These are some scriptures I read today from Stormie Omariton’s “The power of a praying woman”:

If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.

Luke 9: 23-24

If we live, we live to the Lord and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. Romans 14:8

As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. Colossians 2:6-7

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3: 5-6.

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon him, for he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7

If you’re still struggling with depression this morning the bible says to cast your care upon him. Surrender according to Stormie Omariton in her book “The power of a praying woman”, is saying “Whatever You want Lord. I’ll do anything You ask.” It’s asking for his desires instead of yours. “Praising when you don’t feel like, praying when you feel like going to bed, going to church when you feel like staying home, fasting when you feel like eating, reading the word when you feel like watching TV.” Each of these things God asks us to do is for our own benefit and in the end will pull you from the frustrating point you may feel like you’re at in life. The first step to that feeling of being in all that God has for you as Stormie so rightly says, is surrender.

After you surrender your own way fully you will be on your way to exactly where God wants you to be fully. The peace of God will keep you and those frustrating feelings of lack and confusion will begin to fade

It is easy as believers to be lured in by thoughts of low self worth, defeat, suicide and discouragement. Lay off your spirit of heaviness today. These are declarations that we can use to remind us exactly of who we are.

The word of God is QUICK, and POWERFUL, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Hebrews 4:12

With this knowledge of the power of the word of God, we can use it to demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.(2 Corinthians 10: 5)

Make it personal and always remember the enemy has no control over your mind, only you do.

I declare that I will make every thought that is not of God or his will for my life captive and make it obedient to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:2). I know as a Christian life can get discouraging but may I never forget that you Christ have come that we might have life, and that we might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10).

I declare then that in you Christ I may have peace. In this world I will have trouble. But help me to take heart! Because you have overcome the world. (John 16:33)

Help me to be still and know that you are God. You have been through it and you understand.

I declare that with the authority you have given me to cast out the demons,
(Mark 3:15) I will tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure ME. (Luke 10:19)

I declare that through Christ I have already overcome and that no weapon formed against me shall EVER prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We triumph over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony; we do not love our lives so much as to shrink from death. (Revelation 12: 11) We are victorious through the blood of christ and so we will NOT GIVE IN TO SIN thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57)

I seal every word of God that I have spoken and I claim VICTORY. I declare what the devil meant for evil will be turned around for my good. I am worth more than falling into the snare of sin and shame. I am worth more than falling into the trap of manipulation and self loathing. I am worth more than sinking into sickness and depression. I AM A SON/DAUGHTER OF THE KING OF KINGS who reigns forevermore. “The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice. Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side. His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.

Psalm 94: 1

In JESUS NAME, amen.

Just when you feel like giving up, run.

Run to that very thing God has placed on your heart, whether it be singing, worshipping, dancing, lifting a praise, shouting, clapping, writing, speaking into the atmosphere the word of God, do it.

Do it right now.

The more you delay the more thoughts seek to keep you held captive. Let go, worship, be at peace

Give all honour and glory to God and follow him.

Your praise and worship is a weapon. No matter how you use it

Let it out from with you

As you sit there wondering what’s next, who’s next, where do you go from here your mind starts to wander

God where am I? Why is this so hard, why do I feel like I am resisting the very thing you’ve given me for such a time as this. My voice.

Use it he says, use your voice to proclaim the good news and the declarations I have given you from the Father over the enemy.

This is not a time to be silent, but use your voice. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. I do not give you as the world gives says the Lord, do not be discouraged do not be afraid”

These these words comfort me.I won’t run

I’ll minister, I’ll use my words for power and healing

ESTHER 8: 16-17

“And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.

The Jews had light, and GLADNESS, and JOY, AND HONOUR.

And in every province, and in every city, withersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had JOY AND GLADNESS, a FEAST and a GOOD DAY. And many of the people of the land BECAME JEWS; FOR THE FEAR OF THE JEWS FELL UPON THEM.”

I want to tell you something this morning. Deliverance is inevitable, as we come to the end of Esther we feel as though we travelled with them through captivity, bondage and depression faced by what they THOUGHT their fate and destiny was mapped out to be (death). Now, thanks to the sacrifical obedience of Queen Esther and the undeniable protection, guidance and REDIRECTION of the Holy God Almighty, the Jew’s deliverance had come.

FAVOUR, FAVOUR, FAVOUR IS UPON YOUR LIFE !!!

It is time to come out of that depression cage of bondage and captivity.

STEP HIGH AND STEP OUT !!!!

DEPRESSION IS A LIAR AND THE THOUGHTS THAT SWIRL YOUR MIND AT NIGHT WILL CEASE. Believe these words.

Esther had favour upon her life, she was willing to be a sacrifice for her people and she saved them.

Your willing sacrifice has NOT gone unnoticed. Your ministry is blossoming, your friends are cheering, your heart is being filled, it is full. You are highly favored

My love,

Cease the lies right in this moment and declare that that is just what they are: lies.

YOU

ARE

FREE

Now rejoice.

Praise is a weapon the enemy cannot steal from us. It destroys him and his attacks at keeping your mind in bondage.

Praise brings clarity and new perspective.

Say these words: GOD I THANK YOU .

SAY THEM LOUD, FIRM AND STRONG AND AS MANY TIMES AS YOU NEED TO

CRY IF YOU NEED TO, BUT FREEDOM IS UPON YOU.

The physical, emotional and spiritual pain you see YOU ARE DELIVERED FROM IN JESUS NAME.

I know these are unsettling times, but didn’t God say to trust him? He did. Deliverance and joy will come

Blessings.
