Power in a woman
There is vested gifts that God has placed in a woman.
A strength among many other things that they sometimes never recognize that they have.
They fail to take the time to meditate on their life, realize how far they have come from the dark places and get into a place of gratefulness.
If they truly knew, that there really is a cape under their clothing, they would walk with a greater posture through any and all situations.
Yes, the cape may get tattered here and there, but as long as there's some material left? It can be patched with some different pieces from the parts of life that you never thought you'd make it out of.
If you aren't secure in your power, or can't comprehend fully that you have power? Until you do, make sure you get around and STAY around (that's part of the key) women who acknowledge and understand their power.
They can help you rise up from the ashes of a battered life, stand strong and help you patch up your cape.
So that you get to the day where you will stand on your own in the power that God gave you, pass on the knowledge of the vested gifts and help another woman know the power within her.

I know you don't
I know you don't post for likes but I know you're peeking.
You don't post videos for the amount of views but I know you're checking that count too.
Come on be real, everybody at some point in their life looked for acceptance, sometimes not in the right places.
Gauge what you do through him and you can't go wrong.
He is the only one you should look to for your approval.
God almighty from up above!
The end result to everything you do will be an impact for the good of God's Kingdom or the shame of it.
Check with him first to confirm, than move with careful consideration from there.
I know you don't want to disappoint him, so again I say look to him.

Don't be part of the majority
How do you sit still in the quiet moments?
How do know not to say anything at all, at the right moment?
Just like knowing when to speak at the right moment.
Most people desire wisdom but do we know when wisdom desires
to speak?
Majority of people desire not to be looked upon as a fool but do not know when to not rattle so at the tongue.
Majority of people want everything they know to be known and desire to be known.
Majority of people don't know there comes a maturing when you learn to listen to wisdom, when wisdom says speak or don't speak.
Majority of people don't know that the more you hold your tongue, you'll gain more wisdom from sight of hearing (paying attention to what is around you and what is being said).
Listen and heed wisdom's voice and you'll walk through this life with a hand up, instead of being told to be quiet and sit down.
The truth of the matter is don't be a part of the majority.

Flesh stinks
it is dead and dead things after awhile will rot.
So stay near me so as I can keep you walking in my spirit, seeing through my spirit and hearing through my spirit.
Without my spirit you will not make it.
Your outside may look & feel to be going through but my spirit will sustain the part that needs to be kept. Your mind & soul.
Walk in the power of my will & might. Walk in the discerning of good & evil and you shall avoid contamination. Endure to the end. Don't lose heart for many shall fall spiritually and naturally. Your treasures are not here on the Earth but in the new Heaven. Enjoy what I give but hold loosely, as to not allow devastation undo you.

There comes a Time
There comes a Time
There comes a time when you have to face life head on.
There comes a time that you have to take a stand and face it with no one else around.
There comes a time when you must take full responsibility for everything, even what happened to you.
There comes a time when you must decide how to respond to what happened or implode and slowly whither away on the inside, out.
There comes a time when you have to come to the conclusion that no matter what you do and who you talk to, God is the author and finisher of all that you are going through.
There comes a time to realize that out of your adversity will come the glory of God.

Lacking Spiritual Focus
Lacking Spiritual Focus steals our inherited Joy
I am noticing around me that the lack of spiritual focus is causing many believers, unnecessary stress.
Not just the lack of focus but the lack of understanding of spiritual matters.
The condition of this world or the behavior of people, can stress out even the strongest believer.
Lacking focus on the Lord spiritually, can throw everything else off in our lives. Quoting scripture versus actually believing what we read and living it, makes us easy targets for the thief.
If we have the wrong perception of what is happening around us, it can cause is to have faulty thinking.
We can spend countless hours, rehashing out every dissatisfaction in life, family dynamics and the world in general.
When we do this, we cause ourselves to give up the one thing we unintentionally give up, our joy.
We just hand it right over to the thief. He doesn't have to steal it any more. Sad thing is, we know better but don't take heed to what we know, and jump head first into the trap we set for our own selves.
Than there's times we are so caught up that we don't know we are doing it because we can't see it happen.
Yet, when we realize we aren't feeling it (joyful) any longer, it may be to late. Refocus on the right thing, on the things of the Lord.
Hold tight to your joy.

No Matter What
No Matter What
If as a believer you truly believe the Word of God and prophetic accounts of the word of God. Than we know that events in our Nation must happen, regardless of how we feel about the current activities within the U.S. Presidential elections and its candidates. Their moral and ethical stance is tarnished at best. The old saying that politicians lie, goes across the board.
If we believe that God's will shall be done, the votes will give the outcome of WHO God will, to be in office. In the midst of ALL of this, our adversary lies back and waits to take full advantage of the division elections bring. Satan knows that as believers in Christ we exhibit the complete opposite of a Kingdom unified. Our people fail for the lack of knowledge, and that knowledge is missing due to the lack of connection, understanding and revelation through the Holy Spirit on local, national and Global matters. So no matter what happens, if we don't develop the type of relationship with the true and living God, that will give us access to the mysteries of God, we will always have a misplaced alliance with and for the things in and of this world and the people in it. Including those in our Government. Although, Government is of God, the people that run our Government and sit in high places has proven in many occasions are not. We are in dire need of a close relationship and strong prayer life to make the wise choice regarding the matter of this election. Above everything we "think" , Gods ways and thoughts are higher than ours. Until the end come, we know for certain the thing to do which we can ALL participate in, and that is to pray that we may live in peace.
Thy will be done thy kingdom come

So Much to Say
Two blogs in one day, I didn't plan it that way. There has been so much going on and I didn't know if I would comment on any of it.
Well here goes...my perception.
Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter measures out to be the same thing depending on who you are talking to. BML, is an attempt to bring attention to the disparaging differences in the treatment of black men, women and children, involved in lawful or unlawful acts versus the treatment of Caucasian men, women and children involved in lawful or unlawful acts. ALM, is an attempt to 1. negate what the truthful purpose of BML is about (see above) 2. is an attempt to discredit said cause by saying that BML is excluding that other lives of different cultures are just as important, which any sound minded person would know it is not the root of BML. Either group should not be viewed with blanketed derogatory remarks just because of the behavior or remarks of a few. Yet, and still supporters behind both do just that, spit divisive statements towards the other.
Although we know that division has been the reigning theme in this Nation since its inception.
Even God tells us to choose sides...choose ye this day whom you will serve.
It will always be 2 sides. Just know which side you are on.
The coverage of the murders by the police, and I say coverage because it has been happening for years but with digital age now it is seen up close and personal, is all leading to a higher agenda. An attempt to create a great unrest in the Nation to produce a reason to bring on and have the citizens on board with martial law. Many will willingly go along with whatever is televised through the media, just the way the people that sit in high places like it.
There is many signs that we can see with the naked eye that death is waiting all around us. There is many signs that show us the decline of a Nation, it is following death with no care that that is the direction it is headed, as long as we can do what we want to do on the way with no guilt. We were a Nation that was once with great pride in living with moral conviction but now the moral compass is no longer being followed, today it has completely been tossed away.

Family struggle
Family Struggle
It is difficult to want so much for someone you love.
Seeing them live a life with little to no quality of life.
Anything you say or do can not change them
What makes it worse is when they don't even realize their behavior shows that they could care less. They lost self control a long time ago.
Living a life with pain and sickness was not what God ordained for us.
Yes, life will happen and these things will come but he never wanted it to happen
to us by the work of our own hands.
Unfortunately, the introduction of sin and living outside of God's will brought pain, devastation and eventually death.
Stubborness in our Family members, this is where it stems from, it is a result of sin.
There is nothing we can really do but pray that God's will be done.
With the liberty of their free will, there is nothing we can do.
God gives them a choice to obey and walk in a life of freedom, peace, undo stress, strain and sickness within our bodies or do what you want when you want and face the consequences of those actions. You will reap what you sow.
Think, eat and live clean according to the way he desires us to do and at least you will know that if down the line something happens, you lived the way God desired you to and it wasn't anything you caused upon yourself.
Until your family struggle is no more, just know that it will cause you to grow. To gain a compassion because at the end of the day, it could have been you.

Look a Little Further
Look a Little Further
Sometime you feel as though there is something missing.
Something deep on the inside is pushing you
Look a little further.
What is it that you are missing?
Is it someting to what they say?
That you will seem to wonder through life
searching here and searching there
Until you seek and find what your passion, your purpose, your work is here.
Look a little further.
I promise when you find the truth of what your purpose is, it will change everything.
You be exilirated through and through, no matter how tired you are, once you get a taste of it. Working in the essence of where you are supposed to be.
You won't want to do or pursue anything else.
If you look a little further you will find that which God put in you.

I Saw A Man
I Saw A Man
Today I saw a man, a man which no one knows his story.
A man who has the word try in his eyes.
A man who's trying to make it and is attempting to do and be the best in his own way, especially in his Families eyes
A man who says, "I want to be the best dad and best provider for my family."
A man that will do what most won't do to survive.
His children may see the things that Dads sometimes do, and want to turn their eyes away in shame.
If they only knew, that
Daddy always tries and his heart is true.

I Miss You
I Miss You
You've gotten so busy, where have you been? I barely hear from you since you've started that job, your new business, kids sport practice, School, and that Ministry.
Can I ask, where do you have time to fit me in? Will you make the time? Can you at least pencil me in?
I know you like your spare time, your weekends or your nights ALL to yourself. I've heard you say it all the time, "I've worked hard all week I've got to get my me time."
Than when you have the time, you say you are lonely, bored, and nothing to do. Or you are still empty, when you are through doing you.
I thought you said you were a part of me and I am a part of you.
I guess I am the neglected part. So when you have those feelings, yes, THOSE feelings. Sadness, loneliness, boredom, no passion or purpose etc. You have separated yourself from me, maybe not intentionally, but you have left me.
I know when you give me a lot of quick chats and read my word for a quick moment, you thought that was enough to get us by. Or when you are in trouble and you marathon pray for a day would make up for lost time.
It doesn't. Imagine if you are in a relationship and someone says they love you but they barely ever talked to you. Or they only show interest when they felt like it, which isn't often or ONLY when they needed something. How would YOU feel? Doesn't feel good, right? Feel neglected? Yea, me too.
When you search and find the end of you, you'll find me.

Grace Awakening
Grace Awakening
Oh Men and Women of Zion, oh Men and Women of Jerusalem
Awake out of your sleep
The hour of bewitching is here
Whilst you sleep all hours through the night
The adversary, your accuser which is the devil, he is here
He has sent His forces to visit you in the middle of the night, when we were called to be watchmen
God has commanded you to
Awake and Rise up and sanctify your dwelling place & pray
Command every appetite that has control of you, to now loose you in Jesus name
Command every thought and idea to line up with the Spirit of the living God
Command every word that shall part from your lips to be sweet and righteous
Command every habit and DISCIPLine to submit to and for the Kingdom of God, the betterment of you and your family in Jesus name
Every action, reaction and response to be in line with the Spirit of the Living God
Every household and member in it shall recognize, acknowledge and obey the Spirit of the Living God.
Every mind be set free according to the resurrection power of Christ Jesus.
Our Spirit man is strengthened by Christ power and might.
We have power of a bold and sound mind in the love of Jesus Christ.
Wisdom and obedience is our weapon, prayer is the key to unlocking the mysteries of God.
Tradition keeps order and remembrance of where we come from, yet the grace of God allows the movement in freedom
Step out of the box
Grace Awakening becomes the norm and you shall know the Spirit of the Lord when you hear and see him.
Obey him in the Grace Awakening

Hidden
Today I found something I had written a year ago and since I am stepping out of my comfort zone I figured I'd share some past, along with current writings.
Hidden
Sometimes you are not being ignored or left alone, you are not being forgotten or people not helping you.
You are being hidden by God.
When a butterfly is forming, it's hidden in a cocoon.
When life is forming it's hidden in a womb.
When God is taking you from the old man to a new creature/wo/man in Christ.
You are being hidden.
Hidden for the great reveal

No Condemnation
No Condemnation
Until today I thought I knew what that actually meant.
Meaning, yes we have been told that negative things the enemy, Satan, will try to bring up in our face, things like guilt, shame, hurt and defeat. Feelings that will make our journey in Christ extremely difficult and can actually cause you to go into a deep depression. Some go as far as being overwhelmed by those feelings so much so, that they will take their own life. As a sidenote, suicide is a subject not discussed enough within the body of Christ along with several other things but that is not what we are talking about today.
Romans 8:1 says There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
So when those "feelings and thoughts" come, we have to speak out the truth of Christ and remind ourselves that those words DO NOT describe us any longer.
Now I was thinking, what if we choose not to do the right thing, regarding a situation or towards a person? What we should feel as believers is not condemnation what we should feel is conviction.
Our conviction comes from the Holy Spirit's presence in us, guiding us and telling us, "Now you know you should have done the right thing, you should be treating them better or you should know that is your responsibility." Because it is from God's spirit, when we acknowledge it, it will not have a damaging affect on us. Unlike feeling condemned, feeling condemned will wear us down and wear us out to the point of death.
When the Lord convicts us, it is a way he let us know 1. That he wants to help us live right, so we can reap the full benefits of being a joint-heir to the Kingdom of God 2. He is not to far away that we can't get in a place to hear him or feel his unction 3. It reminds us that he loves us (he chastens those he loves) actually, this should be number 1 but I just put it down the way it came to me.
How did I get on this subject today anyway?
I was thinking, what if someone is not in the Lord, they didn't say yes to him and do not have a heart to serve him. I thought, why would someone pick and choose to do the "right thing" towards some people and not others? Why would they spend money all over the place and not even feel bothered by the fact that they were shirking off their responsibilities, ON PURPOSE? Case point, the issues with absent Fathers and Mothers which abandon their kids. I just couldn't understand it. Was it just a character issue, a choice, do they ever even think about it? All of a sudden it hit me, they don't have that moral guide, they are just floating along picking and choosing whatever and whenever. Yet, because they are created in his image, he will lead them but the ignoring part may come easier to some than to others, depending on the dynamics of their upbringing and their manner of thinking.
They may feel guilty at times but what does that matter if they can just brush it off and never feel as though they should make right. Than again, Titus chapter 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
This reminds me that we have all been there before, that is until, Titus chapter 3:4-7 (take time to read it) stepped in, when we said YES to the Lord being Lord over our lives.
Does it allow for excuse from these behaviors? No, but it gives some clarity, at least for me and doesn't leave room in my heart to hold people to their behavior/acts or the lack thereof and causing me to be weighed down negatively. The more I write the more I think, sooo this leads to the question of, what about those that DID say yes to him and behave the same way, like they have no conviction? We will visit that another day, otherwise this will end up being the longest blog in history. Or will it? I wouldn't know because I am just getting started. Lol
Remember: He is not to far away that we can't get to a place to feel him or feel his unction. A good place to be by the way.
No Condemnation
Until today I thought I knew what that actually meant.
Meaning, yes we have been told that negative things the enemy, Satan, will try to bring up in our face, things like guilt, shame, hurt and defeat. Feelings that will make our journey in Christ extremely difficult and can actually cause you to go into a deep depression. Some go as far as being overwhelmed by those feelings so much so, that they will take their own life. As a sidenote, suicide is a subject not discussed enough within the body of Christ along with several other things but that is not what we are talking about today.
Romans 8:1 says There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
So when those "feelings and thoughts" come, we have to speak out the truth of Christ and remind ourselves that those words DO NOT describe us any longer.
Now I was thinking, what if we choose not to do the right thing, regarding a situation or towards a person? What we should feel as believers is not condemnation what we should feel is conviction.
Our conviction comes from the Holy Spirit's presence in us, guiding us and telling us, "Now you know you should have done the right thing, you should be treating them better or you should know that is your responsibility." Because it is from God's spirit, when we acknowledge it, it will not have a damaging affect on us. Unlike feeling condemned, feeling condemned will wear us down and wear us out to the point of death.
When the Lord convicts us, it is a way he let us know 1. That he wants to help us live right, so we can reap the full benefits of being a joint-heir to the Kingdom of God 2. He is not to far away that we can't get in a place to hear him or feel his unction 3. It reminds us that he loves us (he chastens those he loves) actually, this should be number 1 but I just put it down the way it came to me.

In Pursuit
In Pursuit
In pursuit of a deeper place in God
I began to speak and ask the Lord to empty me again. Let me not be seen.
Trying to hear clear again.
It is not like he wasn't speaking to me but there was a distance, a lack of clearness.
Why? Less praying, less studying, less seeking?
I could see it even in my living space. A jumbled mess it was becoming.
Busyness is not the culprit, lack of managing time spent with him I would attribute.
In pursuit
Whenever God is leading me into a place, he ALWAYS leave clues, subtle hints if you will.
Well, this particular time he lead me to a book called, "Invisible Worshipper" by David Bunion.
I have never wept the way I had, after reading a book, besides God's holy word.
Things that have been plaguing my heart for some time, about the routines of usas believers within the body of Christ.
This book touched on what we have been missing and why the Families are torn into pieces and leaking over into the Churches.
Worship, the real pursuit of God and his presence.
When we lessen, he increases and the supernatural move of God can come into our temple, homes, and our Congregations.
Just for one of his children, will God bend his ear but what about all of his children.
Mountains will surely move, minds and bodies will surely be healed and doors to demonic influence/holds will be shut.
Why? Because in pursuit of his presence, we will no longer want to stay the same and when we repent, it will truly be a real turn away from sin.
To think this all started from a question.
Why don't we see as many of God's supernatural healings/miracles any more?
