"“Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also."   John 14:1-3 WEB

We know what this means in the literal sense, for the after-life. How about looking at it from a different angle, the here and now? God has many areas of blessing for us to reside: healing, protection, prosperity, peace, strength, power, just to name a few. These were prepared for us when Jesus came and died. His coming again happens when we take advantage of the blessing and speak it over our lives.

Each time we tune in on the blessing God provided us we let the devil know, that we know, what we know. It stops him in his tracks (for that moment). :) It also sends message to the spiritual world and causes the blessings to manifest (happen).

The blessings are already ours. God can do no more for us than He has already done through Jesus. The rest is up to us. We have to continue to speak God's word over every area of our lives that do not line up with the blessing. Then and only then will the devil back off. His job is to trick you into thinking it doesn't work. The devil is a liar.

I like this. Christ is good news to all the people. I recently came to realize, Christianity is the only "religion" that is not a denomination. It is for all people from all walks. Accept Christ, you're in. God does not discriminate nor does He value one over another.

Yes, perilous times are here but nothing that was not predicted in the bible. We, as Christians, must not lose faith in God's ability to protect. Some may need to stop watching the News. Yes, I'm all up in your Koolaid. I can because I'm bringing the sugar. Ha!!!

"The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee." Deuteronomy 28:8 KJB

Sometimes God gives you a plan that you just shouldn't share with everybody. They may not see your ability and can also cause you to be discouraged. You start to doubt. Well don't, because it is your vision, seen through your eyes.

When you know God has given you a plan, go with it. In Jeremiah 1:17 it says do not be "dismayed by their faces". Just like David, encourage yourself in the Lord (1 Samuel 30:6).

When people are not on board with your idea, vision or plan, you have to move forward with what God gave you. You - can - do - it. You have the blueprint. You have His blessing.

"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward." Hebrews 10:35 KJB

"who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed." 1 Peter 2:24 WEB

Christ took on our sins to give us an avenue straight to God. The avenue that was cut off because of Adam's sin. We ask God's forgiveness when we sin so we remain on that avenue. It gives us a clean slate (righteousness life). Then we can recieve all of God's promise.

You can tell the devil "By Christ's stripes I was healed. If I was healed then I am healed. It is mine no matter what. No matter what the doctor says. No matter how I feel. No matter what I see, I BELIEVE AM HEALED". It is in the believing not the seeing.

Afterwards continue to thank God for it until the body line up. Every now and again you have to remind the devil too. His job is to test you to see if you believe what you say. He'll bring a twinge here, a bad doctor's report there. Don't feel bad if you take meds. Do so in faith. "Thank you God that the meds work to do as intended".

Sidebar: Please don't call it "my medicine for my (illness)". Don't stake ownership of any illness or medicine or you will never be rid of them. The illness is using your body (uninvited I might add) and you use the medicine. You own neither. If you say it by accident, just take it back. "Nope it is not mine." :)

I'm praying for you. Please pray for me.

Believe it. Receive it.

"Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17 WEB

There is something in the bible for every situation. Another scripture says people perish from lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).

Things people go through are a direct result of what they have been saying or doing, or not. In Mark 4, Jesus talks about how seeds planted, spring up and grow but one doesn't know how. Hmmm!!! This can be good or bad.

People say I don't have a problem with celebrating halloween or watching Witches of South Jablitz. Ya think? Well, not immediately. The problems come afterward. A seed is planted in the spirit. It is then continuously watered, takes root and grows. Like a weed it eventually chokes out the pretty flowers (problems with your children, in your body, in your relationship, on your job, etc.).

Yes, I just got all up in your business. :P Hey, not me, I'm just a carrier bringing mail. :)

It is no fun receiving reproof (disapproval) or correction from God, or worse, an attack from the devil. It is better to learn the teaching and obey the instruction.

Be thoroughly equipped to handle whatever comes. If you have planted bad seeds, pull them up by asking God's forgiveness. Then make a change, plant good seeds and water them.

In other words, come correct and be complete. That's what the above scripture says. lol

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 WEB

This is why I don't believe God will send something bad in order to get our attention. For instance, sickness, disease or accident. He can get our attention any way He wishes. I mean like just saying, "Hey, pay attention". After all, He's God right?

Now, I believe God will step back and remove the hedge of protection and allow Satan to bring bad things. Usually that happens with a person's permission. That's why I can't stress enough to watch what you say.

Just think before you speak. What if what you've said happened right now? For instance, your head or back kills you. This is extreme but so is the devil. Think about that person you love to death or to pieces? Hmmm!!! The mouth can either open or shut doors(good and bad).

God's thoughts for us are of peace, hope and a good future. Think on those things.

Allow me to let you in on a secret. People often say some illness runs in the family. Well, if God is your Father you have been born again and He has no sickness or disease. Satan is shrewd. As long as he can get you to say a thing out of your mouth, he can make it happen. The power he has is the power you give him.

Speak what God says by calling things that are not as though they were (Romans 4:17). If you are sick, no you don't say "I'm not sick". That's a lie because you are calling something that is as though it isn't. You are to call what is not as though it were. What is not? The manifestation of your healing. So say, "Thank you God your word says I am healed so by faith I believe I am healed".

By the way, pray for crop failure on all of those negative seeds you've been planting over the years. Although you can't see it, those seeds are growing in the spirit. Each time you water them (by saying it again and again) they grow until it actually happens. You have to pull them up in the spirit. #cropfailure

"The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe."  Proverbs 29:25 WEB

The butterfly has no fear of falling even while hanging upside down. Trusting in God, it doesn't hesitate to move freely within its natural environment.

If you are a Christian your natural environment is God's word. You must have the same assurance as the butterfly that God will keep you from falling if you trust in Him and not be afraid.

Also...

Please please please watch what you say. Your mouth is more of a snare than fearing man. Really think of the meaning of what you say. Fearing man is only a "snare" but the power of the tongue can bring death and life (see below).

Trusting in God can't work for you if your mouth works against you. It takes work but try changing your conversation. Let the power of your tongue bring blessings so God can keep you safe.
