Your distractions are delaying you.
Hmmm! What has your undivided attention? Is it what you see that has you running behind or is it what you heard?Is your mouth delaying you? Now it is more important than ever that we are Spirit Walkers because this world is built on nothing but deceptions meant to hold you back. Only in the Spirit can the truth be found! Did you know that the Bible says that it's rebellious to not see or hear what is being shown in the spirit? Two scriptures we need to meditate on today: Ezekiel 12:2 Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house. John 14:17 says, "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you." So let's shut down that rebellious spirit with the truth today! Can you see what I see? Successful progress is only found in the spirit of truth and everything of this world will eventually turn to dust, while the kingdom if God and all it's truths will last forever. So begin to guard your eyes, ears and mouth. Don’t allow them to delay you further. Be a Spirit Walker from this day forth. Your destination is just around the corner but only if your searching in the right places and in the right mindset. Spirit Led Be the blessing!

Today I heard God speak the word “Legacy” to me. So I started thinking what legacy means to me. A legacy is something handed down to you from someone that is no longer here, but our legacy was given to us from Jesus while He is yet alive! To me that make it far more valuable because He withheld nothing from us waiting until He were no more. Of course He will never die but He said, “Here! Take some royalty. Take my gifts. Take my love.” And the most import gift, “Take my body, take my blood.” Jesus’ legacy to us was His everything. He gave it all to us. So I got to thinking, “What legacy can I leave my children?” Not a thing because as Jesus dispensed His legacy to us while He was yet still living on this earth, I chose to dispense my legacy to my children now also. Every gift that my Father and Brother gave to me I give to my bloodline now. The gift to “call those things that be not as though they were”. I give them the gift to “lay hands on the sick and they do recover”. I give them the legacy of casting out demons and commanding their situations. And more importantly I give them the gift of my love. The same love that God has shown to me is the same love I need to show to them. Not later, but right now because some legacies can only be given while you are here. And if I am to give this legacy of love then I too must do as Jesus. Offer them my body and my blood. Give them all of me. So let’s face the facts. That is easier said than done, but it is an obtainable goal. No one can make your blood boil like your children. At least 80% of your anger in life will come from them. They will test you to your limit and then some. And when this happens we tend to respond in the flesh. The time for Christians responding to their children in the flesh needs to stop. The Bible says in Romans 8:14, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”, and we tend to think that we need to be Spirit led when dealing with people and things of this world. Don’t our children deserve this even more? They go through so much because they see us treating others different from how we treat them which then continued a cycle of the same thing in them passed to us through our parents whom most never understood what it really meant to be Spirit led. I’ve watched my daughter make some of the same mistakes that I’ve made and I know in my heart that this wasn’t supposed to happen. It only happened because of me not giving to my children what I have freely given to others. Me not raising them through the Spirit. So today I make a commitment to hand my legacy to my children now. I give them my body and my blood and I give them my precious love. I will be led in the Spirit as I show this love to them and I know that through this love their lives will be very different from the life I’ve led. No more feeling like they are bound to repeat my mistakes. No. Things will be better for them and I pray they will be better for your children also. God bless you and your family, Evangelist Cheryl Owolabi (www.fearnotministries.com) #Legacy #SpiritLed #FearNotMinistries During our time on this earth we cannot live it perfectly. That’s the plain and simple truth. We are human and we will make many errors in and with our lives, some small and some big. You need to know that nothing is too big to fix. We may not be able to change the mistakes we made but we can always change the outcome. It all depends on where you reside in the spirit and the grace that you carry inside you. There’s a scripture that says our strength comes from the Lord. Well so does our grace. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” But grace doesn’t come without maturity. This maturity is not a worldly maturity but it’s a spiritual maturity. A maturity that says, “I know I am responsible for my own mistakes and I’m ready to work on creating a different outcome.” It keeps you from beating yourself down but instead is a pickup and a carry on attitude. Spiritual maturity is being able to learn from our mistakes. To learn and to grow not being stuck in the golly gee and whoa be me. “Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” This is not just infirmity of sickness. It’s a lack of power and a moral weakness of the flesh. It’s this weakness that is the means of our mistakes and one thing is certain and that is that we will never stop making mistakes. Don’t let your mistakes become a knife that severs your relationship with God. It’s not meant to separate you, but if you begin to embrace them and handle your errors in life with grace you will actually begin to strengthen your relationship with God. Be blessed! Evangelist Cheryl Davies-Owolabi (www.fearnotministries.com) #sufficientgrace #createfrommistakes #FearNotMinistries I am a firm believer that when we speak of the things of God it should not just minister but change a person's life, but at some point in your walk you can end up in a sort of dead zone. You love the Lord but it will seem like everything has stopped moving and when I say everything, I mean everything. This can include but is not limited to your passion for the Word and your passion to serve Christ with all of your being. Now why does this happen? Why do we sometimes feel like we are in a dry place and begin to cry out to God for direction? We'll ask every believer we know to pray for us to find direction when God has already given it. You see this is the thing. We need those dead zones to grow. If God was always pushing us we would never mature enough to stand on our own two feet in pure faith. You've heard me say this repeatedly, "we must continue to move from faith to faith" and your faith will never increase if you're always seeing the move of God. Yes, it would be wonderful if our whole life was a constant 'move of God', yet the reality is our human-ness keeps us from reaching that place. But we can get very close if we continue to believe, keep moving forward and not allow anything to be taken from us in those dry lands. You see those dry places are testing grounds. This is the place where you show that your faith isn't just a word but an action. This is the place where you hold on to every passion you had for God and His Son, Jesus! This is where you show yourself and others that you really do believe that everything God spoke to you is true! Unfortunately we often fail at this and that's when we begin to have that feeling of being stuck and feeling that we've lost some of our passion for Christ. I've heard many people say that you'll never feel the way you did when you first gave your life to Christ and that is so untrue! What Jesus gave us then He continues to pour out to us. He never stopped nor has He slowed down in His outpouring. The problem is that we have allowed ourselves to become distracted by this world which has caused some kinks to be in our line of connection. So what we need to do is untwist, untangle and get those kinks out of the cord. Your passion is still there lying dormant and waiting for total connection. So make sure you take some time out each day to make sure you're getting a good connection. What things have you seen, heard, said or done that could cause a kink in the line? The sooner you straighten it out the sooner all those things, all the blessings, all the feelings of joy and triumph will return. Meditate on these scripture and steps to help you reach the place of discernment so the untangling can begin: Genesis 25:22-23,"And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the Lord. 23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger." Ask God first! He'll give you the answer! Acts 17:11,"These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so." Search the Scriptures! It's filled with the Word of Truth! Acts 17:27,"so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;" You have got to grab hold of the Lord!! Grab hold and never let go! So let's fire up our passion for Jesus and keep that fire burning strong! Be blessed! Evangelist Cheryl Owolabi (www.fearnotministries.com) #Today is the day that we break all soul ties that were not called to be by God. Together we can walk free and delivered from past soul ties from this day forth.
Ezekiel 13:20 - Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. Are you ready to be free from all those past relationships connections? The world will tell you that you need closure, but there is a closure that comes from above that is like no other freedom on this earth. If you are still looking back on those lost/past loves with tears, regrets, anger or even future expectations it's really time to let it go and when I said, "Let it go" I'm not just saying forget it and here's why. It will take more than to just forget to truly be free from bad soul ties because when you forget things they are still with you, being carried inside of you even though they are not present in your thoughts at this time. They are still there because they are tied to you. Now like anything else there is a good side and a bad side, so we have the good soul ties and the bad soul ties. Examples of good soul ties are, spouses, family and some friends (and lets face it, not all friends are supposed to be in our lives.) Bad soul ties can be those friends that were never meant to be your friend because everytime you are together something seems to go wrong, and pass relationships such as ex-spouses, lovers, or unquenched desires. And yes, I did say lovers. We don't have time for a holier than thou spirit right now. We dwell in the truth pertaining not only to God but to self. The majority of Christians were not always on the right path, myself included, so we made the mistake of building ties to people we had no business tying ourselves to. Mostly from ignorance and some even just rebellion. Soul ties were meant to bind a husband and wife into one and only through marriage, however when we take biblical principles and pollute them with the world there are always dire consequences and these consequences come from creating the wrong kind of soul ties. Now some believe souls ties are only created through sex but that is so not true. Let's look at David and Jonathan. They became so close they were as brothers. So genuine was their love for each other. (I have to say this because there is a polluted doctrine that is lying and saying that they shared a homosexual relationship. In truth, they were not gay, but they became as brothers. We are meant to build relationship with others that are not built on sexuality. Our relationships with our brothers and sisters in Christ are to be built on love.) 1 Samuel 18:1 - And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. "The soul of Jonathan was knit together with the soul of David." As one brother loves another. Now this is a healthy soul tie. This is what we should be cultivating between our brothers and sisters in Christ as well as the soul tie between a husband and a wife. Mark 10:6-8 says - But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. In this verse to cleave doesn't mean to severe as you would think. The Bible Dictionary states to cleave means: dabhaq; kollao (Hebrew/Greek), "to adhere to," or "to join one's self to." To join one's self to and shall become one flesh. These two things are tied together and manifests a beautiful soul ties when used correctly. This soul tie is meant to last forever! Now I've shown examples of the soul ties that are healthy for you so let's dwell in the unhealthy soul ties. The ones that we need to renounce and break the bondage of. Past relationships. Okay time for real talk. We really need to be serious about this. Forbidden soul ties are doorways to sin. In this day and age everyone seems to want to go for a test drive in relationships. Let's face the facts. In 2017 50% of marriages ended in divorce. Now here's another fact for you to ponder. For those intimacy problems, that was not the sole reason for the divorce. To say you want to make sure you are compatible sexually just doesn't cut it. In fact the top three reasons for divorce are listed as follow: 1. Money problems 2. Affairs 3. Interfering Ex Partners!!! Both number 2 and 3 has to do with soul ties since most affairs are with people from past relationships. I'm going to go to The Message for this scripture because it says it so well. 1 Corinthians 6:16-20 (MSG)"There’s more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, “The two become one.” Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever—the kind of sex that can never “become one.” There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for “becoming one” with another. Or didn’t you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don’t you see that you can’t live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body." These ties don't just sever themselves once a relationship is over. Not even if it's mutual. You always find yourself revisiting the relationship, wondering what you both could have done to make it last. Or even comparing your spouse to your ex. Or even worse hating the person. Bad soul ties. Whether it's sexual or your heart, these soul ties must be broken in order for a Godly relationship to exist and flourish. So how do we break the bondage of these bad soul ties? I really wish I could tell you to renounce them and be done with it, but it takes a little more work than that. Remember faith without works is dead. Yes, renounce them! Call them out by name and renounce them, but know that it's called a tie for a reason. This tie was not meant to be broken because we were only supposed to create this tie with our spouses. Yet we created these soul ties with others so it's going to take us putting what we say into action. We don't allow ourselves to even think about those relationships. When the thoughts enter we immediately shut them down, we immediately rebuke them because we sometimes have to train our whole self to do things differently than what we have been doing. No more business as usual. You have to really want to break these soul ties. The look of freedom is one of the most beautiful things in this world and when you are free from the bad soul ties you'll be surprised at how everyone will look at you differently, but it'll be our secret why your light has gotten so much brighter and once you're free, never go back. Remember, for the ladies ' YOU ARE MORE PRECIOUS THAT GEMS,' and for the men 'SEEK ONLY AFTER THE JEWEL' and 'DON'T TRY TO TURN SAND INTO A GEM'. God has already set who the one is, however just like He is preparing you, He is also preparing him/her. While patience is indeed a virtue, it can ultimately save your life. Be blessed! Evangelist Cheryl Owolabi (www.fearnotministries.com) #SoulTies #YourBodyIsTheTempleOfGod #FearNotMinistres #BeFreeIndeed #BondageFree What I need to teach you today is very hard for me. It’s hard because I know how hard it was for me to pull myself away from this and I know that for you to do the same it will take Holy Spirit changing your heart and changing your mind. And we all know change is never easy. So please bear with us, Holy Spirit and I, as we introduce you to the will of God.
You see it is not God’s will that any man shall perish, in fact, God desires for us to have an everlasting life. We are to live forever, but there are stipulations to this gift of life. It’s not enough to just be a good person, but we have to live our lives as Christ lived His life here on earth. Jesus was a tradition breaker and because of that the Jews despised Him. They had been living with their traditions and rituals since before Moses laid out the laws of God and as I said earlier it’s hard to change from what has always been the routine. BUT JESUS, Jesus came on the scene and changed the routine. He took those laws that were being held over the Jews head as power by the leaders and placed them into man’s heart. He gave us ownership to the law so that it would no longer be a bondage for man but would become a desire for man. And throughout the history of the Bible God spoke of the traditions and rituals of those that did not belong to Him. Those that worshipped false gods. We know that throughout the Bible, since the children of Adam, there have always been worshipers of demonic gods. Gods that demanded a sacrifice of lives of our daughters and sons. So just like goodness has always been on the earth so also has evil. Without evil you would not be able to see the good, but here’s the thing. There is no in-between. There is no in-between. You are either of good, or you are of evil and it’s not what you say that determines which side you are on. It’s what you do. How you live your life. I really need you to get this today guys because I’m bringing you a make you or break you offer from Holy Spirit. 1st let me explain the difference between world and God’s people. The world has no standards or morals because they are constantly changing according to the latest fad. If everyone likes it, then it’s ok. There is no such thing as modesty, humbleness, or sacrifice. The world is about self and when it does something for others under the disguise of charity, it is still about self. Christianity is about having a moral standard that is never changing. This standard was set by Jesus and no matter how much time goes by this moral standard will never change. This standard is about love, giving, caring, being honest, trustful, humble, and making sacrifices for the benefit of others and not ourselves. It’s about the beauty of looking just like Yeshua. Jesus never did anything for His own benefit but He did it all for us. But in order to look like Jesus we have to be pulled out of this world and let me tell you to truly be pulled out of this world is painful. Painful because it takes a breaking of everything that you have accepted as the norm. A breaking of every tradition that you believed to be acceptable of God. But God isn’t pleased with us. He’s not pleased because of the compromises that we have made in the name of tradition. Traditions that were supposed to be no more when we said “yes” to Jesus. Contrary to popular belief that America was founded in God, Satan was here and being worshipped by the different tribes that inhabited America before Whites came here. There were the Incas and the American Indian and there were even Africans here before Christopher Columbus ever came to America. And these indigenous people had no awareness of God even though millenniums ago their founding fathers were part of the clan of Adam. To the contrary they embraced the dark arts. Witchcraft, sorcery, divination, astrology, worship of gods of nature, of the sun and moon (all demonic). This stuff was here before the 1st Christian ever stepped on the land and it’s still here now but under a disguise. America is still worshiping these demonic gods through the festival that they hold yearly. I’m going to get right into it. So walk with me through history. Since the time Jesus came to earth He implored us to go out, taking with us the good news of the Gospel of Christ, making disciples of all mankind. Here’s where the problems began. Man wanted the power of Christ but they DID NOT want to change. So Christians desperate to say that they had new converts began to compromise with these people just to get them to say they believed in Jesus. These Christians themselves had not fully embraced what Jesus was offering them. Why? Because as it is the norm with man, fleshly desires will get in the way. This is what happened to the Jews before Christ and it happened again even after Christ. Man began to seek power over other men AGAIN! So how do you gain power over others? You get them to believe what you want them to believe no matter what it takes to do it. You give a little, you get a little. You bargain. This bargaining created a bondage for the new converts but it also wrapped the leaders in bondage. The Pharisees and Sadducees all over again under a different name. Christian. Matthew 16:12, “Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.” The Pharisees and Sadducees were given the same doctrine that Moses and the tribe of Israel was given but over the years it was modified and changed because of the desires of flesh because flesh desires power. Always. Flesh desires power while SPIRIT desires sacrifice. These two things never go together no matter how hard you try to meld them together because they are completely opposite of each other. POWER = TAKING SPIRIT = GIVING So the whole agenda had changed from the mission of Yeshua for man, to a doctrine polluted by compromises. Instead of the new man being put on two religions were melded together into one and a name change. This is the way the world has always operated. But God says, “NO MORE!” “I CALLED YOU OUT!” Are we not a chosen generation? 1 Peter 2:9, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;” COME OUT OF THE DARKNESS NOW! So where is this darkness that Jesus is calling us out of? It’s seeped in our traditions. It’s drenched in our celebrations. We are still in it and have refused to come out of it all in the false name of fun. Fun has become the new age idol. Fun is flesh, while joy is spirit! Did you see that? FUN = FLESH JOY = SPIRIT So what does that make fun? Fun is of the world. Fun is temporary. It doesn’t last and it won’t sustain you. But on the other hand we have 1 of the fruits of the spirit, JOY! True joy is everlasting. It doesn’t wane because it lives in the spirit. It’s filling. John 15:11, “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” So we’re not looking for fun, we’re looking for joy! Hallelujah!!!! And now that we are close in on October there is yet another tradition feast seeped in the darkness that God has been trying to pull us out approaching fast. Halloween – the Day of the Dead. And when you say the name Halloween around the children a light comes into their eyes. A light that we placed there and not God. A light that doesn’t belong to God but belongs to the darkness. It began as the Harvest Festival celebration of the dead. It didn’t belong to the people of Jesus. It belong to the converts. These new Christians that would not accept Jesus solely on His sacrifice because these new converts, these disciples to be, did not understand the joy of the Lord and they had never experienced it. They were used to worshipping the false God, “Fun” and they would not give that up for Jesus. Now today, because they were allowed to keep their false God, “Fun”, the darkness has penetrated the Christian community. Christians have to settle for fun because they still have no knowledge of JOY. When I see Christian embracing pagan traditions and then trying to intertwine God in the sin, I know exactly how Jesus felt when he overturned those tables in the temple of God. Our God loves you all so much but He wants you to open your eyes to the way Satan has gleefully infiltrated your belief system of the truth of God. How we have allowed Satan to put our JOY in bondage and replaced it with his FUN. I hear Jesus' cry on the cross right now, "Lord, Lord they know not what they do." and after all these thousands of years, you still don't know what you are doing. You are pushing straight towards the head of the "I don't know you line." God led me to this scripture. Please pay especially close attention to the title: Deuteronomy 18:9-12, Avoid Wicked Customs "When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, YOU SHALL NOT LEARN TO FOLLOW THE ABOMINATIONS OF THOSE NATIONS. 10 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12 For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you." God drove them out from before His people in the Old Testament but we have let them back in!!! "AVOID WICKED CUSTOMS" Sorcerers, witches, pagan worshippers, demon callers... these are the people that invented Halloween. I'm not going to go through the history this year because I know God can reach you better through your spirit. This is what the Bible that I love so much orders us to do, AVOID WICKED CUSTOMS. It's a hard thing to do when the entire world is doing it, I know. But it's a direct order from the God that we proclaim to love so much and all His desires for us are for our GOOD. Being disobedient to your promise to follow Jesus when you gave your life to Him moves you from the line of the Lamb's Book of Life to the "I don't know you line." There can be no compromising! You’re either hot or cold. There is no in between in the eyes of God. And yes, 1 thing once a year can and will do that. You can't repent and then go back and keep doing the same thing year after year with no consequences at the end of your earthly journey. This is everlasting life that we are striving to reach and I refuse to allow man with his rituals and traditions to knock me out of my spot in the line. We have to start making wise decisions and if not for yourself, do it for your children because they learn and copy everything that you do. If you say it's good, then it's good to them. If you say it's bad, then it's bad to them. You, the parents are their number 1 teachers and I pray that you are ready to teach them life from this day forth instead of eternal death. God is tired of His people standing in the middle of the road of indecision. It's all or nothing time. No being in the middle. Being in the middle is a place of death. He really doesn't want to lose any of His called ones to this world and He knows that it's getting harder and harder to be different from the world, but that's what we really must do. We need to fight these old traditions in order to come out of the darkness and to truly begin to walk in the light of God. AVOID WICKED CUSTOMS. It was one of the hardest things for me to do to make the change from the things I was taught to embrace as a child. But I want God more than those things and I taught myself to release them. This is what you will have to do. Train your body to come into alignment with your spirit and the Word of God. I'm sorry but that's the simple truth and if you don't make the effort then you might as well prepare yourselves for the line of "I don't know you" because God will hold you accountable for this. I keep hearing Prophet Brian Carn voice, “God’s gonna get you!” God gave us responsibility not only for ourselves but also for our children and that responsibility leaves you more vulnerable if you are not teaching them the ways of God. Only you can make this choice. Follow Jesus, follow God, follow what Holy Spirit is speaking to your spirit today, or turn away. Turn towards death. And this isn’t a 1 pagan festival thing. Understand this, Christmas – Never belonged to Jesus. Pagan festival incorporated to convert pagans from celebrating their idols. Easter – Not about Jesus but about the fertility God Esther. Also used as a tool of conversion. Christians only celebrate the resurrection of Christ. The whole basis of who we are and the most important thing that brought us life everlasting. Valentine’s Day – Pagan festival again. Had nothing to do with love and everything to do with lust. This festival literally gave men the right to break their marriage vows once a year and commit sexual acts with many partners. Satan has really infiltrated our ranks and still many will count these things out. Yet God doesn’t count them out. In fact it breaks the first commandment that God ever gave us: (Thou shall have no other God before me. Exodus 20) So when you celebrate these festivals you partake of celebrating their idols. Their false gods.) And as hard as it is to let them go I can truthfully tell you that what feels like a battle will become your victory when you finally release the things of this world. When you finally begin to embrace the joy of the Lord. When you finally begin to throw off the bondage of darkness in yours and your children’s life. God never gives up on you as long as you breathe on this earth. He’s calling for your release even now. Listen to your heart and know these words to be true and you are always accountable to the truth. God is calling you! “COME OUT! COME OUT!” Who will answer His call today? Who will accept the light and leave behind the darkness of this world? Who will say “yes” and begin to take His JOY into your spirit? Who I ask? Who? I’m praying that this message will free you from this bondage Satan has created to trap you in his world. Please receive this seed into your spirit and God will do the rest. It happened for me and I pray it will happen for you. Be blessed! Evangelist Cheryl Davies-Owolabi (www.fearnotministries.com) #LivingForTheKingdom #I’mComingOut #TheTruthWillSetYouFree #CaringIsSharing #FearNotMinistries Ephesians 1:18-19 teaches us about the power of God that is in us, but as Christians many still have not come to an understanding of that power and how God teaches daily lessons on what He has placed within us. “18 And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), 19 and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength.” (AMP) Many times in our lives God is trying to teach us lessons and we just don’t get it. That is why meditation is so important. We meditate on the Word but we also meditate on the things that happened in our lives that day. It’s not to see if we measure up but to see if we perceived the lesson that God was teaching us today. You see this Word of God is not to be just read but itis to be experienced, lived. I hear people ask all the time how to apply the Word of God to their lives in this day and time and meditating on it plays a big part in that. You might think that you just had an ordinary day. That your day was pretty much the same as the day before and the day before that, but you’re wrong. Something did happen today, just as it did all the days before. God is trying teaching you even in your day to day activities. The problem is that we don’t pay attention to the lessons. Let’s start with the morning. You wake up and you know you have to be at work or an appointment at a certain time but you overslept. Or the kids were moving slow. You know you are late but you begin to pray that you get there on time. And surprise! You made it just in time. So what did you learn? The obvious answer is that God answers our prayers, but if this is your only thought then you have missed the lesson of the day. You see God didn’t only answer your prayers but He moved time by your words. He actually slowed the whole world down so that you could catch up!!! He showed you that there is power in you to control the time. Now it’s funny that I read somewhere recently that scientist are really working on developing a way to time travel and we who are called by His name are traveling through time on almost a daily basis! Matthew 22:29 says, “Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.” And 1 Corinthians 4:20 says, “For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.” Until we can conceive that there are no boundaries in this power, this God given power, we will remain in a kind of stasis. A place of inactivity of the power of God. A cocoon of ignorance of everything that God said we have not being activated in our daily lives. See, we need to begin to elevate our thinking and the only way to do that is to catch these daily lessons that God is trying so hard to teach us. It’s not just about reading the Word of God but this mediating on it is where we get our fuel, our substance. It where we begin to truly come alive in the awareness and knowledge of this power that has been placed in us. It’s where the miracles begin because it not only teaches us but it builds on our faith, since we actually become witnesses to what God has done this day! It says in Ephesians 3 that to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God and unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that WORKS in us. The power that WORKS in us! It’s WORKS! It’s not in stasis. It’s not dormant. It’s moving! It’s active! And it’s in us. And every day of your life our Father is showing that’s it in us and we miss the lesson. But that’s okay because you can see it now. You can see that you weren’t really paying attention and now you will. You won’t just say, “I’ve read my verse for the day” or “I read my Bible.” Now you’ll take the time to meditate on what you just finished reading. You’ll look at your day and see what God taught you that day. You’ll be the witness. And learn how better to activate that power that God has placed in you. So follow these steps each day and watch the changes that will begin to take place in your life. 1. Read your Word! You have to read your Bible because this is where our understanding comes from. 2. Meditate on what you just read. When we meditate we are opening ourselves up for God to show us things we need to see. 3. Meditate on your day and LOOK for the lesson/s that God showed you this day. God never stops teaching us how to be more like Him. We just need to pay more attention to the lesson. 4. Declare that you witness the movement of God’s power. Yes God! You did slow time down so that I made it there on time! I saw it and I know it was you! 5. Practice what you learned. Begin to make the declaration that time will slow down so you can be on time. (Please note that this is just an example.) Make declarations about everything going the way you need it to go. Remember there is power in our words. Declarations speak things into existence. Just like there are different levels of faith there are different levels of power but following these tools will help you to build up the strength of the power that lives in you. More than power builders they are faith builders because it’s your faith that elevates activates everything God through His Son Jesus has given us. I pray these words will be a blessing to you. Evangelist Cheryl Davies (www.fearnotministries.com) #DailyLessonsFromGod #PowerOfGod #JesusInUs #FearNotMinistries Everyday angels are battling on your behalf. High places are not as high as you believe. Remember the Tower of Babel. If heaven were unreachable there would not have been a reason for God to stop and divide the people. If you dwell in the spirit realm you can actually see the battleground between heaven and earth. You can see the angels and the demonic angels actually fighting.
Ephesians 6:12 KJV [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places . I was on the airplane coming home from New York and it was night and raining but I saw many lights. I know now they were the sparks of blades clashing but not understanding I knew in my spirit that what I was seeing was not natural. I saw a battleground that contained both heaven and hell. There was light above and darkness below. And God's army was light and Lucifer's was clothe in darkness. I didn't see this at the time. It would be a year later that God would take what I saw through that airplane window and expand it. I only saw the lights at the time but the picture I took told a different story. I know now that I didn't take that picture. That picture was taken in the spirit so that I could see the truth of the Word of God in action. There is a great battle going on for the souls of man!! They are actually fighting and we should be fighting too! It is our Father's desire that none shall perish so let's begin to join in this battle to save as many souls as possible. May you join us on the battleground! Evangelist Cheryl Davies-Owolabi www.fearnotministries.com #battleground #fearnotministries Everything in God has a dual nature. Either or. God gives us many choices. Either or. Hot or cold, up or down, right or left, salt or pepper, God or Satan. Heaven or hell. This is because when God gave us free will He wanted us to choose Him on our own so that we would truly belong to Him. We would truly be His child. He didn’t just give us a choice in choosing Him, He gave us a choice in every aspect of our lives and what we choose says who we belong to. So WHY do we need to know this? Because it will keep us walking in the truth. The “or” is the deception. The lie. Give to the world what belongs to the world! The lie belongs to the world!!! The lie belongs to the world!!! The world will try and trap you with its deception. It will set you up, but only if you allow it to. We can learned from our brother, Jesus how to deal with that. Matt. 22:15-22 teaches us of how to defeat deception with the truth. 15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. 16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. 17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? 18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. 20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. 22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. Give to the world what belongs to the world! The world was on that money therefore it belonged to the world. God is greater than anything of or in this world and He doesn't need anything that belongs to the world. Just like Jesus really didn’t need that coin. Did He not turn water into wine? Did He not feed a multitude on 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish? Did He not raise Lazarus from the dead? And how much did all of this cost Him? Not 1 coin! You see when we walk in the spirit of truth it connects us to the power of God and we begin to see the manifestation of the power that was also given to the sons of God. Everything concerning God is connected. Faith is connected to belief and belief is connected spirit and spirit is connected to truth and truth is connected to the power of God. Mix them up anyway you want but they must all be connected if we are ever to operate in the full power of God. So give to the world what belongs to the world. If it's not from my Father, then I don't need it. I'm pulling all my needs from the spirit realm and increasing them daily. Won't you join me? Evangelist Cheryl Davies-Owolabi www.fearnotministries.com #Manifestation, #ChooseNow, #FearNotMinistries The Touch
Pentecost is thought to be a holy time of the year for most Christians yet it was not meant to be a once a year event. This was just an example of the power and manifestation of Holy Spirit. This power and touching of the Holy Spirit is meant to happen daily in our lives. John 14:26, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." God sent HIS Spirit to to teach and to guide us but how can we hear His directions unless we touch His Spirit. You see when Holy Spirit came down there was a purpose that had nothing to do with just feeling good. There is purpose in everything God does and John 14:26 is just one example of what that purpose was. For now let's just examine this most important purpose. To be a Helper and to teach you all things! How important is that? Not even another man can teach you unless he's been taught and Holy Spirit is the ultimate teacher because Holy Spirit knows all things!! No one else can make this proclamation!!! Holy Spirit knows ALL things!!! But we must be able to see and hear in order to learn. Galatians 5:16 implores us to "walk in the spirit"! It is only in the spirit that we are able to touch, commune and hear Holy Spirit and if you're not listening He can't help you. Pentecost was a touch from the very hand and Spirit of God!! A touch that God is trying to give us daily but so many are not there yet. So many of you can't hear Holy Spirit when He is speaking to you daily. We must not take just portions of the Bible to add to our lives. To do this is to miss out on the best things God is offering us through His Son Jesus and His Holy Spirit. When Holy Spirit touches you everything about you will change including your language. That is why it is called your spirit language and this language has not just one, but many purposes. But you won't know it until you allow yourself to be touched by Holy Spirit! Just one touch daily can change your entire life! So let us not wait for the day of Pentecost to experience to fullness of God. Reach up and touch His Spirit daily and you'll find it a lot easier to walk in the Spirit. Be blessed! Evangelist Cheryl Davies (www.fearnotministries.com) #TouchedByGod #FearNotMinistries Most people only look at the times the devil tempted and taunted Jesus, but did you know that even before Lucipher came into the picture that Jesus went through the same taunts with His brothers? Family will put us through the worst trials ever yet these trials were a preparation for what was to come and like Jesus, when our family baits us we have to be unmoveable. Sometimes we have to just say "no" and take a step back.
Here's how Jesus says "no". John 7:2-8, 2 Now the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was approaching. 3 So His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples [there] may also see the works that You do. 4 No one does anything in secret when he wants to be known publicly. If You [must] do these things, show Yourself openly to the world and make Yourself known!” 5 For not even His brothers believed in Him. 6 So Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come; but any time is right for you. 7 The world cannot hate you[since you are part of it], but it does hate Me because I denounce it and testify that its deeds are evil. 8 Go up to the feast yourselves. I am not going up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come.” His brothers were of the world. They didn't believe that He was the Son of God so they tried to bait Him mixing a little bit of truth and pride to try and draw Jesus in. They didn't really want Jesus to go to the feast since they knew His life would be in danger. They didn't even understand that His desire was not to be known. This was a pretest but Jesus understood what they were doing and became UNMOVEABLE no matter how they tried to play Him. He understood His time and season were coming but it was not upon Him yet. Do not allow family to lead you someplace you're not meant to go yet! I know the hardest people to say no to is family, but you can do it! Just like Jesus we have to be unmoveable in what we know to be true. There is a set time for everything concerning our lives but we tend to allow friends and family to move us into places before its time. Be UNMOVEABLE until you reach your time. Do you know Time and Purpose goes hand in hand in the kingdom of God? One cannot be achieved without the other and carry meaning. Jesus knew this and dispite the goading of His family He waited on the appointed time for His purpose to be revealed. He was UNMOVEABLE to the taunts of His brothers that tried to move Him out of alignment with His time and purpuse. Stay faithful. Stay strong. Stay UNMOVEABLE! What you are called to do is not depending on your family or friends. It depends on you staying in alignment with your time and purpose. I hear the Lord saying that this is not the time to be bending or swaying in the wind. Be steady. Be strong. Be UNMOVABLE! With Love & Blessings, Evangelist Cheryl Davies (www.fearnotministries.com) #Unmoveable, #ILoveJesus, JustSayNO, SharingIsCaring, #FearNotMinistriesItl Sometimes I just want to be quiet and keep the things God teach me to myself because it's usually something that man don't want to hear because they don't want to give up the things they love so much. But I've been commissioned by God to be the bearer of truth not just to those that want to hear it but to all mankind. So those who have an ear, hear the truth and be set free!
It's been 10 years since God began removing me from celebrating pagan festivals but the first step was to search out the truth and if you're a truth seeker like me then you'll have to look at the root of the tree. If the root is good the the tree is healthy but if the root is bad then the tree is rotten and the root of these celebrations (Halloween, Christmas and Easter) are all bad because they started out as pagan festivals. I like to call them conversions gone wrong. Way wrong because the repercussions of Christian errors are still vibrating today and not only that but other cultures have now taken them on as their own. Christmas is known and celebrated worldwide now and like so many other things the celebrating of these pagan feasts is angering the God we claim to love so much. This shows us that people are reading their Bible either without comprehension or they have decided to only follow portions that they agree with out of the Bible. It's my prayer that it's miscomprehension because that will urge you to seek out the truth. I grew up celebrating every pagan holiday in America from Halloween to Christmas and Mardi Gras, ending in Easter and yes I was a Christian.I just didn't know and my family didn't know the truth. But to mature in Christ is to seek out the truth in all things, not just the things that won't change your life. It's a hard thing to break from tradition. So hard in fact that it was a 10 year journey to freedom for me. All the strange looks never deterred me. I'm chasing after the heart of God! That's the most important thing in my life. In Isaiah 1:14 God says, "Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them ." God is tired of us holding onto things that never belonged to us or Him. Celebrating pagan feasts because these feasts were always meant to worship false gods. Throughout history there has always been the followers of God and the followers of gods. Following false gods is a worldly thing. Always has been and always will be. Understand this, I'm not talking about just Santa Clause. There were so many gods that the pagans worshipped. Sun god, Moon god, Seasons gods, fertility or sex gods. They had a god for everything and they loved these false gods and had many festivals to worship these gods. So along comes Christianity doing what Christians are suppose to do, discipleship. But things went seriously wrong when the people wanted Jesus and their gods too and the Christians said sure! So compromises were made and Christmas, Easter and other less famous festivals were created. Now I don't know about you but my Bible tells me to never compromise my belief. Proverbs 25:26, "Like a muddied fountain and a polluted spring Is a righteous man who yields and compromises his integrity before the wicked." But compromise they did! The Bible also says, "Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from idols—[false teachings, moral compromises, and anything that would take God’s place in your heart]." 1 John 5:21 So these things are of the world and separates you from Jesus. Anything that God feels hatred towards separates you from Him if you embrace it. Christmas was the hardest trial for me ever to conquer because I'm one of those people that would go all out for holidays decorating not only outside but also the inside of my house and even my car at times. But the Bible says the truth will set you free and once I knew the truth I began taking steps toward it in my life. Gradually I defeated my fleshly desires and today I am totally free of pagan feasts!!! Glory to God!!! Now I can share these things with you but it's up to you to make the choice of seeking the truth. God says there is no in between, no gray areas no compromising. So knowing the truth about these Pagan Festivals being celebrated by God's people I choose to make a stand for God! My pages will not be sharing anything glorifying pagan festivals. I love you all but I can't and won't support the lies that has been passed down to God's people for generations. So if I you didn't want to hear this, try not to be angry but instead try to find the truth for yourselves because if you really want all of Jesus you must know everything concerning Him is truth for our Bibles tells us that He is the way, the truth and the life. ~John 14:6~ God bless you! Evangelist Cheryl Davies (www.fearnotministries.com) #ChristIsNotInChristmas, #TellTheTruth, #FearNotMinistriesIntl Move Higher Christians!
I'm am saddened when I see the anger and disbelief of Christians over who is now the President of America but I want to encourage you today. God has a plan! If you will spend time in the book of Kings and Daniel you will see that history is but repeating itself. At that time God raised up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon over His chosen people. A man that believed in and worshipped false gods. (Just as Trump worships the god, Money.) And this Nebuchadnezzar had no true love for God's chosen people, yet God raised up the faithful despite who was king. Noticed I said the faithful!!! These things happen so that the unsaved can see through God's people who God really is! God used Daniel and the 3 Hebrew boys mightily and changed a whole nation. By the time He finished showing out the King was declaring to the whole kingdom that Daniel's God was indeed the one true God! Right now the eyes of the entire world is on America and we must be who we really are in Jesus. God says He is a God that dislikes compromising. This is a time to go all in and not eat the defiled fruits of the pagan gods! Prove who you believe in! Stop getting angry! Do not be afraid! For if you believe and stand firmly and solely in your faith of the one true God then this is our time of promotion!!! Hallelujah!! That's right! God wants to show the world who he truly is but it will take the faithful for him to do it! Those willing to walk into a fiery pit and those willing to walk into the lion's den! Take your eyes off of the things of this world! Let me say this again. TAKE YOUR EYES OFF OF THIS WORLD! You can't say you're not of this world and still be so wrapped up in it. It doesn't work like that. You can't be the light of the world by blending in. To blend is to compromise and you'll miss your promotion! Keep your eyes on higher things. Keep your eyes on the Lord our God the author and finisher of all things. I've been feeling lately that God is calling to a year in Africa and He is but we must know that there is a time for everything. I know now that now is the time for America. WE have to be the light in our own village before we be the light of the nations. We should all be thinking that this is our time! God has opened the door wide for the world to see who He is!!! Are you the Daniel of our time? Are you our Hananiah, Mishael or Azariah? I'm not asking you this question, but God is! Our prayer for today for ourselves and our nation should be only one thing, "Lord make me faithful enough that You can use me to be your light so that all the world can see that You are the one true God!" Now say Amen and lets leave those spirits of anger and fear behind because we all know that God doesn't own them. Let's be faithful and patient and wait on the next move of God. You wanted signs and wonders. Well we have definitely entered a season of signs and wonders and all I can say to God is, "I'm ready Lord! I'm ready!" HALLELUJAH!!! HALLELUJAH!!! I praise God for Trump because of the way He's about to show out!!! You just need to decide for yourself: Is He God or isn't He? And if He is then for you this will be a time of joy and expectation! Psalm 37:25 says, "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." So lift your heads and keep your eyes on the high places because God is real!!!! Be blessed! Evangelist Cheryl Davies (www.fearnotministries.com) #GodIsHigherThanTrump And if you truly believe, let's all hash tag :#GodIsHigherThanTrump so the world will know that we are not defeated!!! {The Hebrew names of Daniel's friends were Hananiah (חֲנַנְיָה), "Yah (i.e., Yahweh) is gracious", Mishael (מִישָׁאֵל), "Who is like God?" and Azariah (עֲזַרְיָה), "Yah has helped", but by the king's decree they assigned Chaldean names, so that Hananiah became Shadrach, Mishael became Meshach and Azariah became Abednego.} Over the last couple of days a person that doesn't know me has been heavy handed with her words, but it never offended me. My thoughts were, "How can I make the anger she was expressing leave?" I began to speak peace into the situation. Now know this, if a person does not walk with the Lord as we do the enemy will always rise up in them. Sometimes we can change things around, but not always. It depends on how strong an influence Satan has on their life.
"Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,"
2 Timothy 1:9 God doesn't call you with a holy calling until you become totally submitted to Holy Spirit. That's how we get the glory of God within us. James 4:7, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you". The glory cannot live next to the devil. It don't want to and don't need to. Submitting to God means getting rid of all that don't belong to Him. That's the only way Holy Spirit will fill you. You must be emptied out first. Get off the surface and go deep! Come on!! You have got to dig deeper! But we can't do it without His grace! This is what Lot said in Genesis 19:19, "Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:" I'm not trying to escape the grace of God by holding onto those things that really need to go. To hold on to them is death. We must lean on the grace of Jesus and be cleansed of all that is unholy! Oh magnify thy mercy Lord!!! Become the holy calling. I'm God's holy calling! Say that to yourself. Our works have nothing to do with it. It only has to do with God. No self involved!! Paul says we die to self. Only God's glory operating through me. I praise Your holy name Lord. I am God's holy calling! Be blessed! Evangelist Cheryl Davies (www.fearnotministries.com) #SharingIsCaring #GodsHolyCalling #DigDeeper #TotallyFilled 2 Kings 4:8-9, "And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
9 And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually." I am still in awe of the Shunammite Woman. She was a true gold digger. The depth of her perception. How many of you would recognize the spirit of a Holy Man when in his presence? Too many people are to busy trying to tear down ministries instead of trying to receive what God has waiting for them. Even in dirt something precious can be found and it's called gold. Stop looking at the man and began to direct your attention to what God is trying to show you. Begin to seek the gold instead of searching for more dirt. There are lessons to be learned in every situation, but it all depends on how deep you are willing to go. A satisfied person has no need for growth, improvement or becoming more. I've never met a truly satisfied person and I pray I will never be satisfied. Even though God loves the woman I am now I know He wants more out of me so I'm constantly digging deeper. My prayer for myself and you is that we never pass by a Holy Man unaware. That we are so in-tuned to the Holy Spirit that we don't miss our blessings because we were blind. Proverbs 11:27 says, "Those who seek the good seek favor, but those who pursue evil will have evil come upon them." So let's stop looking at the outer man (dirt) and lets look towards the inner man (gold). We don't want to miss the Holy Man as he is passing by carrying our blessings. Be blessed! Evangelist Cheryl Davies (www.fearnotministries.com) #SharingIsCaring #ShunammiteWoman #DiggingDeeper #GodInMe It's not good enough to be a survivor. In Christ we have the victory so if we are true believers we live in a place of victory. Yes trials will come your way and sometimes you may stumble but if you stay in right alignment with God and His Holy Spirit you will always be victorious!!!
This is what it means to be a survivor: You are a person who copes well with difficulties in your life. I don't want to just cope but I want to be a winner. I want to be victorious! But to be victorious means to take your commitment to God serious. Kings 17:17, “And they caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire, practiced witchcraft and soothsaying, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.” You see how Satan will take the things of God and turn it for his glory. Fire is meant to burn off all impurities, but Satan has used it to turn man towards him through the anger and fear which is the scars of the fire. Now with Satan it’s through the scars caused by the fire that he will turn their heart towards evil. Think about it. If your parent made you pass through the fire, would you not become angry and hateful and even fearful them. These are all portals – doorways – that Satan uses to gain access to your soul and ultimately your spirit. Even to this day we are causing our children to pass through the fire. Every time you hurt or cause disappointment to your child you are moving him/her 1 step closer to Satan's agenda. So as you can see what we do affects our children also. That's why it's even more important that we get this right. We can keep our child from learning how to be a survivor and instead teach them how to push through to the victory. But lets chose to push them into their own victory even as we are getting our own! Be blessed! Evangelist Cheryl Davies (www.fearnotministries.com) #SharingIsCaring #Victory #Don'tJustSurvive #TeachingHowToLiveVictorious Last Saturday we had an amazing experience with God? I was teaching on being changed through brokenness and God began to show me some things about His power and as I began to share this revelation to our members there came a loud sound of a bell and the peal which started behind me resonated throughout the room. It was the most heavenly sound ever and amidst the cries of, "did you hear that", the presence of God began to saturate the atmosphere as our hands and praises rose up! Glory to God!!!
Acts 14:3 says, "Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands." God has said that this is a season of boldness. We must boldly share Jesus with others and in that boldness you will begin to unwrap the power of God. Miraculous things are in store for us this year but only if we begin to walk in boldness declaring to all that Jesus is Lord!!! (To read the message I was giving when this miraculous event occurred go to the Fear Not Ministries website. It will be posted by Wednesday, 1/20/2016.) Be blessed! Evangelist Cheryl Davies (www.fearnotministries.com) Do you stand out in your surroundings or do you blend in?
2 Chronicles 1:1 says, “Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him and made him exceedingly great.” As Solomon established himself over his kingdom so should we be established over every area of our lives. As Christians, blending is not an option. Ephesians 5:7-11 tells us, “Therefore do not become partners with them; 8 for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), 10 and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them." God is calling for you to be the light so that others may live. Yes, rejecting the things of this world will make you standout and apart from everyone else. The world will come against you, but know this to be true: God is always with you. The Bible says in Deuteronomy 20:1, “When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the Lord thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.” You must see this world as being in battle against God and those that belong to God. It’s against you, but is not our God more powerful than anything that can be conceived on this earth. Have faith in this truth. God is always right and this world (get this in your spirit now) is always wrong. About everything. So if you are in agreement with God, then YOU are right and THEY (this world) are wrong. Believe it. Walk in it. We must be the light. As the light we draw others toward Jesus and the Kingdom of God. Be the Light. Philippians 1:27-28 says, “Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God.” Defeat for them and victory for you!!! Stand in faith for if God is for you, who can stand against you. They may try, but victory will always belong to you. Be blessed!

The 2nd time we meet the Shunammite Woman is in 2 Kings 8:1-6. So Elisha is still staying at the Shunammite Woman’s home whenever he goes through Shunem and it is on one of these visits that Elisha warns her of a famine to come upon the land ordering the family to leave their home for the 7 years of famine.
The Shunammite Woman immediately gathered her things with her family and left their home and lands. She asked no questions. She didn’t delay. She immediately took action to do what the holy man of God had commanded her. Not only that but she went to the land of the Philistines. Seven years in an unholy land and we hear nothing of her complaining.
So they return home after seven years and as expected, someone else now owns their lands so her family is homeless. But only for a moment. You see God is a situation changer.
After returning home and seeing their property belonging to someone else, the Shunammite Woman decides to go request their property back from the King and it was only because she was obedient to the man of God’s directions that she arrived at the palace just as Gehazi, Elisha’s servant was relating her story to the King. Now that’s favor! She not only received her property back, but the current owner had to restore any profits from the lands made during their seven year absence as well. If God be for you, who can stand against you. The Shunammite Woman is a perfect example of knowing who God is, knowing who is sent by God, having a servant’s heart despite your wealthy status, and having an obedient spirit will allow God to move time for you and set you smack dab in the middle of the blessing. Be blessed! Evangelist Cheryl Davies (www.fearnotministries.com) #SharingIsCaring #ShunammiteWoman #TheTimeChanger #Restoration#GloryToGod We first encounter the Shunammite Woman in 2 King 4:8-37 as Elisha was passing by. From the first the Shunammite Woman was considered a great woman. This woman carried a discerning spirit for she perceived that Elisha was a holy man of God and from the beginning she chose to serve him. Despite her status she chose to be a servant to the man of God.
Without being asked to, the Shunammite Woman decided to add onto her house a room, reserved only for Elisha, to rest in whenever he passed her way. Her desire to be a servant to the man of God required a response.
Notice that the Shunammite Woman never had to ask Elisha to bless her household. Her giving came from her heart without a need to receive anything in return. She positioned herself to be a receiver. Not only that, but she placed herself in a position of remembrance. Every time Elisha came to Shunem he would think of this woman and her kindness towards him.
Elijah did not know what the woman’s needs were. A prophet is not all seeing as God is, and sometimes must ask questions and Elisha was ready to prophesy once he received his answer.
So the Shunammite Woman gave birth to a son which grew to be a young man. The story tells how one day he had a pain in his head and died. The Shunammite Woman went searching for Elisha and would not leave him until he came himself to her son. Even though she had a little doubt she still carried hope that Elisha would heal her son and he did.
So don't worry about the doubt. As long as you have hope, doubt will quickly be overcame. Be blessed! Evangelist Cheryl Davies (www.fearnotministries.com) #SharingIsCaring #ShunammiteWoman #GiveFreely #CreateProphesy#GloryToGod Last weekend the Lord had me teach on David from a perspective that I had never heard before. Now all week I keep seeing our Leaders teaching on David. If you haven't done it yet, pull out your Bible and read the story of David and Goliath once again.
God is trying to elevate your knowledge. Flow with Him! 1 Samuel 17:4546, "Then said David to the Philistine, " Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 46 This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel." Being spiritually fit has to do with what's on the inside of you. You have to really know what God has placed in you. Luke 10:19 says, "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." Holy Ghost power resides within us. Power to defeat any giant that comes our way Whether it be trial or circumstance. Begin to speak to that giant today as David spoke to Goliath, "I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel." Claim your victory in Jesus' name! Evangelist Cheryl Davies (www.fearnotministries.com) #CaringIsSharing #LiveVictoriously #EmpoweredByGod #BeheadYourGiant When there is a battle soldiers will put on a war-face. They might smear mud or paint on their face to make themselves look more vicious than they would if their faces were bare. They do this because they know that most of the battle is in the mind.
“IF I CAN GET YOU TO THINK THAT I AM STRONGER AND GREATER THAN YOU, THEN I HAVE ALREADY BEATEN YOU.” This man named Goliath was a giant for sure, but the truth of the matter is usually the bigger you are the slower you move. Not to mention the fact that he was weighted down by heavy bronze armor. To the Israelite's this man looked like a monster covered in bronze scales. Goliath got into the Israelite's mind first. However when you are spiritually fit looks can't fool you. You continue to stand in the midst of God's promises and you move in faith. 1 Samuel 17:34-37, But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, 35 I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. 37 The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” Being spiritually fit will empower you to do great feats under the power of God. But remember what happened before David fought Goliath? Saul’s men tried to dress him as Goliath. They tried to cover him in heavy armor and he could not withstand the weight of. They gave him a sword that he could not lift. But his spiritual fitness gave him wisdom. Being spiritually fit will give you wisdom because you are spiritually connected to the greatest wisdom of all. Our Father God is the only one that can make you spiritually fit, but even He can’t do it unless you surrender your spirit to Him. Your spirit is everything and yet it takes everything for you to have faith enough to surrender it all. Faith is only the beginning to being spiritually fit. It is only through total surrender to Jesus and our Father above that we are made spiritually fit. So my question to you is, “What is the state of your spirit?” Be blessed!

We need to have a spirit talk!!! Holy Spirit to your spirit because I know that's the only way I can reach you and it becomes a part of you. I'm pleading with you to please just read this message in it's entirety because it's not from any website. It comes from what God has placed in my heart to give to you today and I hear His urgency that you truly begin to understand His desires for you and your life. I've tried to hold my tongue from speaking the truth this season but when I see Christian Networks embracing pagan traditions and then trying to intertwine God in the sin, I know exactly how Jesus felt when he overturned those tables in the temple of God. Our God loves you all so much but He so wants you to open your eyes to the way Satan has gleefully infiltrate your belief system of the truth of God. Are you a true believer of His Word? You have to be in order for it to not come back void. And it really grieves my spirit when I see leaders of the Christian community not only embracing the things of this world and it's wicked traditions and rituals, but trying to intertwine them with the Word. I hear Jesus' cry on the cross right now, " Lord, Lord they know not what they do." and after all these thousands of years, you still don't know what you are doing.You are pushing straight towards the head of the "I don't know you line." God led me to this scripture earlier and now I know why. Please pay especially close attention to the title: Deuteronomy 18:9-12 (NKJV) Avoid Wicked Customs "When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12 For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you." God drove them out from before His people in the Old Testament but we have let them back in!!! "Avoid Wicked Customs" Sorcerers, witches, pagan worshippers, demon callers... these are the people that invented halloween. I'm not going to go through the history this year because I know God can reach you better through your spirit. This is what the Bible that I love so much orders us to do, AVOID WICKED CUSTOMS. It's a hard thing to do when all the world is doing it, I know. But it's a direct order from the God that we proclaim to love so much and all His desires for us are for our GOOD. Being disobedient to your promise to follow Jesus when you gave your life to Him moves you from the line of the Lamb's Book of Life to the "I don't know you line." And yes, 1 thing once a year can and will do that. You can't repent and then go back and keep doing the same thing year after year with no consequences at the end of your earthly journey. This is everlasting life that we are striving to reach and I refuse to allow man with his rituals and traditions to knock me out of my spot in the line. We have to start making wise decisions and if not for yourself, do it for your children because they learn and copy everything that you do. If you say it's good, then it's good to them. If you say it's bad, then it's bad to them. You, the parents are their number 1 teachers and I pray that you are ready to teach them life from this day forth instead of eternal death. God is tried of His people standing in the middle of the road of indecision. It's all or nothing time. No being in the middle. Being in the middle is a place of death. The picture attached to this posting was posted today on Facebook by DAYSTAR a Christian Television Network boldly comparing God to a Jack-o-lantern. Tell me... What do you think Jesus' reaction would have been to this picture? Is this His teachings? To the contrary, it the teachings of the world. Candycane strips and Jack-o-lantern. Pagan rituals intermingling with Christianity will kill you and your family. But I don't want you to just take my word for it. Please search the scriptures. Allow Holy Spirit to lead you to the truth. He really doesn't want to lose any of His called ones to this world and He knows that it's getting harder and harder to be different from the world, but that's what we really must do. AVOID WICKED CUSTOMS. It was one of the hardest things for me to do to make the change from the things I was taught to embrace as a child. But I want God more than those things and I taught to release them. This is what you will have to do. Train your body to come into alignment with your spirit and the Word of God. I'm sorry but that's the simple truth and if you don't make the effort then you might as well prepare yourselves for the line of "I don't know you" because God will hold you accountable for this. Only you can make this choice. Follow Jesus, follow God, follow what Holy Spirit is speaking to your spirit today, or turn away. Turn towards death. What feels like a battle will become your victory when you finally release the things of this world. God bless you if you have completed reading this posting and I sincerely pray that you make the right decision. Evangelist Cheryl Davies www.fearnotministries.com #embracingthetruth #IchooseJesus #overcomersofthisworld#fearnotministries #SharingIsCaring I'm also going to do 1 more thing. Go to Daystar's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/DaystarTV?fref=ts and ask them to please stop pushing Christians towards hell. Now be nice about it, but ask them to please remove this picture from their page because it represents the world and knot the teachings of God. If enough of us do it we can keep some of God's people from getting in the wrong line at Judgment Day. I also don't mind if you copy and past this posting in they page feed. Thank you so much for loving God so much that you want to be what He wants you to be. May God bless you. |
