WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT DR. PROPHETESS, RHEA DOSWELL

---

     Hope is an element and substance that we live by as believers that allows us to place our trust in God and His Word, regardless of our

situations, because of His unending faithfulness that He can never fail because failure isn't apart of His DNA. The truth of the matter is, hope is challenged in any person, who has confronted year and year of failures, which makes the heart sick. 

   When you feel like your loosing hope, cry out to God and those around you who are support systems. Remind God of the promises He made in His Word. Be honest. Ask God in the areas you lack hope, are there any decisions you have made that leads to hopelessness, then wait for His response as the Holy Spirit leads and comforts you, as He begins the healing process of your heart that has been hurt. As believers exercise your spiritual authority when Satan attacks you with hopelessness, by speaking Gods Word over your situations, believing for a turn around in the name of Jesus.

Proverbs 13:12 NIV

Prayer is easier than what most people make it out to be, when its approached in a non religious format because its an open communication channel between us and God, that requires sincerity.  Often I have discovered that when we insist on having our way in prayer, or how we were taught to pray traditionally, it becomes stressful and complicated. causing us to feel angry or displaying moments of anxiety when things don't' always go as expected. 

     When we learn to pray Gods Will of binding, loosing, decreeing or declaring for our situations, as we apply His Word over our request, there is a heavy load lifted, because we understand that God honors His own Word, to perform  and see to it that it does exactly what He intends for it to do, which is the best out come in all prayer request, as God reveals our hearts, motives and even areas of weakness we need to address, as He works out the details that surround our prayer request.

James 5:16 KJV

Have you ever walked into a room and everyone was cheering a person on for their accomplishments, yet many in the same room couldn't fathom the endurance of pain or sacrifice the individual made, in order to reach their goal!  We must remove this quick fix, speed process mentality, that causes believers to become deceived about over night success.

   As believers, we must embrace endurance, which means some days are going to be more challenging than others; some days are going to feel as if God abandoned us, along with the assignments He gave us, however we must remind ourselves of the promises God made to us, that allow perseverance to have its way in  each our lives, developing our character to reflect who Christ was on the earth, that will handle the promise when it does arrive so we don't error in our ways.

Ephesians 6:18 NIV 

     The bible says faith is the substance of things hoped for, thou evident not yet seen, which  is true. One lesson I have learned over my 37 year journey in Christ was, real faith is not developed by me watching everyone else's life take off, while mine is stagnated; real faith is developed when I allow myself to believe what Gods Word says about me, regardless of satanic opposition or circumstantial and financial set backs why; we must remember as we walk out the journey of faith there are promises that God made to all of us, even personal prophecies which motivates us to continue to seek the Holy Spirit as to what role we play in bringing those prophecies to life and to simply take one step at a time, until it becomes our reality. Real faith causes us to become even more creative, seeking out further development or training so we are excellent in all our ways. Remember our steps of faith lead to establishing legacy, that will transform generations to come and that is worth fighting for. Hebrews 11:1 NIV

   It took me years to understand that no matter how prophetic we are, or how much we know about the Word of God, or even if God visits us in dreams and visions, when we lack the love of God in our ministries or spiritual gifts as we serve others, there is no power or demonstration released from God, because without faith, hope and love people aren't transformed into the image Christ desires them to be in. 

   We must keep examining our hearts for the love factor, dealing with our own wounds and hurt within ourselves, which affects our relationship with the Lord, yet also for the people we serve, starting with our families. Love confronts, affirms, comforts, corrects and exposés at times, but in the end it leads us to a more defined image of who Christ as we become healed so we can walk in love. Let us strive, even when we make mistakes to walk in Gods love towards ourselves and others, which is the greatest example we can display as believers.

Corinthians 13:4-8 ESV

God is supernatural and the beauty and power He displays we could never figure it out entirely. He created man out of the dirt that replenishes the trees on our planet, yet He numbered each star in the galaxy, filling every ocean with water s that go as far as thousands feet deep. There is none like Him in all the earth. He has Angels that surround not only His Kingdome, but watches over us on earth, in order that His will is fulfilled in our lives. I have had many encounters with the supernatural from hearing Gods voice audibly, to encounters with angels, even demonic entities, to see what was waring against me. I have traveled from one state to the next, even in our planet through dreams and visions, and oh what supernatural encounters they have been, which has increased my faith in God and His Word.

     If you find you aren't experiencing the supernatural power and demonstration of who God is, I want to challenge you today to ask Him to visit you in the most supernatural way. He desires that you know Him beyond your traditions, or what others have encountered. All He needs is one ounce of your faith and a desire to see Him address a situation in your life, even if its your own UN belief.

 Joel 2:28-32 KJV
