When you\u2019ve been knocked down, spun around, kicked and lied to, and you\u2019re going down for the count\u2026 you\u2019ve been beaten and left for dead~<\/h6>\n
That\u2019s the time to dig deep, turn and meet your enemy head on\u2026<\/h6>\n
And with every ounce of strength, you\u2019ve got left, Stand up and Fight like never before\u2026<\/h6>\n
Not in your might, nor in your power, but in the power of the God of heaven\u2026filled with Holy Ghost determination, strong in the Faith by the Spirit of the Living God You, Will, Not Fail!!!<\/h6>\n
Life gets messy. It gets downright ugly and terrifying and sometimes you just want to give up!<\/h6>\n
But God says\u2026<\/h6>\n
8\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.\u00a09\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.\u00a010\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.<\/em><\/h6>\n
11\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>Yes, we live under constant danger of death because we serve Jesus, so that the life of Jesus will be evident in our dying bodies.\u00a012\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>So we live in the face of death, but this has resulted in eternal life for you. <\/em>2 Corinthians 4:8-12 New Living Translation<\/em><\/h6>\n
Children of the Living Holy God, the One who created all things, the One who said, I will never leave you nor forsake you\u2026It\u2019s Him, He\u2019s the one who is The Way, The Truth and The Life\u2026<\/h6>\n
He says\u2026<\/h6>\n
GET UP! You may be cast down, but you are not forsaken!! This life is just a vapor\u2026it\u2019s here today and gone tomorrow! But You, as a Child of the Living God, You Will Never Die!!!<\/h6>\n
\u201cMake Hay While the Sun Still Shines!\u201d<\/strong> A dear friend of mine from years ago said those words. Grace Nealis, she was a mentor and a friend to me and to many people. Her words Ring Loud in my ears today!!<\/h6>\n
\u201cMake Hay While the Sun Still Shines!\u201d<\/strong><\/h6>\n
Brothers and sisters, we don\u2019t have time to waste\u2026<\/h6>\n
Stop looking for a savior to rescue you! There is only One Savior and He already did that if you\u2019ll believe and accept Him. Jesus is the Savior!<\/h6>\n
This is a divine appointment right here, right now!! The words you are reading are not by accident. God wants to tell you something, keep your eyes on Him! Tune your ears to His Voice!<\/h6>\n
\u201cCome, Follow Me! Take up your cross and crucify the flesh. Take a breath and breathe in the Holy Spirit and then exhale! You can\u2019t see that breath, but you can see the results of it. Let My Peace, the wholeness and the complete awareness of my Presence saturate your being and know, I AM that I Am, is with you! People make promises they don\u2019t keep. They lie, steal, cheat and deceive to get what they are hiding in their hearts so that their selfish motives they can attain. Be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove. Ask for Godly wisdom, I will give it to all who ask! Do not look to the past or to the future your Hope is not there, Your Hope is Now, and can only be found in Me. The author and finisher of your faith!! Whether you know it or not, You\u2019ve in a war. A war for your souls, your life and the lives of your children and children\u2019s children. But Do Not Fear! I Am with you. There is a time for everything under heaven\u2026Fast and Pray, seek me with your whole heart. See with your Spiritual eyes and hear with your Spiritual ears\u2026what you see in the natural is being manifested in the spiritual realm and the battle is raging. My people those who know me and who I know, listen to what the Spirit of the Lord is saying\u2026it\u2019s way past time to stay asleep\u2026WAKE UP! You can\u2019t win this battle in the flesh\u2026because this enemy is not flesh but he used the flesh to obtain his results. The weapons of our warfare are these\u2026<\/h6>\n
3-6\u00a0<\/em><\/sup>The world is unprincipled. It\u2019s dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn\u2019t fight fair. But we don\u2019t live or fight our battles that way\u2014never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren\u2019t for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity.<\/em><\/h6>\n
7-8\u00a0<\/sup>You stare and stare at the obvious, but you can\u2019t see the forest for the trees. If you\u2019re looking for a clear example of someone on Christ\u2019s side, why do you so quickly cut me out? Believe me, I am quite sure of my standing with Christ. You may think I overstate the authority he gave me, but I\u2019m not backing off. Every bit of my commitment is for the purpose of building you up, after all, not tearing you down. 2 Corinthians 10:4-8 The Message<\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
Oh, hear The Father\u2019s Heart today, get alone with Him and talk to Him like never before! Many will be deceived because they will not stay close to the Shepherd. But all who will heed His Word and draw near to him and resist the devil, they will find he will flee from them!<\/h6>\n
Dry your tears, shake yourself off and get in the fight, but fight with the full armor of God, the God-tools, not your own. God bless you, I am praying for you, please pray for me too!!!<\/h6>\n
