What's Going On

I met a wonderful couple walking in the park the other day.  They were taking pictures of the sky and commenting how beautiful it was as I walked by. I yelled, "Its the glory of God".  The man asked  if I was a Christian and I said yes.  He ask what church do  I attend and I told him I fellowship at home. His face changed slightly as to be caught off guard by my answer. The gentlemen and his wife are Asian and he was trying to understand what is happening in the church.  He said, "The people live well and have no need of God; and many are leaving the church". 

  My response:  "Sir, some people have fallen away from the Lord, but many are leaving because they want God.  True believers are weary of watered down sermons, inter-faithism, embracing ungodly agendas and being entertained.  People are hungry for God and desire a deeper and  more intimate relationship with Him. 

  His response: "When you read the bible and you don't understand something, how will you learn? 


 My response, "The Holy Spirit will help you to understand.  He leads and guides in to all truth". (John 16:13)

 His response: "We are not to forsake the the gathering together with believers".  
(Hebrews 10:25)

 My response. "Sir, I have fellowship with other believers all the time.  We have fellowship in many places, restaurants, at someone's home or where ever we decide and encourage one another in the faith. The church is not a building, but a body of people who believe in Jesus Christ and have accepted Him as Lord and savior.  I treasure the relationship I have with  the Lord. Should the Lord lay on my heart to start attending a church I will obey". 

 Before we parted company, we joined hands in prayer and prayed  to the Lord. My new friends and I left encouraged in our walk with the Lord. It was a great time of fellowship, truly awesome!.

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...

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...

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 ...
