Strengthening God's people by revealing the Father's heart

Prophetic

The Watchmen and the Geese

By

By: Vince Viozzi – Written 09/06/20

I was camping recently with my wife. We were at a State Park with a big lake that had some “resident” geese hanging around. As I was approaching them one evening, suddenly One of them left out a loud vocal warning “Honk” and the next thing I saw was incredible! All of a sudden, the lead goose took off and the others followed suit in their typical “V” formation, and landed in the lake nearby. It was just an awesome sight to see and experience. The leader sounded the alarm and the rest responded so quickly!

 This was interesting to me because the Lord had already been speaking to me about the season we are in and had paralleled the watchmen with the geese.  When the geese fly they assume a “V” formation with one goose at the head of the “V”. However, after a certain amount of time, for whatever reason, the lead goose will move back and another one will take its place at the front. What an awesome display of teamwork in leadership! Right now I feel that God has put the Watchmen at the head of the flock.

The Season of the Watchmen

I am sharing this because I believe the Lord has said, “It’s the season of the watchmen!” At this Kairos time in history there are many important things taking place and it is critical that we hear from The Lord corporately so we can effectively navigate our way through this present crisis. That is why God has given the prophetic gift of the watchmen. In biblical times the watchmen were strategically placed on the walls of a city to keep watch and sound an alarm when they saw danger approaching. These watchmen were so important that God gave Ezekiel a stern warning concerning his gift as a Prophetic Watchman! In Ezekiel 3:16 – 21,

Ezekiel 3:17 (NKJV) 17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore, hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me:”

During this discourse The Lord made it very clear that the watchman had a very important job and responsibility to the rest of His people. If he did not take that responsibility seriously, then God would hold him accountable for the consequences of not sounding the alarm and giving the warning!

Don’t Shoot the Messengers

These are words of wisdom. In the bible many prophets were killed because they were given an unpopular message to deliver. See Matt. 23:31-36

God told Ezekiel that the watchmen are responsible to tell the people what He is saying! Whether or not they want to hear it! The messenger is only relaying the message he or she was given. A warning message is meant to alert us to a danger that is approaching. It does not necessarily secure the outcome of that crisis situation though! One instance in scripture is when the Prophet Jonah was sent to Nineveh. He proclaimed a message of coming judgement, but the people repented and God in His mercy relented concerning the judgement that He told Jonah to proclaim. Jonah was not too happy because it made it seem as if he wasn’t hearing from God in the first place.

The Alarm is being Sounded

We are in a time when watchmen of all sorts are sounding their alarms! We are in the midst of a crisis! It is interesting to me that the word Crisis comes from the Greek word “Krisis” which is typically translated “judgement” in the New Testament. It is defined in the “Online Etymology Dictionary” as “1. an unstable situation of extreme danger or difficulty; 2. a crucial stage or turning point in the course of something; (a point at which change must come, for better or worse.) This is where we are at! Something must change and the alarms are being sounded,

Joel 2:1 (NKJV) 1 “Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain!

Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble…”

The Hope is in the Promises

One may ask, where is the hope in all of this? The hope is in the promises of God!

2 Corinthians 2:14 (NKJV) 14 “Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ,”

Isaiah 43:2-3 (NKJV) 2 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;

And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.

3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;”

Emmanuel means God is with us and for us! He will never leave us nor forsake us no matter what we are going through! These are the promises of God! This is our hope!

I have to point out that this doesn’t mean we’re not going to go through the floods or the fires! As Peter said in 1st Peter 4:12-13 (NKJV) 12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; 13 but rejoice…”

This is the place where many of us get tripped up by the enemy. We expect God to keep us from the trials instead of seeing us through them. It is how we handle those times that matters the most. Put your hope in God! Jesus is in the boat with us through the storms of life!

Wisdom says to Pray AND Prepare

So, what should be our response to these warning messages? First of all, we need to be in fervent prayer and fasting if possible. Serious times require serious responses. Our first response should always be to go to the Father! Let’s head to the secret place, put our heads upon His chest, and listen to His heart. We should also be crying out for His intervention and His mercy.  James 2:13 (NKJV) “…Mercy triumphs over judgment.” However, take the example of Jesus in the garden if we do have to go through it,

Luke 22:41-43 (NKJV) 41 …He knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.”

43 Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.

Secondly, wisdom dictates that we should also prepare ourselves for the storms. If we knew that a hurricane was coming our way wouldn’t we board up our windows, get the food stock that we need and prepare in every way we possibly could before it hit? Why should we see it any differently when a spiritual storm is approaching? Burying our heads in the sand won’t help us when the storm hits.

I believe that God is letting His people know ahead of time about the things that are about to come upon us so we can be properly prepared when those storms hit! I believe that the Lord is revealing to me that at least from sometime soon through the end of the year there will be major attacks of the enemy in the U. S. especially. Even if the Presidential election goes in favor of President Trump, which I feel is going to happen, the opposers have already shown that they are not planning to accept that well. I believe that the reciprocal is also possible. Even though Christians are not given to protests, there are many Patriotic people in this country that are very much willing to stage protests at that point in the game. While this has not been the norm in the past, we are not living in normal times. Something has changed in the atmosphere and it may be some time if not ever that things will go back to how they were. We should expect that the closer we get to Jesus’ return the more aggravated the enemy will get.

Trust and Obey

Both of these responses are needed! To quote the hymn writer John H. Sammis, “Trust and Obey, for there’s no other way, to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.” Size requirements do not allow for me to put this whole hymn in here, but let me suggest that you look it up on the internet. It has some good advice.

Prayer Alert Update

The last email I sent out was a prayer alert concerning Militia’s and possible Civil War. After I sent this out I kept my eyes and ears tuned for these topics and you would be surprised at the number of articles I have saved concerning these items in our current situation. We still need to hold this up in prayer. As the rioting and looting continue, these are becoming very real possibilities. I don’t hope for this to come about nor do I want to spread fear. I’m just feeling that these are very real situations that could happen. The militias are already responding in some of the circumstances; and we need to be interceding for a Divine Intervention. I feel we are being informed so we can pray into it, not so we will fear if it happens.

I join my alarm with many other “Watchmen” and resound that we, as the Ecclesia of God, need to raise our voices to heaven and go into spiritual warfare mode like never before. The USA as we know it and the world need us now!

Grace and peace to you and your family!

Pentecost, Awakening, and a John the Baptist Season

By

By Vince Viozzi – 05/24/20

We have entered into a New Era

We have entered into a New Era. Something has shifted on a global level. The COVID19 Crisis has changed the world, but I also keep getting a sense that it has also changed God’s people. I sense that during this time of quarantine and seclusion, God has used the situation to do something in the hearts of His people that will somehow continue to affect us. Even in our public gatherings.

Vision of the Shaking Continued

At the beginning of the year I had a vision. I saw The Lord’s hand reaching down and pulling up the Continental United States and shaking it. I saw roots hanging and things falling off the roots that I perceived to be individuals who were attacking the Constitutional roots of the USA. I believe that this is being fulfilled by the attack unleashed upon the nations by the releasing of this virus. And an unveiling has been taking place through all of this that is revealing the true agendas of certain world leaders, revealing the bigger picture of their plans to establish a global government. There are those in governmental and civilian leadership positions in the US who also want the same thing. I believe that this is not quite the time for that and so God has intervened to push back their time table so that a great harvest of souls can be gathered in before the end!

The Awakening from the Shaking

There is another Great Awakening that is coming upon the world, and I believe it has already started. As with many things, we tend to attach our own ideas to it, thinking that we’ve got it figured out how God is going to do it. We usually believe that He’s going to do it like He did it before. We all want revival and souls added to the Kingdom, but sometimes we don’t want what it takes in order to bring those souls to a place of readiness to be saved. That is what the shaking does. See Hebrews 12:25-29. When a shaking occurs, it begins to open our eyes up to what really matters. This is what I believe is going on right now to get the ground ready for the harvest.

Awakening in the Church First

In Mark chapter 8 there is the account of a blind man being healed in Bethsaida. Bethsaida in the Greek means “Fishing House”. Harvesting souls is scripturally compared to fishing. We want more fish in God’s house. But what does this scripture reveal that Jesus did to heal the blindness of the man in the “Fishing House?” His healing came in 2 steps which I feel represents what is taking place in this great awakening.

Step number one – Spiritual Sight Restored – An awakening in the church:

Mark 8:23-24 (NKJV) 23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything. 24 And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking

Did Jesus miss the complete healing the first time? I don’t believe that at all. I believe that Jesus first opened the man’s spiritual eyes and he was seeing angels in the spirit realm.

Step number 2 – Physical Sight Restored – Awakening in the world:

Mark 8:25 (NKJV) 25 Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.

God’s Agenda & Course Corrections

I believe that the first part of the awakening is going to be for God’s people, before it goes to the unsaved, and that our spiritual sight is going to be realigned with His agenda for the New Era that we are living in. I believe that what worked in the past isn’t going to continue to work in the present and the future. I also feel that there is going to be a short reprieve of this Covid19 crisis, and we will be tempted to go back to “business as usual”, but I also sense that more events are coming that will continue the attacks on our freedoms. I feel to encourage us to not get deceived by this time of grace by which God is giving us an opportunity to make the necessary “Course Corrections” that will give us the proper foundation for the upcoming outpouring and influx of souls! I feel that the word of the Lord is to “Bite the bullet, humble yourselves, and do what He is saying to get prepared for a very different move of God!”

I feel that there is going to be a Spirit led emphasis on Repentance. And that this emphasis is going to start with God’s people! See 1 Peter 4:17-18.

Am I portraying an unloving God because He wants to lead us to repentance? Absolutely not!

Psalms 135:14 (NKJV) 14 For the Lord will judge His people, And He will have compassion on His servants.

We serve a loving and compassionate God who brings conviction, not condemnation, on His people for their sins because He wants the best for us. He will not continue to let us go down a path that is not the best for us, so, He will place roadblocks in our paths in order to change our direction. I feel that God wants to make some “Course Corrections” for the church and for the world. The bible teaches that a loving parent is one who disciplines his children.

Hebrews 12:5-9 states that “6 For whom the Lord loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives.”

Revelation 3:19 (NKJV) says, “19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.”

A John the Baptist Season

When John the Baptist came on the scene before Jesus, he preached a message of repentance! Matthew 3:1-3 (NKJV) 1 In those days John the Baptist came preaching…, 2 … “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” 3 …“The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord; Make His paths straight.’ ”. Matthew 3:8-11 (NKJV) 8 “Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, …11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I… He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”

When Jesus finally came to John to be baptized, He was filled with the Holy Spirit. The outpouring – Pentecost – that we are praying for is represented in this. See Matthew 3:16-17.

Do you see the sequence of events here are laid out here? The message of repentance came and people were repenting and being baptized. This is the “voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of The Lord!’ Afterwards the Savior of the world shows up and shows us that the Father wants to save us and fill us with His Spirit! A Pentecostal Outpouring is coming! We’ve been praying it in! The former leads the way for the latter!

The Fear of The Lord is Wisdom

Job 28:27-28 (NKJV) 27 Then He saw wisdom and declared it; He prepared it, indeed, He searched it out. 28 And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.’

True repentance also carries with it an understanding of just how mighty and omnipotent our God is – The fear of the Lord! Somehow, we need to be able to bring a balanced message between God’s love and His holiness. Some will not be led to the Lord without it as is emphasized in Jude 1:20-23

Jude 1:20-23 (NKJV) 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction; 23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

Jude doesn’t exclude God’s love and grace here! Neither does he exclude saving some with an element of the fear of God! God help us to learn how to present this balance.

Prophetic Impressions for 2020

By

By Vince Viozzi – 01/03/20

Over Turns and Turn Overs

I believe that Holy Spirit is revealing some things to me about this year and beyond. So with that in mind, I will once again endeavor to allow Him to speak through me these things that keep coming into my spirit concerning this next year and hope and believe that He will use it in whatever way He chooses.

Divine Overturns!

I keep hearing these two words resonating in my spirit; “Turn and Over!”   and they are coming to me just like you would envision the number 2020 – two 20’s forward and reversed – 20-02 – becoming 2020. I’m seeing the second 20 as an 02 that flips over and becomes the number 20. As if the second 20 were on a hinge in the middle and all of a sudden it flips over to become a 20. I hope that makes sense to you.

So to start, I am hearing them combined like this: 2020 will be a year of Divine “Overturns” both personally and globally.

I sense that this is going to happen in the lives of God’s children where the Evil One has resisted the people of God from receiving the answers to their prayers. In areas where many of us have been praying a long time, even for decades, for certain situations to change, and for breakthroughs, I sense that this is going to be a season of Divine intervention! I sense that God is coming with Divine Vengeance and there are going to be great “Overturns” coming in favor of the saints!   I see the Father shouting “Over Ruled” to the Accuser of the Brethren! And also, “No more delays!”

I also sense this especially where the President of the US is concerned. I sense that this impeachment verdict bestowed upon President Trump will be Overturned. All throughout 2019 I was feeling the need to pray for Justice to prevail. I sense that there is a season of Divine Justice coming forth in this next year and beyond that will begin a series of political overturns in answer to the prayers of the saints that have been bombarding the heavens for many years. I know that I am going out on a limb here, but I really believe this is going to happen.

I also need to say that I believe that some of this is contingent upon the prayers and intercessions of the saints in the present. I have a sense that God’s people need to pray and get a sense of His heart for the political spirit that has attacked the U. S. Jesus taught us to pray, “Your will be done ON EARTH as it is IN HEAVEN!” There is a government system in heaven and God is interested in what happens in the governments of the nations on earth. Jesus is coming to set up His Kingdom – a form of government. This verse below is not just a cute Christmas verse. Look at what it says about God and government.

Isaiah 9:6-7 (NKJV) 6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

One of the heart strings of God revealed in scripture is how people in power use their authority over others. God is not unsensitive to abuse and oppression. These are things that move His heart to make changes in earthly government situations. We need to be interceding into this arena of life just like any other!

Divine Turnovers!

I also sense that a reversal is coming upon the enemies of righteousness in the form of “Turnovers!”  This scripture keeps coming to me…

Proverbs 26:27 (NKJV) 27 Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,And he who rolls a stone will have it roll back on him.

I believe that this a season when the very thing that was sent by the enemy will be turned back against him, and his agents of darkness; those who have become the enemies of God’s people and His ways! Where they thought that it would cause a cascading failure, in its place there will be unprecedented success! That which Joseph said to his brothers will once again be true:

Genesis 50:20 (NKJV) 20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.

This being said, I will go out on a limb again here by saying this; I believe that this upcoming Presidential election will again be historic. That which those who tried to bring down this President will turn against them in an unprecedented way and will actually work in reverse of they intended to do! The very thing that they tried to make happen to him will happen to them! I have a strong sense of many “Turning Against” the status Quo and a great “Turnover” will rattle them to the core!

A Vision of Shaking

I recently saw a vision. I saw the hand of God picking up the entire continental United States of America like one would be wanting to transplant something. As He lifted it up into the air I saw the roots and dirt dangling from underneath it. As He lifted it up He began to shake it, and I saw things dropping off of the roots. I sensed that they were people who were attacking the roots of the nation and trying to destroy the roots.

From this vision, I felt that there is a shaking coming to those who are trying to attack and destroy the constitutional roots of the U.S.A. There has been an underground movement that has been hacking away at the constitutional root system of the U.S.A., and they thought they were close to succeeding, but they are not because of the Divine Intervention that is about to take place.

I also sensed the revealing of another strong underground movement that is ready to stand strong to protect these roots. There was a blindness put upon the destroyers, because they live in the dark places, and they had no idea how large this movement was. They also had no idea that their own actions were causing this movement to grow even larger! This hidden army is about to be revealed! I hear the words, “enough is enough”, and “this far and no farther!”

This army was not made up of Christians only. The shaking that will go on will also shake the church as well. This will be a time of revealed loyalties in those who call themselves the people of God. Many will find themselves confronting religious spirits who carry doctrines of demons! There will be a vast group of freedom loving non-believers who will also be part of this army. These will be used by God to make up for those who do not have “ears to hear and eyes to see” what the Spirit of God is really up to. For many are deceived and serving the god of religion and not the God of Heaven.

Hindsight and Foresight – Back Orders and Orders back!

For many there has been a season of Vision Death, and it has been a long season – even decades! I sense that this will be a time when God will direct those in these situations to use their hindsight to regain foresight. Those whose visions and callings that seem to have been on backorder are going to be ordered back into active duty.

Many Kingdom Warriors have suffered devastating setbacks and have lost all hope. However, I see the Spirit of Life and Hope performing mouth to mouth resuscitation on these casualties of war, and they are not only coming back to life, but they being restored with upgrades and enhancements that will give them a supernatural ability that wasn’t part of their former abilities but is now present and active.

Connecting with The Spirit of Grace to Move Mountains!

By

By Vince Viozzi – 02/09/19

As I was doing my daily bible reading this morning (Saturday 02/09/19) I read this very familiar scripture.

Zechariah 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 So he answered and said to me:

“This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts. 7 ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” ’

My attention was drawn to the words, “With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” 

That’s Double Grace available to move mountains!

We who understand that the Christian life has its encounters with many spiritual mountains, which try to stand in our way, often resort to spiritual warfare when dealing with these mountains. And we recall the words of Jesus who said,

Matthew 21:21-22 (NKJV) 21 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done. 22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

So we begin speaking and commanding the mountains to be removed in Jesus name! While this is not entirely wrong, as I was reading the Prophet Zechariah, I saw that the Lord told him to shout to the mountain “Grace, grace”!  

What is Grace?

Both biblical languages bring out the idea of having favor with God! And this favor is shown to us as God’s influence upon our hearts and then it is reflected in our lives. In other words, those around us, including the spirit realm, can see that we have God’s favor on us because it is reflected in our lives. They see the reflection of Jesus in us and act or react accordingly! This is the source of our influence upon the world around us! It is God’s grace upon our hearts and lives!

The Hebrew meaning is this:

grace, chen (chayn); Strong’s #2580: Favor, grace, graciousness, kindness, beauty, pleasantness, charm, attractiveness, loveliness, affectionate regard. The root chanan means “to act graciously or mercifully toward someone; to be compassionate, to be favorably inclined.”  Nelson, Thomas. NKJV, New Spirit-Filled Life Bible, eBook: Kingdom Equipping Through the Power of the Word . Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

And the Greek meaning is this:

g5485. χάρις charis; from 5463; graciousness (as gratifying), of manner or act (abstract or concrete; literal, figurative or spiritual; especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; including gratitude): — acceptable, benefit, favour, gift, grace(- ious), joy, liberality, pleasure, thank(-s, -worthy).

The Spirit of Grace

One of the references to the Holy Spirit is found in Hebrews 10:29 and He is referred to as “the Spirit of Grace!” This passage actually says that we can insult the Spirit of grace! Heb. 10:29 (NKJV) “… and insulted the Spirit of grace?” Thus, it is possible to actually insult the Holy Spirit and to break His connection to us which gives us the influential favor of God to speak to the mountains in our lives and to reveal to them that we are standing in favor with God and that favor gives us the place as sons and daughters of God to command them to be removed from our lives as we endeavor to enact His “will on earth as it is in heaven!” This is what Jesus did as “The Son of Man!” WOW!

Non-condemning Introspection

How do we know if we have insulted the Spirit of grace? We do so by asking the Spirit to show us if we have, and then repenting of anything He does show us. In Christ, as those who are endeavoring to walk by faith and in the Spirit, we are told by scripture to examine ourselves and to repent of missing the mark of God’s best in our lives. (see 2 Cor. 13:5-6) However, we also need to be aware that the enemy of our souls is right there, and he desires to place us under guilt and condemnation for being a sinner. In Romans 8:1 it says that there is no condemnation that we are to walk under if we are endeavoring in our hearts to walk in the Spirit and to not fulfill the lust of the flesh. God had the Apostle Paul write this to the people of God! And the Same God had the Apostle John write this in 1 John 1:8-10 (NKJV),

“8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.”

Reconnecting & Walking Together

Knowing this, God has already put into place a way, Jesus The Way, to deal with our sins that might be insulting the Spirit of grace, and to cleanse us from them! God is Good! He knows what we are going to do before we do it. That’s why Abraham told Isaac, in Genesis 22:8 (NKJV),

8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.

Did you notice the end of that verse? “So the two of them went together!” When we acknowledge and confess our sins to God, then He is faithful to forgive us and to cleanse us and to restore us to right relationship! How awesome is our God!

Restored Grace!

Once we have gone through the non-condemning repentance and get back into right relationship with the Father, we are now walking together with our loving Father, and the Spirit of grace is once again active in our lives. We are restored in partnership with the King of Heaven! Grace has not only been restored but it has been re-enacted or re-initialized in us as sons and daughters of the Most High God! We are not on our own any longer, and together, God working in us and through us, we can shout to the mountains in our lives and let them know that we are highly favored by God and they have to move!

Mark 16:19-20 (NKJV) 19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

A Final Prayer

Let’s pray together as we reflect upon this teaching.

Heavenly Father, I come humbly before you and I ask you to reveal to my heart and mind if there is anything that I have done to insult you. Please show me any sins in my life that I need to confess and repent of so that I can be restored in Your grace. I do not want to hurt You, Father, nor do I want to insult Your Spirit in any way, so I say right now, that I am sorry for these things that You are revealing to me, and I am endeavoring to repent and change so that I may walk together with You and Your Spirit of grace. I thank you for Your grace that I need to continue to walk free from sin and to be in partnership with You so that I can be an agent of grace in the earth for Your glory and honor. Thank You that You are faithful and just even when I am not. I receive Your loving forgiveness and re-invite You to come back into my life so that I can be all that You want me to be! In Jesus name I pray! Amen

Now go get ‘em!

You are awesome and you are loved!

Endure by Hope & Faith!

By

Vince Viozzi Ministries PLOG

http://www.vinceviozzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/image.png

Hebrews 10:34-38 (NKJV) “… knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven. 35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: 37 “For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.  38 Now the just shall live by faith;…”

When I read this scripture passage this morning I felt inspired to encourage those of you who may be going through some really hard issues! These verses are in Hebrews chapter 10, which precedes the “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews chapter 11.

How did these people of great faith get to the “Hall of Faith?” They got there by holding on through the winds and the storms! They kept their eyes on Jesus through the trials and testing’s! Instead of bailing ship, they lowered their anchors of hope, which secured them in the bedrock of faith, and held on tight through the storms.

Hebrews 6:17-20 (NKJV) 17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. 19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20 where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

If you are struggling and under the attacks of the enemy, or just with life issues in general, I want to remind you that it IMPOSSIBLE for God to lie! His promises to you will come to pass! He will either take you through, or see you through it! Both of these are promises of God! (See Hebrews 11:38 – 40) He will be the strength and refuge that you need Him to be, and He will hold you up when you cannot stand on your own! When answers don’t come as expected in this life then we have heaven to look forward to! Put your hope in God! This life is only a temporary pit stop!

This kind of hope brings the presence of God to you in the midst of your trials and tribulations and takes you behind the veil, into His secret place, where you are safe and sound! Jesus told His disciples many times, “Do not be afraid!” In essence He was saying, I’ve got your back at all times in every situation! I Am your safe place!

For more encouragement from the Word read Psalm 91!

Abundant Life Blessings!
