World AIDS Day!

My God!

He is so awesome! He is so amazing! He loves us so much!

I just praise God for His infinite, never ending mercies towards me.

Today is World AIDS Day.

And I am so awed by the handiwork and protection of God.

I pray for those who are being afflicted with HIV and AIDS. God is there for you and He does love you.

I don't why you have this. In all reality, I should be where you are. I gave my body out recklessly without restraint. Yes. I am admitting. Ever since my uncle took pictures of me naked at 11 and 12 years old and told me how beautiful I was, I always thought my worth was in how much I can project sexuality and sensuality.

He transmitted a strong spirit of perversion and lust in me. It is what drove me into the hotel rooms, lusting after men...and women.

It is what kept me in relationships I knew I needed to run from.

It is what had me seeking to do porn. God's Hand was in that and kept me from it.

But God kept me from diseases. I didn't do it and you know the negroes didn't care about me.

God cared.

So I don't know why I was spared, and you weren't.

I know people can live with HIV and AIDS. And I pray that those who are afflicted God will save, first and foremost, heal and deliver.

But I can tell you that even with the sores cropping up on your body. Even when you are so tired and every muscle in your body hurts.

Even when you feel like you are going to lose your mind.

Even when those around you reject you and are scared to be close or intimate with you.

Even though you are condemned by man and the church.

Know God is on your side. Even if you don't want God.

He wants YOU!!!!

He wants you to be saved, to be delivered, to be set free from homosexuality and perversion, promiscuity.

He has done it for others and He will do it for you.

God will keep you with the AIDS. With your HIV. With the sickness. With the low T-cell count.

With the pneumonia. With the cancer.

I have no answers as to why. I just know God loves you.

And I don't judge you. I apologize on the behalf of those in the church who handled you wrong, cuz they didn't know how to minister to your special needs.

I have even handled some wrong with HIV. But God is so good to me, and He has mandated on my life, to whom MUCH is given, MUCH is required.

I can't hold anyone responsible and anything over anyone when God has been so merciful to me.

And because He has been so merciful to me, I am obligated to extend that mercy to you.

To whom MUCH is given, MUCH is required!

Use your life to speak out against sexual perversion, lust, promiscuity and lack of knowledge about sexuality.

God is with you.

Be Blessed in Jesus' name

Where is the church???

Greetings to you!

I haven't posted anything 4 a minute. Just been really busy.

I have had this on my mind for a long time. And I would like to hear what you all think.

Where is the church?

I have been saved and in church for almost 20 years. I have seen some pretty incredible things, some glorious things. I have seen miracles performed, souls saved and delivered, bodies healed, storms turned around.

I have seen God do some awesome things!

And I regret to say that I have seen the worst of folks, church folks that is. I have seen lies, deception, perversion, agendas, foolishness, crime--you name it I have seen it.

It breaks my heart. I know we live in a wicked time. We live in the last days. And souls need to be saved.

But my greatest fear is to go and get a soul and bring them into something that would, as Jesus say, make them the twofold child of hell than they were in the clubs, or the crackhouse or on their knees in front of some man.

Yes, I said it.

My fear is that I would bring someone to church and they would be so happy, at first. They would be zealous for God and hungry for the things of God.

Then they get around religious spirits, deceptive spirits, wolves in sheeps clothing, rapist and perverts, homos in the church and meet the same stuff in the church that was in the world.

I wonder--God forgive me--if those souls are better off where they are? God can save and deliver anyone from anything.

It isn't God I doubt. It is man.

And the church is full of man. Flesh. I speak of not one particular church. I speak collectively, the B.O.C., or the Body of Christ.

People worship other folks, and fall when they fall. They doubt the reality of God when stinking rotten flesh fails. Flesh will fail, folks. Face it.

I DON'T CARE HOW ANOINTED THEY ARE....they are robed in flesh.

Someone said something to me that I will always carry with me.

This thing isn't about man, it is about God.

That is why I cling to no man, if he ain't my husband. No man!

Preachers are flesh, people. Look around, they are all messing up. Doing crazy things.

If your eyes are on me, or any other flesh, you will fail. You will fall. You will doubt God.

Don't do that.

Keep your eyes on Jesus. Because the church is jacked up. It is nowhere where it should be.

Religion, personal agendas, crazy folks, it is all in the church.

If you wanna be saved, stay at home and get to know God for yourself!

Pray, fast, read your Word. Shut folks out. Cuz they are crazy anyways!

Hear what God has to say.

God and the church are on two different planes....

Beware!!!!

Why stop at DELIVERANCE????

Greetings to you in the name of Jesus Christ!

God gave me a revelation a few weeks ago and I nearly drove off the road! It was that powerful!


With God ALL things are possible!!!

But the word God gave me was how there are so many churches that are opened up just based upon deliverance alone. People stop at deliverance. They get so caught up in deliverance, in healing, in prosperity. They don't realize that it doesn't end there.

When the Israelites were in bondage in Eygpt, it is safe to say they were not in the will of God. For many many years, they cried out to God for deliverance. He finally got tired of hearing His children being caught up in bondage that He sent a deliverer, Moses.

Now we all know what a mighty deliverance God wrought for the Israelites!

The signs and wonders that God manifested in that period of the Israelites was awesome!

The ten plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, His provision in the wilderness....

But how many of you know that the Red sea, the wilderness, the provision was not the end of what God intended for the Israelites!

But they got satisfied with the deliverance. With the signs and wonders. With lifting people up instead of the Promise.

Why did God deliver them? To get them to the Promise!!!!

To SAVE THEM!

But because they got satisfied with the signs and wonders and seeing God provide. With seeing Gods glory shine on Moses' face instead of getting in the glory for themselves so that THEIR faces can shine.

They got scared to enter in to what God had for them, so they sent Moses in to speak for them, intercede for them.

When God wanted THEM to enter in!

God gives us the PROMISE of salvation.

What promise?

No matter what a great deliverance God has wrought in your life, if you just stop there, you may be missing salvation. You may miss out on what God wants to do in you.

There was an end to why God delivered the Israelites. Not just so they can be comfortable, or they could go around strutting and braggin on the deliverance. Yes, glorify God for it.

He didn't deliver them so they can go out and start a ministry in the wilderness!!!!!

WOW! That would preach, y'all!

No.

Moses had a ministry in the wilderness. God's glory fell. His face shone with it.

God used Moses to do many things.

But as mightily as Moses was used, that wasn't then end of it. That wasn't the intention of God...just so a man could be lifted up.

That is part of the reason I believe God allowed Moses to die in the wilderness. Because folks started lifting him up and not lifting up God.

As many wonderful works God wrought in the wilderness, the Israelites still did what they wanted to do. They still whored after other gods. They still were rebellious and disobedient.

Even those in leadership were knuckle heads! Remember Aaron and Miriam? Aaron made other gods and Miriam leprosy.

Many died in the wilderness. Why?

No, not because of what we think. But because they all lost focus on what the whole thing was about which is God getting His people to the Promise.

They took 40 years to go somewhere I heard shouldnt have taken that long.

This is what can happen when we lift up flesh and not JESUS!


And they'd get to the promise not of deliverance, healing, prosperity, not even ministry...BUT SALVATION!!!!

God delivered the Israelites because God loves us. And it is His will that NONE would perish but that ALL would come to repentance.

And if He hadn't delivered them, they would have died out in Eygpt. And there would be no hope for salvation for any of us then.

No Israelites, no Jesus.

No Jesus, no salvation for us.

God has a plan.

If God has delivered you, yes, I encourage you to praise God for it. Be thankful.

But don't go start a ministry because you got a little tingle, a deliverance. You may not have the goods to help someone else....yet...

And you being presumptious and zealous and stepping out before God may cause the faith of someone else to be shipwrecked.

You don't want that blood on your hands....

Continue to seek God. Be sensitive to His voice and allow Him to continuously lead you into HIS plan for your life.

Trust me, it is much better than our plan...

His plan will bring salvation. Our plan will bring comfort.

His plan will lead unto eternal security. Our plan will ease our conscious temporarily.

Don't stop at deliverance. Go onto what God has ordained for you...which is ultimately your soul being SAVED!!!!!

Peace and love to you!

ALL SOULS ARE MINE!!!

Ezekiel 18:4, 23

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine.

Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

I was riding down the street and God brought this scripture in my belly.

'ALL SOULS ARE MINE!'

I have been a part of many churches. I have been in leadership and I have noticed a spirit that I believe grieves the heart of God.

It is a spirit that makes leaders/pastors, etc. believe that the sheep God has entrusted to HIS care belongs to them!

Why do I say that?

Because these pastors 'claims' these souls for their church before they even come to their church. Then when they come he/she won't let them go.

What some leaders must understand that God may use you to minister to these souls. You may fast and cry and pray for them. You labor with them long. You rebuke and build up.

You consider yourself their spiritual mother or father.

But after God is done using you to bring that sheep to a place in God, you must be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Ghost when it is time for that sheep to move on.

I know. We hear of church hopping. But realize even this.

God is in charge of that soul.

That soul belongs to GOD, not you!

Even if they are out of the will of God when they leave, because that soul belongs to God, God knows how to lead his sheep.

Now, if you are a shepherd after God's own heart, then expect a great exodus in these last days.

Because People are hungry for God. Not you. Not your choreographed praise and worship. Not lights and cameras. Not hype. Not spiritual gifts.

Not your stale prophesies and stagnant revelations. Not your half truths.

People want to be SAVED!!!!

And you cannot hold the souls of God captive any longer!

So many pastors, ESPECIALLY ones who don't preach true salvation, find it necessary to use scare tactics to get people to stay and submit to their false authority.

It is nothing more than witchcraft and wizardry.
And God says to 'Let my people GO!'

If you aren't gonna teach the people what it really takes to be saved, that's Acts 2:38 salvation, then stop spinning your wheels and let them GO!

Don't make God have to burn your house down, or expose you to let HIS people GO!

Stop power tripping and let the power of the Holy Ghost draw people.

People ain't studdin' your hair, or your suit, or your eloquent words. They ain't studdin the fake praise and choreographed worhsip.

They will get over your testimony. For it is not your testimony that saves us....

It is JESUS testimony that saves us!

You can't take them outta God's hands anyways...

John 10:29
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

I will post a word God gave me about deliverance focused ministries.

So many people are so caught up in deliverance only that they miss salvation.

What is the point of deliverance if you die and go to hell??????

Be Blessed in Jesus' name!

R U A Part of the GOBN???

Greetings 2 u!

Now I know, the title may seem like I am anti-Pastors. No, I'm not.

I have a question for pastors. Elders. Leaders. Male ones.

R U a part of the Good Ol' Boys Network?

Do you see Hophni and Phinehas running rampant in the church and instead of dealing with it, you cover it up? You are so worried about appearance and approval of man that you don't stand up for your daughters?

You see Slick Willy making a move for the praise leader and you won't do a thing about it? Then when she ends up pregnant, you wanna blast her from the pulpit?

A couple has come to you wanting to get married. The man is a leader in the church. You know the marriage is doomed and not of God. But because that's ya boy and you tired of seeing him feem in his flesh, you agree to marry him and his hottie so he won't fall into sin.

You see that pedophile masquerading as a deacon brushing up to the kids in church. He goes on all the trips where the kids go. Yet, you won't do a thing about it. You didn't check his background well enough when you 'deaconized' him, and now all the kids are at risk. But you don't have the courage to kick that nasty deacon out.

You know that preacher or organist is a little fruity. He has too much pep in his step, too much sugar in his tank. And you discern that he is sweet on a couple of guys in the church.

But because he plays that organ crazy, because he is so anointed and talented, you won't sit him down and do deliverance with him. Then he will get offended and leave the church.

Or you know that woman is called to preach. Yet, you keep her down, preach at her and tell her she has a devil because she came to you with the call.

If you have been guilty of doing these things, then you are an official member of the GOBN--Good Ol' Boys Network!!!!!!

Being a part of the GOBN means you are a part of lies, coverup and deception. Why? I don't know why. Seems to me being a member of the GOBN means losing your soul, but some kinda way, you justify being part of a coverup. You justify lying and placing people in situations where they can lose God or backslide.

You are afraid of people. You are a people pleaser. Because you know that standing up for the truth would mean losing some friendships and alliances. Some members will leave if you expose deception and foolishness. If you preach holiness and salvation instead of prosperity and partaking of foolish marriages.

Some of you can't make that stand because you fell into the trap yourself. And you conclude that you made it out okay. So, so will they.

Do you not know you are held responsible for those souls you mislead??????

Don't be a part of the GOBN! Stand up for righteousness! If you aren't gonna get folks saved, and tell people the truth about salvation, if you don't give GODLY counsel to the people and allow them to enter into foolishness....

You will see those same souls in hell with you in the JUDGMENT!!!!!

God Bless.

What is going on with the marriages???

I didn't want to believe it.

I didn't want to receive it.

I was heartbroken.

I was heartbroken when I heard about the impending divorce of Paula White and the marital discord between Bishop Thomas Weeks and Prophetess Juanita Bynum Weeks.

This has been a trend for the past few years. When Noel Jones was divorced-that is when it seem to begin.

Major preachers marriages failing.

I thought about it. I prayed about it. I am not the type of person to be happy to hear of a Christian marriage breaking up.

God, what is going on with all these Christian marriages???????

God showed me.

Especially in Christian marriages. People, SAINTS, we need to take care of one another. I don't mean preach about taking care of one another.

I mean turning down that opportunity to preach or sing to spend some quality time with the one God gave you. Stop pleasing folks and please God, and take care of your loved one.

Don't neglect your families or marriages for ministry. We got our priorities mixed up! We are so hyped up into believing that it is okay to not spend time with our families, our husbands, our wives to prove to people who don't care anyway that we are the anointed of God!!!

What a bunch of poppycock!!!!!!!!!!!

I love my first pastor, Bro. Michael Day, pastor of Living Way U.P.C. of LaPlace, LA, I love what he told his congregation one time. He said he will not neglect his wife, Nora, for no one in that church. I love you, I will be there for you and pray for you. But God gave me this wife, and I am going to take care of her.

That was almost 20 years ago. They had been married as teenagers years before I knew them. And they are still going strong.

That is a real man of God. Yes, anointed, love God, handled the affairs of ministry effectively, meets the needs of the sheep entrusted unto his care. But I see how he has CONSISTENTLY dealt with the wife of his youth. No matter who comes or goes to Living Way, he is enraptured with his wife. He takes her out. He prays with her. He is committed to her....NOT TO HIS MINISTRY.

Meaning...

I believe preachers can be a bit unbalanced. We get caught up so with the needs of the ministry so, that we neglect home. Then we act shocked when things blow up.

Look at Juanita Bynum. I love her with all my heart and soul. But I always wondered how wise it was to be traveling all over the world and leaving her new husband behind like that.

We need to learn balance. The glamour of ministry can blind us, it really can. We get caught up with the applause, the accolades, the approval. Oh yeah, we can preach that it doesn't affect us, but it does. And if attention is lacking at home, we seek attention elsewhere, no matter how anointed we are, no matter how much God uses us.

But when the lights are off, the power shuts down, and the folks are gone, we have to deal with reality. The umph of ministry is not with us when we are home alone and our spouse is off ministering to someone else. The umph of ministry is not there when we need our spouse to help us with the kids, when we just plain miss our spouse.

Preachers, male and female, take care of the home front. Your first ministry is NOT the church, it is your family.

Take care of your marriages. Husbands, love your wives. Wives, respect your husbands.

If our families are jacked up, then the churches are jacked up.

CLARION CALL FOR THE LADIES!!!!!!

God is an AWESOME God!

The only wise God!

Omnipotent, Sovereign God!!!!!

I giving out a clarion call! Ladies, God is calling you. You are going thru hell and high water, but in the midst of the hurricane, God is calling!

Get sensitive to the Spirit and hear what thus saith the Lord!

What God has placed in you is so special! So wonderful! So powerful!

My last three posts or so have all been leading to this one, girls.

If this post is causing you baby to leap and it bears witness in you, you need to heed the call.

With the clarion call comes responsibility. This means relationships, alliances, associations and friendships must go. You know what they are, who they are with.

I don't just speak of alliances...I am not talking about just with man. Churches, groups, jobs, families, anything that you are so tied to that you cannot see God.

Your allegiance is not to man, or a church, or a group anyways, it is to GOD!

I preached a word last week, 'R U a tree?' To God be the Glory...what God asked is no matter what storm blows in our lives, can we still be found standing in God? Psalms 1 was the text scripture...if you read that scripture, you will see God says if we don't walk in the counsel of the ungodly, sit in the seat of the scornful, translation--put up with FOOLISHNESS, then you qualify to be called a tree in the kindgom of God.

See, there are many twigs, branches, grass, and flowers in the church. But twigs and branches not attached to a tree are what? DEAD!

Grass withers, as the Word says.

And flowers, as pretty as they are to look at, really serve NO purpose in the ecosystem!

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth....

When you make a stand that you will not put up with foolishness, i.e. homosexuality in the church, people setting people up to fall, not preaching salvation, pastors shacking up, false prophesies = witchcraft, and giving the witches in the church positions and prominence, even making them 1st ladies, then you qualify to be called a TREE, not by man,

BUT BY GOD!!!!!

Ladies, r u a tree? Have you had the guts and courage to be humiliated, talked about, lied upon, mistreated, misunderstood because you wouldn't be a partaker of another man's sin?

Because you stood for truth, at all costs?

Trees are valuable to the ecosystem. They feed many organisms. We get paper, glue and other products from trees. We need trees.

As it is in the natural, so is it in the Spirit.

We need trees in the church. We need women of God who are going to feed the flock. Who will be the pillars of sustenance at least for a season, for the weaker, the younger. Too many so called mothers in the church that abandon the babies, that talk about them, have no compassion on them. That is why the girls are being molested and raped in the church.

That is why the Spirit of Hophni and Phinehas has been allowed to run rampant in the church. No one wants to expose foolishness in the church. Do you know how many women have been wounded in the church, by men?

Pastors lusterating after women in the church, and it isn't that they want that woman so much, but that spirit or lack thereof in them, they covet what God has given us women! And if they can SEDUCE you into giving up your position in God, your anointing, your self respect, your dignity, then they will. Because even if you don't sleep with them, if you get in alliance with that spirit that is lacking, then it will steal your anointing!

It will give you what you think it wants. A license? Marriage? Position? Attention? Flattery?

Watch it, ladies! Watch out for a man, EVEN IF IT IS A PASTOR, who always get in your face and it seems he can only focus on you. He tells you, "You are so great, so anointed, so powerful." That's your daddy!

He ain't supposed to be in your face like that!!!! He is about to molest you in the SPIRIT!!!!!!

Cover yourself, tree! Protect your anointing at ALL costs! The enemy will use something that started out innocent enough, but then the enemy perverts.

It is gonna hurt when you cut them off. But run for your lives! For your anointing! For your ministry!

THIS IS A CLARION CALL FOR THE TREES! THE TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!! PLANTED BY THE LORD!!!!

Come out of the foolishness! It may act, talk, sing, preach, dance and speak in tongues like God, but try the Spirit by the Spirit. Pray. God will show you.

Then be obedient and heed to the call!

Peace to you

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!!!!!!
