BACKSEAT DRIVERS

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I speak blessings of peace, joy an prosperity in your life.  My prayer is that as you seek the Lord with all your heart, you will find Him waiting for you with open arms.
 
(Proverbs 3:5-6), Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.
 
I'm sure you have heard the term, "backseat drivers".  It's when the passenger repeatedly tells the driver how to drive.  The passenger yells out when the light changes, how fast to go, what direction the driver should turn, when to slow down and when to speed up.
 
Woman of God, today the Lord wants you to give up your "backseat driving".  If you have total trust in the Lord, then you will let Him direct your paths.  We say that we have faith and that we trust the Lord, but when things are not headed in the direction that we think it should be heading; you want to take the wheel.  Sometimes we even go as far as to give all your problems to the Lord and then before the day is over, we tend to pick them up again and safeguard them in our pocket.  We have so many issues placed in our pockets that we are weighed down to the point of not being able to handle any situation. 

You trust God with your mouth but but do you trust Him with all of your heart?  Don't try to determine whether or not the Lord is going to lead you in the right direction, know that He will.  Your understanding of things cannot possibly be the same as the Lord sees them; therefore you cannot trust what you see or how you may feel.  Acknowledging the Lord in all your ways simply means that you praise, honor and glorify Him in everything that you do.  There are several ways that you can acknowledge the Lord.  Your behavior, characteristics, compassion for others and the way that you act in your everyday life should show believers and non-believers about the God that you serve. If you do those things then you can be assured that He is in charge and leading where He needs for you to be.
 
Some of you are "backseat drivers".  Imagine the Lord in the drivers seat of your car (your life).  Every time He desires to do something in your life you try to steer Him in another direction.  You are not trusting in Him, you are trusting in what you see.  You may see the pothole in the road, but the Lord is not focused on the pothole; His focus is on getting you over, around or through the pothole. So you will attempt to tell the Lord the way His should be going.  "Backseat drivers", cannot see what's in front of them, nor do they have the use of the rear view mirror.  There is also a side mirror that says, caution things may appear closer or caution things may appear farther away.  There are times in our lives where we will have to approach situations with caution.  The devil may be closer than you can see.  But the Lord knows how close he is.  There will be times when the Lord will need to speed you up as well as slow you down.  Although your path may be a little bumpy, right now, know with all your heart that He will not lead you into a pothole.
 
If you allow the Lord Jesus Christ to be your driver, you can sit back and enjoy the limo ride.  Once you have fully trusted in the Lord to lead you down the correct path for your life; you will realize that there is no reason for you to try to solve you problems by yourself.  You will trust in the Lord to make the necessary adjustments, turns and stops in your life.  Trust in the Lord and keep glorifying Him in everything that you do, you will find that without your help, you will arrive at the place where the Lord needs for you to be.  He does not need you to give Him directions or be the "backseat driver".  The Lord wants you to sit back and enjoy the ride.  You will never understand why the Lord does what He does, so you must trust in Him with all of your heart.  GOD BLESS YOU!

WRESTLING

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  My prayer for you today is that your receive this message from the Lord to you. Realizing that we all at some time or other doing struggle.
 
(Romans 7:15-16 and 20 and Eph. 6:12), For I do not understand my own actions, I am baffled, bewildered.  I do not practice or accomplish what I wish, but I do the very thing that I loathe.  (20), Now if I do what I do not desire to do, it is no longer I doing it but the sin which dwells within me, fixed and operating in my soul.  (Eph. 6:12), For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
 
Paul is struggling with a particular sin, though the bible does not state what he was wrestling with we do know that Paul understood that he was not perfect.  Although the Lord nor Paul condones sin, God knows that sin is always lurking over us.  We must come to the realization that our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, now sits at the right hand of God, the Father interceding on our behalf.  The reason why believing and having faith in that, will release us from feeling condemnation for our iniquities (sin). 
 
Paul is stating that he knows what is the right thing to do, but he has not yet mastered putting to death his flesh.  I know what is right and noble but I wonder why I don't do that.  Instead, through my fleshly nature, I tend to do what I do not want to do.  God understood that Paul was wrestling with sin and God also knows what we would struggle with before we were born.  The main and only reason why God, the Father sent His Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth was to bridge the gap between us and God the Father.  He bridged the gap the moment He died on the cross.  Bridging the gap allows us to come boldly before God and make our request known to Him.  Through faith you must know that you know that you know you are forgiven.  If you don't have faith, that's when the devil whispers in your ear that because of your sin, your are not worthy of our Lord's blessings, grace and mercy.
 
You must understand what the scriptures mean when it says that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against the rulers of this world, the ruler of darkness.  Since we know that our Lord, is the light (a beacon) for us, then the ruler of this world and darkness is Satan.  We cannot fight flesh with flesh, but we have to fight this spiritual battle with the Spirit of the Lord, which dwell on the inside of each of us, the moment that we accepted our Lord and invited Him to dwell with us.  Being born again simply means that we were born in sin by our mother, which is our first birth.  Once we are baptized that is our second birth, which then also bridges the gap that was once unavailable to us.
 
The Lord's message to you today is to remind you that your sins are covered and to remind you of why He died on the cross and shed His blood.  It is no secret to Him as to what you will wrestle against from the moment that you were born.  If the Lord was not going to accept your prayers for forgiveness, you would not be here today, because our Lord has authority over life and death.  Don't be so hard on yourself when you don't overcome your flesh everyday.  Each day that our Lord allows you to wake up is another opportunity for you to get it right.  To overcome and die to your flesh.  Know that you are not fighting this fight alone and that our Lord, Jesus Christ is interceding on your behalf.  PRAISE GOD!

FOLLOW ME!

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I speak blessings of the fullness of our Lord Jesus Christ over your life and that as you seek after Him, you will be comforted and encouraged daily.

Well, as promised, the Holy Spirit has given me the message for us today.  We hear a lot of people say that the bible is the same today and forevermore.  Today the Spirit of the Lord will show you just want He means.  You situation may change, but the Lord can give you the same scripture but will bring it to light in a different way, to give you hope and encouragement for todays problem.

(Matthew 4:18-22), As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He noticed two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, throwing a dragnet into the sea, for they were fishermen.  And He said to them, Come after Me, follow Me and I will make you fishers of men!  At once they left their nets and became His disciples. And going on further from their He noticed two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets and putting them right; and He called them.  At once they left the boat and their father and joined Jesus as disciples.

This may sting a little bit. OUCH!  I am so tired of women in the church knocking each other down to get a title in the church.  You act one way at home and when you get to church, it's "Bless you sister, kiss, kiss".  Then you get upset because the Pastor has given someone a position in the church that you thought you should have gotten.  Instead of you offering your friendship and love to your sister, you gossip and backbite.  Don't you know that the Lord knows you and your motives for everything that you do.  You have been sitting on the right side of the Pastor's wife but your motives are not to help her, but to be seen.  Waiting like a sly fox to pounce on her and anyone else that gets in the way of your motive.  You have a nasty attitude when you don't get the right seat in church.  You have a nasty attitude if someone ask you to do something that you think that you are too good to be doing.  Now you are nasty towards your sister that just got a leadership position because you have been there longer.  Again, if your Pastor is a true man of God, he has enough discernment to know that you aren't ready to lead anyone anywhere.
 
The first four disciples that Jesus told to follow Him were, Peter, Andrew, James and John.  And if you notice from the scriptures that Jesus did not ask them.  He knew who they were and what He would eventually use them for.  Also take note that Jesus did not ask them, He simply told them, follow me.  They did say, "Who are you?"  They did not ask how much they would be paid, where He was going, why should they follow Him.  Whose going to take care of their fishing duties.  What would be their gain.  They stopped taking care of their own business to follow after Jesus.
 
Too many times the Lord calls us to follow Him and we have an excuse as to why we can't do it today.  We have that (what's in it for me) attitude.  How much of our time is going to be taken up.   Your sister in the church, has been called to leadership because she answered Jesus' call.  The difference between you and her is that she said, "Yes, Lord here I am".  The only motive that she has is to be used as a vessel that the Lord can use to pour out for His people.  She doesn't want to take the First Lady's place in the church.  She doesn't thing that she is too good to clean up after service.  Service is her only motive.
 
It's time for us to get serious about serving our Lord, Jesus Christ.  Just as Peter, Andrew, James and John immediately followed after Jesus, we need to do the same thing.  Neither of them asked what position they were going to have.  They didn't even ask how much does it pay or what they would get out of serving Him.  Jesus knew them before they were born and He knew they would answer the call, FOLLOW ME!  Jesus knows who will answer His call and FOLLOW HIM and who only will serve if they are going to get something out of it.  It's time for you to answer the Lord's call to you, FOLLOW HIM your reward is in heaven and does not lie with man.  AMEN!

COME FORTH

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I pray that you are doing well this morning.  Have a blessed and prosperous day.  I speak blessings of love, peace and joy and may you walk in our Lord Jesus Christ grace as you seek after Him.

(John 11:4 and John 11:38-44), When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.  (39-44), Jesus said, Take away the stone.  Martha, the sister of him that was dead, said to him, Lord, by this time he stinks: for he has been dead four days.  Jesus said to her, Said I not unto thee, that if you will believe, you thou shall see the glory of God?  Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid.  And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.  And I knew that thou hear me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.  And when he had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.  And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin.  Jesus said unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

As I was in my quiet time with the Lord, He gave me the title, "Come Forth".  Then I was lead to read the above scriptures.  You see, I never take the Word of God out of content but the Holy Spirit gives me the message in a different light so that He will be glorified.  I love the Word of God because you can read the same scriptures and get a different interpretation to help you in your current situation.

Notice in verse 4, that Jesus tells Martha and her sister that Lazarus' sickness was not unto death.  Jesus could have healed Lazarus but His reason for not doing so was that the Father be glorified, and that they would believe that the Father sent Him. 
 
This is what the Holy Spirit told me to write.  "Only I have the ability to raise the dead.  My people are spiritually dead.  And if they call upon me, I will raise what has been dead in them.  I will blow upon them and awaken what has laid dormant for so long.  I will take away their stony hearts and they shall rise.  I and I alone will loose my people as they call upon me. I will hear them and accept their prayers.  My people are in need of a fresh anointing.  A new birth in their spirit.  I will awaken their spiritual gifts and they will "come forth", so that I be glorified.  They will run and not grow weary.  They will mount up like eagles and sore away from what has had them bound.  They will walk in my purpose, so that I be glorified.  "Come Forth", and receive that which I have for you.  And the Spirit of the Lord says, loose them and let them go"!
 
Some of us are still living with a spirit of defeat, even after baptism in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  We are still walking in bondage, and have not yet taken off our grave clothes.  We were once dead but, Jesus' died, rose again and was ascended into heaven, we were free. No longer bound hand and foot by the devil.  The Lord has spoken to the enemy to loose us and let us go! The only purpose is for us to glorify the Lord.  We cannot glorify the Lord if we are still walking with an attitude of defeat.  The Lord's desire for us is to "Come Forth", take off your grave clothes, pray, and He will hear you.  The only stipulation is that you have to call upon Him.  "COME FORTH", COME FORTH, COME FORTH!
 
REMINDER:  This is the last day to sign up for the "Women's Conference".  The conference is FREE.  Believe me, the Lord would not be sending me thousands of miles away from home if He didn't have a blessing for all of us.  Be prepared for a mighty move of God, It's time for you to "COME FORTH".

CHARGE OVER THEE

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I pray that you are blessed and highly favored of our Lord Jesus Christ, as you follow after Him.
 
(Psalms 91:11-12), For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion.  In the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon a rock. For He shall give His angels charge over thee in all thy ways.  They shall bare thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
 
With all my heart I believe that God was watching over me and letting me know that the situation could have been worst.  I never went back to that house and I knew that it was time for me to change my life around and that next time I would not be so lucky.  Moral of the story: We fall down, but we get up, for a saint is just a sinner who fell down, but got up.  Keep getting back up,
 
(My Testimony), SUPERNATURAL EVENT.  I had just joined the Prayer Ministry in my church.  I was driving to work that day with my baby in the backseat to drop him off at the babysitter.  It was very cold and the streets where icy and sleek.  I noticed that just up ahead of me appeared to be a puddle of water.  As I began to get closer, I noticed that what I thought was water was a sheet of ice and it was too late for me to slow down.  My car began to swerve, leading me straight into a ditch and into a light pole.  The pole was so close that I just knew I was going to hit it.  I took my hands off the steering wheel, closed my eyes and prepared for impact. "JESUS".  In a split second my car turned around and was put back on the road.  Once the car stopped spinning, I opened my eyes, looked around and noticed that I was in the same position that I was in before my car began to rear off the road.  There were usually a lot of trucks that drive on that particular road.  But there was not other car or truck on the road. and my baby was still peacefully sleeping.
 
I began to laugh uncontrollably at the devil and shouted, "You tried to kill me".  I knew without a shadow of doubt that I should have hit that pole because it was right in front of me as I closed my eyes and prepared myself for impact.  Screams of Hallelujah all the way to the babysitters.  Once I got to the babysitters, the shock of what had just happened began to sink in.  My relationship with God was even stronger from that point on.  For the Lord gave His angels charge over me, and they bared me up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.  Because I delight myself in the Lord, He set my car back on the road.  I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, "I have a ministry for just for you and lots of work for you".  So here I am.
 
The moral of this testimony is that no matter what you have done or been through if you pray for the Lord's forgiveness; He will set you back in the same place you were before you began to backslide. Let go and let God, take your hands off the steering wheel of your life and trust the Lord to steer you in the way that you should go.  God will put you on a straight and narrow path.  He has plans for you and your life is very valuable to Him, for you were bought with a high price (the Blood of Jesus).  Don't give up on the Lord, because He will never give up on you.  AMEN, PRAISE GOD!

WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT!

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I pray that all of you mother's have had a wonderful Mother's Day.  And for those of you that have lost your mother, I speak blessings of peace unto you.  Some of you don't have a mother/daughter relationship, my prayer for you is that you and your mother's bond be strengthen.  I love you.
 
Who would have thought that through weeks, months and years that our Lord Jesus Christ would shine His light upon you.  That through all the tears that you have cried, who would've thought that the Lord would sit you high upon a hill to be the beacon light for someone else.  Who would've thought that after drug rehab, the Lord would give unto you all that you lost during that test of trials.  And after losing battle after battle, who would've thought you will be victorious through Jesus Christ. 
 
Who would've thought that after everyone else counted you down for the count, it was the Lord Jesus that stood you up on your feet and counted you righteous.  Who would've thought that after years of physical, emotional and mental abuse, that the Lord Jesus empowered you with wisdom and the strength to endure heartaches.  Who would've thought that even after losing your baby, that the Lord would bless you with more than enough.  Who would've thought that after your finances were all depleted out, that the Lord Jesus would supply all your needs.  Who would've thought that after all the devil had put you through, that the Lord Jesus would  raise you up and give you the wings of an eagle to soar above all.  Who would've thought that after carrying those heavy burdens, that the Lord Jesus would give you the power to run and not grow weary.
 
Who would've thought that a Lamb would shed His blood for you.  Who would've thought that a Lamb would cover you.  Who would've thought that a Lamb would set you free.  Hallelujah to the Lamb of God.  Hallelujah Precious Lamb.  GLORY TO THE LAMB OF GOD!
 
Thank you and may God bless you!  As I am preparing for the final plans for the Women's Conference and making sure that I have a final count of those of you that are attending, this will be the last week to register for the Women's Conference.  This event is FREE!  Come on out for fellowship, food and expect a mighty move of God.  The Baymont Hotel, Cal-City, 2P-5P (across from Nicky's Gyros, Sibley).  Sign in under events and get ready for your spiritual breakthrough, C U soon!

SELF-PITY

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I speak the blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ upon you on today and may you be highly favored as you follow after Him.
 
As I was on my daily walk this morning, the Holy Spirit gave me the message for today.  I pray that it will be a blessing to you as it was for me.  The awesome thing about having a relationship with the Lord is that you are continually growing and get wisdom from Him.
 
I was talking to the Lord about how disappointed I was with myself for not doing the best that I could for deliverance.  Everyday during my daily walk, I ask for the Lord's forgiveness and tell Him that I will promise to try harder today.  Then I heard the Spirit of the Lord say to me, "How do you feel, right now, at this very moment".  My reply was, "I feel like a failure, like I let you down and like I have disappointed you".  The Lord's reply to me was, "Self-pity". As I thought about it, I then said, "Self-pity, that word sounds so harsh.  No one wants to feel self-pity, Lord".  The Lord's reply to me was, "Self-pity is actually the way you are feeling when you feel like a failure.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  You see the devil wants you to feel that way whenever you think that you have not lived up to My expectations.  Every time that you open that door to self-pity, you are still living in the past which will keep you from moving into the present.
 
When you come to Me in a spirit of humility pray for My forgiveness, I forgive and forget.  I will never hold you accountable for your shortcomings.  I will never bring it up again".  The Lord continued on to say to me, "My people parish for lack of knowledge.  I am not saying that you have no knowledge of Me, am saying is that My children do not fully understand the depths of My forgiveness, lovingkindness, compassion, mercy and grace that I alone give to them.  "I am not bringing your past before you.  The problem is that you are on your knees with a humble heart and have are genuinally repented, you get up off your knees and either moments later or hours later the devil creeps his way into your mind and you began to let that demonic spirit of self-pity come upon you".  The biggest problem that My people have is that they don't really accept My forgiveness.  Not accepting My forgiveness is why the devil constantly begins his attack on My peoples mind".
 
"Remember my daughter, you are blessed and highly favored by Me".  When the devil comes to bring your past back up, you need to remind him of the fact that he has been defeated.  That you are a child of the Most High God.  I know you and I knew you before you were born.  Don't you think that if I knew you before you were born that I foreknew every shortcoming you would have.  And I also know how much you would try with all you heart to please Me.  Remember all have fallen short, and all will continue to fall short.  I send My only begotten Son to die on that old piece of wood, that cross, so that you would not have to feel like you have let me down.  Self-pity is a word that man put in the dictionary, not me.  My desire is that you never know that word, then you would be able to accept My forgiveness".  Thus, saith the Almighty God!
 
Thank you Holy Spirit for using me as a vessel to deliver Your words to Your people on today.  I speak Your peace and joy upon them and that they are blessed by Your word and will understand Your forgiveness.  By the power of the Holy Spirit within me, I come against the spirit of self-pity on the people of God and I loose the Spirit of Adoption upon them, in Jesus Mighty name.  Amen!
 
There are only 2 weeks left until the "Women's Conference".  This is a FREE event and I am   travelling from Georgia back to my hometown Chi-town!  I am so excited about what the Lord has in store for all of us.  God would not be sending me thousands of miles away and not have a blessing for you.  Don't let the enemy keep you bound and away from this event.

GRACE AND MERCY

Good morning, without a doubt, I pray for you daily.  My prayer for you today is that you are blessed and that you understand the high price that was paid for your soul and because of Christ Jesus we can come boldly to the throne of grace.  God bless you, woman of God!
 
(Micah 7:9), "I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against Him, until He pleas my cause, and execute judgment for me: He will bring me forth to the light and I shall behold His righteousness.
 
Why is God's grace and mercy so important?  Why should you pray daily for His grace and mercy?  Well, I'm glad you asked.  Years ago, before I became a Prayer Warrior, I'd always hear the ministers praying for God's grace and mercy .  I did not have the full understanding of God's grace and mercy, so I would use those words to "fill in the blanks", whenever I was at a loss for words.  I just repeated what I always heard.  The more I studied the Word of God, I learned the reason why God's grace and mercy was so important for me to have in my Christian walk.
 
Grace gives us what we do not deserve.  For instance, we do not deserve the love of the Almighty God to have sent His Son to die for us.  All of us are sinners.  It's in our nature, since the sins of Adam and Eve.  God knows that, but He loves us unconditionally.  Apostle Paul talks about the thorn in his side that God would not remove, God reply was, "My grace is sufficient for you". God's grace allows us to freely walk in His provisions.
 
Mercy:  No matter what title you hold in your church (pastor, deacon, minister, elder or prophet) or no matter how often you pray and worship God, you still have to pay for your sins.  This is a fact.  There are consequences for your actions.  The awesome thing is that Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, sits at the right had of God the Father interceding on your behalf.  Even the most elect before God will bear His wrath.  This does not mean that God will not continue to use you for His glory.  That's His GRACE given to you.  You should pray for God to have mercy upon you when you are going through whatever consequences that will come from being disobedient to the Lord.
 
There was a time in my life where I had not been a good steward over my finances.  I had a gambling problem, living in Las Vegas.  It was difficult for me to stay on track when it came to paying my bills.  I knew better but the stronghold that was on me at that time was stronger than I could handle.  I prayed for the Lord to have mercy on me because I knew there was a price I had to pay.  I lost my home, which I really loved.
 
My punishment for disobedience was that I had to live in a hotel for six months.  God provided my with the necessities that we needed, but I no longer had the comfort of my four bedroom, 2 bathroom home.  God had mercy on me; he made sure I had a roof over my head and food on the table.
 
Sometimes we put ourselves in stupid situations and make bad choices for our lives.  That's why we need God to have mercy on us, while we are going through the consequences that we may face when not living righteous before God.  Apostle Paul put it this way, "When I want to do what is right, evil is always present.  That thing that I know to do, I do not, but the things that I don't want to do, I do.  Apostle Paul understood that we will always be in a constant battle with our flesh.  So when you think that you have messed up so badly, remember God's grace and mercy.  PRAISE THE LORD!

THE SIGNS

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I speak life unto today.  May you walk in peace and love and receive our Lord Jesus Christ compassionate love for you.  God bless you!
 
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding, but in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.
 
Sometimes we don't pay attention to the signs that the Lord puts right in front of us.  We see them with carnal eyes, not spiritual eyes.  We ignore the signs that the Lord gives us for the love of a man or a toxic friendship.  Why do we ignore these signs?  Because we are leaning on our own understanding of things, not the Lord's understanding.  We are not acknowledging the Lord, if it were so, we would heed when He is showing you signs that could ultimately better your life.
 
Okay, I need for you to put on your spiritual caps to receive today's message.  Imagine this, take a look at all the signs on the highways and streets.  Those are the same types of signs that the Lord gives to us, the same signs that lead us in the wrong direction. 
 
STOP!  When you see a STOP sign, you STOP, look both ways then proceed in the same direction.  We you hear the Lord say STOP, He's simply wants you to STOP, look at your situation and trust Him to direct your path.  The Lord's desire is that you overcome  pain, anxiety, deliverance or a toxic relationship that you are in.  STOP, look both ways before you get hit by a truck.
 
ONE WAY!  There is only ONE WAY to SALVATION!  ONE WAY to God and that is through His Son, Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God.  You cannot trust God if you have never accepted His Son as the Lord over your life, therefore you cannot trust Him with all your heart.  The Lord cannot direct your paths because you have not allowed Him to enter in your life.
 
DETOUR!  Sometimes the Lord wants us to take a DETOUR because we are going in the wrong direction.  The Lord will show you that you are with the wrong man when you are being stalked, threatened, phone checking, email checking or constant calling.  Also, you may be dealing with something that you need deliverance from (smoking, drinking, drugs, whoremonger, shacking, etc.). These are definitely signs that we are going the wrong way.
 
YELLOW LIGHT!  Proceed with caution.  That could mean that you have to slow down, pray, listen to the Lord's direction to find out is you are going in the right direction. The Lord will let you know whether or not you should proceed with (relationship, marriage, job, children, etc.).
 
GREEN LIGHT! GO! You are moving in the right direction.  If you stay prayerful, praising, worshipping and reading the WORD OF GOD!  You finally got it, and after you tried it your way you are now allowing the Lord to direct your paths. You will no doubt be blessed in every area of you life.  You are not leaning on your own understanding, but you are trusting the Lord with all your heart.  No matter what you may be going through, you are trusting the Lord with all your understanding.
 
U-TURN!  The Lord is telling you to turn around, go back the way you came.  When I strayed away from the Lord, He reminded me of how I used to be when I prayed on a constant basis.  I had started doing drugs and drinking a lot, I seriously needed to make a U-TURN.
 
RAILROAD CROSSING!  If you don't stop and look both ways without crossing the tracks you will be hit by a train.  Have you ever seen an accident where the person was in their car and got hit by a train?  The force that the car was hit with killed them.  If you don't trust in the Lord with all your understanding, you will be hit by Satan, so hard and he will cause irreparable damage to your mind, will, emotions, family and anything else that you allow him to do.  You didn't not consult with the Lord before you cross those dangerous tracks that no doubt lead you into a season of turmoil.
 
GIVE THE LORD PRAISE FOR DIRECTING YOUR PATH!

MERCIFUL EYES


Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I speak the blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ upon you as you follow after Him.  Praise the Lord everyday because of His grace and mercy upon you.
(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 towards 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 clean.  You have been cleansed 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 in your past (fornication, adultery, stealing, lying, etc.).  Once you ask for the Lord’s forgiveness, you have been forgiven.

Mighty woman of God, when the Lord God looks at you, He looks at you through His merciful eyes.  His merciful eyes don’t not see what you used to be, He sees what you can become.  His merciful eyes see what you have the potential to become.  God looks at you through merciful eyes whenever you make a mistake and ask pray for forgiveness.  God's merciful eyes will lead you besides the still waters and restore your soul.  God's merciful eyes will hid you under the wings of His angels in times of trouble.  God's merciful eyes see you as a beautiful woman, not the woman that was picked out to be picked on and talked about.  You were told that you were not good enough; but through God’s merciful eyes you are beautiful.  Beautiful, that’s how God sees you.

God's merciful eyes don’t see the woman that I used to be. His merciful eyes don’t see the woman that was strung out on drugs. His merciful eyes don’t see the woman that went to places that I should not have been. God's merciful eyes saw what I could become.  I am forever grateful for God's merciful eyes and His lovingkindness that blotted out all my transgressions and restored my soul. Give God the praise for His merciful eyes. Amen!

RUNNING A LITTLE LATE

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I thank and praise God for each of you daily.  I continue to pray for you and I do call out all 321 names.  I pray that you will receive todays message in your heart.
 
(Psalms 33:1, 34:1, 48:1), Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. (34:1), I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. (48:1), Great is the Lord, and most worth of praise, in the city of our God, His holy mountain.
 
I love to hear the Word of God that my Pastor Fritz delivers on Sundays.  But the most important part of Sunday services is the praise and worship.  If I miss my praise and worship time, I feel empty.  I feel like I have missed the move of God.  Don't get me wrong, the move of the Holy Spirit always rest in the sanctuary.  Praising and worshipping the Lord for the week is very important to me.  In fact, I spend at least 2 hours in praise and worship at home every morning.  I can even feel the Spirit of the Lord resting upon me every morning.  It's a beautiful feeling.
 
A lot of people run late for church service every Sunday.  You are saying to yourself well, I'll just miss praise and worship.  (I will bless the Lord at all times, His praises will continually be in my mouth), what happened to that?  Although the Holy Spirit is in the service, you will have missed the move of God.
 
You miss the move of the Holy Spirit and you wonder why you left the church the same way you came in.  You leave the service feeling empty because you were not praising and worshipping God on one accord with the ones that enjoy coming to service to praise and worship the Lord.  When you get home, your praying, "Lord, help me Jesus!  Where are you Lord?  Lord Jesus can you hear me?"

Then you have those people that do show up in time for praise and worship and they stand there looking like they just ate a lemon.  There excuse is, "I'm just not feeling it right now. I don't like that song."  So when they wonder why the Lord is not answering their prayers maybe He's saying, "I'm just not feeling it right now."  Do you realize how blessed we are to have the freedom to openly praise and worship the Lord?   There are some countries that are forbidden to even read the bible.  They set up secret places to met to give the Lord what is due to Him (praise and worship).  I bet if those people were free to openly praise the Lord they would not just say, "We only missed praise and worship".  They would gladly trade places with you.
 
You don't have the full understanding of the blessings that you receive when you praise and worship the Lord.  The bible says, "I will keep you in perfect peace who mind is stayed on Me".  How do you keep your mind stayed on the Lord?  You praise Him even at all times, even through your trials and tribulations.  Praise and worship ushers in the present of the Lord.  During you time of praise and worship is when the Spirit of the Lord speaks to you.
 
If you think that running a little late is no big deal, try going to service in time for praise and worship and watch what the Lord will do for you.  You will have your eyes and ears open to receive the Word of God.  PRAISE GOD!  AMEN!

ONIONS

Good morning, Mighty woman of God!  I speak blessings upon blessings into your life on today.  I pray that all things will be added unto you as you seek after our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
(2 Peter 5:10-11), And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.  To Him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
 
I was peeling an onion the other day and the more I peeled, the more my eyes watered and my nose also began to itch.  I ran water over the onion as I peeled back a new layer, but my eyes still watered a little bit.
 
Woman of God, think of your life as an onion (your spirit man).  There is a brown layer of skin that covers the white part of the onion.  This outer layer keeps you safe from getting the inner part bruised or damaged.  You keep this brown layer over the rest of your heart, or body to protect it.
 
Once you have decided to give your life to Christ, God allows you to keep your cover until you are ready to be peeled.  This is a process that must take place for your spiritual growth and to get ready for God to use you for His glory.  You have been in church for a while now, studying and praying regularly and now God says, "it's time".  Another thing that I want you to notice about onions, is that when you go to pick them out of the grocery store you will notice that quite a lot of people handled those onions.  They pick them up, look at them and drop them back into the pile.  As women, some of us have been picked up and handled wrong by someone in our life.  Then dropped down as if we weren't worth even buying. 
 
As God peels off your cover (the part that has not been handled with care) you began to cry.  There might come a point in time when all you will do is cry and you don't even know why.  It's because God is trying to remove all of the past hurts and bruises you have been through before you accepted Him into your life.   The more you pray, another layer comes off, then other, then other.  The Lord might give you a short break, but time is of the essence, because He has work for you to do and gifts He wants to give to you.  You will need all your strength and all your might to go through the next level of peeling because now the enemy realizes that you are serious about the Kingdom of Heaven.  You are a prayer intercessor and you will be crying for people you don't even know, because in the spirit realm you are interceding on their behalf.
 
Now God is done peeling and it's time for you to be cut.  I know this doesn't sound good but as you peel an onion, by the time you began to cut it into desired pieces, you are no longer crying.  You have gotten to the strongest part of that onion and it is not as sensitive, it is very hard.  God is peeling and cutting everything that He cannot use for your work in the ministry.  During this time of peeling and cutting God is building your character.  You will develop endurance, patience and love.  Not only does God desire for you to run this race but you need to finish the course.  PRAISE GOD!
 
Heavenly Father, I thank and praise you for covering my spirit until I am ready for service in Your Kingdom.  Lord, help me to endure the hardships so that I will be able to follow your purpose and plans for my life.  Prepare me, dear Lord to fulfill the work that You have set for me in Your ministry.  Lord, I thank You that when you are done peeling me, I will be productive in a ministry, in Jesus name, Amen.
