God-Our Deliverer (Moshia’)


 

How many of you know that God is a deliverer. The Hebrew word for “My deliverer” is “Moshia.”

Moshia- Deliverer. One who “makes wide” or “makes sufficient.” One who gives freedom from distress and the ability to pursue one’s way.

Proverbs 3:25-26 Amplified Bible

“Be not afraid of sudden terror and panic, nor of the stormy blast or the storm and ruin of the wicked when it comes [for you will be guiltless], For the Lord shall be your confidence, firm and strong, and shall keep your foot from being caught [in a trap or some hidden danger].”

We do not need to be afraid. God will deliver us so we have this confidence that we can be strong in the Lord and the power of His might! Amen! He is able to deliver us out of them all.

Psalm 34:17 Amplified Bible


“When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their distress and troubles.”

Deliverance does require faith on our behalf. We take the first step in believing God and His saving grace through Jesus Christ, Yahshua Ha’Mashiach, and God’s hand is in the midst. Righteousness and faith go hand in hand. Put on the breastplate of righteousness and the shield of faith and the whole armor of God and fight the good fight of faith.

Psalm 37:40 Amplified Bible


“And the Lord helps them and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they trust and take refuge in Him.”

We have to come to Him for deliverance. His hands are always open and ready to receive us but we have to trust and take refuge in Him, Our Deliverer, Moshia.

1 Corinthians 10:13 King James Version


“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

Say, “HE IS MY DELIVERER!” Amen! He is faithful! Don’t doubt…just SHOUT!

Get Low


God says He will exalt us in His time. We need to take the lowest seat, in humility, and allow God to exalt us in due time. Our gifts will make room for us. Let not pride rise up because it is something that God hates and soon a fall WILL come making us GET LOW face first back where we need to be. So sometimes our mistakes make us better, when we allow God to humble us through it.

Take humility as a part of the breastplate of righteousness, the armor of God, and fill your heart with love and submission in humility. (Yes, I’m talking to myself !)

1 Peter 5:5-11

New International Version (NIV)

5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,

“God opposes the proud
    but shows favor to the humble.”

6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Don’t let the devil get you down today! Get low with God and stand firm in the faith!

Walk in the Spirit,

Prophetess Deanna Mack

Luke 14:7-11


New International Version (NIV)

7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable: 8 “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. 9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. 10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. 11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Obey and Serve

 
 
In this country we live in, people sign up for the armed forces to defend this country. They vow to protect and serve and to obey the rules and regulations set forth by the government for their offices. They do it to the death.

There is also an army of believers who sign up in the Lord’s army, vowing to give up their life in service to the Lord. The armed forces of this earth inherit a corruptible crown and the army of believers and incorruptible, if they obey and serve.

Job 36:11 says, “If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.”

Now, we know God has said he has come to give us life and life more abundantly.

David said, “I remain confident of this:  I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13

It is His good will and pleasure to give us the kingdom and good things in the earth. He desires to bless us right now. But if we are not obedient and serving the Lord, those blessings are bound up in heaven and the earth UNTIL your obedience comes in line with Him. Amen!

We have to build God’s house, a spiritual house, and serve Him in the spirit and in the physical.

If we obey and serve God, our days on this earth will be prosperous and full of pleasures. But what is obedience? Is it following every rule from the old testament? What are the rules and regulations of God’s army?

Matthew 22:37 says, “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

When they tempted Jesus and asked Him about inheriting eternal life, Jesus pointed back to what was WRITTEN in the law. The man replied, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Jesus said, “Do this and LIVE!” But they asked who is our neighbor? Jesus replied with the parable of the good Samaritan who was there for his neighbor when he was beaten and robbed and the Samaritan nursed him back to health, paid for his lodging, and showed the love of God to his neighbor when others who were religious has passed him by.

We have to learn to love beyond ourselves. God’s love for us is so immaculate in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Though we have sinned against God and turned our backs on Him, He remains faithful and nurses us back to health spiritually and physically when we are in need. We too have to be ready to serve God in obedience, and be ready always to meet the needs of others, and love as God loves us.

Love is the answer to all things. When we love God we will obey Him. When we love God we will serve Him and others.

John 14:21 says, “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”

If we desire to see God in the land of the living, we got to do like David did and get before Him daily, lift our voices to him, do what pleases the Lord, call on him in prayer, and with thanksgiving honor Him. In this we love Him and obey Him.

1 Timothy 4:8 says, “For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.”

The life that now is, is the land of the living, the life on this earth and Jesus came to give us life abundantly. So let us give to God of our selves, offering our lives a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to Him. Lay aside everything that is weighing us down and keeping us from pressing forward to our upward calling in Christ Jesus.

Let us be living witnesses of His divine grace, love and mercy, and favor. Let us give God the first fruits of our increase and consecrate and set aside an offering well pleasing to the Lord; not only of our time but also of our resources. Try God and see if He will not open up the heavens and pour out an overflow of blessings.  

Isn’t he worthy! We do all things unto the Lord and He is faithful and His word will NOT return to Him void, it will come to pass.

It is our Father’s will to give us the good of the land. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof and no one can take you away from the love of God. Hold on to this hope and keep your trust in the Lord.

This is the season of your blessing. Now, go get it!

Hope-Turn up to Him


Hope-Turn up to Him
 
 



Somebody needs to hear, “hold on”. “Don’t give up.” “Your battle is already won”. “Trust in the Lord.”

 

John 6:37 says,

“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”

 

If we just run to Jesus with all our issues, all our worries, all our troubles, He is already there. His hand is outstretched to you, waiting for you come to Him. The Lord told Peter to come to him walking on the water, but when Peter doubted he began to sink. Peter looked at the circumstances around him and began to doubt what he was capable to do, if he kept his eyes on Jesus.

 

God will equip us to overcome our circumstances and walk on water to Him. We just got to keep our eyes on Jesus. Turn up to Him. He will never refuse you or cast you out when you come to Him. There is nothing you have done or could do to keep you away from the love of God. All you got to do is call Him.

 

The just shall live by FAITH. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things unseen. We have to walk this good walk of FAITH and THEN we can walk on water with Jesus.

 

Increase our faith Lord. Let us walk on water over these circumstances, over these situations, over these hurdles, Lord make it plain and deliver us from evil. Let the blood of Jesus cover our sins and your love permeate our hearts with perfect peace.

 

So walk this walk of Faith in confidence that the Lord is our help and if we just cast our cares at the feet of Jesus, He will forgive us our sins and heal our land. He is mighty to save and a near and present help.

 

You are ever so precious is the heart of God. All you got to do is call him and He will give peace beyond understanding and blessing beyond measure. He is faithful and just and true and you have this hope that no one can pluck you out of His hand. If you have confessed the Lord Jesus as your Lord and Savior and have believed with all your heart that He was raised from the dead in 3 days, you are His. No matter where you go, no matter what you do, He is there for you and He is calling you to a higher relationship with Him.

 

Keep hope alive today. Believe in the Lord Jesus! Turn up to Him. For He is able to keep you from stumbling. Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might!

Be Strong in the Lord and The Power of His Might




Out of nowhere, one recent morning the title of this post hit me and became a chant, a beat, and a song. I was just about to open my bible and study Ecclesiastes 2:26, but the Lord led me in another direction. How many of you know that these are the most blessed times? I love when God speaks in the moment, a right now word. I know it was for me, but I share it because I also know He has purposed me to share it and encourage others with it. So be strong in the Lord and in the POWER of HIS might.

Once me and the kids chanted and sang this a while, I got excited and opened up the bible to Ephesians 6 where we find this quote:

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 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.  Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

First of all the battle is not ours, it is the Lord’s. That is why we must fight on our knees and in the word of God. That is what it means to be strong IN the LORD, not in ourselves because the flesh is weak, but the spirit is indeed willing. Amen!

God supplies all of our needs according to His riches in glory. He meets our spiritual needs according to what we put in, providing us with a spiritual harvest and power through HIM to stand.

The things affecting us in the physical, are spiritual. We can’t see them or touch them but they are there and we feel the effects of it. Our enemy is the devil, not our neighbors. That is why God says love your neighbors yourself and love your enemies because it is not them we war against but there are “principalities…rulers of darkness…spiritual hosts of wickedness” tempting us to stumble. So we can’t fight this fight with our hands or with weapons of this earth but the battle is the Lord’s and we must fight in the spirit with the armor of God.

“Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—“

1.      Truth around our waist. Truth protects from lies. The enemy will have you to believe a lie so you can turn from God or disobey Him. But when we have truth girded around our waist, we stand firm on the solid rock of Jesus Christ and know that the truth sets us free.

2.      Righteousness on our chest. Righteousness protects the heart. By covering our chest with the righteousness of God we can overcome evil; the lust of the eyes, the lust of flesh, AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE.

3.      We must be prepared with the gospel of peace. In this way, everyone we meet and those in our household receive the peace of God through us. Wherever our feet go, we have to be ready to give peace, love, and joy in the Holy Ghost. When we go in peace, we can go anywhere. So peace protects our feet.

4.      The bible says “ABOVE ALL…FAITH.” Without faith it is impossible to please God so FAITH is the most important spiritual tool to fight this good fight of FAITH. We need God and He fights the battles in the spiritual realm by our FATIH. By FAITH we will be able to block all the plots of the enemy against us, our children, and others. Faith protects our whole life.

5.      Salvation covers our head. By His grace the blood of Jesus is poured over us as the Passover Lamb for redemption and protection. Death no longer has the victory over us. Salvation protects our mind, and we have the mind of Christ.

6.      The word of God is our sword. Everything else protects us defensively, but the sword of the spirit is our offense and what we actually use against the enemy. We are built up a spiritual house by hearing the word of God. When the enemy comes to attack us on all sides, we can stand and speak life, the word of truth, which is the word of God.

So be strong in the Lord and His mighty strength for He is able to deliver us out of the hand of the enemy. We must put on the WHOLE armor of God and all we have to do is STAND! May God bless you with strength from on high and faith beyond measure.

Walk In The Spirit.

A Spiritual Harvest


 

How many of you desire spiritual gifts? Yes, I’m sure most or all of us do. But to who much is given much is required. Remember we talked earlier about building God’s house. Our spiritual bank account with God can run high, low, in the middle, or even in the negative. Anybody been there? I have. My husband calls running in the negative bad checks and God desires to put good checks in your account, Amen!

There was a point in my life where I gave up Jesus,  reading my bible, gave up prayer, and gave up desiring to please God and I began to walk more in the way that pleased me, flesh. What led to this was much stress and striving over the word of God and who Jesus is. I became confused and the enemy had me defeated.

It was a short time but too long. I began to feed my flesh in watching and listening to non-spiritual things. Things that are harmful to walking in the spirit and reaping a spiritual harvest. Revelations disappeared, spiritual gifts were gone, the devil no longer attacked me in my dreams. When the devil is no longer worrying about you, you are no longer reaping a spiritual harvest. It is those who are the enemy wants to take over.

What you put in must come out; so be careful little eyes and ears, because we are the temple of God and what God will not allow in His house sure enough don’t need to be in this vessel of His. Some things ARE harmful to the spirit. Amen!?!

But how many of you know that God is married to the backslider? Yes He is. I received a vision of Jesus about 3 months into my vanity and God revealed himself to me as my Savior, the Son of God and Son of Man, The Light, the Messiah, crucified and beaten and bruised for my sins. He told me to read John 3 and 4 and began to rebuild my faith again. I had previously been trying hard to earn my way to heaven, trying to be perfect, but God said just believe, have faith, it is finished, that is why Jesus came into this world.

His will must go forth in me for He has called me for a purpose. He babied me back to spiritual health, and still is, as I build His house.

What I have learned is that to reap a spiritual harvest, we must sow to the spirit.

Galatians 6:7-10

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.  Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”

Therefore, Beloved of God let us put in what we desire God to do in us. What are you desiring God to do? What gifts have you left unattended? Why are we still struggling? Sow to the spirit and reap spiritual goodness and everlasting fruit of the Spirit. The work of the Lord goes forth in the Sprit. The weapons of our warfare are spiritual and mighty in God for breaking strongholds.

2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.”

The more we put in the more we get out of it. Whether it be good or evil, we will reap what we sow and the measure is according to our sowing.

When we sow in our garden seeds for an expected harvest, we can only expect what we put out there to grow and nothing more. When we sow to the spirit, it’s the same concept. We will get what we put in and reap the spiritual harvest that we earned.

God says in Luke 6:38, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

Are you ready to reap your spiritual harvest? Begin to spend quality time with God. No more excuses! Get it done and watch how God blesses you! It is His desire to give you “a land flowing with milk and honey.” We look to His kingdom and His righteousness and without Him we are nothing.

If we open our hearts to Him today and let Him feed us of His Manna from Heaven, the Bread of Life, out of our bellies will flow rivers of Living Water. Amen!

Walk In the Spirit,
