Annalee Reyes invites you to find peace and healing in the finished work and unconditional love of Jesus.
The keys of authority over every form of death that kept you down, that tries to keep you down, was gifted to the prince of lies by the first Adam (man) in the first garden.
🔑
But while in the garden tomb, The Second Adam, (The Son of Man) took back the keys of the dominion of the realm of death and hell. By entering into death Himself, Jesus, annihilated the effects of the accuser who once held that power. (Hebrews 2:14).

At noon, the brightest hour of the day when the sun is directly overhead, the world became black with complete darkness for three hours (Mark 15:33) the day the Son of God, Love’s True Light, absorbed the entirety of humanity’s curses.
It was within those final three hours, the principalities and powers of darkness that separated us from His Presence were upon His soul as Jesus Himself became our sin and everything that is a result of sin: judgment, punishment, guilt, condemnation, shame, sicknesses, diseases, even death itself.
He was disconnected from the Father, so we could be forever one with Him in His resurrection. He took our place, so we could take His.
Becoming a man of sorrows, He was acquainted with the deepest grief, pain and sickness. No one in all human history has suffered to the extent Jesus suffered for His children on this day 2,000+ years ago. Marred beyond recognition, He did it for you.
Even before His arrest in the garden of Gethsemane; Jesus began His suffering for you, redeeming you. He was in such agony of spirit that His sweat fell to the ground as drops of blood (Luke 22:44). He knows about stress beloved; He took yours to give you peace.
He knows what’s on your mind. He wore the crown of thorns so you could have a sound mind, crowned in His glory and honor as His royal child. And He knows your troubled heart. Because that’s what He died of. On the cross, his heart burst open. He died of a broken heart to make yours whole.
There’s nothing He wouldn’t do for you because He’s already done it all for you. “It Is Finished.”
Good Friday is a Good Father. This is how much your Papa loves you beloved. It was His very will to crush His Son and cause Him to suffer so you could come home to His heart and be held, healed and blessed (Isaiah 53:10).
Daddy God Who was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself to get His kids back, spared nothing to free you from curse and death to release the flood tide of Grace over your life.
On that cross, midday became midnight so you could live in His love-light no matter how dark your days may feel. The Passover Lamb has been slain and roasted. His perfection passed on to you. Freely partake of His perfect love for you.
Thank you Jesus.
Happy Good Friday! Happy Passover!

As a teen, I never had a problem with acne. It wasn’t until I was an adult, married and raising a family, that this monster surfaced in my life.
Adult acne; really?! Ugh! It was the one thing that became a real stronghold for me for many years. I’m being vulnerable here when I say it made me want to hide. I felt less than beautiful on many occasions as well as insecure and self-conscious. And introspection is the worst thing. Because when we are focused on self, we aren’t focused on Jesus, Who is our real self.

Hopefully this testimony will be cut and dry just like my husband’s deliverance.
Nearly ten years ago, when Carlos was in his 18th season of professional baseball, he was set-free from the addiction of alcoholism.
Even before he signed as an amateur free agent in 1991, college life had already opened the door to drinking. First socially then used as an outlet to help him relax, drinking beer seemed like no big deal and was just another part of the game.
It wasn’t long, however, before the repercussions of a former messy divorce, the pressure of performing in the big leagues, the stress of tireless travel and making the transition from “change-up king” to “coach” made way for alcohol to become his source of coping.

Don’t ever underestimate the power of a testimony. Not only do they give glory to God by revealing His goodness, they release hope and belief for the favor and love of a Father to breakthrough in your life beyond all you can ask or think.
I have been wanting to share this particular testimony publicly for years. There are a few that know the story well. And I believe I can speak for each of us when I say that what took place in the year of 2015, was a complete game changer in our lives.

I know the power of a testimony. I have been changed by many and have changed my mind about God (being renewed in my mind about His never-changing goodness) in hundreds. I, myself, have too many testimonies to share. The more you see who He really is (Perfect Love), the more you experience His miracles; His very life.
Testimonies reveal the love and goodness of a Father who lives to bless you, so you can know Him more. It’s why He sent His Son. He wants you to encounter Him. Revelations 12:11 says we overcome the devil’s accusations by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.
Every Tuesday, I’ll be sharing a new testimony that I pray will transform your heart and mind, increasing your capacity to believe He is better than you ever imagined. Today’s testimony may be simple. But Jesus is not only powerful, He is practical. He cares about every single detail of your life.

“Live in Me. Make your home in Me just as I do in you. In the same way that a branch can’t bear grapes by itself but only by being joined to the vine, you can’t bear fruit unless you are joined with Me. “I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you’re joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant.”
John 15:4-8 MSG
So, let’s be real. Do you ever feel like God is constantly asking of you? Do you feel as if He is looking over your shoulder expecting your best performance?
Do you feel as though your life is a roller coaster of feeling loved one minute and feeling like you have to go out and be the world’s Savior the next? Does guilt weigh down the scales over grace? Do you wake up day after day feeling as if you have to do “for” Him or strive for moral excellency?

If you’ve been trusting God for your breakthrough but haven’t seen the full manifestation of it yet, don’t give up hope!
Instead, choose to give thanks and celebrate even the smallest progress (30%). Because like the seed sown on good soil, all you need to do is keep hearing His Word of grace and love toward you. Keep believing His promise is a finished work and keep receiving His gift of righteousness and unearned favor especially when you feel you least deserve it.
And Holy Spirit will do the rest.
Beloved, don’t try to have big faith. Don’t put your faith in your faith. Faith is a Person. It’s all about Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of your faith. He is all you need.
He believes perfectly for you, on your behalf, even when you’re struggling with doubt. Simply rest in His Faith by trusting in His unfailing love.
Don’t let worry choke the flow. Don’t let the lies take root. Feed on the Word of Truth that point you all to your Savior and the glory of your identity in Him!
And like that seed planted in good ground (that’s you, co-buried and co-resurrected in Christ), you will move from a 30 percent breakthrough of blessings to 60, then 100 TIMES what was sown in your heart!
“And other seed fell into good soil, and as the plants grew and increased, they yielded a crop and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundred times [as much as had been sown].” Mark 4:8 AMP
Remember, the farmer did the sowing. The farmer is your Father! He’s got you and He knows what He is doing. See your Daddy God’s heart for you and see your harvest grow! You’ll reap exceedingly beyond what you hoped for.
That’s grace.
Let Him do the doing. And you simply surrender to be His.
Resting In His Love,

We all worry at times. But being in a perpetual state of worry or anxiety is unbelief.
We stress because we don’t believe our Savior finished the work of becoming our sin and making us righteous in Him. We panic because we have forgotten our Prince of Peace paid for our promises. We fret because we take thought of our troubles, instead of taking them captive and bringing them to the obedience of Christ on the cross (2 Corinthians 10:3-5), where they were made extinct!
Beloved, when you are in unrest (striving inwardly) it’s as if God rests. But when you, who are seated in Christ (far above all principality and power), take up your position of rest, He works. When you let go, His grace flows.
When you carry the load of your burdens and cares, you are in essence saying that the work of redemption is not complete.
But Jesus, The Lover of your soul, is saying to you, “Unload your concerns on Me by being real with Me. Release the weight of that which I bore. All you need and desire is found in Me. Let not your heart be troubled by simply trusting in My perfect love for you.”
So here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Leave all your cares and anxieties at the feet of the Lord, and measureless grace will strengthen you.
Psalms 55:22 TPT
