I never cease to be amazed by those that the Lord continues to bring to Cornerstone. I am so blessed by the quality of spiritual leadership. It came to my attention that Susan Hawkins has had an inspirational blog for the last few years called “Open Eyes Ministry” on both the Web and on FaceBook. I encourage you to check it out. The following is the latest blog from Susan. God enrich you as you read it.
“May you know the Truth for the Truth will set you free. Free from what you say?
1 John 5:4 (ESV)4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
Free from tyranny, from the oppression of the enemy and all his plans and schemes. Can you really have freedom in this life from his plots and plans? Yes. You must wash in the water of the Word and stay in the shadow of the Almighty. In this place, you will find freedom and open pastures in which to roam. Don’t believe for one minute that I am not in full control of all that happens to you but you must take your stand and be fully armed against his wiles.
Isaiah 61:1 (ESV)
61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;
he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound
When My Spirit pours forth on this generation it will become a warring army for Me and many will come to know My ways and My love for them.
It is imperative that you are suited up and ready beforehand so you can guide them to the safe haven of My arms. So many will be shocked and horrified at the events to come but not you, My child for you have been forewarned and prepared by My Spirit. Even if you see things that will unnerve you it will not topple you. Your heart is with Me and your mind is Mine and it is covered in the Blood of Christ.
Ephesians 6:10-18 (ESV)
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 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. 13 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. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 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,
Listen pilgrims this journey is not what you expected and I know that the generations before you would not have been fit for it. You on the other hand are ready for battle and have been consuming the fortification of My Word.
You are the ones who will fight with the weaponry given to you by My Spirit and will not back down. It is for freedom I set you free and you will stay free and help others to be free. No matter the cost do not lay down your weaponry but stand firm and see the devil flee.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (ESV)
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,
I am coming soon and with Me a powerful move of My Spirit like never before seen. It is unprecedented. Will you bow before Me church and let Me crown you with glory and honor?
Knights of the Kingdom and dubbed with the Spirit of the Living God you will conquer your foe and be victorious in the earth for I have deemed it so.
1 John 5:3-4. (ESV)
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”
