Overcoming Drug Addiction

Are you enslaved or troubled by habitual use of various narcotic, stimulant, or mind-influencing drugs (including alcohol)? Do you have symptoms of physical, emotional, or mental addiction? You may not have a sickness, but a sin problem that causes enslavement and sickness.

Jesus Christ has done something about your problem. He came to liberate you from such problems and enable you to gain self-control, a fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22,23).

What Scripture Says

Everything is permissible for me — but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible for me — but I will not be mastered by anything” (I Corinthians 6:12).

Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18).

The Spirit of the Lord is on me because He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. Then He rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on Him, and He began by saying to them, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” All the people were amazed and said to each other, “What is this teaching? With authority and power, He gives orders to evil spirits and they come out (Luke 4:18-21, 36).

And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross (Colossians 2:15).

He who does what is sinful is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work (I John 3:8).

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature, rather, serve one another in love (Galatians 5:1, 13).

What Can You Do?

Take seriously the bondage in which you are involved. God cares about you and has a solution.

Your real problem is not an incurable illness, but sin. And Jesus came to deal with sin (I Corinthians 5:11). You need to be spiritually reborn and baptized with the Holy Spirit. You need to change your life patterns. You also may need help for deliverance from drugs and healing.

Be bold. Take a fearless inventory of your life. Ask for help from your family, Christian friends, a local pastor, The 700 Club (call 800-759-0700), or another Christian ministry that cares. Or call Teen Challenge or a local drug hotline.

It is said that it takes thirty-one days to break a habit. Drug addiction is a “life dominating” problem, so radical changes must be made regarding associates, social atmosphere, places frequented, etc. Replacement, not abstention, is the key.

You need to keep busy and occupy your mind with new things (Philippians 4:8,9). Learn to yield yourself to Christ rather than to drugs, old friends, self-pity, guilt, fear, etc.

How to be Spiritually Reborn

God has a plan for your salvation. Call on the Lord to save you mind, body and soul (I John 1:9). Receive Him as your Savior and Lord (John 1:12). Believe Him. He said He would not turn anyone away. He loves you and gave His life for you (John 3:16,17).

How you can know you are forgiven:

The Bible, God's Word says:

You were saved by faith in God, who treats us much better than we deserve. This is God's gift to you, and you have done nothing on your own (Ephesians 2:8).

For those who put their faith in Jesus: He gave them the right to be the children of God… God Himself was the one who made them His children (John 1:12-13).

The Role of the Holy Spirit

Once you become a Christian, you can have God's power available through the Holy Spirit. You will be able to live as God intended (Ezekiel 36:27). The Holy Spirit empowers you to help others (Acts 1:8), He aids and teaches you (John 14:26; I Corinthians 2:13), and guides you into truth (John 16:13) and in life (Acts 10:19; 13:2; 16:6).

You may want to ask someone already baptized with the Holy Spirit to pray with you. Just as you asked the Lord to forgive your sins, believing He would, ask Him now to baptize you with the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:13). He promised to do so, so take Him at His Word that He does what you ask. Thank and praise Him for being a God who does as He promises.

Tell someone else what you've done. Other Christians and the church will rejoice with you and help you. The angels rejoice with you. God rejoices with you.

As You Pray

Thank God for His love, concern, and power to save and deliver. Renounce the drugs, old friends, and hangouts connected with your drug problem. Yield yourself to Jesus. Thank Him for coming into your heart and filling you with the Holy Spirit. Take Him at His word and thank Him for delivering you from drugs.

The Shocking Truths About Porn

Sex is godly; porn is not.

I am not an alien writing to expose the shocking truth about porn; I know what I am talking about. You have suffered from it, and I did, or maybe you are still struggling with it. There is HOPE! What do I mean by sex is godly, and porn is not? Sex is a GOD idea, and he designed it as a means to serve intimacy with couples of covenant, the married people, and for the multiplication of God's love from one generation to another. Porn is the devil's means to pervert all that is holy, pure, and powerful.

For every sound truth doctrine, there is a demonic doctrine to match. Spiritual warfare is about that, creating an opposite doctrine to a godly one. Jesus said about the devil that he is a liar and the father of liars, and he kills humans with a lie. Many things in my life died and got twisted because of demonic lies: my identity, dreams, personality, relationship with the Lord, and every other thing that God meant to be GOOD for me. The devil can't create; he is not a creator, but he can appear as an Angel of light to deceive, to push you away from the truth. You never know if it is a lie because it sounds LIGHT, kind thought, pleasant experience, freedom of choice, acceptance of the rejected, etc. The devil doesn't only present his thoughts as “life-giving” but he raises prophets of the dark to change the wordings of sin to draw you and hook you for example it is not the killing of infants, it is abortion; it is not homosexuality but gay, and the word in Arabic for homosexuality means twisted but was also changed to same-sex attraction; also sex before marriage is not adultery but making love and on. Why do you think the devil invested strongly in changing the wording of all those words? Because it works. “He appears as an Angel of light.”

I was introduced to porn when I was a teenager. I was pure like a white snowball until my friend from school exposed me to it through the internet. The internet at that time was primitive but it was there and at my house. I remember going through trauma when my friend introduced me to porn websites. I forgave him a long time ago!

Seeing gay activities and lesbians and straight sex was too much for me. It never crossed my mind that there is something like that and that we have the potential to taste those experiences. I felt the shattering of my innocence! I was not transitioned into the subject of sex in my life but was introduced to it instantly and in the most unclean ways. The enemy knows about the power of trauma and how it creates a landing strip for slavery, addictions, and the demonic. I went into denial at first for some time, and after a while, I was drawn to start navigating porn websites on my own at night when everyone in my family slept.

You can't feed a beast without unleashing it to go for a hunt. As I kept feeding myself uncleanness ritually and regularly, I felt the craving and the groaning to be in the experiences I was watching. I wanted all my senses to endure that. So I moved from porn (the doctrine feeding) to boldness (the practice). Real-life fornication was never as ideal and good as the websites. So you become hooked on two realities, and you become addicted to online porn and your ongoing real-life attempts to match the professional porn stars, and you never make it. So you spiral down into disappointments and addictions to the deceiving lying web of porn.

I am not going to teach the spiritual aspects of what happens when you enter into dark unclean covenants with others. You can study the Bible and learn more about that. Nor will I mention why porn hooks us at the psychological level; you can research that too.

Porn and dishonoring your body and the one who made it is all about the spirit of rebellion.

Everything that is not a God covenant is rebellion because God is a God of Covenant. Breaking laws at your job has nothing to do with your detest of your job because they don't honor you or pay you enough, etc it is about the spirit of rebellion finding reasoning and an argument to make sense of it and birth itself. Everything man does is a hidden rebellion at its core. Sex “making love” outside of the marriage covenant is rebellion. You see, it is not just about the devil but also about your untamed rebellious nature. They both work together. Even if there is NO DEVIL feeding it and awakening it with deception, your rebellion will find a way one day to awaken itself.

“For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts.” Romans 1:21-26

“And worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised.” Rebellion is all about self-worship, and the only way to be free from yourself is to fall in love with Jesus and worship him.

The more you grow in his love and worship, all the unclean byproducts of the spirit of rebellion lose their grip on you and fade away. Don't focus on your deliverance; put all your energy and frustration into loving Jesus and worshiping him. This is how you subdue rebellion and shatter self-worship!

Thank you, Jesus, because you found a way out of my porn addiction and adultery by drawing me to a life journey of ongoing ecstatic worship of your glorious love for me. Amen!

For those who are still going through it, I humbly advise you: FIX YOUR WORSHIP, NOT YOUR DESIRES.

God bless you

Prophetic Word For the Month of Kislev 5784 December 2023

The month of Kislev 5784 is HERE!

I pray this prophetic word anoints you with understanding and aligns you with God's will, purposes, and blessings for this month. This is what the Holy Spirit is wanting us to know about the month of Kislev 5784:

Many of you have come from a long tough season of wilderness. You have sown in tears but joy comes in the morning.

I see the Lord standing at the door with a heart in his hands. I see that this is the heart of courage and boldness and Jesus wants to impart it to you. Because after the wilderness, the Kingdom is at hand. We know from the bible how Jesus/Yeshua came out of the wilderness in the power of the Holy Spirit and started establishing his Kingdom all around.

People have seen you at your lowest, many surrounded you and prayed with you and for you. They saw you in the pit, they felt your faithfulness and NOW says the Spirit of God they will see you high and lifted up, promoted and filled with a glorious joy and unspeakable! They will see through you the God of seasons who shifts us and WHO DOESN'T FORGET US IN THE DARK. Joseph was left and forgotten in his dark prison and no ONE remembered him but GOD at the right timing. It is your right timing!

Will you receive courage and boldness today, in this month because God says you will be his powerhouse for this hour and you shall advance his Kingdom with manifestations and love and do exploits for him?

You were kept for such a moment, there is no turning back, no turning back!

Amen

God bless you

Decades of Peace

Once you carve a realm, it is yours forever! I think this is fair enough as a reward for your sufferings, pains, struggles, battles, fights, and victories. In the systems of this life, once a student passes a year successfully, he is promoted to higher levels of testing until the completion of the whole realm of education. Once a year is finalized successfully you have the authority and right not to retake it but to advance instead. You don't need to go through that year again, thus you redeem your time because you conquered that level and now new realms are opening up to you. This applies to every educational year when marked successful. Then comes the last year at school and after that, you have carved and conquered the whole educational realm to move to specialization and then career life.

I have gone through it all, I have no more fear of going back to school again or university. It is not even on my radar anymore plus I am now a seasoned businessman and I advanced way far from my education and learning. I will never go back to school this I know!

The same thing applies spiritually when you carve certain realms successfully with the Lord. The enemies you saw you will see no more, the challenges you went through you will go through no more, and the pain you felt is now replaced with joy, fulfillment, and ownership! Jesus Christ is the author and finisher of your faith, he is the Alpha and Omega, and he starts and finishes cycles and seasons in our lives and takes us from glory to glory. How do I know that the pain and the season you are going through will come to an end? It is because I know Jesus is the finisher!

Why am I telling you this? Because I went through a long season of health issues and chronic inflammation and pains with lots of medical care and in those moments, almost 5 years, I felt I was stuck forever, that did not seem to be breaking. I understand how hopeless we can get when it is intense and LONG (emphasis on LONG). Yet not only did the Lord spare me and come through to me and end my suffering but also he promised me divine health all the days of my life. You are talking to someone who will know sickness no more, I will age but never get old. I paid the price, I stood by faith for a long time for my health and thus I will have decades of peace and youth in my health. I carved the realm of health and energy with the Lord and it was a very tough battle yet it is worth the cost. Let me clarify one thing for you please, you don't need to battle in your health to carve a realm of healing because Jesus Christ made you the HEALED OF THE LORD by his stripes and this is your portion in him. Yet what I am trying to tell you is that the enemy fights us in our prophetic promises and blessings.

That health storm came against me because the Lord marked me for youth, divine health, and high energy because I am called for ministry and for special things in the Lord, like coming and going and flying to places, etc. The storm you are in now can tell you what blessing is waiting for you. Satan fights you with the opposite spirit always. Another battle was on my identity all my life, why? Because God called me to father nations and on. I hope those little examples from my life are helping my point to be clarified.

In the battle, you are going through now, not only God will give you the victory but also the REALM of it. You will also have the authority to be able to minister to others in this very thing. Your ceiling will be the threshold for others by way of impartation. Don't you love it that the Lord kept us in the bible stories of messed up fathers to learn from them and avoid their mistakes? Not only that but in Christ, we are connected to the redemptive blessings side of those forefathers. We receive their inheritances and grace over our lives multiplied. Oh, I pray you will understand what I am communicating with you here!

We read in the bible on and on how peace was established between two parties or nations after their war and they lived in peace for decades. You can expect a long satisfying peace after this or that struggle, battle, or war.

For me, I will live in decades of peace in my health, and identity. Halleluiah! What about you?

God bless you
Tony Francis

Prophetic Word For Year 5784/2024: Kingdom Era & Gates of Glory

Three years ago we stepped into a whole new decade on God’s calendar when we entered the biblical year 5780. 80 According to messianic Jews and some Christian gentiles who study the times and seasons say it refers to the word PEY which means THE MOUTH. We all know and experienced the huge worldwide attacks on our mouths and breaths when COVID-19 hit in 2020/5780.

I tell you the truth, the devil's war is always against the Church of Jesus Christ on the earth and he is not very much concerned about others who are not in Christ and have no authority over him. The Church of Yeshua threatens the devil so badly and he has no problem shutting down the whole earth if he can just to try to annihilate the Church in every season of power and glory. Let's remember that wicked laws for a whole nation were erected just to resist one person in the Old Testament and that was the prophet Daniel. What about Elisha the prophet when a whole ferocious well-equipped army strategized against him to come his way, arrest him, and kill him because he kept exposing their secrets and war tactics to the King of Israel? Don't be surprised my brothers and sisters when I tell you that, let's know our bible really well and our defeated foe we are resisting in the name of the Lord.

PEY, the mouth should mean a lot to the enemy that we saw him paralyzing all nations for the sake of it. Why? Why all that attack over the mouth, the words of authority, the breath of God in the Church, the sons and daughters of glory? Not only do we see the enemy trying to shut our mouths literally with masks but also we see the rise of oppression and persecution over the Christian voices in media especially and all kinds of other platforms. We also see the overwhelming release of demonic voices in the form of agendas, activities, and movies on big famous media altars. What's going on? It is surely a war, a huge war against the VOICE in the earth. Who will own the voice of dominion? The Light or darkness?

In 2023, the Lord gave me a huge weighty prophetic word that was confirmed by highly esteemed prophetic and apostolic voices in the body of Christ. As soon as I released that prophetic word, the next day and in hours, I saw the confirmations and I was amazed at how God confirms his word when he wants to establish it.

I am not going to paste the prophetic word of 2023/5783 here, I will refer it to you if you want to read it again because it is powerful and it is not the end of it BECAUSE we build on those words, from glory to glory. You can click here to read it!

I can tell you one thing only about that word: God works in cycles and I have discovered that things shift when it is 3 (3 months, 3 years, etc.). In 2023, Three years after 2020, the Lord gave this word to us:

“As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them, until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.” Daniel 7:21-22 (Read full word here)

The word of the Lord for 2023 was that God is moving us from the Church age to the Kingdom age where his people will be like Joseph in high secular places. Also, it was the year when the Ancient of Days started rising and pronouncing judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the Kingdom.

September 15th, 2023 we step into a whole new biblical year in the Lord 5784. We are still in the decade of the 80s (PEY, MOUTH, BREATH, VOICE) and we still have 6 years to wrap the PEY decade. But I believe that something shifted in 2023/5783 after 3 years cycle of heavy warfare the earth didn't see before on that scale and I believe from now on we will see Daniel 7:21-22 coming to pass more and more in Jesus' name. It is the day for the new wine!

What is the Holy Spirit saying about the biblical year 5784/2024? 

First of all, I want you to know what I am going to share with you here comes from the Holy Spirit who led me to research some things closely and heard from him directly without further knowledge of Hebrew mysteries. Following the Holy Spirit is marvelous and amazing to me and you will know why as you continue reading!

Remember we are building on the prophetic word of 2023/5783, so let's keep the context strong and together. Many prophets said that Psalm 23 was for the year 2023/5783 and I also got my own personal witness and conviction from the Lord about it. Actually, I wrote a whole book (that I was not planning but God has it in mind) and it is based on Psalm 23 “My Cup Overflows” – A devotional, prayers, and decrees for your increase! When we stepped in January 2023, the Holy Spirit mandated me to write it, and I did it by his grace and released it in a week, yep It was supernaturally made, praise God! It is God's heart for his people to be prepared for increase and the inspired chapters given to me by the Holy Spirit deal with specific areas of life to help us experience the GOD increase in them. (You can learn more about it here)

Now, after mentioning all this I can share with you what I believe the Holy Spirit is revealing to us about 5784/2024 because God is all about anointing us to know times and seasons to align with him, be aware and watchful, and advance his purposes in his light!

Holy Spirit told me to research the Hebrew pictogram of the number 4 in 5784, and that is the letter dalet which means “DOOR, ENTRANCE”. When I got to know the meaning of it, I felt the Holy Spirit reminding me of PSALM 24, which I was just reading last night. Isn't it awesome how God orchestrates things and prepares them for us ahead of time? Halleluiah.

Let's read Psalm 24:

“The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters. Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.” NKJV

Yes, you saw correctly the word gate/door mentioned many times in Psalm 24. How did the gate lift up and open for the King of Glory to come in? Through the VOICE command. The PEY, the mouth, and voice declarations, the decade of 80. Hey, It gets better! The Holy Spirit then told me to sum the total of 5784 (5+7+8+4) and to my amazement, it is the number 24. God first told me about Psalm 24 in my heart after knowing that 4 means a DOOR/ENTRANCE and then he told me to sum 5784 which is 24. I don't know about you but Holy Spirit to me is addictive!

While I was doing some research I read this: “Messianic scholars believe that these symbolic meanings of the number 4 are relevant to the messianic age. They believe that the number 4 will play a role in the events that lead up to the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of his kingdom.” Also, dalet is linked to a meaningful name of God which is “The True Judge”. Do you remember the word for 2023? The Ancient of Days judging for the saints and overturning laws and empowering them to move from Church to Kingdom in the world and the marketplace? We will see this happening in 5784, in the 4 corners of the earth, a worldwide revival in Jesus' name.

I believe God will place his people in high places using their COMMANDING VOICE (Psalm 24) to open the gates for the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ to be established on the earth. Like every other prophetic promise we receive, we need to battle for it! “There is a wide-open door for a great work here, although many oppose me.” 1 Corinthians 16:9

If this is not an exciting day for the Church to be alive, I don't know what else is exciting!

Lord make us part of your GREAT move in Jesus' mighty name. Amen!

Get ready folks and share the good news.

Happy New Year and blessed Rosh Hashanah to you!

It’s Impossible For Me To Get Sick

In Christ Jesus, you are loaded with benefits! Sometimes we can't fathom how much God loves us in his only begotten Son Jesus, who sent him to sacrifice and die for our sins, redeem us, and make us sons and daughters of glory. “In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.” Hebrews 2:10

Jesus didn't die only for you but SUFFERED to make you a son and daughter of glory, a brand new creation! A creation that didn't exist before was made available to us in Christ as we receive him in our hearts by faith. When you get a new car that you like so much and costs you, sometimes everything, you rush excitedly to discover all its features and benefit from what is made available to you in this technology. You read the manual, ask the company of origin, Google it, etc… You just want to know everything about your new car and brag in the presence of your friends when they show up for a ride.

Your new creation in Christ, your spirit man, is a new technology loaded with benefits. When the enemy can't keep you from receiving salvation, the very next assignment after you become born again is to block revelation knowledge against the GOD KIND OF LIFE that's in you now that became your identity. But if you are hungry and diligent to pray and study the word sincerely, ask the company of origin, Google the Holy Spirit, etc. you will journey into discovering the unique powerful new creation that you are now in the Lord! Halleluiah.

The benefits are a lot but the Holy Spirit wants to cover just one powerful benefit to you here that's wonderful that I consider a fresh revelation to me. Sometimes we can't take it all in and Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will keep revealing the truth about God and our inheritance. It is a life of progressing in the light of revelation season after another. When I came to the Lord years and years ago, I started renewing my mind with the word of God and getting to know his nature that sickness is not from God and that Jesus is our healer and when we get sick he is our source and all those wonderful revelations. Many are still struggling with the basics of that but God is your helper and will shift you to truth, don't give up! I am not in that place anymore where I question if it is God's will to heal or not, even when we have questions that don't seem to have an answer. I am anchored in the word of God, I decided that his word doesn't change no matter what, and I won't lower the word of God to catch up with my experience or people's experiences, I let my experience catch up with the word of God.

How many individuals and denominations came up with a wrong theology that God doesn't heal anymore just because they tried believing for it and didn't manifest? If you want to live in a constant place and position of victory, never change the word of God and his nature just because you are disappointed or don't understand it. We know God's perfect will in Jesus Christ and Jesus healed everyone who came to him, period. It is God's will to heal, and God uses anything to usher his manifestations of healing in for you, his word, angels, doctors, diet, etc. But at the end of the day, it is his will to see you healed. He is your source in all cases!

I am anchored and so convinced in what I am sharing with you here, nothing can change my mind about that, no man or devil on earth! I even went through a long season of sickness and never questioned his will to heal and I am standing in healing today. So all this is not strange to me, what is incredible and what is freshly NEW to me is God's will for me not to get sick from the beginning! Nobody told me that before until recently.

We are taught that you have a healer when you get sick, but nobody unpacked the scriptures to us in a proper way that in Christ you are dead to sin and dead to sickness. I am seeing those scriptures now in a fresh new way where the apostle Paul and others command us to CONSIDER ourselves dead to sin and to sickness. They don't tell you to receive healing, they tell you to consider yourself dead to sin and sickness with Christ and ALIVE unto God. When you connect to that reality by faith, you start experiencing the substance of it just as when you believed and received your salvation. The new creation package and its loaded benefits are activated by REVELATION & CONSIDERING.

Now that I see clearly that in Christ I am redeemed and free from the curse of sin which is death in all expressions including sickness, I've decided to consider myself dead to sin and to sickness. In other words, what the Holy Spirit is trying to convey to you is that it is not just his will for you to get healed when you get sick, he wants you to live as “The Healed of the Lord” without knowing sickness anymore, starting of this day and THAT happens by just considering you are dead to sin and to sickness and alive to RIGHTEOUSNESS & HEALING.

I recently watched a precious preacher named Andrew Wommack who was teaching about healing in an amazing way and unpacking scripture for us. He said this statement that he had been saying for himself for 50 years and he got sick only twice just because of stupidity for not sleeping for many days because he was ministering, the statement was this: “I don't believe in sickness and I won't get sick and you can't make me throw up”. He lived and is living by this for years and is seeing the power of it and that was crazy awesome to me. It was so stretching to me but I witnessed the truth deep in my core.

I am dead to sin and to sickness therefore I won't get sick! Cheers. Would you challenge yourself today by the Holy Spirit and start embracing this tremendous truth and inheritance you have in Christ Jesus?

God bless you

The Blessings from God

The true blessings come from God Almighty through our Lord Jesus Christ. The devil does not bless, he is just a kidnapper who gives you something into your hands today, but tomorrow he comes back to claim your hand! The devil’s blessings are counterfeit; they are different from those springing forth from God in His dwelling place. It is the blessing of the Lord that enriches and is peaceable, adding no sorrow (Proverbs 10:22).

The Word of God does not compel us to take another path to get rich, to become famous, and to amass money by consulting a marabout, a witch doctor, or an occultist. We are supposed to be satisfied with everything God gives us because the devil is a scammer and kidnapper of human lives‼ The devil is there to kill, steal, and destroy. The devil's mission is to destroy every good gift which comes from God. He wants to add a little leaven so that the taste of the food or seed from heaven is corrupted for the glory of the devil. There is joy in the camp of the devil when Christians compete with the world for the things of the world.

Lessons from Dr. Phil on the Perils of People Pleasing: From a Recovering People Pleaser

Friendship is a beautiful aspect of life that brings joy, support, and companionship. However, when the desire to please others takes precedence over our own needs and values, it can lead to an imbalance in our relationships. People-pleasing, while often well-intentioned, can hinder the development of authentic friendships, further damaging our fragile self-worth.

I was recently reminded of my journey of learning how to avoid the pitfalls of people-pleasing and foster genuine connections by starting with learning to love myself. A dear friend recalled one of our first phone conversations when we discussed people-pleasing. She mentioned an episode of Dr. Phil from years ago, stating that what she learned on that show was “life-changing.” I chuckled to myself, contemplating whether I should tell her that I was actually on that episode. When I finally revealed the truth, her reaction was more exuberant than I had expected. What struck me was that the words she spoke were the same words I used to convince my husband to go on the show with me, despite his initial reluctance. I had said, “What if doing this show could change just one person's life?” The statement seemed dramatic even to me, but my friend echoed those very words. It made me wonder if I had heard her correctly.

Reflecting on that time, my friend helped me understand why someone might find the advice from Dr. Phil on that show “life-changing.” For me, his advice was indeed profound, and I carried the lessons I learned with me, building upon them over the years.

These are the life-altering lessons, simple yet not easy. The first lesson is about the dangers of people-pleasing. Rooted in the fear of rejection or conflict, people-pleasing involves constantly seeking approval and prioritizing others' needs over our own. While it may seem like a selfless act, it can have detrimental effects on our well-being, friendships, and self-worth.

Dr. Phil also emphasized the loss of authenticity that comes with people-pleasing. When we constantly strive to please others, we suppress our true selves, leading to a lack of authenticity in our friendships. Genuine connections are built on mutual understanding, acceptance, and respect for each other's individuality. By sacrificing our own needs and desires, we risk losing our unique identity and becoming mere reflections of others' expectations. I had to be honest and admit that this was true of me.

Another lesson I gleaned from Dr. Phil was the imbalance in relationships that people-pleasing often creates. In friendships, one person may consistently give while the other takes. This dynamic can lead to resentment, as the people-pleaser may feel unappreciated or taken advantage of. Genuine friendships thrive on reciprocity, where both parties contribute equally and support each other's growth.

Emotional exhaustion was a realization that came to me when contemplating everything I had learned after the show aired. Constantly striving to meet others' expectations can be emotionally draining. People-pleasers often find themselves overwhelmed, struggling to maintain a facade of perfection and meet everyone's demands. This exhaustion hinders the ability to form deep, meaningful connections, leaving little energy for self-care and genuine emotional investment. Moments that should be shared as memorable experiences become blurred, vague memories of overexertion and regret.

Fostering authentic friendships became my mission. I realized that self-awareness and the ability to recognize my own needs, values, and boundaries were essential for my survival. It wasn't an easy task, and it didn't happen overnight. Understanding that it is okay to prioritize our well-being and say no when necessary was uncomfortable at first. However, over time, I discovered that by being true to ourselves, we attract friends who appreciate and respect our authenticity.

Communication emerged as another major lesson from this unique experience. Open and honest communication is vital in any friendship, and it became even more crucial with my best friend, my husband, who often took a back seat to those who demanded much of my attention previously. To be authentic, we must express our thoughts, feelings, and concerns openly, while also actively listening to our friends, spouses, and family. Healthy friendships and relationships are built on mutual understanding and acceptance of each other's perspectives.

Establishing healthy boundaries was and still is one of the most challenging lessons I had to learn. Learning to say no when overwhelmed or when a request compromises our values doesn't come easy for a recovering people-pleaser. However, boundaries are essential because they create a balanced dynamic and foster respect for each other's individuality.

Finally, there is the dynamic of mutual support. Authentic friendships are characterized by mutual support and encouragement. We should celebrate each other's successes, provide a listening ear during challenging times, and offer constructive feedback when needed. By nurturing a supportive environment, we create a space where both parties can grow and thrive.

The most meaningful moment of this experience wasn't even on camera but during a commercial break when Dr. Phil, known for his sometimes harsh approach, leaned over to me and quietly said, “God made you beautiful, articulate, and intelligent, and you need to believe you are worthy of true friendship.” That moment will be etched in my memory forever because it was life-changing for me. He saw a person who didn't see her own value and spoke words of encouragement and affirmation, much more than psychological advice. It was as if a father was speaking to his daughter. From that point on, I wanted to give that gift to others who may not believe they are worthy of love.

From a Christian perspective, people-pleasing can be seen as a stumbling block in our faith journey. A powerful passage in the Bible, Galatians 1:10, asks, “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” As followers of Christ, our ultimate aim should be to please God rather than seeking validation from others. This is where we find our true self-worth. Jesus teaches us to love one another as ourselves (Mark 12:31) and to prioritize our relationship with Him above all else (Matthew 6:33). By aligning our actions and intentions with God's will, we can cultivate friendships rooted in love, authenticity, and mutual respect. As we seek to please God, we can trust that He will guide us in forming genuine connections that honor Him and bring joy and fulfillment to our lives.

While the desire to please others is natural, it is essential to strike a balance between meeting others' needs and prioritizing our own well-being, keeping God as our main priority. Authentic friendships are built on mutual respect, understanding, and acceptance of each other's individuality. By embracing our identity in Christ and who we were created to be, setting healthy boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can cultivate genuine connections that enrich our lives. Remember, as this wise doctor reminded me, true friends appreciate you for who you are, not for what you can do for them.

Dedicated to Gavi. 💞 Thank you for the reminder that started a lasting friendship for which I am eternally grateful!

Prophetic Word for the month of Elul 5783 September 2023

Hey everyone, we just entered the biblical month of Elul 5783 / September 2023. Not only each day God's mercies are renewed to us but every single month and every single year and after a set of years too, like 7 years, 50 years, etc. The Lord in his great compassion waits to show you his great mercy, are you receiving it? Are you aligning with him, and his timing by faith to be under the canopy of his authority and be overtaken by his goodness and glory?

This is not just another prophetic word about what the Holy Spirit is saying to us for this month, it is not a fortune cookie at all. We honor God and fear his word and timing because he loves us greatly and wants us in the blessing zone. LIFE to you in Jesus' name.

I was praying for you about the new month of Elul 5783 / September 2023 and this is what I believe I received from the Holy Spirit and I pray it will bless your socks off in Jesus' mighty name. I believe it is going to be a TURNAROUND month, yeah yeah I know you've been seeing this word a lot and believing for it for a while but it is important to know that you've been breaking through, you've been progressing, EVERY TIME YOU PRAY something happens and you are closer. But in this month because it is also preparing us for a new BIBLICAL hebraic godly year 5784 in the midst of September, God is about to wrap things up for you BIG time because he doesn't want you to drag to a new whole season in him. I've learned that there is something called “THE FINISHING ANOINTING” and you can believe for it this very month and expect it. I sense I will hear a lot from you good testimonies about that.

The word of God tells us that in the time of rain ask for rain and since we are ending a year, you can ask the Lord to bring this big final turnaround as you start a new dawn with him. You are under this blessing in this month, you can press in and believe for it or just let it go. But now that you knew about it, that's why we discern times and seasons, benefit from what is available in the heavenlies and pull the divine TURNAROUND down over your life and those long challenges, relationships, finances, sicknesses, ministries, etc.

The month of Elul is your month of TURNAROUND! Do you believe it? Amen.

If you feel sowing into this, you can do it here:

God bless you
