Striving To Be "Christ-Like"!

Not all spirits from satanic realms are blatant and obvious in their evil purposes and plans to steal the spirit and souls of God’s people. Some spirits come upon us when we begin to allow our feelings, emotions, and guilt to make us think we need to always help people in need or in a crisis. That it is our job to make provisions and ensure every need in their life is met financially, physically, and spiritually. See, satan’s plan and goal is to provide as much hindrances, oppositions, and discouraging situations to make us give up on believing in our prosperity and abundant life that Jesus died and rose from the dead for. (see John 10:10) The enemy will use people, circumstances, and situations to get us distracted and drained in doing what God has called us to do. We can be so bogged down with the cares of this world and the cares of other people that our spirits become burdened with many things. The problem with this is that some people create situations that can cause t...

My worship to the ONE who deserves it all, is what gets me through it all. I am not ashamed... I am not afraid... I will not be silent for I worship the Lord in spirit and truth. I worship in thankfulness for everything God has done for me and continues to do for me. I worship Him for joy of the salvation, deliverance, healing, mercy, grace, and love He bestows upon me. I worship in sincerity and with passion. I worship with anticipation and expectation that it will lead others to worship. I worship in hopes of others being saved, delivered, and healed. I worship to prepare for spiritual warfare. I worship with emotion an excitement knowing that God is my shield and defense and He fights my battles. I worship in prayer and fasting. I worship with the desire to see the church experience a spiritual awakening. I worship with the desire of wanting more of the Holy Spirit not less. I worship wanting to see more of the Gifts of the Spirit functioning and operating in our Church. "Oh Lo...

I have been thinking a lot about my Aunt Emmer (my great Aunt Emma who was also like a grandmother too.) The month of February was not only her birthday but the month she passed away. I keep hearing some words shared at her funeral by one of the pastors... that when my Aunt Emmer led song services at church, it was simpler times of worship, but those times brought a great move of the Holy Ghost, times when people went with an expectation for miracles and healings and to hear a word from the Lord. I do know it will never be like those days of old, but I am thankful to be a part of a church that doesn't seek to entertain but to disciple, where hymns from long ago, can still be sung, and where there is liberty for the Holy Spirit to move, and where there is still a word from the Lord that goes forth with power and victory. A church that will help encourage you and build you up to make it through the week. It is not about numbers as far as attendance, as much as it is about salvation...

God’s main purpose for our existence is to reflect the glory of Jesus Christ. God gave us life so that with our bodies, minds, and hearts we might draw attention to Jesus and make Him look as great as He really is. This purpose for our existence does not change at death. It is the purpose of our dying and the purpose of our living after death, in Heaven for eternity. For the Christian, eternal life has already begun and will not be interrupted by death or judgment. Jesus taught this when he said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life” (John 5:24). Already, by faith in Christ, our judgment is past and our death is past. Death is no longer death for those who are in Christ. The essence of what made it death has changed. What has changed? “The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the vic...

When discussing the rapture, what might seem simple to others was powerful to me when the Holy Spirit revealed this to me a few years ago. I could hear the Lord saying, you know it is a lot like the game of hide and seek. I seek out the lost before they even start seeking Me, but all they want to do is hide, and then one day it is going to be ready or not here I come? when the trumpet sounds... when the rapture takes place. I am thankful to know today that I am ready.I pray that you are too! You can message me through the contact form, on the left hand side of the blog home page, if you need prayer or have questions about salvation.

I am well aware of my character flaws (stay with me, because I am going somewhere with this to make a valid point). Maybe I have posted too many selfies on social media, posted about lots of new material items I have, and I can see how others may think that I am vain? I know that I am spoiled (I am the baby of the family). My attitude and mouth can still be my landmines and weak areas in my life that gets me in trouble from time to time, but I do believe I have grown so much. I continue to learn to stay in the spirit and keep silent towards others and certain people. It takes no effort to walk in the flesh, but much effort to walk in the spirit; push yourself to walk in the spirit daily as you crucify the flesh (die daily to your flesh). In April 2018, I will be 34 years old, and I am still way too sarcastic about some things, I talk too loud, laugh too loud, I am not a morning person, and I am usually not perky before noon. After being hurt and betrayed, used or taken advantage of mor...

In my prayer time today... America needs revival! The church needs revival! I am believing God for revival! God help this Nation! The country is walking in the flesh, because it has not learned to yet walk in the spirit. It takes no effort to walk in the flesh, that is why we see such a huge spiritual laziness across the  church at large. The spirit of rebellion, compromise, confusion, intimidation, bitterness, backbiting, jealousy and envy, is all over including in the churches. I’m taking my God Sword =(God’s Word) and cutting the cords of these spirits and calling forth and declaring the spirits of reconciliation, restoration, repentance, revelation, and release (the spirits that bring forth salvation, healing, and deliverance, and unity in Christ.) It takes no effort whatsoever to walk in the flesh, again that is the problem; we make an effort to be good at everything else, except walking in the spirit. Paul commands us in the Bible to crucify the flesh, stating tha...

Ministering for the Lord is a precious job, and though I have been blessed in my life to minister in about every area you could think of, knowing no job is too big or too small, when it comes to God, I don't think anything is more precious to me than the one-on-one ministry. These messages that I get from time to time allows me to give thanks and praise back to God for using me for His glory. It is my heart's desire to continually be His hands and feet, His mouthpiece, His willing vessel, and to know when I am not accepted to shake the dust from my feet and move on to the next person(s) who need encouragment. Ministry is a full time job to me, and it is only natural to feel as if I should be doing more for the Lord. But I praise Him for the confirmation He allowed me to receive through a social media friend's message I consider facebook as one of my biggest ministry tools, and I don't take it lightly. It is never about me, it is about God getting the glory and honor He ...

People can easily spend an hour on social media accounta but after only a few minutes around the altar at church, they are ready to leave. We may be into microwaving but God is into marinating.  “They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength”… (Isaiah 40:31).  Some churches have completely removed altar calls and invitations, while others put altar call on a 3-5 minute time frame. In churches today, working to create the guest friendly short service may have cost us the lost art of waiting on God.  The great work that has been done by the Holy Spirit while the saints waited on God around the altar is immeasurable. How can we expect God to alter our lives and our situations if we don’t spend time at the altar?!

So thankful God led me to the word about the cost of the anointing and the word on the Holy Remnant. The anointing will not come for those who are spiritually lazy; there is a cost that comes in which there are suffering of consequences and you are misunderstood on all sides, but the Holy Remnant God is rising up in these last days will be small in number. Why small? Because it will be those who continually seek God's face, study His word, those willing to suffer for Him, those who desire to walk in God's spirit and truth, those who want to live holy and sanctified, those who refuse to compromise and conform to the world. Oh, God will pour an even greater anointing on you, and He will speak to you and through you, He will use you in ministry, He will push the enemy and those he uses aside and rise up His Holy Remnant but not without a cost! Below are the two youtube links to these messages as shared by David Wilkerson. The Cost of the Anointing: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u...
