Declaration of the Reinstatement of Donald John Trump!

Filed under: Reality Blogging,Uncategorized — Tags: Donald John Trump, duly elected, election, president, Trump — admin @ 12:39 am

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security”

Whereas, We the People, have witnessed endless offenses against our duly elected president by its own government,

Whereas, We the People, have witnessed and seen proven massive voter fraud perpetrated against our duly elected leader’s incumbency,

Whereas, We the People, have seen proven abuses against our elected leader while in office and while running for office in 2016 and in 2020, conducted by our very own DOJ, FBI, and other unelected bureaucrats ,working with the news media and social media abusing our trust in these institutions,

Whereas, We the People have seen documented proof of voter fraud, ballot stuffing, illegally altering votes through voting machine tallies, altering voting laws, and other flagrant abuses against the integrity of our 2020 election and the trueness of our vote!

Whereas, these concerns were all brought to our government in the proper constituted manner and we were denied our rights to freely examine our votes state by state, Whereas, We the People , have even been indicted, persecuted, and silenced for standing up and voicing our concerns against these and many other atrocities,

Whereas, our duly elected leader, has been mercilessly persecuted by our very own government for simply doing what he was elected to do and conforming to the will of the people, His civil rights have been grossly violated in unending ways!

Whereas, tthis doubt to the actual genuineness of our election has led to an unelected leader who has not conformed to the laws of our government, and has continually ignored our constitution and the desires of our founders by repeated atrocities against our democracy and the will of the people, i.e. against our border laws, against our sovereignty as a nation, by abandoning military equipment allowing our enemies to retrieve this vital military weaponry, handing over a strategic air base to China, engaging in activities that could lead to World War III, housing illegally obtained classified documents, receiving monies from foreign powers, cocaine abuse in the White House, debauchery, and other extremely concerning atrocities not fitting of a president!

We the People demand our duly elected president, Donald John Trump, be reinstated, as he fulfilled his duties as our president against all matter of evil thwarted against him, and natural, ordained, and constitutional processes were not followed. Statistical trends in voting collected for decades clearly show Donald John Trump was the elected leader in the 2020 race! Therefore, We the People ask the full powers of the presidency be given to Donald John Trump and removed from the falsely named president, Joe Biden! Biden should be swiftly removed along with judges and leaders appointed by him, as well as, laws he enforced be ripped from our system for they were not the elected will of the people! Our duly elected president should be given 4 years to serve out his term beginning January 6, 2024. No new election is required because the election was stolen from him!

Signed, We the People

Homeschooling 101: 10 Easy Steps To Homeschooling

Filed under: homeschooling — Tags: Christian homeschooling, homeschooling, homeschooling 101, homeschooling help, how to homeschool, unit studies for homeschoolers — admin @ 10:47 am

Homeschooling 101, there are 10 easy steps to homeschooling your children which are guaranteed to take the frustration out of this amazing journey. Homeschooling is such a great benefit to your children and to yourself! Do not let this overwhelm you!

As a mom of 11 children who was blessed to homeschool 10 at one time, I can testify you are the best teacher for your children. No one cares more about their education then you. Though this blog is designed to help you, this Homeschooling 101 course is about you being you!

Each of your children have such unique characteristics, and you know their inner workings and what motivates them like no one else. Realize this moment, you are fully equipped to do this. Decide to plunge into this adventure wholeheartedly, the rewards outweigh all the work and sacrifice. Decide to enjoy this journey. Make each homeschooling day- a day of adventure and fun. Wishing you joy in this task!

Homeschooling 101: The Steps

Step 1: What do I need to get started? First and foremost, pray and ask God for His wisdom and leadership. If you are not a Christian, I will be praying for you! The Creator of all things desires to help you create the best homeschooling 101 experience specific to you and your family!

Step 2: Join HSLDA! You must learn the homeschooling requirements for your state and stay true to those goals. HSLDA has all the information needed to get started. They also can connect you with homeschooling groups within your state, curriculum book fairs, provide help every step of your path, while guiding you with resources to help you stay current with your state’s requirements.

JOIN HSLDA HERE

Step 3: Choose a curriculum best for you and your children. My favorite was Christian Liberty because they incorporate a variety of the best homeschooling curriculum into one easy to use site. Christianbook.com also provides a huge inventory of the absolute best curriculum to choose from. Both links are included here:

CHRISTIAN LIBERTY

CHRISTIAN BOOK

Get Organized

Step 4: Purchasing a good Lesson Plan book is essential to your Homeschooling 101 plan. This lesson planner will be your friend. After looking at the scope and sequence (a list of the concepts, topics, and material that is covered in a book, course, or the lesson plans of a particular curriculum) of your children’s curriculum, you will use this lesson planner to add daily tasks that will help them complete their goals weekly, monthly, quarterly until the expected end.

These lesson planners may be used even for new readers. Because the ages of my children varied I even used pictures to help our youngest understand their assignments-this helped them feel like they could get up and get started just like their older siblings.

I do recommend drawing or writing encouraging notes to your kids on a weekly basis in these planners. This is where you completely design your homeschooling to fit you! It is your very own children’s planners– fill them with your personality and love. My favorite planner can be found at: https://www.milestonebooks.com/item/1-19081/?list=Teacher_Helps

Some Details

Step 5: Read over the curriculum and familiarize yourself with the books in a general way. You do not need to read every book. Remember this is a learning experience for the whole family. What you have forgotten from schooling days you will become refreshed together as you study with your kids and you will learn new things together. Enjoy the journey!

Step 6: Decide what you must do weekly to complete your curriculum in your chosen time frame. Some school all year with a month off, others follow traditional school time with a 2- or 3-month break. The good news is you can create your own timetable based on your family’s schedules. When our children were younger on beautiful days, we would head to the park after breakfast and enjoy an hour or more of playing, and head home for a relaxing day of learning. You are not only the best teacher, but the best activity coordinator for your family. You know what works best like no one else ever could!

You Are Almost There

Step 7: Purchase notebooks, pencils, pens, paper, craft or experiment supplies you will need on a weekly or monthly basis, whichever suits you best.

Step 8: Homeschooling 101 day by day: Write the lessons for the week in your child’s lesson planner. Give each of them daily assignments. Expect them to begin work each morning and plan a time to meet with them to go over, teach, and correct. Depending on ages of children and/or lesson for the day, you will know whether to meet with them early in the day or later after they have completed their assignment. Younger children may need to sit at a table with you throughout the time of school to receive ongoing assistance. Your older children can read and answer questions in some subjects and then meet later for teaching, exams, etc.

Step 9: Be prudent, but flexible. Though you do want to honor this privilege by being judicious and establishing a good routine; be pliable when it calls for a bit of flexibility. Homeschooling is so chock full of educational value and lack of wasted time you will easily obtain your goals if you remain consistent. Allow for visits to grandma’s, field trips, parks, etc. that can enhance your homeschooling days. You are free!

Step 10: Be thankful for this gift. When you look back you will appreciate the gift of being able to spend your children’s best days together! Time goes too fast. Quality time with them is a treasure. You are building so much more than a school, you are building bridges to their future and to yours. It is well worth it all!

WOW – so this is how homeschooling 101 looks. You are destined for this journey! You will do what you thought you never could because you love and care for those gifts given to you from above like no one else ever could. You will give your children everything they need to grow into amazing adults who learn from the very ones God entrusted with to teach them well!

Deuteronomy 6:5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Jesus finished His Work-It is Finished! Act Accordingly!

Filed under: Charleen's Kitchen of Life,Reality Blogging — Tags: All authority has been given, God does not lie, He must flee, It is finished, Resist the enemy, Submit to God — admin @ 8:36 am

Jesus finished His Work-It is finished! Act Accordingly! If Yeshua finished His “work” (to destroy the works of the enemy 1 John 3:3), why are we seeing the devil’s work all around us? Is God a man that He would lie? (Numbers 23:19) No, not at all! He finished His work and sat down at the right hand of God the Father Almighty! (Hebrews 10:11-14)

It is imperative that we remember He gave authority to us, His church, to trample snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy. (Luke 10:19) What are we doing with all that power? (Romans 8:11)? I know what I do sometimes, and it is so pathetic of me-I whine to the Lord about how I need Him to help me even after all He has done, all He has sacrificed, and all He has provided.

Could it be that we, the Church, are not stepping up here? Yes, His very own children are the main issue in what we see as way too many lives falling into sin, sickness, and destruction. We have allowed the enemy to rule when our Father sent HIs very own Son to destroy the work of the enemy; handing us the keys!(Matthew 16:19) When we, His church submit to Him and seek Him first (Matthew 6:33) and decide to resist the enemy, and the enemy must and will flee! (James 4:7-10)

It is finished! It is time for us to wake up and act accordingly! He completely finished His work! It is our turn! If we are fed up with seeing the enemy destroying people, communities, churches, children, etc. all around us; we must act accordingly! Resist the enemy and watch him flee! How can we act accordingly? (Ephesians4:27-30)

Whatever God says, start believing! Is not every jot and tittle of His Word fact, not fiction? (Matthew 5:18, John 11:40, Matthew 11:24)
Submit to God! (Matthew 6:33) Give Him 1st place!
Resist the enemy by doing exactly what Jesus did, use HIs Word as the strong powerful weapon it is! (Matthew 4:4, 1 Peter 5:8-9, Jeremiah 23:29)
Praise the Lord till you see the results! (2 Chronicles 20:22, Acts 16:25-26)

We will stand with you in this fight and we are happy to provide assistance. Let us honor our God and His Son by using all the power provided us and watch the enemy flee! To receive periodic texts of encouragement, please go to: https://www.familylifewinners.com/ambassador-journey

Becoming One – Two Shall Become One Flesh

Filed under: Charleen's Kitchen of Life,Family Relationships — Tags: Becoming One, marriage devotional, One flesh, Two become one, two shall become one flesh — admin @ 5:30 pm

Becoming One 7-Day Marriage Devotional

Genesis 2:24 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.”

Matthew 19:5 “and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

Mark 10:8 “and the two shall become one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.”

Ephesians 5:31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

Day 1

Meditate on Mark 10:8. The word “one” denotes ONENESS in such a way that others are excluded. Do you always think about your spouse as the same as yourself in your thoughts, your actions, your soul, or in your choices? Ask the Lord to help you see your spouse as a very part of your body as if your spouse equals you. Forget the psychologists who try to call some forms of oneness, codependence. Ask the Lord to strip away all worldly ideas on marriage and make a decision today to be truly one with your mate. Ask the Lord for grace on this journey and make a commitment to discover what He means by becoming one.

Day 2

Meditate on Genesis 2:24. If you and your spouse are one, there should be no division when it comes to walking out your values. Talk about your thoughts on ethical matters and make sure they align with His Word. Repent for any disunity you have had due to continuing unethical thinking contrary to His Holy Word. Ask Him to help you become truly one.

Day 3

Look in the mirror. Meditate on James 1:23-25 “For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty and abides by it not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer this man will be blessed in what he does.”

Are you seeing yourself as one with your spouse, completely united at the hip? Are you taking the same care of your spouse as yourself or as your own body? Do you want to be a doer of HIs Word? There are no options. You are one flesh! Proceed accordingly! Decide to remember who you are in Christ and who you are pertaining to your spouse every time you look into a mirror.

Day 4

Meditate on Ephesians 5:31. One also means to be united most closely in will, and spirit; a single, one thing exclusive of the rest; one and the same; primarily one; the same in importance and esteem.

Write a list of things that you seem to be completely one in, as well as, a list of things you are not. Take that list and share it with one another. Decide to decimate the things that divide you, and begin to enhance the things that make you one. If we truly want to follow Christ, is this a choice?

Day 5

One flesh is our goal only because the Lord commanded this for us. Meditate on Ephesians 5:22-32 “Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord for the husband is head of the wife as also Christ is head of the church and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her that He might sanctify and cleanse her with washing of water by the word that He might present her to Himself a glorious church not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy without blemish. So, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body of His flesh and His bones. For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh. This is a great mystery but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”

How are you aligning with His plan for marriage? Repent for any way you have been dishonoring His Word! Make a list of ways you can help one another restore, reclaim, and recover all the Lord wants for your marriage. Give this the importance His Word demands.

Day 6

Our flesh can be defined as the part that can be stripped off from the bone; the soft substance of living body which covers the bones and is permeated with blood; animal nature with its cravings which incite our physical nature and can be subject to suffering sin.

How deeply do you see yourself as one flesh? Are you experiencing in your own body your spouse’s sufferings? Are you fighting as if it were you going through whatever the circumstance? If we are truly one flesh, we should find their experiences ours, the same pains, the same hurts, and the same joys! We can also appropriate by faith the extraordinary saving results of the violent death endured by Christ our Savior for one another. Becoming one is becoming inter-dependent, shutting he door on any opposition from the enemy of our souls. If His blood truly permeates us, will we allow Him, the Word become flesh to rule every aspect of our lives?

Day 7

Meditate on these: “Let thy husband render to the wife due benevolence and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife has no power over her own body but the husband, and likewise also the husband has no power of his own body but the wife.” This is found in 1 Corinthians 7: 3-4. “Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge giving honor to the wife as to the weaker vessel and as being heirs together of the grace of God that your prayers be not hindered.” (1 Peter 3:7)

These are profound Scriptures! Are His Words merely suggestions, or are His Words our commands? How are you measuring up to His commandments? Plan together how to bring your marriage in order under His truth. Decree: “We are becoming One!”

Decide to continue this 7-day prayer focus until His Word becomes flesh within. Ask the Lord to give you your own Scriptures to expand on.

“May the God who gives this patience and encouragement help you live in complete harmony with one another as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:6 Amen! He has provided all we need to become one flesh!

How To Have A Quiet Time With God

Filed under: G2G Devotional — Tags: How To Have A Quiet Time With God — admin @ 8:49 pm

How To Have A Quiet Time With God

Have you ever felt the need to get off by yourself and get away from all the craziness going on? This happens to all of us. So that we don’t lose ourselves to the fast-paced life swirling around us, it is so important to learn how to have a quiet time with God as often as possible.

These Scriptures are a reminder of why we benefit from a quiet time with the Lord:

Mark 1:35 “Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left [the house], and went out to a secluded place, and was praying there.”

Lamentations 3:40-41“Let us search out and examine our ways,
And turn back to the Lord; Let us lift our hearts and hands To God in heaven.”

Psalm 139:24 “And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.”

Isaiah 26:9 “With my soul I have desired You in the night, yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.”

Learning to do a Quiet Time with God

I learned the most valuable lesson regarding my walk with the Lord when I attended a youth conference as a youth leader. Though I had been serving the Lord, loving Him dearly, I had never heard about “quiet times”, which seems so ludicrous now, even as I am writing this.

I was reading my Bible, praying, doing lots of Spiritual things, but learning how to do a quiet time with God revolutionized my life. This should be a regular part of every day. (A quiet time is time set apart every day–to hear the Lord, to seek Him, to read and study His Word, to worship, and to enjoy the benefits of a relationship with Him.) These are dangerous times. We must hear Him and walk in a close personal bond with Him.

Discipline Yourself

1 Timothy 4:1-7 “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the word of God and prayer. If you point out these instructions to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished [through study] on the words of the faith and of the good [Christian] doctrine which you have closely followed. But have nothing to do with irreverent folklore and silly myths. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness [keeping yourself spiritually fit].”

Prayer and Confession About a Quiet Time:

Prayer: Father, may we never depart from the faith. Sanctify us by Your Word and prayer. May Your Word constantly nourish us. Help us to discipline ourselves for the purpose of godliness remaining spiritually fit. Help me to make it a priority to learn how to have a quiet time with God, my loving Father.

Confession: I will never depart from the faith. I will discipline myself for godliness and remain spiritually fit.

Do You Believe That Jesus Is Our Advocate?

Filed under: G2G Devotional — Tags: Jesus is our advocate — admin @ 8:18 pm

Jesus is Our Advocate

Sometimes when we examine ourselves, we forget the truth that Jesus is our advocate. On our behalf, He did not leave us as orphans but sent His Spirit to live within us as our advocate. Holy Spirit within us can sift through us very quickly meeting our deepest needs. We were blessed with this internal monitor once we gave our hearts to Christ and welcomed His Spirit to fill us. Jesus is our advocate!

Scriptures to Review:

John 14:26 “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”

Romans 8:9-17 “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.”

Romans 8:26-27 “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”

1 Corinthians 2:9-11 “Things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him. For God has unveiled them and revealed them to us through the [Holy] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things [diligently], even [sounding and measuring] the [profound] depths of God [the divine counsels and things far beyond human understanding]. For what person knows the thoughts and motives of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So also no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.”

Jesus is Our Advocate by His Spirit Within Us

We are God’s very own children and heirs with Christ. What a comfort to know His Spirit helps us in any weakness! His Spirit also makes intercession for us. He is able to search our hearts and our minds drawing us to the perfect will of Yahweh, our Creator!

Prayer

Father, help us to remember we are Spirit beings living in a body. Thank you for Your Spirit living within us bearing witness that we are truly children of Yours and joint heirs with Christ. As we examine ourselves, let us rely on Your Spirit and not on our flesh to create in us clean hearts acceptable to You. May we remember Jesus is our advocate in all things.

Confession: Holy Spirit bears witness with my spirit that I am a child of God. I am an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ. Holy Spirit makes intercession on my behalf according to the will of God! Jesus is our advocate!

Purify My Heart Is A Cry The Lord Will Answer

Filed under: G2G Devotional — Tags: purify my heart — admin @ 9:32 pm

Purify My Heart

Yeshua is our refining fire. We call out to Him, “Purify My Heart” and He answers!He has completely sanctified us through His sacrificial blood.

Scriptures to Help

2 Timothy 2:2:19-21 “Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are his. And, let everyone that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.”

Zechariah 13:9 “And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will listen and answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,’ And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.”

Psalm 68:19 “Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah

Purify My Heart Testimony

When I first heard the song below, it did something deep within my heart. For some reason I couldn’t let go of these words. I had always loved the scripture, Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.”

This always seemed unattainable to me. However, His Word tells us it is surely possible. I sang this song on my honeymoon overlooking a ridge by the ocean in Hawaii where new construction was beginning. Because of God’s goodness, He brought me back to the same location when we revisited Hawaii for our 25th wedding anniversary as we stayed in the completed hotel! What an overwhelming blessing! God sees each of us and daily desires to load us with benefits like this!

Let us spend some time singing or reading this song today as we prepare for 5780 to be everything He created it to be. He wants us to receive every blessing. In fact, He wants His blessings to overtake us!

Refiner’s Fire

Purify my heart, Let me be as gold and precious silver
Purify my heart Let me be as gold, pure gold
Refiner’s fire, My heart’s one desire
Is to be holy, Set apart for You, Lord
I choose to be holy, Set apart for You, my Master
Ready to do Your will, Purify my heart
Cleanse me from within, And make me holy
Purify my heart, Cleanse me from my sin, Deep within

Embrace The Truth of Reigning In Life Through Christ

Filed under: G2G Devotional — Tags: Reigning In Life, reigning in life through Christ, reigning in life through Jesus — admin @ 9:37 pm

Reigning In Life Through Christ

The ten days after the Feast of Trumpets are called the “Days of Awe” and this is a great time to learn about reigning in life through Christ Jesus. I believe one of the coolest things about God is His mercy. He is always giving us a new beginning. Lamentations 3:22-23 “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassion fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”

Take these 10 days to draw closer to God. Not only do we get a new beginning, but we also get 10 days to prepare to enter into the fullness of this new beginning. Let’s begin by remembering who we are.

In the book of Esther we read about her preparation to wear her crown. This period was called “days of purification”. In God’s calendar He provides a time to purify ourselves as we enter into the promised blessings of this fresh New Year. Prepare to receive, straighten, or enhance your very own crown! By Faith in Him, we get to wear a crown, which makes us royalty so we start reigning in life as Christians! Can we truly access this and act accordingly? We must let it sink in, God has given us a crown.

Basically this means that we cannot settle for a small measure of faith because we will not be able to walk out the truth of this portion of our identity. It takes more than “little faith” to take dominion over our circumstances and to do the works of God’s hands. The Lord has big shoes for us to step into.

We, the Church, are supposed to be pushing back all of the darkness that we encounter. Many of us do not get there even though our crown signifies our ruling and authority. We must rule as Kings and Queens over all the power of the enemy.

Let us ask this question: What would make us good Kings/Rulers? Those who sit back passively seeking their own pleasure? Or those who take action, attempting to right the wrongs that are present? Are we willing to step into His Kingly calling? I know we are equipped and able!

Reigning in Life Scriptures

Romans 5:17 “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.”

Hebrews 2:6-7 “But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him or the son of man that thou visit him? Thou made him a little lower than the angels; thou crowned him with glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:”

Prayer: Thank you for Your mercy. Father, as I purify and prepare for more of You and Your fullness; help me to grow in wisdom about the crown I am supposed to be wearing as Your child and the authority I have through Yeshua’s sacrifice and victory. May my faith rise! Help me to step into my Kingly calling!

Confession: I am reigning in life through Christ. He has crowned me with glory!

God’s New Year And The Christian Journey

Filed under: G2G Devotional — Tags: God's New Year, Rosh Hashanah — admin @ 9:26 pm

God’s New Year

Did you know that God has His very own calendar and there is a specific date for God’s New Year? And sorry folks, it is not January 1st. This festival celebration marks the beginning of the Hebrew Civil New Year, the 1st day of the month Tishri. Celebrating God’s New Year, Rosh Hashanah, is so fundamentally different then celebrating the typical New Year we have been used to. Even though I believe God loves to give us new beginnings and uses the Roman calendar for us as well, I have found entering into a new year created by our Creator is monumental. Aligning with His calendar is simply the best thing we can do!

Leviticus 23:23-25 ”And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the Israelites, On the first day of the seventh month [almost October], you shall observe a day of solemn [sabbatical] rest, a memorial day announced by blowing of trumpets, a holy [called] assembly. You shall do no servile work on it, but you shall present an offering made by fire to the Lord.”

There are many ways we like to celebrate God’s New Year which is indeed a very special time. We like to blow the shofar to begin this holiday. This is the Lord’s New Year, so making and sending greeting cards is a wonderful way to give blessings out to friends and family. We have fun eating apples and honey cake to remember the goodness of God.

Honey is a reminder of hope for a sweet future! This is one recipe from “My Jewish Cookbook” you can enjoy on this great first day of God’s New Year.

Honey Cake

2 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 eggs

3/4 cup honey 1 cup sugar

1/2 cup oil 1 cup hazelnut coffee (cooled)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease the pan. Cut the wax paper to fit the bottom of the pan and put it in. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon, 35-40 strokes. Set aside. Beat eggs till foamy. Add honey, sugar, coffee, and oil to the eggs while continuing to mix. Add flour mixture. Mix until smooth. Bake in 13 X 9 pan for 35 – 45 minutes, or till a toothpick comes out dry when poked into the center.

Prayer: Father, I give you the first day of Your new year and every day proceeding to do with me as You will. Help me to hear, hearken, and follow You daily. Thank you for aligning me with Your very own calendar. Alert me to any way I need to shift to truly bring You glory.

Confession: As I celebrate God’s New Year, may it be filled with the sweetness and goodness of My Lord! Psalm 17:5 “As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.”
