BIBLE STORIES
Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!
I love the way the Holy Spirit give me these messages. I can be thinking of something and he will use it for spiritual edification. You see, everyone says the bible never gets old. And at the same time when you read it, you may wonder how a scripture can be used to help you in your present circumstances. The gift that I have be anointed with by the Holy Spirit is to be able to listen and give you a rhema (fresh) word for today.
Even though there is a huge difference of years between today's Christianity living and the people in the bible, you need to know that we are not suffering anything new, it's only being brought to us differently by the devil. So although you may not be able to literally walk on water with Jesus, you can feel like you are walking on water (by passing all the sharks and piranhas) in your life as long as you follow after Jesus Christ when He bids you to come.
Peter walked towards Jesus Christ by faith and when Peter took his eyes off Jesus, he began to sink. The moment you take your eyes off Christ you will sink. Doubt is one of the things that will cause you to sink. Although you are not like the three Hebrew boy in the fiery furnace, you are thrown into the fire every the devil throws danger your way. If you allow the Holy Spirit to guide you at every turn of your life, you will come out of the furnace without a smell of smoke on you.
Even though you may not hold up a staff and part the Red Sea as Moses did, Jesus Christ has a way of moving everything that easily besets you to the side, allowing you to walk on dry land. Even though you were not thrown in a well by your brothers, Jesus Christ will still make your enemies your footstool. You were not in the manger at the birth of Jesus Christ to witness the kings bringing the baby gifts, You have the greatest gift of all through the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and that's everlasting life, eternity in Paradise with Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, the Prince of Peace, the Anointing One, Emmanuel, the Lion of Judah, JESUS CHRIST SON OF THE LIVING GOD! AMEN!
Take a moment and give the Lord some praise!
Don't forget to sign up for the Women's Conference, FREE! Held on May 25th, 2p-4p, The cut off date will be at the end of April. I am so excited at what the Lord is doing, and going to do for us women at the event. Bring a friend! GOD BLESS YOU!

THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS
(1 Corinthians 3:13-15), His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
When I was 19 years old, I had a friend that knew how to make pizza from scratch. She would buy all the ingredients she needed, including the toppings. Everything was fresh, nothing out of the can. We would get together on the weekends and she always had that pizza. Well, pizza is one of my favorite foods so I never complained about eating too much. On day I asked her for her recipe. She wrote down all the ingredients and step by step instructions to follow. My first attempt to make that pizza was a disaster. My second attempt was worst. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, what step I was missing. Finally, she actually came to my house so that we could make the pizza together, then I got it right. It turns out that I was not letting the yeast sit long enough to rise and I was letting the oven pre-heat, which was burning the crust way ahead of time.
Mighty woman of God, if you keep putting the same ingredients in your oven (you spirit), and things don't work out right, you have to change the way you are making it. You keep doing the same thing wrong you will get the same results (a disaster).
Now, let's look at this from a spiritual point of view. You are wondering why you seem to be going around in circles, going through the same bitterness, turmoil and challenges over and over again. You are not changing the ingredients but you want different results. You are asking God for the same things over and over again. His desire is to do whatever you need or want but you are not willing to change. Not only that, but you need to look at your instructions again (read your bible). If you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you're getting.
You need to invite the Holy Spirit to your kitchen (your spirit) and show you what ingredients to keep and what to throw out. In other words, what are the things you need to let go of to receive God's best for you. What ingredients do you need more of? What friends to let go and which friends to keep. Maybe you need more water (blood of Jesus, Word of God). Maybe you need more oil (anointing). Maybe you need more heat (the Holy Spirit), maybe you need more yeast (prayer), maybe you need less eggs (unevenly yoked, worldly things).
If you are missing some of the ingredients then every time you are tested by fiery darts of the devil you will not rise up. Until you have the right ingredients in your oven (your spirit, body, heart), your yeast (spirit) will not rise.
Don't forget to sign up for the Women's Conference, which is May 25th, 2P-4P, in the Chicagoland area. This event is FREE! We are going to have a blessed time in the Lord.
If you would like to support the ministry, please purchase a copy of my book, "Spiritual Growth for Women - Breaking Shackles", visit www.amazon.com or www.xlibris.com for your copy. I will be signing books at the event in May.

A NEW ENGINE
(1 Peter 3:3-5), Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful.
I can remember my first car. I was so excited to have it that I drove all the way home singing a song to my car. Mainly because I had no radio, but I was intended to use my pocket radio as soon as I got some AA batteries. LOL. As soon as I got home, I ran upstairs to tell my parents to look out the window and see my new car, I was so proud. They looked out the window and the look of wonder covered their faces because they didn't see a new car. What they actually saw was a little 4-door, Nova, Chevrolet, covered in rust but what they didn't know was that it had a new engine. I was still just smiling, admiring my new car. My son was 4 at the time and I said, "Hey, mommy got a new car, we don't have to take the bus anymore." I hurried and took him downstairs on the elevator and as we began to walk up to the car, he stopped and said, "ewwh, this ain't no new car!" I looked at him and said, "It's a new car, to me".
My point to this story is that sometimes not everyone sees things the way you do. Sometimes no everyone will accept the new you. They are looking at you from the outside and have no idea what you are actually working with on the inside. You were the friend that they used to get high with, party with and gossip with, but the more you seek out Christ, the more He changes you from the inside. So they are looking at you with their naked eyes but God is looking at you with His spiritual eyes. God does not see your outside, nor does He care about your outside, God is concerned about your heart, whatcha working with on the inside. You see, God doesn't care what you are wearing, how good your nails look or how much you paid for your jewelry. God is so beautiful that you can never outlook Him. You can spend thousands of dollars on your outward appearance and still you won't impress God. You may be able to impress your friends, but to God, you are wearing cheap clothes and jewelry.
Woman of God, I know that some of you have friends and family members that dress to impress all the time. They have to have a weekly appointment at the salon for their hair and nails and their jewelry is always sparkling in church. They are clean on the outside but their inner most parts are dirty. They are unloving, talk about you behind your back, tell all your secrets and are no where to be found when you really need a friend. That is the total opposite of God. His innermost parts are beauty, loving, kind, compassionate and friendly. He will never tell your secrets, talk about you behind your back and will always be there, wherever you are when you need Him.
So what, you can't always afford to get your hair done. So what, you don't get your nails done and so what, you don't have the latest trendy clothes. Just like my car, it had a new engine and it ran better than most new cars. Once you start living your life according to biblical principals and glorify God with all your heart, it's like getting a new engine. The outside may not look rich, but the inside is very rich and you won't every go bankrupt. When tough financial times hit, your new engine will sustain all the challenges of life. You seem to look the same on the outside but just like a car, you can't see the new engine until you actually life up the hood and look inside. DO YOU HAVE A NEW ENGINE? If not, you are going to run out of oil and your car will break down in the middle of the expressway. The last place you will want to break down at is in the middle of heavy traffic. If you are only concerned with how you look on the outside, your friend with rusty car will pass you up in the fast lane. When things get really bad and traffic is heavy, your friends will want to ride with you because of your new engine. PRAISE GOD!
Don't forget, the Women's Conference is just around the corner, sign up and I'll see you soon! God bless you.

STAND STILL
Good morning, Mighty woman of God! This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. No matter what, God's got your back.
(Ephesians 6:12-13), For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground and after you have done everything to stand.
The Lord has given us a powerful message for today. Earlier this week I blogged about the fact that we wrestle not against flesh and blood. Again, the writer is reminded us that are fight is not against what we and see with our eyes, but what we cannot see happening in the spirit realm. So, no matter what your circumstance or situation that you may be dealing with, it is all in the spirit realm. Until the day that Jesus Christ comes back for us, our battle will be in the spirit realm. It doesn't matter if it is financial problems, relationships, children, parents, employment, car need to be fixed, etc. You see in all of those circumstances God is in control and He will give you favor over all things on the earth. He will give you favor on the job, with the car repair man, over your finances and even when it comes to calling the electric company for an extension to keep your lights on.
Let's focus on the part of the scripture that says, "YOU MAY BE ABLE TO STAND YOUR GROUND AND AFTER YOU HAVE DONE EVERYTHING TO STAND". There are a number of things that YOU must do before you STAND. The first thing that you must do is to PRAY. Pray and make your request known to God. Jesus Christ sits on the right hand of God the Father, interceding on your behalf. Jesus interceding on your behalf means that He is moving in the spirit realm on your behalf. Making everything work out on your behalf. The next thing that you must do is PRAY for God's favor (grace). Next, you must do everything that YOU can concerning your situation. Whether is is making phone calls to bill collectors, calling your landlord, getting up and finding a job, job interviews, etc. Do all that you can on the earth, as far as what you can see (visible). If you don't do anything that how will you know that God has given you favor with people, places and things. Sometimes people will say, "I'm just trusting God", for this or that. But the mistake that you can make with that statement is that you have not done anything to see if God has given you favor over your circumstances. So you sit and do nothing. The most important thing that YOU MUST do is have faith, trust and believe that God is going to give you favor. It does you no good to pray for something and have doubt in your heart. Once you have done all those things then STAND and watch God move on your behalf.
HALLELUJAH! The Holy Spirit is given that message to someone for today. Not only that, as I write this I am hearing the Spirit say that this message is for me too. I thank God for being my God. I am so excited because I am believing Him for so much this year. Not only that, I keep hearing the Spirit of the Lord saying, someone else is expecting a miracle this year. You have been praying and praying, waiting and waiting, standing and standing, God says, "Get ready, get ready, get ready, because of your obedience through your struggle, your labor is not in vain. PRAISE GOD, for that prophetic word. God bless you.

WHEN YOU STUMBLE
Mighty Woman of God, I thank the Lord for each of you and your prayers daily. "Spiritual Growth for Women Ministry", started one year ago and the group has grown to over 300 women. I pray that through this ministry you have been blessed by the daily devotions. I have had the opportunity to pray with several of you, either by phone or messages and I pray that you have found that I am a vessel of God and I will never betray your confidence.When you stumble, why not say, "if you stumble?" It would be unrealistic for me to assume that you would never stumble at some point in your spiritual journey. You will stumble, that's a given. We all stumble at some time, even the most elect in the churches. We are imperfect people and therefore we are always doomed to that awful thing called "sin".
When I got baptized into the Body of Christ, I immediately thought that all my sins were washed away as soon as I came up from that pool. The bible says, “All things are new, the old has passed away and that I would be a new creature in Christ.” That was exactly what I was expecting, right then and there, right on the spot. I was under the assumption that as soon as I left the church, I would not smoke, drink or do any drugs. I thought all those things fell off in the pool. Boy was I sadly mistaken. Nobody told me that I would actually have to work at keeping myself away from those things.
As soon as I left the church, I got in the car and had my cigarette. Why didn't this stay in that pool of water? Once I got home, I slipped into my comfortable clothes and smoke a joint. Why didn't that stay in that pool of water? I wasn't done yet, I had to have my drink, that didn't stay in the pool either, imagine that. What did I get for being baptized? What special powers do I have? That was exactly what I was thinking. I later came to realize that I did have power, but I did not know anything about the power of the Holy Spirit. So to me, all I got was really wet.
Well, I mind as well keep going to church. It's not that far from the house and I did like the pastor and the choir. I had a great time at church when it came to fellowship with the other saints. I kept going back, I just kept going back. Sunday after Sunday, then Bible study after Bible Study. Eventually the power that I was expecting finally showed up. I begin to get convicted of those things that I just wasn't ready to leave at the altar. That power was the Holy Spirit and He wasn't giving up on me without a fight. Thank you Jesus.
I stood at the altar and had hands lay upon me three times for drugs, twice for alcohol and I can't even count how many times for cigarettes. Each time that I got up off that purple carpet, I thought things just magically disappeared. Nope, they didn't. I stumbled again and again, until finally I had to make up in my own mind that I was worth more. I had to come to the realization that I was valuable to Christ.
Woman of God, don't spend time worrying about how many times you stumble, as long as you don't stay down. If you are having trouble with a particular sin in your life, keep stepping and the Lord will take care of it, if you truly desire to be free from whatever it is. Don't let the enemy trick you into thinking that God is not going to kept helping you. Yes, He will, if you keep going back. Think about how many times you help your own children that you love. God loves you more than that so just keep on stepping. The bible says that a just man will fall seven times. Consider yourself a just woman and you will stumble, it’s in your nature, but you have to make a conscience decision that you are going to be a fighter; not only will you be a fighter, but you will be a winner.
The scripture clearly states that the Lord will make your step's firm, if He delights in you. The Lord delights in you every time He sees you trying, striving towards perfection. He will not let you fall; He will uphold you with His hands. Praise God! Amen!
If you are ever in need of prayer, need someone to talk to or someone to touch and agree with you in prayer, please don't hesitate to call me @678-629-3179. God bless you! See you in May.

WELCOME HOLY SPIRIT
Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God! I speak the spirit of peace and joy upon your life. I pray that the Lord will place a hedge of thorns around you and you will have victory of the enemy, in Jesus name.
(Acts 1:4-8), And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For john truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence (8), But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come unto you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Have you ever noticed that you could have the taste for something and you keep eating until you are satisfied. Sometimes you might crave a Pepsi or Coke and when you are given a Spite you are not satisfied, until you finally get that Pepsi or Coke. Nothing else will quench that craving that you have. Our spirit and soul quenches after the Holy Spirit daily. Once you have tasted or shall I say felt the presence of God in your life, you won't settled for just a portion of God, you want what you are used to receiving.
The Holy Spirit is the one who brings the voice of God into your heart with clarity. God: the more of the Holy Spirit you have within you, the clearer you will hear His voice. God: the presence of the Holy Spirit in you life daily has to be ushered in, meaning Good morning, Holy Spirit. Do this everyday, renewing His presence. If you listen, you will be aware, have knowledge of what you should or should not do concerning your day to day life. Man was made in the imagine of God and His likeness, that is the reason why we all crave for the presence of God in our life. We thirst for the presence of God because it satisfies us. Have you ever been in a place where the Spirit of the Lord was so overwhelming that you just began crying for no apparent reason? Or have you've ever been in church and the move of God was so strong that you and people next to you began to dance or fall out? Once you have had that experience, you know in your heart that the presence of God fell and rested upon you, you won't just settle for a small breeze, your spirit will crave a rushing mighty wind all over you.
God rested with Moses once Moses was transformed into the man that God needed him to become. God talked with Moses, taught Moses, gave Moses instructions on how to approach the Pharaoh and how to lead the people out of Egypt. God told Moses to raise his hands and part the Red Sea. In the New Testament we read about the birth of Jesus Christ. We read about His ministry and His betrayal by Judas. Once Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross and took all of our sins upon Himself he descended up to heaven after His death. Jesus Christ appeared to the twelve disciples to prove to them that they were not alone and that His Father, God, sent Him to be the Messiah. In the book of Acts, Jesus Christ tells His disciples to stay around a little longer because once He was gone, He will send another, which is the Holy Spirit, His Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord. A lot of the times we forget about the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not the least of the God-head, He is equal, because He is the Spirit of the Lord. Just as you may pray and say, "God I thank you for a beautiful day". It would not be demeaning to God is you say, "Holy Spirit, I thank you for a beautiful day", because you will be praying to the Spirit of the Lord. Jesus told the disciples that once the Holy Spirit comes, He will teach you all things. PRAISE GOD!
I pray that you have been given more knowledge of who the Holy Spirit is and how He works in you day to day life. The book of Acts explains in more details of the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of the Lord).
