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.

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 ...

Feed My Sheep

Jesus Reinstates Peter John 21:15-20 New International Version (NIV) When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said,  “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him,  “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time,  “Do you love me?”  He said, “Lord, you know all things;  you know that I love you.” Jesus said,  “Feed my sheep.     Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”   Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death ...

The Shunammite Women

2 Kings 4:8 - 37 The Shunammite woman was a wealthy and well respected person in the society. This is how the Bible described her. In Deborah we saw a leader, in Hannah a prayerful woman, in Abigail an intelligent woman and the Shunammite a wealthy and well respected person in the society. This gives us a true picture of how the Bible views woman. The Shunammite woman had a kind heart. Keeping your heart right, full of love and empty of bitterness is the secret of receiving from God. The Shunammite woman used her kindness and wealth to entertain a prophet (2 Kings 4:8-10). She got blessed with a child because of her kindness. This was inline with God's promise (Matthew 10:41). The Shu nammite woman had three qualities that are essential in every woman of God. Contentment  A kind heart (compassion)  Persistence The Shunammite woman's life teaches us important lessons about these three essential qualities. Contentment (1 Timothy 6:1- 10) When Elisha asked t...
