TAKING BACK YOUR REMOTE

Hello, my sisters in Christ Jesus.  Sometimes I will find it necessary to repost certain blogs.  This blog is something that needs to hit home from some of us.


(Psalms 29:11) The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.
Mighty woman of God, it’s time for you to get your remote back. Yes, your remote! Picture this: you’re watching a program on television and every time a commercial comes on the person with the remote starts changing the channel. You don’t say anything but it is really annoying you. You just keep looking at the person with the remote, wishing they would stop pressing the button.

My question to you is, “Does someone else have your remote? By this, I’m asking, are you allowing someone else to control you? Do their reactions determine what type of day you are going to have? Are you constantly worried about whether they are going to be checking your phone messages?  Do you have to make sure you are home at the same time every day or else you are accused of cheating?  If you have any of those problems I just mentioned, then you have given your remote to someone else.  You are allowing someone to control you.

In my early 30's, I gave my remote to someone.  I had no control over anything in my life because of this person.  I went through mental, physical and emotional abuse.  He knew which buttons to press to make my life a living hell.  Whatever he said, I did, just to keep peace in my house.

One day I heard the Spirit of the Lord say to me, "Who are you?" I had no idea.  Never in a million years would I have thought that I would be so lost and allowing someone else to control me and my actions.  I was a strong woman before this person came into my life.  I started praying, something I hadn't done in ten years. I took my remote back (my life).  The remote symbolizes your life. I hope this message can save you ten years.

Here’s what I want you to do, refuse to let that person, place or thing control you.  Enjoy who you are and whatever decisions that you make with your life let them be yours.  Hold on to your own remote, it's your life, make up in your mind that you will no longer allow someone else to change your channel from peace to sorrow, joy to bitterness and hatred.  You should be able to control your own life.  Just because you put your remote down for a moment, doesn’t give any man, woman or child, the right to pick it up and begin changing your station.  LET US PRAY!

Heavenly Father, I give You all the praise and honor on today.  Lord, I pray that You give me the strength to take back whatever the enemy has stolen from me.  I pray also for wisdom and knowledge concerning any situation that may be controlling me.  Lord, I want to walk under Your guidance and authority.  Lord, I thank you for giving me strength to control my own life, and that I will have no fear to take back my remote.  I thank You Lord, for keeping me safe through this journey of my life, in Jesus name, Amen.

THE TWINS (Grace and Mercy)

Good morning, Mighty Women of God.

Why is God's Grace and His Mercy so important to us?  Why should we pray for His grace and mercy daily? 

Well, I'm glad you asked.  Years ago, before I became a Prayer Warrior, I'd always hear someone praying for grace and mercy.  It just seemed like something that you should say when you are at a lost for words during time of prayer.  Anyway, as I studied the Word of God and gained more knowledge of Him, I realized the purpose of having the Lord's grace and mercy.  Grace give us what we do not deserve.  For instance, we do not deserve the love of the Almighty God to send His Son to die for us.  All of us are sinners.  It's our nature.  God knows that, but He loves us anyway.  I have learned that I need God's grace to be upon my life to allow me to pray for others.  Paul talks about the thorn in his side that God would not remove.  "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, Prophet), you have to pay for whatever sins you do. This is a fact.  There are consequences for your actions.  The good thing here is that Jesus sits at the right hand of God the Father making His plead for us.  Even the most elect before God will bear His wrath.  This does not mean that God will not continue to use us for His glory (that's grace).  We should pray for God to have mercy upon us during the season of our punishment.  For instance, if you are not a good steward over your finances and decide to gamble away the finances that God has blessed you with and don't pay your rent, you will be put out.  Now, here comes God's mercy.  Praying for God to have mercy upon you because of your sin, He will make sure you have a roof over your head and food to eat.  That's mercy.  It may not be what you are used to having, but His mercy kept you and your family from living on the street.  (Read Micah 7:9).  LET'S US PRAY!

Father God, we thank you for your grace and mercy today.  Waking us up this morning and keeping watch over us as we slept last night.  You are such an awesome God.  You never sleep nor slumber.  You are the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  We honor you and adore you Lord.  Not just for things in our lives, but for our very lives. Lord we know that we are sinners and we are asking you today to have mercy upon us as we go through whatever the consequences are for our actions.  Have mercy upon our children Lord for the decisions that they may have made that will bring your wrath upon them.  Help us Lord to understand that you are our Heavenly Father and you love us and if you didn't punish us we might never learn the great extent of your mercy.  We understand that our sin does not keep you from loving us.  Thank you Almighty God.  In Jesus Name Amen.

THROW DOWN YOUR STAFF

Good morning, my sisters in Christ Jesus.  I pray that you are blessed and highly favored of the Lord our Savior, Jesus Christ.  I thank the Lord for you as I pray for you daily.

(Exodus 7:10-12), And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord had commanded:  and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.  Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.  For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

I just love the way that the Holy Spirit gives me the wisdom in bringing the scriptures to light in a different way.  Not taking anything away from the scriptures but the knowledge as to how to make the scriptures minister to you in a way that will make you smile or to say, Okay, I get it.
 
Today the Spirit of the Lord wants us to understand that the stories and scriptures in the bible are not just stories, or just for ancient times.  The bible is the Word of God and His desire for you is that by His Spirit you gain wisdom, knowledge and understanding that He is the same God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob.

Let's just say that you are Moses and you have been praying for the devil to release you from whatever you have been praying for deliverance from.  Maybe you have been praying for a family member or maybe for yourself.  Just like Moses, God has given you a weapon to fight the enemy with and He is going to give you precise instructions.  Your staff is Prayer.  But the moment you began praying, the enemy (magician) shows up and tries to trick you or speak to your mind and heart that he will swallow up your prayers and God will not hear you. If your faith is strong enough, when the enemy throws down his weapon, the weapon (PRAYER) that God has given you will be stronger and bigger that the devil and your staff (PRAYER) will swallow up anything that he (the devil) throws at you.
 
God spoke to Moses and Aaron, giving them instructions to throw down the staff that He gave them and watch Him demonstrate His power.  Moses and Aaron had no idea that the Pharaoh's magicians and were going to perform a trick that looked like the power of God was with them.  God is saying to you that the devil performs tricks and He (God) performs miracles.  So when the devil tries to trick you into believing that God will not deliver you or bless you, "THROW DOWN YOUR STAFF".  LET'S US PRAY!
 
Heavenly Father, I asked that you forgive me of my sins.  Those things that I may have said or done that did not bring glory unto Your Name.  Father, I pray that you guide me today and protect me from the enemy.  Father, as I read Your Word, I pray for understand and knowledge of Your Word so that I can guard the Word in my heart.  Thank you for believing in me and for my deliverance, in Jesus name, Amen.

Ladies, don't forget to sign up for the upcoming FREE Women's Conference, Sat. June 7th 1P-3P.  God would not be sending me over a thousand miles away, if He did not have a blessing for all of us.  Come on out for fellowship and a mighty move of God.  God bless you!
