In our youth we are immature, and we often live in the moment.

Some, however, do not outgrow the sword of their youth, but wield it more to satisfy the disappointments of their past.

Men and Women looking for love in all the wrong places often mature in other aspects of their lives, but not when it comes to relationships. They mix carnality and the requirements from GOD and end up in a crooked relationship established in error because of a lack in them.

Jesus told the rich ruler one thing he lacks is a giving spirit.

Beloved,

You lack the eyes of GOD, and his heart.

1 Samuel 16:7 KJV
But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

When you look in the mirror what do you see?

When men and women give me the characteristics of their ideal mate it starts with the appearance of, and then a list of godly character follows.

This is the sword of thy youth at work.

1 Corinthians 13:11 NIV states:
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

Men and women of GOD are acting, thinking, and reasoning like little children that have not been taught by their Father in regards to the appearance of a thing.

2 Timothy 3 NIV states:
1.But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2.People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3.without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4.treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5.having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
6.They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7.always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth


And men lured captive by the Delilah spirit, and laying aside their purpose, and power via the Holy Spirit.

Judges 16 NIV States:
4. Some time later, he fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek whose name was Delilah. 5. The rulers of the Philistines went to her and said, “See if you can lure him into showing you the secret of his great strength and how we can overpower him so we may tie him up and subdue him. Each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekelsa of silver.”6. So Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me the secret of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”

Let us seek the perfect will of GOD and get his approval. For many have eloped on Yahweh, and have not received his Blessing.

It is a beautiful thing to be joined as a suitable helper and loved as Christ loves the church.

Ephesians 5:25 NIV states:
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her

As well as being a husband that honors his wife, and professes she is Blessed among all women.

1 Peter 3:7 states:
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

Seek ye to be changed by GOD, and called a son or a daughter in Truth, and learning what it is to submit and be selfless before you say I do.

Kingdom Blessings: to all Marriages that have been purified by the consuming fire of the Most HIGH.

I thank the LORD often that I can see through his eyes and have his heart.

The Main Thing

I have been accused of many things in my life...some due to a misunderstanding, some due to second hand information, and some of one's own heart, but I have never been accused of not Loving GOD.

This is the main thing...People who look for fault in you, often find their own mistakes by examining you.

I desire only to see people living for Jesus in truth and as he moves me to speak to someone about a matter. Other than that I can care less sort of speak, because your faults, flaws or short comings will not keep me from the inheritance or abundant life that I so love in Christ Jesus.

God cares about the main thing...everything else is trivial.

1 John 2: 5-6
But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him:Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

Be Blessed by the Best!!!

Suffer not the little children

Beloved,

The reason why you have a difficult time with your spouses' children or child is because you have no motherly spirit towards the child. Outwardly, you give the appearance of a devoted wife desiring for the family to “Just get along,” but inwardly, you are competing with this child for the affection of his/her parent.

This does not foster a loving relationship built on trust and communication. You have to first pray and ask GOD to show you what you lack, instead of blaming the child’s mother for your apathy.

GOD is not pleased. This Season, ask GOD for the gifts of genuine love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control and watch it overflow and overtake what opposes a Godly Family.

Suffer not the little children, and esteem someone else higher than yourself.

You cannot cut the child out of the family dynamic. Although your children have the inheritance, these little ones have the blessing. Trust GOD. There is more than enough love to go around, and maybe, just maybe, GOD will provide more than enough provisions so that no one should lack.

It is not your ability to care for your own children that makes you a good mother; it is the ability to demonstrate the love of GOD to a child that does not share your DNA.

Be an uncommon mother and noble woman.


Proverbs 31 NIV
28.Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
29“Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.

Let God Finish the work he started in you.

Beloved,

There was a period in my life where I was a mess. Five months after the loss of my beloved daughter Leah, I mustered up enough strength to find a job. Shortly thereafter, I found a better job and a bought an SUV.

In spite of the external presence of GOD in my life, I was not restored inside, and I felt it.
  
But somehow, by the grace of GOD, I was able to gather a crowd and share how good God has been to me, in spite of the pain I carried around each day from the loss of my child.

People responded to God’s mercy and grace, and we would gather during breaks or at lunch, sharing and/or shouting our personal testimonies. The LORD also gave me favor with my boss, and I was able to minister to others at the urging of the Holy Spirit, without reprimand.

It was during this time the LORD slowly began to do his work in me, because I was selfless and gave words of love, faith, and encouragement to others. I gave them, what I was not able to give myself. Selah!

I had a beautiful apartment and was able to care for my son on my own, but I was shopping at the goodwill for my business attire.

Beloved,

The LORD is in the business of elevating his Saints, even when they do not seek to be.

My assignment ended in that department and I found a job elsewhere, but a few months later I was back in a different department, and wearing clothes purchased from the department store.

“It is GOD that changes things in our lives effortlessly.”

A woman that knew me in my grief came up to me and said, “You look well.”

Beloved,

I was! I was made new. I resembled the image that GOD carved out for me.

It's like going to a doctor to get cosmetic surgery, and he shows you a computer generated image of what you will look like after the operation.

You see I did not change my hair color, or do a makeover, as we see on television. I allowed the renovation process to be seen by all for my Father to get the GLORY.

He is the Great Physician!

Keep in mind, Jesus was a carpenter, and there is no other foundation that can be laid to build a house that will not fall.

I did not layer my pain with further heartache in crooked relationships, or running to the world and its parlor tricks for comfort. I stayed at the Masters’ feet, waiting to be a Masterpiece.

People often tell me that I look like my sons’ sister, or that I can’t be 34 years old. I tell them about the grace of GOD upon my life. I'm not special in my own eyes, but I am the apple of God's eyes. And he said, "You shall not look like what you've been through."

You may be reading this and doing an inventory of your past and present circumstances and think, "I have a long way to go," or "my story is so painful." We all think that until we hear something on the news that makes us grateful for our portion.

God will not give you a consultation to determine what he can do, GOD says,  "I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" Isaiah 43:19

Let GOD finish the work he started in you, in spite of the renovation process.
It is all about GOD getting the Glory so focus, Beloved, on the main thing.

Psalm 138:8
The LORD will perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O LORD, endures forever: forsake not the works of your own hands.

Dear Young Brothers and Sisters

I thank GOD each day for my life and family. His grace is sufficient for us.

I share of myself as the Holy Spirit leads me because I am what Jesus died for on Calvary.

Young People need to know that you can be sold out for the LORD. I gave my life to Christ at 21 and I am now 34. I did not backslide but worked out my wickedness with Fear and trembling. It can be done.

This is not a boast, but too many are Saved by Grace and Captive by Choice.

I have not arrived this I know for the Bible tells me so, but I work towards the mark.

No more excuses young people. You have to look to Jesus who is the author and finisher of our Faith and learn and apply his Holy WORD.

Hebrews 12:2
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God

Partially nude pictures do not give the appearance that you are in his image, some of the pages you like on Facebook do not give the appearance of his image.

Romans 6:13
Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.

You may be young but life is not promised to you, and you have to flee from the desires of your youth.

2 Timothy 2:22
Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

GOD is holding you accountable young ones even though you were not taught from childhood.

You received the TRUTH of the Gospel from someone.

GOD has given you a life line will you accept it or drown in foolish pride.

Steadfast in 2012

We had an Awesome Fellowship going in to 2012 and we thank Yahweh for it.

The WORD was Steadfast in 2012 and here is part of that teaching.

When we recognize that GOD IS and he is in control in spite of. The way is made clear.

Tonight as we go in to 2012, you may be asking yourself, what is the way?

The way is simple Saints.

Please turn to Psalm 23 Amp Bible

1.THE LORD is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.

2. He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.

3. He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him--not for my earning it, but] for His name's sake.

4. Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.

5. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with [a]oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.

6. Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.

It is imperative that we declare that it is the LORD that will tend to our needs whether it is emotionally, financially, or physically.

We will believe his report and trust his guidance for what is to come in 2012.

We will not be led astray by idolatry “people, places, things and graven images, but be directed by the Most High in prosperous ventures and ideas.

The way abounds in peace, when others in the world abound in chaos.

The way is a restoration process.

The way is paved with joy, holiness and a new anointed to do the work he has prepared our hands in 2012.

The way has already been cleared by the Father in spite of what we may walk in “the lions den per se” we will not be overtaken but shut up the lion with the sword of the spirit.

It is not us but the LORD that will rebuke the enemy and those that fall under his influence on our behalf.

Be Alert!

Saints,

We will find ourselves with more than enough to help those in their time of need that may be weak in their Faith but trending nevertheless.

It will be by God’s Grace, and God’s Mercy that we will remain steadfast in 2012.

I was grateful to GOD for this revelation and I pray it Empowers you to let him lead you in 2012.

Dear Sisters

I want to encourage you to seek the LORD in your purification process before you even think about being joined to a man.

It is honor in being chosen to be a wife, but it is nothing in comparison to being a chosen vessel by GOD and receiving his approval.

Often when the desire to be a wife leads to one to do things out of desperation, it is a clear indication that GOD is not through with you yet.

I often see post of women that advice, “That a man must be whole to love you,” but Beloved, you have to be whole as well.

Most people that give one sided advice have not been processed themselves.

Psalm 1
1.Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. 2.But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3.He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.

GOD is a GOD of order. And he made Adam who was a perfect being and then he created Eve from his rib.

Dear one,
It is the man who has to be whole for a woman, that was CREATED for him.

Genesis 2:20 NIV
20. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21.So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. 22. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

GOD has to create in you a clean heart and a steadfast spirit to be a suitable or as I like to call us “Purpose Driven mates.”

Dear Sister,

It is not until you fall in love with the Father, that he will give you his approval.

I am not a wife because I said, “I do.” I am a wife because I love GOD first and became his daughter.

Let all things be as the Father ordained, anything else Grace will not abound.

Agape

Beloved,

Some will be exposed this New Year for being lovers of themselves instead of having the love of GOD and his righteousness.
(Scripture Reference 2 Timothy 3 Verses 1-5)

They have become victims of regret and lack confidence in “GOD” who will exalt them in due time.
(Scripture Reference 1 Peter 5:6)

They will run after opportunities that the devil will create instead of waiting for the Door the Father will open, “that no man can shut.”
(Scripture Reference Revelation 3:8)

They have not learned certain Kingdom principles and are equating Godly victory to worldly success but the world’s way of living produces a different outcome. (Scripture Reference Romans 12:2)

They seek fame by any means necessary and will stamp God’s approval on the package deal.
(Scripture Reference Psalm 25 12-14)

They will be slain by their own sword, for they are always learning but denying certain truths.
(Scripture Reference Proverbs 5:23)

Beloved,

Some will repent before they sign the dotted line, but some will fall away into the hands of the one that never knew them anyway.

Acts 19 NIV
15. [One day] the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?” 16. Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.

In all that we do this New Year, let us count the cost and not lose it all, our godly integrity and our crown.

Every Year Is My Year

Beloved,

So many have already declared that this is their year, yet I have not been compelled to boast such a claim.

According to my measure of Faith I believe that every year is my year and believe that each year according to the WORD of GOD has brought me to a higher dimension in his Kingdom.

Psalm 23:6 Amp Bible
Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.

Let us declare that his grace and mercy is sufficient for us, but in this season he will be doing a new thing, and we have to recognize and apply the changes.

Isaiah 43 Amp Bible
18. Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old.
19. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

I have not missed my mark but look forward to what GOD requires of me this New Year.

Beloved,

Be grateful.

2011, has passed but its year was sufficient.

You are still here when so many have fallen to sleep or fell away from the truth.

But you Beloved are still holding on to GOD’s unchanging hand.

Agape

Beloved,

You desire fame, but at what cost?

Is it not enough that your name is written in the Book of Life?
Is it not enough that the angels are at your disposal in your time of need?
Is it not enough that the LORD has given you Authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you?

Is it not enough that the Father knows you by name?

Beloved, count the cost.

Matthew 16:20 NIV
What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

Agape

Beloved,

Whatever you may be struggling with that is beyond your strength, I encourage you to confess it to the LORD. He already knows, but is waiting for you to take it to the throne of Grace.

Put your heart before the LORD and he will mend or change it, put your mind before the LORD and he will renew it, and commit yourself to him, and the Holy Spirit will bear witness of you.
(Read all Psalm 32)

You were made in his image, and therefore you are his creation, but to be his child you have to adhere to his Holy WORD.

Jesus said,

Matthew 11:30
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

It is the burden of sin that weighs a person down, and it is guilt and shame that condemns.

This is not the attributes of GOD, but of flesh and the evil one.

Do not continue to tussle with your flesh with no armor.

Ephesians 6:11
Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

I touch and agree with you today that the spirit of the flesh will not have dominion of you, your mind, or your soul. I declare that your body is dead to sin and resurrected in Christ Jesus to abide in joy, peace and Holiness. I command every demon to flee in Jesus Name and every foe masquerading as a friend is removed in Jesus Name. Amen

Let us walk in the Spirit and not by the Flesh.

Beloved,

I encourage you today to run your race looking ahead, and not behind, or glancing to see who is looking from the sidelines.

I have never been in favor of categorizing people as haters.

In my measure of Faith I believe that we often perceive words or actions of discouragement as the nature of the person, and not identifying the enemy.

Beloved,

We have only one enemy that attacks and influences others against us, but it is not flesh and blood we combat with, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

We have to put on our armor and focus on Jesus, “the Author and Finisher of our Faith.”

Mark 8 NIV states:
31. He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. 32. He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33. But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he Rebuked Peter. “GET BEHIND ME, SATAN!” he said. “You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”

Our desire should be that of the SON of Yahweh, which is to bring Glory to GOD, not ourselves.

We should desire the one who is operating in the flesh to be overtaken by the Spirit of GOD.

We should pray for them, and love them in spite of. For them to be strengthened to run their race without a stumbling block.

Command Satan to Get Behind You, and keep your focus on your goals, not what people are saying.

In the end our motivation should be living in GOD’s perfect will (in word, and action), not proving to others how fabulous we are living.
