The Big Squeeze

I must say I have gained a new understanding of Psalm 23:4, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Walking through the valley of the shadow of death causes you to see things as they truly are. Secrets of the heart once hidden are made known. Love ones morph into something unrecognizable as they battle over material things. Coping with the loss of a loved one can affect your actions, emotions, and sense of right and wrong. I understand we each grieve differently and there is no right or wrong to how one grieves, but decorum should not be dismissed.  At times, I felt as if I was being squeezed.  Everything I believe and stand for was being squeezed even tested.  People around me arguing and getting angry over things you can’t take with you when death comes to you. When you stand before God it will be you alone. It’s not you and your BMW, or you draped in your finest jewelry. All of it remains here.

I believe as Christians, as we are “squeezed” or pressed, as some would say, something other than chaos should flow out of you.  The Bible refers to it as the fruits of the spirit, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and gentleness, which are the attributes of a Christian life. (Galatians 5:22-23). Let’s be real friends in life there will be disagreements and contentions, but you can’t live there. We must be mindful of our words and be willing to forgive. When you walk through the valley of the shadow of death the only REAL is Jesus and your relationship with Him.

Be blessed my friends

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
