     Blessed- (Greek translation-makarios): happy, fortunate, prosperous, well-off


"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdomof heaven" (Matthew 5:3, NASB).    👉  

                Happy is the person who owns their 

               emptiness without God. 

             They know without Him,

                 The kingdom of heaven is of naught.

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be  comforted" (Matthew 5:4, NASB).    👉

                      Fortunate is the one when times are hard 

                        When sadness tends to linger     

                    To be comforted by the Holy Spirit

                           And just the touch of His finger      

"Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5, NASB). 👉  

  Prosperous are you 

   For not being abrasive

       You were humble at all times

         The earth is yours, be invasive 

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied" (Matthew 5:6, NASB).  👉

Well-off are those 

    Hungry and thirsty for Jesus

          Who pursue Him with their everything

                 In and outside of our being, He has pleased us 

"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy" (Matthew 5:7, NASB). 👉 

Blessed are those 

  Who are tenderhearted

     They love as Jesus loves

         They shall reap what was started

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8, NASB). 👉 

Fortunate are they

 Pure in their hearts

      They know without doubting

            They will behold the Lord who never parts

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God" (Matthew 5:9, NASB).   👉 

Well-off are those

  Who make peace wherever they go

    It doesn't matter where

       They're known as sons of God to and fro

"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for  the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:10, NASB).   👉

Happy is the one

                                                                       Afflicted for Jesus

                                                           We know now and looking ahead

                                                           He is the only one who has freed us

"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me" (Matthew 5:11, NASB).  👉 

Prosperous are those

Who hate you for Jesus' sake

 You keep living only for Him

    The distinction will not be a mistake


"Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you" (Matthew 5:12, NASB). 

Blessed are you who follow these principles and characteristics of Jesus Christ. Who live accordingly and genuinely, without any ill-intent or hidden agenda. You just want to love on others, be there for others, and genuinely mean it. Follow His ways, and not that of your own. See the fruit of your labor, and know that it is good. See that the harvest is plenty, and go to work. What will be your answer to God when He asks you what you've done with His harvest? What will your answer be when God asks you what you've done with your blessings He blessed you for others with? What will be your answer? Blessed are you who do the works of the Lord. Blessed are you!


***Let's Pray!!! 💖 Dear Lord, thank you for staying near and dear to us. You never leave Lord and you never ever forsake. We just want to acknowledge you for being the big, great God that you are. You say we are blessed for literally just being a person after your heart. A person who authentically wants to follow the footsteps of Jesus Christ in His personhood. Whew! My goodness. Thank you Jesus for being the ultimate, only example of what it truly looks like to work in the kingdom, to serve in the kingdom, and to literally look like you. My goodness! To bring down, like we're grabbing clothes from the closet, blessings from heaven here to earth easy. There's no hassle, there's no tussle, because God your heaven lies within us. The kingdom of heaven is in us. Help us to tap into these miracle-working spirits that you have blessed us with. Help us to tap into these creative miracles you have blessed us to do. God! You have called us to be more than what we are doing. To be more than what we can even imagine. To be more! God, we will move forward. We will see and step into all that is not just for us, but for our families. Not just for us, but for the nations. God, we recognize the assignment and we take hold and go. In the mighty Name of Jesus Christ-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...
