I love the story of David the Bethelemite and Goliath the Philistine. The stone that actually killed Goliath is FAITH. How beautiful would it be to take your enemies down with a stone of faith and trust in the LORD to fight your battles. When you know how Powerful and Majestic your God is then a giant or a mountain has no chance in hell to bring you down. Count it on joy because Yeshua has paid it all with the sheading of His blood and now it has been made easier to destroy yokes and strongholds. When you deem yourself as a child of the Most High and the Messiah is your Deliverer then you are a force to be wreckoned with and the kingdom of darkness can only threaten you but can’t take your life as we saw in the book of Job. Gather your loins, be victorious and very courageous to fight against every evil thing/presence on and under the earth by activating your faith. Believing on Him who is above every name will benefit you today, tomorrow and also for eternal life.

What I’m saying is that even when you don’t have any physical armor a hedge of protection and provision can be placed upon you if you only ask our Creator. The Heavenly Father can do anything and He’ll even do everything to protect you because of your willingness to place Him first in your life. Choose life and deny death, use your faith and trust the LORD with your whole heart and watch Him take down your enemies with little to no effort from you. I love you all with the love of Christ…be blessed.

Faith without works

James Chapter 2

My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;

And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

The spirit of lust

Lust definition: a very strong sexual desire (for someone).

1 Corinthians 7:2-4

2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

In life we know that sexual sin can cause us to stumble and fall according to the word of God. If we are in ignorance the enemy will take advantage of our momentary demonic influenced weakness (the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak). In order to control dangerous burning desires Paul urges us to marry than to burn. Marriage is honorable in the sight of the Most High. If you are experiencing lust filled demonic attacks leading you to perversion of ant sort via pornography, cheating on your spouse, etc., please seek help spiritually and mentally. Lust can literally destroy your whole life! Rebuke it, pray against it and seek help…live and not die.

Shalom

Are you ready?

Many are called but few are chosen…are you ready to answer your calling? Your given assignment must bring glory to God in the end. There are some who don’t heed the call and suffer the consequences. The Most High will surely send another but every now and then much like Jonah, after wasting precious time you will still have to go. Yes we are given choices and even second chances, it’s just better to get it done the first time around so you don’t delay your blessings. I too ran for some time waiting for clarity and wanting to hear a voice of authority telling me exactly what to do and how to do it.

Eventually I surrendered and now my increase is finally pouring in. Although I’m grateful I pushed back years of my life due to slothfulness and disobedience. What I’m suggesting to you today is that even if you don’t have all the details I can assure you that there is always a starting place. Move your feet with faith and the instructions will come. Ask our Savior for the right path to travel while doing the work of the LORD and you will be lead. With love and joy in your heart bring the sheep in to the Shepard, people you don’t even know yet are waiting on you. Be blessed!

John Chapter 2:1-11 (Water into Wine)

And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.

Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Ezekiel Chapter 37

The Valley of Dry Bones

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.

stricklyscriptures777@gmai.com

Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.

12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

13 And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.

15 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,

16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:

17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.

18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?

19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.

21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.

23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.

27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

28 And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.

What is Anxiety?

Intense, excessive, and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Fast heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating, and feeling tired may occur. (Mayo Clinic)

When someone has an anxiety attack it is usually caused from an overwhelming spirit of fear. As believers we know that we should fear the LORD and any other fear does not come from Him. PTSD is real and is a condition associated or primarily originated by fear. Rather that fear being installed by a person, situation or even the future it is a barrier for some people to move forward in life. The enemy is crafty ad yet still a liar. We can’t allow fear, doubt, shame or guilt to rule over us. It is better to leave our burdens at the feet of our Creator.

If we practice repentance, forgiveness ad love we’ll keep the monkey off our backs. I know some of you will say that it’s easier said than done and it is. There are no perfect people and letting go of the things or humans that makes feel less than, trapped or defeated can seem intangible. As an empath we hate to leave someone behind that we assume can’t be helped. Such an issue to arise would cause one to have an anxiety attack. In the scriptures we are told to be anxious for nothing. This too sounds easier said than doe but it is a command never the less.

Family, at the end of the day the spirit of anxiousness is unholy and can cause one to feel like they’re dying when in fact it’s simply a scare tactic to cause you doubt in decision making. Pray without ceasing and repent daily knowing that your sins are forgiven so you won’t have to be afraid.

5 Fold Ministry

Many people don’t understand or have never heard of a 5 fold ministry but today I would like to break it down. The five fold gifts (operation) better known as the hand are Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, Apostle and Teacher. Our Messiah was a perfect example of someone working within a 5 fold ministry, he had all five qualities/gifts and characteristics .

stricklyscriptures777@gmail.com

Prophet: Accurately discern the things of God’s voice and heart mostly through dreams and visions (hearing).

Evangelist: Storytellers (parables) that spread the good news , breaking down the word and their lives are examples of the Messiah.

Pastor: Healers of broken hearts (minds) and spirits (souls). These people welcome the congregation/church to become family of the Kingdom of God.

Apostle: Wake up the people of the Most High to their gifts and talents, to receive who they are and how to help others.

Teacher: Shed light (truth and knowledge) teaching believers how to apply the word to real life situations through wisdom.
