YOU ARE ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED

Dearly Beloved friend, although rejection is a very bitter pill to swallow, don’t let it define but distinguish you.

This [Jesus] is the Stone which was despised and rejected…but which has become the Head of the corner [the Cornerstone]. [Ps. 118:22.]

(Acts 4:11 AMPC)

During the first advent of Jesus Christ, even His own people rejected Him. But today, HE is distinguished as the Only way to eternal life, and the best model of success. 

He never allowed the opinions of people to make Him lose focus from His mission. He stated very clearly, “My meat is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to finish His work” (Read John 4:32)

Let that be one of your guiding principles in life.

Another person who was rejected and discriminated against, was Jephthah.

 His siblings shamed him publicly, called him the son of a prostitute, ran him out of town, and did not allow him to inherit with them.

How Jephthah must have hurt. I feel his shame and pain!

His humiliation was legendary, which attracted worthless people who joined him in exile. 

And then God intervened, and everything turned in his favor.

(Things are already turning in your favor)

Jephthah’s town came under attack by a fearful enemy. And the leaders of the town  bypassed protocol to ask help from Jephthah. 

(Surely, protocol has been bypassed and you are blessed 🙌)

Jephthah wisely negotiated the terms and conditions with them, and returned as the ruler and commander of the town! (Read the story in Judges 11)

What a supernatural divine intervention! GOD must completet your restorations in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️ 

Instead of wallowing in self pity, or bemoaning the circumstances of your birth, your nationality, age, marital status, or lack of education, put your God-given gifts and talents to good use.

Jephthah at the lowest point of his life, was on top of his rejection! He led a band of rebels/worthless people and turned them into a fearful army!

You should refuse to allow rejection to turn you into a bitter, angry, antagonistic, vindictive, manipulative or wicked person!. You are ACCEPTED in the Beloved. 

Here are some life’s hack for transcending Rejection Biblically:
  1. Get wisdom- Ingest and metabolize the Word of God insightfully. (Proverbs 4:5-6)
  2. Get understanding- (Proverbs 4:7) – Develop good judgment

 Wisdom and understanding are the capital you need to invest in any project.

  1. Focus on your mission-(John 4:32)
  2. Be the best with what you have- strive for excellence: for if you are diligent, you will attract the favor of great people. (Proverbs 18:16, 22:29)
Prayer:

I pray that you will come to the knowledge that you are God’s Special possession and that Divinity is at work in you. And that you have the creative abilities of God in you. 

From today, those who despised and rejected you, will become servants for your joy, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️.

#29: Today’s Prayer: Faith For Healings 3.

Bible Reading:

 “And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. (Luke 8:10 KJV)

Introduction:

A mystery is a principle of the Kingdom that is expounded in scriptures to enable us maximize the benefits of Redemption.

It is so sad that denominational dogmas have kept many in bondage to satan, sin, sicknesses, and diseases; because they misunderstand the Gifts of God.  Which have disabled  their followers  from enjoying the full benefits of Redemption.  

That is the reason we are telling you that Jesus Christ  has paid for your sins, and taken the penalties away through His substitutionary work on the Cross. 

Read how when Christ forgave the sin of the paralytic in  Matthew 9:2, Mark 2:1-12, and healing manifested.

Let’s Reason together:

If disobedience by One man – Adam, activated the ‘law of sin and death’, how much more then, would the obedience of one Man Jesus Christ, save people from sin and its consequences, by activating the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus ? ( Read 2 Corinthians 5;21, Romans 5:12-21, 8:2)

Biblically, the usage of the English  word ‘save’ , is translated from Hebrew sózó, (from sōs, “safe, rescued”) (4982) is a verb,  which means  to deliver or protect, save, heal, preserve, do well  or make whole.

The Greek sṓzō is the root from which “Savior” (4990 /sōtḗr), and ” Salvation” (Greek 4991 /sōtēría)  and the adjectival form, (4992 /sōtḗrion) which means; “saved/rescued from destruction and brought into divine safety, are derived.

We are commanded as Christians to cast down imaginations which includes, ideologies, philosophies, theologies, rational thinking, denominational dogmas and everything else that exalts itself  against the knowledge of God, and to bring every thought to obedience of Christ (See 2 Corinthians 10:5)

WE are to also prove all things and to hold fast to what is good. (See 1 Thessalonians 5:21)

Those who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ are his disciples and the Truth will set you free ( Read John 8:31-32)

The sacrifice of Jesus Christ as Savior, redeems all who come to Him.

Forgiveness of sins lead  to spiritual and physical healings.

Is there any area of your life that you need healings today ?

I challenge you  to Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ so that you can be properly delivered out of satan’s dangerous web of deceit, and live in safety of the sons of God. (Acts 26:18)

Never forget that in Christ JESUS  the believers are rescued from the penalty and power of sin – and into God’s supernatural provisions.

1- Just worship in songs and pray in tongues 

#PrayerPoints4Today (5mins)

2- The entrance of God’s Word brings enlightenment and deliverance. Proclaim that this Word is producing results of what it says in your life and family – leading to forgiveness of sins and healings from all sicknesses, diseases or disorders!

3- Command all the symptoms of sicknesses, diseases or disorders to stop and never come back again. 

4- Thank God for forgiveness of sins,  healings and the grace to enjoy Divine Health.

5- Pray for all sick folks to encounter Jesus Christ, and to receive the Gifts of salvation, healings, deliverance, wellness, protection, safety and prosperity, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

See you tomorrow .

Broken Promises:

Greetings dear friend.

“The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand…”(Isaiah  14:24)

God is a Promise Keeper and Miracle worker. If HE has spoken, HE will surely bring it to pass.

In one of my recent articles, I referred to the fact that the human heart is desperately wicked and beyond our understanding.

And that it is better to trust in God than to put your confidence in ‘Man’.

The reason it is better to invest your confidence in God is that it will bring you great profit in the long run.

Although people misguidedly say that “what God cannot do does not exist”, we know that God cannot lie and He cannot deny Himself, because He is a faithful God. 

If you have received assurances or Promises from another human being and trust that person implicitly, then you have set yourself up to be hurt.

Here is why:

When people make promises, they mean well. Except for some vile and mean persons who may tell you what you need to hear, in order to take advantage. 

But the majority of those who make promises  may mean well. 

However, you should always bear in mind that circumstances beyond their control can interfere with their plans. And they may not be able to keep their promises. Because they are mere mortals. 

To avoid the hurt failed promises brings:

1- Guard your heart diligently by not  building your life on or around the promises- anything can happen.

2- Undergird yourself with Biblical principles: one of which is to Trust God with all your heart. And cast both the promises and the one who made the promise to God.

3- Pray until the promises are fulfilled.

4- War against the forces of evil and ban them from interfering. 

5- Keep uplifting in prayers, the one who made promises to you

6- Keep a very small circle in the know until the miracle happens (God, You and the one who promised and perhaps a prayer partner) 

In addition, You can share it with your larger circle after it is done. That way, you minimize interference from Friendnemies. 

I hope this helps you to put things in perspective. 

Prayer:

I pray that those who made promises to you are enabled to keep it, and that God will be glorified, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior, April 19th, 2023.

#28: Today’s Prayer- Faith For Miraculous Healings 2.

Bible Reading:

“Surely he hath…carried our sorrows.” (Isaiah 53:4b KJV)

Introduction:

Previously, we discussed the great significance of the verb borne.

Today, we shall discuss the second significant verb, carried, derived from Hebrew cabal. Which means, ‘to bear something as penalty” 

It is used also in Isaiah 53:11:

“For he shall bear their iniquities” 

The same word is used in both instances with respect to our sins and sicknesses. 

Remember in previous articles that we discussed that sin is the major cause of sickness.

Therefore, if Christ Jesus bore the penalty for my sins and bore my sicknesses, then I’m free from the burden of sin and the scourge of Sicknesses. 

I pray that your understanding will be enlightened, so that you can catch the revelation, that healings and DIVINE health are also included in the  salvation package.

Prayer

I pray also that from these articles, faith will grow up in you and you shall use the shield of faith always against ALL sicknesses, diseases and disorders that try to come against you- your beliefs system In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray.

#PrayerPoints4Today (10 mins)

1- Thank God as you spend time in worship and praying in tongues. 

2- If you are of the school of thought that your sickness is a penalty for your sin, then you are accusing God of unjustly extracting payment twice for sin, which is against the law of double jeopardy.

a)- Repent – apply the grace principle of 1 John 1:9.

b)- Ask God to forgive and to also help your unbelief. 

c)- Affirm that the Word of God is gaining ascendancy over all denominational dogmas and contrary beliefs that have made sickness breed in your mind and body. 

2- Command all the evil spirits of religion, unbelief, error, injustices, false accusations, and all other related demons, to leave your world and go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ.

3- Affirm that the Word of God is growing mightily in and through you, and producing what it says. 

4- Declare  that  nothing dies in you for the resurrection power is at work in you in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

5- Call out the name of whatever you were diagnosed with.  Tell it that its life-giving source has been cut off,  and it can No longer live in you, as in the days when you were ignorant to accommodate it.

6- Proclaim your healings and pray for all who are suffering from identical sicknesses and diseases. 

7- Thank God for your healings and pray in tongues and worship in songs. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly #TheSpiritualWarrior, April 18th, 2023

Your Problems are Leading to Praises 👏

Dear friend, never allow your past painful experiences cripple your life.

Your expectations shall become manifesting blessings, if you do not give up.

Because things didn’t turn out well does not make you a failure or a reject! Those things were necessary evils that should make you a better person.

Take a cue from the Apostle Paul.

Despite all odds, he kept striving towards his life goals. 

He explained his strategy thus: “13…This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” ( Philippians 3:13-14. KJV)

Your life’s goals are attainable:

1- Re-evaluate to identify the mistake.

2- Re-define your priorities. 

3- Re-invent yourself 

3- Re-strategize

Finally :

Holdfast to your confessions of faith. 

Refuse to back-down, back-off or back-up. 

Instead, press forward.

Develop the I CAN DO ALL THINGS ” Mentality. (Philippians 4:13)

Always affirm that your dreams, goals etc are born of God, therefore you are victorious over the world! (1 John 5:4)

If you believe in God, you must Believe in yourself.  Because God believes in you!

Do not allow narcissists or vile persons to make you think you are the problem.

Go forward!

#27: Today’s Prayer- Faith For Miraculous Healings 1

Bible Reading:

“Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.” (Isaiah 53:4a KJV)

Introduction:

Our opening scriptures have four important words; Borne, briefs, carried & sorrows- which we shall explain in order to help build up your faith for healing. 

Faith is the substance of what we believe.  And if you are  double minded, you’ll receive nothing from God.  For anything is possible if you believe. 

Firstly, the English word griefs, which is from the Hebrew cholly, is derived  from Hebrew  ‘chalah’ which means to be weak, sick, or afflicted, and is most often translated sickness.

Next, is  sorrows Hebrew makob which is generally rendered pain. 

Which explains why in Matthew 8:17, it is translated as:

“He himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses”

Finally are these two very significant verbs, borne (Hebrew nasa) and carried (Hebrew cabal).

Borne is also used in Isaiah 53:12 – ” He bore the sins of many”

From the usage of the verb in both verses of Isaiah 53:4 & 12, the word borne carries the sense that in the same manner in which Jesus Christ bore our sins- that is by suffering as our substitute, He also bore our sicknesses by suffering for them as well.

That means that just as the substitutionary work of Christ on the Cross freed me from my sins which he bore, I am also freed from my sicknesses which he also bore. 

Therefore if there are no sins in my account, there should not be any sicknesses and diseases in my account as well. 

How can I have what Jesus Christ has carried away? I am freed from the degenerative effects of sins!!! Hallelujah 

People of God, rest in the knowledge that just as there is forgiveness , there are healings for anyone who believes this Truth! Hallelujah.

#PrayerPoints4Today (10 mins)

1- Thank God for the substitutionary work of Christ on the Cross that freed you from Sins and diseases and sicknesses.

2- Ask God to forgive your unbelief and to help you to believe HIS Word.

3- Caĺl out your condition and tell it that it’s stay has expired – Jesus Christ already carried it away. 

Fight it ! Resist it. Keep telling it to get out, proclaiming your healings in Jesus mighty name 

See you tomorrow.

#26: Today’s Prayer: Miraculous healings 9- Causes of Sickness Summarized.

Bible Reading: 

Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.” (Romans 3:24 NLT)

Introduction:

The major causes of sicknesses that we have discussed are;

*The Sin factor, *The Genetic factor, *The evil spirits Factor (demonization) *The Aging Factor * Unhealthy lifestyle 

We established that God created Humanity as “very good”, and gave us volition ( the ability to choose).

Adam, representative of Humanity, chose to use his volition in a negative manner. He disobeyed God, and was cut off from the life-giving presence of God. 

That disobedience led to MAN ‘fall of Man from grace, and humanity becoming subservient to satan, activation of the law of sin and death,  and the commencement of the process of deterioration.

Since then, satan (with his forces of evils), sin, sickness, aging and death has plagued humanity.

The primary cause of Sickness is Sin. However, sin in the genes introduced corruption to the bloodline (Genesis 5:3), resulting in genetic diseases and disorders.

The secondary causes of Sickness are; evil spirits, unhealthy lifestyle, and Aging.

Furthermore, God did not leave Humanity in that helpless state.  In His infinite mercy, He intervened. He sent Jesus Christ to reconcile Humanity to Him. 

By dying on the Cross, Jesus Christ paid the wages of sin (Romans 3:23). 

Which freed humanity from the law of sin and death, and made regeneration , healings, Divine Health and long life possible.

In addition, HE delivered us from satan’s domain, restored our world to us, and gave us authority over all the forces of  evils. 

(Read 2 Cor.5:17, 1 Peter 2:24, Isa. 53:5, Matt. 8:17, Col. 1:13, Luke 10:19)

Anyone who places faith in Christ Jesus shall be saved. 

So you see, your healing is a done-deal! You should no longer accommodate sicknesses in your Body nor grant it further liberties in your Soul and Body!

The name of Jesus Christ and faith in Christ Jesus give complete healings to those who believe.  (study Acts 3:16)

#PrayerPoints4Today: (10mins)

1- Thank God for the Christ sacrifice that brought salvation, forgiveness of sins, deliverance, healings, reconciliation, restoration, and power over sin.

2- Affirm your Faith:

*-I … am born of God and thus not subject to the genetic diseases and disorders of Human descent.

*- I am filled with all the fullness of God and fully led by the Holy Spirit. 

*- Divinity is tabernacled in my Body and I can no longer yield to the basest instincts of the human nature

*- The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus at work in me outlaws death in my life. 

*- I have the mind of Christ therefore, wisdom, righteousness, salvation, deliverance, healings, and wholeness are manifesting through me to reach the world and point people to Jesus Christ 

*I shall fulfill God’s purpose for my life, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name .

See you tomorrow.

#2: Relationship Tips

Don’t sell yourself for less…

Gurl, don’t let no man make you feel worthless. You are priceless.  And the blessing some man has been praying for.  

Shut down this present relationship that is taking everything- draining you!

Go back to the prayer closet.

Talk to God about the desires of your womanhood, and let HIM use it for HIS glory.

As swiftly as the hawk swoops to grab a chick so shall your God ordained Beloved swoop on you. 

You shall share that testimony with us inbox , in Jesus name.

For thus says the Lord:

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior, April 15th. 2023

#25: Today’s Prayer: Miraculous healings 8 – Unhealthy Lifestyle

Bible Reading: 

“All things are legitimate [permissible–and we are free to do anything we please], but not all things are helpful (expedient, profitable, and wholesome). All things are legitimate, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life].” (1 Corinthians 10:23 AMPC)

Introduction:

The Bible teaches moderation and decency as a way of life for the Christian. (See Philippians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 14:40)

Even though we are free to do anything we please, we are not free from the consequences of our choices. 

For example, Sleep deprivation, unhealthy eating habits, addictions to prescriptions, substance abuse, unforgiveness, lack of physical exercises, workaholism, lack of personal hygiene, rest or relaxation, will eventually take its toll on health.

Therefore, even though as a New Testament Believer, you can argue that you are not under obligation to observe the Old Testament dietary laws, Good health demands it.

The Dietary laws are part of the Bible, which is the Manufacturer’s Manual from your Maker. 

Additionally, it is important to live by the Holy Book. Read the epistles- For example, Ephesians 4:22-23 teaches that you put away your old unregenerated behaviors ,”And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude],” (Ephesians 4:23 AMPC)

For further information on this subject, Study Leviticus 11:1-47, Deuteronomy 14:3-21, Romans 14:2-3, 24-15, Hebrews 13:9.

#PrayerPoints4Today: (10mins)

1- Be thankful that the grace of God that brings salvation to all Humans appeared to you and your household.

2- Acknowledge and repent from the sins you were convicted of as you read this message. (1 John 1:9) 

3- So far, I believe that you have now identified what you did  wrong and keep doing, that has now become the life giving source of your troubles- Be resolute in your mind and cut it off. 

4- Boldly Proclaim: 

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. This condition, sickness, addiction, unforgiveness etc, ends today! You cannot follow me to my new day! 

I refuse to continue to be victimized.  I am victorious by my faith in Christ Jesus.  The Master has set me free and I am free indeed. 

Therefore, you evil spirits of infirmity and demons of sicknesses, I cut off your connections to my Soul and Body. The Blood of Jesus is speaking better things about me. 

I am healed in my body, in my blood, in my bones, and all my organs are functioning optimally.  My skeletal framework is healed and free of all deformities.  My blood cells are purified. My genes are divinely modified and my eyesight and strength are sharper than the eagles.  I am blessed beyond cursed and I am a blessing to the world, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Thank God for all you are learning from us and spend some time in worship. 

Intercede-pray for others anytime you pray for God commands it.

See you tomorrow. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly,TheSpiritualWarrior  April 15th 2023.

Have you misplaced your Trust?

Dear people of God. You may be feeling very hurt because your trust was violated. 

This article will help you recover from this emotional abuse.

The Bible says, “Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5 AMPC)

When we judge humans by our own insight or understandings, we’ll very likely miss their hidden flaws. For according to Shakespeare, “There’s no art to find the mind’s construction in the face’ (Macbeth)

 Hence it is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Man (Psalm 118:8, kJV). For God sees not as man sees. Where man looks at the outward appearance, Godlooks at the heart. (See 1 Samuel 16:7 NASB1995)

 What Trust Involves:

To trust God is to have strong confidence in Him.

*- Do you believe that God loves you?

*- Do you believe that God is just and will Never be partial in judgment?

*- Do you believe that God’s thoughts towards you are thoughts of good and not evil, and to help you accomplish the purpose of your life? (See Jeremiah 29:11)

Ponder this :

*- If your earthly parents won’t give you a  snake as fish or bread as stone why can’t you trust God to give you good gifts and do right by you? (Matthew 7:11)

You can overcome trust issues:

Many of us developed trust issues because people we trusted betrayed us. And have now transferred these trust issues into how we relate with God. 

But God’s Word already cautioned that ‘the heart of man is full of deceit, desperately wicked, and beyond our understanding’ (See Jeremiah 17:9)

And if you put your trust in Humans, you activate a curse.(Read Jeremiah 17:5)

Curses enable failures.

When you trust people and you are betrayed, it affects the equilibrium of your life. And when you are disoriented, you can’t make progress or be productive.

Sad to say, but some people never come out of the pit of despair they are plunged into,due to misplaced trust. And they end up with debilitating mental health issues.

If you placed your trust in any Human being, you misplaced that trust. 

GOD commands that you love others as you love You. He didn’t say place your trust in them (See Mark 12:31)

If instead of love, you chose to trust, You gave access to that emotional abuser to take advantage of you.

 Repent and ask God to turn your mistake into a miracle and use it for His glory.

Personal Testimony;

Don’t think I am unfeeling or have all my ducks in a row. I am still a work in progress. 

I had a life defining encounter again, that made me struggle with trust for God. I said again  because something similar had happened in my younger days. 

This repeat lesson was necessary to reinforce the forgotten lesson that,’the Human heart is full of deceit and desperately wicked. 

Like any mere human, I blamed God for my misfortune. I lashed out at HIM for allowing such evil happen to me

In response, God pointed out that HE prompted me several times as to what was coming.  But I chose to ignore His Word and leaned on my own insight and understanding.

If, like me, you have misplaced your trust in humans instead of in God, repent and replace your trust in God, and  you will recover fast. And your emotions will heal completely.

Blessings of Trusting God:

1- You will enjoy stability, well balanced mind, boldness, bravery (2 Timothy 1:7, Isaiah 26:3; Psalm 125:1)

2- You will enjoy manifold blessings (Psalm 34:8, 40:4)

3-  You’ll Feel secure for God protects and defends those who trust in Him (Psalm 5:11, 18:30, 91:4)

For more blessings,  Read Jeremiah 17: 7-8 – very reassuring promises. 

Prayer:

I pray for healings over your wounded Soul, and ask that all past painful memories are deleted and you are granted a new lease of life, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ our Savior. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly #TheSpiritualWarrior April 15th 2023
