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!

Love,
