Striving To Be "Christ-Like"!

"Kimberly, you've already been ministering and you'll continue to minister. Don't be concerned about where you've been, where you are, or where you're going because you've ministered before you got there, you've ministered on the way there, and you'll minister when you get there. I will open more doors for you than you can imagine. You are my pulpit. I will use you mightily. I will speak through you. I will minister through you. I will protect your anointing as I lead you into a greater anointing. Keep being obedient to me and you'll be greatly blessed, highly favored, and prosper in everything you do saith the Lord of Hosts". Isaiah 43:19 KJV "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?" *I'm thankful for a word directly from the Lord and for that perfect peace I feel. If you are in the center of God's will, nothing else matters. This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice a...

God's presence is forever in my life. That is what He is reminding me of this week, despite the enemy's schemes and attacks, He is continually taking care of me this side of glory until He calls me home, how our conditions are only temporary on this earth. Today is a day where I appreciated the sun shining, the birds chirping, the clouds in the blue sky, my parents beside me, a loving church where I can freely worship God in spirit and in truth, and those precious reminders that I am not alone! Some people did not wake up today, some people have nothing, some people have no one to hug their neck or tell them that they love them, some people woke up hungry today, some people woke up without a roof over their head today, some people woke up with everything destroyed by storms last night, some people do not have doctors or cannot afford to go to doctors and have to continue to be sick with conditions where I have been made well. Oh, Lord I thank You for the reminder today of just ...

First, if you are battling serious depression with thoughts of suicide, don't be afraid to dial 911 for help, and please use the contact form on the left hand side of my home blog page and let me know so that I can talk to you and pray with and encourage you that it is okay to seek help. STRUGGLING WITHIN OURSELVES IS OK BUT QUITTING IS NOT AN OPTION. GOD DOESN'T WANT YOU TO GIVE UP AND NEITHER DO I. THE DEVIL IS THE ONE WHO WANTS YOU TO QUIT. {THE DEVIL COMES ONLY TO KILL, STEAL, AND DESTROY. BUT JESUS COMES TO GIVE YOU LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY.} That is scripture straight out of God's Holy Word. After, spending seven days back the first week of November 2017, in the hopsital for my treatment of depression, God has helped me so much. He's continued to bring much peace and healing into my life. You are not alone nor did you come across this blog by accident. This was a divine intervention and direction from God. He loves and cares for you and so do I. I am being personal w...

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the  earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.”(Isaiah 55:8-9) He sees what we don't. God does not think the way we think. He does not handle situations the way we think they should be handled, because He knows what's best. In the middle of your circumstance ask yourself, am I looking at this through God’s eyes (my physical eyes or my spiritual eyes)? God sees the whole picture: the beginning, middle, and end. Our view is limited to what happened in the past and what we see right this moment. Our trust and faith must be in God. I'm so glad God sees what we don't, that He is continually working behind the scenes on our behalf to mold bad things into something good. (Romans 8:28) Link to song, "He sees what we don't" https://youtu.be/1Rcp1swM_7g

Yes, as a Christian, I live in this world, but I don't have to yield to this world, instead I choose to yield to the Holy Spirit as He leads me to the Word of God everyday, the music that lifts up the name of Jesus, and to church where I continue growing in the Lord this side of glory. It's all about yielding to the Lord and His Holy Spirit and participating in things that uplift Him and bring Him Glory, not things dominated by satan and sin.  ...for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Matthew 12:34 .... Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Colossians 3:2. This world isn't getting any better, the news isn't getting any better, but we have to look up and know it will be worth it all when we see Jesus face to face. Don't conform to the world, but conform to the WORD. Praise God for His Holy Word, for those words in scripture lead me, guide me, direct me, sustain me, comfort me, encourage me, challenge me, protect me, heal me....the ...

What the Lord has taught me and delivered me from, and I am so thankful He does NOT give up on us... go with the option on the right, in the picture below. My prayer is Lord continue to help me NOT to be a part of negativity, a back biter, gossiper, or a fault finder! Help me to always sincerely pray for the offender, pray for deliverance of others, and show them grace and mercy and compassion just as You show me! Help me to always be an encouragement to others... the Lord spoke to me and said "if only people found it as easy to talk to me about issues as they do others, how different churches and our lives would be"!

God expects us to grow up, God expects us to move forward... from the spiritual milk to the spiritual meat. I have to continually submit to God in learning to share His plan. Oh, this world has seen enough of me, so do not look to me (or anyone else) as a savior but look to Jesus as THE Savior. I do not want the world to see me, I want them to see the SOMEBODY living inside of me. God has shown me through Romans Chapter 6-8 how to move from condemnation [oppression] into freedom [victory], and you get from one point to the next one through the Word of God [Bible]. Jesus accomplished freedom on the cross of Calvary! You have got to walk in the wisdom and knowledge of what Jesus Christ did for us, not just on the cross, but on the way to cross. That is where freedom lies!

Most days the Lord allows me to see the time 9:11 on the clock... somewhere, someway whether it is am or pm or both. This has been going on for a few years now. Not only do I quote Psalm 91:1, but it is also a daily reminder of God's hand of protection on my life. Psalm 91 is a powerful chapter to read for protection and to destroy every harmful attempt the enemy throws your way. And angels go before us to guide and protect us in time of trouble.

I have been blessed to see many sunsets in my life thus far, which is almost 34 years... in different states... at the beach.... on a cruise ship, in Mexico...from a mountaintop... in my own backyard... driving down the road but this one yesterday was different.. it felt different... it looked different...it is like I could see the power and presence of the Holy Spirit pouring out over this county I call home... God showing His beauty of being completely in control of every situation great and small... God having the ability to turn something ugly into something beautiful... I needed peace over something... I didn't have it before seeing this beautiful sunset...then the peace came! I am so thankful that God can turn everything around and show His glory! I was looking for Jesus to be standing on those clouds, when I saw that there was a split between them. All I could think about were the lyrics to the southern gospel song, "I believe He's coming back"... "in the ...

When I truly learned what living sanctified (set apart from the world, living Holy unto God) meant and that it is an ongoing, daily process... I no longer have a desire to go to the same places, listen to the same music, talk the same, watch the same movies or shows on TV. You learn that if a relationship or friendship is breaking you spiritually you have to cut ties, equally if a habit is effecting you spiritually pray to be delivered from it and those worldly strongholds.
