The Me I Want to Be

I'm the me I want to be

I live life on purpose not haphazardly

I live my life by the standards Christ has set for me

Not because I'm forced to

I do this willingly

I'm the me I choose to be

I travel the path that may be unlikely

The path that Christ has set before me

I thought about the end one day before I took another step

And decided that I wanted to be comforted and kept

From slipping, falling, spiraling down to the depths of hell

It's my revelation of Christ those gates shall not prevail

I am the me I want to be 

And at the same time not the me I aspire to be

To be completely like Christ, it's Him I want to be like

So in His presence I'll live and in Him I'll delight

In My Prayer Time! 5/22/11 11:00 pm

God is resurrecting hunger and thirst in His people. A lack of hunger and thirst has been responsible for lack of unction, lack of wisdom and direction. As your hunger and thirst for righteousness and Him increases, so shall your desire to get more involved in ministry to be instruments of His glory. As a result, ideas and witty inventions will come to be used to grow and manifest His Kingdom.

God is causing revival or a resurrection of life in those who were once alive in Him but have gone astray. Those that are backsliders. God is restoring them. There is a call going forth to backsliders to return to Him, for He is married to the backslider.

Let us intercede for those who are backsliders that they may answer God's call.

My Best Friend

I wasn’t there when He gave His sermon on the mount. I didn’t see Him when He was transfigured. I wasn’t there when He cried tears of blood in the garden of Gethsemane. I wasn’t there when He was dragged from one judgment hall to the next. I wasn’t there when they crowned Him with thorns and I wasn’t there at the foot of His cross to hear Him say, “It is finished”!

But I am blessed because I believe and yet do not see. His power from the cross transcends time and space and has found its way to me.  I’ve been born again, forever changed. I do have the earnest of His spirit, an inner witness that assures me that when He appears, I will be like Him. I’ve been comforted through many trials and tribulations. I’ve been miraculously healed. `He has never forsaken me as He has promised not to. When I feel alone and lonely, He is my hope and His strength is unfailing.

He is my very best friend and a best friend He has been to me. I look to the hills from whence cometh my help, for my help cometh from the Lord. He is my salvation, my redeemer and my exceeding great reward. What I don’t receive here in this life, I hope to receive in the next. I’ve put my life in His hands. My reward is with my God. He has made mention of my name. He has made my mouth like a sharpened sword in discernment and skill.  Thank you oh Lord for who you are and the sacrifice you’ve made. In Jesus name.

A Writer's Workshop @ DWO

It was overwhelming to see so many people, whose interest is writing, show up for the Writer's Workshop. It only confirms what God has spoken to me about what He plans to do in this end time with those who He has called to write."Manifesting the Kingdom, by publishing the Heart of God" is my personal and professional motto for what God has commissioned me to do. I count it an honor and a privilege that Darlene, my teacher and friend, would call upon me to help her facilitate this phenomenal event. Just to be a fly on the wall would have held the same value to me. To be a witness to what God is doing in His people. I believe with all my heart that we (God's people) will change the book industry and write "the books everyone wants to read" a phrase I have recently coined. It was a joy working with the other facilitators, some of the most lovable ladies, I've ever worked with.  I look forward to what God will do in our future sessions. Thank You Bishop for making this not only a possibility but a reality!

Excerpt from Garden of Gethsemane: How evil spirits operate

God says in His word that the angels of the Lord are encamped around and about us protecting us and ministering to us! From the time we were born those angels were assigned to us because the bible tells us that they minister to the heirs of salvation. Holy angels are not the only spirits that are around us. The un-repented and un-confessed sin of our parents open the door for evil spirits to influence their children and sometimes from the time their children are born these evil spirits lurk around them to oppose God and His Holy Angels. This depends on when the parents opened the door to them without closing it. This is the only explanation to why we learn how to do things that we never saw anyone else do, or that someone didn’t teach us how to do. 

These evil or unclean spirits have been seeding us with their desires, ideas and thoughts. They love it when we take ownership of those desires, thoughts and ideas. If an evil spirit has been with you from birth it’s very easy for them to deceive you into taking ownership of their ideas etc… Horrifically enough without a real revelation of God and His word many children have embraced these ideas from a very young age. That is why it is so important to teach our children early, as much truth as possible so that when they are faced with conflict they are empowered to overcome it. Our job is to teach our children the truth, giving them understanding so that they can receive God’s word. If they believe God’s word they will not believe the lies of the enemy.  

I know because when I was a 12 year old I remember experiencing conflict with lust. It was clear to me at 12 that lust had been sown into my soul. I remember being faced with the same lies; this is who you are, don’t fight it. I distinctly remember that I wanted both, I wanted what my flesh wanted but I also wanted to be right with God. Because of what I had been taught in church, I believed that I wasn’t supposed to like girls and because I wanted to be right with God more, I asked God to take the desire away from me. He did and I have never liked girls since. He took it away from me because I believed that He could and that He would. I didn’t believe that the desire was something that I couldn’t be rid of.

I asked God why didn’t I accept those lies, give in or submit to them. God told me that I didn’t accept the lies because I didn’t believe them, I believed His Word. All children reach the age where they can choose. We call this the age of accountability. Unfortunately most children do not have enough Word to challenge the lies from the devil.
