DECLARE AND RECEIVE YOUR BLESSINGS

John 1:1-5 King James Version (KJV)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

² The same was in the beginning with God.

³ All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

⁵ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness

comprehended it not.

If you have been living less than blessed you can turn your life around right now. Receive all God has provided thru the blessing.

The blessing of the Lord is God’s original plan for you. Contrary to popular belief He doesn’t want you sick, broke or lonely.

He wants to make every area of your life rich with his blessings: Your health, finances, relationships and much more. Living in the blessings is Gods will for you. It has been this way since the beginning of time.

Genesis 1:1-3 King James Version (KJV)

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

² And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

³ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Isaiah 55:11King James Version (KJV)

¹¹ So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

This is more than a history lesson. These words set the stage for everything we need.It is telling us that God is the creator of the universe and he initiated it by releasing light with His word.

Philippians 2:15King James Version (KJV)

¹⁵ That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

When God said light be, he set a massive plan into motion. The almighty released enough power to cause the universe to explode into being. He released the power of light.

What was the light God released on day one? It couldn’t have been the moon and stars or the sun; they were not created until the fourth day.

It was the light of his own glory, the essence of God himself, of His presence and His substance.

Psalm 112:1-4 King James Version (KJV)

112 Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

² His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

³ Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

⁴ Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

Deuteronomy 28:1-14King James Version (KJV)

28 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

² And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

³ Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

⁴ Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

⁵ Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.

⁶ Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

⁷ The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

⁸ The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

⁹ The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.

¹⁰ And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.

¹¹ And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

¹² The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

¹³ And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

¹⁴ And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Speak to that devil and his worldly adversities; remind them that greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

You are the head and not the tail. Be strong in the Lord. You are the first and not the last.

You are above and not beneath.

You are a Kings kid and heir to the kingdom.

You are chosen and loved by God.

You are protected by God no weapon formed against you              

          Shall prosper.

So come into alignment with the Word of God, the will of  

              God and the purpose God has for your life.

Every day is a perfect and good gift that comes from God

HEALING

HEALING

Today America is in such turmoil until people are under a burden of stress.

Once under stress it turns to anger and anger causes your body to release toxins into your system. A lot of sickness and diseases are related to anger and stress.

It is hard to have joy in your life if you are sick all the time and you can certainly have no peace of mind. We all need to remember that the joy of the Lord is our strength.

Nehemiah 8:10King James Version (KJV)

¹⁰ Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of theLord is your strength.

We are blessed with doctors, but they are only practicing medicine. God created us and he is the ultimate healer. He is the great healer.

There are two systems: the worlds system and the Kingdom of Gods system.

Each one of us has to make the choice of which system they are going to follow.

The worlds system has limits. God’s kingdom system has no limits.

We are in the worlds system and wind up getting into debt, and then we go to Jesus to bail us out. In other words we are in bondage in the worlds system. It takes the kingdom of God to get us out of bondage.

We need to learn that faith is the law of the Kingdom of God. Faith moves God. Faith brings things from God’s kingdom into our lives.

Christians need to practice their faith. Doctors practice medicine, lawyers practice law.

I had a shocking revelation. Not everyone wants to live by faith. But if you do want to live by faith you need to know that faith can not go beyond your knowledge of the revealed word of God.

If you want healing, you must know from the word what its promises about healing are. Healing is received by faith and healing is kept by faith.

Even in the natural realm nothing is guaranteed unless it is used according to directions.

In the faith realm nothing is guaranteed until it is acted on in faith.

By His word God speaks life to them that finds Him and health not only to the soul but to the body. Not part of it but all our flesh.

He is the physician of infinite ability who heals all our diseases.

Seek Him in the word. Stand in faith on His promises. He will meet you there in your faith.

OUR JOURNEY TO ISRAEL

OUR  JOURNEY TO ISRAEL

DAY ONE

We were so excited! Awake at six am. Our plane from Reno Nevada to Phoenix  Arizona was scheduled to leave at 9:30.

Got our bags into the car drove excitedly to the airport. Our son in law dropped us at the curb. One last check, did we have everything? Andy where is your passport? Left it on the dresser. Our son in law hurries home to get the forgotten pass port.

We are finally in line to check our baggage. Whew, what a relief.

Finally at the security check in got through with our carry-on luggage. Wait where is Andy? Oh no he’s having trouble getting through security. His badge set off the alarms. When he got through they were checking to see what he had up his shirt sleeve. Ok guys it is his muscles. Ha, ha. what a surprise they got.

We all had a great laugh about that. We were so excited to be on our way to Israel at last. When we boarded the plane I thought this is really happening.

We landed in Phoenix two hours later and caught our next plane to Philadelphia. Another five hours in flight to get to Philadelphia where we will catch our connection to Israel.  When we landed I thought so far we have logged in seven hours flying.

We had spent eleven hours in flight on this plane. By the time we touched down in Israel I was very ready to touch planet earth again. It had been more than 24 hours since we left home.

Looking out of the windows of the plane I could see that Tel Aviv was beautiful. I  could see the Mediterranean Sea. It was breath taking. I could see green farms, producing food for Israel. I could see tall buildings, a bustling city. My heart beat faster seeing how beautiful it all was.

Our guide company had someone meet us at the air port and take us to the hotel where we would be staying overnight . It was called the Cinema Hotel. It was made from an old movie house and was redone beautifully. They preserved some of the old movie equipment and put it on display.

We had time for a quick shower and a short nap before dinner. Meals were provided by the tour company.

It was amazing, the food I mean. Lots of vegetables meats and bread.  The food was good. What I like to call wholesome.

We met our tour guide and the other people that would be on the tour with us. Our guides name was Ophir, not only was he handsome, he was friendly and informative. 

He had a great wealth of knowledge about his country to impart to us on our Israel adventure. He gave us all the information we would need for our first day on tour.   

Our tour group consisted of 14 people. They all seemed very nice. I could tell I was going to like this group of people.

THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU

THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU

Believers today have totally under estimated the power of the Holy Spirit. If you are wondering how you can be sure of that, it is quite simple

If we truly understood and believed what the bible tells us about Him we would not ever worry about anything.

All that hell has to offer could come against us and we wouldn’t fear.

1 John 4:4King James Version (KJV)

⁴ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Who are they referring to in this verse? It is not referring to God, because God is in heaven. It is not referring to Jesus because he is sitting at the right hand side of God in heaven.

John is referring to the Holy Spirit here. The he is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is omnipresent, meaning he can be at all places at all times.

The greater one, the comforter that lives within the believer has given us all the wisdom, strength, power and provision that we need.

Right now you may think you could never have that kind of boldness.

What would you do if Jesus appeared to you today and linked His arm in yours and told you that from now on He would be physically present with you in every situation?

If you became sick, he would lay his had on you and heal you.

If you ran short of money, he would pray and multiply your resources

Any problem you encountered that you did not know what to do, he would tell you how to handle it.

Under those circumstances you would be very bold and confident. Any time you ran into trouble, you would see Jesus standing next to you … suddenly you would have great courage.

The fact is we don’t have the advantage of Jesus physically walking with us. We do have something better, Jesus said so himself.

John 14:12-21King James Version (KJV)

¹² Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

¹³ And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

¹⁴ If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

¹⁵ If ye love me, keep my commandments.

¹⁶ And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

¹⁷ Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

¹⁸ I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

¹⁹ Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

²⁰ At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

²¹ He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

When the Holy Spirit moves on a situation, He does it with Wisdom and understanding so vast that it staggers the Human Mind.

At sometime in your life you might have asked, then why hasn’t he helped me before? Heaven knows I’ve needed it.

He has been waiting for you to give Him something to work with. He has been waiting there inside of you all this time, waiting for you to just speak the word of God in faith.

That has been His roll since the beginning and when you made Jesus the Lord of your life, the Holy Spirit connected you to the power of God.

That’s His job. He moves on Gods word and delivers the power necessary to cause that word to manifest in the earth.

That’s what he did at creation, and that is what he is commissioned to do for you.

Remember He is your helper, not your dominator. If you are walking around talking

doubt and unbelief, he is severely limited in what He can do for your life.

You need to develop and awareness of the reality of the Holy Spirit within you. Stop meditating on the problem that you are facing and start meditation on the power of the one inside you who is able to solve the problem.

Ephesians 3:20King James Version (KJV)

²⁰ Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

It is speaking about the power of the Holy Spirit being able to do all things above what we ask or think. According to the power you have within you.

You need to start building your faith in that power instead of always gazing toward Heaven saying God why don’t you help me.

Look at yourself in the mirror and say; the spirit of God lives inside of me, today and I expect Him to do wise, wonderful, amazing and miraculous things through me.

A Visit to Israel.

My husband and I recently went to Israel. It was a wonderful experience. We learned so much about the times in which Jesus lived.

According to what I saw life in the days of Jesus was a hard physical life. There was much to be done to provide for ones family.

We live better than Kings did in those days.  We have warm homes and we don’t have to walk where we want to go, we have cars or buses to get around in. This is Nimrods castle. Cold stone.

Being in Israel gave me an enormous gratitude for what I have. Starting next week I will put a short story about each place we visited.

I am looking forward to sharing our experience with you.

YOU CAN HAVE A MIRACLE

YOU CAN HAVE A MIRACLE

3 John 2King James Version (KJV)² Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth

Throughout the word of God we find promises for our healing and health. It is God’s will for us to be well, and enjoy good health and life in it’s fullest.

Only, when we know and understand God’s promises, can we apply them to our health and lives.

Romans 10:17King James Version (KJV)¹⁷ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

The bible promises healing and health for Gods children

In the natural, nothing is guaranteed unless it is used according to the directions of the word. When you go against the directions you make the guarantee invalid.

Psalm 91:3King James Version (KJV)

³ Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

This goes on to say that no evil will befall us nor any plague come near our household.

If that is true why are so many people sick? The word says that Angels will be dispersed to protect us.

Matthew 7:7King James Version (KJV)⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Many times we receive our healing and Satan comes along and steals it. How?

He encourages us to speak faith destroying words of doubt. When you confess sickness, it actually shows that you believe in sickness more than you believe in God.

By confessing words of belief we find that God healed us and is sustaining us and keeping us healthy. He can sustain us for a day, a month, a year, even a lifetime. It is according to our faith.

Just as healing is received by faith it is also maintained by faith. Once healed equip your self with the truth of Gods promises. Thereby we continue our walk in health.

Building on Gods promises will help us to continue to build our faith and continue to help us keep our miracle of healing. Here are five faith facts

·       faith is vital to your health

·       healing is received by faith

·       healing is kept by faith

·       Faith does not deny fact, it changes it.

·       Faith is not something that comes by prayer, rather by Gods word. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word.

The word hearing here suggests that we must continually hear the Word of God.
