What things do we need to let go of in order to make room for the new? Are we holding onto regret, shame, anger, fear, or hurt? Are we holding onto unforgiveness? May we allow God to heal us and help us to release all of those things holding us back.
May we move forward with a lightness to our step; a clear heart and mind; and an excitement for the new encounters that are waiting along our journey! Praying for your new stepping stones that are waiting along your path!! đź‘Łđź‘Łđź‘Ł
May we walk in the Truth of your word, O LORD!!! May we allow Your Truth to define our lives and not the lies of the enemy!!!!!!!
“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”
â€â€1 John‬ â€5‬:â€4‬ â€NASB1995‬‬
As I have been pressing into the Lord concerning this new year, I was led to this photo. Then I was led to the scripture in 1 John concerning FAITH.
I feel the call of the Lord to be ready to take a LEAP OF FAITH in the coming year. There have been plenty of circumstances that have tried to stop you in your walk forward.
Looking at our circumstances and listening to voices of criticism and negativity in our lives have caused a “break” in our walk with the Lord. He is calling us to look at HIM…trust in HIM… and soar like an eagle over all those things that have caused you fear and doubt.
Get ready to take that LEAP OF FAITH and see all that God has waiting for you on the other side!
HALLELUJAH!!
The LORD your God is with you! Whatever is happening in your life right now…be strong and courageous! Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
“…the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”Ephesians‬ â€6‬:â€17‬ â€NASB1995‬‬
I had a vision on June 8 as I attended a day with Daughters on the Frontline. In the vision I saw a woman clothed in the armor of God. (Ephesians 6:10-18). But, I saw the sword of the Spirit laying at her feet. I received understanding that the sword was not being held because it was thought, “I will pick it up when I need it.”
I heard the Lord say in my spirit, “IT’S TIME TO PICK UP THE SWORD!! MY WORD TRUMPS THE WORD OF THE WORLD!”
Even though I saw a woman in my vision, I believe that the woman represents the “bride of Christ.” This vision and word is for all – men and women alike.
Brothers & Sisters, the main weapon of our warfare is in our mouths! God’s Word spoken, declared, and decreed in and over our circumstances and in and over world circumstances is one of the most powerful weapons we have. We need to realize the importance and necessity of having our “sword” constantly ready.
Read God’s Word…Pray God’s Word…Speak God’s Word
May God’s Word continually be in our hearts and in our mouths! RISE UP BROTHERS & SISTERS! PICK UP THE SWORD AND BE READY TO DO BATTLE!
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”Ephesians‬ â€6‬:â€12‬ â€NASB1995‬‬
Don’t let what is happening in your life put you in a position of defeat. Rise up from that position and remember you are “seated with Christ in heavenly places.” (Ephesians 2:6). That is your position!
RISE UP! ARMOR UP! SPEAK UP!
You are not defeated! You are not a failure! You are not powerless! SPEAK God’s truth over yourself and over your circumstances and keep speaking it until you see the victory!
“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” (1 John 5:4)
Praying for you, mighty, victorious men and women of God!!

*Ephesians 6:10-18*
Have you put off praying because you think it’s something you can take care of on your own? Or you think it’s too little for our great, big God to have to deal with? Dear ones, God is waiting to help you, if you will just ask. Are you ready? He is!
”Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.“ John‬ â€14‬:â€27‬ â€NASB1995‬‬
It is so tempting to search for our peace by looking at what is going on in our lives. If things are going the way we desire, we feel good and are at peace. BUT, if things are chaotic and we don’t understand why things are happening the way they are happening, it is very easy to let our peace disappear…we are fearful, angry, frustrated, depressed, etc.
This scripture reminds us that the peace that the world gives is not reliable. That peace is based on what is happening in the world. But, the peace that the Lord gives us transcends all that is happening around us!! We can have His peace as we are in the middle of the storms of life. It is that peace that is based on WHO GOD IS and not based on circumstances.
Brothers and Sisters, may we look for our peace in the right place. May we stop looking around us and may we focus on the LORD. HE IS OUR PEACE!!
I pray that “…the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7
Your Sister in the journey, Tina Roach
You are who God says you are! You can do what God says you can do! God is actively working in and through you! Be bold and walk in HIS TRUTH!!
