Romans 8:37 (NIV) In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Please grasp the following concept revealed to me this morning by the holy spirit:
The power we have as conquerors (triumphant winners over all) is made possible through LOVE and LOVE and LOVE.
Affirmative statement: I am made more than victorious through the Love of Christ. The power I have is within his love.
~The love of God is enough to cause you to win~
In my spirit (heavy) this week...
Ephesians 3:20-21 (Amp) Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]. To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it).
Isaiah 30:18 (Amp)
And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts himself up, that he may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for him, who expect and look and long for him [for his victory, his favor, his love, his peace, his joy, and his matchless, unbroken companionship]!
Lamentations 3:25 (Amp)
The Lord is good to those who wait hopefully and expectantly for him, to those who seek him [inquire of and for Him and require him by right of necessity and on the authority of God’s word].
Psalm 62:5-6 (Amp) My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to him; for my hope and expectation are from him. He is my rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved.
Romans 10:10 (Amp) For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (Amp) Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

Justice League
The Justice League, also called the Justice League of America, is a superhero team that appears in comic books. The team includes Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Black Canary, Aquaman and others. Their main purpose is to provide justice for those who have been mistreated, and cannot well represent themselves.
The Justice League, of course, is fictional. But even in real life, we operate under the same philosophy. Many people spend money on high priced lawyers to make sure they are fairly and justly treated when going to trial. Others rely on family or friends to "have their back" and make sure they are never mistreated, or are on the losing side of a battle. We rely on government, law enforcement, and different forms of leadership to be the voice for those who don't always feel like they have one. We all believe that at some point either our money, education, titles, jobs, family, associations, etc. will justify us in some capacity.
Romans 8:30 (NIV) And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
However, God has already justified us. Is is not our responsibility to make sure that "justice is served" in the way that we see fit. If a life situation has treated you in a way that you feel to be unfair, know that God has already made a way for justice in your life. Don't waste time waiting for someone to ask for your forgiveness, or make things right with you. Don't concentrate on how things look to the natural eye. God is the great justifier! Through him you have already received your justice. You don't have to prove that to anyone. The bible says that God is the King of Glory. That surpasses the law of the land. Any judge, any law, any decree; every situation comes under his name.
Isaiah 30:18 (NIV) Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him.
Romans 10:10 (NIV) For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
JUSTICE IS SERVED
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14 (KJV)
This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.
Romans 3:22 (NIV)
Affirmative statement: I am the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ.
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5 (KJV)
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20 (KJV)
But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)

Peace
I feel a strong impression to share the tremendous level of peace I have been feeling in my spirit lately. There is no better place to be than in right standing with God. When you make the decision to let go and let GOD, you are showing him how much you truly trust him. Surrendering to him will allow his mighty hand to move in your life. One of the first signs of being in God's will is a feeling of peace. Knowing that you are living a life that is pleasing to God allows him to shine in your life, in more areas than one (and believe me, people notice!). Ephesians 4:30 tells us not to grieve the holy spirit. Grieving the holy spirit includes doing things that we know we should not do. By doing this, we cause the spirit of God that is within us grief. Disobedience to God (the Holy Spirit) breaks God's heart. I have made the decision lately to do my best not to grieve the holy spirit, and be obedient to God's still, gentle voice on the inside of me. I long to be faithful to him. I am addicted to peace. A simple rule to follow: FOLLOW PEACE
I am so grateful for the place I'm at right now, as I recently celebrated my 30th birthday. I'm not going to say it was easy to let go of my 20's (I have some GREAT memories), but I honestly feel like I am stepping into my own at this point in my life. I know who I am. I know what/who I am rooted and grounded in. I have identified and am living in my purpose. I have had enough failures and successes to make better choices and be more responsible. I am elevated..and it feels good.
I am so thankful to my heavenly father who has:
-Carried me through every mountain and every valley (sometimes while I was kicking and screaming).
-Held my face up when I was too ashamed and hurt to even look myself in the face.
-Nudged me out of my comfort zone in order to stretch me (which leads to growth).
-Saw the best in me when everyone else saw the worst in me (because he created me in his likeness, and he KNOWS what's on the inside of me).
-Provided for me before the world was framed (Gave me my family and a spiritually rich heritage- for which I was created).
I stand in Awe of you! And I am forever grateful :)
PEACE~
RECEIVE
"One moment of God's grace will do more for you than a lifetime of your own labor"
We spend a lot of time throughout our lives trying to earn the favor and grace of God. While it is our responsibility to be faithful and righteous over the things God gives us, it is impossible for us to earn his grace. God gives it to us because he LOVES us (a whole lot) and he DESIRES to bless our lives. That's it. The love of God is very hard to understand, but he loves us enough to do things for us that we clearly do not deserve. Take time every day during your prayer time to say to God:
-I RECEIVE your grace
-I RECEIVE your mercy
-I RECEIVE your favor
-I RECEIVE your forgiveness
Stop spending so much time asking God for things, or feeling like you've got to prove yourself to God because you've messed up so many times in the past. Realize that he has already given you grace to make it through whatever situation you may find yourself in, and has made provision for you to have the desires of your heart if you continue to abide in him. Speak into existence your acceptance and receipt of the things that will allow God to move in your life (His grace, his mercy, his favor). It pleases God when we let him know that we trust him enough to receive the things he's provided for us, and we trust him enough to get out of the way in order for him to MOVE! Remember, God is a gentleman. He does not force himself on anyone. We must accept him and surrender all to him.
Isaiah 30:18 (Amp)
And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts himself up, that he may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you.

Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who [earnestly] wait for him, who expect and look and long for him [for his victory, his favor, his love, his peace, his joy, and his matchless, unbroken companionship]!
