The Boxing Gloves

The Lord is giving us the power to do all things we would not otherwise be able to do. As we prayed and worship I see this boxing gloves. I don’t know if I am to take them or if they belong to some one else. I am intrigued by then. Did it means we are ready to go into the ring. Does it means we are being trained for the great match of our life time. Still I gaze at them. But by me gazing at them without putting them on they do nothing. They won’t win the greatest match if they are not put to used. As I look again, some one is giving me the gloves for me to put on. Yes, I am to put them on. We are the gloves in Gods hands. Fitted perfectly for our hands. Without his power, and strength letting us on, we are useless. His power in us unable us to do what other way, we won’t be able to attain. The time is here: today is the day, not looking back, you had been trained in the fires of afflictions. The Lord himself had trained you, kept you , lead you and direct you to where we stand today. We are still in the ring of life. We may had loose few rounds, but we are not loosing the fight. For we are fighting the good fight of faith. Go in, all out for Jesus. This fights it’s been fixed. In the end, We win. Thank you, Lord. 💕💕 Ivette Diaz-Yee

Catapult Prayers

Today I received a phone call from a very special friend of mine. We had been prayer partners for almost 16 years. We became friends at Teen Challenge thru our woman’s groups. Two weeks ago she called me to inform me that she had contracted the virus through her husband.   I was very concerned and honestly a little fearful because of her underline health issues with diabetes. Today we talk and what she had to share blew my mind. She is at the tail end of this ordeal. In her own words, this is what she felt. “It felt like a demonic attack. The virus intimidate me (such as the enemy bringing doubt and fear) I felt backed up into a corner with no way out. The Lord showed her how the virus mimics our good cells and tricks them into trusting it (counterfeiting our behavior and patterns) how she was able to taste the ugliness inside her mouth. How discouraged she felt, alone and isolated from everyone, but God. How she saw herself losing her strength and at times losing herself, But God. She heard the virus saying to her “You would die from this one”. She felt this virus stealing her hope, her dreams, and her future. But God. She heard God saying to her “Encourage your body don’t give up. Speak life to your good cells. Speak words of affirmation to your body. Speak life...speak, believe, and trust”. (death and life are in the power of the tongue, Prov 18:21) The Lord allowed her to see 3 battlefields which she had to pray for. These battlefields are people (multitudes)  - those fighting the virus.  -those fighting against the virus/ Fighting to stay healthy. - the leadership in our country. Making decisions for us. Later at night and even this morning I’m still digesting and processing everything she had said. The Lord bring me to a dream I had last year 1/16/19. Where I saw something try to come inside my mouth or trying to come out of my mouth. I didn't know what was happening since it happened so fast. But one thing it was revealed to me, was how to pray against it “If is trying to come in me, you are not welcome, if is coming out, Lord take everything that is not of you, away from me” The Lord spoke to my heart and I saw an ancient military device that will hurl missiles. It will aim directly at the position it had to hit. With great force. Our prayers are that missiles, As we focus on the target. As we persist, not wavering, no doubt, no fear. No matter what it comes our way. The Lord always has our back. He goes ahead making the way. He is our refuge in times of trouble. No plague will enter your dwellings as we get closer and deeper into God. Today as you get ready to continue on ask The Lord questions and wait until he answers. “The purpose of a man's heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out” Prov 20:5 Ivette Diaz-Yee Original Note May-2020  

Conviction (Finishing Strong)

Conviction A firmly held belief or opinion. Views Thoughts Strong beliefs ( Article) of faith It drive your behavior and actions in every decision involving right and wrong. Conviction would put a stop to a wrong doing if we allow conviction to guides us; it will become our personal internal warning sign, exposing danger, magnifying manipulation, deception and lies. As believers, convictions lives inside of us. for me Conviction is vital part of the Holy Spirit in me, living within me and tru me. It had changed me and help me to become the woman that I am today. It truly exposes the motive of the heart. It had stop me from making the wrong decisions or spoken the wrong word. In these days and hours that we live, we need to allow the conviction to be our compass, always directing us upward to the Father in Heaven. “But when he the spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth” John 16:13 S❤️BG 2022

Welcome (Finishing Strong)

Welcome -gladly received into ones presence or companionship. -designed to introduce a person to a new place. Well-Come Well- wise, efficiently Come-draw near, move closer, move near Another piece in my 22 days until the New Year, or perhaps a new season. One of the reasons I am here today; able to move forward and able to finish this year strong is because I learn to welcome God into every aspect off my life. Even into the smallest detail. Our Lord and savior is always ready to help, lead and direct us on how, or where or how to hold on or when to let go. I was amaze to see his hand at work in my life; even those areas that I thought they where insignificant or irrelevant. I was able to see and understand that God is attentive to every detail of my life. I had to learn to WELL-COME him in to the secret places off my heart , mind and soul. When we allowed him and we make room for him, he is ready to bring us into his embrace. Learn to seek his face and you would find his heart. Coming closer to him would be the must wise and effective thing we could do. Today God is waiting for you to welcome him in to those areas forgotten deep inside your soul. Tomorrow may be to late. Colossians 2:6 “Just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him” S❤BG 2022

Pillars of The Church

In the beginning was God and God was with us. The foundation lies where He was the founder. The one, the only. But then.... that’s when things and situations started to come in and they shifted their attention to the foundation, and then; they became the founding ones. The ones who stood in the mist. Slow fade. Without notice almost as in invincible hand was playing and switching things around. Man became prideful, arrogance lead then and ego took over. “Don’t look at me they claim, and yet they love the acclamation off the people. People waited patently for the word that he man would bring. Not knowing that God has been trying to speak in so many ways. Voices had been shut off, and the love of God had been replaced by theology. Fear of God had become fear of man. Smoke and light had also replaced the anointing. We keep an eye on the clock in order not to go over time. The building stands tall and crowded. But the pillars that once held the structures are becoming feeble. Our Lord is calling. But are we listening? “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” Hosea 4:6 Ivette Diaz-Yee

Resting In God

what is rest..?Do we know the true meaning Of the word? How do we find rest in a world full of activities, distractions, and goals? This was my devotion a few weeks ago. “Come with me by yourself to a quiet place and get some rest” Mark 6:31 To get the rest we so much need we ought to disciple ourselves and just learn how to do it. Give yourself the time for just you and God. Not studying or researching something. Just sitting quietly allowing Yourself to be wrapped in His presence. Go out and take a quiet walk. Nowadays we don’t know how is done. Is as much as a requirement to learn how to REST IN HIM. So many of us are multi-task, We could cook, clean, and do laundry all at the same time, and the enemy uses our abilities to keep us busy, occupied, distracted, and eventually burn out. God is looking for our 100% not our 25% The enemy would even keep us busy with our ministries, jobs, calendars, and agendas. He would use everything for his gain and eventually, he would have the upper hand with us. We need to go against our flesh. Healing our wounded hearts and our emotions. Recognize the enemy's new strategy ways; a mental attack that would become mental unrest. So today, take time away from everyone and everything and allow yourself some rest. Take a stroll by the beach or the park. Sit quietly by the porch and let the birds sing to you. Recharge your body your mind and your souls. Rest: cease work or movement to relax, refresh oneself, or recover strength. Relax, ease up/off Today let your soul find rest in The Lord. Rest: Having the confidence that God would do what He said He would do. For we serve a God who doesn’t lie. Numbers 23:19 “Though it lingers wait for it: it will certainly come and will not delay”. Habb 2:3 Today take time to rest in him. May 2020

Save by His Grace

He save me when I couldn’t save myself. He was there with me all along. I was never alone because in my loneliness, my hurts, and my disappointment he was there with me. “All the days ordained for me were writing in your book before one of them came to be” Psalm 139:16 The enemy knew that. For he was watching. Waiting for the most appropriate time to strike and bring me down. The same day I got baptized in the spirit was the same night my innocence was stolen. After that, my life was forever changed. I became rude, prideful, and arrogant. Manipulative and a liar. I found solace in drinking and smoking. And yet inside of me, I had this void. This emptiness. I knew that something was wrong but no one took the time to lead me or show me. Until I was found by him. Until I heard the ultimatum. Yale, mental illness or the Morgue. Because even in my darkest hours He was there to save me. “In my distress, I called to the Lord and he answered me. From the depth of the grave, I called out for help and he listen to my cry. When my life was ebbing away I remember you, Lord and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple.” Jonah 2:2, 7. The Lord didn't wait for me to get better to get clean or get my life in order. His mighty hand reach out and picked me up. He lifted me from the mud and mire He put a new song in my heart. A new sound in my lips. He held me, and carry me when I couldn't move. He walked beside me at my pace. The Lord didn't rush me. He allowed me to see, to understand that true healing takes time. I didn't get where I had ended up overnight, I have the rest of my life to get well. Spiritual, physical, and mentally. What I had learned over these years I give out. The Lord save me; for me to save others. “You are to help your brothers (sisters) until the Lord gives them rest, as he has done for you.” Joshua 1:15 What he did in my life he would do it again in yours if you give him a chance. We have tried everything why not try Jesus? Ivette Diaz-Yee

Develop Your Sixth Sense

“Grow powerful in union with The Lord, in union with his mighty strength “ Eph 6:10 The other day as I was walking into work. I notice a nickel and a penny on the floor. I tend to always pick up the pennies because they say “In God we trust”.Today I picked up the six cents and placed them in my pocket. Usually, I just dropped them inside my work desk drawer in case I need change for the vending machine. For some odd reason, I didn’t do that this time. I forgot about the change in my pocket until I arrived home later that night. As I sat in front of my vanity taking off my jewelry, I notice the change in my pocket. I held it in the palm of my hand. And said “Six cents” Six cents I repeated. This time it sounded different, Sixth sense. Shivers ran down my arms. I know what was coming next. “Develop your Sixth sense” It took me by surprise. I knew what He was talking about. But I didn’t know what to do with it. Doubt came in, and fear and double-minded thoughts came in too. I understood why I received this revelation. I knew I had to do something with it but at the time I didn’t know what. I know God was telling me something. I needed to find out what he was trying to tell me. So I could get to the bottom of it. I had received the word. Now it was up to me to process, simmer and figure out what I have received. I recognize we are living in dangerous perils days. The 6th Sense God was talking about, has to do with our spiritual self. It has to do with discernment of the spirit, alertness, and the ability to recognize the tricks the enemy brings our way. Able to recognize it from a distance. It has to do with the knowledge to know the word of God so no one can deceive you with their beliefs and interpretations. Being able to see behind the mask and listening to what's not being said. It’s being able to see through what is fake and counterfeit. Able to see the real problem behind the hurt, disappointment, and fears. Developing our sixth sense would keep us accountable and ready for when He calls on us. The 6th sense is essential for the battle we are facing today. “For we are not struggling against a human being, but against the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers governing this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm”. Eph 6:12, (The Complete Jewish study bible). We need to wake up! The weapons of our warfare are mighty and unto God to bring down strongholds. Even when you walk through the fires you won’t be burned and the waters of affliction won’t sweep you away. He will raise you with wings like an eagle. Times are changing and they are changing fast, look around you...tell me what you see? These are difficult times. God is calling us to a new level in Him. Not as individuals but as the body of Christ. United in unity by the blood of Christ. As one body, God is training us to distinguish good from evil. He is opening our eyes to the realm of the spirit. The enemy is after our souls. We ought to regain what he has stolen from us. The Lord is developing in us a new sense that has nothing to do with the natural senses and everything to do with them at the same time. Your senses are more defined and alert. He has awakened our senses to the supernatural. We have a divine authority given to us by God himself. Because greater is He who is in you than him that lives in the world. We have the revelation of the present times, we know and have learned from our past. Today is the tomorrow we prayed for yesterday. This is what developing our sixth sense is. To know what God has bestowed on us with His Divine Authority and that we carry inside the Resurrection Power. We no longer live but Christ lives within us. So my dear sisters let go and let God. Praying for you all. May 2018 S♥️BG

The Year Our World Changed.

The year our world changed. Christ.Over.Virus & Infection.Disease Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous Do not be frightened, And do not be dismayed For the Lord your God is With you whenever you go” This was the first off many scriptures the Lord gave me when this pandemic started. I was taken out off work 3/20/2020. I was in the process of writing “My personal walk to Gethsemane,coming face to face with self and life in this current world.” Preparation for Passover. Everything around me was changing. The words that where coming out off the news; Pandemic-an outbreaks affecting an exceptional high proportion of the population Lockdown- people must stay where they are Isolation- separated from others. Well plan strategically, powerful and effective. That my opinion off it. Little by little I whiteness how our states were closing down to prevent the spread off it. I asked the Lord what I am do to. Saturated your self with my word. Anchor yourself to the scriptures. Saturated-holding as much water or moisture as can be, absorb; throughly, soaked. God has been preparing his people for a long time. It is writing on Amos 3:7 “The Lord God will do nothing without reveling his secrets to his servants the prophets”. He has been talking. But we had been too busy, distracted, overwhelmed, tired, to even pay attention. Until now. I walked outside and I came face to face with panic, fear, greed. People running around over buying groceries. C’mmm to run out off paper toilet. Hundreds of people at the supermarkets, I came in to buy some chicken am I find this little old lady confused because she need it a whole chicken in order to make her soups. Scare, alone...talking to herself. I said to her, you be fine sometimes we had to learn different ways to make the same thing, took my time to explain how she could still make her soups without the whole chicken. For one second her fears left her. I walked away knowing in my heart; The world the way we knew it’s never coming back. But Jesus Chris is. Hopefully we had learn, prepared and able to recognize the trick of the enemy. We ought to be vigilant and ready. For we are living very darks days. let this be a lesson for all of us to learn.

Rejoice

definition: -show great joy and delight -jubilation -triumph -joyfulness Re-concerning, regarding Joy- great pleasure and happiness Rejoice is been able to look at situations around you and know without a shadow of a doubt and in your heart that God got it. If is happening is because The Lord had allowed and he knows you could handle it, and you will learn from it. No matter how it may look in the natural, no matter if it doesn’t make sense; specially if it doesn’t make sense. You don’t let anything or anyone to steal your peace and your joy. In the mist of all you raised up a hallelujah for the Lord. When we learn how to honestly rejoice in the Lord it changes our posture, it changes in how your see the situation, our attitude changes and even our behavior improves; because we had kept our focus, we had learn to discipline ourselves and we had stood our ground. So today put on Jesus. Put a smile on, and don’t give the enemy a foothold. For what the enemy has ment for wrong our Lord is using it for His glory. Don't lose heart for outwardly we are been crushed but inwardly we are been renewed. It's an important and necessary lesson we are learning. So my dear, cry if you had to. Express yourself to The Lord, ask questions, guard your heart, mind, and emotions, and play some good old worship music. Lift up your hands to our Lord and rejoice. For the joy of the Lord is your strength. Psalm 30:11 “You turn my wailing in to dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothe me with joy” so Rejoice in the Lord always. Romans 5:2b “We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God” Ivette Diaz-Yee 12/2021 Finishing Strong sisterlovedbygod.net
