Speak the Name of Jesus!

-

Video link from 8.29.2021 service at Clanton Church of God. I'm thankful for this song in these bleak times we're living in. https://youtu.be/PODEqDJZSoA

Lyrics:

I just want to speak the Name of Jesus

Over every heart and every mind

'Cause I know there is peace within your presence. I speak Jesus

I just want to speak the Name of Jesus
'Til every dark addiction starts to break
Declaring there is hope and there is freedom. I speak Jesus

Your Name is power
Your Name is healing
Your Name is life
Break every stronghold
Shine through the shadows
Burn like a fire

I just want to speak the Name of Jesus
Over fear and all anxiety
To every soul held captive by depression
I speak Jesus

Your Name is power
Your Name is healing
Your Name is life
Break every stronghold
Shine through the shadows
Burn like the fire

Shout Jesus from the mountains
Jesus in the streets
Jesus in the darkness over every enemy
Jesus for my family
I speak the Holy Name Jesus

***The Holy Spirit was moving as they sung this for about 20 minutes, but I shortened it. There is an urgency in my spirit for God's people to PRAY AGAINST OPPRESSION. The oppressive spirit desires to shut us up and hold us down. God desires to elevate us and move us forward, but He can't do that if we refuse to completely surrender to Him and cast this spirit back to hell where it belongs. Let me tell you that the spirit of oppression is very real. It's effecting the church at large right now. The Lord has shown me how "UNDERESTIMATED it is by Christians" in this hour. We have allowed the enemy to have authority and power over us for too long, instead of taking the authority we have over the enemy in Jesus' name. What we need right now is a good ole stomping and shouting service that will put the enemy where he belongs... under our feet. When a person is oppressed they just can’t seem to get up or get ahead, no matter what they do. I've been captive to that oppressive spirit... my mind was attacked with fear, my body attacked with sickness, issues in my family, even my finances were hindered. I felt weak, defeated, fatigued, unsettled, and isolated. It hindered my prayer and spiritual gifts, I wanted to sit down in silence, and it shook my faith. Oppression is intended to kill or steal your faith... you begin to waver in your faith or you start to have faith in God for one thing and then no faith in God for something else; it doesn't work that way. I praise God for lifting that spirit of oppression off me, and allowing me to learn how to walk in His victory. The enemy wants to oppress you until you begin to doubt and not believe God regarding who you are in Him, or what He has called you to do. It was our responsibility to come against it. I had to decide to be persistent and constant in fighting it. I had to push through and pray, fast, read the Bible, worship and get back up. When it lifted, my joy and peace were restored. The fear left and my purpose returned. I have faith in God that it's going to be okay in His time and way. I know God desires for His children and church to have "complete victory" over oppression. He desires for us to "defeat the enemy" when it comes to oppression. When trying to get an understanding of oppression, you must know that it is both a spirit and a weapon. Yes, oppression is a spirit that is used as a weapon (and formed) against you. Yet, we must always remember Isaiah 54:17, which says; {“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”} Oppression should not be able to prosper against you. But to stop it, you must shut the doors that it would operate through. I want you to understand something: the greater the call, the greater the anointing, the greater the work God is doing in your home and church, the greater God’s purposed breakthrough for you is... then the greater the oppression and resistance from the enemy. My prayer focus has changed for my church, my family, and myself over the past couple of months. I want to walk in the power and authority God has given me until I am called home. I urge you in this hour to pray and believe with me. You wonder why nothing seems to be getting better or changing in your life (or our country) or you seem too tired to care?! Well, you must realize what's happening... it's oppression straight from the pits of hell that's coming against us. I have begin praying, "let it whither up and die!" over and over. Again, we need to move forward, as God desires to elevate us in our faith in Him and in our gifts and talents for Him. He desires to pour out a refreshing over His people. He wants us to have revival. But, there is a call of urgency for God's people to come against, rebuke, and bind up the spirit of oppression!***

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...
