I brought the healing oil from Rejoice Essential Oils and I put it on my husband’s fracture ankle. He had previously tore his Achilles tendon two years ago and has been having pain on and off. I anointed his ankle with the healing oil and it became very hot. He said to me, “ Baby my ankle feels very hot.” I said, “That’s the fire of God healing you.” So the next day, my husband sent a text saying that all his pain was gone. God healed my husband’s ankle. I am so thankful. God is a healer and the fire of God is real. ~Shamecca, NY I brought some regular oil from Rejoice Essential Oils and when I went to grab the package out of the mail box, I felt heat go through my body. Immediately my back pain was gone. God healed my back. I have been going to the clinic

for months because of the pain. I never had to open the vial of oil because the anointing was so strong. Now I can bend over without any pain. ~Greg, NC. I hurt my shoulder while working in the military. I purchased some healing oil from Rejoice Essential Oils. I annointed my shoulder and I felt the presence of God. I haven’t felt his presence in awhile. My shoulder has been healing speedily. I thank God for accelerating my recovery. ~ Justin, CO. Prophetess, I anointed myself with the Ester Oil.

Lord, I confess and repent of my sins today. Your word says in 1 John 1:9 that if I confess my sins, you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse me of all unrighteousness. Lord, I decree that I am the righteousness of God and I receive it by faith. The devil is a liar and he can no longer condemn me about my past because my past is covered in the blood of Jesus. Thank you, Lord, for your favor, deliverance, provision, success, and answers to my prayers that comes from being righteous. Thank you Lord in Jesus name Amen.

Did you know that righteousness is a gift? That’s right! It’s a free gift offered to you by faith through Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17 says, “Receive the abundance of grace and the FREE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. That’s right, when you accept this free gift of righteousness; you will reign in this life. That means no matter how evil or how mess up a situation is you will overcome it through your righteousness in Christ. Love endures all. Christ has giving us the victory. So what does righteousness mean? It simply means to be right with God. This is powerful because Jesus died for us and bore the penalty of our sins so we can have access to the God the Father. Righteousness is not a feeling but it’s based on your faith. No matter how awful you sinned in the past, if you confess your sins and repent, God will cleanse you of all unrighteousness. Will you accept this free gift? This gift of righteousness has so many benefits.

1) FAVOR. For thou, LORD, will bless the righteous; with favor will thou compass him as with a shield.” (Psalm 5:12) 2) DELIVERANCE. “The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.” (Psalm 34:17) 3) PROVISION. “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread … The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein forever.” (Psalm 37:25, 29) 4) SUCCESS. “The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.” (Psalm 92:12) 5) ANSWERS TO PRAYERS. “For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers…” (1 Peter 3:12)

Wouldn’t be wonderful to know that God hears and will answer your prayers without any doubt? It starts with righteousness. Righteousness is a free gift that you can obtain by faith in Jesus. It’s not a feeling. The worse sinners can become the righteousness in Christ. Most people prayers aren’t heard because of their lack of righteousness. Proverbs 15:29 says, “The LORD is far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous.” The prayers of the righteous avails much (James 5:16). So if you want results to your prayers, accept the gift of righteousness. Dear Heavenly Father, I come humbly but boldly to your throne. I confess my sins and repent Lord. I believe that Jesus died for me and I want him to come into my heart and have a relationship with me. Lord, wash me from all unrighteousness. I decree that I am now the righteousness of God and I am alive and hidden in Christ Jesus. I decree that you Lord will hear and give me answers to my prayers as you will and not as I will. Thank you Lord, for answering this prayer in Jesus name Amen.

ing. Lord, I am facing a trial but I know you are with me. When I pass through the waters, you will be with me; when I pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over me. When I walk through the fire, I will not be burned; the flames will not set me ablaze (Isaiah 43:2-NIV).

Agitate: According

to Webster, agitate is to move or force into violent, irregular action. It can also mean to disturb or excite emotionally. Subsequently, it could mean to call to attention by speech or writing. Is this emotion coming against you today? Has something been taking from you and you tried everything in your will to get it back but had no success? Are you facing a trial or tribulation and you are agitated during the storm in your life? God wants your attention. He wants you to focus on him so he will get you through the adversity. If you stay in faith, God will restore everything you lost and you will receive double for your trouble in his timing. Keep a positive attitude because you

are about to come out of your circumstances a stronger and better person. Dear Heavenly Father, I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving (Psalms 69:30). 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NKJV) says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” Psalms 30:5 (NKJV) says weeping may endure for a night, buy joy comes in the morn-

I declare that I will cast all my cares on the Lord and he will sustain me because he will never let the righteous fall (Psalm 55:22). Psalm 147:3 says,” He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Lord, I refuse to focus on my circumstances but rather on you. Your word tells me in Philippians 4:8 to think about true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy things. Lord, I will have great peace because I love your law and nothing can make me stumble (Psalm 119:165). I declare Isaiah 50:7 (KJV) over my situation: For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. Lord, the battle is not mine’s but yours. The enemy is overcome by your blood Jesus and my testimony. Lord, I will stay still and you will fight my battles. Thank you for turning my test into a testimony. Thank you Lord for my breakthrough, vindication, and restoration in Jesus name Amen.

Obesity affects over 30% of our population1. Obesity is determined by many determinants. Some determinants of the central nervous systems are signals such as hormones and neurotransmitters that circulate in the blood. These signals control the amount of glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids in the blood.

positive and negative feedbacks1. Leptin is a genetic determinant that is synthesized in adipocytes or fat cells. Its main purpose is to coordinate the responses of brain neuropeptide and neurotransmitter pathway to provide a situationally appropriate regulation of food intake, metabolic rate, energy balance, and fat storage1. Lastly, other determinants of obesity are the amount of physical activity and sociocultural influences.

THE BEST DEVOTIONAL THIS IS A LIFE CHANGING TESTIMONIAL. GOD IS A GOD WHO DOES THE IMPOSSIBLE. NO MATTER HOW IMPOSSIBLE YOUR SITUATION IS GOD CAN TURN IT AROUND. THIS BOOK SHOWS HOW GOD CAN TURN YOUR SITUATION AROUND.

CONQUERING LIES Marcus had secret sin in his life. While his wife, Sally laid downstairs in their bedroom, Marcus was upstairs on his computer. Marcus had a porn addiction and he would have emotional affairs with women he met on the internet. Often times the emotional affairs would lead to physical affairs. Marcus began to lie to his wife to cover up his sins. The more Marcus lied the easier it became for him and he began to lie over the smallest things. One day, Sally felt a check in her spirit and

sensed that Marcus was being dishonest. She began to do some digging and found out about Marcus’s secret lifestyle. She confronted Marcus about it but he continued to lie even with evidence presented to him. Sally realized that she could not trust Marcus because he was a habitually liar. The pain Sally felt was devastating and she decided to leave Marcus. After Sally left Marcus, he came to his senses and realized that how wrong he was. He tried to reach out to Sally but

she did not want to have anything to do with him. Marcus humbled himself and cried out to God. God began to change Marcus from the inside out and after a few months others began to see the change in him. One day while at the grocery store, Marcus and Sally bumped into each other. Sally saw how Marcus was different and Marcus told her that he had given his life to God. Marcus invited Sally to church and she went the following Sunday. Sally gave her life to Christ soon


after and her and Marcus reconciled.

2 Corinthians 7:14 says, “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” This is exactly what Marcus did; he humbled himself and prayed to God. God heard his prayers and helped him overcome his lying and restored his marriage. Marcus found the following scriptures and mediated on them to help him overcome lying: Proverbs 12:22 “Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.” John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stayed

Proverbs 6:16-19 says, “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speak lies, and he that sow discord among brethren.” Heavenly Father, I come boldly to your throne. I confess that I have a lying tongue and I repent for this. I struggle in this area and I know you are the only one who can help me. Psalms 145:18 says The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. John 8:32 says “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Proverbs 16:13 says Righteous lips are the delight of a king, and he loves him who speaks what is right. John 17:17, Sanctify me in the truth; your word is truth.

Lord, I will walk in victory since I serve you and not in defeat. I can do all things in Christ that strengthens me. Lord as in Ephesians 6:16, I will put on the belt of truth daily as part of the full armor of God so that I may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. I decree this day, that I will not let no corrupt communicate come out of my mouth because I am the righteousness of God. In Jesus name Amen. Scriptures to Mediate on to Overcome Lying: Leviticus 19:11 (ESV), “You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another.” Proverbs 19:22 (ESV), “What is desired in a man is steadfast love, and a poor man is better than a liar.” Proverbs 12:19 (ESV),” Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.”

Do you struggle with telling the truth? Have you lost everything because of your lies? Maybe you have hurt your love ones around you because of your lies? If so, remember there is a God that loves you and can help you overcome.

not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”

DAILY PRAYERS THAT BRING CHANGES PRAY FOR BOLDNESS Dear Heavenly Father, You are the creator of the universe. Lord, bless me to stretch out my hand to heal, and to perform signs and wonders in Jesus’s name. Lord, do extraordinary miracles by my hands like you did for Paul (Acts 19:11). I decree that I shall live and not die and profess the works of the Lord of Jesus Christ. Lord, your word tells me in John 14:12 that if I believe in you, I will also do greater works than what Jesus had done. Lord, thank you that I can cast out demons and speak in new tongues (Mark 16:17). Lord, thank you that I can speak to mountains because of my faith and nothing will be impossible to me (Matthew 17:20). Lord, bless me to be like the apostles; everywhere I preach, may you confirm the message by accompanying signs (Mark 16:20). Lord, may your Glory be upon me as you use me as a vessel of servant hood. By faith, I declare that I have the anoint-

ing of God, and I have healing in my hands. Lord, give me a double anointing like you did for Elisha. Lord, I thank you that my prayers are powerful enough to cause rain to fall like Elijah did. Lord, let your consuming fire burn deep into my belly. Lord, let your words that are sharper than a two edged sword be in my mouth. Lord, you have giving me the power to decree such a thing, and it will be established. I declare that I will use your words to speak life over any cir-

cumstance that I face. Thank you, Lord, for the miracles that you perform. Thank you, Lord, for answering this prayer in Jesus’s name. Amen.

PRAY ALL THE TIME Dear Heavenly Father, Lord, I will bless your name at all times, and your praise shall be continually in my mouth. God, bless me to pray without ceasing. Lord, bless me to rejoice


weary and lose heart. I decree that great things are coming my way. I declare that blesses are coming my way and no devil in hell will be able to steal what belongs to me. Thank you, Jesus for answering this prayer in your mighty name. Amen.

FEARLESS TEACHING Dear Heavenly Father, Lord, I decree and declare that I am as bold as the Lion of Judah. God, I thank you that I am fearless of teaching your Word. God, I thank you that your Word is written on the tablet of my heart and bounded around my neck. God, I thank you that I mediate on your word day and night. I decree Ephesians 6:20 that “I am an ambassador in chains; that in it, I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.” God, I pray that I decrease and you increase in me. Lord, thank you for putting on me the mind of

Christ today. God, bless me to obey you rather than man. I decree and declare that if God be for me who can be against me. Ephesians 3:12 (ESV) says, “In whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him.” 2 Corinthians 3:12 (ESV) says, “Since we have such a hope, we are very bold.” I decree Acts 28:31 that I will proclaim the kingdom of God and teach about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance. I decree Proverbs 28:1 that I am the righteous of God, and I am bold as a lion. Acts 4:29 (ESV) says, “And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness.” Lord, let the Holy Spirit fill me so I can continue to speak the word of God with boldness. Thank you, Lord, for answering this prayer in Jesus’s name. Amen.

in hope, to be patient in tribulation, and to be constant in prayer. Lord, bless me to be a watchman on the wall. Lord, your word says in First Peter 5:8 to be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Ephesians 6:18 (ESV) says, “Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.” Lord, bless me to put on love today and continue to pray for my brothers and sisters in Christ. Lord, I know you are here with me and will protect me through it all. Second Thessalonians 3:3 (ESV) says, “But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.” I will overcome this tribulation because Romans 8:37 (NJV)says “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” Second Samuel 8:6 says, “I have victory wherever I go.” First Timothy 6:12 (KJV) says, “Fight the good fight of faith,” so I refuse to give up. This is not my battle to fight but the Lord’s. Luke 10:19 (NIV) says, “That you have given me the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy, nothing will harm me.” I declare that I shall not fear because Jesus has overcome have the world. I will not grow

MEET PROPHET LARRY CORKINS PROPHET LARRY CORKIN’S IS GOD’S WRITER. HIS BOOKS TOUCH THE HEART OF MANY READERS. YOU CAN FIND ALL OF HIS BOOKS IN THE TOP BOOK STORES SUCH AS BARNES AND NOBLES.

I grew up not really knowing my mother. I knew who she was, but had not seen her since I was about five years old, so it was like I did not really know her. She would write to my brother and me, but I never got to see her or talk to her. My father was very abusive toward her when they were married, so she was in no hurry to see him again. Since he would never leave her alone, in today’s world he would be called a stalker and domestic abuser, she gave us up to him after a while just so she could be free from his abuse. I have gotten to know her in my grown life, and I love her very much. People don’t always do what you want, as we all do the best we can, and as a Christian, it is my job to forgive. Who better to forgive than your own mother? Life with my father was no picnic. He was very abusive to my stepmother and my brother and me. He was an alcoholic, and was even mean when he was

not drinking, which was very rare, as he drank every day. When he was drinking, he was even meaner. I grew up seeing him abuse and even try to kill my stepmother, shooting a gun at her. It was the same gun that he held to me and my brother’s heads, promising to kill us if she did not give him $200. She gave it to him, and I am still here. So is my brother. We stopped living with my father when I was 10 years old. He kept moving us around, so by the time we stopped living with him, we were living in Louisville, Kentucky. That is where I grew up. When I was about 11 or 12, my brother and I started going to a Baptist church, which had a bus that would come pick us up. I gave my life to Christ when I was 12. I was baptized a week or two after I was saved. It was not long after that I started to know some things that my Pastor was saying were not right. I did not know how I knew. I just knew.

I began to know that some Preachers are not right with what they tell you, but most do preach what God gives them. Most churches back then would tell you that you will go to hell if you drink one beer and smoke one cigarette, which is what my Pastor said. My Spirit told me right away that he was wrong. God is not sending you to hell for drinking a beer. Jesus said for you not to


do whatever they want to do and it is okay. However, they are only fooling themselves, because even though it is not our job to judge them, it is God’s job to judge them, and they are not safe from judgment from Him. They say that only God can judge them, thinking in their own minds that He really is not going to, I suppose. It is kind of like tempting your own fate. Watch out what you

ask for, because you just may get it. I had a long struggle to grow up as I lived in the neighborhood where the walk home was not safe at all. I got through it, and I am okay. All my life, I knew I was different, but I did not know why until about 12 years ago. God spoke to me and told me to write a book. It was a long process of learning from Jesus, as He would, and still does, talk to my heart. What I need to know, He gives me through the Holy Spirit. He told me that I am a Prophet, but I did not want to accept that at first. I have come to accept that I am what I am, but I still do not use the title of what God made me to be, as I believe the world doesn’t really care what you say you are, and God will let people who need to know who and what you are know that anyway. It is the work that you do that shows who and what you are. I have read the Old Testament and most of the New Testament, but it is what Jesus tells me that moves and motivates me. Jesus sent me here to tell the world that He is still in love with us, and wants a relationship with each of us. He also sent me here to tell people that He is coming soon, and that Satan has fooled you long enough. Politically correct is not God correct. The world says you have to accept things that

are not okay with God, and makes it hard to not go along with. This is a sign to you that Jesus is about to come again. Some things sound good, because Satan has used Jesus’ words to confuse people. Yes, Jesus loves everyone, but no, He does not love your sin. Satan has you believing otherwise. I came to give you the real feelings of Jesus. He gives me His Words and I write His books. All the titles are His, not mine. I can write nothing without His wisdom and guidance. He sent me to earth for this purpose, to be God’s writer. When He gives me the title of a book, and then the title of a chapter, I sit down and let the Holy Spirit guide me through it. The first book I wrote for the LORD came out on September 2012. The second one came out February 2013, then the next three came out one after the other, as all three came out in a four month period, being October 2013, November 2013 and January 2014. The titles of the books Jesus has written through me so far are: God’s Message For The Last Day: Book One, Jesus Wants You, God’s Message For The Last Day: Book Two, You’re Worth It, God’s Queens, God’s Message For The Last Day: Book Three, God Loves You, and God’s Message For The Last Day: Book Four, Need To Know.

be drunk when He comes back, because He cannot take you to Heaven drunk. And, you will certainly not go to hell for smoking a cigarette, even though a lot of people don’t like others smoking around them. It is a good thing that other people do not determine your fate.

at any major book seller’s website, such as Books-aMillion, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, etc.) I have a new book, but Jesus told me to get a literary agent for this book, so that it will be in stores and not just online. I am currently doing what I can to get a literary agent, and trust God to send one when the time is right for Him. This is the biggest and most amazing book yet, which explains why all of the agents I have contacted so far are afraid to sign me. Satan does not want this book to come out, but I know that God will prevail. If there is a literary agent reading this and is not afraid of being responsible for giving the world the most amazing book of our time, that is coming from Jesus, about Jesus, and written by Jesus, through me, then please send me a message to my facebook

Books are my Ministry, and speaking engagements will follow. Jesus is always giving me things to write, so I carry a lot of pens in my pocket, so I can write them down. My hobbies are like other men. I like to watch sports on the television, mainly basketball, football and NASCAR racing. I spend a lot of time with my kids, with two of them still at home, so that takes place of a lot of hobbies that I am not interested in anyway. Mainly, what I think about all the time is doing the work that God gave me to do. He sent me here for this purpose, so I will never be finished writing His Words as Jesus gives them to me. The main reason for these wonderful books from the LORD is to let people know that He is still here with us, and that He loves us most of all. Jesus said He would never leave us, and He hasn’t. He is just a prayer or conversation away. He loves when we talk to Him, as He wants to be the most important part of our lives. He knows that we truly need Him to get through each and every day that we live, as He sees and knows how hard this world is for us. When I was 23, my wife and I got married. It was not easy to find a Preacher to marry us, saying they did not believe

in mixed marriages. I am white and my wife is black. We have six beautiful biracial children who know they are loved and they are God’s. They are never confused about who they are. They know they are the best of both worlds, and that God sent them that way. God made all of us as equals, so I don’t know where they were getting their prejudices from, but it was not from God. We have six beautiful bi-racial children. And, yes, they do know who and what they are, as God made them to be the amazing people that they are. I did not plan my future, so it has been a struggle, but God is always there. I rededicated my life to Christ 12 years ago, and the truth about Jesus just came upon me. I know now that He made me to come to earth and give the world His Words for this last day in time. I am not just a Prophet, but I am the new Messenger, like John the Baptist. I also come before Jesus will. I do not claim this, but just acknowledge what Jesus has told me. I could only deny it for so long, and then I had to admit my purpose. I could lie to you and say that I am not the Messenger, but why would I do that? That is what Satan wants me to do, but I do not serve Satan. I serve God. The main purpose for my Ministry is to encourage


I spend a lot of time on writing the Words that Jesus gives me, as I can get a title and idea at any time from the LORD. The Prophecies I receive I write in the books Jesus gives me. There is information from Jesus that you will not get anywhere else. I have seen people who have read the books I write lift themselves up from the sorrows they were in, and learn to appreciate the life that God has given them. They have learned that they have a brighter future if they follow Jesus and what He says. So much of God’s love goes into every book I write for Him. Divine revelations and wisdom directs the words that go into each book, as they come to me from

Heaven’s King, Jesus. If I had to give any advice to someone starting a Ministry, I would and will say this: First you have to have the calling from Jesus, not yourself. Next, you have to be patient, as God moves in His time, which is slower than ours. ( He also works faster than we do in other ways, but the point is that it is in His time and not ours.) He will give you something to do today, but not give you all you need to do it for another ten years, as He did me. Also, you have to have a genuine love for others or you will not be a good servant of the LORD. Listen to the Holy Spirit inside of you, or you will fail. Get yourself out of the way, and don’t be afraid to do what God tells you to do. He will give you wisdom, usually coming from others for your sup-

port, and other people to help you with your mission. God never sends anyone out alone. Be aware when the right people come along, and do not be fooled by people who want to use you. Many people will come saying they are on your side, but then they will let you down. Jesus will never let you down. And, know this, if you have been sent by God, almost everyone you ever meet will be against you. There will be those who God sends to help, but be careful, as most do not come to help, but to hurt. As I said earlier, all five books that are in publication right now can be found online at all of the book sellers websites. Just type in my name on their search, and all the books will come up.

Ladies, stop letting people tell you that you are supposed to be a stripper on a pole for a man, or a ‘B’ or an ‘H’. You are neither of those things. Your worth to the world is less than a slave, but the LORD values you over all things He ever created. My other mission is to tell the world what Jesus wants you to know to be ready for His comeback tour. I have no events coming up, but I will have a new book coming out soon enough, and I am working on another book that Jesus gave me for women especially.

CONQUERING DEPRESSION WRITTEN BY VERONICA MONTGOMERY

pit of lifelessness. God has set eternity in our hearts (Ecclesiastes 3:11). As a result, we long for something eternally good. We long for something that will nourish our hearts and provide fertile ground for us to grow. When relationships are toxic, current situations seem never-ending and when we have no clue about what to do, hopelessness and defeat set in….been there many times.

Have you ever been depressed with suicidal thoughts? I have. One thing I can say for sure is that both conditions are REAL. Many times, it’s embarrassing to admit that you feel hopelessly stuck in a situation or relationship. At other times, you feel so drained of energy that you feel depleted of options and the desire to fight is nonexistent. Maybe you are afraid to seek help because you think that others will feel that you are weak. Perhaps you fear that something dear will be taken away like your children

or job. For various reasons you unwillingly remain in the pit of depression hoping to be rescued. But nobody comes. There’s no knight in shining armor and no loving hand to pull you out. You seem to be drowning and there’s no lifesaver. You are functioning, going through the motions, but none of it means anything anymore…right?….I know. Truth is, when you look deeper into your heart, you’ll find that you actually DON’T want to die. You’re just tired of NOT LIVING. Depression is a

Here’s what I’ve learned. Even when life gets the best of me and nobody seems to see, care or understand, there is a force greater than it all cheering for me, believing in me and loving me to a place of hope. Sometimes that place of hope takes a while to recognize because of the pain. But IF your desire to live begins to trump the restlessness of NOT living, you will have a chance at coming out of depression and stepping into a life of purpose. Here’s something you can do. Start looking for things that give you life RIGHT NOW. You know the things that you used to think that you could not live without? For me, nature gives me life. Music, warm baths, scented oils, cooking,

Do whatever you have to do in order to reconnect with life again. Step outside and feel the wind on your cheeks. Walk in the grass with your bare feet. Sit down at your favorite restaurant and really savor every taste. You CAN live again. You WILL live again. It is a known fact that depression may be negatively influenced by dysfunctional relationships. It is also known that depression can influence dysfunction in relationships. Consider this scenario. You feel depressed as a result of some situation or event. You want to be heard and comforted but your friend or spouse seems to ignore your need and pressure you to meet his/hers. You feel unable to meet the need because you feel overwhelmed, drained and tired of being strong. You want to collapse into the arms of love but those arms are not available. You begin

to feel increasingly overwhelmed, saddened and now you feel guilty for being so selfish. You push your feelings aside, put on your game face and you get about the business of taking care of others. Usually you feel satisfied and happy that you were able to help. Today, you feel resentful that you gave more than you wanted to and now you’re alone with an empty fuel tank.

My friend, self-care is a need. Jesus often retreated to the mountains to commune with The Father. I can only imagine how refreshed he felt. Consider how refreshed he needed to feel in order to stay true to his purpose. Imagine yourself feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Imagine cheerful giving. Imagine, feeling satisfied rather than drained at the end of the day. Sounds nice?

The above scenario is the case of many Christians who believe that caring for others is more important than self-care. I submit to you the opposite. Self-care is just as important as caring for others. God desires us to give out of the abundance of his grace and love. But, if you give grudgingly or unwillingly, the result is bitterness and we know that the bible cautions us about the dangers of “roots of bitterness”. Jesus endorsed the most important commandment of all: “Love the Lord your God with ALL of your heart……”.

You can have abundant life. It’s one of our gifts from Jesus Christ. Take care of yourself. If you need to vent, pray then call someone who will allow you to vent without judgment. If you need compassion, first, offer it to yourself. For example, you feel that you really blew it with the kids. You forgot a doctor’s appointment. You gave them McDonald’s for dinner and you didn’t feel like giving them a bath. You sent them to bed with just a wash off. Remember, you are human. You do not need to be perfect. You accomplished a lot today. Write a list of what you accomplished. Celebrate that you can try again tomorrow. When nobody else appreciates you, become masterful at appreciating yourself. I promise you’ll be happy that you did.

How can you love him with all of your heart when most of your heart consumed with bitterness, self-neglect and busyness? You are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, you are IMPORTANT to God. When you are healthy and full, you give health and fullness to others. When you give from an empty tank, you reap bitterness, loneliness and resentment. Are you still considering self-care as selfish?

Now, I know this isn’t a cure for depression but it sure is a great place to start. I want to see you win!

REJOICE ESSENTIAL MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 2015

reading, writing and friendships give me life. Once you write your list, begin each day with the commitment to engage in two things from this list. You know, the thing about depression is that it seems to zap enjoyment out of life. You MUST step into life again. Begin with things that make your heart smile. Try new things that invigorate you. Take a vacation if you can, or ask a friend for help if you are having trouble making your list.

IT’S ALL ABOUT GOD WRITTEN BY REYNALDO RODRIGUEZ Paul tell us that “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” (2 Corinthians 4: 4). A deceived person believes a lie and is thus blind to the truth. Satan doesn’t care how close you come to the tuth--as long as you miss it. This is why one of his favorite disguises is to appear as an angel of light or as a servant of righteousness, “For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It

is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.” (2 Corinthians 11: 13 - 15). When people think they are being very religious in what they believe or what they do, they assume that they must be right. “Just so you are sincere,” the enemy will say. “Religion is a very important thing. You have to discover what is true for you.” Even a hasty survey of the world indicates that he has been very successful at this. One can fond religious belief systems of all kinds, and the prevailing thought of contemporary culture is that

any one of them will get you to your desired goal. It is socially acceptable today to talk about spirituality, but it is not politically correct to believe that God has spoken authoritatively in the Scriptures and in the person of HIS SON. So it is still true that the whole unbelieving world “is under the control of the evil one” (1 John 5: 19), kept there with the simple device of a lie. Since my concern is about the spiritual warfare of the believer, we turn now to a consideration of the relationship between Satan and the believer. When a person comes to the cross and moves from Satan’s

camp into God’s camp, a lot of things change. Paul says that such a person becomes a new creation, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5: 17). One thing that doesn’t change is Satan’s tactic. He is still the liar and deceiver he has always been, speaking to the Pharisees of His time, Jesus shares some input, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” (John 8: 44), and in the Book of Revelations, “The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.” (Revelations 12: 9). We do not become immune to his deceit simply by becoming followers of Christ. In fact, we will discover

that he steps up his attacks considerably, because now we have the capacity to live to he glory of God, “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10: 31) “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2: 8 - 10), and we have the potential to help people move from Satan’s kingdom into God’s kingdom, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”(Matthew 28: 19 - 20) He is therefore more concerned with neutralizing the child of God than with harassing those who are already in his own king-

dom., “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.” But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.” (2 Corinthians 4: 4 - 10) The battle is for our minds. HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW THE MIND OF CHRIST?

THREE POWERFUL ENEMIES WRITTEN BY REYNALDO RODRIGUEZ

The world, the flesh, and the devil are three powerful enemies the Christian believer struggle with. Discussion of spiritual warfare sooner or later gets around to asking what the relationship is between the world, the flesh and the devil. Paul introduces all three elements into his definitive statement about this warfare. He says: “As for you, don’t you remember how you used to just exist? Corpses, dead in life, buried by transgressions, wandering the course of this perverse world. You were the offspring of the prince of the power of air—oh, how he owned you, just as he still controls those living in

disobedience. I’m not talking about the outsiders alone; we were all guilty of falling headlong for the persuasive passions of this world; we all have had our fill of indulging the flesh and mind, obeying impulses to follow perverse thoughts motivated by dark powers. As a result, our natural inclinations led us to be children of wrath, just like the rest of humankind.” (Ephesians 2: 1 – 3).

edge, and great power. This is the same power that was at work when God raised Jesus from the dead and seated Him in heaven. Ultimately Paul knows all powers have been subjected to Jesus, the God-man, and He is destined to be head over all creation. In the resurrection of Jesus, the ultimate redemption of the cosmos has begun, and the church is the first act of God’s glorious drama.

Often in his letters, Paul records his prayers for his churches. He is constantly talking with God about those he considers his spiritual children. He prays that God will grant them wisdom, knowl-

Notice the way Paul links the world, the flesh, and the devil together. He does not suggest that sometimes it is the world we are dealing with, sometimes is the flesh, and sometimes is the devil. Paul sees


The Greek word kosmos is used with two very different meanings. Satan is called the “prince” (NIV) or “ruler” (NASB) of this world (kosmos) by Jesus, “Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.” (John 12: 31), “I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;” (John 14: 30), “and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.” (John 16: 11), and we are commanded not to love this world, “Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” (1 John 2: 15). In a sense Satan created the world that is in view here—the world of fallen human culture—and he is the ruler of the world. This was not part of the world as it came from the creative hand

of God, however. God created the world of people and things, and He rules over that creation, “He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” (Colossians 1: 17). “And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,” (Hebrews 1: 3). The physical world reveals God’s glory, and we are not to reject this, It is part of what God has given us to enjoy, “Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.” (1 Timothy 6: 17), and the world of people created by God is a proper object of our love. God Himself “so loved the world [of people] that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but to have eternal life” (John 3: 16). Thus, the world of people and things as God created it is good. It is not our enemy. It is proper to enjoy God’s good creation.

them as working so closely together that you really can’t understand one without seeing the way it relates to the others. The biblical terms world (kosmos) and flesh (sarx) can have very different meanings. There is very little ambiguity About Satan’s identity in the Bible, but that cannot be said about the definitions of world and flesh.

WHAT IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE? WRITTEN BY REYNALDO RODRIGUEZ

If spiritual warfare is not just going around rebuking the devil and getting rid of demons, what is it? The primary battle is between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of God, between the spirit of the Antichrist who is already operating in this world and in the minds of the unbelievers, between the father of lies and the Spirit of truth; and we are in that battle whether we like it or not.“

one willing to die for an upright person, although it’s possible that someone may give up his life for one who is truly good. But think about this: while we were wasting our lives in sin, God revealed His powerful love to us in a tangible display— the Anointed One died for us.” (Romans 5: 6 – 8).

Because the evil god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers. As a result the light of the good news, the radiant glory of the Anointed—who is the very image of God—cannot shine down on them.” (2 Corinthians 4: 4), and the Holy Spirit whose main purpose is, “When He arrives, He will uncover the sins of the world, expose unbelief as sin, and allow all to see their sins in the light of righteousness for the first time.” (John 16: 8). (Prevenient Grace)

The primary location of that battle is our minds. Either we believe the lies that keep us in bondage or we believe the truth that sets us free. So, we define spiritual warfare as the battle for the mind. Our abilities to think, feel, and make decisions (our minds, emotions, and wills) are intricately linked together. They interact in many ways. Yet it is safe to say everything begins with the mind. Our thoughts about anything in life are what determine how we feel and how we act. It often appears that emotions are the determining factor, but emotions are only as valid as the truth on which they are based.

“When the time was right, the Anointed One died for all of us who were far from God, powerless, and weak. Now it is rare to find some-

They are very real and they may lead to significant action, but they all have their roots in what we think about the circumstances

of life, whether those thoughts be true or false. Every action is just a product of our thoughts. “For as he thinks within himself, so he is” (Proverbs 23: 7). The will can only act on what the minds knows. Wrong information, lack of knowledge, or a faulty belief system can lead to undesirable and even destructive actions. Satan knows this, and this explains why deception is his primary tactic. Peter exhort us: “So get yourselves ready, prepare your minds to act, control yourselves, and look forward in hope as you focus on the grace that comes when Jesus the Anointed returns and is completely revealed to you.” (1 Peter 1: 13). He wants us to understand that if we can win the battle of the mind, we can win the battle against Satan as the deceiver. The battle for the mind is much more that the struggle to have correct information, however. It is a matter of having a functional faith that is based on truth. It is possible to know intellectually but never apply it to your life. As an example, we all could have a vast


“The Eternal’s law is perfect, turning lives around. His words are reliable and true, instilling wisdom to open minds. The Eternal’s directions are correct, giving satisfaction to the heart. God’s commandments are clear, lending clarity to the eyes. The awe of the Eternal is clean, sustaining for all of eternity. The Eternal’s decisions are sound; they are right through and through. They are worth more than gold—even more than abundant, pure gold. They are sweeter to the tongue than honey or the drippings of the honeycomb. In addition to all that has been said, Your servant will find, hidden in Your

commandments, both a strong warning and a great reward for keeping them. Who could possibly know all that he has done wrong? Forgive my hidden and unknown faults. As I am Your servant, protect me from my bent toward pride, and keep sin from ruling my life. If You do this, I will be without blame, innocent of the great breach. May the words that come out of my mouth and the musings of my heart meet with Your gracious approval, O Eternal, my Rock, O Eternal, my Redeemer.” (Psalms 19: 7 – 14) There is a fundamental difference between the brain and the mind. The brain is an organism that the mind uses. To put it in computer terms, the brain is the hardware, and the mind is the software. One can have a perfectly functioning computer, but if the software

program has bugs in it, the results can be disastrous. In computer language, it is “garbage in, garbage out.” In the same way, the human brain can function only according to how it has been programmed. If we are not living responsible lives and bearing fruit, then we should take a good look at what we believe and how we think. Life comes down to the principle that if we believe right we will live right, but we need to understand that right belief is more than right knowledge.

knowledge of God’s Word, however if we are not putting into action, effort, and obedience the content of such eternal wisdom, all of that sublime knowledge loses its value.

WHAT IS PROPHECY? Prophesy is to speak forth, announced, or proclaim in secular Greek terms. In other words, prophecy is speaking, proclaiming, or announcing something under the influence of spiritual inspiration.1 Prophecy is edification, exhortation, and comfort. It is also foretelling. In 1 Corinthians 14:1-5, Apostle Paul explains that we should yearn for spiritual gifts, especially prophecy. He said to pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. In the Greek, the word “edification” or “oikodome” which is defined as confirmation or building. “Exhor-

tation” or paraklesis means “comfort, consolation, exhortation, entreaty, and comfort.” Paamuthia means “consolation.” Strongs Concordance defines the word, “Oracles,” as an utterance of God. All children of God can prophesy. The basic level of prophesying is quoting the scriptures to encourage other believers. To build a strong foundation in the prophetic, children of God need to study the word to show themselves approved. Just because you hear the voice of God, doesn’t make you a prophet. Not everyone is giving the gift of prophecy or called into the office of the prophet.

Individuals with the gifts of prophecy regularly experience revelation from the Lord. These revelations come in impressions, visions, dreams, words of knowledge, and other different forms.1 1 Corinthians 12:10-11 says, “To another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another, different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. It is wholly and fully irrevocable.” Individual with the gift of prophecy must be matured, developed, and


grown in their gift.1

Their words surpasses the basis level of prophecy. They often give words of rebuke, revelation, and guidance.1 There are many false prophets in the world. You will know a false prophet by their fruit. Matthew 7:1520 says, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” In other words, prophets lead you away from God. They lack the integrity and the character of Jesus Christ. Remember, false prophets can prophesy accurately but they are operating under a different spirit

Only a true prophet can speak into your life and has the anointing attached to bring a change in your current circumstances. Counterfeits can see what’s in your future, but lack the power to bring forth change. Just because a prophet misses it in prophecy doesn’t make them false. It might be that they are ignorant, immature, presumptuous, or have too much zeal. Remember, God is working through an imperfect vessel. People are tougher on prophets compared to teachers or pastors. They make mistakes all the time and no one calls them false. Prophecy is a wonderful gift when it is used correctly. I don’t believe that someone should have to pay for a prophetic word. That is on the lines of fortune telling. However, I don’t believe that someone should go before a prophet empty handed. Your prosperity is connected to a prophet. 2 Chronicles 20:20 says, “ So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.” There are so many hurting

people in the world and prophecy can help bring them healing. A prophet can bring you out of captivity. Sometimes in the dark seasons of life, a prophetic word is all you have to hold on to. You can reflect on the given prophecy and continue to believe in God. Eventually, the prophetic word will come to pass and God will get all the Honor, Glory, and the Praise. If you want to prophesy, ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you. Then step out in faith and speak what you hear and speak. Also take time daily to study the word because you want to make sure that what you are hearing is lining up with the word of God. Lastly, create an atmosphere of worship because it ushers in the presence of God or the prophetic anointing. 1. Reed, J. Who Me, Prophesy? Colorado Springs, CO: Xulon Press; 2004.

Individuals in the office of the prophet are mandated by God for the equipping the body of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-12 says, “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelist, and some pastors, and some teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” Those who occupy the office of the prophet have a heightened credibility which has been established over time.1 Their experience, knowledge, wisdom, and ability to hear the voice of the Father should be respected and heeded.1

other than the Holy Spirit. For instance, they could be under the influence of the spirit of divination or a familiar spirit. This is how many psychics and spiritists work. Be aware, even the devil can prophesy and he is a counterfeit. Perhaps they started off serving God but eventually backslid and gave up on their faith.

WOULDN’T YOU LIKE TO HAVE EVERYTHING THAT GOD HAS PROMISED YOU? NO MORE LACK BUT TO BE PROSPEROUS IN ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE? WOULDN’T YOU LIKE GOD’S BLESSINGS TO OVERTAKE YOU? READ A COUPLE OF CHAPTERS FROM PROPHETESS KIMBERLY HARGRAVES’ NEW BOOK.

Do you want more of the presence of God in your life? It starts with obedience. God wants to see if you will follow His word and obey it when the temptation comes. Will you pass the obedience test? Temptation is something that is pleasing to your flesh. For instance, if you are attracted to someone of the opposite sex and an opportunity for intimacy arises. Will you deny your flesh, remain pure, and follow the word of God? Or will you give into fornication or adultery and sin against God?

John 14:21 says, “Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” If you pass the obedience test, it proves your love for God and it shows your desire to please God over people. God promises in His word to manifest Himself to you, if you love Him. He will make Himself real to you in some way. Whether in a dream, vision, or just having encounters with His manifest presence. Once you pass the obedience test, God can trust

you. He can now bless you in many ways. Dear Heavenly Father, I exalt your name! You are worthy of all the Honor, Glory, and the praise! I repent for the times I was disobedient to your word. I am sorry for sinning against you! Have mercy upon me. I want more of you and less of me! I decree and declare that I will keep your commandments. I decree that I will pass the obedience test. I desire more of your presence in my life God. Thank you, in advance for taking me to the next level in you Lord. I seal this prayer in the blood of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Are you worried about how things will come together for you? Maybe things just seem so gloomy and you see no light. If you have been faithful to God, hang in there because your suddenly is near. Don’t get distracted by the cares of this world but continue to hold on to the hem of Jesus’s garment. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that for those

who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Just remain obedient during the dark times and believe that God will bless you in His timing. Just surrender everything to God and rest in Him. No matter how bad the situation seems, God will bring the good out of it. God will get the Glory out of your pain. God will give you beauty for ashes. Continue to trust God during this process and believe Him. Hold on to the word that God has spoken over your life and watch God show up for you. Dear Heavenly Father, You are worthy of all the Honor, the Glory, and the praise. Lord, I don’t understand how everything will work out for me. Lord, I know that somehow things will come together for me. Lord, I love you and I thank you in advance for my turnaround. I decree and declare that you will get the glory from all my pain. I decree that my mourning will be turned into dancing. Thank you for giving me beauty for ashes. I decree that it’s already done. In Jesus name Amen.

I will have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; I know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness (2 Timothy 2:23-25). I will remind myself of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers (2 Timothy 2:14). I will avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness (2 Timothy 2:16). Lord, keep my passions from being at war within me (James 4:1). Lord, I have desires but do not have so I refuse to murder (James 4:2). Lord, sometimes I covet and cannot obtain so I refuse to fight and quarrel (James 4:2). I destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife (Proverbs 21:9).

I will not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of my mind, that by testing I may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect (Romans 12:2). A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger (Proverbs 15:1). I will not be puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. I will not have an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions (1 Timothy 6:4). When I see the speck that is in my brother’s eye, I will notice the log that is in my own eye (Matthew 7:3). I will be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger (James 1:19). I will avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless (Titus 3:9). I will let the word of Christ dwell in me richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in my heart to God (Colossians 3:16). I will welcome the one who is weak in faith, but will not quarrel over opinions (Romans 14:1). I will present my body as a living

sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is my spiritual worship (Romans 12:1). I will do all things without grumbling or questioning, that I may be blameless and innocent, a child of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom I shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain (Philippians 2:14-16). I will cast all my anxieties on you Lord because you care for me (1 Peter 5:7). I decree that I will not give what’s holy to dogs and not give my pearls to the swine (Matthew 7:6). I decree that I will live peaceable with all men. I will turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it (Psalm 34:14). I will walk in love and put on Jesus Christ, not making provision for the flesh to fulfil the lust thereof (Romans 13:14). Lord, lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil (Matthew 6:13). I will be sober-minded, being watchful because my adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). No temptation has overtaken me that is not common to man. God is faithful and he will not let me be tempted beyond my ability, but with temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that I may be able to endure it (1 Corinthians 10:13). I will deny myself, take up my cross, and follow after Jesus Christ (Luke 9:23).

Jesus was crucificed on the cross just for you! He suffered so much for your healing, your sorrows, and your sins. He went around doing every good work, healing people and casting out demons. He took thirty nine lashes. He wore a crown of thorns. He was spat on beaten, and falsely accused. Will you let him in your heart today? Will you pray this short prayer? Your life will never be the same. Lord, I believe that you died on the cross for my sins.

Lord, I desire to have a relationship with you. Lord, I confess any sins of___________. I repent Lord. Wash me in your blood in Jesus name Amen.

UNDERSTANDING THE DISEASE AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

Diverticulosis is the abnormal presence of out pockets or pouches on the surface of the small intestines or colon1. These abnormal pockets form because of low fiber diets, constipations, and long term increased colonic pressure1. Subsequently, the increased colonic pressure results when fecal matter becomes trapped together with constipation and causes diverticula or small pouches on the colon1. The etiologic factors that contribute to diverticulosis are obesity, decrease physical activity, steroids, alcohol and caffeine intake, and cigarette smoking1. Diverticulitis is a complication of diverticulosis. This

is an acute inflammation of the diverticula from food such as corn or bacteria collecting inside of these paches1. Other complications include bleeding, abscess, obstruction, fistula, or perforation1. Fiberall, Benefiber, Metamucil are bulking agents laxatives that form soluble fiber gels in the colons, retains water, and increases peristalsis1. These products will relieve constipation and reduce the colonic pressure in her colon and help regulate bowel movements. 1 Corinthians 3:16, Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? This scripture implies that

God has only given us one body in this life time and we have to take care of it. God has giving us strength by his spirit to make the best decisions when it comes to our health. We should treat are physical bodies as holy and take care of it by proper exercise and nutrition. References 1. Nelms MN. Nutrition Therapy and Pathophysiology for the Public Health Nutritionist.

Hope. WORD OF WISDOM: To see the miraculous in your life, you need to recognize who you are in Jesus Christ, have the right mindset, and exercise your faith. Your faith is a force to be reckon with and will move the hand of God in your situation. Make your daily confessions, it will surely come to pass. Genesis 18:14 says, “Is any thing too hard for the Lord?” Your blessing is on the horizon. Keep pressing forward!! Are you feeling weary? Are you discouraged because of difficulties you’re going through? Don’t give up hope. Put your hope in God. Remember his promises and keep trusting them. God will refresh your strength, enabling you to soar like an eagle. Bible Verse: Those who hope in the Lord will renew their

strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. – Isaiah 40:31 Words to Treasure: [God] gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. – Isaiah 40:29 WORD OF WISDOM: God says He is looking at your attitude during the storm. Are you going to keep the right attitude when things don’t go your way? Or are you going to throw a hissy fit? We are commanded to be of good cheer because in the end we know we have the victory in Jesus Christ. Like God always tells me, “If you trust me, then why cry and be worried.” Pass the attitude test. God is watching your response. John 16:33 says, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation,

but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world.” WORD OF WISDOM: You might not understand how God will bring things together for you, but just surrender all the doubt, worry, and fear and say “ I trust you Lord”. Continue to think on the great things that God has done for you in the past. God takes care of His children. You are coming into a new season. Everything you’ve been praying for is about to manifest!! Thank God In Advance. WORD OF WISDOM: Rest. The things you are worried about, let it go. Trust God. Don’t lose sleep over something you have no control over. God never sleeps. While you are sleeping, God is working on your behalf. Psalm 121:3 says, “He will not let your foot be moved;he who keeps you will not slumber.”

TESTIMONIES WHEN WE SHARE OUR TESTIMONIES, OUR FAITH INCREASES! WE START TO BELIEVE GOD FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE! WE CAN SEE THE POWER AND THE HAND OF GOD IN ANY SITUATION. GOD CAN TURN ANY TEST INTO A TESTIMONY! WE KNOW IF GOD DID IT BEFORE, HE CAN DO IT AGAIN. OUR TESTIMONIES GLORIFY GOD!

A few weeks ago, I was at home taking a shower. When I got out the shower, I slipped and fell. Immediately, pain shot throughout my body and I couldn’t get up. My husband was at home at the time and he helped me up and took me to the hospital. I was admitted to the hospital and they set me up to receive outpatient rehab. Well, with the rehab services, I was slowly getting better but I was still in a lot of pain. I couldn’t walk by myself and could only take small steps. One Saturday morning, I called Prophetess Kimberly Hargraves’ prayer line. When she prayed for me, the power of God came through my body and God healed me. I was able to get out the bed, take giant steps, and pick my legs up and down. The best part of all is that I have no more pain. I thank God for His healing power. ~Cynthia A few months ago, I received surgery. I had a deep incision from the middle of my breast to the bottom of my pelvic region. My stitches were irritated and I had a lot of pain in that area of my incision. When I asked for prayer, Prophetess Kimberly Hargraves asked if I was in pain because she said she felt my pain on her body. After she prayed for me, the fire of God came through my body and

removed all the pain and irritation from my incision site. I am able to sleep much better at night. This was my first time feeling the presence of God like this. It was a wonderful experience. ~Donna Last weekend, I was just drained from going through the trials in life. My body had become physically ill from the fiery trial. All in one week, I broke out in hives, had severe heart pains, vomiting daily, and bad headaches. I was dealing with family issues and not feeling good enough. I called the prayer line Saturday morning and asked Prophetess Kimberly Hargraves for prayer. I never told her anything, but the Holy Spirit knew. He led her how to pray for me. As she was praying, I felt the Holy Spirit breaking things off of me. I felt things moving through my body and I was trembling in His presence. After the prayer, I was liberated and felt so much better. Peace overwhelmed me. God truly knows all and sees all. It amazes me how He continues to perfect the things that concern me. Shamecca, NY I had been sick in my body for days. I had night sweats and a swollen throat that wouldn’t go anywhere no matter how much I prayed and rebuked it. I cried out to God and

asked Him, “Why am I suffering like this?” I was so desperate for healing but I couldn’t go to the doctor due to not having medical insurance. I had no other choice but to depend on God. I called the prayer line Saturday morning and ask Prophetess Kimberly Hargraves prayed for me, God showed her that my prayers were hitting the ceiling because I haven’t tithed in a long time. I tried to explain why I was unable to pay tithes, but the spirit of the Lord ministered to me. I understood then that I could tithe and I was going to obey the word of the Lord. As soon as I made up my mind to sow a seed, the power of God hit my body. The swelling in my throat disappeared and the pain was gone. Then one minute later, I began to vomit. I had vomited up the spirits that were attacking my body. That has never happened before. I am delivered. I am set free. God heard my prayers. Since I obeyed Him, He moved on my behalf. ~Mae, FL I hadn’t sleep well in weeks. I was running on fumes. It didn’t matter how much I tried to rest, I was just so restless. I called the prayer line Saturday morning and Prophetess Kimberly Hargraves called out the spirit of insomnia. Instantly, I felt

something break off me. Then I felt lighter and I felt a refreshing. I am now sleeping well at night. I thank God for giving Prophetess a word of knowledge about me. His presence and the anointing felt so good. Michelle I had some unforgiveness issues towards my father. I had been angry with Him for years for not being there in my childhood. Our relationship is on rocky foundation. I recently got saved but so desperately want my father to be saved since he is up in age. I have found it difficult to forgive my dad at times. I cried and prayed over this issue several times. When I called into the prayer line Saturday morning, Prophetess Kimberly Hargraves called out childhood abandonment. Immediately, I felt something shoot through my body. It was a tingling sensation that went through my heart, arms and legs. I knew that at

that moment, God was touching me and healing my hard heart. Since that morning, my heart has been soft and tender towards my father. I believed that God delivered me for unforgiveness. I know that one day, my Father will be saved and know Jesus personally as his Lord and Savior. Stanley Over the last couple of years, I went through the worst trial. My marriage of twenty years fell apart and ended in divorce. My husband left me for another woman. The house that we shared is now on the market and I have nowhere to go. I had been heartbroken because there are so many memories in that house. To make matters worse, my oldest son had gotten diagnosed with bone cancer. I had lost all hope. I didn’t understand why all this bad stuff was happening to our family. My son was no longer able to play hockey. He loves hockey. God told me to call

Prophetess Kimberly Hargraves so I obeyed. I told my son that you have to get on this call and have Prophetess Kimberly pray for you. My son agreed. We went inside the car for a few minutes to place the call before we went inside the doctor’s office for his bone scan. When she prayed for him, he felt hot all over and felt heat on his knee. After prayer, we went back inside the doctor’s office to get the bone scan. After several days, the doctor called us into the office. He was scratching his head because he said he had misdiagnosed my son. He said he wasn’t sure that it was cancer looking at the bone scans. I am so thankful that God healed my son. Now my son can go to college and continue to play hockey. My ex-husband was in shocked because God healed my son of cancer. ~Leila, GA
