Monday Message Are you one that rarely, if ever, reaches out for help to solve a problem,
or get through a tough circumstance? Thanks for joining us for Faith-Filled Friday with Abigail Rice and Trench Class United. Today’s message is a great reminder that private party logic keeps us captive, but His truths set us free. Dear daughter of the King, You You are free No weapon formed against me shall prosper & every tongue that rises against me in judgement I shall condemn Even when that tongue is my own Even when I feel so alone You are there To the depths of Sheol You are there Remove the flesh from my bones I cry out Let me hear Your voice & Your voice alone Pick up the stone Not worthy to throw But you have Me Why do you think I hung on that tree? To let you lie down and bleed? Stand up daughter Stand up and SING Shout from the rooftops Yeshua - Yahweh! Because of you I have been saved! I am set free & no weapon formed against me shall prosper Now take that stone & toss her Into the sea Let it sink Watch it drown Watch it leave Now walk towards Me Do you believe? “No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that acuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the Lord.” - Isaiah 54:17

Faith-Filled Friday We’ve all heard we are to be salt of the earth and lights that shine. What
does that even mean? Thanks for joining us for Faith-Filled Fridays with Debra Dolce and Trench Classes United. Today’s love letter is a great reminder of how to plug into our Source of light that we would and could shine our brightest. ~Love Letter~ You must be sure that your light shines well. Then you will give light to other people. They will see all the good things that you do. Then they will praise Me, who is your Father in heaven. I continually share this with you for it is pleasing to Me. If you share with others My Word and all the things I've done for you, they will see My goodness. Tell people how I've healed you, how I’ve helped you, and let them see My wonders. Tell them how I've delivered you and how they too can be delivered. How would you feel if your friends and family received healing and deliverance like you? Wouldn't them being set free fill you with so much excitement? That should make you want to share with so many more people. Even everyone you talk with. his is what it takes to be a witness for Me. That drive will cause you to want to see people saved and freed. Remember Jeremiah said he had a fire shot up in his bones. It pressed upon him a desperate need to tell My people My truth. I desire you to teach and preach My truths and see people come to Me. Beloved, pray for this. ~DebraDolce Thursdays Trench Truth I absodarnlutely love exploring meanings for words in the Word of God that
sort of stick out to me and pique my curiosity. One of the Hebrew/Old Testament definitions for the word “know” means to experience with our inner being. When you think of scriptures like Be still and know that I am God, with this definition, what comes to mind? Personally it blows me away that God the Father, God the Son, and Spirit would want me, and you, to know Him like that, but the closer we lean into Him, the more we will experience Him with our inner being. And the more we experience Him, the easier it will be to trust Him when unexpected, unwanted, and uninvited things come into our life. Can I encourage you to be still, even for a few moments, invite Him to help you experience Him with your inner being, that you would know Him and then trust Him. Love, Kim-Evinda Wednesday Word It’s not fair, she argued. Why, when I was the one hurt, do I have to be the one to
change? She waited for an answer. Thanks for joining us for Wednesday’s Word with Kim-Evinda and Trench Classes United. Have you ever encountered this situation where you were the one hurt by someone, but God was asking you to change? Join Kim-Evinda as she wrestles with this very thing. When the answer came, it wasn’t what she wanted to hear…at all. But the truth of the answer settled in her soul like the missing piece of a puzzle, nestled perfectly, ending the search. There was no arguing with truth. “My daughter, when someone sins against you, you don’t have to rub their noses in it; when someone is not doing what you want them to do, you don’t need to remind them. I see it all. Now I have a question for you: What if your one purpose was to love this person like they’ve not been loved? To say nothing at all but to love in action?” She wanted to scream: This is my vacation, too! But she bit her tongue. She didn’t argue; she couldn’t. All she could do was to pray for strength to do just that. And yet, there was a diamond that glistened to the surface of it all to carry with her to and through any conflict. It even coincided with what her mentor had just shared with her: if he/she is showing resentment, partner with forgiveness; if he/she is showing anger, partner with love and say nothing at all. It will speak louder than any words of wisdom you may impart. Friend, oftentimes, we need to be the change we want to see. There’s no arguing with truth and the fact of the matter is He who began a new and good work will be faithful to complete it…until we see Him face to face! (Philippians 1:6) Love, Kim-Evinda Tuesday Trench Truth Welcome to Tuesday’s Trench Humor where we like to pull the truth from something
funny. So there’s a trial going on in a small town and the prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand, a grandmotherly, elderly woman. His first question: "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, "Why, yes, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy. And frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a rising big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you." The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Williams, do you know the defense attorney?" She again replied, "Why, yes I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. I used to babysit him for his parents. He’s been a real disappointment to me too. He's lazy, bigoted; he has a drinking problem. The man can't build a normal relationship with anyone. And his law practice is one of the shoddiest in the entire state." At this point, the judge rapped the courtroom to silence and called both counsellors to the bench. In a very quiet voice, he said with menace, "If either of you asks her if she knows me, you'll be in jail for contempt within 5 minutes!" Ahh, isn’t it so true that our reputations are either infected or respected by our actions!

Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United. Today’s message is a great reminder that the more we participate in private party logic, the less we hear, let alone act upon, our faith. What are you fighting today? Are you fighting your flesh The world Your sins? That creature within That beckons you Follows you Coddles your mind Telling you lies Trying to dim the Flame that’s inside An invisible war A constant fight Who’s going to win this time? You have all power You have all authority By the name of Jesus Christ Because of what He’s done You have already won what are you so afraid of? Fear of failure Fear of man Fear of never being able to understand How to break free But darling don’t you see? You are already free All you must do Is simply believe But simple it’s not When the creature of your thoughts Strangles your mind & tries to take your precious time Because faith is not just a word No, it’s a verb A daily decision to consciously be ridden Of all doubts & all demons That so easily slip in But where that creature is So also is His Holy Spirit living Your Helper your Friend But by faith You must choose To light the flame & let Him move The mountains The caves The heart As it breaks Little by little He is making a way Back to His arms Day by day Grace upon grace “& these signs will accompany those who have believed in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;” - Mark 16:17 “...the word BELIEVE implies an on-going, continuous conscious act…. The Pure Word Bible editors cited that the word “believe” at the time of the KJV Bible was first available (in the early 17th century) actually connotes the concept of “commitment”, to be committing on an ongoing conscious basis. In today’s English vernacular use of the word believe, we have a less rigorous and continuous embrace of what it is being believed…this very subtly implies a different approach that is more instance oriented than continuous. …knowing that to believe, to commit starts out as a decided conscious act & process. It is intended to become a continuous state of living, being, as natural as breathing.” - Nancy Youngbrandt with Richard Sydor, The Staff and Sword Ministry (July 2023 Newsletter) Faith-Filled Friday Have you ever been caught doing something you knew you shouldn’t? If
you have, there was a sense of exposure that accompanied that unwanted secret to be found out and it’s not the greatest of feelings. Thanks for joining us for Faith Filled Friday with Debra Dolce and Trench Classes United. Today’s love letter is a great reminder that when He exposes us, it’s not to shame us but to free us. ~Love Letter~ For all of your faults and flaws are in full view of Me. Everything you want to hide, I search out and expose by the radiance of My face. Oh My love, this is done with such expertise. Not like those on earth who expose to hurt you, or to get something. My exposure comes to heal you and set you free. Isn't freedom so much better than having things hidden? When you walk in freedom things are clearer. I show you the faults and flaws so that you will recognize and surrender them to Me. When you hide things, then there is a wedge between us and that won't work for Me. The best thing is you don't have to walk this out alone. I am here to strengthen you. I'll walk beside you each step of the way directing you in the right way and as you yield and practice this newfound freedom, those faults and flaws will become less and less. Commit to changing those as we work together. Beloved, come and spend time with Me and let the Holy Spirit do His awesome work, strengthening you to walk afresh and anew. ~DebraDolce Thursdays Trench Truth What does that look like? I’m so glad you asked. It is the act of focusing…
On what’s right instead of what’s wrong On the Problem Solver instead of the problem On the Healer, not the stealer On the Triumphant one, not the tragedy On the One who never leaves, not the ones who left On the Provider, not the provision On the Author of life, not all the takers On the Promise Keeper, not the broken promise On the One that is greater in me than he who is in the world On His strength, not my weakness On His love for me and not the hatred all around us Friend, these situations, circumstances and seasons we find ourselves in our opportunities for God to be God in our lives, opportunities to change the direction of our focus that we may be more than conquerors in Christ Jesus.

(Philippians 1:6) Love, Kim-Evinda Tuesday Trench Truth I just read a novel by Kristen Hanna called Home Front, which described
the price that our service men and women pay for our freedom. The main character, who was a helicopter pilot, lost her leg in the Iraq war, and it went into great detail about the struggles of learning to live with part of her gone. However, Romans 8:28 rings clearly throughout the story for in the losing of her leg, she found her true identity. Today, as we celebrate in our own way with family and friends, may we remember that freedom is never free, but it is freeing. Say a prayer for all of our service men and women. |
