Send Your Spirit Lord


I recently attended a community event in my home town.  It is an annual event which has grown in popularity over the years. Visitors from far as Philadelphia to New York attend the event. Looking for something to do I remembered from last year fireworks commenced the ending of the festivity. It seemed innocent enough so why not. It was very hot that day so I waited until evening to attend.  When I arrived on site I could not believe what I was witnessing.  It was as if I walked in to the pit of hell.  I said to myself, "Lord what in the world is this mess". It wasn't the family friendly environment I was expecting. I saw women walking around trying to be sexy, butts hanging, breast on display. Drug addiction with some of the women was clearly evident. The men didn't look any better.  My heart became so overwhelmed. All I could do is pray. It is the same feeling I have when I go to the Flee Market near Camden, a inner city neighborhood. In the faces of the women I see the abuse, the drug addicted, women with rough looking exteriors, but on the inside they only want to be loved. These are precious precious souls who are passionately loved by God!!!

I finally found a place where I could sit and positioned my chair and blanket. Minutes later I moved to another location.  I could not get comfortable. The atmosphere was not right. I don't want to say the spirit of the Lord was not there because God is always at work.  It was a different spirit operating and his stench was in the air.  Fifteen minutes after I arrived I left.  How could anyone stay all day at this event? 


Isaiah 60:1-3

Arise, shine; For your light has come!  And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.  For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.  The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.


Lord we need a revival in the land.  We need a great out pouring of the Holy Spirit. I don't know what it's going to take to awaken the church from its slumber, but I say God do what you must do. There are no more grey areas, only black and white.  We must now make the choice to stand for righteousness or deal with the consequences of our silence.

 Forgive us God for our silence.  Forgive us God for wanting more sleep than prayer.  Forgive us God for being too busy to care for the lost. Turn our hearts back to you again. Move in us God and let us sense the urgency of the hour! Trouble us God until we trouble you - Amen!

Umbrella Lady

I have always admired this picture...the elegant lady with the umbrella...It reminds me of an expression my friend often says, " My Umbrella Has Holes ".  She was speaking of her life and some of the things she had experienced.  When I look at this picture I see my friend, an umbrella with out holes, happy, stately and strong. Do you ever feel like your umbrella has holes?  Life can sure make it feel that way at times.  Perhaps you are a single mother raising children on your own; or a college graduate having difficulty securing a job in your field. You may be a teenager feeling like you don't quite fit in. Maybe you are a victim of rape or incest and you feel so violated that you wonder if you will ever regain your life back. Perhaps you are sadden over a  loss of a job,or dealing with a sickness that have you asking, " Why Me ". These are certainly," My   umbrella has holes moments ". Although we may have our umbrella has holes moments/sea...

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 ...

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...
