Joy of the Lord is My Strength

I have been feeling discouraged and have a downcast spirit at the moment. I feel drained of all my energy, like it has been zapped from me. God is good and He is my strong tower, my fortress, my ever-present help in trouble. He is my deliverer, my strong tower, my every breath belongs to Him.

When life seems impossible, God makes it possible. Our strength comes from the Joy of the Lord and the Hope we have in Him.

The days of discouragement, and downcast spirit that can drained your every breath, can be overwhelming and all consuming.

This week I had a counselor tell me that I should take an psycho-analysis test, because I see spirits and talk to them. She said, she would continue to insist I take this test, but it has to be willingly. I told her, "That is o.k. I am fine, there is absolutely nothing wrong with me. And I do not understand why, as a Christian believer you would insist upon such a test. I do not understand why you do not believe in the spiritual world that surrounds us, but anyway, thank you for the suggestion, but I will pass."

These overwhelming emotions are my own, not someone or something oppressing me. My guardian angels protect me and have been instructed by God to watch out for me. I called upon the Lord and He sent his protecters/watchers to me in my time of need.

My husband who is also a Christian, hasn't said anything, but I know that he doubts my abilities and spiritual insight. He worries about me, but doesn't have a clue as the the depth of my ability to see and hear spirit-beings around me.

The war-zone is all around me, on a daily basis. I cannot even go to lunch with my friends without something happening. I went to lunch with a few friends today, and something tried to get on me. All of a sudden I felt, this shakiness come upon me like, It felt like I was low on sugar or something. I knew my sugar was not low, nor was it too high. I demanded the thing to leave me. I just wanted to scream, "Get the Hell off of me." This was a 5-7 minute episode that transpired, but the thing left me, when I demanded in the name of Jesus leave me now. Then I felt fine, I was not shaky but my normal self again.

My husband, said it correctly, "Your spirit is fighting the forces of negative spirits" Uhm, that made sense, and he said it off the wall. He didn't make any other remarks besides that.

He is exactly right though, I am so intuned with my spirit that I can tell when something is trying to get on me. It is a constant battle I am fighting.

God give me the strength to deal with this, I ran across this scripture.

Isaiah 30:15

"In repentence and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength"

I have been mediating on this scripture. "In repentence (ask for forgiveness) and rest (be relieved and peaceful) is your salvation (I will/have saved you), In quietness (be still and know I am God) and trust (trust in me) is your strength (and I will give you the strength you need to endure).

Spiritual Gift of Discernment

There are many gifts but the same Spirit for those that are in Christ. If you confess in your heart that Jesus Christ died for all mankind (and You), rose from the dead three days later, ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand thrown of God and fully believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior then you have the gift of the Holy Spirit residing within your heart and your life. Jesus Christ is the most wonderful, all-consuming, all powerful, King of Kings Lord of Lords who has already destroyed the enemy of evil. The Book has already been written from beginning to end, we just happen to be in the middle of the pages living our individual stories.

Through this revelation of many spiritual gifts that God distributed upon the departure of Jesus Christ resides one that is very useful for every Christian because without this gift, you would not automatically know things. I believe Christians have the ability of discernment, which is the ability to know things. However, many people do not cultivate this ability of knowing but push it to the way side.

Have you ever been in a store and just knew that you must leave immediately?

Have you ever had a sense of urgency and knew exactly what to do?

Have you sensed a presence around you that radiated anger or love?

Have you sensed emotions of other people, or emotions when people were not around that were not yours?

These are your spirit being in tuned with the Spirit of God, and your ability to discern things, emotions, good, bad, evil, or just an awareness of something is changing.

When you serve our Heavenly Father, He wants you to have the tools you need to live within this world in awareness, not in ignorance of Him or the spiritual realm. You go into battle on a daily basis and that battle is with the world and against the spiritual realm around you. It amazes me how many Christian believers live in ignorance and have been deceived by lying spirits into believing gifts such as discernment are occult related, not if you believe in your Heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord. All the gifts God distributes is given for the common good and for everyone's benefit, it is up to the person to keep their eyes fixed and focused on Jesus Christ so the gift isn't distorted.

Many churches and individuals speak of good and evil, and good and evil forces but are not conscience of their existence, it seems to be a myth to them, and they want to live in Happy Ever After Land, where there are no orge's, monsters, beast,ect. but that time isn't now... Jesus hasn't returned to us, but He has given us the tools to stand firm and stand strong with.

Discernment is the ability of knowing specific things, without a shadow of a doubt. (Chastity's definition)


Concerning Spiritual Gifts 1 Corinthians 12:1-11

"There are different kinds of (spiritual) gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work"

Now to each on the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinquishing between spirits(discernment), to another speaking in different kinds of tongues (talking in tongue. All these are the work of the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines."

Humble Service in the Body of Christ Romans 12:3-8

For by the grace given me I say to everyone one of you; Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgement. In accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace (faith) given to us. IF your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; If it is to encourage, then encourage; if it is giving, then give generously; if is to to lead; do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

RECOGNIZE THE SPIRIT 1 John 4:2-

"This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: EVERY SPIRIT that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. That would be the Spirit of the Antichrist (satan, devil, demons)"


There are many gifts that the Spirit of God distributed and He distributes gifts according to your FAITH.

If you have a gift then study that gift, cultivate that gift and let God use you for the purpose of that gift according to His Will and Purpose for your life... God Bless You and keep you all the days of your life...

MY AUNTS FUNERAL

Last night I attended a candle vigil for my aunt whom passed away a week or so ago. My sisters and I were conversing at the corner of the parking lot. This vigil was in a rundown part of the city, that is full of corruption and shootings. I was worried about the area where we were located because of the high crime and area shootings.

My majority of my family are not Christian's, however, my sisters and I are strong believers in Christ Jesus.

I have an estranged disconnection from my father whom is an athiest and willingly admits his belief in no God. While I was standing next to my father, I became very angry and beligerent towards him, and I had to move away, I moved 10 feet or so to the outer circle of the people around me and I calmed down. I wasn't completely peaceful but I was calmer than before.

After I spoke to my sisters a few minutes, I seen something out of the corner of my eye fly by use, at head level. It was a black shadow. I then told my sisters, "Pray before you leave!." They started wondering why I would say such a thing, "Just do it." I replied. Then I decided to pray with them. I took both of my sisters to the side of the building, and blessed each of them with anointing oil, and pray with them. Immediately, upon praying with them, I felt a rush of energy slam into me, then dissipate and a calmness came over all three of us. It was very peaceful and serene at that moment.

We continued with the vigil with a pastor praying with the group and a few words spoken regarding my aunts life. While the preacher was praying there was a black figure standing in the shadow across the parking lot, near bushes that were up against the building. My sisters and I all three seen the shadowy figure, which I would say, was my aunt.

After the service, I asked my cousin, "I would like to invite you to my church, I attend Bethel Worship Center across town?" At that exact moment when I asked her if she wanted to attend church with us, the collegue she had made, and candles sitting across the distance, flew from the stand they were on. The gust of wind dissipated after that and there was dead silence.

My sisters and I preceded to leave the vigil and get into our cars. I told my sisters I would like to pray with them again before we leave, so nothing will be attached to them or their vehicle when they left. I prayed with them, and my younger sister heard, "How Dare You!" plain as day, she heard this statement.

I preceded to leave and got in my van, with my younger sister in the passenger seat. I felt the presence without seeing it, and said, "Your not welcome here." I heard a distinctive voice say, "You bitch!" I was astounded, "She just called me a bitch." I was shocked. My sister and I preceded to leave and return home.

So when we die, where does our spirit go? Our bodies which are vessels decay like dead flowers, but our spirit is eternal. Many people believe our spirits are in a resting place to be judged? Many believe once your dead your dead and there is nothing left? Many believe that once you die you are judged to heaven or hell? The question remains, what truly happens??

Obviously, my aunt is holding on to something and has not been judged yet, nor is she resting, nor is she in heaven or hell??

The mysterious of God's plans for eternal life can be question, but I would like to know the truth. God's Truth, God's Purpose, God's Plan, God, ultimate design for mankind, body, mind, spirit, and soul.

"In Between"

Trying to understand and comprehend what is transpiring around me in the "In Between" can be discerning and quite disturbing at times. I am gong to call it the "In Between" because that is the only way to understand this. The "In Between" is the space between matter that has not atom structure to build on and it would be considered the spiritual realm.

It is like looking across the room through the air between walls. The air we breath is needed and necessary for survival yet the air "in between" is occupied by spiritual entities. Yes, you can say, this woman is out of her mind and needs medical attention! but No, I know exactly what it is. Describing this phenomenon is easier said then done. Remember Revelations when John was trying to describe things and couldn't put words on it, just described the scene as he saw it, that is exactly what I am doing. Throughout history this has occurred where people tried to describe things they had never seen so they did the best they could to be understood by the reader.

The "in between" is the atmosphere surrounding you. This atmosphere can be dark or light, based upon the room lighting and settings. The shadows that you see with a flick of they eye that you refuse to acknowledge normally is something real. The entities hide in dark closets, dark rooms, dark shadows, and dark area's along with hiding within or around a person. Have you ever felt that sudden urge of anger, resentment, bitterness, frustration, ect, and not know where it came from. Well, nine times out of ten it came from a spirit that has oppressed you. Oppressed means to cover someone. That entity wraps itself around you and no one can see it. Through the Holy Spirit though you can feel the heaviness surrounding you and demand it to leave.

The most powerful words alive, "I demand you in the name of Jesus Christ to leave my presence. I acknowledge your presence and refuse to allow you to oppress me. I rebuke you in the name of Jesus, through the power of the blood of the Lamb, I demand you to leave my presence and not return. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy spirit, Amen"...

Repeat as needed, Sometimes you have to repeat this three times before you feel the presence leave you..

God's words are active, and sharper than a two-edge sword and can penetrate bone and marrow. God is good!!

Do not be afraid, because they can feed on your fear. Squash that idea from your intellect and mind. Have faith and believe in the name of Jesus, the most powerful name alive.

The area of the "in between" can be visible to you or invisible but with the ability of discernment you can acknowledge this heaviness that is not visible. The more of Christ Jesus you have in you, the more you can distinguish such things. Thank God for the gifts of the Spirit, for Jesus did not leave us nor forsake us, but sent the comforter to guide us...


God Bless You and Keep You, Guide lead you and Guide you to Freedom and Victory in Him!
