Praying for Purpose...

This might sound like something I have typed about before in by blog. Somewhere deep down, I know this will not be the last time. I am seeking God for my Destiny. My purpose. One thing I know is that I don't want to leave this world without doing what God put me here to do! I also know that whatever that call is and whatever it entails, whether it be large or small, difficult or easy, therein lies my ultimate peace. I have always maintained and will continue to maintain that if you are in the perfect will of God and doing exactly what He called you to do and you KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW that you were called to do that particular thing...then no one or nothing can move you from that spot. No matter what storm comes against you, if you love the Lord, you WILL STICK AND STAY WITH YOUR ASSIGNMENT. I think many are up and down because they either don't know exactly what their assignment is or they are doing it but have alot of doubt if what they are doing is where God will have them to be. I don't know about you but I don't want to waste my time anymore with what I think and what I feel....pleasing people or just doing something just to be doing it. I WANT MY GOD GIVEN DESTINY AND NOTHING ELSE. It's time out for time wasting. God has given us each a task......seek Him to find out what yours is! Be Blessed!!!

Jesus!! That's It! That's All!

Wow!! I've just come back from our 4 day revival and I'm telling you....I've been revived! God is SOOO Good! You would think that the last night of the revival would've been a shouting, hollering, turning flips in the aisle good time! But, guess what? Tonight was a quiet storm!! It was amazing. I sat in awe and worship of a beautiful, beautiful move of God. God did something so profound tonight that I think if there were people in there that were not connected, they completely missed it. Praise God I didn't. I got it all and am going to meditate on it even more! The Man of God preached Christ and Him Crucified. (I Corin.2: 1,2) Church and the way we've worshipped has become so distorted. So WATERED DOWN. So LIMITED. Seems like there is alot of preaching going on but how much is done on JESUS? What is being said? We hear alot about prosperity and other things but what about the simplicity of just JESUS! Wow! I was BLOWN AWAY and fell in love with Jesus all over again. The way He orchestrated tonight was perfect. I know so many lives were changed on tonight...WOW! Something so simple as the Name of Jesus holds the power to raise the dead, heal your body, heal your mind, heal your soul, solve your problems, save your soul, give you hope, give you peace, love you, care for you, work things our on your behalf....the benefits in that name are LIMITLESS. LET'S GET BACK TO PREACHING JESUS! THAT'S IT! THAT'S ALL!!!! If just that is done...what a mighty FORCE the church would be! BLESS THE LORD!!!!

Motives

A few years back I had an almost constant prayer and that was "Lord, help me to always know my heart's motives." Why? Because I was going through a time in my life that I was questioning motives of people around me and I myself just wanted to be REAL. With that said..Let me ask you a few of the questions that I ask myself(because I still do). "Why are you doing this?" "What is the TRUE reason?" (Remember, yesterday I said that I often tell my children and myself "To thine own self be true." If you can't be real with yourself.....HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!) What is the real reason why we do some of the things we do? To impress? To please? To be mean? To get pats on the back? To be seen of Man? Why? Are we getting close to him or her to get them to trust you so you can be nosy? So you can undermine and deceive? Stab in the back? Get ahead? Make ourselves look bigger or better than what we really are? Do we ever stop to ask ourselves that question remembering that God knows our TRUE motives? Do we remember that He is a discerner of hearts? Do we check ourselves when we know our motives are not pure? Man looks on the outer appearance but our Heavenly Father looks at our hearts!!! Man might sometimes reward you for what they think is a "good deed" but God won't always do so.....WHY? Because He knows the REAL DEAL!!

So, the thought for today is "Seen of Man or Seen of God?"

Called to the Carpet!!

I had a wonderful day today. As I sat at my desk I had to smile because I was thinking of my girls and then my thoughts switched to how I "call them to the carpet" when they've done something wrong or when they have an attitude that is not right. Sometimes they will deny that the problem is there when I know better!! I realize they just don't want to face the truth or accept their wrong so they try to hide it! So, my favorite thing to say to them is "It is never good to lie at all but it's even worse to lie to yourself!!" Then I will follow up with the quote (I don't know who said this...) "TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE!" Anyway, I said all of that to say this.....Isn't that how God does us??? We know when we're wrong! When our attitudes stink and we've wronged someone! And even if we don't and the Holy Spirit "calls us to the carpet" about it ...there is no need to hide it or pretend it's not there! "TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE!" God knows and He just wants us to see our sin like He sees it so we can repent and move on.....

Be Blessed!

Filthy Rags!!

What an AWESOME GOD we serve!!! I've been thinking of the scripture "What is Man that thou art mineful of him!" Psalm 8:4. Think about that thang for a minute!! I have thought about it ALOT lately. God can not be contained. He is bigger and better and greater than ANYTHING we could EVER imagine...YET...He thinks of us, He loves us..He CARES for us...! Even though our righteousness is as filthy rags...we are still vessels that can carry HIS ANOINTING...HIS HOLY SPIRIT!!! He has made US...US...with our self-righteous..prideful...messed up selves a little lower than the ANGELS!! THINK ABOUT THAT!!! DO YOU SEE THE MERCY OF GOD IN THAT???!!! I DO!!! And I thank God for His unlimited GRACE!!!

Lord, in the Name of Jesus...FORGIVE US for even THINKING more of ourselves than what we are!!! Deliver us from OURSELVES and help us to be humble. Help us to get a revelation that will change our entire lives of just how GREAT YOU ARE and how we are NOTHING WITHOUT YOU!!! Help us to be vessels of Love and always conscious that you are ever present watching everything we do...in Jesus Name...AMEN!!!

A Wonderful Revelation!

Have you ever known something but the Holy Spirit brings it back to your remembrance and gives it such clarity that it almost knocks you off your feet??? Well, that happened to me last night AND I praise God because He allowed me to share it with someone today and I believe to His Glory that it helped her.
We are children of God, right? We believe that He is on our side, right? Then, why do we worry?? Especially after we've prayed and told him all about it. Last night I was moving about in my room (or was it this morning?? (smile)) when I thought about my Heavenly Father. A peace came over me and I just knew everything was going to be alright. Somehow, someway, we can testify to it...God ALWAYS works situations out for our good. Always!!! But, between the beginning of the problem and the solution, we allow so much to come in that keeps us from peace!! WHY? All we have to do is to think back on how God has made ways in the past and how things always worked out and apply it to our current situation....Different situation...SAME GOD!! When that thought hit me this morning...all my worries went away. I put it all in His hands FOR REAL and walked away from it. I trust Him with it and I'm going to ENJOY THE TIME BETWEEN THE BEGINNING OF THE PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION GOD WILL GIVE ME!! PRAISE HIM!!!

A Peaceful Day and Some Changes Coming!

Today has been a wonderful, quiet and peaceful day. I thank God for it. Usually, during the weekend the hours just seem to go by so fast! But, today, I noticed that for me...time taried. I did not feel rushed, pressured, oppressed, worried...It has been and will continue to be a wonderful day! Praise God!

I feel so much better...but guess what?? A sister is about to start working out again!! I'm noticing those pounds coming back! My clothes are not fitting like they used to. Gotta get back to work! I have allowed myself to 'let loose' a little these past few weeks because I KNOW that it's about to be on and popping!! The girls are out for the summer and I've noticed that they've gained a few pounds...MAMMA IS NOT HAVING IT!! I ordered us a fun work out kit and I can't wait until it comes! Every evening after work we will be doing it TOGETHER!! I refuse to put back on all the weight that I've lost! I am actually excited about getting moving again.....LOOK OUT!!!!

Still in the battle.......

Wow!! I haven't written for several days! My last post was about my car. To God Be the Glory it is sitting in the driveway and I give God praise! HE truly worked everything out in our favor.
For the last 2 or 3 days, I have been sick so I give God praise for the strength to even sit here and look at this computer! (smile)24 hours ago, it was wouldn't have been so! I bind all the backlash of satan in the Name of Jesus!! We must realize that he is ALWAYS looking for ways to get in. As soon as things started working out with the car I was sticken with a terrible migraine and nausea. From the left side of my head, all behind my eye all the way into my neck and shoulders ached! It was a constant throbbing that got worse with the slightest movement. Yesterday the pain spread on the right side of my neck as well and I could not turn my head without pain and I felt as if I were on a 'cloud of pain'. No medicine that I took seemed to work so I just prayed and tried my best to just rest before the Lord. I know He has ALL things in control. That leads me to say what I'm about to say.....some of the blessings that God gives us, He doesn't allow the enemy to even touch!! He is not permitted to put his hands on it! I believe this angers him and he tries to 'lash' out in other areas whether its us personally or a family member, etc. We must always be on the battle field and aware of our spiritual surroundings. God is sending several breakthroughs to my family, the flood gates are opening in the Name Of Jesus and I praise Him for it!! I FEEL the breakthru on the horizon but I feel warfare rising but I PRAISE GOD THAT I'M STILL IN THE BATTLE!!! I'm not a casualty, I have not run scared and I've not been so wounded that they have to send me back home! I have my weapons and I am ARMED with the Word of God and FAITH!!! IN THE END....I WIN..in Jesus Name! We must ALL have this attitude. I might have been 'hit' but it did not take me out and I thank God for His Grace and Mercy and the season of rest and prosperity that is about to come!

PRAISE GOD!!

I HAVE A NEW CAR!!! (I just need to go pick it up! LOL!) The color and model we wanted was not in stock but TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!! Hopefully I will be able to go pick it up tomorrow. We watched God work out every detail of our day!! PRAISE GOD!!! HE truly answers prayer! I am soooo excited!!

Hmmmm......

I didn't get a chance to write yesterday...I'm sitting here now praying on what to write today. My car has been acting up and it's been taken to the shop twice and they told me both times that there was NOTHING wrong with it! HUH? It went to a shop in knightdale and one in Rocky Mount so it wasn't the same shop. Wow. Nothing wrong. I was told to just drive it until it "stopped" or got so bad that I could bring it back and maybe THEN it will show a code...uh...huh? I was told that it MIGHT need a part that would cost $350 but they were not sure whether or not that was even the problem. I've been dealing with the issue for months now and it has gotten worse. So, do I drive it until it stops and then have the expense of getting it towed? Naw..THAT WILL NOT BE MY PORTION IN JESUS NAME!!! Then, a few days ago, my remote to it stopped working. My car was acting crazy. It was beeping in the driveway and no one had even touched the keys! LOL. It would lock all of a sudden and it would just flash and just act POSSESSED! Well, I was told the remote might need a battery. Went to radio shack, brought a battery....yep. you guessed it. STill isn't working....something deeper is wrong. i didn't buy a battery for the other remote. It didn't need one. I took it out and tried it and that didn't work either...so, the problem was not the battery. I'm thinking...OK God. Are you showing me its time to get rid of this car???? I'm trusting Him! I will not be afraid to go to a dealership and drive away with something dependable! I serve a GOOD God that supplies ALL of my needs according to His riches in Glory!!!! I guess I said all of that to say this...STOP LIMITING GOD!! He is so much bigger than the box we put Him in!!! Now, am I going to continue to drive up and down the road with my 2 daughters waiting for my car to break down or am I going to take my behind to a dealership and believe God to make a way for me?? Dealership.....HERE I COME!! I was also reminded of what a friend said a few weeks back. She was talking about her vehicle. She said that God TOLD her to trade her car. But, she didn't. Looking at the physical and questioning herself. The car has given her problems ever since!! She has put so much money in it! Her advice before she even knew what was going on was when God tells you something or puts in your heart something to do....JUST DO IT!! Let's stop limiting God. It shows a lack of faith. Let's trust Him with our whole heart and move forward to receive our blessings!!

The Rain!

I am sitting here at my computer doing some work and just listening to the rain. It sounds so relaxing...so gentle. It has been so, so very dry lately. A few of my trees and flowers in the yard were looking kinda weak! That got my mind thinking on another level. So many times in our lives we just feel weak...drained. For whatever the reason, we begin to feel as if our strength is almost gone. Our spirit seems to be getting low because we're not getting in the Word like we should or just issues of LIFE come and "things" kinda chip away at our strength. But, our God is faithful. He is such a GOOD DADDY!! He KNOWS what we stand in need of and He will supply it. Whenever I see a steady, quiet rain like this, I always think of "rejuvenation" or "a fresh outpouring". I can almost hear the flowers and greenery in my yard sigh with relief and give Glory to God for the rain!! So, my soul does the same when my Heavenly Father replenishes and renews my strength! I PRAISE HIM today!!! Thank you Lord for the RAIN!!!

I LOVE LIFE!!

I've heard unsaved people say that they don't want to get saved because a Christian's life if boring! Wow! What a MYTH!! That's a lie of the enemy! Truly, once you give your life to Christ, that's when it gets good!! Not only do you get assurance of Eternal Life as you stay with Christ but you also get to cultivate a loving, relationship with God!! WOW!! What is boring about THAT?? Your life is filled with purpose and your eyes are opened up to another realm of Godly opportunities that are Limitless in God! NOTHING is impossible for Him! Why not serve Him? Everyday is a different day because as you yield your life to Him, He is steady changing us and growing us and wooing us closer to Him! We get to seek Him and know Him and learn of His ways! As we draw closwer to Him, He begins to show us more of Himself! HEY! IF YOU'RE NOT SAVED...YOU'RE MISSING OUT!!! THIS IS WHERE IT'S AT!!! Don't let the devil fool you!! Drinking, hanging out at clubs, gangs, fornication....ALL of those things can KILL you BOTH SPIRITUALLY AND PHYSICALLY! Everyday without Him is dangerous.....But, with Him, you get ETERNAL LIFE. The BEST LIFE THERE IS!!!

Wow. I am reading the most AWESOME book......"Holy Discontent" by Bill Hybels. AWESOME. Sometimes we go through things and if we were to talk to anyone else about it, sometimes, they don't understand.. you wonder if you're alone. But, then God will lead you to a certain person, a tv show, a song, scripture or even a book where it so mirrors what you're going through that you could've written it yourself. PRAISE GOD!!! To anyone out there who feels no one understands...someone does. Not only God does but there is nothing new under the sun. Someone has been there and if you keep trusting and seeking God, He will lead you right to the answer that you seek!!! PRAISE GOD!!!

The Limitless Lady.....

A while back I had a dream. In the dream it was if I was looking down at a dam. One side of the dam was full of water. The other side of the dam was dry as a bone. On the dry side a person stood looking at the dam. Then, the person began to PRAY, PRAISE AND SPEAK THE WORD OF GOD to the dam. As the person continued to do so, I began to see cracks appear in the wall and water began to seep through on the dry side. The more the person prayed, praised and spoke the Word of God to the wall, the more water seeped through. I woke up and instantly praised God. The water represented the blessings, peace and the things that we desire from the Lord. The dam represented the thing or things that keep us from the flow the blessings. As the person who was on the dry side began to Stand in Faith, Seek God by Praying, Praising Him and Speaking His Word to the dam, the blessings began to seep through. The more the person did this, the bigger the cracks became. I PRAISE GOD for giving me this dream!!! Now, put YOURSELF in the place of "the person" and read this again and SPEAK to EVERY HINDERANCE IN YOUR LIFE by faith and watch God MOVE!!!

WOW!! I haven't updated my blog in a long time. I have ALOT going on! GOD IS GOOD!! He is truly doing some awesome things and I give Him ALL the Glory for it! A few years ago, I was driving home for lunch and I was talking to the Lord. It was cold out. I remember asking Him for "spiritual rain" (Blessings). As I continued to just talk to Him, I thought about snow. Most likely because it was so cold, I thought about physical rain and if it did PHYSCIALLY rain, it would be snow...(go figure, this was my thought process) Out of my spirit, I heard "It's ALREADY SNOWING". I looked around me and the earth was bone dry and I remember being baffled...already snowing? Then, I thought about snow. Now, I'm no meterologist but I've heard them say many, many times over the years that the atmosphere has to be JUST RIGHT before it to snow. It's a tricky thing. Also, snow is actually falling sometimes hours before it "hits the ground"!! WOW. So, as I begin to think more and more on this I only could give God more praise. Things began to make sense! I began to get a revelation of what was said to me. I began to praise the Lord. I can't recall the word that meterologist use but I'm going to say "upper levels of the atmosphere". Anyway, I've heard them say that the upper atmosphere has to be saturated with this snow until it drops the temperature just right for it to begin to be seen falling with our eyes. This made me think of the blessings of God. He is pouring them out. They are on the way but the atmosphere has to be right before things are MANIFESTED....WHOA!!! DID YOU CATCH THAT??? AWESOME!!! I PRAISE GOD FOR THE REVELATION. As I continue to walk IN FAITH toward my destiny and set the atmosphere around me to receive, His promises and BLESSINGS WILL BE MANIFESTED IN MY LIFE.
