Rest  Weaponized:

Greetings people of God. 

It was a great week. But by Friday night,  all I wanted to do was just lay on the couch 🛋 and enjoy a long hot 🔥 cup of my special lemon and honey brew.

I was tired 😫.  But there was so much still to do- daily Bible Reading,  writing ✍️ , blogging, sharing to my social media accounts, and administer to my various pages and groups.

 In addition, there are emails and messages to read and respond to.

 And at the same time,  be good company also for my partner…..

Such an unending list of “to dos”.

I am so thankful to be alive,  because dead people do not have busy schedules!

Although I was really tired, I had to renew my strength in order to complete the remaining work. 

So far,  can you relate?

Have you ever been so ‘dog-tired’ you just want to crash on the sofa or bed?

Well, I work by myself to that place almost all weekends.

But how do I keep going and not suffer a total breakdown?

The secret is in the Bible,  which is God’s Manual for Humanity. 

“…They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31.

To wait upon the LORD  can be likened to doing as the ‘waiter’ does who serves you at your favorite restaurant. He/she takes your orders in order to fulfill your wishes.

In like manner, to wait on God involves service, trust, and hope. 

No matter how tired you are, when you serve God by being quiet in His presence, listening to either Christian worship music, Audio Bible Reading,  or softly praying in tongues, you will literally experience supernatural power flowing through you.

I encourage you to try it out, these work faster and better than popping pills, drinking caffeine, or energy boosters. 

When God is your hope, it means you trust in His abilities,  faithfulness, goodness, justices etc. And all your burdens will roll away for ‘no one prevails by strength’ (See 1 Samuel 2:9)

Hence Jesus Christ said in Matthew 11:28-30:

[28]…”Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matthew 11:28-30.

Indeed people of God,  when you let God teach you, you will not only find rest for your souls, but you  will be supernaturally empowered to do extraordinary things. 

If God created  the  eagle to be able to rise to great heights without a jet engine behind it, because its body has been designed to maximize the power of the air, thus enabling it to soar on unseen currents with effortless ease, how much more agile do you think the Born Again is?

The Born Again child of God  is a recreated spirit being who renews strength, at the place of meditation with God, and not with meds or the help of pharmaceuticals.

If in the past,  you resorted to pharmaceuticals in order to increase your energy levels, keep sane, control depression or tackle mounting problems,  you have been short-circuiting your power flow- you have an abnormal connection with God who is your Source and Resources. 

Stop and think 🤔 

You are more than a conqueror, you have been made victorious by your faith in Christ Jesus.

Rest is a weapon of Warfare that you can only activate for use at the place of Rest.

Set your mind on God not on the problems or heavy work schedule!

Finally, ponder this scripture verse:

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭30:15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

[15] This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it.

Let Us Pray:

Mighty God,  thank you for the entrance of Your Word that has illuminated  and brought rest to us.

 We acknowledge how we have not trusted you with all our hearts, and have sought to achieve excellence by our hard work alone. Whereas, it is useless to work so hard continuously and anxiously for necessities, when You our God does provide for Your Beloved even while they are still asleep (See Psalm 127:2).

We receive forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness,  as well as restorations to Your righteous standards. 

We receive more enabling grace to be able to cast our anxieties and cares upon You, as well as everything else that does not add value to us.

We affirm that we rest in You. We trust in You and hereby proclaim that we are indestructible, incorruptible, and  by Your Abundant and Boundless mercies,  we achieve good success and nothing can deter us from being light and salt in this world, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

Problems Pass Away!

When you are in a storm,  remember that the rough weather is just for a short time, it has not come to stay. It will definitely pass away!

Therefore,  stay focused on God and build up your relationship with Him.

He remains God long after the storm passes away!

Recently, the winter storm came calling, and the usual happened- snow, freezing temperatures, avalanches in some areas, interstate crashes, and related illnesses. 

Even though the snow stuck around for some days in our community, it has melted away! 

No matter how fiercely you are attacked by anything, you will still survive but you need that God-hold to get your life back together so that you can move on.

Just before winter,  the flu season 🤧 struck.  It was very predictable,  yet many became victims. 

Even though we got caught in the crossfire,  we were determined to not allow  the condition to set a standard for how to  confront it.

 Rather, we chose to apply God’s principles for Divine health and Divine healings in confronting it.

The more the symptoms persisted,  the more we held our grounds and fought back. 

We were determined to enter winter as “the healed!”

Thank God for our healings. 

 Although my husband’s condition was unrelenting, which necessitated a visit to the doctor,   the tests proved it was just the usual flu virus. But  this one just wanted to hang on to us.

And it was all over the news that there was a flu virus that seemed to like human company. 

Many found comfort in that news but I stood against it.

My point is this: 

Because it’s common does not give it the right to plague our household. Though we are in the world,  we are not of this world! 

Thankfully,  my husband joined the fight,  and it ended!

It just had to go away as it should!

Always remember that what you allow will stay on and torment you.  But what you disallow will always go away!

If you give the devil  a foothold, he will hold you strongly!

You must always hold fast to your beliefs, and confess your faith! That breaks the satanic hold always, and don’t forget that you are the righteousness of God and should live right!

Akway make declarations! Say the outcome you expect, not what you are experiencing, your feelings, or symptoms! They are lying vanities.

Those who observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy (Jonah 2:8)

Never be satisfied with the status quo. The only Good News is in your Bible- all others are bad news! 

The secular media is our reconnaissance team.  They provide the Spiritual Warrior intelligence  info for effective destruction of enemy targets. 

Secular media information is destructive if you use it to run your life- it will definitely ruin you.

 The Bible is the operational manual for your life, when you live by it,  your life will be very successful.

You are God’s change agent, let your life count for God. Be light and salt in the world. Add value to the lives.

Here is a Word from God to keep you focused. 

And remember that by Faith in Christ Jesus, as scriptures point out, you are God’s Prince/princess, His Israel, the seed of Abraham .

“…listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says, “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. 

When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. 

When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. Isaiah 43 1-2 NLT

Hallelujah.  Indeed, the Abundant and Boundless Mercy of God will show up always for you,  in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

General Spiritual Warfare Prayer 

Greetings people of God. Today, we are going to pray generally as led by the Holy Spirit of God.

For as scripture says in Romans

‭‭ ‭8:28‬, “We know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose. Romans 8:28, Amp

Let Us Pray:

ABBA Father, we are thankful that despite the inclement weather conditions,  Your abundant and boundless mercy continues to watch out for us.

Thank you for honoring Your Word so much so that no divination, sorcery, spells, jinxes, charms, evil soul ties, pacts, covenants, seals, or enchantments could function against us (See Numbers 23:23).

 We are grateful that all the evil spirits assigned to monitor,  interfere, vex, humiliate, depress, frustrate, intimidate,  manipulate,  control, or torment us have been rendered impotent and disconnected from everything that pertains and relate to us.

From today,  we affirm the removal, destruction, disintegration, or annihilation of all the bars of iron, gates of brass and other limitations, barriers, bans, embargoes or restrictions  over our healings, marital stability, excellent parenting, faith, financial breakthrough, economic prosperity, wholeness,  welfare, career opportunities, and excellence in life and ministry.

We are grateful that in accordance with Your Word that  states that the path of the Just is like the light of dawn that shines brighter and brighter  until it reaches its full strength and glory (Proverbs 4:18), we proclaim that all our endeavors in life and ministry, are full of glory, honor, and good success.

We declare that we shall continue to walk the pathways of excellence in all facets of life and our ministry Callings.

We put away from us deceitfulness, lying, double standards, and other unfruitful works of darkness and refuse to have any fellowship with them.

We command the severance of associations or relationships, as well as the shut-down of activities that give evil spirits access to our lives. 

We proclaim that in this new season of Abundant And Boundless mercy, we shall no longer experience unpaid bills, unemployment, infirmity, lack, frustrating circumstances, psychological or physical abuses, ill-health or mental health issues,  and all other satanic projections, manipulations and attacks.

 Enough is enough.

We proclaim that the lines have fallen for us in pleasant places and we have a good heritage.

We are victorious, creative, innovative and insightful. 

We have clarity of vision, revelation knowledge, and are supernaturally endowed to be financial missionaries in the Body of Christ, and shall be wealthier than nations.

We shall continue functioning as the righteousness of God and not debtors to the flesh, for we are born of God and thus not subject to the economic restraints of the world .

Our new beginning has started, and everything is turning around for our good.

 The abundance of the seas come to us, and the accrued riches of the Gentiles are released to us.

With our wealth we shall propagate and publish the Gospel with acts of compassion, and all shall see our good works and glorify our Father God.

We are God’s change-agent in our world,and nothing can stop our advancement, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

‭‭Lessons From Winter:

Greetings dear people of God.

Change,  though constant, is never easy.

Leaving the warmth of the tropics for a place with cooler temperatures, is life changing.

I’m so thankful that the change gave me the opportunity to be more observant of my environment, and to appreciate God more.

As scripture says, “He who has ears to hear, let him be listening and let him consider and perceive and comprehend by hearing.” Matthew 11:15 AMPC

As my husband showed me the sights and took me on tours, the landscape was so beautiful with greenery everywhere!

The trees were so tall and luxurious. I could not help but plant a garden to transform my back and front yards. 

Then the leaves on trees started changing to red, golden, brown,  etc. Such beautiful colors and so inspiring!

Then suddenly, the weather reports said that there was going to be frost! 

Then I remembered that I was told to protect some of my plants from frost!  I sure did.

My first trip after the first frost,  provoked deep meditations! It was as if overnight,  the leaves were burnt off some of the trees!

As I looked at the trees and shrubs, I learned some lasting things. 

The bigger the trees, the worst  off they were after the first frost! They lost their leaves and looked burnt out!

Whereas, there were some frail looking trees who had luxurious leaves and still stood strong, even after the second frost attack. 

The strongest were the evergreens 🌲. They stood strong, and weathered the worst of the frost, snow, sleet, rains, etc. The inclement weather did not affect them so visibly as the others.  There were even shrubs who still survived and had beautiful leaves, through it all! 

Armed with these personal observations,  I began to consider why some Christians easily fall apart at the first signs of trouble.

Even though they may appear old in the faith and speak Christianese,  their roots may not be deeply rooted and grounded in the Word of God. 

Which leaves them bereft when troubles strike.

Do you know that unresolved root issues in life are the bane of the Christian?

When you deal with issues on the surface, without confronting the root causes of the problems,  you leave doors open for evil spirits to plague you continuously, in a never ending circle!

Therefore, If you really desire to weather the storms of life,  and stand strong like the evergreens 🌲,  you must learn how not to solve your problems with medication or behavior modifications alone! 

You must engage in Spiritual warfare and Spiritual Therapy!

Casting out evil spirits only solves a part of the problem.

For effective therapy, you must dig out the corrupt root systems in your life, and replace them with the everliving, incorruptible and indestructible Word of God. Which will effectively change your belief system and your fruits will be good.

Simply,  you must  live as light and salt in this world. Which means, you must live according to the Book- the Bible! 

Spiritual Warfare plus lifestyle changes will empower you to withstand adversities or prosperity!

As the Bible rightly states, “A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. 19 So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. 20 Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions  Matthew 7:17-20.

Even though the leaves fell off the trees, they will come on again. It’s a vicious circle! 😫 

Just like how  problems keep making circles in the life of some people, literally  stopping them from making progressions in life. 

Ask yourself, for how long do you plan on having the vicious circles of life torment you ?

I remember how someone said to me,”it’s flu season, allergies are part of life here,  go, get a flu shot to protect yourself ”.

And I’m like,  naaah! I’m not part of that equation. I am not of this world,  and the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. Divine health is my normal and not sicknesses, under any guise or disguise!

However, the allergies got to me! And some old ailment tried to resurrect!

But I fought them! 

That’s what spiritual warfare is all about- enforcing the victory of the Cross- by confronting forces of darkness and making lifestyle changes.

I dug into the root causes, confronted the forces of darkness who were taking advantage of the seasons to do wicked things, I built up my immunity, ate right, observed health laws, and I overcame it and drew the battle line!

 Enough is Enough!

I choose not to give the devil a foothold and I am victorious and remain so!. 

Many of us Christians are so accepting of the normal- just comfortable with  the usual  and the natural!

Noway! You are peculiar, now that you are born again! You are a supernatural and an extraordinary Being, recreated in Christ Jesus to display the excellent greatness of God in this ordinary, natural world!

Affirmations:

The seasons and everything in Creation works for my good 👍.  That is my belief and I’m holding to it!. No matter what is going on around me, I am confident that He who began a good work in me will be able to complete it! Hallelujah!

Let us pray:

Father God,  thank you that the righteous are like a tree planted by the riverside and we produce evidence of our faith in You.

Thank you for working in us, both to will and to do of your good pleasure. And therefore, everything we do, including our health, relationships, career, etc continually prosper well. 

 We stand against all the forces of evils who are trying to enforce evil standards and cyclical issues in our lives. 

We thank You for the grace to identify root issues,  the tactics of eliminating all, and the enabling grace of restorative healings, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior,  Jan. 17th, 2024.

Giving up is not an Option:

Hey people of God.

Beautiful day, negative 6 temperatures 🌡,  and it feels like negative 18!

However, we got power indoors to stay warm!

Now, consider those without power, shelter, food or warm clothing!

Let Us Pray:

Father, thank you for this new day,  new life,  new experiences and the challenges of living a Godly life in Christ.

We are grateful for your loving care, abundant and boundless mercies that keeps us going even when all around us seem to be freezing 🥶 up or facing hardships. 

We lift up those who are right now not in a good place   with their health, finances, food, housing, relationship, etc, and ask that You intervene to help them overcome them. 

Touch their friends, neighbors,  families to minister of their substances to them,  to alleviate their sufferings right now,  in Jesus Christ matchless name we pray. Amein .

Weaponizing faith in God:

If you can just spend a few seconds to check your life in retrospect, you’ll discover that you made awful decisions, and acted in error  when you were most afraid. Which further complicated your life. 

However, if you make God your confidant, and discuss all your fears with Him in prayers,  faith will well up in you,  and you’ll act right.  

That’s why the Bible says:

“Every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. 1 John 5:4, NLT

When you weaponize your faith,  you have to trust God enough to cast your cares on Him, and be obedient to God’s Word. 

Your obedience to God disables the spirit of error and other related evil spirits. 

And when you are no longer influenced by the spirits of fears,  errors and their relatives, you’ll be victorious over all satan’s devices, and you’ll never be captive of the fear of man which is a snare/trap!

Choose your fight!

Some battles are so unnecessary!

Be wise my friend. 

It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. 

Weaponize your faith today! 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly,  TheSpiritualWarrior,  Jan  15th 2024

God causes all things (including inclement weather) to work together for my good:

Good morning dear people of God. As we looked out our window this morning,  there it was- A squirrel!. 

The Squirrel was happily cracking nuts on the tree in our front yard, despite the snow and zero temperatures!

Are you scared 😱 of how the weather is performing this season?

I can relate! 

The weather reports though informative,  can be very stressful 😫 

However, God is bigger than the weather. 

 Therefore, Selah! Stop  and think.

 If God could protect animals in this weather, believe it when God’s Word says, ” the sun shall not smite you by day…Psalm 121:6

You can personalize that scripture by affirmation! Here we go! Say this !

‘ The Lord himself watches over me! The Lord stands beside me as my protective shade.  The sun, snow or sleet will not harm me by day, nor the moon or adverse weather conditions at night.

 For the Lord keeps me from all harm and watches over my life. And the Lord will always keep watch over me, as I come and go, both now and forever, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ 

(Psalm 121:5-8, affirmed)

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly,  TheSpiritualWarrior,  Jan. 15th, 2024.

Don’t let anyone frustrate your faith with a guilty conscience:

Dear people of God.  

You need to know Who God is and where you are with Him. 

Refuse to allow anyone to frustrate your faith in God. 

I hear it all the time how religious bigots would refuse to let your past go, and continue to throw it in your face.

Don’t let it get to you.  All you need to hold fast to is that, 

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9; BSB)

Now that you are born again, you are a new creation.  Old things are passed away! You have been given a new lease on life and have been made righteous. (See 2 Corinthians 5:17)

However, your new life needs a strong dosage of daily Bible reading for your growth to notbe stunted. 

Hence the Bible says, “Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment. (See 1 Peter 2:2)

Without daily Bible reading, your New born Spirit will be weak, and the old sin-nature will dominate it. And you will be flooded with those feelings of guilt and inadequacies. 

In that weakened state, you’ll become prone to curses, suffer mental health issues, develop psychosomatic disorders, and demonization. 

It is in your best interest to fortify yourself by what is known as the Daily Christian Discipline, which involves the following:

* Regular Prayers to God, 

* Personal Bible study (you can subscribe to a free Daily Devotional or Bible Reading Plan online- check out YouVersion, I’ve found them helpful)

* Fast intermittently- helps to develop self-control

* Fellowship with other Believers and, 

* Share your faith with others-just simply tell others how you overcome problens.

Your faith needs to grow or else you will become a casualty of spiritual warfare – demons will make your life a living hell here on earth.

Prayer:

Faithful God, thank you for giving me your Divine nature as well as everything I need for life and Godliness.

Forgive me for not believing your Word and allowing myself to follow the voice of the stranger. 

I reaffirm my faith in You and now walk in righteousness, excellence, productivity, health and wisdom.

I affirm that I have all I need in You for you are my sufficiency, in Jesus’s mighty name. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior, Jan. 11, 2024

#10 Abundant and Boundless Mercy: Embracing the Spirit of Wisdom

The Bible says, “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom….” (1Corinthians 1:30)

ABBA Father, 

We are grateful  that Christ Jesus, the Wisdom of God,  lives in me. And I am supernaturally enabled to make wise choices and  decisions that reflect this. 

I affirm that because the Spirit of wisdom is at work in me, the spirits of error, fear, indecision, timidity, confusion and their relatives are banished from my thought processes, from my world,  and from my relationships. 

Thank You Father, that Your enabling grace at work in and through me is evidenced daily, through words  and actions are in sync with Your plans, purposes and will for my life and for the world. 

For it is You O God who is working in me, both to will and to do of your good pleasure. 

Thank You also  for the grace to function by divine insight, and to excel in all that I set out to do, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior, Jan 10th 2024.

#9 Abundant and Boundless Mercy: A prayer for marital stability. 

Text: ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭5:18‬ 

 Let thy fountain be blessed: And rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Proverbs 5:18, KJV.

The Bible says that marriage is honorable and the bed undefiled. 

Which speaks of the high value God has placed on marriage. 

That notwithstanding, ❤️ many marriages are at their worst because of unfulfilled expectations. 

Before we pray, here are some guidelines to help you overcome major marital challenges. *See Proverbs 5:15-21)

  1. Have a grateful heart attitude about your partner. Always thank God for your partner.
  1. Follow the  biblical recipes for marital success-
  1. Husbands love your wives. 
  2. Wives submit to your husbands
  3. Both of you submit to each other and to God See Ephesians 5:25-29.

   3. Flee all appearances of evil (1 Thess 5:22)   Beware of emotional communications, especially via social media,  that excludes your spouse. Do not keep secrets from each other. 

   4. Be determined to share sexual intimacy with your spouse alone, and commit to being sexually satisfied with your partner. ( See Proverbs 5: 16-17,19-20) .

    5. Renew your mind and change how you see your spouse- and be quick to forgive and let go. It helps to pray and study together 

    6. Be realistic in your expectations and share your finances, aspirations, and life goals  with your spouse,- it fosters understanding and trust.

    7. Read Proverbs 5: 21-23 to strengthen your resolve to never entangle yourself in adultery- it ends in open shame.

Say this Prayer:

Father God, thank you for my spouse.  I acknowledge my lack of appreciation, idolatrous and adulterous thoughts,  as well as other negative behaviors in my marriage.

I receive forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness.

I ask Father, that You enable my spouse to forgive me easily, and to not give up on our marriage.

I refuse to grant further liberties in my marriage, to anger, lies, resentment, unforgiveness,  bitterness, unrealistic expectations,  fault-finding, victim mentality, greed, selfishness,  addictions, addictive behaviors,  cheating, secrecy,  and other evils.

I command to go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ,  all the evil spirits influencing anxiety,  negative behaviors, disharmony, quarrels, disagreements,  disunity, vexation and related evils.

I pray that You bring us to unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace and grant us more grace to enjoy our marriage.

Deliver us from financial ruination, and interferences from family,  friends or foes who seek to frustrate our marriage.

Let my marriage preach the Good News O God.

Today,  our marriage is rededicated to You ABBA Father, and we ask that by your Abundant and Boundless mercy, you restore our marriage to Your original ideal for Godly marriages.

I recommit to my marriage vows and declare the following:

Husband:

I, … affirm that, …  (spouse name) is my wife, whom I’ll love even as Christ loves the Church, I’ll protect and care for her: and stand with her in the faith of the gospel of Jesus Christ,  in health, prosperity and joy; and also stand with her  in the faith of the gospel of Jesus Christ against sickness, poverty, and death all our lives.

I, …  according to the word of God and the statement of my vows have joined myself to you … (wife’s name) to be your husband, friend, and partner. From henceforth, we are one.

Wife:

My Vows:

” I. .. , (your name) do affirm that … . ( spouse name) is my husband. I’ll submit to him as the head of this union, I’ll stand with him in the faith of the gospel of Jesus Christ in health, prosperity and joy and also stand with him in faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ, against sickness, poverty and death all our lives.

According to the word of God and the statement of my vows, I affirm that I’m joined to you …  (Husband’s name) to be your wife. From henceforth, we are one:

Thank You Father God for restoring our ability to Love each other and to model our marriage after the relationship with Christ and His Bride the Church.

Bless our children and bloodlines with happy marriages,  mental stability, economic successes, and the grace to serve you with their lives and wealth, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

Personal:

Thank you everyone who follows this posting daily.

This marks the end of the 40 days of prayer and fasting which started by Dec. 1, 2023.

It was a very rough road paved with physical sickness and God helped me through it all.

Thank you to those special family members and friends who prayed over me during it all. I pray God to richly reward your labor of love,  in Jesus Christ matchless name ❤️ 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior, Jan 9th, 2024.
