God Is A Finisher

God is a finisher…He who has begun a good work in you is faithful to complete it (Philippians 1:6). God is a finisher. His word will not return void, empty or unaccomplished, but it will accomplish complete (or finish) what it was sent to do in your life. (Isaiah 55:11) We are clay in the hand of the potter. I thank Him for the shaping and molding, and the reshaping and remolding, the refining and the polishing. I thank Him because He knows us best and He knows exactly how to

The love of GOD can carry you through anything. Love never fails. On your best days God's love is carrying you. On your worst days God's love is carrying you.

2021-The Year Of The Restoration Of All Things

I believe the Word of the Lord for 2021 is that… It is a year for the beginning of the restoration of all things. God is restoring order. Restoring divine order to the church, restoring divine order to the family, restoring divine order to the nations, and restoring divine order within us as individual sons and daughters of God. We have prayed thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Well Heaven has divine order…The need for divine order is in order r

STEPS

Order Our Steps….Psalms 37:23, “The steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord and He delights in His way”. What I love about this scripture is that it tells us not only are our steps ordered and established by the Lord. It tells us that in order for you and I to get to where we are going, in order for us to keep our appointment with destiny, we have to take the steps. We must keep walking, putting one foot in front of the other. God orders them…I think about where I am

Your Due Season

While it may seem that the seeds you have sown are not growing…the seeds you have planted you’ve yet still to see the harvest... rest assured the seeds in the ground they are producing…. they are being watered, fertilized, and tended to underground in a place you cannot see. But one day at the right time in the right season, you will see the bud on the branch, then you’ll see the bloom and not just one bloom but multiple manifestations at one time and you will see the beauty

Thank You Father For The Pressing

Thank you Father for the pressing…There is power in pressure. Power in the pressing. Thank you for the crushing Lord God… When you're pressed God is pressing to get the best of you out. Leaving the old behind with whatever situation or circumstance is being used to press you. The best illustration for what we’re experiencing is a winepress: A winepress is a device used to extract juice from crushed grapes during wine making. There are a number of different styles of presse

Keep Fighting-Don't Give Up -Don't Give In!

Rocky Balboa in the Rocky movies didn’t win every round. In fact some rounds he looked pretty bleak broken and busted. I mean that eye was swollen! He could barely see but he kept on fighting and after that fight he kept fighting and training and training and fighting until he picked himself up with his coach and cheerleader pushing him. A champion doesn’t become a champion by winning every round from the beginning of the fight. They work at it...they lose some rounds they l

Thank You, Father, For The Rain

This Sunday evening my husband and I decided to walk up Kennesaw Mountain with our puppy Kona. The walk up was fierce. I was sweating, heart racing, calves burning. The walk up the mountain is always more challenging than coming back down. Every time we take this journey up the mountain, I am just pacing myself and waiting to get to the top because the challenge to get there is just that-CHALLENGING. I enjoy the scenery every time, I enjoy the health benefits of the hike, I l

Changing Of The Guards

There is a Changing of the Guards taking place in the spirit. During this period in 2020, people are being repositioned. They are being assigned and reassigned. We think we were not prepared for this day, but God has been training us all along. We are learning as we go. Learning as situations arise because we have never faced this before. Sometimes events must take place for us to remember who is really in charge. Who it is that establishes and reestablishes order. We are bec

God We Need Courage

Most of us want to obey the call of God, but we need the courage and the discipline to follow through...the faith to follow through. Hebrews 11:1, "Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen”. Courage is the fuel to walk out what you hope for without seeing the whole picture. 2 Corinthians 5:7, “We walk by faith and not by sight.” It takes courage still to do that… What has God mandated of you? What is He by His spirit prompting you to do?

One Nation Under God. Are We? Under God?

This war cannot be won without God. We as a nation have allowed protest of the Gospel for the sake of not offending people’s personal choices and beliefs yet it is the Gospel that has the answers to societies problems. We choose to offend God instead of defending Him and the righteous law He gave us to govern ourselves by. Does God really need our defending? No not really. Yet He chooses to use us. We are His mouthpiece. In the core of a believer’s soul there should be a ye

A Call For Real And True Leadership

In a world where chaos and confusion are ramped because of a lack of unity and clear vision we are forced to think of the qualities and qualifications of a good leader. Godly leaders don't seem so common. I am not saying perfect leaders but Godly leaders. First and foremost we need leaders that lead with compassion and conviction. We need leaders who lead with wisdom and integrity, consistency and mental stability. Leaders who lead with humility who acknowledge that they can

God Showed Me A Curtain... And Then An Eagle

God showed me a curtain…Many are called, but few are chosen (Matthew 22:14). God is opening and pulling back the curtain in this season on those He has chosen to carry out the gospel and build His kingdom. He says we have rehearsed long enough and now it is time to move front and center and display the glory of God in your life. Present Jesus. We wait and wait sometimes because we lack the security to come from behind the curtain and walk out on the stage or platform God has

Tell Jesus Messiah

The woman at the well began ministry the same day she received a word of deliverance from Jesus. The one encounter with God was enough to start the mission and ministry of reconciliation. She couldn’t wait to go clean up her act and then go tell the story. But I believe that she was healed AS she went. Luke 17:14 There was no time to go sit and become theologically sound. The only thing she knew theologically was what she had experienced and that was her message. Go tell wha

You Are More Than What You Have

You are more than what you have or don’t have. God looks beyond your weaknesses and seeks to optimize your strengths because He can help you turn your weaknesses into opportunities. He will clothe you with grace and humility. He sees you. When God sees you He sees His image. (Genesis 1:26-28) He sees who He created you to be. Not the flawed you that you and others see. The you that you and others have yet to see. The real you is the you that God pre-ordained and set apart f

Contend For The Faith

Contend for the faith. What does that mean and how do we do it? It means to do all you can to walk uprightly before the Lord. It means with all your might to uphold and declare and assert the Word and principles of God in your life. In times of uncertainty we must be careful to not let down our guard. To contend for something means you have to fight for it because you will have resistance to whatever it is your contending for. Faith and righteousness is something you never

Who are you? What makes you special? Well…there is only one you. You are uniquely you. One of a kind. Even if you are a twin you are intricately designed to be you. If you were not here something would be missing-your smile, your personality- bubbly, outgoing, conservative, flamboyant, empathetic, emotional, not so emotional, super-smart-gifted, quiet, bold, introverted, extroverted, humor, lack of humor LOL, artistic, not so artistic, computer wiz, or maybe just simply good

The Breath Given and The Breath We Share

God breathes into your nostrils every single day if you are reading this blog. We are privileged with the gift of the breath of life. Every few secs of every day there are new born babies taking their first breath and there are people of all ages taking their last breath. There is something precious and sacred about the first and the last breath. There is something also precious about all the breathes in between the first and the last. A baby being born is a miracle, God desi

The Light And The Glory

I hear the sound of rejoicing and I hear the sound of victory. 1 Corinthians 15:55, “Where Oh death is your sting? grave where is your victory?” We as believers have an expected end. Oh but for the joy that is set before us just like Jesus in Hebrews 12. It talks about how Jesus endured the Cross regardless of the pain and all that came with it; there was a joy He had because He knew there was a promise and a goal in His suffering. We share in a joy set before us because w
