Week 118: Street Fight

                                         Street Fight

                                        Fight the good fight of faith… I Timothy 6:12

• Free-for-all. . .

• Beat down. . .

• Lay into. . .

                              Have You Heard?

                                Faith Knocked Fear Out!

Boy what a fight! Pressure reached the exploding point. The atmosphere was blanketed with tension. Terror was stalking the night, and arrows were flying by day. Lies spewed out of hell left and right, while the devil pounced unmercifully.

                                   

                                      BAM! WHACK! POW! 

One word describes a street fight—unpredictable. If you are ever coerced into a brawl, it would benefit you to be a skilled quick thinker. The adversary lurks around ready to attack at any given moment. He loves to scare us out of our wits using our children, our health, and other matters of the heart. 

He’ll use any kind of fear he can to put a deadbolt on our minds while he kicks us repeatedly in the guts with his illegal suggestions. He fights lowdown and dirty like any street thug. He launches out when we’re the most vulnerable, hoping that we’re too weak to fight him off. He has only one mission: To kill, steal, and destroy. (John 10:10)

             What’s a street fight without a little blood? (smile)

     We might be mutilated; barely able to move. That’s okay!

                          All we need is enough faith to sling the Blood.

       Jesus shed His Blood so that we would have power over the enemy. Of course, the devil doesn’t want us to know that. He wants to taunt us with fear.

However, there is nothing for us to fear. Our faith in God overtakes fear.

 I Corinthians 10:13 says God will not allow more to come on us than we can bear. That nullifies the devil’s threats. So, the next time the devil wants to pick a fight, remember this: There’s only one rule in a street fight: Use what you got—to hit where it hurts!

                   The Blood of Jesus!

Week 117: Heaven's Generator: A Divine Hookup

                        Heaven’s Generator: A Divine Hookup

                                              Now the just shall live by faith: Hebrews 10:38

• Power outage. . .

• Power shortage. . .

• Power down. . .

          Whenever there’s a power outage, a generator is a good back-up system to have in our homes and businesses. Without it, our lives are subjected to the inconveniences caused by no electricity.

          At times, the personal troubles in our lives can put us in the dark as well. However, it’s wonderful to know that we have a divine hookup that will connect us to the Light during our darkest trials. I know this to be true because when my son’s father died, unexpectedly I might add, it caused an emotional BLACKOUT!

I knew this was perhaps the most heartrending challenging time in which Harry had ever endured. I knew I had to be strong and supportive for him. Even though he seemed to have been on better footing than me. 

I appeared to be solid and heavy-duty ready, but on the inside I was drained. I told God that I didn’t have the strength to pray the prayer that was in my heart.  

         

          That was when God spoke these words into my spirit: Go somewhere quiet, and just sit in My Presence. You don’t have to say a word. Depend and lean on your past prayers. Now is the time to use your faith, and trust Me to care for you, and Harry. Heaven’s Generator will hook you up with all the energy that you need.

Looking back, I can see that we didn’t miss a beat. Harry and I were able to do every task that God put in front of us to do. I know it was God’s strength that held us up. Once again, God proved His faithfulness in our lives. 

My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

II Corinthians 12:9.

  It’s comforting to know that in our darkest hour:

                             Heaven’s Generator is On!

Week 116: What's Really Cooking?

                                  What’s Really Cooking? 

                                         Now the just shall live by faith. . . Hebrews 10:38

• Mouthwatering . . .

• Scrumptious. . .

• Lip-smacking. . . 

         While the world has its eyes on terrorism, and rightly so, I see another threat that isn’t getting the attention that it should. I am OUTRAGED about all the toxins in our food. Not everything that looks good, smells good, and taste good is fit for human consumption.

  Are we being terrorized every time someone genetically modifies our food? 

The human body is remarkable. It can successfully digest almost anything. However, it CANNOT handle all these complex chemicals that man has put into our food. Our body parts give out before we are finished using them because they are overtaxed. Is there a correlation between what we eat and all the diseases that we are suddenly plagued with? 

                                               I think so!

You can’t watch television, especially during mid-day, without being bombarded with all these illnesses. People talk about these maladies as if they are normal. Well, they are not! I’m not saying that every disease is linked to food, but I am saying that food is a major culprit to why so many people are sick.

Why don’t we hear more about this? Well, think about all the money that is generated from these disorders. Do I need to say anymore? It’s literally sickening! I think it’s a waste to put all the money into finding “cures,” and not put a stop to: artificial—chemically modified—fake foods.      

          You need an advance degree in chemical engineering

                      just to know what’s in a piece of candy.  

Food should be grown in good soil—on farms, not made from a series of complicated formulas, conjured up in test tubes manufactured in some toxic production plant.

                         The human body is not a petri dish.

What does all of this have to do with faith? Everything! We better say a sincere, heartfelt prayer before we put anything in our mouths that has been tampered with by man.

  Hmmm! I wonder what’s “really” cooking in the oven. 

                         Oh, by the way—Happy New Year!
