Pressing On!

-

I believe what my pastor continually speaks about in 2017, about how the enemy is doing everything he can to keep God's people tired, exhausted, bogged down, depressed... as the enemy's time shortens he works overtime. But, for those who are truly saved and looking for God it will soon be over. I feel the tug in the air when it comes to the tug-a-war that goes on between the enemy's angels and God's angels over people's souls. I can feel it in my Spirit and though it leaves me drained, I continue to trust GOD thru this all. 2016, I faced and fought one of the greatest spiritual battles of my life, but I made it thru stronger and God shaped me up so that I am now truly ready for His return. In the end, I learned how to keep my mouth shut & pray thru false accusations, thru being set up, and to forgive others who didn't apologize and weren't even sorry. I fully realized what Jesus went thru on His way to the cross and on the cross. Even thru not feeling physically well and being in bed or home alot the last couple of weeks, missing some church services, it doesn't mean I am pulling away from the Lord. In fact, it is the complete opposite. I draw closer to Him as I have this personal one on one time with Him; He gives me strength to keep going. I have a lot of time to listen to God these days. There is a serious warning of the Lord's return and just like the days of Noah when people didn't want to believe him, so are the days we are living in. The ark doors are fixing to be shut, the chair around the Lord's table is about to no longer be vacant. The Holy Spirit is grieved for those who are spiritually blinded to their own sins, for those who believe satan's lie that there is still plenty of time, for those who think they are ready to go yet they aren't, for those who don't take these warnings seriously. Someone(s) who reads this isn't ready and tomorrow may not come for you, or you may face something later this week that will direct you back to this post. God is real. The Lord's return is real. Heaven is real. Hell is real. Give your heart and life to the Lord. Return to Him. Ask Him to search your heart before it is too late. This isn't about denomination, it's about destination. The greatest disappointment will be arriving, expecting Heaven but ending up in hell; a disappointment that will last all eternity. Oh, how my spirit is grieved this day!!

Reconnect and Reset!

8.21.2022 - 8.24.2022 • A "reconnect and reset trip" to the Great Smoky Mountains with my dear friend of 10 years, Susan. We haven't got to visit and see each other in a long while. We talk over the phone some. In 2012, we met while attending the same church, and connected instantly. We've held each other up in prayer, encouraged each other in the Lord, cried and laughed together, and worshipped together, as sisters in Christ should. We belly laughed so much on our vacation until we were hurting and seeing stars. We were planning to rest more, but we decided to pack in the fun while the Lord gave us the opportunity to do so together and memories sure were made. We prayed for God to pave the way and He did. He gave us favor with the traffic, favor with my vehicle, favor in keeping us safe from harm (we know how dangerous it can be for two women to travel alone, but with God you are never alone), favor with His band of Holy Angels all around us, ...

Why A Blog Titled: "Becoming Better Women"?

Back around the last week of October 2017, I had a dream about the acronym "BBW" standing for something profound! I was standing in a room full of women, some I knew and some I had never seen before in my life and I looked down at a piece of paper and it said in bold cursive writing, BBW =  "Becoming Better Women" . There were women of all shapes and sizes in this room, different ages and races, showing different emotions. Nothing was said in the dream but when I woke up I didn't forget about it. In fact, a couple of days later I text myself those three words, becoming better women. Not yet knowing what to do with it, what it meant exactly, but feeling very strongly the Lord gave it to me for a reason! I had no idea that a week later, after having this dream, I would end up in the hospital for what seemed to be the longest and most challenging 7 days of my life! Throughout my time in the hospital, "Becoming Better Women" would go through my mind. Aroun...

We Prepare for Battle in Prayer!

-
Read Ephesians 6:10-18 The armor of God is vital to Christian belivers when it comes to our prayer life, overcoming spiritual warfare, and overcoming a lukewarm lifestyle. We can learn to become crucified in Christ so that the flesh part of us can resist the enemy's lies and temptations to sin. We can become transformed into a new person in Christ and no longer be enslaved to our old habits and sinful nature and attitude. We have daily choices to live accordingly to God's righteous standards and deny sin. We we choose God's desires for our life instead of sins, we crucify our flesh. Sin is only pleasurable for a season, and then it will turn on you like an unknown allergic reaction to a favorite food you ate. We prepare for battle when we suit up daily with the armor of God.  ---------- ARMOR of God and its PURPOSE: Belt of Truth - backbone of the word  Breastplate of Righteousness - protects is from satan's fiery darts, lies, temptation Feet Preparation of the Gospel o...
