Faith, Endurance, and Obedience

Today's Message:

Faith, Endurance, and Obedience

I was asked to give a Testimony of my Faith at a Women's Conference in Long Branch, NJ in 2011. I Pray that these words Empower you to live for your future, instead of your past.

GOD IS Sovereign; and no demon can contend with his plans.

On the last day of my trip a young woman gave her life to the LORD.

Let us seek the Kingdom of GOD in all things.

My Speech:

Faith, Endurance, and Obedience.

I want you to know that Faith is activating the Power of GOD to show up and produce results in your life.

My Faith came from Finally Achieving Integrity through Healing, and that Healing was through the Power and Love of Jesus Christ. My Strength (in being a teenage mother, homeless, losing four loved ones in one year among the lost my own child), came from my Belief that GOD IS in spite of my circumstance.

This I found in Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'.15. God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation.

GOD saw the suffering of the Israelites for forty years, and one day chose a vessel that was wanted for murder, and had a speech impediment to bring them to a land full of milk and honey because of a promise he spoke to Abraham.

HE IS in spite of________________!!!

This profound revelation and renewed mind produced perseverance in experiencing long suffering, and opposition that life presented me, and through it, obedience was cultivated by the WORD and perfected in me through Faith in GOD to give me an Abundant Life in Christ Jesus, who cried out, "It is finished!" on the Cross for you and I.

Paul told the Romans 5 3-5 NIV
Romans 5: 3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4. perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

I don’t know the height or depth of your mountain, or how far or behind you are in getting to the top to reach your dream, your next job, your next business, your next level in life, or your next healing and deliverance, but I can tell you that my stilettos have seen the top of my mountain, and Faith was there to congratulate me.

I've never prayed for wealth. I've never prayed for anything monetary in gain, I only prayed for what was needed. I've prayed daily to be set free from the prince of this world to emerge unique in every way.

Now from my view, I see more mountains that I want to climb, and their heights are higher, their depths are more profound, but I've changed my attire, my attitude, even my shoes, to go conquer it in the Name of Jesus.

I want you to know that you are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus; you are a Deborah, David, Peter, and Timothy in your own right and capable of leading others into their destiny.

It takes one minute to confess Christ, one minute to decide enough is enough, one minute to decide ain't no mountain high enough, one minute to put on your shoes, and one minute to steady your pace up your mountain.

That’s a total of Five minutes to have Faith Empower you to do what somebody said you could not do.

Don’t let your mountain speak to you, speak to your mountain. Don’t let your mountain change your perspective, or affect your self-esteem.

Don’t let your mountain keep you from being in Christ, doing everything he has called you to do. Don’t allow fear to defeat you when GOD is trying to bring out the Best in you.

In conclusion, in Christ we can do all things, but without him our mountains are steep. There are wolves hiding in sheep's clothing that will devour us. The terrain is rocky, but with him we can walk through the valley of the shadow of death unscathed.

Friends, God's WORD does not return to him in void, but it is fulfilled in the entity to which he sent it to.

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Be Well in Jesus Name!
