PEACE BE STILL

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I thank God for each of you daily and "Spiritual Growth for Women Ministry".  I pray for you and that you are blessed daily of the Lord.

(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.

Jesus is giving the people a parable here concerning their house.  He is not speaking about a building, he is speaking about their body.  God is saying to you that if you built yourself up in Him, when the winds blow and a flood comes in your life; you will be able to stand.  A rock is solid, and sand can be blown all over the place.  This is the difference between living a life with Jesus Christ or living a life without Christ.

If you are the type of person that does not give 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, he finds it much easier to bring turmoil in your life.  As soon as something bad happens in your life, you fall down.  You end up making decisions that are not going to get you out of your storm.  You call all your girlfriends, instead of calling on the Lord.  Your foundation is not strong and you have a sand mentality.

If you are the type of person that reads the Word of God and pray on a daily basis, you have developed a rock mentality.  When the enemy comes to place turmoil in your life, you are not going to fall.  You know the blessings and promises that God has for you and you don't have time to waste by living a life without Christ.  When you are faced with difficult situations you know that God has already handled it for you.  You don't have to wonder or worry about it, you stand on God's Word.

When the flood comes and wind blows your will not fall because your foundation is a rock. 

Woman of God, in order to make it through this journey called life; you have to have a strong and solid foundation.  The foundation has to be what is on the inside of you.  It has to be the very essence of who you are in Christ.  You have to know that Christ sits on the right hand of God interceding on your behalf.  You cannot afford to be blown all over the place.   Your children count on you to guide them through life and if you are blown all over the place; you will not be able to give your children a solid foundation.   LET US PRAY!

Father God, I thank and praise you for your mercy and grace upon my life.  Lord, I pray for a closer relationship with you.  I pray that I am building myself on solid foundation.  Lord, I pray for your wisdom and understanding concerning your Word.  Lord, I thank you for making interceding on my behalf, in Jesus name, Amen.

MOVE, WOMAN OF GOD

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

We have a lot to cover today but I promise when you are done with the Lord's message you will be blessed.

(Matthew 11:22-25)  And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thous cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, then ye pray believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.  And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

I am going to reword the above scripture, the way that God gave it to me, to give to you today. I am only going to pull out certain words in the scripture. Watch this!

Have faith in God, say unto this mountain, be thou removed, have no doubt in your heart, believe, things shall come to pass, whatsoever things ye desire, pray, believe, ye will receive them, ye will have them, stand praying.

God has given you whatever you have asked of Him in faith.  You cannot have any doubt that the mountain in your life will be removed.  Anything that you have asked of God, if you believe, it will come to pass because you desired it, you will have it and above all, you are to stand praying. 

God gave you His word and you have to stand on the word of God.  The Lord is speaking to someone today prophetically.  He has already answered and fulfilled your prayer.  But your mountain is still standing in your way because you don't believe that it is cast away in the sea.  Your mountain is keeping you from receiving the Lord's promise for your life.  You have to move forward to receive what God has for you. 

Woman of God, I keep hearing the Spirit of God saying, "move, your promise is there, your promise is right in front of you, move.  Your promise is right in front of you, woman of God.  I am going to help you move, you need to move.  Someone that is reading this message, God has spoken to you and you know it.  He has told you to move and you have not done what He has told you to do because of the doubt in your mind.  God has told you to move in a certain direction in your life.  You have to change some things and take a different path, the one path you are on is wrong.  You are facing a big problem right now and it has gotten bigger than last year.  If you don't move it will be bigger next year.  Please move, that is what I keep hearing.  Move and the promise is there.  I hear God being more specific now, whoever you are, you have been crying for the past week.  You are wondering why God has not helped you, but He has told you what to do.  You have even been crying in prayer, you don't want to get rid of something bad to pick up God's goodness.

Father God, I thank you for your grace upon my life today.  Lord thank you for your message for the women on today.  Father God I am praying to touch and agree with whoever you are speaking to today.  Lord I pray that your promise on her life will come to pass.  Lord I am believing that by faith is has already been done.  Lord I speak your peace of mind upon her life, that she will move in the direction that you have told her to go.  Lord, I come against the enemy that is continuously speaking in her ear, I speak holiness upon her.  I pray that she will move forward in your word and move toward your will for her life, in Jesus name, Amen.

SEAL OF APPROVAL

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

(Daniel 6:8-9) Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

(John 6:27-29) Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which for him hath God the Father sealed.  Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them; This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

In the Old Testament, when a king would set a law, he would put it in writing and decree the law.  If he wanted to send a message out of his city to another king, he would then put his seal upon it.  Each king had their own seal of approval.  Once the king decreed a law or sent a message with his seal, it could not be changed, not even by him.  Every king had their own signature ring or seal.  No one in the entire kingdom had this seal, so it could not be duplicated by anyone.

In the New Testament, there is but one king.  The King of Kings (Jesus Christ).  God the Father sealed His only begotten Son.  The seal that God the Father placed upon Christ, cannot be altered in any way.  No one has the same seal, nor can Christ be duplicated.  God the Father had decreed that once His Son, Jesus Christ has died, risen and ascended unto heaven; there is a new seal.  The seal was not undone, it became new through the blood of Jesus.  Once Jesus Christ shed His blood for the believers, we were sealed by the blood of Christ.  The blood of Christ cannot be duplicated.  He is the King of Kings and that which He has decreed will come to pass.

This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.  We as believers have only but one things to do to receive the seal of the King of Kings; believe on him whom God hath sent.  LET US PRAY!

Heavenly Father, I thank and praise you on today.  Thank you for Your Son, King of Kings for the seal of approval.  The blood that was shed to seal my name in the book of life.  You are an awesome God and I pray for your grace and mercy on me.  Lord, give me the strength I need to overcome the pitfalls that will keep me from doing your will for my life.  Lord, I pray that you are glorified in my everyday life, in Jesus name, Amen.

THE BRUTAL TEACHER

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I thank God for each of you and pray for you daily.  I pray that you have been blessed by the daily devotions and you are truly growing in the Lord.

I have had some grade school teachers that I though were just brutal.  They gave homework on Fridays and test on Tuesdays, now who does that?  No, I am not going to talk about school teachers today.

In my opinion, the most brutal teacher that you will ever run into, is "experience".  Experience can be a brutal teacher if you don't learn a lesson.  If you think back over your life, I can assure you that life has taught you a lot about that teacher.  Once you began to go through that journey called life "experience" will ultimately be your best teacher.   If you don't learn by experience you will not learn your lesson.

Experience taught me that not everyone in the church that says, "hallelujah" will treat you like a Christian.  Experience has taught me that not everyone you come in contact with can be called your friend, they are acquaintances. I have been taught that doing recreational drugs can quickly become a habit and will start a downward spiral in your life.  I quickly learned that every man that says "I love you", really means "until we finish".  I had to learn that "I do", only meant "for now".  I quickly learned that just because we have a child together, didn't mean we were a family.  I was pushed into learning that forgiveness can sometimes only go one way.  An abortion does not make you feel better, it will just make you think of the possibility that is no longer there for the world.

I learned that God loves me no matter what I've done.  I have experienced the move of the Holy Spirit in my life.  I learned that prayer does change a lot of things.  I learned that if I just seek and His righteousness first, all things will be added to me.  I have experienced God changing my childrens circumstances around for His glory.  I have first hand experience that if I trust God with all my heart then He will move mountains on my behalf.  I have learned how to trust God in the midst of a storm in my life.  I know what it's like to experience speaking in an unknown tongues.

Here's the message: Look in the mirror and call yourself a teacher.  What qualifies you to tell your children about life? EXPERIENCE!  What qualifies you to minister to someone on the street? EXPERIENCE!

MIDST OF CHAOS

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I thank the Lord for each of you daily, and "Spiritual Growth for Women Ministry".  I speak blessings of joy and love into your lives and that the Lord God Almighty will meet your needs and wants on today.

Woman of God, chaos does not mean that God is mad at you or that you have done something wrong.  This world is full of chaos because it belongs to Satan.  Chaos keep you where God can work with you.  It builds your faith and confidence in God.  Without chaos in your life we would never go to God in prayer.  It's in the middle of chaos, when God does His best work on you.  He works on your character, your finances, marriage and children.  It's in the midst of chaos when we fall down on our knees and cry out in spiritual warfare.  It's in the midst of chaos when your spirit can get in sync with God.

In the midst of chaos, the disciples had to believe that Jesus was the Son of God.  Joseph was in the midst of chaos when he was sold into slavery by his brothers; but God used him to become a great chief.  Joseph later saved the town from a great famine in the land.  In the midst of chaos is when the woman with the issue of blood just touched the hem of Jesus' garment and was immediately healed.  In the midst of chaos is when Jesus Christ died and rose again for your sins.

God is using your chaos to be a blessing to someone else.  Because when you come out of your storm you will be a victorious woman.  You can reach down and pull someone else out of chaos.  The next times that you feel like you are in the midst of chaos, thank and praise God, because He knows your situation and He will bring you out.  God knows that you can handle your chaos.  He knows that you will praise Him in the midst of all your chaos.  Be still and know that He is GOD!

(Matthew 14:27-29)  But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.  And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.  And he said, Come. and when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on water, to go to Jesus.

Two sentences I want you to focus on in those scriptures: Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. Come.  LET US PRAY!

Heavenly Father, I thank and praise You for Your grace and mercy upon me.  Lord, help me to remember that you are in the midst of my chaos.  Lord, while I am waiting on you, I will be of good cheer and not be afraid, in Jesus name, Amen!

COMPLETE OR COMPETE

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God.

I pray that you are all in great health and spiritually growing daily.  I thank the Lord for "Spiritual Growth for Women Ministry" and that you have decided to be a part of.

Why do we find it so hard to complement each other? We seem to find it easier to tear each other down, in any way possible. Sometimes we know that if we say certain things it will hurt, but we do it anyway. Then somehow we try to justify it. Women compete over so many trivial things (men, hair, clothes, shoes, jewelry). We are in a time where we need to learn how to comfort and embrace one another.  I say this because we are supposed to be a peculiar type of people, different than the world.  People should be looking at you and inquiring how they can have the same type of love for people that you do.  Wondering why, you don’t have an attitude about something that they feel you should.  It’s okay to be peculiar, sanctified (set aside for God’s purpose).

Woman of God, you cannot do this unless you love yourself.  If you love yourself, just the way you are you will find it much easier to complement any woman.  You have to get into a place where you are comfortable with who you are.  God made you and you are perfect.  God did not make anything ugly or leave anything undone.  He formed every part of you while you were still in your mother’s womb.  He knew what color to make your eyes so that they fit perfectly with your face so you can see the enemy coming.  Your complexion is the perfect shade of color. Your lips are just the right size to speak the very words of God.  The hairs on your head are numbered one by one; it covers your head as a crown. Your ears are the perfect size so you can hear the voice of the Lord.  Your hands were shaped perfectly to hold your children.  Your legs were shaped and made strong enough to stand in the face of adversities.  You are perfect and everything about you is perfect.  Love yourself even if you feel that no one else does, because at the end of the day, you are the only you you’ve got.

It’s time for you to look in the mirror and determine to tell yourself, “I’m beautiful and I’m perfect!  Now that you have done this, you can easily complement another woman on her beauty.  It’s nothing wrong with that.  It means you are now complete and don’t have to compete.  LET US PRAY!

Heavenly Father, I thank You for forming me in perfection.  Lord, teach me how to love myself, so that I can love others.  Lord, I want to feel complete in You.  Lord, I am overjoyed when I think about how You created me; I’m me because You love me, in Jesus name, Amen.

FIGHT OR FLIGHT

God Bless You, Mighty Woman of God!

I speak blessings of peace, love and joy upon your life.  I speaking blessings of the Lord will overtake you as you seek Him daily.

(Daniel 10: 12-13) The he continued, "Do not be afraid, Daniel, Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.  But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty one days.  Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia.

Woman of God, I will give you the understanding of that scripture as the Holy Spirit gives it to me.  I want you to understand that scripture, because it is one of the reasons why God wants us to be prayerful at all times.  Daniel was an interpreter of dreams.  The king had many dreams that he did not understand and they vexed his mind.  He was told that Daniel could interpret any of his dreams and Daniel did so, only after he had prayed to God for the answer.  Daniel had been praying for the interpretation of a particular dream that the king had.  Now in this scripture, Gabriel tells Daniel that the moment he started praying God heard him and Gabriel was to deliver the message.  The prince of Persian is Satan.  Gabriel is telling Daniel that he had been fighting in the spirit realm for 21 days and Gabriel had to get the chief prince angel Michael to help him.

Now, I want you to understand that there is always a fight in the spirit realm over you.  Sometimes the things that you have prayed to God for might take some spiritual warfare.  That is what was happening to Gabriel while trying to bring Daniels message from God.  There are times in your life were the issues that you have brought before God will take some spiritual warfare.  Your blessings may be held up because of Satan (the prince of Persian).  You need to have the wisdom to know when you need to fight.  Daniel continued to pray until he got an answer from God.  You need to pray until something happens.  God wants you to know that he heard your prayer but this time you are going to have to fight and not flight.  When you recognize that the enemy is in your territory messing up your stuff, you need to fight and not flight.  Don't ever let the enemy gain a foothold in your life, over your children, over your finances or your mind, fight and don't flight.  God have given us the weapons of warfare to fight the enemy and Yes, the angels in heaven are fighting for you. Praise God!  LET US PRAY!

Heavenly Father, I am praying for the women in the ministry today.  Lord, I am praying for them to have strength in You.  Lord, I speak the power of the Holy Spirit upon them in the name of Jesus.  Father, I pray for their mindset on today, that they keep their minds stayed on You.  I speak blessings of favor upon their lives in the name of Jesus.  And by the power of the Holy Spirit given to me I rebuke the enemy in their homes in the mighty name of Jesus.  Lord that you be glorified in their lives, Amen.
