We are in a spiritual battle!

We are at the point that our world right now of great decay, anarchy and division ..morals, values, marriages, families, freedoms constitutionally are being torn to shreds by a spirit of antichrist…this demonic spirit that comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, is wreaking havoc and sowing chaos and division ...If you are not with Christ, then you are against Christ … Those are the two sides we face right now.. that is the great divide! At the end of the day, this is what it all boils down to ...It is very apparent that this is spiritual warfare at the highest level.
If you don’t think we are in a war, you may be being deceived! We are in a war for our children, against unfathomable perversion, we are in a war of words, hate, greed, a war against a delusional ideology, a war against pedophilia, a war of what is truly right versus truly wrong, we are in a war against confusion, delusional mindsets perpetually, stealing our peace... we are in a war against our food, our health and financial  systems..we are at war against crimes on  humanity ... there are so many evils compounding, splitting, tearing apart our moral fabric .... we are in a war of fear and panic and that causes us to shrink back, and do nothing in the face of adversity...

We are in a war against life itself! 

The real war behind every single one of these is a spiritual war. And it must be fought by the spirit of God. Our nation our world is under a spiritual attack of the hugest degree..The truth is that Jesus Christ already won all of these wars, Jesus fought and won every battle with his blood shed for us all on the cross... because of this truth, they are wars we must stand valiantly in and and declare God's truth with great faith and boldness to then see His abundant victory...  It's time for the body of Christ, here on earth, in this present time, to be ready, be in our armor and be serving, standing, speaking, declaring God's word, Gods truth! The old church style hasn’t been and isn’t going to do it now! Our complacency is part of the problem..  the devil truly has come in like a thief in the night, the Bible warned us but we were not paying attention… Come out of religion and get into the war! Take your God-given authority… Know who you are, and what you have available to you through the powerful blood of Jesus Christ! When you've done all you know to do stand! … Trust God, declare His word incessantly .., command these evil schemes be thwarted, persevere, never give up and never lose hope! Encourage yourself in the Lord, for the joy of the Lord is our strength ..God's word says overwhelming victory is HIS in Christ Jesus… We will stand firm in our faith, declaring that we will never be entangled in the strong hold of bondage again... for whom the Son sets free is free indeed!!! 

Pray for this nation, pray for the world! 

Let's not get into an agreement with the devil and his plans and schemes. Let's stop rehearsing all the things that he is doing and let's start overcoming these things with what God says about it in His word… There is nothing new under the sun… God wins every time!


1John 4:3
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God; and such is the spirit of Antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come, and even now already it is in the world.


In Galatians 5:1–15, the apostle Paul discusses the nature of Christian freedom, beginning with an admonition to “stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage” (Galatians 5:1, NKJV). Paul contends that Jesus Christ came to set believers free from a burdensome, legalistic existence as slaves to the law. Therefore, Christians must ensure that they stay free and not get bound up again under a yoke of bondage to the law.

Paul references the good fight again in 2 Timothy 4:7 where he says, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Fighting the good fight of the faith is also about perseverance and continuing, even when the road is hard.

Romans 8:37
No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love.

Isaiah 5:20 ESV 
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

2 Timothy 3:1-5 ESV 
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

2 Timothy 4:3 ESV  
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,

Please share this with others, and, like this page to change our algorithms .. it helps more people get to hear the good news of Jesus! God bless you!

Staying positive

Over the years I have come to realize more and more the power of positive thinking and its effects on our lives.

I look back at some of the times in my life when I was so negative and living a "whoa's me" type of life, and simultaneously wondering why I was not seeing any of my prayers being answered.
Grumbling and complaining was part of my daily routine. Feeling sorry for myself was a way of life... I had gone through a tough divorce, was working full time and raising 2 young boys, feeling very vulnerable and alone and reminding myself of those very feelings everyday followed by a" why me"?attitude that ran my life. It was not until I changed my thinking and my attitude that I began to see God move in my life. I realized that I was holding my own blessings captive by having a negative mindset.

I was a Christian, this was not the kind of life that Jesus died for me to have.
That old saying, " one more trip around the mountain," was mentioned at a service where the teaching was all about the 40 years it took the children of Israel to get into the promised land, a trip that should have taken just a few weeks... Moses had the tough job of leading them through the desert wilderness. They were being lead out of slavery and were promised a wonderful new life, instead of focusing on what was waiting for them in this beautiful land, they could only rebel, complain and gripe about their present situation!

The longer they complained, the longer they remained, why would God bless them for that type of behavior? He was there the whole time, meeting all their needs, yet their negative attitudes would keep them from their wonderful destiny God had in store for them.
The Bible is full of scriptures about staying positive through adversity. There is no shortage of verses telling us That God will see us through ALL that we face when we trust in and fully rely on Him.

James 1:2-3 says" Count it all joy when you face trials of many kinds, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience."
This simply means to stay joyful even during the toughest times knowing and trusting that God will bring us through it all better than we could have imagined on our own, but it is our attitude however that will determine how long it will take!

1 Peter 1:7 says "These trials will show that your faith is genuine."
How better for God to grow our trust and faith in Him than to see how we behave in the "wilderness". It's so easy to say "yay God"! when everything seems to be going great, it's saying the same when we are at our lowest that will strengthen us and grow us in our relationship with God. Each new test is one we must first pass in order to move on to the next level.

Hebrews 10:36 says" Patient endurance is what you need now so that you will continue to do God's will. THEN you will receive ALL that He has promised."Notice the emphasis on,"then"... God gives us exact instructions on how to receive our blessings, by enduring trials patiently!

I believe God allows the hardships and trials in our lives in order for us to get out of those certain unhealthy situations and into better ones. For an example, you may have been in a situation where you were miserable at your job , you may have been overlooked for promotions you felt you deserved. Sometimes you have to be so miserable in order to leave one situation so God can bless you with a better one. You may never have left and found the bigger, better job unless you went through such troublesome times at the old one.

We must stay positive in all situations saying" God I cant wait to see what wonderful things you have in in store for me, I know this is only temporary and I am excited about my future!"

Proverbs 23:7 says, "Where the mind goes, the man follows."
We are clearly the architects of our own lives, we have a choice, its up to us. Eternal joy follows pure thoughts.

Phil 4:8 even tells us exactly what to think about, " finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, if there be any virtue and praise, think only on these things."
Imagine our lives if we could follow those instructions ..... We dont need one more trip around the mountain, lets say we check out that promised land!!

Stay positive stay focused on God. He will always show up, He may not be early, but He is never late!!!!!!

Have a blessed, wonderful and positive day!!
