The Power of The Word of God!!!

I am always reminded of this, as one who has not seen Him. “Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: BLESSED are they that have not seen, and yet have believed” (John 20: 29, KJV). The amplified version describes this blessing as “happy, spiritually secure, and favored by God.

When you change your mindset, remember, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty THROUGH GOD to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled” (2 Corinthians 10: 3-6, KJV). This is integral, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10: 17, KJV).

There is immense spiritual warfare that is surrounding and permeating our atmosphere. The LORD has led me to really focus on a command that was given to the Israelites before and as we enter the 27th chapter in the Book of Deuteronomy.

God’s Word is a shield, defense, and a protector. Not only are we supposed to meditate on it and hide it in our hearts, but it is also supposed to be physically set around the parameters of where we live. This shows the caliber of power in the Word of the LORD. The Israelites were commanded to strategically place this Word, in writing, as a bulwark, a rampart, and an impenetrable barrier.

When the LORD Goes Before You!!!

When the LORD Goes Before You!!! “Know [without any doubt], that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked (stubborn, obstinate) people. Remember [with remorse] and do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness; from the day you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD. And at Horeb (Sinai) you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you” (Deuteronomy 9: 4-8, AMP). Many of us focus on Moses' fasting for forty days and forty nights. But he had to go back up for a second time, for forty more days and nights, hewing two tablets of stone himself, as he fasted and prayed for the lives of the Israelites, including his brother Aaron. In God’s mercy they spent forty years in the wilderness, and He was not wrong if He would have condemned them to eighty years. Before we procee...

Why Jesus Put Away Distractors!!!

Why Jesus Put Away Distractors!!! Many may not believe this, but the atmosphere is a determinant to the outcome for any situation. The Holy Spirit and prayer brings peace and success in all things. Years ago, and even now, I have had many times when I would ask colleagues for help, and they would say “Okay” and then just keep fraternizing with one another as if I wasn’t there. Then the LORD would speak to my spirit, annoyed with their behavior saying, “You don’t need them. We will figure it out together”. And when we accomplished the task, these same nurses would look shocked and appalled. Teamwork is critical in healthcare. Brainstorming, collaboration, and critical thinking is vital. Particularly in emergent situations. But what I have noticed is that many believe that they can damage your esteem or make you feel less than by ignoring your very presence. This may be done throughout a hierarchy. But it only speaks to their psyches. Or they have a compensity to want to make you feel th...

The Power of Prayer!!!

The Power of Prayer!!! This evening, I found out that someone that I cared for on many occasions had died. It broke my heart because she was critically injured during an altercation, and no one said anything to me about it until it was too late. She hung on for a few days after but succumbed to her injury. The LORD spoke to my spirit that she was given time to allow someone the opportunity to intercede for her. It is what hurt me more than anything. In the past I remember two performers, Gregory Hines and Luther Vandross who were sick around the same time. The former whose illness was kept a secret, and the latter, who had loved ones ask the public to pray for him. Luther Vandross recovered and survived for two more years while Gregory Hines died in the self-same year of 2003. And as both of these individuals were being discussed, it was made clear that this was the result of the power of prayer. And I never forgot this because I knew that this was of God. Death is final. And if ...
