I Saw A Drum: "Lead the Nations to ME!" by Victoria Boyson

www.victoriaboyson.com

In the Spirit, I saw a very large, ancient tribal-drum. Draped in animal hide and fastened with strips of leather securing it around its edges, it stood about five feet tall and as wide as it was tall.

Beaten by invisible hands holding large wooden sticks engraved with unrecognizable symbols, gigantic  wooden drum tips wrapped in leather struck it again and again. The sound it made filled the atmosphere and seemed to demand attention from every living creature around.

On the drum was what looked like pieces of an enormous puzzle scattered across its surface. I understood that each puzzle piece represented different aspects of Christianity from all races and demographics of society. I saw Catholic pieces, Lutheran pieces, Pentecostal pieces, Word of Faith pieces, etc. People from ALL different types of faiths in Christ were represented.

As the drum sticks beat down on the drum, the pieces of the puzzle jumped and flew into the air. It soon became clear to me that, although it seemed like the beating of the drum brought chaos, there was actually a grand design being created through it.

When the pieces jumped, they flew and banged against each other. This damaged some of them, but not badly; inevitably, it just made them more pliable. The pieces screamed out in fear because they did not understand what was happening. But, in time, they ceased because they were tired of screaming and fearing. Instead, they actually began to enjoy it.

Eventually for some, those pieces (people) different from them, which they'd previously feared, became friends and comrades, because they'd experienced the shaking together. The lines of doctrine and philosophy seemed to fade into the background with every strike against the leather as Jesus became more prominent in each heart.

I saw the puzzle was beginning to take on a new shape. All the pieces that previously looked like they could never work together, did somehow.

Then, I saw all around the drum were Native Americans. They were dancing around it and crying out to God. They had dirty, tear-stained faces because they were giving birth to something in the Spirit realm.

They cried to heaven and wailed to the Father, "Bring us together, Father! Make us one with your SON!"

I watched as they they picked up handfuls of dirt of their native soil and held it up to God as an offering and dedicated it to Him. They would say to Him, "You gave us this land, Father, but now we give it back to YOU!"

So, I cried with my people, saying "Bring us all together, Father! Make us one in your SON!"

Lead Them to ME!
Then the Father spoke to me and said, "MY Native American sons and daughters, I call you out of hiding - I NEED YOU NOW!

"I will make you again the great warriors you once were, but this time you will fight for Me. You will call to Me to heal your land and I will hear you. You will call to all the nations of your land and you will unite them under the standard of My Son.

"Through Christ, in Christ and with Christ you will strengthen My people. As you lift up my Son, I will make you great and powerful again. I will make you, by far, much, much greater than you were in the past. You will make a new history for yourselves - a victorious history.

"Lift your heads up and look to My Son and LEAD the nations to ME!" says the Lord.

Small Percentage Does Not Disqualify
Recently, the Father kept speaking to me about my great-great-grandfather Henry Kaufman. He's a relative I know very little about, only that he was half Irish and half Native American. As a kid I always thought it was "cool" that I was related to him, which pleased my grandma a lot.

I have never considered myself Native American due to my overwhelming Scandinavian heritage, but God kept speaking to me again and again that the Native American people were truly my people. And even though I have only a small portion of their blood flowing through me, their heart is definitely with me.

So, as the Father was calling the Native Americans to arise and claim this land back for Him, He was also calling me and countless others like me who have even a small claim to it.

It doesn't matter how little Native American blood you have, to God there's no cut-off percentage like there may be with man. So many thousands have native heritage in their background. It is a blessing from God and we need to claim it as ours - there's power in it.

So, in Christ's name, I claim the heritage given to my ancestors hundreds of years ago. I claim the nation formed from their blood and from the blood of the Christians settlers who died to build it up and for those who fought for its safety for generations.

I stand for them and declare THIS LAND IS MY LAND AND I GIVE IT TO MY JESUS!!!

AMERICA SHALL BE A LIGHT TO THE NATIONS AND WE LEAD THE NATIONS TO JESUS, OUR MESSIAH AND KING!

I call to my native brothers and sisters and say: Rise up! God is calling you to ARISE! For such a time as this, He's held you for this hour. Call this nation back to Jesus! And you WILL see a VICTORY!
"Lift your heads up and look to My Son and LEAD the nations to ME!" says the Lord.

The Year of Restoration: Recover, Uncover and Restore by Victoria Boyson

www.victoriaboyson.com

2016 has been and will continue to be a year when God shows off!

It will be a year He begins to wipe away the stain and strain of the trials and tribulations of the season you've just come through. He wants to make a deep impression on your heart and convince you of the power and care He is capable of.

So often when you come through a tough season of trials, you can tend to pick up fear and unbelief that you are not even aware of. You may enter a situation and the old feelings of doubt seem to pull at your faith and your feelings toward the future become clouded and limited.

Our Father says, "This will be a season in which I will convince you of My power and My love for you!" He will wipe away the strain and make things easier. His hand on your life will be made very apparent, because He wants you to look to Him, turn to Him and walk more closely with Him. He's building your faith - the faith that moves mountains.

Why? So you can move mountains!

This is not a year to fear, it is a year to TRUST Him and watch Him RECOVER, UNCOVER and RESTORE. Things you had forgotten you'd lost will suddenly be recovered and returned to you. Things stolen will be returned. Ancestral promises that you didn't even know existed will begin to be fulfilled in your life. Not just for you, but to convince you that God is for you and with you - to restore your faith in Him.

God spoke this to me before 2016, and starting January 1st it seemed everyday something was restored to me. And, I want it ALL back!

Do you agree with me?

Do you want your peace back, your joy, your faith, love and health ALL BACK?!! Do you want your hopes and dreams ALL BACK?!! Your finances? Property? Everything the devil stole from you, declare its restoration to you - ten-fold!

And in return, make sure you give the enemy a bit of what he's tried to throw at you. I know I want to hear him say, "I sure wish I hadn't messed with her."

The Father tells me we can trust completely that He is in control. No matter how things look, how shakey things can appear, no matter what things look like... understand that God is in it. God has assured me that He will not be content with business as usual. He wants a revolution.

Watch as He uncovers evil and brings it to the attention of the world. He's uncovering things that have been hidden for some time. They've planned to undermine Him, and plan our destruction... BUT GOD! God has known about it all along, so do not despair, because HE IS THE ONE UNCOVERING IT.

He wants to start a revolution. It take alot to do that, so rejoice when it appears that the enemy has won and the church has been abandoned. God loves us and HE WILL NOT abandon us. Determine in your heart that no matter what you see, you will not fear, but you will stand with Him and TRUST in His plan for restoration to come to us.

God says, "I am in it! And when I am in it, I am in it to win it!"

No matter how things look, He will not stop until our enemy is completely uncovered and uprooted. He will not let things lay half done. He will complete the work He began in this world. He will shake it and the enemy will not even see it coming.

The Father has baited our enemy. He's made it seem to them that He does not see what they are doing. They are convinced they will get away with what they're trying to do, but it's all a trap. He wants to uncover the good in men's hearts. He wants justice, full, complete and reliable justice. And He wants vindication for the innocent. Justice is not complete with out vindication, is it?

He is invading every area of life: church, government and our hearts. He desires that we see and learn that even the impossible is possible with Him. He says, "You are Mine and I take care of My own."

He will uncover, recover and restore and it starts now. Anticipate the evidence of His hand on your life. Give Him your whole heart. Declare that He alone is your Lord and you take orders only from Him.

Walk boldly in increased vision and trust in Him. He is truly worthy of your trust.

You are bold, unstoppable, kingdom warriors!

You will take territory for Him and your heritage will be the spoils of the wars. You will climb mountains and destroy wickedness in high place, because your God is Who He's said He is and He can be trusted to work miracles through you!

Fear nothing - trust God!

This is only the beginning for you!

Beware of the Political Spirit - It's a Snare! by Victoria Boyson

www.victoriaboyson.com

Beware of the political spirit - all it wants is to get you to argue and debate. The enemy's goal is to get you mad. He doesn’t really care what you're mad about, he just wants you angry. But the Bible says, "Be angry and sin not," meaning there's a certain type of anger that you possess, but another that will possess you.

We have to be careful not to be caught up in the atmosphere of offense and anger that seems to get stronger every election season. It will spill over into every area of our lives until we are debating with people who actually agree with us.

The political spirit is sent to keep us at odds with each other and blind to our true enemy. One of its lies is to convince us that getting angry will solve our problems and the problems of the world. But James says in James 1:20, "Human anger does not produce the righteousness [or justice] God desires." We dare not assume that our anger is God's anger; there's a difference.

Our anger will not benefit anyone, but God's anger will. So, it's to HIM we turn, and it's our humble, heart-felt petitions that will turn Him to action. God does get angry, but when He does, our man-made kingdoms crumble.

So, don't get caught in the enemy's snare. You are too precious and important to the kingdom for that. Be bold in declaring truth, but always with redemption in mind.

Ask yourself, "What is my goal in what I am saying?" And then ask, "Is how I am responding to someone accomplishing my goal?" These are truths my mother taught me. When I've listen to them, they have saved me a lot of trouble.

James instructs us, "You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires. So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls" (James 1:19-21 NLT).

Anger usually makes us too quick to respond and we end up regretting what we say. If we cannot control our tongue, we will lose the war for mens' hearts. Too often when we are ensnared by the political spirit, we forget that our real goal in society is to win people to Christ.

We too easily loose sight of our real goals in life and our true enemy because we've become blinded by the political spirit. If it can keep us angry, our love will grow cold and then he has us. Then we are no longer soul winners, but we've become a political opponent.

Cold-love plus Christianity will turn quickly into a religious spirit "having a form of godliness but denying its power" (2 Timothy 2:5 NIV). This opens the door to all kinds of wickedness and convinces us we're a Christian with correct motives.

Army of Demons
Truly, the enemy is so ambitious to get us angry because he knows much more than we do the power of our words. The words you speak carry an assignment in the supernatural realm; heated words of anger or rage, contempt or division carry with them an ambassador of darkness that accompanies them toward their intended victim.

Once arrested by the prideful political spirit, we can literally start a fire of pain. Our tongue can unleash power, which all too often leads either to life or death.\

Picture with me an unscrupulous person, we'll call them Slander. Slander is terribly jealous of a friend. We'll call them Mercy. The demon of jealousy that's entered Slander's life has generated contempt and even hatred at times for their friend.

Speaking with another friend, let's call them Gullible, Slander unloads a whole load of gossip about Mercy. None of it's true, but that doesn't matter. With every contemptuous word spoken, a demon spirit is standing ready to carry those words to the next victim. For, words aren't just words, they contain power.

The Word of God says the power of either life or death is in the words spoken (Proverbs 18:11) and that spiritual power will accompany your words. Understand that a spiritual power is a spiritual force, and indeed, it is a spirit. So, when you speak words of anger, destruction, hatred, etc, that evil spiritual power (demon) will carry your words to their intended victim.

So, if Slander tells 5 people hateful lies about Mercy, that is 5 demons that have been released into the atmosphere. If those 5 people tell another 5 people that is another 25 demons and if they each tell 5 more, that would come to 130 demons released into the atmosphere.

You can easily see how this could multiply exponentially until you literally have created an army of demons released into the spirit-realm to over take, not just our friend, Mercy, who has suddenly become hopeless and depressed and doesn't know why, but also, it's important to understand that, once released, demon spirits are not subject to the will of man. They will affect the speakers and hearers alike. If you let them loose with your tongue, they will definitely take advantage of what you've done and generate darkness in your own life. And bitterness will consume more and more of your life.

I'm sure you've heard the phrase, "He who sups with the devil, should have a long spoon." Truly, if you open the door to the powers of darkness, you will get burned.

In James 3:5-6, it says, "In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself" (NLT).

David talked about this in Psalm 109:19-20. "Now may his curses return and cling to him like clothing; may they be tied around him like a belt. May those curses become the Lord’s punishment for my accusers who speak evil of me" (NLT).

The curses we unleash on others will return to us and the sentence we've imposed upon others will come back on our own lives.

BUT....
James also says, "For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way" (James 3:2 NLT). We can bless our own lives by our words as we send an assignment of blessing to others.

With our words, we can control the outcome of our lives as a "small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong" (James 3:4 NLT).

So, picture again Slander. They have now repented of how they treated their friend, Mercy, and, instead of cursing, they begin to bless them. Now their words are accompanied by a much different kind of Spirit - the Holy Spirit! And as they bless Mercy, their own life becomes overwhelmed by the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit suddenly wants to hang out with them a lot more and changes their life altogether. Now everyone calls them Blessing, because that's what they do with their life now and they are blessed because of it. And just as important, the enemy has lost a key player in his familiar war against the saints and the political spirit is dealt a heavy blow.

A Fence of Prayer
Be careful of offense. Just as your miracle approaches, the enemy will try to offend you. If he can derail you with offense, he can delay your miracle. Be careful of the enemy's lie that some people don't matter, therefore it is okay to curse them.

Instead of offense, put up a fence of prayer around your heart by praying Spirit-led prayers for them instead.

The Lord warned us to pray for our enemies - that is for our good as well as theirs. If you pray for your enemies who are cursing you, they will stop cursing you when God gets a hold of their hearts. Bless and do not curse, for this is the will of the Lord

Pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" Matthew 5:44 (ESV).

Love in Christ, Victoria

I Say to You, Breathtaking Bride, Advance! by Victoria Boyson

www.victoriaboyson.com

Imagine with me: you are in an American church. It is very large, fairly rich - successful by human standards. Yet, if we allow the Lord to transform our idea of the American dream into God’s dream, we would find it has little to do with marble columns, sound systems, instruments or carpet. But as God enters what is His house - as He is invited - wanted - hungered for - all becomes silent in His presence and all else is diminished in importance compared to Him.

As our Father invades and His presence comes in, the importance placed on unimportant things dims and the church, which He's dreamt of, takes shape. In His eyes, we are the glorious temple He longs for - we are the dream He dreams. As our vision changes from concern for the realization of our own dreams to putting His dream for His temple before ours, we shine for Him. We radiate His simple light that shines like no other light has ever shined in the world.

We are His holy temple, the temple He longs to dwell in. When He does, we will be transformed into His dream for the earth. As the realms of heaven invade the earth, you will be filled with the glory of heaven - transformed from an earthly being into a heavenly light that shines until it invades every earthly dark place. Aggressive in its advancement against the realms of Satan's domain, it breaks the chains of darkness on the minds of men with God's simple, yet powerful love.

You are made glorious in your aggressive advance and the world will take on a new hue of color as heaven meets earth through you. You become the dwelling place of God and you take Him and His presence with you everywhere you go! As you invade the territory of the enemy, it topples in your advance!

So, I say to you, Bride of Jesus - ADVANCE!

Advance into your hidden place with God - get on your knees before Him and fulfill His dream. He is what you need - He is your victory - He is your glory - He is your power - your success. You are His dream and the whole world is hungry for what you will become - the light of the Messiah. They're waiting for you to come and bring the light of Christ to their dark and troubled heart.

You keep looking and praying for a revival to hit a church or place, but God says to you, "My revival starts with you." He wants to bring His revival to your heart right now - transforming you through His glorious power. Don't look around to those you think He will use. Look inside your own heart and say, "Yes" to His glory. Say, "Yes" to your Papa God.

To God, you are revival - to Him, you are His success - to Him, you are His dream.

"Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God" Ephesians 3:17-19 NLT (emphasis mine).

The Father Loves to Provide for YOU! by Victoria Boyson

www.victoriaboyson.com

"So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son an forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding." Ephesians1:6-8 NLT

When I was young, I experienced a recurring dream. Repeatedly, I dreamt a very loving elderly man drove up to my home with a semi-truck trailer full of things just for me. I would look up into the trailer and see clothes, furniture and toys and even a bike all for me.

Then, the old man would tell me how much He loved me and that He wanted to take care of me. This was very comforting to me, because our family was very poor and we had very little. I'd always felt vulnerable due to the lack we experienced, and having someone meet my needs and say they wanted to take care of me was soothing to my heart.

I continued to have this dream even into my college years, and I know now this wonderful elderly man was my heavenly Father. Through the dream, He was showing me that He will provide everything I need and He would take care of me.

It's quite natural for a father to receive pleasure from providing for his children. So, it is even more so God's pleasure to take care of us in the natural and the supernatural. We have been provided for in both realms. He's given us His glorious grace and through grace we gain access to His heart for strength and provision - whatever we need. 

Our Father is, indeed, so rich in kindness and grace that He has more than enough for us and it's His great pleasure to meet our needs happily. Verse eight in the Scripture above says, "He has showered his kindness on us" and He has.

It's easy to read past these verses without thinking of what they really mean to us. He loved us, forgave us and adopted us as sons and daughters. He's poured out His "glorious grace" and given us all things to enjoy.

God said, "Only ask and I will given you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession" (Psalm 2:8).

As God pours out His grace on us, He demonstrates to the supernatural realms His great and unchangeable love toward us. He reveals all the factors of His character, strengthening our love for Him in order to keep us from evil.

He continues to generously pour out His character, love, and grace on us by increasing daily our wisdom and understanding in Him purposing to reveal His likeness in us. And He has promised to pour out ALL wisdom and understanding to us, all components of His grace revealing His character through us!

It is through us, the Father has chosen to reveal Himself, His character and His power; this is truly a risky choice, but, nonetheless, that's what He's chosen. It's our joy and responsibility to be like Him,and reveal not only to the world what He's really like, but even to the evil beings in the supernatural realm. Yes, even to our enemy God wants to reveal Himself through us.

Through His grace, He is showing the enemy: 1) How much He loves by loving us, 2) How much love He has, 3) How great and powerful He is by keeping us from Satan's hands, 4) He is revealing His character through the work He does in and through us, making us His trophies of grace.

Truly, the Father longs to show us how much we are loved in order to dispel the lies the enemy has thrown at us. The enemy has lied to us about ourselves and about God, but our Father fights continually to eradicate everyone of them. Sometimes the Father blesses us just to show us we truly are His.

Our Father will never give up on His creation, He will never let Satan win. God will never let us go. He is relentless in His pursuit and He will win!

What a Father!

Reclaim Your Soul - Reclaim Your Destiny by Victoria Boyson

www.victoriaboyson.com I've always thought what James teaches about our Christianity being worthless unless we control our tongue (James 1:26) was just a little too ambitious. Still, James is one of my favorite books of the Bible and one I've studied repeatedly. Yet, I felt recently that in my previous study, I had only scratched the surface of the value of the book of James. We embrace our Father with our words, we embrace faith with our words, we repel fear with our words, indeed, we embrace all the power in heaven with our words. There is very little we can do to affect the spirit realm that isn't done with our mouths, so naturally we need to learn the power of our tongue, amen? It is because we are made in the image of God that our mouths are so important. Truly, if we want to affect positive change in the world, we will do it through our tongue. Through the declaration of our mouth, we will, "Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand - to execute on them the judgment written; This is an honor for all His godly ones" Psalm 149:6&9. Our authority is in our declaration! James 3:1 says, "Not many should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be judged more strictly." He says this right before he talks about the power of our tongue, so naturally we are to understand that those who teach will be judged more strictly. But we will all bear the weight of the words we say. We will be judged by our own words, for they reveal what's in our heart. "Indeed," he continues, "we all make many mistakes. [But] if we could control our tongues we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way" James 3:2. So important is the work of the tongue that James says once we get control of IT, we've got control of ourselves in "every other way." We can consider this good news or bad. If we lose control of our tongue we will not have control of any other aspect of ourselves or, if we want to think more positively, once we take control of our mouth, we will have great authority to keep ourselves in check. The Father Meant for You to Reign in This Life!What a powerful tool the tongue can be for us! "We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong. In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches [takes credit for the work of the whole body] (James 3:3-5 NLT). Just the tiny little tongue can pilot a great ship even during a raging storm. How you choose to use your tongue can determine your life's course. But it is even more than a pilot; it is a great creator - it can create an abundant life for you or destroy your life's work. "But [it's true] a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself" James 3:6 (emphasis mine). Such a small thing can cause great harm or can liberate those bound in darkness! "For whatever is in your heart determines what you say" Matthew 12:34. Your tongue bears the fruit of the heart and harvests the seeds of thoughts you've allowed to root in your mind. The tongue is the sum of your life! All you've poured into your soul through movies, the Word or your actions towards others comes out through your tongue and becomes the fruit of your life. Powerful!   If we allow "hell" to establish its beliefs in our mind, it has the kindling to light a fire that could destroy a great forest. Sadly, I've seen this process. The demon offense comes to prime the mind to receive the lies of destruction. If the lies of the enemy are left unaddressed by the heart and Holy Spirit has not been allowed to govern the soul, there is almost nothing that is unimagined by the infected mind. Without repentance, the enemy has gained control of the tongue and will cause great destruction. It hurts to be lied about, but I would rather be slandered than be the slanderer. When a fire spreads, it brings destruction, but when the fire goes out there can be rebirth where destruction's ruined. But in the life and mind of a "fire starter," there's no break from the destructive lives and the more they spread, the darker their life becomes. The enemy will use them as often as he likes, because they've become little more than a tool to him now and extremely effective in harassing the saints. The enemy has no pity for its new toy and usually will harass their mind night and day with even more extravagant, devilish lies. I can't imagine anything more horrible. Except for maybe hell itself, nothing could be a more horrid place to be. Sometimes, when I talk to God about the life of such a one and of the destruction they are causing in the lives of others, He responds with such sadness and a heavy burden saying, "Apart of the penalty for their lies is the life they live" - it is torment of which they receive very little reprieve. As horrible as this sounds, we have to remember that any of us can become a fire starter; it only takes a spark. But, happily, any fire starter can find redemption. Truly! The tongue is powerful and we can easily dig a hole for ourselves with it, but if we do we can, by the grace of God, dig ourselves out with it as well. One declaration at a time! With a heart-felt prayer, our lives can take a new direction. We can conquer the demons who've lied to us and we can become a blessing. If our tongue can be powerfully destructive, it can also transform our lives, how we live and how we think of ourselves. For, "those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness" James 3:18. The seeds of peace are the words you speak! You harness great power when you put a bridle on your tongue, and what great power it is. What a great work it can do! It can make you an extraordinary warrior, triumphant and full of the peace and rest of heaven. Repent and Transform Your Life"If you are wise and understand God's ways, prove it by living an honorable life" James 3:13. Renew your minds daily, even hourly if that's what it takes - renew, rethink, and reform the thoughts of your mind. You've been given powerful wisdom in the Word to reform the way your mind works. Your faith is a gift - one you can build to become a powerful fire extinguisher. Re-create your life by releasing the truths of heaven through a bridled tongue and you will stave off the destructive powers of your life and suddenly you will have hope for your own future! You have the power to change the world! So, come humbly to your Father with a repentant heart and resist Satan's attempts to control your mind with the lies of hell. Submit yourselves to God and surrender your heart and ask Him for His grace to remake your mind - to reform your thinking and transform your life. It's only in submitting to the Father's will that we can hope to change. He knows what you need to capture your heart and transform your soul, so let Him have His way with you. He works only for your good; you can trust Him. What He takes away He will indeed restore, but it will be His life abundant with His kingdom benefits. Let Him love you and watch what love can do for you, surrender the thoughts in your mind, the hurts and offenses to His feet. Don't hold on to them, don't try to defend yourself or fight your own war - let Him fight for you. Lay it all at His feet as an offering to Him and you will be truly set free - stronger than iron! Become His LoveThe old you that clung to the worthless things in your life has got to go. Give Him to Jesus and watch how He will be transformed with new life. Your Father is transforming this world. He said, "I am making everything new!" (Revelations 21:5 NLT). That means you too! You Father loves you so much, and He wants to renew your life. For, He is "the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not" (Romans 4:17 NLT). Let Him reNEW your mind, destroying all the strongholds and cleaning out the cobwebs of your mind, pouring in His amazing love! You were truly created for His love. In a very small measure, the Father has revealed to me His great love for humanity. I have tried, but I cannot come up with a way to convey the depth of His love. All human words fall short. His love does not even compare to what we know on earth as love. Our love forgives with great effort, but His love rushes to forgive. Our love tolerates the differences in others, His love celebrates them. Our love tries with great effort not reject, but His love truly accepts every fiber of your human being. How can we fathom His love, our human words and feelings betray us? We do not understand His unconditional love - how could we? If we could see a small revelation of His love for us, we would begin to understand why He gave us the power of life and death in our mouths (Proverbs 18:21). We would understand it's power to transform the dead things of this world into His abundant life - we could reclaim the lost with one word! In this life we are compelled to hate and curse because of the wickedness we see around us, but in His eyes He does not look at the lost and see sin, He sees broken people devastated by darkness. He couldn't hate them if He tried. You don't understand - He IS love. He is not consumed by love, it is who He is - He couldn't be anything but LOVE. So, when He looks at you, He sees you through love and utters a deep guttural cry of great anguish that fills the universe when you are taken away from Him. And there aren't human words that could describe the overwhelming universal transformation that takes place in Him when you return to Him. Your words are not just what we know on earth as life and death, but they are dark and light - good and evil. Your words are what embraces our Father God. Do you love Him? Please tell Him so. He misses you.

They Almost Destroyed Her! by Victoria Boyson

This article is a portion of my book, God's Magnum Opus: The Value of a Woman.

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows" James 1:17  NIV.The Father's TruthWho do you think understands your real value? Do you feel your family or  friends know your true worth? Do you turn to your spouse or parents to  estimate your value? Are you a fair judge of your own personal merit?

There is only ONE accurate version of the truth of your worth and that is the Father's truth. You cannot count on any person to give you a true estimation of your value. Indeed, only your heavenly Father understands your correct standing,  because you are His creation.

Your heavenly Father has known you from your mother's womb. Only He really  understands you and the things that have fought hard to wound your soul  and steal your confidence. He sees you through eyes uncluttered by human hindrances and social sentiment.

God sees you as the perfect gift He destined you to be to the earth. For, "When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God. He created them male and female and blessed them.And he named them 'Mankind' when they were created" Genesis 5:1-2 NIV. He saw you then as He sees you now: a miracle of promise to the earth!

So, if your Father alone knows your true worth, it makes sense that you  should look only to Him for your personal evaluation and guidance for  your future. If you are to fulfill your destiny in Christ, you must  fight to make God the mirror of your competency and ability. All other  messages sent to captivate your attention and warp your opinion of  yourself must be cast down if you are to develop your voice for Him.Â

Hibiscus BushWhen my family and I moved from Iowa to Texas, I was so excited to be in a  region of the United States where tropical plants would flourish. I  purchased and planted several hibiscus bushes and most of them did quite well, but one particular bush was dwarfed in comparison to the others.  It refused to grow and its leaves eventually turned yellow and died.

I struggled with the bush for months and babied it with special powders  and fertilizers. Praying and prophesying over it, I declared life and  health, but to no avail.

Later that year, a polar vortex (cold spell) hit Texas, and along with my  failing bush, all the tropical plants I planted were killed. As I pulled up the dead plants to start over, I saw that the troubled bush I had  struggled to keep alive had grubs in its roots and was slowly being  devoured by them. It had been the nasty grubs that had kept it from  growing and becoming the beautiful bush it was purposed to be.Â

I began to realize how we as humans, have similar troubles - little lies  attacking our roots at our foundation. Inaccurate thoughts we have  believed about ourselves have been the culprits of our demise and have  kept us from growing, maturing and bearing fruit. It is the lies the  enemy plants in our minds that keep us from thriving and living in more  than just merely a survival mode.

Cassandra's TrialMy oldest daughter, Cassandra, loves God passionately and grew up with  such a vibrant openness, loving everyone. When she was only seven years  old and just starting to read, I found her alone in her room with her  Bible in her lap crying uncontrollably. She couldn't even breath, she  cried so hard, and when I asked her why, all she could say was, "So many people are going to hell, Mama."

The overwhelming thought of lost souls seemed to possess her. With almost  every friendship she had, she drew them to the Lord. Truth be told,  their parents didn't always like it when their children were saved and  filled with the Spirit and came home praying in tongues.

One of Cassandra's favorite things to do was to have what she called a revival on Halloween. Blaring Christian music from her CD player for all the  neighbors to hear, she would stand outside on our front porch and shout  for passersby to come to our house and get saved. As far as she knew,  she believed she would, indeed, win the world to Jesus. Even as a child, she had intense purpose and passion - it was beautiful.

Cassandra was only twelve when our dream of putting our children into Christian  school was realized. Unfortunately, this dream turned into a nightmare  when her teacher taught the kids in her class that women (young girls  included) were not allowed to be in ministry or even to pray when men  were present. She actually taught the young girls and boys of her class  that women were second-class citizens, created that way by God. In every possible way, she indicated that girls were not as good as boys and  they absolutely could never be in ministry.

Naturally, I felt compelled to confront the teacher about what she was teaching my daughter and it was then I realized the erroneous teachings were in her very deep. She considered my objections against her to be persecution,  and instead of seeing the pain she had caused, she saw herself as a  martyr for what she believed.

I realized there was nothing I could say to her that would change the way she believed. Even after hearing our objections against this doctrine,  she refused to allow the girls in her class to pray. Quite the contrary, she used the incident to make the point that God only wants men to lead in religious activities and that no woman is the equal of a man.

Through the time Cassandra was in her class, she repeatedly made it clear that  women and even young girls were never to be in any type of ministry.   The mere thought that this could be true was devastating to Cassandra.  Can you imagine the effects of a teacher saying this to a 12 year old  girl who wants only to serve God?

At the end of the school year, Cassandra came to me and asked, "Mom, why  was I even born?" She felt like God did not like her, approve of her or  love her.

I tried very hard to convince her that God valued her and loved her. But  it seemed that no matter what I said to her, the little lies about women from this teacher (and others) were chewing away at the roots of her  faith, destroying her joy and purpose in life, even her relationship  with God.

The Battle for DestinyFrom the time she was seven years old, Cassandra loved God with a great  passion and wanted nothing more than to grow up and become a preacher  and save souls. Now, just a mere five years later, this beautiful  passionate flowering "bush" was being eaten alive by the enemy's  devastating lies about women and literally stripped her of her life's  purpose.

As her Mom, I truly fought hard to prove to her the lies about women were  just that, but she was not easily convinced. It did not help that the  attack against her was backed by other sources as well. The enemy will  always hit you where you are already weak and he compounded the lies in  Cassandra's mind as we fought hard to dispel them. It was, indeed, a  battle for her destiny, her soul and even her life. With barely giving  her a chance to breath, the enemy continued to pour his poison into her  life and brought wave after wave of devastation through one misguided,  reckless individual after another.

Honestly, it is difficult for me to think back at the attacks the enemy threw at  her during this time. It changed her from being a perky, trusting girl,  to being extremely guarded and shy. It wasn't just her destiny the enemy was after, he wanted to take her life. By destroying her life's  purpose, he could then make life unbearable to live - life purpose is that important.At this point, she decided to fight back, but needed proof to fight with  and came to me for answers. Diving into the Word of God, I purposed  myself to find anything and everything I could to prove to her, first,  that God loved her and fashioned her to be a woman and, second, that her calling to minister was a gift from her heavenly Father who loves her!

The fruit of my study to save Cassandra is the product of this book!

I've spent ten years compiling Spirit-led truths about women from the Word  of God, historical references, as well as comparing cultural differences to give women an accurate view of how their heavenly Father sees them. I believe God has prepared this book for this hour to liberate women,  enabling them to bring in the vast harvest we are about to witness.

Women are extremely important to the Father - they are His gift to mankind.  He wants His daughters to know how much He loves them and how wonderful  and  capable they are. In God's eyes, you are truly His Magnum Opus, the great work of His creation masterpiece. He made you so very special,  because you were a gift to a very dear friend - man.

More than ever in history, women need to know how truly powerful and capable they are. We need Godly men and WOMEN to stand up and take their place  to reveal heaven to the earth. As Christians, we have the power to stop  what the enemy is trying to do to this nation and the world.Also, my friends, please pray as I urged in my last newsletter, "I Feel Like I Woke Up From a Nightmare, but I Wasn't Asleep," where I wrote about the tragedy of abortion and the need for prayer for America. Elijah, who was as human as we are, prayed for no rain to fall for three and a half years (James 5:17) and it came to pass.  Please  stand with me and give ONE-HOUR a day to pray for this nation. It is not too much to ask when so much is at stake.

If you miss my last article about abortion, you will find it HERE.

Love and Blessings, Victoria Boyson

I Feel Like I Woke Up From a Nightmare, but I Wasn't Asleep by Victoria Boyson

www.victoriaboyson.com Am I confused? Please tell me I'm wrong and the world is not hunting down a dentist who's killed a lion in Africa, yet, Planned Parenthood executives are not in prison for selling the body parts of unborn babies. How can our world explode with outrage over ISIS and yet, legalize the dismemberment of the unborn? And how long, I wonder, will it be before the sale of human body parts has also become legalized? Are we already losing our indignation over the undercover videos made of Planned Parenthood workers selling dismembered human beings made in God's image? Are we so quickly becoming desensitized to this news just as we have over the seemingly routine, daily massacre of our unborn?   Little tiny hands should be held, not sold. Tiny hearts should be loved, not aborted. But we ARE outraged, right? Or are we? What's to stop the next generation from selling off the body parts of the ill or elderly? Will our golden-age centers become the next money-making harvest ground? Doubtfully it will not stop there. Many of our hospitals are already being taken over by those who have little regard for life. What's to stop them from selective diagnosis and cures in order to profit by the deaths of the poor, or those of the wrong color or religion? If little arms, hearts and livers do not matter to us today, if we allow this issue to be swept under the rug, then we can be assured there will be no end to the depravity that will overtake us. We will all be in danger of moral collapse. We are incensed by the legalization of same-sex marriage, but what about the unborn? We are indignant about Obama-care, but what about the unborn? We are outraged by ISIS, but WHAT ABOUT THE UNBORN? If you are afraid that America will become the next Nazi Germany, you can stop it by caring and fighting for the lives of the unborn! For me, there's only ONE issue that will matter in this next election and that is life. We've got to decide that ALL life matters more than our way of life or we will find ourselves a broken society without a moral compass. Only He who is without sin can cast stones of judgment at those who are asleep, but He refuses. Instead, Jesus is screaming at His bride, "AWAKEN! Now is the time to take back the value of humanity - start now!" If we're content to throw stones at those who've been sucked in by the lies of abortion, where is the answer in that? Truly, they are some of the living victims of this massacre, scarred by the rape of humanity. Our world is a world in great distress. We are living with a holocaust happening right before our eyes everyday! How can we cast stones at Nazi Germany for hiding their faces to the slaughter of Jews in their nation when we are doing the same thing to the unborn? We are tolerating a massacre of our own human-kind. And because of our callousness, we are living in a world that calls evil good and good evil. How can we judge them when we tolerate this evil happening casually and legally among us. We are a people who are morally naked and blind. We need help - God's help! We cannot survive as a nation if we do not call out to our righteous Father and repent for our callousness. As Christians, we cannot stand by and allow this generation to destroy itself. Hating them for their sin will never help them, but prayer will. The Father is calling to you saying, "Do you want a mission, fight for My children! Do you want a ministry - fight for My babies. Do you want to save your nation, then fight for the value of life in your generation. Let your outcry become a raging inferno I can inhabit with My glory and I promise to save your nation!" Our Father is a very mighty God, filled with grace and compassion. "If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts!" (Hebrews 3:15). He will empower your voice! Every night this past week I struggled with nightmares in which I was living in Nazi Germany during the Jewish holocaust. I asked the Lord why, but received no reply. I plead with Him, "Lord, will that happen here? In America? Is that what You're trying to tell me? Will it happen to our nation? Finally, He answered me and said, "I cannot promise you it won't happen to America. That is up to you." Then, suddenly my heart was filled with the word, "IF." IF My people, who call themselves by My name will humble themselves and PRAY and seek My face and TURN from their wicked ways (in remorse), I WILL heal their land. (see 2 Chronicles 7:4). Friends, I am asking you to arise like the great army that you are and pray for this nation now! Pray for the church! And pray for the will of our Father to fill this land! Christians, I am not trying to startle anyone. No, quite the contrary. We have great reason to hope and that is while the enemy plans and schemes, God also makes His own plans. He is our hope and His plans include you. I am asking you to join me in praying ONE-HOUR daily for this nation. One hour is not much to ask when so very much is at stake. Will you join me starting today and seek Him? Repent for the lukewarmness of the Church and wage war against our unearthly enemies. Topple the kingdoms of this world and replace them with the kingdom of our God! Now is the time! As Mordecai declared to Esther, "If you (we) keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews (unborn) will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?" (Esther 4:14 NLT). If we keep quiet about the travesty of abortion in our nation, then we send a signal to our heavenly Father by our inaction - we simply do not care if our own bodies are harvested and sold.  It is no accident you are alive at this time in history; to make a difference and turn the tide of for this nation and the world. FACTS ABOUT ABORTIONFact: In the United States, it is legal to abort a baby up until the day of birth. Fact: In the D&X procedure, babies are "partially aborted" so the head is still in the cervix but the body is out. While in this position, the live baby is still considered an "abortion" therefore a non-person. The live baby's brains are sucked out and the other organs are harvested and sold to "researchers." The baby receives no anesthesia and is alive until the procedure kills him. Fact: Every day in America about 4,400 babies die painful deaths by dismemberment, chemical poisoning, lethal injections into the heart, being torn limb from limb and now, being partially delivered and having their brains sucked out and their organs sold. Fact: Abortion has multiple victims - the baby and the mother. Many women who have abortions suffer both physically and mentally. Depression, anxiety, grief, infection, sterility and even death are not uncommon as a result of the abortion. (And don't forget, the ruin that happens to the souls who perform abortions). Fact: Only 1% of abortions are performed as a result of rape or incest. Most abortions are done as a form of birth control because the baby is "inconvenient," "too expensive" or a "burden." *Repent America ~ Pray for the spirit of death to be broken off our nation and our eyes opened to the travesties that have been committed in the name of "choice." ~ Pray for the souls of people to awaken to the reality of their heavenly Father. ~ Pray for the church to awaken and fight for the kingdom of heaven. ~ Pray for the restoration of women who've had abortions, that they would be able to forgive themselves. ~ Pray for those involved in performing abortions to come to know God is real and the reality of the day of judgment.

The Value of a Woman by Victoria Boyson

Dear friends,

There is only ONE accurate version of the truth of your worth and that is the Father's truth, because you are His creation. Only He really understands you and the things that have fought hard to wound your soul and steal your confidence. He sees you through eyes uncluttered by human hindrances and social sentiment.(Photo via Pixabay)

God loved Adam so much, He created the greatest, most inspiring work of art He could for him – Eve! She was the expression of the Father's love. A priceless treasure, indeed! In woman, the Father created His Magnum Opus, His work of art – the grand finale of His creation masterpiece.

In the Father's grand design for humanity, you are His magnum opus!

Below is a segment I have personally chosen out of my newest book to share with you, "God's Magnum Opus - The Value of a Woman". If you are a woman with the call of God on your life, you need to read this book. Whether you are destined to reach the nations or have the important God-given task of raising your wonderful children in the truth of the Lord, I wrote this book for you. I spent ten years researching this information and seeking the Father's heart for His daughters – this book is the culmination of that time and study.

In Him,

Liberty to the Captives

...Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Matthew 6:9-10 NIV

THE CROSS SETS things right.

The Cross bore the shame and sin of the fall of mankind and revealed the Kingdom of Heaven to the human race. God's heavenly Kingdom would not dominate or cast aside any human, regardless of race, gender, or position (see Galatians 3:28). Indeed, God will pour out His Spirit on every human being who will receive Him. Jesus emancipated humanity and declared to the Earth, "The Kingdom of God is already among you"(Luke 17:21 NIV). (Photo via Pixabay)

Christ presented us with a new way of thinking: the mindset of Heaven. He taught us to pray to the Father, "May Your will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven" (Matthew 6:10 NLT), literally calling down the mindset of the Kingdom to invade and overtake the earth.

When we ask the Father to manifest the reality of Heaven on earth, we are asking for the love and acceptance that Heaven enjoys to come and invade the Church, the world, and our hearts. We are asking for the traditions of man, the lies of history, and the hatred and fear of generations to be washed away by the Cross of Christ. This prayer, the Father's prayer, reveals a new existence and a new way of thinking and living to the earth.

Indeed, that includes the lies told against women, which must be exposed, and God's truth about women be instituted in our hearts and minds. So, we should then be asking ourselves, "How does Heaven treat women?" The nearest example we have is the life of Christ.

What did Jesus say about women when He lived on the earth? How did Jesus treat women? Or better yet, what didn't Jesus teach us about ourselves?

Jesus challenged the world He lived in with the truth. He foresaw His sacrifice on the Cross and knew it would bring liberty to men and women alike! He knew the Cross would send the world reeling, but would bring about the ultimate liberation of an entire gender – that 50% of His Bride would ultimately be set free from the bonds and chains of tradition's lies against them.

Jesus, our Savior, died to liberate you and me. He died to liberate both men and women – it was a part of the package, an essential element to equip the Church. So, why do women continue to allow their liberty to be stripped away from them? (Photo via Pixabay)

Think about it. Paul was speaking to the Corinthians in 2 Corinthians 11:19-20, but he was talking to women and men both when he said, "After all, you think you are so wise, but you enjoy putting up with fools! You put up with it when someone enslaves you, takes everything you have, takes advantage of you, takes control of everything, and slaps you in the face" (NLT, emphasis mine).

For centuries, many women have allowed themselves to be devalued and believed they were serving God by doing so.

The enemy will try any contemptible lie he can to keep you from doing what you are called to do. He will wrap a morsel of truth around a bundle of lies and call it wisdom and try to make it law.

Should we let him stop us?

Would you let satan stop you from defending your children if they were in danger, or your church if it needed your help? Why let him limit you? Why allow him to take up space in your mind with his debunked theories of womanhood when the Word of God clearly states that you were called for such a time as this:

"I will pour out My Spirit upon all people. Your sons and DAUGHTERS will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. In those days I will pour out My Spirit even on servants –both men and women alike!" Joel 2:28-29 NLT (emphasis mine). (Photo of Victoria Boyson)

Christ died to set women free from the intolerable burdens they were never meant to bear so they could take their place in His Kingdom on earth without reservation or excuse. Why, then, would we ever allow ourselves to become enslaved again by the traditions of mankind and reproach ourselves for our lack of compliance to the indoctrination the Church has handed out to us as spiritual food?

Why would we disregard the freedom Christ died to give us? Why would we throw away the humanity He handed us? It is His gift to us; our freedom through Christ is our inheritance from Him. He came to set women free.

God, our Father, has designed and planned for you to take your place in the battle for the Kingdom – to do the greater works of the Kingdom! When you embrace the work of the Cross, you are no longer a marginalized female, but you are one in Christ with His Kingdom. Remember: when God looks at you, He sees Jesus (see Galatians 3:28)!

When you triumph over mankind's opinion of you, you triumph for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Half-Built House

The Holy Spirit showed me a vision years ago of a great, towering building. The structure had a foundation and floors on every level, but had completed walls on only two sides and no roof. In the building, there was a great multitude of men and women working as if they were oblivious to the conditions of the building they were in. They were simply unaware of their terrible lack and the vulnerable situation it put them in. (Photo via Pixabay)

I asked God about the vision. He said, "My house is not yet finished and it will remain unfinished and vulnerable to the enemy until the women take their rightful place in My house."

I found it peculiar He did not say the women should be given their rightful place, but He said they must take their place. Unfortunately, there is still a great deal of misogynist thinking in the Church and amongst women against themselves. Indeed, God never said it would be easy and, truly, the difficulties we face build us into the strong women we need to be to rally for our King.

And we, as a Church, must stand vehemently against any and all opposition against the whole Kingdom of Heaven coming to the earth. It must be released through all of us – men and women alike!
