The Truth WILL set you FREE

So last night at Bible Study, we had a really great discussion. Initially I was like, Hmm I wonder where this conversation was going.. Oh How I love the organic ,free flowing , movement of God when believer's come together to worship Him with their minds, and sharpening each other in the Word. WE started the conversation discussing Spiritual Warefare..as we've seen an increase in demonic activity, attacks, even paranormal at times (recently) there are 4 things. to remember. almost like Spiritual Warefare 101>

Spiritual Warefare 101

1) The Name of Jesus
Demon's can't say the name of Jesus. The bible says, that Demons tremble at the Name of Jesus, Demons also FLEE.. but if you encounter a lying spirit, then sometimes it can say " Jesus is Lord" but then you may need to be specific..say " jesus Christ of NAzareth is Lord" . pretty full proof..

2) Plea the Blood of Jesus..
the demon knows that they were defeated at teh cross, when we plea the blood of Jesus we retake the authority.. reminding the enemy that they have know power, and out of what power we speak.. and demand authority.

3) The WORD o GOd... the Sword of the SPiri t is the Word of God.. so important to have word stored up in you , so that in Spiritual Battles just a Jesus did when he was being tempted by the enemy, He fought him with the word of God.

4) Love..

From experience we've found that unforgiveness... gives the enemy permission to latch onto you.. and it's at the point of TRUTH , confession and forgiveness.. when we see deliverance take place..

I've found, that the right answer as a christian is not always the honest answer. and I believe, especially when reaching out to the Lord, ..we need to be Honest.. God says I want your broken and contrite hear.. When we are honest we can say , God, I'm broken and I need you.. apply the blood to this.. almost like we give Him something to work with. . we hand him something to fix, when we are honest and acknowledge we are broken. IF we always give the rigth answer, then we are never dealing with reality, and that means no true real healing can tak eplace, bc the healthy don't need a doctor..right. ?

Remember

Remember the cross...

Romans 12:1-2

we had our kids memorize this verse as it was the theme scripture for our youth group two years back... Today while meeting with the girls, it came up again. And we went through each part and explained what it meant... later in a conversation, so quickly i forgot all of what i had explained to the young ladies.. thought of, "perhaps i've taken the wrong road" or maybe " if i had more money, i'd be more effective' , why does the call have to be so hard" sometimes i just want to settle for the glittery things.. but the end result of this pondering, lead to a life not fulfilling, bc it was passionless. so what's the point. What's the point of the mission work, why are we going around and trying to love.. what's the motivation? then we come back to this verse.. Finally I urge you brothers, in VIEW OF GOD"S MERCY... to present your bodies as living sacrifices. like, that's it.. IN VIW OF GOD"S MERCY, with His sacrifice in mind, remembering the cross... WE give up our lives..

tonight in prayer we sang the song.. " I'll never know, how much it cost,to see my sends up on that cross...here I am to worship" .. but really , really think of it.. WE'll really NEVER know...

the cross we bare is so much less than the cross He took for us..and yet I find my self despising the sacrifice, I'm called to. TO be set apart, and example.. salt and light in the earth... But if we can just remember the cross. I pray that picture be etched in my mind and heart..that I NEVER forget the cross... thoughts of Laziness and mundane can't co-exist with the remembrance of the cross. i can't afford to be lazy.. it cost too much.

Please Support this Mission!

Hello Family!

It’s me again, I’m writing to give you an update on how the Lord is moving in and through my life. It’s just so much! For those who supported my trip to Haiti back in July, know that it was definitely a life changing experience. While there the Lord confirmed my call to global missions. There is so much to be done and the time is now for us to love our neighbors and Go making disciples of all nations.

I am excited and honored to be headed back to Gonaives, Haiti this March 10-22 nd. This trip I was invited to join three other missionaries, and we will be working with the children, ministering, as well as surveying and planning for the next large group trip we take with the Beyond all Boundaries team. I believe the Lord has a plan that he is going to reveal while we are
on that land. We would like to send additional funds for the churches in Gonaives that have been hit with Cholera and major flooding, so if you feel led to support this cause please click the Paypal link on the top right of this blog titled "donate"



Everyday life in Haiti requires mountain-moving faith. To spend time in fellowship and ministry with the Church there is to see faith in action, unspeakable joy, and true peace despite the desperate circumstances. They literally live by the bread of life, the Word of God and they offered God praise and worship that sprung from the depths of their souls.

I returned from Haiti in July of 2010 intently seeking the Lord’s will about my next steps and His vision for my global missions work. What does that mean Lord? Where am I to go? What am I supposed to share and do when I get there? Then Zambia dropped into my Spirit. I was like, Zambia? Really? Why Zambia? Then I got one word “faith.” So I’m supposed to go to Zambia for my faith. Faith: the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Up until a few weeks ago, I couldn’t see any movement towards the fruition of this trip. Then the Lord opened the door and I’ve got to walk through it! I will be serving With Rev. Oscar & Rev. Mailes Ndao who provides leadership for over 365 churches in Zambia, April 17- May 6th.

The goal of this trip is to simply walk with these anointed indigenous missionaries as they passionately propel the gospel message forward. We don’t automatically think of Zambia as a place in need, however it is. They too are often touched with Cholera, but the biggest issue there is flooding and drought. The needs are many. Imagine 60% of the population lives on less than a dollar a day. The unemployment rate is also high. The important thing I was asked to pray for was the youth. Many young people, because of poverty, have engaged in activities opening themselves to all kinds of abuse. They are getting infected with HIV/ AIDS, drug abuse, alcohol and many other vices. With this in mind, and my work as a youth worker in the church the past 5 years, I have also been asked to lead a youth workers conference during the 21 days of my stay. For this conference I need to raise $3,950 dollars to help bring the youth leaders to Lusaka from the nine provinces of the country. Also, other needs would be transportation for doing ministry in the area, which would preferably be bicycles. A bicycle in Zambia cost $ 110 dollars. My ticket will be approximately $1,700. The other needs for the churches are bibles in local languages. The cost for a bible is $15. The Zambian church has been growing like wild fire, and their resources are extremely limited or non-existent. When I look at the number’s I myself begin to get a little overwhelmed. But God, Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, is able. So yes, I am trying to raise a total of $7,350 including the 5 bikes and100 bibles that I would like to sow into the ministry, in a month! Yikes! Philippians 4:13… “I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.”

However I can’t do this alone, and again, I need your help. Please pray ask the Lord how you are to support this mission of Faith & Love. If you have read this letter I am asking you to please embark on this journey with me through prayer (most importantly) also pray about how you might support me financially or spread the word if you know someone else who can participate with us. Your prayers and contribution of any amount will be greatly appreciated.

If I am able to raise more support than I need, it will go towards blessing our ministry partners, more bibles and supplies for the church in Zambia. Your gifts may be sent and written out to me directly “Ashley Haley” or you can contribute via Paypal click the link in the body of this e-mail. Matthew 19: 26 “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Thank You in Advance for your prayers and support! Feel free to message me. if you have any questions.

Sick and Tired

I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired,

more than just an old cliche from the voice of my 80 year church mother,

It's the address of the place were I currently reside, and I hate it here.

How many times, does it take ?

For me to fall in the same ditch, that has stayed in the same place.

Tired of leaning on grace, but I'm forever grateful for it.

I don't want this to be continued...

Spirit of Sabotage

This is something I've been dealing with, in regards to food. I ran across this posting from SFJ blog site, and it was helpful.

Spirit of Sabotage

This is a serious Spirit that through prayer and revelation I believe attacked the group strongly in the first part of the Fast. Some even have aborted/are aborting the divine plans of the Lord has for them by falling victim to this Spirit. I want to bring this thing into the Light so that we can be in complete Freedom in our walk following Jesus.

"The Spirit of Sabotage operates as a strong demonic influence that drive people to abort the progress and success of divinely ordained projects, purposes relationships, organization, self, potential, and destinies. It stirs up jealously, resentment, and suspicion, and is often vindictive towards the person who detects its presence. Sabotage can make you both victim and perpetrator so that even when you pronounce judgment on others you both expose and pronounce judgment upon yourself. This spirit is so skillful it will use you as a pawn and a puppet on a string, prohibiting you from detecting its hand upon you and the strings that manipulate you. Working with familiar spirits, who act as their reconnaissance, informing them of breaks in hedges of protection, strengths, weaknesses, and proclivities of both the perpetrator and victim, its plan is a well-thought-out plan. I have discovered that many agents used are not only those with malicious intent, but also those who sincerely love us and want what's best for us. Consider the incident Matthew records In Matthew 16:21-23, where Peter unwittingly was being used in an attempt to sabotage the mission of Jesus. Jesus decisively identified the spirit controlling Peter's thoughts and immediately aborted its activities. Remember as you examine the activities of this spirit that you will discover that you are both victim and perpetrator. When the Lord gives you victory over this spirit, you will notice that a veil will be lifted, and scales of deception will fall from your spiritual eyes. Everything that you thought was real will crumble before you and evaporates like a mirage. Truth will prevail and set you free from anything built upon fabrications, lies, falsehood, and untruths."
