Today's word is Sensuality. One of the KJV dictionary definition for the word sensuality is: In theology, carnal; pertaining to the flesh or body, in opposition to the spirit; not spiritual or holy; evil When we exalt our own selves we are moving in a spirit of sensuality. This can happen from 2 different causes. 1. Low self-esteem - can make you want to hide or it can make you want to grab attention. 2. A sense of self-worth - wanting to lift yourself above others. Whichever the reason is, it is wrong in the eyes of the Lord. But this is not to condemn. It is never our place to condemn. Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. Usually this has happened from the person trying to cover up hurts of the past. The have agreed with the lies of the enemy and this is the manifestation of their reaction to those lies. So how can we help our Christian brothers and sisters that have fallen into this sin? Sometimes the only method of deliverance that work is PRAYER. We must pray for those that are consumed by fire. It may be their only hope. Jude 1:22-23 Amplified Bible 22 And refute [so as to] convict some who dispute with you, and on some have mercy who waver and doubt. 23 [Strive to] save others, snatching [them] out of [the] fire; on others take pity [but] with fear, loathing even the garment spotted by the flesh and polluted by their sensuality. So if you have a brother or sister in Christ that is consumed in this sin, it's time to take your mouth off of them and begin to pray for them earnestly. Pray for every lie the enemy has told them to be revealed to them. Pray that they seek the strength of God in their weakness. Pray that they are delivered from the spirit of pride. Pray for God to heal the hurt in their heart. Pray for their deliverance from sensuality. Pray that they feel the true love of God as it covers their pain. Pray against every foul word spoken against them (your words included). Pray that God grants them a heart to repent. Pray for their wholeness through Christ. And pray that God will grant you grace and a compassionate heart to love them regardless. Please do not take this call to prayer lightly. Their lives are depending on your obedience to this word. Be blessed. Evangelist Cheryl Davies

The Destination Is. 43:1, “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.” As we do belong to the Father, we have inherited His greatness. But the enemy doesn’t want you to believe that so he will try his best to belittle you and make you feel like nothing. He wants to keep you from your destination. Don’t you believe his lies for 1 second and this isn’t even up for debate. Yes, God allows him to test you from time to time, but that’s only because you have a destination that you must reach. This destination is like nowhere you have ever been because it has been chosen by God just for you. The only way to reach it is through strenuous training and obtaining much knowledge and sometimes, experience is the only way to gain the knowledge you will need. Sometimes you seem to be caught in a cycle. The same thing keeps happening to you over and over again and you think God has left you. He hasn’t. You just haven’t gotten it right yet. Pay close attention to the season and next time, you’ll be ready, and you’ll win. You sometimes want to say, “But Father, I’m so tired.” But push. Push. You can’t stop mid-labor. To do so is to die and to allow what you are carrying inside of you to die to. PUSH! Do you hear me! I'm screaming it at the top of my lungs! PUSH! God has called you by name and already declared your future, so whatever it takes… you have got to get there! And we are standing on the sideline cheering you on the whole way. And if you need a shoulder for just a sec, take mines. But get back in there and fight until you get to your special place that God has set up just for you. And one more thing, You will know when you have reached it! Be blessed. C. D. Tonight I am thanking God for a changed mind and a changed heart. Because of all the things that happened to me when I was a young adult, I use to declare that no one would ever take anything away from anymore. Now I give all I got freely. Anything I have, if you need it, it's yours. You see I gave up possession for freedom. That surrender freed me from the emotional strategy of the enemy. I now lift the other cheek and I do it freely with no grudges or hatred. It was a hard lesson to learn, but when you truly love God, then you want to love others just as hard. You're not selfish, but instead you are giving. Giving of everything that you formerly claimed possession of because I realized that I did not possess those things but they instead possessed me. Without God, I would have never seen this reality. Possession will lead you into BONDAGE. So if you really want to be free, my big Brother told us exactly how to do it. Mark 8:34 tells us that, "Jesus called [to Him] the throng with His disciples and said to them, If anyone intends to come after Me, let him deny himself [forget, ignore, disown, and lose sight of himself and his own interests] and take up his cross, and [joining Me as a disciple and siding with My party] follow with Me [continually, cleaving steadfastly to Me]." I've given everything I own to the Lord and it keeps me from claiming possession of anything. God has more than I will ever need so I never worry about a lack. All my needs are met. I pray you will take a walk with my Brother and I, boost your faith, kill your doubt, have a change heart, and diminish your fleshly desires by releasing everything that you have claimed as yours to God for His use not only in words, but in deed. That is the true test. Be blessed! Evangelist Cheryl Davies I'm going to be very open and share something today that I have not shared with many. Not even my family knows the full extent of what has been going on in my life. So today is MY day of testimony! 4 years ago I received a diagnose of bone degeneration and severe arthritis. I was raised playing sports and played them until I was in my late 40's. That's when I started having problems. After seeking medical advice and a MRI, I received a phone call later that night telling me that I needed to go to the emergency room immediately. I was concerned, but not worried because I knew about the power of my God. When I got there all these doctors kept coming into the room and asking me to do strength tests. One group would leave and then another would come asking me to do the same things. This went on for a couple of hours before I had finally had enough and asked them what was going on. Well it turned out that from looking at my MRI, what they saw said I was supposed to be paralyzed. What they were witnessing was strength and I remember all the doctors commenting on how strong I was. I was not paralyzed, in fact, I was walking, grabbing, lifting and doing pretty much whatever I needed or wanted to do. Spent a night of observation which was pretty much the same routine all night, since I guess I was a walking miracle to them. Prior to this I was running a food program, serving my community and playing tennis, just all around active. Did I have pain? Yes! But I refused to look at my pain and kept my vision on the horizon to the place where I was healed. So here I am 2 surgeries and 5 years later and I have to be honest, it hasn't been easy. I have many days of pain. Days when I shouldn't even want to wake up because I know what it will entail. But I wake up sometimes with a shout of praise! I look forward to the morning because I know that one day I will wake up free from all pain. And so I press on giving glory to God throughout the whole day. Do you know why? After the 1st surgery I was unable to walk for 5 days. Then I was able to walk with a walker and with a lot of pain. 2 months after the 2nd surgery I was no better and my doctor had the nerve to tell me that I would never get any better. That this was now my life. What he didn't know was that I had heard my God say that He was going to heal me. And so I felt no fear when I told him that I didn't believe or receive what he was saying. Today I am walker-free. I can even run on a good day. An although some days are still painful, I arise with a smile on my face ready to do the will of my Father. Anyone that meets me would never see the trial that I was going through because that is not what life is all about. All through our lives there will be trials, but life is really about the push. Are you going to give up or are you going to push to get to that next level? I may not be healed yet, but guess what? I can really see it! Yes I really can! And I am living in it every time I head out my door. Because I can see my healing, others cannot see my infirmities. Because I see it, they have to see too! I can say yes, I understand walking by faith and not by sight, because faith has the power to not only change your sight but to change the sight of everyone around you and everyone that you come into contact with. Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (NKJ) And this is what I say and this my testimony. I have become the evidence! Witness today what God, the Father, the Omnipotent, the Beginning and the End, can do through faith! Hallelujah! God is good!!!!! Be blessed! Evangelist Cheryl Davies |
