God can really speak to you, if you let him.

Satan got the business tonight because this is a spiritual battle beloved , for real! Because he has tried me in every way, he knows he doesn't have much time left so he is in full attack mode. And I won't be having any of it!!! Not today not ever. The Spirit of the Living God lives within me and I pray anyone reading this post by the authority of Christ that the enemy would be rebuked in your lives in the name of Jesus! This is war, and Jesus already won! So flee Satan.

Maranatha Jesus!!!

7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse yourhands, you sinners; and purify your hearts,you double-minded.

I went to the Lord during my quiet time and told Him how I was pretty dissapointed that I don't have someone to share my journals with, He's been showing me some cool stuff and some don't understand my fire. He showed me a vision of Jesus sitting down and going through the journals with me. He gave me peace about it's earthly impact; that is in His hands. But one day soon He will sit with me and go through my journal with me and rave over it and tell me what I got right and wrong... how I wish those around me would. He whispered "this is worship daughter, I can't wait for that day". Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. His love fills up all the dark places in our hearts, the Creator of the Universe cares about us!!!! #worship #prayer #bride #Christ #mercy #love #redemption #Israel #heaven #eternity #Jesus #holyspirit #God #ministry #eschatology https://www.instagram.com/p/BpS2E9Vn_ZH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15srw3jpd9g26

I was created to be in an everlasting, sincere, genuine relationship with the King. Everything else comes second. Ministry comes second. Work comes second. Earthly relationships come second. Money comes second. School comes second. I am first and foremost the Bride of Christ. After that, I am everything else that He created me to be.

Here is some great truth for Friday, feed yourself with the Word beloved

Calling the truth lies and the lies truth

You will be ever hearing but never understanding;   you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people’s heart has become calloused;   they hardly hear with their ears,   and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes,   hear with their ears,   understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.

It has happened to me many times - when I present the truth (or even try to) someone jumps right at me trying to make my words seem crazy and false. Satan’s minions are everywhere, and whenever someone tries to point to God they’ll always be there to try and discredit Him. Satan can use anyone who’s outside of Christ just as much as he can use his demons and human puppet followers. (Whoever is not for God is against Him.) Sadly he can influence even God’s people, not just from the spiritual dimension but also through means from the material world. If demons’ whispers can’t shake you and disrupt you, he’ll send people and events your way to try and destroy you or your trust in God. This can be really bad for new converts, who don’t have enough experience and knowledge of certain things. The Parable of the Sower is a perfect representation of people’s situations, and how reactions vary from person to person.  “ The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.  So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”   The disciples couldn’t understand, so Jesus broke it down for them:  “When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;  yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it;which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.“

New converts’ developing roots are delicate, and if the enemy gets their hands on them things may end badly. The “birds” can eat up God’s word before it settles in the person, and the situation worsens. The faith is in constant danger nowadays. 

The seeds that fell on rocky places is God’s word which is delivered to people with hardened hearts. They might try to accept it, but since they think they already know everything and don’t want to change anything, the faith that started developing will wither because they wouldn’t let it grow. Not letting go of old (and false) beliefs is dangerous, but is not uncommon today, with all our pride and self righteousness, hardly anyone could tell us that we could be wrong about something without us getting all defensive. 

The sun is the trials we go through - if it gets hard many people give up on God. They don’t want to risk anything. 

The thorns are the worries and cares of this world. Some people put bill deadlines, political correctness, social norms and so on above God and His will. The focus of the person’s life is not God, but rather material things which in the end lead to pride, greed, gluttony, etc. For example if a man chose to go to work on time instead of stopping to help a lost child, he may be no longer fruitful in God’s eyes, because he put his job above someone in need. 

The seed which fell on good ground developed, and was fruitful - hearing and studying the word of God is good, but you also have to put it to practice. You can’t be saved through works only, but faith without works is dead. 

People just… don’t want to get saved. They don’t ever want to be proven wrong, let alone by someone better than them. So they chose to hold on to the lies which they’re familiar with, and reject the truth, which endangers their self righteousness. These people attack with insults anything they do not understand; and those things that they know by instinct, like wild animals, are the very things that destroy them. 

“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.  When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’  “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”

The Parable of the Weeds explains how God’s people and those sent by satan can’t live separately, and how the good seeds have to fight for their life, healthy growth,etc. About the potential uproot of both the good and the bad seeds - if God were to remove evil people directly, right now, this would greatly impact the good (not in the best way). If someone you loved, who may not be righteous, but whom you still love, were to be taken from you directly - by the same God who claims to love everyone, not only you’d be disappointed, but you’d probably start doubting and even hating him. Even if this person was evil and godless, and you were godly, you still couldn’t hate them (as God commands). While they are still alive they can always be saved, you don’t have to become like them to love and respect them. If they become godly - they win, but if they don’t - you wouldn’t be thrown together with them. 

So what do you do? Trust God, for He is perfect and just, He’s the same today, yesterday and tomorrow. He doesn’t force people to obey Him - but if you decide to - you win! There are always those who will try to deter you from the right way, but God is stronger than anything - He can always help you, and He will always expose the lies and give us the truth, even if some refuse to accept it.        Those who love lies are fleeting, but God is eternal, and that’s the truth!

Good thoughts.

Death could not contain Him...

(Acts 2:24) “But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him…”

Not taking into account He is God, when Jesus walked this earth He didn’t sin even once. Death is a consequence of sin, which He did not commit. This sacrifice of His was made by His own free choice, had He decided to give up on us and abort His mission, all of mankind wouldn’t even be here now. “Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?” (Matthew 26:53) Still, when He gave up His spirit (again, by His own choice, who would be able to take whatever from Him if He doesn’t allow it anyway?) and was proclaimed dead, all it took was 3 days of “rest” and He was back again in His full power. In my opinion, this 3 day period is similar to our sleep in a way, we spend many hours lying somewhere, not exactly conscious (and unaware of our surroundings), recharging. Jesus also honored the Sabbath, and when He was out of the grave His glory was revealed (again) because He pain the penalty for all of our sins. If, let’s say, a normal human was to take His place, the amount of time they’d have to spend “dead” would be astronomically huge, and we might not even have that big of a number that could get close. If this person died 2000 years ago, they’d have to be “asleep” for at least a few eons in the future. Sin, although invisible, is something too real, and it has consequences, which are incredibly bad if left unforgiven and unrepented of. But since God is God, this short 3 day period was enough to “recharge” I guess. To be honest, since I can’t wrap my head around how amazing and powerful God truly is, I haven’t reached an answer of whether Jesus truly raised Himself up, or this was done by the Father or through the Holy Spirit. Jesus did say “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.”, so I guess He did it Himself after all, however that happened. It was done nonetheless, and since death was not something too big for God, He proved who He was and who sent Him, stripped the devil of his power over us and gave us victory, He paid for our sins so we could live again when He returns, He left us His instructions and promises so anyone could come to Him, and changed the world in a massive way all at once. A way so massive we started counting time according to His life (what do you think BC and AD mean? ;) 

Death and satan are defeated foes, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” “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.”

Some thoughts

[ksaaangs-blog]

Let God be the loudest voice in your life. He is always saying “I love you”

[ksaaangs-blog]

The United Nations (UN) has finally acknowledged that it played a role in the cholera outbreak in Haiti that began nearly six years ago, and has killed thousands of people, and infected almost 800,000.

The Secretary General of the UN, Ban Ki-moon, admitted for the first time last week that the organisation was involved in starting the outbreak, and “needs to do much more” to fix the problem.

But a confidential internal report obtained by The New York Times took things one step further, concluding that the epidemic “would not have broken out but for the actions of the United Nations”.
