12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you.
16 Only let us hold true to what we have attained.
17 Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.
18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.
19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.
20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
Philippians 3:12-21 ESV
Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you. They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters. Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter. For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? Now “If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?” Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.
1 Peter 4:1-19 NKJV
2014 is Double Portion Year
7 = perfection
14 = double perfection
2014.. Double perfection. Double portion.
The devil is trying to ware out the saints. Let's rise.
JESUS! WE DESPERATELY NEE YOU! The lusts of our flesh are being tempted and we need freedom! Bring to pass what You said would come. I trust You Jesus. You are NEVER too late. The devil just tries to get us to give up right before the big reveal I things. You are faithful, God. And Your hold us. We can't jump out of Your hands though. It's our choice though. Do we really want to, or is it just fear? I REBUKE FEAR IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH! You brought the promised flood when you told Noah to build the ark. You aren't slack concerning Your Promise. I plead the blood of JESUS CHRIST OVER EVERY READER IN JESUS NAME. I REBUKE THE DEVIL AWAY FROM US IN JESUS NAME! HALLELUJAH JESUS! YOU ARE HIGH ABOVE IT ALL! YOU ARE FAITHFUL! THE PROMISES ARE TRUE AND WILL MANIFEST SOON! In JESUS NAME AMEN!

For Us That Are Hurting
I think we all feel pain right now. We are all groaning in the flesh. These times are hard. We are suffering in pain that no one can see. Fighting for our lives... Spiritually and physically. When will there be a cure? Jesus is the healer... So where is our cute? We keep falling when He has promised us wings. We keep lying when He said He's the Truth. When will we see the effect of His mercy? When will we fly on wings like eagles? When will we RISE?
It's time.
Time to take off the blindfolds.. It's not HIM... It's us. We have been falling for much too long. It's time to RISE.
How to RISE?
•Let go of the past.
Seriously let it go. Strive forward. You want healing but you keep clawing yourself. You want hope but every time you see a glimpse of it... You turn around to see the dark. Let God. Let God. You're free. Let go of the chains. You're free. Let go. Let God. You're free. Free. Free.
•Forgive yourself.
You're beautiful. You're handsome. You were made for so much more. We are messy. Too messy. That's why we need Him. None of us are perfect. Some of us are just good hiders. But trust me, no one can hide forever. We were made to fly... Not cower in the dark so no one can see. Rise, embrace these tattered wings.
•Look up.
Where you put your eyes and your mind, this is where you go. So if you want to fly high above the windy waves of life... Lift your head and take your eyes off the mess. Jesus will hold you... But you have for to LET HIM and LOOK TO HIM for help. Look up.
•Listen to the good things.
Keep your mind under control. After all, what you think about is what you have complete control of more than anything. Focus. Focus. Focus.
•Surround yourself with the Light.
How? How in the world can I do that when it's dark everywhere? Create your own light. Better yet, let JESUS light up your world. FOCUS ON HIM. Talk to Him all day, everyday... About anything and everything. He is listening, and if you focus, listen, and call out.. You will hear Him too. It's not hard. Don't let the devil tell you that. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Submit to Jesus Christ. ❤️
•Lift off
Raise your hands. Give it all to Jesus. Stop relying on your own strength to fly. You simply can't do it alone. None of us can. Not one. WE ALL NEED JESUS!
READ ROMANS 8.. Hope and Light. It's all because of JESUS.. We have HOPE THAT DOESNT DISSAPOINT.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 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.
(Romans 8:1-39 KJV)
Jesus, thank You. It takes a load off our shoulders...Your burden is LIGHT... We don't have to be perfect... We can't be. Thank You for being God. Thank You for dying for us and being perfect. Taking the guilt for all our shame and sin. I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL OF US IN JESUS NAME! I PRAY THAT YOU WOULD SUPERNATURALLY OPEN OUR EYES. Awaken us that sleep and make us strong to fly and run. WE LOVE YOU JESUS! SHOW US YOUR MERCY AND GRACE AND STRENGTH! BE STRONG FOR US BECAUSE WE ARE WEAK! I SEND ANGELS TO PROTECT US ALL IN JESUS NAME! IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!

Faithful God
And it shall be when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
(Exodus 13:5 KJV)
Our God does NOT lie!
I was talking with Jesus earlier. I was asking Him why things don't look to be going right. He showed me Exodus 13:5. He swore to me that promise and He is telling me to hold Him to it. Jesus Christ is not a man that He should lie. He is faithful.
Are you in a place of discouragement? Are things looking like they aren't doing what Jesus said they would do?
Jesus is NOT a man that He should lie. Hold Him to it!
"It may be dark now but the sun will shine again!" I heard this said by a evangelist at a revival one time.
WE HAVE HOPE!

Let us wait on the LORD FOR THE PROMISE LAND! IT WILL COME! DON'T GIVE UP NOW!!!! IN JESUS NAME!
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord : be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
(Psalms 27:13, 14 KJV)
Jesus, You do not lie. You have PROMISED us the promise land! Flowing with milk and honey! I plead the blood of JESUS CHRIST over all of us, in JESUS NAME! I ask that You would show us what is going on and give us rest I our souls! YOU ARE NOT A MAN THAT YOU SHOULD LIE! I REBUKE EVERY ENEMY THAT HAS COME UP AGAINST US IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH! I SEND ANGELS TO PROTECT AND MINISTER TO US IN JESUS NAME! IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!

God's Got This
"Be still, and know that I Am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." (Psalm 46:10 KJV)
DON'T WORRY! That's right, I'm talkin' to you! Actually, I'm talking to myself as well.
One thing that I have battled my whole life was worrying. It seems so hard not to let our minds wander into the dark night of fear. But, it's a good thing that we have control over what we think. If that were not true, then God wouldn't tell us what to think about...
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." (Philippians 4:8 KJV)
This command is a way to peace. If you want peace in your life, learn to direct the way you think...
"Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you." (Philippians 4:9 KJV)
We have peace if we take hold of the reins of our mind! The mind can be wild, but we have the power and authority to move it in the direction that we want it to go! We are called into FREEDOM! There is no reason why we should worry. Worrying doesn't do anything good for us. Worry makes matters worse. So before you go worrying about that too, take a deep breath and say "Thank You, Jesus." He has this. Let us BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD.
Jesus, thank You so much for this much needed wisdom. There is so much we can learn and gain from Your Word. Teach us to go Your way, show us how to get there, and between now and then let us gird up the loins of our mind and step out in victory in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Jesus, You have called us into FREEDOM! I rebuke the devil away from us in Jesus name! Show us how to LOVE LIKE YOU LOVE US! Free us from fear and doubt in the name of Jesus Christ! I rebuke the devil away from us in the name of JESUS! YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE! WHOM THE SON SETS FREE IS FREE INDEED! HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU JESUS! I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over every reader in Jesus name and there situations in life in Jesus name! You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life so Jesus make our way perfect! WE CHOOSE TO TRUST IN YOU, JESUS! I send angels to protect and minister unto all of these readers and their families in Jesus name! Give us what we need to grow in You, Lord. IN JESUS NAME I PRAY, AMEN!

No matter what is going on in life, with all the busyness and mess, look to Jesus. Be still and know that He is God. I'm talking to myself, too. Jesus is the One True God and He holds it all.
There is actually something I ask myself quite often that just smacks me right in the face everytime:
"Why am I worrying?! I mean come on, Kristin!!! The God of all the universe is holding you! He created you! He has this! GOD's GOT THIS!!!!"

Light Up Ahead
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. (Psalms 30:5 KJV)
This season in life may be pretty dark. But we have HOPE that doesn't disappoint (Romans 5:5). There's a Light up ahead. Don't give up. God will do what He said He would do.
Jesus, thank You. For everything. You hold us. Thank You. Forgive us for not remembering You in times like this. We want You, Jesus. MORE OF YOU, GOD! Fill us with JOY IN YOUR PRESENCE! Give us that LIGHT! YOU PROMISED US! AND YOU DON'T LIE! YOU NEVER FAIL AND YOU WON'T START NOW! I PLEAD THE BLOOD OVER EVERYONE READING RIGHT NOW IN JESUS NAME! GIVE THEM ENDURANCE AND EXPERIENCE THROUGH THIS TRIAL! JESUS! SHOW US THAT THE LIGHT IS UP AHEAD! TAKE OFF THE BLINDFOLD THAT THE ENEMY PUT ON OUR EYES! I REBUKE THE DEVIL AWAY FROM US ALL IN JESUS NAME! LET US ENDURE BECAUSE THERE'S A LIGHT UP AHEAD! IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!
