FAUTLESS IN GOD'S PRESENCE

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I pray that you are all blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ.  I pray for each of you daily, your marriages, relationships, finances, loss of loved ones, children's safety and all your needs and wants.  The Lord knows what you are in need of and I just touch and agree with God for your blessings.

 

(Jude 1:24-25), Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to presents you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, o the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

 

Not that those you have never been fault for anything, but your faults shall not be imputed to your ruin.  If it had not been for God's mercy and a Saviour's merits, you would be found faultless before the eyes of the Lord God.  I like the fact that we can be counted righteous before God if we have a righteous heart.  We will never be perfect, because we were all born sinners, therefore we will always be imperfect people.  But God says that because of the Saviour (Jesus Christ), we can be kept from falling and can be presented to God with joy and not sorrow.

 

God is well aware of all of our faults and shortcoming, yet they will not be held against us if we are truly and sincerely seeking to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.  God knows your heart.  A lot of people say that term but if you use that term "God knows my heart", you better make sure that your heart is pure and that there is no wickedness in your heart.  Although we often say and do the wrong things, when we know them to be wrong that does not make you wicked in your heart.  It makes you human.  Always remember that God is in your corner every step of the way.  The faults that you have had in your past is your past.  You will still be presented faultless when the Lord Jesus Christ comes back in His glory.  Don't let your faults fill you with fear, doubt, or sorrow.  Be of good cheer, if you are sincere, God knows.

 

Don't let people judge you or your behavior because they have not walked in your shoes.  I don't care what they say that they have been through, they still have not walked in your shoes.  Maybe their shoes where going in the same direction, but they were not yours.  I always tell the women of God that I have been through, drug rehab, jail, promiscuous behavior, physical abuse, bad marriages and a lot of other numerous things.  Those issues make me compassionate towards women, but I have not walked in your shoes.  Again have a good heart and keep seeking to do what is right and you will be presented faultless before God, because of the blood that Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One, shed for you.  PRAISE GOD!  AMEN!

ACCEPTING GOD'S MERCY

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I pray that you are all blessed and highly favored of the Lord.  I believe that this is a good message for all of us today.

 

God Mercy!  How do we really accept God's mercy when we feel as if we have really messed things up?  We read our Word everyday, have a prayer life, worship the Lord throughout the day and listen to gospel music all day to keep us close to God.  Not that doing all these things are a sure way to make us better than anyone else, that's not my point.  I am just setting the scene.

 

We attend church on a regular basis and sometimes minister in the pulpit but when things hit home we don't know how to accept God's mercy for ourselves.  We can pray for others but when it comes to ourselves we have no one to encourage us.  We forget everything that we have ministered to others.  We encourage and show compassion to everyone outside of our homes, but we things hit home we don't show compassion to our spouses.  Not that we do these things purposely, it just happens and we don't take a step back to collect our thoughts before we shout out things that we will regret later.  Somehow we forgot to grab scriptures out of our hearts and pull them out to defuse the situation.  The words that come out of our mouth are not pleasing to God and we know it but for some reason we continue in rage.

 

Later on in the day or the next day, we realize how horribly we acted.  We are ashamed of ourselves and feel like God's is looking down on us, shaking His head. We don't know how we are going to pray, minister, encourage or stand in the pulpit after what we have done.  All we can hear are the words that we have said and can visualize the things that we have done.  We have prayed to ask for the Lord's forgiveness but we refuse to forgive ourselves.  We forget about God's mercy.

 

The reason why I know how you might feel after you have done or said something that you know was not pleasing to God is that I have been there.  Not only have I been there but it was as recently as Sunday.  Somehow things just got out of hand and I was not able to bring myself back.  The pain I felt in my heart was unbearable.  I woke up the next morning and could not get in the right frame of mind.  I felt that I could not have the nerve to pray and ask God for anything but forgiveness and mercy.  I laid in the bed all day with the door close feeling like I had just died.  I didn't know what else to do so I turned to a Christian television show and called the number on the screen for prayer.  One thing that I do know is that when you need prayer, you need it now.  The first number that I called was an answering machine and they would get back to me.

 

While on the phone with the prayer warrior, I briefly told her what I was going through.  I never have anyone to pray for me when I am in need so I need prayer.  The woman on the other end of that phone mind as well have been in the same room as myself because she was definitely lead by the Holy Spirit while she prayed for me.  She reminded me of God's mercy and that the bible was full of imperfect people that God used.  She told me not to forget that it is not me that does the work but the Holy Spirit that uses me and to continue on in my ministry because I am a willing vessel.  She prayed that I would search my heart and see if there was any wickedness in me.  I just cried and felt so much relief in my heart.  So here I am today, accepting God's mercy upon my life today. 

 

My sisters in Christ Jesus as long as you are humble when asking for God's forgiveness, accept His mercy.  It's very hard when we feel so horrible, but we have to press pass our own unforgiveness and accept God's mercy.  We are often too hard on ourselves, I want you to remember this, if you don't remember anything else, no one but God, has a heaven or hell to put you in.  PRAISE GOD!

THE SAINT . . . THE SINNER

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God! I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for each of you and I pray that you are blessed by the daily messages and I know that todays message is a timely one for someone.

(Luke 18:9-14), To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.  The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: God, I thank you that I am not like other men, robbers, evildoers, adulterers or even like this tax collector.  I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get. But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, God, have mercy on me, a sinner. I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

 

I had to include the entire parable so that you can grasp the full understanding of today's message.  Do you remember this song?  "We fall down, but we get up . . . for a saint is just a sinners who fell down but got up?"  How does a sinner become a saint in the eyes of the Lord?  How can you fall down so many times and still be a saint in God's eyes?  Once you get up, why does the Lord call you a saint?  Why does He love you so much?

 

If you read the parable closely, Jesus is speaking about people that look down on others and judge them because they think that they are so righteous.  They think that they have never fallen so they are better than you.  The person (Pharisee) stood up and prayed to God saying that he was glad that he never sinned or fallen like other people and he assumed that God loved him more.  The tax collector did not see himself as a saint, he practically begged and pleaded with God to hear his prayers.  He did not even think that he deserved to be in the presence of God.  He begged God to have mercy upon him.  Jesus is saying that the tax collector has a better chance getting into heaven than the man that thought he was all that.

 

As long as you are humble in spirit and recognize your sins, God will exalt you before the people that have talked about you when you were down.  Even your friends that didn't help you when they saw you fall down, but they talk about how good they are and how horrible of a person you are.  God cannot use a person that is not humble in spirit.  God will humble the person that shows no compassion for others and will exalt you right before their eyes.  They will wonder why you are so blessed when you have fallen down so many times. 

 

The reason the Lord blesses you is because you are most likely to be more humble in spirit when you are in prayer because you feel like you don't deserve the love of God.  God can use you as long as when you fall, you keep getting up.  You don't brag about all your accomplishments like the Pharisee, but you will hold your head down feeling the shame of being a sinner.  If you have friends or family members that keep record of all the bad things that you have done in your life; it's time to change the people in your circle.  If you cannot trust them to keep their mouth shut when you confide in them; it's time to change your circle of friends.  If you have people around you that think that their sin don't stink and you are worst than their are; it's time to make a change.  Some people, even your family and friends would rather keep you down by talking about you because they don't want others to see their sins.  You should be happy that you are humble in spirit, rather than God to make you humble.  GIVE GOD THE PRAISE FOR HIS MERCY AND COMPASSION!  AMEN!

 

If you are interested in supporting the women's ministry, please purchase a copy of my book, "Spiritual Growth for Women - Breaking Shackles" at www.amazon.com or www.xlibris.com.  Your support will help me to travel and minister to women in and out of the city.  Thank you.  God bless you.

ARE YOU TOO DIRTY TO PRAY?

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I speak blessings of the fullness of the Holy Spirit upon your life.  I pray that you are all blessed and highly favored of the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

(Psalms 32:1-2), Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven; whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit.

 

There was a time in my life where I thought that I was too dirty and filthy to go to God in prayer. I felt that my sexual sins and my drug abuse had kept me out of the Lord of Christ.  Maybe this has never happened to you or maybe you have not been through what I have, so I will just tell you my story today.  When I was doing so much sin on a day to day basis, there was no way that I would even have the nerve to get on my knees and prayer to God.  Why should I ask for forgiveness for something that I know that I will do again tomorrow?  Why should I ask the Lord for protection, when I know that I will go places and do things that I should not do?  Why would God watch over me, when I am premiscious and on drugs?  These were all of my concerns and the excuses as to why I could not pray. To me, the worst thing about my life was that I knew the Lord, or at least I thought I did.  I knew that He loved me, but I was not aware of the word unconditional.  When I look back over my life and the horrible things that I did, I would not have ever seen myself writing a book or ministering to women to help get them through difficult issues in their lives.  I stole, drank, slept around and did drugs, "too dirty to pray", is what I thought I was at the time. I believed that God was disgusted with me, after all, I sure was.

 

I was ashamed of myself.  Shame is the deep sense that you are unacceptable by friends, family and by God; because of something you did or by something that was done to you.  Even if you were sexually abused that can cause you to be in deep shame.  Shame keeps you from the love of God, because you don't think that you deserved any better.  Shame keeps you from praying to the Lord because of how you feel about yourself, NOT HOW GOD FEELS ABOUT YOU.  Let me say that again so that you will get that down in your spirit, shame keeps you from praying to the Lord because of how you feel about yourself, NOT HOW GOD FEELS ABOUT YOU.

 

Jesus Christ is not a man, He is God-in-the-flesh.  He took all your shame and sin and nailed it on the cross when He died.  The scripture says that your sin is covered and that is because of the blood of the Lamb of God (Jesus Christ).  Your sins are forgiven, and that is because of the blood of the Lamb of God (Jesus Christ).  As long as your spirit is not deceitful before God, you are blessed.  Jesus Christ has always touched the ones in the bible that no one else would.  He cleansed the leper, He didn't  mind when the woman with the issue of blood touch the hem of His garment because of His compassion.  GOD SAYS TO YOU TODAY, GO IN PEACE MY DAUGHTER, YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WHOLE.  PRAISE GOD! AMEN!

SOMETHING TOLD ME . . .

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I pray that you all receive the Lord's message on today.  Keep the faith and stay strong, no matter what it looks like on the outside, God is working on the inside.  God bless you.

 

(Psalms 16:7-8), I will bless the Lord who has counseled me; indeed, my mind instructs me in the night.  I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

 

Have you ever been getting ready to leave the house and something tell you, "take your umbrella?"  You look out the window and see nothing but sunny skies, so you leave the house without your umbrella.  About an hour later the clouds fill the skies with a blacken layer.  It starts to storm and you have to walk at least five minutes to your car.  Then you say to yourself, "something told me to take my umbrella, dag".  That happens a lot to people. I have learned through prayer ministry that it is best to listen to that small still voice that you hear.  If you develop a close relationship with the Lord you can depend on Him to give you guidance in everything that you do.  Everything is important all the way down to what you should wear for the day.  You may want to wear a specific pair of shoes and the Lord tells you to put on another pair.  You really want to wear the first pair, but you are also obedient to the Lord.  You wear the second pair and as you begin to put the first pair back into your closest you notice the the heel coming off and if you would have worn them they would have broken off.  That is how the Lord gives you counsel throughout the day.

 

If you wake up in the morning blessing the Lord, He will give you counsel throughout the day, all you have to do is listen.  If you keep your mind stayed on Jesus; He will instruct you even in the midnight hour.  Just this morning, I woke up with a horrible attitude. I was not upset with my husband, I was upset that my shoulder had been in pain all night and I am going through menopause and was wet all night, I did not sleep well at all.  I had to take a step back and think about the fact that the Lord blessed me with another day.  I did a quick attitude adjustment, read my word and continued to listen to worship music and pray.  I ask the Lord for forgiveness of my attitude and prayed that I would be able to sleep without pain tonight.  That's all I can ask for, and even if I go through the same things tonight, I am determined to wake up with a grateful attitude.

 

The scripture is written by David and he is saying that he has set the Lord before him (meaning that he will not go anywhere without God.  He is not going before the Lord, David is expecting the Lord to go before him and make straightway his path.  He continues on to say that he will keep the Lord by his side so that his faith will not be shaken.  No matter what the enemy throws in front of him, the Lord is before him and on the side of him, he will not fear the enemies thorns.

 

If you set the Lord before you every morning, there is nothing for you to fear.  Your right hand will be lifted up by the Lord and He is also in front of you giving you all of the instructions that you will need for the day.  Remember that the Lord God is continually going before you and is clearing your path to your blessings.  PRAISE GOD! AMEN!

TRIALS LEAD TO TRUST

Hello, Mighty Woman of God!  I speak blessings of the Lord's favor upon your life.  May you walk in the way of the Lord's direction daily.

 

If you could change anything in your life, what would you go back and change?  I have often thought about that question earlier in my ministry.  The thing is that you have to look at the bad with the good.  If I could go back in time and change the fact that I got married when I was 17 years old, then I would no have my son.  If I could go back and change the fact that I was in an abusive relationship for ten years, then I would not have had my lovely daughter.  If I could go back in time to change anything in my past, then I would not have had the trials that have made me stronger.  It is so true that what does not kill us, will make us stronger.  For some reason women seem to have gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to life's issues.  We bare children and because they are ours we will always provide for them.  We somehow make a way for them.  Even if we don't eat, we will make sure that they eat.  It is very rare that a man will leave the home and take the children with him.  It seems like it is a written law, that the children stay with mom.  Not that we mind at all, it's just that no man ever says he will take the children.  He seems to get off scott free.

 

I still say that God has made women much stronger than men.  Because we have to bare and care for our children.  He foreknew everything that we would have to go through.  So I wouldn't want to change anything because then I would not have the knowledge of the Lord that I do have.  Sometimes our trials puts us closer to the Lord.  Your trials will lead you to trusting in the Lord.  It doesn't matter how we get to Him, but we will eventually get there.  Do you ever notice how many women and men are in the church.  It is usually at least 70% more women than men.  We got issues and we know where to go to get some help. 

 

I have heard people use the term,"when one door closes, God will open another door".  Think about this; sometimes the Lord has to close some doors in our lives so that it will keep the enemy out.  Sometimes He closes the door on bad relationships, on abusive relationships, on emotions stress and on people that mean us no good.  He will open another door, if you keep the other one close.  If you keep opening the door that He closes, you will never get to the door that holds all your blessings.

 

Now my point to this is that there is always something that you can think about that will out way the bad.  When you think about something that you have had to go through, think about what good came out of it.  Anytime that you go through something, there is always a blessings waiting on the other side. I love each of you and I pray that the Lord is working on each of you and working out your trials to become trusting in Him.  PRAISE GOD!  AMEN!

 

If you are ever in need of me to pray with you personally, please don't let the enemy keep you from calling me 678-629-3179.
