PRIORITIZE

The meaning of prioritize is to put things in order of importance. At times people wonder why things are not going according to plan or things are not falling in line like you need them to. 99% of the blame gets put on the devil. If we are truthful with self we would realize that at least half if not over half of our unwanted outcomes are simply because of improper prioritizing. I have goals, dreams, and a certain direction for my life. In order to accomplish these things, I have to prioritize and tailor my life to fit the direction I want to go. That means some friends have to be removed, some habits formed have to be changed, my mental state has to be adjusted to think and see myself how I want to be.( For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:~Proverbs 23:7). Yes making these changes are going to be hard and painful in some instances but in the end it will be worth the wait. No matter what is on your list of priorities make sure you put God first on the list. (:

The Marriage

I am married to God and because I'm not perfect our marriage will always be a work in progress. The beauty of being married to Him is that He always looks beyond my faults. He loves me enough to fulfill my needs every time. He knows all of my downfalls and He still gave me the chance to take on His name. Because of these things and sooooo much more I will always remain faithful to Him.

Signed,

A happily married woman

Disabled Ministries

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.(2Chronicles 7:14)

It's difficult for a person to work with broken hands. In most cases it is impossible to do so, just like it is difficult for someone who is broken on the inside to operate effectively in the body of Christ. Leaders need to pay attention to their flock because people are getting saved but not delivered and healed. These are the same people who are working in the ministry broken. Sometimes they  are the ones who are laying hands on the sick, and having most interaction with the flock. This is why when they lay hands on the sick they don't recover or  when they pray for someone or witness; the person remains in bondage because they lack the deliverance that frees them from the strong holds. This is a major cause as to why their ministries are not as effective as it should be, could be, and would be.

God already knew there would be times of hurt and pain for his people but it was never intended for us to stay there. Majority of believers remain in bondage out of fear of rejection and not wanting to be looked down upon because of the "Ive been saved all my life Christian and I have never done anything wrong" saints. This mentality will destroy a ministry because its the testimonies of the saints and how they got over is what helps,heals, encourages those who are going through the valley experience.

It's time to revive the disabled ministries and until we do so there will always remain a struggle with progress within that ministry.

Change

I believe everyone reaches a point in their life where they want different things and better things for themselves. In order to achieve these things a change has to take place. Whether the change comes in the form of a job, your appearance, or even the people around you. We hate to say goodbye to things and people because we get caught up and use to having them around that we expect them to be there always. Sometimes in order to get to your next journey you have to pack lightly. You cannot carry all the baggage into your new journey that you had on your last trip. You have to rid yourself of past hurts, aches, pains, people. People can and will be your biggest hindrance if you let them be. Some just cannot accept the fact that you want more for yourself and they honestly want to see you fail. I say to you now BUNK ‘EM. Just do you.

Overflow and Praise

This afternoon I was taking a nap and I had interrupted my nap because in my dream I was constantly receiving an overflow of money from everywhere. It seemed everywhere I turned blessings were being thrown my direction. So much to the point that I was running out of room to put all that I was being given. When I woke up the scripture came to me;
(Malachi 3:10)
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Immediately I went into praise because there were somethings I went to God about a long time ago and that dream was confirmation for me. What I received from that dream was the word PROSPERITY. Most ppl when they hear the word prosper money is the first thing to come to mind. Not too worried about the finances because the Word lets me know if I seek the Kingdom of God and his righteousness then all these shall be added unto me. But I took that dream as God was getting ready to pour a prosperity blessing upon my life. My anointing, my prayer life, my career, my children, my position in him...all of it is about to be elevated. I usually don't share my dreams but this time I was led to because there are some who have prayed for things(doesn't have to be materialistic)and it is because of your faithfulness over the little things that God is going to make you a ruler over many. When these things come to past you are not to look back but go forth as thus saith the Lord and be a blessing to others. Just because certain doors didn't open that you felt should have been opened does not mean it's over for you. Remain faithful until your change comes. At times people get so close to the promises of God and they lose out because they feel the praise comes after the blessing is received. The praise begins before,during, and after the blessing. A Persistent Praise Provokes a Power Shift! Your breakthrough, deliverance, healing, blessing,etc. begins when you open your mouth.While you are waiting for your door to open praise Him in the hallway:) Praise your way right on into your next level. Be blessed

Accepting What God Allows

Often times when things come our way most of us have a habit of asking why me Lord? After a serious conversation with a trusted friend God sent a serious word to me that I wasn't expecting. It's not for me to know why. There is a reason and a purpose for everything. Too many times we lose out or miss out on the things that are intended for us simply because we haven't learned how to accept what HE allows. We get so caught up in the routine of life and so use to doing it and fixing it ourselves. God is sitting there waiting on you to stop playing his role so he can do his job. Once we finally get to that place where we can put self and pride on the shelf then that's when true healing and deliverance can take place. Healing from all past hurts and deliverance from any thing that has you bound. For me my biggest issue all this time has been self. Not willing to admit that I have faults and that I come short. Certain situations arise and I have to surrender to his will even when I don't want to because he always knows what is best in my life. I have to allow self to die daily so that he may live within me eternally.

Reflection on the past year of my life

I am a lot wiser than I was, definitely learned a lot about myself and those around me who claim to be for me. Quite a few lessons I learned. Always treat people how you want to be treated no matter how they are towards you. Honesty is so important and no matter what be real with yourself and the people you love. In order to experience the sunshine you have to go through a couple of storms. God is always in control and he will keep you if you want to be kept. If God gives you a ministry work it to your fullest ability and he will back you up. Step out on faith and go for what you want in life. Don't complain about what you don't have but thank God for what you do have. Don't be so quick to throw in the towel because to whom much is given much is required. One of my favs is I am who God says I am and there is nothing "man" can do to change that. There is so much more I could say but it is a note lol so I will leave it at that. Love you guys and as my man Steve Harvey says,"Don't be afraid to pray cause prayer changes things."
