AOC Network is getting ready to release another documentary. This time, about repentance. I watched the trailer below this morning and I'm really looking forward to watching the full video in the new year. Thank Jerren! On a personal note, I woke up at 1:00am last night with a heavy heart about the relationships I've lost since becoming a follower of Christ, so I spent a few hours in my prayer closet speaking to the LORD and reading His word (there's something really special about meeting with God in the secret place at night). Every day, I'm learning new details about the LORD's character and His righteous and I'm amazed at how He always seems to bring together the specific information I need to hear to help me understand His Will for my life at just the right moment in time. The LORD instructed me to read Jeremiah 4:14 last night,in response to my prayers for my unsaved friends and family. The verse says this: "Jerusalem, wash the evil from your heart and be saved. How long will you harbor wicked thoughts?" And then this morning, the first video in my newsfeed was about Simon the Sorcerer who was an unrepented believer with an unclean heart. We all get things wrong and it's common to bring our old ways of thinking into our new relationship with Christ, but when another person brings your sin to light - your response to that Truth is very telling about the condition of your heart. I've come to understand that the issue is not whether God can change my family and friends, but whether they want to change. Will they let go of what has served them in the past (money, power, authority, deceit)? Will they commit themselves to the grace of a good God and allow the Spirit to change the intentions of their hearts? I suppose only time will tell, but I will continue to pray for their souls and their salvation until the LORD finally plucks me from this fallen world and takes me home, Praise God. 🙏 Talk about kicking me out of the nest and teaching me how to fly! 🤣 The LORD is releasing me (His timid sheep) into the world (full of wolves). BUT it's OK, because the Holy Spirit is with me and He keeps telling me how proud He is of me for taking this step. THANK YOU JESUS FOR GIVING ME YOUR STRENGTH! I have no idea what this will bring into my life, but I am OK with not knowing. This move is all about faith - faith in God and His promises for my life. I do, however, kind of feel like a sitting duck. 🤣 But I have a feeling that's the point. God is saying to me, "Oh ye of little faith, will you focus on the storm or on Me this time? Will you continue to doubt, or will you finally trust that on My wings, you will sore into the Heavens like the Blessed eagle I created you to be?" Praise Jesus. Your daughter is ready to FLY! Hi Friends, It's been a difficult few months for me so I've been spending most of my time in prayer. I didn't mean to disappear - it wasn't may intention to forget about you. I'm sorry. Consistency has always been a problem for me. I seem to have all the gusto in the world to think up new ideas and get started, but when push comes to shove, I have a hard time withstanding the storm. I often fold like a cheap suit when things go wrong (or become scary). I end up just running away in fear and waiting for the danger to pass. I can certainly relate to Peter in my walk with the LORD: And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” The LORD knows I am plagued with doubt - especially self doubt. There are so many things I would like to do - sing, teach, pray, deliver, share the gospel, climb a mountain, feed the homeless, perform my one-man show! But because I think so little of myself (and I'm afraid of what others think) I can't seem to make any of these things a reality. Not too mention the fact that even the slightest hint of mockery or disapproval makes me stop in my tracks and doubt my decision. This condition has been absolutely debilitating for me my entire life, but I have hope and faith that the LORD will heal me. He has already cured me of my anxiety and addictions - now I just need to get over my "people pleasing" tendencies so I can finally be useful in the Kingdom of God. 😉 Yesterday I watched the video below and Latoya gave me the "kick in the pants" I needed to get back in the game. Thank you for being so obedient to the LORD Latoya. I am very grateful for your words of encouragement. It is my prayer that if you are reading this post and you resonate with my struggle, that you be released from the bondage of people-pleasing today, in Jesus Name. P.S I just read through this post and found it very helpful, so you may want to check it out too. I especially like this part: "The goal for her is to be like Jesus rather than this delusional idea that she has in her mind. Christ was so connected to His Father that He was free to say “yes” or “no,” depending on what a situation needed. The opinion that mattered most to Him was His Father’s, and He knew He had that good opinion, which empowered Him to live in the Father’s perfect pleasure. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you, I am well pleased.” (Mark 1:11) This freedom released Jesus to be free to make decisions that were untethered from the pressures, manipulations, or (perceived) desires of other people, whether their desires were good or not. We see this illustrated when Mary and Martha came to Him, asking about their brother. They wanted Jesus to heal their brother, Lazarus. Jesus, on the other hand, did not respond the way they wanted Him to answer them (John 11:6, 14-15). He was resting in the Father’s favorable opinion of Him, which freed Him to make a clear-headed decision about the best course of action." I'll be back tomorrow with some more resources for you. While I am far from having all the answers, I spend a lot of time studying the Word of God so if you want someone to journey with - someone who's still in the trenches herself - I invite you to hang around and stay in touch. Much love, Carmen XO Brothers and sisters I have been DELIVERED and now the Lord is setting me up for REVIVAL!!!!! Praise Jesus! There is POWER in the name of Jesus. There is DELIVERANCE in the name of Jesus. Look up! Because the time IS NOW - the miraculous HEALING POWER of Jesus has come. This prophetic Word (watch the video below) came to me this morning and I know it was God making His Will known to me. I don't have much more to say on this now, but I wanted to document this moment in time, because I can feel in my spirit that God is about to do a MIGHTY thing in me in order to glorify Him and I feel the Holy Spirit calling me to a deliverance ministry! Lead me Jesus! Set me free of the shackles of worldly things so I can deliver the oppressed in the streets of my nation. In JESUS' MIGHTY NAME! Hallelujah! The faithful shall be set free in JESUS' MIGHTY NAME! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God! The devil seeks to devour its prey. He is UNmerciful, UNforgiving, and he harbours ANGER and HATRED in his heart. If you are experiencing any of these emotions - then I need you to know - that you are being influenced by the devil. Keeping count of how many times people have wronged you, judging the actions of others from a place of anger, not meeting people where they are at - these are all ways of the devil - NOT God. God would never encourage you to stay mad at someone. He commands us to turn the other cheek, forgive, and pray for their salvation. THAT is the good and loving character of God. I was deceived for so long, but on August 3, 2021 God delivered be from the chains and bondage of Satan for good. I was letting the devil influence my thoughts and decisions and I didn't even know it, but God is good and faithful and He delivered me!!! So please, learn from my mistakes and evaluate everything you think and hear with God's actual Word (which is the Bible). The devil is a LIAR and he wants to take you down - and he will do just that if you let him - believe me on that one! I also wanted to share this "Word Of The Day" because it was pressed upon my heart this morning in prayer - God said to me: "No weapon shall prosper against you! .......................................... no weapon. no weapon. no weapon. No weapon. No weapon. No weapon. NO weapon. NO weapon. NO weapon. NO weapon. NO weapon. NO weapon." He kept saying those two words to me over and over again until I finally grasped what the Lord was telling me...............
That I have nothing to fear moving forward because no weapon - NOTHING - will prevail against the sons and daughters of the Living God. We have nothing to fear, but fear itself, my brothers and sisters in Christ - because fear is not from God, fear is from the devil. God wants us to know that we are SAFE in His tabernacle and we have nothing to fear is this world because if He is for us, then who can be against us? Praise Jesus! Thank you Jesus! Someone needs to hear this today, so if you are reading this post, it is because God used me to press upon YOUR heart something very important today...... God wants you to know that you are SAFE to share His truth with the world. God's got you! You belong to Him. You have no reason to fear. The Lord Jesus Christ bought you with His own blood and he will protect you, child of God. Move forward in faith and trust and you will be delivered from ALL evil. No weapon can reach you, friend. Be bold as a lion. The Lord has you safe in His tabernacle. Blessings friends. xo In the early morning of August 4th, God healed me, restored me, forgave me, and gave me His Grace. Thank you Jesus! Today, I offer the same forgiveness and opportunity for a new beginning that God has to given me - not because I expect anything in return - but because I can finally recognize His voice and Spirit and I know that he is asking me to do this today for Him.
He is asking me to step out in FAITH. To trust in His strength and protection to help me cross over into His will and the Blessings he has prepared for me. I will obey Him. Today I will follow His lead and not my own. Lord Jesus. Thank You for loving me, choosing me, protecting me, and forgiving me of my sins. For so long I couldn't discern Your voice with the devil's - I was sleeping with the enemy - but you SAVED me on Tuesday night. I am Yours Lord Jesus. Forever Yours. Lead me and I will follow you, today, and forever more.......... Thank You in the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS!!!!! This song reminds me of the deadly dance I was stuck in for so long with the dark Lord. Please hear me when I say this - Satan doesn't come as an enemy of darkness, but as an angel of light! He will make you "feel" good. He will lure you into pleasure and desire. He will caress your soul and whisper sweet nothings in your ear - but he is also the shadow in the darkness that smiles when you fall and is just waiting for the moment he can devour you. If you have ever been in a relationship with a narcissist - well - that is who Satan is. He is a trickster. Good at talking a good talk - but WHO he is - is a lying, evil, DESTROYER of people. Take heed and be careful - the enemy is harder to detect than you think. I wanted to post a video from another beautiful sister in Christ, in case one of my readers needed to hear this Word today, too. Personally, I have been battling with a sin of the flesh, and only recently (August 3rd) was I delivered from it. I wanted to share this warning, because my sin caused me to NOT ONLY fall into Satan's deceptive hands, but it blocked my blessings from the Lord. I urge you to look at the activities and thoughts you are participating in and compare it with the Word of God because "I thought" I was being spiritual, but in reality, I was just acting like a drunkard! Satan is really good at convincing us that our behaviour is OK - when it's not - so this is just a warning to be VIGILENT during these end times. Satan wants nothing more than to stop us from being with the Lord. That is his main agenda. Never forget that truth! So, FIGHT every temptation he throws your way my friends, and say NO to his lies and invitations - his ways only leads to death. Blessings xo. "Lord Jesus. I thank you for the messes in my life. I thank you for the endless storms, so my attention could be brought back to you. I pray for your grace and forgiveness. I am sorry for not obeying you. I was so confused by the voices, I didn't know it was You who was speaking to me. I thank you for a second chance. I am ready Lord. I feel like Jonah who spent time in the whale becoming restored in your Word and Promise. I will obey you my King. I am scared, but you know that. You know my heart. You know how very scared I am of this world, but I know that You can move mountains for me and I trust you, Jesus. Thank you for my second wind and for all the beautiful birds you have sent my way to show me that you are going to teach me how to FLY. I am Yours. Forever Yours." This woman is FIRE! What an absolute blessing to have her in the body of Christ :-) I had to share this video with all of you, because she popped into my "recommended videos" section and the synchronicity of her teaching today and my particular situation in uncanny. This video aired on Sunday, July 25th, 2021 - the official start of my Patreon Page for Christ Based Healing. I can see now, that the Lord has been molding me and getting me ready for this day my entire life. All the disappointments, all the failures, all the dead ends - they all had a purpose and they all led me to this day! I am not sure what God has in store for me now, but for the first time in my life, I am at peace with not knowing. I trust the Lord Jesus Christ with all my being and I have given myself up to Him without reservation. "Do with me as you will, my King. Direct my path and utilize me in the body of Christ for Your glory. All praises to the Most High God. Amen" What a wonderful time to be brought to life through the Word of God. Thank you Lord. :-) P.S My first video on my channel talks about the effects of bad company. This video is an example of what happens when you keep GOOD company - so don't forget to spend time listening to your brothers and sisters in Christ who build you up. This will provide the edification and fellowship you need to grow into WHO God wants you to be. He absolutely has a plan for you - I am proof of that, but I also understand now that I wouldn't be where I am today without standing on the shoulders of my brave Christian family who came before me. Thank you for stepping up. I can hardly wait to see you in the millennial kingdom. Where would I be without you, O Lord? How would my life have crumbled and fallen without your protection and grace? Would I still be alive? Would I be wandering the pits of hell in anguish and sorrow? Thankfully, I will never know that tragic end......
I love the passage below, because sadly, it has been my living truth. To be abandoned and forsaken by those you rely and count on - is soul crushing. But to be received and protected by our Father in heaven - is nothing short of miraculous. And I would rather be alone on earth and loved in heaven, then surrounded by people and removed from His book of life. Thank you Jesus for saving me. May I never forget that You, and only You, are my blessed hope. All glory to the Lord Jesus Christ forever and ever. Amen The enemy is always looking for ways to twist our Lord's words and lead His people astray. Many evildoers in the realm of "new age" and "eastern philosophy" LIE about our King in Heaven every day and try to convince the lost that they are "little gods" and contain the power and knowledge of the Most High within them. THAT is blasphemy friends and EXACTLY the type of thinking that got our ancestors kicked out of the garden of Eden and cursed with death. Do not listen to these liars! Your salvation depends on it. God came to earth as a man. His name was Jesus Christ. The Most High is not an "idea", "thought" or "consciousness". Jesus Christ is both fully man and fully God. The Lord took OUR punishment and died for OUR sins. He found a way to reconcile His children - the Believers - back to Himself. Where we fail, the Lord succeeds. Where we fail short, the King of the Universe is abundant. The ONLY reason we have the promise of eternal life, is because that is the will of our Father in Heaven. Understand that. You have had NO PART in that decision. You are not God. You are not "a" god. You are not a "piece" of God. You are God's creation. Period. Here is a 14 minutes video I found on YouTube. I think is does a good job of explaining the CONTEXT behind the verses that are most commonly perverted and twisted around to suit the agenda of Satan's followers. If you have more resources that will help our brethren be prepared to speak out against these lies, please share them in the comments. It would be very much appreciated. Peace be with you brothers and sisters. This is a crazy episode for me to watch. You probably don't know this, but once upon a time I wanted to be an actor and then God led me away from that dream. I also wanted to be a teacher, but there were so many rules and policies that I disagreed with, that being a teacher within the public school board no longer felt like a good fit for me. On occasion I have questioned if abandoning those dreams so many years ago was the right decision for me to make, but I can see now that my life would have been very different if I continued walking down either of those paths. The magnificent thing is that I have come to know in my heart that my life and existence have been divinely protected and guided by God this entire time. The Lord Jesus Christ is guiding my every step! He knows that my true desire is to be with Him so He is guiding me to Him. So many times I have made the wrong choice, but He continues to come and find me in this world. Yes. I'm pretty sure I am divinely protected. "Dear Jesus, Thank you for coming to show me the right path I am supposed to be on, and for reminding me that if I simply believe in Your greatness and Your love for me; that if I seek You with all my heart and with all my soul and if I love You above all things - You will protect me and provide for me if this life (and in the next). You are my greatest joy and most pressing hope for the future. You are almighty and all powerful and You cannot be stopped. Thank you for loving me enough to come back for me my Lord. I eagerly await Your return. Your humble servant, Carmen" I found a new Christian YouTuber today! I loved the way Allie Beth Stuckey brought everything back to scripture and reminded her listeners that we (as Christian) cannot replace God's doctrine for worldly doctrines if we want to be raptured into His Kingdom (which could happen any day now). Let this be a wakeup call and a reminder that judging people based on external appearances is wrong - we should be analyzing the contents of people's hearts , not their skin colour, to see if they are children of God, or children of Satan. Remember, our outward actions, result from the inward condition of our heart. In our sinful nature, we bear things such as idolatry, sexual immorality, jealousy, lying, stealing, and fits of anger. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…" To understand more about the contrasts of the works (or fruit) of the flesh compared to those of the Holy Spirit, open up your bibles to Galatians 5:16-24. And please don't allow Satan to confuse you with this lie....... The question has never been, "Who does God love?" - For God loves everyone. He made you. Of course He loves and treasures you. The real question is whether YOU love God and that decision (the willful choice to accept or reject God's free gift of salvation) has eternal consequences. Never forget that truth - for your very existence depends on it. Blessings XO I'm sorry I haven't posted very much this month. I've been in deep prayer trying to understand what's going on in the world and I got side-tracked - I'm sorry. But I am happy to report that I found a great video to watch if you want to understand how this nightmare ends for us Christians. I am blown away by everything I've been learning and this was such a blessing to have pop up in my feed today. Enjoy xo This is a very important interview to listen to - but please do not stop there. Continue your search for the truth so you can be prepared for what's to come before the Lord's glorious return. I recommend visiting Dr.TenPenny's website at https://vaxxter.com to learn more about the dangerous ingredients drug companies are putting in there vaccines, as well as subscribing to the Sons of Liberty's podcast on BitChute to hear more experts talk about the corruption happening across the globe. Satan wants you dead my friends and we live in Satan's world. Never forget that! He's currently using wolves in sheep's clothing to make that happen, so pay attention to the people in your life - they could be Satan's minion. Put your FULL FAITH in the Lord brothers and sisters - trust in Him only. Jesus Christ is faithful, righteous, and good, and He has promised victory to those of us who endure faithfully for His name's sake until the very end. Long live King Jesus! 🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺 Blessings. xo Are you aware that only 5.6% of people in Ontario (and only 6.16% in all of Canada) have received the shot marketed to stop COVID-19? (info last updated on March 13, 2021 on this site) https://www.ctvnews.ca/.../coronavirus-vaccine-tracker... Friends, I need you to understand that this is a NEW TECHNOLOGY and unlike ANY vaccine you have ever received in the past - it is not like the flu shot. Hear me when I say this....It is NOTHING LIKE THE FLU SHOT. Your life and your body are precious and you cannot undo this decision. I know you are scared - I understand that - but I love you and I do not want to see you hurt. This drug has NOT been approved. Hear me when I say that. It has been "authorized" under the emergency act and that is not the same thing. Language matters! mRNA technology has been studied since early 2000, but has never made it past animals studies because of safety issues. There are no long term studies on how this technology works in the human body. NONE. YOU are the test subject. Understand that. Your decisions are your own, I recognize that, but this is serious stuff and you could die. I need you to understand what I am telling you. I don't watch television so I have no idea what propaganda is being thrown your way - but based on my conversations with people - those that have taken this vaccine HAVE NOT been given "informed" consent. They have no idea what is in these drugs. They didn't even know what mRNA stood for when I spoke to them! That is horrifying to me since I spent 12 years in a research career. If you decide to get this shot, I simply ask you to do this one REASONABLE thing. DO NOT go to some random clinic for the shot. Canada has authorized 4 different vaccines (and they all have different ingredients). Make an appointment with your doctor and ask them if you should get the shot (based on their knowledge of your medical history and the research they have done on the available data for these vaccines). If they say yes, request that they write you a prescription with the SPECIFIC drug they recommend you take and have them SIGN IT. Why? Because you may not be unaware of this, but vaccine manufacturers are not liable for injuries caused by their drugs. HOWEVER, all medical doctors have taken a vow to "do no harm" so if it is proven that a doctor's negligence caused injury or death they can lose their licence and be sued. Protect yourself and get the prescription. You are encouraged to talk to your doctor when you decide to change your diet, start a new exercise regiment, or even take VITAMINS. Why on earth would you ever take a brand new drug without speaking to your doctor first? Please take the time to weight out your options and remember... "God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7) Peace be with you. xo This music is perfect for solo activities (writing, meditation, prayer, and relaxation). I personally find it very therapeutic and the periodic scriptures that pop up on the screen make it a very effective prayer tool. If you are new to the faith and want to speak with God (but you aren't sure where to begin) this could be a very helpful tool for you. Find a quiet place where you wont be disturbed and use the scripture on the screen as an entry point for talking with God. You don't need to speak to Him in a specific way - God is so gentle, forgiving, patient, and kind - He just wants to know you, walk with you, and guide you as you journey though life. Open your heart to Him today and ask God to show you who He is. Seek and ye shall find! I assure you, nothing in this world is more precious than the love and daily communion with your Creator. Blessings friend. xo Understanding the FULL gospel is crucial for achieving salvation and entering the kingdom of heaven. I don't want you to end up in hell because you believed the lies of Satan, but for many, MANY people this is a sad reality, so if you want to secure your place beside our Lord and Saviour I encourage you to listen to this podcast today.
