Not Your Average Valentine's Day


In a small town in the south a young woman is on an outing with her peers and two siblings.  She looks down and notices water running down her legs.  The young woman slips away from her group to a nearby doctor’s office.  The young woman goes in to labor and is tied to the table to keep from moving. She gives birth to a beautiful baby girl. The nurse quickly takes the baby to another room followed by the doctor.  When the doctor returns he tells the young woman her baby did not make it. So, the young woman gets dress, leaves the doctor’s office and rejoins her group.  No one was aware of what had transpired. Thinking about what happen, the young woman struggles with what she was told because she heard the baby cry. She again leaves the group and returns to the doctor’s office to ask if she could view the body.  The young woman is told by the nurse the baby’s body was wrapped in newspaper and discarded. For years this young woman would dream of hearing her baby cry and awake trying to follow the sound of the cry.  Now in her old age she still searches for her baby in the faces of those she comes in contact with saying, “Could this be the one”?  The old woman believes to this day that her daughter will find her.

A young girl dating and older man becomes pregnant.  To hide the affair he convinces her to have an abortion.  He instructs her not to tell anyone and that he would cover all expenses.  The young girl, afraid, and not sure of what to do complies.  At the clinic the young girl is secured to the table to keep from moving.  As the abortion is being performed the young girl would hear drip, drip, drip, as the life of her unborn baby is being sucked out.  On the inside the young girl is heavy with grief and begins to cry because she loves her baby. Her parents/family members were unaware this took place and I’m not certain if she ever revealed this to her family.  

God has lovingly restored her and blessed her with beautiful children, but the ashes of her first child remains in heart. 



Love is a powerful force.

 In both of these true stories you can  see the enemies handy work-a deceiver. He comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). He operates the same in every generation.  In tragedy or of our own free will, we serve a loving, merciful and forgiving God and His name is Jesus.  He is always listening and waiting patiently for our voice.


God, who is a good, good Father, and perfect in all his ways loves us unconditionally. Even if you reject Him, His  love for you remains.  From conception to the grave, His banner over you is love. (Song of Solomon 2:4) In prayer one day I told God I loved Him and I was moved to tell Him how perfect He truly is.  And I said, “The way You love me is perfect. The way you changed my life and filled me with Holy Ghost is perfect. I can find no flaw in You”. Then I began to recall how perfect His love is for us:
God’s love for us: Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 

His thoughts for us: Psalm 139:17-18 - How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You. 

He hears our cry: Psalm 34:17-The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles. 

His plan of redemption:  John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 

We are so blessed to be loved. The world has marginalized the word “Love” and its value. God wants you to know His love and how powerful and perfect it is. His love is transforming, it is always at work in you. Valentine’s Day is just one day.  God’s love is with us every day. If you do not know God, get to know Him. If you have turned away from Him for whatever reason, this is great time to give Him your heart.

If I do not get any roses this year it is alright with me. Jesus, the Rose of Sharon lives in my heart- Amen and Amen!

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...
