Warriors for Christ!

As I reflect on my life, the difficulties I currently face, I am reminded of my freedom in Christ! Thank you Heavenly Father for your word that keeps us so grounded in truth. Our feelings do not always reflect the truth but your word truly is a lamp unto my tired feet. Thank you for the strength of the Holy Spirit that keeps me focused as Noah was, even though others didn't believe and there was no sign of rain, I labour on hearing your voice direct my paths forward, preparing me for what is ahead. Jesus, you are King and I am thankful you chose me to walk through life with. Please continue to share with me your strength and teach me perseverance. All honour and glory to you, Amen Acts 13:38-39🙏💪

Please don't wish someone you love a happy mothers day, birthday, etc. and neglect a relationship with them throughout the year. As anti-social media has hit an all time high, many of our loved ones are feeling all time lows. Have we forgotten shat it means to be relational with one another? Perhaps we have, because we are neglecting our first love, Jesus Christ. I cannot tell you how lonely I feel, hearing from someone once a year on a birthday when I don't hear from them all year. Life is tough, we need eachother, we need to feel the love of Christ through eachother. We need to share our burdens and cry with eachother, the hell with this fakebook garbage that encourages pride and no need for Christ. Lets get honest and bare our souls in humility. Are we all not worth the investment? How else do we glorify God if not living and loving as he? May I encourage you to love your mother and others each and everyday, and ditch the traditions of this perverse and corrupt world. As God also deserves to be honoured each and every day, not just on Sundays! Be bold believers and be s living sacrifice for our living King! God bless you all with love and respect!💪❤🙏

Please pray for Taylor! A family friend's 13 year old daughter called her mom to let her know she was leaving the house to deliver a package and would be home in 30 minutes, but never returned home. Local police have put out a public inquiry and we are praying she will be found and return home safely. Lord Jesus Christ keep Taylor and her family in your protection and lead your daughters into your arms in Jesus name Amen.🙏😪

How many times a day do you suppose Jesus gets rejected?  And yet, He keeps showing s up. I was in His word this morning and read the following:

Life is bonkers, I could write a book. I am overwhelmed. I need prayers please. We are victorious in Christ, and satan is coming at me in full force. I have learned so much from my trials and the recent death of my mother. I want so desperately to encourage you all, but find myself in a vulnerable position I never thought spiritually I would be in. Please pray that my faith in God will unimaginably push forward despite and all that is happening. I wish to be so drunk in truth, His word is an anchor to my restless soul. God bless you all. Please continue to support and lift each other up in prayer!!💪🙏

I think our culture has forgotten and walked away from God on so many levels. And interestingly enough, we have chosen to rewire ourselves to be the victims despite our Lord's advice to "be still and know that He is God". Instant gratification, constant stimulation, increased need for false pleasures to replace the "joy" that comes as a fruit of His Spirit. Is that why deception is so dangerous, because we incrementally loose our desire for truth and those things that are absolute? Technology and AI advancements are the precursors to the Antichrist Introduction? We've been groomed into slowly accepting dysfunctional lives and no longer challenge ourselves? Recently a loved one questioned me about my "standard", as if I myself said, "be holy for I am holy". A lack of a relationship with God will have anyone confused and unnecessarily argumentative. But the bigger question is when did we loose our desire to be a better version of ourselves and allow God's goodness to challenge us to seek righteousness and out compete eachother in love and kindness? And can we be the catalyst to change things starting with our own lives?! Iron sharpens iron does not always look like "atta' boys", but simple reminders we are trying to widen the path. Yesterday I found this little gem about brain health which I could appreciate, as I see how the enemy uses not only the fentanyl crisis to weaken our walk with Christ, but simple things like food, sleep, computers, relationships and more, and without understanding the bigger picture, it is easy to gloss over the real issues and give up. I pray this inspires you all to take control over that which we can control and become stronger and more informed about our daily decisions. A sharper brain can choose to make intentional changes to increase our time with God and armour us against the wiles of the enemy. God bless you all this day and inspire you to be a living sacrifice for our Lord, in Jesus name Amen!🙏💪 https://youtu.be/90bxNpimtb8?si=dc6qmvlveseEIvCE

Good morning! How wonderful it is to be His!! A best friend of mine mentioned she was turning 50, she too has lost both of her parents, and said, no matter how much time passes, it's no fun being an orphan. I thought about that for a minute and told her, I'm not an orphan, I've been adopted by a Heavenly Father years ago! Loosing someone is difficult for sure, and there is a strange feeling when you loose both of your earth parents, but it has been hard for me to be sad. God is so good! Over the years I have learned to see His sovereignty over all circumstances I have been in, and I am filled with joy to know He's never left my side. He's provided such beautiful people throughout my life to encourage growth and improve my attitude, I have nothing but gratitude and respect! It truly is an art to seek God in all things, find that silver lining, and learn to give thanks in all circumstances! My parents were far from perfect, but the legacy of Christ in their hearts I pray lives out in me through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit towards others! What a constant joy it is to have such a profound love for your neighbour. God is an excellent teacher and I am excited for the journey ahead, those He places in our lives, the lessons we share together, and the promises we see come alive. Let us be bold that others may see how Great our God truly is and bless as we have been blessed!! Much love.💪🙏

Teaching our children about truth this morning and came across a book written by CS Lewis entitled the Screwtape Letters in which serves as an instruction guide to Christians written from the perspective of demons. I can barely wrap my brain around this. We have God's Holy word, an instruction guide to life written by the author of life, and CS Lewis is hailed as a classic Christian author and dares to write foolishness and it is hailed a good read. Are you kidding me?! God's word never falls void, and he don't need Hollywood or CS Lewis to accomplish the transformative work of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes I think we have put so much distance between ourselves and God that it is easy to fall prey to the workings of the enemy and praise it as if it were from God. The bible verse, James 4:7-8; So humbly submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you of two minds, is a great reminder of where truth originates. It is imperative we develop an intimate relationship with God as to develop righteous discernment for truth, and know that He can be found in the quiet stillness. God's word is sufficient for every good teaching! 💪🙏

Thank you all for your prayers. My mom passed away peacefully on Tuesday night and entered into the Lord's rest surrounded by her three children. Leading up to her passing I was praying for God to teach me to love as He loves and teach me what it means to live in the Spirit. We were praying for a miracle, and God certainly delivered. While mom is no longer with us, we reunited three estranged siblings and spent 5 beautiful days worshipping our Lord all together. She was coherent and alive with laughter, praying and singing too. I enjoyed every moment we had, we never left her side, and we were with her reading scripture right until her last breath. We were told she was very sick, and every day learned of just how sick. Mom neglected herself, and struggled to ask for help, allowing herself to be vulnerable. But I am confident she is with the Lord because we spoke of her desire to live for Jesus and each day witnessed her surrender. She knew her life was in God's hands and turned her life back to Him. I am so greatful to witness her transformation and had plenty of opportunities to praise God in all circumstances. Undiagnosed, untreated diabetes, no medical records, 3 severe heart attacks, esophageal cancer, stomach ulcers, mass on the small bowel, clot near the liver, pancreatitis, and advanced cancer spreading to the lymph nodes. We were told mom was very sick, but prayed for healing and witnessed what appeared to be a recovery, now appreciative of the final days we were granted was the miracle we never knew we were praying for. How can I be angry knowing mom was a born again believer in the arms of our Saviour, who am I to wrestle God? I am so thankful for all the things I have seen God's sovereignty in, as He never spared the details. God's will was done and His timing was perfect, and I am at peace she is with Him and we will see each other again! Today I rejoice in the grief and continue to trust in His word. Thank you to all who have chosen to support me in this journey through prayer and petition. I want to continue to build relationships and support you all as brothers and sisters in Christ and if I can pray for you and support you in any way, please don't go through your trial alone, we are here for eachother. Much love and blessings to you all! God is good!! 🙏💪❤

An uphill battle with Jesus Christ as our plan.  I am sitting in the hospital with my mom who has neglected herself to the point she is very sick according to doctors.  Now day 3 of getting out of a diabetic coma and surviving a major heart attack, to the eyes of the world her future looks grim, but I can't believe all of the moments we have felt Christ in our presence.  I am consumed with caring for mom and trying to keep my family from playing into the enemy's hands, while there is great frustration and nerves are high, I am optimistic about all that I see God orchestrating in many circumstances surrounding me. I am overwhelmed with emotion by the power and love of our Lord.  I am calling out again for prayers, specifically for moms esophageal lining and bad bouts of acid reflux.  It has managed to prevent her from consuming calories that could help her in her recovery.  Please pray for healing.  I am a bit exhausted and struggling to focus in prayers. Thank you all, God bless you helping me through.

Your urgent prayers please! My mother Peggy Quirk has been admitted in the hospital with a diabetic coma and the bloodwork they have been performing reveals shr has had two heart attacks recently. I am in the hospital now, as they are monitoring her vitals. Lord Jesus, I pray that my mothers health be in your hands. Be the miracle to level all her vitals and make her heart strong to draw all honour and glory to you. I have been reading her scriptures and seek your promises to stand on. There are so many things happening in her health all at once that surely your grace be all that she needs in her moment of weakness. Lord keep thr enemy at bay, and protect her body. Give her rest and the healing she needs. And give mr rest and peace so that the enemy's lies not be entertained. My mother is a believer and her life lay in your mighty hands, and I trust you with her life. Bring forth a miraculous healing Lord so that you can be exalted amongst many in our presence in Jesus name Amen.🙏💪

Ya, we are way passed Mrs.Doubtfire mentality! Satan has had a hay day with our identity since the beginning. It's not just about knowing the difference between genitals, it's about the security of understanding who we belong to, and having that firm foundation to take on our adversary daily with confidence. A pastor we met among our family's current trials shared this with us, and here I forward it to you. Lord teach us our identity so that we can feel confident of all that you teach us as we take on each day, and give us strength to encourage and strengthen each other in faith in Jesus name Amen! https://youtu.be/CljIegi_Fxw?si=1-om3Dzft1jnDkql

"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14 The Lord knows we have been going through many difficult trials, and recently I found myself declaring, where could I find an answer in the bible for that which "I" currently face. And then, he patiently showed me. Sincerely I thank and praise you Lord Jesus!! 🙏💪

It is one thing to understand that we are living with a spiritual battle that affects us, but it is quite another to understand the psychological strongholds and how they work against us. Many people are affected by an addiction either themselves or someone they love. Understanding how it all works is knowledge we can use to defeat the destructive forces against us all. The Lord said, "Be still and know that I am God..." Learning to live with delayed gratification and understanding hard work yields greater satisfaction in us is key and a parallel of our struggles in this life and the long lasting reward we will receive one day with enough endurance and our eyes focused on Christ to persevere! God bless you for not giving up, pushing forward and learning the art of self discipline. I pray this be a blessing and give you strength to carry on in love! https://youtu.be/R6xbXOp7wDA?si=2d_3FdwK1gxUCN5Y

Happy new year. Want to change your life and find purpose and meaning amongst the challenges...Read your bible! God bless you all for your perseverance, endurance and love that provides enough salt to keep this evil world palatable. Iron sharpens iron! https://youtu.be/6QltxZ-vPMc?si=5dRQWFql8LO0VzuU

Can you please take the time to share with me, whoever is reading this, how did you come to know God?  When or what circumstances in your life led you to the love of our Saviour.  Someone out there feeling lost needs love and hope.  They don't know what God's voice "sounds" like.  They don't recognize how He works in our lives, and therefore feels doubt and despair.  If you are willing to share, don't spare details please.  Perhaps our testimony may be that person's hope and reason to feel peace and joy.  "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear" 1 Peter 3:15. And may God sincerely bless you and continue to be our strength! 🙏💪
