
Knowledge, Wisdom, Kindness, Goodness, Discernment, Truth, Love… all these wonderful things deep within our inner spiritual core. Christ’s Holy Spirit in us, the hope of glory, He is functioning within us, leading us from within to respond godly without. When we react, flying into an emotional rage, nothing good happens. When we respond to God, when those suddenly things happen, we have His grace, kindness, truth and unconditional love inside of us, from within to without it goes. This is how God leads us out of human reaction to Holy Spirit Led response that is godly and heals, restores and revives. Reaction, kills, steals and destroys, it is from the enemy of our soul. Response, being Holy Spirit led, is abundant in love, truth, kindness and enhances value in our relationships.
“We have strong feelings, often driven by compelling circumstances. Yet all is worsened by giving our emotions free reign.” Robert J. Morgan
What happens when someone is trying to control you with their emotions of anger? How do you handle it? It is either react or respond. Our emotions are like a speed boat flying into an inlet full of currents, so beware when you let those emotions fly, something can go really wrong as we foolishly speed head on into into an inlet of jumbled up currents. The Holy Spirit is in our heart and when we respond to God first, drawing on the strength of God in us, we can have grace, goodness, and unconditional love. Where there is no grace given, there is no true God relationship found, it is all about religion, self-righteousness and religious doings. Being found in God, living through His strength, makes all things possible, and we can respond godly even if the current of the day is anger, bitterness, and mean-spirited banter.
When someone has narcissistic behavior and is trying to control us with emotional meanness, saying mean things, doing spiteful-retaliatory things, it feels impossible to respond godly. Sometimes we just “flesh out” in finite reaction. But with God, His Holy Spirit in us, we can respond godly by His strength, through His wisdom and discernment. Kindness and grace are lacking when self-righteousness, condemnation, and religiosity quench it. Sometimes we don’t lead with God’s grace, and we put condemnation on people by conditional judgements about assumed behavior, being critical about things that we are not even living up too, by punishing them emotionally, by placing conditions on them, and by ghosting them out of your life. When this kind of human reaction happens, what spirit are we working out of, it is not the Holy Spirit of God, so who is it then? Who is leading us?
When we are saved, yielding our lives to Jesus Christ, we get an amazing gift deposited deep within our inner spiritual core, it is God’s Holy Spirit. We can be navigated by His Spirit, at all times, no matter what. When we “react” with negative emotions, this will always be out of the human condition, it is a finite reaction and does not end well. A godly response is by the strength and power of the Holy Spirit, and it is always truth in love, and grace by way of mercy, and this response is not willed by us, but navigated by the power of the Holy Spirit of God in us. We are trusting God, not trying to fix things, but putting our faith in the Fixer, Jesus Christ, and allowing His Holy Spirit to work through us with truth and love. We can’t save people, Jesus is the Savior. Be silent, Be calm, Be still and stay confident in God, giving God time to work.

Love You
There is a lot of anxiety in our cultural chaos and it is contagious as we hear people express how they are feeling in times such as these. The best cure for anxiety is declaring your love and praise for the only One Who can dispel anxiety, shattering the soul darkness of it... and that is Jesus Christ. Oh, what a love He gifts us with. If you are feeling that overwhelming anxiety that arises from panic from your worldly viewpoint, you can know peace again as you express the love in your heart for God. You have a Kingdom Perspective, God's precious Words, of how much He loves us (John 3:16) So, speak it out, how much you love God and shatter the darkness of anxiety with your declaration of love for Jesus Christ, our Savior, Redeemer, Deliverer, the ONE we can truly trust in anxious times.
There is so much I love about You, Lord God. I mostly love You are true, that there is nothing deceptive about You. You say what you mean, You mean what you say. Who do you love? What or Who do you worship? I am here today to tell us that Jesus, the One Who loves us most, laid down His life for us, died a horrific and painful death, so we could be free, forever. Jesus defeated death for us, now we have eternal life. There is so much about Jesus that I love. He is faithful, loyal, true, and He is mighty to save, a deliverer, a winner in all things. He has never lost. What is best about Him is His love. He loves us unconditionally, He never treated us like slaves, He gave us a free will, hoping we would chose Him. I love that about Him. He is so confident in Who He is, what He is about, that He gives us the option to chose Him, because He knows we will. There is no greater love, no one has loved us better than our God. I love that I am free to grow in Christ Jesus, to experience life with Him, to grow through in that way only He can empower. I worship Jesus, in a wholly-holy way, because He loves me this way first. He is the fullness of truth, there is no evil in Him, no deception. You can believe what He says, what He promised you will happen. He will always be with us, He will never turn on us, be disloyal to us or leave us in our sinful, deplorable human nature. Jesus made a way for us, a way of truth and life and this is love like no other. I love you Lord Jesus, with my life! AweGOD! I hope you all consider to do the same, choose Jesus, it will be the best choice you ever made on this side of heaven and it will bring you to the heart of God, to a love so sure, so steady, so true, you will never experience anything like it. That is why I know without a doubt, I am loved by God completely and it is a love that I reciprocate in worship of Him with my life, wholly-holy so. Jump in to a love greater than this life and say with a pure heart: I Love You Lord.

Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for that’s where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor, and authority! Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm. Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the tie to this life, and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ. Colossians 3:1-3 TPT

Crooked Paths
With all the cultural chaos of our time, this life season can truly have some crooked path’s to maneuver. It is really stormy culturally so, and we may be fogged in by the injustices that are going on, so much so that it is hard to find our way, to safely maneuver the choices that need to be made so we can move forward without tripping and falling. God has the whole picture, we only see in part, and that part sometimes is so confusing because we don’t always understand God’s ways. It is more than obvious in times such as these, that God’s ways are not our ways. Sometimes we find ourselves on a dangerous pathway, trying to navigate in a fog, during a stormy life season. It may feel impossible to find our way, but we know God is with us and we know of His faithfulness to lead us before, so we wait on His navigation, knowing He will not leave us in this situation, nor will He forsake us. Going by what we see, feel and are experiencing, it can be scary, but living by faith, knowing that God’s Holy Spirit will navigate us, we will find our way, and we will safely grow through this stormy life season, we can trust God no matter what we are feeling, seeing or experiencing. God has not abandoned us, He is working in the unseen for our good. God always wins because He is an excellent finisher! Awe-GOD! You can trust Him!

Negative Nellie
It is definitely, no doubt about it, easier to focus on the negative right now. Why? Because there is so much of it! Deception is rampant and as people listen up to false narratives time and time again, it becomes a fake reality, a bondage of deception. People are anxious, angry, bitter, mean spirited and it is easy to focus on this kind of thing more than we do the positive that is also happening all around us. God is still at work, creating and maintaining is His thing. There is so much around us that is miraculous, the amazing things of the Lord, the things He is doing. Yes, our world is changing and some of the morality changes make us sick to our stomach. But, we can’t become “Negative Nellies”! God is still here and He is still working on our behalf. There is so much in our world that is still so very beautiful because God is still in control and He has not abdicated His authority to evil. Beauty exists and it exists in Jesus, in His way, truth and life. As we tap into God’s miraculous flow of personal relationship and we listen up to His Word, hearing His Promises, our mood can quickly change from negative to positively great as we recognize the goodness of our God, focusing on His faithfulness and trustworthiness. God is still for us, we have not lost His loyalty and devotion. He loves us! This is our enough, our positive that trumps the negative the enemy of our soul is dishing out. Yes, there is a lot of negative, but their is also positive and we can choose to look past the negative and let our focus rest on God and believe Him that He is working in the unseen for our good. Praise God! He is here, He is in control and our future is in Him.

Don't Understand?
Our human understanding is not enough. It is full of the deceptors of assumptions, speculations, rationalizations, feelings and opinions not based on the reality of truth, but on what we “think we know”! God knows everything, from knowledge, to experience, to feelings, to motives, to secreted things. God knows it all. If you need understanding, He is the one to go to first. Our ways are not His ways, that is for sure and there are times we can’t even begin to wrap our mind around the things that are occurring in our corrupted cultures. There is just no understanding of it all. Why would God do that? Why would God allow that? There is no understanding of it. When we run off doing our own thing because we can’t understand what God is doing, this is when human mess happens. What we see, feel, hear can be interpreted so wrong when all we have is a worldly viewpoint. God’ understanding is so needed, we should seek after it. God’s understanding is a beautiful thing, it brings us the gift of faith activated by Himself. We need to begin to acknowledge that God is in all of our ways, that He is doing something in the unseen and we don’t have to know the endgame because we know God is faithful, God is for us, God is an amazing finisher, Who finishes well. God is a winner! This is why we can trust God to lead us and navigate us through times such as these, from moment to choice. Faith says we don’t need to know the outcome, we can trust step by step because God is good and He hasn’t changed. God finishes well.

Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go. Don’t think for a moment that you know it all, for wisdom comes when you adore him with undivided devotion and avoid everything that’s wrong. Then you will find the healing refreshment your body and spirit long for. Proverbs 3:5-8

Blessed Incredibly
What an incredible blessing. We woke up to another day and God is with us, God is for us in this gift of another day. What will you do with this gift? Well, I am thinking that the best thing we can do with this gift of a new day, where God’s mercy is new for us is to receive it, the mercy of God, the love of God, the provision of God. How? Well, probably, for me, it will be, hopefully, that my first step out into this day will be down, bowed in reverence, awe, gratefulness before God.
Yes, I am thankful for this new day with all of its God goodness ahead, those great God Adventures of divine appointments that He has for us. But then, there is the other side of the coin, evil intentions of the enemy of our soul, and I don’t underestimate the wiles of the enemy to try to mess up my day with his stupidness. So, while I am down there, in my first step down, in Awe of God, I realize this is a vital-vertical connection I am making with the heart and power of Almighty God. Simply-Significantly, I take this so seriously. This time in my relationship with God is critical and I ask for what I need from God, I asked to be equipped for the day ahead.
I usually wake up optimistically, on the good side of the bed as people sometimes ask the opposite: Did you wake up on the bad side of the bed?? But I usually do get up happy and looking forward to time with God. I deeply realize, God has gifted me with much, just in the waking up to a new day, but I know He has immeasurably more for me than I could hope for, imagine or expect. With joyful expectation, and activated faith, I ask to be protected from evil, to be kept from temptation, to make the right choice the first time from every moment to choice I will have in this day gifted me. I ask My Father God to equip me with the wisdom, discernment and knowledge I need to succeed in this day ahead. I ask God to not let me drift away from truth because I live in a life season which is saturated with deception. I pray to make this gifted day all about the Gifter, Jesus Christ, the One Who has given me the ultimate gift of eternal life.
This great God adventure today, I want to live it out focused on Jesus, all in with His mission. I hope for it not to be about me, but all about Him and His Kingdom. If I do stumble here and there because of a lengthly focus on my worldly viewpoint, I ask the Holy Spirit to always be there for me, to pick me up, wholly-holy align me with truth and set me apart and on His way, navigated by Him. Because I am flesh, I know the value of this heavenly gift of a new day, I know my days are short in this flesh and I want to do the most I can do with my human condition, in its weakness, so I always ask for the Holy Spirit to infuse my weakness with His strength, and my day seems to be at its peak best when I am saying no to my flesh and yes to God. So I hope for us, that we take this wonderful gift of a day, given to us by God and use it for His glory. God bless ya. Enjoy!

Broken Vessels
When we have had a storm come in and the waves have been crashing into the shores of the beach, one thing you notice is that there are a lot of broken shells. Makes sense, the power of an angry wave breaks shells. It is like that in our culture, a lot of chaos crashing in on the shores of our nations. We can’t help but be affected by the storm that is upon our nations where morality has taken a nose dive and children are paying the high price of the bad choices of adults. There are a lot of broken people and broken people break people. Brokenness reproduces itself as broken people lash out against the world and the people all around them. We should not despair about the state of our nations, because God is still here, reaching for us. God has not abdicated His power to evil, He is working all things out for the good of His people. Living life in vital-vertical relationship with God is where our wholeness is restored and beautified. There is wholeness for our soul when we live in a relationship with God. God makes broken vessels beautiful. Are you broken? Connect with God today and begin your journey with Him towards wholeness. God makes beautiful broken vessels of light that pierce the night with the power and glory of His life. God, we pray You would revive your people once again, make us whole again as we connect with You, Heart To Heart.

God Wins
It feels like the whole world is a “teeter-totter” right now… Up and down… nothing is stable, everything is shaking. Nothing is as it should be and the “normal” we all used to know… long gone!! It seems like the victory comes, but the enemy is stripping it, reversing it. I guess the Lord is teaching us how to deal with discouragement and how to have a faith that patiently endures? Has that ever happened to you? You won a battle and then it got reversed?? The coolest thought is that the Lord is already the winner. He has won all of it. Jesus won the thing.
God will reverse what the enemy has stolen. There is nothing irreversible with God. Nothing! Sometimes our lives get calm, then all of a sudden a big wave comes in and knocks us off of our feet. At that point we need to get up and stand on the Promises of God, pray His Word, and believe that He can and He will reverse what the enemy has done. God loves to do this and He loves to do it in such an abundant way.
God always gives us back what has been stolen 100 fold. God’s endgame for us is always good. He finishes so well and usually the enemy of our soul underestimates God and plays their hand way too quick and definitely over plays their hand. That is why we need to patiently endure and wait in belief and trust of God, knowing He’s got the best plan ever for us and He will usher it in when the timing is perfect. He is so good at doing that. So today, if you feel discouraged, if you have felt the enemies backlash on your victory, look up and connect heart to heart with God. God’s gotcha covered! God wins!

Are You Free?
Does your nation know the blessing of freedom? Are you free? Are You One Nation Under God With Liberty And Justice For All? Freedom! Human Beings… what a fragile freedom we have because people, with no power higher than self want to steal it. But we STILL have it, our liberty...we were born to be free with the liberty of choice. God choose His Servant Warriors to fight for our God given freedom, because of the sacrifices of those who defended it and still fight for us to be free, we still have freedoms.
People, Patriots, Whose Passion It Is To Preserve Freedom, We Are Grateful And Honor Them. And Those Who Died Doing So, We Memorialize Them, Never Taking For Granted These Amazing People And What They Sacrificed For Us. In these times, even having the strongest leaders or military in the world, even this is under attack. There are evil people and leaders trying to usurp the rulership of God and what has ensued is a corrupted system of justice and cultural chaos because they can’t handle supremacy that was meant only for God.
God speaks Shalom=disrupting chaos and He speaks Truth=Freedom for all. We have peace and we are free people because of those God has enlisted and called, soldiers of God, who serviced our liberty with the giving of their lives to defend it. The memories of these Godly warriors are the memorial of our freedom, their courageous and strong actions always remembered, and treasured as our freedom, they purchased with their lives, is used in a respectful, honorable, righteous, and civl ways. We have been given more than we can repay and this precious freedom should never be taken for granted.
I think about Jesus Christ and all He did for us, so we could live forever free. Jesus, the Son of God, He came here, the King of heaven, took on flesh. (Incarnate) God in the flesh, came to us to defend our freedom of choice with the truth He came to share. We owed a death-debt we could not pay, He paid it with His life. He died so we might forever, freely live. He purchased our freedom from death. We have the freedom to have an opinion, the freedom to fly our countries flag which is the symbol of our liberty, the freedom to go to work, the freedom to learn and grow, the freedom to travel with our family, the freedom to attend church and worship God, the freedom to choose what we do and want to be, the freedom to raise our children, the freedom to make choices for our medical health, and the liberty to live, move, love, serve and be a part of all the things of our community that we choose. We are free.
We are free because it is an inalienable God given liberty to all mankind. God gave us a free will. He gave us the freedom of choice. Liberty for all, this is a God given freedom of choice that He does not interfere with. As we connect with God, heart to heart, we know Him, we experience Him and we realize the truth of God, which sets us completely free. Because we got to know God, experience His love and power, we freely choose Him. He gave us that right of choice, hoping, desiring for us to choose the best of life, which is Him, His way, and truth. He never pushed anything on our will, He let us choose. He is alive, He is with us, He is for us, there is no greater God than Him.
No man can steal our God given freedom, our liberty of heart which He gives us daily. In Christ, we are free indeed. Our flag flies freely, for now, but we have a fragile freedom because our culture is corrupting as we are attacked from within our nations from those who want to steal our freedom, subjugate, and hurt our children, stealing their innocence and isolating children from their family and parents. These corrupted, power hungry, soul sick people want to create a tyrannical society where we serve them as they serve no power higher than self. There has never been a time in history where absolute human power has not corrupted absolutely. Socialism and tyrannical dictators leave behind a legacy of suffering and death. We must say YES to GOD and NO to these power hungry, soul sick, evil people.
Our lives are in the hands of our God, He has not relinquished His authority to evil. We look to God as this deplorable enemy, which we do not underestimate, pushes deception into our societies creating a chaos that disrupts our peace. We look to Almighty God and we pray for Him to protect our liberty against the attack of these evil forces who serve no power higher than self. God is here, with us, and He wants to be a part of our lives, so we look to Him. We have to stop looking to human beings, whose hearts are wickedly evil, whose absolute power has corrupted absolutely. We must return our hearts to the Rulership of our God, this is where we will experience incorruptible power and abundant love and provision.
Human beings, created by God, created in His Image, uniquely shaped in our mother’s womb as male or female, with individual design and purpose, we must return to God, and wholly-holy align ourself with God, this is our reasonable service in times such as these.

Gloomy Gus
Is your soul affected by gloomy days? Does your attitude need sunshine to be able to smile? I have been there and done this! Had a soul atmosphere of gloom if the weather was bad, or if something didn’t go the way I planned. I have been a “Gloomy Gus” so many times until I realized that my happiness was a choice for joy and joy was found in my connection with God. God Joy is a strength like no other! I love this joy because no matter what external was happening, internally I was good, it was well with my soul! God’s joy doesn’t need sunshine, it is a choice to choose joy, to be happy because of Him, because of our future in Him. It is so incredible, our future that Jesus bought for us by His life, and no day that has no sunshine in it, that is gloomy and hard, where things are happening that we can’t even wrap our mind around, no day like this, and nothing eternal can steal our joy.
Yes, we have an enemy, and yes He wants to steal our joy because he knows this is our strength. Our future is secure from everything and every one and especially the enemy of our soul. God won that battle already! This is our joy, our unspeakable joy, our abundant joy. We can choose to be gloomy in soul because the weather of the day is gloomy or we can choose Jesus Joy. Choosing to be gloomy based on external things like weather and bad situations, I call this being a “gloomy gus”! Have you ever been a “gloomy gus”? I sure have and it is not fun! It makes a gloomy day even worse! Our soul attitudes reflecting the weather or the situations of our life is not a good choice for us and doesn’t end well, in fact it dead ends us in depressive ways.
Honestly, we have so much to be grateful for and we should reflect the joy of Jesus, our future and our hope is in Him. Gratefulness is our path to peace. So today, choose life, choose joy, and shake off that gloominess in your soul. It is a good day when we say say no to gloomy gus, not even letting the gloom enter our soul, and mess with our heart attitudes. We say “YES” to the joy of Jesus! We yield our day with all its God methods and purposes in play, to the Sovereign Will of our God, Who knows best for us and is working all the gloom and doom out for our good. What an amazing AWE-GOD He is!

My Focus
The cultural storms are rolling in quickly and they are strong enough to capsize us in our soul! In times such as these, we can’t be distracted by these storms, we need to keep our eyes on Jesus. We don’t want to end up beached! We can’t look to people, they can’t help us. People can’t fix what is happening in times such as these. Jesus is the Fixer! Jesus knows about these storms and He knows how to right our keel, He knows how to save us. Jesus can bring our boat upright and cause us to be able to navigate the rough waters of our culture in times such as these where there is so much cultural chaos as the storms roll in, one after the other, pounding everything we are used to and making our lives abnormal. Change is happening in our society.
There isn’t one thing that hasn’t gone up in price, everything costs more and you get less. More for less! Except God’s economy is the opposite, He gives us more and increases our provision too. There is nothing that deters God in taking care of us. He is a good Shepherd. Today, we will have everything we need. There isn’t much that isn’t shaking in our society, everything that can shake is being uprooted and there is nothing really that is secure as change is rapidly taking place. It is hard to even recognize our nations, the enemy of our soul is devastating our culture.
What now? We stay anchored to Jesus, Who is a strong anchor and He changes not. Our future in Christ Jesus is secure, unshakeable, and guaranteed. Jesus and His Word should be our focus as we ride out these cultural storms. Remember, God is in the storm, there is no one who has usurped His authority and He has not released His authority over us to anyone. God is in control.

More Than Enough
Yes, God can. There are times we feel that we are “underneath it all” but we are not. God is more than able to finish what He started in us. No Doubt About It! If life has given you a hard time and you feel stuck in a difficult situation, don’t fret, just ask God for help. It seems like a simple answer, “ask God” but it is a powerful solution. God can do anything and He can do it better and give us a result that is more than we could have imagined or hoped for. God is our more than enough.
I bought this almost dead little yellow rose bush that I really did not think would make it, I bought it to try to save it because I love yellow roses. I didn’t have much hope for it. I nurtured it daily with water, fertilizer and kept at it, not giving up, and that scrawny, half dead rose bush just took off and became the most beautiful yellow rose bush I have ever seen.
I think about my life, there were times I felt like I was that scrawny rose bush, and there was no way I could bloom in this life, I had way too much against me. I was wrong. God is more than enough for us. I have been through many things in my life time, but one thing I have not been is forsaken by God. Many are our trials at times, but God grows us through them all, and we eventually will bloom as we trust Him, leaning into Him, finding our sustenance in our vital-vertical relationship with Him.
There is no situation that we find ourselves in where we are without hope. When we ask God for navigation and help, He is right there, activating His purposes for our lives. God is more than enough and He can do things for us that we can’t even begin to imagine He could do. I know, I have seen it in my life where He took me from situations where I was at the bottom of life and brought me up to the top. I know He can, I know He is more than enough. God is faithful and trustworthy. Trust Him today, ask God for help and watch Him work things out in that way only He can. God can take your scrawny, half dead rose and make a magnificent rose bush out of it and you will bloom and it will be beautiful. God bless ya.

I Am Thankful
We stand and we stand firmly when we have a foundation of God's Word and gratefulness. Why? Gratefulness has a strong object, an unbreakable foundation. I am grateful. One thing I know God is with me and for me. I am so grateful for this. I am thankful that no matter what we are growing through on this side of heaven, we have a bright promise for a forever without sickness, pain, disappointment, injustice, our future is going to be amazing and as we think on this, our Awe-God gratefulness becomes our focus. Evil is parading itself on the streets of our world as lawlessness and injustice are two prevalent things in our lives. It looks as if evil is winning, but this is not so, the truth is God wins.
If we stay focused on all the amazing things God is doing, and we stir up our heart with gratefulness, we see less and less of the bad and more and more of the good. Gratefulness seems to fine tune our God discernment which activates our faith on what is not seen but believed for. It is not that we don’t “see” the bad, it is there, it just doesn’t capture our attention like God does. Gratefulness helps us because it takes our soul captive with the belief that God is at work in the unseen for our good and being thankful, it helps us let go and let God work.
Today, we focus on Jesus, and we are grateful that He has grounded us in the strength of His Word. We are thankful for God’s Presence, and grateful that His Word holds us fast in the times where the world is battering us with cultural chaos. The waves of our crazy culture crash into our pilings and they hold because the foundation is strong, the Word of God is a fantastic foundation, it holds like an anchor.
We are grateful for the Shalom of God which speaks peace into our chaos, disrupting it in that way only God can. Have you ever had a stormy life season where the waves just come crashing in one after another? It is easy to focus on the waves and become so very fearful about our future. We overthink whether our lives can stand through these crazy cultural storms upon us. As we refocus, simply-significantly being grateful for God’s Presence, always with us, the waves don’t seem as threatening, and it is well with our soul even when the storms are whipping all around us. The object of our gratefulness is Jesus, so when our heart is steeped in thanksgiving, He is what we see, we are no longer focused on the storm.
What are you grateful for today? Speak it out to Jesus and focus your soul on all things God, His strong Word, His faithfulness, His trustworthiness, His power, His goodness, His plan, His peace, His character, and the future and hope Jesus bought for us with His life.

I Don't Like It
I don't like it. It is way outside my comfort zone! No! Not doing it that way! We don’t like God’s method’s. We don’t like God’s ways. We don’t like God’s timing. We don’t like God’s plan. When we swirl all this negative, stinking thinking around in our mind, before we know it, we are in full fledged rebellion against God. I can do this myself! I can do it better! Rebellion and foolish impulsivity pretty much go hand in hand. When we are impulsive, pride is always in the mixture and the one thing about pride that is always going to come through in our lives, is that pride goes before a fall. Whenever I have bucked up my will against God, it hasn’t ended so well.
God, I don’t understand Your ways and sometimes I can’t even wrap my mind around why You do things the way You do. Ever said this to God? Truly, who are we to question God? To think we can do, speak and be without God, without His strength and favor? Who are we to think we don’t need God? This kind of choice, independence from God has a crash and burn endgame. The only place we will end up is flat on our face. Well, this might be a good thing, being flat on our face before God, it is very humbling and probably will bring us back into wholly-holy alignment with God.
We do need God, there is no doubt about that. So, I hope for all of us to side step the deceptive traps of the enemy and walk with God in joy, strength, peace and wisdom. Lord, keep us dependent upon You in that heart to heart relationship with You. We are better people when we are in followship of You, Your ways, truth, life.
