Just thinking out loud again....I am always so vexed in my spirit, when I hear such cruel words spoken to one another, or such unkind remarks spoken about someone, anyone, especially on social media. I know and I fully respect the right of everyone to say whatever they want to say on their Facebook page, and anywhere, as a US citizen. I realize that it is one of our rights...freedom of speech. I always wonder why someone, especially in the spotlight, whether they be a politician, a sports figure or announcer, a religious leader or anyone, why make a hurting, unkind comment, and then resign after they make it. I always, always am reminded about a scripture where Paul is speaking...and he basically says that, yes he is free to do anything, say anything, because of his freedom in Christ, but he says...I won't! He says that everything is lawful unto me, but I won't let it rule me! If it destroys peace, if it is going to crush and hurt someone, is it tears down, instead of builds up, why say it, why do it? I know that we have the freedom to speak, but why say something that does not make the other person feel better, or that edifies the other, or that empowers the other, or that helps make the other person, a better person, or that encourages someone, or that helps to make a situation better, or that simply blesses someone! We are living in a perilous time in America. People are hurting, being hurt, fearful, not trusting, losing faith, discouraged, depressed, wanting to give up. Why not be the one to have a kind word, a sweet smile, a gentle hug, a word to build someone up, and encourage them. Why not be the Jesus that they meet today? We have the ability to be world changers...even if it begins in our own home, in our church, in our neighborhood, in our city. EVERYONE was created in God's image and likeness. That means that we were created just like Him, and He Is LOVE!!! He is not hate. He is not critical. He is not ready to look for and shout of people's faults. He is not moved by color or social status. He is kind, and He is gentle, and He is loving, and He lifts up and He encourages, and He thoughtful, and He is a builder of men! As I stated, just thinking out loud!

Don't Fear...Don't Be Afraid!

Good morning family. I hope that everyone is enjoying this amazing and beautiful day.... no matter where you are, no matter what the circumstances are...no matter what has happened, because God Loves YOU, and He cares! I am just looking at FB this morning, and more and more posts about Ebola. I can almost sense the fear and anxiety that is rising up...I really am. I truly know that satan is the master of putting people in fear! This is his m.o., it is how he operates! he is the master of lies. Just as God is moved by faith, satan is moved by doubt and by fear. I really wish that I could personally take everyone's face in my hands, look into their eyes, and convince them to NOT FEAR! It is almost as if God does not exist. If you be honest and really think about it, every year there is some type of deadly outbreak. I remember, H1N1 not too long ago. swine flu, this outbreak, that outbreak...every year it is something, and every year the panic starts again.
I know this, the news media likes to stir up fear, it loves ratings! I know also that if someone wants to control a person, fear usually does the job. Fear paralyzes. This is how the lion remains the King of beasts, how he can control the jungle. I read that the lion is able to kill his prey, because his roar is so powerful, that it stops and paralyzes the other animals in their tracks, thus he is able to pounce on them! satan does that. he is as a roaring lion. he uses someone to simply say, stage 4 and that paralyzes. Or he uses someone to say, "you have until...", or someone might say, "if you don't, then"...simply words that will stop a person, and ruin their life! Well, I've got a secret...wanna know what it is? It is a promise, and it is from someone who can perfectly carry out that promise...get ready...here it is...YOU shall be far from FEAR, from TERROR, and from OPPRESSION! This person says that all of these shall gather around you, but they will not touch you! Ebola is included in that. It shall not touch you. The fear of it shall not touch you...oh but, that is only if you believe it! If you choose to believe CNN, Fox, the news paper, your spouse, your friends, then it might come upon you! This has not taken God by surprise...noting does! He took the time, thousands of years ago, to write down some instructions for us to live by...it is called a BIBLE! Those instructions still work! He knew back then, that an ebola scare would happen. He knew that a group called ISIS would form, He knows about all of the ways that satan manipulates people. He sat down, and He wrote...DO NOT FEAR! DO NOT BE AFRAID! TRUST ME! DWELL IN ME! LET ME BE YOUR HIDING PLACE!. The 91st Psalm has always been my favorite. Isaiah 54: 11-17 is a great passage too. People are afflicted today with worry, and fear, and anxiety.
11 “O you afflicted one,
Tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems,
And lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
Your gates of crystal,
And all your walls of precious stones.
13 All your children shall be taught by the Lord,
And great shall be the peace of your children.
14 In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.
16 “Behold, I have created the blacksmith
Who blows the coals in the fire,
Who brings forth an instrument for his work;
And I have created the spoiler to destroy.
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.
This is an awesome promise to the believer. We have to live by God's Word...it is our life, our PEACE, our protection, our hope. ebola, H1N1, ISIS, cancer, Nothing is a match for God! Just wanted to offer a little Peace and calm!

Just sharing my heart...

Just sharing my heart today. I am a little troubled by so many things, but especially by friends and family members who are being physically challenged in their body with sickness, or who are dealing with sickness in the body of a loved one. I know that for many, they seem to not be able to be free of sickness. It seems like it has been a challenge for sometime now. For others, it has been something that suddenly showed up, out of nowhere, which has produced a sense of fear and a sense of anxiety. Some are becoming depressed and discouraged. I just don't like to see anyone, in this state.

It is and always will be my desire to encourage everyone who may have found themselves at this place in life.
I want you to know beyond any shadow of a doubt, that God absolutely and unequivocally LOVES YOU!
He does now, and He always will. God is not mad at you. He is not punishing you. He is not trying to teach you anything with sickness. God wants you well. more than you want to be well! Healing is His Will for you and for your loved one! God loves us so much, that He sent Jesus to The Cross to die, so that we can live. LIVE, not survive. LIVE, not just get by. LIVE, not struggle with sickness and pain. LIVE, not be depressed and discouraged. LIVE! Live Supernaturally and abundantly! That's why Jesus came...to give us the supernaturally, abundantly above, Life! Not just abundant in money, but abundant in life, and abundant in health, and abundant in peace, and abundant in victory, and abundant in power, and abundant in anointing, and abundant in righteousness, abundant in wisdom...get the picture? God wants this for every man, woman, boy and girl!

Please trust God. Please trust His Word. Please believe that He only has your best interest at heart. Please know that what concerns you, also concerns Him. Please know that He hears your prayers. Please know that He cares! Please know that He has power that He wants to use on YOUR behalf, if you will only let Him. Please know that He wants to do YOU good, all the days of YOUR life.

God is not looking at your mistakes and your failures. He is not judging you on your performance.

It gladdens His heart when we reach out and take from Him. Take your healing. Take your prosperity. Take your peace. Take your deliverance. Take your life!

Don't give up on God! When those negative reports come to you, look at The Word. When the doctor says that this won't happen or that won't happen, fix your eyes on God and on His Word. When the doctor says that it will be a year or so many months before healing comes...fix your eyes on The Word! Keep the Word of God in your eyes. Keep it in your ears. Keep it in your mouth!

God's Word is medicine! (Proverbs 4:20-27) Take it in, just like you take your prescriptions that the doctor gives you. Do away with perverse lips...in other words, speak and say only what the Word of God says!

The Word of God brings the healing...He sent His Word and healed them! (Psalm 107:20)
God heals ALL diseases and delivers from destruction (Psalm 103)
I AM the Lord Who heals you (Exodus 15:26)
Jesus took your sickness in his own body, so that you don't have to carry sickness in your body. (Isaiah 53:5)

Don't give up. Glorify God by living and by defying every negative report spoken against you! Amaze the doctors by walking out of that hospital...completely free of any sickness or disease.

Just wanted to encourage you and build you up today. I am standing with you! I love you too!

What World Have You Created?

Words...Words...Words! They are everywhere and all around us. We hear them, we speak them. God has blessed us to choose our words, and when we speak right words, He empowers them to come to pass in our life. Words have creative power. When we speak wrong words, satan is empowered by us, to cause them to come to pass in our life. satan uses the wrong words that we speak, against us! We have to help satan to destroy us....how crazy is that. satan waits for us to say the wrong words. Just because you go to the doctor, receive a bad report...do you really have to agree with the report and SAY what the doctor says? If you don't have money in your checking account...do you have to agree with your checkbook and SAY that you don't have any money? Because you job has been threatening layoffs, do you have to SAY that you will probably be one of those affected? It is what you SAY continually that will come to pass...good or bad! Just because you sneeze, do you really have to SAY that you are catching a cold, that you always get the flu? Your words have power...either to bless or to curse! It is up to YOU! Why not use your words to speak life, to bless, to encourage, to build up yourself or someone else. Why not say that today is a good day...that you are favored and blessed...that you are free of sickness, disease or pain...that you are prosperous and blessed to be a blessing...that you are blessed with loving, kind, obedient, godly children...that my spouse is kind and loving and a man or woman after God's own heart...that every family is a child of God and loves The Lord with all their heart. You say what YOU want, not what you see with your natural eyes. You create your world...with your words. What kind of world will it be for you! Have a great day. Choose the right words!

Bad Days...Not Me!

Good morning. I am up early this morning, after a wonderful, restful, relaxing and sweet sleep. I thank God that He has always blessed me to enjoy my sleep. Even from a school age kid, sleep was never a problem for me! In fact, I remember many times being the recipient from a few paddles in the morning, because I would remain asleep, after my grandmother had called me several times in order to get up and get ready for school. It always seems like the mattress would just suck me in, like a magnet...I just couldn't get up! Well nothing has changed, I still sleep like a baby...always! Tossing and turning...not for me. I am usually sleep before my head hits the pillow. Recently, I discovered a pillow mist, from Bath and Body works...it is called Stress Relief... it is amazing, it is real aromatherapy. Although stress is not a part of my life, I buy this product because it is just that good! My husband would not be caught without it. It really does make you sleep soooooo good, in an instant! He drenches his pillow with this stuff. I am in no way doing an advertisement for Bath and Body works, I am just saying that if you have not tried this pillow mist, you are missing out! Anyway, I am up and ready to conquer, ready to possess the blessings that God has loaded on me today, and I am going to overcome every challenge and I am going to slay every giant! Jesus and I have got this! It is an amazing day. Yes amazing, blessed, successful, and a highly favored day...why?...because I said so! I command my day! God has given it to me, it is good, and blessed, and loaded with His benefits, and ordained by Him, and prosperous and it is His gift to me! Everything that he makes is good or very good. If that is so, and it is...then why would I let anyone, or anything make it otherwise. Guess what...I'm not!

God has blessed us with the power to choose. We can choose to be happy or choose to be sad. We can choose to have a good day or we can choose to have a stressful, depressing or problem filled day. We can choose to believe God and live and be who He created us to be or we can choose to believe the lies of the enemy and be miserable. We can choose to be victorious or we can choose to be defeated. We can choose to trust God and live in peace, or we can choose to fear and live stressed. I don't know about you, but I have decided that I am going to choose the high life! I am going to choose the abundant life, the God kind of life. I made a decision a couple of years ago, and by the power of God I have stuck with it...I WILL NOT HAVE ANOTHER BAD DAY EVER AGAIN, IN MY LIFE! Yes challenges come...situations and circumstances can be stressful at times, sometimes we find ourselves in situations that can agitate us, the enemy tries all he can to wreck our day, disappointments come, BUT we have the choice of how we are going to respond to things! Some things show up in our life that may knock us off course a little, but we make the decision how to respond to it.

I love getting up every morning, and wrecking satan's day! I want him to grab his head and tremble in fear and terror, every time that my feet hit the floor! I remind him every day, that I was born to raze hell! That's right, my mission is to empty hell and fill heaven, to snatch the lost, sick, broken, broke, defeated and confused, depressed...out of his hands! I live to encourage, to bless, to intercede for, to minister to, to empower, to pray, to serve others! I want to see everyone live a good life...the life that God has planned for each of us. A life of victory, of success, of prosperity, joy and peace, a life of power and authority. I want to see people fulfilled and smiling and walking in purpose and living out their destiny. God has me here to be a blessing...and I cannot think of anything else that I would want to do in this life! Bad days...not me! Have a good day. I sure am!
