Try shaking your fist at the devil then stand behind your pastor and stick out your tongue at him!

We had a kick the devil in the teeth service last night. Pastor Hurst had a Holy Ghost outburst in his preaching. It was as the kids say, "Off the Hook!!!" He preached about God being our protector and our help in time of need. He preached it didnt matter if the economy was going under we are children of the King. We have our treasures laid up in heaven and we could depend on God. He said a lot but the main thing that I received was, not to worry what the world or the devil wants us to worry about, causing fear and disbelief. But to put our trust and faith in God. It was way better than what I can write down on this blog. It gave hope to every situation. Great or small. When you think about it, God is really in control. He has a plan of action for everything. He knows whats best in all situations. He is God!!!
It was a conference message on a wednesday night! Ha! I know the devil hates that. We were driving home and I talked to Faith on the road and my best friend. Then I texted one of our youth to tell them the preaching was for me. We were on crazy horse canyon road. It is a back road we take home and we always have a faithful tailgater or a high beamer on the opposite side of the road or Mr. slowpoke in front of us. So we are traveling the speed limit 55 MPH which I strictly obey because of the conditions of this road. You never want to be speeding back there. To many things can go wrong. Out of no where pops out this deer! My husband slams on his breaks and I just scream out JESUS! We skid down the road for almost a minute it seemed. I just kept saying JESUS!! My daughter woke up. She always sleeps on our way home wednesday nights. She says, mommy whats happening? We were still skidding. She sees the deer in front of us. Finally the bouncing deer goes back into the brush and we continue on. I just started thanking God and speaking in tongues in the car. I thanked God my husband reacted correctly. I thanked God we didnt hit the deer at full speed and it didnt come right through the windshield. I thanked God No One was behind us at that moment. I thanked God No One was in the opposite lane that could of hit us or the deer causing a major accident. I thanked God we were all safe and unharmed. Our car was perfectly fine and that God kept His hand on us and kept us from what could of ended in death. It was proof in the preaching that had just come forth. No matter what the devil tries to do to us. God has his hands on us. You had to have been there to understand this next statement. Devil Im shaking my fist at you AND Im sticking out my tongue. Of course Im standing behind my pastor!! Hes quite taller than Bro. Barnes but you get the picture for those who were there. God is good ALL THE TIME!!! I just keep thinking of all the things that could of happened and didnt. That car just stayed straight and steady as we skidded down the road. It truly was miraculous. I really believe angels were guiding that car and kept everything out of the way. Although I told my husband thank God for him and his expert driving skills wink, wink!!lol :)
On a lighter note my husband said we should of gave the deer a little tap and had some good eating! To that comment my animal rights, activist daughter replied, DADDY!!!!Dont say that about one of Gods creatures!! lol lol Oh my stars!! All in a night of the life of the Cordovas... Stay tuned!! lol
ps. Markus I should of answered the phone you could of heard the whole thing!! :)

Just Show up and Jesus will do the rest!!

Spending a little time with Jesus makes everything better. Sunday was a time of refreshing for me. I have been in such a heavy and dark place and I knew I just had to show up and everything would be alright. I don't know if you have ever felt like it was a struggle to to get to the house of God. Part of me was just saying don't go. Just stay in bed and forget it. I know that's awful, but hey its the truth. I got up anyway and started to get ready. I kept telling myself if I just show up everything will be ok.
My best friend called me and she was sitting in the parking lot of her church and she didn't want to go in. I started laughing to myself and she started to cry and I told her, friend remember when you used to tell me all the time you just have to keep showing up? I used to think that was so stupid when you said that about yourself, but today I completely understand what you meant. I told her just get in there and everything will be ok. I told her I know you don't have anything to give but like I heard a long time ago Jesus is still worth the praise. Even when you feel like you have nothing to offer just praise Him because He is worthy. That's not being fake. That's just what is right. If you just show up God will do the rest. I told her just go in and then when its over come and visit us. Then we will go to prayer later. She has been coming down and praying with us on Sunday nights. She told me how much it has been blessing her. Then I hung up and thought about how I didn't want to go and my friend needed me to carry her spiritually. I never told her anything about all that has been going on with me. She still doesn't know. My whole point here is, What got me over and out of my own trial was helping her out of hers. It took my focus off of me and caused me to forget about myself and help her. I know we all have our times of weakness and our own problems and issues, but what helped me is helping someone else. My stuff just wasn't important anymore. I needed to remind my friend God has everything in His Hands. By reminding her, I reminded myself. God kept telling me during the service I am God all by myself in your life. there is nothing I cant do or fix or make right in your life. The Lord reminded me my problems were not as big and hopeless as I thought. In fact He told me they were petty. How is that for a big rebuke? lol He said Noel these things are nothing to me, one touch of my Hand and they will be gone. He said give me something good! There is nothing to hard for me!! God ministered to me in song and in the preaching. When someone prayed over me I felt like this huge load just lift off of me. I told my friend after service God just touched me and took it all away. Whatever it was that was weighing me down. She went home renewed and refreshed in the spirit. God is so good. I thank God for my best friend. God has blessed me with her friendship and we have always been there when the times get tough. But more than that I thank God for His friendship. He is so faithful and just. He is so merciful and patient and kind. He is my everything and the best problem solver of all time. Nothing is to hard for the Lord. Cast all your cares upon the Lord for He cares for you and He knows what your going through, why don't you cast all your cares upon the Lord???....
