Walk by faith and NOT by sight....

Whew!!!! What an awesome time. When I embarked on this journey with the LORD I never imagined it would be as wonderful as this. I just have to say, there is so much GOD has in store for you. So much HE desires to show you, so much HE's already doing and will do in you and for you. Trust me, don't try to figure it out, our minds can not even begin to comprehend it. HE is exceeding and continues to exceed every expectation. Every day with HIM gets sweeter and sweeter.

Hebrews 11:1


NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, [a]the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].


Most recently, this verse has taken on a whole new meaning for me. NOW faith is....

1.the assurance (confirmation, the title deed) of what I have hoped for,

2. the proof of things I do not see but I have the conviction of their reality

3. the perceiving of what is reality (fact) but has not (yet) been revealed to my senses

Which means we can't (and shouldn't) rely on our senses to reveal to us the things that GOD has prepared for us. The promises of GOD that we read in the BIBLE are not contingent upon us seeing, feeling or hearing before we realize that they are ours. The promises of GOD in HIM are ye and AMEN!!! They rightfully belong to us as partakers of the Divine Nature. It is our faith that bring those promises into existance. Excuse me for a moment but I must make a public confession...

I renounce every association I have had with the old realm of the senses where weakness and failure dominated and I now occupy a new realm of faith where success and victory is my portion. I am officially tendering my resignation to the realm of existance where my senses served as the determining factor of who I was in CHRIST. I walk by faith and NOT by sight. GOD's WORD settles every matter, there is no dispute because GOD's Word ends ALL disputes! I will not draw back. GOD delights in me. HE sings over me because the just shall live by faith. I know that without faith it is impossible to please GOD therefore, I declare that I am strong in faith giving glory to GOD.

Arianna has hair, my GOD she has hair because it was by HIS stripes she was healed. It was accomplished on the cross and because of the cross her name is VICTORY! Arianna walks in wholeness, lacking NOTHING!!!!!


Chris, Arianna and I are partakers of the GLORY that shall be revealed. Christian is a mighty man of GOD, he loves GOD with all of his heart, soul, and might. As for me and my house we serve and love the LORD! The LONT Family is NOT conformed to the world, but we are transformed by the renewing of our minds and we approve what is the good, and acceptable, and perfect will of GOD. I reinterate that we walk by faith and NOT by sight!!!! NOW faith is....HALLELUJAH!!!!!

I recently read in E.W. Kenyon's book "Two Kinds of Faith" that "faith never rises above its confession." He continues by saying "Few of of use realize that our confession imprisons us. The right kind of confession will set us free". He says, "our words are the coins in the Kingdom of Faith. Our words snare us and hold us in captivity or they set us free and become powerful in the lives of others." That being said, there are some things you need to confess right now to break yourself free from the forces that have imprisoned you and what rightfully belongs to you. There is life and death in the power of the tongue, therefore use your tongue to release life. Use your tongue to agree with the Kingdom of GOD. Refuse to speak anything other than what GOD has said about you and about everything that pertains to you. I declare that you are a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed. You are called, chosen, ordained and anointed for greatness. You shall taste and see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. It is GOD's delight to bless and to prosper you. The KINGDOM of GOD is yours. Walk in it, speak it and most of all believe it!!!!

NOW, FAITH IS....

HE liberally supplies

Philippians 4:19 (Amplified Bible)
And my God will liberally supply ([a]fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.


I have most recently been faced with difficult situations that have driven me closer to the Throne of Grace. As I read the above scripture this morning I am reminded, encouraged and comforted in knowing that every need I have GOD liberally supplies and fills to the full. Which means we don't have to lack anything because our provider, our sustainer, our healer, our deliverer provides it all according to HIS great riches in glory in Christ Jesus.



The past two weeks I attended the funerals of two dear cousins {Ronald (JR) and Byron (BJ)Coleman, ages 27 and 26 respectively}. Their lives and deaths have left an enormous impact on my life. I am pursuaded to love GOD the more, to pursue HIM with everything that is within me and to live according to HIS terms and HIS plans...not my own or anyone else's for that matter.



I witnessed how this tragedy affected countless lives for one reason or the other. There are questions with no answers, pain that seems unbearable, voids left in a mother and father's heart, and children left to mourn the absence of their fathers, but to all of this I say...But GOD! To this I say GOD supplies EVERY need. JESUS is a man of sorrow, acquainted with grief and He promises that as we approach the throne of Grace we obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (thanks Apostle A :). Even now, I declare that every loved one left to mourn BJ and JR are finding grace to help in this time of need.



I dedicate this blog to these two precious lives that have been snatched away into eternity. I have realized that I have allowed fear to cripple me from being all that GOD has called me to be (this blog, especially). But with renewed focus and determination I press. What has happened was not in vain, it can not be in vain.



Dear LORD, the life that I have been given I want to use it to bring pleasure to You. I lived enough of it for my own desires and pleasures. Today, unlike BJ and JR I have the opportunity to do things differently. May every reader of this blog and I live with the awareness that we are not created for ourselves. It is truly NOT about us but all about You. Jesus, be the air we breathe, the lyric of every song, the beating of our hearts, the hope that we cling to. Help us to delight ourselves in You and in You alone.



Loving HIM passionately....
