Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat of its fruit.
—Proverbs 18:21

So I was thinking about You, Holy Spirit, and this verse.
Holy Spirit, I want to hear You more, be more sensitive to Your voice, just be more aware of You period.
I want to think of You first.
I want to ask, “What do you want me to say or not say, Holy Spirit BEFORE I start flapping my lips and tongue?”

While putting away the clean dishes from the dishwasher, the Holy Spirit interrupted my thoughts and asked me, “Why does Satan hate mankind so much?” It was actually a rhetorical question because He answered it for me. He said, “Because we (mankind) were created differently than he was. He was created to worship God without intimacy, as an image of God but not in the image of God. He was given free will but without a chance of repentance. One-and-done!”

On April 2, 2015, we received a report and diagnosis. We were asked all kinds of questions like:

“How are your teeth?”
“You have regular dental checkups, correct?”

To then hear, “You don’t want to have any cavities or infections in your mouth.”

The number one need in a Christian’s life is a renewed mind.

Renewing your mind is not switching the “to-do list” of the world for the “to-do list” of God. It is literally a change from the inside out. The Holy Spirit renews our mind supernaturally as we spend time in God’s Word.

I FOLLOW A KING

I follow a King who was born in a manger filled with straw, cud and dung. Who slept comfortably while the warm breath of the living barn was His only source of heat on that bright and starry night.

Have you ever read the book Faith is not a Feeling by Ney Bailey? Don’t feel bad; I haven’t either. I have, however, been thinking a lot about the title and how it applies to me in my everyday life and circumstances.

As I am writing this blog, Israel is at war. The atrocity, mockery, and straight-
up boldness of our evil enemy are on display. Death is his business. Division
and destruction are his goals. This is an outright attack against God Himself,
as this is always the enemy’s intention. He hates God and will use anyone and
anything to fulfill his agenda of hatred and violence.

As I look around our world, I see God beginning to move in incredible ways. Things are shifting. Acceleration is not only coming–it is here! It is an exciting time to be alive, but harrowing things are happening around us. It can get a little overwhelming if we allow ourselves to focus on the bad instead of all the good God is doing.

We at Sanctioned Love Ministries have recently completed our third Amazing Pursuit Conference-themed Evergreen. During our conference, one of my tasks was to deliver a lyrical word; a 20-minute poem to give dimensions to the revelation of our theme.

In my prayer time with Jesus, I heard the Lord whisper, “It is time for My remnant to receive their Bachelor of Arts Degree or B.A.–Bride with Army boots!
