As Pastor Hawthorne teaches on overcoming covetous practices, she has a video where she comes from Judges 19. Click Here to view. This is a series on spiritual warfare.

 Sometimes when we get our gifts or callings or get an encouraging prophetic word, it is so contradictory what is manifested in the natural realm and we want to question the Lord and ask if we really are called by you then why is this happening or that. Pastor Tiara Hawthorne encourages believers to keep fighting the good fight and in this video segment she is in Judges Chapter 6 where the Lord uses Gideon as a example.

Sometimes we can get so focused on ourselves and making sure we do this and that right and we don't realize that Christ is waiting there with His Holy Spirit to help and assist in every weak place. We often hear the we need to know who we are in Christ. However, what about when you do know who you are and you know who He is and recognize you're NOT a Jew but a gentile who Christ has show a ton of favor and mercy. Join Pastor in an encouraging word from the Lord as we continue with a series on women in warfare. Click Here 

​- A God Chaser

When you look around and you see all sorts of things transpiring, know that Jesus is the answer. Jesus is the answer to every problem, situation, and circumstance. When it seems like all hell has broken loose, Jesus is still the answer. He is still delivering lives. He is still healing souls. The enemy has been around for a very long time. He has studied our strengths and our weaknesses. He even knows what frustrates us and makes us angry, and what we absolutely cannot stand. The enemy has liers in wait and spies around every corner wanting to offer temporary relief and fixes. Do not put your problems at the feet of the enemy. Christ wants to be the one you trust completely. We do not have to settle for disability and handicaps. We don’t have to settle for sickness and depression. Everywhere you look, every other commercial, you see temporary relief for this and that. Nothing happens unless the Lord allows it to happen. Oftentimes, for learning lessons or faith building. Praise is the answer. Faith is the answer. Trust is the answer. You can search every weak place within yourself and let the Lord’s strength be perfected in it. Christ is still the author of signs, miracles, and wonders. However, those works follow the believer. So, no matter what spiritual height or valley depth that the enemy shows you (remember he tempted Jesus as well going up to heights), you must stand on your Most Holy faith, even if all you have is a mustard seed left…that’s all that’s required! Jesus is the only source of true joy and peace. There is nothing like the real thing. Watch…pray…wait on the Lord! To God be the glory.
Heb 12:1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us  lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

​Fear of the Lord
We must fear the Lord with a reverent fear. We must also respect those in authority over our lives even though we don’t understand some things. Christ wants the Glory in our lives. There is nothing a man can do or flesh can do to substitute what Christ has designed for His will. It is important also to recognize Christ when He is present even when the person He uses you may not particularly get along with. We wrestle not against flesh and blood. Sometimes it is easy to miss what the Lord is revealing because you’re looking at things the wrong way. You’re not always looking at the person/vessel but listening by the Holy Spirit comparing spiritual with spiritual. The Lord will use whoever and whatever He wills in order to get a point across whether it be for obedience, humility, or repentance. Don’t wind up missing the Lord because weren’t done your way. Nothing is done on our own power and our own authority when doing the will and purpose of Christ. So, sometimes we must humble ourselves and recognize the Lord in others or he may consider it that you are rejecting him the same way the pharisees and scribes did thousands of years ago. The Lord will show mercy to whom he will and compassion on whom he will.
 
Proverbs 14:26
In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

This is a word of encouragement as we continue our series on women of warfare and fear of the Lord.

​There is so much we see going on this world today and it all sums up to spiritual warfare. There is turmoil and mad chaos. Everywhere you turn you see that there is some type of stand or fight for some type of cause. There are civil rights activists in every avenue for this right or that right. They say this life matters and that life matters. What about the life of Christ?! Christ’s life matters and He thought that we mattered so much that He left His Heavenly abode and He showed his love for us by dying and rising again, leaving the gift of His Spirit to all who desired to receive Him. It matters that He chose his disciples and that he shaped and molded so many for our sakes. Jeremiah’s life matters. Ezekiel’s life matters. Moses life matters. The prophets’ lives that were shaped as an example to us, they mattered so that we would know how Christ desired for us to live so that we wouldn’t make the same mistakes. Is it fair that Jeremiah was told not to take a wife? Or that Ezekiel’s wife was taken as an example and the Lord told him not to even mourn? Moses got a glimpse of the promise but couldn’t go in. How many more examples do we need for us to recognize and fear the Lord our God? He is not playing. He is a jealous God and will not take half-heartedness, all or nothing is what He requires. That’s what he paid. You cannot serve two masters. When you look around you see many people that were not prepared in their day of visitation and the result is chaos because they left the hedge of protection. Yet many still refuse to surrender and call on the name of Jesus. There is a way that seems right to a man and the end is destruction. We must keep Christ as the head and surrender to His will completely in obedience with our whole heart or the nations will continue to crumble. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. We do not have to suffer in silence when Jesus paid the ransom with His blood. The price for healing has been paid. The price for deliverance has been paid. The price for every sin, iniquity, and infirmity has already been paid on the cross and don’t have to be balanced in any budget! Some people balance everything but Christ is not in the balance and what you get is a false balance, falsehood. When your day of visitation comes, will you be ready? Or will the Lord require your life?
Psalm 32:1-2
Blessed is He whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity and in whose Spirit is no guile.

​As we go forth with our plan for a new year, let us recognize that it is not business as usual. Think about the gifts and talents that the Lord has blessed you with. How can you use those talents to make those around us better and do that “greater work”? Let us not hide our talents in the earth, but be ever ready to give accountability when the Lord comes to you with a desire for His harvest in you. Remember there are several ways to get to a specified destination but it’s a straight and narrow way, meaning do not question how the Lord is doing the work, but as a faithful soldier trust that He is leading you to righteous expected end and He will not fail those being obedient to His will and purpose.
Philippians 2:3
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
