HOW DID I GET HERE?

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!
I pray that you have been blessed by "Spiritual Growth for Women Ministry" and the Lord's messages.  I speak peace into your lives and pray that your relationship with the Lord is growing during your spiritual journey.

You were raised in the church.  Your parents went every chance they had the opportunity.  You sang in the choir and went to church revivals.  You have a voice for the Lord and you read your bible faithfully.  You prayed for others and watched as the Lord God did miraculous things in their lives.  The only time you weren't in church was when the doors were locked.  You had a personally relationship with the Lord.  There was no way that you would even think of living your life without His presence.

A woman's downfall always seems to be a man, or significant other.  Satan knows that one by heart.  He doesn't even have to doubt whether or not you will fall when he sends the right person in your direction.  We get blind-sided by love, lust, loneliness, money and other things that will not last in the long run.  You are not with someone that used to care about you, when you first met.  Your love for him has not changed but his love for you have turned into emotional and mental abuse.  He moved into your home with you or you and your children and now he just stops by.  You don't know where he is for days, but when he shows up with the perfect story, you are all of a sudden just happy to see him.  You don't want to mention where's he's been and that womans intuition tells you that he is definitely lying about whatever comes out of his mouth.  You don't say anything, in fear that he will leave for a couple of more days again.

He somehow convinces you that you are just a jealous person and are out of your mind.  The truth is, you are out of your mind because you keep going through the same thing over and over again, hoping that things will change.  Things will not change for him, because he's happy.  Things won't change for you, because you have been blinded by the enemy.  You know it, but fear keeps you in that strange circle of a relationship.  You have been told that he is the best thing you will ever have.  No one else will treat you better and you will be alone.  For some reason, you have not realized that you are already alone and a good man will never treat you the way that he does. 

All of a sudden, you realize that you don't even know where your bible is and you don't have one gospel song to listen to.  What happened?  How did I get here?  When did I let go of Jesus?  Will Jesus forgive me and accept me back? 

I have asked myself those same questions.  The only answer I could come up with was that Jesus would forgive me and take me back if I ask Him. I have to run and not walk to Him, begging Jesus to have mercy on me.  Pleading with Him to help me out of the relationship with a man that will take me to hell with him, if I don't find my way back.  I no longer asked myself, how did I get here, I just wanted to know if I could make it back.  I stopped looking for a man to make me me happy, I had to wait for God to send me a man of God.

Sometimes you can go through this life so fast, that you will forget what is really important.  God has a purpose for you, way before you were conceived and the enemy has a way of taking you for the detour of you life. God's purpose and perfect will for your life will ultimately get the victory if you have started and the right place, you won't have to ask yourself, "how did I get here?"  Just know that you don't have to stay there.  GOD BLESS YOU!

FINAL DESTINATION

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I pray that you are blessed and highly favored of the Lord on today.  May God bless you with all of your needs and wants on today.

(2 Corinthians 4:18), "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.  For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

When life gets tough, when you're overwhelmed with doubt, or when you wonder if living for Christ is worth the effort, remember that you are not home yet.  At death you won't leave home, you will go home.  For those of you that are Christians or living your life to be Christ-like, remember that we are strangers in this land.  This earth is not our home, we are visitors, foreigners.  When you leave this earth it is not the end of your life, it is just the beginning.  The bible says, that in heaven there are many mansions and Christ has prepared a place for you.

 

 

Now, here is reality.  Some people live each day like it is the last day on earth.  You have decided to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, but you don't spend any time to commune with Him.  It was just words to say at the time, or because everyone else in your row at church gave their life to the Lord you didn't want to be sitting by yourself.  When you decided to accept Christ as your Savior you also made a covenant with Him.  You are supposed to be at least attempting to live a life of holiness.  I do realize that temptation is always lurking at your door, but you have to pray and spend time with the Lord to make those tempting moments a little more bearable to overcome.  If you spend more time with the Lord, you will be lifted up above temptation and might not even notice.

Righteousness is not a hard thing to obtain.  The bibles says, "No one is righteous".  But you can be counted righteous before God.  Abraham was counted righteous in God's eye, because of his obedience and faith in the Lord God.  Job was counted righteous before God, because no matter what Satan took away from Job, Job did not curse God.  It's time for us Christians to stand up for what we believe to be right according to the Word of God.  We compromise too many times when we know something is wrong, we say nothing.  You cannot act anyway you please, because you were bought with a price and the price of the blood of Jesus Christ was not cheap.  Therefore, you are supposed to be here on earth working for Christ, for your crown which is in heaven.  There is nothing here on earth that is worth more that what God has in stored for you in Heaven with Him.

Before you reach your "final destination", which is in heaven, you are should try to live a life of Christianity.  You are a stranger in this land and you should not be conforming to the way of the world.  Everyone smokes weed, so you compromise.  Everybody has pre-marital sex, so you compromise.  You think that you can put God in the closet while you are sinning, you are sadly mistaken.  The bible says, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.  Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?" Then I will tell them plainly, "I never knew you.  Away from me, you evildoers!"

I think a lot about the above scripture, those are words that I will never want to hear from the Lord.  I am not judging you, just trying to help.  I am not boasting about myself, just trying to do whatever I can; so that I do not hear Jesus say those words to me when I have reached my 'final destination'.  And when I reach my 'final destination', my prayer is that I will see you there in your mansion.  MAY GOD BLESS YOU!

TAMING THE TONGUE

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I bless the Lord for each of you and pray that you are growing each day during your spiritual journey with the Lord Jesus Christ.  Today message may sting a little bit, but as always, I ask that you keep an open mind.  God bless you.

(James 3:7-10), People can tame all kinds of animals and birds and reptiles and fish, but no one can tame the tongue.  It is an uncontrollable evil, full of deadly poison.  Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it breaks out into curses against those who have been made in the image of God.  And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth.  Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!

Have you ever said something to someone and immediately you wish you could take it back?  You wish you could just grab the words out of the air, before they reach their destination.  The thing about speaking words out of your mouth is that you can never catch the words once they leave your mouth.  You can eventually apologize for the things that you have said that may have harm someone, but the words still have power.  The bible says, "There is life and death in the power of the tongue".  You can easily speak blessings upon someone or even in your own life, as well as curse someone or yourself.

Think of yourself in worship service at church or in prayer; you are blessing the Lord God and  praying to Him with all your soul.  You may even speak in tongues at some point while praising God, then as soon as church is over, you go home and curse your children out.  God is saying that this should not be so.  I don't use profanity at all, I use to curse like a sailor, so to say.  But I don't use profanity because God has delivered me from that type of poison on my tongue.  Now that I often pray for people and sometimes deliver a prophetic word to people I don't want to do want that scripture says we should not do.  Once I read that scripture, it made a lot of sense to me, because of how the Lord uses me to comfort others.

Woman of God, let me just go over a few things with you today.  If you are a Christian, your ministry and testimony about the Lord, begins with you.  Your character and the words that come out of your mouth should be a testimony about who Jesus Christ is in your life.  You cannot bless someone in  the church, then curse someone on your job.  Profanity and a woman of God does not go together.  In my opinion a lady does not use profanity.  If you cannot get your point across to someone without using profanity, then you need to broaden your vocabulary.  Also, the scripture is not only referring to profanity, it also refers to gossipping and lying.  As a Christian, you should try to be very careful of the words that come out of your mouth.  Yes, the tongue is very hard to tame, but it is always better to try your best to please God by following the scriptures (the manuscript for Christian living).

I have read some of your facebook comments/posts.  I have observed that some of you will post a scripture or word of encouragement on your page, then later on in the day, you will post comments that will mess up your testimony that you posted earlier, this should not be.  If you want to bless people that read your facebook comments, then you have to be very careful not to discourage them by posting something that is not godly on your page.  This also destroys your testimony. 

DEALING WITH A LOST OF LOVED ONE

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I thank God for each of you and continue to pray for you daily.  I speak peace and joy upon you my sisters, and may the Lord God bless you with your needs and wants.

(Isaiah 57:1-2), The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.  Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death.

One of the first things some people tend to do when when a family member or friend passes away, is wonder why God did not heal them, or save them from death.  When someone that you love pass away from an illness, you are able to accept it a little better.  When a loved passes away suddenly, maybe an accidental death, or at the hands of someone else, you tend to take the lose a little harder, because it was unexpectedly.

Sometimes even Christians that have totally put their faith in the Lord, might find themselves mad at God because they will miss their loved one.  You might be upset with the Lord because you think that He should have spared your son/daughter, friend or another family member from death.  You don't understand how a God that is full of compassion and love can take away a small child.

Understanding that God is love can help you to understand that God knows everything, and maybe, just maybe He is intent on saving your loved one from a life of turmoil or other tragedies.  Nothing can ever prepare you for the lost of a loved one.  No matter how much faith you have in God.  The most that you can hope for is that your loved one knows Jesus Christ as their Savior.  Knowing Jesus Christ and having total faith in Him, we know that this world is not our home, we are inevitably going to go to our eternal home, which is in heaven.  The bible says, "Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be.  My Father will honor the one who serves me.  If you are grieving the lost of a loved one, try to ponder on the above scripture, I pray that you will receive some comfort.  Think on that scripture when you are missing your loved one and try to smile because of God's promise.  I was very sad when my husband passed away, but I knew that he was resting in the Lord.  My husband was a man of God, therefore I have no reason to doubt that he is with the Lord.  I watched him get sick and suffer in his body, then God said, "that's enough", and called his son home.

In the First Book of Corinthians, the entire fifteenth chapter ministers about the resurrection of Christ, the resurrection of the dead and the resurrection body. I have included some of the verses for you to read, but I urge you to read the chapter in detail when you have the time.  (1 Corinthians 15:42-44), So will it be with the resurrection of the dead.  The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.  If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

I don't like to watch too much local news, because of the stupidity that people do that end up in someones passing away. Parents are still leaving their children in the cars during heat warnings. People are still taking guns to school. Pedophiles are still raping and killing other peoples children. Those things sadden me a lot.  GOD BLESS YOU!

GOD, IT'S ME AGAIN!

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I pray that you are all safe and growing in your spiritual journey with the Lord.  I speak blessings of peace upon you and your families.  My prayer is that you are blessed by the ministry, "Spiritual Growth for Women Ministry".

(Psalms 3:4-5), I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill.   I laid me down and slept; I awakes for the Lord sustained me. (Psalms 4:1,3), Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.  But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.

Woman of God, when you cry out to the Lord God, He already knows your dilemma, He hears your cries and your prayers from heaven.  The heavens are where all your prayers go when you pray with your whole heart and soul.  Pray to the Lord God with everything you have inside of you.  Cry out to the Lord and He will not only hear your prayers, but He is right there with you in your situation.  You need to know that even as you slept, it is God that is sustaining you and His mercy wakes you up in the morning.  If you are righteous before God, God is with you when you feel like you are all alone in the world.  God is with you when you feel like your whole world is crumbling at your very feet.  God feels exactly what you feel, but know this, He with you through the storm and perfecting you for His glory.  I know that the storm may seem too windy at the moment but God is working it out for your good.  The Lord will not let the enemy prevail.  You will triumph through adversities of your life.

The Lord God has set you apart for himself and He hears you way before you call upon Him.  Just imagine Jesus sitting at the right hand of God the Father, and when the storm arises, Jesus quickly whispers in God the Father's ear saying, "she is my daughter, I am interceding on her behalf."  There is no better intercessor on the earth or in the heavens than Jesus Christ himself.  You are very valuable to Christ because you were bought with a price that no one could pay, but Christ.  He paid for you with His blood.  And it is His blood that will sustain you and keep Satan from devouring you.

I do realize that sometimes you may be going through some issues and you don't see God moving on your behalf.  There may be times where you cannot even hear from God and you feel like He has abandoned you, it is during these times that you must praise Him.  If you cannot hear God at the moment, then trust in His Word. 

There have been times that I thought that God was angry at me, because I didn't keep my word, but I was wrong.  Just recently, I did something so terrible and I ask God for forgiveness and told Him that I did not know how to handle a particular situation that I was going through.  I ask the Lord to help me to do better because I know that I did the wrong thing, but I need help to keep me on the right track.  I thought that God would not bless the ministry, because of my shortcoming.  But God reminded me that; it's not about me.  As long as I have a heart to do right, He will be with me and keep His ministry growing through me.

I hope that I was of some help to someone that reads this message today and I pray that you gain strength in your life and peace in your heart.  Keep moving forward, no matter what.  If things are not going in the direction that you want; trust in the Lord that things are going in the direction that He wants.  GOD BLESS YOU! 

YOU WERE CUSTOM MADE

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I love you with the love of the Lord.  I pray for you and your families daily.  I speak blessings of peace upon you and your families.

(Isaiah 44:1-2) Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen; Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.  (Jeremiah 1:4-5) The word of the Lord came to me saying, Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations".

The bible also says, "You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something." 

Sometimes as you are reading your bible, you will realize that God is speaking to a particular person.  There are prophetic messages throughout the bible and God is using their voice to minister to them concerning things to come in the future.  In the above scriptures God is not only speaking to Isaiah or Jeremiah, he is speaking to all that will be reading His Word in the future.

Woman of God, today the Lord wants you to know that you were custom made.  Custom man for His purpose.  Even though, at that particular time God was speaking to Isaiah and Jeremiah, the Word is also for you.  God is saying that you are not an accident.  You may not have been planned by your parents, but you were planned by Him.  Everything about you from the time you were in your mother's womb, to the past and the present, God knew you. Before the earth was formed, God had you in His book to be born.  God knew exactly who your parents would be, what time you would be born and what your nationality would be.  God knows exactly what you are going through right now because you were predestined before the world was in existence.  I have included a poem written by Russell Kelfer.

You are who you are for a reason.  You're part of an intricate plan.  You're a precious and perfect unique design, Called God's special woman.  You look like you look for a reason.  Our God made no mistake.  He knit you together within the womb, You're just what he wanted to make.  The parents you had were the ones he chose, And no matter how you may feel, They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind, And they bear the master's seal.  No, that trauma you faced was not easy. And God wept that it hurt you so; But it was allowed to shape your heart so tat into his likeness you'd grow.  You are who you are for a reason, You've been formed by the Master's rod.  You are who you are, beloved, Because there is a God! 

WOMEN'S DAY EVENT

"STIR UP THE GIFT - PROPHETIC - REVIVAL" to be held, June 6th 2015.

(1 Corinthians 12:7-11), Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.  To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.  All this are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.

So many of you have spiritual gifts that you haven't tapped into and you have asked for spiritual gifts, have received but your doubt keeps you from using your spiritual gift.

Revival - Some of you just need a revival.  You need to awake those spiritual gifts on the inside. Bring them out so that others will be blessed and give their life to Jesus Christ.  You just need to revival your spirit-man. You've just been out of touch for awhile and God is going to open that door back up to you.  GOD BLESS YOU

THE PEACE OF GOD

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I pray that each of you are blessed and highly favored of the Lord on today.  I speak blessings of peace upon your entire household.

(Psalms 55:16-17) As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.  Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.  He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

The book of Psalms was written by King David.  David is known for having a heart for the Lord God.  David knew God and God knew David.  Even though David was not a sinless man, he knew how to go to God to repent.  David sin against God in the most worst way by having a man killed just so that David could marry her.  The most important things that you should remember about David is that he loved the Lord God with all his heart.  He wanted to know God.  He was considered a friend of God's.

Even though there was an army coming against King David he knew that no matter what, God was going to give him victory over his enemies.  David was content on praying morning, noon and night to God and he knew without a doubt that God was with him.  The bible says that God will never leave nor forsake you.

Although you are going through some difficult times in your life right now, the Lord Jesus is with you, He is not a man that He should lie.  If He said it, then you can have faith to believe the word of God.  Although many are against you, Jesus is right there with you.  The army of the things of this world may be crouching at your door, but you have to believe that Jesus Christ is in your home.  He will deliver your soul in peace from all that you are going through in your life right now.  Deliver your soul into peace, means that if you pray to Christ and ask Him, He will give you peace at that very moment. 

When you are going through this Christian walk it can sometimes seem overwhelming and difficult to stay your course.  But with the Lord Jesus on your side, He will give you peace that surpasses all understanding.  This means that as you go through difficult changes in your life, that peace can never be understood by man.  Peace that surpasses all understanding, is when you are going through something so bad, people won't even notice because that don't understand the peace that Christ has given to you.

King David was not a man without sin in his life, but he knew how to go to God and repent.  He spend time with God, praying and worshipping.  You are not without sin either and God is no respecter of persons; this means that all you have to do is pray for forgiveness and you are forgiven right then and there, God doesn't hold it against you and He will still give you peace of mind and victory over your difficult circumstances in your spiritual journey with Him.  Hold on to Christ, because He is holding on to you.  No matter how bad you think you messed up.  God Bless You!
