It is no longer I who live, but the Holy Spirit who lives in me Galatian @:20

Some time ago, the Lord asked me a question. He said, “Why do people, during war, rub blood on their faces and bodies?”

I thought about it and responded, “They do it to appear dead—to escape being attacked.”

Then my mind went to the Israelites in the Book of Exodus, when they were instructed to put blood on their doorposts. The blood was a sign—so that when the Lord passed through, He would see it and pass over them. It marked them as His own.

This brought a deeper understanding: if by the blood of the covenant I am saved, set free, and delivered—if it is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me and I in him—then why should I become troubled when situations of life try to weigh me down?

God never promised that challenges would not come. If that were the case, He wouldn’t have said in Book of Psalms 23 that He prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies.

Being dead and alive in Christ means that daily, you yield yourself to His authority and His government over your life. It means dying daily in surrender and living fully in obedience to Him.

So the next time trouble or disease tries to steal your joy, speak to it boldly:
“It is no longer I who live, but the Holy Spirit who lives in me.”

Graced for This Moment

 What if God’s plan isn't to take us out of a situation in a flash, but rather to walk with us through the journey of it?

I recently read the biography of a famous actress who overcame a dehumanizing childhood filled with poverty. There was a specific moment when, after witnessing her mother being abused, she ran into the kitchen and cried out to God to rescue her if He truly loved her.

So often, this is our prayer. When we feel stuck, we want to wish the situation away instantly. We want the pain to end "in the blink of an eye." But how can we truly understand that "all things work together for the good of those who love God" if we only ever seek to escape the process?

God doesn't want us to suffer just so He can say, "I told you that you couldn't make it without Me." Instead, He wants us to learn to trust Him in every circumstance. Whether it is a project He has whispered for us to start, a relationship He has asked us to surrender, or a new season He is calling us into—He asks us to keep our eyes fixed on Him.

The Promise of Fullness

Look at the promise in John 3:34:

"The one whom God has sent speaks God's words, because God gives him the fullness of his Spirit." (GNB)

There is sufficient grace for every situation we face. As long as we choose to align with God’s way and listen to His voice, He reassures us: "I know, my daughter, that you want this to end. I know, my son, that you feel you shouldn't be at this point. But because this is a journey, I will walk you through it so you do not grow weary."

You Are Graced

You are graced for this specific moment.

You are graced to carry your seed to full term.

The doctor may have delivered a diagnosis, but you are graced to win this battle.

Rejections may have thrown you off balance, but there is a grace within you capable of carrying you safely into your next season.

We can choose alignment. We can choose to say: "God, in the moments where I am weary, let praise be my answer. Even if life tries to break my heart into pieces, life will not drain out of me—because I do this not by my own strength, but because I am graced for this moment."

As you go through your day, do not let life dictate its report to you. Instead, choose to say: "I see through the struggle, and I see that God has graced me for this moment."

Oh Give thanks to the Lord

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, and His mercies endure forever.

Whenever I think of a thanksgiving scripture, these words from the book of Chronicles stood out.

As I reflected on what to share today, I began to wonder—how many of us have paused to give thanks to the Lord today? How many of us have truly given thanks for where we are right now?

You may not be where you want to be, but you are certainly not where you used to be.

When you look at the life of King David, you will see a man who constantly faced opposition—from his father’s house to his own family. His life was marked by challenges and battles. Yet, this same David would boldly declare: “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, and His mercies endure forever.”

Beloved, understand this: being alive is a testimony.

The Bible says, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” God has kept you. That alone is reason enough to give thanks.

You may not have received everything you desire, but God is not done with you yet.

Perhaps you feel like you are in a valley—like the valley of dry bones—but even there, God is present. And today, He is calling you to give thanks.

He says, “Come into His presence with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise.”

Do not measure your life by the standards of others. Your true measure is your ability to bring God’s Kingdom here on earth and to live a life that reflects Jesus.

So today, give thanks—not just for what you have, but for who God is, and for what He is still doing in your life.

Raise your War Chant

 

Have You Discovered Your War Chant?

There are days in life when what you need is to break out in a war chant. I once had a dream where I was being chased, captured, and put into a car. Suddenly, a wind came, and I broke out in a chant in tongues. As I chanted, the wind lifted me out of that car. I woke up with that same chant, and since then, there are moments when I just break out in it again.

Beloved, you must discover your war chant. There will be days when you receive a report that does not align with what God has promised you. In those moments, dust yourself off and go to war. You don’t retreat, and you don’t break down; you break out in a chant and let God fight your battle.

2 Chronicles 20:22

“And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against their enemies…”

When you break out in a chant, you call on the Lord of Hosts to fight for you.

Some time ago, the Holy Spirit began to teach me the protocols of the altar. He revealed that singing, including chanting in the Holy Ghost, is a weapon. There are days when all you need to do is dance.

When you see demonic priests dance in service to their god, understand that they are only imitating a higher reality the protocol of God’s priests, who chant and dance before Him. They are merely copying what belongs to Elohim.

You do not need to remain in a place of accepting whatever life brings when God has already promised you deliverance and victory.

Pray and praise until your war chant rises from deep within you. Let it flow from your spirit. This adversity will only reveal God's power. The threat before you is not greater than what God has placed inside you. Even the groanings rising from within you are intercession.

Romans 8:26

“The Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”

All you need to do is rise and release your war chant.

Heaven understands the groanings of your spirit and will respond. So stand firm. Do not be intimidated or afraid.

Ephesians 6:13

“Having done all, to stand.”

Stay at the altar—your victory is certain.
