The Beautiful Pain

Image
The Beautiful Pain Living a righteous life can be very painful. So intense at times, losing friends that you thought was your, Gayle, as she is to Oprah, finances fluctuate, your mind changes for the best but at the time seems so confused, as you're going against the concepts of the world. It can be lonely and weird at times. However, my friend, this is what you call the pruning and edifying stages of your walk. How you respond will promote or bring you back to the same process again. We serve a compassionate growing God who loves evolution. He wants us to evolve into the masterpiece he created us to be. We all should understand this process of pruning isn't comfortable in fact, many will say it hurts.  Just as we exercise it is not comfortable but we endure looking forward to the results of looking lean, tone, and fine. That is the whole concept of the pain we endure as we grow as Christians. Often times we scream and cry in church Lord use me and Lord I trust you with ...

Kill Em With The Praise!

Kill Em With The Praise Listen I know it is so hard being a Christian you have the devil and his minions after you and the world and it's carefree ways to resists but count it all on the joy that you don't succumb to your environment. Thank God that you know the secrets of the kingdom and you know the outcome for yourself and others. You know that God gives you strength and power and you live a peaceful life no matter the circumstances. To be honest the world wishes they had the inner strength and power you have to be standing in your right state of mind with peace and forgiveness in your heart. You know why? You mastered the art of praising in the storms and praising him in the good times. Praising unlocks the doors and faith releases the manifestations. You're not troubled in rough seasons you know God will do just what he said he will. You go through the motions and keep your feet grounded on the word of God. The devil hates the praise, in fact, he creates the hav...

Thank You Jesus!

Image
Thank You, Jesus! I am screaming from the bottom of my lungs thank you, Jesus. Nothing or no one will take my praise from me. The enemy is working overtime to take my praise. Lord knows I am going through it but the thing is I am reminded that I am going through it and not staying in it. I will never let obstacles stop my praise. My love for God is unconditional as it is not based on what he is and isn't doing for me. I know he unconditionally loved on me a sinner and graced me to get it right. He patiently waited for me to get my mind together and I am patiently waiting for him to break all generational and attacks from the enemy. He is my refuge!  God has created everything in the world, the universe belongs to him. There is no need to fret when things seem to be going crazy. I am reminded of the scripture when Jesus said they were going to the other side and they got in the boat. The disciples and Jesus, he fell asleep and a storm arose. The disciples started to...

Waiting On The Lord

Image
Waiting On The Lord I hear so many people preach, teach, and say to wait on the Lord. How it will always benefit us and will lead us to God's perfect plan for our lives. To be honest, it is the truth, it is the best thing we can do in our walk with God. After all, If you say you're a Christian then you should be walking with God and waiting on God. When things aren't adding up and there is absolutely no peace it is because you're not in the will of God. When moving ahead of God or on your own path it will always lead to destruction, havoc, and no rest.  You see no matter how bad a situation looks when waiting on the Lord, there will always be a sense of peace attached to it. You don't have things figured out but you have enough trust and hope in God to rest and wait on him. Peace will forever be a distinction of being in God's will. No matter the situation there will always be rest and a sense of peace. In fact, the easiest way to know that the devil has ...

Everyone Needs Prayer

Everyone Needs Prayer Today for me is a push day. I feel under the weather and I am very emotional today, which can be very dangerous if you're not properly grounded in the word of God. As we all know emotions can lead us into destruction if we're not mindful. I have so much going on in my mind. At the same time protecting my mind from all the garbage that satan and my flesh can come up with. I am making sure that I don't get caught up in the things that will discourage me all at the same time encouraging myself. You see the truth is it is a forever battle but I know the anointing will cost me some things. The crushing is inevitable when you're connected to God. The scripture says it best, " too much is given much is required." (Luke 12:48 NKJV But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they wi...

My Mind On My Promise

Image
My Mind On My Promise I don't even know where to begin on this topic, for me exposure is everything. I really believe that when God allows you to be exposed to certain things he is trying to make you aware of what is to come. The thing is the enemy and our stinking thinking turns exposure into comparison or jealousy, missing the whole picture of the promises that God is trying to render to us. We somehow start thinking negative about our situation and feel defeated instead of inspired. God is not a respect of persons or shows favoritism. He honors those who honor him and he loves a person filled with faith. In fact, the bible says it is impossible to please God without faith. (Hebrews 11:6 But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. NKJV) Wow, so that's a promise that when believing God he will reward you for believing him and seeking him. Remember thi...

Push Yourself To Get Up!

Image
Push Yourself To Get Up! Often, when trauma and tragedy arrive in our lives we want to crawl up in a shell and give up. We feel like we just can't take no more and want no more out of life. I know all to well about taking losses between the loss of my husband and my youngest sister being shot in the head on this exact day last year. Yesterday, I cried so hard thinking about everything that I couldn't contain myself. I literally just finally let it all out. As, I was crying, I kept thinking to myself you will get through this. You will be hurt yes, but you will have the strength to keep fighting this thing called life. I thought about all the times that God carried me through and I kept thanking him because I know I wouldn't be standing if it wasn't for him. No one knows why certain people are called back to him what we think is so soon. The one thing I do know is I have to make my mark while I am here. I have to leave a legacy. We all have an expiration date but w...
