PSALMS 1

PSALMS 1 1   Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2   But his delight is in the law of the  Lord ; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3   And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 4   The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5   Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6  For the  Lord  knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. #RESToration #RIBGANG_P31

ISAIAH 44:25-26

 

Witches are Generous for a Reason

On 12/25, I made a prayer post to rebuke and cancel witchcraft. The following excerpt and picture gives the details of the inspiration behind it.  I was reminded of the influence of witchcraft again today. A YouTube live commended people to be aware of witches even in our family. To throw away any gifts that they may have given you and to not accept any money from them. A comment said, "witches are generous for a reason." And the Holy Spirit leaped in me! I began to pray violently. I pray we are all on guard and watchful. Even from those that we think mean us well, they can be on an assignment from hell! This is not just for family members! Counterfeits fit this description well!

ENEMIES DEFEATED IN JESUS' NAME

THE LORD GUIDES

Isaiah 48:17 Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. Isaiah 45:13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts. Psalms 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. Psalms 119:105   Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my  path. Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Isaiah 30:21   And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when y

PSALMS 91

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over the

BE PATIENT

  Hebrews 10:36-39 KJV For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, And he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: But if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. 1 Peter 5:10-11 But the God of all grace, who hath called us into eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Luke 21:19 In your patience possess ye your souls. James 1:4-8 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.  But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is

PRAISE IS COMELY

1 Praise ye the   Lord . Praise the   Lord , O my soul. 2  While I live will I praise the  Lord : I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. 3  Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4  His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. 5  Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the  Lord  his God: 6  Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: 7  Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The  Lord  looseth the prisoners: 8  The  Lord  openeth the eyes of the blind: the  Lord  raiseth them that are bowed down: the  Lord  loveth the righteous: 9  The  Lord  preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. 10  The  Lord  shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the  Lord . https://www

Even If You Don't Do It Lord

Daniel 3:17-18 If it be  so , our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver  us  out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

PROVERBS 5

1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: 2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. 3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. 6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. 7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. 8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: 9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: 10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; 11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, 12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; 13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear

PSALMS 39

1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. 2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred. 3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue, 4 Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am. 5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. 6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. 7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. 8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish. 9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it. 10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand. 11 When

PSALMS 31

1 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. 2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. 3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. 4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength. 5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. 6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the Lord. 7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; 8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room. 9 Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly. 10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consum

PSALMS 7

1 O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: 2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 3 O Lord my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; 4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) 5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. 6 Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. 7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high. 8 The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. 9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righte

THE LORD WILL REQUIRE IT

Many times in the Bible we see where evil rulers desired a certain land, position, or some sort of personal gain. And to their own demise they would conspire to steal, kill, and destroy people or nations to fulfill their evil desires. ALWAYS to their own defeat and demise. I began to read the story of Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab. How she slew all the royal heirs so that she could reign. And she did reign for a period of time. But there was one young heir that was hidden from her slaughter with his nurse, named Joash. When the time came the people anointed the young boy as king. To restore the throne back to God's people. He was only 7 years old! When Athaliah heard of the inauguration she tore her clothes and yelled, "treason, treason"....go figure! The evil daughter of evil Jezebel and evil Ahab, who killed children just so she could reign yelled treason because her evil plot didn't go as planned lol Girl bye! Lol Anywho... Back to the young King Joash. He actuall

Red Letter Encouragement

  21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.  22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.  23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give  it  you.  24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.   25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.  26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:  27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. #RESToration #RIBGANG_P31

NOW IS THE TIME

Isaiah 51:7  Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings. Revilings Defenition:  to criticize someone strongly, or say unpleasant things to or about someone.

AWAY WITH IDOLS

Written on 11/4/22: GOD is coming after ALL IDOLS Those things and people that are so blatantly put before GOD , HIS ways, and HIS face! Your spouse, your vice, your selfish-ambition, and misguided focus.

RECOVER ALL

1 Samuel 30:8 - And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. There's so many take aways and nuggets in this story of triumph and recovery. I took a lot from this story, the infamous 3 days and nights timeframe. The inquiring of the Lord before setting out to do anything. Even if it's retrieving  your own possessions. The ones that had to stay at the brook because they were too faint to fight. After just leaving a previous battle. Yet they divided the spoil just the same as the ones that went out to battle. There's rest and rewards for God's warriors. Even the Egyptian helping David find his enemies. If your ways are pleasing to the Lord, he'll make even your enemies be at peace with you. If God be for you, WHO can be against you! I pray the Lord speaks to you as you read 1 Samuel 30. Decree: I SHALL RECOVER ALL THAT THE E

GREAT DELIVERANCE

Psalms 18:17-29 17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. 18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. 19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. 20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. 23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. 24 Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. 25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; 26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward. 27 For thou wilt s

DEEP WATERS BRING DEEP REVELATION

For the past couple of days the Lord has impressed upon my heart Psalms 107. Especially verses 23 and 24, "they that go down to the sea in ships, THAT DO BUSINESS IN GREAT WATERS; these see the works of the LORD and His wonders in the deep." I don't fully comprehend the spiritual understanding of this great saying. But I'm reminded of Isaiah 43:2,   When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:  Paul also comes to mind, Acts 27:27-28:5, all that abided in the ship survived. Though the ship wrecked they came to an island named Malta, translated as honey. The strangers of the land welcomed them and showed unusual kindness to them. Paul was even bitten by a snake but he shook it off into a fire. I'm not 100% on where the Lord is taking me with this revelation, but I know it's good. It feels good! Even Bro.  Job comes to mind, who at the last of his suffering said,  I have heard of thee by the hear

GOD HEARS YOU!

God hears you! He will perform His Word and His good pleasure in your life soon! Be steadfast and unmovable! Always abounding in the work of the Lord! Stay on your post sister soldier! Keep pleading the blood of JESUS' over your marriage and your family! God honors your prayer! The expectation of the righteous is gladness! But the desire if the wicked shall perish! Even their prayers are an abomination to Him! You have the upper hand! You have the authority in Christ JESUS! Use it! Employ your spiritual weapons!  The Sword of the Spirit (The Word of God) which is sharper than any two edged sword! Fasting! For man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God! Praying! Make your requests known with Thanksgiving! Worship in Spirit and in Truth! For the Father seeketh such! Obedience! For obedience is better than sacrifice. Hope! For Hope maketh not ashamed! Hallelujah LORD JESUS! The LORD GOD omnipotent reigns! Praise the LORD of hosts for He

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS

Psalm 2:10 - Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Glory to God! I pray in JESUS' name I can give this like it was gave lol, bad grammar I know but follow me Sister! Do you see the word instructions? On this FIRE EXTINGUISHER? My God! God advises us through His Word! The Lord gives us wisdom on how to handle any situation by His Word! He instructs us on how to put those fires of the devil out! In Psalms 2, the LORD told David to be INSTRUCTED! He had people coming against him, plotting against him, seeking to cut his cord from among them! Hallelujah but the Lord said He would laugh at them! Ask of me and I'll give you the heathen for thine inheritance! That makes me think of Psalms 149:6-7, Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; to execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; God gives us instructions to be victorious! We don't have to succumb to the plots of the enemy!

TRUST GOD

God is going to show you that He is Faithful. He's going to show you that He bottles every tear and records every prayer. He watches over your prayers to perform His Word at the perfect timing. God's glory shall be revealed in this painful situation. That counterfeit will be uprooted, and your place will not be taken in JESUS' name. You will never be uprooted out of your land again!

STAND STILL

Do not engage physically or verbally, stand still and let the Lord fight the battle. Ephesians 6:11-18 11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto wit

You Have Need of Patience

  1/12/23 at 1:23a James 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. Hebrews 10:36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise . Jeremiah 32:37 Behold, I  am  the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Romans 5:2-5 2  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4  And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Romans 4:1-3 1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2  For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3  For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was c

Redirect Your Focus

Hi my fellow Ribs! When my heart is grieved and my mind is racing, I can always turn to the Rock which is higher than I. His Word always comforts me and gets me to a place of peace. It instructs me and gives me hope. The last few days have been that of reflection and I haven't had much to write. His Word says everything I can't say and more. Psalms 119:71 -  It was good for me that I was afflicted, that I may learn thy statutes. Job 42:5 -  I have heard of the by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye seeth thee. Isaiah 59:19 -  So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. Proverbs 31:10 -  Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Micah 7:10 KJV -  Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine ey
 Exodus 34:6-11 🕊️

The Lord Fights for me!

I just want to thank JEHOVAH NISSI (Exodus 17:15) for being my banner and refuge in time of war! I want to praise my HEAVENLY FATHER for protecting His children from the snares and plots of the enemy! Not only protecting us from the enemy, but allowing us to see the enemy! Even if they think they're so hidden. Our Mighty God will not let us be ignorant to the devil's devices! Even though it's human agents that we see, it is nothing more than satan using them as a puppet to tend to his evil works. Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy. He is the thief mentioned in Proverbs 6:31. It's Him that's the culprit of your adversity. The people are just pawns that need deliverance themselves. We wrestle not against flesh and blood! But against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places! (Ephesians 6:12) God Commanded Joshua to be strong and of good courage! (Joshua 1:9) Just as He was with Moses,

Necessary Heat

Just like cooking or baking, the raw ingredients turn into something that's edible and delicious.... Only after it's been heated. That dough doesn't become bread until it's put in the oven. That sugar doesn't become syrup or caramel until it's heated. Our ingredients are the same. Let's say with the gift of prophecy. The gift is there. But when a prophet goes through the fire that gift becomes sharper than an eagle eye. They can hear God clearly because they're now fine tuned to His voice.  Sometimes we ask God for this or that and it's not time for it. Especially for folding in ingredients, you have to do it slowly and in a specific order. Drys, liquids, combinations etc. You even have to come to certain consistencies before you add some ingredients.  That is if you want a beautifully finished product. Every step must be done tediously with care. The ingredients must be added in the right amount, at the right time. You can even make a cake flat afte
Prayer to renounce all Gang Affiliation. Dear Sister or Brother reading this prayer, THE LORD LOVES YOU! He wants you to be free from the chains of darkness that have held you and your loved ones for generations. The Father wants you to know that there is freedom from gang life for you! And it's not by your death. But by is His Son, JESUS CHRIST's death that you can be set free from any gang that you have joined willfully, by association, or by force. There is freedom and forgiveness for you at the Cross of Calvary. The blood of JESUS washes away all the filth and guilt of the past. You can let it go now. You can lay that heavy weight down. There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in CHRIST JESUS. The old has past, and you are made new in JESUS' holy name!

Fly, Fight, Win.

On the way home tonight I sat in the back of one of the elders in the church.  On the back of His hat, were the words, "Fly, Fight, Win" At this point I don't know if it's sheer desperation or the Holy Spirit really giving me encouragement in everything I see! It made me feel like it was okay that I left. That I was still in the fight, just fighting from a safe place, the right way. Finally, that I was still being assured the victory! Like it was a prescription for really difficult situations. Fly - Separation, sometimes there's no other choice. (Ecclesiastes 3:5) Fight - Speak the Word, have Faith, pray, worship and fast. (2 Cor 10:4) Win - Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. (Exodus 14:13-14) #RESToration

#RESToration

The LORD has been truly keeping me through my time of marital separation. It's honestly one of the hardest battles I've ever faced. On every level. But praise God He is showing me how to REST in Him and let Him fight my battles. And that He alone shall RESTore my marriage for His GLORY.  He's also been showing me that He HEARS me! Even now by giving me Hebrews 4, I know He HEARS me and SEES me.  I 've been in such an uproar about not having any communication. It's been really hard and driving me crazy. I've been asking the Lord if I could respond to my husband or text Him and I kept hearing "be still" or "stand still and see the salvation of the LORD" I told the Lord that I wasn't sure if that was just me talking or something just coming to my head by memory. And even if it was Him it wasn't enough to calm my racing mind. Not to be disrespectful in any way! I just needed more. This separation thing HURTS! But PRAISE be to GOD He gave

Wisdom Builds the House

 Isaiah 59:16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. As someone standing in the gap for their love ones with little to no contact. I beseeched the Lord on calling and talking to my Husband. For days now. He's answered me before and gave me scriptures on being quiet, hiding myself, and letting Him fight the battle. But in today's midnight worship the Holy Spirit gave me this: It's not time for that. Leave the calling off for right now. Leave the texting off for right now. It's not time for that. It's time to war in the Spirit. It's time to call on God and pull down strongholds. It's time to war in the Spirit! It's time to pay and break the chains and power of darkness. It's time to cry out to God on their behalf! (I inserted the names of my loved ones here) Call on God for your family! He hears you! He hears you! I wasn't p

Jeremiah 31:15-17 🔥

The Lord blessed me to read in the book of Jeremiah today. It was so sweet! He first showed me Jeremiah 31:16 on 12/19/22. Verse 16 really comforted me, but I didn't really get the surrounding verses until today. I pray I can glean more from these scriptures. You don't need to seek a prophet, when you can get it straight from the Source: The Word of God. Jeremiah 31:15-17 🔥 15 Thus saith the Lord; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not. 16 Thus saith the Lord; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the Lord; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. 17 And there is hope in thine end, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come again to their own border. My understanding: I found that Ramah, is a HILL in Benjamin on the border of Ephraim. According to Psalms 24:3, a hill signifies the ch

What a Mighty God We Serve

Hallelujah for the Lord God Omnipotent Reigneth!! Hallelujah, hallelujah, PRAISE THE LORD!! For HE is good and HIS mercy endures forever!! Hallelujah to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! Surely He is worthy to be praised! Transparent moment, I've been in a really bad way emotionally. But worship is my sure fire way to feel better. No matter how the day goes, I can rise at 12 am and cry out to my God! I can lift HIM up and worship HIM in the beauty of HIS Holiness and be restored! Always! I dare you to try it. On your worse day, with everything falling apart around you. Call on JESUS! Thank Him for being a very present Help in the time of trouble! Thank Him for being Emmanuel in your situation! Meaning God with us! Thank Him for being the Lord God Mighty in Battle! Thank Him for being a Strong Tower! Thank Him for being an unmatched Provider and Protector! Thank Him for being the only Wise and Living God! Thank Him for being a Way Maker! Thank Him for being Ebenezer, your Sto

Contend with Thanksgiving

Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men ( Psalm 107:31 ) Sometimes the wind can be knocked right out of our sails. Or deepest desires can fall right out the bottom of our lives. With no real warning. Just bam! Calamity and misfortune is handed with no rescue jacket in sight... It seems. This is when we must dig our hills in and remember the character and promises of God. We must lean on His Word. David said, "Though a host may encamp around me, my heart shall not fear." Jeremiah prophesied, "His thoughts towards us are for peace and not evil." Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers us out of every one. He's a good shepherd and a good Father! If we ask for bread, He won't give us a stone. Understanding His good character, helps us navigate through the lies of the enemy. Because rest assured if you're down, the devil is up to something.  Praise God, that the devil can&#
