The Promise is Here

 Hey Hey

Welcome back to my blog! I am so full and excited for what God is doing, He is constantly showing me all I have to do is trust Him! 

The bible says, "Therefore we are also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. - Hebrews 12:1 NKJ

I get so excited hearing the word of God, it literally is our instruction manual that leads us through a world that can be so evil; but thanks be to God we know a light a power that is above every scheme, every evil, every demonic statics, YEHWAH is He! I tell my friends all the time I am obsess with God there's no greater love than His!

Let me get into the blog because the more I think of God's grace and mercy and His goodness towards all of us my soul get's excited! My mind gets lined up, my heart leaps, my body makes a shift He's really a good good, Father. 

The Promise is HERE!

Last night I received some amazing news and was just overjoy for what God was doing. After praising God and talking to my circle I went to bed. The Lord speaks to me a lot in my dreams, and in my dream I was late to the event that I was excited about. I left all my equipment, I didn't have my car, it was raining outside, everything that could go wrong was going wrong. As I was gathering myself to find a ride, I got stopped by some familiar people that I no longer associate myself with. They wanted me to go to an event and was literally pushing me into the car to hurry to get me there. You know when you are in a play and the actors are rushing behind the scene to get ready for the next act, thats exactly how fast they were moving with me. 

I kept saying, "Hey I have somewhere to be",but I wasn't talking in a voice that showed authority over my situation, but  I was showing them what I used to be. Timid. 

Timid means to show a lack of confidence of courage or confidence, frighten.  Have you ever been surrounded by a pass thing that you forgot who you were in God?  Have you ever been surrounded by what YOU use to give power to? I was speaking but I wasn't speaking with authority I wasn't being the power house that God said I was. 

I began to get frustrated because they wanted me to change into a dress I knew was too big for me. I overheard them say they spilled beer on the dress and that they didn't get it clean, but they wiped it down.  Still timid in my words, I said I don't want to wear this dress it's too big. Unknowingly, I have already given the power that I'm staying I just can't wear the dress.

That's what the enemy does to our mind, he makes us believe that we have to give in because what's around us is louder than the promise that God already gave us.  Who are we listening to?

Eventually I saw a crowd of people that also looked familiar waiting for me to get on stage, I began to put on the dress, but it was so big that it kept falling off of me, and some of the audience kept seeing me undress. How often have we given ourselves to crowd that didn't need to see what was meant for just you and God. I know I have!

As I began to become frustrated with myself and the outfit I woke up. All this happened in my dream. As I got up I went into prayer and spent time with God and He began to speak to me about the dream. 

When our promise is close to us our past will try to come up and entangle us with things that we should be doing to please them. In my dream I was surrounded by familiar voices I use to give power too. Allowing them to dress me even if it embarrassed me. 

Isaiah 43:18 NKJ says Do not remember the former things nor consider the things of old! We are giving power to an old thing! God says turn up your discernment, they're going to be people who try to service themselves as help to you, to get you to do what they want you to do and, and want you to be instead of what I called you to be! 

I said Lord break it down. He said, "you were surrounded by what people wanted you to be and how they wanted you to move, that you gave into  what was loud instead of the promise that was already in motion." In the dream I gave into what was louder that I forgot about the very event that god put together for me. Because of my frustration and timidness I moved into something that wasn't a God thing, but a man thing!

Come here Moses!

Numbers 20:4-12 AMP Then the Israelites, the whole congregation, came into the Wilderness of Zin in the first month [in the fortieth year after leaving Egypt]. And the people lived in Kadesh. Miriam died there and was buried there.Now there was no water for the congregation, and they gathered together against Moses and Aaron.  The people contended with Moses, and said, “If only we had perished when our brothers perished [in the plague] before the Lord! Why have you brought up the assembly of the Lord into this wilderness to die here, we and our livestock?  Why have you made us come up from Egypt, to bring us to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain or of figs or of vines or of pomegranates, and there is no water to drink.” Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the doorway of the Tent of Meeting (tabernacle) and fell on their faces [before the Lord in prayer]. Then the glory and brilliance of the Lord appeared to them; and the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Take the rod; and you and your brother Aaron assemble the congregation and speak to the rockin front of them, so that it will pour out its water. In this way you shall bring water for them out of the rock and let the congregation and their livestock drink [fresh water].”  So Moses took the rod from before the Lord, just as He had commanded him; and Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly before the rock. Moses said to them, “Listen now, you rebels; must we bring you water out of this rock?”  Then Moses raised his hand [in anger] and with his rod he struck the rock twice [instead of speaking to the rock as the Lord had commanded]. And the water poured out abundantly, and the congregation and their livestock drank [fresh water]. But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you have not believed (trusted) Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, you therefore shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” 

Moses missed what God had already promised Him, because of His frustration with the crowd he was around.

God is saying in this season you have to pay attention to what He has already told you. No matter what is going on around you, no matter what the enemy try to say God is saying son, daughter keep your eyes on me! Don't miss your promise because you are looking at your situation!

Exodus 14:13:14 NKJ"And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yehwah, which He will accomplish for you today.  For the Egyptians whom you see today,  you shall see again no more forever. Yehwah will fight for you and you shall hold your peace."

You have to know that God has you, you have to know that if God said it it's going to happen. Numbers 23:19-20 NKJ "God is not man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do?  Or has He spoken, and will he not make it good? Behold I have received a command to bless, He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it."

We serve a God that is  a promise keeper! In my dream I was timid because what was around me, but God said, I have not given you the spirit of fear, but of power love and a sound mind! - I Timothy 1:7

We have to walk with spiritual boldness. God made us to be strong soldiers for His kingdom. 

Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion. Be bold for God as He is bold for you. 

The promises that God has for us is here, don't miss what He has for us because things of the world is trying to entangle you with your past. God is doing new things, and when you keep your eyes focused on Him, He will blow your mind further than you can imagine!

I pray that this word encouraged you, as it has me,  I pray you will hold on to the promises that God has for you, its not on the way but it is here!

I love you, but God loves you more ! 

Frozen Too

Hey Hey welcome back to my blog! It's something special about building an intimate relationship with God. It's a secure feeling let me tell you! God is so amazing, can you just pause for a second and just reflect on how great God is, and how he has sustained all of us throughout this entire year. Hallelujah, I'm grateful.

I must tell you a secret about me, I am not a big fan of watching movies like I use too. As I get older I just want silence lol, especially hear Ms. Kita, Ms. Kita Kiiiita D lol, however when I do watch a movie, God speeeeaaaaks every time! If you look at the title you already know where I'm going with this one. When God changed the title I said Abba, Frozen Too, instead of Frozen Two? He said, I am reminding you that I can speak through anything. I mean a God that will grasp our attention anyway because He loves us. 

I am a woman who will look up words even more now because when God speaks every detail counts, so I looked up the word too, and it means in addition or also. And it reminded me of what the Lord said above I can speak through anything Frozen Too (also). We serves a detailed God!

At work before gathering my students for circle time I always let them dance and listen to music I give them their time and then they give me that time back during circle. I truly have the best class. On this particular day one of my girls asked to listen to "Show Yourself", now I don't know if you ever watched Frozen II or the first one, but its so prophetic, I encourage you to go back and watch it with a God perspective it will blow your mind. As I put on the song the Lord began to speak and of course tears began to form in my eyes. 

 The song says:

Every inch of me is trembling but not from the cold 

something is familiar like a dream, I can reach but not quite

 hold on I can sense you there like a friend I've always known.

I'm arriving and it feels like I am home. I have alway been a fortress 

cold secrets deep inside you have secrets too but you don't have to hide. 

Show yourself I'm dying to meet you show yourself it's your turn

Are you the one I've been looking for All of my life? 

Show yourself I'm ready to learn. I've never felt so certain All my life, 

I've been torn but I'm here for a reason I was born? I have always 

been so different Normal rules did not apply is this the day? 

Are you the way I finally find out why?

Show yourself I'm no longer trembling here I am I've come so far You 

are the answer I've waited for All of my life Oh show yourself

Let me see who you are come to me now open your door

Don't make me wait one moment more, oh show yourself 

Let me see who you are 

Come to see now open your door Don't make me wait 

One moment more, oh come to me now open your door 

Don't make me wait one moment more, oh come to me now open your door

Don't make me wait One moment more. 

Where the North wind meets the see. There's a river full of 

memory (memories, memories) Come, my darling homeward bound I am 

found grow yourself into something new.

Just typing this just reminds me how important it is to listen for God in all things! I said Abba you are showing us how to connect with you on a deeper level than what we are used too. If you watch the movie (SPOILER ALERT) for those who have not watched it, in each movie whenever Elsa realizes who she is her garments change! I wish ya'll could see how pumped I am in this! (focus Kita, but my praise is real) Each time Elsa began to recognize who she was. Unapologetic about it her garments changed each time. Do you know we serve a God that will not allow us to be complacent in anything, but will continue to  mold us and grow us as He sees fit. Elsa had to let go of fear in order to see herself, but she also had to still away from the crowd! 

Matthew 19:25 NKJ 

But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

What work can God do in your life simply by you eliminating the crowd? 

In Frozen Two Elsa was the only one who could hear the voice and the only one that felt a shift that only she could get too. This was her assignment.  We have to understand when God is calling us to a higher assignment that doesn't require everyone to go with us.  It felt familiar to her. The Holy Spirit is already inside of us we just have have to be willing to accept the change.

Romans 8:14-1 NKJ

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God  these are the sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba Father."

Elsa started to become fearful because she felt a change that no one else could relate to.  How many of us sometimes become fearful because we see change that we don't recognize is God, or because others don't see it first?

God reminds us we didn't receive the bondage of fear AGAIN. God is saying don't go back to an old way of doing things, the change is coming from me. HALLELUJAH!  Isn't incredible when the Lord makes the change!

II Timothy 1:6-9 

Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 

Elsa had the power in her hands! God reminds us to stir up our gift, Elsa did work, but she couldn't stay bond to a kingdom/place she was never called to be. Sometimes we get comfortable in a place thats meant for someone else's elevation,  Anna couldn't be elevated until Elsa moved out of the way!

Are you stopping someone else's elevation because you are comfortable?

Jesus!

Ephesians 3:17-19 NKJ

That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith' that you being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 

When you began to follow the voice of the Lord them familiar place feels like home, bondage breaks off, and freedom you began to walk in with God. 

Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed - John 8:36

Allow the Holy Spirit to make the change in you! Allow God to show himself all through you. Listen to the voice of God and allow him to change what was familiar before and make it home in Jesus name!

God is intentional with our life! I pray you are blessed by this word today, I pray you would go back and not only listen to the song after reading the scriptures and talking to God ,but that you will see and feel His presents greater than you did before. 

I love you but God loves you more!

Elf on the Shelf

Hey Hey 

Welcome back to my blog! We are in the last month of the year, it is December 5th! If I'm honest looking back on my life from this year alone I am blown away by how God has moved in my life. I am so humbly grateful to the Father for just being so good to me. Most of all for waiting patiently for me to run back to him fully and completely. 

As you may know I am a preschool teacher, and with that I am very animated and have a broad imagination when it comes to teaching and keeping my students engaged.  We are in December so of course my students are beyond excited for Christmas and Santa bringing all the presents! Now we all know the reason for the season, but my babies are 4. I have introduced them to Elf on the Shelf. I have one that personal looks like me, but we also have one that is going around the center to all of the classrooms. On this passed Friday all the classes came together to watch the Elf on the Shelf movie and when I tell you I was in tears the Lord spoke so loudly and clear through a 30 minute movie that was focus on Santa but was actually focused on Him for me to share with you. 

Just a short background of the movie. There's a young elf name Chippy (named by the children) that is eager to go down to earth for his first assignment Now Chippy is new to this, but has faith he can do the job with no trouble. Santa tells him he is a little young but trust him to do the job. In his assignment he has a boy name Taylor who does not believe anymore and twin sisters that do. Chippy does all that he could to get Taylor to believe. He brought out old pictures with him and Santa, but nothing was working. He still did not believe. 

Did I forget to mention that the kids were not aloud to touch Chippy and if you would touch him he would loose all his magic and be stuck on earth forever. One day Taylor  wanted to prove that Chippy was not real, he said, "If he's so real he would move when I go to touch him." When he touched Chippy; Chippy fell over,! With devastation his sisters ran to tell his parents. Chippy tried to make his way back to the North Pole but was to weak to fly. However the other elves saw him and helped him and brought him back to the North Pole.  STAY WITH ME HERE !

As Chippy was in the hospital the other elves tried to cheer him up saying "Rise up, rise up, it's time to show it. I can hear the Queen in Black Panther saying, "Show them who you are!"   but Chippy felt like he failed his assignment. Taylor felt horrible so he wrote Santa a letter to apologize for hurting Chippy. 

Have you ever lost hope in what you needed but gained belief when you wrote it down? As Taylor wrote Santa he sent it off to the North Pole, and Santa received his letter. 

Here's when God began to speak. Now Santa is huge compared to the elves, and He also carries all the magic, but he gives each elf magic to hold on too. However, it is up to them to stir the magic up within them.  My My my God is amazing. That's how God uses us, each of us have the Holy Spirit in us and God is waiting for us to stir up the gift that we have in us to do the work that He has called us to do. 

II Timothy 1:6-7 NKJV

Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power love and a sound mind. What gift has God given you that you're not using? Have you adapted the feeling of fear, instead of trusting the power thats within you?

As Santa sat at his desk reading the letter He got up to go visit Chippy who was well to return but began to feel sorrowful and began to have doubt cover him.  Have you ever been in a place where after everything you tried wasn't working out so doubt began to cloud your mind.

Santa said, how are you doing Chippy?", with sorrow Chippy said, I let you down Santa I did everything to get him to believe but nothing worked, I failed you. Have you ever felt like you failed God? I know I did and then God reminded me that There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. - Romans 8:1

 Santa said, "Chippy you can't make people believe you just have to be there and do your work. They must feel it in their heart to believe in me. Is your heart posture fixed on God? Do you believe God to give you the strength and the power to do the job He is calling you to do. We are called to do the work, but we can't force people to believe and God can't force you either, but He can show you who He is. It's in our actions and speaking that we can demonstrate how good, and big our God is.  Recognize who your father is and where you get your power from, and gain your identity with the Father. 

John 15:1-11

I am the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.  Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He [repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit [even richer and finer fruit].  You are already clean because of the word which I have given you [the teachings which I have discussed with you].  Remain in Me, and I will remain] in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me. I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken off] branch, and withers and dies; and they gather such branches and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you remain in Me and My words remain in you [that is, if we are vitally united and My message lives in your heart], ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you.  My Father is glorified and honored by this, when you bear much fruit, and prove yourselves to be My [true] disciples.  I have loved you just as the Father has loved Me; remain in My love and do not doubt My love for you.  If you keep My commandments and obey My teaching, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing.

 Santa allowed Chippy to read the letter that Taylor wrote and his heart was overwhelmed with joy. 

John 9:4 says, I must work the work of Him that sent me while it is day, for the night will come and no man can work. 

You must know that the work you are doing is not in vain, that if God called you to the assignment then He has faith to believe that you can complete it. Chippy believed in the begin, but started to feel doubt when things became difficult. Not every task is easy, but it's worth it. 

I'm a living witness on how God moves. Look how he moves through movies 😉

I pray that this blog blessed you! I pray you will stir up your gift and do the work He has called you to do. Be bold for  God as He continues to be bold for you

I love you but Yehwah loves you more.

Traveling With Jesus

Hey Hey! Welcome back to my blog!

November is flying by, can you believe that 2022 is almost over !? It has been a year but I can honestly say it's been rewarding these last six months.  I am enjoying this journey with God and daily developing a deeper relationship with God. 

But let me share how God is just right on time with how He brings the word for all of our understanding. On Friday morning I was home from work due to a snow storm and was just laying on my bed scrolling on TikTok and the Lord told me to go pray. 

As I gathered in my prayer closet I sat against the wall and began to thank God for EVERYTHING and the more I prayed the closer I began to move towards the wall in front of me until I was curled up in the corner praying in my heavenly language and telling God everything. 

At that moment the Lord gave me a vision of me literally curled up in His ear, and He said this is how close you are to me daughter. I hear your prayers, your desires and your heart, stay right here. I kept praying and just embraced the love of the Father until I was released from prayer. As I got out I just felt God's presence so heavy on me still I went into worship and and sent my prayer sister a voice memo, as we shared what God was doing He dropped this, "isn't great traveling with me, your just a pilgrim passing by doing the work I sent you to do."

Maaaaan Jesus is sooooo amazing I absolutely love Him. 

Traveling With Jesus 

As I began to study I looked up the word pilgrim, and pilgrim is a person who journeys to a sacred place, for religious reasons,  another definition said one to journey to foreign lands. 

In greek it means: worshipper.  

I said God I see why you call us pilgrims, because we are worshippers following you

I Peter 2:11-12 Beloved, I beg you as sojourner and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against your soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evil doers, they may by you good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation. 

As believers we are called to stand out. Earth is not our home, but there's some destinations and places that we have to go through while we are here. 

I am big on understanding words so I looked up traveling too. Traveling means going or being transported from place to place. When you are walking with the Father you are going to be moving constantly with Him. God won't let you get comfortable in a thing when He is trying to move you into a better thing, or a new thing. My Bishop said once, if you stay ready you don't have to get ready, you have to be ready when you are walking with God. 

Isaiah 43:18-19. The Lord ministered this entire chapter to me. He said I need you to get an understanding why you travel with me, even through dark days, dark moments, and rough time I have purpose for it all.

"Do not remember the former things, nor ponder of the things of the past. Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, Now it will spring forth, Will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness and a river in the desert."

God is saying as you traveling this journey of life with me don't remember the life you had without me, nor allow your mind to ponder on the things of the past. Ponder means thinking about something carefully, especially before making a decision or reaching a conclusion. The enemy would love to keep you on your past so you can see what you could have done differently, but God says to fix your mind on things above, not on things that are on earth which have only temporal value -Colossians 3:2.  God is moving us forward! Then He says listen carefully. The Lord had me to look up the word carefully and carefully means in a way that deliberately avoids harm or errors; cautiously. God is so good! He wants us to tune our ears to him with great care and no harm, because He wants us to be ready to catch the new thing that He has for us.  How do I know that? Vs 9 Now it will spring forth, will you not be aware of it? If our mind is pondering on what has happen we will miss the new thing that God is doing now! God says I'll even put roads in the wilderness and a river in the desert. He's reminding us that He can do the impossible! 

With man it's impossible but with God all things are possible.- Mark 10:27

Trust that traveling with God is not in vain, but its a journey like never before because you have the creator Yahweh guiding you! Through your travels, know God directs every move when you stay connected to His will, His way and His word. Are you packed and ready? Yahweh is waiting on you!

I pray that this blessed you as God blessed me with it. Know that I love you, but God loves you so much more, until next time!

Knowing Who You Are In Christ

 Hey Hey 

Welcome back to my blog. 

God is truly amazing,  I pray that when you come across this blog you will be blessed with what God has given me to share with you.

It is currently 7:23am Sunday morning and the Lord has been speaking to me and directed me to write this blog. I am in a space where when God says move I must move with no hesitation. I woke up pretty earlier and started my day with devotion and prayer and began to make breakfast for myself. As I was doing so I began to listen to old recordings that I had in my phone and I came across one from November 30th 2020, immediately the Lord began to speak.

Can I tell you, I am a living witness that God will bring you back to a thing to remind you who you are in Him. I titled the recording "Being Best Friends With God" As I listen to the recording the Lord said, I already knew who you were daughter, I just needed you to believe who you were in me and not in man.

Even as I type this I keep pausing to worship our savior. When the Lord reminds you of who you are who can deny it?

                                                                    Jeremiah 1:4-5 NKJV

Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I sanctified you, I ordained you a prophet to the nations.

Who does God call you to be?

What have you called yourself? Does it line up with what God has for your life? 

We loose our identity in God when we try to line up our identity with man. God says no longer will you claim what the world says about you, but now you will follow what I say about you. 

Matthew 16:26 NKJV For what profits a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what  will a man give in exchange for his soul?

When you break down the word "IF" it means a condition or supposition. Jesus knew it would be a possibility that we will choose what we see in the world then what we see in Him.

I am a living witness that I picked the world many times, and like my mentor says, "those who are in Christ that try to be like the world looks like cornballs LOL." We just don't fit in no matter how much we try. We are not meant to be like the world, because Jesus already overcame it!

John 16:33 NKJV These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. in the world you will have tribulations; but be of good cheer, i have overcome the world. 

I want to encourage you today to find out who you are in Christ by building that intimate relationship with Him. God says you don't know who you are because you are still trying to find out who I am. I pray even now that as you learn who God is He will show you daily who you are, I pray now that God will show you who He is by the things you ask in prayer. I speak even now that miracle signs and wonders will come your way and that you will see truly and completely how big God is. I speak God will change who you are and make you more like Him in the name of Jesus. Amen

Know that I love you, but God loves you so much more! 

Be blessed 

  

Embrace the Process, as You Embrace God

Hey Hey 

Welcome back to a New Thing Blog!

I don't know about you, but the closer I get to what God promised me, the more the enemy starts to plot and scheme. But I'm grateful that God is showing me how to stay at His feet and believe His word and not what the enemy is whispering. 

Which brings me to my next topic, "Embrace the Process, as You Embrace God. When God gave me this I said Lord this is not only on time for teaching, but this is right on time for me. One thing about God's word and the revelation that comes with it is, it hits your heart first. As I was preparing and studying I got so emotional about how mindful our God is to us, and to know His promises are yes and amen it made me want to continue to fight to see what the end is going to be. It gives me so much peace just to know every day I wake up I'm counted in the number. 

Embrace the Process, as You Embrace God, I was sitting in church when God gave me this title and immediately began to write down what He began to speak to me. 

There's two definitions that I found the first says, 

embrace: accept or support (a belief, theory, or change) willingly and enthusiastically. 

Immediately I was blessed. If embrace doesn't fit the exact format to what God wants us to do when it comes to following Him. 

1. He wants us to believe

2. Know that change will happen

3. Do it with joy

The second defintion is, to hold someone closely in one's arm especially as a sign of affection. God wants to hold us in His arms. Jesssus I can feel my help typing this. God is so amazing He wants us to feel His presence as we go through to know that we are not alone. 

God didn't stop me there, but had me look up process. 

Process: a SERIES of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end. 

It's not something that happens quickly. I said Father I hear you. In all this you want us to hold on to your love as you walk us through the series of steps that you have laid out for us. My God! That's the type of God we serve. He soooooo mindful to break things down for our understanding. 

Embrace in Hebrews means to lie down or to put your entire weight on something. 

Process in Hebrews means to adapt. 

Embracing change with God is not always easy, but can I tell you it is worth it. When God is taking you through a new season that you never saw coming you have to trust Him with every step. 

Ecclesiastes 11:5 Just as you don't know the path of the wind or how bones develop int he womb of a pregnant woman, so also you don't know the work of God who makes everything. 

We don't know how God is going to do a thing but we have to trust His plan and know that His plan is the best plan.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts I think towards you, says the Lord thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 

Ask yourself the question, "Do I trust the plan that God has for my life, or do I trust me more."

Ask yourself, who has let you down, you or God?

Joshua 1:5 No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live, I will be with you as I was with Moses I will not leave you or abandon you. 

God is not like man where He will leave us without instructions, strategy or comfort. Whatever we need God for He will be there. Some of us have been abandoned by family, friends, coworkers, jobs, partners and more and we compare their actions to God instead of  letting God handle our situation. 

God is bigger than what we've bee through we just have to allow Him in to help us through it all. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him he will make your path straight. 

As you embrace your process and follow God in it all He says don't lean on what you know and what you are use to but to trust him in it all and through it all. 

The process with God is worth it, it keeps you at His feet and not at your own. 

Change is something that constantly happens when you walk with the Father, I encourage you to keep taking the steps with Him 

Proverbs 16:9 A Person's heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps. 

Allow God to keep guiding your steps, and watch Him change things for you, keep embracing the process as God keeps embracing you.

Stay encouraged, I love you but God loves you more. 

Revamp Your Mind

 Hey Hey!

Welcome Back to my Blog!

When I say God is still doing a new thing, He is doing a new thing! I am so excited to see what God has for us!

So last week the Lord dropped this title and this lesson on me and it's been  blessing me so I'm excited to share with you.

"Revamp Your Mind"

I was sitting in church and the woman of God was preaching on Think Carefully It's Time to Rebuild, now her sermon alone blessed my entire life. As I was listening God said, tell my children to Revamp Their  Mind. 

As I went home to study I looked up the word revamp, and revamp means; give new and improved form, structure or appearance to.  I said God wow, the definition match what you want for our life. So God wants to reconstruct our mind to improve us for His glory. 

Notice when God changes are mind then He begins to change our appearance. ! Whew God is so good.

As I was studying and writing the Lord kept giving me different scriptures to lean on so don't be alarmed but think how mindful our Father is that He will lay out the instructions for us in His word. The power in reading God's word . 

Romans 12:1-2 

Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of mercies of God, I  urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God this is your true worship. Do not be conformed to this age but be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may discern what is good, pleasing and perfect will of God.  When you revamp your thinking then you are able to discern the things that are pleasing to God and not yourself. 

How do you renew your mind? 

You have to continuously seek God's face.

Matthew 6:33 

But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness should be added unto you!

God is the only who can change our mind. But it's in our prayer, and confessing to the Lord that we will get the instruction on how to do so. Be honest with the Father, humbly submit to what He says and what he wants for our lives. 

I Corinthians 2:16 

For who has known the Lord's mind, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.  

In the bible it refers to our head 360 times, and mentions are mind 96 times. The Lord already knows that the battle starts in our mind first, but then he gives us scriptures to stay out of our mind and to stay in Him. He's such a good Father to us.  There's nothing about getting instructions from your Father, stern loving and, but yet straight to the point! He's a God like that.

I Chronicles 28:9 

As for you Solomon my son know the God of your father and serve him whole heartedly and with a willing mind for the Lord searches every heart and understands the intentions of every thought.

You have to be willing to let go of what you want and your mindset and ask Abba what is it hat you desire of me. God cares about us so much that He's patient enough to wait until we get it right.  As I type I get so excited Abba our God,  and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for laying it out plan so we can get what we need to navigate this life here on earth.

Deuteronomy 30:11 

This command that I give you today is certainly not too difficult or beyond your reach.

Revamping our mind will be hard if we are doing it ourselves, but when we do it with our Lord and savior it will not be difficult or out of our reach, God is saying you have to do it with me. We have to choose if we want to  live a life like Christ and move with Him. 

Deuteronomy 30:19-20

I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that i have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live.

God wants us to choose Him.  He wants our soul salvation. Salvation starts in your mind, you have to revamp your mind in order to see the change in your life

Salvation is deliverance from sin and its consequences. 

Exodus 14:13-14

But Moses said to the people, "Don't be afraid. Stand firm and see the Lord's salvation that he will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you must be quiet. 

Romans 8:21-25

That the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

Paul battled in his mind but when he allowed God in God was able to shift him from where he was.

Change is not impossible when you are walking with the Father, I encourage you to check the way you're  thinking allow God to revamp your mind so you can see what He has for you in this life, like it is in Heaven.

I pray that you were encouraged I pray you will stay focus on the Lord as God continue to show you how big He is!

I love you, but God loves you more

Until next time

Be Blessed.

Eliminate the Middle Man

 Hey Hey 

Welcome back to my blog! 

Listen God is so good and I am at awe on how God is moving continuously and constantly in His children life. Aren't you glad just to be apart of the number I know I am!

Okay so forgive me, God gave me this word a few weeks ago and I have been so delayed with posting, but I has to repent for my delays in getting things out. It's so amazing to know that we serve a forgiving loving God.  

When God gave me this title for my bible studies, I went straight into prayer to get the rest of the message. Can I speak to your spirit? Even when God gives you a name, don't run with the idea or title on your own strength, go back to Him and ask Him to lead you completely through so you are not fishing for the answer. 

Eliminate the Middle Man

Eliminate means to completely remove or get rid of something. Often times we want to take those who's been with us since day one in our next season or even current people, but it is so important to know some roads you have to travel alone. A familiar scripture but one that gravitates to this topic is Matthew 6:33 "We have to see the Father with everything we do. Strive after Him, and allow or ways to line us with his ways. AMP version says,"But first and most importantly seek (aim at strive after) His Kingdom and His righteousness (his way of doing and being right the attitude and character of God) and all these things will be given to you also. 

When we seek God first we will know who is suppose to walk this journey of life with us. Jesus had 12 disciples but He had 3 that were his close circle Matthew, Mark,  and Luke. 

If you read you will see that these 3 apostles have the same story but told from their eye gates. dealing with the woman with the issue of blood. 

Matthew 9:18-22, Mark 5:25-34

In the story with the woman with the issue of blood. She was bleeding for 12 years and had spent all she had. She went to different doctors she spent everything trying to get this health issue under control. Whenever she went out of her house she had to say she was clean! Can you imagine having to walk out your house and announce that you are unclean! Ladies just imagine having to let everyone know that you are on your menstrual cycle every time it comes around. Me personally I would be devastated. The lady with the issue of blood allowed the middle man to be her money the doctors and even her mind, but then she heard about a man name Jesus being  in a near town. Whew it is something special when we know that the Lord is close by! With no hesitation she traveled to get to Jesus, she pressed her way through the crowd to get to the healer, the deliver, the way maker. 

Sometimes Jesus is our last result when He should be our first. Sometimes the middle man can keep us from getting to the ultimate man. When she finally let go of what was holding her back she was able to get to Jesus and be made whole. Jesssssus I love this testimony of this woman of God. She never even touched Jesus she said, "If I could touch the hymns of His garment I will be made whole." She didn't even touch Him, but his clothes, and immediately she was free from something that kept her bond for 12 years.  

Can I tell you, when you allow Jesus to come into your life things began to change immediately. Jesus is so good and such a gentleman, He said "who touched me?" and the disciples said Master all of these people around us and you asked who touched you?" Mind you the woman never touched him but His clothes, but yet our savior knew something has transferred out of Him.  He said "I know because the virtue left out of my body, and the woman fell at Jesus feet, and Jesus said, "Daughter be of good cheer your faith has made you whole. It wasn't in her touch but it was in her faith. 

What is holding up your faith from receiving what you need from God.  This story blessed me so much because it lets us know how to eliminate what keeps us from God. 

I Thessalonians 4:11-12 says , And to make it your ambition to live quietly and peacefully, and to mind your own affairs and work with your hands just as we directed you. So that you will behave properly towards outsiders (exhibiting good character, personal integrity, and moral courage worthy of the respect of the outside world.) and be dependent on no one and in need of nothing (be self supporting)

 You have to learn to eliminate people, places, and things so God can do what He wants through you and around you. In order to live a quiet life you have to eliminate some things that are not for you, but work with your on hands and do what God has called you to do. In order to do those things sometimes you have to stand alone without the crowd. Many times Jesus had to eliminate the crowd in order to do the work.

What's your middle man that's stopping you from getting to your next. 

I encourage you to seek the Father in helping you to remove those things that keep you from seeing what the God has for you. 

I pray that this bless you and I pray that will focus and move on how God wants you to move so that you can experience God like never before. I love you, but God loves you so much more. 

God Is Part II

 Hey Hey! 

Can I just say that God is so good!! Ugh I'm literally obsessed with Him. You know that feeling you get when you see a new born baby, and the first thing you want to do is cuddle them and smell their neck? Yea that's how I feel about God lol. He just so gooooooood! 

I pray you build a relationship with God that is so enriched that you find things that make you want to learn Him, love Him, and follow the plan He has for your life like never before. 

 So last blog we talked about who God is, and I want to finish it up with part II. When God had me focus on some of the names of Him and the stories that back them up in the bible, wheeeeew blessed my whole life. So lets dig into these names:

El Roi "The God who sees me"

Have you ever had a moment where you didn't feel loved by those who you loved. That no matter how much you cared for them or loved them, they didn't see you, or love you how you thought you should be loved. Can  I tell you God is not only a God that first loved us, but He is also a God that sees us too. 

Psalm 139:13-14 reminds us not only did God create us but He always took His time, calling us his marvelous works. 

There's a familiar passage in the bible in Genesis 16:1-15 Sarai and Hagar, now Sarai is married to Abram and she could not have children at the time so she gives Abram her husband permission to be with her maid servant Hagar as the secondary wife. Now i know what you are thinking, why would this woman of God give her husband to another woman. In these times this was acceptable to do if you. Hagar did become pregnant and began to look down on Sarai for not being able to conceive. This frustrated Sarai and she complained to her husband about this. Now Abram informed Sarai that because Hagar was her maid servant she could do what she please with her. Sarai took that and began to treat Hagar horribly, and Hagar young and pregnant ran away. 

The drama was real back then too! Nothing new under the son. Hagar is in the wilderness pregnant with nothing, but then vs 8 the Angel of the Lord appeared to her asking her  Sarai's maid servant, where  did you come from and where are you going?" Can I pause right here, God already knew who she was, but also knew what she was running from.  God not only seen Hagar but she realized He understood her and had compassion for her. Although Hagar was running away God gave her specific instructions, and with those instructions she would receive a blessing. When we understand that God is the one who sees us and He is the one that cares about us we began to share with him how we feel. we have to lay down the feeling of wanting to please others and feel loved by others, but to catch on to how God loves you. God gives us His love first and then send those we need. Daily we have to learn to discern who is for us.

Jehovah Nissi means "The Lord is my banner. As Christians building our relationship with God we don't walk with a physical banner that says "God is banner" but we demonstrate it with how we carry ourselves in this world. we first accept God as our Lord and Savior to allow us the free will to accept Him for ourselves. That's claiming God over us. we trust God not only with worldly battles but spiritual battles as well. Ephesians 6:1-11. Daily we out to try to live a life like Christ. 

Jehovah Shalom "The Lord is Peace 

Peace: freedom from  disturbance tranquility a state or period which there is no war or a war has ended. 

Judges 6:1-24  We learned that we walk with peace but now we are reminded that God is peace. if God is peace that means that peace is in us. God is so amazing, we walk in peace, but we are peace because we are apart of our Father.  In this passage God is showing Gideon I am your way of escape where you feel enslaved to i'm showing you peace is with you as am I. 

God is the great I am. Whatever you need our Lord and Savior for He will be, you just have to trust and believe that God is who He say He is.

I pray this encourage you to lean on God for all things, know that I love yo, but God loves you more. 

God Is Part One

 HEY HEY! 

It has been over two years since I blogged, and my my my it has been a tough two years. However, I am beyond grateful that He is a God that rescues His children. God has been doing such a new thing in me and around me and I always want to help others get closer to the Father. 

The other night I taught a bible studies class and the topic was "God Is." I want to share the notes the Lord gave me to give to them to you.  

My prayer is that you will get an understanding of who God is and began to trust Him as just that, in Jesus Name Amen.

God can be whatever we need Him to be the catch is, do we trust Him to be those things? Often times in prayer we began to question and ask God where is He or why isn't he showing up in this way. Do we know Him to be the things we are asking for or do we only ask these things when it is necessary?

In Genesis 1:1 it says "In the beginning God (Elohim) created (by forming from nothing) the heavens and the earth. (AMP) we see where the earth is formed from nothing God created it with no help and no  suggestion. He is the ultimate creator. (Elohim) God is so dope! He's not only the creator of earth, but to every creation that walks the earth, God created including me and you! Psalm 139-13-18 reminds us that He is the one that formed us in our mother's belly, fearfully and wonderfully made. 

God is our refuge. Refuge is something providing shelter. If I could replace something with God, the definition would be " God is providing shelter." To back up with scripture, Psalm 46:1 says "God is our refuge and strength mighty and impenetrable, a very present and well proved help in trouble (AMP) Not only can God provide shelter in the physical, but He is spiritually letting us know He is our Protector. 

God is a spirit. When you think of a spirit many times we associate it with only the negative side. I want to discuss it based on seeing a gentle and loving spirit which is God.  God is as a spirit. A spirit is the nonphysical parts of a person which is the seat of emotions and character; the soul. Spirit is not only a noun but it is a verb. We know a noun to be a person place or thing. God is all of those things, and more. A verb is used to describe an action, state, or occurrence. God is a God that is omnipresent, He is the beginning and the end. Spirit as a verb means to convey rapidly and secretly. So that means God is a spirit that moves rapidly effectively and He touches our soul.  John  4:24(AMP)says,   "God is spirit the source of life, yet invisible to mankind and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."  I want to go back for a moment, I stated God moves secretly. God is not a God that HAS to hide, but we as people sometimes have to still away to hear feel and sense His voice. Psalm 27:5 says, "For in  the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me. Often times its in our secret place is where we find and hear God's voice and then he begins to moves rapidly in our lives. In order to see God in the spirit we have to deny our flesh and tape n to the Holy Spirit that dwells inside of us. 

We have a lot of spirits that roam the air, but the one that connects to our source of life, lives inside of us. We don't have to tap in to other spirits, the things we try to tap into  often draws us away from the very thing that we are already connected too.The spirit we need to tap into is the spirit that dwells within us.  

I want to give you scriptures to read to give you and understanding:

John 16:1-22 Jesus explains the Holy Spirit to the disciples. 

Romans 8:12-17 reminds us we are not of the flesh. 

God is Abba Father, God tells us he has adopted us into His kingdom, we belong to Him. Sometimes we feel in our suffering in our pain, and in our circumstances that God does not see or is with us, but I want to encourage you back to  vs 17 of Romans 8, " For I consider from the standpoint of faith) that the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us. " 

God gives us a choice to be His children, and when we decide to be His children  we will endure somethings that don't feel good but we will also rejoice in the things that do. 

God is the great Shepherd.  A Shepherd is a person who tends and rear sheep. We are sheep. Sheep don't know their way unless they are led by a good shepherd. Psalm 23:1-6

He is Lord, the definition of Lord is someone or something having power, authority, or influence; a master or ruler. God is the Lord of Lords., there's no one above Him or beneath Him. God has the biggest influence on our life, if we obey His word and His voice.

Savior He is. Savior as a noun means, a person who saves someone or something. The Christianity definition gets straight to the point, it says, Savior is God or Jesus Christ as the redeemer of sin and the savior of our souls. 

Sometimes when life happens and we leave and stop connecting to our source  the enemy begins to play on our mind. We began to feel guilty and put ourselves down on the very things God has already forgiven us for. 

Romans 8:1 AMP "Therefore, there is no condemnation (no guilty verdict, no punishment" for those who are in Christ Jesus ( who believes in Him as personal Lord and Savior.

So I want to encourage your heart to focus on who God is,  meditate on His word and His voice, glen to what He has spoken in His word, trust Him to be exactly who He is. 

Stay encouraged know I love you, but God loves you so much more.
