Joy Unspeakable

Today, I challenge you to remember that you are called to be happy. No one can steal your joy away. Only you can let them. This is coming from someone who has dealt with depression. It's a battle of the mind. No matter what you go through, today.. Remember you can be happy. 

"The devil can't compete wth joy because he has never had it."

-Steve Munds

Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. (John 16:19-24 KJV)

Jesus, thank You so so much for being with us in our desperate times. Help us anger and sin not. But Lord help us to have joy unspeakable! I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over every reader in Jesus name! I send angels to protect and minister to all of us in Jesus name! Lord, pour Your spirit out in to all of us in Jesus name. Lord help our joy be full! I rebuke the devil away from all of us in Jesus name! Amen.

Self Condemned

I read this earlier and had to share. May it be just what you need. 

Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone. At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone. But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned. (Titus 3:1-11 NIV)

Jesus Christ our King,

Forgive us. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over every reader and everyone who has been self condemned. Lord, that's been me, too. Lord, fix us. Help us keep our focus up on You, Lord. Move us closer to You. We love You, Jesus. I send angels to protect and minister every reader and their homes and lives in Jesus name. We devote our lives and minds to You, Jesus. Clean us. Purify our hearts. In Jesus name, amen. 

Strongholds

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 every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. (II Corinthians 10:3-6 NKJV)

Jesus, please help us. I feel strongholds. I break them by the power and might of Your holy name, JESUS CHRIST! I REBUKE THE DEVIL AWAY FROM OUR LIVES IN JESUS NAME! HEAL US JESUS! WHEN WE DONT KNOW THE WORDS TO SPEAK, WE ARE SPOKEN FOR! I send angels to minister and protect everyone of us here in JESUS NAME! CHAINS BREAK IN JESUS NAME! Amen.

What Consumes You

The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?” Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” 

(Matthew 19:20, 21 NKJV)

The man in this story asked Jesus what he must do to be whole... To gain more. Jesus knew what was between Him and the man. For that man, it was money that held him back. And Jesus told him that. But the man walked away. He was not willing to let go of the one thing that consumed him.

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. 

(Ephesians 3:14-21 NKJV)

If we let go of that which is between us and Jesus.. He will give us everything we need. No need to worry. Jesus provides. Jehovah Jireh. 

Jesus, move us. Change us. I'm tired of holding on to the weights. Even if my flesh wants them... They pull me away from You. Lord, help us. Open our eyes. Give us the strength to do whatever it takes to follow after You. Even if that means leaving the thing we "love" most. Make us whole. Show us. Lord, You give us all good things. But when we let something take place of You... Things get dangerous for us. Idols lie and consume us. You fill and protect us. Jesus, You are truth. Fill us with truth. In Jesus name. I rebuke the devil over every reader in JESUS NAME. I rebuke guilt, shame, fear, lust, pride, demons, cloudy vision, gluttony, weapons formed against us, and anger and selfishness in JESUS NAME! EVERY DEMON MUST BOW DOWN TO THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AND LET GO OF US IN JESUS NAME! I send angels to protect and minister to us all in Jesus name! I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over every reader in Jesus name. Fill us with JOY in Your presence. We Love You and we Praise You. We are ONE. In Jesus name. Amen.
