My Warfare Weapon

Dear Saints;
Just a short teaching about praying God’s Word over yourself.
You may use which ever translation you wish. Many times I will
use the NIV because of its simple language. If you prefer the KJV, please
use it. I, too, use the KJV in many of my studies.
However, for today, I will be using the NIV.

When I am praying God’s Holy Anointed Words….I make them personal.
I will make this Psalm personal today as an example of how I pray against
the enemy’s attacks against my ministry, family and friends. God’s Holy
Anointed Words can not come back void, nor can it fail in its purpose.
It is the most powerful weapon against the enemy of God.

Dearest Heavenly Father….I come to you today speaking Your Holy
Anointed Words over myself. Hear my heart’s cries Father. Thank You
for Your love, protection, guidance and discipline.

Psalms 91:1-16 NIV

I, who dwell in the shelter of the
Most High, will rest in the
shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord,
You are my refuge and
my fortress, my God,
in whom I trust.

Surely He will save Me from
the fowler’s snare and from
the deadly pestilence.

He will cover me with His
feathers, and under His wings
I will find refuge; His
faithfulness will be my shield
and rampart.

I will not fear the terror
of night, nor the arrow
that flies by day.

Nor the pestilence that stalks
in the darkness, nor the
plaque that destroys
at midday.

A thousand may fall at my side,
ten thousand at my right hand,
but it will not come near me.

I will only observe with my
eyes and see the punishment
of the wicked.

If I say, the Lord is my Refuge,
and I make the Most High
my dwelling,

No harm will overtake me.
No disaster will come
near my tent.

For He will command His
angels concerning me,
to guard me in all my ways.

They will lift me up in their
hands, so that I will not strike
my foot against a stone.

I will tread on the lion and
the cobra; I will trample the
great lion and the serpent.

Because she loves me, says
the Lord, I will rescue her;
I will protect her, for
she acknowledges My Name.

She will call on me, and I will
answer her; I will be with her
in trouble, I will deliver her and
honor her.

With long life I will satisfy her
and show her my salvation.

Father, this is a promise I know that
I may hold on to.
I know that You are the same
yesterday, today and forever.
I know that You are no respecter
of persons.
I know what You will do for one,
Lord, You will do for me.

Lord, I put my whole trust and faith
in You, and You alone.
My future is in Your Holy Hands.

Thank You for having a plan for my
life, to bless me and not to harm me.
to prosper me and give me a future.

Thank You, Father, that You have
blessed me with a unique talent and
gift so that I may make a living for
myself from my own hands.

Thank You, Lord, for loving me so
very much.

I ask all this in the Mighty and Powerful Name
of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Praying God’s Holy Anointed Words over your situation
is very important. Trusting God no matter what you
see with your natural eyes….but trusting that He
will see you through the storms of life…is extremely
important in your walk with God.

Trust
Believe
Listen
Read
Study
Yield
Obey
Pray
Praise
Worship
Thank Him

Simple formula for overcoming this world’s problems.

I hope this blesses you, dear saints.

To Tell The Truth Is To Walk In Righteousness

To Tell The Truth Is To Walk In Righteousness

As I was praying this past few weeks I began to hear the Lord speak to me 
about TRUTH AND LIES. 

What does the word “Truth” mean? 
Truth means—-
The true or actual state of a matter. 
Conformity with fact or reality. 
Verified or indisputable fact or principle.
A state or character of being true. 
Actual existence. 
Honesty
Integrity

There is NO such thing as a HALF TRUTH or LITTLE WHITE LIES! 

A person is telling the truth or that person is lying! 
It’s a pretty simple concept. 

No one has to be taught how to lie…we are all born with that sinful mind set. 
We must learn to be truthful. 
We must learn to walk in the path of righteous integrity.

What does the word “Lie” mean?
Lie means——
A False statement made with Deliberate Intent to Deceive.
To Knowingly tell an untruth. 
To speak falsely.
To Mislead.  

God revealed to me that His children have fallen victim to this sin. 
It has become so easy for us to lie that many times we don’t even realize it. 
Or we do not consider what we are saying is a lie.

You may read this and say to yourself……Hey, that doesn’t apply to me! 
I am not a liar……
But is that a lie in itself? 

Here are some very common ways God’s children lie, everyday….
these are just a few examples….I could list dozens….

The phone rings….
it’s the pastor….
Sister/Brother….would you mind helping clean the church this week….
How many times have we said….
I’m sorry Pastor….I will not be able to help this week…then we make 
up some excuse…..when the truth of the matter is…we just want to sleep in. 

Or our child ask to go somewhere…and we don’t really feel up to it….
so we make an excuse why we can’t….

You receive a phone call…your home…but you don’t really want to 
chat at the moment…really you don’t want to talk to that person 
calling…so you let the voice mail pick up……
Your voicemail says that you will be happy to return the call 
 as soon as you can……
But you never return the call…..

You get pulled over by a police officer…
the officer tells you that you were speeding..
the officer tells you were driving 75 mph
in a 60 mph zone……
You look all shocked and say…oh no….I 
must have not seen the speed limit sign….
or Oh no…I did not realize I was speeding…
Hoping and praying the officer doesn’t 
write you a situation….

Excuses are LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we have all used excuses when we 
didn’t want to do something or we wanted
to avoid someone.
Pretending to be Ignorant, when we are not
is lying as well. 
Deceit is LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Misleading is a form of lie and deceit!!!!!!!!!!!!

We make excuses everyday for one reason or another. 
We lie to ourselves more than we lie to each other. 
How sad is that? 
It is very sad to me!

Lying comes in many forms. 
Lying can seem ok at the time. 
Lying can even seem like it is the right thing to do.
But according to God’s Holy Anointed Word
lying is never ok. 
Lies come from the master of deceit, Lucifer. 

 Lying is a very dangerous sin.
It is a sin that is over looked, 
dismissed, downplayed 
and ignored. 
It just sneaks in the back door
of our brain…laying in wait for the 
perfect opportunity to come out. 

We as followers of Jesus Christ 
must crucify our flesh and nail 
that stupid sin to the cross every 
single time it raises its ugly head. 

Leviticus 19:11 KJV
“Ye shall not steal,
neither deal falsely,
neither LIE one to
 another.”

Leviticus 19:11 NIV
“Do Not Steal, 
Do Not Lie,
Do Not Deceive 
one another.”

Proverbs 14:5 KJV
“A faithful witness 
will not LIE;
but a false witness
will utter LIES.” 

Proverbs 14:5 NIV
“An honest witness 
does not deceive, but
a false witness pours 
out lies.”

Colossians 3:9 KJV
“LIE not one to another,
seeing that ye have put 
off the old man with
his deeds.” 

Colossians 3:9 NIV
“Do not lie to each 
other, since you have
taken off your old
self with its practices.” 

James 3:14 KJV
“But if ye have bitter
envying and strife
in your hearts,
glory not, and LIE
not against the truth.” 

1 John 1:6 KJV
“If we say that we have
fellowship with Him,
and walk in darkness,
we LIE, and do not 
the truth.” 

Truth isn’t always easy!
Truth more often than not 
is painful!! 
Truth can cause great
emotional pain and sorrow.
Truth has broken up marriages, 
partnerships, divided church
members…..
Truth has caused wars in nations. 
Telling the truth is 
not an easy thing to do in many
cases. 
But to become more Christ like….
We must tell the truth in every 
situation.

We must have a repentive heart…
We must tell the truth….
We must seek out righteousness…..

If we are to become more Christ like
daily….then we MUST NOT LIE!!!

Walk in truth daily and watch your
personal oneonone relationship
with the Father become closer
and closer every single day. 
It is a beautiful thing 😀 

To Tell The Truth Is To Walk In Righteousness!!!!!!!!!!!! 
To Tell The Truth Is To Walk In The Light Of God!!!!!!!!!!!!
To Tell The Truth Is To Walk In Peace With the Lord!!!!!!!!!!

What will you chose to do today?
Walk in Truth? 
or
Walk in lies? 

It is Your decision, it is my decision every 
single moment of every single day to 
follow Christ or to follow satan? 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Dear ones……
It is my heart’s desire that we each receive this
message as encouragement to overcome the 
weapons the enemy of God has laid out for us to stumble
and fall into. The enemy of God wants us to 
fall into these traps of sin…these pits that 
are able to capture us and hold us in ungodly
bondage.  
It is my desire to share with each of you these messages
of encouragement and correction so each of us may
overcome the pitfalls of the devil.

May God bless you dear one with a beautiful 
walk with Jesus today…walking in Spirit and 
in Truth  😀
