I RISE!!!

Fear is one of the weapons and tatics the devil uses to keep us down, feeble, slumped over in battle and afraid to progress in purpose and our destiny.  When fear grips your mind and your heart, it can paralyze you.  It can leave you paranoid; paranoid to do anything God requires you to do, because of the constant attacks and advances of the enemy against you.  But today, I decree and declare that WE WILL NOT LIVE IN FEAR OF OUR ENEMIES, in Jesus name! GOD HAS GIVEN US POWER, LOVE AND A SOUND MIND (2Timothy 1:7/Amplified Version).  And so today, I prophesy, I RISE!

Do you feel that?  Do you feel an "I RISE" in your spirit?  You should, because today is the day, YOU RISE IN AND TO POWER, IN VICTORY AND YOUR DESTINY! Amen.

Now, as I have experienced throughout my own journey to greatness, you will experience hardship, opponents and barriers of opposition that will work profusely to intimidate you and hinder you from ever believing God has called you to greatness and has placed HIS DREAM and HIS THOUGHTS of you in your heart.  We all have a built-in program in our hearts that partners with our core intelligence (mind) and our psyche that communicates the will of God for our lives.  This built-in program from God is called what Romans 8:29-30 calls, pre-destined (to destine from the beginning; foreordain).  Psalm 139:13-17 says, "For YOU did form my inward parts; YOU did knit me together in my mother's womb. I will confess and praise YOU for YOU are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth!  Wonderful are YOUR works, and that my inner self knows right well.  My frame was not hidden from YOU when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroided with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery].  YOUR eyes saw my unformed substance, and in YOUR book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them.  How precious and weighty also are YOUR thoughts to me, O GOD! How vast is the sum of them.

So, before anyone ever predicted how your novel would begin and end, God already established to give you a hope and a wonderful future in Him.  Now, we are at constant war with which one will have mastery over us, prophesy or prediction? Nevertheless, I believe with all my heart that we who refuse to believe the lies of the devil and surrender to his devices will indeed enjoy God's best for our lives! Amen.

Now, I sense the lioness from the tribe of Judah rising, laying passively no longer. A warrior with dignity, beauty and strength! SHE HAS RISEN AND NOW SHE ROARS OVER HER KINGDOM WITH STRENGTH AND COURAGE.  She is NO LONGER paralyzed by the lies and demeanor of her enemies.  She sheds her fears, tears, inadequacies and insecurities.  SHE IS CROWNED WITH HONOR AND LONG-LIFE. She's not worried about what she doesn't have, because what she does have is enough to bring her into her destiny.  AND SO TODAY, I RISE!

She isn't pompous by any means.  She walks with confidence and governs with finesse. She isn't overbearing, and her presence is always welcomed in the room. She watches out for the well being of her young and nurtures them with tenderness (Judges 4-5; Psalm 144:12-15; Proverbs 14:1-2, 15:1,2 &7, 16:24,32, 31:10-31).

She welcomes her beloved KING.  She is utterly dependant upon HIM.  She isn't intimidated by HIS expectations or HIS history, but brings healing, clarity and stability to it without stipulations across the globe (Isaiah 6:1-8).  ROLL YOUR WORK UPON THE LORD [COMMIT AND TRUST THEM WHOLLY TO HIM; HE WILL CAUSE YOUR THOUGHTS TO BECOME AGREEABLE TO HIS WILL, AND] SO SHALL YOUR PLANS BE ESTABLISHED AND SUCCEED.  THE LORD HAS MADE EVERYTHING [TO ACCOMMODATE ITSELF AND CONTRIBUTE] TO ITS OWN END AND HIS OWN PURPOSE--EVEN THE WICKED [ARE FITTED FOR THEIR ROLE] FOR THE DAY OF CALAMITY AND EVIL (Proverbs 16:3-4).

She rises with this song in her heart, cause me to hear THY lovingkindness in the morning; for in THEE do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto THEE.  Teach me to do THY will; for THOU art my GOD: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness (Psalm 143:8,10).

A lioness isn't impulsive, but discerning. She reserves her strength for important matters and for war.  Her LORD is her ROCK, her keen and firm STRENGTH, WHO teaches her hands to war (stratgically, instinctively) and her fingers to fight --My steadfast LOVE and my FORTRESS, my HIGHTOWER and my DELIVERER, my SHIELD and HE in WHOM I (confidently) trust and take (absolute) refuge, WHO subdues my people (Israel) under me (Psalm 144:1-2).

A lioness rises in strength and confidence.   Her assurance rest on this one thing, BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOM YOU DISCIPLINE AND INSTRUCT, O LORD, AND TEACH OUT OF YOUR LAW, THAT YOU MAY GIVE HIM POWER TO KEEP HIMSELF CALM IN THE DAYS OF ADVERSITY, UNTIL THE [INEVITABLE] PIT OF CORRUPTION IS DUG FOR THE WICKED.  FOR THE LORD WILL NOT CAST OFF NOR SPURN HIS PEOPLE, NEITHER WILL HE ABANDON HIS HERITAGE.  FOR JUSTICE WILL RETURN TO THE UNCOMPROMISINGLY] RIGHTEOUS, AND ALL THE UPRIGHT IN HEART WILL FOLLOW IT.  Isn't that GOOD NEWS, love ones? EXCEPTIONAL NEWS I must say so myself!!! Lol... Yeah!  And so, I rise in the strength, and the power and the authority of my GOD and my KING! ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

DESIRING TO PLEASE GOD

Sitting at the park in the car spending time with God and the voice of God says to me, "God requires all."  (Eyes filled with tears.) All means everything; not partial, a snipet or a fraction, but all.  God requires my wholeheart devotion (Deuternomy6:5). When we quote that Scripture we say it passively. However, this Scripture demands loyalty from all parts of you, even parts of your life you counted as minute or insignificant. Yeap!  He's coming for those areas too.

MERCY LORD.👐

To love God; to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ will require a decision that will alter the direction of your life FOREVER. Decisions are sometimes DIFFICILT, but its usually the difficult decisions that lead you to destiny and a brighter future.  Luke 14:25-28, 33 Amplified version says, Now huge crowds were going along with [Jesus], and He turned and said to them, If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his [own] father and mother [in the sense of indifference to or relative disregard for them on comparison with his attitude toward God] and [likewise] his wife and children and brothers and sisters-- [yes] and even his own life also-- he cannot be My disciple.  ...So then, any of you who does not forsake  (renounce, surrender claim to, give up, say good-bye to) all that he (or she) has cannot be My disciple.  (Tears but no regret).

However, God never ask anything of us that He doesn't have in His power or strength or plan to restore.  God is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams] (Ephesians 3:20), but you have to fully rely on and trust Him.  Sometimes the people, places and things God ask us to give up are not compatible or sound for where God is taking us.  We may not grasp that right away and find ourselves fighting for the very thing God is asking us to surrender and give up.  But thank God for those in your circle that can see it and be your eyes and help steer your heart in the way of God's purpose for your life.

Moreover, we have to trust that God is not a man that He should (ever) tell or act a lie, neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance or compunction [for what He has promised].  Has He said and shall He not do it?  Or has He spoken and shall He not make it good?  Tell yourself, God's going to do it again and this time around, God's going to make it ALL good.  Whoo!  Glory to God!

The Test of Loyalty 

Sometimes, God ask for people, places and things that we have prized above Him, and He will ask us like He did Peter, "Do you love Me more than these (John 21:15-17). The test of loyalty will call to the red carpet your attitudes, your heart, your motives and even your failures, and command you to reflect, confess and totally surrender. God cannot send us out if we are overwhelmed with doubt, defeat, despair and disdain.

Yeap?  That's right.  Peter was internally battling all of this, and Jesus knew it.  Jesus whole angle of conversation with Peter was not to publicly shame him in front of his peers and brothers, but to let him know that after a public fall and shame you can be publicly restored back to the call of leadership by one on one discipleship with the One who called you.

My God!  Wow!  I am full. 😭  TODAY GOD SAYS, YOU ARE WORTHY EVEN AFTER A FALL.

Sometimes our fall from the call is a result of our own doing and sometimes it's the result of another's wrong doing, but whatever the circumstance maybe GOD IS ABLE TO RESTORE YOU.  Amen.

Desires

Peter had to be restored on account of his desires to defend himself.  But if we want to be used of God, we have to die to even the desire to defend ourselves.  That's why Jesus told him to pray.  He knows the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.  Whatever you do, do not retaliate. 

Everyone's desires are different, but whatever it is, we have to be willing to tarry in prayer and practice discipline over the desire until it is subject to the Spirit of God and the Word of God.  Desires aren't wrong, because the Bible would not have said that God will give us the desires of our heart.  It's more on what we desire and how we desire it and why we desire it.

Desire is STRONG!  But God is STRONGER! There are certain desires that make your heart race and everything within you stand at attention, but in that moment that's when we have to be quick to run to God or be overtaken by desire.

It's not that I myself don't have desires, because I do!  Lord have mercy!  But that which I desire, has to be brought to me God's way, and as tempting as it is to yield to desire, I am willing to wait, because I want desire to be a lifetime and not just a fleeting moment.   When my desire is to please God first then desire becomes my destiny.   Whoo... I am shouting right there!👣👣👣

When we love someone or something, they have our loyalty, and all our heart, we don't want to be the cause of them losing momentum in their purpose and destiny.

So we wait and remain loyal to God and to his timing, even if it means being uncomfortable for a season, rather it be a job, promotion, health venture, relationship or friendship, or a call to ministry.

We all desire to be desired, honored, loved, wealthy, used by God, etc., but it has to be God's way.   And when it is God's way, He will bless you through people, places and things that you never even thought considered you, or even were worth their attention and time.  And you ask yourself, why me, when there are so many other people, places and things to choose from? WOW!!! God works in mysterious ways. 🤗 IT TRULY IS SUPERNATURAL and GOOD NEWS!!!

THE VALUE OF GODLY WISDOM

Theory vs. Truth

After some in depth reflection and meditation on this thought "Pulling down theory into reality", with the help of the Holy Spirit, I gather this revelation on this statement and the subject theory versus truth.  I must ask which is true?  Well, which ever one you believe in will become your truth or reality.  So your truth can still be foundated on an accumulation of lies and falsehood.  The antidote for this is found in Romans 12:1-2; 2Corinthians 10:3-6; Ephesians 4:22-24.  You have to submit your body to God and submerge your mind in the Word of God, then pull down these demonic strongholds that are an enemy to the truth.  Amen.

Both theory and truth are formulations and functions of the mind.  Truth is divine proceeding from the eternal God and theory is humanism stemming from the human intellect produced by reasoning and logical explaination.  Both can become a stronghold of the mind.  Truth leads to answers, while theory leads to never ending wondering and exploring but never really leading one to what is and how someone or something truly has come to exist.

Truth is based on revelation (John 14:17, 16:13), while theory is the result of a hardened heart (Romans 1:18-22/Amplified version).  The Bible instructs us to, "Let not mercy and kindness [shutting out all hatred and selfishness] and truth [shutting out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood] forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart. So shall you find favor, good understanding, and high esteem in the sight [or judgment] of God and man.  Lean not, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.  In ALL your ways {thoughts, actions, speech} know, recognize, and acknowledge HIM (God), and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths {journey}.  BE NOT WISE IN YOUR OWN EYES; REVERENTLY FEAR AND WORSHIP THE LORD AND TURN [ENTIRELY] AWAY FROM EVIL.  It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones (Proverbs 3:3-8/Amplified Version)." Amen.

Now truth leads to God and theory leads to hell and destruction.  Truth leads to what is true and WHO is truth.  While theory is the accumulation of data and researched material such as artifacts and information that support a hypothetical guess that isn't necessarily true.  Hmm...🙄

Theory is also a system of manmade opinions passed down from generation to generation but changes every so many years because a glitch is in the system, the structures and the standard.  Both can be studied, but only truth is revealed.  Truth is undistupted.  It's absolute and unchanging. I believe that we must become resolute in the absolutes (the Word of God).

If in any way we attempt to change divine law and redefine in anyway what God has set as the standard and structure for living, everything truth holds up and keeps together becomes makeshift and eventually will collapse, because humanism cannot anchor and hold up the weight of the eternal.  It just cannot.  It doesn't have the capacity to do so.

So, at the end of the day, truth trumps theory. (Good stuff, Holy Spirit!)  So, which would you rather build your life upon, the infallible foundation of truth or the fallible foundation of theory?  The choice is yours, love one.  You have the free will to choose, but I must warn you, choose wisely.  Amen.

Now let's continue our study.  TRUTH IS LAW.  It is made up of divine structures and systems and standards proceeding out of the heart of God and the mouth of God. These infallible truths hold the frame of the world and the universe in its set place (Hebrews 11:3; 2Peter 3:5). Truth is eternal; unchanging; it just is because God commanded it to be so.  Truth can be trusted.  It is accurate, correct, valid, authentic, certain, real, actual, law, principle.  So if you get truth you will inherit, upon request, godly wisdom (James 1:5-7).

The Bible says that, Jesus is the WISDOM of God revealed to mankind in human flesh (John 1:14; 1Corinthians 1:24).  The WISDOM of God is from everlasting to everlasting.  Jesus, the WISDOM of God by the Father, was inaugurated and ordained from the beginning.  WISDOM was there when God the Father prepared the heavens and drew a circle (the earth) upon the deep (the waters and the seas) and stretched the firmanent (the sky; the upper atmosphere) over it (creating scenery and boundaries). WISDOM was beside the Father as a MASTER and DIRECTOR of the work; and daily was the delight of the Father, rejoicing before Him always, rejoicing in His inhabited earth (all of Earth's creation/ Genesis 1-2) and delighting in the sons of men (Proverbs 8:22-31).

Godly WISDOM is beneficial!  WISDOM speaks.  WISDOM brings clarity.  WISDOM communicates truth and righteousness. WISDOM leads to more wisdom of the same kind.
WISDOM gives sound counsel and knowledge. WISDOM is mighty and powerful.  By WISDOM kings reign and rulers decree justice.  By WISDOM princes nobles, all judges and govenors of the earth rule.
WISDOM has a love language.  Riches and honor are with WISDOM, enduring wealth and righteousness (which is the fruit of holiness).  WISDOM will bring you into wealth, prosperity and good success. WISDOM will fill your bank accounts and bring abundance into your investing (Proverbs 8).  Let me stop and ask you, WHAT ARE YOU INVESTING IN?  Godly WISDOM or Humanism?

My God!  Glory to God!  Whoo...!  That right there deserves a praise break.👣👣👣👣

Invest in GODLY WISDOM, the absolute, infallible truths of God.  Amen.  You will go long and remain fortified, if this is your goal of seek and discipline.  My God!  JESUS!!!👐

CONDEMN NO ONE

The Bible admonishes us to condemn no one.  Do not make any hasty or premature judgments before the time when the Lord comes [again], for He will both bring to light the secret things that are [now hidden] in darkness and disclose and expose the [secret] aims (motives and purposes) of hearts.  Then every man will receive his {or her} [due] commendation from God (1Corinthians 4:5/Amplified Version).  So in other words, hold each other accountable, but don't jump the gun and get ahead of God and say who is condemned and who isn't, unless HE, through revelation or a word of knowledge instructs you to.  And He will sometimes do just that to warn someone they are on the brink of going to hell.  In that case, it is not the messenger that passed judgment but the God who reveals and rightly judges all things on the basis of His Word (John 12:47-48).

I do want to say this that the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of Wisdom or the Spirit of Truth sent from God the Father.  Furthermore, He is God.  He's not an agent of God or a force. HE IS GOD!  So when we lie to the Holy Ghost, we are actually lying to God Himself, because in God there is a three part triune being (trinity; 3 equal parts in one, unified in deity, semetry and standard).  In Acts 5:1-11 Anaias and his wife Sapphira lied about their business affairs.  Peter, using godly wisdom and insight into a matter, seeing through the disguise of falsehood and uncovering the truth, confronted the head first, like God did Adam when he fell into willful sin as the head, saying, "Why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to and attempt to deceive the Holy Spirit?"  Going further, Peter informs Ananias that he has lied not to man but to God. 😮. And the Bible says, in hearing from God, he fell dead.  And so did his wife because she consented to this lust for gain which led to their death and destruction (James 1:13-15; 1John 2:15-17).

Sound judgmemt from the Holy Ghost will hold us accountable for our dealings.  And as we see in this passage, like in Genesis 3, God will hold each party responsible for there part in sin.  Wow!  Peter did reveal that when something is in our possession we have every right to decide how we are going to go about using it (in a healthy way), but once we make our decision and give it to God in our hearts, it is sin to change our minds (Ecclesiastes 5:1-6).

I must admit, I have been guilty of doing this very thing in times pass.  I'll say what I am going to give to God and withhold the very thing I said I would give.  And wonder why I haven't seen the manifestation of a thing.  BUT HOW CAN I SEE THE MANIFESTATION OF A THING IF IT'S STILL IN MY POSSESSION?  Smh...😩

If we desire to see the manifestation of God's promises, we must give Him what we owe Him from our hearts and release it out of our hands into His.  We must give all. Total surrender.  Whoo!

Now let me say this, because I can truly relate to this.  If you have partnered with one in covenant, rather in business, ministry, marriage, friendship, etc. and you both agreed on keeping the agreement in your heart and one party decided to break what was committed to God repeatively and refuses to be truthful in their inward parts and dealings before God and the one they are in covenant with, God will in fact judge the guilty party rightfully according to the Word and release the other based upon the Scriptures.  BUT IT IS NOT THAT PARTIES JOB WHO IS INNOCENT TO VINDICATE THEMSELVES OR PREMATURELY JUMP THE GUN.  As power belongs to God, so does judgment, and God will judge the violator in His own timing and release the other from the broken covenant.

It is the job of the innocent to trust the timing of God and remain focused on loving God and the violator using discretion and listening for the voice of God as God commanded while pursuing God's will His way.  Amen.

DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO VINDICATE YOURSELF IN ANY MATTER.  IT ONLY BRINGS MORE PERIL.  WAIT ON GOD. VENGEANCE BELONGS TO GOD NOT YOU.

God's vindication cannot be contested.
The day of your release surely, I said surely shall come to pass.  It has already been set for a set time for a set season.  So remain set and wait for God's release and way out.  HE WILL MAKE A WAY FOR YOUR ESCAPE AND LEAD YOU TO SAFETY, UNTOUCHED, UNHARMED, ALIVE AND WELL without any affects of your past!!!

RUNNING...👣👣👣👣

USE DISCRETION

Please, please, please use discretion in all matters and in every decision.  Human wisdom only leads to confusion and destruction on all levels.  GOD'S WISDOM will teach you to be strategic in your dealings and thinking, even with your words.  Godly wisdom leads to the shalom peace of God; nothing lacking, missing or broken.

Wise people don't dialogue ALL THE TIME, unless it is their calling, but even in that they are still wise with their words or at least should be.  Right? 🤓.

Godly wisdom will always reveal the concealed.  We see this throughout the Scriptures.  It may be years down the road, but just know, godly wisdom will uncover a lie and the one concealing the truth. Strategy always accompanies godly wisdom (1Kings 3:26).  By WISDOM kings decree justice (Proverbs 8:15).

Godly WISDOM (JESUS) is your source to freedom, purity, favor, and faith.  WISDOM is your source of and to abundance. WISDOM will lead you out of what foolishness abandoned you in.  WISDOM is not only God Himself, but WISDOM also leads you to God Himself. My God!

Godly WISDOM bears us up and hides us until God is ready to act on our behalf. Godly WISDOM shows us how to be focused, set, productive and proactive while we wait on God.  Godly WISDOM will keep us in the karios timing of God while the power of the Elohim God is in full operation in the heavenlies.

My God!  Lord...!  I'm trying not to cry.  I don't know if I should shout, run, cry or just fall to my knees right now and worship the Almighty God, because He is infinite in WISDOM AND POWER!  Just know the Omniscient ONE is in full swing.

There's glory after this!  You hear me? Listen for the cry of WISDOM.  Listen for the sound of the suddenly and whatever you do don't retaliate when your enemies oppose you (AMLSIII).  WISDOM is on the move.  So stay set until HE acts.

Whoo... isn't that Good News?  Yes, my Lord! That's that capital GOOD GOD NEWS!!!

Running....👣👣👣👣.  Whoo!  I encouraged myself today!  I feel this run. 😂
