Guardian Warrior Angel Art
Guardian Warrior Angel – Servant of GOD
Angel Art
For over a year now I’ve had this image in my head of an angel. My intention was to draw it or attempt to learn how to paint it.
Recently I felt inspired to finally get the image out of my head and create it in a digital format instead of paper.
I wish I had more time to work on the details, but it is primarily what I imagined.
I used Zazzle to put the image on a variety of items such as posters, mugs, cards, mousepads, and t-shirts, etc. that might be of interest to others personally and/or for gift giving.
For those interested, they are available for purchase at: Zazzle.com/BreezeSeven
The art on the Zazzle items includes the text as shown in the image.
Along the bottom is Psalm 91:11:
“For He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.”
My original intention was to have this image produced (with no text) on large multi-panel gallery wrapped canvas to portray a powerful supernatural presence effect. I actually ordered a small run, but not sure if that is going to work out as desired … we’ll see … either way it was a fun project…
Have a great day!
Cheers,

Can We Get Heaven’s Attention?
“If my people, which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,

Abundant Prosperity – What Kind of Faith Delivers the Goods?
Abundant Prosperity – What Kind of Faith Delivers the Goods?
Discover the Faith Needed to Manifest Abundance!
Abundant prosperity requires living by the right kind of faith.
It is through faith that we touch the very source of life.
If we could measure a man’s faith we could come very near to predicting accurately the measure of his success in life.
TWO KINDS OF FAITH
There is a specific kind of faith that will deliver the abundant goods for a prosperous life. The kind of faith required is heart faith.
BELIEVING WITH YOUR HEAD FAITH
First let’s talk about the kind of faith that does NOT deliver the goods – head faith.
Chances are; you’ve heard of this type of faith found in a man often referred to as ‘Doubting Thomas’. Thomas did not believe the other disciples when they said they saw the Lord. Thomas only believed after he himself saw Jesus. Jesus said blessed are those that have NOT seen, and yet believed. (You can read this account in John chapter twenty of the Bible.)
The point is: head faith only believes what it can see and feel and is based on mental reasoning.
BELIEVING WITH YOUR HEART FAITH
Heart faith is what delivers the goods.
Heart faith believes regardless of what it sees and in spite of circumstances.
No wonder Abraham is a primary example of someone whose faith was of the heart. In Romans chapter four it says Abraham believed in what was spoken even though he couldn’t see it. He didn’t consider the present situation in unbelief, but was strong in faith and fully persuaded.
What happens when you have real faith of the heart? Faith in your heart produces results.
By the way, it’s no surprise that a lot of people struggle with the fact they have doubt in their minds. But I want to point out that you can still get results even when you have some doubts in your mind.
We are bombarded with thoughts constantly. However, it is the ones we choose to meditate and focus on that get into our heart.
Jesus said we can have what we Say if we do not doubt in our Heart. (Mark 11:23) And then Proverbs 3:5 tells us to trust the Lord with all our Heart, and lean not on our own understanding (thoughts and feelings).
The simple fact of the matter is this: True faith is of the heart and not the head. What is in the heart of our being is who we are and what we become.
“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7
Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. So take time to listen to the Word in the area you believe to receive.
Doesn’t it make sense to harness this dynamic heart faith and produce abundant prosperity in your life? Now you can. And confessing and speaking powerful verses and phrases from the Word of God is one of the most effective ways to get the ball rolling and attract abundance.
May you live by heart faith and continue to experience growing prosperity!

Spiritual Warfare – How Does The Shield of Faith Help When the Attacks Come?
Spiritual Warfare – How Does The Shield of Faith Help When the Attacks Come?
Discover How to Take the Power Out of the Attacks by Putting on
the Shield of Faith!
Spiritual warfare requires responding to attacks with the Shield of Faith.
Sometimes the attacks come at our thoughts with the power of suggestion. Other times it may be in the form of sickness, accidents, poverty, or tragedy.
In all cases, we must react immediately to the attack with faith.
A Battle to Fight: The Enemy
Don’t be fooled, lest satan should get an advantage on you.
Throughout the Bible, in verses such as 2 Corinthians 2:11, we are told not to be fooled of his devices. This is important to be aware of, because if we are not conscious of the true source of trouble, we may fall guilty to blaming God.
“Enemy-occupied territory—that is what this world is.”
– C.S. Lewis
Attacks are going to come. That is part of life on earth regardless who you are. Whether you choose to acknowledge it or not, the enemy is regularly throwing his fiery darts at us.
Do we really see the enemy hand behind the attacks?
There is a whole lot more going on behind the scenes of our lives than the majority of us have been led to believe.
Keep in mind: As believers we have the image of God reflected in a us. This does not please the enemy. My greatest battles in life have come after purposing to step out in some way for God.
A Battle to Fight: Power to Overcome
The Lord wants to protect us from attacks. That is why He provided us His Word and tells us to put on the whole armor of God.
The Shield of Faith is part of the armor and designed to render harmless the fiery darts that come our way. Be aware that we cannot stop the attacks from coming, but we can stop them from having a lasting effect.
Regardless of the type of attack, we must stand ready to repel the enemy plan with the Word of God spoken in faith. Remember, we are to live by faith.
Stand in the Battle: You are Not Alone
Jesus is a great example of how to stand against the enemy and overcome.
He was tempted by satan through the power of suggestion. Notice that He was not passive about the attacks in His thoughts. He always took immediate action and repelled the suggestions with the Word of God. This caused satan’s darts to quickly become extinguished. Christ aggressively answered each barrage with faith.
“If we would endeavor, like men of courage, to stand in the battle, surely we would feel the favorable assistance of God from Heaven.” – Thomas A Kempis
Shield your heart, mind, and body. Our faith should be in every promise God made to us. We all have different levels of faith in different areas.
If your faith is weak in an area build it up by listening to the Word of God on that subject. Meditate on verses that will help your faith in that area.
Examples of Responding to Attacks in Faith:
For bad thoughts, fear, and negative suggestions:
Resist by saying God has given me a spirit of power, and love, and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
For sickness and physical attacks:
Resist by saying Jesus took my infirmities and bore my sickness, and by His stripes I am healed. (Matthew 8:17, 1 Peter 2:24)
For poverty attacks:
Resist by saying my God shall supply all my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19)
For persecution attacks:
Resist by saying no weapon formed against me shall prosper. (Isaiah 54:17)
Case in Point: The Shield of Faith repels not only attacks on our minds, but circumstances as well. Stand strong and have courage knowing that all the attacks are rendered harmless when we rise to meet them in faith.
May you walk by faith and continue to experience a life of growing prosperity!
God bless you –

Financial Prosperity – Want 2 Keys to Help You Excel?

Get 2 Keys that Equal a BIG Step of Faith to Excel Your Financial Prosperity!
Financial prosperity is available to everyone.
The source of all financial abundance is God and with Him there are no limits. Trouble is, too many people are slow to learn the principles that will cause them to excel financially.
Are you tired of going in circles where your finances are concerned? In days of economic uncertainty, it is important for everyone to get a working knowledge of truth to prosper.
Sadly enough, too many people believe poverty is the will of God. This kind of thinking will prevent you from prospering. You can prosper by using God’s spiritual principles in your finances.
Get your thinking clear on how to work them and you’ll no longer use words like recession, poverty, and lack.
In order to receive financial abundance from God, we must do our part. If we do our part, He’ll do His part and meet our needs according to His riches in glory.
2 Keys to Excel Your Financial Abundance:
1.) Be a Tither
What is tithing? Tithing is giving the first 10 percent of your income to God’s house. Most people don’t like to hear about tithing and it puts them in fear. But you’ll have no problem tithing if you see God as your source of supply.
The tithe is seed money of wealth and is compared to sowing. The more a person gives, the more that person receives. Financial prosperity is one benefit of tithing. It puts you in partnership with God. We are told to bring the tithes into God’s house and then test Him and see if He does not open the windows of heaven and pour out such a blessing on us that we don’t have room enough to contain it! (Malachi 3:10)
Tithing is a step of trust and obedience that God will take care of your finances. God promises to pour out a blessing to the tither.
I personally started tithing about seven years ago, after being taught on the subject. I’ll admit that I had doubts and started out as “going to give tithing a try”.
I wanted to do the right thing and obey God, but I really couldn’t see how I could tithe if I already wasn’t making all my bills. I think at the time I was making about $8 p/h and raising two kids with no child support or assistance.
All I can say is that this has been one of the most life-changing steps I have taken! No I don’t have millions in the bank (yet 🙂 ) but I have seen the favor of God move in my life like never before. I started getting raises and promotions, supernatural deals and savings when I shop, wisdom in making smart financial decisions, creative ideas started coming to me, and even money in the most unexpected times.
One time things were hitting a bottom and I wondered how I would be able to continue tithing and I then got an unexpected huge child support payment in the mail from some sort of intercept from a settlement.
I really could go on and on with personal examples, and that of my children. I just want to encourage you to study on the subject of tithing and learn what God has to say about it. My personal financial situation has not been too pretty this last year, after stepping into full-time self-employment, but I am still committed to giving to God what belongs to Him. I need His hand on my life now more than ever before!
2.) Give Offerings
What is an offering? An offering is something given above and beyond the tithe. Or what you give after you tithe.
When you give, it will be given back to you in good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over. Also note, that whatever measure you give, (small, medium, or large), is the same measure that will be used to give back to you. (Luke 6:38)
No doubt about it; it is impossible to out give God and He is the source of unlimited abundance. God has promised to meet our needs spiritually, physically, and financially. If we do our part in tithes and offerings, God says He will do His part.
May you continue to take steps of obedience to His Word and continue to have growing prosperity in your finances!
