A Word From Mrs. Juanita - "Activating The Power!"

Good Morning Everyone,
 
Ephesians 3: 16-21, Amplified. May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the Holy Spirit (Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality). 
 
May Christ through you faith(actually) dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love. That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints (God’s devoted people, the experience of that love what is the breadth and length and height and depth of it. That you may really come to know practically, through experience for yourselves the love of Christ which far surpasses mere knowledge (without experience); that you may be filled (through all your being) unto all the fullness of God (may have the richest measure of the divine Presence and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself)! 
 
Now unto Him Who, by (in consequence of) the (action of His) power that is at work within us, is able to (carry out His Purpose and) do superabundantly, for above all that we dare to ask or think (infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams) To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen (so be it).
 
As a believer, you have the power of the Holy Spirit inside you. But that power won’t go to work until you put it to work! The Holy Spirit won’t just muscle it in on you. He won’t come in and turn off the bad attitudes, or all the noise from the outside world at your office. He won’t scream at you and say, “Now you listen to me!”. No, He’s a gentleman. He has been sent to help you to do the will of God, to strengthen you, to counsel you...but He won’t do a thing until He is asked. Selah. 
 
The Spirit of Almighty God...the Spirit that hovered over the face of the deep and carried out God’s Word at Creation...that same Spirit is inside of you, waiting for you to call on Him! The Holy Spirit has some things He wants to show you, things you’ve been trying to figure out. He’s waiting there with the power to overcome every obstacle in your life. Take time to pray in the spirit. Pray with understanding. Pray and activate the power that is at work within you today.
 
God of our past, our present, and our future, before we go about our duties, we pause from all the whirl and rush and tumult of our life that we may take a moment to be quiet and to cherish Your love for us.  Make a silence in our hearts just now. 
 
Father, deliver us from all disturbing fears and from the worries of our crowded day. In peace of mind and with a heart at leisure from itself, Prepare us to show forth Your Love in the way we speak and act, and in the decisions we must make this day. 
 
Holy Spirit, Thank You, that we are filled with the knowledge of the Lord’s will in all Wisdom and Spiritual understanding. Lord, we are leaning on You and trusting in Your Life-giving Word this day and everyday, In Jesus name we pray. Amen.... Amen!

FAITH - How We Can Believe & Not Doubt

FAITH - How We Can Believe & Not Doubt

James 1:5-7 EMTV: If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given to him. But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing, for he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord;

 

It is impossible to serve or please GOD without faith! But we attempt to do so over and over again.

GOD IS NOT PLEASED WITH ALL OUR DOUBTS, but thanks be to GOD for his Grace and tender Mercies.



Daniel 3:14-18 KJV
(14) Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
(15) Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
(16) Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
(17) If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
(18) But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.


 

It is not whether GOD can perform his word; It’s a matter of 1) If we can move beyond Believing that he can to Knowing he can & 2) Whether or not what we ask is in his will to be done.

We have to believe for what we ask in Jesus name while at the same time our request should be in line with his word which enables us to KNOW that regardless of the outcome that GOD can perform it.

Only when we can be as children; the children of GOD that we truly are; can we activate the faith the pleases GOD!

For it is children; not adults, young adults, adolescents, or teenagers that trust and never doubt their parents. This is the kind of belief and faith that GOD loves.

Only when we align and subject ourselves to GOD’S word can we be changed. Once we are changed and have let go of our efforts to change GOD to justify our plans and begin to do a good work in God’s plans will things become less difficult.

Much of our frustrations in life come from us attempting to know better than Our Father God which arts in Heaven. Once we acknowledge, he is Lord and submit ourselves to his word, let go of all of our selfish ambitions, vain glory, and sinful pride can we position ourselves to receive the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.

Then we can truly be the light and the salt of the earth that God has call us to be.

Romans 12:1-3 KJV
(1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
(2) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
(3) For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.


 

Summary

What do we want?

We want and desire to have faith greater than the size of a mustard seed. Like

Psalm 1:3
The person that is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither and whatever they do prospers

How Do We Get It?

We get there by subjecting ourselves to God’s word which gives us strength and power. We can only receive this strength and power by knowing his word and we can only know his word by the reading and hearing of his word.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God

Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Ephesians 6:10-18 Put the full armor of God

Psalm 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it

Exodus 20:1-17 God’s Commandments

James 1:5-7 Believe and don’t doubt

Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen

Matthew 22:37 “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

Matthew 7:7 Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Philippians 4:6-9 Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethen, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and I there be any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you

A Word From Mrs. Juanita - "Getting Our Attitude In Action!"

Good Morning Everyone,
 
Philippians 2: 5-7 Says, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD: But MADE HIMSELF OF NO REPUTATION, and TOOK UPON HIM THE FORM OF A SERVANT, and was made in the likeness of men.”
 
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became a servant. He took the servant’s role. Yet in our Christian Church today, there are many people who do not want the lowly positions of the servant. They want an exalted position of recognition and importance. But to have the mind of Christ is to have the humility and obedience of a servant.
 
Having the Attitude of a servant is of vital importance. But because of the way some people were raised, it is hard for them to understand and adapt to having the attitude of a servant.They are afraid that if they do, it will put them right back into the low state they were before they were saved.
 
This happens In the devil’s Kingdom, under his evil tyranny, but not in the Kingdom of God being under the King of Kings.... God’s Kingdom is ruled by faith and Love. The rule of a tyrant and enemy Satan is a rule of hate, distrust, and unbelief. In Satan’s kingdom, the individual is nothing.  But under God’s rule when we become servants, we actually become someone! God Himself lifts us up together, and we are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Eph. 2: 6.... Selah.
 
There are Christians who quote Mark 11: 23 and 24. But nothing happens... They wonder why the Word isn’t working for them... Often it is because of something they are holding in their hearts( grudges, bitterness, unforgiveness- you know.... We must realize that we cannot move into the area of Great Faith without walking in the Love of God and in Complete Obedience to His Word.
 
Remember, the Bible doesn’t say that when you’re obedient, you will eat the good of the land. It says you will eat the good of the land when you are willing and obedient. Selah.
 
So, this week end, get willing! You must confess this and get your heart to agree: “Lord, I will obey You! I will serve You and I will serve the Body of Christ, I want to follow Jesus’ example and serve YOU in Humble Obedience all the days of my life!” Enjoy your week end.....
 
At your work station today: A servant will do what his master tells him to do. Smile
 
Father, in the name of Jesus, we commit this day to You. We deposit it into Your charge- entrusting everything that people speak, hear and do into Your protection and care. Holy One we are listening for Your counsels and promises of Your unmerited favor.  We pray Your Word will build up the people and cause them to realize that they are joint heirs with Jesus; and Your Word is alive and full of power!
 
Thank You Lord, Your Word is active, operative, energizing, and effective, being sharper than any two-edged sword. We believe that this day, every persons needs will be met spiritually, physically, mentally, and financially in Jesus name. We believe that all the earth’s people will know that the Lord is God and there is no other! Hallelujah!”

A Word From Mrs. Juanita - "Ministering Heart 2 Heart In Love"

Good Morning Everyone,
 
Acts 1: 8 Says, “But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.”
 
Psalm 18: 6 says, “in my distress, I called upon the Lord.” Today, at your work station, there are people who do not know how to survive the storms of life like you do. We all must learn how to be Anchored to the Rock of Ages.  We must be willing to reach out and this will qualify you to receive a hand up when you need one. Selah.
 
It is our responsibility to minister to a lost and hurting world. We may not all stand behind a pulpit, but we are all ministers. Did you know that you can minister without ever opening your mouth? Many people say one thing, but their actions completely contradict their words.
 
Believe me, your family member including your children recognize these contradiction... We all start out by ministering in our homes and then at the place of our employment and in our church. This world is filled with people who have needs. We must minister to the lonely; and to those who are weary from the cares and the pressures of life. Instead of casting them down, we must lift them up.
 
We are called to offer tenderness instead of criticism to people who are hurting. Remember, we are called to offer God’s mercy, grace, understanding and help. Know this: While we must stand strong in faith and pray according to God’s Word, let us remember to be moved with Compassion and God’s Love. Blessings.
 
Holy One, Your eyes are over the righteous, and Your ears are open to our prayers. We delight ourselves in You and Your Word, and You put Your desires within our heart and You bring them to pass. We are confident that when the ground is shaking all around us, that underneath is Your Everlasting Arms.
 
O Lord, give us the Peace that this world cannot give. When everything seems to be falling apart, help us to be sensible and to see that worrying does not make things better. Holy Spirit, help us see through Your eyes someone who need a lift.
 
Help us to commit our ways to You because You are at work in us to will and to do Your good pleasure. This day we make our schedule around Your Word, the solid foundation. Father, open our eyes to see those around us who need a lift in their time of storm. We can do all things through You who gives us strength. In Jesus name Amen.... Amen.

A Word From Mrs. Juanita - "God's Victory Plan For Your Life!"

Good Morning Everyone,
 
Judges 6: 11-16: Printed: vs. 12 and vs.15: - v.12 Says, And the “Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you Mighty Man of valor!” 15. So he said to Him, “O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed “My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.”
Here we find a story about a man named Gideon. When the angel spoke to him and greeted him as a mighty man of valor, Gideon could only see himself inadequate to do what God said he was suppose to do. God’s plan defies natural circumstances but brings victory every time...
 
You see, God saw Gideon as he would become under the Anointing of the Holy Spirit. With the Power of the Holy Spirit upon him, Gideon would become a mighty man of valor. You and I may be inadequate in ourselves, but with the power of God on and in our life, we are invincible.
 
It doesn’t matter what other people think about you... What matters is what God says about you. When you hear bad news, it’s easy to let our natural mind immediately begin to anticipate the worst.
 
The world’s pressures are continually bombarding our natural senses, But if you really know the Word and we know how to believe God we win every time. Don’t let the world’s negativity affect you. Expect the best from God! Expect that what God said to you will come to pass.
 
Considering all that is wrong in this world today, is it not Great you were born for such a time as this? God has a Victory plan just for you! Rise Up! Take your place. According to God’s Word, you are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. Trust Him. Be Blessed.
Father, in the name of Jesus we come to Your throne today, rejoicing that we are Christians and we have been washed in the blood of the Lamb of God. We are rejoicing that we are new creatures in Christ Jesus and every place we put the soles of our feet it shall be yours.
 
Lord, You are our light and our salvation, whom shall we fear? Lord, You are the strength of our life, whom shall we be afraid.. O My Father, we will praise You because You have made unto us Wisdom. You have given us Your heart. You have made unto us Righteousness, we are the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
 
Thank You Jesus! You’ve made Unto us Sanctification, You have set us apart from evil.. evil people, evil deeds, evil ways, O God, You have Redeemed us and therefore we can boldly say that we are free from the curse of sickness, disease, poverty or lack of anything.
 
We can say, this is the day the Lord have made and we will rejoice in it.. Holy One, we praise You and You will cause our work stations to be filled with Your Glory. In Jesus name we give You Praise and Thanksgiving. Amen.... Amen.

A Word From Mrs. Juanita - "God Is Able - Are You Willing?"

Good Morning Everyone,
 
3 John 2 Says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.”
Ephesians 3: 20 Says, “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”
Do You Have The Economy On Your Mind?? You have a problem! God is our Source, Not the Government nor any other thing! You Need and Understanding Of How God desires to bless His children.
 
He takes pleasure in prospering us.Psalm 35: 37 .... God alone gives us the power to get wealth Deuteronomy 8: 18... We are His Covenant People, and He wants to Prosper His Covenant People..
 
 Friends, When you understand Prosperity, you won’t settle for less... God is Able, But Are You Willing? These Scriptures tells us God wants us to prosper in the sense of our health, our finances and our earthly goods, but he also wants to prosper us in the understanding of prosperity itself.
 
He wants our soul, our mind, our thinking; our understanding to prosper as well... God is able and willing to do “exceeding abundantly” but we have to be willing. Selah.
 
The question is: How will He do it? He does everything through His Word. In the beginning was the Word... Selah. In other words, faith comes by hearing God’s Word Rom. 3:13-17. Once we hear the Word, get it into our hearts and keep it and protect it by not letting the devil steal it, it will come back out of our hearts in abundance and overwhelm us.
 
That Word then gives birth to faith; and in turn permits God to do “exceeding abundantly” in our lives. Don’t allow old religious traditions or any other reason hold us back from God’s message of prosperity for our lives. Selah!
 
In these dark times God’s Word is Brighter and Brighter on our path. Take a stand and tell the devil to back off and watch him flee... If you are going to meditate, don’t worry. Tell the devil how big your God is! ! Be Blessed.
Father, in the name of Jesus, we are of good courage and this day, we pray that You grant unto Your People with all boldness that we speak forth Your Word. We are bold toward Satan, demons, evil spirits, sickness, disease, and poverty for we know that Jesus is the head of all rule and authority.
 
We are bold to say that Satan is a defeated foe. For our God Reign! We declare that we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and we are complete in Him! We boldly break every assignment of the enemy against our finances in the name of Jesus.
 
We break all curses of poverty, lack, debt, and failure in the name of Jesus. Father, You are our provider and You provide all of our needs according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
 
Jesus, You became poor so that through Your poverty we might be rich. We boldly declare that peace is within our walls and prosperity is within our palaces.
 
Father, we are Your servants, and You take pleasure in our prosperity. Thank You Jesus All Nations calls us blessed and we are a Delightful Land.
 
We declare that our barns are filled with plenty and our presses burst with new wine. Father, in the name of Jesus we Honor Your Words and they shall not return to us void, but will accomplish where You sent it.
 
Holy One, we thank You that You rebuke the devourer for our sake and we receive good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over in Jesus name. Amen... Amen..

A Word From Mrs. Juanita - "Going No Where Fast? ? ?"

Good Morning Everyone,
 
2 Timothy 3: 16 : All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
 
Have you ever felt your life seemed like you are riding on a Treadmill? After you ride five miles all you have done is work up a sweat and still in the same spot? God speaks to us through His Word; we must discipline ourselves to Listen...
 
So even when it may seem unimportant, “Keep Going!” Sometimes we have to be patient to realize our full purpose, and that takes self-denial... This requires Great Strength of Will. To deny yourself is to grow in heart, and soul quality and in the Power of Character!
 
The Greatest Battle is the Battle which is fought within and fought to Victory! The greatest character is the character which is built on will power... Recognize that the highest form of education is an educated will. Just keep it moving forward!
 
Have a will to be right and to do right! Sometimes we have to test ourselves at the point where we had our last suspicion of weakness. Do not be frustrated by opposition. Continue to stand strong and work tirelessly faithful in those things God has commissioned you to do. Remember, Faith and A Good Conscience will keep you from Spiritual Disaster. God’s Word is Working Even When you think it’s not! Be Blessed.
Holy One, Grant to us sensitivity and grace, that we may uphold our colleagues and make their work a work of love everyday. Father, You have sent Your Word forth into our hearts; may it dwell in us richly in all wisdom as we meditate in it day and night so that we may act on it...
 
Thank You Father, Your Seed is growing mightily in us now; and is producing Your nature, Your Life. It is our counsel and shield, our buckler, and our Powerful Weapon in battle! Thank You Lord, Your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.. It makes our path plain before us today and everyday.
 
Holy One, with You we will go forth courageously and face any opposition unmoved. We will not stumble because our steps are ordered in Your Word. We are delighting ourselves in Your Word in Jesus name. Amen..... Amen.
“May The Spirit Of Wisdom And Revelation Rest On You!”
~You Are Wearing The Blessing!~
