For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. My frame wasn't hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.... -
For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees? But if we hope for that which we don't see, we wait for it with patience. Romans 8:24 WEB'Oh I don't want to face tomorrow. I have a bad, bad, feeling about this.' On and on we go into a spiral of sel...

Baby Jesus from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Today I want to talk about “Who is Jesus?” I feel that we take it for granted that people actually know that much about Him. In the world we see Jesus as a baby in a manger, then crucified on a cross. The life of Jesus seems to span...
Jezebel Spirit Uprising!

Fear, control, manipulation, and intimidation are all signs of an oppressive spirit in operation. Wherever the Holy Spirit is moving through a Prophetic Voice (the Church), a Jezebel spirit will attempt to use tactics of fear, threats, and intimidation to silence the move of God (1 Kings 18-19). We must remember we are dealing with a spirit and not people groups, or individual persons. It's important to discern what's behind actions, attitudes, behaviors, and motives before confronting a situation head on and with personal agendas.
When we discern a Jezebel spirit operating through a region, city, church, or movement, we are to expose the spirit, pull down the stronghold, pray for its victims; then give all involved an opportunity to repent and turn from their wicked ways.
Wherever there's a Jezebel spirit in operation, an Ahab spirit is not far behind her; a weak and permissive leader, with codependent tendencies (1 Kings 16:30-31). Jezebel will target anyone who is willing to concede to her tactics to accomplish her agenda. We must not fall prey to the uprising of a Jezebel spirit at this hour. Accusations, word curses, slander, and tactics of intimidation are all forms of witchcraft coming through the influence of a Jezebel spirit.
As a people of God, we have the authority to pull down every stronghold that's attempting to erect walls of division and discord throughout the land. We have free access to call upon Heavens Angelic Hosts, to battle the forces of darkness on our behalf (2 Cor. 10:3-5, Job 22:28, Psalm 91:11-12).
We are a people who actively engage in prayer (2 Chron. 7:14). We have weapons of warfare to overcome and prevail over every evil plot and attack of the enemy (Eph. 6:13-18). The Word of God in our mouth is sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). Life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21).
Let's exercise our power to work for good and not for evil. May we not fall prey to the enemies devices (2 Cor. 2:11). Let us operate in the Fruits of the Spirit and not from the flesh (Gal. 5:22-23). Amen? Amen!
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12.

That is a good word right there :)
Sooooo true! and happens more often than we think....

Let us choose God's word not the words of our flesh!
