40 Days of Personal Revival!

-
Do I know if this quarantine will last 40 days, or if there will be something connected to the No. 40 when this is over? No I don't!? I have no knowledge of how long it will last, but upon continuing to pray and study the word, I know there is a spiritual purpose and reasoning behind this time especially for the Christian church. I do keep seeing in my spirit, a banner that says, "you've entered into 40 days of PERSONAL revival!" There is a significance to the No. 40, and I was shifted into a direction of studying about this. Why forty days? The number forty (40) is seen a number of times in the Bible as a period of trial, of a testing in order to be cleansed or refined and perfected (I do think that is taking place to better equip His last day church to continue bringing others into His Kingdom); like products are tested and their flaws corrected in order to ensure their capability and durability. In Noah’s time it rained 40 days and 40 nights. In Moses’ time, after thinking he could save Israel his way, Moses fled to and lived in Midian for 40 years, returning to deliver Israel God’s way. Also, after rejecting the idea that the Promised Land was theirs for the taking, Israel wandered in the wilderness 40 years, until all those who did not believe died, after which Israel entered into the Promised Land. Studies have said that Moses' life is divided into three 40-year segments, separated by his growing to adulthood, fleeing from Egypt, and his return to lead his people out. (Which makes sense since Moses was 120 years old when he passed away, and 80 years old during his first encounter with Pharaoh.) Lent consists of 40 days before Easter. After being baptized in water by John the Baptist, Jesus entered the wilderness (Judean Desert) for 40 days and nights for a time of fasting and being tempted of the enemy. There was a spiritual preparation that had to take place for His ministry on earth to be fulfilled. Also, after Jesus was raised from the dead, He remained on the earth for 40 days before He ascended off it.

In the spiritual realm, I do see God rising up His Holy Remanent church through this, to prepare for the great revival to sweep our nation. I see the need for the Christian church to not confuse faith with wisdom. I have faith that God will protect me (hence, I will go outdoors and enjoy the sunshine and our land or ride around in my car when I need a break), but I also have to walk in wisdom to know I don't walk out in front of moving traffic (hence, the importance of temporarily closing churches/social gatherings and following quarantine guidelines). If no one else in the Christian society is getting anything out of this time, I sure am!

My 3.23.2020 word from the throne room of God. 
I'm journaling about these days.

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"?

-
Image
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...
