Face it; we all have issues, struggles and different circumstances in our lives that we must deal with daily. These battles eventually affect the condition of our heart, our mind and ultimately attack our faith.
Before long with all these battles we get to the point where we lose sight of our goals, our plans, and our dreams. We let the battle in our minds get us to the point where our hope becomes faded, our sight of victory is dimmed, and the blessings we prayed for is blown away like the wind.
Our mind is now so full of distracting thoughts, and stresses that our sight is fixed on the negative issues and different situations. That kind of battle leads to wrong thinking. You need to know that when wrong thinking sets in, depression is not far behind.
These wrong thoughts give the enemy access to your mind and something to work with. Satan will use your wrong thinking to lead you into wrongdoing (sin) and making wrong decisions.
Genesis 4:7 But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."
Focusing on his lies prevents you from staying focused on the truth which is the Word of God.
Have you ever struggled with faith before?
Let me tell you the battles in life can affect the way you speak, the way you think, the way you adore things, the way you stand-up against temptation, and the way you look at life and the world around you.
The effect of this wrong thinking will give you feelings of confusion, anger, pain, and fear. This wrong thinking will ensue, a battle that will be a direct attack on your marriage, your children, your body, your finances, your relationship with others and the battle will attack your relationship with God. Your communication, interaction with others and with God will change. In the battle The Word of God in your heart will be stolen by the enemy unless you hold on and fight the good fight of faith.
Let’s face it we all go through these battles, you are not the only one. We have got to exercise our faith and strengthen our walk in Christ. We must know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are who God says that we are and that we have all, that He says that we have.
Know that if God said it then it is SO.
Know who you are in Christ:
You are a child of God, who is the King of Kings.
You are called for a purpose.
You are called for such a time as this.
You are called a King and a Priest, a Royal Priesthood.
You are called to have authority, dominion, and power.
You are an heir of God and joint-heir with Jesus Christ.
You are his beloved, His precious possession, His treasure.
You are just like Him.
Do you know who you are?
Pray this with me:
Father, reveal to me the point of my rebellion, show me the point where I have stop looking at You and have set my sights on the things of this world. Of those things important to me, show me Lord, what I place before you. Show me my excuses for not knowing you better. Show me where my faith needs strengthening. Allow me to walk through these battles and come out stronger in faith than I was before. Walk with me and teach me to strengthen my mind, guard my heart and watch my mouth. Help me fight the battles that can only be won by You. Help me to trust You more. Father, this is my prayer in the battle I am facing now. In His name Amen.
May God bless you,

The Mountain
You hear the calling and the voice of God saying, “Come to ME!”
Exodus 19:20
20 The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up
-Exodus 24:12
12 The LORD said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commands I have written for their instruction."
Like Moses, you have been called to an assignment; your assignment is to ascend to the mountain of God. That is your assignment. However, in the process of carrying out this assignment, this ascending or climbing to the mountain of God, you find that there are many obstacles on your path and people in your way telling you this and that. Now you’re facing new reasons and excuses to stop moving forward into your God ordained position. You’d rather camp out at the foot of the mountain.
You see that there are obstacles in the way and the climb is hard; it’s not easy. At times you feel like you’re getting nowhere or it seems like you’re walking in circles. You feel like there’s this big backpack on your back full of stuff (life’s issues, situations) and it’s holding you down. And if that is not enough then the enemy is attacking your footing (your faith) everything you are holding onto is coming apart…you want to hold on, but it would be easier to give up and just stop moving forward to the place God called you to be.
There’s a battle and the battle is in your mind, “If THIS was from God, surely the rough places would be made smooth and the crooked places made straight. Surely, if this was from God I would not have to battle so hard to get there, after all, the battle is not mine it’s the Lords. Surely, I must not be in God’s will so I am justified in not walking this way. Surely, this is not God calling me up this mountain. Maybe, I have taken the wrong path.”
Your flesh is beginning to rise. Doubt, worry, fear, and questioning God begin.
“Lord, what should I do? Is this the enemy or is this me?”
Galatians 5:17
17For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.
You know, God said He would never leave you nor forsake you, God said He is your ever present help in time of need; but do you believe Him?
-Psalm 121:1-2
I lift up my eyes to the hills where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Yes, the opposition is great. Yes, the enemy is out to deter you and distract you. The enemy is here to kill and destroy you. BUT GOD is using your struggle, today, to get you through to the next level. I want you to know your deliverer is on his way. Even when you feel that everything you have done has failed, I want you to know he’s on his way.
When you feel like you’ve been taken advantage of…He is on his way.
When you don’t see a way out…know that, He is the way out.
When you feel like you can not take another step forward…He is the way.
You’re deliverer is on his way.
He is HERE! God is here, Hallelujah!!!
Confess this!
-Psalm 18:2
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
1. The favor of God surrounds me and goes before me
2. The blessing of God are chasing me and overtaking me
3. God is supplying all my needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus
4. I don’t live under the curse of poverty, iniquity, infirmity
5. I’m healed by the stripes of Jesus.
6. Jesus has forgiven me of my sin.
7. I’m restored
8. I am strong in the Lord and the power of HIS might and I will climb the mountain of God as I have been called.
9. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
The time has come to let go of the past and the things of this world. Detach and release yourself from the things of this world and move up the mountain of God. The struggle you are having is making you stronger and moving you forward to where God is calling you to.
Get ready for your rightful place in the Kingdom of Heaven.

SHAKING IT LOOSE!
Today, you may find yourself facing unique situations unlike ever before. As a matter of fact, what you’re going thru is new, it’s different and the situations in your life seem out of place. You don’t understand it. Your mind and your emotions are running wild. You’re confused, not knowing what to do.
The storm that has hit your life has shaken you to the very core of your being. What you have experienced is a physical and emotional earthquake.
Psalm 109:23 I fade away like an evening shadow; I am shaken off like a locust.
The locust represents your sinful nature. Your sinful nature keeps trying to revive itself. It is getting in the way of your blessing, of your inheritance, your reward, your break thru, your deliverance, your healing and the desires of your heart.
When that locust, that sinful nature, is on you; you need to shake it off because it doesn’t belong there. Your sinful desire, that temptation, the issues that keep bringing up those thoughts, they don’t belong there.
Romans 8:5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
Let me ask you, what is your mind set on today?
Let me tell you, God is shaking things (your sinful nature) loose. God is shaking it loose!
Hallelujah!
Your job, today, is to resist the enemy within.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
During this shaking God will reveal those places of offense, those things that grieve His Spirit (your disobedience, your anger, your pride, your hurts, your pain, your un-forgiveness). He will reveal your poor attitude (negative thoughts, double-mindedness worries and doubts) and moral issues (ethics, principles). He will show you the point of your rebellion.
He’s shaking it loose because that is the process God is using to bring about a transformation in you. Why? Because, He is preparing you for kingdom work and The Kingdom of Heaven. Those things which are not allowed in Heaven must be shaken loose here on earth. He is shaking it loose because that’s the process you have to go through to get into where you need to be; at the right hand of God in Christ Jesus!
The shaking has overwhelmed you with fear and doubts. Now you have these confusing thoughts that are trying to lead you astray from the path God planned for you. You’ve gotten to the point that your doubt is causing you to murmur and complain and even question God.
You’re struggling with your faith.
Hebrews 11:1 Now, faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Just like you, King David, was overwhelmed too.
Psalm 13:1-2 How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
You find yourself walking around with no direction kind of like the children of Israel. You’re feeling angry and frustrated. You’re feeling unfulfilled and guilty because you wrongly responded to situations in your life and made bad decisions.
ENOUGH!!
It’s time to grow up now.
Stop the sinful nature of feeling trapped and down. Shake it off!! The past is behind you and it’s time to press forward and begin to make things right according to God’s Word.
Proverbs 11:6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the unfaithful are trapped by their evil desires.
It would benefit you to consider carefully the choices you are facing now based on what you love the most, the Word of God.
Psalm 119:127-128 Because I love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold, and because I consider all your precepts right, I hate every wrong path.
It’s time you seek Him for wisdom and direction. Seek God, not man.
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
Isaiah 2:22 Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?
I have learned this, “Many times the most favorable option will not necessarily be the most logical according to your natural circumstances”. Follow the Holy Spirit that lives inside of you.
Trust that what God is shaking loose is not fitting for your use nor is it for you any longer. Let it go, let him go, let her go, whatever it is let it go!! Take your hands off and let God do his perfect work.
He’s shaking it loose to fulfill His purpose, His perfect will for your life. You might not understand why He does what He does, but like me you need to trust Him today.
You’re confession today should be, “He’s doing a new thing! To God be the Glory, Hallelujah!! “
May God bless you,
