What Are Your Intentions?

The Lord has really been impressing upon me lately that my intentions need to be in the right place.

He has also been teaching me to praise him regardless of the circumstances around me.

As I have meditated on these two things, I have come to realize how much they are related. They both bring glory to God, and the both demonstrate that He is first in my life.

I believe, now more than ever, that God’s intention for my family is to have nothing but the best. He wants us to be in good health. He wants us to have good finances, and he wants us to enjoy the best that life has to offer.

I know why he wants these things for me. It is the same reason why I want my children to live a good life. No one wants to see their children struggle, but what I am starting to understand is that it is much more than just living a good life.

God has recently taught me that it is not possible to fully walk in His will if I am concerned with the things of this Earth.

Do you think that Pastor Keith Moore worries about how his bills are going to get paid? Do you think Pastor Kenneth Hagan worried about his health or what the people around him were up to?

Not only are the concerns of the world a hindrance to a person’s spiritual walk, but a person cannot tangible full-fill their call. If a person were to be called to be an oversees missionary, how would they be able to do so if they were struggling with their health or their finances. God wants us to be free from those worries so that when He calls us for the Kingdom we don’t have to worry about worldly affairs. Without hesitation, we are able to believe God and act.

Everyone desires good health, financial freedom, and a worry free life, but why should we desire those things?

According to the Bible, we should desire the will of God.

The will of God is also for us to have good health, financial freedom, and a worry free life so that we can be ready to act when called.

I used to want good health because I did not want to go to the doctor, and I don’t like not feeling good. I used to want financial freedom because I wanted to be able to purchase what I want when I want and go where I want when I want.

My prayer has now changed from obtaining these worldly things to: number one; believing and thanking God for them, and number two; asking God to change my heart so that the reason I desire these things is so I may praise Him, honor Him, and give Him all the glory.

I can be living what seems to be the greatest life there is, but if I am not honoring God, it is pointless. There is one thing that I know for sure. The reasons that I use to have did not bring me a blessing that I cannot contain, and until I have received a blessing that I cannot contain, I am falling short of where I need to be. And until I receive a blessing I cannot contain, I cannot be the blessing to others that God wants me to be.

No One In The World Is Good







No one in the world is good.
Making such a statement does not imply that one is bitter or jaded. It simply means that the only good thing that exists does not dwell in this physical world but rather in the spirit world.

He is a spirit, and his name is God.
He is an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent being that can be challenged by none other. He is a loving God that has no limitations. In fact, God's goodness is more than t
he mind can understand and is only limited by one's capacity to receive.


God is not a Greek mythical creature that is out-dated and out-of-touch. He loves everyone very much and calls everyone his friend and heir.


God wants to bless everyone in all aspects of a life, just as He has so powerfully blessed my family.

My father has always been a very healthy individual who never had a need for a doctor. However, when he began to experience symptoms of immense bleeding, he took one of his first trips to the emergency room. The doctors diagnosed him with an incurable, fatal disease. Its name was terminal colon cancer. My family went to war not with the vicious illness that has taken an innumerable number of lives; but rather, we fought Satan.

Ephesians 6:12 states, "For we wrestle not against flesh an
d blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

We did precisely this. However, we did not fight alone. We had the most powerful spiritual warfare weapon that a Christian has at his disposal-God's goodness. God was good throughout the entire experience. When my father was diagnosed, God was good. We all had more peace in our lives than ever before. When my father underwent chemotherapy treatment, he did not experience one negative side-affect that so often plagues this form of treatment. When my father was healed, God was good. He healed my father of that wicked illness, leaving the medical staff at the hospital befuddled. We grew spiritually to a point that we h
ad not previously been.


What Satan meant for bad, God made good.

God provides mental growth and restoration for everyone that receives it.
In 2 Timothy 1:7, the Bible informs, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

So many people live miserable lives filled with fear and depression. When this verse uses the word "us", it is referring simply to those that are believers in God.
Bipolar disease, schizophrenia, and depression are not in the vocabulary of Christians unless it involves a testimony. We are freed from such entrapments by the goodness of God. People are also gifted with supreme cognitive abilities if they simply believe in God's promise.



This verse also entirely extinguishes fear of anything, anything at all. This includes but is never limited to the fear of heights, dark, rejection, failure, or anything that is not in God's kingdom.

Most of all, God loves you.

This is the single best thing that could ever be done for humanity. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for everyone's sins.

Now, if one accepts Jesus into his heart, that person may enjoy all the benefits of God's kingdom.

Trade your carnal life for eternal life and the citizenship of the kingdom of pain and darkness for the Kingdom of life and love.

This is a simple decision that Romans 10:9-10 explains very clearly by stating, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

God loves you and wants you to be part of His kingdom.

Women's Bible Study For Chapter 3

Women Motivated 4 L.I.F.E.
Our Covenant with God
Part 3 of 6

Reading Assignment: Our Covenant with God, Chapter 3, “The Curse of the Law”

Memory Verse: “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us it is written. Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” Galatians 3:13-14

MP3 Teaching: The Forgotten Weapon – Darlene Bishop, Solid Rock Church, Part 5 and 6
The Blood Speaks – Pastor Sam Hinn, Part 1

Declaration: I choose to believe the Word of God. I will not harden my heart to unbelief, but mix faith with His Word and receive the promises of my inheritance. Because of blood covenant, I abide and prosper under the Blessing. My Heavenly Father, keeps His Word and will not break his covenant with me. Jesus became the curse for me, therefore under the new covenant no curses can come near me, my marriage, my children, my health, my finances, my ____________. No weapon of the enemy will prosper against me, because I overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of my testimony.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.



From the Lecture

What does “covenant” mean?


Explain Ephesians 2:11-13 and how that affects us in this world.




What key role does “unbelief” play in receiving the promises within our covenant?




What do the birds of prey represent in Genesis 15:11? What buzzards are swooping in on your covenant?




Name some similarities between ancient covenant practices, covenant with God through Jesus Christ and marriage covenant?





Explain the word Hesed.




What did you learn from the MP3 teaching?






From the Reading

1) Under the Abrahamic Covenant, if a man refused to obey the law that would bring the blessing what was the result?


2) Since, Satan was already cast down before man actually fell, we can determine that the curse was already present, but why did it not prosper against mankind?


3) What does Joshua tell us about “standing in the middle” in Joshua 24:15?



4) What did God tell Abraham to do in Genesis 17:1 which would guarantee protection from the curses?



5) List the things which fell under the curse in Deuteronomy 28:15-68.








Personal Reflection

Can you relate to any of the curses mentioned in Deuteronomy 28:15-19? Do you see any of them prospering in your life? Mention them below.





Good News!! Reread our memory verse, Galatians 3:13-14, and ask the Spirit to give you revelation of it. Declare it, and keep declaring it to yourself, your situation and the devil that this curse can no longer prosper against you, because Jesus became the curse for you! Hallelujah!!!!
