Do not dwell on the hornets nest of satan!

I do not have to finish going through life wondering if I am going to make it to Heaven, wondering if I am going to be used of God, wondering if my flaws are going to break me, and wondering if I am going to be alone? My place in Heaven is secure through my salvation in Jesus Christ. I started being used of God the day I got saved, the grace and mercy of God, and Jesus and the Holy Spirit living inside my heart and soul helps me grow from those flaws, and He promises me in His word He would never leave me nor forsake me. The daily news is full of riot videos and murders, fights about lifestyles, earthquakes, political debates, and storms where people are missing, dead or houses/businesses are destroyed, wild fires, etc. Bad news in which I realize, we as Christians need to come together collectively and pray for our nation, our families, our church, and do everything we can to witness and lead people to Jesus Christ before He returns for us. Time is short. We are not the problem solvers, talking about may not help or change things, but praying about it to the PROBLEM SOLVER sure will turn it around. Things change everyday but God never changes, for He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The Holy Spirit whipped me in the sense of worrying over nonsense this week. Why worry when we are not even guaranteed tomorrow? When the Lord comes back for me, I want to be dwelling on Him not the hornets nest the enemy is stirring up. As long as I am IN the will of the Lord, that is all that matters. My focus is going back to HIM where it belongs, no longer getting caught up in the conversation of the enemy or the world that does nothing but hinder me and distract my mind. It is time to dig my heels in as the Lord helps me push through roadblocks, opposition, fear, anxiety, doubt, intimidation, jealousy, envy, pain, and strife. If you are saved yet do not have the desire to be about the Father's business, it is time to get down on your knees and pray. *repost

But God!

For the doctors who said I'd never make it.... For those in school who said I'd never make it... For college professors who said I'd never make it... For those in the work place who said I'd never make... For previous bosses who said I'd never make it... For those in previous churches who said I'd never make it.... For friendships that didn't work out and they said I'd never make it... For the lying enemy who said I'd never make it... But God.♡ I am looking towards the future with hope and a fresh vision for year 34. The devil set out to kill me last year, but God reached down and saved me. He intervened once more. Through facing the hardest battle of my life in year 33, being in housed (hospitalized) a week for depression treatment and sucidial thoughts, I know that great despair, pain, and loneliness doesn’t need to end in death. Through my pain and journey brings my desire to educate and help others overcome the sterotypes that surround mental illnesses. To help destroy the lie that a Christian is not or should not be depressed nor fight another kind of mental illness. Let me tell you that the Bible is full of chapters with words written about people, all kinds of people who lived for the Lord yet faced and fought problems on a daily basis, but the key to overcoming is knowing this... that there is hope—eternal hope—in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Suicide is extremely serious and tragic and if someone who is reading this is contemplating suicide, I beg of you to reconsider and seek help for whatever your problem may be. I am still under the care of both a Christian therapist and psychiatrist for the treatment and healing for depression/anxiety. God loves you—whether you believe it or not—and He does not want you to end your life, but satan does, however, you must not listen to him. Instead, put your faith and hope in Christ and His love for you. You are never alone if you know Him, because nothing ‘will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord’ (Romans 8:39).” Turn to the Lord today, and by faith ask Christ to come into your life. When we know Christ we are never alone. He is with us always. Reach out for His loving hand today, and save a life—your own—for eternity. ♡

 But God!!

Enforce the Victory!

Many, including myself, have given the devil far more credit than he is due. Hello? We seem to spend more time focusing on and talking about what the devil is doing to us than we spend taking about what God is doing for us. According to Isaiah 14:16 (KJV), we will one day “narrowly look upon” the devil. In other words, we will squint - as if we cannot believe our eyes! We will stare at him and think or say, “can this really be the devil?” Because he is so unimpressive that we will not be able to fathom how he managed to deceive anyone! Why wait to see the devil for who he really is? Jesus Christ defeated him on the cross of Calvary. As you submit to God and resist the devil, you can enforce the victory that Jesus won over satan.

“Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ”
(1 Corinthians 15:57).

Here is to Year 34 for Me!

I am officially in the last week of being 33 years old. I have just been thinking on and off all day of everything the Lord brought me through over the last 33 years... 34 surgeries/procedures, multiple hospitalizations, deep depression, loss of loved ones, multiple diagnosis's of incurable diseases, the list could go on... but most importantly God has brought me through victorious and healed, as I am confident of who I am in HIM. I continually overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony! I am most thankful that I have grown in Him, that I have went through the refiner's fire, though painful at the time, and laid down sins and habits and separated myself from the ways of this sinful world; learning what means to live sanctified and separated from the ways of the world. I am thankful for the ministry opportunities He has given me thus far, and I am thankful for the lessons learned. I know everything that I have come through and all the healing I have experienced is because Jesus chose the cross, the Bible says that He could have called 10,000 angels to His rescue but praise God, He became sin, who knew no sin, so I could become His righteousness, so that I could become saved, healed, delivered, and set free through His sacrifice, suffering and death on the cross! I am looking forward to year 34, more opportunities to minister for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as I continue growing in Him, serving, worshipping, praising, and living for Him until I see Him face to face.

Jesus and Peanut Butter!

So, I was sitting in a restuarant several years back, with my friend and as we were getting ready to leave I heard "Jesus Peanut Butter" in my spirit, then on the way to the car I could hear the commercial slogan "Choosy moms choose Jif!"...ok Lord, where are you going with this? Well, in today's stores Peanut Butter has been turned into a big choice... you have chunky, smooth, organic, reduced fat, store brand, brand name, mixed with jelly, etc. It is the same with religion; you have the world offering you every choice to follow while the one true God is being put on the back burner. Not choosing to follow Jesus is a choice but I am going to be like Joshua, in the Bible and serve the Lord. Now, as far as the JIF, in my spirit I heard JIF = "Jesus Is First"! Jesus is my first choice, He is the only choice I want to serve and follow!

Joshua 24:14-15 KJV
Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

All I Need To Know!

There are a lot of things I don't understand. I know things can change without warning. There is a lot of uncertainty in life. There are times I don't feel the presence of the Lord. There are times I am so grieved in my spirit, that all I can do is weep until it nearly takes my breath. However, there is one thing I know to be true and that is I love the Lord and He loves me... unconditionally. I know that I am saved. I know that I shall see Heaven as my eternal home one day, and that is all I need to know.

Knowing That You Are Saved!

When the dust has settled, and all is said and done, you better know that nothing (or no one) will take you into Heaven but your faith and belief in the Son of God, your salvation through Jesus Christ. Your denomination can't take you to Heaven, man can't get you into Heaven, you can't work your way in, you can't buy your way in, you can't trick your way in, you can't sneak your way in, you can't find a set of keys hanging on the kingdom gate to let yourself in... and don't think you are just gonna climb on over the pearly gates or walls of jasper to get in, because it won't work! You better know that you know, that you know, you are saved and ready to go! *JOHN 3:16*

The 2nd verse of this song is what I long to share with the world.

"ON THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL"  LYRICS
Verse 1. JUST OVER THE MOUNTAIN----
IS A PLACE THAT'S CALLED HEAVEN----
IT HOLDS MANY MANSIONS ---
FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE---
WELL, THERE'S A BRIGHTER TOMORROW-
WHERE THERE'S NO PAIN OR SORROW---
AND I'M GOING TO LIVE THERE---
WHEN THIS WORLD I'LL LEAVE---

CHORUS:
O FLY ME AWAY
ON THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL
AND, I'LL WALK WITH MY SAVIOR
BY THE RIVER OF LIFE
I'LL DRINK LIVING WATER
FROM GOD'S HOLY FOUNTAIN
IN GOD'S GREENER PASTURES
I'LL BE SATISFIED

Verse 2. O SINNER, DON'T YOU WAIT---
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE----
YOU SEE THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM ----
THEY DON'T HANG ON THE GATE----
JESUS KNOCKS AT YOUR DOOR----
OH, WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER----
WILL YOU COME TAKE HIS HAND----
AND DENY HIM NO MORE----

REPEAT CHORUS AND TAG

Do not fear the Intimidation!

DO NOT BOW TO INTIMIDATION - Word from the Lord: As I send you forth into times of ministry, understand that conflicting forces challenge with obstacles, hindrances and curses to oppose your freedom. You may feel intimidation and oppression in the air. These things are in the air 24 hours a day. I promise you that when I send you forth to minister, if your eyes are on the opposition, your confidence will wane and you will feel My anointing ebb. The entire scheme of the enemy is to distract you away from Me, to get your eyes off of Me and onto conflict, and thereby dropping your shield of faith. As long as you keep your eyes on Me, your faith will be strong and joyful and My Presence will have free reign in your ministry times.

1 Peter 3:14 - NASB
"But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED"...

God has a master plan!

ROMANS 8:28 - Those who love God can trust His goodness, His power, and His will to work out all things for our good. The promise that God works all things together for good does not mean that all things are good. Some things and events are decidedly bad. But God is able to work them together for good. He sees the big picture; He has a master plan. ♡ He sees what we don't.
