The Prison of Condemnation

January 20, 2014 by Leave a Comment

Dear Child,

If you adhere to my chastisement through conviction there will be no avenue or foothold for the enemy to drown you in condemnation and rob you of the joy of your salvation. Do not give place to him, for he goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour and destroy.

Conviction is the voice of the conscience by the Holy Spirit.

Condemnation is self destructive thoughts of the mind from the enemy.

Conviction is a warning that provides a choice and healing.

Condemnation offers only hopelessness with no healing but rather an incurableness.

There is hope in Christ Jesus!

There is healing in Christ Jesus!

There is forgiveness in Christ Jesus!

There is mercy in Christ Jesus!

He came into the world NOT to condemn it but to save it.

I send conviction because I love you!

The enemy sows condemnation because he wants to destroy you!

Conviction will mature you!

Condemnation will destroy you!

Thus saith Papa

John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Challenge: If your conscience is clear before God, do not let the enemy rob you of the joy of your salvation. If there is outstanding offense on your conscience, confess it to God, that the enemy may not have a hold over you.

Walking by Faith in Your Wintery Season

January 11, 2014 by Leave a Comment

At this season of the year when the earth is blanketed in snow and ice, I am amazed as I consider the ugly tulip and daffodil bulbs that are frozen under the soil which will soon sprout and bear beautiful flowers of hope as the earth is rejuvenated during spring time. And even in the dead of winter when shivering hope appears to be frozen God gives a glimmer of hope as the snowdrops pop their heads bravely through the fallen snow. Oh the joy of seeing that first fragile yet hardy snowdrop – what a wonderful window to our souls of His desire to feed our faith to believe for brighter days. I thank God for His faithfulness in the seasons and look forward in faith to the spring.

Dear Child,

I am also faithful in the seasons of your life! Each season has its own unique beauty and purpose, the same is true with the seasons of your life. The same is true in the ministry of your life.

A time to believe in naked faith, a time to sow, a time to water and tend the potential harvest, and then a time of reward and reaping! The winter season is a time of hidden dormancy on the surface, but oh! under the surface what preparation is going on to burst to life in the spring! Be prepared for the spring! child.

Every season of your life has its own winter of faith, planting time in spring, watering time in summer, and reaping time in the fall. But this winter time of dormancy and darkness without any fruit, is when you must walk by faith and trust my hand to be working in My sovereignty under the surface, to bring beauty to your life in the spring!

You trust me with the seasons of the earth, trust me with the seasons of your life!

Thus saith Papa

Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

WINTER — The Season of FAITH

SPRING — The Season of HOPE

SUMMER —The Season of LABOR

AUTUMN — The Season of FRUITFULNESS

CHALLENGE: If you are in the season of a fruitless winter, in faith hold unto hope, don’t give up, spring is on its way, for He is faithful!

Bringing Balance to the New Year by Rightly Dividing the Word

January 6, 2014 by 1 Comment

Dear Child,

If this day is not in balance, your week, month and year will not be in balance. Meet the needs of body, soul and spirit everyday, to mature to a whole person, living not only in harmony with Me but also with yourself. If you live in harmony, you will have the peace that passes understanding. To be healthy and strong in body, soul and spirit, you need balance in all roles and responsibilities of your life. Do all things in moderation. I need a whole person.

You are a steward of all I have given you, be a good steward of all I have placed in your care. You will have time for all I want of you, if you live a balanced life, and seek first My Kingdom.

Thus saith Papa

Philippians 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men.

WHAT IS BALANCE ?

Balance brings steadiness and stability to all areas of our lives especially when we “rightly divide the Word of Truth” 2Tim.2:15. If we neglect to spend time studying and rightly dividing the Word, we will loose our balance, which could result in a fall!

The following are examples to give you some food for thought.

SOCIAL LIFE:-

Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must show himself friendly:

Proverbs 25:17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
