Because He Lives, I Live

By Christina

imageHappy Easter Sunday!

The pages that are never seen are the ones that become the most powerful answered prayer. It is that moment that all you can say in your soul is, “Yes! God you see me, hear me, acknowledge me and move me in every way.” It is greater than any other affirmation or confirmation. It is your moment KNOWING…. God is with me.

I read my last devotional over coffee in the a.m. which stated the following:

March 27
Every morning when you awake, I’m there beside you. I hear you and I have mercy on you at all times: when you’re weak and when you’re strong. I hear you. I know when your bones ache and your energy wanes. I know when you laugh wildly and when your pillow is wet with tears. I see you in triumph and in defeat. Never doubt Me. I’m your miracle, your trophy, your fortune, and your strength. I’m the fuel and hope you need, dear one, not the world.

Tender But Not Tainted

By Christina

imageI shared a message yesterday of faith and it took all that I had to do so. This is my lifeline. So I take the words and translate them here.

It’s certainly never easy to take that leap of faith where you feel every ounce of it. I end up hating my emotions, for they vary so much as I make the move.

It is like when you take that leap of faith you get hit with a leap of fire your way too. So you live it even more. Take the plunge. We empty ourselves out…poured out like that drink offering in order to fit the call.

We are in obedience.

We empty the vessel…we empty the jar to fill up with the things of God, nothing less than that.

We become transparent. We become vulnerable. We become tender before all. Now how can we be that one who is tender but not tainted? Where we don’t have to fight off all that God delivered us from again and again.

The war is won! He took the lead! God did that. We surrender all before Him.

We live by FAITH, not by sight!
2 Corinthians 5:7

Where Does She Go Wrong?

By Christina

imageHow are her thoughts?

She wakes up…

Perhaps alone, perhaps together, perhaps even with some sort of stranger. What value does she have? For if the thoughts were that she was so much more, then she would never be in a place where she went wrong.

What completes her? What competes with her? That seems to be have a strong weight over her. Moments, money, make up or maintenance. Oh the work that it takes! Where did she go wrong?

Can this ever be fixed? Can this ever be corrected or ever done the right way?

Yes! It can get better. She can because she believed that she could!

She believed in her God! Continue reading

It’s The Principality

By Christina

image
We really have to do a better job AS Christians at understanding what we are actually fighting against.

It is not the person, the job, the marriage, the kids, the money, the business…it is THE PRINCIPALITY!

We must recognize what we are fighting against.

Today—see it as it is…don’t be angry about those unchangeable things, when God can change the unchangeable. We give it to God in prayer. Thank you God! Thank you MJ! Thank you my sisters in Christ. Thank you for sending vessels my way to constantly remind me that I am fighting against demonic forces and strongholds. I can beat them! I can…if Jesus did it—so can we!

I truly love the Word of God. YES! It is always found in His word. Continue reading
