I woke up this morning with a word on my heart specifically for the faithful remnant who serve our Lord with sincere hearts and who have laid down their own will to see God’s will fulfilled on this earth.
“In this world you WILL have many troubles, but remember that My Spirit lives in you and I have overcome the world. Don’t allow your perception to become distorted by the troubles and trials that come your way. Keep your eyes and your heart focused on the promises that I have given you. You know what those promises are because I have engraved them in your mind and in your heart. I’ve given you visions and dreams that will most certainly come to pass in due season, but you have got to keep standing, even though the vision tarries you must continue to wait on it.
All I want you to do is stand! Stand strong in the truth of My Word! Stand strong in My Spirit and in My might! Do not do anything in your own strength. It is by My Power and by My Spirit that you will be able to keep standing strong until the end.
There will be attacks in your life and on the life of your family because I have destined you for great things. I will use you to tear down strongholds and to speak the Truth in others lives. Once you served the enemy and he used to use you to destroy other’s lives, to influence them, to hinder them, and to keep them in bondage. But today you serve the Most High God! Today you are more than conqueror because of My Spirit that lives in you. Know who you are! You are Mine! You are a child of the Most High God! You are full of My love, compassion, and My Spirit. I will allow you to see things and hear things through My eyes and My ears so that you will learn to love the way that I do. It is not impossible IF you continue to surrender your will for Mine.
Do not allow compromise to creep into to your heart. Compromise is a terrible parasite that will consume you if you give into it. Stand for Truth at all times. Do what is right, what My Word says at all times, especially in your homes. This is where compromise will try to have its way first. It is what will tear your family apart. So beware!
The enemy will not easily give up on you, so stay alert but do not fear because I am greater than any spirit that comes against you. Continue to abide in Me, in My Word. Many of my children are in great turmoil because they do not abide in My Word. They are being destroyed for lack of knowledge and understanding of My will for their lives. They are drawn away by foolish teachings and philosophies because they do not recognize my voice and do not know My Word. They are drawn away by their own selfish and sinful desires because they are lacking in understanding of My Word. My Word is what is needed to overcome the attacks of the enemy. My Word needs to be spoken in faith over every situation, problem, concern, attack, trial, and victory. My Word is what never returns void and stands forever after everything else has gone. It is Everlasting, Faithful, and True. It is in my Word that you must stand firm in.
I understand that you will get tired. I see you when you are drained and overcome by your emotions, but don’t allow yourself to be lead by them. Be lead always by My Spirit. Don’t give up on those that I have given you to watch over and intercede for. Be patient with them and longsuffering. It pleases me when you suffer for good. When you lay down your own will and life for others then you can be called My servant. Remember that a servant is not greater than His master, just as I have done so you must do.
I will come to when you are weak and I will be your strength so you can continue to stand strong. I will be your shield and your fortress as you keep pressing forward. I will be your Source of power and hope. Stand no matter what! Don’t give up! I have already won the war for you, just continue to stand strong in Me and you will see that your labor is not in vain. I love you and am with you always!”

I got up this morning drained just drained with emotion. This week has been the week of fighting battles and YES it is exhausting. Your article is exactly what I'm sure all of us feel. Sometimes the battles can be so difficult people may second guess how strong their faith really is. When you write these Wonderful articles, it just puts everything back into perspective. What a Great Way to start the Day :-) You have such an Awesome gift Lisa and I am truly blessed to have you in my life. I love you...your sister Vicky
Thank you so much Vicky. That was a sweet comment. I am always so blessed to know that God has used me to help someone else. I spent so many years hurting myself, others, and most of all God. Now I want to live the rest of my life here serving Jesus and others with the giftings that our Lord has given me. I love u!
hello lisa I have read your words on my blogs but only at this point. So you think JW are false prophets? A lot of people say that but i suggest you read my blogs and see to it whether they are false prophets.
pls vist my site at

Jesus is the son of God. - John 20:31
Jesus is subordinate to Jehovah - John 14:28, 1 Corinthians 11:3; 1 Peter 1:3
please read my articles entitled "Future Rulers of the World - Who Are They?", the Divine Name and also the comments. and also other articles which teaches the beliefs of JW.
Thank you so much and God bless! This really helped me. Please pray for me.
Yesterday I finally decided to leave a very abusive relationship. Last night was just so horrible for me. I had to run out of my home for safety and I was so confused not knowing if I should stay and be patient waiting on God and hoping my partner will change. But then I realized that God does not want this for me. There are times when u need to realize when someone will not change and doesnt REALLY want help. This is so hard but I'm just hoping I can get through this.
Thank you for your prayers and all these beautiful words of hope and encouragement.

wow...that's powerful. Once again I see the Holy Spirit speak through you and I'm humbled by Him and by His gifts in you. Thanks for being His willing vessel and praise our Lord and Savior Jesus!
All glory be to God sister..This was a Word that ministered to my heart greatly. I love how the Holy Spirit speaks to us if we will just listen. I am humbled too to be used by Him.
Multipleman..Thanks for stopping by Consecrated To Him and for taking the time out to comment.I do not remember going to your blog. If so that had to be a long awhile ago. I have seen your comments on my brother's Ambassador of Truth's blog and perhaps commented there.
As far as JW's being false prophets...well yes. I do believe that the teachings of JW's are false and do not line up with Scripture. The bible produced by the WatchTower is manipulated to take away Jesus divinity. To minimize it..It twists the Word of God. Woe to those who are responsible for this teaching and for those who teach this false doctrine. Our God is not mocked.
I think those under the teaching of the JW's are just blinded by the enemy. I believe that if they were to truly ask God to reveal the Truth to them He will because it is not His will that any should perish.
Thanks again for stopping by..I hope you find Consecrated To Him to be edifying. You are in my prayers brother..
MultipleMan, I am glad to see that you still visit our blogs; however I wonder why you stopped publishing my comments on your blog. It seems that when I began to provide hard core evidence regarding the inconsistencies with the Watchtower Doctrine (especially the NWT Bible translation) you choose no longer to publish my comments. Therefore in love, praying that the truth of the Gospel will permeate the years of Biblical blasphemy that the Watchtower has spoon fed you, I will answer this comment for my sister in Christ....
I first want to ask you a question...
Do you believe that we should examine the scriptures to determine if things we are told are of God or not? I have to believe that you do, since you use areas and pieces of scripture (emphasis on areas and pieces) to defend your beliefs. So I will answer that yes for you!!
Therefore here is scripture for you to examine, i will give you both the OT and NT so there is no confusion, I can go on for days about this but I will provide you what I think cannot be misunderstood or denied:
Before you read these I ask you to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit to help decipher whether what I am prophesying to you is of God or not!!!!
---I AM----
(Exodus 3:14)- God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM' has sent me to you.
(John 8:58)- "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"
--Immanuel/Emmanuel--
Isaiah 7:14)- Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel.
(Matthew 1:22)- All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" - which means, "God with us."
-Alpha/Omega (First/Last)-
(Isaiah 44:6)-"This is what the Lord says - Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God."
(Revelation 22:12-13)-"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
In Revelation 1:7-8, the Lord God (Jehovah) states He is the Alpha and Omega. Yet in that same verse the speaker, God (Jehovah), says He was pierced. Who was it that was actually pierced? Jesus. In Revelation 22:12-20 it is Jesus who claims He is the Alpha and Omega. In Isaiah 48:12 and 44:6 God, Jehovah says He is the first and the last. Yet again in Revelation 2:8, Jesus says He is the first and the last. Finally, Both God, Jehovah, and Jesus are described as "coming soon"
-THE SCRIPTURES CONFIRM-
(John 5:39-40)- "You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
(John 5:46)- If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.
In the Old Testament, Moses was clearly writing about The Lord God (Jehovah). Yet Jesus clearly states Moses was writing about himself.

Continued from previous comment, response to multipleman
JESUS CLAIMS HIMSELF TO BE GOD (and according to what you believe Jesus is an Angel, correct? in fact Michael the Archangel, can or better yet should Michael lie)
When Philip asked Jesus, "show us the Father..." Jesus replied...
(John 14:9)- "Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father."
(John 20:28)- Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus did not rebuke him
(John 10:30)- I and the Father are one...
JESUS IS THE CREATOR
(Colossians 1:15-17)- He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
(Isaiah 44:24)- "This is what the Lord says - your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb; I am the Lord, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself...
(Genesis 1:1)- In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Clearly in Genesis, we are told God is the Creator. However in Colossians, clearly Jesus is identified as the Creator. Also note in Gen. 1:26, God refers to us
(John 1:1)- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God
(John 1:14-18)-And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory
Brother Multipleman aka From the Sun Rising: the scriptures clearly testify that Jesus and the Father God Jehovah are one. For you to claim this is not so after seeing the above scriptures would testify that you are not a student of the Bible examining everything to the scripture, but rather a follower of a "religious (i say this in love with true concern for your salvation) cult" not allowing the spirit to illuminate and enlighten you on the things of God but rather without concerns digesting everything that is spoon fed to you by man..
The scriptures bear abundant testimony that Jesus Christ is God. Some people will say to me, You take the Bible literally and I answer, Yes, I believe the Bible 100%. It is the word of God. If you don't believe it, Jesus is of no effect to you, and you remain in your sins.
I pray that as you read these verses and examine them that the Holy Spirit begins to stir inside of you so much that you can no longer deny the Deity of Jesus Christ. That you seek with a broken and contrite heart repentance and forgiveness of your continued blasphemy regarding Jesus as Lord and that you come to know the Love of God, the Love that gave His only begotten Son to die for mankind!
"In His Holy Pierced Hands"
Ambassador Of Truth aka...
A New Me!!!
I'm sorry Deborah that I have not responded sooner. Sometimes my email and social networking become a little overwhelming and I lose track of where I was at. Going to take a much needed break this next week to regroup. lol..
You are right..it is not God's will for you to be in a terrible abusive relationship. You will get through this though. Just keep your eyes on Jesus and renew your mind with the Word of God. It is truly the answer for everything. It has everything we need in it to make it through this world and it's problems, tests, and trials. Don't allow anything to keep you/distract you from spending time with Him. If you are lacking in communion with Him you will most certainly be weak and easier pray for the enemy of our faith. Be strong sister in the Lord. I will be praying for you.
I love your blog and always encourged. I have being going through a lot this year in college. I find myself so busy at times and it can be so easy to run and hide from everything and everyone. Im staring to see why God said "no not now" to join We Used 2 Be, because I would be busy and would be going through some things and I just need to use this time to get close to Him. I am so happy that I listen to Him and obeyed Him. I have so many feelings inside with me and all I want to do now is surrender all to Him and trust Him. I have nowhere to go but to Him. I want to stay alert and trust Him. I just want to learn what God wants me to learn in this time of struggle. Thanks for this post.
