A beautiful testimony! Thank You Jesus! Hallelujah!

Check out this testimony received this morning!   This beautiful woman is from Iowa and just recently believed in God as her personal Savior.  Hallelujah!  Glory to God!  We Praise you, Lord!

“ . . . I need to tell you something.   Yesterday God was so heavy on my heart . . .

My sister, which is going thru a lot - such as drinking, etc.; God was telling me to really stress to her how important it was to turn to Him and pray to Him and give Him her problems - and that she cannot find true happiness if she doesn't find her purpose.

I'm a newborn!  

I’m learning new myself.   What is life without a purpose? Correct?  Without God how can I be pure or what am I here for?   I found salvation!    

On another note, God used me to help my sister!  She poured her heart out and cried and asked God in her heart!

And she didn't drink!   All she could do is smile!  And she was happy and stated she had a heart to heart talk with God and she felt his forgiveness!!

I was so happy and said praise God  :))

I prayed last night before I went to sleep and when I woke up I read some scriptures and your blog but I already knew deep in my heart I was gonna have a blessed day!  :)

God is so GREAT!

When we continue to trust in Him, by Faith, and pursue Him, He rocks us beyond our imagination!

He Loves us enough to take us into the healing process in layers.  I see it as how you peel layers of an onion – layer by layer.

A couple of weeks ago God revealed a flash of fear from my past.  The memory engulfed me!  I was not afraid – but excited of the revelation that God was revealing to me.

_________________________________

I was probably about 6 years old.  I was at a friend’s birthday party.  Many of us little ones were sitting at the picnic table enjoying her birthday.  It was a beautiful summer day.  We had just sung her the birthday song and were beginning to enjoy her beautiful celebration with cake and punch.  I recall laughter and happiness.

  

I also recall the experience being so SPECIAL!  Coming from such a poor family I, personally, hadn’t experienced a lot of ‘birthday parties’ like this one . . .  like the whole cake, punch, banners, balloons, birthday hats, party favors, the whole shebang!  It was a BIG deal! 

We were having a BLAST!

__________________________________

When all of a SUDDEN . . . gunshots began to ring out!

Car tires began squalling!

The cake was being shot and it was exploding all over us!

The punch cups were being shot into the yard!

We were soaked from the punch splashing from the gunshots!

Kids were screaming!

People were screaming!

I was screaming!

WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DIE!

The grandma of my friend rushed us into the house and made us all get under the back bedroom bed! She locked the house doors and the bedroom door and began praying!  It was a terrible experience filled with fear and devastation; one that had put a level of fear into me at a very early age.  

__________________________________

I obviously lived!  Here I am telling you this story.  

Why do I tell this story?  I tell you because YOU need to hear this!  Yes you!  If you are reading this right now – then it’s a divine appointment that God has ordained.  God loves you!  He knows the pain and fear that you have been carrying and wants to heal you.  Heal you beyond what you even ‘think’ you need healed.

 

He says to you right now “what you see in Wanda, right now, is not where she’s been”.

“The beauty in her is Me in her – and I am in you, too, if you Believe and receive me”.

“I will transform you from the inside out”.

“I Love you”.

“I want to save you and heal you”.

“Will you trust me and let me”?

______________________________________

 I believe, also, this memory has come back so God can heal yet another layer of fear that was put into me as a young child.  Trauma and fear is NEVER His desire for us.  He created us for GREATNESS (I John 4:4) and never for lack or dark.

I find it powerful that the very first scripture that I truly felt was “mine” - is II Timothy 1:7 - For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and a sound mind.  That scripture rocked me to my core in 2007.  It lifted me from a broken heart into a healed and restored heart.  It means even more to me now.  God knew I had more fear than I knew I had.  Obviously he continues to restore that.  Thank you Jesus!  I Receive it.

______________________________________

The vision that God has put inside of me for ‘i am One’ is so crazy BIG that it will have to be full on God for it to happen.  Every single ounce of ‘Wanda’ has to go.  I’m trusting Him into a level I've never been!  God in His so POWERFUL and AWESOMENESS is healing me more and more; and this has to happen to go forward into what He wants to do in my life.

I hear Him say “Wanda, you gotta go through THIS so we can get to THAT”!

God’s wants to take our pain.  He sent Jesus to the Cross so His Grace may abound us.   You see – someone reading this needs to hear that!  Someone has some fear and pain that has tried to haunt you.  God wants you FREE!  He sent His Son, Jesus, for you to be FREE! 

He wants us walking in complete freedom in which He has created us!  He THEN wants us sharing our stories – our testimony – to help others see His Love and Healing!

_______________________________________

Anything we hide and protect – controls us. 

I don’t even remember if I told my mom or dad about this incident.  I don’t recall.  I probably just stuffed it away and tried to forget it.  And for many years, did.

 

One thing I have tied to this memory is why I used to respond the way I did.  For example . . . when life was amazing, super awesome and so many blessings are flooding in – this one ‘thing’ would cause me to hesitate. I could never figure out what “it” was.  Kind of like . . .  expecting a lurking of something ‘bad’ to rise up.

Watch this!  From 6 years old I had carried this. I knew I struggled with this thought process – only at certain times.  My mind couldn't figure out what it was!  Why did I do that?  I thought it was a ‘not enough’ mentality.  I worked on it.  I believed against it.  I spoke against it.  But DANG!  It was just funky!  Something funky!

NOW!  Here it is!  God brought the Revelation!

The earlier part of that day at the birthday party was one of the most awesome days - ever!  The smell!  The goodies!  The laughs!  The sunshine!  The birthday cake!  The punch!  The special day!  Friends!

And what happened?

BAM!

 

Out of nowhere - the alcoholic uncle of my friend came in and created a fear-filled day!  What more would satan want than to use someone's poor choices to put a level of fear like that in a bunch of little girls that were divinely created in the Greatness of King Jesus Christ! 

  

Oh but Praise the Lord!  The God of Love and Healing IS using it for GOOD!  Real GOOD!  Now, at 44 years old!  God says “NO MORE”!  I am praising God right now!  Praising!  Praising!  Praising!  Thankful!  Thankful!  Thankful!

That fear and thought process is BROKEN!  It is called OUT in the Name of Jesus!  Over!  Done!  No more!  

__________________________________________

God has called me to teach others ‘Who we are in Christ’ – to edify and encourage.  He spoke that into me in 2007 – when God brought me out of a legalistic and works relationship with Him and flooded my heart with Joy, Joy, Joy – unspeakable Joy!

So remember this . . . the Wanda you see now – is not where I’ve been.  It is the beauty of Jesus Christ!

The more I learn ‘Who I am in Christ Jesus’ the more Joy and FREEDOM comes!  The more I Believe and trust the Word of God – the more my life continues to be transformed. I know I’ve not arrived but baby I ain’t where I been!  And the more I pursue Him, His Word and Promises – the more healing continues to come.

___________________________________________

I pray this testimony helps you to heal.  Pray and ask God if there is an area in which you need “another layer” healed.  He Loves you and wants you healed!

He’s not mad at you.  He so desires that you live the life of freedom in which He has created you.  You are One of Christ’s divine creation!  And He loves you unconditionally!

___________________________________________

During the journey of my transformed life that I now live – I’ve learned to proclaim (speak out loud) in Faith Believing – God’s Word.  

We carry power in our Words – especially God’s Word.  I have learned how to declare ‘Who I am in Christ’ and take authority over those thoughts of fear and not enough. Taking authority over feelings is monumental in a close walk in the Lord.

Paul teaches to do this very thing in 2 Corinthians 3 -5 – “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing into captivity to the obedience of Christ,”

Also, in Romans 10:17 – “So then Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” 

In Romans 10:8 we learn God wants His Word in our mouths – “The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart (that is the word of faith which we preach) that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and Believe in your heart that od has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Romans 18:21 teaches us the power of our words – “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

And then probably my favorite is Mark 11:23 – “For assuredly, I say to you, whosoever says to this mountain, “Be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea”, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

Our words are a big deal.  A real big deal!  Life and death!

Will you join me in this Victorious walk in the Lord? 

Remember, Jesus went to the Cross and shed his blood so we no longer live under the law (works) OR our circumstances or what has happened to us.  Ha!  That’s some crazy POWERFUL Jesus stuff right there!  Praise God!

We now are under God’s Grace (Ephesians 2:8 For by Grace you have been saved through Faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.).   

As a child of God sin has no dominion or authority over us because we are covered by Grace (Romans 6:14 – For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under Grace.).

Here are a few of God’s Word that I declare – by Faith Believing – most every day of my life . . .

I am One . . . whom God loves unconditionally!  Romans 8:35-39.

I am One . . . who is more than a conqueror!  Romans 8:37

I am One . . . who is saved. Ephesians 2:8

I am One . . . who is Loved!  John 3:16

I am One . . . who was divinely created by God!  Psalm 139:14

I am One . . . who is Chosen!  John 15:16, Ephesians 1:4

I am One . . . who has been Adopted!  Ephesians 1:5 

I am One . . . he has been redeemed and forgiven!   Ephesians 1:7 

I am One . . . who Christ has set Free!  Galatians 5:1 

I am One . . . who is an Overcomer!  I John 4:4 

I am One . . . who is Healed!   I Peter 2:24

I am One . . . he is forgiven! I John 1:9, Acts 2:38

I am One . . . he calls friend! John 15:13

I am One . . . who is complete in Christ and lack nothing!  Colossians 2:10

I am One . . . who is His workmanship. Ephesians 1:10

I am One . . . in Christ!  Galations 3:28

I am One . . . who is blessed with every spiritual blessing.  Ephesians 1:3

I am who God says I am!

I can DO what God says I can do!

I  HAVE what God says I can have!

I am One

who has been significantly, miraculously and purposefully created.

God loves me unconditionally!

And I am enough!

We are "in Love"!

God delivered me from depression, fear and perfectionism.   Once I learned what the Word of God said about me; Peace and Joy abolished fear and anxiety.

In 2007 God spoke to me and said "you will teach"! He began teaching me how to impart His greatness into others.  What I have been delivered from is now my Passion!

After posting the "Faith" video last Friday evening (to our facebook page) the enemy has been "trying" to find a way to get me back into some anxiety and thoughts of "not enough".

I have received several testimonies that the video touched several lives and God spoke miraculously thru it.  Praise God! To Him be ALL the Glory! Thank You Jesus! : )

Christ already won; therefore, I have won too! And the enemy wants to "try" some lies to "try" to get me in my flesh and out of Faith and Belief.   I am continuing to "speak" and Believe God's Word all the more! I am taking authority over what I see, hear and allow in my space and making sure it IS God's Promises, His Blessings and His Love! Hallelujah!

There is much misconception that once God miraculously delivers us from something that we will "never" be tried again. That is a lie. The enemy IS a liar and he "seeks" to torment.

But - oh baby take heart . . .
Thru Jesus - we win! When we "on purpose" choose authority thru Jesus, we win! When we BELIEVE by FAITH in His PROMISES, we win! When we SPEAK God's Word, we win!

When Jesus proclaimed "it is finished" on the Cross; a God-given authority was released to you and I. As a born-again Child of God; we access this Authority by Faith. Hallelujah!

So, yesterday, I was moved to study Song of Solomon. I can't say I have ever studied it before.

In one of the study bibles I'm using - it summarises Song of Solomon as . . .
"This Song proclaims a husband's Love for his wife and illustrates God's Love for His people, the Love that Christ has for the Church, His Bride. It describes how a Lover cherishes his beloved and how he enjoys the way she completes him".

So, let me bring this home . . .
Thru this journey of my Faith, Belief and Trust in Christ being tried by the enemy - there is a promotion happening. God has NEVER and will NEVER fail me. He adores me and is in "Love" with me. I am His! He is mine! We are "in Love"!

I have been delivered! I am delivered! And as the opportunity to rise to a new level of Faith arises; thru Christ Jesus - AGAIN - He will deliver!

i am One . . . who is enough! (I John 4:17)

And so are you! Amen

Happy 2014!

 

 

Happy New Year ya'll! 

 

May the Lord continue to Bless you abundantly this year!  May His face continue to shine upon you.  May 2014 be a year you Believe and Receive all Christ created you to be.

You ARE who God says you are!

 

You can DO what God says you can do!

 

You HAVE what God says you have!

 

And you are enough!
 

One of the most transforming moments in my life was when I Believed and Received that revelation - that I am enough.  When I studied and learned -  then began Believing and speaking - the Word of God, my life drastically shifted into a constant Celebration of Joy that has never left!  Victories AND trials come and go, but the Joy remains.
 
I pray this revelation for you.  It is available to you as it is for me.  If you are a "whosoever" then you qualify!  John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

It is available to those who Believe!  John 6:47  Verily, verily, I say into you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

I pray you are a Believer.  If you are not, then I pray you choose to Believe and Receive God's precious gift of Redeeming Salvation and Joy that will consume you with Love, Life and Light (I John).

I recall the time in my life ,BEFORE I knew what God's Word said, riding the crazy roller coaster of circumstances.  There was much uncertianty and confidence.  Although I was saved - I was bound by thoughts of lack, perfectionism, depression and always "wished" I had more, or had better circumstances, or was smarter, or was prettier, or more creative, or taller, or shorter, or . . . blah, blah, blah!  I had a mindset and spirit of not enough and was not walking in the fullness in which I was created in Christ Jesus.

Learning to speak and Believe God's Word over my life and my family and my circumstances
was . . . WONDERFUL!!  It was AWESOME!  It was MIRACULOUS!  POWERFUL!  It was FREEING!  It released SUPERNATURAL blessings and continues to do so to this day.
 
I Love, Love, Love how God only says "Believe"!   Not, "you have to be perfect and never sin"!  Nor does God's Word say we are ever "too bad for his Love and Grace".  It never says we "receive" His Love and Blessings and Promises because of any "circumstance", "gender" or "status" (Galatians 3:28   There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female; for ye are all One in Christ Jesus.)

Also, Christ's Love for us has nothing to do with our works - but EVERYTHING to do with Him!  He. Christ Jesus.  Going to the Cross as payment for you and me. For us "whosoevers"!  Ha!  I love that!

Gah!!!!  That's good news!  That's super dee duper GOOD NEWS!  And in the country when we get super dee duper excited, we shout a big "YEEEEEE HAWWWWW"!   Makes you wanna run and jump and doing a double-back flip! 

By studying and learning God's Word, I learned . . .
                            I WAS ENOUGH!   
                            I AM . . . ENOUGH!
                            AND SO ARE YOU!!!!!!!!! 

 

Scripture after scripture confirms His Love for us and His desire for greatness for us.  And if we are a "whosoever" and are living and breathing - then we are ENOUGH for Jesus!

 

Check these scriptures out . . .

 

God Loves us and nothing can separate us from His Love!
          Romans 8:38 – 39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities,
          nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,
          shall be able to separate us from the LOVE OF GOD, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

He wants us to know His Word and the truth! 
          John 8:32 - And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.

He perfectly created us!  
          Psalm 139:14 I will PRAISE thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy
          works: and that my soul knoweth right well.
        
He created us with a purpose!
          Ephesians 2:10   For we are HIS workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God
          hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Jesus went to the Cross for our healing!

I Peter 2:24   Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to
sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

We are Chosen and Called!

          I Peter 2:9  But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;
          that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His
          marvellous light:

He desires us to be prosperous and healthy!
          III John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as
          thy soul prospereth.

He wants us free!
          Galatians 5:1  Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not
            entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

We Receive when we ask and Believe!
          Luke 11:9 - 10  And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,
          and it shall be opened unto you. For EVERY ONE that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;
          and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

 His saving Grace is sufficient!

          Ephesians 2:8  For by Grace are ye saved through Faith: and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.
 

We are Chosen and Loved!

          Ephesians 1:4 According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we
          should be Holy and without blame before Him in Love.
 

We are Overcomers!
          I John 4:4  Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He that is
            in you, than he that is in the world.

He Loves us enough that He (Jesus Christ) gave his life for you and me!
          Hebrews 9:12-15 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood, he entered in once
          into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats,
          and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much
          more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God,
          purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause He is the mediator
          of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under
          the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

We are His - He calls us His children!
          Galatians 3:26  For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

We are made to be FREE in Christ!
          Romans 6:18  Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

God Loves us all and we are all His favorite!
Romans 2:11  For there is no respect of persons with God.


Ha!  Some pretty awesome stuff right there!  Yeeeeee Hawwwww!  Yep!  Super dee duper good stuff!  And it's freely ours when we Believe!  Period!  Believe!

So this year I challenge you to ditch the lies of lack and not enough.  Trash them!  Burn them!  Take your vehicle and run over them.  Get rid of them!  Shoot them!  Drown them!  Flush them down the toilet!

And Believe God's Word!  Speak and Believe His Promises for you!  He Loves you!  He adores you!  And He is waiting for you to agree with Him and walk along side Him into the GREATNESS in which He has created YOU!

Go!! 
Go in 2014! 
Walking in our calling, passion and purpose!

 

Will you join me in standing and shouting the "i am One Anthem"?

i am One . . .

who has been miraculously, significantly and purposefully created

and God loves me unconditionally

and i am enough"!

Bam!  Good Stuff! 

Love ya'll,
Wanda
