THE TWINS - GRACE AND MERCY

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I pray that you have the peace of God in your heart on today and that you will honor Him in everything that you do or even with your heart.
 
Vines Complete Expository Dictionary: Grace - In modern Hebrew seems to stress the stronger meaning of "to pardon or to show mercy."  The word occurs around 80 times in Hebrew Old Testament.
 
Mercy - "to have compassion, be merciful, pity.
 
Matthew: 11:28-30), Then Jesus said, "Come unto me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light."
 
Today I get to talk about me and you.  And prayerfully, the Spirit of the Lord will guide you.  While in my prayer time I was listening to a song, that basically says, "God's mercy kept me, so I wouldn't let go, I am here today because His mercy kept me so I wouldn't let go."  I don't know if you know that song but as I played it, I begin to look back over my life.  With everything within me, I have to thank God for His mercy.
 
Now, I am not suicidal at all, but going through physical, mental and drug abuse, I almost let go.  I almost let go of God's hand.  There were times in my life that I did consider just leaving this earth but as I looked at my children, I knew that I couldn't just leave.  I have thought that I was so horrible and my life was going far from God, so why am I here?  The more I tried to make my life work, the more Satan tried to stop me.  My late 20's and early 30's was very heavy for me.  I was very weary and tired.  I didn't read one of my bibles so I didn't know or understood anything about God's mercy and His grace.  I did not know that I should begin praying that the Lord will give me rest.  I didn't know that for the spirit of heaviness, start praising the Lord.
 
Woman of God, there will be some circumstances that you might face that will make you say, "Why me Lord".  Think about the Lord's grace that He has given to you.  Think about how merciful the Lord is to you.  I know that there has been times when you can see the Lord working your situation out for your good.  But know that just because you can't see that your situation will work out in your favor, know that the Lord is still with you.  The Lord does not want you to live a life of despair and hopelessness.  The Lord wants you to get up and take a stand that you will not let any event in your life cause you to be uncertain that He is with you.
 
My children are and blessing to me, because without them, I would have kept walking in despair.  Even though you may face times that causes you to flood your face with tears, it's okay, just get back up.  When you feel like you cannot make it any further and you feel like your life is hopeless, remember the twins:  God's GRACE and MERCY!
 
Heavenly Father, I pray that your word will go forth and comfort those that may be dealing with a crisis.  Touch them Father and restore them back to You.  I pray that those that are facing circumstances that they feel like they can't make it any further, touch their heart Lord and remind them that you are Merciful and you won't put more of them than they can handle.  May you bless those that think they cannot handle anymore speak to their heart Lord.  I pray that they praise you no matter what they are facing, in Jesus name Amen.

O TASTE AND SEE . . . .

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I pray that you are blessed and highly favored of the Lord, Jesus Christ!

(Psalms 34:8, 17, 18), Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him, (17) The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.  (18) The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

I want you all to know that I truly have love for each of you in my heart.  It is not because I want or need something from you and did not start this ministry because I want to gain favor from anyone.  This ministry is for you because God told me to start a women's ministry for HIM and YOU!  There has been times that I wanted to quit but I think about even the few that may be blessed by the Lord's messages.

God has given me today's message because it is weighing heavy on my heart.  When things weigh heavy on my heart, it is because I have been where you are or I just plain on love you and want what God wants for you and that is to be free from anything that the devil is trying to kill your spirit with.

Bitterness:  When you taste something that is bitter, you can recognize the taste right away.  Usually you will make an ugly frown or just keep wetting your tongue to quickly get that bitter taste out of your mouth.  If someone ask you how does something taste, and you say, "bitter", that usually means that whatever it is does not taste good, unless you just like bitter things.  People don't usually go out and buy something that taste bitter because they like the taste of bitter food.  So, the term "bitter", is never really a good term when describing something.  A bitter taste is never something that will make you smile, even if you like the taste of bitterness, your initial reaction will not be a smile.

Now let's go to bitterness when it comes to things or issues of our spirit.  I have spoken to someone that is about 55 years old and whenever she spoke to me, she spoke about an incident that happened to her as a child that she had to endure.  Even though I have spoken with her about three times, I still do not know her.  The first time we spoke, it was more or less an introduction and she spoke about the incident.  The second and third time, the same thing.  I realized that I had to open up my spiritual ears because I noticed that she was bitter about the situation.  Then I began to pray and ask God, to tell me what to do to help her.  She is a strong woman of God so I don't know what to do but because my spiritual antennas where up, my spirit began to cry out for her.  Each time that I had spoken with her, she made it a point to tell me that she had forgiven those men that treated her so badly.

The first thing that I want you to know is that having a spirit of bitterness does not mean that you are a bad person.  We are human and sometimes the issues of our childhood taste so bad that we don't have enough love to swallow it, we don't know how.  We are Godly women, but that one thing has become a thorn in our side.  What the devil does with that thorn is keep reminding us of that situation over and over again.  And if the devil can keep us talking about it over and over again, we then become very bitter.  Each time that we taste that unforgiven pill we get a bitter taste in our mouth and frown.  When that thought or name passes through our heart or mouth, we will ultimately frown then we might try to smile a little bit.  We may even go to classes and seminars to break free from that bitterness but to no avail, we are still bitter.  Because we love Christ so much and we have other aspects of our lives down-packed, we don't want to admit that we are still bitter about being mistreated, beat up, raped and abused.

Just to let you know that although this ministry has been birthed by God, through me.  Let me just say that again, BY GOD, through me, I still have some growing and learning to do and after several years, I just swallow my bitter pill, even though I thought that I had already done that.  I went to a women's breakfast, and I had no idea what I was really getting in to.  I thought that we were going to talk about a book on "Forgiveness", but for some reason the Holy Spirit set us all up.  It was not until about 5 months ago that I realized that although, I may have said that I forgave someone, I had not, because every time that persons name would hit the atmosphere, my spirit cringed.  No one can see your spirit cringe but God.  That is why I am giving this message today.  God knows that your spirit still cringes, and He wants you to taste and see that He is good.  He wants to remind you that He hears your unspoken cries and He knows that you are brokenhearted and He wants you free.  The only way that we can truly be free, is to admit our true feelings.  Not the feelings that we show on the outside, the ones that are hidden in our heart.  My prayer is that you are not 55 years old and still bitter.  I love you and I hope this is a blessed message for those of you that need to be free.

Heavenly Father, I thank and praise you for your grace and mercy towards me.  Father, I thank you for your word that I have hidden in my heart and that you are a loving Father towards me.  Lord Jesus, I cannot do this one on my own, I am asking that your Spirit comfort me and get me through the bitterness that I am still feeling towards ____________, Holy Spirit, I am asking you to do what I cannot do for myself.  I have tried Lord Jesus and I know that you love me unconditionally and your desire is for me to be free from the spirit of bitterness.  I love you Lord with all of my heart and I want what is best for me and I know that you want what is best for me, in Jesus name, Amen.

ROCKS AND SAND

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I pray that you are blessed and highly favored of our Lord, Jesus Christ!  I have an excuse for being absent. LOL!  I just finished my second book, titled, "Mighty Woman of God".  It is definitely a blessing and I am so excited about it.  If you have been blessed by the daily blogs, you will be blessed by this book.
 
(Matthew 7:24-27) Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man.  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

In this parable, Jesus is not speaking about an actual building; he is speaking about your physical body.  Christ is saying if you build yourself up in Him, when the winds blow and the floods seems to overtake you; you will be able to stand.  If you place a handful of sand on top of a rock, when the wind and floods hit that rock, the sand will blow away; but the rock will still be intact without any signs of destruction.  Jesus Christ desires for you to be built up in Him just like that rock so that you are able to stay intact during the storms in your life.

Woman of God, be determined to have a house that is built upon a rock and not sand.  If you are the type of person that does not allow yourself time to read the Word of God or have daily prayer; most likely you are sand.  The enemy knows that you are sand and therefore, it is easy to disrupt your life.  As soon as an unforeseen incident happens, just like sand upon a rock you are blown away.  You end up making rash decisions that will not get you out of your storm.  Your foundation is not strong enough because you have a house built on sand.  If you don’t have enough of the Spirit of the Lord in your physical body, you are considered sand to the enemy.

If you are the type of person that takes the time to study the Word of God and pray regularly, you have developed a rock mentality.  When the enemy comes to disrupt your life, you are not easily blown away by his tactics or lies.  You know the blessings and promises that God has for you and you will have a strong determination to live your spiritual journey in the will of God.  When you are faced with adversities and tragedies you will know without a doubt, that God has already handled it for you.  Jesus did not say to Peter, "Upon this sand, I will build my house".  Jesus' words to Peter were, "Upon this rock, I will build my house".

In order to be productive during your spiritual journey called life; you will have to have a solid rock-like mentality and foundation.   The foundation has to be the very essence of your being, what you are made of on the inside.  Time is running short for the devil and his demonic spirits so you cannot afford to be blown all over the place.   You have to take a firm position concerning your spirituality and your relationship with Jesus Christ.  Your children are depending on you to give them guidance and wisdom to get them through their spiritual journey.  They will need a rock foundation and mentality.  Sand will only have them blown out into a valley of nowhere.  Pray for your children, daily.  Pray with them and speak blessing upon their lives.  They may be too young to understand what you are praying about but in the times to come, when they are older, they will understand.  You will develop a type of faith that the Lord will see and He will not have forgotten the prayers that you prayed over your children.  PRAISE GOD!

DROP YOUR ANCHOR

Good morning, Mighty woman of God!  I pray that you all feel blessed and highly favored of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  The first step is feeling blessed now you have to walk in it.
 
I always try to be as open and honest with you through these blogs and even a post on Facebook.  So with that being said, I want to tell you what the Lord said to me the other day.  I usually tell people that I always have something to say when the Lord tells me to do something.  I have sort of made a joke about it, because I say, "Well, the Lord knows that I will do whatever He asks of me, after I am through complaining and asking Him to send someone else. 
 
Anyway, this is what the Lord said to me, "Why are you so disobedient?  You are doing exactly what you tell your son not to do to you.  When you tell him to do something, he has something negative to say to you, although he will do it  because you are his parent.  What do you think about you always saying something negative first to when I command you to do something?  You do not want your son to be disobedient, you call it talking back, well, I call it talking back.  You have done this since you have be called to be a blessing to other women.  Although you will respond with Yes, you talk back to me.  How do you think that I feel?  What makes you think that you have the right to say anything but Yes, Lord to me?  I will know longer allow you to talk back to me.  It is time for you to grow up you no longer have the luxury of talking back before you do what I say to do. You would move a little faster if you don't waste time, wondering why.  I love you, but you have to move when I say move.  It's time.
 
The reason why I am telling you about that conversation is because a lot of times people tend to think that ministers have some sort of secret powers.  You forget that we are only people that said yes to the calling on our lives.  I am a prophet of the Lord, but I too still make mistakes and every now and then the Lord will give me an OUCH message.
 
(Matthew 14:25-32), About three o'clock in the morning, Jesus came to them, walking on the water.  When the disciples saw him, they screamed in terror, thinking he was a ghost.  But Jesus spoke to them at once.  "It's all right," he said. "I am here!  Don't be afraid".  Then Peter called to him, "Lord, if it's really you, tell me to come to you by walking on water.  All right, come," Jesus said.  So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.  But when he looked around at the high waves, he was terrified and began to sink.  "Save me, Lord", he shouted.  Instantly Jesus reached out, "You don't have much faith," Jesus said.  "Why did you doubt me?"  And when they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped.
 
Today's message is quite different.  As I began typing the scriptures, the Spirit of the Lord told me not to write a message to go with those scriptures.  The Spirit of the Lord says that there are a number of women that will need just those scriptures to get by today.  To be reminded that I AM God!
 
Heavenly Father, I thank you for Your word on today.  I thank you for your words of comfort and that I am blessed by your word.  Father, I also pray that you will restore me and strengthen my relationship with you. I pray dear Lord that as I read your word that I will not just read the scriptures, but that I have all faith to believe and trust in You.  Lord Jesus, just as you were with Peter as he walked towards you, I pray that you are with me also as I walk towards you and you will calm the storms in my live today and that I won't be afraid when you bid me to come closer.  I thank you Lord for hearing my prayer, in Jesus name, Amen!
