There's POWER in the blood!!!

We had communion service yesterday. What glorious time in the Lord we had!

During worship, I first saw a river of blood all on the floor of the church! Waves and waves of blood.

I just worshipped and praised God and then I heard Him say, 'Dip seven times in my blood and you will be made whole!'

So just as Naaman dipped in the muddy waters of Jordan seven times and was healed in 2 Kings 5, so was I healed and made whole.

I got on my knees and bowed down seven times.

Seven is the number of completion; I have had deliverances in my past. But as glorious as those deliverances were, it wasn't complete. My deliverance was complete!

Let me tell you something...

God will show you things that may seem strange. God will tell you to do things that are abnormal and make you seem like a plum fool.

But if you obey God, He will deliver. He will take you to another realm in the Spirit. Your obedience will launch you into another dimension. One act of obedience will catapult you to such places in the Spirit that would normally take years for you to do on your own.

Besides...you don't want to do this on your own anyway. You want God to do what must be done in your life!

Not by might, nor by Power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord.

Hear the voice of God...and then obey it....

Be blessed!

My God is an AWESOME God!

Praise the Lord!

We serve an awesome, AWESOME God!!!!

I have to give my God all the glory for what He has done in my life, in particular in the past few weeks!

The enemy had literally plotted to destroy me and my family. But God has ensured me that NO weapon formed against me or mine shall EVER prosper!

He took me to Isaiah 54 yesterday in between services. The power of God was all over me. I sat in my car in His Presence and He showed me:

Isaiah 54: 6-17<
6 For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.

7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.

Have any of you ever went through something so devastating, so heart wrenching, so horrible, that you felt forsaken of God?

Have you ever been shattered into billions of pieces?

I know in this passage of scripture, God seems to be speaking to a woman. That's what makes it so wonderful.

I'm gonna be real.

I have been rejected on a most intimate level. My marriage broke up. My ministry was misunderstood and scandalized. My name was put out there for evil.

I felt forsaken of God, for real! I said God why you called me, brought me to this level, only to allow these horrible things to take place in my life????

But in spite of it all, God still kept His promise:

9 For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

13 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

God not only keeps His Promise, but He protected my children! And promises to keep them!

14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

This is SO powerful!

God revealed to me that the weapons the enemy forms against us, the ones who makes the weapon and the ones who use the weapon are all created by God.

This means that no matter what the situation is, no matter what weapon the enemy has formed against you, no matter who is coming against you....

GOD Almighty made the weapon, He made the one using the weapon and the one who created the weapon!

You know what that means????

GOD IS IN TOTAL CONTROL!!!!!!!!

God is in total control of the attack! At any given moment and time during of the attack, God can stop the attack. God can disseminate the enemy at any time. He can speak to the storm and command the winds and waves to cease. He can stop the enemy at any time.

Why won't He?

Because He is gonna get the glory out of this!

God trust you with the trial, the attack. Be honored that He does. No that the weapon cannot, will not work against you.

Trust God to take you out on top, with the victory!

I love the Lord!

Because I know He has my back!

Be blessed in God!

Don't let NOTHIN' steal ya praise!

Praise the Lord!!!!!
I am so blessed to be able to give my God the highest praise!!! Hallelujah!!!!!!

You know, it is indeed an honor for any of us to be able to stand in the presence of a Holy God and to praise His Holy Name! To worship Him in the beauty of Holiness!

I don't think we realize just how wonderful it is to be able to bless the wonderful name of Jesus!

We get caught up with the trials of life, problems, distractions. Do you know we can even get distracted with our blessings????

How so?

I see so many in the church today who I believe are pimping God. I know you all have heard that saying. It means folks go to church, make commitments and vows to God not because they love Him or simply for who He is. No.

They try to play God like...."Ok, God. I got this situation I am dealing with. I have this need. If you meet the need, if you fix my problems, if you give me the man, the house, the woman, the car, the ministry, etc. then I will serve You."

And because we serve a God that is faithful to His Word, He honors it. Just like the children of Israel wanted a king and God gave them Saul. Or when they cried out for manna in the wilderness and it was bad...God will give us answers to prayers...

Even if answering those prayers will hurt us.

You see, God know the end from the beginning. He knows that giving us what we want, when we want it, how we want it, will only pacify us but for a moment. It will stop us from crying and throwing a fit. Just like when one of our kids are in the store crying for candy in the register line. How many of us (mothers especially!) are guilty of giving in to our crying babes?

"Oh, alright! Here! Take the candy!"

And who does it end up hurting? Not us, the child. A cavity, an upset stomach, not being able to eat a meal....all are results of giving in to what that child wants.

Well, God does that to us. He knows the man isn't good for us. He knows if we get that job we won't ever be able to go to church. He knows if we get the house the bills will be astronomical. The car may be a lemon after all....Yet, we pout. We try to manipulate God into giving us what we believe is best for us.

And when He does, we have to learn for ourselves why God was nudging at our hearts, telling us that maybe what we are praying and believing Him for is not His perfect will!

Then we got to repent, get back in line, and get into the perfect will of God....

All that when we could have just obeyed that still small voice telling us otherwise......

How did I get off on that tangent????

Anyway!

Blessings we pray for can even serve to be a distraction.

Saints, we can't let nuttin' get in the way of our praising God!!!!!

Absolutely NOTHING!!!!!!!!!

Because stuff happens. Trials come. Persecutions arise. What are we gonna do?

Go around and wimper like a sissy? "God why me? Why has this happened to me???? I try to do the right thing and look what happens????"

Uh, uh!

I thank GOD ALMIGHTY that I have learned that no matter what we got to praise, we MUST praise, as J. Moss sings!

We are commanded to praise YE THE LORD!!!!

I know some shrug their shoulders and say, "She ain't got nuttin', she is just emotional..."

Let me tell ya something....

You weren't there when I almost lost my mind. You weren't there when God saved my life.

You weren't there when He healed me spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and even sexually!

You weren't there when He filled me with His Holy Ghost.

You weren't there after Katrina. You weren't there when I thought I would never see my kids again. You weren't there when I didn't know sometimes where we would live or how we would eat.

You weren't there when my name was put out there for evil, scandalized. You weren't there when I was rejected, by churches, by preachers, by family, by friends.

And all I had to turn to was the Lord.

You weren't there when HE ordained me a prophetess unto the nations, right there in Nita Mae's womb!

You weren't there when the enemy tried to take my life by making me be born three months premature!

You weren't there when I attempted suicide. Or when I was molested and raped. Or when my husband threatened my life and I had to be on the run while I was five months pregnant.

You weren't there when I felt a lump in my breast and God healed me.

You weren't there when I prayed THRU a stroke, BABY!

You weren't there when the man I loved asked me to leave my home...because he was intimidated by the call and the anointing that rests upon my life.

You weren't there when God called me by my name August 21, 1969 in the wee hours of the morning and told me to come forth.....because He was ordaining me. And because He was ordaining me, God promised me-NO WEAPON ON EARTH OR IN THE AIR THAT IS FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL EVER, EVER PROSPER!

So because you weren't there...you have absolutely nuttin' to say about me praising my God!

As a matter of fact, the only reason you cannot praise Him is because you don't believe in Him. You don't trust Him. You trust your intellect. Your connections. Your networking.

You don't know God.

You trust religion. Men. Money.

All of that is coming down. And the only things we are going to have to stand on in these last days are God's Word and His Praise!

And we MUST pray!

We are in warfare, as I stated in the last blog.

Prayer, praise and the Word....those are our weapons.
Do you know the weapons of your enemy?????
I think I will make that the title of my next blog!

I love you all!

Be blessed in the Lord.....

That's right, I Still love the Lord!!!!!

Praise God, saints!

God is so awesome, so glorious, so marvelous! I can never thank Him enough not for what He has done or is going to do, but simply for who HE is!

We sing that. But I wonder if we really know who Jesus is????

We sing all the latest praise and worship songs in church or listen to them in our homes or cars. But do we know HIM?

Read Phillipians 3. That is one of the most powerful chapters in the Bible!

Paul starts out by warning believers to beware of 'the concision. Evil workers.' The concision Paul speaks of are those who put much emphasis on the mutilating of the flesh. You see, in those days, circumcision was the thing to do to prove you were really a Christian. Zealous, hungry after God. No doubt these folks were very well versed in the law and very active in the synagogue.

So what's wrong with a few 'religious' folks? They are a little zealous, so what? They are doing it for the Lord, right?

Wrong! Paul called these folks 'dogs!' What would make Paul do such a thing? Was he not one of the concisors back in the day? He was...

5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

Yet in spite of all that, he later on declared that all that stuff, all of his righteousness, was dung. Poop. Mess. Feces. You got it!

God declares that all OUR righteousness are as filthy rags before Him in Isaiah 64:6.

Paul was admonishing us to beware of folks that focus on the FLESH!!!!

We go around saying that sinners focus on the flesh. This is true. They have tunnel vision, per se. They can see nothing else but flesh; their spirit man is dead.

But sinners aren't the ones we need to run from. For our very lives, ya heard!

I speak of religious folks.

And there are religious folks in every denomination! So we can't point to one denomination or another and declare they reek of religiosity by association. No. We discern who they are after the Spirit. The Spirit of God will let us know who to cleave to and and who to run from!

Then Paul after sharing his testimony of how he was so religious, how God made him to know Jesus.

Was it from speaking in tongues? Or from dancing the aisles? Perhaps it was reading the Word more, being an advent studier of the Word....

Was it by associating with 'spiritual' folks? Or maybe becoming more active in the church? You know, an idle mind is the devil's......

NO!!!!

We don't get to know Christ in any of those ways!

How do we get to know Him?

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

We get to an intimate knowledge of who Jesus is when we DIE!!!!!

When our stinking, rotting, deplorable flesh dies to what it wants and craves and yields to the power of God!!!!!!

When we allow ourselves to suffer when we did no wrong w/o retaliation...that is when we are 'conformable to his death....'

Because if we die with Jesus, it is guaranteed that we will be raised up, just as Jesus was!!!!!!

This is why in the midst of my crucifixion, in the midst of my flesh being torn to shreds, in the midst of public humiliation and persecution, I can truly and honestly declare that, as the songwriter sings....

"Go ahead
Drive the nails in my hands
I will rise again
Ain't no power on earth can tie me down...
I will rise again
Just can't keep me in the ground!"

Yes, so I say come on! If this dying is what it is gonna take for me to go to my next level in God, then Go, ahead!!!

But be sure these two things....

One, I STILL love the Lord!!!!!!!

and, Two...

I WILL RISE AGAIN!!!!!!!

With the power and the authority of Almighty God in my hands!

And the devil is gonna regret he ever messed with me!

Cuz this is one who really, really LOVES her God!!!!!!
