2 Corinthians 10:5

5. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every “thought” captive to the obedience of Christ,

Hope your morning is going well. I want to encourage you family to do not stop praying, stay focus. Satan wants you to stop praying and soaking in God presence. He wants you to stop praying in your home, at your job, and at church or where ever you go. He wants to blind you so your focus will be off of God and on the cares of this world. Remember Jesus told Peter, “It is Satan’s desire to sift you as wheat, but I have prayed for you”. If one of you are on the verge of giving up on praying, giving up on your promise. Don’t, because that is what Satan wants you to do. He wants you to think and accept defeat. We have to know the power and authority we have down on the inside that will indeed shake heaven. We have to know we can go to the heavens and put on our full amour, to put Satan in his place, which is under your feet. Know that Satan walks around seeking whom he may devour, but know Saints of God that the Father has prayed for you, and still is. As well as the Holy Spirit, He is praying for you and interceding on your behalf everyday. Stay focus family and know that your prayers, your soaking and your righteousness are not in vain. It for the glory of God, and it is for the crown that is waiting for you if you faint not. In revelation it says, “Hold fast and don’t let ANYONE” take your crown! Satan wants to take your peace, your joy, and your wholeness in God. Don’t allow him to do this, take your peace, joy and wholeness by force, letting him know this is my treasure, and you can’t have it in Jesus name. If your mind is on your finances, those bills, that job, that car, that spouse, that friend get it off of them, and cast your cares upon God. We have to cast down all imagination(s) that is in our mind because if our minds are gone then we are not able to stay focus. If your mind is on Jesus, His peace and His word, stay there and don’t let go of it. That is where you need to be, constantly. Because if your mind is stayed on God then you can’t help but to have peace in Him, and if your peace is worth taking then Satan should have it, but I promise you if you fight this good fight of faith and put your foot in his neck, then you will maintain your peace. But if it is taken, constantly, then what is the use of you fighting with faith?

My encouragement to you is……

Stay focused and travail in His presence and stay at His feet.

Have A Focused Day!

The Message Bible

2 Corinthians 11:3

3. And now I'm afraid that exactly as the Snake seduced Eve with his smooth patter, you are being lured away from the simple purity of your love for Christ.

The Lord put so heavy in my spirit to don’t lose focus. He told me the reason why is because once you are off focus everything changes. He told me don’t let things, people, situations, problems and predicaments get the best of me. He told me to shake it off. How many of you shake off stuff that tries to make you lose focus? We fall sometimes before we are able to stop from losing focus. God want our total focus on Him not on, people, circumstances, predicament, finances, work or anything that will make your focus change you from being on Him to being on the negative.

In closing,

It’s easy to lose focus, but it can be hard to gain your focus back when you are too far off focus. I am glad that God shelter us from all dangers seen and unseen, weapons that try to form against us, and how He rebukes every attack from the enemy so they won’t prosper. God is telling us today to don’t lose focus. Keep our focus on Him. He will watch the people, job, finances, problems, situations and predicaments, all we have to do is to remain in His presence and let Him watch our back. Satan wants us to lose focus, our focus should be praying, seeking His face and soaking in His presence, not allowing Satan to distract us. Know that distraction is from him, and believe me you, he stays on his job, so we got to stay on ours by praying, rebuking, putting our foot in his neck, and casting out in Jesus name, to keep him in his place. Amen.

My encouragement to you is

Satan will use anything and anybody to keep your focus off God and on him, so don’t let it happen. Also make sure you are not weak because Satan pulls on us when we are weak. Question, are you weak, not saying you are weak and are a weak Christian, sometimes you can become weak when your focus change? In order to keep yourself grounded you have to keep your spirit fed by constantly reading His word, praying and worshiping God. I thank God for the Holy Spirit because He stays on us and pulls on us until our focus changes off of Satan and on God. Evaluate your life and see what has caused you to lose focus because anything will get us off focus if you are not careful. When you evaluate everything give it to God and stay focus.

Are You Ready To Stay focus?

Me Too!!!

Have A Wonderful Day!

Love,
