Winter Words

By Christina

Negative comments have assasinated many dreams!
~Apostle Juan Mendez

What a word that was–for sometimes we can speak that negativity over our own life!!!

We have got to change what we speak, by changing the words on replay in our heads. Some cold winter words sweeping through when we don’t think or believe the very best can happen for us.

So every day we need to counter any negativity with positive and powerful constructive words so that we reap the benefits of what is entitled to us as believers.

Words kill, words give life;
They’re either poison or fruit — you choose.
Proverbs 18:21 MSG

We choose what we want by what we say because of what we think. This is that part that needs the most transformative work. A deep cleaning and detoxing –the way we were taught tonight at MUI Church during bible study.

Detoxing so that we can receive direction, embrace change, have renewed thinking, be optimistic and X out all the negativity in our life. Words! Words! Words! It affects everything around us. Just like this onset of winter weather… these words and ways of thinking can be so cold.

It is time to warm things up a whole bunch of notches higher. As we prep for 2020… What will we think? What will we speak? And what will we do now?

NOW!

Not on 1/1/2020 but now so that going INTO the new year, our vision is fresh. That our focus is sharp. That our dreams are being carried out starting with our words. We have the upper hand. We are in control of what we allow to fill our minds.

So let’s gear up this winter and watch the words that speak.

Let’s watch the Word work on our behalf.

New confession…. I am guaranteed to succeed. I will have good success towards all that I do. I will flourish and favor will follow me everywhere that I go. I will have the best fruit because I am willing to make the sacrifice and give up the good for what is best.

There is no better time like the present. So many great things to come. Speak it out. Positive mind, positive vibes, positive life, positive outcome.

Be blessed,

Christina ♥️

A Whole New World

By Christina

“Until the LORD has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the LORD your God is giving them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD’s servant gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise.””
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1:15‬ ‭NKJV

You know that God wants us to enjoy things right? To enjoy life? Even to enjoy change?

Yet we fear it. Especially when it looks too good. Worry tries to rise up like we can’t obtain it. Like it can’t be ours.
But it can be because it is what He has given to us…

A land of your possession and enjoy it!

That is what is written. So much of myself struggles with the new. With the constant changes but it is the moment I can hear Him the most. “This is your new normal.” And I said OK to that. Trust is tough… it leads you to the treasure though and that could never be easy. There was work and investment involved. For when we get there, we have to enjoy it. That is why the rest comes first because it helps us to transition well.

I am going to enjoy this beautiful Christmastime… a whole new world once again. I have to be willing to step out in faith so that it drives out all the fear and complacency. It is the fear that tries to cripple me, criticize me and cancel out the dreams. The complacency that tries to assault and assassinate my hope.

I HAVE TO SHARE THIS ONE MORE TIME!

I am not going to be ruled by fear but faith. Everytime He brings me to a new place spiritually, physically and even times emotionally through a particular process –I have to trust the whole new world is in His hands! There is so much more, don’t kill it being complacent. Embrace the newness. Sieze the day. Possess the land –every single one I can tread upon. It is part of the promise.

Enjoy it.

Just enjoy it!

D E C E M B E R

By Christina

It’s December! God has already done so much as we are just one day in and one day closer to the end of the year. We are getting ready for the reset of 2020. What a spoken word today! What a shared victory –it is tremendous! God is so good. It is an amazing season to be in and walk through with individuals that are ride or die no matter what.

“They they told him, and said;
‘We went to the land where you sent us.
It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit'”
Numbers 13:27

Today we went to a service in Paterson NJ –as a participation of ordination at Harvest Outreach Ministries with Apostle Edward Ramirez. I was so moved today. Mostly –of course, experiencing and witnessing my husband Apostle Juan Mendez in such a higher realm. And just basking in that word today for RESET.

Recovering
Everything
Satan
Ever
Took

How many years have gone by that we felt robbed? Shortchanged? Stuck? Complacent? Or at a constant loss? www.juschrist4.comYes I can attest that I felt like that the majority of my life. Until now. Here I am just enjoying the time that I am getting to spend with radical people that love Jesus in a radical way. Not only that but that they love us that way too! Can you believe it? We are grateful.

Some people last in your life for a lesson, a season or a lifetime. I need some lifetime folks in my life for sure. Those that fear God and understand the various callings and unique places that we all possess. Because together we can conquer so much more. It is where their victory becomes our victory and where our victory becomes their victory.

Where are the people that can set aside their agenda for connecting to kingdom purpose? Where are the people that can say now –in service and support I can sow that so I can grow that? Where does that even exist in a day and age where we are all so busy with our schedules, tasks and the many pressing priorities.

Here are some amazing people that decided to join us today for a day of ordination.  Here are some people that can carry the call with you in addition to what they carry within their own threshold. What a work! What an assignment! What a great place to be!

Here is what you can experience when you wait on God to bring those that you have been praying for all along.

So who is to say that the land flowing with milk and honey is beyond the things you can see in the natural.  It is not a physical place, a mental place or an emotional place.  It is a heavenly and spiritual place.  It is a realm that you tap into that is beyond what you have now. It is grasping onto the God who plants you right next to the visionaries and pioneers of the faith who will labor with you.  The ones that will share in the overwhelming victory beyond December!  The ones that point you right back to HIM too!

It’s big people of God! For when you may see littleness in big places and bigness in little places –you can pull out the fullness of the whole walk and purpose that God has for US!

Togetherness. Unity. Divine appointment. Shared success and shared victory. All these things are possible for us.  We will recover everything that satan has tried to take from us! We will recover nothing but VICTORY AFTER TREMENDOUS VICTORY! It is our time! OUR TIME! Let’s keep moving forward as a body of believers that can shake the nations for Jesus the way He wants us to.  We leave a mark this month! We leave a mark of victory.

Glory be to God –December is looking pretty great! ❤ This is it’s fruit. #numbers13

Amen and Amen

Thanksgiving Transaction

By Christina

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.
To Him who alone does GREAT wonders,
His love endures forever.
Who by His understanding made the heavens,
His love endures forever.
Psalm 136:1-5 (NIV)

We can think of so many things to give thanks to God for in this season.  It is a transaction.  We don’t see it taking place but it is… As we thank God in everything, He is doing something IN us. He is transforming us, He is transitioning us, He is moving within us. ❤

“If you give Me thanks, I will give you JOY!”

What a great heavenly transaction that is happening when we do this. This is a simple exchange with Him. We give thanks unto God for His goodness and mercy. For His love endures forever. He is so wonderful to us. His love will never run out and His favor over us will never cease.

How good it is to KNOW this.

Let us take this time and give Him a grateful heart. Reflecting on the goodness of God. Reflecting on the fullness of God. Reflecting on the greatness of God. Oh HOW GOOD HE IS!

Isn’t that so wonderful to know that His goodness is going to be with us and chasing us down. I wanted to jump online this morning after prayer and share the gratitude that He has placed inside of me this special season.  A thanksgiving transaction –filled with love and joy! Filled with hope and grace. Let’s focus on who He is, what we have and who He has made us to be.  All these things are a gift to us.

May you all have a sweet holiday today gathered amongst family and friends.  Rejoice and be glad! From my heart to yours.  Let us celebrate such an awesome season today and everyday forth.  Have an amazing Thanksgiving Day!!! Be blessed.

With Love,

Christina
