My first two months at Bethel as a first year student has really been amazing. I have been so blessed and love to see and hear and be apart of all that God is doing in the lives of His bride here. I am at a new level of being in awe of God again and that’s always a great place to be.

I wanted to share some of the major points that I feel have impacted me the most. We hear so many sermons and teachings every week and I should share and give away some of what I’ve been learning before I take on more, so let me impart to you in Love. If you have any questions or comments I would love to hear them.
 
 

Angels harken to the Word of God… Declare the word of God. Be in relationship with God and hear what He is saying for today. The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit.
 
 

Stay tender and sensitive to the Spirit, Honor that Inner Voice. If you become calloused and cauterized to that part of you, you deaden your conscience which is that part of you that is your better judgment. When you hear my voice, don’t harden your heart.

Christ in you the hope of Glory. Holy Spirit is in you, let Him out. The Kingdom is in you, the Kingdom is at hand, you are seated with Christ. Abide.

Being in right relationship with authority should be a life giving blessing.

Awaken and follow your instincts, Your Spirit is Alive in Christ!

Fathers provide a place for life to thrive, identity, protection, and provision.

Honor draws us close to people, dishonor pushes us away. The test of honor comes when people fail.
Honor isn’t tested by how you treat the police officer when he pulls you over because you want to earn favor.  It’s tested at home with how you treat those you live with, it shows up when you really value and make it a goal to connect with someone.
 
Honor is a connection protection policy. Value your relationships and do nothing to hurt the connection, with both God and man. Withdrawing is dishonor. Honor comes from a love connection. Through God all things are held together.

Our identity is who we are not what we do. Our identity doesn’t come from how well we perform, so our sense of worth should not be based on performance. Rather our performance comes from knowing who you are in Christ. Loved as a Human being not just for how I perform as a human doing.

Do not despise the day of small beginnings.
 
 
Find out what is beautiful to you, and ask God what to do with that beauty. God’s desire is that you live fully alive.

A Good name is to be chosen rather then great riches.

I found out that the meaning of Spratt was an insignificant person. I discovered that that has been a lie spoken over my life. So I exchanged the lie for the truth and the truth is that I am very significant…. I am a daughter of the most high a royal priest, and I need to believe and walk in that. My opinion matters and changes the course of history. We are called to disciple Nations, and commanded to love, you have to believe that you matter to God and others to walk that out. God values what I have to say, and He values how I feel, He even anticipates my every need.
 
I have the mind of Christ, it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me.

 
When a lie is exposed it loses its power, and the exchange of truth empowers me.

Shawna means God is Gracious, full of power. Donald is a world leader. Gloria is Glory…Yeah Baby! Stacey is Resurrection, and Sterling is valuable,

How we think God sees us determines how we are. Ask Him to show you how He sees you.

God is in Charge, not in control. Not everything that happens is God’s will.

Love requires that you make a choice.

You will always have a tree in your garden that you have an appetite for, but God says don’t eat of it or surly you will die. The test is if you love God enough to not touch that tree. For if you do you are exchanging Masters.

You are always tempted to try and get what God has promised you before it’s time. Don’t cheat or take it, wait for God to give it.

The Holy Spirit will lead you into temptation sometimes, pray that he leads you not into temptation but delivers you from evil.

Jesus didn’t walk into his destiny before it was his time, but satin offered it to him, and He was tempted because of the promises that God had given Him.

Never let your appetite become your identity. We all have an appetite for something we should not have, and that’s normal.

One tree is the tree of life and the other is the forbidden fruit, Love gives us a choice.

We look like and act like our Father.

Love suffers long and is kind, Love does not envy, doesn’t parade itself, is not puffed up; Love doesn’t behave rudely, and doesn’t seek its own. Love is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love Never Fails.
 
I really have learned so much more about inner and outer healing
prophesy and connecting with the Holy Spirit, but I’ll share that another time.
 
I have a missions trip to Mexico city and the cost is $1200. I don’t have enough money to pay for it at this point so if you want to help send me, go to ibssm.org and click on give to bssm. Thanks for all your love and encouragement, Blessings.
