Stand Strong in the Spirit of the Lord: An Encouragement for Believers Facing Spiritual Warfare

urbirthright, , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

Dear Beloved in Christ,

In the face of spiritual warfare, it is vital for us to remember that we are not alone. The Spirit of the LORD is our strength and refuge, empowering us to stand firm against the schemes of the enemy. Here are some encouraging truths to hold onto when you find yourself in the midst of spiritual battles:

1. You are Empowered by the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit dwells within every believer, providing guidance, strength, and comfort. In Acts 1:8 (NIV), JESUS promised, But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses. Trust in the power of the Holy Spirit to lead you and give you the strength to overcome every challenge.

2. GOD is Your Protector

GOD promises to protect and fight for you. Psalm 91:1-2 (NIV) reassures us, Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress, my GOD, in whom I trust. Seek refuge in GOD’s presence, knowing that He is your shield and stronghold.

3. You Have the Victory in Christ

Through JESUS’ sacrifice on the cross, the ultimate victory has already been won. Colossians 2:15 (NIV) states, And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Stand firm in this victory, knowing that no power of darkness can prevail against you.

4. Use the Word as Your Weapon

The Word of GOD is a powerful tool in spiritual warfare. Hebrews 4:12 (NIV) says, For the word of GOD is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword. Equip yourself with Scripture, meditate on it, and declare it over your life to counteract the enemy’s lies and temptations.

5. Pray with Persistence

Persistent prayer is essential in spiritual battles. Ephesians 6:18 (NIV) encourages us to pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. Maintain a fervent prayer life, seeking GOD’s guidance and interceding for strength and protection.

6. Trust in GOD’s Faithfulness

GOD is faithful and His promises are true. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV) reminds us, No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And GOD is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. Trust that GOD will provide a way out and help you stand strong through every trial.

7. Encourage One Another

In times of spiritual warfare, it is crucial to support and encourage each other. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV) urges us, And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together… but encouraging one another. Surround yourself with a community of believers who will uplift and pray for you.

Stand Firm in Faith

Dear believer, stand strong in the Spirit of the LORD. Remember that the battle is not yours, but GOD’s. Lean on His strength, trust in His promises, and walk in the victory that JESUS Christ has secured for you. When you feel weary, remind yourself of GOD’s unchanging love and faithfulness. He is with you, fighting for you, and will never leave you nor forsake you.

Be encouraged, stay vigilant, and let your Faith be a beacon of hope in the midst of spiritual warfare. You are more than a conqueror through Him who loves you (Romans 8:37). Stand firm and be strong in the LORD!

In Christ’s Love, Dr. Carla The FAITH Coach

Safety and Assurance

urbirthright, , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

In the tapestry of life, there are moments when the shadows of doubt and fear loom large, threatening to engulf us in a sea of uncertainty. It is in these times of spiritual warfare that we are called to rise, to stand firm in the face of adversity, and to embrace the saving hand of GOD with unwavering FAITH and courage.

Imagine a fortress, strong and unshakeable, standing tall amidst the chaos and turmoil of the battlefield. This is the image that Psalms 18:2 paints for us – a vivid portrayal of GOD as our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer. In the midst of the storm, HE is our refuge, our shield, and the horn of our salvation. HIS presence is our stronghold, a sanctuary of peace and protection in the midst of spiritual battles.

When the winds of doubt howl and the waves of despair threaten to overwhelm us, we can find solace and strength in the words of Psalms 18:2. The Lord, our ever-present help in times of trouble, and HE stands ready to shield us from the fiery darts of the enemy and to lead us to victory. In HIS embrace, we find courage, hope, and the assurance that we are never alone in the battle.

The journey of spiritual warfare is not an easy one, but it is a journey that is marked by faith, perseverance, and the unwavering love of GOD. As we navigate the twists and turns of life, we can take comfort in the knowledge that we are held in the palm of HIS hand, safe and secure in HIS unfailing grace. In the moments of darkness, HIS light shines bright, guiding our steps and illuminating the path to victory.

Let us embrace the challenge of spiritual warfare with passion and conviction, knowing that we are warriors of light, armed with the power of FAITH and the sword of truth. Let us stand firm in the knowledge that GOD is our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer, and that in HIS strength, we can overcome any obstacle and push through any trial.

May the words of Psalms 18:2 resonate in our hearts and minds, filling us with courage, hope, and the unshakeable belief that we are more than conquerors through HIM who loves us. In the tapestry of life, let us be woven together by the threads of FAITH, united in our journey of spiritual warfare, and anchored in the saving hand of GOD.

Yours in Christ Jesus,

Dr. Carla, The FAITH Coach

Small Beginnings

I Love the Lord and His sweet whispers in the morning.  Bringing back to my memory this morning the scripture Zechariah 4:10 and telling me do not despise small beginnings.  Start small the Lord reminded me.  I am pleased to see the work begin.

 So, let me encourage you on today go ahead and begin.  Start small with the Great Big God Idea.  He is ready to smile down on you as you being to walk into your Destiney.   The beauty in all of this as soon as you begin, as soon as you start  the Lord will begin to add to you All sufficiency, add things you need to complete the work, to complete the assignment, to complete the Great Big God Idea. 

I am encouraged on today friends no matter what it looks like in the natural behind the scenes The Lord is Whispering and Rejoicing over us and moving on our behalf.  Blessings to you all.

Yours in Chris Jesus

The God we serve is such a restorative Father.  His unfailing Love for us never ceases and His mercies are new to you and I every morning.  Wow, every morning I am able to draw on new mercies to start my day.  What an Amazing promise and your faithfulness is so great. My soul rejoices in the truth that the Lord is my portion and I shall HOPE in Him.

These scriptures (Lamentations 3:21-24) share the heart of God where we are concerned.  God’s plan for our lives has been and is currently restorative and redemptive.  His Love for you and I does not end, it is persistent and unmovable towards us.  Now more than ever we need to lean into Him for He is our portion.  Me, MySoul, and I shall HOPE in the LORD.    

Today I choose to watch the Lord restore my home, my city, my state, my country, and my world.  I will not let the distractions and destructions of 2020 keep me from witnessing and receiving the Blessings of the Lord.  With every new day I receive new mercies that redeem and restore my life. Lord I Thank You.

Look to the HILL!

Psalm 121:1

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

What are you need of today? Is it your health? Has the enemy robbed you today or yesterday in any area of your LIFE.  What are you Looking at.  I have come to rely on this scripture more and more.  My mother-in-law quotes this scripture ALL the Time.  I never knew why this was her go to scripture but as I have grown in the word of and as an adult I know what it truly means.

When I hear this song by Travis Green I am reminded of several scriptures but this one especially.  Psalm 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.  The Bible tell us we are the healed.  We as Believers, Christians, Children of the Most High God, the Remnant, or whatever adjective you are claiming today on the cross, on that hill, “Calvary” that Jesus said it is finish.

Today we operate in the finish work of Jesus.  We now have power and authority that was given back to us and all finished work at the cross is Ours.  So your healing is finished.  I’m dealing with healing today.  I have so many people connected to me that are being plagued in their bodies with sickness and disease and unrest and people of GOD that is not our portion.  You were healed at Calvary sickness and disease is trying to come up on you.  Whose report will you believe? Where are you Looking? What is your heart set on? Your healing/healed state of being or what the enemy and symptoms are saying. Today lets BELIEVE God.  8/22/2016

PRAYER6975079-green-hills

I pray for a Supernatural Revealed Word to be released over your Life today.  I plead the Blood of Jesus over every area that is contrary to the word of God concerning your body.  You are healed from the top of your heads to the soles of your feet.  No weapon shall by no means prosper against you I pray for divine health to manifest Now in Jesus name.  You are healed, You are whole, You are set free in Jesus name.  Lord we Thank you Right now in advance for you finished work in our lives in every area.  In Jesus name Amen.

Mothers

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who have been blessed to become MOTHERS. Oh what a great gift we have been given. Now it is our privilege to raise these children. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 22:6 Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. My, My, My, that is an amazing promise.

As parents we: influence and impart into their lives we also instruct them. Let us not take for granted this wonderful gift and let’s treasure it. Let’s unite and raise the next God revering children that will carry the Gospel to the world. I count it all joy to raise my boys.

I pray and ask God to Bless and strengthen you as parents. I pray that divine instruction be imparted into you so that you are well able to instruct your children. Thank you Lord for the favor shield that surrounds our children, In Jesus name.

True Elevation

God has a better plan for you than you can even imagine. I was reading in Act ch 6 this morning where the 12 disciples of Jesus were in need of someone to step in and handle the business of the ministry. The 12 needed help…someone to serve. The requirements of the 7 individuals needed for service, were men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost, and Wisdom. The 7 were chosen and of the 7, 2 stood out the more. Phillip and Steven although qualified for service and served well they had extra. Man chose them to serve but God chose them to win souls.

If you read the accounts of Stephen and Phillip you will see great exploits for the LORD. These men were chosen to serve and in their service and commitment to the cause GOD elevated them. They remained humble and faithful and HOLY. God had a better plan for their lives.

God has a better plan for your life as well. God can choose you, fill you with the His Spirit, and elevate you to a place where healing and salvation is the ministry you steward. Oh, how marvelous to be in His will and plan for our lives. Ask God for those qualifications: honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and Wisdom then remain humble and faithful and watch God himself elevate you.

The Blame Game

urbirthright, , , , , , , , Leave a comment

On yesterday I was reading some tweets. I came across someone who was challenging whether or not there is a GOD. If there is a God the person said why does God let 6.6 million children die or starve something along those lines.  So I pondered that thought and wanted to reply but there’s not enough room to tweet what I wanted to say and I don’t argue and or debate the word of God.

Here is a thought that I have concerning this: What are you doing about the dying and starving children?  Have you gone on the mission field? Have you partnered with an organization that feeds and clothes destitute people.  You know it is so easy to blame others or even God but we sit on the sidelines and complain.

STOP Blaming God for something you can do.  Get off the sidelines.

Praying Wives Strategies 2/26/14

If you have visited this site before then you may be aware of the Arise: Praying Parent page where there is information on a prayer conference call.  Well Arise Praying Parents was birthed 6 months after the Praying Wives United Group.  We share the conference line; Mondays we pray for our children and Wednesdays we pray for our husbands.  Both calls pray the word of God according to the Bible.  We have had much success and many testimonies.  This morning I shared some Strategies that the wives could use in order to see some success, transformation, relief, encouragement and strength.  Of course there was so much more I could have shared but here is where I was encouraged to start.  This list can be used for you children as well.  Be encouraged Saints of God that the Lord is Good and He answers your call in time of distress.

  • It’s your praise and thanksgiving that will pull you out….of the pit
  •  80/20 rule: are you focusing the one or two things that work your nerves or will you celebrate the 80% and watch God take you to 81%, 82%, 83%, 84% ect…and now all you can see is growth…..and an improved marriage, child, friend, ect…
  •  Are you doing your God given assignment in the Earth…if you stop focusing on him/husband and give God more energy you will see a turnaround….
  •  What are you praying and who is praying with you? I refuse to ask just anyone to pray with me. You better know what they believe in.
  •  Don’t look at the situation, circumstances, problem (LOOK AT JESUS)
  •  Don’t pray out of place prayers; don’t charge the atmosphere unbelief, ask Jesus to help your unbelief…
  •  It’s really not about where I want him/husband to be but it’s about where the Lord wants Him to be….so when I pray for my husband I ask and partner with Holy Spirit for the Lord to make him the Man of God that he is called to be….

A sound marriage, family, and life is part of our inheritance; even through trails and tribulations we are more than conquerors.
