I didn't know where to post this but I wanted to share the news with you all because the ebook I wrote fits under this section. It's called How to Overcome Discouragement (When People and Odds are Against You). It's on sale for $.99 now, but on MAY 1st is FREE DAY where you can download on Amazon for FREE! I know times are hard, so if you want to wait tomorrow to get a free copy of the book, then by all means you have my blessing. I'm more about offering what God poured into me to encourage you and bless you spiritually. But I will post an excerpt so you all can get a feel of it :). Other FREE DAYS: May 3rd-May 6th. If you missed your chance yesterday, you can get my ebook for free for these next four days. :) Synopsis: Have you ever been discouraged? Are you fed up with feeling this way? If so, then this book is for you! You will learn what causes discouragement, where discouragement comes from, and who are the people that cause you to feel discouraged. Also, you will learn about Breaking The Cycle (Process of Elimination) and other steps with wonderful insight to keep you aware of people who are for you and who are against you, in spite of the odds that you face through life. Let's face it. Everyone has odds set against them, but the people in your circle makes all the difference in your world. And ask God for guidance to help you overcome discouragement and to eliminate discouraging or hindering sources who doesn't want to see you succeed. Be encouraged, precious heart! Excerpt: Breaking the Cycle (Process of Elimination) I’m ecstatic that you’re hanging on your journey to success. There’s so much I want to explore in this chapter because I want you to understand that sometimes you have to separate yourself from people who don’t want to see you prosper. I know this is a hard pill to swallow, but you have to, so you are spiritually safe. We have the power to speak life or death over our situations. I’m learning this daily. And I won’t lie to you; it’s not always easy to crush the strongholds in your life and declare victory. Renewing the mind takes work and progress. In order to progress to the next phase in your life, you have to go through the process (smile). I know this is hard for you, but there comes a time in your life where you have to cut people loose especially when they are constantly oppressing you. It’s a given that no one is perfect. If we were perfect then we would be in Heaven right now. We’re all WIP (Work in Progress). However, you have to weigh the pros and the cons about certain people in your life. You must ask yourself. How does this person make me feel when he/she is in my presence? Do I feel happy or do I hate to see them coming? Or you can make a list to see if their negative comments about you outweigh the positive. Then, if you find that their negativity is overriding the positive, you know what you have to do. You need to reconsider why they shouldn’t be in your life. You must strive to build a better you. You know how when it’s time to clean your house? The same rule applies to your spiritual house. What we feed our spirits can be beneficial or destructive for us. Run away from people who will constantly discourage you—otherwise you will find yourself aborting your dreams! And you certainly don’t want to die spiritually for not seeing God’s plan unfold in your life. Sometimes the process of elimination can hurt and it’s a lonely place to be in. Think of it this way. Instead of saying I have no one. You have to tell yourself, “God is with me and He won’t let me fall.” When you get into isolation (only for a short period of time, for it is not good for anyone to be alone. See Genesis 1:18). Pray for God’s courage and strength to help you through discouragement. You must remember, my friend, we need to break the cycle. We can’t keep repeating the same situation, if there are people who will only hinder us and not help us to progress. We must step away from negative comments that will cripple us emotionally. Like I’ve said, some people can overcome this discouragement hurdle easily and good for you! But to you who are struggling, I’m here, through God’s guidance, to help the shackles come off you. You no longer have to possess the chains of bondage, which are choking you. You can be in liberty today and take on a new perspective for your life. And if you’re not able to avoid the people in your life physically, you can keep your words few around them and act civil (if you can help it). Here’s how you can start the process of elimination. Confess to God about your struggles. You must pray—and I mean pray wholeheartedly! He understands, He knows, and He truly cares about you. Then ask God for guidance. Let Him show you how to rebuild your self-esteem. And how do you build your self-esteem? Reading His Word with scriptures that speak life into your soul. Here are some scriptures you can encourage yourself with by placing them on a wall where you can seem them or use index cards. When you do have these scriptures before you, make them personal to you by saying I and me (to some scriptures may apply): “Finally brethren (sisters), whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just. Whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of a good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8 (K.J.V.) “I can do all things through Christ which strengthenth me.” Philippians 4:13 (K.J.V) “Nay, in all things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” Romans 8:37 (K.J.V.) “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he (Jesus) that is in you, than he (Satan) that is in the world.” 1 John 4:4 (K.J.V.) “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distress for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9,10 (K.J.V.) “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31 (K.J.V.) “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 (K.J.V.) “Thou will keep him (her) in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he (she) trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3 (K.J.V.) “Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” Joshua 1:9 (K.J.V.) “I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” John 14:18 (K.J.V.) These scriptures are a few examples you can nurture your soul with. Also, you must have an open heart and mind because God wants to give you His very best. And ask God to send you the right people; people after His own heart to get you right where you need to be. Having supportive people in your corner can also help you move further into your destiny. Be willing to assist someone else if your time hasn’t come yet. You’ll be surprised how God will work out your situation in your favor. I’ll never forget before I moved into my apartment in 2008. Everything was going haywire for me. My neighbor was acting up on me, my landlord was on my back of finding a place soon, and well, my voucher was about to expire. It took me about nine months to move into my apartment. You see, I have found my place in February. But the housing assistant didn’t like me and she decided to play “God” in my life. Once the city said that I was eligible for section 8. She was supposed to help make my transition easy—not difficult! In the mean time, when I was going through that unnecessary drama. I wanted to help out two neighbors; they’re a few years younger than me. The first girl, “Stacy,” she lived on the opposite side of the SRO (Single Room Occupancy for women), on the second floor. She was out of a job and she had no money for food. She was in a low point of her life. So, to take my mind off my chaotic situation, I helped her out, giving her money so she would find a job. She would use it for the Metro card to search for a job daily. I would encourage her to not give up and keep the faith. Sure enough, I came home from work and “Stacy” told me she got a job and I was excited for her. And she was grateful that I helped her out and not looking down on her. I was relieved that I wasn’t self-absorbed in my own situation that I couldn’t see that she needed assistance. It doesn’t cost a dime to help someone in need, we have to look at it as an opportunity for God to use us for His glory and get our blessings! The second girl, “Nola,” she lived next door to me. I knew something was wrong with her when I heard music playing in her room. I knocked on her door and asked her what was wrong. “Nola” told me she had lost her job as well. So, I saw it as another opportunity to assist her, since I kept having complications with my apartment. I was beginning to question God, what was taking so long for me to get my place. I also encouraged “Nola” and one day, she knocked on my door and told me that she was hired. She thanked me for caring. I didn’t think anything of it because truthfully, if I were in her situation, I would want help. Sometimes when we get too wrapped up in self, we miss out on our blessings by mistreating strangers or someone we know. When you take your mind off your predicament and focus to do a positive thing in another person’s life, your perspective starts to change. You don’t look at the glass half-emptied anymore because you’re bringing purpose into your life. In this dying, cruel world, we need to spread more love. Recession has hit a lot of people hard and it’s time for us, as a human race, to start getting back to humanity. Start living in spite of the circumstances that is set against us. Keep this in mind; there is always someone far worse off than you! I didn’t care about those girls not paying me back; that’s not what it was about with me. I wanted to be a better me. I wanted to please God so His hand would always stay constant in my life. I don’t know what I would do if God isn’t in my life. Around October 7th 2008, I moved in my apartment and been living here since. This place is mine because God promised me back in mid 2004 that there was a section 8 apartment waiting for me. If I had listened to the social workers in the shelter, I would have missed out on my blessing! Another important factor, ask God to show you His will for your life. Whether it is a gift, calling, ministry or whatever it might be. God will open the door for you. Just trust Him and follow through His plan for your life! Copyright by Chimere McKether.

  5. Oh, AMEN! I'm glad you three are blessed by this message. All the Glory belong to Him. I missed you all and it's been way too LONG!!!! :)
  6. Hey, I give it all to Him, God is sooooooo Good. And you're welcome!!!! God is all up in our business ... God desires us to be blessed by His Mighty Hand. I'm glad the burden has been lifted off you. I know all about carrying heavy burdens, not good for the soul. Whatever you need from the Lord, Astra, God's got it for you. Look deeper for what he wants for you and You will find it! Be encouraged and if there are any more messages the Lord will place on my heart to say, then it shall be done to bless each and every one of you! :)
  7. Yes, and God bless you, Connie. I sent you a personal message from God. It should be there already. I pray you receive it with God's peace and love. And yes, it's easier said than done, and this is SO true LOL. SMH. Yes, it's easy to forget because we get caught up in our own situations and we miss out what God is saying to us. I know I've fallen victim of that many times lol, but I'm getting by His grace. I pray the message the Lord gave to you witness to your spirit and keep the faith, for God truly wants to bless you!
  8. God bless you, Shan. To God be the Glory!!!! Yes, there is a strong desire in The Holy Spirit, that we must draw closer to Jesus like never before. Yes, this is the point. There is and expectancy. We must have an "I expect God attitude!" That we want Him to move in our lives like never before! And you're welcome! There is no bondage in Jesus, and if there is any bondage, He will set us free so we can continue to grow in Him! I pray that God perform miracles in your life this week! I give thanks to Our Savior, for He is doing a new thing and He wants willing servants to jump on board with Him and with each other for touching and agreeing! :)
  9. Yes, I touch and agree with you, too!!! We decree it by faith that it is done, in Jesus' name, we pray AMEN!!!!
  10. You're welcome, as you mature in life, baby girl, you will see just because there are people in your life, doesn't mean they are for you! God will send people after His Own Heart to bless you and get you where you need to be. Don't you worry, God's got this. Whatever is not of Him, you best believe He will move it out the way to get His will for you life done! And I pray that He blesses you and your loved ones to have His discernment to know the difference.
  11. God, bless everyone again, there's another word from the Lord that He has deposited in my spirit. As I'm being sensitive to His Spirit, The Lord wants you to PUSH (Pray Until Something Happens) and WORK your faith in Him. May He anoint your spiritual ears that you listen to what He has to say. May He anoint your spiritual eyes that you see what He desires you to see from His Perspective. May He anoint your spiritual hearts that you receive His Spirit of Truth, Peace, Deliverance, Clarity and Victory!!! May He breathe on you, so you can make it in Him. May He walk with you and talk with you. And send a Rhema Word in your lives today. May The Lord block out all voices that are not of Him and BLESS you to listen to His Voice of Peace, Truth, Clarity, Victory and Deliverance!!! Encouraging scriptures: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things not seen . Hebrews 11:1 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove ; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20 Now you're probably wondering why I named this post. Well, it's for a wonderful reason and I pray that you are blessed by this and the Lord have His way in your minds, hearts, and souls like only He can. I'm still growing in Jesus daily. I don't have all the answers and thank God because He wouldn't work on me the way that He does. I'm grateful to learn so much from Him because I came from a deathly spiritual situation. God had to pluck me out and show me who He really is and know Him for myself. There's a difference in speaking about faith and walking, acting, and believing in faith. There's a secret key ingredient to faith: belief. But without faith it is impossibleto please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is , and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6. You see, my brothers and sisters, faith and belief goes hand in hand. One can't do without the other. I hear most of you saying that, "But, Chimere, my faith has been wavered and even my belief is crumbling at times." And that's okay, we're human! I must keep it real or else God won't get any glory out of this. The Lord wants to bless you and grow in Him. He wants to push you out of your comfort zone. And that's the active ingredient to faith as well :TRUST! To trust God is to believe in Him, even when things seem crazy and we don't understand it at the time, but we must know that God is God and He is faithful and true, even when we're not at times. I don't have it all together, but I'm not ashamed of the Gospel because I know what Jesus is doing for me in my life. And through the good and the bad times, He's still in my corner as He is in yours, beloved. And this is where Proverbs 3:5-6 kicks in: Trust in the LORD with all thine (your) heart; and lean not unto thine (your) own understanding. In all thy (your) ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy (your) paths. I'm going to break this down as the Lord is leading me on this. He wants you to get a clear understanding how this really works. First, forget what you know or think you know. Humble and Submission is what He requires of you, after all, if we're being real here, He is the head and love of our lives and none of us would be here today, if His hands were not in our lives. We must put away the natural logic, of course, we need to use it for work, school, and other activities, but even that has a limit, but when we sincerely ask God for His wisdom, knowledge, guidance and understanding, it evidently works better than our own power. Amen. Second, He desires you to go into your secret closet in Him. Everything you need it's in the closet. Ask Him to pour His Spirit on you and welcome Him in, as you enter in prayer. The Lord doesn't want you to withhold anything from Him. He desires to work in your life above all you can ask or think. He's looking for radica people who don't mind doing what He says and being obedient to His will and way. Third, He wants you to listen and receive what He's saying to you. He doesn't want you to suffer, spiritually, emotionally, mentally or physically in your walk with Him. He wants you to succeed in all you do. The thief cometh not, but for to steal , and to kill , and to destroy : I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10. This is one of the ultimate secrets God desires for you. We only figure Jesus is talking about Heaven and He is! But He does wants us to exercise our faith down here, for it is His real good pleasure to bless you and sustain you in Him. Fourth, Ask for His wisdom, knowledge, guidance, and understanding daily! Without this, we mess up. I'm speaking from personal experience. LOL. I wouldn't say it, if it weren't true. The Lord desires you to bend your plans to His plans. He wants His will to be done in your life, so He can get the glory and others will see how Jesus is real in your life. I know the fourth step is hard!!!!! But this is where fasting and praying comes in because once our flesh is crucified and our spirits will connect with His! We must walk in accordance with God. Without walking in union with Him, we'll constantly miss the mark. And I know most of you don't desire that, He knows your hearts and how hungry and thirsty you are for Him!!! Fifth, God wants you to snatch your blessings!!!! Yes, you're reading this correctly! LOL. I will explain. He wants you to name them, claim them, believe them, receive them and act on them. I'm not advising this out my way of thinking nor am I persuading you. I'm only telling you this because it works for me and I LOVE to SHARE what God has given to me, SO YOU CAN BE BLESSED TOO!!! And God is honored in sharing! AMEN!!! For He delights in a cheerful giver. Every man (woman) according as he (she) purposeth in his (her) heart, so let him (her) give; not grudgingly , or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthinans 9:7. And it doesn't mean with only money, but giving your time to others but, most of all, to Him! See, Jesus is the Rock and the strong FOUNDATION in your life. And don't ever forget this, precious hearts. These shackles are coming off in Jesus NAME! I decree it by faith as His Holy Spirit is flowing through me, it is done!!!! God wants you to step out in small steps of faith through your daily activities in life. For example, ask Him to put things on sale if you know money is tight. I know you're laughing at this, BUT SERIOUSLY. TRY GOD and see He WILL DO IT. Every week, I'm on a tight budget and I pray this prayer every day, "Lord, bless everything to be on sale this week and You shall supply all my needs according to Your riches in glory through Christ Jesus." And it works. Last week, I always get Instant Breakfast Caranation, God knows I can't STAND to drink my milk plain, but I flavor it up so when I workout, I get results and build a healthy body. So, when I walked in the aisle of teas and powered beverages mixes. My heart LEAPED FOR JOY. Normally, the price for this is 5.79 and the Lord blessed it to be on sale for 4.49!!! You see how DEEP God is in my business. That's shows you right there, God is up there and He really does answer prayers. He knows everything about you, so you might as well give it over to Him, you can't FIGHT IT, as much as you'd like to! LOL. Believe me, I know. God will make sure you won't escape from Him because He loves you too much! But this is how faith is really exercised in Jesus. It's not the size of your faith, beloved, it's how you WORK your faith!!!! And when you work your faith daily, it will increase over time for bigger things you want God to operate in your life. God is not impressed with pride, for pride gets in the way and ruins opportunities when they are waiting there for us. God really does want to bless you in all areas of your life. Not just the finances, but in EVERYTHING. Finances comes last because Jesus wants us to seek Him first. The secrets are in the kingdom of God. Prayer is the key to His kingdom and your faith in Him is what unlocks the door. But seek ye first the kingdomof God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33. I hear most saints say this all the time, "When the praises goes up, the blessings comes down!' And it is so true, which brings to the sixth step. Sixth, after you've done all this, God wants you to praise and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth! You see, when you praise and worship God for who He is and not what He just does for you, it circulates your faith, belief, trust, and love in Him even more by putting it into action. When you're stuck in your rut, sometimes God requires of us to do something for Him, and you'll be surprise how God will truly bless you. I remember when I was living in the SRO (Singe Room Occupancy) for women at the time and the housing assitant at NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority) was giving me a hard time. When she looked at me, she saw God all over me and decided to play Him, having me running around in circles. While I was in my funk, yes, I've said it, my spiritual funk because my heart was so heavy and discouraged, I really wanted to move to the next step in my life, but Our WONDERFUL Heavenly Father, was nudging on me. He said, "Hold on, my daughter, there's something I want you to do for me. There's something I want you to see through Me." I said to myself, "Uh oh, I feel it, God is pushing me to step outside my comfort zone." I was shaking my head and laughing at the same time. Like Lord, enough ALREADY!!! LOL!!!! Bear with me, all. There's something the Lord wants your precious hearts to see. There were two girls who used to live in the same building as me. The first girl, Marie, was out of a job and the Lord was raining His Spiritual insight on me. I saw an opportunity to bless someone else while I'm going through, too! You see, the devil can't STAND it when we share with others BECAUSE he loves to see us BOUND! And as we know, by God's grace and mercy, we don't find it anywhere in the Bible where God wants us bound. That's not biblical nor is it of HIM!!!! I don't care how Satan tries to dress it up in a sexy dress or a swaggering tuxedo! There's nothing liberating about being bound! it's makes you frown and then you are discouraged. If you know what I'm talking about, you'll agree with what the Lord is sharing through me to you. So, the Lord moved upon my heart to bless her with the little finances I had, after I paid rent and I had enough for me, too. When you give to others, think of it this way, you're ACTUALLY giving to God. God tests us to see how we would react if He was really here in our Presence. So He uses these situations through us because we ARE CREATED in His Image! That's why it blows me away when people think that God doesn't exist. He exists all right and I will prove it. We feel the wind, right??? We see how the breeze rustle against the leaves to know that the wind is there, right???? Just because we can't see the wind, it doesn't mean the wind is NOT THERE and that's how God is. He's very real because He created everything for His good pleasure and most of all He created you and me for His GLORY! That's enough to praise Him right there. I remember living in Manhattan, at the time, a man asked this woman how she was doing, and she said something profound that stayed with me to this day, "Any day above six feet is a good day!" AMEN! That means we have a chance to do what God wants us to do because none of knows what happens after we're dead and gone. And personally, if you're like me, I am not CONCERNED about death right now ... I want to fulfill God's will for my life and when all is said and done, I want Jesus, to HUG ME and welcome me HOME, saying, "Well done, my good and faithful servant!" So, after I stayed faithful to God's assignment, He blessed Marie with her job and now she has an apartment of her own. Now, you're thinking, Chimere is getting her blessing now. NOPE, not yet! God was encouraging me again to help someone else. You see, God sees the bigger picture than we do. We can't be so caught up in self, that we don't see the cries of others. This is what the work of the Lord is all about, we need each other to survive. And when God is in the midst, it's even better because He's doing something NEW in you and me. I heard music coming from other neighbor's room, Nisha. So, the Lord prompted me to knock on the door. She opened it with a sad look on her face and I asked her, "What's wrong?" And she told me, "I lost my job." God pierced my heart with conviction and again, He blessed me to help her in need. Mind you both to these girls are sinners!!!! If they never step in a church or pick up a bible. I'm GLAD to say they saw JESUS in me. And sometimes that really is enough. We must remember we might be the only Jesus they see. It's God who will finish the work. And sure enough after I helped her with buying her food and giving her money to run back and forth to job search, sure enough, she got a job, and now she is married and have a home, and that's when God, BUST the DOORS WIDE OPEN for me to walk INTO MY BLESSING!!! Praise GOD!!! Nobody can do you like Jesus. And as Dorinda Clark Cole said in her first cd in "Nobody Like Jesus." I look toward the north, look toward the south, I can't find nobody to help me fight this fight. But I look towards heaven, I look towards Heaven. Mary's little baby, What is His name, y'all? It's Jesus." It's JESUS!!!! Faith, Belief, Trust, and loving Him equals =Jesus. And if you're struggling in your faith, belief, and trust in Him. I will pray for you today. Jesus, we come to you at this hour, entering Your Throne of Grace in our time of need to obtain mercy while being along in Your Presence, if we have sinned against You, that we're not aware of, please forgive us. I'm interceding for all who are in need from a touch in you, Jesus. I touch and agree with them by faith and the power of Your Holy Spirit to move on their behalf like never before. There are some who feel their faith has dried up. Others feel because so much has happened to them, they're ready to give up on life. But, Lord, I'm asking you to shower Your Holy Spirit on them right now. Let them touch the hem of Jesus' garment, right now, in Jesus' name. If they have to be like the woman with the issue of blood, they will do anything to get their breakthrough. Strengthen us in our time of weakness. Sustain us in these hard times and bless us to know You and to love You everyday. Jesus, we realize we can't make it without You. Forgive us when we let our pride get in the way. Forgive us when we fret over things that are beyond our control. We want to release our burdens to you, right now, in Jesus' Name. Jesus, heal us, and we are HEALED! Save us, and we are SAVED, for YOU ARE OUR PRAISE! Perform miracles for many this week, Lord. Have Your way, whether it is cancer, a tumor, illnesses, lack of finances, jobless situations, job changing, whatever it is, Lord. I'm pleading as their prayer intercessor. Perform their miracles in Jesus' name. All power is in Your HANDS! Jesus, we release our worries, our cares, and people in our lives to You. ONLY You know how to work it out for our good. Renew, Restore, and Revive our faith, belief, trust, and love for You and in You. Redeem us, Jesus. Redeem us right now. Jesus, show up and show out for US! We need You, Jesus. Breathe on us, right now, and soothe our doubts and calm our fears. Assure us that everything will be all right and You are in control. And to all us who are struggling after reading this, I pray that they pray unto You and ask You to give them insight of Your Bread, which only comes from Heaven. In Jesus name, I pray, I decree it by faith, it is done. Let Your will not our will be done, Amen and AMEN!!! Give the Lord praise and may He enter in you hearts today with so much love that only flows deep inside through Him. So much joy that bursts in you that flows deeply in Him. Jesus is all you need and more. Whatever you want, the Lord has it. Whatever you need, it's already there and met because God GOT YOUR BACK! You best believe it. There is nothing to hard for Our God. May He move in your life and perform miracles and don't stop loving Him. He wants to show you more than all you can ask or think. Till next time, my brothers and sisters, be well with Jesus and may He encourage you in your time of need. I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU WITH THE LOVE OF JESUS! We're in this together. God is awesome, always remember this and know this NO MATTER WHAT: God is GOD!
  12. double that!!!!! That's right!!!!! We don't have to receive what the DEVIL SAYS!!!! Just because it's there, doesn't mean IT CAN'T CHANGE. We can always get God to change His mind and turn away all evil that wants to come our way. You can't avoid trials and tribulations, but remember this: As long as you're real and sincere with God, He will fight your battles for you. Yes, Destine, as the Lord is upon me, He's telling me to tell you, your mother needs to VERY, VERY careful who she tells her business to because there are a couple of people there THAT DON'T MEAN HER GOOD! I will be praying for you and your family and I decree it by faith that God will intervene on your family's behalf in Jesus name. May every strong hold in your life be DESTROYED in JESUS NAME!!!!! Be encouraged! You can make it with the Lord, precious heart! Jesus loves you so much
  13. WOOOOO, PRAISE THE LORD, CONNIE!!!!! After I have gotten off my netbook this morning, I gave God some ridiculous praise. I was just praising Him while reading your message!!!!! And NO, I don't MIND at all! Take it, because if that is what YOU need to get you through the tough times, read on it, meditate on it and receive what the Lord is saying to you. To God be the GLORY!!!! All Glory belongs to Him. I'm serious about my walk with Him and those lives I affect around me. It's all Him and I'm telling you, my sister in Christ. God drove me here and I'm laughing right now because God is REALLY PUSHING ME OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE and it's clear He doesn't want me to sit on these gifts He has given me. There will be more words From the Lord as He pressed in my heart to speak to everyone here. There is so much God is pouring in me to speak a word of SEASON for those in need. And yes, I am still praying for you because there's a personal MESSAGE the Lord wants me to give to you. And I have a wonderful feeling in His Spiit, He will give me exactly what to say concerning you. Yes, We must see the blessings even when it doesn't seem like it's not one! That's what God is wanting from His People. He wants us to look more closely. A good cop only sees what is in front of him or her. But an excellent cop exhaust ALL possibilites and look deeper to get the answer he or she knew was right in their heart from the very start. I was watching House of Payne the other night and the character Ella told her daughter-in-law Miranda, when Calvin didn't tell Miranda that he was watching Malik and his girlfriend, with her older sister Mercedes. And I felt the Lord was speaking to me in a BIG way when Ella said, "What's done in the dark will come into the light. When God wants you to know something, He will REVEAL it to you in the BIGGEST WAY!" And there's truth in this statement. I totally agree with this because when I knew my former coworker hated me, but the Lord let me look deeper THROUGH HIS EYES and SEEN HER HEART TOWARDS ME. She was ENVIOUS OF ME!!!!! And it's a BADDDDDDDDDDDDDD FEELING when someone hates you that much. I wouldn't wish on anyone to felt what I felt. It HURTS when you see spiritual ugliness rooting in someone else towards you. And that's why I'm glad God deals with me DAILY about me, so I walk right in Him. Yes, OUR LORD and SAVIOR NEVER HALF STEPS!!! That's what I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE ABOUT HIM. He's so sweet and a REAL FRIEND. He's MY ALL and I CAN'T MOVE AND BREATHE WITHOUT HIM!!!!! Girl, you're getting me started here, see I know the Lord is doing something in me. The Lord no longer wants me to keep all that He has taught me this FAR!!!! We must humble and submit ourselves to Him daily! Because we never know what lies ahead, BUT HE DOES!!!!! God is SO AWESOME and WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE!!!!! And when God blesses YOU each and EVERY TIME, He does it MUCH BETTER THAN THE LAST BECAUSE HE'S GOD LIKE THAT!!!! Can't NOBODY TOP HIM!!!! Can't NOBODY stop the RAIN Like GOD! Can't NOBODY make the SUN SHINE LIKE GOD!!!! Can't NOBODY HEAL LIKE GOD!!!!! Can't NOBODY SAVE LIKE GOD!!!! and it's through JESUS, we ARE SAVED!!!!! There's POWER IN HIS NAME. DELIVERANCE IN HIS NAME!!!! THERE'S JOY IN HIS NAME!!!! THERE'S PEACE IN HIS NAME!!!! THERE'S SAFETY IN HIS NAME!!!! The problem with this world today is too much conformity and not enough TRANSFORMING!!!!! I believe in the OLD LANDMARK!!!! Yes, Jesus HEALS and before I lost my job, I prayed for this girl's mother who was battling with cancer. and When I visit my old job in the summer of 2011, the girl rushed to me and hugged me and told me GOD HEALED HER MOTHER FROM CANCER!!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!! She said, that tells you right there GOD IS REAL!!!! Everything God's got it. So, let this be an encouragement to ALL OF YOU, THERE IS NOTHING TOO HARD OR GOD!!! HE'S BIG ENOUGH AND BADDDDD ENOUGH FOR ANYTHING. For ALL POWER is in HIS HANDS!!!!!! Go ahead and work your FAITH!!!
  14. Amen, we touch and agree that You ARE HEALED in JESUS NAME!!!!! May He touch you right now, heal you and make you whole! We decree it by faith it is done, in Jesus name, we pray AMEN!
  15. Oh, Linda Irish, I'm sorry to hear this, but I decree by faith you are HEALED in Jesus name. Know there is nothing too hard for God. May He touch you right now in Jesus name. For He was wounded for your transgressions, bruised for your iniquities and the chastisement of His peace is among you and with His stripes YOU ARE HEALED!!!!! I believe in miracles. I believe for you that God will turn it around. Please update us! You can make it with Jesus! BELIEVE IT AND RECEIVE IT and IT IS DONE! We walk by faith and we're with you and most of all, Jesus is too !
  16. P.S. I also want to add that even though your mom may not be perfect, you are also very blessed to have a mom who has raised you to love the Lord! I would have loved to be able to grow up in the church as a kid! This is all just a preparation for you Destine, and God for sure has wonderful things in store for you! AMEN!!!!! I totally agree with what Daisy is saying. Even though, I'm not a mother, but she's right and she knows what she is talking about. Your mom wants the best for you, but God is seeing it all and please know that what you're doing is not overlooked. I know it's hard right now, but there really are great things in store for you. And yes, as for the gossiping part, your mother must watch her back from what I'm sensing, there is something not right, I don't know what it is, but there is some people that really aren't for your mother in the church. I don't know if I'm on point, but there's a strong sense, since you've said there's been a change in the church ... there's division going in that situation ... and as a preacher's kid, believe me, baby girl, I KNOW what you're going through. Heck, when I was your age, I couldn't wear make up at ALL!!! I was a latch key kid. I love my mother, but your mother doesn't hold a candle to mine LOL!!!! And just know color has nothing to do with the heart. If the person is beautiful spiritually, that's all that matters. Yes, honor your mother no matter what, even though, she is not perfect, but it will be well with you. Give your dreams to God for He knows what is best for you. And in time, the path you will go will be led by God. Just love Him with all your heart, mind and soul. May He keep you and bless you for as long as He can until He blesses you with the husband He has in mind for you in the future, if you desire marriage. Go for your dreams and remember this, we can make plans, but it is God who orchestrates it. May His will be done in your life. I will be praying for you too. Don't you worry and don't you cry, God knows how to make everything all right and may He bless you REAL GOOD! :)
  17. God bless everyone, there is a word from the Lord and Connie, you're in for a good one. I'm using my own situation so a blessing can break forth in your spirit and everyone's spirit who will be reading this! The Lord is so heavy on my spirit and I knew this feeling was strong and what you shared with me confirms this. I was trying to write a message for everyone here last night, but my computer restarted, and yet God is still good! There is a word from the Lord. Oh, precious hearts, I pray that God have His way in this thread, May He anoint your spiritual eyes to see what He desires for you to see in your situation. May He anoint your spiritual ears, that you receive what He has to say. May He anoint your spiritual hearts that you all receive His Spirit of Truth, Peace, Clarity, Deliverance, and Victory! And Most of all, May He breathe on you, so you can make it! I keep hearing these two scriptures and may it sit well in your souls! Encouraging Scriptures: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of the miry clay, and set my foot upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; many shall see it, and fear, and trust in the Lord. Psalms 40:1-3 You're probably wondering why I'm writing about a pit, well, my brothers and sisters in Christ and to those who may not know Jesus, this message is for you, too! You see, in late 2010, it seemed like everything was coming together for me, instead, everything started falling apart. So there was some news that hit my family, hit us to the very core. I remember this clear as yesterday. I was at my friend's house and my younger sister shared the news with me, that our youngest sister is diagnosed with mental illness. I cried like a baby when Tiffany told me that the doctors said that Quentina will be on medictation for the rest of her life. Tiffany and I refused to believe the doctors report. Both Tiffany and I are saved and we take on a different approach in life. When the doctors say "No." Jesus CAN SAY "YES!" When I came home, Tiffany and I prayed for our baby sister because we're not going to accept Satan's attack just because he wants to hinder us from our blessings. It took me about a good ten months to recuperate from this and I'm still doing the best I can through Jesus, to not take this so hard. Satan knew that I was getting back on my feet with the goals God has in mind for me and my sisters, so Satan decided to punch us in the face with a devastating blow to the natural mind, where it seems impossible for Quentina to be the same, but in my eights years of serving God, He has proven Himself strong to me and there is NOTHING TOO HARD FOR GOD! I kind of feel like Job right now because last year, I've almost lost everything, and I would laugh dryly at God and say, "Lord, what have I DONE to make this race so hard for me to run?" I feel like Satan was given permission by God to afflict my loved ones and me. SMH. In March 2011, Mike, who I kept having dreams about, conjured a conspiracy with his coworkers to steal my purse and the Lord warned me in February, but I wasn't really paying close attention then because of everything that was happening to me. Yes, I understand now when Peter mentioned, Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing has happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye (you) are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his shall be revealed, ye (you) may be glad also with exceeding joy. 1 Peter 4:12-13. With everything that happened to me, nothing really surprises me anymore. Just like Jesus is real, so is the devil. And we must never under estimate him. However, God has given us a way how to outmart Satan through prayer! Amen. Because Satan can't hear our prayers to God. Satan can only plants seeds of doubt and suggestions in our heads. He only has a glimpse of our futures, but he doesn't have the whole picture to what God has in mind for us and if we examine closely, with the help of God's understanding, we'll do whatever is necessary to get our blessings! I'll be like Jacob with wrestling with an angel I won't let go, until God blesses my soul. And during the incident with my purse being stolen, I had a co-worker who hated me so much, she was willing to do anything to get rid of me, so yes, I was receiving agony from her, she was sent by Satan. Bear with me here, because my story is getting worse, but there is a point God wants you to see and I pray it will blesses you! The Lord knows I struggle with anger, but He's been dealing with me lately and so far I'm seeing Him doing a new work in me. I tend to hold back my feelings for a long time and then when my tolerance level is low, my anger starts to explode. This is one of my struggles, but I'm constantly putting it before the Lord daily because I want to be delivered and set free. April 2011, She illegally recorded me in a meeting, because I found concrete evidence on her that proves she really hate me and yet again, to my disappointment, my boss did nothing about it, but as soon as I was fed up with my coworker's actions, she disrespected me in front of customers and I held my peace. So when we went in the back, the Lord showed me she was up to something and the Lord gave her a warning all the evil she caused me, she shall reap it in a hundred fold, so she let the boss hear the recording (without my knowlege at the time) and they fired me. I regret getting angry, but I didn't regret for standing up for myself. (And no, I did not physically fight her. I thank God had given me strength to resist sinning in my anger). I found out she recorded me the week after I was on "administrative leave." Then in June 2011, Mike lied to his coworkers about me and ruined my name. And the Lord showed me something was OFF about that whole setup and his plans have holes in them. I was upset, but then he had enough nerve to block me off facebook and twitter and didn't even tell me what I have done. All I did was tell him the truth on his actions towards me whenever another guy was just talking to me, I would notice his reaction. And he didn't even deny it, when I went to his play. So everything I've said to him was on point. So this was where his deception kicked in, I had a dream about him acting shady on me, like in reality, and in the dream, the young woman changing into an old woman was obviously meant as deception. To make matters worse, I had no money coming in and I was waiting on my unemployment benefits to kick in, and by the end of July 2011, God stepped in on time to bless my ui benefits to come through, when I was down to one packet of soup. Yes, it was that serious. That's why I love what David said, I'm not old, but I can totally relate to what he was saying about the righteous not being forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. I have been young and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed beggging bread. He is, ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. Psalms 37:25 The Lord loves us too much to be thrown over to the wolves. Yes, it's true what most saints says, "He may not come when you want Him, but He'll be there on time." He really is an on time God. So, you're figuring by now, after all I've been through, I should've walked away the minute my trial had started. And my pit began in May 2011. This was where the Lord was breaking me for a new tranformation to enter my life all over again. During that month, I was angry and bitter and I cried, I cried a lot! I prayed and prayed continuously during my pit because the only thing sustaining me is Jesus and His Word. When you don't have anything else to stand on, know that God's Word lasts forever and ever. He brings it back to your remembrance in such a way when you are going through. He brings a particular scripture in your spirit when you need it most. With what the devil had caused in my life, I should have lost it a long time ago, but I AM STILL HERE and IT'S BY THE GRACE OF God. Thank You, Jesus. I should've checked out on life, but He's blessing me to hang on and He's doing this for me in my darkest hour. That was when I had my final cry about my dreams keep on visiting me on many things I did not understand and when I did a search, this site showed up and I felt such a peace from God that passes all understanding and I'm freer, much freer than I ever been. I see things more clearly now that I know He's communicating with me back and forth. In your pit, know that He heard your cry, and you will see the Lord revealing things to you, things about yourself you never knew was there, things about other people who you think means you "well," when they mean you evil. He begins to strip you and and break you just so He can be closer to you. He desires you to be in a His image, so you can be prepared for the awesome blessings He has coming your way. He wants you to be promoted to the next level in Him. He wants you to delve deeper in your relationship with Him. Tell Him everything that is going on and if prayer is not enough, God will send you an intecessor who believes like you do to pray about your situation, just so you're guaranteed BREAKTHROUGH! God's anointing is pouring on me so heavily, I hear Hm saying, "Give it to me. I'm your Father. I'm your Everything. I care about you and I love you so much. Just know you will not bear this burden alone anymore. Help is on the way. Just be still and know that I am God. I will restore broken marriages, broken hearts, broken homes. I will restore your finances and give you new horizons in your life. Don't be afraid to step out on faith and have fath in Me, for I won't let you fall. I got you in My Hands. Don't you know I AM THAT I AM? Don't you know I see all the pain and tears you're going through and don't you know I am here to set you free? You shall not be bound, but you shall be loosed through My Spirit. I AM the one who created the Heavens and Earth. I AM the one who wakes you up and lay you to sleep every night. Haven't I met your needs? Even though it seems like you're not going to make it. "I have taken you away from things you're used to because I want to do a new thing in you. I want to take you places you've never seen before, but I need you to be willing to submit yourself to me, my sons and daughters. I want you to go higher in Me. I will show you deep things in your dark place, so when you are brought out in the light, I will already birth something new in you. The latter shall be greater than the former. I AM GOD. I'm Your Savior. Your Redeemer. Your Protector. Your Deliverer. Your Friend. Your Healer. Your EVERYTHING. Whatever you need, my child, I've got it. Is there anything too hard for Me? And when I bring you out, you will see My Glory raining in your life. And you will know it's done by My Hand. For I know how to save you and set you free. Just trust me, follow me, and watch me lead and guide you. Even when you're afraid, know that I am here. Even when it seems like everything is falling apart, know there is a new plan I have for you. Seek deeper in Me and I will give you the answers your beloved heart has longed to know. Peace be still in your life. Just be still and know that I AM GOD." Thus saith the Lord. So, whatever it is you need. Jesus already made your crooked road straight. Know that God is faithful and He does NOT LIE! Just know there will be breakthroughs, new beginnings, new jobs, new church homes, if you're searching for one. He knows your heart and He's already set it up for you to go there. He's already chosen you before you were born. God is in control. So while you're in your pit, by God's Holy Spirit speaking through me, your spiritual eyes are open to more things He wants you to see and know, and your spiritual ears are sensitive to move by His Spirit when He tells you what He wants you to do for Him and He will send confirmation three times and you'll know it's Him, and your spiritual hearts are filled with His Peace and Revelations, Truth and Deliverance, and Victory in Him. Every strong hold in your life is coming down in Jesus name! I decree it by faith, whatever it is you desire, and I touch and agree with you all that it is done in Jesus Name! I pray that this message blessed your hearts and souls. Lift your eyes to Jesus, for He's all You need. He knows where you are. He just wants you to come to Him and lay it on the altar. Go down, way down and deep, and the Lord will reveal to you the answers you long to find. Be blessed and know God is with you and He's not going to let anything take you under! And as you're coming out of your pit, God has equipped you in your walk with Him. You're getting stronger and wiser in Him. Your spirit is renewed and restored. You're entering a new chapter in your life and you're no longer weary, but you are running. You are walking and not fainting. He's opening doors for you. So thank Him in advance and give Him praise for what He is doing for you right now and what He's doing for you in the future. You're coming out with your hands up. You already got the victory in Jesus. The battle is already won and know that God has already orchestrated your steps for His will in your life! Oh, and one more thing, even though my baby sister is still battling with her illness, but I want you to know the Lord answered Tiffany and my prayers for Quentina to remember us and bring her awareness back and it came to pass!!!! She calls me and remember me! Thank YOU JESUS!!! So I believe God for greater things. It's all done in Jesus' name. Can't nobody tell me Jesus doesn't answer prayers! There is no secret to what the Lord can do! So, all of you who are expecting for a miracle or miracles. He will perform miracles in your lives for 2012! Just love Him with all your heart, just really, really love Him and believe in Him. And God will SHOW UP AND SHOW OUT on Your behalf! 2012 is a turnaround year, so expect great things and if it hasn't happened yet, hang on, He's going to BLESS YOU REAL GOOD! Be blessed, stay blessed because you ARE BLESSED! And know You are a King's Kid! Just know you're BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED! GO AHEAD AND GET YOUR BLESSINGS, FOR THEY ARE LONG OVERDUED!!!!!
  18. God bless you, Destine, I pray that all is well with you. This is me asking and adding what I think, for I need to pray on your situation and hear from God concerning you. I don't want to give you any wrong advice. As I am reading your post, I was trying to figure out what do you mean by wear it??? Or did I miss something altogether? From what I'm sensing so far, if I am wrong, tell me, but i it's on point let me know, is your mother angry about you and Tyler? Is Tyler your boyfriend? I want you to know I'm not meddling, but I want to fully understand what the situation is ... because it's important as believers that we are specific in prayer, so when we intercede for those who ask us to pray for them, we will petition before God to move on your behalf, plus, it's not healthy to withhold anything if you need a spiritual release for your mind and soul, so you can move forward without feeling any guilt or condemnation. And it's okay to be fully honest, Destine, that's what sets us free when we keep it real. As Cholette eloquently states, "That's how God Roll!" I loved how she stated this because God really is COOL like that!
  19. you're welcome, Astra!!!! There's power in agreement! As God's Word says in Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. ... We walk by faith. :)
  20. Amen!!!! I'm telling you, He's not a Genie in a Bottle. I don't like deception and people in my life have deceive me, that's why I'm against it. It keeps you bound and hurt. And how is God glorified in that? I'm learning this more and more each day! You just made my heart smiled. Yes, God does answer prayers but according to His Will and for our good. For He knows what is best. I'm glad this made you smile and reached your heart as well. I was trying to lighten it up just to make a point lol and it worked. I sincerely apologize for getting kind of angry but the Lord kept bringing this before me that He wasn't happy about this deception. But if God doesn't condone deliberate rebellion, why should we, when we're walking in the light? It's not right. Acts 5 states this that God doesn't like to be lied to, especially when He already witnessed what had taken place. I'm learning everyday that everything God puts in the Bible, is there for a reason: when we messed up, when we need His guidance, why it's not good to commit sin repeatedly or comfort. Whatever it is we need, it's all there. He loves us enough to set us free! :)
  21. Yes, touching and agree, we decree it by faith it is DONE! In Jesus' Name AMEN!!!!!! :)
  22. Amen, Astra!!!! This is confirmation and you're truly walking with God, you're worshipping Him in Spirit and Truth! Everything God just used to say is on POINT! Thank you for backing up God's message to Cloud. This is very serious and God wouldn't have me to say it if it weren't SO! Flesh MUST die, there's no other way around it. God is very merciful and filled with love, but He doesn't condone foolishness and you're very right you explained the difference in falling flat on your face to get it right and God sustain you with His Glory versus openly sinning and still think that God is okay with it. That's how we as children of God learn! God bless you, this up lifte my soul today. I love how God reconfirms what He is sayin. It's up to us to listen. He has to take everything that is not of Him out of us, to get us where we need to be in Him. ;) And God is saying to him the door is open, but he must be fully honest and be at the end of himself, so God can step in! :) And I love what You said Don't pity your flesh, it does not have any pity or mercy on you -get it's desires killed in you! For flesh REALLY is a mess!
  23. God bless everyone who will be reading this. I pray that you are having a blessed day inspite of the good or the bad that is happening to you at this moment. Last night was definitely a turn in events and when you've been walking closely with God like I do, nothing surprises you anymore especially when Satan is involved, the scripture 1 Peter 4:12-13: Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing has happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy. May ths word encourage you and inspire as God has given this scripture to me just now. And as I feel His Presence while typing this to you all, there's a word He wants me to give to you. He wants me to lift up you hearts and keep on loving Him no matter what is going on in your life today. As hard and hurtful this is for me to write, the Lord wants me to write this anyway. Last night, I experienced Satan here and it didn't really surprise me because I know for certain I am on the right track. The more I meditate on 1 Peter 4:12-13, the more it rings true. In my eight years of being with God, strange things have happened to me and it made me scratch my head and say to the Lord, "Lord, what did I do wrong?" But then the Lord brought His prophecy to my rememberance in February 2003 was the year God saved me, cleansed me and filled me with the Holy Ghost. He told me during these times I will experience persecution, loneliness, and when things seem to be going good they would fall apart, but through it all, His Glory will shine down on me when it seems I can't go on no more." I'm crying tears of joy right now, because I really am at my end. If I told you all the Hell I went through last year, most of you would ask me, "How are you still standing?" I can only tell you as a living witness for Jesus Christ, it's His mercy and grace that is keeping me going. You see, I've came to the realization, that I cannot make it on my own. That I need His help daily. You want to know the secret of truly being with God: NEVER PRETEND OR ASSUME. February 27th 2012 will make it nine years the Lord have saved me and kept me, but I work on my own salvation with fear and trembling. Wherefore, my beloved, as you always obeyed, not as much as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work on your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which works in you to both will and to do of his good pleasure.. Phil 2: 12-13. This is where Paul was speaking to the church of Christ's humility. It's a reason why Paul stated this as the Lord poured this scripture in his heart to speak to the people. We can easily fall into sin when we give gateway to the devil and dance the waltz with him. We must be very careful of falsely criticizing and calling God's true servants false. When God comes to us, He does a gentle pulling when He want to consume things that are not of Him out of us. Salvation is a daily thing, for we're all work in progress. I apologize to you all that you had to witness of how real this spiritual warfare REALLY is. Paul was really overwhelmed in the Holy Spirit when stating this because our salvation/relationship with Jesus is a personal thing and this is something we shouldn't take lightly. Paul's heart was really after God because he didn't want the people to prove to him that they know of God, but he wanted them to get to really know Him behind closed doors. There's a difference between knowing of God and having Bible knowledge versus knowing God and having God given insight to what He is really saying to us. It's up to us to take the ear plugs that is clogged deeply in our spiritual ears. And it grieves God when we slaughter each other daily in the Spirit. When I first got saved and I came out to New York on my own with only 200 dollars to my name. I was scared but God blessed me with a job a week after I moved there. But when things got bad with a girl who I thought was my friend, I moved to my cousin's house and she was a woman who claimed to be "living for God." Spiritual deepness in God isn't boasting how much you memorize scriptures of showing you have this elite knowledge of Him, rather, it is a deep Spiritual Connection between you and Jesus. It takes discipline to quiet your spirit in Him. If you really want to know who God really is, Ephesians 5: 6-12: Let no one deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. But do not be partakers with them. For you were sometimes darkness, but now you are of light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfrutiful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. And this scripture meshes well with Galatians 5:22-26: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering (patient), gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance (self-control), against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh of affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another,envying one another. So, you see, God's word is making it very clear that we cannot have light (God's love) and darkness (Satan's wicked pleasure to harm) being in us. It's either one or the other. As a woman of God, I cannot stand by and let anyone think it's okay to blatantly sin, when God has convicted my heart to know the truth for myself. Cholette and Connie had both verified when God gave me His Word and confirmation to them and I have never met them in my life and how could I know these things??? It's only through God's Holy Spirit. And even when astra confirmed how God used me to speak to her heart, that is nobody but God. I'm not ashamed to say it I have a HUGE problem when people pretend to be with God when they really are not. They speak with lip service, but their hearts are FAR from God. And God is not in that, you can't convince me otherwise. I'm speaking God's truth and the truth shall set you free. You can't fool someone who is observant and filled with God's Holy Ghost. He will show you exactly what a man or woman is all about when you interact with them. God doesn't keep things from those who really worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. I love passing on the Word of God especially when God hears people's request and their hearts are aching for freedom and a BREAKTHROUGH! Because that is a personal conviction between God and them of what He has spoken to their spirit before I came along into their lives. So I give God GLORY for these special gifts He has given me and I am truly honored that He trusts me that much with them: for the gifts of discernment, insight, prophecy and senstivity are powerful and they are not to be ABUSED for selfish and fleshly purposes to prove to yourself and others how much you know of Him. It's devastating when people play church. Matthew 6:24, Revelations 3:15-16, and James 1:8 is there for a reason. God doesn't want us to give half of us, He wants all of us. He wants us to make Him first in everything we do. I've seen it time and time again where people are so FULLY PERSUADED that God is with them when I see the exact opposite. I loathe hypocrisy because it's a delusion scheme that Satan uses to pull people further away from God and having them believe God is still with them. My friends laugh at me all the time when I say this and even my sisters. "Denial is one step closer to delusion." There's power in this statement. I will happily explain to you what goes on in a hypocrite's mind: "I listen to the word of God. I simply come down the alter and confess I'm a sinner and dress the part. I want people to believe I am a man/woman of God. I will memorize the scriptures and show them that I am full of God's knowledge and I will soon be recognized as a man/woman of God." You see it all the time, where false prophets on television, talk of wealth and prosperity and encouraging people and twisting the word of God with THEIR BELIEFS. If you don't believe me, humor me and watch them on tv one day, and ask for God to show you what they are really preaching and when you read God's word for yourself, God will open your spiritual eyes to see this contradicts the word of God. And be not deceived, beloved. Satan knows how to connivingly use God's Word for his evil pleasure. I know this is long, but I have one more story and I'm off. I never forgot before I moved in to my apartment in 2008 and I was facing such a rough time. During the winter time, I was living in a SRO (Single Room Occupancy) for women. If you've seen where I was living and you would look at me, you would ask, "What's a young woman doing in a place with former addicts, women who came out of prison for murder and other charges and lesbians?" God kept me and spared, that's all I can say. One woman threatened to take my life while the other two women betrayed me. The woman who lived in room 25, I have given her 25 dollars so she could do whatever she wanted. That's her business and I wasn't going to meddle with that. Like a week later, Room 25 gave my money to the woman who lived in Room 26. And she spent my money, that I needed that week and had the nerve to get angry at me because I didn't want to talk to her. You see, when I get angry, you really don't want to know what I think, because I know it will not come out right and I always pray to the Lord to guard my tongue and give me exactly what to say. So she banged on my other neighbor's door Room 28 like a mad woman. Cursing me out and ruining my name, spreading untrue things about me to everyone in the building. One day, I was heading out with another roomate from room 21 and Woman room 26 started mess with me and the Lord's spirit fell on me with scripture Psalms 105:15, as she boldly came in my face, I said to her with no fear in my heart, "Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm." The Lord showed me she wanted to HURT ME physically. And she blatantly said in my face, letting the devil use her greatly. "You're not anointed. God is not with you." I cried day and night with how she ruined my name and mostly hurt my soul. And I cried tears of deep pain and groaning and the Lord heard my cry. We haven't spoken to each other in months and then the fall of 2008 came around and I was in the chinese restaurant, minding my own business, Woman room 26 was walking out side and saw me and she was in tears, the same TEARS she caused me to cry, and when God gives a warning to not harm those He has chosen, He means it and with a VALID and GOOD reason. That's why the scripture Galatians 6:7 makes this VERY CLEAR: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man/woman sows, that he/she shall also reap. God unleashed the devil loose on her for mocking His servant and it was bad, she came to me in tears when her daughter was on her death bed for giving birth to one of her grandchildren. And she asked me for forgivess and to pray for her. Now any person in the world would have slapped her, spit in her face, or walked away. But because I am a child of God, He was working on me and convicted my heart to forgive her and pray for her and we are no longer at odds with each other. Let this be a lesson learned, we must be very careful who we speak against especially in the household of faith!!!! I never forgot when I watched Tyler Perry's movie last year with Janet Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg and so many other women in the cast. I remember it was two gay men sitting behind me and when Whoopi's daughter in the scene slapped her. Their comments were, "Ooh, you never slap a church woman." Even though they are in sin, but even they have sense enough to know you don't harm God's servants. We're the apple of His Eye and He hears and answers our prayers. I'm not scaring anyone, but the Lord wanted me to explain to you all WHY God makes His Word ever present today and that it comes true. Everything that is in the Bible is put there for a reason and reasons our finite minds will hardly comprehend. But there is REDEMPTION, AMEN. See God loves a sincere broken heart and contrite spirit. When we realize what we have done and our hearts are severely broken from the stone that surrounds it, that is when God steps in. He can take the hardest of hearts and know how to break that unruly spirit, for nothing is too hard for God! God will fight your battles for you and always remember when the devil is flaring up in your face, know that God's GOT a BLESSING for you! Be encouraged and May He be with you daily. Love Him first with a deep, unexplainable passion that ONLY God can understand the love you have for Him and watch Him move on your behalf ;). Believe me, I know this because I've experienced this first hand! :) Be blessed.
  24. First of all, you're not getting on my nerves and you're attitude towards ME is not of Him. So I rebuke that spirit in Jesus name! You're letting SATAN playing you like a fiddle and don't lie to the Holy Spirit. The Lord told me to tell you this that YOU ARE playing on dangerous territory. You're not being honest and don't even think about lying for God is watching exactly what you say. I never make a statement on anything UNLESS God tells me so! I am very careful and FILLED with the HOLY GHOST. So, please be careful of what you say. You don't find it anywhere in the BIBLE where it says IT IS OKAY TO SIN! Obviously, this discernment and VISITATION is on POINT because if it isn't, you wouldn't have made an outlash just now and I am terribly offended. I am all about helping people but I am in agreement with the Lord, He is the true discerner and I asked Him for His discernment not my own and He gave it to ME. I don't CONDONE willful sinning! It's CONTRARY TO God's WORD! Don't get angry with me because you made a choice to deliberately sin. God send Nathan the prophet to tell David he was in error and when Nathan told David the parable, God made sure that He wanted David to know his sins are not hidden from Him and it's NOT okay to WILLFULLY SIN. Point blank. No, you don't fully get it and if you truly DO, you would know the story of Ananias and his wife Sapphira lied in Acts 5. And they made a HUGE mistake in doing so and they paid a horrible price because they knew exactly what they were doing and basically they said FORGET GOD, for we know WAY MORE than He does! And it's foolish to think we can outsmart God and do anything we want. I'm the REAL thing and I am not going to PET Your flesh just so you can be at ease. God always have to correct when NEEDED. It's better for you to be hot or cold for God than to be lukewarm and these are not MY WORDS, this is FROM God. Revelations 3:15-16 states this. This is what He says! Not me, for I am just His servant OBEYING Him to tell you what He said. I prayed and prayed carefully. Why is it that people always want to get the good word, but when they messed up, they get angry and place blame???? I never forgot when I didn't listen to God about staying away from this particular place, because I was lonely, I didn't see any harm because I just wanted to ease my mind, but God saw this man's heart TOWARDS ME and DELIVERED me not to go there EVER AGAIN. I acknowleged that I messed up and EARNESTLY repented of MY SINS and God instantly forgave me because He knows my heart and He's already fighting my battle for the man who ruined my name, and PAID his coworkers to STEAL my purse for me (people do anything for money) and I am waiting for the time to arrive because when God will send this man back to me as PROMISED, he will apologize to me in TEARS and I will be the one to show him what real forgiveness is all about! God meant what He said in Psalms 105: 15 "Saying touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm." I am God's prophet and I told you before I KNOW THE SCENT OF SATAN. And I am not ignorant to Satan's devices. Satan has deluded you to think that this isn't real, but this is very real. For God I live and for God I die. You know the tree by the fruit it bears. I don't have to prove anything to anyone, only those who really know the Lord knows who is really walking in Him. I know the hypocrites from the real. And the scent of satan is all in this. And your reaction is just like the Lord showed me that you would go off in a rage because you're angry with what you have done and the Lord is chastising you. You admitted to everyone on this board you WILLFULLY SIN! Cloud, I'm telling you out of love, it is NOT okay to deliberately SIN. It is not. The Lord is warning me to tell you again, it's not okay. And Someone who really cares about you will tell you the truth no matter what your response is. I'm past people cursing me out and getting mad at me for how God is dealing with me and this gift He gave me comes with responsibility, so I owe NO ONE an apology for what God has given me. The Holy Spirit doesn't spring out when we "want" it to, He's not a genie in a bottle that we demand the Lord what to say through His prophets. The eyes of the Lord are everywhere. But I already forgive you. For I walk and talk with God daily and I let Him have His way through me. And anyone who is worshipping Him in Spirit and in Truth will totally agree that it's not okay to blatantly sin and hurt God. So, I'm sorry you feel this way, but I have faith God is going to deal with you just the way He needs to get His point across that once you sincerely give your life to Him, you don't belong to you anymore, you belong to Him. So, if you're going to hate me, so be it. But I cannot take part in something I know in my heart and soul it's wrong. Everything I'm telling you is God's Word. I have no reason to deceive you and what would I gain from that? Nothing.
  25. God bless everyone. I hate I have to do this, but being as God's servant I cannot withhold information and I must do it because God is telling me to do it. Or ese God will hold me accountable for not speaking. After carefully praying, Cloud. This is the Word that I received from God: He doesn't want you lukewarm for Him. He doesn't want you serving Satan and Him too. It's imperative that you make a choice, you cannot waver like a sea. He doesn't want you pretending to serve Him, it must be geninue and sincere. The Lord is grieiving for you right now and I prayed and I am grieving too because the Lord really did visit you when you and I chat in the chatbox room. You're allowing Satan in and you're refusing to let God step in. But I am also hearing the Lord saying, His door to you is open, but when you are at the end of yourself that is when God wants you to come and truly surrender, or else the circle you're in, will always continue. He doesn't want you to come to Him because people are telling you to, you must have an earnest desire for yourself in order for God to be the head of your life. Revelation 3:15-16 and Matthew 6:24 verifies this and James 1:8. Salvation is not earned, nor through our "righteous" acts or think we can be good the next day or be bad the next, but it's a gift that God gave to all of us through Jesus Christ Our Savior. Please know, I know none of us are perfect and we ALL fall short of God's glory, but we as God's people must realize there is a FINE line of falling short and deliberately sinning. For I mess up too. When we truly understand why Jesus died for us, then salvation really starts kicking in. I never forget it's like Connie said, it's not about playing the right part in church or being comfortable for so long, but it's a PERSONAL thing between us and Him. He desires a relationship for us with Him. That's all He want is us to be close to Him. To love Him and let Him in. He wants to help us and deliver us out of our struggles and troubles. Always remember, as long as we're on Earth, we will have struggles, because if we have it all together, we would be in Heaven right now ;). So, I take my personal struggles and ask God daily to hep me because I realize and understand I can't do it on my own. After all, He's God and I can't wake out of bed unless He wants me to. So whoever needs encouragement, please know my heart goes out to you and my sincere prayer is that each and every one of you know God for yourself. There's nothing wrong with wanting to hear the Word from the Lord and to know if we're on the right path or not, but again, what I love about this site is that Mia and the Moderators encourages us to know God for ourselves. And I'm speaking from personal experience, I know first hand what being alone in God's presence is like. He desires for al of us to seek His Presence, His Love and Guidance and most of all just to talk to Him or there are many great things the Lord wants to reveal to all of us :). Be blessed everyone. Love all of you.
