RELATIONSHIP

It is good to serve and minister for the Lord. But, we need to make sure we are not doing it just out of a sense of obligation.

The WHY of our obedience and ministry and serving is important. As we journey in RELATIONSHIP with our precious Lord and with others…the why is answered by LOVE. We serve the Lord out of our love for Him. We minister and serve others because we love them with the love of Christ.

And this Love pours forth from our time of drawing near to God and from our time of talking with Him (and listening).

We need to move from a place of serving and ministering FOR God into a place of serving and ministering WITH God! Beloved! God is calling us into closer relationship with Him! Are you ready?

O Lord, Your Love…

Our enemy, Satan, is often portrayed as a “snake.” The enemy is on the move to cut-off the life flow of the Church! Now our bones are not a bad thing. But, when they are not in the correct position in the body…they can cause trouble.

I believe that the enemy is trying to get us out of “alignment” with the will of God. He is trying to get us to use the “good things” of God in the wrong way!

Discernment is good…but if it is used to humiliate and judge those that need our prayers, it can cause much damage. Leadership is good…but if it is used to push forth our own agenda…it can cause much damage. Prophecy is good…but if it is used to try and control others…it can cause much damage. The anointing of God is good…but if it is used to draw people to us for our own glory…it can cause much damage.

Brothers and Sisters! We must guard our hearts and use the gifts and empowerment of the Holy Spirit for the furtherance of the Kingdom. Everything we do and say should point to Jesus!!

The Lord is pouring out His abundance upon His Church in this new season. He is calling forth His Bride to walk strongly into the future that He has destined for us. The enemy will try to kill, steal, and destroy the Church by getting us to use the blessings of God in the wrong way!

Be on guard!! Everything we do and say should first be filtered through our love for Almighty God…and then filtered through our love for others. It is LOVE that will bring all into correct alignment and position the parts of the body correctly.

LORD! May Your Love flow through us like a mighty river! It is Your Love that will sweep away those things that would cause harm to Your body. It is Your Love that will draw all people to You. It is Your Love that will guard our hearts in Christ Jesus.

O Lord! Your Love is a mighty weapon against the enemy!! It is Your Love for us that enables us to not be ruled by sin anymore. Your Love saved us and brought us back into the right “position” in our relationship with You. And it is Your Love that will break the power of the enemy in the coming days! ~Tina K. Roach

New Year Promise!

As you step into the New Year…remember God’s promise. Do not fear! Do not be discouraged! He is with you and He will not leave you or fail you! Trust Him to guide you on your journey. Plan quiet time to be with Him and know that He is God!! May this New Year be one in which you receive a deeper revelation of God’s love and faithfulness! ❤️

Heart Vision

…for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart. (1 Samuel 16:7)

We must be careful to not take people at “face value.” What we see with our fleshly eyes is not necessarily what the LORD sees!

LORD, may we see past the outward appearance and with Your help, discern the inward heart and spirit of a person.

May we be clothed in Your Love in all of our encounters. In Jesus’ Name, AMEN!

RISE UP, BELOVED OF GOD!

SPEAK the heart of the Father in all circumstances!

Take your stand as WARRIORS IN THE SPIRIT and watch the LORD move in POWER and LOVE through your prayers!

GET READY to hear the Lord and speak forth His Word to a world that is waiting to hear from their Father!

GET READY for the Lord to stretch forth His Hand and heal and deliver through YOU!

RISE UP, BELOVED OF GOD!
