Monday Morning Message

We all have Ooops moments 4/30/18

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Tue, 1 May 2018 13:01:00 -0400

Gooooood morning,

As per usual, as I journeyed through this week, several instances of the same type of thing kept occurring. By now, multiples like this catch my attention. Straightway, I go the Lord and ask, “Lord, what is the meaning if this?” “What is the underlying message?”, “What would You have me take away from these observances?”

Who hasn’t approached a chore or a process or some other negligible, seemingly insignificant task only to wind up tripping, spilling, missing or demolishing the whole shebang? When we have those happenstances, we turn red, we shriek at the mess. Sometimes, we get mad ourselves, sometimes we just laugh at the folly. sometimes it sets us on a course or reliving the moment with embarrassment, disappointment, and dejection.

If we are not careful we can sustain that negative energy field, the self-mortifying enactment within. What good can come of continuing in that pattern of downward spiral unto a downtrodden spirit?

Isn’t this also the case with those that harbour sin in their hearts?! They are compelled to relive the terrible things they have done and seek to further bury them, rather than to clean it up or surrender to God for assistance in how to avoid, move past or protect oneself from such messes.

Life is messy. No one is perfect. We all have moments of less than stellar performance, whether that be in word, actions, thought, deed, activity or service. How will we react in those moments?! How will we recover and regroup?! Will we learn?! Will we grow?! Will we seek to become more adept and skilled or will we dismiss our mistakes or run from accountability?! Will we be gracious with ourselves and others or will we be deprecating?

How do we treat those who mess up toward us or in our presence? Are we forgiving, forbearing and helpful to restore them? Do we criticize them, resurrect it and torment them with it? We ought to be mindful of how to best treat those circumstances, in the knowledge that we too at some point have been or will be on the other side of that coin.

Mess ups are opportunities for correction or fuel for folly. We get to choose how we will redeem those moments. Will they work to our advantage or will they be the snare unto further ruination?

Psalm 51:2-4 Thoroughly wash me, inside and out, of all my crooked deeds. Cleanse me from my sins. For I am fully aware of all I have done wrong, and my guilt is there, staring me in the face. It was against You, only You, that I sinned, for I have done what You say is wrong, right before Your eyes. So when You speak, You are in the right. When You judge, Your judgments are pure and true

Proverbs 28:13-14 Whoever tries to hide his sins will not succeed, but the one who confesses his sins and leaves them behind will find mercy. Happy is the one who always fears the Lord, but the person who hardens his heart to God falls into misfortune.

1 John 1:9-2:1 If we make it our habit to confess our sins, in his faithful righteousness he forgives us for those sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have never sinned, we make him a liar and his word has no place in us. My little children, I’m writing these things to you so that you might not sin. Yet if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus, the Messiah, one who is righteous.

Psalm 103:8-11 The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever. He does not punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve. For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.

James 3:2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.

1 John 1:8 If we say that we do not have any sin, we are deceiving ourselves and we’re not being truthful to ourselves.

Hebrews 10:26-27 If we decide to go on sinning after we have learned the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins. There is nothing but fear in waiting for the judgment and the terrible fire that will destroy all those who live against God.

Galatians 6:7-9 Do not be fooled: You cannot cheat God. People harvest only what they plant. f they plant to satisfy their sinful selves, their sinful selves will bring them ruin. But if they plant to please the Spirit, they will receive eternal life from the Spirit. We must not become tired of doing good. We will receive our harvest of eternal life at the right time if we do not give up.

Proverbs 24:16 Though a righteous man falls seven times, he will get up, but the wicked will stumble into ruin.

James 1:22-24 Do what God’s teaching says; when you only listen and do nothing, you are fooling yourselves. Those who hear God’s teaching and do nothing are like people who look at themselves in a mirror. They see their faces and then go away and quickly forget what they looked like.

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed you fail to meet the test!

Psalm 37:23-24 The steps of a man are established by the LORD, And He delights in his way. When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand.

Job 5:17

“Behold, how happy is the man whom God reproves, So do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.

Psalm 94:12

Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD, And whom You teach out of Your law;

2 Timothy 4:2

preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.

2 Timothy 3:16

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;

Jeremiah 10:24

Correct me, O LORD, but with justice; Not with Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.

Proverbs 3:12

For whom the LORD loves He reproves, Even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights.

Proverbs 29:17

Correct your son, and he will give you comfort; He will also delight your soul.

Proverbs 22:15

Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline will remove it far from him.

Titus 2:15

These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority Let no one disregard you.

Proverbs 23:13

Do not hold back discipline from the child, Although you strike him with the rod, he will not die.

Have a very blessed week in Christ Jesus!

Spring Cleaning in a whole new way 4/23/18

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 15:49:00 -0400

Gooooood Morninnnnnnnnng

Today we are going to discuss what is best termed, “Demon Tossing”, ‘cleaning house; as each person is a vessel and designed to be the receptacle of the Holy Spirit. Actually, this is a good practice 24/7 and 365. Especially as you come across new acquaintances, old friends, even family, immediate and extended.

I am an avid purveyor of good sermons, commentary and in-depth studies of Gods word. Recently, I had an occasion to come across a very knowledgeable and sage messianic Christian prophet. He spoke about demon tossing and it fascinated me, lit a fire under me and reminded me scripturally that we are not only equipped to do this but it’s our responsibility to do so.

Essentially, it can not hurt. If you question someone’s intent, actions, heart etc. Do it. If they are right with God it ‘aint’ going to hurt them or you. If they aren’t right with God, well, it’s going to clean the slate enough for them to turn to the Lord for correction and instruction in righteousness. Moreover, it’s going to debilitate Satans weapons, plans, and pawns. Remember, God hates the sin not the sinner. He wants all His children, His creation set free, undeceived, prosperous, healthy, whole and freely serving Him.

Now, upon learning this and with deep conviction in my heart, I immediately started incorporating it. Later on, a dear Christian Sister, reminded me, do not create a vacuum; remember to call in the Holy Spirit to fill in and inhabit that which you call out and cast down. Bingo, trifecta; command, cast out and call in! Cast out and Pray in for your neighbors, friends, acquaintances, family, even objects. Yes, objects can be negatively charged with demonic spells to influence and cause havoc in your personal life and home.

In Gods word, it says the enemy’s entire focus is to kill, steal and destroy so we need to be ever vigilant and mindful to do what we can. I have worked on this and adapted it, even upgraded it a few times. If the Holy Spirit leads you to add something more, than do it, by all means, the purpose is to invoke Gods dominion over the wickedness and evil running amuck. Here is a sample of what you can speak aloud, to cast out the demonic, unclean spirits.Are you ready to discover How Mighty the Word of God and His authority truly is.

Under the Blood Covenant of the Lamb and

In the Mighty Name of Christ Jesus,
pleading the Blood
over myself and over the parties herewith
mentioned, EVERY UNCLEAN SPIRIT is commanded
to come out __________________ RIGHT NOW,

You Must Come out in the Name of Jesus, RIGHT NOW,
you may not tarry, you may not transfer
you may not return, You are bound and shackled to the pit

in darkness. No further contact or communication is permitted,

You are forbidden any further contact using any device
or any means, for any purpose, for all of eternity. Holy Spirit,
I petition you to fill that heart, to fill that house

to fill that premises, every floor, all four corners, from the foundation

to the rooftop, the air around and everything inbetwixt

I call in a Holy Spirit Fire to cleanse

all wickedness. Right now, Holy Spirit, destroy every

object that is demonically charged, crush every item

that is enchanted or infused with any evil intent, hex, spell

or incantation<all such items are hereby null and void, demolished, cast down

and destroyed by the Authority and Power of Christ Jesus.

Oh Holy Spirit I thank You, that your protection,
love and guidance be the only habitation in that person or those persons

heart, mind, actions, words and deeds,
in the Mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord,
Yehushua Hamashiach Tsidekenu, The Lord our
God, our Righteousness! Calling it done, and done, Amen & Amen!

Remember, God’s word states that He is actively surveying, seeking to follow through on what He has said He will do and we can be sure of it.

Jeremiah 1:12

Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.

Because of this scripture, we are forbidding the unclean spirits we cast out to return but we must do this often, because there are as many unclean spirits as there are people. If the person yopu demon tossed does not turn themselves over to the Lord, they are susceptible to further infestation by new demonic forces. That is why in the casting out statements above, it is important to call in the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 12:43-45

“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”

James 4:7

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Ephesians 6:10-18

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, …

Mark 16:16-18

Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

1 Peter 5:8

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Luke 10:17

The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”

Acts 16:16-18

As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by fortune-telling. She followed Paul and us, crying out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation.” And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And it came out that very hour.

John 14:11-13

Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves. “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

A lesson through experience, God fights our Battles! The Kingdom Overrides (TKO)

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Mon, 9 Apr 2018 15:03:00 -0400

A timely message with a powerful reminder

We know that the evil one is nervous, pitiful, a nasty, no good, sore loser. Yes, he already lost! His end is ironclad, there is no escape for him. To add insult to injury, he wants to destroy and corrupt as much of Gods creation as he can. Just like the rotten, evil scoundrel he is.

He is so powerless, in so many regards. Scripture itself tells us that we have the Lord’s power & authority to overcome the enemies deception and grasp. I know I am not the only one who has either faced attacks on every level, from physical, to financial, to familial.

One thing that comes to my mind is a particular day, a while back. I was on my way to take care of some business. I had about a 20 – 30-minute car ride ahead, as the area I’d be traveling through is thick within town traffic. I decided that on my way there, I would begin praising God for everything in my life. Every car, person, road sign, tree, a scene in the sky, cloud, song, every faculty I possessed, everything I could think of and spot, acknowledge and list. It went on and on and on, I laughed a few times, I even had a few overlapping thoughts as I listed thing after thing, thinking wow, God supports and supplies everything, how amazing that we just do not realize everything is a blessing. This exercise was so invigorating! Even though I spoke aloud for almost 35 minutes straight, I felt great, a little thirsty BUT I mean GREAT, GREAT- GREAT; like I had just received an oxygen boosted cocktail.

Later on, on my way to leave the area. Something bad happened. It was a setback but I can see in the spirit that what I did before I got there helped to mitigate the damage. It could have been, should have been, so much worse. You see the enemy wants us so focused on whats wrong, that we ignore our power, forget about our blessings, overlook our opportunities. We have the power to knock him out, to thwart him, to put him back in his powerless place. Do not give him a foothold.

Imagine you have a weapon, and you are going to load that weapon with ammunition. The ammo is praise and worship. Imagine a force field, it is powered and activated through gratitude and thanksgiving. Employ both fo these things and you are fully protected.

TKO stands for Total Knock Out but remember this for your day to day struggles….The Kingdom Overrides (TKO)

Matthew 4:10-11
¹⁰ Then Jesus said to him, “Begone, Satan! For it is written,
“‘You shall worship the Lord your God
and Him only shall you serve.’”
¹¹ Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.

Luke 10:16 He who hears you, hears me…

1 Corinthians 1:18 For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”

Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation…

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

PRAISE AS A SPIRITUAL WEAPON

2 Chron. 20:1
It happened after this that the people of Moab with the people of Ammon, and others with them besides the Ammonites, came to battle against Jehoshaphat.

2 Chron. 20:15 And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ’Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

2 Chron. 20:17 You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.”

2 Chron. 20:21-25 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying:

“Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever.”

[22] Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. [23] For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another. [24] So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped. [25] When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil, they found among them an abundance of valuables on the dead bodies, and precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much.

Spiritual Implication:
Praise lifts your eyes from the battle to the victory, for Christ is already(excerpt from http://www.sermoncentral.com/sermons/how-praise-can-be-a-weapon-in-spiritual-warfare-timothy-lee-sermon-on-worship-benefits-71161.asp )

Audible and visual interference is no match for Gods anointed 3/26/18

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Tue, 27 Mar 2018 07:41:00 -0400

Sometimes we are allowed to experience physical representations of actual spiritual lessons and training. The ultimate goal of that is to empower you and quicken you to quickly discerning Gods will, leading to immediate obedience and action.

When the storms of life come, they are sometimes swift, unrelenting, disorienting. We have to know where our true north is. If the lights are out and the ground is now moving, your physical senses will fail you. Many times, instinct activates the carnal but the battle is won with spiritual prowess.

We need not be worried or dismayed, scripture tells us that Our Lord is ever cognizant of our location and proximity we are under divine surveillance. It also reminds us that we know His voice, He is our good shepherd. Trust and an understanding of whats at your disposal is what’s needed.

Knowing how to access that and when to, is vital. God is always present where our praises are. It’s evident then, as we wield our swords and lift the shields that we do so with His Magnificent name upon our lips, incessantly, unwavering, ever praising. Praising and thanking, thanking and praising, this turns the murky waters clear, levels the field, exposes the traps, encamps the wicked and exposes the enemy.

“You’re going to face a powerful, invisible enemy every day-the Devil. …Put on your body armor and be prepared to fight him and his demonic hosts. Put on every piece of your battle dress” (Ephesians 6:10-20).

“Stand…having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God; praying always. . . .” (verses 14-18)
John 10:27-28
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Genesis 28:15 – “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”Psalm 32:8 – I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

Proverbs 15:3 – The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.

Deuteronomy 32:10 – In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eye.

Psalm 32:8 – I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

Proverbs 15:3 – The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good.

Deuteronomy 32:10 – In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eye.

Steps, moves and maneuvers 3/5/18

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Mon, 5 Mar 2018 09:06:00 -0500

Have you ever been so caught up in a whirlwind that you later realized, wow…I was protected over here in this direction, not even knowing what potential was brewing because you were distracted looking over there?!. That just has to show you how faithful and awesome God really is!

This is a definitive time frame of upheaval for so many. The enemy surely wants us to feel off balance, uneasy, unsure. More than ever we have to stand firm. With our feet planted and our faces like a flint. Standing fast against the enemy, unmoved.

Doors are opening that no man can shut and God is surely placing blockades of prevention, as only He can, against the plans of the enemy. When God shuts a door, its not a door anymore. He is thorough, staunch and impenetrable when its necessary.

I’ve seen significance in humility, honor & integrity. In the absence of those characteristics one finds dismissive haughtiness, power struggles and calculated interactions. Surely, the sign posts of hazardous conditions ahead and treacherous storms to line the path. Even so, our God sees afar off, even when our radar is off. How comforting to realize, He stands behind us, goes before us and walks alongside.

I fear not because I know that, I obey, surrender and trust. I enter into His rest, my strong-tower is ever before me, to encompass me, to embrace me, under His cloak I may find solace. On the chess board of life, it might seem for a moment that we are exposed or vulnerable but our Heavenly Father is several moves ahead lining up the perfect check mate. He is the King and always will defend His Queen, His precious beloved.

Matthew 6:8

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Proverbs 18:10

The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Psalm 61:3

For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

Psalm 75

75 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

²When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

³The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.

⁴I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

⁵Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

⁶For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.

⁷But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

⁸For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.

⁹But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

¹⁰All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

Revelation 3:7-13

⁷And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

⁸I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

⁹Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

¹⁰Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

¹¹Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

¹²Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

¹³He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

The Fathers Love 2/5/18

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Mon, 5 Feb 2018 22:43:00 -0500

Life has a funny way of throwing you a curve ball. I spent the last two months in a state of psuedo -numbness. My brothers passing really affected me so greatly. Part of me felt like he was the only one person left to have been witness to all that I have been through, all that our family has been through. Someone who has known me since before I could speak. He too had been through so much, how could I deny that his going home to be with God is such a blessing for him. My connections to this world feel like they are dwindling and is that a bad thing? In my heart deep down, I just want Heaven. I want Jesus to come and for all of us to finally go home!

I had been feeling down, worn out, affected and broken. I was just longing for another encounter with the Lord. Needing His touch, His voice, His comfort. As I lay there, watching a prophet of God talk about how God sings over us. He starting singing this song, it really touched me, it was as if God himself was singing it to me, tears started to flow. Near the end of his sermon, he stated that he felt that even as he had just sang, that he believed God was going to be singing over us tonight and that some of us would even have encounters, where we could hear it. Just as he was saying this, my ALEXA device , which I keep on my nightstand, initialized and begin to play “top christian music” . I was beyond blown away, knowing instantly this was God, getting my attention. I lowered the volume on the TV and wept as I listened. I soaked, I marvelled, I melted in the realization

This was the first three songs as they played….

1. Its not over Yet by King & Country

2. Your Love is Loyal – Lauren Daigle

3. Whm Shall I fear – Chris Tomlin

These songs just so ministered to my spirit, it was so amazing. There was another song that I have never heard before and I cant really remember it but at this point I was drifting off to sleep. I was so enveloped in His love, it was magnificent.

He desperately wants each of us to know how deeply in love with each of us that He is. Sometimes, the world we live in and the things we are exposed to dull His voice and His singing over us. The noise of this world can sometimes override His soft gentle voice but He never stops, never tires and never forfeits His position as our Father. He truly is Loyal!

I still want Heaven and I would say to this world my bags are packed! When that time comes I am so ready! I know though, as God spoke to my spirit that it is not over yet. There is more to be done, more experiences to be had, a deeper awakening for this world, greater impartations, gifts and anointings. I have been put in place for such a time as this for His glory and His harvest.

Heavenly Father, I pray and plead the blood of the lamb protection over me and mine, over everone who reads this. Lord, I ask that You give all Your children a similar encounter, a moment of extreme intimacy where there is no doubt in reason, in the natural or in the supernatural that it was You, the Almighty, so wonderful and might,y so all knowing and all encompassing. No denying, no explanations, just total perfection of timing and content that it is beyond, evident that it is YOU in that moment. I thank you Lord that you love me that much that you would bend down into my experience in such a way. It was exactly what I needed in that moment and I am forever grateful!AMEN

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 15:9-17 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.

Romans 5:8 God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:2-5 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Romans 8:37-39 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.

Ephesians 2:4-5 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved.

1 John 3:1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

1 John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

1 John 4:9-11 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

What could be blocking your blessings? 1/29/18

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Mon, 29 Jan 2018 11:28:00 -0500

I had been watching a program recently, the topic was about coveting and wanting to take what is not yours. Obviously, this is forbidden. There is a commandment against this. I had spent an hour prior to this, speaking in tongues as I had been studying how doing this would allow me to pray perfectly, to step into greater impartation from God, deeper revelation and discernment. All of a sudden, the Holy Spirit revealed to me, that Yes, just as we are not to take what does not belong to us, we are to take what does! God’s word says we suffer from lack of knowledge. (Hosea 4:6) & (James 4:2-3) We have not because we ask no

Whta you are about to be exposed to is an investment in time, but so very worth it. The material below will reveal to you just how the enemy has been able to keep you from what is rightfully yours.

So what is it that is ours? Well, the list is innumerable, where to begin?! Let’s start with every blessing that was meant for you, that raise that was denied you, that item that was stolen from you, those years that the cankerworm destroyed. Everything that is done in darkness against you to keep you from God’s prosperity. Then we have the fruits of the spirit and the rightful inheritance of being in the grafted in bloodline, our pedigree blessing: Watch this video

So right there we need to have knowledge of what is OURS

Then, we have the blessings that are prevented from coming our way, sometimes by pure ignorance. We are so immersed in the patterns of this wicked world, when those hindrances are removed, we stand in direct line to receive everything that God has for us.

Download

Lastly, I was instructed on the importance of “naming my seed” as I am faithful in the giving but had been lax in the keeping track of what was sewn and what harvest to expect.

Read this excerpt from: http://www.cfaith.com/index.php/blog/28-articles/prosperity/16740-name-your-seed-sow-itdont-throw-it :

Let Me tell you something, Jesse. For years you never named your seed.

He was right. I didn’t know how many times I had given gifts – sometimes quite large gifts for me – in obedience to the Lord. Then months later, I would be walking past great fields of harvest that I didn’t know were mine. I would see harvests everywhere and think: God, this is what I need for my ministry.

Because I didn’t know what kind of seed I had sown, I didn’t know what kind of harvest to expect. I didn’t know I was walking past my harvests. As a result, the devil was able to control what belonged to me. He was standing by those harvests with his guards saying, “That’s not yours. This is the wealth of the wicked. You are the just.”

Satan was able to do it because I never named my seed. I didn’t know what I put in the ground, so how was I to know when it came back 30, 60, or 100-fold?

Sown or Thrown?
I was not operating according to a basic principle – sowing and reaping. Galatians 6:7 says, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

“Whatsoever” you put in the ground is going to come up. “Whatsoever” encompasses all human activity. All our acts are forces. Every time we think, every time we feel, every time we exercise our will, we are sowing. So we have to consider our ways and give thought to what we are sowing. If you consider what you are sowing, then you will recognize your harvest.

What you sow is what you reap is the law of Genesis 1:12, that every seed reproduces after its kind: “And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

All of life, everything you do, is a process of sowing. You sow clothes, you get clothes. You sow healing, you get healing. I told a lady one time, “I want to pray for you so I can feel better.”

“No, you mean so I can feel better.”

“No, so I can feel better,” I said. After I prayed for her, I said, “Oh, I feel better.”

“So do I,” she said.

“Go sow. Go sow,” I said. “More health will come to you.”

Understand what tithing does. It meets the general operating expense of the church, such as salaries, light bills and upkeep. When you brought meat to God’s house, that meat met the necessities of God’s house. Because you met the necessities of God’s house, you harvested provision to meet the necessities of your house.

But when you gave an offering above the tithe without naming it, you were throwing it instead of sowing it, and you lost it before you got out the door. You would see a need and throw money at it, not even thinking about naming the type of seed you were sowing or naming your harvest. That seed would land on top of the ground and before you got out the church door, the devil would steal it.

So, you were eating and paying the light bill, but you continued to face the loan payments. That’s not what God wants. He wants His people to be blessed. He wants His Church to be out of debt. The Church will be out of debt when the people are out of debt. Deception has kept God’s people without their full entitlement.

Thank you Lord. I pray and plead the blood of the Lamb protection over me and mine, over all of us , Your children. Lord help us to discern this wisdom, to protect our blessings and to claim what is rightfully ours. Lord, remind us to name our seed and to expect a bountiful harvest. Encourage us to give as we are called to, cheerfully. Lord, help us to be a blessing to as many as possible and Lord, help us to sever any unhealthy ties that might exist in our lives with the principalities of Baal. Cleanse us and restore us, lead s into our divine inheritance. In the Mighty name of Yehushua Hamashiach, Jesus Christ our Lord! AMEN

In the storm not the rainbow!

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Mon, 15 Jan 2018 20:36:00 -0500

We are instructed to praise Him in the Storm! In the very midst of heartache, troubles and calamity. This is where our alms derive equity and power.

Its very easy to give thanks after something has favorably been turned in your direction. God wants to see our faith and our commitment to Him no matter how the circumstances may appear. He can turn any bad event right around and can just as easily pull forward a blessing from the worst of situations.

I like to call it, ‘saying the truth in advance’. Example. “Thank you Father that you go before me in all matters, including this one, and that this is all part of the plan to bring to me what is needed. Nothing escapes Your eye, and no good thing shall be withheld. I praise You Lord that I am not forgotten, I am not ashamed and I am not alone. You are my rock, my fortress, my deliver, my strong tower and my provider.”

It is possible, and most often very much the case, that our situation is a perfect set up, a scenario and a backdrop for those who grab front row seats to watch us squirm. Well, God has the final say so, and the Holy Spirit uses some situations to deliver powerful testimonies of unbelievable proportions to the reprobate. Those individuals who have been turned over to themselves, with their sins and their rebellion. There is no guarantee that your miraculous event will convert them, but that’s not your issue to worry over. You are either a witness against or a witness to. How awesome though to be used for His glory and quite possibly someone’s salvation.

It is my opinion that anyone who is seeking to gain access to the front row of my demise out to put in for a refund asap, and that means you, lucifer!

The bigger the problem the grander the miracle. God does not orchestrate the foibles but He does promise to use them, someway, somehow to our advantage. We must just know and trust that as fact. The devils only power to hurt God is to somehow hurt us. We see in scripture though, that even when that happens, God remands the devil to pay seven times greater for our losses.

God, You are so good to us, its astounding. Such provision, such sacrifice and all for our benefit. As unworthy as we are, You are so merciful. Oh how you must Love us!

Heavenly Father, I pray and plead the blood of the lamb protection over me and mine, over you and yours and over everyone connected to this and through this. Thank you Lord that You send Your servant forward, in a multitude of ways. That You also draw those to Your will and way daily. Thank you Lord that the Holy Spirit is speaking to someone right now, assuring them that this is not over and that even though it seems grim, it is not the final curtain call. This is simply the stage set for a Grand Miracle of epic design. Praise it forward and Lord, take all the credit, while winning souls for the Kingdom! AMEN

Proverbs 6:31

But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

Psalm 34King James Version (KJV)

34 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

²My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

³O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

⁴I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

⁸O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

⁹O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

¹⁰The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.

¹¹Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

¹²What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?

¹³Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

¹⁴Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

¹⁵The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

¹⁶The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

¹⁷The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

¹⁸The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

¹⁹Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

²⁰He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

²¹Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

²²The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

James 1:2

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Hebrews 13:15

Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

Psalm 23:4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Psalm 34:1-22

Of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away. I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together! I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed. …

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

Psalm 119:164

Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous rules.

Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise.

John 3:16-17

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Authority and validation (revisited from 12/19/11)

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Tue, 9 Jan 2018 04:04:00 -0500

Goooood Morninnnnnnnnnnng!

Does the Sun need to be validated in order to shine brightly, isnt its presence enough? ..

I recall an occassion some years back; I was conversing with a group of friends and acquaintances, each was sharing valuable insights, stories &; assorted tidbits of information. A particular subject arose that I had measurable insight on, as I proceeded to speak, sharing what I knew; I was essentially called onto the carpet by someone to validate my words. Essentially what was said was that I speak with such Authority on things that a person might be inclined to just take what I say as fact regardless of whether or not it was valid. Yes, it was sort of insulting but I chose to address the real issue. I asked a few pointed questions, starting with; (1.) Have you ever known me to intentionally mislead anyone?…The answer, “No, you tend to take people under your wing, wanting to protect them”…I shook my head in agreement. Next, I asked, “Other than when I have something really amazing to share do you find me wrestling to dominate a conversation?”, The answer again was…”NO, not at all, you are a great listener”…By now my leading questions agitated this person enough that they rebutted with, “Well, if what you say is true, who and what entity is the source, from where did you learn it?” I said; “Sometimes in life, the edification of actionable truth is more valuable than the pursuit of a validating the confined origin. Take what I say away with you and kick the tires a bit, you’ll come to find the soundness and solidity of it” For whatever reason God spoke through me in that and the issue was dropped.

Job 32:8
8But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

Contrary to what was suggested; I am a huge proponent of validating, cross-referencing, finding a solid footing to anchor a belief. There are some things that come to your knowledge by the spirit of God in an instant, where you don’t know how you know it, how it arrived other than the instant it clicks in your spirit. It is from this place where I had been speaking. It is the counterpoint of human intellect and a personal responsibility toward what is given and try it, search it out, ask for revelation, prove it right or wrong or just sit with it a bit and let God reveal the message with further confirmations in mind/soul/spirit.

I’ve always been what I would call the Ultimate Optimist, I have a great ability to imagine, dream and desire the best possible outcome. When faced with the opposite, in fact, it just assures me that it THEREFORE MUST EXIST, simply based on the principle that if there is an obvious down, there is also an up, even if it hasn’t shown yet. This world is temporal, a place of degrees and axioms.

The message that God has spoken so deeply on a level where words never even entered but only assured knowing is this, our experiences here are coming to a place of quickening; where thoughts become manifest, desires and dreams will drive up upon you, honking the horn, Impossible for some will be possible for others (for those who never dared to un-believe in them) limitations will be self-induced prisons and the Children of God will be Casting out devils from those who have given themselves over to wrongful thoughts &; actions/ Healing the sick for those who fear disease so deeply that they manifest it &; Moving Mountains out of the way for those who have built them with negative thoughts. All of these things will hinge upon harnessing God’s power, for those in close communion, full obedience and an eye on Zion!

John 14:12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

1 Peter 2:6 Therefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded.

(Paraphrased excerpt from Matthew 10:1 and Luke 9:1-2)
“Behold I give you authority over all the power of the enemy–over all the
powers of the devil–over all the powers of hell–over every diabolical spirit or
demon.”

The instruction here from the Lord is to get very familiar with His word, it is the gateway to the fulfillment of every promise and every possibility. Faith is substance: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.~ Hebrews 11:1

As we believe, we shall receive, in accordance with Gods will!

Phillipians 4:8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Abba Father, we seek your Divine Guidance here on this subject; we are at a crossroads between the needs that we face and the solutions that we are willing to accept. Help us to stretch far beyond our limitations to believe upon those things which bring life, health and joy. Help us to shun the imaginings of every odd and weird thing that pertains to darkness and the what if’s of life. Help us turn our imaginations to believe upon All things possible within your Will and the Kingdom. In Jesus Mighty and precious name AMEN

Are you the one or of the 99?

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Tue, 2 Jan 2018 06:02:00 -0500

It has been a long hiatus of sorts. a mental and spiritual regrouping. 2017 proved to be a very challenging year on many fronts. First, unforeseeable circumstances nearly claimed my life. This caused me to retract a bit and focus on my physical needs. I have made a promise to myself to honor my instincts and be kind to myself in every way possible. Easier said than done, especially for a woman like myself who was taught to fight through. One of the reasons why I am still here is because of my tenacity. But then I realize, NO…thats my attitude (under my control) but my presence is fully purchased by grace. I am still here and I survived because God has ordained that. It is because my mission is not yet fulfilled. Otherwise, there are a host of reasons that could have, should have, would have wiped me out, but it was God who did not allow that, it’s just that simple.

My dear brother passed away a week before Thanksgiving. This kind and gentle man had so many struggles in his life. It’s hard not to miss him but I know in my heart of hearts that he is with Jesus, enjoying the eternal glory we are all promised when we surrender to the Lord. He loved Jesus and longed for heaven as I do. I am so glad that he has peace and happiness which he so very much deserves. His passing really rocked my world. It is just so much more different than losing a parent (which I and my siblings lost both of our parents). It caused me to really focus on the eternal. This place we know of as heaven but really do not fully comprehend.

From what I do know, so many of my most cherished loved ones are there. More importantly, Jesus; the one who makes it all possible is there. I want it more than anything else I can think of. If only I could expedite the process. In my heart of hearts I just wish and pray that every human being alive would just accept the Lord so that we could all just go home already! Oh, if it were only just that easy! Prayers they will not cease, and witnessing, that will continue for anyone willing to examine my demeanor or ask of my assistance, I readily will show Jesus to them, in my actions and in my love. Words are important, as long as they back up what we exhibit. Whatever else, whatever the Lord leads me to, in an effort to fulfill the hurrying and not the hastening of His coming. that is what I pray for.

I read somewhere that there are just 7 degrees of separation between us and every other person on this planet. If we would all just fervently pray over OUR CIRCLES OF INFLUENCE, the percentage, God is faithful to fulfill His promises. Ask and it is given, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.

The passing of my brother caused me to reflect so deeply. this poem is probably the closest thing to describe how I feel. There is a longing in my soul that nothing in this world can cure, except Jesus! I just want us all to go home!

Please help me go HOME for Christmas
join me if you’ve no place to go

Its wonderful, joyous and bright
with love, full of praise and delight

Family and friends are all waiting
our neighbors and pets will all sing

The Joy and the beauty of Christmas
A place unlike any you’ve been

The only way we can get there
My Father, He needs you to care

Wouldnt be Christmas without you
Important you are, it’s so true

Yield to the Master, silent and still
ask Him to forgive and He surely will

Accept His love to become anew
that is all that you ever need do

Finally, all together at last
Pain and hurt to be things of the past

Jesus, Savior, God’s heavenly dove
Gifts never ending, laughter and love

Unending, unfolding evermore
Unlike this here or ever before

Come! You ready?! Let’s all plan to go
HOME is really just HEAVEN you know!

Get that like a real book experience with PageFlip5

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Sun, 15 Oct 2017 19:32:00 -0400

I am a huge proponent of supporting the DREAM, not only my own dreams but especially those of the ones God has placed in my life. I believe that we are all, always drawn to those circumstances and situations where we can serve, learn and grow. It is important to meet those opportunities with our very best.

A sister in Christ, whom I have had the pleasure of working with on another project, contacted me seeking assistance. I was very honored to have been asked and very interested in doing what I can to help advance her vision for a very small but important music book concept that she explained, for leading people to the Lord through some incredible artists and their gifts.

She had a demonstration version online that I was able to access, as she was planning on printing off a professional hardcover version through a specific site designed for vanity publishing. I was able to take print screens of her pages and save them as image files, so that I could work with them.

My endeavor was to assemble the few pages into a PDF that she could successfully share with countless others in a cost-effective way. Sure, the printed version she was preparing to make would be great but I knew she wanted to share it beyond just the few whom would get such a costly but tangible, professionally bound book.

I set out, created the ebook and then we realized, how nice it would be if the finished digital version could display like a book and even flip like a real book would. An authentic book like experience but still a digital ebook. PDF does not do this. That was the finishing touch I wanted so so much to be able to offer.

I immediately went online and started searching. I came across PageFlip5 and it was as if the heavens parted. This handy tool would do nicely. Perfectly and precisely, exactly what I was looking for.

Not only is it easy and function the way we wanted but it is also web friendly. We had talked about the potential of having this book readily available on the web, with PageFlip5 you can serve and share your book on your own website as well as through theirs.

What a great solution for anyone looking to have their content stand out. Whether it be images or literature or what have you, you should consider using this service and tool. http://ift.tt/1jVPpl9

Obedience and preservation 9/25/17

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Mon, 25 Sep 2017 07:58:00 -0400

Preservation is a byproduct of obedience. You can learn this fast as through one lesson or through repetition until you get it. Betterment is His promise to us, as He sorts & surveys our comprehension of this.

When we are so fully in faith of belief that we surrender peacefully to God’s provisions and plans over us. Far better is that which He arranges than that which we might pick, thinking we know better.

Not to say that He doesn’t inspire and invite us to dream big, or specific, for surely, He does. It is just a small adjustment but a pivotal one, where we recognize what we desire is also pleasing to God. It’s when we have those noble and notable notions, those are the ones worth actualizing.

At a certain time in recent history, it was popular to find with, when you would buy a pricey garment or gadget, it would come with aproof of quality inspection . There would typically be an insert, a slip, a note, or sticker which read inspected by a signatue a number or both.

This offered pereceived value, if not peace of mind. After all, that little confirmation carried a weight of expectation. Surely, if it passed inspection it is of good quality for me?! A likely supposition. We put an ounce of confidence in it, before even establishing whether it is a sound fact.

Does not faith require of us, just such trust?! When we send everything through God’s sort and sift, surveyor belt, we have nothing but the best of results. Filtered, fantastic and infinite!Look to God in all matters. With Him as a business advisor, encourager, life coach, magistrate, provision source, public relations liaison and the list goes on. The spirit is always communicating. Let God speak over your life. When you have your confession triangulated off of His word, that is an angle of untold benefits.

God also offers His little signs and signals, that His mighty hand was responsible. I personally love those ahahhh moments. In fact, that is the case with every outcome that occurs to His children. Sometimes, we are able to see the progression or the full circle, other times it is merely putting it up for the future. Our Father offers more than preservation, He also delights in helping us thrive.

Heavenly Father, I pray and plead the blood of the lamb protection over me and mine, over everyone and theirs, especially our precious sisters and brothers in Christ, as well as all connected to us and through us. Lord, thank You for Your faithfulness. These constants and truths are a tremendous source of confidence with formidable reinforcements. ‘With thee for me’, ‘all things are possible’. Remind us Oh Lord to speak over our circumstances. Lord, as we wish them to be handled through You, that means solid and sound on both fronts, the seen and the unseen.

Temporary Hiatus 3/27/17

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Mon, 27 Mar 2017 16:07:00 -0400

Please keep me in your prayers, I will be taking a temporary hiatus in order to heal. Please stay tuned, I hope to back in full swing in a week or two. In the meanwhile I am happy to share a testimony of Gods goodness as He sustained me through a very serious health crisis.

How much of a testimony is it when the Medical professionals say, by all rights, you should have been dead with such a situation going on in your body and they scratch their heads in disbelief!?

March 22 at 10:24pm ·

So….a few years back I was at a local store and met this wonderful lady, we had instant rapport. We spoke a few times and emailed a few times and then communications ended (life throws us curve balls; shortly after meeting her I broke my leg and was out of commission for 8 to 10 months.)….

Fast forward to Saturday. I am hospitalized and admitted. They send me up to a room and tell me I will be having a roommate shortly. So as they are prepairing the space for her, I meet this wonderful lady. She is a Mighty woman of faith and we get along instantly. She asks about my church and our minds are blown as she tells me, I have been there…I love that church. She knows many of the same folks.
One day becomes two, then two days becomes 3 and then 4 days. All the while, we are encouraging each other, looking out for each other, sharing experiences, praying together and ministering to each other. (Many many times when I was in bad shape she was feeling ok and vice versa., when she was having a hard time, the spirit gave me the words and we were able to help each other as many things were trying to come up against us.)

We just knew that we wanted to stay in touch so before either one of us might be released we shared emails and then I gave her my number so she could call my phone (so this way we would both have each others number). Low and behold, as she is calling me, I see a name pop up along with the number. …OMGOSH how is she already a saved contact in my phone?!…the two of us in tandem, encounter Instant recollection of that brief meeting a few years back. Talk about mind blowing, God appointed stuff! It was pure elation over How amazing our God is. How He places things in our path to let us know that nothing escapes Him and that He is always at work, working everything together for our benefit.

We both found this very encouraging. We each had moments where things didn’t seem to be going right at all, in fact, we both had situations where the prognosis that seemed to be trying to unfold before us and over us was not to either of our liking. We both stood on our faith and pressed in, for our favorable outcomes. These things that occurred can be dealt with now and are being treated. Thank You God for Your Divine Mercy and Grace that sustained us and brought us through our dark hours.

One thing the spirit gave me, is that Jesus never let himself down off that cross in order to PROVE to us that He also would never let us down as Christ, our Eternal Savior. The work He did that day covers us and permits us to thrust our burdens over in complete faith with a peace that surpasses all understanding.

Thank You God that you would be mindful of us to such extent. Thank you for placing me with this wonderful sister and friend. Thank You for sparing us from the ‘what ifs’ and ‘could have beens’!

And Thank You God, that You are glorified and empowered through our weaknesses. Please help us going forward as You so magnanimously do!

I had the God gifted pleasure of meeting this woman, and then was reunited with her at the hospital where we shared a room. We both discovered that we each write poetry, minister the word of the Lord, and have both created prophetic videos. She shared hers with me and IT IS SO POWERFUL….
WATCH THIS TIL THE END and BE BLESSED AS I WAS! This video blew me away and was so impactful

God is faithful 3/13/17

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 12:11:00 -0400

GOD IS FAITHFUL! (revisited from 2/2012)

Isa 55:11

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (KJV)

What does that mean? How can we view this & fully absorb the impact? Trust, Loyalty and Confidence have become commodities instead of virtues. Everyone has been touched by it, to some degree along the line; betrayal of a friend, disloyalty of a spouse! Confidences broken, abandonment, abuse, selfishness, fear, doubt, misguided intentions. People who lie to themselves will most assuredly have a hard time maintaining integrity in interpersonal relationships with others. Most of these people operate under a mode of conduct induced by some hurt or betrayal that they themselves had befallen.

Yet, in other things, we give trust away so easily, especially when we are invested in the outcome. We want a certain thing so badly that the slightest hint that we might obtain it, we are ready to sign at the dotted line. When you order food at a restaurant, no one sits there & questions; “Are they really going to bring it”, “Am I good enough to be served what I asked for?” Misplaced trust? YES, absolutely! We should only have as much comfortable confidence in God’s promises! He is so far above our limited viewpoint, knowing every variable, every potential outcome, every lesson assigned and the tolerances of each of us. Like that expression; “When you are down to nothing, God is up to something!” Every bad event a christian faces, God promises to FAITHFULLY rework it into a blessing. Whatever happens is due to His Grace, whatever doesn’t happen is due to His Mercy, whatever eventually happens is due to His dominion!

Romans 8:28

28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

The world wants it to show before they will go. God wants us to Trust before he delivers …it’s a must! Faith is like a down payment, recorded and ordered, a contract between the Great I AM and little ol’ You! If we can just learn to look at it with our spiritual eyes, looking into His word, His character, His abilities; we would then see that NOTHING is impossible, goes un-noticed or slips through the cracks! Its as simple as that! It is SOUND BIBLICAL TRUTH & just because YOUR evidence hasn’t arrived yet, that doesn’t define, limit or prohibit God. It will come to pass! Every promise He makes, will come to pass! If He told you He will bless your seed and save your whole household, its a done deal! If He told you every tear you shed is collected, stored and recorded, you can bank on it!

Acts 16:13

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Psalm 56:8

8 You keep track of all my sorrows.

You have collected all my tears in your bottle.

You have recorded each one in your book.

Our requests should always be in alignment with what God says is right and true. Remember the principle of reaping what you sew! Get familiar with the many promises that God has for us! The Bible is choc full of them!

Lord, please help us, to have BOLD, CONFIDENT FAITH, teach us how to cultivate it, remind us to place that token of trust in the well of eternal life! Lift us up in our moments of doubt and direct us toward recollection of Your Greatness! For all of Heaven and Earth shall pass away except for Your words! We can thrust our prayers, concerns, worries and needs upon YOU. Only You are able, Only YOU can & will come through for us! Thank You Lord, for the many promises and blessing you have bestowed upon us, For the work You performed on our behalf, securing the rights to every one of Father God’s Plans and Hopes for us!

“Jesus never let Himself down OFF THAT CROSS to PROVE to us

that He would never let US DOWN!”~ smz ™ © ®

Matthew 24:35

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.

You matter because of who made you 2/27/17

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Mon, 27 Feb 2017 13:05:00 -0500

There are two types of reality, that of the world, your flesh and that of eternity, your spiritual self. Most people seem to think that the flesh, that the human body is all there is?! They focus more on the repercussions of this physical existence not realizing God created every human being to exist for all eternity. That means when you leave this world only the flesh passes away, you have an eternal destination for that soul! Either redeemed or removed from the presence of God, each a result of personal choice & belief!

Did you know that all of the water that is on this planet has always been on this planet?! Because of our atmosphere, there is no where for it to go. It rains down, absorbs into the ground, evaporates back up into the atmosphere, forms rain clouds in a complex, yet simple cycle. Did you know there is a river of living water in heaven, (REV 22:1)?! I believe it is the water that Jesus collects from our tears (Psalm 56:8) along with the water that flowed from His side (John 19:34). Our human body is mostly water, which I also find interesting too.

To help you grasp the “shift in thinking”, what’s greater, the drill or the electricity which flows through it? We are vessels, our time & position in this place is like that of a tool, our bodies were given to us so that our spirit could have physical experiences in this realm. You are a spirit inhabiting a body, for a season. Who we are and what we are, is really two separate things! Who we are, is a result of sin being passed down through the free will disobedience of our first human ancestors. What we are, is an eternal entity having a temporary carnal experience. We are solely the property of God yet He gifts us free will. Our very breathe is issued from the mandate of His authority and was fully supplied by His initial breath of life. (See Genesis 2:7)

If we plant a seed, do we not fully expect for it to grow?! We see the picture of what the seed is to become and fully ecpect that is what it wil be. We need to plant some eternal seeds, that yield in God’s season! Eternal fruit is the result of every thing sewn in obedience to Him. Now more than ever people need to plant seeds of kindness, forgiveness, service, mercy & faith. You may feel like a lonely drop of water, BUT you are part of Gods Eternal Ocean, YOU COUNT, that’s why God chose to create you!

If you have good ideas, go water them. Almighty Lord, we ask that You give increase to every one of our suitable notions and lead us into the greatness You have designed for us in Service and Praise to our Almighty King, Lord & Savior, Your Son Jesus Christ AMEN!

Rev 22:1

And he shewed me a pure river of living water, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

Psalm 56:8

You keep track of all my sorrows.[a] You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.

John 19:34

But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

Genesis 2:7

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

John 7:38

He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.

GODfidence, the confidence that God provides (revisited from 3-12-12)

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Tue, 7 Feb 2017 00:05:00 -0500

Gooood Morninnnnnnng, IT’S TIME TO BUILD YOUR GOD ESTEEM!……..

You might be asking yourself, what is God Esteem? …and How does one obtain it? Let’s begin by defining it.

GOD – ESTEEM:…Looking to God for every form of validation; acceptance, encouragement, love, self-worth, significance, value. Redefining self-worth based on Biblical principals, rooted in practical applications, such as; small actions, small choices, small incremental advances but done consistently! Over time as you train your mind & your emotions to NOT REACT, but rather to recreate new realities that come into alignment with His word, thus, everything begins to change! Our attitude & outlook effects our choices & decisions. Our decisions & actions affect our outcome! When all of these variables are filtered through His will for your life, you will be under His Divine overshadowing!

SELF DEFEATING: …Let’s redefine the term, “Self-defeating” and discover the common misnomer associated with accepting total responsibility for these thoughts, behaviors & actions. Yes, we are partly responsible for them, in accepting them, in acting out upon them, in resigning to them BUT we need to recognize who the Author of wrong thinking truly is. Satan has the ability to speak to us in our own voice internally, mimicking us; in an attempt to gain access to your subconscious. He is the voice that speaks bad, negative, defeating words to your inner self. When you listen to this voice, especially when you are down or have failed at something, you secretly agree with the words, the put-downs and the insults. He tends to mock, he makes you think and fear that people don’t like you, that you are not good enough, strong enough, capable enough! This voice within is certainly not God, and it is certainly not You, until of course you begin adopting this way of thinking. This way of thinking is adopted whenever you give into those “suggestions” placed by the enemy. Those who are abused become abusive, those who are hurting end up inflicting pain…whether the condemning words come from without or within, we must reject the works of darkness.

James 2:13

because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment! James 5:19-20 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; 20Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

There is a way to recognize the difference between inner conflict that arises from our conscience verses inner battery caused by Satan’s attempts to keep us down, trying to keep you in a pattern of bad feelings, choices and results! Once you are aware that this is a serious reality, you will begin to pay closer attention the dialogue that transpires between your ears! When something begins to make you feel bad, low and ugly…(ask God to reveal the truth to you)! God does not belittle us, God does not speak words of condemnation to you inwardly! Yes, the word of God, the Bible clearly explains risks and results of wrongful lifestyles and beliefs, but God does not talk down to us, He does not speak demoralizing words. He is the God of Mercy and the God of Grace! If God tells us in the Bible how to conduct ourselves toward others, it is safe to also conclude that His spirit would also never inflict such demoralizing attacks on us. (Eph 4:29)

Ephesians 4:29

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Whenever you are being spoken to by the dark one, you will always (most certainly) hear a voice that explains to you some sort of twisted justification. The entire focus will be on how bad you feel, how unfair it is and how easy it is to just accept the defeat! The voice of this abusive spirit can and will try to convince you that you are deserving of the outcome and that it is all your fault. No matter what the conflict is, it always seems to hinge upon struggles that you have had for years, this is because he knows where you are weakest and he kicks you when you are down!

Whenever the Holy Spirit (pricks our conscience) the overwhelming truth and KEY FACTOR you need to remember is that you will always without question be offered an encouragement to amend your wrongful actions. You will always be met with the embrace of grace & some measure of empathy for someone with whom you have dealt wrongly. You will get the sensation that your reparation is a good thing and that even though you can not undo whatever was done, you can correct it from happening again. The Spirit encourages us, it offers us hope and it allows you to feel good about your growth!

Listen only to God’s words about your character, look only to God for approval, seek only God’ for direction, acceptance and find encouragement in doing the virtuous things, even if you are the only one that seems to value them! Recognize that in doing that, Our Father in Heaven rejoices over us! We must allow God to define us and refine us!

THE VOICE OF TRUTH (Casting Crowns) LISTEN NOW:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKnBcCdnXyg

Dara Maclean – Free

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IHaLpcpBxs&feature=share

Heavenly Father, help us to know what you value, help us to see ourselves in an appropriate way that honors and glorifies our walk, discipleship, advancements and humanness. Teach us to be merciful with ourselves and to guard our spirits. Help us to discern these inner conflicts and to reject the influences of Satan and his attacks upon our tender souls. Build us into strong, Godfident Christians, make us warriors who take back what the enemy has stolen. Train us into stealthy, rightminded pillars that are not moved in the face of attack! Be our buckler and steadfast in You, we shall be! In the Mighty name of Jesus we pray AMEN

MORE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”Luke 12:7 Why, even the hairs
of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.Zephaniah 3:17 The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.Romans 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”Acts 10:34-35 So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.John 10:1-42 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”

Life more abundant 1-30-17

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Mon, 30 Jan 2017 12:31:00 -0500

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things shall be added unto you….Matthew 6:33

How many of us are in the position of great need? Provision from the Lord is life and Life more abundantly! How do we recognize when we need the supernatural attention of God in the areas of our life where we are lacking? When you have run around in circles, exhausted every avenue? What happens when we get to the point of overwhelm, desperation? Is it finally then when we cry out, call out to God? Yes, usually this is the case. God wants to assure us that He is capable, especially when we are not. He wants to be the the first responder in our emergency and He wants us to be aware that He is where all blessings flow from.! Thank You Lord for my need and thank You for meeting it, exceeding it!

“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” —John 10:10

How do we usher in the provision of God? We usher it in through faith, obedience, praise, prayer and surrender.

There is one lesson in the bible that comes to mind;

1 Kings 17:7-16 the accounting of the Widow of Zeraphath during the time of drought in the region of Sidon at that time…

http://ift.tt/2jNWCXU

The widow of Zeraphath represents those of us who are in a position of need.
The Oil represents the anointing
The bread is sustenance. The Lord is the bread of life.

She was promised that the jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil would not run dry until the day the Lord gives rain upon the land; this speaks to us about the drought times in life. I also suppose that at this point, faced with her meager leftovers, that a portion of it gone would not be much different than the end result. It is this very act that transitions from personal hardship to above and beyond her own circle. She trusted and put faith in that word, she went and did as the prophet said; trusting in the word sent to her by God. We need to step up in faith, giving to the Lord that trust; it is the Tithe of Belief (give Him credit as the one who can and the one who will) Believe to receive!

Paul writes that “if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.” (Galatians 3:29 )

My God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)

Psalm 77:14 “You are the God who performs miracles; You display your power among the peoples.”

We need to come into Unity with His word, through strong faith, deep need, total praise and thankfulness. A release within the release, a friend recently mentioned to me. This speaks to me on so many levels. We have to let our abilities and striving take the backseat when it comes time to let God drive us over that finish line. Release your trust, release your praise and worship toward the Lord, recognize this as the only effective action you can take… motions will resume but this time fueled with the knowledge that God can put the High in your octane, accelerating the onset of every need being met; personal, financial and situational.

Heavenly Father, I thank you for the times of great need that you have placed me in. I can see how great and merciful you are as in times past when my need exceeded my ability and then you rushed in to comfort and sustain me. I pray that I shall always remain just as sure of You no matter what life may present to me. I have been high and I have been low but I fully know that you are here with me, wherever I may go! I promise to you this day, with the greatest of ease because I know You are unfailing…that I shall always trust in You. Trust, faith and assurity; when they are turned over to you, are the begins of great things. Thank you Lord for the trials of life, through which You have shown me How truly amazing You are. Thank You for using those situations to bring me great blessings for they also strengthened me that I might help others. I am grateful for the position I have with You; your beloved child, forever indebted, blissfully happy and secured for all eternity! In the Mighty name of Yehushua, Our Lord and Savior AMEN

Be humble, pray and seek His face… 1/23/17

happyandcomplete@gmail.com (Susan Marie Z) — Mon, 23 Jan 2017 14:28:00 -0500

2 Chronicles 7:14

¹⁴If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways;

then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

As believers who are called into obedience with humility, we are to refrain from following the crowd, from becoming part of a movement or a resistance, unless the established authority is imposing something that is contrary to Gods laws and mandates. On a whole we are not entangled nor threatened by the masses or their agenda.

Rom 13:1-14 Paul instructs you in your obligations as an earthly and heavenly citizen.¹

1. Submit To Government Rom13:1-7²

God is glorified and His will is fulfilled when you submit to His governing authorities. In 13:1a Paul writes: “Every person is to be in subjection to the governing³ authorities.”⁴ The command begins with the words, “Every person” (pasa psuche lit. “every soul”).⁵ This includes believers and unbelievers, rich and poor, great and small, without exception.⁶ But Paul’s primary concern is that believers “submit” to governing authorities. The verb “submit” (hupotasso)⁷ means “to place oneself under.”⁸ After reading this blanket command, some look for exceptions. However, here Paul provides the general rule, not the exceptions. Of course, there are at least three areas in which a Christian should resist authority: (1) If he or she is asked to violate a command of God.⁹ (2) If he or she is asked to commit an immoral or unethical act. (3) If he or she is asked to go against his/her conscience.¹⁰ But when a believer resists authority he/she must be willing to accept the consequences (see 13:2). Submission is never easy and frequently there are grave ethical dilemmas.¹¹

excerpt from: http://ift.tt/2jKe5kR

We are also called to pray…

1 Timothy 2:1-2, KJV

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty”

What God wants from us to be that contrast, showing the world by example. How do we do that? For starters we allow God to shape and mold us, through His word.

Ephesians 4:24

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created

in righteousness and true holiness.

It’s truly sad when you see these people in self destruct mode under the guise of a cause. What is worse is the hypocricy, for the things that they claim are an insult or an imposition upon them is nothing in comparison to their actions, words and deeds. Like children throwing an ill tempered tantrum they revolt. They are fighting and arguing for their sins. They refuse to be held accountable for their actions, they want a carte blanche ticket to behave badly.

Truthfully, there is a difference between priveledge and liberty. One thing is for sure, both were provided under the umbrella of sacrifice from those who gave their lives to provided it. Respect, reverence, and justice should be paid to the purpose of human rights not for the exploitation.

priv·i·ege
ˈpriv(ə)lij/

a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people.

lib·er·ty
ˈlibərdē/

the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one’s way of life, behavior, or political views.

Heavenly Father we pray for our Country, our new leader and for all of the new administration that will be inlfluencing changes in every facet of our lives. We pray a hedge of protection over ourselves and over the,. We also pray for the misguided masses that justified in their actions. Lord, we ask that you enlighten them to their behaviors. Touch these people in their consciences and in their spirit to serve You and to utilize that energy toward positive advancement, In Jesus Mighty name we pray AMEN.

PUSH =Pray Until Something Happens

I just love that little acronym, I didn’t invent it but I am reminded of it, especially when I read that passage about the widow and the unscrupulous judge.

Luke 18: 1-8

18 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

²Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

³And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

⁴And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

⁵Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.

⁶And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

⁷And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

⁸I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

In the case of the widow and the judge, she wasn’t praying but she was petitioning. She knew that this judge had the power to grant her request and therefore she had confidence that if she could just get him to agree to hear her plight, that the solution would be granted.

Therefore, I propose a question, how much more confidence should we have in God? He is omniscient and takes into account everything that we can not know or see and does so with an eye toward our advantage. So we see this passage as an incentive. We have the best and most judicious judge available, to hear our requests and to answer our petitions. The widow had enough sense to know that she needed to push through. She wasn’t about to give up, she was about getting the judge to acknowledge her.

Read this excerpt from Matthew Henrys Commentary on this passage Luke 18:1-8:

He applies this for the encouragement of God’s praying people to pray with faith and fervency, and to persevere therein.1. He assures them that God will at length be gracious to them (v. 6): Hear what the unjust judge saith, how he owns himself quite overcome by a constant importunity, and shall not God avenge his own elect? Observe,(1.) What it is that they desire and expect: that God would avenge his own elect. Note, [1.] There are a people in the world that are God’s people, his elect, his own elect, a choice people, a chosen people. And this he has an eye to in all he does for them; it is because they are his chosen, and in pursuance of the choice he has made of them. [2.] God’s own elect meet with a great deal of trouble and opposition in this world; there are many adversaries that fight against them; Satan is their great adversary. [3.] That which is wanted and waited for is God’s preserving and protecting them, and the work of his hands in them; his securing the interest of the church in the world and his grace in the heart.(2.) What it is that is required of God’s people in order to the obtaining of this: they must cry day and night to him; not that he needs their remonstrances, or can be moved by their pleadings, but this he has made their duty, and to this he has promised mercy. We ought to be particular in praying against our spiritual enemies, as St. Paul was: For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me; like this importunate widow. Lord, mortify this corruption. Lord, arm me against this temptation. We ought to concern ourselves for the persecuted and oppressed churches, and to pray that God would do them justice, and set them in safety. And herein we must be very urgent; we must cry with earnestness: we must cry day and night, as those that believe prayer will be heard at last; we must wrestle with God, as those that know how to value the blessing, and will have no nay. God’s praying people are told to give him no rest, Isa. 62:6, Isa. 62:7

Isaiah 62:6-7

⁶I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence,

⁷And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Deuteronomy 10:18

He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.

So, we need to pray until something happens. PUSH. Pray with confidence knowing that our God is a good and just God, an advocate who promises to attend to us. We have no better representation than our Lord, no greater friend and sovereign God who can not fail us. He has an advantage above judicious system of this world in that He sees every fact, including the hidden.

Let’s pray! Lord, we thank You for the gift of discernment and wisdom that You lead us to, contained in Your word. Help us to maintain our confidence and faith in You. Remind us to pray for our adversaries as we seek justice for the wrongs committed against us. Avenge us, as we know You will. We thank You Lord for Your faithfulness, In Jesus Mighty name AMEN!
