Leaving No Room! 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 in what we allow in our hearts and our thoughts. Stay full of God and the Holy Spirit then there is no room for Satan. The Spirit will warn us when Satan is knocking on our door wanting to come in thru the media or thru unforgiveness, idolatry, pride, and unbelief, to name a few. There are so many ways he will try to enter our minds and take up residence in our hearts. Don't answer when he comes knocking. If you do answer, make sure you answer with scripture! Luke 4:8 "Get thee behind me Satan for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." We live in a world of sin and corruption everywhere we look and we must stay away from it. We cannot partake of sin and remain pure, holy and Godly.

A well-known evangelist said after receiving Christ in his life, some of his past friends came by wanting him to do drugs with them. He thought about it and said, I would have to lay down what God has done for me in order to go with you guys today. He felt it was not worth the trade! "He washed me clean and gave me back my life. I can't go back to my old ways of living.” Thankfully he would not consider giving up his "New Life" in Christ for the pleasure of sin. The sin that had almost killed him. He was used by God to win many souls during the Pensacola Brownsville Revival.

Remember we are in training for the Lord's Army. When we fall down, we get back up. Never give up on God. Keep striving for the goal. Philippians 4:13, "I CAN do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." With the help of our Lord we will remain faithful to Him and the calling He has on our lives. 

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. 

"Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path," Psalm 119:105. Guard your heart and thoughts so they are filled with God...LEAVING NO ROOM IN YOUR LIFE FOR SATAN!

God Is Holy! So Are His Children!

Ephesians 5:25, “...Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”

Holiness is a New Testament teaching and has become a serious issue in the 21st-century church. If we believe and accept the Bible we must declare that holiness is an absolute in the Body of Christ. The Body of Christ is the Bride of Christ and is destined to be presented to Christ as a holy bride washed in the blood of the lamb.

There appears to be some confusion among secular churches about the definition of “holiness.” How can we embrace holiness and sin at the same time? Sure, we need to identify with the struggles of the sinner but we cannot accept the life of sin. And neither can the sinner if he or she wants to be truly free. Sin is a weight. Its destructive powers are like malignant cancer with its invasive tentacles reaching into every fiber of the human body. 
Cancer must be identified and eradicated. It is the work of the Holy Ghost to identify the sin in us. It is the work of the same Holy Ghost to destroy the sin as one repents and walks in the redeeming power of the blood of Jesus bringing captive every thought and deed.

We must serve notice to Satan. We must tell him that he cannot exert his influence in our lives. He needs to know that he is not welcome. He needs to feel the fervor of the Holy Spirit when he comes calling. He needs to know that this house is under the supervision of the Lord God Almighty. 

Holiness is not adherence to a creed, doctrine or religious ritual. Holiness is the result of spiritual transformation created in the heart of the believer by the indwelling of the Spirit of God. Thereby the believer becomes a new creation in Christ Jesus, born anew from above. John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Holiness is an attribute of the new heart created in the life of the believer. Being born from above, the believer receives his guidance from our Father above and reflects that guidance in every facet of his life. The child will manifest the attributes of the father! The Father Is Holy! So Are His Children!

A New Day Is Dawning For The (Body Of Christ) Child Of God! by Myra Boozer

Romans 8:22, “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.”

The labor pains have begun. We will give birth by The Spirit, just like Mary. Travail is coming but so is Joy. Psalm 30:5, ”Sorrow may last for the night but joy comes in the morning.” As our world is in great transition for its new world order so are we, the Body of Christ, doing away with the old dead rituals bringing in the New Life in the Spirit.

There has always been a counterfeit for what God is doing and it's no different in these Last Days. Satan is working overtime with his evil and his ploy to destroy mankind with his “False Security” of a new world order and a new life.

Satan offers you freedom “to” sin. Dark and Corrupt sin is what's for sale at the" Table" of this new world order, utter darkness, no life, and no hope. Millions are falling for this rainbow colored gift being offered at the “hands of this regime” of the Evil One. Blood is dripping from their hands. They have no shame, no regrets, no regard for “life” and decency, no regard for the “living.” The innocent are a revelation to them of who they really are. They feel they must destroy them (the innocents) to get rid of the holy and just (Christians) just as they could not regard Jesus and sought to kill Him from the time of His birth. But, the Father, God had a plan for His Son.

God has a plan for the Bride of Christ also. She with Christ will bring in the “Real” New World Order as She offers Hope, Life, Joy, and Peace at “The Table of Forgiveness.”
Which are you buying today? You still have a choice to receive Truth or the counterfeit. Time is running out! Submit to the one who offers Real Life, not just the facade or picture of life but True Life where no evil abounds, where all is pure, holy and righteous. 

You may say, "I'm not choosing!” You are choosing! Jesus gave the command to his brother from the cross. John 19:27, “Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.” The job for him was to behold their mother who represents all that’s innocent, pure and holy. Jesus is our elder brother. He has given us the same command to care, and to behold those who have fallen under the burdens of this life, overcome by the taskmaster of Sin who seems to have taken charge. But, not so! We need to behold them and tell them the “Real” New World Order is coming through Jesus Christ. Be ready for in such an hour as you think not, the Son of Man will come in righteousness to finish what His Father sent Him to do. This Righteous Kingdom will rule and the false will go down and be destroyed in outer darkness.

Disconnected From Our Creator! Conclusion

Do you ever feel that you are disconnected from God? By virtue of our beginning, we are the creation of God. We are created to walk in intimate communion with our creator. Thereby, we are connected to Him who created us in love and who is all-sufficient in all things to care for us. 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). Ephesians 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 must 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 because of His sacrifice, He will forgive our sin. Thus, we are reconnected to God through Christ. Consequently, God wants to walk with us in an 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.

God, through 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. Therefore, there is no disconnect between God and a born again follower of Jesus Christ! Disconnected From God? Call upon Jesus and be reconnected!

A Prickly Nest! by Myra Boozer

As I recall, a Mother bird pulls out all the fluff and makes the nest prickly before those young birds want to take flight. I really think God is doing that for us today! It is getting mighty hard to feel at home in this world anymore. God knows that many are fearful of the unknown and leaving the place we have grown accustomed to is not highly favored or on our bucket list.

When you wake up and hear of so much hatred and evil happening all over the world even in your own hometown, you wonder what will happen next! It's just not a safe and peaceful environment anymore. Too many angry people are fighting to voice their opinion and do their thing no matter who it hurts.

People are arguing about politics and politicians as though they are going to change someone's mind. It isn't really going to happen. Those who have their minds made up will continue until God shows them differently.

How can people declare to be Christian and say they are looking for the return of Christ when they condone the evil acts and deeds that plainly go against the Word of God? I don't see them changing by my conversation. It will take strong conviction for people to change.

Sinful deeds and those who condone those deeds are in the same category. It is not okay to go against the Word of God for any reason. When the Word is mocked as is being done today by people who call themselves Christian and stand for a woman's right to abortion they are denying the Word of God and putting judgment upon their heads. The word clearly states "thou shalt not kill." 

A true child of God wants no part of what is going on especially when politicians push for late-term abortions and claim to be "Christian." Yes, God is allowing the fluff to be removed and the thorny world we live in is piercing our very souls because of the evil that is taking charge.

A Mighty Wind!

It was a hot summer morning in mid-August in the South. You could say that it was a typical day for the season, high humidity with little to no wind. I went about my business without really giving attention to these details but that was about to change.

I stood in quiet solitude and listened to the trees leaves as they began to respond to a slight breeze. It was as though they were individual instruments in a grand symphony, the pitch and tempo rising and falling but in perfect harmony, each separate but still in sync.

The wind was slight at first, barely noticeable except for the song the leaves sang. I began to feel the cool wind as it caressed my face and hair. The sensation grew in intensity! The wind blew stronger and then subsided. It came in pulsating bursts, strong enough to take the hat from my head and then at rest.

I observed and felt this scenario repeated for several moments. And then, a voice spoke into my spirit, “a rushing mighty wind.” Yes Lord, I know it is You and I hear what You are saying! Our Lord, Jesus Christ wants to reveal Himself through the Holy Ghost to change our world. His desire is to fill you and me with the Holy Ghost, endue with power (His Power) from on high, and turn our world upside down. He wants the world to acknowledge His presence in us.

Jesus’ instructions to His disciples had been to go to Jerusalem and tarry (pray) until the Holy Ghost comes. Luke 24:49, “And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.” The Holy Ghost is the power part of our commission to spread the Gospel message. 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.”

Jesus fulfilled His promise in Acts 2:1, “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” The presence of the Holy Ghost was “a rushing mighty wind.” That is the way Christ wants to affect our world today. This rushing mighty wind of God changed the world in the lifetime of those very disciples.

In Acts 17, the Gospel message had met with tremendous opposition. The messengers of the Gospel put their lives at stake. The unbelieving Jews of Thessalonica were so indifferent to the Gospel that they sought to take Paul and Silas and give them to the angry crowd. Acts 17:6, “And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;” The unbelievers were compelled to declare that these Christians had turned the world upside down and had come to their city to do the same. 

I would to God that it could be said of this present generation of Christians, they have turned the world upside down for Jesus Christ. However, if we are to be instruments of this harvest, we must be endued with power. It will take being filled with the Holy Ghost, “the rushing mighty wind,” to fulfill Jesus’ commission and finish our mission in these last days. Only the power of the Holy Ghost can seal and protect us from the darkness and evil that has flooded this world. The Holy Ghost in us will make us victorious in this spiritual war. Lord, send Your Mighty Wind upon us!

How Long Will God Continue? by Myra Boozer

How long will God continue in His mercy and give this country time to Repent? How long will He wait? We do not know! He has given time for individuals to fall before Him in repentance for their sins. But for a Nation to go against His laws and commands is a different story. I feel judgment is coming on America for all the sin that is parading around as something good when it is an abomination! Not only in this country but other countries are defying the laws of God. God will not wait long! He will do as He has done in the past. I think JUDGMENT will come quickly.

Some may go thru the fire and call upon His Name being purified by the fire. Others will continue in sin and will regret that they have NOT taken the time to repent when the Spirit was pleading and convicting their hearts. Many Christians, saints of God are giving their lives today and suffering much persecution because they have not denied the Name of Christ. Then there is the rest of the living righteous, the blood-bought Church, the Body of Christ who has made herself ready. She will be taken in a moment and twinkling of an eye to meet the Bridegroom.

There were seven Churches of Asia that are written about in the first three chapters of Revelation. Jesus named the things that He had against six of the churches and ask them to repent. He was telling them to listen to what the SPIRIT HAD TO SAY TO THEM BUT NOTICE the Church in Philadelphia. He said in Rev. 3:8, “I know thy works: behold I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, (his), and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation...” (2 Peter 2:9, “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly, out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.”) Rev. 3:10b, “...which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY hold fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” 

Notice Rev. 4....and see what John has to say about seeing the open door...saw the throne and the four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment (clothes) and had their crowns on their heads...the crown that Jesus said, "Let no man take thy crown." Praise the Lord! He is coming...BE READY for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man is coming...How Long Will God Continue?
