Prayer Answering God!

God is SOOO concerned about us!!! Yesterday I went through a hard "patch" and I had to fight and pray my way through. At that particular time I had not said anything to anyone but God about my struggle. It was ROUGH. My feelings were hurt so I cried a little and I prayed and then I began to proclaim the Word and not back down from what I KNOW God called me to do!!! I left it alone and went on but I sought God on whether or not I was in the right position and doing the right thing. This morning as I sat at my desk I got an unexpected call from A Woman of God (actually 2) that spoke to the VERY THING that I had battled against the previous day!! God blessed me and let me know how very much He cares for me. Yeah, we know God loves us but it sure feels good when He shows up and shows up like He does!!! For Example: WE can be married and we know our hubby/wife loves us but when they bring home flowers or chocolates or a beautiful card...that just makes you feel GOOD!! Extra Special and that's how I felt today. I LOVE YOU LORD!!! Thank you for being a prayer answering God!!

To Speak or Not To Speak...That is the Question!

God dealt with me about an issue this weekend and it was to speak or not to speak regarding a certain issue. We simply must pray and listen to the Holy Spirit when He guides us to open up our mouths about something God has shown us REGARDLES of the backlash and what people may think. Now, some people will say, and I've heard these words..."You should keep your mouth closed and just pray." Or "When God gives you something to say, if it's in the right timing, that person won't even get mad." Now, both of these may be true IN SOME INSTANCES, but you better know that sometimes when God requires us to open up our mouths and speak people won't like it!! Think about Jesus when He walked the earth. People were so mad that He was calling our their sin that they plotted to kill Him and sought to stone Him countless times!! When God shows us an area that concerns us and especially when He shows us the enemies plot, you better believe He wants us to open our mouths against the enemy AND be in prayer! I'm so thankful for God opening up my eyes to this situation because the enemy WILL NOT WIN. God revealed him and let me know that I needed to be alert and ready to war. And, through Him, victory is assured. So, seek God, hear Him and when He requires you to speak...OPEN YOUR MOUTH. I did this today and no, the person did not like what I was saying but I knew it was the truth and I knew that it had to be done. So, I take the backlash with peace. One thing I do know is that God is with me.

Thankful!!

Today I am just THANKFUL for the little things as well as the big things. I'm just all around, deep down in my soul...THANKFUL! God is good! This morning I came downstairs and for about an hour I just sat, not doing anything but just being THANKFUL. I wasn't praying, praising, meditating, I was just BEING. BEING thankful, BEING quiet. BEING at rest and it was GOOD.

Later on I decided to take my two daughters and my 3neices who had spent the night, out for a while and then I had planned to meet their dad to drop them off. Well, I got about 5 miles away and the alarm came on in my car saying my tire pressure was low! i pulled over and got out and my right back tire was whisling b/c the air was rushing out! It was rainy and cold and I have no CLUE how to change a tire!! So, I turned around and coasted back home praying that my tire would not go completely flat b/c i knew that I couldn't drive on my rim and I had 5 girls in my car and it was cold and rainy outside! As soon as I got back home, I came in, made a call. when I walked back outside my tire was completely flat! Wow! Just in time! God is good!

then, when I called ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, I was told that tire repairs was not covered under my plan! WHAT? The number one problem on the roadside is TIRES! So, I had to pay. $85 and about 1hr 1/2 later, my tire was plugged and fixed. It was too late to go anywhere so I came on back in my house, put my pj's on and relaxed.

I guess I said all that to say this...although my day didn't go as I planned...I am thankful that we got home before we were stranded on the side of the road waiting for roadside asst. I am thankful that I had the $85 dollars to get everything fixed, even though my plan didn't cover it and I had to wait for him to get here. I am thankful now that everything is fixed and I could wait safely with the girls at home. So,I was thankful over the small things. I didn't get done what I needed to do...but hey, I got back home and got back in my PJ's and relaxed on my couch and the girls are able to play with their cousins longer.

I really think my day went as smoothly as it and I didn't overract and panic like possible b/c I had that quiet time to reflect on just being THANKFUL and knowing that it does not always have to be my way or go the way that we planned. Just be THANKFUL over even the smallest of things, be flexible and stop being hard on yourself. All things work together for our good.

I guess

Dance, Dance, Dance!!

I posted on my facebook page this evening a small part of MaryMary's song. It says "Maybe you don't understand why I gotta dance. There was something that had me bound but it's over now! Imma throw my hands up, wave 'em all in the air, cause all I wanna do is dance, dance dance!!" Praise God!! When I think about that song.. I wonder...when exactly do you dance? When you SEE the deliverance OR when you BELIEVE DELIVERANCE? It's not always the same thing! See, when we are delivered from something, the evidence of it might not be right then but in FAITH on who God says He is..Well, we need to dance then!! It might not be an all out run but if you even tap yo' feet with BELIEF that you are healed, THAT is accounted as faith. So saints...I'm tapping my feet, praising God, raising my hands and smiling because BY FAITH...those things that had me bound are OVER NOW. I choose to be free based on the Word of God that says I'm free! What about you? Let's stop giving the enemy so much glory and Glorify God so the enemy can be defeated!

Power HAS Changed Hands!!!

God has been doing so many things this week that He has blown my mind!! Earlier this week a friend of mine sent an email asking if I would like to attend a "Power Must Change Hands" service this morning. 9am. Well, it was not at her church or my church and I am often very WARY about attending other churches without prayer but when I read her email, something pulled in my spirit. The last time I felt this, God did something MIGHTY. So, well, I prayed about it but the feeling in my belly did not change and He truly did something mighty today! So much confirming Word came forth...all that God had put in my spirit all week had prepared me for this morning. I love Him!! He is SOO wonderful!! Look out!! Manifestation times ARE HERE. Look OUT for my testimonies!!!

David

Wow. God is so awesome! As we travel on our journey through this life, we are going to make some mistakes. It's inevitable. When we are in Christ, we repent and go but one thing the devil wants us to do is to hold on to mistakes so he can bring condemnation upon us. Even when we repent and God has forgotten all about it, the enemy is relentless in continuously bringing our mistake up in our face. Here is where we must diligently fight with the Word of God and always walk in the security of who God is and who we are in Him. God is so awesome and I love Him so much b/c all this week He has been showing me and teaching me what MY identity is IN HIM. One thing about David is that through ALL the mistakes He made, he always stuck to God and ALWAYS remembered WHO he was and WHOSE he was. There was no doubt whatsoever with him! Sometimes the enemy will play on our minds and emotions so much that we will begin to doubt our status with God. Wait! He Loves us and just because we mess up, like all along God knew we would do, that does not change who and what He called us to be, our destiny or assignment. Who He called us to be before we were even formed in our mother's wombs. Always remember who you are in God!! That was one thing about DAvid. He remained steadfast concerning WHO he was in GOD. I was in the bath tonight and that word popped in my spirit again. STEADFAST. wow. I'm going to meditate on that. Many times in the Word, DAvid was depressed or felt down. Most of that was because of how his sin distanced him from God and how he felt disconnected from him but NEVER because He doubted his position in God. That wasn't pride, it was just his confidence and security in God. wow. That is profound. (oh, and the other reason why I feel like he felt this way is because Saul just wouldn't leave him alone!!! LOL) Just a little humor but I'm going to mediatate on David. The example of his life brought me to a deeper understanding today. Thank you Jesus!

God Has Done It Again!

Wow!! God is so awesome! There is nothing or no one that compares to Him. He has come again today and confirmed Himself yet again! He have me a good talking to this morning and I'm loving Him for it. He is such an on time God. Once again, it is WAIT. Now, I will be honest, I don't wait well. I hate to wait. I'm the Let's Go...Let's get on with it GIRL! LOL!! It is hard for me to tarry and wait for anything but I tell you, this must be one lesson that the Lord wants me to learn! On prayer call this morning, the woman of God spoke of God saying wait on Him and to things His way and not our own way. When I got to work and pulled up my devotion from today....same thing. God said through His servants that all His promises are Yes and Amen and we need to rest in the assurance that even though it seems like we have been waiting a long time for God's promises to come to pass, His Word does NOT come back void! It will accomplish ALL that He sent it, no matter what our natural eyes see! God is further confirming what He said to me yesterday. His timing! His way..not ours!! HE IS GOOD!!! We just need to remain faithful to Him. We cannot let go of Hope no matter what. My prayer is that I REST in Him. That I stop feeling 'imagined' pressure and ENJOY THE JOURNEY, which is what God wants us to do!! Enjoy the Journey!! PRAISE GOD.
