Speak only Life into Dead Situations!

-
Ezekiel 37:1-14, Valley of the dry bones/Speaking Life. In these verses, the dry bones symbolically represented the utter state of defeat, there were no signs of life. Their breath and hope were gone. Many are experiencing dead places in their lives: whether it is spiritual, emotional, situational, physical, financial, or mental. We feel dead on the inside, meaning all of our hope is gone. When we receive hurt after hurt and dissappointment after disappointment, it can place us in a valley of dry bones condition. God’s desire is that our trials make us stronger, but often before the strength comes we find ourselves in a dark and seemingly lifeless valley of despair. When we are in the valley, we look to the right and see hills, we look to the left and see mountains, meaning problems are all around. When we are in the valley, we find ourselves in one of the lowest conditions in our life. When Ezekiel prophesied to the dry bones, scripture reads the first thing God told him to prophesy, was to hear the word of the Lord. Then God told him to say to the dry bones, I am going to put breath into you and make you live again. I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. No matter how desperate your situation is, no matter what it looks like. God is able to speak the word of life and hope in the midst of your dead place. Oh, there is no mountain too high, and no valley too low. No matter how big the problem is, we can never forget that God is bigger. Hear the word of the Lord. Do you hear the rattling? Can you see in the Spirit realm, the bones coming together? Can you believe that God is giving you strength? He is breathing His Spirit into the midst of your dead place. No matter what it is, give it to Him, for God can do what no man can. It is impossible with man but with God, all things are possible. Allow Him to come in and receive new life today... in the midst of your dead place, begin to speak new life into it and allow the breath of God to revive and resuscitate those areas of your life!

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...
