Woman of God

Image
  I am the woman that God called me to be. I am proud, and I know that this is my Father’s temple. I honor God with my heart, mind, body, and soul. I stand in the mist of the world hungry and thirsty for the living God. I am saying no to depression, sin, addiction, and abuse. In God’s eyes I am worth more than silver and gold. Even though I was told that I would never amount to anything. I was at the end of the line, and the bottom of the barrel. Now God is getting ready to make me the head and not the tail. He is getting ready to raise up a nation that will obey. He is getting ready to restore his original plan for the family. God is getting ready to raise up women who will be strong in the Lord. Even in the last days we can stand up, and shout. In a time such as this we can be a strong and vibrant people. Women of God it is time to take back what is ours. Self respect, self worth, and self esteem. I know you have been broken, and you have be

A Beacon of Hope

Lately I have been caught up in a world of obligations.  With school in full swing I have been sticking to the old routine.  The children think that the chore wheel is an instrument of punishment, and I see it as a gift.  Menus hang on the kitchen wall, and I have a file of all my recipes.  The dryer is constantly humming, and the washer is cleaning yesterday's laundry.  Did I mention that the hedges need trimming, and the leaves have started to fill the yard.  The best thing about the beginning of a new season are the colors of the leaves.  My yard is full of colorful leaves. My children and I are learning from each other.  They have taught me some valuable lessons in the simplest ways.  I believe that children will learn from their environment.  In my home we talk a lot about God, and the importance of His commandments.  I try to lead by example, and have learned that my kids will follow.  One of the greatest lessons that they can learn is to let their lights shine. Matthew 5

Psalm 99 and A Prayer

The Lord reigns Let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake Great is the Lord in Zion; He is exalted over all the nations Let them praise your great and awesome name he is holy The King is mighty, he loves justice you have established equity in Jacob you have done what is just and right Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool he is holy Moses and Aaron were among his priest Samuel was among those who called on his name they called on the Lord and he answered them He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud they kept his statues and decrees he gave them Lord our God You answered them You were to Israel a forgiving God though you punished their misdeeds Exalt the Lord our God and worship at this holy mountain for the Lord our God is holy Psalm99 NIV       Father God I thank you for today You are the Great I am You are Alpha and Omega You are Elohim and Yahweh You ar

The Great Jehovah God

This is a beginning of a brand new week, and I am looking forward to each new day that will bless me with.  I keep saying new, because God is starting to make all things new in my life.  In my mind I keep thinking about 2nd Corinthians 5:17.  The scripture says "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come; The old has gone, the new is here!"  This scripture contains such a strong message, and it has been in my spirit for some time now. God is a big God, and God is a mighty God.  He is not  God of small power.  HE is Omnipotent, and HE is capable of all things.  We should not place limits on God, because he is a God of perfect timing.  He is the great I am , and Jehovah Jireh.  God is Jehovah Rapha, and Jehovah Nissi.  God is a shelter in the storm, and a light in dark places.  God is Jehovah Rohi, and Jehovah Shammah.  He is bread for the hungry.  God is water in dry places, and He is Jehovah Tsidkenu.  God can be whatever you need.  Glory to God HE is a st

A NEW SEASON

  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ the new creation has come: The old is gone, the new is here." 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV       Father God thank you for the weekend.  As I look back over the week I can say that I have been truly blessed.  The children made it through another week of school, and my week was very productive.  I think that I have earned the right to relax on this day.  I am taking this time to thank the Lord for what he has done for me.  When I contemplate on the past I can see exactly where God has brought me from, and I can be thankful that I am not what I used to be.   Before I let my mind rest I just wanted to say that all things are becoming new.  The old things are starting to pass away, and change is imminent.  I know all things are becoming new in my life.  The Holy Spirit has been dealing with me on a new season, and I am glad to say goodbye to the things of the past.  What can I gain if I am stuck in my former life?  That will not bring my vis

IN THE FATHER'S HANDS

The weather was beautiful and all I could hear were voices Soft whispers in the breeze tickled my ears drums Apple blossoms were spinning in the air like ballerinas dancing on the stage The sun was shining high in the air The clouds were blue like the ocean Everything was calm and warm and peace succumbed me in every way The sky was clear and all was inviting That is when I realized that everything was in my Father's hands In Him I have found rest for my weary soul Because he loves me I can let go of all my personal baggage I can be free from all my pain I can open my wings and fly I can let my heart heal and be free from the past I can accept myself for who I am And I can be all that God called me to be I can finally find closure Forgetting the mistakes that I have made It is in my Father's hands now Like an eagle I can fly above Hurt Shame Guilt Mistakes Failures Disappointments Trouble Thank you Fathe

MY PERSONAL TIME WITH GOD

Image
Life as a mom can be very busy.  There are children that need you twenty four hours a day.  Laundry that needs to be washed daily, and a house that has to be cleaned.  I did not mention the list of chores that has to be completed during the week.  For most of us life can get a little out of control. Every now and again we need to breathe and relax.  At some point during my busy day I need to take a break.  A moment where I can spend some time with my Father.  This quality time can be first thing in the morning, or it can be an afternoon prayer during lunch.  The important thing is taking time to (commune) communicate with God.  Having a personal relationship with the Father is vital in our Christian walk.  Just knowing Him on a persona level can bring a peace of mind.  Even when the day is overwhelming God's presence can have a calming affect. There are many ways to communicate with God.  Prayer, worshipping through music, or just talking with the Father.  Whatever way you ha

God's Perfect Timing

It is so important that we identify with God ,and what he wants for our lives. Doing the will of God is the most important thing in my life. To know that I have a purpose has given life more meaning. I know that God has me here for a reason. That reason is His divine purpose. God did not design us just to exist on the earth. When he formed me in my mother's womb he had a specific plan in mind. God has a time for everything. We all know that life can be short, and we should place value on every second. I am ready to do all that God has called me to do. There is a time and a place for everything. God has only given us one life. It is vital that we not waste our time that we have here on earth. I will seek the kingdom of God until I have done everything that he has planned for me. Until next time may the Lord bless you with peace and prosperity. There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens a time to be born and a time to die

The Importance of Being A Role Model

Image
When I look at the world that we live in I have to ask myself some questions.  As a mother should I be strict on my children, or give them a little freedom?  As a Christian parent should I allow the kids to watch all cartoons?  Do certain celebrities have an impact on my children's lives?  These are just a few of the questions that I ask myself each day.  As a mom what should I do? With so much new technology children have a chance to access anything from any location.  I think that media plays an important role in what children are viewing and hearing.  With the click of a button they can see anything on the Internet.  One touch of the remote, and kids are looking at all kinds of music videos.  Is all this media really healthy for developing minds? The other day my daughter was watching a music video of a very famous singer.  She looked at me, and said she wanted to be just like her.  Immediately I asked her what she liked about the singer.  She said "Mommy the singer is

Children Are Blessings

Children are blessings from God I thank the Lord every day For letting my little angels Come down this way They fill my heart with joy Each time they smile God I thank you for each one They all have different personalities And they all do different things Nothing can compare to the joy they will bring I am more than happy to be a mother One of the greatest joys in my life I am glad that God has chosen me for this assignment I can not imagine my life Without my kids!!           "Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from Him.  Like arrows in the hand of the warrior are children born in one's youth.  Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.  They will not be put to shame.  When they contend with their opponents in court."  Psalm127:3-5 NIV   I believe that children are gifts from God.  I am glad to be called into the ministry of youth evangelism.  In this world children need to know Jesus Christ, and

ALL BY FAITH

  Hebrews 10:38 "But my righteous one will live by faith, and I take no pleasure in the one that shrinks back."   Romans 3:28 "For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law."   Matthew 17:20 "He replied. Because you have so little faith.  Truly I tell you if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move.  Nothing will be impossible for me."   James 2:17 "In the same way, faith by itself if it is not accompanied by action is dead."   Galatians 2: 20 "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.  The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."     Faith is the substance of all things hoped for It could be the desires that we have in pure heart Faith is having total confidence in someone Trusting and believing i

Reflections

Lord I will take this time To reflect on all the things that you have done for me This past week has been wonderful You have provided all of my needs Making me thankful and grateful that I am in your presence You are God and the Creator Father God I will bless your name at all times As I rest on this day My prayer is to reflect and be thankful For my family, friends, and life     "Praise the Lord O my soul.  O Lord my God you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.  He wraps himself in light as with a garment; He stretches out the heavens like a tent.  and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.  He makes the clouds His chariot and rides on the wings of the wind."  Psalm 104:1-3   Each day that we live is a great blessing.  Each morning is a new beginning, and I am thankful to this beautiful day.  Until next time may the Lord richly bless you with peace and prosperity.

Love

Romans 13:8-10 says" Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever love others have fulfilled the law.  The commandments you shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet, or whatever other command: "Love thy neighbor as yourself"  Love does no harm to a neighbor.  Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." God has called all of us to love one another.  It is a law that every human is obligated to fulfill.  Not only should we love one another, but we should have respect for our fellow man.  The world is made up of all kinds of people, and we are all different in many ways.  Over the years I have learned that we all have different points of view.  Different views on religion, beliefs, and life in general.  No matter how many differences we have God still expects us to fulfill the law of loving each other. Even in the mist of the world's problems it is still possible

Jesus

There is a sound in the name of Jesus. It is something about the way I feel when I call that name There is a comforting emotion when it comes to Him My heart is full of joy when I mention my Father People often ask me How can you have so much devotion for Jesus? HE gave His life So that I could have the gift of salvation HE came so that I could have a more abundant life HE became poor for my sake So that I may be rich HE is my strength When I am weak I can trust Him with my life I can believe in all that he has said I admire Him because HE is Jesus His ministry was real He died on the cross And now he lives again Thank you Jesus For your infinite love You are my Savior King of kings Lord of lords

CHALLANGES AND TRUST

  I have placed my trust in the Lord, because I know that God is not like man that he shall lie. Whatever God says will come to pass. It is written in His word that "in hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time." Titus 1:2 We do not have to fear when we place our trust in the Lord. It is only when we have doubt that God can not work in our situation. By daily confession I am learning and believing for what God wants me to have. Faith is the substance of all things hoped for, and the desires that we have in our hearts. By our faith God can come and grant us those desires according to His will. By our faith he can work in our situations, and our circumstances. Psalms 16:1 says "Keep me safe my God for in you I take refuge." I believe that God is an ever present help in the time of trouble. I can believe his word, and I know that he can make a way in every situation. God is the King of kings, and the Lord

A Psalm of David

I will sing of your love and justice to you, Lord I will sing my praise I will be careful to lead a blameless life when will you come to me?   I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless heart  I will not look with approval on anything that is vile   I hate what faithless people do I will have no part in it The perverse of the heart shall be far from me I will have nothing to do with what is evil   Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret I will put to silence whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart I will not tolerate  My eyes will be on the faithful in the land that they may dwell with me the one whose walk is blameless will minister to me   No one who practices deceit will dwell in my house no one who speaks falsely will stand in my presence  Every morning I will put to silence all the wicked in the land I will cut off every evil doer from the city of the Lord Psalm 101   It is by God's mercy and

Give God Praise and Never Give Up

Praise the Lord Praise God in His sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his for his surpassing greatness Praise him with the sounding of a trumpet praise him with a harp and lyre praise him with tremble and dancing praise him with the strings and pipes praise him with the clash and cymbals praise him with the sounding cymbals Let everything that has breath praise the Lord Praise the Lord  Psalm 150     My first rule is to never give up on myself, and to always have faith in God.  In this life I know that challenges will come, but during these times I can trust in God to see me through.  When we say that I can do all things through Christ we are claiming victory in all aspects of our lives.  In all that I have done I have noticed that God is there during every victory and defeat.  It is a known fact that people will not always be there in your corner, but we will always have a friend in Jesus Christ.

Thankful

God thank you for the ability to create Thank you for the vision That you have placed inside of me For all the hope that you have provided For every storm that I have survived I know that my future is bright God has given me the power To be healed To be well To be successful To live a good life Father I praise you for all your love and joy that you have given unto me Thank you for your Son Jesus That died on the cross For me to have the gift of salvation Glory to God For another day     Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what Gods' will is- his good, pleasing and perfect will.  Romans 12:2  There are no limits when it comes to Jesus Christ.  I can do all things through Christ.  Today I am thankful to God for His word.  It will bring life, peace and joy.  May the Lord bless you with peace and prosperity.

A Blessing to the People

Blessed are all who fear the Lord who walk in obedience to him You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table Yes this will be the blessing for the man that fears the Lord. May the Lord bless you from Zion may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life May you live to see your children's children- peace be to Israel Psalm 128            In John 10:10 it says that "The enemy comes to steal, and to kill, and to destroy."  But the Bible says that it was Jesus that came to bring life more abundantly.  That means that Jesus came to bring peace, hope, good health, and wealth to those that believe in Him.  It does not say that we have to live a life of defeat and mediocrity.  The power has been granted through the Holy Spirit for us to achieve our goals.  As believers w

Hope In a dying World

In some parts of the world many people are dying.  The very things that we may take for granted are the things that someone else may need to survive.  Something as simple as a plate of food, or a cup of water.  I was watching television last night, and I saw a commercial that touched my heart.  A group of small children were huddled around a water well.  They were holding cups waiting for a glass of fresh water.  I could tell that they were thirsty, and in need of a cool drink.  The missionary said that some people walk seven miles just to obtain water for that day. I thank God for providing all of my needs, and I pray that he will provide for them as well.    Blessed are those who have regard for the weak the Lord delivers them in times of trouble The Lord protects and preserves them they are counted among the blessed of the land he does not give them over to the desires of their foes The Lord sustains them on their sick bed and restores them from their illness. Psa

Psalms 23 and The Blessings of the Lord

The Lord is my Shepard, I lack nothing HE makes me lie down in green pastures He leads me beside quiet waters he refreshes my soul HE guides me along the right paths for His name's sake Even though I walk Through the darkest valley I will fear no evil for you are with me; Your rod and your staff they comfort me You prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies You anoint my head with oil my cup overflows Surely your love and goodness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.     We are a very blessed generation. God wants to do so much for us, and release all that he has for His people.  I believe that we have the ability to do all things.  No matter what you are going through God has all things in control.   Be glad and rejoice in the Lord.  Until next time may the Lord richly bless you.    

I WIll Honor the Lord

I will praise the Lord With a glad and proud voice God is the Lord And he is worthy of all my praise I will sing a song of worship To the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob God is the Creator heaven and earth I will lift my voice to praise the Lord Holy is the King O Most High God He is my portion An ever present help In my time of trouble The Lord is my God On him I can depend No matter the circumstances I can call on the Lord Even when my mother and father have forsaken me I can call on my God Thank you Lord for all of your love I am blessed to know the Lord HE gave His one and only Son For the sake of all mankind Honor and praise is for the Lord
