VICTORY!

So, on the evening of Friday, August 23, 2013, God opened a door that is beyond my imagination.  I’ll share details when I can.  But rest assured that the Holy Spirit knew that morning that “sumpin good was happnin”!   Go read the blog from that morning to refresh your mind of that date's blog. 

Thank You Jesus for your Blessings!  =)

Today what is on my heart is the lives of the most mightily used people in the bible.  God used lives of regular people and, in them, performed extraordinary examples of forgiveness, restoration, deliverance, love, light and life.  Take Paul in Galations  . . .

It doesn’t matter what we’ve done – We have been forgiven thru Christ’s Grace (Gal 1:4)!  When we believe and receive God's salvation - our life is never the same. 

Paul was saved and called by God and not man (Gal 1:1).  Paul once persecuted God’s people but after he met Christ – He preached the Good news of Christ (Gal 1:12).  Paul reflects that not only are we saved and called of God but we should only seek to please God – and not man (Gal 1:10).

After salvation and the life of freedom in Christ, others may want to drag us back into bondage.  We see in Gal 2:4 this happened to Paul.  So, let us use Paul as a guide into our own lives. 

Personally, this speaks volume to me:

1.      We have been redeemed, thru Christ, of the old life of bondage and set free.  God’s Grace thru our faith.  Christ on the Cross and not of our works (or lack of works).

2.      We are delivered to share the good news of Christ.  Walking in our calling and keeping our Faith in Christ allows Love and good news to shine in our lives. Others see God’s manifestation in us.  We are His vessel.  His greatness shines thru us.

I’m also encouraged with the following scriptures to go along with this message:  

2 Cor 5:17  -  We are new in Christ.  Old things are passed away, all things become new.

I John 4:17  -  As Christ is, so are we!   He is the “I am” and he is the “One”.

I John 4:4  -  We are of God and have overcome.  Greater are we because Christ is in us!

Oh shall we live our lives VICTORIOUSLY in Christ!   TODAY – we have been forgiven!  TODAY is new!  TODAY shall we reflect the life of Paul and STAND in who we are in Christ and rebuke the desires of man upon our lives.

Shall we stand with our arms outstretch with our head reared back and shout from the rooftops . . .

“i am One . . .

who has been miraculously, significantly and purposefully

created; and God loves me unconditionally! 

And that, my friends, IS ENOUGH!”

Blessings to you all!  Have a great weekend! 

In Great Anticipation

Today as soon as my eyes "popped" open - my heart leaped in anticipation of God's manifestation - TODAY! 

There is something GREAT happening today.  I know it down to my bones. 

This morning I was asked by a friend "what are you doing"?  

She was referring to my current season of life; living in unspeakable joy and excitement for life.

My reply was, "I'm speaking and believing God's Word - His Promises and Blessings and choosing to walk in my God-given authority".

I will share a bit what that statement means . . .

At 10 years old I was miraculously saved.  I remember looking down at my toes to see if they were "lit up" because it felt like electricity was running throughout my body. Oh what a beautiful day!  I was saved! 

From that moment on -  the enemy tried to lie to me and defeat me and magnify all things in my life that would reflect lack, defeat, shame, guilt and that I was "never enough" nor "would I ever be".

At 35 years old my life drastically began being transformed.  I began learning that those were all lies of the enemy.  I began learning the POWER of God's Word - Speaking it, believing it and trusting in it.  I learned that scripture teaches us that we have the power to speak "life" or death (Proverbs 18:21).  And that we were created for greatness and abundance in Him!

Once I began to learn, thru God's Word, that He loves us soooooooooooooooooooo much!  He adores us!  He's not mad at us!  He calls us friend.  He calls us daughters.  He calls us sons.  He desires relationship with us.  He has chosen us.   Hallalujiah!  We are enough.  We are more than enough - thru Christ.  Actually, we are MORE than conquerors (Romans 8:37).  So if we're MORE than conquerors - I do believe that is more than enough.

Since 2006 my life has been miraculously transformed.  A life of sadness, wondering, bondage, depression - roller coaster of ups and downs - is now a VICTORIOUS and stable life of pure unspeakable Joy!!

Thru this blog I'll share stories of that transformed journey and the joyous and pivotal journey that God's currently got me on.

You will laugh; I am a hoot!  I'll get some "real" on ya.  My daughter says I have "slap- happy humor".  Whatever that means.  We WILL have a good time!  We WILL laugh.   God says a merry heart is good like medicine (Proverbs 17:22).

And you will cry.  I believe thru sharing my journey OUT of a bondage spirit that you will connect and be set free as well.  We often think that we're the only ones going thru our junk and don't realize we are ALL challenged and have adversities and witness circumstances that are not fair.  Thru God's Word we learn how to STAND and remain in JOY in FAITH and thru the adversity His Glory is shown.

So, back to the spirit of expectation this morning; may you be encouraged!  May you be inspired!  May your choices today reflect great expectations of blessings from the Lord. Receive ALL that Jesus paid for on the Cross.  It's yours!  Believe and receive it. 

I am currently Coaching several people who are coming out of the darkness in which I referred early.  My calling is to help you, mentor you, join you, teach you - how God brought be out of a bondage and dark life into walking into the the greatness and light in which He created us all.

Lets speak some Word and Promises of God's truth into our lives today.  The Word cannot return void and he is not respecter of persons.  What?  What does that mean?  It means when we speak and "believe" God's Word by faith - then we receive it (Mark 11:22- 26).  God is not respecter of persons.  That means what He does for one - He'll do for another.  He doesn't love one more than another and He doesn't see us as a white female or male or a black female or male (Galatians 3:28).  Notice in His Word the words "all", "whosoever", "whomever", etc. 

 You may be like "I ain't ever heard of such a thing"!  "That sounds crazy".  My response would be "What kind of life are you experiencing"?  "Is it a life of abundance and restoration, pure joy and peace and life and love and light"?  If not, then I say try it!  I thought it was a little "wacky" at first too.  But I can testify that since 2006 many chains of bondage and defeat and lack have been broken!  Oh Hallelujah I say!  Glory to God!  Or "Yeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwww" as we say in the country.

Some scriptures of encouragement today . . .
Proverbs 25:11
I John 1:7
Romans 6:14
John 1:17
Titus 3:5
Hebrews 13:6
Romans 4:17
I John 2:27
I John 3:1

I'll post soon about what happened today!  Whatever it is; I am most encouraged and confident that it is M I R A C U L O U S !!

i am One . . . who has great expectaions of God's greatness on this great day!

I hope you do too.

Hugs, Love and Prayers,

Good evening friends and family,

Come back often as I will post blogs frequently . . . the "real" life experiences I witness - or have in the Lord.

 

Hugs and Blessings to you,
