  • Don’t Settle! GO BIG!

    Happy Friday!

    This morning I was looking at my calendar from last year. I remember going into 2019 with a Word from God that 2019 was a year of change. Change at the end of the year that would look nothing like the beginning of the year. Did He come through? Yes!

    Not just for me, but for so many of you as well. I don’t think that He is done!

    As I prayed for this New Year, I felt that He was telling me that this year would be a year of vision. I mean grasping on to the vision and making it OURS. Living the vision that has long been on our hearts. Seeing things that we set on the shelf for far too long. Speaking the vision that was impressed upon us a long, long time ago. Getting new, fresh visions and running with them.

    This means that this year is a year to GO BIG!  Not settling for less. Not settling for little. Not settling for little things. This means that we don’t even settle for our last big successes, even if that success was world-changing and history making.

    My friends, we are in a season that demands that we leave behind all self-imposed lids and limitations. In this season, we expose and leave all of the lies behind. This season demands that we refuse to settle for anything less than everything that Christ Jesus died to give us.

    As Christians, we have the power of the entire God-head that has come to dwell within us.

    Think for a moment about what that means!

    The God Who created the whole vast universe. The God Who created and knows every single atom. The God Who was there at the beginning and will be there at the end. The all-powerful, all-knowing God.

    He chose to dwell inside of us – to tabernacle with us during our journey. He chose to make a way for us to not only have personal victory over sin and death, but to have the power and authority direct from Him to take that out to our world in our every day. That power is placed within us to enable us to live lives that are victorious in all things, moving forward at all times taking back all of the territory the enemy has stolen from the Kingdom of God, ruling as a child of the King, subduing and taking dominion of this world.

    It’s time!

    It’s time to rise up! It’s time to focus on the mark we are to run to. It’s time to cast aside everything that distracts, hinders, and holds back from running the race victoriously. It’s time to step up to the call! Its time to be life-changers, history-makers! It’s time for BIG! Get the vision! Get 2020 clear vision!

    Let’s do it!

    With much love,

    Cindy

  • Your Wounds are Weapons!

    Cindy Gunter RushtonTired? Battle-weary? Broken? Wounded?

    Beloved…I have very good news for you!

    This is not your position!

    This is not your identity!

    Soak that in…

    You are a mighty warrior! You are a victor! Your wounds are your weapons. What the enemy intended for your harm is actually the very thing the Lord uses for your good. Those very “hits” are not your identity but weapons you will use to set captives free!

    Those heartaches, losses, disappointments, struggles, messes are all turning today. They are turning into beautiful weapons–like arrows in your quiver. That pain is turning into wisdom that can be shot forth to bring hope and healing. That lack is turning today into a testimony of God’s faithfulness and miraculous provision that can zone in to the soul in deep need of “a way”. The dryness, parch-ness, burn-out, brokenness, and weariness are turning today into wells that never run dry and a river that flows out in overflow, bringing an arrow of refreshing into the longing heart. That emptiness, loneliness, and betrayal are becoming beautiful and powerful arrows shooting forth great love and satisfying relationship with God, self, and others. Those lies, accusations, doubts, fears that were hurled your way are transforming before your very eyes to become weapons sending forth truth, wisdom, and prophesy. Even the momentary death of your dreams is turning into an arrow sending forth abundant, full, lavish, intentional, and purposeful life. Everything… EVERYTHING

    … every single weapon used against you is turning today into your arsenal of weapons.

    Felt a heaviness from all of the hits?

    Feel like you are standing in the midst of a huge pile of arrows that have been fired into your life??

    Today is the day to gather those arrows and lay them at the feet of Jesus. You are not intended to carry around all of that heaviness. You are destined for so much more!!

    It’s time to “yoke up” with Jesus and turn all of those into your weapons and arrows! It’s time to let Him transform those arrows and fill your quiver full of weapons of defense and offense–you are made for battle! You are a might warrior! You cannot lose!! No weapon formed against you can prosper! Every single hit from your childhood is before you and beckoning you to step up as a mighty warrior and pick up those arrows as your own weapon so you can fight the good fight! Your arrows will set the captives free! Your arrows will protect you from the enemy–they are your weapons for protection! Those arrows are in your quiver to assist you in taking back the captives for the Kingdom of God and setting them free!!

    Today, gather those arrows! Offer them up. Let them all go. Refuse today to be a victim. Refuse to stay in captivity! Refuse to be a prisoner of war. Today, get back up!!

    I declare that you are a mighty warrior! I declare that these weapons are now your arrows that you will use to bring Jehovah’s freedom to the culture. These arrows intended for your harm are now your testimonies of healing, sustenance, provision, wisdom, love, comfort, transformation, relationship, freedom, purpose, and calling. Be aware of the schemes of the enemy but don’t miss the greatest truth–he is under your feet! He is defeated! You ARE a victor! You ARE an overcomer!! This is your position! It is not one day or someday. It is your position and your identity TODAY!

    Rise up mighty warrior!!
