He Has Risen! Truly, He Has Risen!!!! (4.4.21)
Faith Believers,
He has Risen! Truly He has Risen!!
Our Savior has risen!
This Easter day, the resurrection of Jesus reminds us that GOD makes all things new. Through His Death, Jesus has given us the same resurrection power to live free from sin and death and to have a life that reflect His Love for us! While it is easy to forget the real reason for this holiday, let us take a moment to put aside the Easter bunny, Easter egg hunts, and baskets filled with goodies; and remember the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ and His Resurrection.

~ Prayer ~
Dear God,
Thank You that You make all things new.
Thank You for the Victory and Power that I Have in in Your Name.
Thank You that You hold the keys over death, Father God; and that, by your might, Jesus was raised from the tomb, paving the way for us to have a new life with You. As I confess my need for You in my life, I ask that You renew my heart, my mind, and my life; so that I can fully serve You in the way You intended.
Father, I pray for a fresh anointing over me and my family. Lord, You are Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end of all things; and I worship You. There is nothing on this earth You do not have control over.
Father, give me the power to be obedient to Your Word, by sending Your Holy Spirit to live within me.
And when the enemy attempts to remind me of "where I have been," "the challenges I have faced, and sometimes struggle with," hissing his lies and launching attacks against me and my loved ones; You Promised that Your Voice will speak louder and stronger, if we would just listen for Your Voice. Your Voice reminding us that we are safe with You and that Your Purposes and Plans will not fail.
I ask, Dear Father, that You be My Defense and My Rear Guard, by removing obstacles, and covering any and all pitfalls that the enemy has placed in my path.
Father, I pray this prayer in the Mighty Name
of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen!

Come Closer to Me Child.... And Do Not Worry. (4.3.21)
I See that some of you are anxious and worried.
Why is this when you have Me?
Don’t you know that all things are in My Hands?
I Know everything that you have endured.
I Know how you chose to stay with Me, even
when it felt like - at times - it was easier for
you to walk away.
Come to Me and tell Me what troubles you so much. I Am watching over you and walking with you. Always. And at all times. Even though some of you think that I Am not there; and many of you know and feel My Presence with you. Walking. Watching. Talking. Protecting.
My Beloved Child.
I Would never leave you nor forsake you.
And that is My Promise.
I Shall lift the heaviness.
Then I Shall restore, strengthen, and heal you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Come to Me now. Allow Me to release all that is weighing so heavily on your mind. All good and perfect gifts are from My Hands, and I Shall not withhold anything good from you.
All you have to do is ask.
My Heavenly Treasures are waiting for you.
Come, and I Will refresh you.
My Child, let Me pour My Refreshing
Holy Spirit over your weary soul.
Why worry when I Am in your presence?
Have faith in Me.
Trust Me to deliver you.
Come closer. Do not worry. Feel the refreshing coming over you, bringing peace in the midst of the storm. Come closer and do not worry anymore.
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for always being with me and being my strength when I am weak. You are my Rock when I need a place to lay my weary head.
I thank You Lord, for staying close to me and drawing me nearer to you.
Thank you for pouring a fresh anointing over my life.
Lord, I bless Your Holy Name, for You are more than worthy to be praised!
In the Mighty Name of Your Son Jesus, I pray,
Amen

#ScriptureReflection - John 18:1 - 19:42 (4.2.21)
to where there was a garden,
into which he and his disciples entered.
Judas his betrayer also knew the place,
because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
So Judas got a band of soldiers and guards
from the chief priests and the Pharisees
and went there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen to him,
went out and said to them, “Whom are you looking for?”
They answered him, “Jesus the Nazorean.”
He said to them, “I AM.”
Judas his betrayer was also with them.
When he said to them, “I AM, “
they turned away and fell to the ground.
So he again asked them,
“Whom are you looking for?”
They said, “Jesus the Nazorean.”
Jesus answered,
“I told you that I AM.
So if you are looking for me, let these men go.”
This was to fulfill what he had said,
“I have not lost any of those you gave me.”
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it,
struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear.
The slave’s name was Malchus.
Jesus said to Peter,
“Put your sword into its scabbard.
Shall I not drink the cup that the Father gave me?”
So the band of soldiers, the tribune, and the Jewish guards seized Jesus,
bound him, and brought him to Annas first.
He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas,
who was high priest that year.
It was Caiaphas who had counseled the Jews
that it was better that one man should die rather than the people.
Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus.
Now the other disciple was known to the high priest,
and he entered the courtyard of the high priest with Jesus.
But Peter stood at the gate outside.
So the other disciple, the acquaintance of the high priest,
went out and spoke to the gatekeeper and brought Peter in.
Then the maid who was the gatekeeper said to Peter,
“You are not one of this man’s disciples, are you?”
He said, “I am not.”
Now the slaves and the guards were standing around a charcoal fire
that they had made, because it was cold,
and were warming themselves.
Peter was also standing there keeping warm.
The high priest questioned Jesus
about his disciples and about his doctrine.
Jesus answered him,
“I have spoken publicly to the world.
I have always taught in a synagogue
or in the temple area where all the Jews gather,
and in secret I have said nothing. Why ask me?
Ask those who heard me what I said to them.
They know what I said.”
When he had said this,
one of the temple guards standing there struck Jesus and said,
“Is this the way you answer the high priest?”
Jesus answered him,
“If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong;
but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?”
Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
Now Simon Peter was standing there keeping warm.
And they said to him,
“You are not one of his disciples, are you?”
He denied it and said,
“I am not.”
One of the slaves of the high priest,
a relative of the one whose ear Peter had cut off, said,
“Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”
Again Peter denied it.
And immediately the cock crowed.
Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium.
It was morning.
And they themselves did not enter the praetorium,
in order not to be defiled so that they could eat the Passover.
So Pilate came out to them and said,
“What charge do you bring against this man?”
They answered and said to him,
“If he were not a criminal,
we would not have handed him over to you.”
At this, Pilate said to them,
“Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.”
The Jews answered him,
“We do not have the right to execute anyone,“
in order that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled
that he said indicating the kind of death he would die.
So Pilate went back into the praetorium
and summoned Jesus and said to him,
“Are you the King of the Jews?”
Jesus answered,
“Do you say this on your own
or have others told you about me?”
Pilate answered,
“I am not a Jew, am I?
Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me.
What have you done?”
Jesus answered,
“My kingdom does not belong to this world.
If my kingdom did belong to this world,
my attendants would be fighting
to keep me from being handed over to the Jews.
But as it is, my kingdom is not here.”
So Pilate said to him,
“Then you are a king?”
Jesus answered,
“You say I am a king.
For this I was born and for this I came into the world,
to testify to the truth.
Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”
When he had said this,
he again went out to the Jews and said to them,
“I find no guilt in him.
But you have a custom that I release one prisoner to you at Passover.
Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
They cried out again,
“Not this one but Barabbas!”
Now Barabbas was a revolutionary.
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged.
And the soldiers wove a crown out of thorns and placed it on his head,
and clothed him in a purple cloak,
and they came to him and said,
“Hail, King of the Jews!”
And they struck him repeatedly.
Once more Pilate went out and said to them,
“Look, I am bringing him out to you,
so that you may know that I find no guilt in him.”
So Jesus came out,
wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cloak.
And he said to them, “Behold, the man!”
When the chief priests and the guards saw him they cried out,
“Crucify him, crucify him!”
Pilate said to them,
“Take him yourselves and crucify him.
I find no guilt in him.”
The Jews answered,
“We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die,
because he made himself the Son of God.”
Now when Pilate heard this statement,
he became even more afraid,
and went back into the praetorium and said to Jesus,
“Where are you from?”
Jesus did not answer him.
So Pilate said to him,
“Do you not speak to me?
Do you not know that I have power to release you
and I have power to crucify you?”
Jesus answered him,
“You would have no power over me
if it had not been given to you from above.
For this reason the one who handed me over to you
has the greater sin.”
Consequently, Pilate tried to release him; but the Jews cried out,
“If you release him, you are not a Friend of Caesar.
Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.”
When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus out
and seated him on the judge’s bench
in the place called Stone Pavement, in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
It was preparation day for Passover, and it was about noon.
And he said to the Jews,
“Behold, your king!”
They cried out,
“Take him away, take him away! Crucify him!”
Pilate said to them,
“Shall I crucify your king?”
The chief priests answered,
“We have no king but Caesar.”
Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.
So they took Jesus, and, carrying the cross himself,
he went out to what is called the Place of the Skull,
in Hebrew, Golgotha.
There they crucified him, and with him two others,
one on either side, with Jesus in the middle.
Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the cross.
It read,
“Jesus the Nazorean, the King of the Jews.”
Now many of the Jews read this inscription,
because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city;
and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
So the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate,
“Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’
but that he said, ‘I am the King of the Jews’.”
Pilate answered,
“What I have written, I have written.”
When the soldiers had crucified Jesus,
they took his clothes and divided them into four shares,
a share for each soldier.
They also took his tunic, but the tunic was seamless,
woven in one piece from the top down.
So they said to one another,
“Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it will be, “
in order that the passage of Scripture might be fulfilled that says:
They divided my garments among them,
and for my vesture they cast lots.
This is what the soldiers did.
Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother
and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas,
and Mary of Magdala.
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved
he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.”
Then he said to the disciple,
“Behold, your mother.”
And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
After this, aware that everything was now finished,
in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled,
Jesus said, “I thirst.”
There was a vessel filled with common wine.
So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop
and put it up to his mouth.
When Jesus had taken the wine, he said,
“It is finished.”
And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.
Now since it was preparation day,
in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath,
for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one,
the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken
and that they be taken down.
So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first
and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus.
But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead,
they did not break his legs,
but one soldier thrust his lance into his side,
and immediately blood and water flowed out.
An eyewitness has testified, and his testimony is true;
he knows that he is speaking the truth,
so that you also may come to believe.
For this happened so that the Scripture passage might be fulfilled:
Not a bone of it will be broken.
And again another passage says:
They will look upon him whom they have pierced.
After this, Joseph of Arimathea,
secretly a disciple of Jesus for fear of the Jews,
asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus.
And Pilate permitted it.
So he came and took his body.
Nicodemus, the one who had first come to him at night,
also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes
weighing about one hundred pounds.
They took the body of Jesus
and bound it with burial cloths along with the spices,
according to the Jewish burial custom.
Now in the place where he had been crucified there was a garden,
and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had yet been buried.
So they laid Jesus there because of the Jewish preparation day;
for the tomb was close by.

Fear Not. The Lord Is Your Strength. The Lord Will Help You to Overcome. Fill Your Heart & Mind with God's Word. For All God's Promises are Yes & Amen... (3.31.21)
I See those things that are looming before some of you.
I Know that some of you are doing your best to be strong,
but you feel weak and unable to cope, and now your
heart is troubled.
Please do not become overwhelmed by the circumstances facing you. Fear not, nor be dismayed, any longer. I Am your strength, and I Will help you to overcome. Stand strong in Me, The Lord your God, and shake thyself loose.
And stop allowing thoughts of defeat, sorrow and helplessness to hinder you from hearing My Voice. Stop allowing the cares of the world to pull you away from Me.
Believe this, and let nothing take My Plans and Purpose
away from you.
Go forth in the strength which I Have provided.
Have faith and trust in Me.
And I Will cause you, not only to endure;
but I Will cause you to succeed.
I Am your strength.
I Am your peace, amid the storms.
All you have to do is shake yourself loose.
Read and Meditate on God's Word

Give Your Worries to the Lord (3.30.21)
Yes. This is the season of expectation.
However, some of My Father's Children have stopped expecting to receive, because of the struggles in their lives.
What if Moses stopped expecting My Father to perform
miracles for him?
What if Joseph stopped expecting his dreams to come
to pass?
What if someone had stopped praying and expecting you
to be saved from the hands of the enemy?
And what if I had given up on My Father hearing My Prayers,
and sending His Angels to minister to Me, so that I Could
make it to The Cross?
I Came down, walked amongst you, died for you, rose from the dead, returned to My Father and sent Our Holy Spirit back down to earth; so that you could do greater things. And I Said as much... Did you BELIEVE Me? My Word is Truth. “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. - John 14:12 The Works I Did, you will also do. As well as greater works than what I Did. However, greater things won’t happen if you don’t believe and expect them to happen. Beloved, do not be a "ye of little faith," but be a "doer and hearer of The Word."
Oh, that you would believe again.
Oh, that you would believe in Me the way you
believe in the problems which plague your soul.
Oh, that you would believe in Me, the way you
believe and give attention to the things of this world.
Oh, magnify My Name!
Lift up My Name in praise!
I Am searching for the ones who are willing to step out - on unshakable faith - and allow Me to work miracles through them. For I Am Sending revival fire throughout the land.
Oh, lift up your voice!
Sing a new song this day!
Sing a song of praise!
It is time for My People to embrace My Truth and proclaim it, for this is a season of expectation and obeying My Voice. I Am Christ Jesus, the doer of miracles, The Son of God, and I changeth not.
So, if My People, who are called by My Name, will let go of their problems.
If My People, who are called by My Name, will believe in My Word.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. - 2 Chronicles 7:14.
If My People, who are called by My Name, would walk by faith.
And if My People, who are called by My Name, would expect to see miracles to happen, then they will happen.
For I Am alive and moving through those, called by My Name.

#ScriptureReflection - Isaiah 49:1-13 (3.29.21)
Expiation of Sin, Spiritual Liberation of Israel
The Servant of the Lord
1 Hear me, coastlands,
listen, distant peoples.
Before birth the Lord called me,
from my mother’s womb he gave me my name.
2 He made my mouth like a sharp-edged sword,
concealed me, shielded by his hand.
He made me a sharpened arrow,
in his quiver he hid me.
3 He said to me, You are my servant,
in you, Israel, I show my glory.
4 Though I thought I had toiled in vain,
for nothing and for naught spent my strength,
Yet my right is with the Lord,
my recompense is with my God.
5 For now the Lord has spoken
who formed me as his servant from the womb,
That Jacob may be brought back to him
and Israel gathered to him;
I am honored in the sight of the Lord,
and my God is now my strength!
6 It is too little, he says, for you to be my servant,
to raise up the tribes of Jacob,
and restore the survivors of Israel;
I will make you a light to the nations,
that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.
7 Thus says the Lord,
the redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,
To the one despised, abhorred by the nations,
the slave of rulers:
When kings see you, they shall stand up,
and princes shall bow down
Because of the Lord who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel who has chosen you.
The Liberation and Restoration of Zion
8 Thus says the Lord:
In a time of favor I answer you,
on the day of salvation I help you;
I form you and set you
as a covenant for the people,
To restore the land
and allot the devastated heritages,
9 To say to the prisoners: Come out!
To those in darkness: Show yourselves!
Along the roadways they shall find pasture,
on every barren height shall their pastures be.
10 They shall not hunger or thirst;
nor shall scorching wind or sun strike them;
For he who pities them leads them
and guides them beside springs of water.
11 I will turn all my mountains into roadway,
and make my highways level.
12 See, these shall come from afar:
some from the north and the west,
others from the land of Syene.
13 Sing out, heavens, and rejoice, earth,
break forth into song, you mountains,
For the Lord comforts his people
and shows mercy to his afflicted.

From Jerusalem, B.C. to Your House, 2021; from the First Palm Sunday to To-Day - Our God is The God of Second Chances (3.28.21)
will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be
preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”
- LUKE 24:46-47
Faith Believers!
“Beginning at Jerusalem.”
These three amazing words tell us so much about the love and grace of our great Savior, Jesus Christ.
You
know the story. Jesus came to His own, but they did not receive Him. He was
despised and rejected, and they hid our faces from Him and held Him in
low esteem (Isaiah 53:3.)
What
about you, friend?
All of you have heard the story.
But some of you, too many of you, have been rejecting Jesus so
long. Maybe some of you think it’s too late for you. Know this and know it well - it is never ever too late to
fully give your life to Jesus Christ.
Fully give your life to Jesus
today.
For He died for you and He Loves you.
Thank Jesus often, and Praise GOD always,
for His Forgiveness, for His Perfect Love
and His Perfect Peace.
Lord Jesus,
Forgive me for treating You so badly.
Thank you for dying for me.
I do not deserve anything good from You.
And yet, You have become everything for me.
Thank you for Your Great Love to undeserving
sinners like me!
Forgive me, Lord; as I fully give my life
to You, this day.
I pray this prayer in Your Mighty Name
Amen

#ScriptureReflection - Isaiah 65:1-3 (3.27.21)
I said: Here I am! Here I am!
To a nation that did not call upon my name.
I have stretched out my hands all the day
to a rebellious people,
Who walk in evil paths
and follow their own thoughts,
People who provoke me
continually, to my face.
