How Lie Can Lock You Down hmmm

"(We are) casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Cor. 10:5).

In the Hebrew Calendar, we are in the month of Av, this month is represented by the Tribe of Simeon, and has been said to be a month in which keys to reverse the curse are released. Now for some people this can be a bunch of rhetoric, but for me, this month has proved to be exactly what it says it is. It is a key giving, curse reversing, kind of month. What God has been showing me in just this first week of this Hebrew month of Av is blowing my natural mind, exciting my spiritual mind and healing my soul.

Since God is omniscient, meaning He is all knowing, He knew we were going to be born in this time in history, He knew we would be having the challenges personally and corporately that we are having, and He decided in His omniscience to have us be alive for such a time as this. So, God is not moved, nor surprised by anything that is going on in us, through us, or even around us, personally, nationally or internationally. Do you agree?

So, since this is all TRUTH, then where is the lie that is keeping us powerless, keeping us bound, keeping us locked up, held back? The problem is not with God, He is bigger than we can even comprehend, He is more powerful than we recognize, and He is more loving than we believe, so the issue lies with our vain imaginations. Somewhere inside of us, we have come to believe a lie, which when we come into agreement with it, becomes a stronghold and hinders what God wants to do in us and through us. Stay with me.

Yesterday, I was watching a sermon by John Paul Jackson and the Lord was speaking directly to me through this man of God. The Lord showed me that I have lived with a stronghold of believing what others have said about me. Now for me, it was a spirit of intimidation that I come into agreement with. This spirit of intimidation eroded at my confidence and kept me in the realm of knowing and even understanding, but not believing.

Believing is putting our whole weight on God, it is not doubting, fearing or even flinching when an attack comes because you know what He said and He is not a man that He should lie. So, I would second guess myself, that I heard clearly, or that I was really as up to date as I thought I was when it came to obedience.

Why is this significant? It's significant because the intimidator kept me from believing what God was saying about me, and, in doing so, kept me from receiving what God wants to pour out on me. I am not a mistake, God knew the personality He gave me, the body type I would have, everything about me and He called me to be a mouthpiece for Him. I did not ask for, have an opinion about or get to give advice on any of these things.

He made me like this and He likes what he made, He actually said it is very good. So, my vain imagination was that I did not like what He made and some others have not either, so I tried to dumb it down, shut it up, tone it down, and in doing so, I came into agreement with the intimidator to stay down, and this is a vain imagination that exalted itself over the knowledge of God.

I don't know what stronghold you are stuck in and honestly you probably don't either, for the enemy is very subtle and sneaky. But this I do know, the mystery of why things are not working is in the history and as we allow the Lord to look into our history, and show us the lie that has us locked up, we will be given keys that will reverse the curse in our own lives, so we can cast down vain imaginations in the lives of those we love. I'm free and now I see and agree with who God has made me to be. It's about to get really fun!

THE JOY OF THE LORD

And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. - 1 John 1:4

It is tragic to go through life with a stone face. The enemy has convinced too many into thinking that they need to be always sober and serious in order to be a Christian.

Don't fall for that trick. God wants you to be joyful and happy. In fact, He prescribes laughter as a medicine for our souls.

"The joy of the Lord is our strength." It is God's great prescription for living a long, healthy, and happy life.

Recent studies have shown that a joyful disposition boosts the body's immune system, reduces stress, reduces the risk of heart attack, and even acts as a natural tranquilizer.

Those are health benefits everyone needs. The "medicine" of laughter is within everyone, but you may need to start taking it before it works in your life.

It is important to note that the joy of the Lord is not simply bursting into laughter because you heard a funny joke. Neither is it a fake pretense at being happy or giggling senselessly.

The joy of the Lord has a spiritual source. It is produced by the Holy Spirit and is produced from within our hearts by Him.

Because it is supernatural in nature, it cannot be controlled by our circumstances.

Four factors influence our joy:

• Our salvation. We are joyful because our sins are forgiven, and our names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

• Our security. We are joyful because we know that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. We are safe in Him.

• Our service. We are joyful because we allow the Holy Spirit to use us to touch other people's lives. Our lives are useful.

• Most importantly, we are joyful because of our earnest expectation of the glory of God when Christ our Lord comes.

Prayer: Joyful, joyful we adore You Lord of glory, Lord of love.

WHO ARE YOUR FRIENDS?

He who walks with wise men will be wise, but companions of fools will be destroyed. - Proverbs 13:20

A man who wanted to buy a donkey went to the market, and, coming across a donkey on sale, arranged with the owner that he should be allowed to take him home on trial to see what he was like.

When he reached home, he put the donkey into his stable along with the other donkeys he had.

The newcomer took a look round, and immediately went and chose a place next to the laziest and greediest donkey in the stable.

When the master saw this he took hold of him at once, and led him off and handed him over to his owner again.

The owner was really surprised to see him back so soon, and asked, "Why, do you mean to say you have tested him already?"

The man replied, "I don't want to put him through any more tests, I could see what sort of donkey he is from the companion he chose for himself."

The question to you today is, 'what sort of donkey are you?' Are you lazy or hardworking?

Just take a good look at the kind of places you go and the kind of friends you get attracted to and you will determine the kind of person you are.

Do you feel comfortable in the company of lazy gossipers? If you always feel the pull to hang around people with very questionable values, you may have to re-examine your own values.

The problem is not in the people you feel attracted to; rather, it is in your own character. The company you keep is a reflection of the values you have.

Prayer: Lord, draw me closer to the kind of people who will inspire and challenge me to be holy and productive.

Scriptural Reading: Proverbs 13:20

WATER AND SOAP IN ARMPIT BEFORE BEDTIME

We spend the night with clean and underarm deodorant, to be a free breathing time the armpit.
Some time ago, I went to a seminar on Breast Cancer, led by Terry Birk with support from Dan Sullivan.

During the discussion, asked why the most common reason for developing breast cancer tumors is near the armpit.

My question could not be answered at that time.
This information was sent to me recently, and I'm glad it has been answered.
I informed a friend who is undergoing chemotherapy and she said that I had this information, obtained in a support group that frequents ...
Now I want to share information with you.!The main cause of Breast Cancer
is the use of anti-perspirant!

Most products on the market are a combination of anti-perspirant/deodorants.
Look at the labels!
Deodorant is fine,
ANTI-PERSPIRANT, NO.
The concentration of toxins causes
cell mutation:
CANCER. Here's why:

The human body is just a few areas where it can eliminate toxins: behind the knees, behind the ears, the English area and armpits.
Toxins are eliminated through perspiration.
The anti-perspirant, as the name says, prevents you from perspiring, thereby inhibiting the body to eliminate toxins through the armpits.
These toxins do not magically disappear.

As not come with sweat, the organism ta deposited in the lymph glands found under the arms.
Most breast cancers occur in the upper outside quadrant of the breast area.
Precisely where are the glands in men seems to occur to a lesser extent, but are not exempt from
Breast Cancer develop because of the anti-perspirant used instead of soap and water.
The difference lies in the fact that when men use anti-perspirant, not applied directly to the skin, they do so in large part on the hair of the armpits.

Women who apply antiperspirant or aftershave shaving the underarms, increase the risk due to tiny injuries and skin irritations which make harmful chemical components to penetrate more quickly into the body.

HE GIVES YOU SPEED ENOUGH TO CATCH UP

In life, our human brain cannot comprehend some supernatural interventions. We tend to analyse the situation based on our experience.
But you know what, God is beyond our analysis.

When a child is born, the child is expected to start developing strenght gradually.
At a time, we expect that the back of the child start to develop enough strenght to hold his body in a posture whilst sitting. After this, the child starts to sit without any support. Then, after a few months, we expect them to start crawling. After this they start to cruise. ....they hold the chair and move from one place to another, with their hands still holding the chair. Once they take the first few steps following the crusing, we get excited. Before long, there is hopping, before long, there is jumping and running.

Natural Life can come in stages and if you are delayed in one, you are automatically delayed in others that were supposed to come after it.
Naturally, a child who has never used his legs does not have power in them , when he now gains the use of the legs, he should start from the beginning. He should start crawling, then cruising, then wobbling and then walking.

But, when JESUS COMES IN.....NATURAL SEQUENCES ARE HASTENED AT THE SPEED FASTER THAN LIGHT.....

ACT 3:1-11
One day at three o’clock in the afternoon, Peter and John were on their way into the Temple for prayer meeting. At the same time there was a man crippled from birth being carried up. Every day he was set down at the Temple gate, the one named Beautiful, to beg from those going into the Temple. When he saw Peter and John about to enter the Temple, he asked for a handout. Peter, with John at his side, looked him straight in the eye and said, “Look here.” He looked up, expecting to get something from them. Peter said, “I don’t have a nickel to my name, but what I do have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!” He grabbed him by the right hand and pulled him up. In an instant his feet and ankles became firm. He jumped to his feet and walked. The man went into the Temple with them, walking back and forth, dancing and praising God. Everybody there saw him walking around and praising God. They recognized him as the one who sat begging at the Temple’s Gate Beautiful and rubbed their eyes, astonished, scarcely believing what they were seeing. The man threw his arms around Peter and John, ecstatic. All the people ran up to where they were at Solomon’s Porch to see it for themselves.

At times, when you have been suffering for a long time, you think you don't deserve good anymore, or that you may have to put a lot of effort in order to get a result commensurate with your colleagues.
You feel like you have lost time.
You regret that you have lost opportunities.

This morning, God wants me to tell you....WHEN YOU ALLOW HIM INTO YOUR PREDICAMENT......HE GIVES YOU SPEED ENOUGH TO CATCH UP.

When God comes to the scene of your disadvantage , you dont have to crawl before you walk. You dont have to walk before you jump...He makes your legs strong for the state you are due at that moment.
WITH GOD, YOU CAN RUN WITHOUT LEARNING TO CRAWL OR WALK......

Dont allow your present status to weigh you down. There is a presence that can make you recover what you have lost and overtaken them that seem to have gone ahead. The man at the Beautiful gate was delayed but his steps, when he started were more popular than those who had walked all their lives..

When God suspends the natural sequence for you, your progress will defy reasonable explanation... bring God in...and remember that its not in who started walking first, but whose steps carry the most weight! By Sis Bola

PERSIST IN PRAYER

And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" - Mark 10:47

I wonder whether Bartimaeus, a blind man, would have been healed by Jesus if he had simply sat in silence when Jesus walked by. Would Jesus have stopped and turned toward him and touched him? Perhaps. But there were a lot of blind people around during Jesus' earthly ministry.

There were a lot of deaf people. There were a lot of people with leprosy. There were a lot of people with all kinds of physical problems. But Jesus didn't heal all of those people, did He?

In fact, we usually find in Scripture that Jesus responded to the people who called out to Him. In the case of Bartimaeus, he cried out, and his voice was heard. It probably helped that he screamed.

We do not need to scream in our prayers, necessarily, but we do need to be persistent. What is your need today?

Do you need a touch in your body, like Bartimaeus did? Then call out to Jesus.

Does your marriage need help? Then call out to Jesus. And don't give up if the answer does not come quickly.

Jesus said, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." (Matthew 7:7-8).

When Jesus stopped to restore Bartimaeus' sight, He was on His way to the cross. He was on His way to die for the sins of the world—and for your sins and mine.

Do you need His forgiveness today? Then call out to Jesus. Romans 10:13 says, "For 'whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.' "

Prayer: Lord, increase my faith and give me persistent spirit in prayer.

10 Foods You Should Never Refrigerate

1:
TOMATOES
Tomatoes lose all their flavor in the fridge because the cold air stops the ripening process. Refrigeration also changes their texture.

2:
POTATOES
Keeping potatoes in the fridge will make them sweet and gritty, since the cold environment turns their starch into sugar more quickly. Instead, store them in a paper bag in a cool but not cold place.
3:
AVOCADOS
Trying to ripen your avocados? Definitely don't put them in the fridge. However, already-ripe ones that you aren't going to use right away can go in there.
4:
BREAD
The refrigerator will dry out your bread quickly. Unless it's sliced sandwich bread that you plan on using in the next few days, keep it in the freezer or on the counter instead.
5:
GARLIC
Garlic will start to sprout in the fridge eventually. It may also get rubbery and moldy, so it's best to keep in a cool, dry place.
6:
HONEY
Honey will stay good practically forever if you keep it tightly sealed at room temperature.
7:
BASIL
It's better to keep basil sitting out in a fresh cup of water, like cut flowers. It wilts faster in the refrigerator and absorbs the smells of all the food around it.
8:
OLIVE OIL

Storing olive oil in the fridge will make it condense and turn into a harder, butter-like consistency.

9:
COFFEE

Leaving coffee beans or grounds in the fridge will make them lose their flavor and even take on the flavor of foods around them. Store large quantities in the freezer, and smaller amounts in a cool, dark place.

10:
ONIONS
The moisture of the refigerator will eventually turn onions soft and moldy. Keep them in a cool, dry place instead. But don't put them near your potatoes. When stored together, both deteriorate faster. source: housebeautiful.com

"I AM CHOSEN BY GOD"

The word 'Chosen' in Hebrew is: BACHIR (Reference: Strong's 972.) in Greek it is: EKLEKTOS (Strong's 1588.) It means to be the elect, to be chosen out. Being chosen by GOD means to be specially hand picked by the creator, it means to be 'intentionally' called.

Prior to my birth, my parents were not exactly expecting me. Most especially my Dad, He was comfortable being the Father of 2, as I already had a Brother and a Sister on earth. However, My Heavenly Father had a plan! My earthly Father ended up having 4 children. You see, GOD already purposed that I would be born at an appointed time to the designated parents He 'chose' for me. He fore-knew me, He predestined me and chose me for a reason. The moment I was born, my Dad said, "This is the will of GOD" because I wasn't expecting her but I know GOD is in charge. So he named me "Oluwa-Fe-eyi" meaning (GOD wants this/The will of GOD). When I grew up and realized the meaning of my name, I was excited and understood that GOD chose me.

Everyone on earth was chosen for one thing or the other. I want you to know that you were intentionally chosen by GOD. However the bible makes us as believers understand that we are not just chosen, we are chosen for Greatness and for Glory. Romans 8:28-30 (...For whom He also Called/Chose, He Justified and them that He Justified, He also 'GLORIFIED'. Most times, Chosen people do not have a choice. People like Abraham, King David, Jonah, Samuel, Saul, Jeremiah, Saul=Paul, Queen Esther and many more.

The bible says in Jeremiah chapter 1 that before we were in our mother's belly, He ordained us. Before our parents knew us, He already chose us. GOD goes further and calls us in (1Peter 2:9) a Chosen Generation, a Royal Priesthood, a Holy Nation... I strongly believe that the Chosen generation is 'Now' in this 21st Century. Therefore, I want us to hold fast to the Word of GOD, declaring it everyday that we are Chosen.

The Statement "I AM Chosen by GOD" is very powerful because it aggravates the enemy for he was not chosen for greatness, instead he was rejected. So I urge us to declare it when situations speak contrary, when we do not get chosen for the job we want or chosen by the man/woman we desire or when we do not get the contract we want. We should declare the Word, knowing that we are 'Chosen' for something better and greater than what we could ever imagine.

Have an awesome day, because you are CHOSEN!

Is Eating One's Placenta After Birth Beneficial/Harmful? READ

The placenta can be eaten raw, or it can be incorporated into a special meal. Placenta recipes are a real thing that are on the Internet. Lest you never want to eat lasagna again, I have not included links. It can be cooked (usually steamed) then sliced, dehydrated, and encapsulated into a pill. Sometimes women freeze it in small chunks and blend it into a smoothie.

Whether one's placenta is seen as a bloody byproduct or a bonus prize is up to cultural and personal interpretation. Placentas contain remainder nutrients and hormones that were passed from mother to child in utero, but no clinical studies attest to their benefit (or harm). Often cited is a 1954 study that aimed to increase lactation in new mothers by feeding them freeze-dried placenta. "So far," its authors boasted, "we can report on 210 women who ate placenta: 71 with very good results, 110 with good, and 29 with negative results," with very good results involving an increase in breast size and milk production. The study is limited, however, in that no controls were used, and 59 years later, science has yet to follow up on those initial findings. Jodi Selander (­@placenta­l­a­dy) started a site that vends DIY placenta encapsulating kits and is herself an advocate of the practice. In the dearth of medical evidence, she helped anthropologists at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), find subjects for a study that looked at women's reasons for eating their placentas and the effects they reported experiencing. These may well have been what Western medicine would call placebo effects, but nonetheless provide a rare look into the mindsets of people to whom the practice makes sense. Although many proponents argue that placenta eating is natural, it doesn't appear to be something humans used to do before "society" interfered and deemed it gross. A historical review found "scant evidence" for the practice. Its author, William Ober, allowed that placenta may have been credited with some medical properties throughout human history, but wrote that most instances of its ingestion were probably due to extreme circumstances, like famine. He could conclude only that "given sufficient motivation, mankind will eat anything." The authors interviewed 189 "women over the age of 18 who use the Internet and who had ingested their placenta after the birth of at least one child." Such women turned out to be overwhelmingly white, American, middle-class, college-educated home-birthers. Most reported positive effects. And in what might be the most important measure of what exactly's going on here, most said they would do it again for their next birth.

Placenta Benefits.info does highlight the placenta's cross-cultural importance. It doesn't, however, explain why the placenta, viewed as sacred by the Navajo and the ancient Egyptians, and believed to be a "second child" by the Baganda, should be ground up and consumed. 

The modern idea of mothers eating their own placentas didn't really take hold until the 1970s, when Ober reported of "a woman of the counter-culture" who tried it out after giving birth on her commune. (She and her friends, who joined in, called it "wonderfully replenishing and delicious.").A friend who is studying to be a midwife and assists with natural births has heard women speak often of the way the placenta resembles a "tree of life," and of their fascination with their bodies' ability not just to create a new human being, but also an entire organ dedicated to protecting and sustaining that life. 

The most frequent belief cited by the women in the UNLV study was that it would improve their mood, followed by "general, but unspecified, benefits." They reported experiencing a wide range of perceived benefits, mostly "improved mood," but also "improved lactation" and "balance." Close to 70 percent of the women had no negative effects to report, although some experienced headaches and "unpleasant belching." Other negatives: it caused a rash on the baby; it worsened hot flashes, cramping, bleeding, and constipation; "social stigma." Seventy-five percent of women, though, said it had been a "very positive experience."

"I felt almost immediate relief after my first 'smoothie,'" said one. Said another, "My family could always tell if I hadn't taken the placenta pills that day!"

Again, while there's no evidence that eating placenta causes harm, there's also little to suggest it does any good -- and some anecdotal evidence is less effusive than that gathered by Selander. On The New York Times "Motherlode," Nancy Redd wrote of how she became an unlikely participant in the practice: "I've spent my career helping young women to avoid scams and misperceptions that prey on their body insecurities, and I pride myself on thorough research and general common sense." Yet "shaken" by impending motherhood, she took pills containing dried placenta mixed with "cleansing herbs." Her experience, characterized by a weird, jittery feeling and a "tabloid-worthy meltdown," was far from ideal. "I am disappointed in myself for letting fear and insecurity cause me to make a potentially dangerous decision without doing due diligence on its safety," she ended up concluding. Until more research is done, important questions will remain: Is eating one's placenta actually beneficial/harmful?Attributing a bad mood to her ingested placenta might have been just as uncircumspect as taking the pills in the first place, but we really don't know enough to judge the outcome of her or anyone else's experience. And while some may end up regretting they tried it, if only because placenta burps seem extremely unpleasant, there are stranger thingsthey could do with their placenta. read here.

GOD HEARS YOUR PRAYER

When Jesus heard them, he stopped and called, "What do you want me to do for you? - Matthew 20:32

David may have been sitting out in a pasture one night, taking in all the glory of God's creation, when he wrote, "O Lord, what are human beings that you should notice them, mere mortals that you should think about them?" (Psalm 144:3).

That is a good question. Why would God care about us? We may not know why, but we know that He does. If it concerns us, it concerns Him. If it is a burden to us, then, in effect, it is a burden to Him that He wants to deal with and resolve.

We see this illustrated in the life of Jesus. He was on His way to Jerusalem to die on a cross. His heart was heavy. He had just told His disciples that He would be crucified. He knew the end was near. Yet He went out of His way and took time for two blind men who had a great need.

The Bible tells us they were sitting by the road outside of Jericho when they heard Jesus was passing by. So they began to cry out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"

People tried to quiet them down, but that made them even more determined to get His attention. So Jesus stopped and called out to them, "What do you want me to do for you?" They told Him, "Lord, we want to see!"

The Bible tells us that Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes, and immediately they could see. This is a reminder that God is never too busy for us.

We may think God has so many things to handle in the universe, and He does. But we are His children, and He always has time to hear our prayers.

Prayer: Father, I praise You, for You are the God who answers prayer.

These processes contribute to losing weight very fast.

Lemons are abundant with vitamin C which on other side is inversely related to your body mass. High amount of vitamin C in the organism helps to activate a series of chemical reactions that will burn down the excess fat for use as energy.

Cinnamon can impact the most problematic area for many people – abdominal fat. Cinnamon burns the abdominal fat more effectively than fat found in other parts of your body. Cinnamon controls the insulin levels in our body; it has unique capacity to imitate the activity of insulin in the body, in that way regulates the blood sugar levels.Horseradish is very beneficial when it is consumed along with fatty foods because it stimulates digestion. Horseradish cleans the organism, boosts the metabolism, eliminates fatty deposits, so it is often recommended to diabetics. It also stimulates the creation and development of useful bacteria in the intestine.

THE POWER OF PRAYER

Yet regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O LORD my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You. - 2 Chronicles 6:19

Faith is released through prayer. Prayer is like pressing on the accelerator of a car. Normally, there are several processes for starting a car.

First, you have to ensure that the car is in good working condition. Then you must sit in the car, turn on the ignition, and release the hand brake.

All of these steps are important but they do not move the car. To move the car, the driver must step on the accelerator pedal. That is what prayer is like.

After we have taken time to identify the promises of God, build our faith and conquer our fears, we must now release God's power through prayer.

The moment we frame the desires of our hearts and send them forth through a request to the Lord, we set a whole process in motion. That process goes through several phases from the time the prayers leaves your thoughts or your mouth.

In time, if you do not nullify the effect of that process, you will receive a response from the Lord. Prayer can be said in our thoughts or out of our mouths.

You can pray in your thoughts all the time and under all kinds of situations — in the office, classroom, bus or airplane. Even while before an interview panel, you can send strong petitions to heaven.

However, prayer is most often said verbally. When you pray out loud, you hear yourself which reaffirms your faith. Because faith comes by hearing the word, when you pray aloud, you recharge your faith and create an atmosphere of power.

Prayer: Lord, let my prayer before You be powerful and effective.
