WRONG TURN

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

My prayer for you today is that you are under the umbrella of the Lord's peace.  I pray that you are blessed and highly favored of the Lord Jesus Christ.
 
I have noticed that most of you are between the ages of 25-30, so I want to remind you of God's grace and mercy that He will always have towards you, unfailing.
 
When I was in my early twenties, I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior (I was saved).  I thought that since I was saved that I wouldn't do anything else wrong in my life.  That all my sins were washed away.  I didn't think that I would have to participant in the washing of my sins.  When I realized that I had a lot of work to do in my life, things didn't go well for me right away. 
 
Somewhere in my life, I made a wrong turn and I didn't know how to change the circumstances in that wrong turn.  I didn't know how to go back and follow after the Lord.  I thought that I was too far gone.  I got married at a very young age, 19.  After our divorce I met someone else that was very familiar with drugs.  I can't say that he made me do them, because I had a choice and the choice that I made was wrong.  Do you ever feel like everything is going wrong at the same time?  Well that's the way that I felt. I spent rent money and any money that I had on drugs.  I didn't know how to back up and take a different route, the one that the Lord wanted me to take.  The only thing that kept me sane was knowing that the Lord already knew that I would take a wrong turn.  God already knows whatever you are going to do and whatever you won't do before we do it.  Knowing that still didn't get me back on the right road.  I messed up so many times and had broken so many promises to the Lord.  Sometimes I felt like the Lord was sitting up in heaven just shaking His head at me.  The Lord knew them that I would not keep my promise, but I still continuously made them, time after time.
 
Now let me fast forward.  I am 48 years old and I am just now starting to finally get my life together.  I am also able to keep some of my promises to the Lord.  But I thank Him everyday that He is not done with me.  One day I asked my daughter if she was embarrassed by some of the blogs I write when it concerns my past life.  She said, "no mom, I think about it not how you go in, it's how you come out".

Woman of God, the reason why I have given you a short testimony of my life is so that you can come to the realization that the Lord knows all about you and every thing that you will do way before you do it.  The Lord's grace and mercy is what we live by.  You don't have to be perfect, you just need to have purpose.  What I mean by that is that you just have to have it in your heart that you will try to do better.  Your main purpose in life is to get to the point where you aren't breaking any promises and if you do, don't be hard on yourself just keep going.  I want you to know that if you make a wrong turn have your heart set on your will to do right, that is what the Lord is looking for.  You will never be perfect but the Lord will accept you striving towards perfection.  As they say in drug rehab, take it one day at a time, keep coming back.  If you keep coming back, taking one day at a time, the Lord can still use you in whatever state that you are in because He knows your heart.  PRAISE THE LORD, AMEN!

HE HEARS YOUR CRIES

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I pray that you are all blessed and highly favored of the Lord Jesus Christ on today.

(Psalms 34:17-20), The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.
 
Woman of God, today the Lord wants you to know that if you follow after Him, He will shoot you into a place where the enemy can't find your.  Somewhere in Him where the enemy can't trace your footsteps.  The Lord says that you are righteous and above all your shortcomings.  You are considered righteous before God if you truly love Him and desire to follow after Him.  I say desire because we all fall short of the glory of the Lord.  But if you desire to follow after the Lord and are seeking His face daily, your are counted righteous.  God doesn't say that you have to be perfect; just have purpose.
 
Many of you have already been brokenhearted and troubled in your spirit.  There are times when you don't know which way to go, but the Lord says that He will make your footsteps perfect, if you are willing and desire to follow after Him.  The Lord is willing and He is able to keep you out of the the devils reach.  The only thing that the Lord requires of you; is that you follow after Him with everything you got, with your very being, your soul, your heart and your spirit.  If you desire the spirit of the Lord to rest upon you, then you must change your way of thinking and begin to think on the things of the spirit.  Meaning you must desire the Lord in your spirit.  Your body is only a shell, covering your spirit.  Everyone has a soul and spirit, but not everyone seeks after the Lord with their spirit.
 
If you ever get to the point in your life where you don't feel the Lord's protection, or you are wondering if He is hearing your cries, just think back over your past and how far you have come and you will recall how many times the Lord could have left you but He didn't.  Think about the thing and places that you have gone, and you know you should not have; the Lord kept you safe.  Think about the abuse that you went through, if it had not been for the Lord's protection, you would have lost your mind.  Think about the drugs you might have done, if it had not been for the Lord's divine intervention you might have taken something that would have killed you.  Think about it!  PRAISE GOD! AMEN!
 
I have asked you to plz. let me know about the conference, I have gotten one response.  I don't want to get on your nerves and if no ones wants to be involved, that's okay too.  Just pray about and be obedient to the Lord.  I'm not upset, but obediance has to start somewhere and I think that I am at least entitled to an answer.  God bless you.

WOMEN'S CONFERENCE


Hello, Mighty Woman of God!

I need your help.  I am trying to hold a Woman's Conference in the Chicagoland area in late May.  I know that this is way ahead of time but I need to get things in order.  It will take me some time to find a venue and pay for it.  Probably from now until May to finish paying.  The cost will be nothing for you to attend but what I need from you is to know if my trip will be worth the drive.  I am from Dolton and live in Georgia now.  If you think that you will make the conference or if you are willing to attend please let me know by either leaving me a message with OKAY or in the comment box at the bottom of this blog put your name.  Again I realize that your schedule may change before May and you might not be able to attend.  If I get at least 75 names and only 50 show up, that's good.  If I get 75 names and only 10 show up, then I will minister to you.  I am not charging, it's not about the money, its about my hotel and venue to pay.  I just want to know if you would like to meet me personally.  God is doing a new thing for all of us.
 
Thank you for taking time to give me an answer.

THE FIERY FURNACE


Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I pray that you are all blessed and highly favored of the Lord Jesus Christ and that you have peace in your heart and mind, in Jesus name.
 
(Daniel 3:25 and 27), He answered and said, lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. And the princes, governors, ad captains and the king' counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head harmed, neither were their coats chanced, or the smell of fire had passed on them.
 
Woman of God, if you trust in Jesus, He will always be with you.  You have been through the fire and the hot flames of the devil but Jesus has been with you all the way.  If it had not been so, you would have lost your mind a long time ago.  These three men, held on to their belief, that God was the only one that they would pray to or bow down to.  They put their life in God's hands.
 
You have been passed through and abusive relationship, people talking about you, drug addiction, low self-esteem, alcohol issue, put out on the streets, loss of a job and electricity cut off and so much more.  If it were not for Jesus you should have lost your mind.  Let the peace of God that surpasses all knowledge continue to be your strength.  When you come out of the furnace you will not have a burn or signs of even being in your fiery trial.  Your clothes will not get burned and just like the king seeing the Son of God protecting the three Hebrew boys, the Son of God is keeping you safe.
 
Sometimes we go through so much in our lives and we wonder why God hasn't stepped in to save us.  It is because God knows your potential.  God is setting you up for His ministry.  God needs for you to be able to take the stings of life without a burn or a hair on your head harmed.  He wants to see what you will do even in your fiery furnace.  God wants to know will you still trust Him.  Young ladies, you will soar through all your fiery furnace trials if you keep your trust in Jesus.  When the enemy looks at you, he will see you and Jesus right at your side.  There is nothing (no thing) that will keep you from the love of Christ and after you have done all that you can, STAND and let Jesus pick you up and take every burden from you.  Jesus has a way of making your burdens lite if you trust in Him.  He knows what you are struggling with and He does not hold that against you, if you are trying to push forward in your life.  GIVE GOD THE PRAISE!

GOD IS NOT DONE

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I pray that you are all doing well in every aspect of your life on today.
 
(Philippians 1:6-7), And I am sure that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on that day when Christ Jesus comes back again.  It is right that I feel this way about you, for you have a very special place in my heart.
 
Woman of God, first I would like to let you know that as I read this scripture, written by Apostle Paul, I thought about each and every one of you.  In verse seven, Paul and I have the same goals and feelings for the people of God.  Although I don't know you, I pray for each of you daily with all my heart.  I write this daily devotions in hope that I may win some over to the Lord and that I can continue to give you hope and peace in your heart.
 
God has begun a good work in each of you.  We all make mistakes along the way, but it is Christ Jesus that has already paved the way for you.  All you have to do is keep seeking the Lord and be obedient to Him.  If you have made a mistake today, yesterday or last week, you have already been forgiven.  Let that day go!  Keep striving towards the mark of your higher calling.  Do not judge yourself on what you see today, because "God Is Not Done" with you yet.
 
Sometimes we judge ourselves very harshly and our mind will make us believe that we have messed up for the final time.  We think to ourselves that we won't make it in our trials in this life.  The next time you are tempted to judge yourself, look in the mirror and just say, "God Is Not Done".  So what you went to the club last night.  So what you are still dealing with trying to quit smoking.  So what you are still shacking up with your significant other.  So what you promised God that you won't mess up again.  "God Is Not Done" with you.  If you stop judging yourself then it will be easier for you to release the things of flesh and be filled with the things of the spirit.
 
One more thing.  Never let anyone else judge you to the point that you feel ashamed or embarrassed.  People always look at another persons sin in order to keep others from looking at them.  God has begun a good work in you and His word will not return to Him void.  That means that God's word concerning your life will not return to Him without accomplishing what He has say about you.  God knows what you are struggling with and He knows what you are capable of achieving.  God knows your heart and "God Is Not Done" with you yet.  GIVE GOD THE PRAISE!! AMEN!

CUSTOMER SERVICE


Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I speak blessings of hope, love and peace upon you on today.  I pray that you are all blessed in whatever your endeavors are in the Lord.  Seek God first in everything that you do, and all things will be added to you.

(Proverbs 15:1-4), A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.  The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.
 
You know the last person that you want to talk to is customer service people.  You don't want to call your utility companies or bill collector to make arrangements because of their customer service department.  I used to be so scared to call the phone company or any other company for that matter.  I had my older sister call the phone company for me back when everyone didn't have cell phones.  Customer Service employees seem to be just mean at times.  They can also be somewhat scary.  You already feel bad that you have to call them and they somehow have a way of bullying you over the phone.  It used to be that the customer is always right, now they get paid by how much money they have collected.
 
Well here is something that I have learned and also told my children to do as well.  The way to handle people in customer service are really people.  You never know what kind of day the other person has had.  Nine times out of ten, this technique will work.  First of all a gentle voice does turn away wrath.  As soon as the customer service person picks up the phone, they will tell you their name.  Your first response to them should be to acknowledge them by repeating their name.  This gets their attention and you have now developed a relationship.  Whatever you say to them from that point on, keep saying their name.  This calms both of you down.  It really works.
 
Now as far as on your job or your relationships at home, you have a better chance of turning away wrath than getting yourself into a shouting match if you are speaking to that person in a calm voice.  This is the type of wisdom that God is trying to teach you.  If you find that it is not working you can do the next best thing, which is to reply, "God bless you, and thank you then walk away.  That person will look at you very strange, but this will indeed let them now that you are truly a Christian and a peculiar type of person.  Jesus says that we are to be peculiar type of person.  The other person will definitely feel foolish.  PRAISE GOD!  AMEN!

GET DOWN . . . TO GET UP


Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God.

I speak the spirit of peace upon each of you.  That you have peace in your mind and in your heart.  I come against the spirit of heaviness in the name of Jesus.

Psalms (95:6-7), Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, the flock under his care.

Woman of God, sometimes the trials in your life may cause you to "get down, to get up."  What the scripture is saying, is that you should bow down in worship.  Get on your knees before God.  

We are not equal with God.  He is God and we are His creation under His care.  You have situations, circumstances, trials and tribulations that you desire for God to see you through.  Do you get on your knees when you pray?  Do you just say a prayer on your way to work or whatever your daily duties consist of?  You should take the time to bow down before your maker.  If you want God to bless you and your circumstances and to give you strength as you go through difficult situations, you should get on your knees and bow before the King.  You don't deserve to be in the presence of the Almighty God, but because of His grace and mercy, you are allowed to boldly come before the throne of grace.  Because of God's love and kindness for you, He allows you to come before Him and worship.

Moses was a great servant of God.  He did everything that he could to please God.  When Moses asked to see God's glory, God told Moses that He would allow him to see His glory, but Moses had to turn his eyes and was able to see God pass by him.  God's glory is way too much for your eyes to bare.  Back in the bible days, when a King came into the presence of his people, they bowed down to him.  Don't you think that the King of Kings and Lord of Lord's deserve more than a person that has not died for your sins?

In order for you to get to the highest form of worship, you must "get down, to get up".  In order for your prayers to reach the heavens, you must "get down, to get up".  In order for you to be strengthen and receive the power that God desires for you to have, you must "get down, to get up".  Get down on your knees, stretch out your arms, bow down your head and worship God.  If you change the way your worship, then God will change the circumstances in your life for the good.  God has a way of taking your bad situation and turning it around for His glory.  When you bow down before God, you are reverencing Him in all His splendor and beauty.  If you "get down, to get up", you will feel the Holy Spirit's presence and your prayer life will never be the same.  If you want a closer relationship with God, you have to get down and God will lift you up.  Praise God, Amen!

GOD'S FRAME


Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

Today the Lord has an awesome message for all of us.  I pray that you are blessed by it.

(Job 1:6-10), Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.  And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou?  Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.  And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?  Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?  Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?  thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

I had to put the all of those scriptures so that you will gain full knowledge of the scripture.  The beginning of the scripture the sons of God is representing the angels, and Satan came with them.  The Lord asked Satan why he was there.  Satan says that he has been to and from searching for someone that he can devour.  The Lord tells Satan that Job was an upright servant and would never be against the Lord.  Satan tells the Lord that Job was so upright because the Lord has given him so much.  Why wouldn't Job fear you Lord, you have placed a hedge of protection around him and his house?

The Lord God has put you in a frame.  Imagine this: when you put your pictures in a frame, you do it because you want to see them at all times.  You also put them in a frame to keep them from getting wrinkles, wet or damaged in any way.  Once you put your pictures in a frame you know that they are safe from getting damaged.  If your frame accidentally falls on the floor, the picture will still be safe.  You just pick up the frame and put it back on the shelf.  Now you can continue to admire it on the shelf.  In other words you have put your picture in a frame on the shelf so that not only will it be safe but it you will also be able to watch it at all times.

Woman of God, God has put you in a frame.  This frame around you will keep you from Satan's fiery darts.  This frame around you will keep you in God's sight.  The Lord God will keep that frame around you and put you high above anything that has the potential of harming you.  Now if you fall, because of God's frame around you, you will not get wrinkled or torn.  God will pick you up and put you back on the shelf, the frame around you will be still intact.  God will look at you on the shelf every now and again to make sure that your frame is keeping you from harm.  While God has you in a frame He has His eyes on you at all times, admiring you.  He will keep you in His frame until He decides that you are able to withstand the enemy.  There will be times in your life, where you are not able to handle the obstacles that Satan will throw your way.

Remember in the scripture that Satan had to get permission from God to bother Job.  Satan has to get permission from God to bother you.  If God has given Satan permission to bother you, then God knows that you can and will be just fine through your trial.  After your trial your reward will be greater than whatever you have lost in the fight.  Praise God for the Frame.  Amen!

THE COCOON


Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I pray that you are all blessed and highly favored of the Lord on today.  I am very happy at the testimonies of the Lord's blessings that I see and hear.
 
(Psalms 27:5-6), For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling, He will hide me in the shelter of His tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.  Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at His tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the Lord.

Once the caterpillar is ready to change, she knows exactly what to do.  She climbs up in a tree where no other insects will be able to touch her while she is about to go through the most dramatic change in her life.  She sits in the tree and begins her transformation.  A cocoon slowly covers her until her whole body is covered in the cocoon.  She stays safely in her cocoon until she is ready to be uncovered.  Slowly the cocoon that was keeping her safe during her transformation begins to fall off of her body.  Once the cocoon is shedding she pushes her way through all the shedding and she is now a beautiful butterfly.  She spreads her wings that are draped with beautiful colors and now she is ready to fly.

God says that you are His caterpillar.  He will hide safely under His wings until you are ready to fly on your own.  He will place you high upon a rock..keeping you safe from the enemy.  He will cover you and slowly feed you until you can feed yourself.  While you are in God cocoon, He is showing you His love, mercy, grace and His favor.  While you are wrapped in God's cocoon He will keep you hid from Satan.  You will remain in His cocoon while He is transforming you and preparing you to become His beautiful butterfly.  No one will be able to touch you or cause you great harm because of His loving arms protected you. 

People have wrote you off, said that you will never amount to anything in life.  People have told you that you are different from your siblings.  You were always the last one picked in any school games and you were told that your were the ugly duckling.

God will shield you from the ugliness of this world.  From the people that would only bring you sorrow, pain and mean to bring you harm in your life.  Now God says it's time to show the world just how beautiful you truly are.  How beautiful of a woman you are on the inside and outside.  He has shed you out of your cocoon.  You see your beautiful and colorful wings, you smile at God.  God then says "It's time for you to fly".   He is about to show you off to the world.  He is about to show you off to all the people that wrote you off, abused you and caused you pain while you were a caterpillar.  He has given you wings strong enough to go against the fiery darts of the enemy and to guide another caterpillar to Him.  You will show another caterpillar just how compassionate God truly is and how He will hid her until she is ready to become a beautiful butterfly.

Fly now my little beautiful butterfly.  Show the world what you are made of.  Show the world my beauty through you.  Give the Lord praise!  Amen!

BREAKING OUT OF SHAME


Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

(Psalms 55:18) He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

When I think about the Lord and all He's done for me, my soul cries out HALLELUJAH!  When I look back over my life and I think things over, I can truly say, that I've been blessed!

Woman of God, If you look back over your life and think about all the tears that you've cried, all the times you just had to fall to your knees, all the times that you thought that you couldn't take another step, think about all the times that you were in a situation and God's mercy keep you alive. There were times in your life that your mother may have chosen a boyfriend over your well being.

I'll go a little further.  There were times in my life that I had cried so many tears, and thought I should have run out of tears.  There were times in my life that I could have taken the wrong drugs and overdosed.  There were times in my life that I could have caught a disease that was not curable with a shot.  There were times in my life that I could have been raped because I trusted men too much.  There were times in my life where I didn't look my age because of drug use.  There were times in my life that I did not have sex with a man unless he had money to pay for my time.  Now, I am not saying that I was a prostitute on a corner, but what I did was prostituted myself in a more classy way (so I thought).  I was just the kind of woman that men desired and I used my looks to get whatever I wanted from them.  I was very good at manipulated men.

I am telling you this because I know that I am not the only one in the ministry that has done something that they should not have or should not be doing when it comes to men.  This is a powerful as well as a shameful testimony.  But I have to be honest with you as I promised in the beginning of the start of this ministry. 

The end of this testimony is even better.  It was God's mercy and grace that has given me another chance at life.  God's had to have had His hands on my life because I know that it was only God that kept me alive and safe through all my mess, mistakes and shortcomings.  God loved me even when I thought that I wasn't lovable.  God had to reach way down in the mud to get me (I mean way down).  I thought that I was too far gone from God and He would never accept me back.  But through God's mercy He decided that I was worth saving.  You are worth saving.   My life was not always on the road to Jesus.  I was not always the type of woman that a person would come to for prayer.  I was not always the type of woman that could be used by God.  It has taken me more than half my life to become a godly woman.  Not that I have achieved all that God desires of me, but I am striving toward the mark of the high calling on my life.  I have finally started to walk on the path that is fulfilling God's purpose and perfect will for my life.

I want you to know that no matter where you come from, no matter what demonic spirits you have dealt with, it is only God that will bring you out of a life of shame.  Something that you would never want anyone to know, God knows and He still wants you.  God uses me to be a living testimony for His glory.  Without any shame because Jesus Christ died for my sins and sits at the right hand of God the Father, pleaded my case before Him.  It is Jesus Christ that speaks in the ear of God the Father and tells Him that you are usable, you will come out of shame, you are worth His mercy.  It is ultimately Jesus Christ that tells God the Father that you will become a living testimony and will have compassion on other women that may be living a life of shame.  God's mercy kept you through the tough times and it is His mercy that says you can never go too far from Him, His eyes are on the sparrow and He watches over you.  Praise God, Amen!

Heavenly Father, I thank you for keeping me safe.  Even when I did not act like your child and even when I did things that not even I am proud of Your mercy sustained.  Father thank You for forgiving me and turning my life around.  I love You Father, in Jesus name, Amen.

MERCIFUL EYES

Good Morning, Mighty Woman oF God!

The Lord has given me a blessed word for us today.  As usual in my worship and praise time He has given this message for us today.
 
(Psalms 51:1-2),  Have mercy upon me, O God according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.  Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sins.
 
The Lord Jesus Christ is so compassionate and merciful toward you.  If you are thinking that you have done so many things wrong in your life and God won't forgive you, God wants you to know that you have been washed from the innermost parts of your body.  You have been cleanse of all of your sins, since the day that you accepted His Son, Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.  God has blotted out all your sins, anything that you have done wrong in your life.  No matter what you have dealt with (fornication, adultery, stealing, lying, etc.).  You have been forgiven.  There is nothing ( no thing), that you have not been that God will not cleansed you from in your life.
 
Woman of God, when the Lord God looks at you, He looks at you through His merciful eyes. His merciful eyes does not see what you used to be, He sees what you can become.  His merciful eyes sees what you have the potential to become.  God looks at you through merciful eyes whenever you make a mistake and ask pray for forgiveness.  Because of God's lovingkindness, He delivers you from Satan when he rises up against you.  God's merciful eyes will lead you besides the still waters and restore your soul. God's merciful eyes will see when are in trouble and hid you under the wings of His angels.  God's merciful eyes sees you as a beautiful woman, not the woman that was picked on and picked out to be talked about. 
 
God's merciful eyes does not see the woman that I used to be.  His merciful eyes does not see the woman that was strung out on drugs.  His merciful eyes does not see the woman that went to places that I should not have been.  God's merciful eyes saw what I could become whenever I would decide to follow after Him and not some man. I am forever grateful for God's merciful eyes and His lovingkindness that blotted out all my transgressions and restore my soul.  Give God the praise for His mercifuls eyes.  Amen!

If you are interested in purchasing a copy of "Spiritual Growth for Women - Breaking Shackles"), visit www.Amazon.com or www.Barnes and Nobel.com.  Thank you so much for those of you that have supported the ministry by purchasing the book. 

I must say that I am not trying to get rich, God will support everything that I do as long I stay connected to Him and go forth to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.  My prayer is that I will be able to have funds to go out and minister.  Help those in need and have the finances to hold womens conferences without having them to pay any money.  God bless you, always.

WALK IN CHRIST


Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I pray that you all are blessed and highly favored on today.  I speak that a spirit of peace and joy will overtake you as you are seeking the Lord Jesus Christ.

(Colossians 2:6-8), As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him: Rooted and built up in Him; strengthen in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thanksgiving.  See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.

To receive Jesus Christ is to have consented to Him, taken Him for ours in every relation and every capacity.  If you are a Christian, the great command for you is to walk with Him.  You must walk with Him in your daily course and keep up communication with Him.  The more closely that you walk with Christ the more you will become rooted and grounded. 
 
You cannot be built up in Christ, unless you are first rooted in Him.  You must be united to Him by having lively faith, and heartily consent to His covenant.  You must be established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding therein, and this with thanksgiving.  The way to have the full benefits and comfort of God's grace is to have faith and just begin giving thanks to the Lord for it. 

Such a study of the works of God has to leads you to the knowledge of God and confirm your faith in Jesus Christ.  But there are other philosophy's which is vain and deceitful, which is prejudicial to religion, and set up the wisdom of man in competition with the wisdom of God.  While it pleases men's fancies, it ruins their faith. 
 
People have mixed the philosophy of people that refuse to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God with their Christian principles. If they are practices other religion that does not preach the Word of God they have alienated their minds from Christ and they want you to follow them.  Meaning that if you don't stay rooted in Jesus Chris someone can easily come to you and confuse your faith and knowledge if you don't know or have wisdom in the Word of God.  Their are a lot deceivers in the world are in competition with it Christians, and will try to contradict your beliefs.
 
You are complete in Christ.  He is the Lord and head of all the powers in heave and earth, of angels and men. I pray that this message will be a blessing to you and give you knowledge when it comes to people that don't believe in Jesus Christ and the fact that Christ died, rose again and shed His blood so that you and I can receive salvation through Him.  Because of your belief and unwavering faith in Christ after you depart from this world you will spend eternity with the Lord Jesus Christ.  Praise God, Amen!

PRESS TOWARDS THE GOAL


Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I praise the Lord Jesus for each of you and you are always in my prayers.  More than anything, I pray that you have been blessed by the Lord's daily messages.  I always say, the Lord's message because I wait for Him to give me the scriptures and messages by studying the Word.
 
(Philippians 3:13-15), Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.  But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and strainig toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.  All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you.  Only let us live up to what we have already attained.
 
The Apostle Paul wrote this letter while he was in prison.  In the first part of the scripture, Paul is basically stating that He is not perfect.  In Paul's past life, he was a tax collector and a murdered, yet God used him to minister to others.  Paul had repented from his past behavior and became one of Jesus Christ disciples.  He states that he is forgetting about his past sins and pushing towards what is ahead of him.  You can never go forward if you are still looking at your past and still not working towards getting to heaven.  Paul's goal of a Christian is to be with the Lord Jesus in heaven.  That is what he works towards in his daily activities.  In the latter part of the scriptures, Paul is saying that if Christians are in disagreement over the scriptures don't get upset with each other, stay on course and God will give you the knowledge the scriptures.  Then Paul is saying that we should live up to to knowledge that you already have.  You are not ignorant to the things that God desires of you in order to walk in His plans for your life.
 
Woman of God, if you are a Christian your main goal should be to seek the Lord God daily so that you will get your reward in heaven. Your reward in heaven is a crown of glory.  Your daily life and behavior should be striveing towards your higher calling which is to live in eternity with Jesus Christ in heaven.  All of your past sins are forgotten by the Lord, so you should forget what is behind you.  If you are trying to make up for your past behavior, it cannot be done.  Forget your sins that are in the past and keep aiming forward towards Christ Jesus.
 
Share with others that don't in darkness about the love of Christ.  There are a numerous of people that are in need for you to minister to them about the Lord's compassion, mercy and grace that He has towards them.  If you think that you have to earn the Lord's love, you are wasting precious time by looking at your past sins, which God has forgotten.  You cannot earn God's love, it is given freely to those of us that have proclaimed that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God and Christ has died for the sins of the world. Meaning that just because you are a minister God doesn't love you more than the persons sitting in the pews, the homeless people that you pass by everyday or a person that is dealing with addiction.  Everyone should know that God's love is unconditionally.  He loves you in spite of your sinful nature.  God hates sin, but He will always love the sinner, if you repent and pray for forgiveness.  Your goal as as Christian is to press towards heaven where you will receive your crown.  The Lord God knows that you are not perfect, yet if you are in His perfect will; you will receive your reward in heaven.  Praise God, Amen!

YOU WERE CHOSEN


Good Morning, Woman of God!

I pray that you are all safe and had a joyous holiday.  I speak blessings of peace and joy upon your lives.  I pray for those that are seeking employment that the Lord God will bless you and your finances.
 
(Romans 8:28-33), And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.  For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the first born among many brothers.  And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.  What, then, shall we say in response to this?  If God is for us, who can be against us?  He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?  Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen?  It is God who justifies.
 
Woman of God, you were predestined in the likeness of Christ,  chosen by Him before you were even born.  The Lord wants you to understand that if you love Him, and get in line with His purpose; then there is nothing that He won't do for you.  Since the Lord God predestined you he has called you to be a workman for Him.  If you get are called by Him and love Him, He will justify you, glorify you and graciously give you all things.  You have to get in line with the Lord's pupose for your life, then He will justify and glorify you, in front of your enemies.  He will make your enemies your footstool.  There is no one that will be against you as long as you are in His perfect will for your lives.
 
God the Father sacrificed His own Son for you.  Why would He not give you all things to make sure that all things will work out for you.  You are called for His purpose.  If you are not lined up with God, then He is not going to be with you in your times of distress.  God's will for your life is that you work for Him by being a servant towards all people.  He will make your path straight so that you can accomplish His will for your life.  Not only will He make your path straigth but He will also justify and glorify you in the presence of your enemies.  He will place people in your life that will give you favor.  The Lord God is for you if you are doing what He has purposed for your life.
 
The most valuable message in the scripture is that you where called.  If you are in the position that the Lord God has predestined you for then He will make sure that you are blessed and highly favored.  He will make sure that no one is against you; so as you go about doing the Lord's business, He is moving anything that will go against your work for Him.  Continue to be a workman for Christ and don't worry about the issues in your life because Christ is in the midst.  He is making sure that all things are working together for you because you love Him and were called according to His purpose. 
 
Find out what the Lord's purpose is for your life.  All of you were given a talent before you were born.  Use your talent to glorify the Lord.  If you have a talent of singing, use it to glorify Him; a talent for compassion, get into a ministry that calls for people to be compassionate to those that are not saved; a talent for writing use that to write about God's grace and mercy; a talent for administrative work, you can use that to work in the office of the church.  If you are good in accounting, use that for the churches billing.  There are so many talents that I cannot name them all, but you know in your heart what the Lord has placed on the inside of you.  Your spirit will not be at peace until you find out what God's purpose and perfect will is for your life.  Once you are lined up with God, it is He that will make all things work together for you.  If you and God are working together on the same thing, which is to lead all to the Body of Christ, He will make sure that you have anything that your desire, and not only that, He will make sure that you have the finances to accomplish His will.  Why wouldn't God give you what you need if you both are working towards the same goal?  Praise God!  Amen!

JUMP START


Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

Happy Holidays, this is the last day that you get to barbeque . . . LOL.  I pray that you all have a safe holiday and that you are blessed and the Lord God covers you with His grace and mercy.

(Isaiah 38:1-5), In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death.  And Isaiah the prophet son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order for thou shalt die, and not live.  Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the Lord.  And said, Remeber now; O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight, And Hezekiah wept sore.  Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David my father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

I remember when I first joined the church in South Holland  I rode the train for thirty minutes and the whole time, I was reading my bible.  I prayed everyday and joined two ministries.  I showed up for every meeting.  I went to Women's Conferences over the weekends.  I was on fire for the Lord.  I was so excited the the day that I got baptized, then I joined the Body of Christ.  I ministered to everyone in my family and on the streets.  Because of my dedication to the Lord, my family noticed a change in my attitude and behavior.  My mother joined the church, although she was brought up in a Catholic.  My sister and her family then joined the church.  The entire roll was taken up by my family members and I was happy that they were saved.  I went to bible study, Sunday school and any other classes that I could attend after work.  I earned my Teachers Certificate.  Before my family would start our Thankgiving dinner, we went to the church, made plates for people and ministered to them.
 
Somewhere down the road, I lost my fire.  The flame slowly became a flicker and I did not notice that devil was on the prowl for me.  I slowly stopped attending Sunday school, saying in my mind that I didn't have time.  I went to Bible Study every once in a while.  I know longer took classes after work, saying that I was too tired.  My flames went out, I didn't even have a flicker.  I needed a recharge.  Just like when your battery dies, you need jumper cables to restart your car.  Restarting your car is only a temporary solution, you need to take it to a mechanic and find out the reason why your car needs a "jump start".  I had lost my connection with the Lord and I needed a "jump start:"
 
Satan will always give you a reason as to why you don't need to attend church services or church events.  He will put anything in your path to stop you from working for the Lord; he wants your flame to go out completely.  He wants you to be detoured and distracted with the things of the world. 
 
Woman of God, my question to you is have you lost your flame?  Do you have a flicker left in you?  If you are experiencing an issue that I experienced, then you need a "jump start."  If you have stopped witnesses and having a heart for the Lord, you need a "jump start".  That "jump start" will only take care of your problem for a moment.  You will need to rekindle your relationship with the Lord.  You have lost your vision, your purpose and have stepped out of the will of God.  You need to return back to church, bible study, Sunday school and other church events that will rekindle your relationship with the Lord.  Hezekiah got sick because he lost his flame. Hezekiah spoke to the Lord, reminding Him of all the things that he used to do.  He repented, prayed and cried out to the Lord God.  Then God told Hezekiah that He heard his prayers, saw his tears and restored him. 
 
My prayer for you is that you will never let your flame go out.  Don't let the enemy cause you to need a "jump start".  But if you are in that position, repent and cry out to the Lord, and allow Him to rekindle your relationship with Him. Just like Hezekiah, He has not forgotten all your labor and works for Him.  He is waiting for you and He desires to restore your faith in Him.  Give God the praise!  Amen!

TOXIC TALK


Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I pray that you have a blessed weekend and holiday.  I speak blessings of peace and joy upon your lives.
 
(Deuteronomy 1:27-31), You grumbled in your tents and said, "The Lord hates us; so he brought us out of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us.  Where can we go?  Our brothers have made us lose heart.  They say, "The people are stronger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the sky.  We even saw the Anakites there."  Then I said to you, "Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them.  The Lord your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, and in the desert.
 
Woman of God, this scripture describes how the people of Egypt were suppose to conquer the land that was promised to them by God.  They sent out ten spies to see how they could take over the land that was filled with milk and honey.  They came back with a bad report, saying that the people were giants and stronger than they were.  They believed their brothers report that they ccould not defeat them.  The Lord God had to remind them of how He delivered them out of Egypt and was with them night and day.  God provided manna and water for them daily.  Now the Lord God is telling them not to be afraid because He will fight for them.
 
Look at that scripture closely; notice that the people said their brothers brought back a bad report of the land that the Lord God had promies them.  They did not say that the Lord God told them that they would be defeated.  The spies went out on their own knowledge, they never thought about the knowledge of God.  There will always be people in your life that will try to deter you from going further in your life.  If God tells you that you are going to be blessed and you are line up with His purpose for your life, following His instructions, then that is exactly what will happen.  The people of Egypt looked at their circumstances and in their minds they were already defeated.
 
Sometimes the way that we are thinking is "toxic talk".  We have a defeated attitude instead of trusting in the Lord God.  Does the Lord God have to remind you of all the times that He was with you during your trials?  Are you listening to the Lord God or your friends?  You have to trust the Lord God and get rid of any "toxic talk" around you.  "Toxic talk" is when you are constantly saying to yourself that you cannot overcome your circumstances.  "Toxic talk" is when your friends and family members are telling you that you cannot achieve something and you believe them instead of believing the Lord God.  "Toxic talk is when you look at your situation and say, you aren't going to make it and how are you going to do what the Lord God says without this or that?  If the Lord God has give you an assignment, He will provide the means for you to accomplish it.  He will make a way out of no way that you can visible see.  He will have people that you don't even know give to you.  He will make your enemies your footstool.  He will put righteous people in your path.  Don't give in to "toxic talk".  Immediately run from it.  Don't entertain "toxic talk" because it can be embedded in your spirit.  Keep "toxic talk" out of your mind  PRAISE GOD!  AMEN!  Toxic Friendshps and conversation can be contagious.
