Do You Wanna Be A Toys R Us Kid ?

I remember loving that commercial jing (back in the 80's) when Toy's  "R" Us was at the height of popularity, but can we really afford to be Toy's "R" Us Kids in the Kingdom of God for such a time as this?

2 Corinthians 3:4-6English Standard Version (ESV)

4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Can God Turn Your Evil Actions Into Your Salvation?

My answer to the question is an absolute yes. I have personally experienced, the  truth of

Genesis 50:20English Standard Version (ESV).

20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people[a] should be kept alive, as they are today.What satan devised to destroy you the God of the universe can skillfully use to draw you to Himself, through the power of His Holy Spirit. I had the pleasure of spending some time with a wonderful Saint of God last week, with whom I felt comfortable in sharing my testimony, before Christ. I shared with her how God had used some of His 5 Star Generals to arrest my spirit as I was on a mission of destroying my soul through the use of crack cocaine. I emphasize these Prayer Warriors were 5 Star Generals. They came after me in the crack house, not something for an unseasoned Prayer Warrior to attempt to do or even think about. This happened on two occasions that I clearly remember. And although on those two occasions, as they were witnessing to me, they did not get my agreement or full attention, something happened to me on the inside. These women through the power of the Holy Spirit got the agreement and attention of my spirit man. Satan was positive he had me, not realizing I was about to escape and get out of and away from his camp! We have seen it countless times in Gods word where someone was buried deep in sin and God used that evil lifestyle to draw them to Himself. I believe, that because God created you, he is looking at the fact that what he created you for is still in there. Take a look at the lives of those He has given as examples for us to look at. Rahab one of my favorites along with Moses, and Apostle Paul. Rahab was obviously still conducting business when the spies came to visit her, Saul who later became the Apostle Paul, was out killing Christians  and Moses was a sociopathic murderer, yet God used these propensities for evil to turn them into the Great men and women of God they eventually became.

RAHAB

The Woman God Took From the Dunghill

Scripture References—Joshua 2:1, 3; 6:17-25; Matthew 1:5; Hebrews 11:31; James 2:25

Name Meaning—The first part of Rahab—“Ra,” was the name of an Egyptian god. As an Amorite, Rahab belonged to an idolatrous people, and had a name meaning “insolence,” “fierceness,” or “broad,” “spaciousness.”

Family Connections—While Rahab’s parents, brothers and sisters were alive at the time of her association with the spies Joshua sent out, we are not given any of their names (Joshua 2:13). Some of the ancient Jewish fathers who held her in high reputation reckoned that she was the wife of Joshua himself, but in the royal genealogy of Jesus, Rahab is referred to as being the wife of Salmon, one of the two spies she sheltered. In turn, she became the mother of Boaz, who married Ruth from whose son, Obed, Jesse the father of David came, through whose line Jesus was born (Matthew 1:5, where the asv reads, “Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab”—not Rachab). Salmon was a prince of the house of Judah, and thus, Rahab, the one time heathen harlot, married into one of the leading families of Israel and became an ancestress of our Lord, the other foreign ancestresses being Tamar, Ruth and Bathsheba. The gratitude Salmon felt for Rahab ripened into love, and when grace erased her former life of shame he made her his wife. Jerome’s comment of the inclusion of the four foreign women in Matthew’s genealogy.

The Conversion of Saul

9 But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3 Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him. 4 And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” 5 And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. 6 But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.”7 The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. 8 Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were opened, he saw nothing. So they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. 9 And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

Exodus 2:11-15GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

Moses Commits Murder and Flees to Midian

11 In the course of time Moses grew up. Then he went to see his own people and watched them suffering under forced labor. He saw a Hebrew, one of his own people, being beaten by an Egyptian. 12 He looked all around, and when he didn’t see anyone, he beat the Egyptian to death and hid the body in the sand.

13 When Moses went there the next day, he saw two Hebrew men fighting. He asked the one who started the fight, “Why are you beating another Hebrew?”

14 The man asked, “Who made you our ruler and judge? Are you going to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid and thought that everyone knew what he had done.

15 When Pharaoh heard what Moses had done, he tried to have him killed. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian.

Five-star rank

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The insignia used by US generals and admirals of OF-10 rank.

A five-star rank is a very senior military rank, first established in the United States in 1944, with a five-star insignia,^[1] and corresponding ranks in other countries. The rank is that of the most senior operational military commanders, and within NATO's "standard rank scale" it is designated by the code OF-10.

Not all armed forces have such a rank, and in those that do the actual insignia of the "five-star ranks" may not contain five stars. For example: the insignia for the French OF-10 rank maréchal de France contains 7 stars; the insignia for the Portuguese marechal contains four gold stars; and many of the insignia of the ranks in Commonwealth of Nations contain no stars at all.

Typically, five-star officers hold the rank of general of the army, admiral of the fleet, field marshal, marshal of the air force, general of the air force, and several other similarly named ranks. Five-star ranks are extremely senior - usually the highest ranks. As an active rank, the position exists only in a minority of countries and is usually held by only a very few officers during wartime. In times of peace, it is usually held only as an honorary rank.

Despite the rarity and seniority of five-star officers, even more senior ranks have been adopted in the United States, namely, admiral of the navy andgeneral of the armies. Other names for highly senior ranks from the twentieth century include généralissime (France), generalisimo (Spain) and generalissimus (USSR).

What Makes You Question Your Path?

Many of our hero's of faith had to fight to stay the course of their God-given destiny. Joseph, Abraham, David, and Rahab just to name a few. I can only imagine the internal struggles they went through to keep trusting God. Sometimes our struggles in life allow us to mask our fear or doubts for a season. However, there comes a time when the enemy get's nervous due to you spiritual tenacity and perseverance. Yes, I did say nervous, he is a created being, so don't think it is strange when he seems to ramp up the pressure. Your only assignment in this battle is to stand in the full armor of God in complete stillness and you will definitely see the salvation of the Lord! Praise be to our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:4

• English Standard Version
  For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

Ephesians 6:10-13English Standard Version (ESV)

The Whole Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

Psalm 46:10English Standard Version (ESV)

10 “Be still, and know that I am God.
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth!”

Disappointment Or Gods Protection?

As a result of having multiple gifts and talents, we may sometimes confuse being disappointed with God protecting us from ourselves. Yes, our Father will protect you from you. Pastor Kevin brought up an interesting truth yesterday where I realized a good thing can be a snare or trap of Satan. The apple in the garden on the tree of life was a good thing, however, it became a trap by Satan to rob Adam and eve Of their Inheritance of this earth and open the door for future generations to be robbed as well. But I digress, Why would God allow us to be disappointed when using His gift for the body of Christ? The disappointment was the wrong path.Which path you might say. The path to your God-given destiny. The destiny God created you to walk in. When disappointment comes through man, circumstances , situations, ungodly actions by others ,etc, it may well be God saying you are on the wrong path, turn around and go the other way! Let my Holy Spirit direct you, He will not lead you astray.

Proverbs 2:9-15

• The Message
  So now you can pick out what’s true and fair, find all the good trails! Lady Wisdom will be your close friend, and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion. Good Sense will scout ahead for danger, Insight will keep an eye out for you. They’ll keep you from making wrong turns, or following the bad directions Of those who are lost themselves and can’t tell a trail from a tumbleweed.

Proverbs 3:5Living Bible (TLB)

4-5 If you want favor with both God and man and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don’t ever trust yourself.

Proverbs 3:5-9English Standard Version (ESV)

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
    and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
    and he will make straight your paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes;
    fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
8 It will be healing to your flesh[a]
    and refreshment[b] to your bones.

Deliverance Prayer

Heavenly Father I come to you now in Jesus’ name, to repent of all the sins in my life and also in the lives of my ancestors, that may have resulted in a curse. I repent of all disobedience, rebellion, mistreatment of others, lying, cheating, using or slandering your name in vain. I repent of all perversion, lust, incest, fornication, adultery, idolatry, all witchcraft, murder, and any occult involvement.

Heavenly Father, I ask for your forgiveness and cleansing through the blood of your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Lord Jesus I now take the authority you have given me and ask that you anoint me now as I command all demonic spirits of anger, rage, fear, depression, destruction, torment, guilt, bondage, vagabond, rejection, unforgiveness, bitterness, mind-control, double-mindedness, confusion, passivity, sickness, diseases, pain, fetter and all addictions to food, alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, gambling, or nicotine to come out in the name of Jesus.

No demonic spirit is welcome in this holy temple!

I break all spoken curse and spells that may have been performed over my life and any curses resulting from involvement with Ouija board, Psychics, tarot cards, Horoscopes, secular music, or through TV, movies or pornography.

I break all curses off my family, marriage, children, and relatives. I break every shackle, chain, cord, habit, craving, debt, soul-ties and any spirit that has tried to rob, kill, or destroy my life.

I command my family to be set free. I break every demonic assignment over my family. Satan, loose them now! In Jesus’ name! According to Galatians 3:13, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law.

Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I am now God’s child and through my Lord Jesus, I am able to cast down all demonic powers and spirits that come against me or in my family’s lives.

I am not cursed, but blessed! I am blessed coming in and blessed going out. I am above and not beneath. I am the head and not the tail. I am blessed and what God has blessed cannot be cursed. I am free, and I am saved. I have now exercised my faith and know that confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:9,10). All of my sins have been remitted, and I am loosed from the curse that came as a result of disobedience and rebellion to the Word of God.

Thank you Heavenly Father, thank you, Lord Jesus, thank you Holy Spirit for forgiving me and loving me. Thank you for setting me free from every curse and spirit that has operated in my life. Father God, I pray for discernment and for a new vision to help me recognize and resist all evil and all fleshly, worldly ways. I am anointed through the Lord Jesus Christ, and I thank you, Jesus, for your guidance and discipline as I continue to be a victorious soldier and holy child. AMEN.

The Reward Of His Sacrifice!

Soul restoration begins in the heart through our Fathers word and the power of His spirit. Let us rejoice and be glad in His everlasting Joy and Grace, We are filled with the power of God by His Holy Spirit yet, we are filled with his love by the sacrificial death and resurrection of His Son Jesus. As a result, we come to Jesus who becomes the author and finisher of our faith, transforming us into the image of God our Father resulting in a path to eternal life. Hallelujah!

Lingering In The Light Of His Love!

Heavenly Father, Let the light of your unfailing love consume me as you overwhelm me with your presence. All glory, honor, and praise belong to you the author and finisher of my faith. Your love has made me great and I continue to trust you as the all consuming fire of deliverance, from past abuse, rejection., shame, and regret. You said in your word let the redeemed of the Lord say so and as the redeemed, I say Satan you have no authority over my mind, will and emotions. My soul is healed, transformed and renewed. All illegal trespassers have been evicted by the power of Gods  spirit and the blood of the Lamb. Thank you, Father, that I have been adopted into the bloodline of Christ and my DNA is part of the divine Godhead. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Those He Chooses,He Rescues From The Hand Of The Enemy!

People threw in the towel regarding my life. God said "No" and threw it back to them when I placed all the pieces before him.
When I cleaned up my act,
he gave me a fresh start.
Indeed, I’ve kept alert to God’s ways;
I haven’t taken God for granted.
Every day I review the ways he works,
I try not to miss a trick.
I feel put back together,
and I’m watching my step.
God rewrote the text of my life
when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.

Sexual Abuse Healing

The greatest obstacle in overcoming the trauma of sexual abuse can be the acceptance of spirit led deliverance orchestrated by our Lord and savior and then carried out by the Holy Spirit. It can be an agonizing process because the process of deliverance is also attached to being able to genuinely forgive the perpetrator. This process can sometimes take many years as layer upon layer of wounds and pain are being constantly uncovered, exposed and then, at some point healed. Consequently, there are times we will not be aware that healing in a particular area has even taken place until another unrelated painful event takes place, and the Holy Spirit shines His light into an area of your spirit, and you discover there is no longer darkness dwelling there. The most valuable lesson I have learned through this process is: Pain sometimes heals pain, and wounds can often heal other wounds, when we submit our mind will and emotions to the Lordship of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They will together orchestrate the perfect plan for our complete healing and redemption. To God be all glory, honor and praise. Amen!

The Spirit OF Rejection

For the victim of sexual trauma rejection, is a spirit that if permitted, will attach itself to its prey with a vengeance. This spirit comes to do one thing: Steal, kill, and destroy whatever God is going to do in your life. God's remedy is clear, according to James 4:7. Submit yourselves therefore to God and he (the devil) will flee from you. Yes, you must fight for the restoration of your soul. Satan will not let you go easily or, without a fight. You may have been one of his chief soldiers. Your freedom will only be won by submitting to all that was accomplished for you through the shed blood of Christ on the Cross at Calvary. Activate your redemption, by asking Christ into your heart and claiming all that has already been done for you, completely accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy. Psalm 107:1-3.



John 6:36-38New King James Version (NKJV)

36 But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

Get Delivered From The Seeds Sown Through Sexual Abuse

No one could have ever convinced me that the hole in my soul would someday be healed, as a result of being filled with the love of Christ. I just assumed my inner pain, shame, self-hatred, and loss of dignity and self-respect would be a permanent part of my life until the very end. Every form of disappointment, through a situation created by myself or others, seemed to confirm my belief, that I was not good enough, or worthy of the goodness, grace, and mercy Christ promised in His word. Then I stumbled on the stark reality that my problem had not so much to do with the abuse, but rather the strongholds that were created as a result of the abuse. My freedom was not contingent on forgetting the trauma of the painful events but had more to do with getting free from the fortress that had been designed to keep me in a constant state of mental defeat. Spirit, soul and body. A Chronicle of the most important aspects of my journey will be released soon.The Journey from sexual abuse victim to victory over the abuse, in Jesus Christ. My desire is to comfort others with the same comfort I have been comforted with. 2 Corinthians 3:1-5.

Father To The Fatherless

 My father in my eyes was bigger than life. He was the everything I felt a dad should be. He was the epitome of the perfect man. He walked right, talked right, smelled and dressed right. What a sense of pride I would feel, when I would see that candy apple red Cadillac come rolling down the street. Everything in my head would just start spinning. That’s my dad I would think to myself. The greatest man on the face of the earth. It never dawned on me that while he lived in the best part of town, my mother struggled in the projects, hustling to keep food on the table, clothes on our backs and a roof over our heads. As a result, I was constantly bounced from one place to another. We were without local family support or government assistance to rescue us. Unfortunately, this led to some tragic consequences that have since healed, in the last couple of years. Never let anyone convince you that you are too old to heal, regarding a traumatic event from your past, if the memory is painful, God will heal it. Again, you are never too old to be healed and set free. Sadly, as I entered adolescence, my father began to act as if I no longer existed. This was a time when I needed his love guidance, as much as air to breathe. The messaged I received from his rejection was: Yes, I love my father with all my heart, and he loves me maybe not so much. The Africans have a Proverb that sums it up: Where the heart is the body will be. Fortunately, I found out I had another father who would never leave or forsake me. His love is completely unconditional and comes to restore and comfort when the slightest emotional need of His child is detected. In my 28 years of walking with Him, he has never allowed me to share a single tear. When it comes to fathers, our heavenly Father is more than enough. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18.

Walk The Path From Victim To Victory In Jesus!

On my life's journey from sexual abuse victim to victory in Jesus Christ, I came to realize as I approached middle age, that many of my peers in my generation, both male and female had been sexually abused as children and never revealed the abuse to anyone. This is completely reasonable due to being born at a time when these types of crimes were not discussed or they were conveniently swept under the rug. 

I have also heard of reports of women being told by the parent or caretaker not to tell anyone, and in so many words get over it. This is a sad reality, we now have a whole segment of a generation of men and women out there, still trying to just get over it. This is why I have become so passionate about being a vessel God can use to point people, who are struggling with this issue, in a course of direction that will lead them to the source of healing body, soul, mind, and spirit, Jesus Christ. It is my belief that you are never too old to be set free and delivered from any source of violation satan has devised to steal, kill or destroy your God given destiny. Our Father in heaven made provision for every source of healing, we will ever need while on this earth, we only have to go forward in Jesus name and partake of His divine provisions set in place for us before the foundation of the earth.

God Is Calling All Tamar's Back To Him!

(Genesis 38:11)

I have always wondered why Tamar  was told return to your father's house and live there as a widow. This question has plagued me for many years. Suddenly one morning as I was waking up the Holy Spirit gave me an answer. I'm sure there are many other answers, but, this is the one he gave me. He said Tamar was told to return to her father's house that she might receive his vision and provision for that particular season. I truly believe  Tamar was a victim of sexual abuse. A willing victim, but still No less a victim. I also view prostitutes as victims of sexual abuse  willingly and unwillingly. I personally feel this way because in many cases it has to do with survival in places and cultures that don’t value women in general. We see it all over the world, sometimes in our very own families. So back to Tamar. I believe God our Father is calling all the Tamars of the world back to Him so that he may provide for and heal them body, soul, mind and spirit. If this agrees with what you are feeling at this time, Return to the Fathers House, Jesus is waiting for you.
