A Stone and a Slingshot

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.

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.

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.

Sing!

 PSALM 96 O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.

Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

10 Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

13 Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

He Whom Was Sent

For spiritual advice book a session by sending an email to stricklyscriptures777@gmail.com

The Son of the Most High God was sent to bare witness of His Father. He was also given to us to be an example and now a mediator. Our Messiah left behind the Holy Spirit as a comfort while we are under subjection from the things of this world. This place we live in was given to satan for a little while, meanwhile we are supposed to be living in love. Christ showed us how to live and if we live in love then we are following the laws of God automatically.

Our big brother better known as Jesus was given unto those that persecuted Him because they didn’t understand that He wasn’t trying to undo what was already done but He was actually walking it out how the Creator intended for us to live in and on purpose. He literally is the branch in which was offered for us to receive so that we may live eternally even after death. Christ came, lived,died and now until he comes again to divide the wheat from the tares he’s interceding for us. Being that satan is the accuser of me, you and our brothers/sisters, God’s Son is in Heaven standing between us and Him to lighten that blow (grace and mercy) that the enemy wants us to experience so we can be angry with God and go to eternal damnation with him when his time is up (which is very close now).

Who doesn’t want a pillow before they slip and fall? Although this is freely given by the Most High via our Messiah we have to agree to receive salvation. The comforter that He left behind (Holy Spirit), leads and guides us in everything we say, do and think…giving us discernment in making the right choices. This makes our Heavenly Father happy with us so that we can be in peace while enjoying the fruitful plain of life until this age is passed away. There is so much we have to endure as we unconsciously wait for the end but if we stay positive, always do our best and give God the glory then we’ve covered the basics.

I could go go on and on about how Christ benefits us and His purpose for coming into the world in human flesh but I’ll let you do some research on your own. Family, live in love and do what it is that the Almighty has placed on your heart to do. Be counted worthy and don’t vex others but do what our Deliverer, the Lion and the Lamb did and represent the Most High God to the best of your ability (giving the word to save souls, healing the sick, casting out unclean spirits, ect.). Shalom

Gratefulness

Appreciation

Thankfulness

Blessings

Increase

Are we supposed to only be thankful one day out of the year? What exactly are we being taught? What are we co-signing to? Are we supposed to lead or follow? Who and what are our examples? Seek out truth and find out the origins of what is celebrated. Are we brave enough to research on our own or do we feel more comfortable staying in what we learned in ignorance? Ask questions! Growth is in learning what the truth is and changing your life for the betterment of generations to come. Sometimes accountability isn’t favorable to the masses. The consequences of knowing what the truth of the matter may separate you from what you think life is. Your normal may be a lie to benefit a dishonest and greedy society or leadership. In enjoying the up and coming holidays remember to search your heart, the scriptures and the origins of what unites us, it just may be a disappointment. Fear not…God will not be mocked. I love you all with the love of Christ, examine the evidence.

Shalom

The Flesh vs. The Spirit

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 KJV

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

We have to be accountable for the decisions we make in life. These decisions can move us forward or set us back from our destiny. Relationships, careers, protection, provision, happiness, overcoming and even motivations we usually depend on the Most High for but if we are honest we can confess that we play a huge part in these things because of free will in having a choice in the matter. Having this kind of authority can help us or hurt us as people wanting and needing more in certain areas of our lives.

The tools for overcoming take bravery, being set apart takes boldness. Sometimes it’s not easy walking away from unhealthy, rebellious or dysfunctional bondages because the flesh wants what it wants. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. The enemy of your soul wants you to be devoured by addictions, insecurities, shame, fear, filth, struggle, jealousy, danger, rage and many other negative strong holds we should be rebuking from our lives.

It is imperative that we make great choices for our lives considering our spirit first because of where we want to end up for eternity. Rejoicing in health, increase, expansion, discernment, focus, love, peace, trust, forgiveness, obedience, ect. should be our goal. There is strength in courageous and positive decisions but the belief in a higher Power helps us to keep in mind that we are imperfect people seeking perfection to direct us to a place of complete rest. Remember family…spirit first and then body because in any other order there will most likely be chaos and regret.

Patience is a Virtue

I have made some mistakes in life, both short and long lasting but I believe that those that counted as sins are indeed forgiven. No, I didn’t believe that overnight because it took time. There are many things in life that we have to have patience for. Matters such as relationships, children, education and even faith. Unlike less time consuming subjects these things allow us to grow successfully and responsibly. Keeping a cool head and waiting out the cons of life will benefit not only you but also the people tied to you. I look at life as a domino effect, a plant or a tree even.

If I fail at something then the people attached to me or my work will be affected also. However, if I win then we all will be victorious in that circumstance. We share our lives rather we want to or not. Patience will open the door for increase, peace, love and also happiness for most cases. I often hear about the story of Noah, building a ark for an ungrateful generation that didn’t believe in his work or his word to help save their own lives (as he being used by God). With that being said…don’t give up, don’t give in, just wait it out and see the salvation of the Lord!

Hearing the Voice of God

Many us as the hearers and doers of God are used to Him speaking to our spirits or minds/hearts but there are many of the LORD’s children who believe that His voice will be audible. Instead of listening to that small still voice (better known as discernment of the Holy Spirit) it’s ignored because we are looking for something more. Hearing the voice of Yah is simple and peaceful, yet if we lean to our own understanding and do not allow Him to order our steps it will lead to confusion and chaos. Not taking heed to the Holy Spirit will give the enemy power that is dangerous to our very life/soul.

I have been able to give spiritual advice concerning this subject to many of the saints by suggesting to just be still. When we don’t know what to do it is better to do nothing and wait which can save us a lot of heartache and headaches. Although I can give this advice now, there was once a time when I was not as sensitive in my spirit enough to hear from our Father just as many of our brothers and sisters suffer with today. Meditating on the word of Yah, praising, praying and even fasting can help us “hear” from God. Going to church and congregating just isn’t enough in these last days, we simply need MORE!

John 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

Take time for yourself, read the word for yourself, ask/believe/receive and hear what the Most High is saying in this time of separation and preparation of His beloved children Israel. He is speaking to your heart today but it is up to you to stop, repent and listen to what His set-apart Spirit is saying because it may save you from being drowned with the cares of this world and set you free for the world/age to come. Until the next blog entry…be increased and consider where you are and where you are going.
