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.

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.
