Isaiah 54:17 No Weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper

^{Isaiah 54:17} 

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

I was watching Rod Parsley on the Daystar network, and he was preaching about this scripture. To be honest, I hadn't thought of this scripture for a long time, even though I read my Bible everyday. A few days later, I was reading Perry Stone's new book, Purging Your House, Pruning Your Family Tree: How to rid your home and family of demonic influence and generational oppression, and the same scripture was there again.

I think that sometimes the Lord speaks to us in different ways. I think The Holy Spirit was directing me to read this scripture and claim it's promise for the circumstances that has been going on in my day to day life. Perry Stone told a story about a Mayor and his wife who were being attacked and ridiculed by constituents, and the Mayor's re-election was in jeopardy. The wife wrote that scripture down on little notes to him at various places to get her husband to believe that scripture and to get it into his spirit. They won the battle, he won re-election, and some lies that had been told on him were debunked. Praise God!

I have been quoting this scripture for the past three days, and have noticed some differences happening to me. I have noticed that some of my thought patterns about people are changing, and that situations in my life are also changing. I also told a friend of mine about this scripture, and also some family members. My mother has asked me four times where it is in the Bible, and each time, I tell her again. I am going to write it down for her.

When you stand on the promises of God, the Devil has to back down. I have been battling a sickness, with a fever and a sore throat, and have been getting better, I believe, due to this scripture. That is what we have to do, use God's promises and His Word to defeat the devil in our lives. I challenge you today to begin to meditate and use this scripture every day, and see what happens in your life! 

Mustard Seed Faith

I have been thinking about what Jesus said about faith. A mustard seed is one of the smallest seeds there are. It is put into the ground, and then starts to grow. When it grows up, the birds of the air have something to lodge in.

I once bought a kit that had different kinds of African Violets in it. It had a little greenhouse with it. I had to plant the seeds into the soil that was provided in the kit. The seeds were so tiny, they looked like dust to me. I planted them according to the instructions, and about two months later, they came up.

How could a seed that tiny make such a beautiful plant? Only our Great Creator, Jehovah, knows the answer to that question. He is a wonderful God. If faith is as a grain of mustard seed, then it can grow. Through the tests and trials that we go through, God can make something beautiful out of your life.

The Bible tells us that every man has a measure of faith. Body builders have to exercise to strengthen their muscles, and we have to exercise our faith. In all situations, you have choices to make. You have to make the choice on how to handle the problem, and you have to decide the attitude that you want to have about it. There are always choices.

Do you want to live in defeat, or do you want to be victorious in your life? You want to be victorious, right? Then put your faith and trust in God. Even if your faith is as small as an African Violet seed, or a mustard seed, it is a start. That is the unique thing about our God. He can meet you at the level of faith that you have right this minute.

The Bible tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of  things not seen. To often, we look at circumstances, instead of  looking to God, the source of our total supply. I like what the Amplified Bible says about Faith, it calls it a firm, relying trust in God. I love the scripture that says to trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thy own understanding, but in all thy ways acknowledge Him and he will direct your paths.

All things are possible to them that believe. We serve a God who is more powerful, then anyone or anything. His hands are not to short to reach and touch us at any time. You have to feed your faith on the Word. Jesus Christ was the Word made flesh.

April 27th, 2011 Tornado in Ringgold, Ga.

Here is a link to youtube videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWMuVxAcAUU&NR=1

This tornado has devastated many families. Also, it hit Alabama. It breaks my heart to see these videos.

Water for Elephants

Usama Bin Laden has been killed

It was confirmed on the news tonight that he was killed in Pakistan by US Special Forces. The State Dept. has issued a warning to Americans overseas in the advent of attacks to avenge his death. Several others were killed along with him.

Crowds have formed in front of the White House chanting USA, USA! Let us pray for our troops who are in harms way, and respectively pray for the families who had loved ones killed on 9/11.

Potter's Hand

I would like to dedicate this video to those in this world who are in any kind of trouble. No matter what the problem, no matter the care, just know that Jesus is there. All you have to do is reach out to him with all your heart and He will meet you.
