"Tortured By The Truth"

[5] Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones. [6] When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. [7] He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!”

[8] For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!"

 Mark 5:5-8 NIV

Why is it we sometimes feel tortured by the truth?

Is it because we really don't want to accept that that's what it is?

Jesus spoke the truth to a man who had been struggling with the side effects of a demonic spirit....

But instead of feeling relieved that the truth was finally out. It was received as torture.

Beloved, God is not trying to torture you with the truth. Deep down you know that what you heard the Holy Spirit say to you in prayer was to put an end to "that thing" you've been struggling with.

You said, You want to be delivered. You said, You don't want to carry that thing, that same struggle into 2025, but the moment you feel that fast breaking your flesh- you get weak, you get weary and you give up.

But didn't the bible say,

It would take prayer & fasting for some things to come out!!

Matthew 17:21 NKJV

Don't give up!!

Deliverance is the breaking of your flesh because it was your flesh that desired that thing, desired that person, desired that substance etc. 

SOMEBODY:

God said,

In order to heal your mind...

He's going to have to break your heart. That's the only way you will get delivered for that person once and for all and get back on track.

It may sound harsh and feel like torture to you, but really it's not. There comes a time when you must trust God even though he slay you.

Remember what Job said in

Job 13:15 KJV

Stay strong in the midst of your deliverance. 🙏

Until Next Sunday.

"Honor"

[15] You could see my bones grow as my body took shape, hidden in my mother’s womb. [16] You watched my body grow there....

Psalms 139:15-16 MSG

Beloved,

It's a waste of time remembering who wasn't there for you growing up. 

Instead, Honor Your Heavenly Father...

The one who has been there from the very start.

Before you had a name, before you had a personality of your own, before you were fully formed, you were in the growing stages in your mother's womb and there was God.

God was right there, watching you grow and He's still there, watching you grow and become the person He called you to be.

He promised to never leave you nor forsake you (Deut 31:8), so don't treat Him like The One who left, who wasn't there.

In the KJV, David talks about being unperfect, but God still was there, watching over him and in the (NLT) how God is thinking about him, and how when he wakes up he's still with God.

[16] Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; And in thy book all my members were written....Psalm 139:16 KJV

[17] How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! [18] I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!

Psalm 139:17-18 NLT

Beloved, He's thinking about you and He's never left you.

So, Honor Your Heavenly Father's Presence...

It's been a good, good Father. Don't stay stuck in the past, in your childhood; HEAL...and don't let David out praise you!! 🤩

Merry Christmas!! 💜💕

Give Honor where honor is due.

Until Next Sunday.

"The Unknown Request"

[21] So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. [22] Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

Genesis 2:21-22 NKJV

Imagine waking up to the very thing you needed, the thing you didn't know you needed, but you needed it and there it was. God somehow had managed to miraculously provide you with what you needed.

That's what happened to Adam. He didn't ask for Eve, he didn't even know to ask for Eve....But God knew what he needed. And so, God brought Eve to Adam without being asked.

Beloved, 

You don't have to ask God for EVERYTHING. Like Adam, You don't even know what everything would be or look like, if you had to ask. So, don't. 

The bible talks about us not knowing in Romans 8:

 If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves....

Romans 8:26-28 MSG

Adam was so content naming the animals, making sure the animals had what they needed, to the point that (like some of you)....

Adam had no idea, he was neglecting what he needed for himself.

But God....

God in this season is answering the unknown request- that thing you need, but (perhaps) you don't even know to ask for.

The bible says,

It's going to happen BEFORE you call-before you open your mouth and say something....This is that day!!

Isaiah 65:24 KJV

Until Next Sunday.

"Help Yourself!!"

[14] After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. [15] So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. [16] He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

Luke 15:14-16 NIV

At 1st glance of the text, it may seem cruel that no one gave The Prodigal Son anything (not even the pods the pigs were eating) when he was in need.

● But sometimes God will stop people from helping you so that you can help yourself. 

● Sometimes God will stop people from helping you so you will come to Him and acknowledge Him as your source.

● Sometimes God will stop people from helping so that you can find your way home.

He has not allowed you to be favored or chosen for the promotion, for the grant, for the (Christmas) bonus you feel entitled to. SOMEBODY:

At this point, You can't even get government assistance and as frustrating as it is...

Now you know why.

Let's go back over 3 reasons why this could be happening:

1. God wants you to help yourself and stop procrastinating.

2. God wants you to come to Him and acknowledge Him as your source.

3. God wants you to find your way home (and by home, He means salvation). REPENT and get back in right standing with Him. Matt 4:17 AMPC

So, When he came to his senses....The 1st thing The Prodigal Son did was acknowledge His Father as his source of more than enough. In His Father's house the servants had food to spare (more than enough).

Luke 15:17 NIV

The 2nd thing The Prodigal Son did was he rehearsed in his head what he wanted to say and then he got up (He got himself up unassisted) and went to His Father. 

Luke 15:18-20 NIV 

And last, but not least...

He repented by finally saying to His ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

Luke 15:21 NIV

Acknowledge Him, Get Up (Unassisted) and Repent!!

Praying for you.

Until Next Sunday.

"Pull On His Anointing"

[35] While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?” [36] Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” [38] When they came to the home of (Jairus) the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. [39] He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.” 

Mark 5 NIV

Can you image the 1st thing Jesus sees when He comes to your house is a commotion?

That's how bible describes the atmosphere in Jairus' house....It was a commotion meaning - It was noisy and a Spirit of Confusion was in the atmosphere as they really did believe his daughter was dead.

So, Is your home noisy?

Is there some type of confusion going on in your house?

Ever wonder why things are the way they are in your house? 

It's because you're close, you're so close to receiving the miracle you need.

Jairus was so close to receiving the miracle his daughter needed.

Jesus had agreed to go home with him (See: Mark 5:22-24 NIV) and things were finally looking up for this father & daughter...

But just when his hope had been restored, just when his faith was about to yield the results he desired.

Some people came from his house (It be the people from your own house), telling him his daughter is dead. To which, Jesus said to Jairus: "Don't be afraid, just believe."

The devil will use people from your own house to wreck your mood, to crush your hope, if you allow it.

But God, He wants you to keep on believing, He wants you to not be afraid.

The Closer You Get To Him, the closer you are to the miracle you're seeking. It's not a bother.

It was not a bother for Jesus to have Jairus there, pulling on His anointing and the woman with the issue of blood there, pulling on His anointing UNTIL virtue- healing power left His body when she touched his garment.(Mark 5:30 KJV)

So, Keep pulling in prayer...

You're not bothering Him.

You're only bothering Him when you give up.

Until Next Sunday.
