My Word Shall Not Return To Me Void

The Lord will never leave me nor forsake me. No matter what I am going through He loves me. The creator of the universe and all that is in it that has been created and not created, all that is visible and invisible LOVES ME! "Through" and "Love" are the operative words. I will get through it by my confession of faith and God loves me unconditionally and will see to it that my word does not return to me void.

When I am going through a trial the first thing I have to remind myself is that God loves me. I do forget this because it get wrapped up in what I am going through and how it seems to be going against everything I desire. I want so desperately to get strong at this fight of faith. That's why I am doing this blog series. I choose prosperity in every area of my life. I  know faith is my currency and I choose to be a good steward over my currency. RIGHT?! My confession must line up with the Word of God.

Confession:

Isaiah 55:11
Deuteronomy 28:1-14
Luke 10:19
John 10:5
John 10:27
Joshua 1:7

I may not; Well I probably won't include the scriptures each time. I will work on making these confessions shorter. It's just once I get going I want to include everything because the scriptures are so good.

God bless you! Have an excellent day!

The World Calls This The Law Of Attraction

Confession of God’s Word Builds Faith

The world calls this law of attraction 

The law of attraction is the name given to the belief that "like attracts like" and that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, one can bring about positive or negative results. This belief is based upon the idea that The people and their thoughts are both made from pure energy, and the belief that like energy attracts like energy. For example, if a person opened an envelope expecting to see a bill, then according to the law of attraction, the law would "confirm" those thoughts and contain a bill when opened. A person who decided to instead expect a check might, under the same law, find a check instead of a bill. by Wikipedia

 

 

Memory Text: “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith” (Mark 11:23).

 

 

Faith in Action: “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only ….” (James 1:22).

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 8:17)

As you speak these confessions out loud your faith is sure to increase.

 

Confession: Father, I am Your servant. I am an heir of salvation. I am the seed of Abraham. You love me unconditionally and without limits. Your absolute desire is for me to have life and have life more abundantly.  You knew me before I was formed in my mother's womb and you set me apart and made me great. I do say continually, let the Lord be magnified who takes pleasure in my prosperity. I exercise all authority in the spirit realm and send angels forth to execute, deliver, superintend and supply my Psalteria. I decree that my soundness is preserved and deliverance is at hand, prosperity and health is mine in the Name of Jesus. I declare that all angels are working for me right now. Angels are going to the N, S, E &W to minister on my behalf and on behalf of my family member's. They are bringing healing, protection, and preservation to my household. I release forces of Heaven to bring the Word of God to pass in my life and in my family's life. Angels, go forth now and bring in the abundant supply.

 

 

Writing this today has not been as easy as I thought it would be. The enemy tried to tell me "no one is reading your blog and no one wants to join you in confessing the Word of God. You are just confessing for nothing; it's not going to do you any good. You are just going to keep getting the same results. So why bother. Forget about it. You don't know what you even want to confess". 

This is what is really happening right now. Spiritual warfare. Such a shame. But this is what one has to deal with living in this realm as a Christian. So since that is the case I might as well shut the devil up and confess something personal to me. And if someone reads it then great I pray they are blessed. And if no one does, one thing I know for sure is I have put it out in the spiritual realm and since the Word of God is true then it cannot return to me void. I know I am not the only one who deals with this. We have the power to overcome this foolishness from the father of lies.  

Glory to God. Have a blessed day.

 

Habits and that Expectation

Hello there. Well it has been a while as usual since I last blogged. I am about to make a big commitment with this blog but first let me tell you how I arrived to this decision. I have been fighting the good fight of faith. Lol, what's new right? As I was talking to the Lord this morning I realized my expectations are out of whack. I expected the enemy to show up and try my faith more than I expected the Lord to complete my faith. Now you know that is wrong. And that is how I came up with the 30 Days of Mind Reconstructing. That means I will change this stinkin thinkin. I am not a stinker. This will be 30 days of confessing the Word of God. Everyday I am to blog a new confession of faith. That's gonna take some faith. SMH...LOL....OOOO WEEEE.... That's all I am going to say.

Oh! Before I forget, I must tell you this. Since February 19 of this year of 2013 I have released two singles from my album Loud for Christ. The album hasn't been released yet but check out the singles and LIKE THEM and TELL SOMEBODY BOUT THEM and TELL THEM TO TELL SOMEBODY....PLEASE!!! I wasn't yelling. I was just really excited! LOL...AND BUY IT!





Now with that said. I can now accept the truth that blogs do not have to be long. Sometimes the shorter the better. However this one is not going to be short. Let's talk quickly about "Habits". We are creatures of habit. Our thoughts produce our habits. Since we seem to be slaves to habits the only way to change a habit is to replace it with another habit. So today join with me in replacing the bad habit of self defeating thoughts with the good habit of confessing the Word of God. We are all winners. So don't let nobody and no circumstance tell you any differently. You may want to put these on index cards. It helps. And it helps more to read it and repeat it out loud. (That was for me.)

First let's cleanse the atmosphere! AND WERE OFF....

I thank You Father that every carnal prayer, negative statement or profanity that was spoken against me or by me is broken now, in the name of Jesus. Father, I cancel the harvest of any negative seeds sown in the atmosphere; that they are uprooted, cut off and bring forth no fruit, and the harvest of positive seeds is hastened.

Tiny Grows Greater Than All

 For the past 3 months I have made it a priority to participate in bible reading plans. I am lovin' it. It helps to read the bible in an organized way with purpose. Right now I am reading several plans. Since releasing my single King Jesus, I must admit I have gotten a bit off track. I have at least 4 days of 6 plans to catch up on. Participating in these plans have helped in giving my first fruits to the Lord in the morning, putting him first before anything else. One of my favorite plans is Today's Word with Joel and Victoria Osteen. As I went back to Feb 16th where I have to catch up from I came across The Seed Of The Word which was so appropriate for where I am right now. 

You cannot imagine or maybe you can that this journey takes a lot of faith, great dependency on God and sometimes I will admit it gets scary and so many defeating doubts try to take control but I am determined that the control will be God's. I often say I did not choose this journey but I submitted to what was put in my heart. I have always wanted to sing but felt plagued by that desire rather than claiming it as a blessing. But God awakened it and here I am. Often at times having to reflect on that to keep moving forward. It's crazy that what should be so easy because I am his child  is so against daily living in the world that it takes constant practice and you pray you are growing at the same time. 

Trying not to be wordy I wanted to share an excerpt from the following plan with you and I pray you will be encouraged.

Today's Word with Joel and Victoria Osteen

THE SEED OF THE WORD
Sometimes in the natural, we don’t see how God’s promises are going to come to pass in our lives. It seems like there are so many obstacles to overcome. But we have to see God’s Word like a seed. When it’s planted in our hearts, and we water it by thinking the right thoughts and expecting good things, that little seed begins to grow into something much, much greater.

Jesus told a parable in Mark, chapter four. He said, “God’s Word is like a tiny mustard seed.

When it is sown, it is less than all the other seeds, one of the smallest. But when it grows up, it becomes greater than all.” Notice it goes from being less than all to being greater than all.

Are you in an overwhelming situation today, maybe in your health, finances or relationships? Does God’s promise seem small compared to what you’re facing? Don’t sit back and think, “Man, it’s never going to get any better. It’s never going to change.” Instead, sow the Word by speaking it every single day. Water that seed by staying in faith because the seed of the Word has supernatural power in it. It will grow and flourish, and you will see God’s promises come to pass all the days of your life!

Prayer:

Father God, today I choose to sow the Word of God! Thank You that it will not return void, but it will accomplish what it was sent forth to do! Thank You for giving every good and perfect gift to Your children. I bless Your holy name today and always. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I AM NOT ASHAMED

Hello Readers. Thank you so much for your support in reading these blogs. This blog today is to share an email I received on Facebook regarding the Facebook post I made on November 7, 2011.

My Facebook Post: There r times when we feel like giving up but that's the time to stretch our faith. Push through. It wasn't said birthing a vision would be easy even if God gave it to u but it can be exciting. There is no fear of the unknown with Jesus because he has already said his plans are for u to prosper Jeremiah 29:11. Everything u set your hands to shall prosper Psalm 1:3. He said it now u gotta believe it.

This is the email conversation I had with a Facebook subscriber:

o    Rocky, please don't proseletyze on the MMC page - it's just not the place to do it. People's faith, spirituality, etc. are a very private & personal thing & should be kept that way. Thank you.

Raquel Roque Herring

o    Thank you Phyllis for your email but actually people's faith, spirituality, etc is not private nor personal only. People are dying all over the world because of your type of thinking regarding the word of God particularly the name of Jesus which by my love for him am I obligated and willing to praise his name in all places at all times. Those void of him my be offended but they will just have to be off-ended because I will proclaim the name of Jesus Christ all over for him and others that are being tormented, dismantled, and killed because of your type of thinking. Praise be to Jesus I will post his name. I am Loud for Christ and will not be ashamed or told when and where I can proclaim his name. Take care Phyllis just like other postings people don't have to read it.

o   So be it.

 pros·e·lyt·ize

[pros-uh-li-tahyz]

verb (used with object), verb (used without object), -ized, -iz·ing.

to convert or attempt to convert as a proselyte; recruit.

WHAT??? We live in America. This nation was supposed to have been founded on Jesus principals. People are dying and tortured all over the world for the freedom to Praise the name of Jesus yet in this country people want to silence the name of Jesus. God has been taken out of everything. They take the pledge of allegiance out of schools because it says 'one nation under God' which tells you clearly we do not all serve the same God as so many like to claim. Well listen up. I am Loud for Christ. Just like my album says (side note: and make sure you buy it when it comes out. It is excellent.) No hiding. He is mine and I am his. I am not ashamed of Jesus CHRIST. I suppose had I used Jesus' name in vain that would not have been offensive. LOL......I know she won't be buying any of my songs because all of my songs are about giving praise to Jesus and full of scriptures.

Well…well…well…. Yes so be it.

As far as “recruiting” when I make post I am not trying to recruit. I am sharing the greatness of the Lord. Read or don’t read the post. I am proclaiming him anyway. You either want Jesus or not. Is one really recruited or are their hearts and eyes opened at a certain time to the truth when they decide to believe in the Son of God and accept him as their Lord and Savior? I don’t have to recruit anyone. I just proclaim the name of Jesus. My testimony alone with recruit people. My songs and the anointing God has given them will recruit people. I don't have to recruit. What we need is more Christ and more people being loud instead of hiding because hiding is not going to change anything. And we as a whole are in need of change. Her type of thinking is killing people right here in America and they don’t even know it. 

Praise Jesus it did encourage someone on that MMC page. This is what they wrote.

I have removed their name for their privacy: Thank you...I needed to hear this about now....

I wrote the post because I needed to hear it. And if I needed to hear someone else did too.

Hallelujah

Oooooo Weeeeeee. Something about that name of Jesus that gets people off-ended. That sweet sweet glorious name of Jesus. 

Don't just keep this blog to yourself. Share it. Soon I will be asking people to join me in being Loud for Christ and I pray you will be a part of it.

  

Lastly here are some song lyric we sung in church this past Sunday.

With all that is in me
With my whole heart I will sing your praise
With all that is in me
With my whole heart I will sing your praise

You are mighty God
Great and glorious
King of Kings
Your reign victorious
Mighty God
Great and glorious 
Jesus, with my whole heart I will sing your praise.

I love you Jesus

“From the moment I caught my first wave I knew I wanted to be a Pro Surfer. Nothing else seemed to matter. Surfing is my passion, my way of life. The stoke I get from riding a perfect wave is pure joy. I was born to surf. This is why I wake up at the crack of dawn every day. This is why I endure belly rashes, reef cuts, and muscles so tired they feel like needles. And I’ve learned that life is a lot like surfing. When you get caught in the impact zone you need to get right back up because you never know what’s over the next wave. And if you have “Faith” anything is possible, anything at all.” ~ Bethany Hamilton, Soul Surfer.

How many can say that about what they are doing, what their profession is? I watched Soul Surfer for the first time yesterday.  “I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me”, Philippians 4 v13, to me was the theme of this movie. What the devil meant for harm God turned it into good. In Romans 8 v28 the scripture reads, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” KJV

 

Bethany's courage, her perseverance and the support of her family was very inspiring. It is encouraging for someone to say “this is what I was born to do”. The knock downs do not matter, the dream stealers do not matter, age does not matter and the Nay Sayers do not matter. What matters is you do what you are purposed to do.  I am encouraged by Bethany’s story. I actually remember when this happened and hearing about it on the news. I remember feeling hurt for her and her family thinking how devastating this must be for them. Certainly this was a big upset but look at how God worked it out. Look at how faith brought her through. 

 

In the interview at the end of the movie she was asked if she could go back to that day and not have gone surfing would she do it. Bethany answered, “I wouldn’t change what happened to me because then I wouldn’t have this chance in front of all you, this chance to embrace more people than I ever could have with two arms.” And what she aspired to do with two arms she still got accomplished with one and at the top of her sport as a Professional Surfer. Some people say to those aspiring to be professionally singers or actors or models or whatever people think are considered dream jobs that it is just a dream. For some perhaps but for others it is what they are born to do. 

 

I will say a dream is a vision and in the word it states in Proverbs 29 v18 "Where there is no vision the people perish but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” KJV

God speaks to us through Scripture. God still speaks directly to us day by day. How we work towards the vision given to us and our experiences will be different for each person. God says in Jeremiah 29 v11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. (KJV)” Praise Jesus how good is that?

It is not about having a fall back plan or anything other than a Jesus plan. Some people think they sound smart to say “Well, have a fall back plan.” When you know you are doing what you were born to do if you spend time falling back you spend time out of faith. And the scripture says in Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him…” I would much rather please God than my mother, father, or anyone else. The rest of that scripture says, “for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

For some the vision may not be fully realized just yet. But you can say with God confidence that it will come to pass. With God all things are possible (Matthew 19 v26). It is not a dream. It’s reality guaranteed by Almighty God.

Words from the prophet Isaiah, (Isaiah 9 v 2-end):

" The people who walked in darkness
   have seen a great light.
For those who lived in a land of deep shadows—
   light! sunbursts of light!
You repopulated the nation,
   you expanded its joy.
Oh, they're so glad in your presence!
   Festival joy!
The joy of a great celebration,
   sharing rich gifts and warm greetings.
The abuse of oppressors and cruelty of tyrants—
   all their whips and cudgels and curses—
Is gone, done away with, a deliverance
   as surprising and sudden as Gideon's old victory over Midian.
The boots of all those invading troops,
   along with their shirts soaked with innocent blood,
Will be piled in a heap and burned,
   a fire that will burn for days!
For a child has been born—for us!
   the gift of a son—for us!
He'll take over
   the running of the world.
His names will be: Amazing Counselor,
   Strong God,
Eternal Father,
   Prince of Wholeness.
His ruling authority will grow,
   and there'll be no limits to the wholeness he brings.
He'll rule from the historic David throne
   over that promised kingdom.
He'll put that kingdom on a firm footing
   and keep it going
With fair dealing and right living,
   beginning now and lasting always.
The zeal of God-of-the-Angel-Armies
   will do all this."

What Casey Anthony?

I remember the beginning developments of the case of Casey Anthony. I arrived in Florida and within just a day or so in being there the world was impacted with this news. My mother had us watching the uncovering of this case every day. I had and have plenty of thoughts but cannot say they are valid as I was not there. Yet the testimonies at that time didn’t add up, didn’t make sense, and seemed everyone was on a mission for a mad cover up.

Unfortunately in this world system it seems whether there is evidence or not or whether someone is truly innocent or guilty is not what matters. What matters is what you get a jury of people to believe or not believe. Who will be more convincing the defense or the prosecutor? Is the jury pure or tampered with and by whom? I have sat unbiased in court and observed evidence explicitly prove contrary to the prosecutor’s case and a guilty verdict still came forward. I have watched a long serving judge blatantly lead the jury into their biased conviction and this some how goes unnoticed, unchallenged, and proceeds to be acceptable. I have watched an entire game played to conquer the desired results. Doesn’t mean the person was innocent or guilty but it means there is a system that is designed to produce the results of the powers that be in many cases.

I don’t know if Casey Anthony did it or did not. What I think doesn’t constitute the truth. What I do know is this, there is accountability. I know that no deed goes unrewarded. We may never see the rewards with our natural eyes for another and that is sometimes a hard pill to swallow. Whether one is innocent or guilty we are not always be able to determine correctly but everyone must pay up good or bad. There is a law in effect all the time, reaping and sowing. It’s in the true Word 2 Tim 3:16/2 Peter 1:20-21 and even the world agrees, in the reaping and sowing that is.

Sadly a two year old who never had the chance to experience the beauty of life is dead. Tragically it was her own, gratefully it was no one elses child.

I will leave you with this. Jesus the only innocent without any sin that ever was, was found guilty with plenty of evidence against him. Praise Jesus he lives….Jesus saves.
