Making Merry this Christmas

Making merry this Christmas may seem challenging, but it is possible, and not only is it possible it is necessary. Making merry doesn’t mean to get drunk or high as the world would have you to believe. That type of activity only leaves people feeling emotionally empty and in want for something more. Making merry this Christmas means something much richer than anything this world has to offer, and it will not leave you feeling empty, but fulfilled. 

Making merry this Christmas is choosing joy over anxiety, depression and fear. This means making quality decisions that will alter the outcome of our day. It may not change our circumstances, but it will transform the foundation of our emotions. And as followers of Christ we cannot allow ourselves to be driven by negative emotions, but to choose to step into the realm of joy. 

Joy is more than an emotion. It is a supernatural power given to us by God that will cause the devil to run from us. Let us see what the Bible has to say about joy. 

Nehemiah 8:10 from the Amplified version of the Bible tells us, “Do not be worried, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and your stronghold.” Instead of allowing worry to be our stronghold, let us allow joy to be our strength. You may be reading this and thinking to yourself, “That’s easy for you to say, you don’t know what I have been through!” And you are correct, I don’t know all that you have been through, but I too have had my share of tribulations on this earth and am showing you the way to overcome the negative stronghold of sorrow. Jeremiah 31:13 says, “I will turn their mourning into joy; I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.’” No matter how difficult the situation is, if we will make the decision to choose the “Joy of the Lord” in place of our pain we will find inner healing for our soul–our mind and emotions. 

There is supernatural healing power in joy. Proverbs 17:22 teaches us that, “A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.” Choose to take God’s medicine–joy, take it daily, not just once a day, but take it in large doses throughout the day. You cannot overdose on it. And I promise you, the more you ingest His joy, the quicker you will heal, and the stronger in life you will become. 

Let us make merry this Christmas, and refrain from the negative emotions of anxiety, depression, and fear. Let us refresh our souls–our mind and emotions with the joy of the Lord and make His joy our supernatural strength and stronghold. And let us share this refreshing joy of the Lord with others and give them reason to make merry this Christmas too.

The Prophetic Significance of the Donkey at the Birth of Christ

The Spirit of God is speaking to me about the prophetic significance of the donkey at the birth of Christ. It’s a rich lesson that perhaps many have passed over. But before I begin, I want to share with you how this message came to me.  

A few days ago, I receive an invitation to a neighbor’s house to look at something they no longer want. I know it is some sort of nativity scene, but the way my other friend describes it I’m not sure if I want it either! But I should know better, the Lord always has my best interest in mind. When I see it I know it is for me. The neighbor that gives this set to me, doesn’t know it’s my 60th birthday this day, or how much I have missed openly celebrating Christmas. (For 25 years we were missionaries in a country where the Christians felt it was sinful to celebrate Christmas.) Yes, it is a gift from my neighbor, but it really is a gift to me from my Lord, and I am sharing it with you. And as I enjoy its beauty, I find my spirit is contemplating upon each animal and person, and the Spirit of the Lord is speaking messages to me to share with you this Christmas season. 

My spiritual eye is drawn to the donkey, a beast of burden. And as I meditate upon it’s purpose within the Christmas story I imagine it carrying a load of great heaviness–a young virgin girl impregnated with the supernatural saving grace of God–Jesus, the Christ. Now, it’s not the young virgin girl that’s supernaturally pregnant with a child that’s the burden of heaviness. I see her as another example of our God taking an impossible situation and making it possible. But this is a topic for another time. What then is this burden of heaviness?  This great load of heaviness is delivering “The Answer” to a lost and dying world, that doesn’t realize they are lost, and the danger they are facing–eternal damnation. So it is very fitting that “The Answer” is delivered to us on a donkey, a beast of burden. 

So many people, saved and unsaved are carrying a heavy burden that they are not meant to bear alone. And this Christmas season would be the right time to allow Jesus–our burden bearer to carry the spirit of heaviness, the weight of this sinful world, and all the evil consequences of it upon His back. 

Psalm 55:22 tells us what to do with this heavy burden. It says, “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.”

Let’s pray together right now, and hand the burden over to Him. 

Dear Jesus, 

You are my spiritual beast of burden, and I place this spiritual heaviness where it belongs–upon Your back. I cannot bear this heavy load alone. And I see that in the manger scene you placed a donkey, with prophetic significance that has applicable meaning for me today, and that You came to lift this weighty burden of sin, and its consequences–sickness, disease, depression, fear, anxiety, failure, and so much more off of me. I willfully give all of this heaviness to You and place it upon Your back. In Your name, I thank You for setting me free, amen.

A Prayer of Faith for Your Soul During Election Chaos

With so much stress during this election chaos I want to share with you a prayer of faith for your soul. As I said, this is a prayer of faith for your soul (your mind and emotions), but before praying I want to share a little from my heart about all of this.

First of all, it is normal for you to feel the stress of the times that we are all passing through. As we are witnessing the people of this earth in turmoil as government control is out of control. It is invading our liberty, our freewill, our personal space and daily choices. We have been lied to and manipulated. Our daily pace has been forever altered with fear tactics and lockdowns, and in some places total shutdowns. And people are stressed and wearied and discouraged–especially during this election chaos.

But even in the midst of all of this distress, there is hope for our soul–inner healing for our mind and emotions. Let’s pray.

Father God, 

We come before You, and by faith we lay down the heaviness of this election chaos, and all fear and uncertainty that is rising against our mind and emotions. We know that we are created to be creatures of faith and not fear, but we confess our weakness to remain strong in the midst of such uncertainty, You have prewarned us in Your word that in this world we would pass through tribulations (difficult times), see John 10:10. And a great season of tribulation is upon us, but as Your ambassadors in the midst of a lost world, we choose the higher road and keep our eyes fixed upon You. We thank You that You are the same yesterday, today and forever, see Hebrews 13:8. You never change, see Malachi 3:6, and we cling to Your stability–knowing that You are our Chief Cornerstone, Psalm 118:22, and because of You and our life in Your Word our foundation of faith remains strong. We thank You, that even during tough times our hope, our faith, our strength is in You. And in all of these promises we remain steadfast, therefore this inner healing that we all need right now can freely flow through our mind and emotions and heal us.

In Your most precious name we pray, amen and amen. 

 

I suggest praying this over yourself aloud, so you can hear your own voice declare God’s promises in this prayer of faith for inner healing for your soul during election chaos.

The Fire and Glory of God Fall Down Upon Us for Redemption

While spending quiet time in the presence of the Lord, I heard the rustle of the onion paper in my Bible flip a page, so I looked over to it and read Second Chronicles 7:3. And I pray, just as it was in the days of King Solomon, “When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the Lord, saying; ‘For He is good, For His mercy endures forever.'” I pray this over our nation, that as the Church repents, the Lost will see the fire of God fall down upon us, and His glory surround us, and they too will fall to their knees with their faces to the ground and humbly surrender themselves to our Lord and King–Jesus Christ.

This leads me to two important questions. What fuels this fire and glory? God’s goodness and His mercy towards His people. And how do we access His goodness and mercy over our nation? First Chronicles 7:14 tells us how, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

As we can see this promise to forgive our sin and heal our land is conditional. As God’s people are we willing to meet His conditions to humble ourselves, and pray and seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways? The responsibility lies within us, but so too is the answer. There is only one way to Salvation–through the redemptive blood of Jesus Christ. But if we, God’s people refuse to live according to God’s ways, how can they? According to the Word of God, we are the salt of the earth. (See Matthew 5:13.) Just like salt enhances the flavor of food, so too are we to enhance the flavor of God’s goodness and mercy upon this earth. There isn’t anything more appealing to the spiritual appetite of the Lost than a Christian who truly walks with God, and lives according to His ways. We are called to be “Salty Christians”.

So are you willing to do whatever it takes to bring down the fire and the glory of God upon us, and cause the Lost to desire this great Redemption? I pray so.

Your Level of Love Affects Your Healing

Your level of love affects your healing. Are you aware of this spiritual fact? Your enemy, satan is, and he will make sure to cause chaos and division around you to keep you from walking in love and partaking of it’s God-given power in your life. Check your love-level. 

Love is the greatest of all gifts and the most powerful fruit we can partake of. It empowers faith. Without love we cannot effectively release faith for the miraculous. Throughout the gospels we see that love motivates every miracle Jesus performs. He loves people unconditionally and puts the needs of others before Himself. Even when they beat, mock, and crucify Him, He still loves and forgives them. And because of His unconditional love His supernatural resurrection happens and the miraculous still takes place today. 

Paul teaches us in Galatians 5:6, “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love” (NIV). Faith is not activated by legalism or by religious acts but by love alone. The Amplified version of the Bible puts it this way,  “For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith activated and expressed and working through love” (AMP).

God’s definition and checklist of love are recorded in First Corinthians 13:4-8, “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.”

Examine your heart. Is there any characteristic on love’s checklist above that you need to work on? Remember, these attributes of love activate, energize, express, and work our faith for the miraculous. If you lack in the area of love, your faith is weak and ineffective. So strengthen your love today because faith operates by love. Your love level affects your ability to receive or release His healing power.

Protection from Plagues

With the outbreak of plagues and pandemics, we, as true followers of Messiah–Jesus Christ need to remember that we have protection from plagues.

Looking back into history, we read about how Moses and the Israelites were protected from the ten plagues that fell upon Pharaoh and the Egyptians. (Read Exodus 7 through 12.)

After reading the account of these horrific plagues, there are a few points that stand out to me more than others. First, God gave warning to the rebellious pharaoh and to the Egyptians what was going to come upon them if they did not heed Him. Second, even though God’s people were living in the midst of the plagues and pestilences, He provided a plan of protection for His people.

Let’s zero in on the tenth plague; this is where the spirit of death was to take the life of the firstborn from every household unless they painted the two doorposts of their home with the blood of a lamb.

For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgement; I am the Lord. Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt (Exodus 12:12-13).

How appropriate and prophetic is this portion of Scripture for us today. Because we live under a new covenant, we no longer have to slaughter a lamb and paint our doorposts with its blood for protection. Jesus is our sacrificial lamb, and by His shed blood we are redeemed from this spirit of death that will try to steal, to kill, and to destroy us.

We have a promise to stand upon, “No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble” (Prov. 12:21 NASB). As with every other promise of God, we need to know how to activate the power of the promise. In this case, this promise is for the righteous, or those who are justified or vindicated by God. Today, the only way we can be justified or vindicated by God is through the atonement of Jesus Christ.

We need to make this point clear–just because Jesus shed His blood for us already for our redemption does not mean we do not have a part to play in our protection against plagues and pestilences. The opposite is true. We are responsible to activate the power of the blood in our lives.

Following the Voice of Hope

Following the voice of hope is not the way of the world, but it is the supernatural design of God for His children. Are we listening for His voice? And are we following after His ways? Let’s take a few moments to reflect on this excerpt from my latest book, “Conquering the Spirit of Death.” Are we following the voice of hope?

Do you realize that we have the life of God within us? We have His DNA, His very nature, His miracle-working ability deep inside of us. We are created by His seed, and it’s only natural for us to live and overcome the powers of death.

Spiritually speaking it’s unnatural for us to be filled with sickness and disease and to desire to stop living, or to end the life of another—that’s the carnal nature, the old self resurrecting and dominating who we really are. We are actually spirit beings filled with the breath of God, housed in human bodies while on this earth.

We are not created for mere existence, but are destined for His greatness to multiply and fill this earth with His goodness and grace, life and healing, creativity and beauty wherever we go.

It is not the will of God that His life in us is overshadowed by the spirit of death. We are created to be overcomers in every area of life, not to concede to the darkness of our enemy—the devil and his wickedness.

It’s time for each of us to become who we really are created to be—overcomers, life-givers, a generation of hope that spreads the Good News of salvation to a darkened and dimmed world that is crying out, “Give us hope!”

*This excerpt is taken from “Conquering the Spirit of Death”, Chapter 11, “Following the Voice of Hope”, Pages 167-168.

Spiritual Readiness List for End Times

I have comprised for you a spiritual readiness list for end times. I pray that you take to heart what it says and actually prepare yourselves for any type of persecution that we may encounter before we are raptured up to be with our Lord.

The Last Days

I believe that we are living in the last days, and that the return of Jesus Christ is soon. I do not believe that anyone can predict the date of Christ’s return, because it says in Matthew 24:36, “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” But God does want us to be ready and teaches us the signs of the end-times in Matthew 24: 3-15. And Jesus says to us, “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to everyone according to his work.” (See Rev. 22:12.)

I look forward to the great and glorious day when we will see Him appear in the clouds, and be caught up with Him, along with our fellow believers, (see Titus 2:13), but until then I plan on     being about our heavenly Father’s business and invite as many as will come. (See Prov. 11:30.)

IF you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.  Romans 10:9.

List for Spiritual Preparedness

 

  • Is Jesus Christ your Savior?
  • Have you made Jesus Christ your Lord?
  • Develop personal relationship with Father, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit.
  • Get baptized in the power of Holy Spirit.
  • Read and study the Bible on a consistent basis.
  • Pray more than you have ever prayed before.
  • Forgive those that have wronged you.
  • Tell the people in your arena of influence that they need to get right with the Lord. And disciple them in the Word of God.
  • Minister healing to those around you.

Stock Up on Bibles

  • Start giving Bibles out to  people NOW!
  • Make sure these Bibles are unmarked—no name  or  contact information.
  • Understand that the government can  take down online Bible sites at anytime, without warning.
  • Make sure everyone in your household has a regular copy of the Bible.
  • And hide Bibles to give during times of persecution.

You Live in What You Say

You live in what you say. This is exactly what our Lord Jesus tells us in Mark 11:23 “You will have what you say”. “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” So the question for this hour that we should ask of ourselves is, “What have I been saying over myself, my family, my job, my ministry, my present situation, or even my nation?” Obviously, according to God our words carry a lot of weight. They are the foundational factors in what’s going on around us.

If you have been speaking negative over your health, your body is going to bow to the authority of your words and obey them. If you continue to say that you are sick and tired–you will be sick and tired. If you tap into this revelation about the power of your words and begin to speak the way God would have you to speak over your physical body and bless it with God’s healing promises–your body will begin to transform into the description of those faith-filled words of the Lord.

How do you do this? Say for example you are going out for a morning walk, you would begin to quote aloud so you can hear yourself speak, “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31). And take and personalize this portion of Scripture over your physical body. Here’s how, “I love and serve You, Lord with my life, therefore, my strength is renewed like that of a strong eagle. I can run and not be weary, and I can walk and not faint.” And then add more Scriptures and personalize them over your physical body. 

I am telling you God’s Word works! The more you speak His healing promises over your physical body the stronger and healthier it becomes.

Let’s turn to a confession of faith that I have written out for you in my book, “The Prophetic and Healing Power of Your Words” in the opening of the book. And I am going to write out the third paragraph of this Confession of Faith to Wield the Tongue for you here. Begin to read this entire confession of faith and not just read it, but read it aloud so your mind and emotions hear you say this with your own voice, and allow God’s healing word transform your physical body too.

“I will not defile my body with negative speech and faithless words (Matthew 15:11), but will study God’s promises to know how to give faith-filled answers (Proverbs 15:28), utilize the power of pleasant words that are sweet to the soul and healing to the bones (Proverbs 16:24), I will meditate upon the Scriptures day and night (Joshua 1:8), so that I will prosper in all things and be in health (3 John 1:2).

Jesus says, we live in what we say, so let us begin to use the power of our words wisely and speak life, health and healing over our bodies.

Unbinding Ourselves From a Spirit of Death

Last week as I was recording my first 14 episodes of my own tv show, “Empowered for Healing and Miracles” for ISN (Sid Roth’s–It’s Supernatural!) channel, the Lord spoke something to my heart as I was recording one of the shows. He spoke to my heart, “Tell them to unbind themselves from a spirit of death.” And this is what I am going to share with you today, “Unbinding Ourselves From a Spirit of Death.”

I happened to be sharing a four part teaching series about how we raised our son from the dead. And on one particular recording I was teaching about how Jesus rose Lazarus from the dead. Let’s look at this portion of Scripture from John 11:38-44 “So Jesus, again being deeply moved within. came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. Jesus said, “Remove the stone.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there will be a stench, for he has been dead four days. Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me.” When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth.” The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

Let’s talk about this. The situation in the natural was beyond hope, Lazarus was dead for four days now, and his body was deteriorating quickly. But Jesus, in human form was activating His faith for the impossible. With the power of life and death in His words (see Proverbs 18:21) He cries out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth.” And he came back from the dead. But you know what? He was stilled wrapped in the garment of death, and he needed to be loosed from this spirit of death. Jesus commands those around to activate their faith, “Unbind him, and let him go.” These are powerful words. He is instructing them to release him from the restraints of death. And we have to do the same with our loved ones. It isn’t enough to speak words of faith, but we must also back up those faith-filled words with action. 

I am reminded of a time during our son’s amazing resurrection and recreation of dead body parts. When it came to his lungs, which had come up out of his nose in pieces with his blood and then he was declared dead, and now resurrected and major organs are being supernaturally recreated by faith.

After informing us that it was impossible for Marcos to live, said they were going to start pulling the breathing tubes out of him, and then we would know if his lungs were recreated or not. I remember responding in faith, “We already know, he is healed, and his lungs will breathe on their own.” Yes, the doctor responded with a negative reply, but we held onto our confession of faith. We didn’t fight the fact that we were just told, not asked that they were going to start pulling out his breathing tube. (It takes great faith to unwrap your loved ones from their grave clothes.) Even though, we were witnessing amazing and unexplainable events, being raised from the dead, breathing at first on his own with a heart and lungs that didn’t just stop, but exploded into pieces. And having to fight one death report after another day in and day out, with no other evidence of hope, but faith. And I am telling you, “Faith is the ONLY evidence you need for your miracle.” And often times it will be the only evidence you have.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, Hebrews 11:1. (NKJV).

Now, you will have many choices to make, one being–“Where will you place your faith?” Will you place your faith in your human reasoning or in your five senses? Or will your faith rest in the report of the Lord? You might be thinking to yourself, “Those are hard choices.” And yes, they may be, but faith doesn’t make things easy, it makes them possible. 

Are you willing to unwrap yourself or your loved ones as Mary and Martha did from the grave clothes–that spirit of death that has them bound? They did and their loved one lived. We did, and our loved one lives. The choice is now yours to make. I strongly urge you to “Unbind ourselves from a spirit of death.”
