Passion for Murder
A California OBGYN is planning to build a floating abortion clinic on federal waters free from state restrictions

Dr. Meg Autry is a California OBGYN who provides abortions. She’s planning a clinic on a boat in federal waters.
The boat would primarily serve people in southern states where abortion is heavily restricted.
Autry is currently seeking funding, researching boats, and looking into legal obstacles for the first-of-its-kind project.
Dr. Meg Autry knows more about boats and maritime law than your average gynecologist.
Autry, a California-based OBGYN and abortion provider for 30 years, never expected her career to involve researching ocean vessels. But when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, Autry decided to pursue a plan she’d been thinking about for years, a floating abortion clinic on federal waters free from state restrictions.
A Mississippi native, Autry was intrigued by the riverboat casinos she saw during childhood. She wondered what made gambling on the water legal when it wasn’t allowed on land, and if that concept could be applied to other actions individual states prohibit.
About five years ago, the idea for a floating abortion clinic popped into her head as she noticed more threats to abortion rights and experienced hostile situations while she provided abortions. When former SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died and the Supreme Court became a conservative majority soon after, Autry said it felt more urgent than ever.
“And so I was constantly thinking about, ‘What are some innovative and creative ways that we could provide access?'” Autry told Insider.
Autry is currently looking for funding and anticipates legal obstacles
At first, Autry wanted her clinic to float in the Mississippi River. Currently, there are no abortion clinics in the state, and the procedure is banned after six weeks of pregnancy.
During initial talks with lawyers who specialize in reproductive rights and maritime law, Autry learned that location choice would come with severe legal restrictions. As they awaited the SCOTUS decision about Roe v. Wade, Autry’s team settled on the Gulf Coast of Mexico.
This way, a floating clinic can serve people in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.
Now, Autry is seeking funding to buy a boat and retrofit it with medical equipment under the non-profit PRROWESS, or Protecting Reproductive Rights Of Women Endangered by State Statutes. For their clinic needs, it must be at least 45 meters long, but they don’t need something as large as a cruise ship or military vessel, Autry said.
Once they have a boat, she hopes the clinic will be up and running within a year once it meets both clinical and maritime standards.
Abortion seekers in southern states need more clinic options
Autry’s primary goal is to serve and protect abortion seekers with limited options.
In Texas, for example, all abortion services shut down following the SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Now, Texans seeking abortions must cross state lines to places like New Mexico. Often low-income, they may not have the time off work or money to afford a flight or long drive to get the care they seek.
“This is potentially the quickest, closest options for some of those patients,” Autry said.
She was hesitant to share certain details of her plan, like sketches of the clinic setup and her ideal vessel, with Insider, citing potential future security issues and the increasing criminalization of abortion care.
“We know how dangerous it is for patients and providers,” Autry said.
There’s already public interest in the floating abortion clinic. Autry said she’s received funds from small donors and offers to volunteer from legal, maritime, and medical experts in abortion-restricted states.
The outpour of support has been really unexpected, exciting, heartwarming, and gut-wrenching,” Autry said.
These scriptures came up to the glory of God:
Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide in times of trouble? The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor; Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised. For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire; He blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord. The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts. His ways are always prospering; Your judgments are far above, out of his sight; As for all his enemies, he sneers at them. He has said in his heart, “I shall not be moved; I shall never be in adversity.” His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity. He sits in the lurking places of the villages; In the secret places he murders the innocent; His eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless. He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den; He lies in wait to catch the poor; He catches the poor when he draws him into his net. So he crouches, he lies low, That the helpless may fall by his strength. He has said in his heart, “God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will never see.” Arise, O Lord! O God, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the humble. Why do the wicked renounce God? He has said in his heart, “You will not require an account.” But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief, To repay it by Your hand. The helpless commits himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless. Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man; Seek out his wickedness until You find none. The Lord is King forever and ever; The nations have perished out of His land. Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear, To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, That the man of the earth may oppress no more.
Psalms 10:1-18 NKJV
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Psalms 127:3 NKJV
Repent and turn to Christ. Forgiveness is there for you. CHOOSE LIFE LADIES!!!!!!! Remember to trust God cry, repeat, God bless you.
New milestone! New Year full of exciting announcements
Weaponized Womanhood
Saying no to
femme fatale
A femme fatale
fĕm″ fə-tăl′, -täl′, făm″ noun
What is a femme fatale?
A femme fatale is-
An attractive, alluring seductive woman, especially one who leads men into compromising and dangerous situations.
This is the way of the culture and world.
Weaponized Femininity and Womanhood examples includes but not limited to:
(The Stallion, Beyonce, Kardashians and Cardi B mentality. All are synonymous with Harpy and Jezebel behaviors. )
They use sex and provocative clothes to seduce men and women and children. They have a wide influence of perversion. Have you noticed the increase in porn consumption, infidelity, premarital sex, homosexuality, and sexually transmitted disease.
Women like these and many less obvious examples lay and wait to sink their teeth in to their unsuspecting prey. They wear fake smiles as they manipulate and run churches world wide from a distance. All under the disguise of faux submission. You know who you are!
These distorted examples of womanhood are lies waiting to be torn down.
We are living in a proud lascivious world and this is one of the many hurdles we must address and dismantle.
I want to encourage you to do your part to break the cycle of cultural nonsense including femme fatale, immodesty, lack of discretion, and impurity.
I also want to caution you not to follow trends. One trend for example is to put your family on the internet. And I don’t mean posting something that has to do with your family. I mean you get to have a very intimate look into the lives of complete strangers. The more you see the more they get paid to show. Please stop putting your whole lives on the internet.
This is a subtle and seductive lure to show more and more until you become an influencer worthy of its hire.
Think about who can see your updates and life events. Then imagine the huge population of perverted people indulging secretly in your life. Gross right?
Protect your families at all costs.
Ladies, another push back and active fight against the darkness of this age is to refuse to raise “maneaters. The “I don’t need a man,” “I can do bad all by myself mentalities.”
It is femme fatale indoctrination of our young daughters. Girls who were entrusted by God to care for and raise to love, serve, honor, and obey God.
I’ve seen online were women dress proactively parading around with their young toddlers in matching outfits. Grooming their own children to show their bodies and walk to entice men. It’s sickening
The Bible warns in- Matthew 18:6
New King James Vebrsion
6 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Weaponized Nurturing
Is another form of weaponized femininity. It happens with the ,withholding of nurturing, lacking to develop emotional connections, hugs, and more. All due to anger, frustration, or, past traumas from your childhood.
Fight against it!
Another area is-
Using Your Body Against Your Husband
Random flash back–
I was at work a long time ago when I worked outside of the home. I work at a local pharmacy.
A woman came in and asked for me to help her find something. She started divulging that it was her husband’s birthday coming up and she planned to be intimate. She stressed since it was his birthday. I was dumbfounded. How in the world can you survive being intimate only a time or two a year?
I sadly get told things from strangers that say I’m easy to talk to.
Sex regularly with your husband should be the norm.
Your body belongs to your husband. Its a tool of torture. If you lord over him with it. Give to you your husband what is his!!!!! Satisfy him so that your husband doesn’t find supplements.
Scripture says:
Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 1 Corinthians 7:5 ESV
It is attractive to men to see a woman take care of herself. Walk, hit the gym regularly, do jumping jacks, etc.
Taking care of yourself is a turn on ladies. Genuine non- competitive care of yourself helps marriages.
Conditioning your body regularly for health and not for extra marital lure.
Holiness and Biblical Womanhood and Femininity is not a way of living for older women, it’s for all women in all walks of life. Teach your daughter to submit, and obey Christ so she will one day submit to their husbands.
Teach your daughters to clean and cook. Teach your daughters not to use her tears, body, and meals to manipulate a man. Feminism’s poisons have been ingrained into life so much so fight against it with all you have and all you are.
Spoiler alert the ” I’m an independent woman I don’t need a man attitude. Is an example of another destructive mindset. The I can do anything a man can do attitudes are just not Biblical. Biblical womanhood is the standard not all these warped societal norms need to be stopped.
God has given us everything we need to be protected from the schemes of Satan. We fall prey when we negate to put on the whole armor of God. Or chose not to have active faith.
As we find ourselves going the world’s way.
Scripture says:
Ephesians 6:10-19 ESV
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, Ephesians 6:10-19 ESV
Another area to cover is-
Weaponized Arrogance
Scoffing
But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.
Don’t scoff at correction
A scoffer does not like to be reproved; he will not go to the wise. Proverbs 15:12 ESV
The wise woman builds her house [on a foundation of godly precepts, and her household thrives], But the foolish one [who lacks spiritual insight] tears it down with her own hands [by ignoring godly principles]. Proverbs 14:1 AMP
Weaponized Commitment Too busy screams-Quantity over quality
Weaponized Womanhood regarding commitments also prioritizes activities over family togetherness and puts God dead last if in the equation at all.
Weaponized Commitments also is in the elevation of our desires. Our desires shouldn’t be put above what God desires for you. Don’t allow your days to be too full of meaningful time with the Lord, with your husband/family, or for you to get recharged.
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22 ESV
Biblical Wives Don’t Degrade
You are trusted with the most intimate parts of your husband’s life. You should take this position seriously. You should not take advantage of this position to use it to tear down your husband or family.
The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down. Proverbs 14:1 ESV
Instead
Titus 2:1-5 ESV
I am absolutely tired of it seeming like the older women are to be discarded in churches instead of honored and listened to. We are not obeying scripture if we are not looking to the older women for instruction, wisdom, and practical application of our day to day tasks.
Psalm 51:10 “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me”
Ending Prayer
Lord God, evil is seductive and relentless however we know you are our protection in this fallen world. As the world gets darker let your light get stronger even brighter Lord, we are here for such a time as this, and I pray for you to cleanse our hearts and minds in your name Jesus. Let us not conform to the patterns of this world Lord. Help us detox from the worlds ways in Jesus name. Amen.
Remember Lest You Forget
As we go into a month of prayer next month. I want to hopefully give a glimmer of hope through remembering the goodness of God.
I had a wrestling of sorts lately between not truly understanding how to figure out the next step in some areas of my life and overly focusing on things I can’t control.
My deepest desires are to please God in every area of my life. I know a few areas where the surrendering hasn’t happened because of the fact that my death grip prevented it. That is until today. I was encouraged to look back and remember.
Many times life does what it does and seems to give us some spiritual amnesia. Forgetting what our Almighty God has already triumphantly done.
What can’t God do?
Ladies, don’t lose heart.
Psalms 27:13-14 NKJV
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
I have seen the Lord show out in my life. I choose to remember. The almost 19 years of marriage. Experiencing God healing my body from several major illnesses. Allowing the news it was physically impossible for me to conceive be reversed as I found out that I was pregnant with our oldest child. I’ve experienced God providing food while making our last meal that was in our fridge and giving our baby most of it all to have a friend surprise us with something to eat. Seeing our oldest in the hospital declining and they doctors saying there’s nothing left to do. Then God turned it completely around. I remember being at the hospital as they tried to convince me that I was miscarrying. This was followed by 8 more months of he’s not viable then being born with no health issues and is healthly and almost 12 years old. I experienced God reverse a permanent procedure which allowed us to conceive our youngest. I experienced God deepen my faith as He held us as we heard she needs surgery or she’ll die. The surgery could kill her as well.
So many things to reccount too many for this short time.
He then miraculously keeping her and us through surgery. Keeping life together through her heart surgery and then bringing her off of life support after being on it for 5 days.
Remember how Christ saved you and kept you.
How He Loved you when you were in some of the worst times of your life. Also how He held me through the losses of loved ones including losing three children.
With Christ the impossible becomes possible!
Matt. 19:26 says
But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26 NKJV
Remember ladies !
Draw up God’s resume’ and see that He’s more than capable of handling any situation that comes up in your life.
Ps 91:1-6 says
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
Psalms 91:1-6 NKJV
Don’t let what you see limit how far God can take you .
I’m reminded of a scene from Facing the Giants where the boy said he couldn’t carry a teammate to the desire location by the goal post because the person was too heavy to carry. The coach blindfolded him and told him to keep going and every time it seemed like he was going to give up he kept saying this:
Ladies others are watching! So don’t forget to look back lest to forget the goodness of God!!!!!!
Shrink Wrapped
Ladies,
I’m going to start off with this. It is time out for settling for satans lies.
Don’t give life to satan’s lies.
Picture this, alie from satan spoken looming around you waiting for you blood bought believer to do one of two things: resist and watch his deceptive efforts disintegrate or trade your peace. Becoming a difibulator charging his lies giving life to his deception as it steals, kills, and destroys.
The word God says Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7 ESV
Are you resisting or embracing?
Let’s dig deeper
I was afforded the opportunity to share my testimony at an awesome church in Indiana last month and there I had to live this very message out.
I was there to share my testimony and to offer my 3 books for sell after church. Ladies let me tell you that from the time I accepted this opportunity the enemy got busier and busier. I fell and hurt my knee right before we left , I missed our rental car pickup, and barely secured another rental. Since those things didn’t make me cancel the enemy turned up the heat and the shrink wrapping began. The discouragement tightened. The insecurity tightened, and my eyes were shifting from Christ to satans lies. Shame Tightened up. Wrestling not to let anymore shrink wrapping occur I sat noticeably shaking so much so the pastor asked my family to stand up with me when my time came to share.
After I spoke and gave God glory my husband took my hand and said sturnly and lovingly stop shrinking back! This is your testimony.
Let’s break it down futher.
You see ladies to be shrink wrapped the plastic around an object is heated to preserve the object.
In real life if we buy into the enemies lies the shrink wrap holds the lies in. As the heat increases the lies choke more life out of us. The more we buy into the lies the more movement is restricted until the shrink wrapped lies are too close to ignore so we become atrophied.
Break free!!!!!!!!
We all have a testimony and nothing can be used against us. We share to the glory of God . Don’t shrink back.
Here’s some scriptures to empower you to destroy your shrink wrap this week.
1 Cor 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:58 ESV
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9 ESV
Ladies,
Reach out to someone. Let them know you care.
Oh, and one more awesome scripture before I close is:
2 Cor.10:4
For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
2 Corinthians 10:4 ESV
Wage good warfare this week and as always remember to trust God cry repeat God bless you.

Denouncing the Spirit of Fear
An important fact to start with is this… if people can be caught up in a spirit of fear they can be easily controlled.
Lets dive in!
Ps 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1 ESV
Denouncing the spirit of fear
Hidden Fear can be exploited by the enemy.
He wants to blackmail you.
This is why truthfulness is important!
Truthfulness takes his options down to none.
Dont give him any ammo to use against you.
Fear paralyzes you. If you aren’t moving forward how can you accomplish what Christ has set out for you to do?
The truth of God’s Word sets us free.
Truth frees us in ways nothing else can.
Know your Word ladies!
Rom 8:35-39
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:35-39 ESV
Words to live by!
I heard a helpful hint this weekend that I want to share.
Don’t start with your problems… start with the Word of God
Word of God should be the very thing we filter everything in our life through!
God is love
1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
1 John 4:18 ESV
There is no fear in the presence of God!
Matt 10:28And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:28 ESV
I want to stress that satan is the father of lies. He is not to be trusted.
Father of lies….
1 Sam. 17:45-46
Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down and cut off your head. And I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and to the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
1 Samuel 17:45-46 ESV
Fear is a Liar!
The light of the Lord extinguishes darkness
Ps 27:2-6
When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes,? it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident. One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; he will conceal me under the cover of his tent; he will lift me high upon a rock. And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord.
Psalm 27:2-6 ESV
When anxiety, depression, and complacency occurs * Lean on the Lord.
I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4 ESV
He is the sav that heals through and through to the uttermost parts
Solutions for us all:

Apply it to your life
Obey the Lord
Give Him access to all of you no matter how dirty you think it is.
What is your confidence in?
Let it be in the Almighty God !
What stirs up your affections for the Lord?
After a busy productive week the day had come to enjoy my son’s 1st Christian theatrical performance.
The enemy kept trying push me into fear to steal and destroy things in my life. He kept pushing the thought that I wouldn’t make through the end of the day. This was 5 days ago by the way.
I had to resist the devil so he would flee.
I had the choice to listen and give life to his lies or do as in 2 Cor. 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.
2 Corinthians 10:3-6 ESV
Ladies, all you that are blood bought believers remember that no form of evil including the Antichrist can ever prosper against the power of Jesus Christ.
so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:10-11 ESV
*Ps 27:13-14
I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living! Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
Psalm 27:13-14 ESV
I want to encourage you ladies to wait with anticipation on the Lord.
Use the Word to repeat and rehearse. Don’t give your God given power and authority to satan to exploit and misuse.
Reach out to someone this week because we all need fellowship and accountability.
Always remember to trust God as you cry and repeat God bless you.
Fighting Expired Fights
Sever the rope series installment #5
Breaking the ties to feminism w/ Biblical Womanhood Entitled
Stop fighting Expired Fights …. God Sees You.
No matter how far you progress satan brings up the past to stop you from going forward.
Wage good warfare !
Wrestle well and take every thought captive.
We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,
2 Corinthians 10:5 ESV
Remember This scripture in Micah which reads
He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:19
Ladies,
if God got rid of it who are we to bring them up or anyone to drudge up your past.
John 10:10-11 reads
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
John 10:10-11 ESV
Dont take the bait!!!
Another scripture to rely on is Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:12 ESV
Ladies
The devil is already defeated.
Keep going ladies!
Romans 5:4 ESV
and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,
God sees you! Its not all for nothing. Study God’s Word so you can spot the counterfeit truths. Equipped yourself and your children.
We are living in a time that makes learning and standing on truth a must!
The enemy knows your past is forgiven that why depends on you to repeat his lies. It’s a coercion of for the transfer of power.
He will try anything to keep you from walking with Lord. Its time to walk in the newness of life.
This is a must walk forward once we are saved not backwards. The enemy knows your past is forgiven. I will say it again walk in the newness of life.
Romans 6:4-6 ESV
We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.
The enemyS trick into hopelessness is not worth the trade off no matter what he offers.
He causes us to fight things only God can change while we ignore we ignore what we can change.
Why should those who have hope in Jesus and who will be with Christ for all eternity trade for hopelessness and unity with someone who is defeated and cursed to Hell for all eternity. Think about it!
It’s in the name- Father of lies.
What tricks pull you back into Anxiety
Cheating
Insecurities
Fear
Lust
Unbelief or Doubt
Childlessness
Say it out loud!
I am Forgiven!
No matter what goes on God will deliver you out of it all.
Psalms 34:17-19
When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
Psalm 34:17-19 ESV
Ladies,
Remember God’s resume’!
Don’t think it strange when we are persecuted.
Pray for right perspective and open your Word and study to show yourself approved.
1 Peter 4:12-13
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
1 Peter 4:12-13 ESV
Never wear the victims badge.
Things happen to you but it’s not you.
We are victorious in Christ!
Never believe you are a failure.
You were created by the Lord God Almighty the creator of all things created!
1 Cor. 15:57-58
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:57-58 ESV
2 Cor. 2:14-15
But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing,

Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Romans 5:3-5 ESV
The Holy Spirit makes us saved. We are saved by grace through faith and that makes us unmmovable, unbreakable, unshakable!
Keep going forward.
2 Corinthians 4:8-11
We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
2 Corinthians 4:8-11 ESV
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 ESV

3 Things not to do :
The Things We Cannot Change
The enemy attacks our past and causes our minds to focus and exhaust energy trying to remap the map and alter our history. We cannot change what has happened! This is the greatest attack of the enemy, to cause us to replay the past over and over again. This not only keeps us immobilized in battle, but it creates a diversion so the enemy can attack our future unopposed. If he can keep us caught up in past error and mistakes, he can discourage us from moving forward.
Prayer-
Father God, deliver me from my past. Do not allow the enemy to use my past against me and cause me to focus on what cannot be undone. If my past has power over my future, then Jesus died for nothing. But I believe that, in Christ, I am a new creation daily! Old things are passed away! Your mercies are renewed daily and I die daily. I am in the right place, at the right time and I did not miss out on anything You have for me. Today is the day of salvation and tomorrow will trump today!
Prov. 12:25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad
The Things We Must Change
It’s impossible to fight the devil, if you stay close to him! If you are in his face, he will bite you. If you are
in his friends circle, they will attack you. If you are enjoying his vices, he will destroy you. You can’t be in Christ and go after false gods, in any way. Any idol that is raised up in your life nullifies your ability to fight. You are weakened by the devil’s stuff! Just as Israel lost battles because of idolatry, we lose battles as well. Sure, you may be born again, but are you truly born of God’s Spirit or a false god spirit? You will know by your allegiance and investment in whichever God you truly serve. If you are not on board with the true and living God’s plan for you, then you have ventured to the other side and will continue to be hurt by the enemy of your soul.
Father God, I denounce every idol, every false god, every sin that habitually comes between us.
defeat, and destroy my progress in You. Lord, I denounce all deceptions, deceit, and wickedness in my heart! I will walk in love, honesty, and uprightness in Jesus Name. I will remove the wicked I break every curse by the power of God. I uncover every hidden spirit that is in my life to confuse,
friendships that are idols. I will separate myself from those that do wickedness and are against you.
In my solitude, I will honor You with my behavior. I will live righteously before You Lord, because it is right to do. Psa. 143:11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name’s sake: for thy righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble
Things Only God Can Change
We become efficient in battle once we learn that certain things can only be changed by God and His Power! The devil will have us adopting New Age philosophies that basically take God out of the picture and place our fate in our own hands. We need the Spirit of God to do things for us that are impossible for us to do!
Many times we need Him to do exceeding abundantly above what we can even ask for!
We war with certain things that are beyond our understanding and we need to rely on the power of God to decode it and defeat it!
The Internet causes us to know too much. We believe we know and want answers for everything. This is a trick of the enemy. The devil knew in the garden that if man knew more, he would try to be more than he was created to be. So, he coerced man to eat so that he would always seek more and bring more cares upon himself than he was created to handle.
People today watch information all day, everyday without balance or healthy lifestyle practices. They get bogged down with cares, concerns, fears, and anxieties. Then when the devil comes and whispers their own problems to them, they cannot bear anymore and fall into depression and suicidal thoughts.
All because they increased their knowledge without understanding. When it comes to the things that only
God can do, we must get out of His way and allow Him to do it! We can’t find answers online every time and we cannot sort through video after video calling it research! Some things only God knows and our faith in Him causes us to wait on Him. But if our faith is in our ability or our methods, then we have lost God wanted to give Adam knowledge as he needed it and could handle it, not because of his desire for it. We need God to give us what we need when we can handle it. Lord, give us this day our daily bread! Please forgive us for running ahead of You! Forgive us for using the Internet as a replacement for You speaking through Your Word to us in due season. Lord, temper us, so that we are not hungry for unvetted knowledge from random sources, but we are disciplined to hear from You and wait when we hear nothing! God, we denounce the spirit of this world, the spirit of the cosmic crater, the spirit of hidden knowledge and concepts, the spirit of false information and elitist programming, the spirit of antichrist policies, freemason policies, and all secret evil policies that come to disassemble Your plan for man! We come against all social media mediums, sorceries, mystic powers, and deviant platforms. Every word curse spoken, every hindering spirit unleashed, and every token of darkness received digitally or physically, we cast away in Jesus Name! We will allow You to change what we cannot and do what You desire in our lives. Prov. 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding
