Who are you, O great mountain ?
Where are you in this point of your life? Have you found yourself in a place you didn’t expect rather if its a place of uncertainty, and/or discouragement? Perhaps you are in the perfect place, but a challenged has presented itself right in front of your progress.
Reading Zechariah 4:6- 7 NKJV
“This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:
‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’
Says the Lord of hosts.
7 ‘Who are you, O great mountain?
Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!
And he shall bring forth the capstone
With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”
Verse 7 stands out and questions the mountain and asks it a very important question. WHO ARE YOU? This speaks greatly to me. We have to remind ourselves and the challenges that we face. “Who it is”? We can’t forget who God is in our lives. That no matter who or what stands against the purpose of God in our life. It doesn’t have authority in our life. It won’t hinder our progress. We have to stand like David against Goliath and say ” WHO ARE YOU”? That you believe that you will have the victory in my life. You will not nor will you ever have what God resides in. God resides in us this is His place; His temple.
O great mountain? We need to know the name, character, and intention of our obstacles. We can’t shy away from it and assume it will disappear. If the great mountain is fear. We have to say to fear you will become nothing, because there is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear…. (1 John 4:18).
Once we look at the mountains in our lives and understand that by the Spirit of the Lord Before ( your name) the mountain will become a plain!
It will now become a place where you can walk across moving into the place that God has ordained.
Look at your great mountain and ask it, “Who are you” ? Remember right before your eyes it will become a plain.
There are many mountains that have stood to long. These mountains are poverty, teenage pregnancy, hunger, and unclean water to name a few. That need to be made plain so that families, communities, children, and teenagers can walk in victory over. We can’t forget that we all can partner with God’s heart and change the world.
The determination of a girl! Response to Girl Rising movie
The determination of a girl to be educated.
Girls should never be hindered, should never be met with the answer “NO” just because of the lack affordability. In order for children to be empowered to reach back and change the community in which they lived in and others they have to be educated.
I have heard people say that families that are in poverty are in the predicament they are in because of their own choices. ” So they need to get themselves out of poverty, and sickness. But, in the bible Jesus models what our response should be. There are many examples, the man laying on a mat by the pool of Bethesda in (John 5:1-15), the 5’000 in (Matt 14:13-21),and Blind Bartimaeus in (Mark 10:46-52). In all these situations Jesus was and still is the answer. Jesus did what He was sent to do. Jesus then taught and empowered the disciples to demonstrate the kingdom of God by being and doing what they were created to do. He created them and us to be “AN ANSWER”. Not a bystander looking and discussing what should and shouldn’t be. Or covering our eyes and ears while others are in despair. I’m so happy Jesus looked my sins, my hurt, and my past face to face and responded by giving His life for my life.
We are created to be answers to those who are waiting for a response from Heaven. When people pray could God response be us? If He does how many lives are waiting for me and for you to obey and walk in our purpose.
We have to chose to be an answer because the answer resides in us. That answer is Christ! Lets position ourselves in prayer seeking God concerning our part in His magnificent plan. In our seeking we will find that God has placed the answer inside of us.

Positioning ourselves as an answer to a prayer….
Picture of Me and My sponsored child/ her father also….
Positioning ourselves as an answer to a prayer….
I have had students say this to me at God’s ministry at Gary Job Corp. That we are an answer to their prayer. Which humbles me every time that God would position me to be an answer. God is so amazing that He hears all the cries of humanity, and answers each one them. Each moment,minute, and second He is answering prayers. But, do we think that we could be what He answers back to someone’s prayer.
What it reminds me of is that it is so important for me to know where God is leading me. To believe in the impossible in my life, to trust in His ability to perform miracles in, around, and through me. It reminds that my journey, destiny, purpose is not just about me. It is always about someone else whether that be a person, community, church, town, city, and/or nation. My story will impact others ! At least that’s God idea..
So one of the words God spoke to me was that He was preparing me for the field. That I would travel; this started in August when I traveled to Kenya. I really saw the work of God in this nation. The most impactful moments of my journey was the realization that God has allowed me to be a part of what He is doing in Kenya. God will do what He is going to do and He will finish it. With or without me, so when He includes me, I am humbled by His ways he has connected me to a nation,a people,a culture of change.
Part of the reason I traveled there was to visit our sponsored child Dinah who we support along with her community. Also, providing clean water for the community through World Vision.
Water …
Can you imagine not having clean water? Not only that , but drinking water you knew would make you and your children sick. This breaks my heart just the thought of walking miles and miles to an unclean source of water then giving it to my child. I know it breaks the heart of God.
We all know that God is evident in all things, active, powerful, working all things according to His perfect will. So I was bless to see His work there.
We know that water is the essential ingredient in life. In Matt Jesus is talking to the Samaritan woman about Him being the Living Water. That what He has she would never thirst again. So Jesus is describing that as long as HE is the source the water will always flow and her thirst will be quenched.
Something we can remember that when we are positioned to be an answer to a prayer. That as long as Jesus is the source from which our resources flow. We will always have something to give to empower others. The flow from our lives will be constant and sustaining for all. We just need to be the vessel from which it flows. I hope that each of us will continue to be lead by the Spirit of God and watch how He works wonders in our lives.
We will impact others throughout our lives and in the process they will impact us!
In love
Ephesians 1:4
4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,
This scripture just resounded to me early this morning. That we should be holy and without blame before Him IN LOVE! IN LOVE!
When we are IN LOVE with our Savior we will do whatever He desires Because Love causes us to do everything! We will re arrange our schedules to make time for the one we are IN LOVE with. We will even change habits that we think are not pleasing for the we LOVE. We will ensure that we connect with the one we LOVE daily. Because our thoughts are constantly wondering what is he or she doing right now. We will ensure that we express our LOVE daily. That’s what being IN LOVE is all about. It’s like a dance that you get lost in because you are in the arms of the one you LOVE.
Jesus talks to the disciples about LOVE he states in John 14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
Also in John 14:21 Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.”
Love and obedience are dependent upon each other. When the two are combined we are then transformed because our obedience is not a matter of duty but of LOVE.
1 John 5:3-For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome.
Its not burdensome because we stand before Him IN LOVE with Him.
In Revelation 2:4- He commends them on many things but the He states 4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first.
LOVE is essential to our relationship with Christ. We are made perfect in LOVE! Even Paul spoke about the importance of LOVE in stating without LOVE we have nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:1-3
New King James Version (NKJV)
The Greatest Gift
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, it profits me nothing.
I encourage you to Fall IN Love with the one who loved you first!

His Mercy
2 Samuel 24:14-David said to Gad, “I am in deep distress. Let us fall into the hands of the LORD, for his mercy is great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men.”
David knew that even in the midst of his sin God still is a God of mercy. That what he would lose, God is well able to restore. Because as he states in Psalm 103:10-He has not dealt with us according to our sins. God is a God of judgment but in HIS JUDGEMENT IS MERCY. Mercy crys out for those who fear the Lord. There must be a conviction of sin, found guilty in order to reap the benefits of forgiveness. As it states in the word in Romans 8:33-35 WHO SHALL BRING A CHARGE AGAINST GOD’S ELECT? IT IS GOD WHO JUSTIFIES. WHO IS HE WHO CONDEMNS ? IT IS CHRIST WHO DIED, AND FURTHERMORE IS ALSO RISEN,WHO IS EVEN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER, WHO ALSO Makes intercession for us.
God ensured that our destinies was not depended upon man, the world nor ourselves. Through Jesus Christ He is positioned as King of our souls the restorer of the breech between us and Our God. Even in the gospel the law holders couldn’t fathom that sins could be forgiven by a mere man. Not realizing that the One they beheld was not mere at all nor was He ordinary. He was, is , and is to come the King of Glory! He is well able to pardon all sins.
He came to restore the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, SO IT IS ON THIS EARTH THAT HE IS KING, HE IS JUDGE, HE IS THE GREAT RULER, HE REIGNS ABOVE ALL THINGS IN THIS EARTH AND IN THE HEAVENS.
He came so that you and I can know that His word is the Last Word concerning this life and yours. So as David did in the midst of his sin. Place YOUR LIFE IN THE HANDS OF A MERCIUL GOD KNOWING THAT YOU WILL BE RESTORED TO ORGINAL DESIGN THAT HE PREDESTINED BEFORE THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH. IN HIS JUDGEMENTS TODAY HIS MERCY IS FOUND AT THE THRONE ALSO.
We can now come boldly to the throne of grace knowing that we can obtain mercy .
Hebrews 4:16-Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
mercy” means “withholding the judgment that one deserves”and “grace” means bestowing favors one does not deserve”.
——————————————————————————–
Psalm 130:4 But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared.
Psalm 130:7 O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption.
Ephesians 3:12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.
Psalm 103:17- But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him and His righteousness to children’s children
The Power of the Word!
God is awesome in His Power and the Power of His word. (Hebrews 1:3)- Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, upholding all things ny the word of His power.
The stars, moon,planets, you and me are positioned by the Word of God. The word uphold all things even you and me. One Word can and has positioned you. One word from God has kept you! The bible states : that God is able to keep me. By the power of His word that stands forever.
Proverbs 6:22- When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you wake, it shall talk with you. The word of God is living and active in your life upholding you in all things.
Thank you Jesus for speaking a powerful word that will never fail. It is still working in my life for my good and His purpose!
The Creator God!
I’m so in awe of God this morning! Reading Genesis chapters 1 and 2 seeing how God created everything. That He knew where to place a river so that it would water the garden that He planted. (Gen 2:10)He planted the first garden so that it and the trees would produce fruit and beauty. What do we have to add to the knowledge of God. (John 1:13) states all things were made through Him. Even you so what is your life that you take any thought of it! God created you will all provisions. The Isrealites wandered for forty years and their shoes nor clothes wore out. So what is your life that you take any thought of it! God has you inscribed in the palms of His hands. Your walls are continually before Him. (Isaiah 49:16)
So what is your life that you take any thought of it. Why worry when the Creator has designed your life from the beginning. He is the Author of your story and the finisher. Take no thought of your life what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body. (Matthew 6:25) God in His majesty has created all things that we see invisible and visible. So fix your eyes on the things that are eternal. The things we see are temporal. Fix your eyes on Me says God; I designed you and fashioned your heart., I breath life into you and you became a living being. You live, move, and have your being. (Acts 17:28) Because God made you a being. You can only be because of Him.
Now praise Him because your needs are already met.Your emotional, physical, mental, all in all. For He is the Great Physician! The Wonderful Counselor! Take no thought for your life. GOD GOT YOU!
Treasured People
Reflecting on Hosea and Gomer’s Story in the bible. Reminds me of God’s Relentless Love for His creation. It speaks greatly about His Faithful character, His unconditional love, and His commitment. When you read the words in the book of Hosea; God speaks about the children of Israel as a wife. He states that they have been unfaithful as Gomer was unfaithful to Hosea. The language that God uses is one of Jealously for His people, because He desires to have us for Himself. To share His treasured people is not an option in God’s eye. Their unfaithfulness not only means a barrier between Him and us, but also eternal death. God knows what the return is for disobedience and rebellion and that is death. We die spiritually and naturally in this life and the one to come. God constantly woo’s/draws His people back to Him with a strong love and passion. With the desire in His mind to return all to Him, and to not lose any. Gomer’s response is a common one today; It’s one of ignorance about her identity, (who she is) her value, (what she is worth) her creator, ( who she belongs to) and what that all means for her life.
I realized that once I grabbed a hold of what God is to me, (My creator, My Father) who I am to Him (His daughter, His treasure) My value(Jesus Christ death and resurrection). It change my life forever! I don’t have to live in shadow of my parents who were addicted to drugs; an abusive earthly father. My past doesn’t define who I am today’ I’m created for God pleasure. I have a purpose and a God destiny. I can make it! Once we realize our value then we can stop running to other things, places, and people. Those things will no longer rule our lives. We will no longer be slaves to unrighteousness. We can walk in totally freedom in God. Walking with all authority over the works of the enemy, overcoming because Christ overcame.
So in response to God relentless love. Respond in repentance, obedience and willingness to follow after Him passionately.
Be Encourage this week and grab a hold of God Amazing Love for you!
May God keep you because He is the only one who can………..

Welcome!
Welcome to my blog!
Acts 17:28- In Him, I live, I move, and I have my being!! I live because God predestined me to be what He has designed me to be. I’m here because I repented and turned from the ways of the world. I walk in the calling because God has called me by name and I answered the call. So whatever He says that is what I believe and live to be. My life is one of abundance because I’m connected to a God who Is alive and not dead. I walk in the full authority and power because I’m seated with Him in heavenly places (Eph 2). You are living because God has called you to! I pray that you have to answered the call and that you are walking in the abundant life God has specifically tailor made for you!! Be Bless and know that His love is unconditional. God loves you !!!
Prophetic Word From God for 2011 !!
For you are fearfully and wonderfully made! (Psalm 139:14)
You may have lost many things,places, and people. I have pruned you greatly and much more than I have before. Why? So that you will not fall in sin,fall away from My very presence! So that you will not deny me before men by living a life that not pleasing to me. As My word states it clearly if you deny me before men I will deny you before my Father. (Matthew 10:33)
You proclaim that you belong to Me. So allow me to fearfully create a vessel that will obey my still small voice. Fearfully create a clean and right spirit with in you.(Psalm 51:10) Fearfully mold and fashioned your mind,your emotions,your thoughts.. See your emotions can deceive you truly by making you feel that I have left you in this time of your life. So even your emotional state needs to be shapen in My Glory. Fearfully place a new heart, this heart will ensure oneness!
(John 17:21) One spirit, One mind, One heart!
I need to take off the old garments in order to place a new one on you. A greater one! You see now you can and will be acceptable to Me.(Romans 12:1) A sweet aroma as I inhabited your praise and worship. These I have fearfully & wonderfully made are the True Wordshippers! (John 4:23)
Just as Jesus was tempted and His very identity was tested. I need to test and try you for this next dimension. It was then that an overflow of my anointing was poured through His life.
Don’t abandon Me for I have not left you. I will rescue you and carry you.
Allow me to show you what I have prepared for those who truly love Me.How do I know you truly Love Me. As stated in My word If you love me obey my commandments. (John 14:15)
I have fearfully and wonderfully made you just to Glorify Me! Your Heavenly Father which is in Heaven. My Kingdom will be establish by those who allow Me the Great Potter to mold them. Is the clay greater that the Potter surely not. As the word states” My ways are so higher than yours, My thoughts Higher than your.(Isa 55:9) Know that I love you!!!
Jeremiah 29:11– For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
I love you with an everlasting Love !! (Jeremiah 31:3)
I knew you, you know me!
These words above I knew you, you know me is the words God spoke into my spirit. Romans 8:29-For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Jeremiah 1:5-Before I formed you in the womb I knewa you,before you were born I set you apart;I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. These scriptures apply to us today! God knew you and He has a destiny for each of our lives. We should no longer live not knowing God, we should not live another day not knowing His will for our lives, and we should live intentionally to give God all the glory! The only way we can and will give God all the glory is by living that predestined life God has for us. In this preordained life no good thing is withheld from us. Nothing that God has for us is withheld. Because it’s for us!! The song comes to mind “What God has for me it is for me”! Our inheritance was released when Christ died on the cross, our authority and power was released when Christ rose from the dead. The comforter (Holy Ghost) was released in the book of Acts for every beliver and to your children and to all who are afar off, as many as our God will call. (Acts 2:39) The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of the Living God; who only speaks what He hears from the Father. So receive your inheritance on this earth, don’t wait ! The reason I said don’t wait is because the older generation believed that they had to wait until they get to heaven to receive what God has for them. They lived below, they lived in poverty, they still lived with a slave mindset; believing that man had all the power to decide how they lived on this earth. My grandmother always talked about heaven and her home that God has prepared. But, she lived held down slaved to the old pattern of the world. God is God in our lives and no man, no person has authority over your destiny. No man knows what God has for you.Pastors may get a glimpse, but God is the owner of your destiny. God’s plans can’t be thwarted by the enemy, and by man. Nothing that has happen will change God’s mind concerning you. But you! Answer the call , and Walk in your destiny knowing that God is the owner!! Praise Jesus!! That means nothing on this earth can stop, hinder what God has for you. God is birthing a new season in our lives and this season won’t end! It will not end!! When you are connected to a living God everything concerning you shall live, prosper, grow, flourish, stand, withstand, unshakable, unmovable !!! Because you are abiding in The Vine Jesus!!
There are no dry moments, drought moments, desert moments! We serve a God who will make a way in the desert, Water in drought, Life when it’s dry. A tree planted by the Hands of God cannot be uprooted by the hands of man! Amen!! I celebrate God who cannot be impeached by man! God will use the foolish things to confound the wise. 1 Corinthians 1:27– But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. Those who people stated will not make it or do anything God will raise us up in these times.Praise Jesus!! Alleluia !! No person can uproot you, no one can take what God has for you! God stands with you!! Thank you Jesus! I’m praising God y’all He is worthy to be praised. We serve a God who cannot lie alleluia !!!
I pray that this Word encourages you and uplift your spirit. I pray that you are reminded that God has a great inheritance for you. Receive it and walk in it in Jesus Name!! God knew you, you know God, God called you and predestined you! We answer the call and walk in our destiny in Jesus Name!
Walk in your Destiny , Walk in your God given identity !!
Having a heart after God’s own heart
Jabez prayer is preach by many. As I read it tonight with a different heart toward souls and God’s will. I read it and received a revelation of the heart of Jabez and the heart that we should have concerning the things of God. The people of God, His creation, their souls, and how we handle the work, our service toward the people.
I Chronicles 4-9 Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.” 10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.
What stood out is Jabez prayed that God would keep him from evil so that he may not cause pain. His mother named him Jabez because she bore him in pain/sorrow. And Jabez heart was that first Lord keep me from evil knowing that a evil heart, with evil intentions that he would cause pain to others and himself. So Lord keep me from evil that I may not cause pain. So God granted his request.
Not becasue he ask for his territory to be enlarge; many pray for wealth, increase with evil intentions or no intentions to Glorify God in their work, home, etc
I believe God granted him his request because his heart was humble before God and he prayed for his ways to be kept by the Lord from evil. Then and only then will he not cause pain.
So I pray that God will keep us from evil that we will not cause pain to His sheep, His creation, His children. To many are needing a word from the Lord and God has called many of us to be humble, to stay humble so that we won’t damage, bruise, wound the sheep. We cry out for your heart God concerning your sheep. There are to many souls in the balance to not stay humble, to not do things the way God reqiures us to do it. So that He will receive all the Glory. People need the hear the truth and be reconciled to God. So that means my will no longer exist. His will!will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I decrease Lord,as you Increase In me.. I die so that you may reign in my life, so that many will come to you through the life I live for you on this earth.
SO Pray that the Lord hand will be with you, that GOD will keep us from evil, that we may not cause pain. And God will grant what we request because this is HIS will for all….That we live upright before Him in love. In Jesus Name AMEN!
A heart for souls! God heart for all souls!
I am so at awe of God that His mind can be change because of one man right standing before Him. Hezekiah prayed for the people that didn’t sanctify themselves as instructed; he ask God to provide an atonement for the people. Scripture states that the Lord listened to Hezekiah and healed the people. (2 Chron. 30:18-20) God will change His mind for His friends, daughters,sons,kings,priest, royal priesthood. Because God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.(2 Peter 3:9) In order for God’s mind to be change for a people, nation, city etc We that people of God have to humble ourselves and seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways. Then I will hear from heaven, and forgive their sin,and heal their land. (2 Chron 7:14). God is looking for some intercessors who desire to have His heart concerning souls.(Every soul) The value of all souls to God took His only begotten Son to provide the final and ultimate atonement for all. Then He gave us the same authority and power to do the will of God on earth as it is in Heaven. I pray to hate wickedness so much to fall on my face daily, hourly that souls will be saved from Hell;a place that wasn’t created for God creation. I pray that I will cry out for my enemies to not die in their sin. That just as God is not willing that no one should perish;I to am not willing that any should perish, but that everyone will repent. I pray that I will have the heart of God concerning His people, His creation to be reconciled to Him. I pray that I will have such a burden for souls that I will change God mind concerning those who have turn to their own ways. I desire your heart God, I desire your will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. I desire to see a manifestation of your Holy Ghost in me then in this City. You God be the God of this City San Marcos Texas. Let your Glory shine greatly to all nations, Let people from all nations, language, culture come to you receiving all that you will for their lives. Join My husband and I as we pray for God’s Glory to fall mightily in our city and yours! Let March be a month of action for the watchmen, intercessors, priest,kings,prophets, apostles, evangelists etc! A greater manifestation of the Holy Spirit gifts operating on all who cry out for more of God.
We need more of God in a time of famine!
More! More! More! Of you God!
Walk Worthy of the Lord!
I pray that this finds you in great joy. If not by the time you finish reading this email I pray that Jesus will give you joy, and that your joy will remain. I wanted to share some woman to woman treasures. As God remind me daily of who I am in Him; I know that he wants me to remind you who you are in Him also. As I sat listening to Perry Stone minister here In Texas. God reminded that not only does He wants us completely cleansed, but also our conscience. The way we think about ourselves and view ourselves should be clear also.
Example: When God states that we are beautiful and made in His image. In Scripture it’s states that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. So that means that God took His time making every part of our being and said that it is good. So when we think about ourselves and look in the mirror we should see a beautiful woman made in the image of a Great God. Any other thought lower than that is not pleasing to Him.
Example 2: My daughters: I ensure that they know that they are beautiful especially when they are dressed and refreshed. When I hear my girls say anything contradicting to what I have spoken over them. I’m greatly displeased and instantly i begin to affirm that they are beautiful and made in God’s image. Letting them know God doesn’t make mistakes.
So God feels the same way with us.. Any moment that we feel separated, empty, loss, ugly, dirty,misused etc. It displeases God greatly! He then begins to affirm what He has spoken over our lives even before we were born. That He loves us, made us, and He has great plans for us. That we
deserve nothing but the best from Him. When we allow God to affirm us; we are then released to walk worthy of Him. And this is pleasing to Him.
I’ll show you in scripture this fact:
Colossians 1:9-That you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding v10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord fully pleasing Him, being fruitfull in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God:v11 strengthen will all might according to His glorious power Amen!
When we walk with our head up, with all confidence that we are worthy of the Lord we are fully pleasing Him.
So I thank God for His truth today for us as woman. i love the Lord and I pray that you to will walk worthy of the Lord In Jesus Name. Remember that He loves you so much and whatever you may feel is making you feel otherwise give it to Him. Allow God to affirm you today.
Blessing to you and yours! Encourage others to get connected to the website and join I will invest in their lives as God gives me wisdom. Others can draw strength from God through woman of God. So lets get connected and get others connected. Thanks for supporting me and the calling God has on my life through this website.

Kingdom Capacity Increase in 2011(Stacy Yerian)
Kingdom Capacity Increase in 2011
He must increase, but I must decrease (John 3:30) NKJV.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end (Isaiah 9:7) NKJV.
Can you feel expansion in your Spirit? It is increase. It is My Kingdom within you. It is My strength within you. Just as My government will increase and have no end, I am causing your capacity to receive the Kingdom to increase in this season. For as I increase in you, My Kingdom will increase around you.
All that has been familiar to you in your identity of who you were in this world will continue to decrease. This is My will for all who have sought the Kingdom and chosen to walk in it on this earth. Rejoice in this, for I am answering your prayers for more of Me. Have you not called out for more of Me? Your true identity in Me will be ever more realized as you relinquish the old and embrace the new.
I have given you the keys to the Kingdom and what I open no man can shut and what I shut no man can open. More doors have closed and more doors have opened. Walk through the open doors of My Kingdom.
Worship will expand and increase among all who have been willing to lay down their lives for Me. An extraordinary sound is now being birthed through the true worshipers and will penetrate the forces of darkness that would oppose My Beloved Bride in this season. This sound is birthed by the Spirit, heard by the Spirit and received by the Spirit. This sound will not be recorded on earth but it is resounding in the heavens. This worship will not be defiled by vain glory and ambitions of men. This sound will be rejected by the religious spirit but do not fear for this zeal in worship will be backed by the power of My Kingdom and will lay bare the schemes of the enemy.
Liberty bells have been ringing. Have you heard them? Announcing freedom to the captives, for where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty and in this place of liberty, My glory shall be revealed. But do not look to find My liberty within the boxes and boundaries of your buildings or familiar surroundings. I am speaking of the liberty that comes from within a people who know their God. Wherever they go, so I will be with them and in them, and together, we will release many captives.
The seven fold Spirit of the Lord, particularly, the fear of the Lord in increasing and you will see it firmly established in My Bride in the coming season.
So become as little children and embrace and receive by faith the increase of My Kingdom within You.

Isaiah 9:1-7
Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed,
As when at first he lightly esteemed
The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
And afterward more heavily oppressed her;
By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,
In Galilee of the Gentiles.
The people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light;
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,
Upon them a light has shined.
You have multiplied the nation
And increased its joy;
They rejoice before You
According to the joy of harvest,
As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
For You have broken the yoke of his burden
And the staff of his shoulder,
The rod of his oppressor,
As in the day of Midian
For every warrior’s sandal from the noisy battle,
And garments rolled in blood,
Will be used for burning and fuel of fire.
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom.
To order and establish it with judgment and justice
from that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
I do not know a man!
When the Angel spoke to Mary about this great birth that was gong to occur in her belly. She stated she didn’t know a man. God told me last night that we just think about Joseph and her intimacy. But, Mary didn’t know a man that would place such a Great King in her belly. God stated she didn’t know Him (God) because God is not a man! Alleuia! He is not a man! So Mary was stating I don’t know a man! We have to be intimate with God who is not a man. When we allow the Holy Spirit to overshadow us, that’s when birth occurs. When we spend quailty time with a our Great God who is not a man. We have no choice, but to birth Greatness. Because He is not a man! The Samaritan women knew many men to the point they were considered her husbands. The Samaritan women still didn’t know a man! Not like God who dwell with us..
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His Glory, the glory of the begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
When we are intimate with God we have no choice, but to come out with His Glory. See where His Glory is death has to go, sickness can’t stay, the depression cloud has to pass because the Glory Cloud is overshadowing us. Alleuia!
So if you don’t know a man as Mary states. He wasn’t a man, nor was ordinary, no he wasn’t what the Scribes thought. He is so much Greater! He didn’t come to save the government; He came to cover the sins of the world. Thank you Jesus!
He was welcome in on a donkey. But, His kingdom is so much greater than you and me. Thank you Jesus. He sits on the right hand of the Father far above all principality, and power and might, and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which to come.And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. Ephesians 1:20-22
Not only that but He seated us together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:6
We are now seated with Him Far above all principality, and power and might, and dominion and every name that is named.
We are in positon with Greatness and we have all authority and all power through Christ. I love Him!!!
So if you don’t know a man.. get to know God today; He isn’t a man that He should lie. He is not like any other… I praise you this morning for your Word!
Friend of God
Good Morning Ladies,
God has reminded me that we are not slaves but friends of God. Because slaves don’t know what the Master is doing.
Friends knows everything even the hidden secrets of God heart. See Moses was a friend of God to the point that he was able to change God’s mind concerning the people . Abraham was able to negotiate with God concerning Sodom and Gomorrah. This is friend status ! So God wants me to remind you this morning that you are His friend and he will not hide His plans from you. He will give you a spirit of revelation, spirit of wisdom in this time and season. Your eyes will be enlightened; you will see things so much clearer. He will speak to you in dreams and visions. This is the time of the outpouring of His Spirit upon all flesh . Be Encourage Friend of God and remember that He will do exceedingly and abundantly above all you can ask or think….
Blessings Pastor Lora Williams
A Time of Love……
| Ezekial 16:6-8
6 “And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ Yes, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ 7 I made you thrive like a plant in the field; and you grew, matured, and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed, your hair grew, but you were naked and bare. 8 “When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine,” says the Lord GOD. A time of love-This is a season of newness! This is your time ! This is your season! Receive God’s Love watch Him Prophesy to those dead situation; Watch your life resurrect before your eyes! God is restoring the years you have sown in tears!! Receive this time of love….. |

You can’t Rush Me, Push Me! Out of His Presence
God is desiring those true worshipers in this time and season to rise up! To worship Him in spirit and truth. These women will be like the woman with the alabaster box she didn’t care about who saw her.Who was in the the house all she know that her Savior, her King, The one who wipe every tear away, The one who will affirm her identity. You see I’m sure she didn’t know why she saved this precious alabaster box. But, she gave all, her all, the very worth she pour on Jesus feet wouldn’t account for His abilities to transform her life completely. We have to understand that God requires our very life to be sacrificed to Him daily.Realized that what God has in return will always be exceeding and abundantly than what we can, ever ask, think, or see. That’s the God we serve!
So Don’t Rush me! out of His presence Don’t Push me! From His feet. We have to be like the woman the issue of blood she push through the crowd. She pushed,pressed, she was weak but the knowledge of Jesus became her strength to touch the hem of His garment and receive Wholeness. Every part of her being was whole. Wholeness is what God wants for us. No part un-touch by His power and love.
We have to be like blind bartimaeus who cried out for Jesus to have mercy on him. Son of David have mercy on me! Son of David have mercy on me! As the haters tell you to hush begin to cry out even louder to our Savior who hears your cries! Jesus will deliver you! Heal you, Set you free!
People we have to get tried of where we are and pursue Christ with passion for wholeness and communion with Him.
Don’t let your circumstances, situations, family,friends, etc rush you or push you out of the presence of the Most High God.
Bible reading:
Luke 8:41: And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: 42: For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him. 43: And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, 44: Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. 45: And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 46: And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. 47: And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediately. 48: And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
Mark 10:46
“Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging.”
Who knows how many years was Bartimaeus blind. Most probably all his life. For all his life without any visual contact with the environment, he was sitting there, by the road, begging. For sure, he must have heard what Jesus did to other blind men and how they received their sight. Really, how much he must have longed to be one of those that would meet Him. And he was:
Mark 10:47
“And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, HE BEGAN TO CRY OUT AND SAY, “JESUS, SON OF DAVID, HAVE MERCY ON ME!””
Mark 10:48
“Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out ALL THE MORE, “Son of David, have mercy on me!””
Matthew 26:6-13
6While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, 7a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
8When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. 9“This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.”
10Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 11The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. 12When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. 13I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
To Wait,ToWatch, His Wonder
I’m learning that acknowledging God in all my ways and He will direct my path.(Proverbs 3:5-6) Truly means to make my requests known to God. To Wait,Watch,His Wonder! God’s word has truly given us the answers to all our problems if we would just sit and watch. Be Still and know that He is God.(Psalm 46:10) Sit in His presence and wait patiently at His feet for Divine Direction. He wants to not only ask,seek,& knock.(Matthew7:7) He wants us to allow Him to lead our every foot step. In order for our feet to walk with dominion,authority,&power in every place, situation, and circumstance. We need to hear what Thus saith the Lord. In the book Acts Peter,Paul,Silas etc were truly led by the Spirit of God. Knowing that their lives belong solely to Him and not themselves. I have to encourage you in that place of intimacy with God. There is so much peace,safety,comfort,shelter & Love. This place is truly that Secret place mention in Psalm 91. Realize that when you are in His shadow that you are in a place that cannot be shaken by this world,people,and situations.Know that God is always above and greater than all that we go through.That He is our shield(Psalm 84:9), our defender({Psalm 94:22), He is an Almighty God!
So while you waiting;continue in His Presence,continue to spend time with Him with each day He gives. Each day He gives is time allotted for you to love Him and Him to love you.Be comforted in the fact that God desires to have you all of you! Allow His desire to keep you,love you ,and have you for Himself drive you to Him. Allow Him to wipe your tears away, to speak into your spiritual ears about His love for you. I encourage you to: To Wait,To Watch, His wonder in you.
My prayer for you:
In Jesus name I pray first God to tell you that I love you, I adore you, I lift your name up high. You are Great a Mighty God,The Great I am, Alpha and Omega, You are the God of more than enough,Wonderful Counselor, Father of my soul. I praise you today! For this is your day. SO receive the Glory and Honor today. I pray that you are filled with joy as I pray to you, talk to you My Savior, My King, My Everything! I pray that your children will seek you with all their heart,soul,and mind.That everyday they will be reminded of your Love in everyday life. For you are always watching over us. I pray that we will enter in Your Presence and stay there in the Name of Jesus. I plead the blood of Jesus over each person’s life who read this post. I pray that you will continue to transform their lives in Jesus name. I thank you Jesus for your great Love for us.
Allow Jesus to carry you
This poem is my story Jesus carried me through most of my life. I have had sometimes when I feel he placed me down and allowed me to walk beside Him. To see things from a different point of view but, I like the higher view because when I’m seeing things from God’s point of view. It reminds me and reassures me that at those moments he is carrying me. The storms,circumstances,situations,everything that occurs on this earth in this life;just issues in itself. Rather than me stating Father let me down I want to walk as a lot of us do.
Especially when we think we got everything figured out. I noticed that those times when I thought I had life figured out. I was stressed,full of worry and fret.I was trying to maintain my life, and was making a mess of it even with good intentions.When I allow Him to carry me,by tuning my spiritual ear to His Spirit and direction.Life is right, peaceful,all my cares didn’t matter anymore because he cares for me. I don’t have to be concerned for tomorrow because tomorrow will take care of itself. I seek the kingdom and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto me. I learn not to care about anything concerning my life because he cares for me. For His yoke is easy and His burden is light! He carries me and I choose to allow Him to continue to carry me. I encourage you allow Him to carry you!
One night I had a dream–
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
one belonged to me and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it.
“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way,
but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
“I don’t understand why in times when I needed you most,
you should leave me.”
The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never, never leave you
during your times of trial and suffering.
“When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you.”
…Mary Stevenson
Fearfully & Wonderfully made!
For you are fearfully and wonderfully made! (Psalm 139:14)
You may have lost many things,places, and people. I have pruned you greatly and much more than I have before. Why? So that you will not fall in sin,fall away from My very presence! So that you will not deny me before men by living a life that not pleasing to me. As My word states it clearly if you deny me before men I will deny you before my Father. (Matthew 10:33)
You proclaim that you belong to Me. So allow me to fearfully create a vessel that will obey my still small voice. Fearfully create a clean and right spirit with in you.(Psalm 51:10) Fearfully mold and fashioned your mind,your emotions,your thoughts.. See your emotions can deceive you truly by making you feel that I have left you in this time of your life. So even your emotional state needs to be shapen in My Glory. Fearfully place a new heart, this heart will ensure oneness!
(John 17:21) One spirit, One mind, One heart!
I need to take off the old garments in order to place a new one on you. A greater one! You see now you can and will be acceptable to Me.(Romans 12:1) A sweet aroma as I inhabited your praise and worship. These I have fearfully & wonderfully made are the True Wordshippers! (John 4:23)
Just as Jesus was tempted and His very identity was tested. I need to test and try you for this next dimension. It was then that an overflow of my anointing was poured through His life.
Don’t abandon Me for I have not left you. I will rescue you and carry you.
Allow me to show you what I have prepared for those who truly love Me.How do I know you truly Love Me. As stated in My word If you love me obey my commandments. (John 14:15)
I have fearfully and wonderfully made you just to Glorify Me! Your Heavenly Father which is in Heaven. My Kingdom will be establish by those who allow Me the Great Potter to mold them. Is the clay greater that the Potter surely not. As the word states” My ways are so higher than yours, My thoughts Higher than your.(Isa 55:9) Know that I love you!!!
Jeremiah 29:11– For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
I love you with an everlasting Love !! (Jeremiah 31:3)
His Presence
Totally abandon..
How may I more and more abandon myself from any earthly, human fellowship, until I am absolutely so bound to God that God has a right away to the throne of my heart, until the seat of affection is blessedly purified,until there is no more room for anything except the Son of God, who is the Author and Finisher of faith. Then Christ will be manifested in your flesh, destroying everything that is outside of Him.Quote from:Smith Wiggesworth
Based on the statement above can we say we are totally , or wholly following after God.We cloud our lives with relationships that literally separates us from the very presence of our Holy Father. And we accept these moments of separation according scripture to only time we should be absent only through death or rapture. And this absence is from the body only.
( To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord) 2 Corin.5:8
Adam and Eve ran away from the presence of God and became afraid.
When sin enterend and sin was evident. So think on these times when you are not at peace with folks,family etc. When you are stress out! realize that you are stress out of the very presence of God. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. ( 2Corin 3:17)
Are you bound by something? Are you dealing with sinful people? Is your frustation and anger there because you have allowed them to move you from His presence. He resides in peace, in love, in joy, in happiness, in self control He is made manifested.
When we have no peace God is not there.
He is the Prince of Peace! Isa 9:6
When there is worry and fret God is not there!
(1 Sam 1:6; Psalm 37:1; Matthew 6:25-34; Heb 11:1 & Heb 11:6)
Without faith it is impossible to please God!
When there is lack. God is not there!
Those that those walk uprightly word states we should lack no good thing.
(Psalms 84:11)
When there is illness.
By His stripes you are healed. (Isa 53:5)
When you are imprisioned / held captive God is not there!
He came to set the captives free. Isa 61:1
The statement that God is in our lives should show evidence of His Presence!
So what is around you, in you, among you that
moves you from His Awesome presence! Will you continue to allow your enemy to steal, kill and destroy you?(John 10:10)
Steal your joy.;because the joy of the Lord is our strength.
Weak people can’t resist the devil,
Weak people cannot war against the flesh
once he is able to weaken us God’s vessel he is able to waste what is in that vessel.
Anything and anyone that remove you from His Presence is your and His enemy.
So what fellowship does light have with darkness?
You create the atomphere! You remove/ disconnect from those things and people! Stop expecting God to move ungodly people from you! He told you to disconnect. Show God how much you desire to wholly follow after him in full obedience. He speaks to those who has His Spirit, those who are moved by His Spirit belong to Him, children of disobedience cannot, will not hear His voice. Those who have rebelled will not hear the voice of Truth speak.
hear what is being said concerning our walk with God! He desires and requires us to walk wholly with Him all in all. No gap!!
I pray that you take heed
Chicktime & Men of Promise in San Marcos
Chicktime San Marcos has been making an impact at Central “Texas Children Home in Buda Texas in the 2010 year. Chicktime is an non-profit organization registered 501c3. The purpose of this organization is to give back to those who are less fortunate. The homeless, abused, neglected, disadvantage, those who need an extra hand. Many scriptures in the bible reminds us of our duty as believers to help those who are in need. Many practice religion, but don’t live what God’s defines as True Religion according to the word.
James 1:27- Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
So our service as a servant of God is to live and do exaltly what James 1:27 states as True Religion.
Chicktime San Marcos serve at this children home every other month. We are always wanting more volunteers. More Chicks to join and we also have Men of Promise for the young men at this facility. You can also make a tax deductible donation all proceeds go towards Chicktime projects. We also have Chicktime gear available for purchase.

Week 1: January 19, 2010

When the enemy comes to bring disturbance in Your World, REJOICE. Why because that means the Set Apart Spirit in You and through you has brought a disturbance in His World. If you are reproached for the Name of Messiah, you are blessed, because the Spirit of esteem and of Elohim rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is praised. ( Apostle Janet L. Newell)
Blessed is the man who is persecuted for my name sake for his is the kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 5: 10
A lot of times we get so focus on what someone says, and does to get us upset. We begin to instantly think about how we feel and why it’s all an injustice!! Why are they treating me this way? Why do they have an attitude? Why didn’t they speak? I know they heard me say “hello, good morning”. What’s the deal? (As they say in LA)
We have to remember it’s not about you!
It’s about HIM!! His Will, His Purpose, and His Way. Many are called but few are chosen.
So remember if a sinless, humble, carpenter, builder, servant, Savior, Creator, Healer, Redeemer, The Way, The Truth, and The Life, Rose of Sharon, I am that I am, Deliver……………………
Was mock, crucified, beaten, spat on, curse at, set up and betrayed so much and more. How much shall we experience just being a forgiven follower of Christ? How much?
We need to remember when Christ our Wonderful Savior was going through. He didn’t allow nothing to stop him! Death couldn’t hold him, His enemies couldn’t overtake Him!!!! The gates of hell could not prevail against Him.
So Greater is He that is in you then he that is in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be encouraged…..
My sister a MIGHTY GOD IS INSIDE OF YOU!!!!!
Matthew 5 chapter
The Beginning of the Sermon on the Mount
5And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him: 2 and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
The Beatitudes
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God. 10 Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye when [men] shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.
Prayer for you SISTERS:
I want to thank you Jesus for who you are. You are faithful, loving, and an awesome God. I exalt your holy name there is none like you. You are my Healer, Counselor, Peace, Encourager, and my Savior. I thank you Jesus!!
I pray for each and every woman who has received email. I pray that you will remind them that you are with them always. Through all things you are in the midst of it all. Give each woman peace that passes all understanding in Jesus name. I pray for each woman to receive fresh strength, and renew their minds through Christ Jesus.
Any lies, hurtful words that have been spoken against them. I pray that each word would be cancelled in Jesus Name.
I pray that each woman will receive and accept your view of who they are. Surround them with others who will uplift and encourage them everyday. I thank you Jesus that you are faithful and every word I’m praying right now is evident today in their lives.
L.D.W. I hope this devotional blessed you today. If so forward it to another SISTER who may need uplifting today. Let me know your thoughts about it/ feedback. God Bless!!

PSALMS 73:25
WHOM HAVE I IN HEAVEN BUT YOU? AND BESIDES YOU, I DESIRE NOTHING ON EARTH.
Doors
Then finally, we find the open door and walk right into our blessing.
“Lord how could this happen to me?”
My sister email this to me.I thought it was encouraging. What doors have God open or close in your life?
The Outlook Of The Church
God’s Fire…………
Sunday morning coming from work I was worshipping God and praying.
And the word Fire just continually coming into my heart.
I begin to ponder what is God telling me?
So I begin to study the significance of fire.
Fire-is as a symbol of God’s presence and power ( Gen 15:17-18)
Fire was kept burning continuously on the altars where burnt offerings were sacrificed.(Lev 6;13)
The consumption of the offering by the flame assured the acceptance.
Fire-was God way to guide His people. God spoke to Moses in the burning bush experience and called him to lead the children of Israel out Egyptian bondage.
The piller of fire from heaven to guide the m throught their travels.
Fire is God’s agent to purify,and illuminate.
SO MY NEW YEAR’S PRAYER :
I PRAY FOR GOD’S HOLY FIRE TO BE EVIDENT IN MY LIFE. GOD’S FIRE SYMBOLIZES GOD’S PRESENCE AND POWER IN MY LIFE.THAT GOD’S FIRE WILL CONSUME ME DAILY (DO AWAY WITH ME) THAT HE WILL TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL. GOD’S FIRE WILL GUIDE, PURIFY ME AND ILLUMINATE TRUTH IN MY LIFE….
In Jesus name…..

I hope your thanksgiving is Great..
I refuse !
I refuse to allow these four walls to confine me within it parameters
I refuse to be limited within the 24 hours of the day
I refuse to be locked away into your ideology concerning my path
I refuse to be crushed in this 8 to 5
Hear me there is more in me then you can see
Within my own mind there are no boundaries
No restraints
You will no longer silence me my voice is bigger, larger, greater than the finger that stand against me.
Hear me my mind has already given me permission to live beyond your boundaries
Within a world of statistical failures I am one less
I am the one that decided to break the mold
The one that looks like the one you said would never make it,
The one who could never take the punches that has been thrown at her
I am a women created, fashioned, molded after an image that even back then started controversy
Yes His very image started an uproar should I be surprised that you too go about seeking to devour me
By your lies and deceitfulness concerning my purpose
That I should sit and bow down to the eyes that ae lifted against me.
No I stand in the midst of it all
Trust me I see above it all that I will walk above it all
Never to be held back by the naysayers
Yes me surprise it’s me who speak with clarity, and authority that you will never stop me from following and obtaining my dreams.
Positioning Yourself for God’s Dwelling
For many are called, but few are chosen. Chosen to be set aside for the Masters use. A vessel of honor not dishonor, a prize possession, a treasured people,peculiar, a royal priesthood. (1 Peter 2:9-Rev 1:6)These chosen few are justified (Rom 8:33) They are sanctified and set aside for Him alone. They are chosen to be a sacrifice unto God.(Rom 12:1) present your bodies as a living sacrifice holy, acceptable to God which is our reasonable service. The few are a sweet aroma unto God. They minister to God through fasting and prayer.(Acts 13:2) These are the few that stand for something so much greater than themselves an Almighty God. They are establishing heaven on earth. They break the rules of tradition, and follow the command of God. They are lovers of Christ willing to give all. Losing themselves at all cost because they are bought with a price.(1 Corin 6:20) So their minds are made up to live for Him who died for them. These few have the power of the Most High; constantly birthing greatness.
Intimacy with the Father is how they live, move, and have their being.(Acts 17:28) They thrive and are alive In Him. God is the source of their strength;they will not move without His leading. They are the ones who truly walk with God, and talk with Him daily. These few are the only few who have learned and have been ushered into this place of secrecy. The secret place is only secret to those who have no desire to be intimate with the Father. The few have positioned themselves for God’s dwelling where His name will be there forever, God’s eyes, and God’s heart will be there perpetually. (2 Chron 7:16)
Position yourselves for God’s dwelling……………….
