SPIRITUAL BATTLE

 There is a spiritual battle going on around you; good vs evil. This battle cannot be fought like you would fight a physical fight; but it must be fought in the spirit. )

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12 So put on the whole armour of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of satan. Ephesians 6:11 How foolish would it be if we only had on a helmet in a real war? That would be real foolish; however that is what many of us do when it comes to this spiritual battle that we are in. The helmet in the Spirit; would be to have on the HELMET OF SALVATION. Many times we have that on; but that is it. That is not all the gear that God told us to put on; or to utilize, but he said put on the whole armour. If you are saved and are not exercising the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS which is (walking worthy of this precious high call) or maybe we are not using the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT which is the word of God (which means being a hearer of the word of God and also a doer) or maybe we are not using your FAITH AS A SHIELD to quench the fiery darts of satan; or not tightening up your waist with the BELT OF TRUTH by letting truth reign BIG in your life and maybe we are not SHODING YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL (we need to always be ready to carry the good news of the gospel to any and everyone that we meet) ; if you are not doing all these things to the best of the ability of the Holy Spirit as God has instructed us to do; then it is going to be hard for us to go onto the battle field and not get wounded or worse; killed. Many of us are physically living, but are dying a spiritual death due to the lack of application of this word. Lord help! Let us be encouraged to stand and fight the good fight, finish the race and keep the faith. 2 Tim. 4:7

To read about putting on the whole armour of God read: Ephesians 6:10-18 for your convenience I'll post it in the comment section below. GBU

OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW

You can't put new wine in old wine skins; out with the old and in with the new. When God wants to do a new thing; he's not going to do it the same way as he did the old. We've got to change with God. Yes he is doing a new thing, but yet still he is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So how can God be doing a new thing if he is the same yesterday, today, and forever? Because his faithfulness and his character of love; that remains the same, but as far as for you; he wants to do something new, different; and something special for you. Sometimes we limit God because we don't want to let go of the old. Old things, old mindsets, old circle of people who aren't adding to our lives. In order for us to get better we have got to do better. We have to change, change Godward. Grow and move on to perfection. When God give you a new thing; sometimes it is through difficulties that they come. So many of times we want something, but don't want to go through what is necessary to get the new wine, that new lever or new anointing. Even if you did manage to get the new by avoiding the process still you wouldn't have what it takes to keep it. So keep in mind when you are going through something hard; then that is called the process, and when it looks like you are losing somethings you are really gaining room for what God is about to give you. Not everything can go with you forward into the destiny that God has for you. In the bible, a camel had to dismantle everything on his back and bow down on all fours just to go through a secret door on the wall; called the eye of the needle. This door was hidden in such a way that the enemy could not come in and over turn the city. Even if they did the wall was so small that they would have to dismantle to get thru it. God is trying to dismantle the enemy who wants to get into your camp and invade your destiny. If he could go forward with you; it's like the enemy would be in your camp. You better let go of the old! Anything that is against your purpose. Not everyone, anything, any wrong mindsets or attitudes should be able to go through the wall of your destiny. If they did; they would cross over with you and open up the portal or gateway to the army of enemies that are waiting to attack and overthrough your city of purpose. You must realize how the enemy works. He will attach things and people to you that he knows you will like or even love all just to stop the plan of God for your life. So it is up to you to be vigilant with the help of the Holy Spirit, and watch! So time to make the shift into the deep! Time to let go of the old and embrace the new. New wine anyone?

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Unfortunately the Post on abuse has hit a home run for a lot of people. They thought they were walking in love; but was being a victim of abuse. The devil don't want you to talk about this kind of stuff; because it breaks up his foundation; but when truth about anything is revealed and we speak up for ourselves and for others who haven't found their voices yet; then victory is apparent for a whole lot of people who have been bound or suffering in silence perhaps for many y...ears. I salute you all for coming forward whether in silence or in public; because facing the truth is the first step and it will free you and many others. To those of you who haven't come to grips with this thing yet; ask God to show you what it really is; not what you wish it to be. GOD HAS NOT SENTENCED YOU TO A LIFE OF ABUSE. (from the world maybe; but not from your own flesh or the one you're intending on marrying.) It is not even logical for a person to harm his/her own body; so when a person insist on incessant abuse; that is what they are doing. Harming the one that God sent them to be one with. You are healed to be whole and to shine; not to be broken and wounded by another.
(MANY ARE BLESSED TO BE FREED FROM THIS; BUT IT IS STILL OUR FOCUS TO BRING ATTENTION TO IT FOR OTHERS WHO MAY STILL RESIDE IN THIS KIND OF ORDEAL. WHAT'S WORSE WHO WOULD KNOW ABOUT THEIR STRUGGLE? BECAUSE IT IS A SILENT KILLER.) Jesus came to set the captive free. This is a subject that is not spoken of due to shame; so many stay bond to situations like this. BUT THE DEVIL IS A LIAR. WE SEE YOU AND WE ARE HERE FOR YOU IN PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION THAT YOU SEE THE LIGHT AND BECOME FREE AS GOD INTENDED YOU TO LIVE. HE WHOM THE SON HAS SET FREE IS FREE INDEED; BUT MANY TIMES PEOPLE LITERALLY PERISH BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE LIKE THIS! SO WE SPREAD THE KNOWLEDGE SO MANY WON'T HAVE TO PERISH DUE TO THE LACK THEREOF.

TRANSPERENCY ABOUT ABUSE

  When I called off my engagement publicly a little over a year ago it just took a little nudge from a wonderful sister at church to see that I wasn't sure. She shared with me the emotional abusive she had suffered in her marriage. She spoke to me candidly about how the money was great, but how her husband was so abusive. She told me, 'Katherine, I know you are looking at your age and you wanna be married, but wait if you are not sure.' Everything that she stated I had been experiencing and more. He and I had both attended a meeting together and the prophetess of the house told me what this man (my fiancé) was doing to me was witchcraft. She didn't stutter or hesitate! He had become abusively angry that night because God had confirmed his abuse. Randomly, I would get prophecies that there was someone connected to me that would harm me. One prophecy was: "There is a devil with a pitchfork connected to you, and God will show you who it is." Also another, was clear as a bell,' He said, the relationship that you just ended; God said it was a mistake...." I knew the many signs of an abusive partner, but I just stayed in hopes that my words of encouragement and many prayers would help, but they didn't. It only got worse. Especially, when I would seek the Lord through consecration and fasting. He would throw things when he was angry, send me grewsome bloody pictures, arguments and tantrums of control would be done like clock work to control the relationship. He would speak harshly to me at times, but then he would later layer on thick, the I love yous and abundance of monetary gifts. It's almost like he got a kick out of the make up break up phase. It's like it gave him a rush; all while crushing my spirit. Through our courtship of 2 1/2 years I found out things about his true character that he kept hide from me. One, he had been released from the military for multiple personality disorders. Two, that he'd attempted the act of suicide before. Once he stated that he loved me so much that if he did take my life for some reason, then at least he still could still repent and go to heaven. I encouraged him to go to counseling, real professional counseling. So he did; the first counselor told him within 30 minutes that he wasn't marriage material. (She had been married 35 yrs.) So he got mad as usual when he didn't like something, so he left and went to another therapist. Within a few sessions after she had seen the bloody photo that he had sent me, she told him, " oh my God, this is worse than I thought it was." They put him on medications but he refused to take them. He never went back to her again either. Later, I found out a plethora of things that he wouldn't share with me. These are only a few: he had been deep into porn still, masturbation still, anal sex and orgies. He asked me if I'd be interested in these practices once married. Wow, of course this was a great conflict of interest since I love God with all my heart soul and mind; and I want a pure and wholesome lifestyle.

How To Recognize An Abusive Relationship

AN ABUSIVE RELTIONSHIP IS BETTER THAN NONE AT ALL.......NOT!!!! BUT MANY PEOPLE ENDURE ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS IN SILENCE OR PERHAPS THEY JUST DONT KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. (I will post the signs of an abusive relationship soon so keep watching.) If it's not for you maybe for someone you know. I've been there and have the tee shirt to prove it. No one needs to suffer in silence. Get help; or talk to someone. But most importantly if you are being abused physically, emotionally or mentally get out and get to safety! You are not alone!!!
