Question and Answers: Spiritual Warfare

By Apostle Tonya

Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight. The Book of Psalms 144:1

Might it be well if I answereth a question today, everyone?

With reverence unto the Lordship of Christ, I shall say it is with most highest regard to Christ and the Spirit of God who
superintendeth the training in the spirit to serve and in spiritual warfare.

Principally, I held a concern for the blessedness of delicacy as a woman in ministry. In the lovingkindess of the Father, He responded and willed for me to train in the spirit with blessed and sacred care for my concern.

Chiefly, I suppose I hath learned the adversary most abhorreth when I ignore him. In this, he hath ofttimes sought to distract me with my losses. Notwithstanding it, I continueth on by the grace of Christ to ignore his works for me to focus upon it.

Taketh for example, if I shall endure a moment wherein I embrace the magnitude of the losses; I may say, I ofttimes might name call the enemy (that is by his Biblical names). Further, I never acknowledge the names of the adversary in my spontaneous worship to the Blessed One!

Continuing on, I may so say, I ofttimes may discern the wonder and awe of the Master’s delight when I declare to the adversary this…

… satan, you have no power over my Blessed Master, and He is going to get you most soon! And you are not touching anyone else because I know how to fight you back!

Most humorous it is ofttimes in the glory, dearest friends!

Youth Pursuing Christ

By Apostle Tonya

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 3 John 1:4

Surely, the Blessed Master knoweth I shall be eternally grateful for the honor the ministry hast to serve the youth, who are increasing in number.

I shall say, the youth are pursuing righteousness, and in their admiration of Christ are most young glory seekers!

Speaking of the youth, I may suppose many of you might remembereth a series entitled, ‘Youth Pursuing Christ,’ wherein I interviewed several youths dearest to my heart about their spiritual walks here on Heaven’s Pen.

Might I now say, one of the youths interviewed was my dearest, Seon. May I now share with you an answer to one of Seon’s questions I asked him during our interview several years ago?

Apostle Tonya: One final question Seon, if Christ, was dining with you alone today as He dined with His Disciples after His glorious Resurrection, as recorded in The Book of John, Chapter 21, how might you desire your conversation with our Holy Christ to be?

Seon: I would ask Christ what can I and Christians as a whole do to continue to spread the holy message. I would also ask Him what can I do better specifically to lead me closer to Him!

Apostle Tonya: Amen. My dearest Seon, I want to thank you most kindly for sharing your pure heart and devotion for our Risen Christ with the readers of Heaven’s Pen.

Continuing on, I pray the response of Seon shall most inspireth the youth pursuing Christ today! For this certain series, and the growing family of teens studying Christ through the ministry hath caused a most glorious release from the Father in the ministry, everyone!

And so, with deliberate reverence to the Son of God I shall say the ministry is delighted to announce a new weekly update on the ministry for the teens is now live on the website!

Thy Lord be praised!

Gifts of the Spirit

By Apostle Tonya

In speaking succinctly on the gifts of the spirit, I shall say as we delight in the Dearest Comforter He shall be faithful to manifest His will and the desires of our hearts.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. I Corinthians 12:4

Further, I may suppose the Blessed Holy Spirit shall impart the immeasurable and
eternal gift of a loyal and obedient heart to the Throne Room of our most Holy God.

And so, may we remembereth as Believers of Christ the holy secrets and revelations wherefore are granted from Heaven to us shall cometh with spiritual maturity and the heart to be trusted by eternity with it!

Knowing the Scriptures

By Apostle Tonya

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. St. Matthew 22:29

Surely, it is a most blessed honor we hath been granted reading the Holy Bible. What awe and wonder it is reading the life of our Holy Majesty and even of the Son of God’s attendance in the temple whereinto He entered to inclineth His ears to the teachings and reading of the Scriptures.

I gather I may say, for me, reading the sacred Scriptures is the place where I remaineth for hours with the Blessed Master. Ofttimes I am most comfortable sitting on the floor delighting in the sacred Word.

And so, might I say to my brethren who are in a season partaking of Christ sufferings; be most faithful reading the Scriptures. For even during the occasions when our Holy God is most silent; His righteous eyes remaineth upon you.

Victory in Christ

By Apostle Tonya

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. St. Matthew 4:1

Might it be well to speaketh today of our Holy Christ during the occasion of the forty days and forty nights wherefore our Lord spent in the wilderness and was tempted by the adversary?

Chiefly, I shall say it appeareth the Son of God purposed to superintend training us on the temptations of the enemy wherefore shall cometh, and is defeated with the sword of the Spirit.

With deliberate reverence unto the Son of God who sitteth on the Right-Hand side of God, the Father, may I taketh a moment to further expound on the passages recorded in St. Matthew 4:1-11?

Peradventure, the Son of God purposed to also teacheth us as Believers of Christ who may seeketh Him in fasting and prayer, the enemy shall as a thief audaciously attempt to enter into the Holy of Holies.

Continuing on, I shall say even in this we must remaineth in the strength of Jesus Christ and focus on the Cross. For the tempter’s strategy is the selfsame recorded throughout the Holy Bible.

In truth, it hath been even from the Garden of Eden unto the Gospels of God the tempter conspires to stealeth the order of worship, hearts from our Holy God, undermine the Father’s authority, and confuse the Scriptures.

And so, let us remembereth our devotion and loyalty belongeth unto the Godhead, and in Christ we shall remaineth victorious!

The Sacred Journal Collection

Most surely, I giveth the Blessed Master thanks for the many blessed prayers wherefore hath been heard by our Holy God with regard to the journals.

I shall say then, the ministry is thrilled to honor the prayers with a new page established on the website devoted to my journal collection line.

Thank you most kindly for your prayers, everyone!

For Such A Time as This

By Apostle Tonya

With awe of our most Holy God, we giveth Him praise for the strength and courage He graciously imparted into Esther!

Notwithstanding the absence of a loving mother to raiseth her, Hadassah astoundingly became a humble queen who feared The Highest. And it was His holiness and eternal power, that Esther trusted and turned to to delivereth herself and her people, the Jews, from the wicked plot of Haman.

Excerpt from the Exposition Commentary to Esther: Courage of a Queen by Apostle Tonya

Prayer for healing

By Apostle Tonya

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

Master, I cometh before Thee to pray for those who are afflicted in their bodies! Might Thou who is merciful and the same yesterday, today, and forever, visit them and healeth your Children today?

Oh, Dearest Master, I beseech Thee to even quickeneth whom Thou will. Amen!

The Bread of Life

By Apostle Tonya

And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. St. John 6:10

I might say, it well so agreed with the Godhead, our Lord, who was declared to be the Son of God, with power and authority principally planned that most of His Ministry would occur around the shores of the Sea of Galilee.

Ofttimes, as we read the Gospels of God, as recorded in St. John 6, of the Bread of Life’s most intimate teachings that even of Christ sitting upon the mountains and our Lord discerning the multitude were most famished.

And Jesus took the loaves; and when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. St. John 6:11

In the sacred pages of this Chapter, the beloved Disciple John fundamentally records Christ’s concern for His followers who spiritually hungered. In this, Christ provided the nourishment for their souls and further supplied their needs with sustenance.

And so, surely, the Son of God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever remaineth faithful to supplieth our needs according to His riches in glory!

Abounding in Thanksgiving

By Apostle Tonya

Might I say, thy Lord knows I most love the comfort and blessedness of His fellowship, resting with Him writing in my journal and enjoying a hot cup of my favorite tea!

Surely, it is most precious to me to record my thoughts on Scriptures and the sacred words from the Blessed Master.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

I gather I shall say for November’s Monthly Glory Offer, it is my heart to release a new gratitude and prayer journal from my line of journals.

Oh, how it is surely my prayer you shall most delight in the blessedness of the Dearest Comforter’s presence abounding in thanksgiving as you record your hearts within its pages!

And so, the ‘Abounding in Thanksgiving’ journal shall be available on November 10th on the ministry’s website. I may say also the journal shall be available in select retail stores in December!

Most grateful!
