​Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Mercy and grace be unto you in such a time as this. There is a scripture which the writer penned that states, “The zeal of thine house has eaten me up!” I am finding those words to be applicable to our current situation. However, while there is a zealous motivation to pour the word of God, it is also very needful for me to place myself at the feet of my savior. There is always a work to be done...a song to be sung...yet deep calleth unto deep and my Lord is there. Thank God for the invitation to come boldly to the throne of grace. While it seems often needful to pour a revelation of the word of God, my spirit man laments from the lack of desire from those who are called by the name of the Lord to truly “sup’ with Him while praying. God is a jealous God. There are those desiring a word with “itching ears” wanting to “know” what is going on without true surrender to do the will and purpose of Christ. I boldly and courageously ask the question, “when will it be the Lord’s turn to eat? That is what is means to “sup” We call Him to the table and yet He is not getting an opportunity to eat. In such a fellowship, I was under the impression that even the servants had the opportunity to sit and partake just as well, The Lord pours his righteousness upon us daily. We partake of the gifts of the spirit and the fruits thereof. Will anyone minister unto the Lord? Will anyone sit at His feet to praise, worship, and encourage? He has said that the servant is not greater than his master. Master has come in the form of your servant. The master and servant are one, even as the Father and the son are one. What shall we render unto the Lord for all that he has done unto the children of men? I will praise him in the midst of my circumstance. I will bless the name of the Lord. I will seek that I may dwell in the house of the Lord and I will give the Lord the glory due to His righteous name.


Psalm 116:12
What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?

​REVELATION 21:5-8

AND HE THAT SAT UPON THE  THRONE SAID, BEHOLD, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW. AND HE SAID UNTO ME, WWRITE: FOR THESE WORDS ARE FAITHFUL AND TRUE.
AND HE SAID UNTO ME; IT IS DONE. I AM ALPHA  AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END. I GIVE UNTO HIM THAT IS ATHIRST OF THE FOUNTAIN OF THE WATER OF LIFE FREELY.
HE THAT OVERCOMETH SHALL INHERIT ALL THINGS; AND I WILL BE HIS GOD, AND HE SHALL BE MY SON.
BUT THE FEARFUL, AND UNBELIEVING, AND THE ABOMINABLE, AND MURDERERS; AND WHOREMONGERS, AND SORCERERS, AND IDOLATERS, AND ALL LIARS, SHALL HAVE THEIR PART INTHE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BROMSTONE; WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH.
JESUS CHRIST MUST BE OUR SOURCE. HE SHOULD BE THE SOURCE OF LIFE WHICH IS WHAT HE REVEALS WHEN HE SAYS THAT IT IS DONE. THE WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON THE CROSS TO PROVIDE THEM WHO DESIRE OF THE FONTAIN OF LIFE THE ABILITY TO DRINK FREELY. ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN. THIRST FOR HOLINESS. THIRST FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. THRIST FOR HIS SPIRIT AND YOU SHALL BE FILLED.
ISAIAH 55:1-7
HO, EVERY ONE THAT THIRSTETH, COME YE TO THE WATERS, AND HE THAT HATH NO MONEY; COME YE,BUY, AND EAT; YEA COME, BUY WINE AND MILK WITHOUT MONEY AND WITHOUT PRICE.
WHEREFORE DO YE SPEND MONEY FOR THAT WHICH IS NOT BREAD? AND YOU LABOUR FOR THAT WHICH SATISFIETH NOT? HEARKEN DILIGENTLY UNTO ME, AND EAT YE THAT WHICH IS GOOD, AND LET YOUR SOUL DELIGHT ITSELF IN FATNESS.
INCLINE YOUR EAR, AND COME UNTO ME: HEAR, AND YOUR SOUL SHALL LIVE; AND I WILL MAKE AN EVERLASTING COVENANT WITH YOU EVEN THE SURE MERCIES OF DAVID.
BEHOLD, I HAVE GIVEN HIM FOR A WITNESS TO THE PEOPLE, A LEADER AND COMMANDER TO THE PEOPLE.
BEHOLD THOU SHALT CALL A NATION THAT THOU KNEWEST NOT, AND NATIONS THAT KNEW NOT THEE SHALL RUN UNTO THEE BECAUSE OF THE LORD THY GOD, AND FOR THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL; FOR HE HATH GLORIFIED THEE.
SEEK YE THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND, CALL YE UPON HIM WHILE HE IS NEAR.
LET THE WICKED FORSAKE HIS WAY, AND THE UNRIGHTEOUS MAN HIS THOUGHTS: AND LET HIM RETURN UNTO THE LORD, AND HE WILL ABUNDANTLY PARDON.

 JESUS WANTS TO BE THE ONE YOU COME RUNNING TO IN THE TIME OF TROUBLE. HE WANTS TO BE YOUR GUIDE. HE WANTS TO BE THE DOCTOR AND LAWYER IN YOUR LIFE. HE WANTS TO BE YOUR COUNSELOR. HE IS YOUR DELIVERER. HE IS YOUR WAY MAKER. HE IS THE BRIDGE. BE IS THE ROCK. HE IS THE FORTRESS. HE IS YOUR REFUGE. THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN TAKE HIS PLACE IN YOUR LIFE. AND WHEN THERE IS NO ONE THERE, THEN SURELY HE HAS MADE THE PATH STRAIGHT AND CLEARED A WAY FOR HIM TO REIGN AS KING AND GLORIFY HIMSELF IN YOU. TO HIS CHILDREN HE SAYS COME. TO HIS CHOSEN HE SAYS COME. TO THE FAITHFUL HE SAYS COME. THOSE WHO NEED A HEALER HE SAYS COME. THOSE WHO NEED A DELIVERER HE SAYS COME. THOSE WHO NEED A PROVIDER HE SAYS COME. SURRENDER UNTO ME AND I WILL DO A WORK…A NEW THING IN YOU.

WHAT IS THAT SOUND? DANIEL 3:4-7

THEN THE PRINCES, THE GOVERNORS, AND CAPTAINS, THE JUDGES, THE TREASURERS, THE COUNSELORS, THE SHERIFFS, AND ALL THE RULERS OF THE PROVINCES, WERE GATHERED TOGETHER INTO THE DEDICATION  OF THE IMAGE THAT NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING HAD SET UP.
THEN A HERALD CRIED ALOUD TO YOU IT IS COMMANDED, A PEOPLE, NATIONS, AND LANGUAGES,
THAT AT WHAT TIME YE HEAR THE SOUND OF THE CORNET, FLUTE, HARP, SACKBUT,PSALTERY, DULCIMER, AND ALL KINDS OF MUSIC, YE FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP THE GOLDEN IMAGE THAT NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD SET UP.

 THERE IS A SOUND OF HOLINESS. THERE IS A SOUND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. THERE IS A RHYTHM THAT ACCOMPANIES THE SOUND OF HOLINESS. THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD HAS ATRUE SOUND OF HOLY WORSHIP WITHIN HIS SPIRIT THAT CANNOT BE FEIGNED. HE INHABIT’S THE PRAISES OF HIS PEOPLE WHICH ARE TRUE WORSHIPPERS AND SEEKETH SUCH TO WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.

THE WORD SPEAKS THAT EXPRESSLY THAT IN THE LAST DAYS THERE WILL BE PERILOUS TIMES AND THAT THE END SHALL NOT COME UNTIL THERE BE A FALLING AWAY. TAKE HEED THAT YOU NOT GIVE IN TO SEDUCING SPIRITS AND DOCTRINES OF DEMONS. THESE SEDUCING SPIRITS ARE IN THE MUSIC. BEWARE OF CERTAIN TYPES OF MUSIC IN THE FORM OF WORSHIP BUT IS REALLY COUNTERFEIT AND FILLED WITH SENSUAL AND DEMONIC TO STEER YOU AWAY FROM THE FAITH AND HAVE YOU FALL. REMEMBER TO SEDUCE IS A FORM OF DECEPTION WHICH IS TO GET YOU TO DO SOMETHING YOU WOULDN’T UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES DO. THE ENEMY IS VERY CRAFTY. TAKE HEED THOSE WHO THINK THEY STAND.

WORSHIP AND MUSIC HAS BEEN ORDAINED BEFORE THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE WORLDS. THERE IS POWER IN MUSIC AND THERE ARE SPIRITS WITHIN MUSIC. THE LORD REVEALS THESE THINGS IN THE PROPHETIC BOOK OF DANIEL AND SHOWS THAT NOT ONLY IS THERE STRENTH IN UNITY BUT THE PEOPLE CAME TOGETHER IN A FLESHLY UNITY THAT WAS CONTRARY TO THE WORD OF GOD AND UTILIZED ALL SORTS OF INSTRUMENTS THE MAKE MUSIC OF FALSEHOOD AND IDOLATRY. THE MUSIC PORTRAYED WITHIN THESE SCRIPTED TEMPTED THE LORD TO WRATH TOWARD THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

THE PEOPLE WERE ALREADY LED INTO CAPTIVITY TO BE CHASTENED AND JUDGED BY GOD FOR THEIR DISOBEDIENCE AND IDAOLATRY. SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO WEREN’T THE ONLY JEWS THAT HAD THEIR FAITH TESTED DURING THIS TIME CONCERNING WORSHIP. THE LORD WANTS TRUE HEARTS OF SURRENDER. HE CHASTENS THOSE HE LOVES TO BRING THEM TO A PLACE OF RESTORATION.

THE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN AUTHORITY AT THE TIME CAME TOGETHER AND THE LORD ALLOWED THEM TO TRY HIS CHOSEN AND THEY THREATENED THEM WITH A BURNING FIERY FURNACE FOR THOSE WHO DID NOT WORSHIP THE IDOL. MEANING THAT THIS WAS A REPLICA OF HELL. THOUGH, JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY CONSUMING FIRE. DON’T ALLOW THE ADVERSARY TO CHASTEN YOU AND PUT GOD’S NAME ON IT. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE BEING TRIED BY FIRE IN HOPES THAT THEY WILL TAKE DOWN AND GIVE IN TO THE ADVERSARY. FALSE HUMILTY AND WORSHIP IS ONLY ONE OF THOSE WAYS. 
MANY CHRISTIANS AND SAINTS OF GOD ARE BEING PERSECUTED FOR THEIR TRUE BELIEF IN THE LORD JESUS. ONCE THE REVELATION IS GIVEN BE SURE THAT YOU’RE NOT JUST A HEARER BUT A DOER ALSO. WE MUST APPLY THE WORD OF GOD TO OUR LIVES. THE ADVERSARY IS VERY CRAFTY. WE KNOW HE DOESN’T ATTEMPT TO COME THROUGH THE FRONT ON BACK DOOR. HE COMES OFTENTIMES AS A WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING. BY MEANS OF FALSE BRETHREN. THEY COME LIKE THEY ARE ON YOUR SIDE BUT WANT YOU TO FEEL GUILTY FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. THEY WANT YOU TO BE INTIMIDATED AND FEAR AND PRESENT IT IN A WAY THAT IF YOU DON’T DO SOMETHING A CERTAIN WAY THEN YOU HAVE HELL TO PAY. THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION IN CHRIST. JESUS LOVES YOU. HE WILL NOT FORCE YOU TO LOVE HIM. HE WILL NOT FORCE YOU TO PRAISE HIM. THE LORD IS A GENTLEMAN. THE CHURCH IS HIS BRIDE. HE WILL NOT BULLY HIS CHOSEN. HE WILL LEAD AND GUIDE HIS CHILDREN BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT IN THE PATH OF RGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS. HE WILL GUIDE YOU TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES THAT PLEASE HIM. KNOW THAT THERE IS A FORCE BEHIND EVERY GOING THHROUGH. HOWEVER, THE LORD IS WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. REMEMBER, NOTHING IS DONE UNLESS HE ALLOWED IT. LO, I AM  WITH YOU ALWAYS EVEN UNTIL THE END SAYS THE LORD. CHOOSE HIM NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCE AND NO MATTER THE SITUATION. CALL ON THE LORD. SEEK HIM AND PRAY. WAIT ON THE ANSWER AND HE WILL SHOW UP IN THE MIDST WITH A STRETCHED OUT ARM. IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD? HE WILL NOT PUT ANYMORE ON US THAN WE CAN BEAR. TRUST IN THE LORD AND LEAN NOT TOWARD YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. WAIT PATIENTLY ON THE LORD. 

​WATCH AND PRAY

NEHEMIAH 4:9

NEVERTHELESS WE MADE OUR PRAYER UNTO OUR GOD, AND SET WATCH AGAINST THEM DAY AND NIGHT, BECAUSE OF THEM.

JEREMIAH 20:10
FOR I HAVE HEARD THE DEFAMING OF MANY, FEAR ON EVERY SIDE. REPORT , SAY THEY, AND WE WILL REPORT IT. ALL MY FAMILIARS WATCHED FOR MY HALTING, SAYING, PERADVENTURE HE WILL BE ENTICED, AND WE SHALL PREVAIL AGAINST HIM, ANS WE SHALL TAKE OUR REVENGE ON HIM.

CONTINUE TO WATCH AND PRAY, NIGHT AND DAY. FOR THE ENEMY IS RELENTLESS AND PATIENTLY WAITING FOR AN ENTRANCE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR ENTICEMENT AND REVENGE. THE LORD IS WATCHING OVER YOU AND HAS SET LIERS IN WAIT ON YOUR BEHALF. CONTINUE TO BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE. YOU SHALL REAP IF YOU FAINT NOT. HOLD ON TO GOD’S UNCHANGING HAND. HE IS THERE WITH YOU.

​FRIENDLY FIRE

One of the toughest things I had to learn to do in my walk with Jesus was to yield to discernment and go with what revelation was given based on that discernment. I love the Word of God and I love to teach others. Because of the passionate pursuit after God’s sown heart sometimes I pushed a little past boundaries (ok a lot past boundaries) because of that love. Its one thing to have discernment. Its another to be obedient to His instructions.
Many of my issues regarding friendly fire was my failure to see what was right in front of me. My actions reflected tha tI wanted my enemies to be my friend. It can be kind of confusing when you think about it. Love can be blinding sometimes, especially when its pure. Love covers a multitude of sins. There were times where the writing was on the wall. The Lord showed me a person’s intentions  were not so good toward me. They didn’t have my best interest at heart. However, as a Pastor I looked at it as a project. I would tell myself, “they just need some mercy. They need someone to till the ground of their heart.” I would  see the need for Jesus and run straight toward the fire. In the meantime, discernment said, “maintain a distance. Plant some seeds and leave it there. You’re going to get yourself hurt. Guard your heart.” That’s what discernment said often. After being broken and beaten so many times and crying out to the Lord to put pieces of my heart back together, I learned the fear of the Lord and the ability to be more humble than I was. I couldn’t do my own will. I was not their savior, Jesus was. In the process of humility I learned to decrease, pray, and ask the right questions. I asked, “Do they belong to you Lord? What would you have me to do in this situation? Is this situation for your glory or for the operations of your Spirit?” I had to receive the reve;ation that there are tare amongst the wheat. We cannot look on the outward appearance. Jesus searches the reigns of the heart. There are good trees and good fruits just as well as there are bad trees not yielding any fruit. You cannot change the tree without a miracle.
It really takes true surrender and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit to hear what the Spirit is saying and allowing wisdom to apply righteous judgment to a situation. You take yourself down a notch in the purest of love in faith to say that you’re simply here as a servant of the Most High and lo, it is written in the volume of the book to do thy will O’ Lord. When you condescend to the lowly estate such as that, you eliminate a lot of what seems to be friendly fire because with effective communication with the Lord , He tells you who belongs to Him and who are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Just ask and it shall be given. It saves you from several unnecessary wounds on the battlefield.

Psalm 55:12-13

IT WAS NOT MY ENEMY THAT REPROACHED ME; THEN I COULD HAVE BORNE IT: NEITHER WAS IT HE THAT HATED ME THAT DID MAGNIFY HIMSELF AGAINST ME; THEN I WOULD HAVE HID MYSELF FROM HIM:
BUT IT WAS THOU, A MAN OF MINE EQUAL, MY GUIDE AND MINE AQUAINTANCE.

  An Excellent Spirit Was Found…

Daniel 6:3-5

Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found I him. Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.

Daniel, the servant of God, had found favor with God and with man because there was an excellent spirit within him. Therefore, the king wanted to enlarge his territory. Because the Lord was elevating his faithful servant the people, who were subject to his authority, sought to find fault with him concerning the kingdom and couldn’t because Daniel walked by faith and made the Word of God his righteousness. Therefore, because Daniel saturated himself with the Word and law of the Most High his adversaries conspired to find fault concerning his God. Because he had no fault the enemies then conspired to create a snare or trap where he had to make a choice to obey the law of man or choose the obedience to the law of the Most High. Everything was fine when both sets of laws were parallel, but because they were without the law of God and the Lord wanted to judge them the Lord allowed them to create a law where one would have to choose to stand on the foundation of faith, so that the glory of God could make manifestation in the situation for His name sake.

Sometimes the saints and holy ones of the Most High God are faced with similar circumstances. There is nothing they have done wrong, but the adversary doesn’t find rest until he has done mischief and that includes making war and wearying the saints of God. The spirit in them wants to find fault even where there is none. So if they can look at your life and cannot find fault concerning worldly rudiments then they seek to find it concerning your faith. This is the daily warfare and the patience of the saints of God as they overcome and endure. The adversary will bring up things you love and your weaknesses to find fault. Bringing up past sins and shortcomings and playing on your desire to please the Lord and overcome the lusts of the flesh. However, the just shall live by faith though a holy life is no longer what’s popular.

1 John 3:12
Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.

So we can see that folks intend to find fault or make traps for the faithful saints because their own works are evil and cannot please the Lord.

Acts 4:19-21

But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.

We must remain faithful and contend for the faith. Love the Lord thy God with all thine heart and lean not to our own understanding. Surely though the heaven and earth shall fade away the Word of the Most High shall remain. He is the author and finisher of our faith and will perform His will. Do not give the adversary reason to find fault, but trust in the Lord and do good. Let your light shine that they will see your good works and your Father will be glorified in heaven. Remember, they don’t want you to pray. They don’t want you to operate by the Holy Spirit. They don’t want you to walk in the fruits of the spirit of love. They don’t want to see you praising the name of Jesus. They don’t want the Lord to enlarge your territory. They don’t want you to walk in the spirit of excellence.

So they attempted to create a law in the form of a trap in the form of a decree. This law wasn’t according to the Chaldeans, but according to the laws of the adversaries of the children of Israel. The laws of the Medes and Persians which altered not.

There is no proclamation or decree that can be established or come forth without the Lord allowing such a thing. Yet, the heavenly laws and the law of God is above every law and every decree.

Daniel 6: 26-27

I make a decree, that in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for He is the living God, and steadfast for ever, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. He delivereth and rescueth, and He worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivereth Daniel from the power of the lions.       

QUESTION: ARE ALL DREAMS/VISIONS FROM GOD?

DREAMS AND VISIONS ARE METHODS OF COMMUNICATION USED BY THE LORD TO SPEAK TO HIS CHILDREN.

JOEL 2:28

AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS AFTERWARD, THAT I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH; AND YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS, YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS.

IT IS NOT ALWAYS CONVENIENT TO DELIVER A MESSAGE BY A PERSON IN THE N ATURAL REALM NO MATTER THE REASON. SO THE LORD WILL MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN IN A DREAM OR A VISION.

HOWEVER, JUST AS THE LORD USES THIS FORM OF COMMUNICATION, THE ENEMY UTILIZES THIS METHOD AS WELL TO MOCK AND CREATE CONFUSION AMONG THOSE HE CAN.

IN DANIEL 10:1  THIS SAYING IS CONFIRMED WITH, :A THING WAS REVEALED UNTO DANIEL…AND THE THING WAS TRUE.”THIS WAS NECESSARY TO SAY THAT THE THING WAS TRUE BECAUSE THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THINGS REVEALED CAN ALSO BE FALSE.

REMEMBER, THE THINGS THAT BE OF GOD ARE EDIFYING, AND THEY BUILD YOU UP. THEY SUPPORT AND PROMOTE SPIRITUAL GROWTH. THEY WILL NOT CREATE INSECURITY, FEAR, DOUBT, DIVISION, OR SEPARATION. THEY WILL NOT HAVE YOU TURN OFF A PATH THAT YOU WERE SO SURE WAS RIGHT.

REMEMBER, CHRIST WILL NOT COMMUNICATE THINGS THAT DESTROY YOUR HOPE OR JOY.

 Hebrews 12:3-4


For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.


To the remainder of saints who have chosen Christ as their Savior and continue to stand boldly in their most holy faith. I thank God, my God for the privilege to serve with you in battle.


There have been some great battles to go through and overcome as we have been fellow partakers enduring this season of judgment among the house hold of faith. The accounts of our predecessors, our forefathers, the holy prophets and apostles have paved the narrow path for us concerning spiritual persecution. Though there is no way to effectively put in words the things that the men and women and the saints of God are going through. It is safe to say that the persecution that they warned of is real and very prominent among the true and faithful servants of the Most High who refuse to take down for sin and the abominable things. Though we are in a country that once had been established on the foundation of Jesus Christ and the glory of His righteousness, the enemy has utilized fear, intimidation, and seducing spirits to lead many of the chosen of God to slaughter and to surrender their authority. The persecution has not come in ways in which many recognize with the natural eye, yet we compare the spiritual with the spiritual. The persecution has come through the workplaces and in the pubic schools. Health care workers pushed into corners facing intimidation to do ungodly things to people including children and babies. Folks have been told to not come to work until they eliminate the Holy Spirit from their lives. Spiritually, many are being tested and tried by fire; In whatever way the adversary can think to challenge the true saints of God. Meanwhile, leadership and the godly heads are relinquishing their authority to put wickedness and abominable things in positions where Jesus Christ is suppose to be reigning. They do it freely without even seeking for the counsel of the Most High. However, to the children of the Most High who haven’t given themselves to the enemy, the Lord says seek after His spirit to lead and guide you. Seek Him with praise, with worship, with joy and hymns that will keep you through these times. Hold dear the truth and confidence of His Holy Word. Watch and pray to stay within His hedge of protection. For even today many of us have not resisted sin unto the shedding of blood because of His Spirit and His tender mercies and loving kindness. These trials are small considering the sufferings of our predecessors. They were beaten, they were stoned, some were boiled, and encountered all manner of evil for His name’s sake. Stay the course, finish the race for those who endure to the end shall be saved.

Jude 20-25

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
And for some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

​PROTECT AND DEFEND

We must stand in the positions wherein we were called and protect and defend our promises in Christ. We are not waging war. There’s no condemnation in Christ and without 
Christ one is condemned already. So why wage war on someone who is already condemned. Many of our enemies are on a battlefield all by themselves. We are not there. They fight against us naturally. We fight our battles spiritually.

2 Corinthians 10:3-4
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty to the pulling down of strongholds;

The war has already been waged against us merely because we are children of the Most High. We must protect and defend…our children…our sisters…our brothers…our mothers…our fathers…our faith…our relationship…our home on high. #PickUpYourWeaponsandFight

​HOW LONG O’ LORD?

REVELATION 6:10

And they cried with a loud voice , saying , how long, O Lord, Holy and True, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

II Corinthians 10:6

And having a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when  your obedience is fulfilled.

Many cry out, “how long, O’ Lord”, desiring for the Lord to avenge them because of their enemies. This warfare is long and the enemy desires to wear out the saints. At the time appointed our enemies will be moved out of the way and will not be able to block and hinder your ability to do the will and purpose of  Christ. We continue to rejoice that our names are written in the book of life. Endure hardness as a good soldier knowing that the Lord has a readiness to handle all those that trouble us when our obedience is fulfilled.
