I DON'T AGREE

EARLIER THIS YEAR I WENT TO A CHURCH IN A NEIGHBORING CITY, AFTER THE SERVICE I TOLD THE PERSON I HAD GONE WITH THAT IN 2014 I AM GOING TO ALIGN MYSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE FOR ME AND PEOPLE WHO GIVE ME WHAT I GIVE THEM. TOO MANY TIMES IN MY PAST I HAVE FOUGHT TO WIN PEOPLE OVER THAT IN ALL HONESTY DIDN'T LIKE ME OR WEREN'T FOR ME. THE PROCLAMATION I MADE THAT DAY IS COMING TRUE IN THE LAST MONTHS OF THIS YEAR. GOD HAS PLACED PEOPLE IN MY LIFE THAT ALWAYS THINK OF ME; THAT CALL; COME TO MY AID; AND EDIFY ME...FOR WHATEVER REASON THOSE AREN'T THE PEOPLE I GENERALLY GRAVITATE TOWARD. YESTERDAY I HAD TASK AFTER TASK THAT I NEEDED TO DO RUNNING THROUGH MY HEAD AND THEN SOMEONE CALLED. THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THE PHONE ASKED WHAT I WAS DOING AND WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT IT I READ HER THE LIST IN MY MIND; HER REACTION WAS TO COMPLETE ONE OF THE TASKS ON MY LIST. THIS ACT OF KINDNESS FREED UP ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF OF MY TIME. I THOUGHT ON THINGS THAT I COULD DO AND I HEARD THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD TELL ME TO STOP; GOD DID NOT WANT ME TO USE THE EXTRA TIME LIKE THAT. I ENDED UP GOING BY THE WATER AND READING AND I STARTED READING A BOOK I HAD FOR YEARS AND HAD NOT READ. I HAVE READ OTHER BOOKS BUT SOMEHOW I KNEW THIS WAS THE TIME I NEEDED TO READ THIS ONE. THE BOOK TALKED ABOUT REACHING YOUR DESTINY AND AFTER I READ A LITTLE I THOUGHT ABOUT MY DESTINY. I THOUGHT OF THE ROAD BLOCKS AND OBSTACLES AND I THOUGHT OF THE THINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE WORKED OUT AND DIDN'T AND THEN I CAME TO A REVELATION THAT I HAVE HAD BEFORE. A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE WORKED OUT DID NOT WORK OUT BECAUSE OF THE WORDS SPOKEN AGAINST ME. I THOUGHT ON ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAD SOWN NEGATIVE SEEDS IN MY LIFE. I THOUGHT ON HOW I ALLOWED AND ACCEPTED IT AND I MADE ANOTHER PROCLAMATION...NO MORE. GOD HAS PLACED PEOPLE AROUND ME WHO BELIEVE IN ME; WHO WILL TELL ME THE TRUTH IN LOVE. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEONE THAT TELLS YOU SOMETHING THAT WILL MOVE YOU TO CHANGE AND SOMEONE THAT BEATS YOU DOWN WITH THEIR WORDS...CONVICTION VERSES CONDEMANTION. I THOUGHT ON AN SITUATION THAT I FOUND MYSELF IN WHERE THE PERSON I WAS TALKING TO REHERSED NEGATIVE POINT AFTER POINT AND I COULD TELL THEY WANTED ME TO AGREE  AND I  DIDN'T AGREE ,SO I FINALLY SAID "THIS IS WHAT I SEE...THIS IS WHAT I THINK....NOW CAN WE MOVE ON TO A SOLUTION." I UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO BE FIRM AND ADDRESS SITUATIONS WHEN NEEDED BUT IF YOU THINK OVER RELATIONSHIPS IN YOUR LIFE AND FIND THAT SOMEONE IS FAR MORE NEGATIVE THAN POSITIVE REGARDING YOU AND WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT YOU IT MAY BE TIME TO REEVALUATE THAT RELATIONSHIP AND SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO THINK WELL OF YOU AND FOREMOST MAKE SURE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST IS WHERE IT SHOULD BE AND BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT YOU.

Amos 3:3 KJV 

Can two walk together, except they be agreed ?

I WON'T BE STOPPED.

Last week God led me to go by the water. While I was there he began to talk to me about the natural and spirit realm. God began to talk to me about how people separated the two but how they were really seamless. He began to talk to me about sickness. My calling is in the deliverance ministry. I am sad to say I am not operating in what level of anointing I should be operating in. It  seems as if every time God is revealing his mysteries or I am walking with him as I should there is a setback of some sort; an attack; a hurt; an injury that derails me. While I was sitting by the water God began to talk to me about the connection between the spirit and body. He began to reveal how when the body is deficient in certain vitamins and minerals disease enters in and how when the body is healthy and fortified and there is a surplus of vitamins and minerals disease can't enter. I am reminded about certain principles like how creatures of the night don't like to come out in the day or how certain insects and rodents don't dwell in clean environments. Likewise if our body is clean and healthy it can ward off disease. I know that God wanted to go more in depth with these principles but I became distracted. I thought on today about the attacks...the attacks on worship; the attacks on faith; the attacks against unity in the body of Christ and how the devil will do absolutely anything to keep us from operating in the gifting and calling that God has called us to operate in because if we do we can snatch souls out of the hell they are in and introduce them to Christ and the devil loses his hold on that person. I thought about how many times I had allowed myself to be derailed. How I let some attack cause me to draw back. I am determined to seek God for my greatest deliverance...my deliverance from people; the need to be accepted and loved by them that dates back from insecurities that entered in during my childhood. I am loved by God and accepted in the heavenlies; he has called me to do great things on his behalf; he has told me his mysteries since I was a child; why? I don't know; I don't feel worthy or deserving but maybe that's just it. So many people become puffed up and prideful thinking that they or who they approve of are the only ones used by God but God will use who he chooses to use. In these last days our focus should be on souls. I am determined to be who God has called me to be. When I experience a disappointment I will worship him for my breakthrough and when I am attacked through a person I will go out of my way to show someone the love of God. I won't stop; I won't quit...I will have what God says I will have; I will be who he says I am; I will be an instrument that he uses to change the world...Let us change the world.
Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted , to proclaim liberty to the captives , and the opening of the prison to them that are bound ; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified . 4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations , and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. 5 And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. 6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. 7 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. 8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed . 10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. 11 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth ; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Distractions

Today I went to prayer and the speaker began to talk about distractions and how the devil will use subtle things to steal your attention and cause you to miss something God has for you. While she was speaking a dream I had years ago came to me. In the dream I was in a store and a woman walked up to me and started to prophesy she carried such an anointing that I was frozen; taking in every word. Out of no where a woman walked up and started a random conversation; normally I would listen, trying not to hurt someone's feeling but somehow I knew that her purpose was to keep this woman from telling me what I needed to hear. I told the person that had interrupted the prophesy that she was a distraction and I would not let her keep me from getting what God had for me. The lady who had interrupted us began to manifest (demonically) and the devil was exposed. In this season don't be fooled out of your destiny; pray and watch!

Matthew 26:41
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak

An Expected End...God is Faithful

I saw another rainbow today and I thought about God's promises. My co-workers and I got into a conversation today about people knowing when they were going to pass. I told them about the experience with my father; finding him with his arms folded and his burial clothes laid out on the bed in the next room. I told her how I had asked God a hard thing; I had asked him for the salvation of my family and how God told me that he would do it for me even if it was just the space to repent. God is so very faithful. It is human nature to not want to feel like you have no control so when God puts you in a situation that you can't do anything it is sometimes difficult to handle but if we stop and think we have to admit God's goodness...we have to admit his faithfulness. God is faithful and that won't change.

The Gift

Some months ago I had a dream about a co-worker of mine. In the dream she was asking someone that was pregnant "what are you going to do with this gift that God gave you?" I  was torn about telling her the dream even though I knew that I should. Before I left the house to head to work my co-worker called. My co-worker and I don't talk outside of work a lot so I knew that her calling that morning wasn't a coincidence. I told her the dream and she never said anything. I had forgotten about it until yesterday. She came to my office and said "I have something I want to tell you when you have a minute." I told her to tell me. "Remember that dream about me you told me about" she said; well when I went out of town I went to visit a friend's house and her young daughter was pregnant and she began to tell me about the pregnancy, saying that her daughter had gotten herself into trouble by getting pregnant and I felt the Lord say "this is the person the dream was for" she said she began to tell the parent about the dream and then asked the parent and daughter "what are you going to do with this gift?" she said they both began to weep. My co-worker then told me that her friend had called the other day and told her that person after person had told her daughter that the child was a wonderful gift and some even asked "what are you going to do with this gift?" My co-worker then said "thank you for telling me...you have seeds all the way in Virginia that are coming up." Hallelujah for harvest. I praise God for the news getting back to me. Sometimes when you don't see results doubt creeps in but there is no need to doubt; God is faithful, and there is and expected end.

Jeremiah 29:11 KJV

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

FLOODING

Last night I dreamed twice about water...in one dream I was at a college and I tried to get to my car to leave because I knew that soon a tide of water would be rushing through the campus...in the other dream I was taking a little boy home and he lived at an absolutely beautiful house on the water; I opened the French doors to the balcony to look out at the water and as soon as I opened them a wave of water rushed through the French doors. The dreams may have been symbolic of my week! but I'm still standing!


ISAIAH 59
1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened , that it cannot save ; neither his ear heavy , that it cannot hear : 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear . 3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 5 They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth , and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. 6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. 7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. 8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace. 9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. 10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men. 11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. 12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; 13 In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. 14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter . 15 Yea, truth faileth ; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey : and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. 16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor : therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. 17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke. 18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay , fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies ; to the islands he will repay recompence. 19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. 20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. 21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

ARE YOU A CARROT EGG OR COFFEE BEAN?/TRIED BY FIRE

I would like to share a story that I heard today with you: A certain daughter complained to her father about her life and how things have been so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and she wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that just as one problem was solved another arose.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen, filled three pots with water and placed the fire on high. Soon the three pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the other he placed eggs, and the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently wondered what he was trying to do. She had problems, and he was making this strange concoction. In half an hour he walked over to the stove and turned down the fire. He pulled the carrots out and placed them in the bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in the bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.
Turning to her he asked. “Darling what do you see?
Smartly, she replied, “Carrots, eggs, and coffee.”
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Her face frowned from the strength of the coffee.
Humbly, she asked, “What does it mean Father?”
He explained. “Each of them faced the same adversity: 212 degrees of boiling water. However, each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. But after going through boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg was fragile. A thin outer shell protected a liquid center. But after sitting through the boiling water, it’s inside became hardened. The coffee beans are unique however. After they were in the boiling water, it became stronger and richer.
Which are you, he asked his daughter? When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?
Are you the carrot that seems hard, but with the smallest amount of pain, adversity, or heat you wilt and become soft with no strength?
Are you the egg, which starts off with a malleable heart, a fluid spirit, but after a death, a divorce, an accident you became hardened and stiff? Your shell looks the same, but internally you are so bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and heart.
Or, are you like the coffee bean? The bean does not get its peak flavor and robust until it reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit. When the water gets the hottest, it just tastes better.
When things are their worst, you get better. When people talk the most, your praises increases. When the hour is the darkest, trials are there greatest, your worship elevates to another level. How do you handle adversity?
Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?

  3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying , Behold , a sower went forth to sow ; 4 And when he sowed , some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up : 5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up , because they had no deepness of earth: 6 And when the sun was up , they were scorched ; and because they had no root, they withered away . 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up , and choked them: 8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold , some sixtyfold , some thirtyfold. 9 Who hath ears to hear , let him hear

God Is Love






Psalm 8

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!   

Promise

Today in the sky was a beautiful rainbow...it didn't form an arch it was just painted across the sky. I wanted everyone that I know; especially my loved ones to see it. I tried to take a picture but it just didn't do it justice. Do you want to know something else odd? Today I rented Noah!

PURSUE PEACE...REST

THURSDAY NIGHT I HAD A DREAM AND IN IT SOME PEOPLE THAT I KNOW TOLD ME THAT SOMEONE WAS STUDYING SERENITY. THIS WEEK WAS A LONG WEEK FOR ME; THERE WAS SO MUCH GOING ON. TODAY AT THE CLOSE OF MY WORK WEEK I THOUGHT ABOUT THE DREAM...AND THOUGHT FINALLY...PEACE. I TOLD A FRIEND OF MINE THAT JUST THE KNOWLEDGE THAT TOMORROW I CAN RELAX AND DO WHAT I CHOOSE IS BEAUTIFUL. I PRAY THAT THE PEACE OF GOD THAT SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING IS YOURS TODAY AND TOMORROW. I PRAY FOR STILLNESS IN YOUR LIFE. I PRAY FOR A SABBATH IN YOUR LIFE; A TIME OF REST. GOD BLESS YOU. I LOVE YOU WITH THE LOVE OF CHRIST.

PSALM 34
1 I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad . 3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. 4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5 They looked unto him, and were lightened : and their faces were not ashamed . 6 This poor man cried , and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. 10 The young lions do lack , and suffer hunger : but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. 11 Come , ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

Sabbath

I heard "Seventh Hour" today and I knew God wanted to tell me something. I heard Matthew Chapter 10 and as I read it what stuck out to me was
 Matthew 10:19
But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
I knew that was a principle God wanted me to grasp but there was more so I began to search and I found a Jewish blog that talked about keeping the Sabbath. In the Western culture we generally go to church on Sunday and this is good but there is a deeper principle I feel like we have been missing.. a day of rest where we commune with and get to know God better; a day of impartation where we align ourselves to receive and we reverence God for being who he is. I am going to start observing the Sabbath...Matthew 11
             28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden , and I will give you rest . 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

PROTECTED

YESTERDAY WHILE RIDING IN THE CAR A WASP FLEW INTO THE CAR AND STUNG ME ON THE BACK OF MY NECK. I HELD MY NECK IN PAIN AND NOTICED THE WASP ON THE FLOOR DYING. LATER ON I THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND I WAS LIKE WHAT ARE THE CHANCES? AND THEN GOD BEGAN TO SPEAK...WHEN YOUR ENEMIES ATTACK YOU THEY WILL BE HURTING THEMSELVES. WHAT A PAINFUL PARALLEL, BUT FOR IT TO BE SO EXTREME I KNOW THAT WHAT GOD IS DOING IS GOING TO HAPPEN QUICKLY.
ESTHER 7:
9 AND HARBONAH, ONE OF THE CHAMBERLAINS, SAID BEFORE THE KING, BEHOLD ALSO, THE GALLOWS FIFTY CUBITS HIGH, WHICH HA'MAN HAD MADE FOR MORDECAI WHO HAD SPOKEN GOOD FOR THE KING, STANDETH IN THE HOUSE OF HA'MAN. THEN THE KING SAID, HANG HIM THEREON.

I WANT TO SEE JESUS

A couple of days ago my daughter told me about a dream she had. In the dream she said we were flying in the clouds and anything we asked for we got; she said that I said "I want to see Jesus" and then I got to see him. I have been thinking about the dream since she told me just the thought of it is beautiful



Matthew 21:22 KJV

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing , ye shall receive .

The Sceptor of Protection

I felt led to read the book of Ester. I have read it several times so I knew that this unction to read it again meant that I was to get a right now word from it. Isn't amazing how something that was written so long ago can be a parallel to what you are walking out in the present! What stood out this time was how that after the king had decreed it; it was going to happen; but when Ester sought mercy, her petition was heard and although the decree was going to be carried out another decree, a sort of amendment to the one the that had gone forth was created. Even though the weapon had been formed and had even launched God raised up the Jews for the time of battle and they were able to receive strength and stand. What was suppose to be their destruction was their deliverance. God is great and greatly to be praised!

Remove Every Weight

Someone told me a story about a girl on a track team; they said that the girl said there was one team that her team went against and could never beat and one day when the girl got an opportunity to talk to one of the members of the other team she asked what it was...(how they got so fast) and she said the girl said "our coach makes us practice with weights so when we run at the meet without the weights its like we are weightless, running on air". I believe we are fast approaching the season that God is going to remove the weight and we will be strong enough to finish! We will have the strength to do what seemed impossible.
