Having a Spiritual battle? You are not alone in the fight.



We are not to be overcome by evil. We are to over come evil with good. Romans 12:21. When you make the choice and fight the good fight of faith God takes care of the battle with the opposing forces of evil. 2 Ch 20:15. He is on our side. And He never loses a battle. Romans 8:31. God is a wall of fire around us to secure us. To terrify and destroy our enemies. He is a consuming fire which destroys evil. Zek 2:5; Psalm 125:2; Hebrews 12:29

Those that are for us are more than those that are against us. All heaven is on our side. 2 Kings 6:15. If we are on heavens side we cannot lose. We are not just looking for a safe haven when our life here on earth is over. We are instruments endued with divine power which enable us to do our part in bringing about the completion of God's divine plan. Luke 24:49; 2:14; Romans 8:26. Instruments of faith who give glory to the Messiah. By being strong in the grace which is in Him. We are strong in him and the power of His might. His strength is shown to be perfect even in our weakness. It is not about us, but about Him. He is the victor that cannot be overcome. And we who by faith take Him at His word and act on His grace cannot be overcome in Him. We are winners over the battle of sin, satan and the world, by our faith in Christ who overcame them all. We tread down our enemies in battle by our fight of faith, which releases all the forces of Heaven to come to our rescue. We fight against our enemies inwardly and outwardly by faith in the One who has gone before us and won the victory. If God is for us who can be against us and win. Zec10:5; Romans 8:3.

We are called to contend for the truth of the gospel against all adversaries. Even the gnawings and temptations of our flesh. It is in fleeing from evil and pursuing righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and gentleness that we take our place in the economy of heaven. Even while we are here on earth. The one that corrects the things in their live that oppose God, and rules their own spirit will be triumphant over evil. 1 Timothy 6:11-12: James 4:7

The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; raises those who are bowed down; loves the righteous and watches over strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow; but he turns the way of the wicked upside down. Psalm 146:8-10.

May His grace fill your life, His presence be always close by you and His glory light your way.

I have a new blog up. Hope you read it and are blessed.

:-) thanks! The wedding date is september 7th.

You are very welcome! :-) I've been pretty busy too... my wedding is in 2 and a half months, so most of my extra time has been spent making wedding plans.

Hey, how's it going? Hope you are blessed today!

Jesus feeds the five thousand.- Taking the five loaves and the two fishes and looking up to heaven, He gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to set before the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. (Luke 9:16-17). In the name of Jesus, you shall eat ,be satisfy and have left over. Go in peace. Amen.

Good morning
How are you this morning? I pray you have awakened with the assurance of the Father's love shining down on you this morning.

Have a wonderful day walking with Him.

Shalom and blessings,

Hello!!! How are you today? Are you hungry for more success in your walk with Jesus? It is Jesus desire that you be a fully functional and successful bold ambassador in the kingdom of God. Philemon 1:8-9; Ephesians 6:20. Just as successful as He was in becoming your Savior.





After feeding more than five thousand people by multiplying five small loaves of bread and two little fish Jesus commanded His disciples to get into a boat and go to the other side of the lake. (Sea of Galilee a freshwater lake). And after He sent this great multitude away, He Himself went up into the mountain to pray. Time past and evening fell as Jesus communed with His beloved Father. And the disciples found themselves in the middle of the lake tossed about by huge waves stirred up by a great opposing wind which battered them about and caused them to fear for their lives.. By the time Jesus had finished His prayer time with the Father it was the wee hours of the morning. (Between 3 AM and 6 AM) Having sent the disciples on ahead He set out walking across the sea to where they were. However, when they observed Him coming toward them walking on the water they were even more terrified than before. Now they had what they supposed was a ghost coming for them! And Jesus would have passed them by except in their fear they cried out. Mark 6: 48 ( Remember Jesus told them to go to the other side. He never told them to stop in the middle of the lake and fear any storm that stood in their way of obeying His command. He was going to meet them on the other side.) When Jesus heard their cries of terror immediately He stopped and talked with them saying," Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid. Peter responded Lord if that is really you COMMAND me come to you on the water. Jesus simple response was COME! Peter climbed down out of that wind and wave tossed boat in a great surge of instance faith, which enabled Him to walk to Jesus. Having taken His eyes off the wind and walking on the water to Jesus and having solved the ghost problem, Peter once again turned his attention to the boisterous winds that still raged about them. And he was once again overcome by fear and doubt, which immediately caused him to start to sink beneath the turbulent water. In his desperation Peter cried out to Jesus to save Him. And as Jesus stretched out His hand to save Peter He also said, O you of little faith, why did you doubt!!!

Notice Jesus COMMANDED His disciple to get into that boat and GO TO THE OTHER SIDE of the lake. Well, Jesus was fully aware of what they would find in the middle of the lake. Remember what Jesus commands of us He enables us to do by faith. No matter how big the storm is that stands between us and our destination. If He commands it of you, you are able to do it. He ask nothing, absolutely nothing of us that we cannot, by the power of His Spirit through obedience, accomplish. We are just as much His disciples as this group of frightened men were. And just as He command them to do, we are also commanded to do what He says fearlessly by faith without one smidgen of doubt. Just before these men set out on their voyage to cross the Sea of Galilee, which was their commanded destination. They had watched Jesus demonstrate to them that He alone was their sufficiency in life, by multiplying the five loaves of bread and the two fish. He alone was their, and now is our, abundantly sufficient bread of life. Whatever our need, it is found in Him. He demonstrated who He was to these disciples and immediately sent them out to face the raging wind and waves that stood between them and their destination. And when they failed to do that He made it clear to them (and us )that it was because of their small doubting faith. It is undoubting faith that we are to apply to every circumstance of life. Jesus is there to caught us when we fall and cry out to Him. Just as He was with Peter. But, oh have much better for us, and how He rejoices when by faith we determine to walk through the storms of life right into all the promises of His grace.

Matthew14: 22-33; Mark 6:45-52; James 1:6-8.
