Identity

2 Corinthians 3:18 (NASB)

"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit." 

There has been a common theme lately of coming into the true identity of Jesus Christ. My spiritual father has spoken on this, prophets around have touched on it, and this topic has also been "randomly" brought up in conversation. 

There's a pursuance from the Father on us to really understand and get to know who we really are, and He is using anything and anyone to relay the message. Let not your hearts be guarded with pride or arrogance because the messenger wasn't who you expected it to be. Indirectly, you could be blocking your own blessing and opportunity to come in closer to Jesus. 

The enemy is saying and pushing one religion, one sex, one mind of perversion, and putting all of this in a frame calling this ugly painting "unity" and "love". I truly believe the push behind us truly knowing who we are in Christ is to first return back to our first love. Second, the push is because of the mounting confusion that is being pushed in our faces day-by-day. We need to stay grounded in the Word of God. 

We will, sooner than later, have to stand up for our identity in Jesus and for Jesus alone. I truly believe, when given the opportunity, that God will place a holy boldness in His children when faced with adversity concerning this matter. Like Jesus, we will be tested, questioned, and probed to see how strong our faith really is, and our response will need to be in love and the character of Jesus. 

Study how Jesus responded to the Pharisees and Sadducees. There was education, revelation, rebuke, and signs to follow. Following Jesus and how He lived His life while here on earth will transform you. Of course this means spending time with Him. We all have the time. The question is: Just how much of that time are you willing to sacrifice?

***Let's Pray!!! Lord, we just thank you for always pursuing us. We repent for not being the ones actively pursuing you. We don't want, nor need, a one-sided relationship with you, but we want to partner with you...work with you. Lead us into deeper realms of intimacy with you. We know that there is no end to you and what you are capable of. Build in us the strength and boldness to not sway or turn aside from you when the heat rises. Help us to remain on fire for you. You are our everything, our protector, our shield, our provider, and our fortress. Help us stand on your truths written in your Word. Let us the live the Holy Spirit-breathed scripture to the fullest, knowing this is what we are supposed to be doing anyway and that it is marvelous in your sight. We want to be pleasing in your sight Father and known by you. When you look at us, we pray that you see your reflection clearly. In Jesus' Name we pray---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...
