Distractions

-

 

There are a lot of things, people, circumstances, and situations that can be deemed as distractions…and quite frankly they probably are. The beginning of 2025 has shown us these things. There is a lot to pray about, a lot to cast down, out, and destroy, and a lot that has worn people out. 


People are becoming distracted with the latest prophecy, the latest terrorist attack, and the latest encounter. I have seen this pulling away from the image of Christ, from God’s person, and it’s happening at an alarming and fast rate. There seems to be a focus on everything but Jesus. 


Heavy disclaimer: if you are being led to do whatever God has truly called you to do at that moment, then do it, but there just seems to be an overload. When there is an overload, it tends to lead to confusion and a lack of focus. When I see an overload of events taking place, or sense a lot occurring all at once, it’s time to increase my own personal prayer time.


Matthew 14:23

“After He had sent the crowds away, He went up the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone.”


Matthew 14:13

“Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard of this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.”


Matthew 26:36

“Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, ‘Sit here while I go over there and pray.’” 


A heightened spiritual sensitivity should signify a closer, more intimate relationship with God. This, in itself, would be a test of character and a carrier of secrets. What can be released. What cannot be released. What’s just between you and the Lord. 


I have mentioned this before, and to myself sometimes sound like a broken record, but let us all not lose focus on the mission of Jesus Christ: to bring the lost in to a closer walk and relationship with Him making them disciples. 


***Let’s Pray!!! Father, from what we see in the spiritual and natural realm, we will pray over and become good stewards. Keep us grounded in you. Let us not go too far off where we lose focus of where we came from. Father, we are but broken vessels used to proclaim your message whenever you have given us your “yes”. Lord, open our eyes and remove the veils so we can see what is going on in the spiritual realm. Help us to look through your lens of love for your people. Help us to be mighty intercessors as our brother Jesus Christ. Lead us to prayer and not people. Father, lead us to you. We want to be filled, overfilled, and refilled by you on a daily. Father, let your Word be our daily bread. Let your Presence be our manna. We love you and honor you. In Jesus’ Name we pray—Amen.***

Pharmakeia

  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...
