Needless Suffering – Part 3 DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 1ST,2024 (5784)
If you are following the June 24th to September 24th dates, you have 54 days left. You can read the article under Blog on threecrossescanada.com.
Are you suffering needlessly? Are you accepting and carrying someone else’s sins? Are you sinning yourself and carrying the weight of the consequences of that sin?
What is sin? “Sexual immorality, lustful thoughts, pornography, chasing after things instead of God, manipulating others, hatred of those who get in your way, senseless arguments, Resentment when others are favored, temper tantrums, angry quarrels, only thinking of yourself, being in love with your own opinions, being envious of the blessings of others, murder, uncontrolled addictions, wild parties, and all other similar behavior.” (Galatians 5:19 – 21; TPT)
That was me. I hated alcohol, the smell of it, the look of it, and the way it made people stupid. I hungered for love, and kept myself fed with lustful thoughts, arguments and angry quarrels with my spouse and even with myself. I was always right, knew everything, resented other people who had wonderful marriages, and devalued my spouse because of his addictions. I was better than him, so I could look down on him, withhold from him and yell at him, because I wasn’t sinning like he was. But I was worse than him, because I was allowing myself to be abused, allowed myself to be taken advantage of by his ‘addictions’ and allowed my children to be abused. That millstone tied around my neck was getting heavier and heavier as the years rolled by.
I allowed myself to be taken up by my sin. It led me to places I didn’t want to go. It fed me, nourished me, helped me dig myself deeper into a pit of sin. I lied, I didn’t do my job well, I didn’t parent well, and I was bitter, envious and jealous of everything and everyone. I could have been the poster child of sin. Sin doesn’t hang on a scale of 1 to 10, God says it is all the same. Thinking about adultery is the same as physically committing adultery. Lying about taking a pencil is the same as lying about hiding alcohol. Sin is sin. I allowed myself to needlessly suffer, because I refused to do something about my sin. MY SIN! MY SIN had consequences and I had to supply the debt it caused me. Satan demands payment, and payment was taken from me whether I was willing to give it or not.
Needless Suffering – Part 4 DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 2ND,2024 (5784)
What does God offer that Satan doesn’t? Galatians 5:22 says, “But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions. Joy that overflows, peace that subdues, patience that endures, kindness in action, a life full of virtue, faith that prevails, gentleness of heart, and strength of spirit.” (Passion)
Yesterday we looked at Satan’s list of goodies, and it said, “chasing after things instead of God,” was sin. Things… In the New International Version, Galatians 5:16 says, “So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” If you gave up gossip, slander, idolatry, hatred, sexual immorality, etc., you would not give into your flesh and have to pay the evil one. LISTEN: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” (Galatians 6:7)
Instead of hatred you put on love. Instead of lust you put on love. Instead of staying in a hotel of evil, you move into inherited land. You get to choose life or death, and Jesus says, choose life. On July 31st I wrote, “God warned us in Genesis 3 about adultery, how it works and what the consequences of it are. God told man to subdue it, put it under your feet, but Adam didn’t listen.” We have the same authority as Jesus did, because He gave us the name to use. When you speak to your mountain in His name, it has to move. When you apply faith and action to it, it will move.
If you say, “I want out, I am tired of being abused,” and do nothing, nothing will happen. If you speak to that mountain, “I command you to get out of my way. The Word says, no weapon forged against me shall prosper, I have the mind of Christ and that Holy Spirit is my teacher, and I can have every promise in the Word, in Jesus’ name. I choose life. I choose to put on Jesus and step out in faith. I am a prophet over my own life, and I say, light be. I am filled and act in love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness and faithfulness. I am gentle and I am self-controlled. Satan, shut up!”
FAITH works with ACTION. To speak these things is only part one, part two is to step out in faith. You need to do your part, and God will do His.
Let’s talk about the alcoholic DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 3RD,2024 (5784)
Our scripture verse for this mini-series is Proverbs 4:23, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (NIV)
I grew up in an alcoholic home, married alcoholics and today, I am separated by thousands of miles from my husband, living a peaceful life, still married, but single. I cannot seek out a love interest, because I am still married. I remember what it was like living with an alcoholic. I remember they were my focus, my life, my breath.
“For they cannot rest until they do evil; they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble. They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.” (Proverbs 4:16, 17; NIV)
If you live with someone who drinks, you can understand this passage of scripture. The nights they want to talk and keep you awake. The nights they think it is morning and it’s time you get up and go to work. They come home from a bar or party and wake the entire household. The loud music, the banging around in the kitchen. They drink until they black out, not remembering how the holes in the walls got there or your black eye.
Drunkenness is sinfulness. Sin comes from Hell. Demons are sent on assignment to steal, kill and destroy. They seek those they can devour, and they delight in violence. They live to torture humans. What happens here on earth between humans and demons is carried into Hell, where the bible says, there is gnashing of teeth. Hell is the forever separated from God place. That is what is happening inside your loved one. Hell. Tormenting thoughts, wickedness, hate, lust and envy. The tools of Satan, being used on your loved one and everyone who comes in contact with them.
Let’s talk about the alcoholic – Part two DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 4TH,2024 (5784)
Our scripture verse for this mini-series is Proverbs 4:23, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (NIV)
Alcoholism is not a disease, it’s a sin. Which is a good thing, because there is a cure for sin. Repentance. Repentance will open the door to Jesus, to remove, destroy, erase that sin.
How does the bible describe an alcoholic?
29-35 Who are the people who are always crying the blues?
Who do you know who reeks of self-pity?
Who keeps getting beaten up for no reason at all?
Whose eyes are bleary and bloodshot?
It’s those who spend the night with a bottle,
for whom drinking is serious business.
Don’t judge wine by its label,
or its bouquet, or its full-bodied flavor.
Judge it rather by the hangover it leaves you with—
the splitting headache, the queasy stomach.
Do you really prefer seeing double,
with your speech all slurred,
Reeling and seasick,
drunk as a sailor?
“They hit me,” you’ll say, “but it didn’t hurt;
they beat on me, but I didn’t feel a thing.
When I’m sober enough to manage it,
bring me another drink!”
(Proverbs 18, Message)
I am going to ask you at this moment to step outside of your life, and look in as if you were someone peering in. What do you see and feel? Is it a place you want to go visit or run from?
Write it down. Please come back tomorrow.
Let’s talk about the alcoholic – Part three DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 5TH,2024 (5784)
Our scripture verse of this mini-series is Proverbs 4:23, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (NIV)
“Oh listen, dear child – become wise; point your life in the right direction. Don’t drink too much wine and get drunk; don’t eat too much food and get fat. Drunks and gluttons will end up on skid row, in a stupor and dressed in rags.” (Proverbs 23:19 – 21; Message)
This is the life of an alcoholic. I can tell you stories, and this is the end result. You cannot stop it. YOU CANNOT STOP IT. You can talk, try to reason with, but unless your alcoholic decides for themselves, this is their end. My first husband ended up arrested and two weeks later died in a hotel room. My current husband, did the rehab thing, tried to commit suicide, committed adultery, and now lives alone in a house, and has turned from alcohol I am told to marijuana. He is just existing, as far as I am concerned.
You have three options: stay, leave or exist.
We are talking about the alcoholic in this series. Our scripture verse says, “for everything you do flows from the heart.” EVERYTHING. What is everything, all. All things flow from a person’s heart. The book of Proverbs for the most part, gives the seed and harvest for both the righteous and the unrighteous in the same verse. Babies have nothing but purity in their hearts, they are innocent; yet their hearts have been filling since conception. When they enter the world, you have been training them up in the way they should go. They hear, they feel, and they know. When you are stressed, or yelling at your alcoholic, or hiding and crying in your room, they are learning from you.
“Wise conversation is way over the head of fools; in a serious discussion they haven’t a clue. The person who’s always cooking up some evil soon gets a reputation as prince of rogues. Fools incubate sin; cynics desecrate beauty.” (Proverbs 24:7 – 9; Message) Remember we are talking about the alcoholic and the heart. We will continue tomorrow.
Let’s talk about the alcoholic – Part four DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 6TH,2024 (5784)
Our scripture verse for this mini-series is Proverbs 4:23, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (NIV)
What is an addiction? A behaviour that continues until the heart is hardened. It is a stronghold that is deeply seated about God, goes against the will and desire of God for us. It is a behaviour that God says will cause Him to separate Himself from that person. Separation from God entirely, forever.
“Walk straight – live well and be saved; a devious life is a doomed life.” (Proverbs 28:18; Message)
You cannot save anyone. You can hang onto your spouse, walk with them, but it says, a devious life is a doomed life. Meanwhile, you train your children in the way they should walk. Both of you do this. You can be a saint, read and study your bible, go to church, and pray, but our verse says, “for everything you do flows from it.” What is in your families’ hearts? What is your spouse saying to you? Look at the heart, do not judge the heart, but look at the heart. What is your spouse saying to you?
EVERYTHING. The Message says, “that’s where life starts.” The Passion says, “for they affect all that you are.” The Living Translation says, “for it affects everything you do.” The King James says, “for out of it are the issues of life.”
Have you ever heard, “I am just friends with her.” “I am in control of my drinking.” “It’s my life and my money.” “Get off my case.” “I know what I am doing.” “Just leave.” “I hate you.”
“That’s where life starts.” If you want to know what is really happening in them, listen to their heart. A person cannot love more than they love themselves. Listen to their heart.
What is my aim? DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 7TH,2024 (5784)
“But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.” (Hebrews 10:39; NIV)
Victory at all costs, for without victory there is no survival. (PM Churchill)
”Freedom is the most precious gift humanity will ever know. And freedom isn’t free. You have to be willing to fight for it.” (PM Netanyahu – July 4th, 2024)
What is your aim? What are you trying to accomplish? What are your goals?
Paul wrote that if you shrink back, you will be destroyed. In our last series we talked about the heart, that everything flows from it. You can read the Daily Walk at threecrossescanada.com. If it is in your heart – it doesn’t matter about your intellect, your wealth or abilities – you live and speak from your heart. It just flows. If you have planted VICTORY in your heart, it will manifest.
What is my aim? – Part Two DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 8TH,2024 (5784)
In July we talked about Rosie the Riveter. On July 16th, I wrote, “Although Rosie is a made-up person, she represents all the women during World War Two, who spoke victory. They spoke victory over their husband’s and sons’ and daughters who went off to war. They spoke victory over the factory jobs they were forced to go too. They spoke victory over rationing, raising children alone and over the news reports from the front. They spoke victory over gardens, the wounded and the flags of their countries. Although Rosie really wasn’t a real person, she embodied the unity of all women during this time. These brave women recycled everything from pots and pans to bacon grease. They sacrificed everything they had for a common effort, to destroy evil, to put it down, and have victory.”
God told us we need to speak victory and He also said through James, “faith and action” need to work together. A soldier hiding out in the trenches was worthless, a dead man walking. A soldier who believed that God was protecting him, had family members praying for him, would grab hold of his courage, get out of the trenches and fought the good fight. PM Netanyahu said, “Freedom isn’t free. You have to be willing to fight for it.”
I wrote an article called, “Journey to Vision: learning not to be powerless over anything” found at https://threecrossescanada.com/blog/, in which we talked about the Prophet Haggai, the dates between June 24th, and September 24th, and about December 25th, 2024. Since I wrote that article, I have heard Prophets talk about things they see happening between these two dates, and about things they see happening around Christmas. Remember, Prophets see in part and hear in part. You are a prophet over your own life, and you see in part and hear in part.
Tomorrow we are going to drive into alcoholism, you, the present and future. I suggest you visit the link above and get caught up on the Journey to Vision, because this is going to help you and your family.
What is my aim? – Part Three DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 9TH,2024 (5784)
Yesterday I asked you to read the articles I wrote called, “Journey to Vision: learning not to be powerless over anything” found at https://threecrossescanada.com/blog/. I wrote yesterday that we are going to dig into alcoholism, you, the present and future.
June 24 to September 24 is 92 days. From today it is 46 days.
According to the Jewish Calendar, the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month is “Wednesday, 24 Kislev, 5785 – December 25, 2024”
Recently we talked about what an alcoholic is. It is someone bound up in sin. Alcoholism is not a disease. The bible clearly calls it a sin. A sin can be erased by repentance. Sin causes the heart to harden to the point that it separates man from God. Proverbs 4:23 says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (NIV) We started this series with, “But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.” (Hebrews 10:39; NIV)
What is our aim? To seek first the Kingdom and His righteousness, or His way of doing things. God is our number one priority. He is above all else, even our children, our spouse, our jobs, our money, our cars. Without VICTORY there is no survival. Freedom is going to cost us something. God is a rewarder, who sees what is done, whether in private or public, and will give you a harvest on your seed. God cannot be mocked; you will receive the harvest of what you planted.
We talked about Rosie the Riveter, on July 16th and 17th. Go back to the Daily Walk on the website, threecrossescanada.com and read it. WE ARE GOING TO GO DEEP SO YOU CAN GET OUT OF THE MUCK YOU MAY BE IN. I was there, and Jesus said to me, no, He yelled like a drill Sargent, “Get Up! Get Up! Get Up!” You are enlisted in God’s Army, and it is time to put your armor on and not act like a soldier but be a soldier. The United States just changed the draft laws, and women can now be drafted in the military. Mainstream media and well-known people are talking non-stop about preparing. Why is that? Tomorrow, be prepared by having read the articles and about Rosie.
What is my aim? – Part Four DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 10TH,2024 (5784)
You are prepared now. You have read the articles on the website and about Rosie. You know that alcoholism is a sin. You know that the Kingdom of God is what you are supposed to be running after, first and foremost.
God gave Noah the detailed instructions on how to build an Ark.
God gave Noah children to help.
God told Noah to gather food.
God sent the animals.
God shut up the Ark.
God sustained Noah and his family for the year they spent in the Ark.
God opened the Ark.
Noah stepped out and built an altar and sacrificed there.
Noah built homes, gardens, fences, yards, and played with grandchildren.
Noah lived 950 years. After the flood he lived 350 years.
What part was God not involved in Noah’s life? What part is God involved in your life?
Let me answer that for you. He must have it all. All, everything. “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs 4:23; NIV)
What is my aim? – Part Five DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 11TH,2024 (5784)
God told Abram to leave what he knew, and to go where God would show him. He set out not knowing, but God told him to go. Noah didn’t know what rain was, but he built an ark. God said, they obeyed. “So Abram went, as the LORD had told him.” (Genesis 12:4; NIV) The LORD tells you a seed and harvest situation is going on here. What happens when you plant a seed the LORD has given you? A good harvest. A 30, 60, 100-fold harvest.
What is your aim? To make God your number one.
A season is about 90 days, give or take. As of today, there are 44 days left of this season. In this season, the seeds planted will give you a harvest in the next season. Seeds need time to germinate and grow to maturity. From September 25th to December 25th is 91 days. Another season.
In this season, we have seen a major call to prepare. Not in fear but in faith. To plant. Our theme for the year is, “Prepare the Way, Prepare the Way of the LORD God.” Not only are we supposed to prepare our pantries but our hearts. It is time to get right with God. Do what God is telling you to do. Make God first. Seek first His Kingdom.
The world is watching the United States. November 5th, 2024, is a time of sowing seeds. Your vote is a seed, so plant wisely. Remember what God hates, murder. Abortion is murder. He hates lies and using people for personal gain. Go vote and be wise.
We are down to the wire with the goat and sheep as well. Both are Christians, but the goats will not leave sin alone. Jesus said, anything that causes you to sin, or live in sin, leave it, whether that is father, mother, sister, brother, or spouse. God told Abram to leave his family, but he brought Lot along and look at the chaos Lot caused.
The market analysts and prophets are calling for darkness. Joseph Z says it will be a dark November, and Brandon Briggs, a prophetic intercessor is saying a depression worse than the 1930s may come in 2025. Much we can pray away, much we can pray protection over our families, and some will come despite our prayers.
Get your eyes off your circumstances, off your alcoholic, off your job, off your bills, and onto God. God has the detailed plans. God has the answers you are seeking. If God says move, move. If God says, go here, go there.
All We Can Know is VICTORY – DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 12TH,2024 (5784)
The year 5784 ends at sunset, October 2nd, 2024. God operates on the Jewish calendar. We as Christians start 2025 on October 3rd and walk in it for 3 months before everyone else.
Between November 5th, and January 20th, 2025 is 76 days, the United States voting day and the new President takes office.
“Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand…and all of it belongs to you. I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity.” (1 Chronicles 29:14b, 16, 17; NIV)
In 2 Chronicles 1:7, God appears to Solomon and asks him what He can give to him.” Solomon replies, “Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people for who is able to govern this great people of yours.” (v. 10) If Solomon needed wisdom, we certainly do. God says, all we have to do is ask for wisdom and He will give it to us.
In chapter 2, it starts off with Solomon giving orders to have the temple for the Name of the LORD built and a royal palace for himself. First God’s house, then his own. The New International Version says in verse two, “He conscripted.” Conscripted means to force someone to serve in an army or one of the country’s armed forces. In other words, the King declared, assigned tasks to his subjects that they had to carry out. You are a King. You are a child of the Most High God, and called King. That gives you the right to conscript to those under you.
You are over all angels, the Holy and Evil, the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom and the ground kingdom. Solomon sent a message to another kingdom explaining what he planned on doing, and why. “The temple I am going to build will be great, because our God is greater than all other gods….Send me, therefore, a man skilled to work in gold and silver…send me also cedar, pine and algum logs…and I will give….” (chapter 2)
We started today by saying, everything belongs to God, and we only give back to God what He first gave us. Solomon then decided to build a temple for God and a royal palace for himself. He then conscripted, ordered and then requested aid and paid or sacrificed for it. Remember King David would not sacrifice to God without it costing him something.
All We Can Know is VICTORY Part two- DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 13TH,2024 (5784)
Yesterday, we spent time with Solomon as he conscripted, ordered and paid for the building of God’s temple and a royal palace for himself. We also mentioned that we are kings, and are over the Kingdoms of the angels, animals, plants and ground. We have the right to order all things in those kingdoms; however, we must first be a child of the Most High God, and walk in righteousness. If you are off playing with demons, don’t expect the angels to hear you and do your bidding.
Everyone has a guardian angel, who hears and obeys the Word of God. If you speak the Word in faith, angels hear the Word and obey the Word. Psalm 91:14 says, “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.” The LORD says, so you know we are dealing with seed time and harvest time. You sow the seed of loving God, and He will protect you. Angels see your faith, and they know if you love God or not. You speak the Word over yourself, and they hear the Word and perform the Word. How many times have you avoided an accident because angels are on assignment to protect you?
If you are lying, stealing, using curse words and not raising your children the way you should be, do you think angels are listening to you? Verse 9 & 11 say, “If you make the Most High your dwelling….he will command his angels to guard you in all your ways.” God did not say, if you are perfect, if you have read the bible that day, or if you smiled at your mean neighbour, He said, If you make….
God is not going to do for you what you need to be doing for yourself. We are all called to come up higher in our walk with God. We might grasp something and stay for a brief moment there, resting, but soon we hear, come up higher. Then many people start in with, “this is not working, I tried.” “It’s too hard, oh look, sin. Sin is so much more pleasant and easier to obtain.” Angels step back as demons move forward.
All We Can Know is VICTORY Part three- DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 14TH,2024 (5784)
You are above the Kingdoms of angels, animals, plants and the ground. In Malachi 3 it says that God will rebuke the devour, if you are a tither. If you tithe on a regular basis, it says God will rebuke. I use my tither’s rights in my garden. “God, I tithe, and I am calling on my tither rights. Your Word says, “I will prevent pests from devouring your crops and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit. I have aphides. They are pests and they are trying to devour my crops.”
“God, I am a tither, and this sickness is trying to jump on me, and rob my health. Your Word says, you will rebuke the devour for my sake, and your Word says that Jesus was pierced, crushed and punished for my sake. I am expecting you to do something here, as I am a child of yours.”
All sicknesses and diseases come from Hell, so I have the right to cast them out. I have the authority in Jesus’s name to command angels and that includes those demons trying to bring sickness on me. I have the right to command bugs, the weather, the earth and the water. Psalm 91 says, “Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.” Do you believe that? Are you dwelling in the shelter of the Most High? Are you cursing on your left and praising on your right? You have to be all in, not half and half.
Seasons – DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 15TH,2024 (5784)
“Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds” (NIV) “A shepherd should pay close attention to the faces of his flock and hold close to his heart the condition of those he cares for.” (Proverbs 28:23; TPT)
What is the condition of your flock, your family, your circle? We live in a world of me; “I need my ‘me’ time’”. Meanwhile your flock is suffering, under fed, without water, without a shepherd, wandering wherever they choose to go.
What is the condition of your flock? We have been talking about our fields for over two years. What does your bank account look like? What does your pantry look like? Are you prepared for an emergency?
What is the condition of your heart? Are you a fence sitting goat, or a sheep who hears the voice of their shepherd?
Recently we asked the question, “What is your aim?” To make God first. To seek first the Kingdom and His righteousness.
If you are a parent or grandparent, what part of ‘me’ time includes them? As a parent, is not your part of raising children, to feed them spiritually as well as provide them food to eat, give them a warm, safe bed and the freedom to become whom God has called them? What is the condition of your flock?
Receive the hard to answer questions?
Seasons – PART TWO DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 16TH,2024 (5784)
Do you remember back in June and July, we talked about 11 people who needed to get up stream on your boat, but you can only take 10, so you leave the strongest faith filled person behind, and come back for them. When asked what the most important thing in the story was, God said, it was the boat. Without the boat, no one could be saved.
Yesterday we opened with Proverbs 27:23, “Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds.” If you don’t know where you are, and the condition of what you are a watchman over, you will be ill-prepared to deal with life today and be able to sustain them tomorrow.
Recently we discussed 1 Chronicles 29:14 (NIV) that says, “Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.” God created the earth for us, to yield to us, to give us what we need, when we need it. God created seasons, and a time to harvest. “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” (Genesis 8:22; NIV)
Ecclesiastes 3:1 – 8, tells us about time and there is a season for everything. Solomon says, “Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account….God will bring to judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time for every deed.” (Ecclesiastes 3:15, 17; NIV) When you open a cookbook, a cake doesn’t appear on your table. You first need to buy the cookbook, buy the flour and eggs, buy the cakepan, buy the oven to bake in. You gather your supplies together and follow the recipe. You place the batter inside the oven and bake the cake for the allotted time. You pull the cake out and let it cool before you frost it. When you ask God for something, why do you think you have no part to play in the recipe? The series Seasons will continue tomorrow.
Seasons – PART THREE DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 17TH,2024 (5784)
There are 38 days between today and September 24th. You can read about the season between June 24 and September 24 under Blog at threecrossescanada.com.
Yesterday, we read Ecclesiastes 3:15, “Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before: and God will call the past to account.” We have talked about Rosie the Riveter, PM Churchill, World War Two and about the Prime Minster of Israel, Netanyahu. All the devotionals are on the website, so you can go back to June and July.
The past repeats itself, until we get it right or our time of grace is over. I am sure you have heard the saying, ‘keep going around the mountain.’ If something doesn’t change, you will never get out of the cycle. We started this series with Proverbs 27:23, “Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds.” You have to know where you are, so you get what you need.
King David said, “it comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you.” God said in Ecclesiastes there is a time for everything. Now let’s add, “Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty.” (Proverbs 28:19; NIV) Work. Work their land. What has God given you charge over? Your house, your land, your children, your job? Work your land. God said, the lazy have nothing, those who chase fantasies will have poverty. Poverty doesn’t mean just money, it can be a heart issue, a family issue or marriage issue. We will continue Seasons tomorrow.
Seasons – PART Four DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 18TH,2024 (5784)
Yesterday we talked about Ecclesiastes 3:15, “Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before: and God will call the past to account.”
We know that seed time and harvest will never cease. God will not be mocked; what you sow you will reap. Everything is a seed. All your words, all your actions, all your money, your vote is a seed. We have established that God created everything for us, by Him. Everything belongs to God.
God sends what you need in that season to prepare for the next season. Everything starts from a seed and ends in a harvest. You have to plant a seed, and it takes time for that seed to germinate and produce a harvest.
God always tells us what is coming before it happens, so we have time to plant seeds and harvest what we need before the season comes upon us. What is the condition of your flock?
Before 2019, God has been telling His people through the Prophets, what is coming. And it happened just like they said. The Prophets are still talking, are you listening? Have you taken your eyes off your circumstances and looked up. Have you been practicing your aim? Making God number one.
What have you done with the words of the Prophets? I have posted them online, and I have written about them. Have you examined the Words and planted the seeds? I keep directing you to the series ‘Joy of Home’ on the website. I write to you about being prepared in your pantry and your heart. Have you heeded the Word?
God sends what you need in that season to prepare for the next season. If you are new, tomorrow we will review.
Seasons – PART FIVE DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 19TH,2024 (5784)
We are going to review…you can read in detail on the website threecrossescanada.com.
God told Noah to build an ark, because something called rain was coming. It took Noah approximately 120 years to build the boat. God told Noah, to fill the ark with food for themselves and the animals. God sent the animals, and God shut the door of the ark. When the door was opened to the ark, Noah built an altar to God and sacrificed an offering. Noah gave back to God, what God provided. Noah then built houses, fields, fences and barns.
God provided Noah what he needed in one season, that would be needed in the next season. Noah prepared what was given by God, so he could have it to use in the next season. In 2023, our theme was Be in Season, Out of SEASON. God gave food to Noah, and Noah put it up, saved it, preserved it for the next season. Noah worked the land to have abundant food, he worked hard to build an ark, he and his family worked. For about 120 years, Noah worked and preached. Noah and his family preserved food for themselves and the animals. The people who died chased fantasies.
In the year 2020, the Prophets spoke 2 Chronicles 20:20, have faith in God, have faith in the Prophets. In early July, even the mainstream broadcasters started to talk about preparedness. All year long, Prophets and market analysts have been talking about getting prepared for a market crash. Homesteaders and gardeners have been calling out to people to prepare.
The weather has been wild and unpredictable, some of it has been manmade. Chaos in the streets. Protests and cell groups. Planned pandemic? Talk about aliens, solar flares, EMTs, AI, and depression worse than the 1930s.
We prepare in faith, not fear. When you are prepared, you don’t fear.
What I feared has come upon me DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 20TH,2024 (5784)
What Job feared came upon him. Don’t be Job. We prepare in faith, not fear.
This is what the Sovereign LORD says:
My servants will eat, my servants will drink, my servants will rejoice, my servants will sing out of the joy of their hearts….but you will go hungry, but you will go thirsty, but you will be put to shame, but you will cry out from anguish of heart and wail in brokenness of spirit.” [Mixed up; but complete] (Isaiah 65:13, 14; NIV)
God never said we wouldn’t go through things, He said, when we do, He will strengthen us, provide for us, and fight for us. In Amos 3:7, it says, “Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.” (NIV) You are a prophet over your own life, therefore, somewhere at some time, God revealed your seed and your harvest to you. In the last series, I wrote, “God sends what you need in that season to prepare for the next season.”
In verse 6 of chapter three in the book of Amos, “When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?” At some time seed was planted, the harvest was disaster. When you plant the seed of laziness, doesn’t your laundry and dishes cry out to you? If you heed the call, and wash them, the harvest of no clothing or dishes is canceled. If a city builds gambling halls, promotes drug and alcohol addiction, gives money to the homeless that causes them to remain there, boasts strip clubs and sells children for pleasure, doesn’t that seed planting create a harvest of evil? If a government begins to lie to its citizens, overtax them, dictates to them, punishes them for doing good, what kind of harvest will the country have?
The bibles says that God cannot be mocked, you will reap what you sow. At one time abortion was illegal, today it is promoted. At one time homosexuality was illegal, today it is promoted. At one time people had to work for a living, today governments hand out money. At one time, the church preached one way to Heaven, today, they preach many ways. What do you see as the harvest?
How do you cancel a bad harvest? Repent and turn away from it. Continue with praise to God for setting you straight and do what God tells you to do. You ask, what is our aim? To put God first, to seek His Kingdom first.
What I feared has come upon me – PART TWO DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 21ST,2024 (5784)
“Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets….An enemy will overrun your land, pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses.” (Amos 3:7,11; NIV)
Has an enemy overrun you? Have you made some poor decisions? Are you reaping what you have sown? If so, repent and start planting the seeds that you want to harvest. Yes, it’s that simple. I didn’t say easy, I said, simple. A seed must germinate and grow, and it must produce a harvest.
There are 34 days until September 24th, 2024. For a detailed read, visit threecrossescanada.com, and read the articles under Blog. In the book of Haggai, he writes, “on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month…on the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month.” Of course I am using the Gregorian Calendar, not the Jewish Calendar. On the Jewish Calendar, the 24th day, of the ninth month is 24 Kislev, and this year it falls on December 25th, 2024, and the construction resumed on the temple.
Hanukkah Eve, First candle 5785 Wednesday, 24 Kislev is our December 25th, 2024. Counting back 92 days, from December 25th, is September 24th . In Canada, it starts on December 26th, because of the time zone difference.
The Jewish NEW YEAR starts on the evening of October 3rd, 2024, which is called Rosh HaShanah and is 1 Tishrei 5785.
What happened on December 25th? Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus. However, Jesus was really born around the time of Tishr (mid to late September.)
According to the Gregorian Calendar the 24th day of the 9th month is September 24th. According to the Jewish Calendar it is December 25th. Hanukkah celebrates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem in the second century, BC.
“On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month…Now give careful thought to this from this day on – consider how things were before one stone was laid on another in the LORD’S temple….Give careful thought: Is there yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit. From this day on I will bless you.”” (Haggai 2:10, 15, 19; NIV)
Yes, lots of dates and events – but they are important. Keep going…keep fighting the good fight of faith.
What I feared has come upon me – PART Three DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 22ND,2024 (5784)
Yesterday we talked about dates and celebrations, and they are important for you to know. God doesn’t do things just because, there is a reason behind it all.
On April 8th, the solar eclipse passed over seven cities called Nineveh, seven in the United States and one in Canada. Nineveh was given 40 days to repent, and if they didn’t, God was going to destroy the city. That is what made Jonah so mad, the city wasn’t destroyed. April 8th to Pentecost was 40 days.
From April 8th, 2024, to April 13th, 2025 (Palm Sunday) is 370 days, and to April 20th, 2025, is 377 which is Easter Sunday. Noah and his family, according to experts, say they were on the Ark for either 370 days or 377.
Experts say it took Noah 80 to 120 years to build the ark. One hundred and twenty is the age God chose for man to live. Israel became a nation in 1948 and between that year and 2025 is 77 years. It would be 1905 if you subtracted 120 years from 2025. If you look back at 1905 headlines, you see Russia, Russia, Russia. However, if we look at 1904, the “Second Aliyah begins: Around 40,000 Jews flee the Russian Empire (spurred by the Kishniev pogrom and other anti-Semitic outbreaks) between 1904 and 1914. They bring socialist values and, in this period, Hebrew starts to revive as a spoken language.” https://www.heyalma.com/israel-guide/history-of-israel-palestine-before-1948/#:~:text=1904,revive%20as%20a%20spoken%20language. The Hebrew word “Aliyah” literally means ascent or rise, but for generations it has been used to mean “immigration to Israel.”
“Despite the war, 1,500 to 1,600 people are expected to arrive in just July and August alone,” he says. “Based on our knowledge of Aliyah intentions, in 2024, we will break the records of the last ten years, with around 4,000 Jews making Aliyah to Israel from North America.” By Yishay Peleg / Makor RIshon Published on 07-11-2024 10:00
4,000 just from North America. 33 days until September 24th, 2024.
I know some of this may not make much sense to you today, as it is prophetic. We are walking in our tomorrow. Tomorrow is where God lives, and if you are in your tomorrow, you can turn around and look back to see where you are and it will lead you to where you want to go.
What I feared has come upon me – PART FOUR DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 23RD,2024 (5784)
A whole lot of dates over the last two days. Recently we talked about Ecclesiastes 3:15, which says, “Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.” (NIV) History repeats itself. There is nothing new under the sun.
A seed was planted, therefore a harvest is rendered. “Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house.” (Proverbs 6:31; NIV) Do you remember the verse, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28; NIV)
God will do nothing without telling His prophets before hand. The Prophets spoke about the assassination attempt on Trump. Years before many of them spoke this Word. Many were warned to pray through the night before the attempt. A seed was planted by evil, and God heard the voices and gave the voices of the enemy to the Prophets who spoke the Word and intercessors prayed the Word over him, and God saved him. God worked for his good, and now he can demand a seven-fold return, because the thief was caught.
God warned on April 8th, the eclipse passed over Nineveh, seven in fact, and the Prophets spoke, and they called for repentance. The nations heeded the Word and repented. Many, many, stood in the gap for those who refused to repent, ignored the Word or didn’t care to hear it. Who is going to receive the “working it our for our good” and the seven-fold return? Those who repented.
Since June 25th, 2024, I have spoken about this season, between June 24th, and September 24th. Since before April 8th, I have spoken about the eclipse and about the 40 days and the 370 and 377 days. I wrote an article called, “Mission Noah”. If Noah entered the Ark on April 8th, 2024, the door would be opened either on April 13th, which is Palm Sunday, the day Jesus enters Jerusalem, or April 20th, Easter Sunday, the day Holy Spirit enters Hell, and gives life back to Jesus, and raises Him from the dead.
I have told you what the Prophets have been saying about 2025, about it being dark and harsh as the ship continues to turn. There must be a right sizing and it will be hard to go through, but necessary. Those who obey will be rewarded. Remember all the verses about God feeding and giving drink to those who are righteous and obeyed. You have 32 days left until September 24th. Be in Season, out of SEASON.
Victory at all costs DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 24TH,2024 (5784)
In July, I introduced you to Rosie the Riveter. Here is a recap:
Although Rosie is a made-up person, she represents all the women during World War Two, who spoke victory. They spoke victory over their husband’s and sons’ and daughters who went off to war. They spoke victory over the factory jobs they were forced to go too. They spoke victory over rationing, raising children alone and over the news reports from the front. They spoke victory over gardens, the wounded and the flags of their countries. Although Rosie wasn’t a real person, she embodied the unity of all women during this time. These brave women recycled everything from pots and pans to bacon grease. They sacrificed everything they had for a common effort, to destroy evil, to put it down, and have victory.
These women who lived during this time had grit, determination and a desire to do everything they could to accomplish, victory. They were forced into factories; it wasn’t an option for them. Some factories were open seven days a week, and they worked 12, 16-hour shifts. Most didn’t have a clue how to garden, but they picked up their shovels and learned to plant and harvest. They took adult coats and cut them and sewed them into children’s coats. They did the seemingly impossible and made it possible.
In Britain, people ran to bomb shelters in the dark because light was forbidden at night. The mothers of many of the children sent them away to protect them, some into the country and some to different countries. Rationing was world-wide, extending to 1955 in some countries. Fuel was rationed, clothing and fabric were rationed, shoes were rationed, and everyone from the royal palace to the poorest of the poor lived it.
Many women who had young children stayed home, and cared for their neighbors’ children, knitted gloves and sweaters for the soldiers, assisted in making bandages, canning fruit to send overseas. Many women took in children from Britain to care for them to keep them safe. They supported the women who lost husband’s and children during the war. This simple poster of a woman named, Rosie the Riveter, aided the war effort in bolstering the ability of women who were pressured to perform to their highest level, because that was what was needed to have victory during the war.
Rosie wasn’t alone. The streets, the cities and countries around the world were filled with her likeness. Rosie became known as a woman who wouldn’t back down, she gained notoriety as the woman who ‘can’ do everything necessary to help win the war. Prime Minster Churchill said in his first speech, “You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.”

Victory at all costs – Part Two DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 25TH,2024 (5784)
Why are we so focused on victory and not our circumstances, our family, our money, our lives? Because, if you stay focused on those things, you will not have victory. Victory is outside of where you live today. World War Two started on September 1st, 1939, but it had been brewing a lot longer than that. It ended on September 2nd, 1945. It lasted six years, officially. The United States didn’t join in until Pearl Harbour, December 7th, 1941.
Rationing was in full swing by 1941. Britain was already years into the rationing system of very little meat, (they received mostly cow tongues, ox hearts, mutton and spam), small amounts of fats, sugar, eggs and milk. Clothing was rationed, as well as, tires, gasoline, anything made of metal, shoes, canned goods, candy and many other things. In Britain it was mandatory to keep all lights out at night, so there were no streetlamps, no headlights allowed on if you traveled at night, you had to put up boards on your windows every evening to block out all lights. With no lights the enemy bombers could not see where to drop the bombs.
In 2020, people complied with the whole narrative, and even today, many still are. What did you learn from going through it? Most have forgotten it. The lessons came and went. Just as they did after the celebrations of World War Two ended.
Some people who had been called crazy before this time because they had prepared for difficult times, sat back and watched as people lined up with covered faces and stood feet apart. After the event, they restocked, and once again, endure the verbal assaults of those who have done nothing. As 2022 rolled into 2023, the prophets voices changed to prepare, this is coming. Now in 2024, the mainstream has started calling for prepare.
What are you focusing on today? Your current circumstances, or your future? God gave us today, to prepare for tomorrow. If you are married to a violent spouse, a gambler, or drinker, a lazy or passive spouse, that doesn’t mean you don’t do something. You may not be able to do everything for your family that a ‘married’ couple does that works and prays together, but you can do something. Your tomorrow has a voice, and it is calling you, telling you what you need to do today, that will bring you into your destiny tomorrow.
Victory at all costs – Part Three DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 26TH,2024 (5784)
What does VICTORY look like to you? Getting through the day without a yelling match? Having enough groceries in the cupboard for a meal and rent paid on time? Finding your child’s library book? Getting the dishes done and the laundry caught up? These can be very good Victories. Nothing wrong with them; however, you need to come up higher after they are attained.
What about walking daily in peace, no matter what is happening around you? What about having three weeks of food in your pantry? What about having a system in place for all your children’s things? What about keeping the dishes done up and the laundry hamper tamed?
After that, can you come up even higher? How about a three-month food and water pantry? Having a thousand-dollar emergency fund? How about a successful chore list for the children? Can you come up even higher?
Do you notice that your battles have been victories, and they continue to grow and change over time. Change happens when you challenge yourself to do something different. It is like your children, you start off small, such as learning to pick up toys and putting them in a basket. Then you teach them to put the basket back in their room. Then you teach them to make the bed. Then you teach them to dust and vacuum, followed by teaching them to do their own laundry. What would happen if you taught them to pick up their toys and taught them nothing afterwards. They become ten years old, and you start yelling at them because they are lazy. They are not lazy, they are uneducated. You left them trapped in a box.
Victory Minded DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 27TH,2024 (5784)
You have to get Victory Minded. If you have an idea, and seconds later say, “it will never work,” it won’t. If you say, I have an idea, and formulate a plan and see it won’t work, that way, reformat it until you think you have it. Try it, if it fails, try again. Most people try, and if they fail, they give up. Maybe they might try again, but they do the same thing, not changing anything, and fail and say it just doesn’t work. That is insanity.
They pray to God to have Him do something, all the while, God has given them what they need to do, but they don’t do it, and blame God that nothing has changed. If you are an American, you know that you need to get out and vote in NOVEMBER. Your vote is a seed, and if you don’t plant that seed, it won’t produce a harvest. How many people don’t vote? That means they will not have a harvest, and they will complain that their neighbors got a harvest, their parents got a harvest, but they got nothing. They got nothing because they didn’t plant a seed.
Why are you in the marriage you are? You fell in love or you fell into lust or you fell into greed, or you fell into a trap of lies. The harvest you have is the seed you planted. I know, that is harsh, but it’s the truth. I know a marriage takes two to make it work. If one does nothing, it won’t work. If one is addicted to a substance, or gambling, it won’t work. But the one person has this belief in their heart, it will all work out, I just have to work harder, try harder, grin and bear it. You will grin and bear it for a bush of thorns, but not grin and bear anything that will produce sweet fruit on the vine.
The seed you planted, you will harvest. If you want something else, plant a new seed, and cancel your bad harvest. Yes, it is that simple. But remember, we are called to come up higher. We fight battles to have victory. God is in our court, but He won’t do the work you need to do. I ask for God’s words to be written in these devotionals, but I have to pray and hear the word, study the word, write what He wants written. I spend hours daily reading, listening, and praying. Some days more than others, but I have to protect myself and my seed. If I run off and sin and sin and sin, my words will appear on this devotional, not His.
Victory Minded – Part Two DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 28TH,2024 (5784)
What are you thinking about today?
Is it pure, holy and wonderful?
“But the wicked will perish; Though the LORD’s enemies are like the flowers of the field, they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.” (Psalm 37: 20; NIV) Is that you or someone in your family. It says, the wicked will perish. Do you understand that? The wicked will perish. Sin has its own master, are you serving him? Don’t run away, face it and repent. Repentance means to declare to God that you missed the mark and are willing to turn away from sin and do the right things. God will forgive you for your sins and have them erased from your book. Every single thing you do and say is recorded in Heaven.
The wicked will perish. God says, sex outside of marriage is sin. God says, drunkenness is a sin. God says, not protecting your family is a sin. Can you right these wrongs today? Yes. Go to God right now and say, “I sinned against you and my body, my mind, my heart, and family. Forgive me.” Now you are forgiven, if you said it and meant it. Now go forth and sin no more. If you are living with someone outside of marriage, that means no more sex. If you are a drunkard or living with one, stop. If you are not protecting your family like you should be, start. There are no excuses, because God is with you.
“I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose – I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.] (Philippians 4:13; AMP)
Victory Minded – Part Three DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 29TH,2024 (5784)
This is what God told me about seed time and harvest time:
“Words are alive when they leave your mouth, and they must fall to the ground and die so they can come to life and multiply.”
Everything you say and do comes from your heart. Not your mind, your heart. The Word says, from the heart, the mouth speaks. If you want to know what is inside your spouse, your boss, or best friend, listen to the words from their heart, not their head. How do you know where they are coming from? Follow their actions.
If someone showers you with words of love, and turns around and treats you harshly, violently or contradictory, you know what is really in their heart. When you tell someone, you love them, and allow yourself to be lied to, abused, stolen from, that tells you what is in your heart. True love doesn’t lie, abuse people, doesn’t speak harshly, is patient and kind. When you allow someone to abuse you and you run after them all the while telling them you love them, it is telling the world you are desiring to be loved but seeking it in the wrong place. A person cannot love you, if they don’t love themselves.
You may lust after that person, you may have decided that your version of love is real, but it’s not. Love is gentle, kind, forgiving, compromising, fulfilling needs and desires, it is understanding, conversation, servicing one another. Lust is greed, dishonoring, vile, vulgar, mean, and exploits. Marriage is about unity, two coming together as a unit, functioning as one. Two people who are living a lie of marriage are usually at war with one another, selfish, one is if not both are bullies, the children are placed way down on the totem pole, they fight, say nasty things, and fight for control of the marriage.
Yet, many want to live in hell. I was there for many, many years too. “The wicked will perish.” (Psalm 37:20; NIV) They are an enemy of God’s and a friend to Satan. You get to decide which side you stand on.
Victory Minded – Part Four DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 30TH,2024 (5784)
A Victory Minded person is always willing to go to war for their family. They are service minded people, choosing to take any degree of ‘honourable’ wounds for them. War is messy, painful, uncomfortable, and you will suffer for doing good. That’s why few people choose to go to war for their families. “But I am suffering living with an alcohol abuser?” No, you are suffering because you are living an unrighteous life. There I said it. You are receiving the harvest of your seeds. Sin seeds produce a harvest of pain and unrighteousness.
When you make Satan your enemy, he is going to come after you with a vengeance; but God has given you weapons of warfare. Armour, angels, Words of warfare or a double-edged sword. When you speak in Jesus’ name, demons have to flee, if you speak from your heart rooted in love and faith. Your job as a married spouse is to cover and protect them. Your job as a parent is to shield your children from the fiery darts of Satan. Protect them from violence, words of evil and swearing, pornography, homosexuality, transgenderism, drugs, alcohol, laziness, and gluttony.
“Well in today’s world….” I don’t care about today’s world; I care about what God says. Are you sending your children to school covered in prayer, charging their guardian angels to protect them from harm, unhealthy choices, hurtful words, and wrong teachings. Are you commanding that drug dealers, peers who use drugs and alcohol, bullies, false teachers, shooters, and every form of evil stay away from your children. Are you speaking life over them. My children are smart and enjoy going to school. My children know their destinies and hear the voice of God. My children will wait to have sex and they will meet and marry the one God chose for them. This is warfare. Your children might protest because you don’t allow them to go to parties with drugs and alcohol. They might protest because you don’t allow them to smoke at home. They might protest because you won’t let them play video games with violence in them. This is warfare. You are a soldier, get out of the trenches and fight.
The Days of Warfare are upon us DAILY WALK IN TOMORROW – August 31TH,2024 (5784)
If you run away from Jesus, you are not ready for being a soldier. I am talking about the times, Jesus Himself enters the room and He tells you to do something, and you turn around and run away because He is telling you to let go of sin or to come up higher or go into the battle because the saints are bloody, wounded and they need you to run in with your weapons.
Are you saying things like, “I can’t say anything because homosexuality is a person’s free choice, and I can’t say anything because abortion is a woman’s free choice, and just because someone is dressed up in drag reading to my children doesn’t make them a bad person, and that man who identifies himself as a woman has the right to walk naked in front of my child in the dressing room. I protect my children from my alcoholic spouse. No, I cannot call the police on my spouse. I have to keep talking to my mother-in-law, even though she calls me names. I am a pitiful mess. Yes, my children are lazy. My spouse is a rotten so and so.”
That is a person who is running away from Jesus, not to Him. That is a bed fellow of Satan. I know, I was there. When I decided to run towards Jesus, my life became a war zone. I was physically attacked by demons. They pushed at my emotions, my physical strength. I caught cold after cold after cold. They spoke suicide to me, to give up I would never win, they woke me up during the night with nightmares, they caught me up in depression, they drove evil thoughts into my mind. But when I stood and learned how to fight back, they fled. That doesn’t mean they still don’t attack and try, and that they fly under the radar and catch me unaware, it means, I am battle scarred, seasoned, and ready for the next round.
No one abuses me. No one uses fowl language around me. No one takes me for granted. Yes, I give generously, but I do not enable. If evil pushes at me, I push back even harder. I pray in tongues, I pray in English, and I pray with my finances. I pick up the bible and stand on it. God’s armour doesn’t have anything to protect my back side, so I have to continue to move forward. If I can go from a lump of coal being chipped at, to a warrior of God, so can you. Every battle makes me stronger and wiser than the last. I am not a general, but I am no longer a potato on the couch. It’s time.
