Perfect Patience, Perfect Peace

One of the hardest thing for a child to do is wait.  They often say they can't wait for Christmas to be here, or they can't wait for summertime.  Well I'm here to tell you that not much changes as we become adults.  Waiting in the doctor's office or waiting on results from aggressive testing can be one of the most uncomfortable places to be.  The sooner we get done, the better ... or so we think.  Immediate is not always best.  The scripture tells us that something is birthed out of waiting.  You see patience is not just waiting, but it's waiting with an attitude of submission.  The product of every prayer and waiting is patience.  James 1:4 says, "But let patience have her perfect work, that
ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing".  According to what we've just read, patience works something in us and out of us.   The word, "work" means "the effectual result" in it's translation.  What comes to mind is how I use to watch my mom knead dough in order to make biscuits.  She would "work" the flour into the emerging dough in order to get the right consistency for a perfect biscuit to place on the family dinner table.

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 to take a long hard look in the mir
