Satan Is Defeated!

Philippians 2:8, “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

There is a time in the near future when all creation will bow at the feet of Christ and declare true reverence to Him. Jesus, the Son of God, humbled Himself to a degrading death on a Roman cross. In doing so, He became the eternal sacrifice for the sins of all mankind. His blood was poured out for the Victory of every believer. Through the power of His resurrection and triumph over death, hell and the grave, Jesus has brought LIFE to all who will believe.

By the same triumphant act, He has sealed the doom of every entity that stands in opposition to God’s plan for all mankind. “...Of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth,” all will bow in humble, submissive, reverence to Jesus Christ as the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. This ultimately will happen in the END, the CONSUMMATION of all things.

However, Satan is already defeated! He just hasn’t conceded his loss. I am convinced that Jesus Christ wants to use the Body of Christ to bring to fruition (the state of being real) the domain (area of a ruler's control) of His miraculous power. The Lord Jesus Christ wants to reveal the awesomeness of His miraculous power in and through the Body. He wants to use the Body of Christ to march into Satan's house, the very seat and throne of his rule and rescue perishing souls.

Satan has believed his own lies. He is the father of lies. He exists in the domain of lies and deceit. And as with a habitual liar, he cannot discern where the lie ends and reality begins. He thought he could defeat Jesus in the wilderness of temptation. He thought he could defeat Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. He thought he had defeated Jesus on the cross. He thought he had defeated Jesus when they sealed Him in the tomb. But what Satan failed to remember was that all this was according to prophecy and God's plan. Jesus brought us to the apex of spiritual victory when He walked out of that tomb! That was God's plan!

Satan is caught in the trap of his own deceit which separates him from the reality of God's plan. The reality begins at the cross. The reality is that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin and delivers us from the power of sin. 1 John 1:7, “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” Romans 8:2, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” Therefore the blood of Jesus delivers us from the power of Satan's influence over this mortal body.

The reality is that the tomb could not hold Him. He is risen exercising the power of God over death, hell and the grave. Thereby He gives us hope of eternal life. The reality is that He ascended to the Father but He did not leave us powerless but promised the gift of the Holy Ghost to take His place. Acts 1:8, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” The reality is that He has given us power and authority to go into the Devil's house and take back what he has stolen from us. He is a thief and comes to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has overcome him and so can we!

The reality is that He is coming again and soon. Matt. 28:11, “Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”

God’s Promise for the Believer:                                                                                         1Thess. 4:16, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

God’s Promise for the Deceiver:                                                                               Revelation 20:10, “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”

What Are You Trading Your Life For? by Myra Boozer

Matthew 13:44, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.”

Just thinking about what is important to me, you know, what really matters? Some things just don't matter! Lately every time I say it don't matter, Bill starts singing "It don't matter where you bury me." Well, me either but there are some things that really matter. What matters is not possessing many things of value but possessing the one thing of greatest value, the Kingdom of God!!! It's worth more than all the other things we could ever find.

What are you trading your life for? Day by day we usually spend our time doing what we want, working to pay bills, saving for a vacation, new house, new car, on and on. But what really matters? When we come to the end of our life I don't want to find that I spent my life on "things." I don't want to find that what I traded my life for was "fool's gold," shiny, insubstantial and ultimately worthless things. But that I sought out the "pearl of great price" like the man in the parable of the treasure hidden in the field. He knew what mattered! Do you? Whatever you have to give up to get the great treasure it will be so small compared to the treasure that is waiting on the other side. Seek ye first the kingdom, then these other things will be added. But, they will never be as important or take the place of the greatest treasure God has for you in His Kingdom...Matt. 13:44-52.

No Place For Satan! by Myra Boozer

"AS the communist atheists allowed no place for JESUS in their hearts, I decided I would leave NOT the smallest place for Satan in mine," by founders of the Voice of the Martyrs. We must be on guard what we allow into our hearts and our thoughts. We must stay full of God and the Holy Spirit in order to decree “there is no room for Satan!” The Holy Spirit will warn us when Satan is knocking on our door wanting to come in thru worldliness, thru unforgiveness, thru idolatry, thru pride and thru unbelief. There are so many ways he will try to enter our minds and take up residence in our hearts. Don't answer the door when he comes knocking. But if you do, answer with Scripture. God's Word is powerful. "For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart,” Hebrews 4:12.

We live in a world of sin and we must stay away from it. We cannot partake of sin and remain pure, holy and Godly. We are in training and when we fall down we get back up. And with the help of our Lord we will remain faithful to Him and the calling He has on our life.

So grateful he continues to pursue me and confronts me about my life through His Word. He is still changing me and conforming me into His image for which I am thankful. I too have a desire that NOT even the smallest place in my heart is given over to Satan.

The Weapons Of Our Warfare Are Not Carnal!

2 Cor. 10:3, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 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 are engaged in a mighty spiritual war! We cannot afford to delay engaging the enemy. We must not be negligent in our mission as the Body of Christ. We are empowered by the shed blood of Jesus Christ to engage and defeat the enemy of all souls, Satan. All souls belong to God. Jesus has purchased all who will come to Him and receive His deliverance. God declares in Ezekiel 18:4, “Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine:..” However, somebody must deliver the message of Christ's deliverance.

Although we are flesh we cannot win this war through our flesh. We already know that our carnal man has failed us and we cannot defeat Satan in our flesh. The weapons of this warfare must come from a higher plane. We must be empowered and instructed by the Lord God Almighty.

Paul instructs the New Testament Church to be strong in the Lord and to stand in the power of His might. Eph. 6:10, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 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. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:” What Paul is describing in this text is the power and work of the Holy Spirit which inhabits the life of a disciple of Jesus Christ. Our power and spiritual energy comes through our obedience and submission to Him.

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;” Paul declares that our “weapons” are not in the flesh but “mighty” in the Spirit of God so that we may participate with Him in the destruction of the “strongholds” of Satan. This is a military phrase for the capture and destruction of fortresses. Ellicott states that Paul “speaks as if leading an attack on the strong defenses of the powers of evil, possibly thinking of the great system of idolatry and impurity enthroned at Corinth and throughout the Empire, possibly of those of pride and obstinate rebellion in the hearts of his individual opponents.”

Paul knew that His task was much larger than what he could perform. He knew that the Body of Christ would need the habitation of the Holy Spirit to finish the commission given by Christ. Subsequently, we have the promise of God that as we walk in the Holy Spirit, He (Holy Spirit) will exercise His power to destroy the strongholds of Satan. 

Our weapons are not carnal but spiritual. The 1^st Century Church was not successful in their mission to deliver the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world by human power and authority. These Disciples of Christ did not rely on learning or eloquence, or any thing that could be attributed to human ability. Their source of power and strength was solely in Jesus Christ. God’s plan has not changed. The source of our power and strength must rest solely in Jesus Christ.

In closing, I want to ask a question. Have you pulled down any strongholds recently? If not, why not? I ask myself this same question. The source of my power and strength must rest solely in Jesus Christ. And when it does the fortresses of Satan will fall, powerless in the presence of Almighty God! Bring it, Lord bring it! Help us all to die to everything that does not begin and end in You! Thank you God for considering an undeserving soul like me!

I Must LIVE In His Presence!

“Father God we do here and now come into agreement with your WORD and SPIRIT. Bathe us in your spirit of contrition and repentance. Bring us to the place of revelation and manifestation of your person and the miracles that accompany such a presence. Thank you Lord for allowing us to be your vessels. In Jesus Name! Amen.”

One Thing Have I Desired Of The Lord! by Myra Boozer

David said in Psalm 27:4, "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple." What are we seeking today? What are we looking for? Matthew 7:7, “...seek, and ye shall find...” David wasn't talking about staying in the temple everyday but he was talking about dwelling in His presence “all the days.” Psalm 27:5 says, “For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the secret of His tabernacle shall he hide me; He shall set me up upon a rock." We find divine refuge in Psalm 31:20, and a hiding place...a place of safety, yes in the time of trouble. He goes on to Psalm 27:8, “When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.” So, many times we seek His hand, which is his provision, but He told David, “seek my face,”...His person.....who He is. When we truly seek Him, we live in His house, His pavilion, His tabernacle, His presence. When we dwell there we are set upon a rock...a firm foundation. The very best thing we can seek is the face of the Lord. Oh! to know Him...to really know Him...to cherish him like we cherish nothing else.

In a very personal way, when you love someone you want to share life with them. You don't just visit them on Sunday. They become part of your everyday life. The Lord doesn't want us out on the porch. He wants us to come on in and dwell (live) with Him!

I Am A Friend Of God!

James 2:23, “...Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.”

Abraham put his faith and trust in the Lord God Jehovah. He trusted God enough to do as God directed in his life. The implication is that after Abraham considered all the facts regarding his relationship with God, he could follow God without any reservation or doubt. As he walked in obedience with God, his life was a testimony to the faithfulness of God. Therefore, “...he was called the Friend of God.” What did that mean for Abraham? It meant that God considered their relationship so intimate and important that He (God) was compelled by that relationship to reveal to His friend those events that might adversely affect his life and God’s calling upon that life.

Gen. 18:17, “...And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.”

God’s expectation regarding Abraham was that he would obey the voice of God. Abraham would be the vessel through which the nation of Israel would become a great and mighty nation. And all nations of the earth would be blessed through him. God knew that Abraham would require his house and lineage to “keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment;” Therefore, Abraham needed to receive the information that would prepare him to make the correct choices and respond appropriately. So, God warned him of His plan to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah because of their sin and wickedness. Abraham petitioned God for any righteous souls that might live there. Consequently, Lot and his family were warned. They left and were saved except Lot’s wife who disobeyed and looked back at the destruction of the city and was turned to a pillar of salt.

How is any of this relevant to our lives today? As professed followers of Jesus Christ, we must have an intimate person relationship with God. That it is said of us, we are a friend of God. That He is compelled by that relationship to reveal to us, His friends, those things that might affect our lives and His calling upon us.

Know God and then you will know His will. I mean, when we come to really know Him intimately, His nature becomes our nurture. He then is the driving force within affecting every decision and move we make. Our lives have been so affected by our encounter with Him that we have been forever changed in our desires to BE like Him. “...I am come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly...” John 10:10. We truly begin to live life to its fullest in Jesus Christ! 

I AM A FRIEND OF GOD! HE CALLS ME FRIEND!!! 

Trust In The Lord! by Myra Boozer

Stay close to the Lord and receive His Favor. Trust in Him and receive His Strength. Long for Him and receive His Glory. Walk with Him and receive His Power. Ask of Him and receive His Wisdom. Listen for Him and hear His voice. Praise Him and He will give you a Song. Humble yourself before Him and He will exalt you. Wait on Him with good courage and He will strengthen your Heart. Eat at His table and you shall be filled. Delight yourself in Him and He will give you the desires of your Heart. Submit yourself and He will wash you clean. Give what you have and He will multiply it. Sit at His feet and He will teach you. Look to Him and He will show you great and mighty things. Put your Hope in Him and you will not be disappointed. Lift Him high and others will be drawn to Him. Love righteousness and hate wickedness and He will anoint you with Gladness above others. Remember Him and you will rejoice. Let God Arise and his enemies will be scattered. Call upon Him and He will answer you. Seek Him and You will Find Him.

Will You Hear? by Myra Boozer

Jesus is standing in the defense of all who trust Him. Our Divine protector against all evil...He is Alive and He is Coming for all those who love Him (Not casual love but love with a commitment and a covenant). We have no need to fear evil, for He is our bodyguard. JESUS has conquered death, hell and the grave! He won't let His Bride be destroyed by any enemy. He has made a way for us to have love, joy and peace in the pavilion He has for us. Even in the dark days...He is our HOPE...He is our Future...He is our Savior. But we, as Ezekiel, need to hear "the word of the LORD came unto me saying." We must be able to communicate for He is our great Intercessor to the Father. He is our daily guide, our very life's sustainer. How can we survive without talking to Him? We must know He is near and listening to our cries when we are facing daily battles with the enemy of our souls.

Lord, our greatest quest is to hear your voice and know your desire for us. Lord, help me to listen intently. I want to obey but I must be still and quiet in order to hear you today. So much is going on in my mind and my heart. Lord you can calm all the thoughts and direct my steps. I will trust in you and sing your song. It may be low, very low this morning as the tears flow. But you understand as I feel the needs of my family and friends heavy on my heart. Help me to just hand all these thoughts, prayers and urgent needs to you and allow you to take care of each one of them. My job is to gather them one by one and bring them to you in Faith. For you are the Healer, the Deliverer, the Heart Mender, the Peace Giver, the Lifter of our Heads. You Lord are the one who really cares for us. We belong to you because of the cross.

I pray this prayer for my family and all who need an encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. May you learn to love the sound of God's voice in your ear. May you cultivate such a heart for Peace and a heart at Rest that you fully Trust your Father to lead you in the Way that you should go. May you lose your taste for the things that weaken you. May you develop a hunger and thirst for all God has for you. May you receive a fresh revelation of God's Love and Promises for you. You are a gifted treasure, loved person and you're called to impact the world in a way that only you can. May the Love of Christ constrain you and compel you in the days ahead. May He open your eyes to the new territory awaiting you.

Jesus Wins This War!

Galatians 6:9, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

If you are not being tested or tried right now, just hold on. Your time is coming. Satan has not forgotten about you. He is fully aware of the efforts of every child of God and will do everything in his power to defeat us. But, we are not bound by Satan. We serve an awesome God who has already secured our future in Christ Jesus. By the power of the Blood of the Cross, we are loosed and we are free. The power of the Spirit of Almighty God possesses our mortal bodies. Our Creator and Redeemer has broken the chains, loosed the fetters and opened the barred doors. I am free, thank God I am free! However, we must keep our faith in God’s promises. By the nature of our commission, we are compelled to stand on the Word of God until we finish our mission here.

Don’t grow “weary in well doing.” Persecution of the followers of Christ has always been. Actually, tests and trials are the anthem of the “born again.” Persecutions and afflictions are synonymous with being a disciple of Christ. Paul testified to the deliverance of Christ because Christ brought him through persecutions and afflictions. 2 Tim. 3:10, “But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.” The Lord Jesus delivered Paul out of them all. That was Paul’s testimony. Paul “endured” hardness (to suffer, be afflicted) as a good soldier of the Cross therefore, he could instruct Timothy to do the same. 2 Tim. 2:2, “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”

Persecution will become worse as we approach the soon coming of Christ and the consummation of all things. 2 Tim. 3:12, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;” Though the enemy rises up to interfere with our mission, our victory has already been secured. Jesus declared victory at Calvary when He embraced the role of His sacrifice. Psalm 22:14, “I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.” Jesus poured Himself out on the cross and there is power in the blood of his sacrifice. Power to march into the enemy's domain, invading the places he has hidden the souls of the lost, hopeless, and imprisoned of the human race. The power and light of Jesus Christ will reach into these deep dark crevices of life and set the doomed free.

Take heart, be encouraged, we’ve read the last chapter in His Book. Jesus Christ is victorious. Put you trust in Him. Walk in His strength. He will provide everything we need to successfully complete our mission.

Isaiah 40:31, “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

Struggles Are What We Need, Sometimes! by Myra Boozer

I have been thinking about struggles lately, maybe because I have had a few. I came across this story and it puts things into perspective...maybe it will help someone.

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further. So, the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.

The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It was never able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening was essential. This was God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

SOMETIMES STRUGGLES ARE EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED IN OUR LIVES. If God allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. We could never fly! Lord help me to not doubt the path you have chosen for me because you are working ALL things for my good, even in the struggles.

The days just ahead of us will present more challenges than we can imagine because darkness is hovering over this world. The Light of Jesus that you possess will be despised and rejected. It won't be easy to stand in the face of opposition. We will not stand in our own power but the power of our Almighty God!

1 Peter 1:7, "That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:"

Our Great Commission!

Acts 1:8, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

The responsibility of the Body of Christ to spread the Gospel is critical today and is increasing in its importance every day that passes. The weight upon our hearts to fulfill this ministry is beyond our human ability to bear. Jesus Christ who has given this task must also empower us to complete our mission. Our success will be determined by how well we have followed His leading. It is for that reason that I offer this prayer for all engaged in this “Great Commission.”

“Lord Jesus, You have given me such an enormous responsibility and I accept it willingly. However, I realize how much I am dependent upon you. I feel the helplessness of this frail human soul so I ask you in all humility to make me rise to the task. I need your intervention in every effort with every step I take. Open my heart to the Holy Spirit and help me to hear your voice. I don't want to miss your cue. Help me to be ever aware of where I am and where you are. I need your abiding presence every step of this journey. I can't go without your approval and support. I don't want to be a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. I want to speak your WORD. Your WORD will go forth with power and authority. Your WORD will convict hearts and change lives. Your WORD will prepare our hearts for eternity.

Father, I pray for the Church, Your Church. Help us to cast off the works of this human flesh. Help us to return to the days of old where we walked in the power of the Holy Ghost. Renew in us an intense desire to experience a fresh wind of the Spirit. Burn away the sin and selfishness that we embrace so easily. Help us to see ourselves as you see us. Help us to be void of our own agenda and to know and perform your will daily in our lives. Help us to see vividly that your cause is most important and our goals are secondary subject to what you desire. Purge us and wash us clean of all our human ambitions and replace them with your high and lofty goals. Fill us up with your person that there is no room for ME. Father, we offer this prayer in the name of your precious Son, Jesus. Amen.”

Know The Love Of Jesus! by Myra Boozer

Do you know the love of Jesus? Has He come into your life and brought peace where confusion and turmoil once lived? Has He come with His whisper of the love that He has for you and your family? Has He given you joy beyond measure, sharing with you the abundance of the heavenly rain that covers all souls that delight in Him? Do you feel His arms of security and confidence in His plan for your life, instead of feeling like a lost ship on the sea of time? Do you awake each morning with the hope that today you will be able to share the good news with the world that so desperately needs it...all because you know JESUS, the author of good news? Do you have a laughter that comes from a deep, deep well of living water that springs forth giving life?

Do you know the love of Jesus? The compassionate one who feels every heartache, and sees every tear that falls from your eyes...Do you know this man that gave His very life so that you would not have to receive punishment for the sin of Adam that is born in each of us? Do you know Him? Do you know that He is coming to take those who love Him to live with Him forever in a place that eyes have not seen and ears have not heard? There is nothing on earth to even compare.

Jesus is the one who picks me up and turns me around. He puts me on solid ground when I feel dizzy from the hustle of this life. He is the one I depend on to give me strength. He is the one who gives me HOPE that no matter what may come, no matter what may happen that I can be FAITHFUL to Him and TRUST Him for the outcome.

In The Company Of Children!

Matt. 18:2, “And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”

There is something so very priceless about being in the company of children. They are such precious creations. Often as I look into the faces of my jewels, the blessings God has given to me, my gifts straight from heaven, my grandchildren, I see in them the reflection of the face of God. Many times I have met them just outside my front door as they came running up my walkway. Their faces were all aglow with joy and happy to come to our house. With sweet smiles upon their faces and arms spread wide, they run into the arms of their anxiously awaiting grandfather.

Such an exchange of love and embrace is hard to describe in ordinary words. It makes one's heart melt before God and all creation just to think that such a relationship can even exist. And you know in your heart this is not just a human experience. You realize that the connection reaches deep down to the very soul. It reaches into that part of us which is unique to the human being. There is no other facet of creation that can experience such a relationship. And God breathed the breath of live into the first human being and he became a living soul. I am overwhelmed with thanksgiving that He has created such a wonder. Thank you Lord for including us in such an awesome plan.

Lost Souls, Lost For Eternity!!!

I hear and fully embrace the call in the Church to reach the lost with the Gospel. As I spend time in prayer and meditation, this responsibility weighs heavy upon my heart. Time is short and what we are going to do for God, we must do it quickly. We have spent time in prayer seeking God for His instructions for this hour. I hear the Holy Spirit saying, “Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest,”John 4:35. I hear Him say, “don’t postpone the harvest, the harvest is ready.”

I am hearing the message of Jesus’ soon coming more each day and I believe that is the inspiration of God allowing us to know that time is short. That being the case, we cannot delay in fulfilling Christ’s commission to His Church to preach the Gospel and make disciples. We cannot afford to delay or be negligent in our Divine task. There is too much at stake. The salvation of those we love and influence is at risk. Who will reach them if we are not obedient to His calling? How can we escape if we neglect this great salvation. The time to win them is while God is calling us! If He is instructing us to take the message, He is preparing hearts to receive the message!

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the answer to the needs of all people. In the book of Luke, the angels announcement of the birth of Christ was the proclamation of Good News for all mankind. Luke 2:10, “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” All men must hear the message of redemption and freedom in Christ.

Jesus left the Divine opportunity of sharing the “Good News” with the world to the Church. Matt. 28:18, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

The Body of Christ is commissioned to carry the “Good News” into all the world. In v18 Jesus states that He has all power. Why is that important? In the very next verse, Jesus outlines the task of those that remain to carry the Gospel to all nations, “Go ye therefore...” doing what He had done, saving the lost, healing the sick, teaching to observe all the things that Jesus had taught. And because He had all power, He anointed with power to accomplish the commission given. He validated this fact by, “I am with you always.” The Christ with all power promised to always be with His disciples in every generation to secure the completion of His commission.

Our “Mission” is ordained by God and empowered by God. This “Mission” is one that we must accept individually and collectively as the Church. Christ commissioned the Church but as His disciples, we must embrace His command and accept individual responsibility to tell the “Good News.” The Church will fulfill Her role and complete Her Mission. As individuals we have a choice. We will either embrace His call or settle for something less than complete surrender. Without total abandon for Christ we cannot finish our assignment successfully. We cannot afford to fail in this endeavor. Matt. 7:21, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

Come To Me! by Myra Boozer

“COME TO ME when you are hurting and I will soothe your pain, Come to Me when you are joyful, and I will share your Joy, multiplying it many times over," from “Jesus Calling.” If the things that bring us joy are things that are acceptable in the sight of the Lord it is so easy to share them with Him. But on the other hand if we are taking pleasure from the things of this world, things that His word says to not be partakers of then we cannot share those with Him. That is where we come up short. Because, His Word says "The Joy of the Lord is my STRENGTH," Neh. 8:10. Are you Spiritually weak today? Check to see if you have been taking pleasure in the WRONG things...could be the answer. Especially if you are seeking to be closer to the Lord...and wanting to enjoy your life in Him. He has a plan and it works...Matt. 11:28, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

There IS A Place! by Myra Boozer

Don't you wish there was a place where all those of us who are so " offensive," "negative" and just too "Bible oriented" could go. A place where there are no parades with some being naked (men and women), young and old acting foolish, being vulgar and despicable, even desecrating our Nations Flag and the Holy Bible. Where there are no terrorist killing the fathers of the little children and leaving the Moms the responsibilities to raise them alone with broken hearts. A place where all babies are loved and protected against murderers and from people who are selling their precious little body parts so they can finance the luxury cars they so desire. A place where there are no criminals, murderers, rapist or drunk drivers killing innocent families and children. A place where there is no one being sold as a sex slave. A place without the bars, clubs, drugs, pornography, cheaters on their wives or husbands. No “50 shades of Gray," No same sex marriage.

A place where the laws of God aren't being defiled. A place where people know about love and not lust. A place where people tell the truth and live by that truth. A place where those who have needs get what they need. A place where you can feel safe and don't need a gun, alarm system or Big Dogs for protection. A place where the children run and play and there are no bullies or vile people trying to invade their lives and steal their innocence. A place where the elderly are safe and cared for and no one is trying to rip them off and take their life’s savings and take away the few years they have left.

A place where the very love of God is in the hearts of all the people and they enjoy His Presence with freedom to sing, dance and worship the God of all Creation. A place of healing and restoration, triumph and beauty, love and laughter, Peace and Joy in the Holy Ghost. No barriers between us and the One who came and gave His life for ALL who would ask forgiveness and Follow Him.

There IS a place! Jesus said he would go and prepare a place for US and that He would come again to get us and take us to that place to be with Him. Where NO SIN, NO DEFILED PERSON CAN ENTER. The place is called HEAVEN. I AM SURE YOU KNOW SOMEONE ALREADY THERE. We must get ready and stay ready for in such an hour as you are not even thinking about it, He could come. OH I CAN HARDLY WAIT.

Too many precious, innocent people are being ridiculed, humiliated, broken, tortured and destroyed by sinful beings that are running rampant in our world, RIGHT NOW !!! #prayforthevictimsofthissinfulworld

I'm Desperate For You!

Lord Jesus, I need You today in a most desperate way. I need You to unlock my consciousness and pour into me Your inspiration and revelation. I so desire to hear Your consoling words and have them take root in my heart. Come, Lord Jesus, and raise this mortal soul into Your heavenly realm. Just give me a glimpse, I pray, of what is before us. I do not question Your ways but submit totally to Your leading. Help me to walk in unreserved obedience and baptize me afresh in Your love and compassion. Almighty God seize my soul in Your embrace to walk in intimate relationship and companionship. Bear me up on Your wings, empower me to soar above this world and all it’s problems, help me to see only what You desire to reveal.

Lord, I have such a hunger for Your constant presence in my life. It is not sufficient to only meet with You on religious occasions. I must know that I am going where You are going, doing what You are doing and being a part of Your grand endeavors in and through the Body of Christ. Take me, take me now where it is just You and me. Put within me all that I need to complete our journey here! In Jesus’ name! Amen

Are You In A Mess Today! by Myra Boozer

Well God can turn that mess into a great MESSAGE, a message of deliverance! God does NOT always change your circumstance but He can change you from the inside out. He can deliver you from your old self and make you a new creature in Him. One full of renewed HOPE and LIFE EVERLASTING.

God can change your heart, your thoughts, your desires and your goals in life. He is a miracle working God. He is a God of TRANSFORMATION. God can bring you out of the rubble and do a complete makeover giving you the freedom you've never known. Real Freedom is the freedom you find in Christ Jesus. He can set your soul "FREE" even behind prison bars. You can be free even in the midst of persecution...Free in the midst of cancer...Free in the midst of poverty...Free in the midst of a bad marriage...Free in the midst of all hell coming against you.

THERE IS TRULY FREEDOM IN CHRIST JESUS. Psalms 91 is our "go to chapter." Run to these great promises every day. They will bring you great HOPE and COMFORT. Psalms 91: 4, "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler." He who redeems you will keep you. Psalms 91:15, " He shall call upon me and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will DELIVER him and HONOR him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my SALVATION."

The Blood Of Jesus Washes Me! by Myra Boozer

Oh, to be washed in the Blood of the Lamb. Thank you Lord for your provision for all our sin. No greater sacrifice than what you have made, that we might be counted worthy of forgiveness. I accept your love for me today and I want to follow you in all your ways...”not my will but thine be done.” This is not an easy prayer but you are so much higher than me Lord, and you can see the big picture so I must Trust you to work your will in my life. I guess that means I surrender to you, at this moment...help me to stay surrendered. Lord, sometimes that path is very uncertain and uncharted and you must hold my hand. Sometimes even carry me for the way seems long, hard and scary. I love you Lord! Help me to love you more each day!

The Lord Is My Refuge! by Myra Boozer

A word from" The Word." Psalm 5:11,"But let all who take refuge in you be GLAD; Let them ever SING for JOY. Spread your protection over them, that those who LOVE Your Name may rejoice in You. 12 For surely O Lord You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favor as a Shield,” NIV. I love the scripture and song that says "For thou O Lord art a shield for me, the glory and the lifter up of mine head." Don't be troubled or cast down. The ONE you love, the ONE you adore, the ONE who gave His very life for you is watching and waiting to come and restore His Kingdom here on this earth. And He will rule and reign forever and ever. No question about it, He has everything under control and He knows your name. Don't worry, stay close and let nothing pull your thoughts aside from His will for your life…" Not my will but thine be done," is the prayer for us to pray. He knows our path and He knows our hearts. There is Favor for you as His child, when you walk with Him...not that everything will go the way WE think...but that He knows what is best and will work all things for our good. He is our Faithful Father! Trust in Him! It isn't that much further and we'll be HOME!

God's Grace Is Greater Than My Storm!

John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”

“In the beginning God created..,” Gen. 1:1. He has been a part of every beginning since. I feel God is pulling us back to Himself. He has been with us from the beginning of the journey and He wants us to understand that it is through Him that we will finish this race. There is no other power, presence or virtue sufficient to complete our assignment. He will magnify our efforts and ministry as He receives the honor and glory for the results. He is our all in all. I feel the Holy Spirit calling “come wrap yourself in the power of His presence and allow Him to perform in you His glorious works!”

I am weak but He is strong! 2 Cor. 12:9, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” God’s grace is sufficient for each and every test or trial we face. If we allow Him to fully control our lives, we are made strong in our weakness because in our weakness God shows His strength. There is no enemy that can stand against Him. There is no foe that He cannot overcome. There is no fortress that can withstand Him and no opposition that he cannot vanquish. Come, Come to Him now. No, run to Him now, allow Him to wrap you in His mantle of authority and shelter you from the storms ahead.

I hear the rumbling in the distance, the sound of a mighty army moving into position. It is a well prepared army, each soldier in his place and prepared to perform his duty. There are no cowards (no fear) in their number because they have been washed clean. Though their sins were as crimson, their rainment is white as snow.

There is ONE with them whose name no one can know except His eyes are a flaming fire and He is clothed with a vesture dipped in blood. His name is the Word of God. Out of His mouth comes a sharp sword to smite the nations and rule them with the rod of Truth and He tramps the wine press of the wrath of Almighty God. He has on His garment and on His thigh written the name, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. At His appearing every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord! Rev. 22:17, “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”

In The Time Of A Storm! by Myra Boozer

Are you in the midst of a trial and you feel you are headed directly into a life threatening storm? Do you feel that your world is about to fall apart and you have no idea where you're going to land? Has your foundation been shaken by the enemy and your life seems to be twirling in the air headed to the land of Oz?

Many people are in circumstances that make them feel helpless and hopeless. They don't know who to trust, who to call or who they can depend on to lend a helping hand. They are struggling with so much fear and anxiety for what their future may hold.

I shared with a friend today about trusting God during the times of uncertainty. Sometimes things happen overnight and we feel stunned by the changes that are inevitably on their way. Things are changing all over the world with governments, health care, employment, sickness, marriages and a great moral decline making people fear for the lives of their families. But we must remember God never Changes!

Sometimes people lose everything they own and have to start over from the beginning. God has promised He would make a way for us. He has invited us to call on Him and to trust in His ability to take care of us. He has told us He would never leave us or forsake us no matter how fierce our storm may become.

We must stand on His Word...His Promises...His Truth...His Wisdom is from everlasting to everlasting. He is not a man that He should lie. What He promises He will perform.

Going through a storm is never comfortable or something we welcome but it has it's rewards. Yes, you will come out stronger than when you went into the horrible situation. You will know how to pray more than you've ever prayed. You will become so much better acquainted with the Master. You will understand His ways are not our ways but they are for our good. You will have more peace than before because you understand that contentment doesn't come from good circumstance or possessions but from having a pure relationship with the Lord. You will realize that you’re no longer burdened with having to figure out all the details of your life. He does that for you. You learn that joy does not come from feeling happy about situations but by knowing that all is well with your soul. The small wonders of His great creation will make you smile and rejoice in knowing he made everything with a purpose...a plan and that includes you. You will learn how amazing God really is! He can take nothing and make something. Hey, He SPOKE this whole universe into existence. He makes the sun to shine and the world to rotate on it's axis. He is ever mindful of YOU...one of His greatest creations. “TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL THINE HEART; AND LEAN NOT UNTO THINE OWN UNDERSTANDING. IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS,” Proverbs 3:6-7. A promise to never forget, especially in the time of a STORM.

Disconnected From Our Creator!

Do you ever feel that you are disconnected from God? The cares of this world are pressing in and it seems like there is no place for the Lord. What has created such a disconnect from the spirit world? In the Garden of Eden, the spiritual and the physical were perfectly joined together. The disconnect came when man disobeyed and sinned. As a result of that disobedience Adam and Eve had to deal with issues in life that God never intended. God never intended that they concern themselves with anything relative to their living and provision (water, food, shelter, clothing). He had already made provision for all their needs and God presented Himself each day to walk with them in the cool of the evening. Anything they needed, God was right there in person to provide.

God's intention was that they dress the garden. We don't know exactly what that involved but we do know that the environment drastically changed after the sin of disobedience. They went from having everything they needed to providing for themselves through toil, sweat and tears. The earth itself became a vessel of discipline. They were driven from the perfect climate of the garden to the dry and thirsty land of rebellion where they had to battle the thorns and thistles for food to eat. God cursed the ground because of sin and in the sweat of his face man would have food to eat. And the pain of childbirth would be greatly multiplied.

God never intended it to be this way. His plan was for the spiritual and physical to be perfectly joined together. How can that be with the fallen state of mankind? Through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, we can walk in the spirit though we are present in this physical body. Though we live in this physical world, we live and move and have our being in Jesus Christ. Acts 17:25, “...seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things...28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being...” By virtue of our beginning, we are the creation of God. Created to walk in communion with our creator and thereby having access to Him who is all sufficient in all things. Through faith in Him, we are sanctified (set apart from the world) Heb. 10:10, “By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Through faith in Christ we are regenerated (restored to sinless state) Titus 3:5, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;” And through the saving grace of the cross we are justified (just as if we never sinned) Eph. 2:16, “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ,..” Therefore, we can conclude that through Jesus' sacrifice we are restored to the relationship God had with man before the fall.

Why is that so important? The blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ reconnected us to God. When we confess our sin and believe that by virtue of His sacrifice He will forgive our sin, we are reconnected to God through Christ. Consequently, God wants to walk with us in intimate relationship in the same sense that He walked with Adam in the garden before man’s disobedience. We can walk in renewed fellowship with sin forgiven and renewed status in the family of God.

His intention is that His Holy Spirit is our counselor, comfort, rock, strong tower, mighty fortress, deliverer, provider, healer and everything else we need. “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus,” Phil. 4:19.

I want to note two very important factors in the relationship between God and Adam. 1)There was continued communication between them. 2)Obedience to God's instructions was absolute. When these two principles are observed, our spiritual man and our physical man are perfectly joined together. There is no disconnect between God and a born again follower of Jesus Christ!

He's A Good, Good Father! by Myra Boozer

Today I'm thankful for God's provision. All my life, God has always been such a big part, even when I strayed away at different times like a rebellious child. He was on my mind and I knew He was looking out for me and calling me back to a close relationship with Him. I always sensed His strong arm of correction, not allowing me a clear conscience for my actions but showing me my error (something a good parent does for their children).

Sometimes it is not in our plans to turn away from God but little by little if we're watching other people. We will began to question why some things are never dealt with and why others help them to cover up their sin. But this is something that has always been and we surely see evidence of that going on today more than ever. People will let you down and disappoint you, causing you to pull away from God and Church. Just remember we will NOT be judged by what others do or say. We will be judged for our own words and actions.

Those whom God loves, He will chastise. We don't like correction but just remember when God cares enough for you to take time to discipline YOU, He really cares. God not only shows us what is wrong in our life but He brings a solution and healing to our problems. He has truly provided what I needed and His direction and correction has brought me to where I am today. But I had to turn around and seek His forgiveness knowing that I was not going to survive out in the world on my own. I needed Him and all that He had for me and that included Him being my Lord and Master. He is my avenger, my strength and my protector. My heart is fixed on Him. My eyes are looking for His coming and I am filled with JOY in the expectation of what He has in store for those who love Him. YES, HE HAS PROVIDED ALL I'VE EVER NEEDED, EVEN THE DISCIPLINE.... SO THANKFUL!!!!!

We Need To Know God's Instructions For This Hour!

We need to know God in such an intimate manner that He can give us the specific instructions that we need for this hour. Now is the time to pray and seek Him for individual direction and instructions for the Body of Christ. We cannot afford to delay or be negligent in this task. There is far too much at stake. The salvation of those we love and influence is at risk. How shall we escape if we neglect this great salvation. Time is short! Our deliverance is at hand!

Romans 13:11, “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.”

We continue to fight the battle between the flesh and the spirit. However, if we are to be successful for God we must position ourselves where we can hear and receive His counsel. I hear the chatter, chatter, chatter of the diversions of this life. We must cry out to the Lord Jesus Christ that He will empower us to stay focused on His plan. Through the power of the Holy Spirit we must quiet the diversions!

We live in the most self-absorbed society in my life time. And when we are so self-focused, we can miss the greater plan that God has for us. If we are always focused on I, me, and mine, it is difficult for us to understand the needs of those around us. Our role in God's plan is to affect our world for the cause of Christ. When I am focused on the here and now, the day to day issues in my life, it pushes my spiritual connection farther away. If my attention is given fully to the pain in my body, the issues of my relationships and the responsibilities of daily care and provision for my family, then there is little room for activity in the spirit realm. That is why the Lord invites us to cast all our concerns on Him.

1 Peter 5:6, “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. In verse 7, the word for “care” in the Greek is “mer'-im-nah” which mean “anxiety” and it comes from the word “mer-id'-zo” which means “to divide or separate into pieces (through the idea of distraction).” Why do we experience so much anxiety? Because we have allowed the enemy to divide our attention into so many separate pieces we become overwhelmed. The word for “careth” in the Greek is “mel'-o” which means “to care about.” It is a verb which means it is an action word. Jesus actively cares for you and will intervene in our daily lives if we will allow Him to walk with us.

What the scriptures teach and what Jesus taught is that our physical world and our spiritual world are indisputably connected together. Activity in the physical realm affects activity in the spiritual and vis versa. Jesus understands our conflict and He wants to be part of our daily struggles. In the person of the Holy Ghost, He has become our provider, our comfort, our deliver, our healer and everything else that we need. Our walk with Christ is not a separate part of our journey in life. When we try to separate the two worlds we create difficulty for ourselves.

The world around us can be overwhelming at times, especially in the current state of world affairs. Many questions flood our minds as to what may happen next. If we focus on current events alone, we will become depressed, oppressed, discouraged and defeated. But when we allow the Holy Spirit to teach us how these events fit into prophecy and the end times, the uncertainty of our future is eliminated. We can move into a relationship with Christ where the spirit and physical realms connect in the prefect plan of God.

Write the vision and make it plain so that he who reads it may run with it. It is crucial that the message be shared, but how can I best accomplish this task? Ask the Lord to open doors to the venues of His choice and desire. Make a life long commitment! Lord show me the way and I will walk therein. You lead and I will follow without question! 

Holy Covering! by Myra Boozer

There is a covering sent down from the Father Above. It is the Presence of the Holy Spirit. It will hover over the Righteous and fill every void. It will filter out the world and the stinch of sin and corruption. It will dispense the "sweet smell" of Holiness upon the people of God bringing love, joy and peace upon the Believer. It cannot be bought or purchased in any store. It comes from the Father the one who sets people free...free from sin and condemnation. It is the all powerful work of God that He promised to those who seek NOT for the "Things" of this world but seek for the HEART of God and all that He has for us. His presence is priceless, far above rubies or treasures of this world...far above pleasures or longings of the flesh. It is not only a covering but an infilling of God's presence that will captivate you and your desires. All we need is to be covered or wrapped in His Presence...the Best Gift we could ever receive.

2 Cor. 9:15, “Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.”

Hope!

1 Cor. 15:19, “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.”

Word's of an old song from the early 70's comes to mind this evening as I ponder the condition of our world. It goes something like this, "Troublesome times are here, filling men's hearts with fear, freedom we all hold dear now is at stake. Humble your hearts to God, saves from the chastening rod, seek the way pilgrims trod, Christians awake.

Troubles will soon be o'er, happy for evermore, when we meet on that shore, free from all care. Rising up in the sky, telling this world goodbye, homeward we then will fly, glory to share.

Jesus is coming soon morning or night or noon, many will meet their doom, trumpets will sound. All of the dead will rise, righteous meet in the skies, I'm going where no one dies, heavenward bound."

We live in troubling times if all you see is this present conflict. Paul said, "if in this life only I have hope, I am of all men most miserable." We must have hope beyond what we see. And we do have hope if we have put our faith in Jesus Christ. The child of God has nothing to fear. Actually we should be excited that last days prophecies are being fulfilled and that "Jesus is coming soon..."

In the midst of all the turmoil everywhere, let us be thankful that Jesus has provided an escape for all who will receive. My prayer is that we the Body of Christ will reflect the glory of God is such a fashion that the unbelieving will see Christ and make that decision to follow Him. May the presence of the Holy Spirit be with you in every place.

Wake The Mighty Men!

Joel 3:9, “Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:”

This is a mighty spiritual war. Wake the mighty men! Call the ones who will agree together. Strong and mighty are those who will covenant together and be bound together by the cords of Truth.

Joel 3:10, “Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.”

Exchange your cultivating tools for tools of war. We must change our tactics. We must proceed as Nehemiah and those charged with rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem. Nehemiah 4:17, “They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon. 18 For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded...” They did the work with one hand and held a weapon in the other hand. They were prepared for the attack of the enemy at any time of the day or night.

It is time for an all out assault on the powers of darkness. Go now and snatch precious souls from the clutches of evil. Go in the power and might of the Lord Jesus Christ within you. Time is running out. We are coming near to the consummation of all things. Zech. 12:8, “In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.” Look for the signs of Christ’s coming in the events surrounding the nation of Israel. It is there that the fountain will be opened for the salvation of the house of David. Zech. 13:1, “In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.” A third part will come through the fire and be refined as precious metal. Israel will call upon God, He will hear them and He will say, “It is my people,” and they will say, “The Lord is my God.”

Joel 3:9-17 is a description of the campaign of Armageddon. V12, “Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.” The valley of Jehoshaphat refers to the Kidron valley East of Jerusalem. The name means, “Yahweh judges.” The campaign of Armageddon will be a campaign of God’s wrath and judgment. Joel 2:2, “A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.” This is the great Day of the Lord. Joel 3:13, “Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.”

Now is the time! Awake you mighty men! Go now and snatch precious souls from the clutches of evil. Go in the power and might of the Lord Jesus Christ within you. Time is running out. We are coming near to the consummation of all things.

Lord Jesus, Be Real In Me! by Myra Boozer

Wash me clean Lord and help me to see my motives in all I say and do. May my thoughts and actions come from you and not from any legalism or idea that I may have gathered along the way. For sometimes our concept of how to get your attention may not be what you want to hear at all. It is not necessarily the one that sings the best or has the best testimony of deliverance, for those things can make us feel good in our own eyes and distract us from what you're really looking for in us.

A man watches us and judges us by what he sees and hears, but You Lord, You judge our motives. Lord, it is not always in our accomplishments that we get your attention but in our weakness, in our deficiencies. It is in that time of facing a defeat that we cry out for your mercy and standing all alone we become very real with YOU. We need you to be very firm with us because our days are running out and we are coming to the DAY when we will stand before you the Righteous Judge and hear you call our Name. Our deeds will be judged righteous or wicked. I want to be clean and acceptable in your eyes, Lord because we cannot hide under a cloak of pretense. It will not matter what we or any one thinks of us but what you know about us. I want to be real with you Lord...never fake or phony...but genuine and pure...Amen. 

Be Still And Know (Encounter) God!

Psalm 46:1, “...God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. 4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. 6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. 9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. 10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 11The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.”

We need to know God! I mean we really need to experience God! We need more than an intellectual knowledge of the person in the Bible referred to as the “Lord God Jehovah.” We need a life changing encounter with Him that will put us on track to experience His Person every day of our lives.

We need to know God in such an intimate manner that He can give us specific instructions for this hour. Now is the time to pray and seek Him for individual direction and instructions for the Body of Christ. We cannot afford to delay or be negligent in this task. There is far too much at stake. The salvation of those we love and influence is at risk. How shall we escape if we neglect this great salvation. Time is short! Our deliverance is at hand!

Will you pray this prayer with me? “Lord Jesus Christ, I want to be still and hear Your Voice. Open our ears to hear Your Message for today. Bring forth in us Your Purpose and Will. Send Your Power to explode in the lives of those who will believe, sending forth the fragments of Your Glory penetrating the most formidable obstructions that Satan has built. Invade the darkness with the light of Your Presence, sending out disintegrating beams of Your Deliverance. As the rays of the sun warm and revive creation in the spring, may the rejuvenating Power of Your Love and Mercy call to life the sedentary soul. We pray this in the Name of Jesus, Amen!”

What God Has Ordained He Will Establish! by Myra Boozer

I love walls and gates. I love boundaries of protection with gates that open to new revelation or new experiences. In 2013 and before, we were praying, "Open the doors you want open Lord and close those you want closed." We have learned His Ways are so much better than ours and to Trust Him brings great Joy!

Now, today we are giving so much Praise and Honor to our Lord who opened the way for us to minister to the Whole World. We are so humbled and feel like David...whom God pulled from the fields all dirty and sweaty from tending to his Father's sheep...unworthy, unknown by many and just hidden away from all the crowds...but yet remembering what God had spoken to us on many occasions and He has made our calling and election very sure (confident, positive, absolute, certain without doubt, determine, ESTABLISH). We knew that in His time He would reveal to us His Will for these Last Days. I was reminded by a friend as she told me that God spoke these words to her 12 months ago, "What God ordains He will establish." Those whom God calls, He ordains, He consecrates with His anointing. It is not for us to question but to yield to His timing. For He will establish (to work or settle in a permanent place) build up, set up, install, to prove, verify, and confirm.

David's own family had no real confidence in him. When he went to the battlefield to serve them food, they knew him as their little brother doing the work that maybe they didn't want to do. He wasn't a popular person but he was a person who loved God and had seen first hand how God had protected him against the bear and the lion. David had a song in his heart that God loved to hear and God chose him to be anointed as the King of Israel..

To be a “nobody” is not so bad when God knows you by name and knows exactly where you are. He also knows He can depend on you to listen to His voice, be obedient and follow His commands when the Gate opens. At that point he will lead you into new and deeper revelation of Himself that you might be the witness that He ordained you to be. Whatever the task great or small...such an honor to be used of God to minister to others.

Satan Will Oppose You! by Myra Boozer

“Opposition to lives which are yielded to Jesus Christ takes many forms, some dramatic, some subtle. Satan is a clever angel of light but sometimes he chooses supernatural ways to frighten us into inactivity. During a time at camp with the girls, I was singing outside of the cabin after lights-out. The song had the words: ‘Don't be afraid for whatever is coming, your heavenly Father takes care of you.’ Suddenly I heard horrible noises around me. It seemed as if among the trees some sort of beings were trying to make me stop. The noises grew and subsided, sending shivers through my body with their weird tones. While I sang, I pleaded with the Lord: ‘Cover me and protect me with Your blood, Lord Jesus...give me strength to go on singing and speak through me to reach all these girls.’ The noises remained and got louder and more ugly, but I didn't stop. I knew that I stood on the front line of battle but through Jesus it was victory ground, not defeat or retreat. As soon as I finished the song, the noise stopped, just as abruptly as they began. I went to bed and thanked the Lord for His victory. The next morning I asked the girls if they had heard anything unusual the previous night. They answered that they had never heard me sing so beautifully. Nobody heard anything else.” This is taken from Corrie ten Boom's book IN MY FATHERS HOUSE..

My question is what is trying to stop you today? Don't let the troubles, trials or tribulations of this life or anything that Satan would throw in your path stop you from singing the Praises of our Lord...sing loud and with all your might, don't give up, we are almost HOME. Jesus said in this life we would have these troubles but to not be alarmed...because He overcame, so will we through His power that works in us. As we get closer to the return of the Lord the noise will become louder and louder from the opposition. It is time to arise and stand in the face of the enemy. The world's tactics (or armor) will not fit the Christian. Just like Saul's armor did not fit David, the Shepherd boy. It will take the leading, the direction and the unction of the Holy Spirit to defeat the enemy of our day just like it did in David's day. We must remember these words as we go out to defeat our giants... "NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER..FOR I GO IN THE NAME OF THE LORD GOD JEHOVAH...
