Love Like Christ

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

If we would spend more time loving (like Christ loves us), honoring (publicly and private), helping (regardless of personal gain or sacrifice), encouraging (in word and deed), and interceding (praying God’s heart and not ours) for one another, we would have less time to do the opposite. The world would see the true manifestation of the sons of God, seriously take notice, recognize us as Christ disciples, and be drawn to Christ.

We cannot afford to continue to fight one another, or kill another person because of their weakness, our personal dislike, or preference, or wallow and pride ourselves in an offense. The first two letters of the devil’s name “de”, means to reverse in action. The enemy thrives on us reversing our warfare from him, to warring against each other.

We cannot die anymore from the spiritual welfare of the past moves, opinions, and systems of men. We must love to live, and live to love one another, as Christ loved the “church (his church)”, and gave himself for it…Pure worship.

Can’t Stay Here Must Go Forward To God’s Provision

by Hazel Straub

Do your options all look dismal? You are in a bad place but all the options do not appear good from your perspective. You look at your options with fleshly eyes and discouragement is your portion. But God has another option for you and abundant provision, in an unlikely place. He promises to provide for you, when your situation seems hopeless.

The city of Samaria was under siege from their enemies who surrounded the city and the people were starving. They were even selling dove dung for a high price and eating it.

Four lepers that were outcasts had a flash of great insight.They were outside the city, at the gate and said if they went into the city they would die. If they stayed where they were they would die. If they moved and went to the enemy’s camp they had a chance to live or might die. They could not go back to the past, nor stay where they were but needed to go forward. The possibility was death at the hand of the enemy or that they could get mercy and food.

Taking a risk the lepers went forward, found the camp of the enemy deserted. Yahweh had made the enemy hear the sound of horses and chariots. They thought another army was coming to attack them and so they fled leaving everything behind them.. The risk taking lepers found ample food, clothing and riches. The famine ended. (See 2 Kings 7:1-20)

Remember, you can’t go back, can’t stay where you are but must go forward. Take a risk, have faith and find unexpected provision and abundant life that comes from Yahweh’s hand. Believe God’s word that he suddenly changes your famine into abundant provision.

Then Elisha said, “Hear the word of the LORD! This is what the LORD says: ‘About this time tomorrow at the gate of Samaria, a seah of fine flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel.’” (2 Kings 7:1 BSB)

Then the people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. It was then that a seah of fine flour sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley sold for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD. (2 Kings 7:16 BSB)

Flourish Like A Green Olive Tree

by Hazel Straub

When we seek God and dwell in him, his living water nourishes us. In his presence, our perspective changes to an eternal viewpoint. We become like a tenacious olive tree that enjoys long life, produces olives, oil for light, eating, and anointing oil. The olive tree is an evergreen. The roots of the olive tree can thrive in hot arid conditions, needing minimal water, and some still produce, after 2,000 years. The olive branch, is the symbol for peace. Noah sent out a dove from the ark after the flood and the dove returned with an olive branch in its beak. Holy Spirit’s presence comes in with the anointing of olive oil that breaks the heavy yoke.

Like the olive tree we will flourish, as we seek God, bask in his presence, and produce oil, as we are pressed and poured like oil.

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in and confidently rely on the loving-kindness and the mercy of God forever and ever. (Psalm 52:8 AMPC)

Pray The Impossible

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

You can pray the impossible!

You can pray the least likely to happen, and it will happen. You can pray the unworkable and it will work. There is power when you pray and there is power in what you say. You can pray the impossible and it will take place. If you’ve done the possible and the possible isn’t working, then it’s time to do the IMPOSSIBLE! All things are possible to them that believe God.

Yeshua Bore It All

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Yeshua bore it all. He took it all. He gave it all for you. Receive it all.

Lord forgive us for not receiving and enforcing what you did for us in our lives. You took all sickness and disease, all our sin, all poverty and lack, all bondage and afflictions upon yourself. You bore it all. You took our place, though it should have been us but you became the perfect substitute. Increase our ways of receiving the power of the work you did on Calvary for us.

(Isaiah 53:3-12 The Message)
“He was looked down on and passed over, a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand. One look at him and people turned away. We looked down on him, thought he was scum. But the fact is, it was our pains he carried-our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us. We thought he brought it on himself, that God was punishing him for his own failures. But it was our sins that did that to him, that ripped and tore and crushed him-our sins! He took the punishment, and that made us whole. Through his bruises, we get healed. We’re all like sheep who’ve wandered off and gotten lost. We’ve all done our own thing, gone our own way. And God has piled all our sins, everything we’ve done wrong, on him, on him.”

“He was beaten, he was tortured, but he didn’t say a word. Like a lamb taken to be slaughtered and like a sheep being sheared, he took it all in silence. Justice miscarried, and he was led off-and did anyone really know what was happening? He died without a thought for his own welfare, beaten bloody for the sins of my people. They buried him with the wicked, threw him in a grave with a rich man, Even though he’d never hurt a soul or said one word that wasn’t true.”

“Still, it’s what God had in mind all along, to crush him with pain. The plan was that he give himself as an offering for sin so that he’d see life come from it-life, life, and more life. And God’s plan will deeply prosper through him.”

“Out of that terrible travail of soul, he’ll see that it’s worth it and be glad he did it. Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant, will make many “righteous ones,” as he himself carries the burden of their sins.”

“Therefore I’ll reward him extravagantly the best of everything, the highest honors-Because he looked death in the face and didn’t flinch, because he embraced the company of the lowest. He took on his own shoulders the sin of the many, he took up the cause of all the black sheep.”

Lord forgive us for not receiving and enforcing what you did for us in our lives. You took all sickness and disease, all our sin, all poverty and lack, all bondage and afflictions upon yourself. You bore it all. You took our place, though it should have been us but you became the perfect substitute. Increase our ways of receiving the power of the work you did on Calvary for us.

Trust God With Faith

by Hazel Straub

God has called us to live trusting him, in faith. We are not to fear and recite all the troubles with our circumstances. Instead of focusing on the impossibilities of your situation, thinking and complaining about all the difficulties, keep your focus on Yahweh, the covenant keeping God of your present, and his loving supernatural provision for you. Your problem can become the very thing used by God to show himself strong, on your behalf.

Faith in God, rehearsing his promises and crying out to him in trusting belief, causes him to hear and answer. With his help, you are victorious. Expect your miracle today! Remember, Jesus gave his life for you and what seemed like terrible defeat, brought you salvation, deliverance and abundant life.

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17)

See Beyond

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Do not allow the enemy to blind you from SEEING! See beyond the natural and see the supernatural. Your sight is tied to your expectancy!

Yeshua Our Redeemer And Sanctuary

by Hazel Straub

Yeshua, our Messiah, is saying, ” Do not lose heart. Have no fear of the wind, the earthquake, the flood, or the things that are rocking the world, as you know it. I am not the cause of the wind or the disasters that are shaking your world. I hold you close and will never let you go. Fear not, for I am with you. I am your Redeemer and I walk with you through the flood and fire. I keep you through the storms of life. I will not allow your destruction.”

“Listen, for my still small voice. I will never leave you or forsake you. During the storm, I am with you and carry you. Your foundation is firm because your foundation is solid, which is me. The gates of hell will not prevail against you.”

“Fear not, when you see disaster on every side. Know my child, I am with you and will never forsake you. Rest in my love. Although a thousand may fall on one side and ten-thousand on your other side, I am here. Keep your focus on me not on the enemy. My love is stronger than the storm. You will know that I, your Redeemer lives, and I am your Sanctuary. Be encouraged.”

Then the LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD. Behold, the LORD is about to pass by.” And a great and mighty wind tore into the mountains and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a still, small voice. (1 Kings 19:11-12 BSB)

God’s Love Conquers All

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but the spiritually ignorant, carnal, and bedeviled do. The prefix of the devil’s name “de” means to reverse in action. The enemy’s goal is to get us to reverse our warfare to each other, instead of him.

Focusing on negative, can only leave you negative minded. However, walking in love can only lead you into the supernatural, conquering of all your enemies. not our love, but GOD’S LOVE CONQUERS ALL…SELAH

Father, Raise My Love And Mercy Levels

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Father, raise my love levels for others.
Father, help me draw others to you through your love.
Fill me until I overflow with mercy.
Father, help me find others through your mercy, the mercy you’ve shown to me.

Hosea 6:6 “Mercy” “…I desire mercy not sacrifice…”

Mercy to ourselves and each other. When we release mercy to someone else, mercy is released to us. Mercy is love in action.

Christ Your Provision

by Hazel Straub

Everything that you need is met in Jesus the Christ. When he lives inside of you, there is no lack but abundant life and provision. Become hungry to know him better and your life will change.

Lord, I want to know you more!

I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

Rest, No Struggle

by Hazel Straub

Exhausted, tired, and worn out? Tired of dealing with all your problems by yourself? Do you have more to accomplish than there is time? Your responsibilities, financial issues, and social media not giving you a break? The pressure of life leading to burdens and stress?

The best rest comes without stress, due to our casting all our cares on Jesus, the Anointed One. We recover our lives, as we rest in him, learn grace, and leave the heavy burdens. He gives you strength for the day, as you place your focus and worship on him. He is always with you and is your strength, joy, and help.

“Come to me, all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” ( Matthew 11:28-30 CJB)

Prayer For Heart Renewal

by Hazel Straub

Today Lord, I open my heart to you and place all my broken places before you. Purify my heart and cleanse me from within of all my sin. I dedicate myself to you, today.

Thank you for a fresh start. Your ways are wonderful and I praise you for renewing my life. I glorify your name and praise you for a new day through Christ Jesus!

“God made my life complete
when I placed all the pieces before him.
When I cleaned up my act,
he gave me a fresh start.“

“Indeed, I’ve kept alert to God’s ways;
I haven’t taken God for granted.
Every day I review the ways he works,
I try not to miss a trick.“

“I feel put back together,
and I’m watching my step.
God rewrote the text of my life
when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.” (2 Samuel 22:21-25 MSG)

Tired Of Waiting?

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Hope deferred makes the heart-sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life. (Proverbs 13:12) You’ve been praying, fasting, worshiping and waiting, expecting the Lord. Make sure in all that you do, “pour out your heart” to the Father so he can heal you.

I release the healing balm of Gilead into your “sick and tired of waiting heart.” I command your heart to be whole and complete.

Many times the anointing starts with a desire, which the Father placed there from birth. Therefore, note that he is going to bring what he impregnated you with to pass. He is going to bring it to pass. However, before he brings it to pass, he must bring you past the wait or weight of your past. Although it can become disheartening, discouraging, and debilitating simply waiting. You must recognize and remember who it is you are waiting on (Yahweh) and ascend into worship.

“They that wait on the Lord will renew their strength…” ask the Father to renew your strength to wait on Him. You’re not waiting on man, you’re waiting on, expecting, trusting in, and hoping in the Lord. Inclusively, you’re preparing to take flight. “they will mount up with wings like the eagles’. “An eagle “mounts up,” as it soars. When a storm breaks, the violent winds that lash the earth, the eagle uses those winds to carry it not away from the storm but above the storm. The eagle uses the storm, as the impetus to draw closer to the Father.

It is time to soar in the Father’s presence and all the Glory of Him. You are relying on the Christ, in you the Hope of Glory.

May the Father restore your hopes, dreams, and your expectancy of Him. Allow the Father to restore your Hope today!

Faithful God

by Hazel Straub

When God makes a promise, with full assurance it will happen. Although it might not happen on our time schedule, God will fulfill it. He is dependable and faithful. Believe it! He will fulfill all he has promised.

God is not a man, so he does not lie.
He is not human, so he does not change his mind.
Has he ever spoken and failed to act?
Has he ever promised and not carried it through? (Numbers 23:19 NLT)

God Hears And Answers

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

I will answer them, before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers! (Isaiah 65:24)

“Pay close attention now: I’m creating new heavens and a new earth. All the earlier troubles, chaos, and pain are things of the past, to be forgotten. Look ahead with joy. Anticipate what I’m creating: I’ll create Jerusalem as sheer joy, create my people, as pure delight. I’ll take joy in Jerusalem, take delight in my people: No more sounds of weeping in the city, no cries of anguish; No more babies dying in the cradle, or old people who don’t enjoy a full lifetime; One-hundredth birthdays will be considered normal— anything less will seem like a cheat. They’ll build houses and move in. They’ll plant fields and eat what they grow. No more building a house that some outsider takes over, No more planting fields that some enemy confiscates, For my people will be as long-lived as trees, my chosen ones will have satisfaction in their work. They won’t work and have nothing come of it, they won’t have children snatched out from under them. For they themselves are plantings blessed by God, with their children and grandchildren likewise God blessed. Before they call out, I’ll answer. Before they’ve finished speaking, I’ll have heard. Wolf and lamb will graze the same meadow, lion and ox eat straw from the same trough, but snakes—they’ll get a diet of dirt! Neither animal nor human will hurt or kill anywhere on my Holy Mountain,” says God. (Isaiah 65:17-25)

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

What Brings Health To You?

by Hazel Straub

Spoken words, lodge in our soul (mind, will and emotions), bringing life or death. When we speak with kindness, it brings healing to ourselves and others, healing our bones. Negativity on the other hand, brings destruction and many problems.

Forgive those that have spoken against you, including yourself. Loose all the negative words from your soul and bind the positive words and the love of Jesus to your soul. Let the sweet honey fill you.

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. (Proverbs 16:24 NET)

God’s Voice

No Matter What, It Is Not Over

by Hazel Straub

Many times things do not go smoothly, when you follow God’s instructions, in faith.

Abraham was told to leave his hometown, everything that was familiar, his extended family and go where God told him, when he was aged seventy-five years. He did this and ended up as a stranger in the land where his descendants would live. He lost his identity to have a new identity. When he was one-hundred years old, he was given his son of promise, Isaac. Later, he was tested and told to sacrifice his only son. He was ready to kill his only son, when God stopped his hand and provided a ram for the sacrifice instead. Abraham believed God and saw God fulfill his promises, even when it looked like nothing would happen.

Moses was told that he would be the deliverer of his people, who were enslaved in Egypt for four-hundred years. He did this his way, while living in the King’s palace. He killed an Egyptian and had to escape to the wilderness, where he lived for forty years. The wilderness was not wasted time, as God taught him to depend on Him, not himself. Then he was ready for his life purpose at age eighty.The wilderness was not wasted time, but got rid of the self-dependence. to being a friend of God, who listened and believed God.. He then lead his people out of Egyptian slavery.

Paul was a well educated man, of power and influence. When he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior, his life changed. He brought the good news of Jesus, to the Gentiles. The last part of his life, he ended up in prison and in chains. He was not famous and his life consisted of his closeness to the Lord Jesus. While hidden and in chains he wrote letters to the Romans, Ephesians, Philippi, Colossians, and others. These letters have encouraged and helped many disciples of Jesus grow in their faith for more than two-thousand years. His life was not wasted and his wisdom and Holy Spirit inspired writings encourage us today..

Never, believe that it is over, while you are going through hardship. God is preparing you for much bigger things than you can imagine. Believe him and follow in the footsteps of Jesus.

And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God. (James 2:23 BSB)

No Weapon Formed Against You Will Prosper

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Here’s a Bible passage, I’d like to share with you, Isaiah 54:17:

But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17 AMPC)

Yahweh will draw you close and hold you to his heart, as you cry to him.

Showing God’s Love Prayer

by Hazel Straub

Lord, holy is your name, Thank you for loving me. I say yes, Lord, for all you have for me today.

Open the eyes of my heart, so I can see others with your eyes. Open the ears of my heart, so I can hear your heart for them. Fill me with your love, Lord, so I can show your love, to everyone that crosses my path today. I say, yes, I am your ambassador, God.

So be it, in the name of Jesus! Amen

Then Yahweh will answer you when you pray. When you cry out for help, he will say,

‘I am here.’ “If you banish every form of oppression, the scornful accusations,

and vicious slander, and if you offer yourselves in compassion for the hungry

and relieve those in misery, then your dawning light will rise in the darkness

and your gloom will turn into noonday splendor!

Yahweh will always guide you where to go and what to do.

He will fill you with refreshment even when you are in a dry, difficult place.

He will continually restore strength to you, so you will flourish like a well-watered garden

and like an ever-flowing, trustworthy spring of blessing.

Your people will rebuild long-deserted ruins,

building anew on foundations laid long before you.

You will be known as Repairers of the Cities and Restorers of Communities. (Isaiah 58:9-12 TPT)

Pursue What God Ordains For You

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Yield To God

by Hazel Straub

Release your tight hold and give command completely to Daddy God, in all things that concern you. Let him control, guide and lead you. Surrender all your worries and concerns. Let him change you because self efforts fail. Yield the right of way to him. Forget about seeing your will being done and give him the glory, for he is working on your behalf, all the time.

“Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders—
he’ll carry your load, he’ll help you out.
He’ll never let good people
topple into ruin.” (Psalm 55:22 MSG)

Love Of God In Action

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Telling people to “get it right,” anybody can SAY that. But showing people right, everyone won’t do that. Right, is showing people a more excellent way, which is the LOVE of God in action. Be a sermon, don’t just preach one…Selah

Prayer For God Searching My Heart

by Hazel Straub

How we think brings in a harvest. If our thoughts are full of faith, we will see fulfillment for that which we trust God. If we entertain and meditate on fear and worry, we will multiply anxiety and have no peace.

Daddy God, I invite you to search my heart and know my mind. Test me and know my thoughts. See if my thinking, leads me on a destructive path. I let go and leave behind worry, fear, insecurity selfishness, control and depending on myself, and not on you. I turn from my sins and invite you, to do a supernatural work in my heart. Lead me in an everlasting path, Lord. I focus my eyes and think on your goodness and love, while I rest in you. I am sowing trust and faith in you, Lord, so I can harvest a bumper crop of peace, while I live in your presence. Thank you for your mercy and love.

Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart; Test me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way. (Psalm 139:23-24 AMP)

Rededication of USA: National Jubilee Of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving

by Hazel Straub

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. (Proverbs 14:34 KJV)

America celebrates her 250th birthday on July 4, 2026. Today, on the National Mall, in Washington DC, a rededication of our nation, to God is happening, with Scripture reading, testimony, prayer, and worship, as Americans come to rededicate our country as One Nation to God. The emphasis is to turn back to God, remember with thanksgiving how he has preserved the nation for 250 years, with his guidance and presence. The people gather to remember the miracles that made the USA, through God;s help and his healing in our lives and land. It is a time of new birth of faith and freedom, as we humble ourselves, turn from our wicked ways and rededicate ourselves, as a nation, to God.

People from all of the fifty states, along with political leaders are coming together to rededicate themselves and the nation to God, with a heart posture of devotion and commitment. You can join them, in seeking the Lord, in repentance of our sins, individually and as a nation. God hears and answers, as we turn to him, and leave our sin to obey God.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV)

Led By The Spirit Of God

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Be led, motivated, and driven by the Spirit of God, not by your emotions, circumstances, or your fleshly appetite. Being led by the Holy Spirit is exemplifying the Father’s heart.

“But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” (Galatians 5:18, 22, 23 KJV)

Irritations Sharpen Character In Relationships

by Hazel Straub

Have you ever become so irritated with a certain person that you were obsessed on their flaws? The ways they acted caused you to react in frustration and their thorns hurt. Then God began to show you, the same things were operating in your life. Your intolerance stemmed from the same immaturity lurking in your own life. This person came to sharpen you, like a knife blade, so you could be honed for the Master’s use. Rather than complaining, rejoice! This person is the tool used to make you more mature.

In the same way that iron sharpens iron, a person sharpens the character of his friend. (Proverbs 27:17 VOICE)

Resign From Doing God’s Job

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Can you do yourself a few favors today? Resign from trying to do things that only God is supposed to. Free yourself from the responsibility of making sure that everything and everyone is perfect; place the responsibility back on God.

Ask God to help you today, instead of trying to do things on your own. Quit holding yourself to standards that God isn’t even requiring of you (loose yourself). Retire from focusing on the problems and focus on the (God’s) promises. If you do these favors FOR YOU, life will be more favorable TO YOU.

Prayer For An Ignited Heart

Flame heart | Fire heart, Heart wallpaper, Heart images

by Hazel Straub

Abba Father,

My heart, my way of thinking, my will, and emotions, I surrender and give to you. Soften and tenderize the hard places in my heart and make it soft and pliable.

Ignite and consume my heart, so that I am aflame with love for your son, Jesus and you. Give me eyes that are solely focused on him, captivated and motivated by his love. Transform my heart with explosions of your love, until I am contagious with love, mercy and compassion, for family, friends, neighbors and enemies.

Let the expression of love and mercy, in my life, be a sign and wonder to others. May the image of your son, Jesus, be what is seen in me.

So be it!

Thank you, Abba, love from your beloved child

The light of God’s love shined within us when he sent his matchless Son into the world so that we might live through him. This is love: He loved us long before we loved him. It was his love, not ours. He proved it by sending his Son to be the pleasing sacrificial offering to take away our sins. Delightfully loved ones, if he loved us with such tremendous love, then “loving one another” should be our way of life! (1 John 4:9-11 TPT)

Chosen For This Time

by Hazel Straub

Yahweh chose you to live in this time and season. He knew this was your time to live and overcome. Your destiny is to worship (to bow down in submission, inside your heart to him) and praise his name. Then you will walk with the Lord Jesus Christ and follow his lead, into good pastures.

Speak to the mountain that opposes you and keeps you from fulfilling what God has for you. Decree it removed and cast it down, with no doubt or unbelief. Then you will live in resurrection power, with no obstruction to your experiencing a joyful life of worship and praise to Yahweh, who is more than enough for all your needs. New doors that you never imagined will open for you, to walk through into new realms and opportunity that he planned for you. Rejoice in the Lord!

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. (Mark 11:23 NKJV)

Become More Like Jesus

by Hazel Straub

Quit looking for rescue from your situation. Jesus lives undefeated and Holy Spirit leads you in triumph. Every negative thing that occurs in your life, sets you up for an upgrade. God wants to change how you think. Your circumstances are not the problem but your perception of your situation. Take it to the Lord and get his perspective on the issue. Do not tackle the problem from the same level that it seems. Ask instead, “Where is Jesus in my circumstances?” Forget the “Why me?” victim mentality. Instead ask, “What does this mean for my relationship with you and what do you want me to do?”

Your problems’ primary purpose is to make you change and become more like Jesus. God created you in his image. Unless you think like him, doubt, fear and unbelief become your anthem. Favor, goodness, possibility, with all things turning for your good, is the believer’s portion. He faithfully walks besides you and will never leave or forsake you. In your circumstances, look for God’s presence . Realize he is good. Allow him to captivate your heart and go higher!

So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose. For he knew all about us before we were born and he destined us from the beginning to share the likeness of his Son. This means the Son is the oldest among a vast family of brothers and sisters who will become just like him. (Romans 8:28-29 TPT)

Freedom Or Entrapment In Our Speech

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

Recently, I was reading (Proverbs 6:2)”Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art caught by the words of your mouth.” The word snare means entrapped or barbed. Then the Holy Spirit began to show me some words of entrapment (inner vows) in my heart. One was “here we go again.”

The Lord said, “you’re saying this out of frustration and hurt because of a cycle or reoccurring problem of something undesired.” This is an inner vow or word of entrapment because you aren’t stopping the cycle but welcoming and continuing the cycle. Instead, you should say, “Lord, my life, my times are in your hands and I speak death to every cycle that is not a blessing in my life.” This will be the end of this curse and a new beginning.

Secondly, “Something is wrong with me”. He pointed out how this was an inner vow or word of entrapment. He said, “you are speaking this out of rejection from a person(s). You need to say, “I am wonderfully and fearfully made in the image and likeness of God. When he created me, he did it right. I am preserved, undamaged, intact, lacking nothing.”

Lastly, “I’m just anointed for mess, hurt, and abuse”. He pointed out, “this is not your portion, nor your daily benefits, or the more abundant life, I promised you.” What you should say, “I’m anointed to establish the Kingdom of God and his order. I’m anointed to be healed and bring healing to others. I’m anointed not to be abused but to bring healing to those abused, as well as the abuser.”

Then I began to repent and renounce the words of entrapment. Freedom came in and the snare was broken in these areas. Yahweh has not anointed you for mess, abuse, and hurt, but to be healed and bring healing, to be delivered from, and to conquer it. Death and Life are in the power of your tongue, speak death to the things of the enemy and life to the things of God Today!

Holy Spirit, show me any words of entrapment or inner vows that I have made, that I may repent, renounce, and thus destroy its altar in my life. Lord tear down every false altar in my heart til there’s only one altar in my heart reserved for You.

Speak words of FREEDOM, not words of entrapment…your life hinges on it.

Pray Faith Vision

by Hazel Straub

Pray with faith filled vision, not fear filled eyes. Fear looks at the circumstances and prays the problem. This prayer receives more problems, in answer to how it was conceived and perceived. Faith, however, sees the solution and prays it. Many times, you have a heart’s desire. Pray the Holy Spirit conceived desire, believe and see it, in faith fulfilled. Your faith will become sight.

And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly]. Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]. (Mark 11:22-24 AMPC)

Keys To Prosperity And Health

by Hazel Straub

When your heart fills with childlike trust in God, there is no need to analyze and map the road. Fully depend on God, and not on your brilliance and intellect.

Honor God with your best. Show an attitude of gratitude and listen to his voice. Receive his correction and discipline and don’t despise it. Know he delights in you, his dear child and he causes you to prosper.

Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Don’t assume that you know it all.
Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
your very bones will vibrate with life!
Honor God with everything you own;
give him the first and the best.
Your barns will burst,
your wine vats will brim over.
But don’t, dear friend, resent God’s discipline;
don’t sulk under his loving correction.
It’s the child he loves that God corrects;
a father’s delight is behind all this. (Proverbs 3:5-12 MSG)

God’s Word To You

by Apostle Gabriel Cross

There are some people who prey on the sympathy, of the weak. There are others, who only like you, when you’re doing or saying what they agree with. But then there are those whom make it a career in life, always looking for the worst, digging up dirt, or bringing up past sins, to always discredit someone in the eyes of others. However, when you know who you are (redeemed), and embrace who you are (approved of God), none of what they do or say matters.

What matters most is God’s Word in your life, it supersedes all sin, the past, and the opinions of mankind.

Trust God As Your Provider

by Hazel Straub

God says: “Trust me not your resources, job, abilities, reasoning or heritage. Nothing is too difficult for me. Did I not sustain the Israelites for 40 years in the wilderness? They had bread from heaven to eat and supernatural water. Their clothes and shoes did not wear out. I am the same yesterday, today and forever. I am your provision and there is no lack, when I am your source.”

And now I have it all—and keep getting more! The gifts you sent with Epaphroditus were more than enough, like a sweet-smelling sacrifice roasting on the altar, filling the air with fragrance, pleasing God no end. You can be sure that God will take care of everything you need, his generosity exceeding even yours in the glory that pours from Jesus. Our God and Father abounds in glory that just pours out into eternity. Yes. (Philippians 4:18-20 MSG)
