Battle

 

 2 Esdras 16:37 Behold, the plagues draw nigh, and are not slack. 38As when a woman with child in the ninth month bringeth forth her son, with two or three hours of her birth great pains compass her womb, which pains, when the child cometh forth, they slack not a moment: 39Even so shall not the plagues be slack to come upon the earth, and the world shall mourn, and sorrows shall come upon it on every side. 40O my people, hear my word: make you ready to thy battle, and in those evils be even as pilgrims upon the earth.

 


Make you  ready to the battle! The Most High says. How are you making ready for your battle? How are you getting ready? Where are your weak areas and where have you compromised and let down the most high? It's time to back up! Its time to suck it up rule over your flesh. Bring your body into subjection. Get yourself inside and outside in shape. Discipline!!! Soldiers are disciplined. People where is your discipline?? Where is your commitment? Where are your priorities?








Colossians Chapter 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Even Now

Image result for even now
When we're are struggling, when we are weak, when we are hurting, When we have everything but the kitchen sink thrown at us we must carry on. We must continue to move forward. We must continue to fight sin, learn scripture, pray. 


Image result for boot campTo become elite of this world. Soldier, fighter,athlete, trainer,  you must become 100% committed. There is a thing in football called hell week. If you ever talk to a foot ball player they will tell you that that week is the toughest most grueling week of training that kicks off the season, and begins a full time commitment to the game. Also to begin service in the military you must first make it through boot camp. During both of these times the people involved commit fully to the process and push themselves harder then they have ever been pushed. 

Routines change, discipline is developed, bad habits are broken, and only those who are determined to endure survive.

Run Your Race to Win(Berean Study Bible)
1 Corinthians 9:24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize. 25Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable. 26Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air. 27No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified. 


Have you been to spiritual boot camp? Are you in a time where you are struggling and feeling broken? Are you questioning you commitment? Time to press through the pain and dive in. That's where the rewards come in. Not when you quit, slack off, or back down but when you press through.

Bound vs Bondage





In our pursuit of truth we know that we are leaving the old (world) to become made new (whole) in the Most High.  As we transition we are going to be challenged by the spirits that we took on or entertained before coming into the truth.

  These very spirits will not let go and want you to stay in bondage to them.  Their assignment is to keep you from being made new in Abba.  How do you know where you are????  In bondage you experience just enough earthly pleasure to soothe you, to keep you sedated and comfortable in this fallen place.  The more that you allow yourself to be immersed in darkness you will fall victim to the poison and be given over to a reprobate mind.  Those you love here will be a part of this mission.  Satan’s’ deception, his ways, his ways will become yours and before you know it you are His elect with no hope of escaping.  Their allegiance is encompassing, with dedication come what may to their Father.  They will pursue you because their plight is set and they have no hope of ever receiving the gift; that we are offered by the Most High. They will be relentless and meticulous in seeking you out.



Becoming who the Most High purposed us to be after we are redeemed or reborn is a fight.  There is no compromise and we are only His when we move in His commandments.  Your failure to do so puts you in jeopardy and you will not be covered forever.  Know that you will have to choose!!!  This means being "Set Apart" in every way, even if you are the last one standing in the commandments until His work is done!!!!!  In becoming renewed in the Most High  we are His we are bound to Him by this
lawSo in Abba there is “a limiting line “ drawn for us by the commandments and in choosing them we choose Him ; which means that He is the “something” that limits or “restrains” us so we can be made new in His image.  This restraint is not grievous and the more we grow the better being bound feels. IF we are His we are to move in it and to bear witness of ALL that our given word He illustrated Him to be IF we believe.  In doing so He can show others that He chooses to be His remnant the very light that drew us.   

What is the difference in being bound to Abba there is no torment only peace.....you will truly be made new through our Savior and be found worthy to be counted as His own.   Our instruction gives us a idea of what this looks like in Ephesians 4:1-3 explains this in detail and is good to meditate delve into as you seek Him out.  You will here whispers; that are lies saying: how we are instructed to move in OUR laws is done away with; that we are the ones in bondage.  To which you
ONLY answer in joy YES.....YES I am with hesitation!!!!!!!   Our being bound grants us eternal joy, complete healing and no more sorrow forever more.  IF you have eyes to see that the darkness that has manifested is only the beginning of what Abba has laid out.  We have chosen to move in His love in peace and not be grieved in it.  THEREFORE......we are given a
priceless opportunity to be blessed to comprehend the fullness of who we are in the Most High to see, feel, hear, speak, and comprehend all that He is just as it was always intended.   If you are in bondage there is hope and you can choose to be free.  IF ......you are free stay
"tied tight" and don't let go.  Walk out this testimony as a witness and strive like never before knowing that our Rescue Party is coming........and His feast is by invitation only.......for those invigorated to be steadfast; because the day of the Most High......the Ancient of Days is at hand....all praises to our Creator !!!!!!!

Thoughts

 

I Know the thoughts I think toward you.............................
consider that. The most high thinking about you. How often do you think of Him?  Are you conscious that you could change his opinion of you?? Do you bring Him joy? Frustration? Sorrow?

 



Matt10:30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Proverbs 16:9“A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.”


2 Peter 2:9“The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:”


Psalms 1:2“But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.”


Do you know that your attitude and/or mouth could disqualify you?  That right! Does a disobedient child deserve to be rewarded??  We must begin by taking every thought captive.

Meditating ON SCRIPTURE and MAKING HIS THOUGHTS YOUR THOUGHTS.(Isa 55:8-9, Romans 12:2) How can you think the way that he thinks if you have no perspective or faith? If you have no knowledge of Him or his ways? If you have invested no time or effort into knowing the plans and picture He has for this earth and the kingdom to come? 

No disobedience or rebellion will be tolerated in the new kingdom. 



Where are you compromising in your life? 




Faith is a gift. If you need more you must ask, but like with any other gift you must endure the pain that it takes to grow it. Ripping away of lies and seeds of doubt that you have allowed to be planted within your heart and mind and the planting of hope, faith, and Love.  Weeding a garden is not an easy process but is the only way for the beautiful things that you have planted to grow!

Psalms 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

What is Fear?





Image result for false evidence appearing real 

The bible tells us over and over Fear Not! Yet fear is the number one tactic the enemy uses against believers. If he can get you to fear in any area he will begin to chip away at your faith. And that is what he is really after.  We allow fear to control so many aspects of our lives.  Fear of failure often leads to inaction. Fear of judgement by others keeps us from being authentic. Fear of non completion keeps us from even trying. There are so many aspects of our lives that if we could just look fear in the face and conquer it with the power, authority, and strength given to us by The Most High through his son Yashaya; that we would become awe inspiring people!


2 Esdras 2:17“Fear not, thou mother of the children: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord.” 

 1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”


Isaiah 41:10“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”

Too much Talking!!!!!!

Image result for talking
Image result for tongue is a fire

Have you ever been in a situation where you find yourself interacting with another person and you can't get a word in edgewise?? Like you have to interrupt them to even be able to speak? Have you ever wondered why people are like that? The tongue is a fiery member. (Jas 3:5-6) When you can control it;you control your whole body. (Jas 3:2) We will be judged for EVERY IDLE WORD ( Matt 12:36)






 Having wisdom and listening to the Holy Spirit will tell you when it is time to speak and when things are better left unsaid. So many times we allow ourselves to speak out of anger or unsettled emotion and then we end up saying things  that we didn't truly mean.

Image result for tongue is a fireKnowing when to speak and when to hold your tongue is invaluable wisdom.  Knowing what sort of things to speak about and being able to just be; without having to speak.



James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

1 Peter 3:10 | For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

Proverbs 17:9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. 

Romans1: 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Proverbs 13:3 - He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: [but] he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

1 Thessalonians 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; 12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and [that] ye may have lack of nothing.

2 Peter 3:11 “Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,”
