Never Judge A Book By Its Cover It May Be Something You Need

Great things come in little packages.  Today at church I heard a sermon on fear and how it keeps you in your comfort zone. Fear is a thief because it robs you of so many things.  Fear keeps you from venturing out in to new things and hold you captive to old things. It confirmed so many things in my heart and gave me a new perspective on fear and how far reaching its tentacles. 

Today's sermon was given by a young woman of whom is not in my circle of people I would choose to minister, but God used this young woman to speak into my life. Never judge a book by its cover.  Boy, did I have some repenting to do - Thank you Jesus for showing me the ugliness and evil of prejudging others.

I believe in these last days God wants our focus, dependency, confidence and trust to be completely on Him.  As in a marriage we must forsake all others and cleave only to Him. Think it not strange the situations that seem to occur out of nowhere in your life.  I believe it is Gods gentle nudge drawing you to a place of intimacy with Him.  Remember, it is not about people and if this is the conclusion you come to, you will miss what God is doing. Jesus prayed for us to be one, John 17:20-23, but in arriving to this place God must deal with us individually. You may not understand it, others may not understand it, but let it go and flow with God.  There is a purpose for what is happening.  Simply put, God wants to do a work in you. He may be pruning, exposing, whatever it is, it is for our good. God does this because of His great love for us. However, I do believe God will set you apart for a season for His purpose.   


Sometimes I feel I am alone, but in reality I know I am not alone because God is with me.  And I know without a doubt God loves me and my life is in His capable, trustworthy hands and it gives me peace.  



For years I have prayed Psalms 51:10-13, "create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me". Today I pray this with such fervency and desire, because I want God to uproot anything in my life that will separate my soul from Him. 


There will be some in these last days, because of fear will not stand up for what the Bible calls sin. Many will compromise out of fear of losing their job, certain family members, friends, status and things they acquired. As I heard today at church, "fear is a bully" and its purpose is to keep you from obtaining all that God wants you to become in Him. 

It was an excellent message and I believe now is the time for Gods people to be a people of prayer, fearless, courageous, steadfast, uncompromising and uncomfortable.  Our heart must be surrendered to God if we are to shine bright in the time of darkness.

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...
