A Season Of Wondering

Before my conversion, I would compare my life to wandering in the wilderness.  I was wandering in a hopelessness that I had created through disobedience.  My life was aimless and without purpose.  I was lost and without hope.  But then one day someone threw me a lifeline, and I literally jumped at the opportunity to receive Christ as my Savior.  Suddenly hope flooded my spirit and God began to show me that He had a plan and a purpose for my life.  He began to expose the treasure that was buried deep inside of me.

I use to put on this façade of being tough and having a don’t care attitude.  But when Christ came into my heart, He began to melt away the hardness and I began to love people.  Oh yes, I have been hurt, even devastated at times, but Christ showed me that when we make a decision to love people, we will be hurt, but we can’t let that stop us because he has commanded us to love one another.  Not only that, but He demonstrated His love towards us by going to the cross.  God’s word is the only thing that keeps me going.

Consider my Jewish brethern who wandered in the wilderness for 40 years-going around and around the same mountain.  Just think-if they had only obeyed the Lord, they could have reached the Promise Land in 11 days.  I myself wandered in the desert for 28 1/2 years.  Somehow I knew that there was something better, but I just didn’t know how to attain it.  Often I wondered why I had to make all the dumb mistakes that I made before Jesus found me-you see I didn’t choose Him, He chose me.  But thank God he found me when he did.  Cause I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.  I was going down the same road, doing the same dumb things and ending up back in the same place I started-sound familiar? (Insanity)

Thank God that Christ died to give us a hope and a future.  We don’t have to live waiting to die, but with God’s help, we can fulfill everything that he has ordained for us.

Miriam

Miriam was the big sister of Moses. Her name (sometimes rendered as Mary in English) means 'bitter' although it could also signify 'one who loves or is loved by Yahweh'. Yahweh means 'the self-existent one'. Yahweh is one of the ways the children of Israel referred to God. Meet the family Amram and Jochebed were the father and mother of Miriam, Aaron and Moses. Moses was the youngest of the three yet became the leader of the pack (Exodus 2:3-4; Exodus 6:20; Numbers 26:59). Moses was the man who led Israel out of Egypt. As the big sister of the family Miriam knew all the secrets. Women often get to know about things that men don't. When Pharaoh of Egypt decreed the death of all Israel baby boys in a desperate attempt to curb the growth of Israel, Amram and Jochebed put baby Moses into a waterproof basket and set it on the river in an attempt to save his life. It was Miriam who was watching the basket when the daughter of Pharaoh discovered it. It w...

What Happen To Your Rulership?

My desire is for women to be restored to their rightful place of rulership of Grace, Femininity, Beauty, Temperance, and Excellence.  Together they work from within and shine outwardly. The enemy of our soul works counterclockwise in that he uses the exterior and destroys what is on the inside. There is a direct correlation between rulership and judgment.  In order to effectively rule, there must be the practice of sound judgment.  When rulership is void of sound judgment, a poor rulership is inevitable.  Rulership is a choice.  You can either rule or be ruled.  Walking in rulership is important because it sets order and establishes boundaries.  God (YAH) has given us rulership over our conduct, appearance, and speech.  These things have rulership over you by choice. Rulership is the difference between YAH's people and the world. Rulership is living the way YAH (God) intended for us to live before the foundation of the world. It is time ...

Deborah

Deborah was a prophet, a leader (otherwise known as a Judge) in Israel as well as the wife of Lappidoth (Judges 4:4).  Deborah means 'bee'. Bees are responsible for pollination of flowering plants. Pollination is what creates seeds that grow into other plants. One third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination of plants and bees play a major role in this 1 . The biblical Deborah, like a bee, fulfilled an active and vital role in bringing life to the community. Background After the death of Joshua, the man who had led the Israelites into the land of Canaan, God raised up Judges to lead and rule Israel. The first Judges God used were Othniel, Ehud and Shamgar (Judges 3). And then came Deborah. In Deborah's day Israel had no overall leader. Everyone did whatever they pleased and the nation fell into sin and were oppressed by the Canaanites (Judges 21:25). Jabin was the Canaanite king during the era of Deborah. Sisera was the commander of Jabin's...
