Have you ever heard someone say. "blood is thicker than water? Now, think of what you think that means.
Think about it this way: the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

I dont know who needs to hear this, but I know that I did, and it ministered to me as I wrote it, and i pray that it will minister to you as well.

Walking by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7) is not a suggestion or a pep talk just to encourage you. It's actually a part of our spiritual DNA, part of who we are in Christ.
If you have what it takes to walk and speak in faith, and you have peace walking it out; then to me that tells me that God will back you up.
If it's about giving God the glory, and not exhalting yourself, then it won't matter what man, your feelings or the report says.
Look, we all have an experation date. If you are constantly living in fear and anxiety about what you've been told, that is distraction of faith. It becomes you trying to solve the situation based on what you've been told in spite of faith.
The Israelites missed entering into the promised land because they believed a report that was not grounded in faith. There were two who believed the promise of God rather than a report they had witnessed with their own eyes. Bottom line is, after 40 years of wandering in the desert because they believed what they saw, rather than what God had already spoken, only two finally entered the promised land. It was Joshua and Caleb, the two that had believed by faith the report of the Lord rather than what they saw.
This goes to show, you should always be aware of those who are speaking around you concerning what you believe God is saying to you. If there are those that would tell you God can do it, BUT, Or those who would tell you; yeah, BUT God has given you "common sense." Show me where it says that we are to live by common sense in the Word. It was common sense that kept the Israelites from entering into the promise land, because they believed what they saw in the natural, and were afraid.
In my own life I've been called hard headed, and irresponsible, that I'm walking in dangerous territory by walking by faith and not by sight, not adhering to their man taught wisdom or a negative report.
If you are walking by faith, and you feel it's the will of God, then you will not experience fear (not that you won't be tempted), but peace. The Word tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7 that "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and a sound mind." That means when you are truly walking by faith, then you will have power to stand on what you believe, and that you will experience peace while you are standing.
Look, we were purchased with a great price through the sacrifice and the shedding of Jesus' blood. This tells me that our lives and everything concerning our lives belong to God, and that no longer of ourselves.
I can't tell anyone how to walk out their faith, but I can't tell you about how God has spared my life on many occasions because I had faith. Everyday that I wake up is a testimony of me walking by faith.

Wield the Word like a sword.
The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. Rise up in the authority over all the demons of hell through the Name of Jesus. Your battle is not of this natural world, but all demonic forces of darkness.
You are sons and daughters of the Most High, you are called to walk in boldness. Fear in hell rises because you are anointed by God to tear down strongholds. You are called by name, you are marked and sealed by the Holy Spirit. All of hell knows your name, and demons tremble because of Who is within you.

Everything thing that is happening now is not against you, but for you, shaping you for the day of victory
The Earth is filled with endless opportunities. Determine that you won't walk past them blind.
Every trial is an open door, every challenge is a battlefield, and every battlefield is a stage where the glory of God will be revealed. Prepare yourself for success in body, soul and spirit.
Put on the whole armor of God so that when the evil day comes, you will stand unshaken, unmoved, and undefeated (Ephesians 6:11-13)

Trust the process and embrace the journey. God knows what He's doing even when don't understand. He will not let you fail or fall, if you have surrendered your will to Him.
We walk by faith not by sight (or hearing). Remember things aren't always how or what they appear to be. God has promised you, as sons and daughters that, all things work together for your good, because you love God and are the called according to His Purpose (Romans 8:28). He didn't promise they would work together according to you plan, but His.
It's time to rise up and turn the tables on the enemy. You become the storm that rages against the kingdom of darkness. It's time to put every demon on notice! When they raise up against you, you drive them out with the Word that's in you. They know that you are filled with the Holy Spirit, that you've been redeemed from the curse, and the things associated with the curse cannot dwell in the same temple of the Holy Spirit. Do not let reports or man dictate your identity. They may give you a negative report, but the Word of God supersedes and overrules over every negative word and every natural wisdom and law of man.
Today, you must determine that you believe God's Word in your life. That His hand of mercy and grace is upon your life. Whatever assignment from God that has been spoken into your life will come to completion if you remain faithful and obedient to God and His Word. If you have determined that you will live a total surrendered life to God, nothing can stop or cut short what you are called to do.

Stop asking... why me? Start asking what are you trying to show me? What are you preparing and equipping me for?
If it's an open door of opportunity for you to glorify and honor the Father, and it seems unlikely or impossible, then your question should be... why not me?
You are a new creation, all thing in your life have become new. You've been made free of every bondage that holds you back. Nothing can stop you because you are a son or daughter of the Most High. No weapon of the enemy can stop you. Jesus said that the works that He did, you will do, so why not you?
Meditate on the fact and seek revelation of the fact that you carry within you everything the Father and Son are through the Holy Spirit. Your hands feet and lips are anointed to release the awesome power of God.
You carry within you all of Heaven, and you are able to fulfill the prayer that Jesus taught us to pray; Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on On Earth as it is in Heaven. Everywhere you go, you have the ability, the power and the authority to release Heaven on Earth.
There is absolutely nothing that you can do or have to do to be able to walk in your destiny of being a son or daughter of God. Jesus paid the price, conquered death, hell and the grave so that you would become Children of God.
Today, you should lay down your weight that holds you down and back, anything that would distract your focus from the call God created in you.
Get up, put your hand to the plow, and move forward, step into your identity that is only found through Christ. You are worthy, you are enough and you are more than a conqueror!

Whatever you're going through or facing today. No matter how impossible your situation may appear. Focus on these facts: God is still on the throne, Jesus is still Lord, and the Holy Spirit (everything that God is) still dwells inside of you.
You must change your mindset (Romans12:2) to stand on what you believe (faith), and in whom you believe, not by what you see before you.
If you are walking in obedience to God and following His Word (Jesus is the living Word of God), heeding the voice of the Holy Spirit... nothing can overcome or defeat you!
Think about Job and all he suffered, and lost in his life; he sill praised God. Even when those around him (including his wife), advised him to curse God and die; he chose to praise God in the midst of his greatest suffering, and in the end everything was restored.
Meditate on the following words that Job spoke, and let them become yours in your situation:

“Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him.”
‭‭ Job‬ ‭13‬:‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

There are only two paths to choose when you are hurting, struggling or suffering. The path that leads to life, where God directs your steps, leading to victory or the path of self, and the world's solutions that leads to destruction, delusion and defeat.
The Word tells is in John 8:31-32:

“Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall MAKE YOU FREE.””
‭‭
No matter the storm that rages in your life today, as impossible as it may seem or that that appears to be no answer; choose to look to God. Go to Him in prayer and pour out your heart, then trust Him to make all things right, and you will see His hand of protection and provision burst forth in your life.

There are many (especially in the medical community) that question my decision to choose how and when I go to dialysis. Some would say that I'm hard headed, but I truly believe that I am faith-headed.
My prescribed schedule is 3X per week and 4 hours per session. For several months I've only been going twice a week for 2 hours per session. The last month, I have been going once per week. I have no symptoms of what they look for when your kidneys are failing.
The Bible tells us to work out our own salvation (Philippians 2:12-13). This is not telling us to work for our salvation. I believe that it's simply saying that we, are to walk out our faith as we feel led of the Spirit. Not everyone's situation, walk or faith is the same. I have to walk out my faith the way that I feel the Holy Spirit is leading me.
Some would ask; how do you know, that you're following the Spirit when the doctors are telling you they are just trying to keep you alive, and giving you a better quality of life?
First and foremost, I have peace! It is my faith that says, it's God that is keeping me alive and sustaining my health. As far as a better quality of life? Jesus came to give me an abundant life, not just a way to exist.
These are the facts that I believe by faith; God created my body (it belongs to Him), He redeemed me (including my body) through the sacrifice of Jesus shedding His blood on the cross. He redeemed me from the curse, and disease is a part of the curse. Ive spent most of my life in bondage to fear and worry, but i refuse to live that way for the rest pf my life. Im not afraeof dying, but most mostly, im not afraid to live of life that will glorify my Father.
I have a path to walk, He has a plan for my life, and I WILL FINISH MY RACE, and there is not a devil in hell or anything else that will stop me!

You must be willing to allow God to interrupt your plans, to rely on His wisdom. Not just with the big plans, but in every plan that requires a choice or a decision. Be willing to wait until He says move. Remember, He sees the big picture. He is already in your future, whether it's in the next minute, hour or day. He has a plan already in place, and He will guide you through the pitfalls and and traps of the enemy if we are willing to be led of the Holy Spirit.
Let us always remember, we have been redeemed. This means we, and every detail of our lives belong to Him, which should include our will, plans, choices and decisions. It's no longer about us, and all about Him.

If you read the story of Paul and Silas being imprisoned, the first take away from that story is this: they did not wait for their deliverance to worship God, they worshipped Him in spite of their situation. Their hope and faith wasn't that God would deliver them, they chose to worship Him for Who He was to them. There is no mention of them praying for their deliverance, but rather pure worship for their Father. The results? God answered their faith through worship, and released a miracle that resulted in not only delivering them from what bound them, but everyone else that was in the presence of their worship. The guard that was in charge of their captivity, took them home to minister to them, the he and his whole family were saved.
What do we learn from this passage of scripture? We are to worship in the midst of the storm, and our worship will release the power of God in unimaginable ways to deliver and to save. 🏻

“After they were severely beaten, they were thrown into prison and the jailer was commanded to guard them securely. So the jailer placed them in the innermost cell of the prison and had their feet bound and chained. Paul and Silas, undaunted, prayed in the middle of the night and sang songs of praise to God, while all the other prisoners listened to their worship. Suddenly, a great earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. All at once every prison door flung open and the chains of all the prisoners came loose.”
“when Paul shouted in the darkness, “Stop! Don’t hurt yourself. We’re all still here.” The jailer called for a light. When he saw that they were still in their cells, he rushed in and fell trembling at their feet. Then he led Paul and Silas outside and asked, “What must I do to be saved?” They answered, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved—you and all your family.” Then they prophesied the word of the Lord over him and all his family. Even though the hour was late, he washed their wounds. Then he and all his family were baptized. He took Paul and Silas into his home and set them at his table and fed them. The jailer and all his family were filled with joy in their newfound faith in God.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭16‬:‭23-‭34‬ ‭TPT‬‬

A very powerful combination is found in Revelations 12:11. The blood of Christ (the Lamb) that was sacrificed for our redemption and the word of our testimony. They are an unstoppable force, that has the power to change hearts, to restore lives, to deliver and to save.
This is how we overcome and destroy the plans of the enemy is peoples lives.
The blood that was shed for us remains un-silent from then until now, and throughout all eternity. We must never allow our voice to be silenced, for our testimony is a witness of the truth, promises and faithfulness of our Heavenly Father.

I dont know who this is for, but I know it is for me. I can no longer be satisfied with being satisfied with life as usual. As for me, I wasn't created to be what the world calls normal. I was created for more, and so were you.

In prayer this morning I kept hearing the word "EXTREME." What I received from Holy Spirit is that we are living in a world of extreme chaos and evil. We must be willing to go above and beyond with a desire to live with reckless abandonment, a life for the Father through the Spirit of God.
One thing I know is, there must be a constant change in our pursuit for Holiness, shedding more and more of self and the world to receive what God has called us into. The Father is calling us to the deep places of His heart and purpose. We cannot remain the same and live life as usual and be in a position to go where He is leading us.
There is a cost for extreme faith to do extraordinary things for God. It's more than just the same routine of morning prayer reading the Word when it's convenient, and going to church. God is calling us to a lifestyle surrender with our time.
We desire to be saturated in Him, but in order to do that, we must saturate ourself in Him (marinate in that a few minutes). We all have busy lives, but how much of our lives do we spend just finding ways to occupy our thoughts and our time to escape the realities of life?
So, what are we being called to do? The answer is sacrifice. God sacrificed His Son and Jesus sacrificed His life for us, that we might be redeemed unto the Father. We must be willing to surrender our life's lived in our routine, to pursue a routine of prayer, reading the Word and just soaking in His presence.
We spend so much time looking for ways to escape the chaos of life, through things of the world. God is calling us to escape the things of life with things of the Spirit.
I will tell you, your flesh is going to want to rebel and fight to be fed with tv, social media, sports, and relationships (just to mention a few). Oh preacher, you're just going too far! Isnt that what they said about the people that we read about in the Word?
God is saying to us; do we want to encounter Him in such a way, that we experience extreme signs, wonders and miracles, and the lost falling to their knees and crying out for repentance because of the One Who lives inside of us? We must first desire to be extreme for Him, but we also must be willing to lay down our very lives to sacrifice our time to abide in His presence. Do you want to walk in more than just a measure of faith? Do you want to walk in extreme faith? Well, it's time to live and walk in it, no matter the cost.
EXTREME has to become the new normal!

As I was praying this morning I received the word simplicity of childlike faith.
We have spent so much time learning formulas of how to walk like Jesus, and to do the works that He did.
The truth is there is no formula to fulfill our call. We are to simply stay in communication through prayer, to read and meditate on God's Word, then... just get out of the way and be led of the Holy Spirit.
I believe that we miss so many opportunities of being a demonstration of of the Word, because we spend so much time trying to understand how to do it. We concern ourselves with thoughts about whether or not something is going to happen, if we are going through the right steps or saying the just the right words. Many times we will walk away wondering if we said enough or if we should have done more to convince them. We think way too much about; what if I step out by faith and it doesn't happen? What if the person we minister to doesn't get the answer, and how that will make us look. The truth is it's not our reputation that is at stake, but rather its Gods. All of these things hinder us from walking in signs, wonders and miracles just as Jesus did on earth.
We must realize that the same Holy Spirit that worked in and through Jesus, lives in us. If we would approach open doors of opportunities to minister with the simplicity of childlike faith (Matthew 18:3), we would witness miracles as common place rather than something that has to be worked up. We must take self, our reasoning and our own abilities off the table, and trust (have complete faith) in the Spirit of the Living God inside of us. If we ever get to the place where the Holy Spirit says go, do or say, that we don't take time to think about it or to reason it out (Proverbs 3:5-6), we will see God moving in such power like the world has never seen (John 14:12).
Have you ever noticed how a small child just does things, because they believe they can? It's because they don't understand the concept of having limits. They don't think about it or ask if they can do it, they just step out by faith because they don't know any better. I believe we are created to live like that in our spiritual walk. We've been given the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16) and that's the mindset that our faith should operate in.
We need to seek the Father as to why people aren't miraculously heald as we read in the Bible when we pray for them. God hasn't changed, the Holy Spirit hasn't changed... but we must change our view of things with a heavenly perspective (Ephesians 2:6). Forget all of the how's , and just simply do. It's not our long prayers, dignity or how we are being seen.
I was always taught: God said it, I believe it and that settles it, sounds good; right? But the truth is this: God (the Word) says it, that settles it (Psalms 119:89), and I just simply believe it (by my childlike faith).

When someone says, give them what they deserve, I understand those feelings. I would ask; what if we got what we deserved? Isn't that the reason Jesus hung on the cross, to become the penalty for what we deserved?
I can honestly say that in my life, all that I did against God and so many others, if there was anyone who deserved to burn in hell for eternity, it is me. No one will ever convince me that the love, mercy and grace of God, didn't apply the shed blood of Christ to my sins to purchase my undeserved forgiveness. No, I cannot judge anyone for their sins, no matter how evil they may be.
The whole reason we are here is to offer the same opportunity for forgiveness that was poured out to us by Jesus when He cried out... IT IS FINISHED (it is complete)!

I am thankful that Charlie Kirk's killer has been arrested.
I pray that he receives justice for his crime, but I also pray for his soul. I pray that God will send someone to minister the gospel and that he receives forgiveness from the Father of his sins.
It's easy to hate him and want his life for taking a life, but at this moment there is still breath in his lungs, there is an opportunity for repentance, redemption and salvation because of what Christ died for
We have to remember that our sins warranted the same punishment of hell as his does at this moment.
Do you think if Charlie was here today, that he would forgive him?
Remember, we are not his judge.
This in no way does away with our righteous anger for what he did. Evil walks among us, but that evil does not define who we are in Christ.
I continue to pray for Charlie's family that they are comforted. I also stand by faith that revival is being birthed and released through what has taken place. I also rejoice in the fact that Charlie Kirk is more alive than ever, that he is an example for all of us who remain to speak the truth of the gospel in love to bring the lost to repentance.

As I was praying tonight. I heard the Lord say; don't focus on what's wrong in the world, but we should focus on being what's right.

It's very easy to get distracted by the evil that is taking place. We are called to be light in the darkness of this world. If we lose sight of that by focusing on the evil and everything that is wrong with humanity, our light dims more and more.
The Bible is very clear about what is taking place right before our eyes. The bottom line is things are going to get even worse, but we are the called ones, that will usher in a great revival before the Lord returns.
What is, has been and will continue to take place should be an alarm to awaken to the call on our lives, to proclaim the gospel and the coming of our Lord. There is a boldness that is being awakened within those who will lay it all on the line. Who are willing to answer the call disregarding what it may cost.
Charlie Kirk's voice for truth and the gospel wasn't silenced today, but rather it was amplified. It's time for the people of God to speak as the sound of crashing waves. It's time for the church to be the church, getting past all the hype, and entertainment, getting raw with the truth in love. The world must know that our love for them is greater than their evil we hate. Love should always speak truth without fear of what it might cost us. It's time to get uncomfortable and undignified. The world is sick of seeing the church trying to fit in with world. We've been called to be separate, to be set apart, coming out from among the world. We can't just preach the gospel with our words, because they've heard it all before, but our preaching must be with a demonstration of the power of the gospel.
It's time to get desperate for a revival, but before that takes place, something has to change from what it's been, the change has to be in us in order to change the hearts of the lost. It's time to stop looking at the world, just shaking our heads and go on about our lives. It's time to allow God to shake our hearts and shake up our lives that we might become a collective light that shines as bright as the sun for those living in the darkness.

All around us there are dead lifeless bones. We must prophesy, to declare the gospel, the living Word of God over them. We must breath life into them that life will come into them, that the Father will raise them up from death to life.
Will you go? Will you lay down your life before your Father, so others will gain life?

“Yahweh’s powerful presence was upon me, and his Spirit lifted me up and carried me away. He set me down in the middle of a valley floor that was covered with countless bones. He made me walk all around the valley among all the vast piles of bones. There in the valley there were very many, very dry bones. Yahweh asked me, “Son of man, can these bones come back to life again?” And I replied, “Lord Yahweh, you are the only one who knows.” Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these dry bones these words, ‘Dry bones, hear what Yahweh says. Lord Yahweh says to you: “ ‘I am now going to breathe into you, and you will live again! I will attach muscles and sinews to you. I will make flesh grow on you. I will cover you with skin. I am going to breathe into you, and you will live again. And you will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”” (‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭TPT‬‬)

God destroys the yoke of sickness (bondage) (Isaiah 10:27). Will you believe, receive and walk in the Living Word of God for your life?
We walk by faith, not by what we see, what is declared over us by man, not by the negative report, not even by the way we feel (2 Corinthians5:7).
When you are in Christ, things are not always the way they appear. Sickness, disease, afflictions and infirmities are not from God. Jesus is the Word that was made flesh (John 1:14). He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He is the way where there is no way. The same Holy Spirit that worked miracles through Jesus while He was on earth dwells inside the sons and daughters of God today.
We must live according to our faith, not by the report of man. There maybe a negative report, but we don't have to accept it by bowing to it, we can choose to live according to the promises of God, in spite of the report.

I have people telling that I must use the common sense that God gave me about my health. There is nothing common about walking by faith.
I in fact sense that the Word of God says what it means, and means what it says.
I am not bound or defind by reports, practiced medicine, or even the way I feel. Can God not change what He created according to His promises found throughout the living Word of God by healing or reversing what is damaged? Look at Jeremiah 32:27 and let the medical community answer God's question; ““Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?”
I respect the knowledge of the medical community , but I respect, honor and stand upon the truth of the written Word of God above all else.

“Jesus said to him, “What do you mean ‘if’? If you are able to believe, all things are possible to the believer.””
‭‭(Mark‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬ ‭TPT‬‬)

“Not one promise from God is empty of power. Nothing is impossible with God!”” (‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭37‬ ‭TPT‬‬)

Rise up sons and daughters of the Most High. Cast all of your care upon the Father, release and surrender anything that is not like God that holds you back and hinders you from doing His will. He goes with you, He has called you by name and anointed you to fulfill His purpose for your life. All the power of the Father, the Son and all of Heaven lives inside of you through the Holy Spirit.
Demons fear and tremble at the presence of Who dwells within you by the power of the Name of Jesus.
Your mandate from the Father is to do the will of the Father, first and foremost. You have been redeemed, and purchased with a great price. You belong to the Father and no longer to your selves, let His desires become your desires and let His will be done, not your own.
You ARE victorious... MORE than a conqueror in this life by Christ Jesus.
So today, choose to go out to be a reflection of Jesus and a demonstration of the Word of God.

Im not a traditional doctor that has been trained by other doctors. I am a spiritual doctor trained by the Holy Spirit. I don't rely on medical reports or pharmaceutical medication.
I dont practice medicine, I operate in the power of faith, the same power Jesus operated in. Im not a doctor that is a specialist, as I treat all sickness and disease.
I will never prescribe any form of natural medicine, I will only prescribe the Word of God to be taken by faith until the cure has taken place.
Below is my prescription for your physical healing.
