THE LIGHTHOUSE

I pray that you are well and that you have had a joyous holiday.  I thank God you and continue to pray for you daily.

(Psalms 119:105), Your Word is a lamp unto my feet.

(Psalms 27: 1), The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid?

(John 8:12), When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Lighthouse - A tall structure topped by a powerful light used as a signal or beacon to aid marine navigation.
Navigate - To record, plan or control the position and course of a ship or aircraft. To follow a planned course on, across, or through.
Hold on now, I'm going somewhere with this.  I just need to set the stage.  If I were to put those two definitions together, I would say that a lighthouse is a large powerful structure used to keep ships on course.  I can also use those definitions to say, "Jesus Christ is a powerful Light that can keep us on course or guide us to follow the plan that He has for us; before we were born.
If I were to describe how my life used to be without Jesus Christ navigating me through the windstorms of my life, I would say that I was lost at sea.  I could not see His beacon of ling to put my life back on the planned course.  I couldn't see His powerful Light that eventually guided me through my drug addiction.  I couldn't see the Lord holding back the raging sea of physical abuse (that could have killed me) so that I could passed safely through the waters.
I have seen movies where a ship was lost at sea, and it was too dark for the captain to tell how far it was for them to reach land and suddenly there is a powerful beacon of light shining bright enough to navigate the captain to the dock.
Woman of God, when you are going through difficult times and your circumstances seem too dark to bare; trust the Lord to navigate, and keep watch over you.  He will guide you to the Light (Himself) safely.  Just because you don't see the Light doesn't mean that He is not there.  Maybe you need to change your course and follow the Lord's  plan.  Maybe you are at the point where the Lord is telling you to stay on course, but you can't see Him.  The Lord's message for you today is to stay on course, follow His plan for your life and you will see His powerful Light that is navigating your through the dark seas.  You see, Jesus Christ's Light is stronger than your darkness.  Amen!
Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Your Son Jesus Christ to be my Light.  My prayer today, Father is that you continue to be my guiding Light.  Everywhere my footstep travel You Lord are with me.  I thank you Lord that through the rough seas of my life, You are with me.  I know Lord that you will never leave nor forsake me through my darkest hours.  I love you Lord, I pray Lord by the power of the Holy Spirit that I walk in a Spirit of Peace right now, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Don't forget to sign up for the 2nd Annual Women's Conference in Chicago, the first week in June.  I know that it seems far away but planning to hold a nice event takes a lot of time.  I want everyone to be comfortable so the renting of the space is very important.  Also you can purchase a copy of my book, "Mighty Woman of God", for less than $10 at www.amazon.com.  Thank you and be blessed.

SPIRITUAL GROWTH FOR WOMEN MINISTRY

Hello, Mighty Woman of God!

I am so excited to say that as of January 1, 2014, "Spiritual Growth for Women Ministry", has been in existence for 2 years.  I cannot believe that from the Lord giving me instructions to start a blog, that a women's ministry would be birthed.  The ministry has grown from 10 to over 150 in that time.

I would like to that all of you ladies, my friends, my daughters and my sisters in Christ Jesus, for allowing me to come into your lives and homes.  Without you, there would be no ministry.  You have supported me and keep me doing what the Lord wanted me to do.  I have gotten to know some of you through personal prayer, praying on the phone, or just sending a message of encouragement and hope.  I pray that you have found that I have been truthful and open through my blogs.  I pray that you have been encouraged and comforted and have been given hope to you.  And as promised, I have never spread your business on Facebook.

Now in the upcoming year, the Lord is going to do a new thing within the daily blogs.  How many of you believe that God wants you free in every area of your life?  I will still be using the scriptures in the bible as a guide.  But God wants you to be perfected in your marriage, finances, children, etc. I don't claim to be an expert in any of those subjects but I will just tell you what worked for me.

Again, thank you for being a part of "Spiritual Growth for Women Ministry".  I hope to see a lot of you in June for the 2nd Annual Women's Conference.  This is a FREE event, just sign up as soon as possible.  Also, you can purchase a copy of my book, "Mighty Woman of God" at www.amazon.com for less than $10.

God bless you all, I am so excited to see what God has in store for this ministry.  I love you with the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.  God bless you.

IT IS WHAT IT IS

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I speak blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ over your and your family and may the Lord continue to walk with you as you seek after Him.
 
(Isaiah 55:8-11), For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord.  As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.  As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth:  It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
 
This morning, while in my prayer time I had some questions for the Lord regarding the assignment that He gave to me two days ago.  I am a Prophetess of the Lord so you would like that I would be able to recognize and hear the Lord clearly but sometimes I do ask for confirmation.  I don't tell the Lord how to go about giving me a clear understand, I just wait.  Anyway, as I prayed about the message for today, the Lord gave me the scripture for today.  And as I began typing the scripture, I got my answer, my confirmation given to me in the WORD of GOD, the BIBLE!  I am going to use me as an example of what the Lord is telling us today.
 
God told me that I put Him in a box when it comes to Him blessing me with everything that He has for me.  Now, keep in mind that God's riches and blessings doesn't necessarily mean that I will get a lot of money, not at all.  There are so many other aspects of my life that I need to be blessed.  But my problem is not fully trusting in God.  I do have faith that if God said it, He will do it.  Sometimes we know in our heart that God can bless us with our needs and wants, our problems is will He do it, not can He do it.  Sometimes we put God in a box, without even realizing it, even the most seasoned woman of God can make that mistake.
 
Often times we put ourselves in a box when it comes to the things of God.  We know that He can do exceedingly and above all that we can ever think, but will He do it for you.  When we ourselves are in a box, we also put God in a box.  In this world, we often look at our situation or circumstances as the world does; not with our spiritual eye.  Sometimes we say to ourselves, "It is what it is".  Meaning we tend to accept things the way they are because other people, places, or things are controlling what we think is the best thing.  Let's put it this way, we accept the doctor's bad report.  We accept the fact that the computer says our credit is too bad to get a house or other things.  We accept the fact that we are in a bad and toxic relationship because we don't see ourselves as doing any better.  The term, "It is what it is", should not be said uttered out of your mouth if you have faith in God.  "It is what it is", should be rephrased to say, "It is, what God says it is".
 
Mighty woman of God, study the above scripture because God has an answer for you, just like He had a confirmation for myself.  Your answer is in that scripture.  I don't know who it is but God says, "Study that scripture, my daughter".
 
Heavenly Father, I thank and praise You for Your word on today.  Father, I pray that Your forgive me for not trusting fully in You and Lord the times when I start to limit You, I pray that You continue to speak to my heart.  And Lord that you are a light unto my feet and I thank You for Your Spirit that You gave to me to teach me in all of Your ways.  Lord I thank You for not getting in that box with me and remaining me that Your thoughts are far greater than anything I can ever think of and Your ways are not man's way.  In Jesus name, Amen!

GOD'S ALREADY THERE!

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I speak blessings upon you and your family on today and may the peace of God lighten any load that you may have today.
 
If you would like to support "Spiritual Growth for Women Ministry", you can purchase a copy of "Mighty Woman of God" at www.amazon.com for less than $10.  Thank you and God bless you.
 
The Lord gave me a revelation on today's message.  It is definitely a blessing for me, because the message was for me.  I just had to listen and allow the Lord to tie the scriptures together for me.  So I will do the same for you.
 
(Exodus 14:13-14, Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid.  Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today.  The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.  The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.
 
(Exodus 14:19-20), Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel's army, withdrew and went behind them.  The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them, coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel.  Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.
 
The Israelites had not knowledge about the God that Moses served.  In fact, Moses didn't clearly understand God either.  But the more that Moses followed God's instructions and actually saw God miracles, he began to understand, know and have a close relationship with God.  He also realized that the God he served was much more powerful that any man. 
 
In Exodus 14: 10-12, the Israelites began complaining to Moses that the Egyptian army was close behind them and they felt that Moses' God lead them to their death.  The were at the point where they felt that they should have stayed slaves to the Egyptians.  They wanted to be free but they were unwilling to listen to the commands of God.
 
Read the first scriptures above, God is saying to you "Don't be afraid of what you see or what you may encounter along the way".  STAND FIRM and you will see God do some miraculous things in your life.  The same God that Moses served is the same God today.  Also God is saying to you, "He will fight your battles and the issues, deliverance and health problems that you have today, you will have no more".  The people that are mistreating you and laughing behind your back will be no more".  Don't complain and think that God is not moving on your behalf.
 
The Holy Spirit gave me this for me and you about the next scriptures, Exodus 14:19-20.  We cannot see the angel of the Lord that is right in front of us.  So we try to do God's work for Him.  There was an angel of the Lord that was leading the Israelites the whole time.  There was a pillar of cloud also with them to keep them out of darkness and keep the light shining over them.  As the enemy got closer, the angels of God, got instructions from God to move and go behind the Israelites to keep the enemy at a safe distance for them.  They didn't even notice the angel or the cloud that was with them.
 
God says, "Even though you don't see Him right in front of you, just believe and know that He is.  Even though it may seem as though the enemy is closing in on you, God has an angel right in place to continue to give you His light, and keep the enemy in back of you.  Even though you don't see how your situation can get any better, the Spirit of the Living God is going before you and will always be your guide".
 
This is the scripture that the Holy Spirit gave me to pray for us today. This scripture also ties into the above scripture.  (Psalms 119:105-112).
 
Heavenly Father, You word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.  I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws.  I have suffered much; preserve my life, O Lord, according to Your word.  Accept, O Lord, the willing praise of my mouth, and teach me your laws.  Though I constantly take my life in my hands, I will not forget your law.  The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from your precepts.  Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart.  My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end.  In Jesus name, Amen!

TURN-UPS

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I speak blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior over you and your household.  And that you prosper spiritually and physically as you follow after Him.
 
(Matthew 7:1-5) Do not judge, or you too will be judged.  For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.  Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your sister's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?  You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your sister's eye.
 
TURN-UPS, no I didn't misspell the word.  What are "turn-ups" you ask?  Well, to some of you, it's not a good message if the Holy Spirit begins to tug at you.  But all messages are always out of love.
 
"Turn-ups" are people who turn up their noses at other people, like they ain't never been through nothing themselves.  "Turn-ups" are people that forgot they weren't born saved and even if they were they still have sinned. "Turn-ups" are the type of people that have nothing else to do all day but to continuously watch you and wait for you to mess up.
 
I don't need anyone around me that has not been in the dirt at some point in their lives.  I don't need anyone around me that act like they don't experience having marital problems.  They act like for the 15 years they have been married, they have never said anything or done anything wrong to their spouse.  I don't need anyone around me that will "turn-up" their nose if I ask for prayer because I deal with depression or panic attacks.  I don't need anyone around me that will "turn-up" their nose if they see me drink a glass of wine in a restaurant.  Or maybe heard me say something that won't be pleasing to God.  I don't need anyone around me that will try to make me feel any less of an Evangelist or Prophet of God, because they heard me get loud with someone.  I don't need anyone around me that I can't talk to in secret and then tell someone else.  People don't put themselves upon a pedestal because of a title in front of their names, you try to put people there.  And if they don't live up to your expectations, you become a "turn-up".
 
What I do need is someone that will have no problems, saying, "you know you are wrong", and still mean it out of love.  I do need someone around me that can say, "I've been where you are, things will get better".  I do need someone around me that will say, "I have trouble in that area of my life too".  I do need someone around me that will say, "Let's pray, right now", not I'll call you later, or I will put in a good word for you.  What I do need is someone that knows I'm going through some things without even telling them, because they are in tune with not only me, but God.
 
If you have read my bio attached with my blog or have read the back of my book, you will notice that I am not at all shamed of the life that I came from.  Just don't you act like you haven't came from some place too.  Cause if you are a "turn-up" Christian you are still in denial and a huge target for the enemy to use.  So the next time you think about  "turning-up" your nose and laughing at someone else in need, think back over your life, some of you don't have to think back to far.  To be a fly on the wall in your house will reveal that you are still dealing with some things too.
 
I think that one of the reasons why people are so judgmental of others is so the focus will be off of them and their bad behavior.  You try to justify your bad behavior by saying, "Nobody's perfect".  You think that's an excuse.  But you won't extend that "nobody's perfect" gesture to the one that you constantly "turn-up" your nose at.
 
I heard a saying one time that goes a little bit like this:  You don't have to call your best friend when you are in trouble, because she is right there with you.
 
Heavenly Father, I pray that You forgive me of all my sins.  Not just the ones that I am willing to say aloud but even the ones that are on my heart and mind.  Forgive me Father if I have not been a good steward over the friendships that You have blessed me with.  Father I pray that You create in me a clean heart and a right spirit, of one that You can use.  I realize that You cannot use me, if I am speaking and acting unpleasing to You.  I love You Lord and I want to be forgiven of all my sins, in Jesus name, Amen.

A GREAT GESTURE

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I speak the blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ over you and your household.
 
"Mighty Woman of God", is on sale now at www.amazon.com.  The price is less than $10 so you can get two, give a blessing to a friend.
 
This is one of my OUCH messages, but I do believe that if more Christians admit where they need more of or less of we would be able to let our light shine so that we can draw more people to Christ Jesus.
 
Prayer, Praise, Worship, Reverence.  Sometimes we do these things and think that God should be please with us.  When in fact, some of us think that God owes us something because we are giving Him a "great gesture".  Some of us have the attitude of, "Lord, I read my bible scripture this morning.  And I said three thank you Jesus' this morning, so where is my reward?  Where is my blessing?"
 
A "great gesture" is when we hold the door open for someone that has their hands full.  A "great gesture" is when we offer to give a dollar to the person in the store, that doesn't have enough to pay for their grocery bill.  A "great gesture" is when we give our neighbor a cup of milk or sugar.  With all these "great gestures", that we might do for someone we get a thank you from them.  Some of us put Jesus Christ in those categories and we expect Him to say, "thank you to us".  We forget that God doesn't owe us anything, nothing, NO THING.  And yet we have the nerve to expect whatever it is that we want Him to do for us, because we gave Him a "great gesture" for the day.
 
When God the Father sent His Son, Jesus Christ to be beaten beyond recognition, it was not just a "great gesture".  It was not a "great gesture" when God had to watch His Son, Jesus Christ, get nailed to a cross for our sins.  It was not a "great gesture" when Jesus cried out to God the Father, saying, "It is finished".  So pleased don't think that God owes us anything, because we decide to give Him our little three minutes of prayer, praise, worship or reverence.  Three minutes is not considered adoration, humility, love, companionship, it's a "great gesture".  If all that you have time to do, is to give God a "great gesture", keep it, don't waste your time.  God does not need your "great gesture".  Amen.
 
Heavenly Father, I thank You for my life on today.  I know that you have all power and that I did not even deserve to have your sunlight wake me up this morning.  Father, please forgive me for my sins, the ugly things I do and the things that I have in my heart and mind that does not bring glory to Your name.  Father, I want to have a closer relationship with you.  I don't want to my prayer to be considered a great gesture, teach me Lord how to be a good steward over the time that you give me, so that I can give You more time in my day.  I love you Lord, and I pray that Your create in me a clean heart and mind so that I can worship You in a spirit of truth, in Jesus name, Amen.

THE THIN LINE

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I speak the Lord's blessings over you on today.  Peace, joy and love during this holiday season!
 
"Mighty Woman of God is on sale now at www.amazon.com for less than $10, a perfect gift for a friend.  Thank you for your support.
 
God is so awesome in His wisdom.  The Lord's parable to you today is concerning your spirituality.  He has blessed me with this message for myself and I want to share the message with you.
 
Once we decide to not only accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God and invite Him into our hearts and our lives; we should not stop there.  Meaning at least giving it our best shot of trying to live right; we step over an imaginary line.
 
Now I want you to visualize what I am saying, with your spiritual caps on.  Imagine you stepping over an imaginary line and immediately stopping once both of your feet are planting over that line.  Imagine standing at a place where you could easily step either your right or left foot backwards, with the line in between your right and left foot. 
 
God's says, "The longer you stay in a position where you are on the border of stepping backwards into your old ways, old habits and old ways of thinking; you are in trouble spiritually.  You are putting yourself and your spirituality in jeopardy.  Yes, you have stepped over the line of your past but you must not stay there or stop there.  The enemy is constantly going to and fro seeking whom he can devour and because you have stepped over that line; he is angry.  If you stay where you are you will not have any bargaining room.  Meaning, if you slip up and fall slightly backwards you will end up on the wrong side of the line.
 
One of the ways that you can make sure that you keep moving forward; once you have crossed that line is to stay in constant contact with the Lord.  If you stay barely over that Satan knows that all he has to do is send small fiery darts your way.  Those small fiery darts can come in any type of form.  For instance, abusive boyfriend, drinking, drugs, bad for you friends, etc.  Even though you know in your heart that you are better off with God in your sight and Satan in your rear view, your flesh is still fighting with your heart.  Constant prayer, worship and praise will strengthen your heart and allow you to get pass your flesh making all your decisions.  PRAISE GOD!
 
Heavenly Father, I thank and praise You for Your Son that died for me.  Jesus Christ died so that I can live and live a victorious life over Satan.  Father, my prayer today is that you give me the strength that I need to keep moving forward.  I don't want to stay where I am, my hearts desire is to keep moving forward with all of your best in my heart.  I thank you Lord that even though I may fall back you won't let me go as long as I keep you in my sight.  Thank you Father for your love in Jesus name, Amen!

CIRCLE OF LIFE

Good morning, Mighty woman of God!  I pray that you are blessed and highly favored of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
Reminder: "Mighty Woman of God", is available for purchase for less than $10 at www.amazon.com.  Bless someone with a great gift.
 
CIRCLES OF LIFE - YOU WILL KEEP GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES UNTIL YOU CHANGE DIRECTIONS, CHANGE YOUR COURSE OR BREAK FREE!
 
The other day, I was enjoying one of my favorite movies.  As a writer, I am always on duty, and I am always looking for the next message from the Lord, with pen in hand.  I get a lot of these catchy titles from the Lord and what to write to enable the people of God to grasp what God is showing them or the point that He wants to get across.
 
Anyway, in the movie, there is a scene that the Lord had me to focus on.  He said, "That is what many of my people are doing this very day.  Okay, so let me set the scene for you.  This man was in the Sanity Ward of a Turkish prison.  He was not as insane as everyone else in that ward but he was getting there.  And the longer he remained there, the more he began to look and act like the others.
 
There was a pole in the center of this room and about 20 of the insane prisoner would just walk around this pole going clockwise.  All day long, they walked in a clockwise motion around the pole. They never spoke and they never changed directions.  The new guy finally decided that he was going to try to change the direction that they were walking.  He got in that circle and started walking in the opposite direction.  They didn't pay him any attention, they stayed on course.  At one point, he even tried to physically turn them around, but they just didn't get it.
 
Today God says to you, "I am trying to turn you around but you just don't get it.  You keep going around and around in circles.  You just don't get it."  You put God in a box when you have the mindset that you have always done things like this or like that.  God wants you to change course, change the directions that you are going, because you are headed for a big fall.  If you do not change your ways you will only have gone around in circles, ending up in the same position (state of mind) that you started, when you first got saved.  If you don't change course, you will began to look and act just like the Christians that only remember that they are saved on Sundays.
 
Some of you repeat the same prayer (repetitive prayer almost like you have it written down on a piece of paper.  You sing the same songs and say to yourself, I've been doing it this way all my life, why change now?  Why do something new?  You want God to do something new in your life, but you keep God in a box.  CHANGE COURSE MY SISTER, CHANGE COURSE!
 
Heavenly Father, I thank you for loving me enough to speak to my heart today.  Father, I pray that you forgive me for my sins in the name of Jesus.  Father, I realize that I have not changed since the day that I first received you as my Lord and Savior and I am praying now Father that you help me to change the course and direction that my life is going.  Father, I do not want to remain in the same state, day after day.  My desire is that I get to know you more intimately through prayer and worship.  Today Lord, I am changing direction to move in the way that you need me to move, in Jesus name, Amen!
