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!

Have a Good day...EVERYDAY!

Good morning, what a glorious day. Yes it is cloudy outside, dreary looking with no sun shining...but it is glorious nonetheless! God has blessed us to have eyes to see the clouds. We can see that the sun is not shining, we can see! We can hear the wind, and see the effects of it blowing, we have our hearing! The cool weather is arriving, and we can feel it! We have the ability to feel...we can see...we can hear...we are able to distinguish the heat from the cold, day from night, a sunny day from a cloudy day...many can't do that. There are some who don't even know who they are, don't even remember their own names. We are more blessed than we know! I do hope that you have already declared that your day is a gift from God and that it is a blessed one. I am so thankful for life, for being in Christ and saved and rescued by Him. I am so thankful that He loves me and always will, will always stand up for me, we always protect me and pray for me, and prosper me and always keep me with a sound mind, a healthy body, a peaceful, grateful, content spirit! I am so glad that Thanksgiving for me is EVERYDAY! I have too much to be thankful for to just confine it to one day out of the year. Who can do that? We all are so blessed. No, you may not have every single thing that you want today...but with Christ, it is only a matter of time! I have walked with God long enough to know that when it seems like those things that we want, are staying away from us, and it seems like God has not answered those prayers, He is always working behind the scenes. He has taught me to get up each morning, thank Him for the day and invite Him into the affairs of my day, expect Him to move in everything that day, and enjoy it! I have learned that He will cause all things to work for my good. Yes things happen that may not be pleasant, that may not be what we want, but I have learned to trust Him to work it out where it turns out for my good, even though it was supposed to take me out. We have ample opportunities each and every day to be stressed, depressed, bitter, anxious, mad, disappointed, and to have a bad day, just don't seize the opportunity...you know, like when you don't seize God given opportunities to enjoy His daily benefits, to experience His joy and peace, favor and grace, health and wholeness, and prosperity...you know! Just decide that you are going to have a great day, every day...that's all that I am saying...rain or shine, cold or heat, summer or winter...enjoy your day and your weekend! Decide that no matter what, you are going to enjoy the presence of God and His love with you today, and you are going to expect this day to be the best that you have ever had! Love you.

Have a Great Day!

Good morning! It is such an awesome day today. God has blessed me to see another one of His amazing creations! I love every day, but I am especially fond of bright, sunny days, like the one that I am enjoying right now. I can see the sun in the slight opening in my drapes. It seems like I can hear the sun begging to get into my home, trying so hard to gain entrance into my room. I must get up and open all of the drapes so that it can come pouring in! God is such an amazing artist. No one can paint a masterpiece as He can! I have already stepped outdoors to marvel over my flower pots. It seems like everything is still asleep and so content enjoying a nice fall morning! I don't even see the two bluebirds that have made my yard their daily hangout, or the two squirrels that love chasing one another along my wood fence or in the big oak that in my backyard. The blue daze has not opened up yet, nor has the pink purslane opened its blossoms and emerged yet this morning...everything is at rest...so peaceful, so calm. I love these kind of mornings. Days like this one, just makes me want to get up and enjoy my quiet time with God. I can see His presence all around me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy just being with him, whether it is sunny or rainy, I just love being with Him! Is is even more special when the phone is not ringing, the television is not shouting at me, no one is asking where is this or where is that...just me up, and peace abounding, and calm is all around! I love these times, and I have learned both to expect them and to enjoy them. As I get older, I am able to sense God's presence around me more and more. I have always prayed and asked God to let me be able to sense His presence and His hand in the daily affairs of life. God desires to spend time with us. He wants a family and He desires a relationship with us. The Creator of the Universe, the Giver of Life, the one who is the Supreme Sovereign of the Universe, desires to go shopping with me. He desires to have coffee, tea or orange juice with me. He wants to go to lunch and hangout at the mall with me! Isn't that amazing? When I have a decision to make, and don't quite know what to do, He wants to help me, and guess what...He wants to be and do this with you to! Hey, He evens helps me pick out the sweetest melon at Walmart! He wants to be involved in everything that concerns us!

Well, my son has just emerged from his room, and now I am hearing the voice of Whitney Gilbert and Dwayne screaming from the TV. There goes the peace and calm! It was good while it lasted...lol!

Have a great day!

It's Gotta Stop...We Gotta Start!

As I sit here blogging this evening, once again I am hearing yet another report of a child who has died due to being abused. This time it is the 2-year old son of a NFL football player. I along with many people in my city, are still in shock over a case of child abuse done to a month old baby. Local authorities say that it is the worst case of child abuse that they have ever seen. This one month old child suffered from multiple broken bones, as well as other injuries. More and more, children are the victims of abuse, and many are coming up missing. It is a very sad state of affairs! Who would intentionally abuse or hurt a sweet, innocent, and helpless child? No one in their right mind would! It would take someone who is totally out of their mind to do such a thing!

Each time that I hear of such a thing happening, I also hear people saying how angry and how disgusted it makes them feel, how sick it makes them feel inside, what they would do to punish the one who committed this abuse. I must admit, I am angered by these things happening too, but I am more angered by those who have the power to prevent these things from happening, but don't do so! What do I mean and who am I talking about when I say those who have the power to prevent it? I am talking about all of us who say that we are a Christian, a child of God, Spirit-filled and blood washed, those who say that they love the Lord, and who are so blessed and highly favored. Mind you, I am not poking fun, I am not doubting your claims, nor am I saying anything to the contrary. I am angered because we as believers are sitting back and allowing God's enemy, satan, cause all of the abuses brought against children. I said earlier, that it would take someone who is totally out of their mind to do such a thing to a child...well guess what?...the abuser is out of his mind, he or she is operating with satan's mind. I know that many reading this, is probably thinking that I am out of my mind...guess what?...I am out of my mind, I have Christ's mind! Let's face it...either we have the mind of Christ, or we operate with satan's mind...one or the other! The sad thing is that the whole world lies in darkness and doesn't even know it, being controlled by satan, and under his influence! Before you get mad, remember that if you are a child of God, that is if you have received the Spirit of God to live in you, then you are not of the world. When I say world, I am not talking about the physical planet, I am talking about those people who are not of God, who don't have God's Spirit in them, who have never received Jesus as their personal Savior and Lord. When people commit these horrible crimes, they are being controlled by satan. They are not in their right mind (the mind of Christ).

God put this earth's rulership into the hands of man! In Genesis 1:26, God gave mankind dominion over the entire Earth, over every animal, demonic powers, time and space, matter...everything but other men. Isn't it funny that we can exercise authority over other men, the thing that we don't have authority over...but we don't exercise authority over what God assigned us to exercise authority over. He said, "Let them have dominion", not "Let Us have dominion". He put us (believers) in charge of this earth, and that means in charge of the powers of darkness also. If this is true, and we know that it is because God said so, then why do believers keep begging God to do something about this abuse and about all of the crazy things that are happening in the world today? Why aren't we exercising our delegated authority over it? We spend too much time begging God, instead of commanding satan, while satan is doing everything that he wants to do...dividing men, economic woes, causing racism and hatred to run rampant in the earth, deception, adultery and fornication, murders, natural disasters, terrorism and every evil known to man.

Why does the body of Christ not want to rise up against our enemy satan? It is easier to hate someone who we can see, someone with skin on. Why do we keep attacking one another when God has plainly told us that another man or women, is NOT our problem. I know that satan is loving what he is seeing today. All of his evil has been permitted to take place whenever and wherever he wants it to!

Believers must rise up. We must be the light that shines in this darkness. We must not continue to sit back and allow satan to control the earth that God put us in control of! God is not going to do what He has given us power to do! I know that many believers will disagree with what I am saying, but God said it to us, I am only saying what is in His Word!

The world is lost. It is blind. It lies in darkness, and doesn't even know it! It is going to hell, if it does not change. Change what? Change rulers, change kingdoms, change governments, change its allegiance. People in the world has satan as its leader...they are a citizen of his kingdom, under his government, giving him their allegiance!

We who are God's ambassadors in the earth, are here to invade enemy territory, we are here to bring God's government to earth, we are here to shine forth as God's light, we are here to turn the hearts of men from satan to God, from darkness to light, we are here to intercede. We are here to take over! We must put a stop to what satan has been free to do. We can no longer just sit by and hope that God will just step in and do something. We must be good stewards. The power has been put into our hands. It is up to us!


John 3:19

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

Isaiah 60:2 

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people

Ephesians 5:11

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Ephesians 4:18

having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart

2 Corinthians 4:4

whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them
