All In

-

     Genesis 22:12 (NASB)- "He said, 'Do not stretch your hand out against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son from Me'."

    Matthew 19:21-22 (NASB)- "Jesus said to him, 'If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.' But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property." 

    In alignment with the revivals all around the globe, God is really looking for who is really all in. I know I sound like a broken record, but the genuinity and authenticity of your relationship with Jesus determines how far you are willing to go for the Lord. Are you willing to give up the regular comforts of life? This walk is not for the weak at heart. This is why Jesus mentioned, "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it." (Matthew 7:13-14, NASB). 

    I don't mean to sound like a "doom-and-gloom" individual, but the subject has been in my spirit lately, and the title just came to me before starting to write. There's a rise of God's move in the midst of chaos, but also the Lord's heart is aching for the believers and unbelievers who aren't solely dedicated to Him. There are idols in His place.The question arises again, "Are you all in?" I ask myself this question, reflecting on how close my relationship really is with Jesus. Is Jesus my all and all, like we like to sing in our songs? If we only had Jesus and nothing else, while still here on this earth, would our songs and attitude be the same? Would there still be adoration and worship to the Lord? Would anything else even matter? 

    There are a lot of sayings we have to the Lord and how much we don't need anything (or anyone) else but Him i.e. "If Jesus doesn't do anything else, He's already done enough". Lol, you know you lying 😄. Furthermore, am I willing to be obedient to the Lord at any cost? Can He trust Me to just go? These, amongst all the other questions, are questions we should be asking ourselves, because the time is coming when these questions and the following answers will be highly necessary (and probably already are to some).  

    I encourage you to dig deep in time spent with Jesus in prayer, studying the Bible, and meditating on His Word. There's guidance, revelation, and even solutions to those small things we make big. The closer you get to Him, the harder it'll be to even want to walk away. You'll want to know Jesus more and more. That relationship, once begun, has an everlasting effect that can't and won't be ignored. Proverbs 18:24 (NASB)- "A man of too many friends comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." 

***Let's Pray!!! 💝 Dear Lord, thank you for the time you spend with us just to be with us, even when we don't acknowledge you. Father, you take the time with us in our stubbornness, just so we can get it right with you. Thank for your Fatherly discipline, even when it seems unfair. Lord, you use different situations in order that we grow. You want us to walk and talk like Kingdom citizens, so we are forever grateful for this molding you continuously do to, through, and for us. God, you are a keeper, a lover, and a friend. Let's not forget how much you have sacrificed through your Son so that we may have eternal life and not death. Father, we wave our hands high and volunteer for this walk you've called us to. We know it may look crazy to some, but you haven't called us to fit in but to stand out. You have called us to stand out for your glory and your glory alone. Thank you that the craziness we do for you will turn into the answers that people will need. Let us trust you when you say "go", and do what you've called us to do in quick obedience without hesitation. We love you Lord and we honor you. In Jesus' Name-Amen.***

  The use or the administering of drugs Poisoning Sorcery, magical arts, often found in connection with idolatry and fostered by it Metaph. The deceptions and seductions of idolatry Revelation 18:23 (KJV) “And the light of a candle shall shine: no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”  As a nurse who truly believes in the healing power of Jesus Christ, I do struggle with handling and administering drugs to my patients. At the same time, I’m praying for their bodies to be completely healed and delivered from the spirit of death or whatever else is currently attacking their bodies. We don’t always know the decrees over someone’s life, but from what we see, we can always pray against it.  “Am I poisoning my patients? Am I a partaker of witchcraft?” These are the questions that try to run through my mind. I...

Weight in the Waiting

Hebrews 12:8 (TPT) “We all should welcome God’s discipline as the validation of authentic sonship. For if we have never once endured his correction it only proves we are strangers and not sons.”  What a pleasure it is to wait When you know what is being done When you know, realize, and appreciate God’s handiwork How He’s adding, subtracting, dividing all for your good It may hurt to wait But what a pleasure in the end to see the fruit of your labor To see the weight that has been added Through mantles, glory, and the more To see new uniforms, weaponry all for the moments ahead What a pleasure it is to be in the waiting room The waiting room to analyze, to study, to meditate, and to pray To fast, to discover, and to (most importantly) build a relationship with Jesus What a pleasure What a pleasure it is to sit back and observe everything God has already done And continues to do And is in the process of doing It’s done! It’s not in who can get there faster It’s appreciating the proce...

Mass Unveiling

  “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.” (Joel 2:28-29, KJV) “For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.” (Luke 12:2, KJV) There is such a massive unveiling; unveiling of peoples’ hearts, minds, eyes, perspectives, language, and the more. This unveiling is bringing such a sobering and humbling effect to everyone’s viewpoint and perspective of life. Even those who are not saved and don’t believe in Jesus Christ are being “unveiled” in a sense. They are seeing things and the facts of life from God’s perspective without even knowing it’s from Jesus! We were made from and in the image of our Father in heaven. We have the same attributes as Him; more and more people across the globe are com...
