^^|^^ Warriors of Light ^^|^^

The Bible was just another book gathering dust on the shelf which for some unknown reason I 'fought' the urge to discard. Bound by grief, fear, and anger in my darkest hours It glowed like a beacon in dark stormy nights. Neither understanding nor comfort was found when desperate pride skimmed through the first few pages; when humbled to "Lord I can't do it!" faith tearfully searched the Word as by His mercy and grace, the Teacher was heard and brought the proper discernment, wisdom, and healing from the inside-out. Restful sleep gave sublime dreams of the Promise; warriors standing victorious on the Mount. Those standing before turning only to lift another up! What a glorious Day!

Be strong and stand by your measure of faith in God’s mighty power against the devil’s schemes, beloved. Today, as in the beginning, the battle is against forces of evil in heavenly realms…on earth as It is in heaven. Each dawn is a gift; an ongoing, yet new battle righteousness wins and stands by the gospel of peace. Another Sonrise glistens the dew that feeds all creation to stand and light the Way. The battle you are girded to fight and empowered to win continues. The New command given; eat your daily manna, beloved warrior. Pray for all God’s people. Lift your shield of faith yielding your best weapons: the sword of worship and praise, and press onto victory morning; stopping along the Way turn and bring your brother with you. All will stand presented righteous before the Lord on Mt. Zion, the precipice of glory!

EPHESIANS 6 NIV The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Psalm 146 NIV
1 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord, my soul.
2 I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
3 Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save.
4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.
5 Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God.
6 He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them— he remains faithful forever.
7 He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets prisoners free,
8 the Lord gives sight to the blind, the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down, the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the foreigner and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
10 The Lord reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations.
Praise the Lord

Never Too Far From Thee

Many times in our lives, Lord, we have felt like the lost,
Wandering child, looking for shelter from the storms of life.
Like an unspoken prayer, light radiates
Through the dark mist of the dawn.
The Son rises.
Whispering, gentle, breezes carry His warm calming Spirit
Drawn deeply into our soul
With each breath taken in faith.
Once again, all is made right by the mighty Hand of God that held us all along.
The promise of today is fulfilled by His grace
As love carries us safely through the night
To wake healed, refreshed, and girded given our measure of faith,
To follow victorious into the gift of the New Day.
Cynthia V Hance

Psalms 46:1 God is our protection and source of strength. He is always ready to help us in times of trouble.

1 John 5: 4 because everyone who is a child of God has the power to win against the world. 5 It is our faith that has won the victory against the world. So who wins against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

^^|^^ Put on the Whole Armour of God ^^|^^

Some Christians keep only the Old doctrine; ignoring the New as if God is no longer speaking. As He directed and spoke to this disciples during his Ministry on earth, He speaks to us today. God’s ministry is eternal and His Spirit still leads. He continues to do great works in us by faith: heal the sick, cast out demons, interceding for us as we ask in His powerful name believing, and trusting in Him in all things through prayer and supplication.

We are His modern- day disciples who walk and led by the Spirit alive in us, today. We are to choose to follow Him and ‘heed’ His call in our lives, here, today as his initial twelve were called to do. God works on each individual saint and ‘speaks’ to his own individual needs. Where God leads to our understanding is narrow; but is weaved intricately with many vines in the tapestry to Life.

Our God given gifts are for His purpose and in His perfect timing unite to create the eternal tapestry of Life everlasting.

Keep focused on the Way lit before you. There is no denying that God called many. Moses, Paul, Reverend Martin Luther King, and Mother Teresa followed the prompting of the Holy Spirit within. God didn’t pick them for their beliefs or religion; they succeeded and were victorious because they ‘chose’ to be used mightily by God.

Our paramount desire in this world should be to follow God, regardless of what everyone else thinks or the consequences. Plant His perfect seed, sow, and watch, leading our brothers to reap the plentiful Harvest. When God returns, the time to ‘choose’ is over.

God’s Word is ‘alive’ and speaks to all his chosen vessels, intercedes and works as He did in the beginning on through to the time He returns for His church. He came as a lamb; but will return as a Lion.

The plow is ready and the perfect Seed is plentiful. Miles of rich, fertile ground need tending; but the laborers are few. Sow His perfect seed and prepare for the great Harvest. His return draws near. Are you watching? God wants YOU to reign with Him through eternity in the celestial mansion prepared especially for YOU. Bring your brother with you!

^^|^^ Fill your mind with God's Word ^^|^^

There will come a time in your walk
when even your thoughts are corrected
and hear His love for you...You are made
aware God is eternally with you leading in righteousness and grace;
providing whatever is necessary
and safe kept well within
the frequency of the Lord

The Spirit prompts you to do right, rebuking misunderstanding, when negativity creeps into your thoughts that change your mood which is "emotion" and not of the Spirit..

It is true..."Where the mind goes, man follows." J. Meyer.

It is all about choices we make as we go into the day. Choose to do and think on what love prompts...within;
where peace and joy uses His grace to hear only wisdom overcoming each circumstance the world may bring.

There is a beginning, a place where we wait, and the overcoming…all victories to come;
the awesome mercy and grace of the Lord Whose finished work waits for faith to 'receive' It.

Until His thoughts merge as your own,
rest,beloved;
think and say whose the Lord says you are:
loved, sanctified, powerful, and worthy;
not by anything you have done; rather,
by the mercy, grace, and faith in the
finished work of the Risen Christ.

On earth, beloved, as it is in heaven,
you are made right by faith. You are presented in His court blameless, radiant, and …beautiful in His sight!
Cynthia V Hance

Philippians 4 (ERV)
"8 Brothers and sisters, continue to think about what is good and worthy of praise. Think about what is true and honorable and right and pure and beautiful and respected.
9 And do what you learned and received from me—what I told you and what you saw me do. And the God who gives peace will be with you."
Romans 2 (ERV)
21 But God has a way to make people right, and it has nothing to do with the law. He has now shown us that new way, which the law and the prophets told us about.
22 God makes people right through their faith in[a] Jesus Christ. He does this for all who believe in Christ. Everyone is the same.
23 All have sinned and are not good enough to share God’s divine greatness.
24 They are made right with God by his grace. This is a free gift. They are made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ.
25-26 God gave Jesus as a way to forgive people’s sins through their faith in him. God can forgive them because the blood sacrifice of Jesus pays for their sins. God gave Jesus to show that he always does what is right and fair. He was right in the past when he was patient and did not punish people for their sins. And in our own time he still does what is right. God worked all this out in a way that allows him to judge people fairly and still make right any person who has faith in Jesus."

^^|^^ I put my trust in you alone, O Lord ^^|^^

One by one, the faithful warrior seeks the counsel of the Lord at morning light. Worship and praise lays each burden and wound before Him to heal and renew in preparation for the battle of the new day.

Truth is the weapon loudly spoken as Love leads the Way. Wisdom knows each command given is vital, uncompromising, and sure which obedience and faith has brought His victorious into the new day.

Anointed with all that is required, faith uses the grace given to sow in the Lord’s provision and protection keeping the shield secure before us as we sow in our purposed path without compromise.

The arrows of the most skilful archer in the vast legion of darkness meant to destroy His beloved are diverted each time as they were yesterday, today and tomorrow.

It is impossible to mortally wound His beloved as we walk in the Spirit. When the Lord’s warrior is wounded, fear and unbelief has caused us to pause as we walk in the natural; evil’s primary objective.

The faithful warrior defies the natural from victory-to-victory to reign at the right Hand of God. It is difficult to hit a moving target in the physical; as we walk in the Spirit, mountains move and arrows fall where the physical law of gravity expires. In that ominous, lifeless place in the world where spent arrows fall, evil finds another arrow to pierce the wandering wise, cold, hardened heart.

Proverbs 3 Living Bible (TLB)
3 1-2 My son, never forget the things I’ve taught you. If you want a long and satisfying life, closely follow my instructions. 3 Never tire of loyalty and kindness. Hold these virtues tightly. Write them deep within your heart. 4-5 If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don’t ever trust yourself. 6 In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.
7-8 Don’t be conceited, sure of your own wisdom. Instead, trust and reverence the Lord, and turn your back on evil; when you do that, then you will be given renewed health and vitality.
9-10 Honor the Lord by giving him the first part of all your income, and he will fill your barns with wheat and barley and overflow your wine vats with the finest wines.
11-12 Young man, do not resent it when God chastens and corrects you, for his punishment is proof of his love. Just as a father punishes a son he delights in to make him better, so the Lord corrects you.
13-15 The man who knows right from wrong and has good judgment and common sense is happier than the man who is immensely rich! For such wisdom is far more valuable than precious jewels. Nothing else compares with it. 16-17 Wisdom gives: a long, good life, riches, honor, pleasure, peace. 18 Wisdom is a tree of life to those who eat her fruit; happy is the man who keeps on eating it.
19 The Lord’s wisdom founded the earth; his understanding established all the universe and space. 20 The deep fountains of the earth were broken open by his knowledge, and the skies poured down rain.
21 Have two goals: wisdom—that is, knowing and doing right—and common sense. Don’t let them slip away, 22 for they fill you with living energy and bring you honor and respect.[b] 23 They keep you safe from defeat and disaster and from stumbling off the trail. 24-26 With them on guard you can sleep without fear; you need not be afraid of disaster or the plots of wicked men, for the Lord is with you; he protects you.
27-28 Don’t withhold repayment of your debts. Don’t say “some other time,” if you can pay now. 29 Don’t plot against your neighbor; he is trusting you. 30 Don’t get into needless fights. 31 Don’t envy violent men. Don’t copy their ways. 32 For such men are an abomination to the Lord, but he gives his friendship to the godly.
33 The curse of God is on the wicked, but his blessing is on the upright. 34 The Lord mocks at mockers, but helps the humble. 35 The wise are promoted to honor, but fools are promoted to shame!

God knew the mess you were going to make in this life and His 'tough' love prompted you through it. It is a new day He made for you; use it in obedience. Repent, obey, and clean up after yourself dear one. The Path is clear and His healing water is not that far!

Beloved, be careful of the wiles of the devil whose only purpose is to kill, steal, destroy, and divide! All believers still walk with planks in the eye this side of Heaven and are in varying stages of conversion. Be still. Allow the Spirit given to lead, teach, and bring all discernment.

All are in varying stages of conversion. Infants crawl before they walk and struggle to remain standing. We may desire to help and in our limited understanding we may cause some to stumble. Love looks down, only to lift another up.

Trust Love to remove each plank in us all and bring all discernment as we continue to sow our individual gift trusting as by His mercy and grace, we remain teachable and abide in Love as He brings the understanding.

We are commanded to sow the Good News in Love reflecting the character of Christ Whom simply forgave the repented in His earthly ministry saying, “Go and sin no more.” Let all see Him clearly…in you!

The time draws close. Honor and offer our gift for His glory and faithfully sow our individual gifts, in love as a united Church without spot or strife. All given Him in the beginning are made right by faith; we have the grace to press on, honor God in all things by loving each other as He loves us.
Cynthia V Hance

Heavenly Father, Thank you Lord, for the shed blood of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ whose Agape Love alone judges the faithful, made us worthy, and presents us righteous, by faith. Keep our sights only on You, Lord and, through the Spirit allow the molding remaining teachable allowing the molding and in all things strive, by your mercy and grace, to sow Love for each other, rebuking all evil in thought and deed. All continue as is Your Command to honor You, Lord; Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on Earth as in Heaven, from everlasting to everlasting. .. In Jesus Holy Name we pray.

Proverbs 20 ERV
3 People who refuse to argue deserve respect. Any fool can start an argument.

JUDE 1 ERV God Will Punish Those Who Do Wrong
3 Dear friends, I wanted very much to write to you about the salvation we all share together. But I felt the need to write to you about something else: I want to encourage you to fight hard for the faith that God gave his holy people. God gave this faith once, and it is good for all time. 4 Some people have secretly entered your group. These people have already been judged guilty for what they are doing. Long ago the prophets wrote about them. They are against God. They have used the grace of our God in the wrong way—to do sinful things. They refuse to follow Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord.
5 I want to help you remember some things you already know: Remember that the Lord saved his people by bringing them out of the land of Egypt. But later he destroyed all those who did not believe. 6 And remember the angels who lost their authority to rule. They left their proper home. So the Lord has kept them in darkness, bound with everlasting chains, to be judged on the great day. 7 Also, remember the cities of S***m and Gomorrah and the other towns around them. Like those angels they were full of sexual sin and involved themselves in sexual relations that are wrong. And they suffer the punishment of eternal fire, an example for us to see.
8 It is the same way with these people who have entered your group. They are guided by dreams. They make themselves dirty with sin. They reject God’s authority and say bad things against the glorious ones. 9 Not even the archangel Michael did this. Michael argued with the devil about who would have the body of Moses. But Michael did not dare to condemn even the devil for his false accusations. Instead, Michael said, “The Lord punish you!”
10 But these people criticize things they don’t understand. They do understand some things. But they understand these things not by thinking, but by feeling, the way dumb animals understand things. And these are the things that destroy them. 11 It will be bad for them. They have followed the way that Cain went. To make money, they have given themselves to following the wrong way that Balaam went. They have fought against God like Korah did. And like Korah, they will be destroyed.
12 These people are like dirty spots among you—they bring shame to you in the special meals you share together. They eat with you and have no fear. They take care of only themselves. They are like clouds without rain. The wind blows them around. They are like trees that have no fruit at harvest time and are pulled out of the ground. So they are twice dead. 13 Like the dirty foam on the wild waves in the sea, everyone can see the shameful things they do. They are like stars that wander in the sky. A place in the blackest darkness has been kept for them forever.
14 Enoch, the seventh descendant from Adam, said this about these people: “Look, the Lord is coming with thousands and thousands of his holy angels 15 to judge everyone. He will punish all those who are against him for all the evil they have done in their lack of respect for him. Yes, the Lord will punish all these sinners who don’t honor him. He will punish them for all the evil things they have said against him.”
16 These people always complain and find wrong in others. They always do the evil things they want to do. They boast about themselves. The only reason they say good things about others is to get what they want.

1 PETER 4 ERV
Be Good Managers of God’s Gifts
7 The time is near when all things will end. So keep your minds clear, and control yourselves. This will help you in your prayers. 8 Most important of all, love each other deeply, because love makes you willing to forgive many sins. 9 Open your homes to each other and share your food without complaining. 10 God has shown you his grace in many different ways. So be good servants and use whatever gift he has given you in a way that will best serve each other. 11 If your gift is speaking, your words should be like words from God. If your gift is serving, you should serve with the strength that God gives. Then it is God who will be praised in everything through Jesus Christ. Power and glory belong to him forever and ever. Amen.
