Timothy 2-11-12
This is a faithful saying;
For if we died with Him,
We shall also live with Him!
* If we endure*
We shall also reign with Him!
If we deny Him,
He will also deny us. .......... Please give this a lot of "thought and prayer" It will change your life!
I can remember years back as young Christians so many people in our huge church of 2500 people
many would use this saying "I am Blessed" as they shook our hands coming into Church. So many times we didn't feel blessed but smiled often times holding back tears. We were going through some pretty rocky years in those early days. I can see "today so clearly" all the jagged edges that God needed to begin smoothing off in our life. To say it a little stronger "Make me fight for what He has called me to become"!
If you have ever looked down into a shallow river bed you will notice smooth rocks inlaid in the sandy bottom these are commonly called "River Rocks" when river rocks are bought for decorating purposes outdoors they are more costly than regular stones but so much more "Beautiful" All these rocks and stones were once jagged and rough but in time made smooth and lovely to look at because of the constant buffeting, flooding, and washing away till they become shiny, smooth and rounded almost gem like..
* David used smooth rocks to "Kill the Giant Goliath" why? because they flew faster being made smooth and firmer without any jagged resistance.
* The word of God does just the same work in our lives as we continue to wash ourselves with the reading of the Bible "It is often referred to in the Bible as our being washed in the word.
* We as "believers of God" are "also" referred to as "living stones".
As we grow stronger "In the Lord and His Promises" through the rough times, we become much like David the "Giant slayer" learning to come against and "fight back" instead of letting the enemy steal, rob, and destroy what God has given to us in "His"promises." The word of God is our "weapon of warfare" against the enemy of our lives. Any time he comes against the "Name of the Lord" in our lives making attempts to attack us by stealing what belongs to us in "Christ Jesus" But we can fight back by claiming it's ours in the "Powerful name of "Jesus"! through His promised covenant with us! And he must return it! These are covenant truths that rightfully belongs to you and I through the "Blood of Jesus" "Jesus" paid the price for us to have these freedoms and the enemy is not allowed to touch us! or our belongings!
What rightfully belongs to us you ask? Everything in life that sustains you to live! Your jobs, your family, love for your wife or husband, children, home, health, "These are all blessings from God!' and the enemy has no right to steal whats ours unless we do something that opens his darkened doorways letting him have that invitation . "Sinning"! Do your best by reading your Bible daily, watching good Christian T.V, Radio, house Meetings to studying the Bible, or a good Church. Beside all this we should maintain a "loving and intimate time of prayer and devotional time" regularly in the early part of the morning before the day starts or if that's not an option do these things whenever when ever possible and regularly to keep yourself under the protection of Gods love and care. A Psalm 91, lifestyle of Dwelling with God!
I learned how to live may "Victorious and Exiting" years through learning and growing in "Jesus". But that all said and done today I am able to throw the stones of many "Mighty and Valued Truths" "Kingdom Truths"! reminding the devil of my covenant agreement through what "Jesus did at the cross" for me! and "Hold on to what is mine in Christ" "On Christ the solid rock I stand" All other Rocks are sinking sand"! Being careful of other persuasions that are "Man"centered "Rather than the word of Gods truth and Power! Which destroys all evil! There are far too many "Icons or Idols" today that have made a name for themselves rather than encouraging Gods people to continually keep their eyes on "Jesus" and the life giving "Blood covenant" He established for us through the giving of His life at Calvary !
2 Timothy 2; 11-12 (If we "Die"with Him! We shall also "Live"with him!) Hallelujah!
Also read "Hebrews 11" the hall of faithful . Believers now "Patriarchs" of Gods lovingly known to us as the "Hall of faith" To die in Christ Jesus means to give up the "sins and darkness" of this worlds corruptions by living in and through Him!. Each of us know what these things are in our individual lives that hold us back from living in the fulness of Christ.
Because of the "Many Victory's" through Jesus I have a long list of "still growing" accomplishments. Giving all the Glory to God alone! For only He could make all these things possible!
* Have Led and taught many many Bible study's and Glory Gatherings of Prayer.
* Have been invited to be guest speaker to Women's Meetings, in Churches and business Motivational Meetings and more.
* Have been part of many prayer vigils with thousands for the "innocent unborn"and marching against abortion! The largest genocide our nation sadly condones.
* Have stood in prayer till "Doors Closed" for fortune tellers an other ungodly occult practices in different cities we have lived!
* Have spent much time in "Soup Houses" "Feeding, helping and counseling" poor and downtrodden souls.
* Ministered and prayed for thousands on national broadcasting T.V. programs like 700 club as well as Channel 55 and other Christian ministry's in different states I lived
* Prayed interceded relentlessly until breakthrough came to go to "Africa" on a personal mission for God Also to Mexico to build churches and lead others to Christ!
* Had the privilege to produce my own "Christian T.V. and Radio Programs" touching multitudes for Christ
And last but most importantly! The saving of Souls! a "Continual ever flowing Stream" throughout my life on the streets, and highways and byways of my life.
Remember also that "your accomplishments" may differ from mine. We are all drawn and called to be able to work in different ways in Christ. I can't do what you do and you can't do what I do. But if we all do our part, the world will know and desire "Jesus love and salvation" Gods gift to us!
For if we "Die" to self letting "Jesus be Lord"! over everything in our "Hearts"and life" We shall Truly be enabled to live our life in and through "Him" Forever in Eternity" Escaping the fury of hell! A place meant only for those who have utterly rejected the work Of Christ.
Be quick to receive Him even this hour as you read this! By saying this prayer with me today!
Jesus I repent! I ask your forgiveness for all my ways .
Take my life and do something beautiful with it. I thank you and know you will grow and raise me as I spend daily time reading the word of God. I will find a Bible teaching Church, Home group, or Ministry friends to help me. I love you Jesus! and I thank you for coming to live in my heart this day and forever more. AMEN

Be Magnified in me Lord!
Yesterday as I sang and hummed a sweet christian song that I remembered from the 80's I began to feel Gods presence so so strongly. It was wonderful as I continued to verbalize the words I could remember till I finally pieced all the words into the verses so I could sing it properly. Amazed at what what I was singing because I had been asking the Lord to be "bigger and more enlarged" in my life so as to reach others with His supernatural help.
There are so many hurting people that have learned to hide their feelings and hurts so well that no one would ever guess what is really going on inside. And because of their smiles and happy demeanor no one would guess they are breaking inside.
As we are worshiping God "He does the Miraculous" Only He can open up hearts to fix whats inside .
Oh what a "Wonderful" God! He is. Helping, Healing, Mending, and Setting Free!
My thoughts today are this. Sing unto "Him" God rejoices as we sing songs that Glorify "Him"and it turns our sadness into joy. Yes putting God in the center of our lives even in "Song" will change the atmosphere all around us drawing the Angelic because we are Glorifying God! And I for one need as many angels I can to surround my life. How about you? Am I hearing your loud Amen!!
Let these scriptures inspire you today! and take time to look them up, and mark them so when you feel a cloudy day in your midst you will ward away every darkness.
I have always been a "Worshiper" and feel that when we enter into "Glorifying" and "Worshiping" Him signs wonders and other amazing things begin to take place. This is why I always spend so much time worshiping at my gatherings.
Our enemy (the devil) hates worship and trys keeping us from truly experiencing this wonderful "Godly" experience because he once was the Main musician of Heaven before pride set in and he was cast out for his rebellion. This is why there is so much perversion in our air ways and in music today. We are in end times and Satan is trying his hardest to gather as many of Gods people as he can through these dark rappers and perverse lyrics before his time is up!
Remember Psalms are all made up of songs that David and others made up in their heart to give God Glory. And we should too!
Also in "Zephaniah" read how God rejoices over "You" with singing!
Exodus15: 20-21
And Miriam the Prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
And when Miriam answered them, saying to them, sing to the Lord for He has triumphed Gloriously the horse and rider thrown into the sea.
( This was after the Lord "Miraculously"opened up the Red Sea)
Psalms 30: 4
Sing unto the Lord all ye saints of His and give thanks at the remembrances of His Holiness.
Has God done something in your life? Then sing to Him about it with thanksgiving!
Never! ever be ashamed of God by shying away from singing His praises or not sharing His goodness in your life with others. He is so " Worthy" of our love and Praises!!
Zephaniah 3: 17
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty he will save He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in His love, He will Joy over thee with singing.
( God even rejoices over us with singing)
Psalms 100 read all
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with gladness!
( This means rejoicing and singing)
Prayer
If you are one who has been unnaturally drawn into " worldly perverse" music of our day . please call out to God today!
Father I renounce all that I have been involved in through the evils that has crept into the music industry of our day!
Today I ask you to take over my life and renew my mind with the word of God and Jesus Christ!
Jesus come into my heart and take out all the darkness. Fill me with yur love! turn my heart toward you in all I do. Bring others to me who walk a Holy life for you. I need your help! and I now break all the word curses that I have spoken in song over my life in " Jesus Name" as I make all the changes in my life that is needed. I pray for your forgiveness and love to cleanse me free of all these sins in " Jesus Name" I pray. Amen

The Light!
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light as He is in light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
Thinking about light can be so external and general. We all can confess to be in the light without any questions asked. Although all this is right and good "think of this" God is all light. He is the light of the world. Why because light dispels all darkness and there is no darkness in God. He is Love.
1John 7,8 His light actually lights the Heavens. Heaven itself is light because of Gods Beautiful and Holy existence
Are we ready to accept this kind of life style in Christ. Are you the light in the darkness of this world?
When we fellowship with one another do we let the light and love in our hearts emanate the light to others we meet with? This is the "Big"question for our hearts to answer.
*In your heart of hearts do you desire to share the love of Jesus with family and others you meet in the market places of your life?
*Do you look for an opportunity to pray with others that walk in darkness distant from God?
If you said yes to these questions you are a light for God.
We must share Gods love! and not keep secret what Jesus has come to this earth to do. To reach out to the lost with His plan for their freedom from sin through salvation. Salvation through His Son "Jesus Christ"!
"Time is Running Out!!" and darkness is slowly creeping into our hurting world daily! And if you have "Eyes to see and Ears to hear" you have come to realize with multitudes of other Christians the Lord is sending signs in our world as never before known to man. The "Twin towers and the Blood moons" are of the greater magnitude.
There are so many who need the Lord. Heaven was made for Gods children and Hell was made for the " devil and his demons" Many will fall to their eternal doom without someone sharing with them Gods precious gift of life eternally through Jesus Christ Jesus came to set everyone captive of sin free! alcohol, drugs, and every other hellish and evil torment from hell is wiped clean off our slates through Jesus sacrifice. We should have been the ones judged "guilty" of all our sins. But His death "in our stead" has sets us "free" in Gods eyes eternally ! What a "Miracle"! What Amazing love He has for you and I.
Saying " Yes! to Jesus is the greatest and most important decision you will ever make in your life. His love has changed countless multitudes throughout the centurys and all their story's are written in the word of God "The Bible".
Jesus is "The "light" of this world. And you and I are His Ambassadors!
Beloved of God "Bless you"as you read this today and never forget ..... What a "privilege" we have been given! If you haven't recieved Christ into your heart do it now by saying this simple prayer...
Jesus I love you because of what you have done for me. With all my heart I repent of all my sin . I am sorry for living my life without you. I realize how much you love me and ask you to come live in my heart today and always. I will read your word "the bible" and find others who truly are living for you to surround my life. Amen.
If you have said this prayer start reading the bible starting with the "New Testament" In the book of John. And know you are "no longer alone" Jesus is living in you and will send Angels charge over you from now on! Let me know by commenting that you have made this life changing decision. I am praying for you.

"Divine Appointments"
Do you remember the story of Jesus visiting His hometown of Nazareth? Many people from His home town would not except that Jesus had power and was truly the Son of God.
Mathew 13:58 Tells us " And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief."
Unbelief can steal the beauty of Gods promises from our heart and lives. Keep us from receiving miracles as well as experiencing Gods answers to our prayers.
Recently I had spent time with a sales person over a household item my husband and I purchased for our new home. Being a Minister I usually start easing the conversation over and into the spiritual so as to open the door for ministry as the Lord leads. I do this without even thinking about it. But this time the gentleman noticed that we were Christians and he began to share that he too had excepted Christ into his life. This was a welcomed change for me to hear " his" conversation making the first steps toward the spiritual without my help. We had a good time as we talked business and interject our faith in Christ as we talked and shared.
After a while when we were through with our business and as he was putting his catalogs and paperwork away I noticed he relaxed to talk and share a little more about the Lord as we finished a cup of tea together. I shared my years of Ministry and how the doors of the Lord opened up for me to minister in different foreign country's Churches, meetings, radio, and television, and so on. I could tell he was being encouraged in his faith. "Faith comes by hearing , hearing the word of God." We had been sharing the word of God throughout our conversation. It formed into a most beautiful tapestry giving God glory continually for the way "Only He" can work through our lives "one silver and gold thread " at a time as we yield our hearts over to Him.
I could tell this young man truly loved the Lord and was deeply touched as we shared the love of Jesus in our lives. To my surprise he then said "I don't think I can leave without you praying for me. Would you? I said of coarse I will. As I did the "Holy Spirit fire" flowed, flushing through my veins into his with an anointed prayer that filled the room with Gods "Holy"and sweet presence. I began speaking words of prophetic direction and promises from the Lord into his Spirit. This wonderful presence of the Lord completely took over in a most loving demonstration answering the deepest needs in his life. It was precious and invigorating to feel this " Holy Presence' emanate as I prayed for this young man. It was then I realized that God had sent him to our home. I knew deep within my Spirit he was sent to me for prayer. it was another "Divine Appointment" arranged by Gods Holy Spirit that special morning.
Back to Mathew 13:58
The people in Jesus home town were not filled with faith nor were they in belief even after they heard of Jesus powerful works among other people around their countryside. Stuck in there old fashioned ways thinking "what good" could come out of a little boy raised by a wood working carpenter in their little unimportant town.
The young man I prayed with earlier talked of Joyce Meyers, Andrew Wamack, and a few others on t.v. he enjoyed as Ministers but only God knew he was in the midst of " an opportunity" to receive prayers of faith and anointing of another one of "His" servants. I consider myself no one special just a willing and obedient servant of the most high God, as are many today that have no big Ministry or Fame. But "behold the anointing of God!" through a "Divine Appointment" in time unexpected, but timely when one of His children are praying and deeply desiring to hear from Him.
He listened to me share the Lord and the longer I shared the harder he listened. At one point said to me "that this was a Divine Appointment" He was needing a touch from God that day, and God answered his hearts need by meeting him right in our home on a normal business day.
"Why" did God move in such a beautiful way?
He was needing his faith built up.
As he was listening and" receiving".
He was "teachable" so he was able to hear God.
He had a "pure heart" a prerequisite for impartation " from the "Holy Spirit"
He was not full of unbelief but "faith" which enabled him to receive his much needed " word and blessing" from God.
Whenever we enter into the presence of God we make way for miracles to happen. Or "Not" We will never know what we missed if we let these "opportunity's" pass us by, as the people of Nazareth let happen . Their hearts were not pure or full of Gods love. So they missed the " Glory of the living God" walking in their very midst "Their Messiah" and "Savior" and "King" They were looking for a "King" dressed in kingly robes, covered with expensive jewels. Instead God chose to send him in simplicity.
This young man who came that day to our home was sent on an appointment. I thank the Lord that He has raised me up to be in partnership with His earthly " Divine Appointments" I make it my business with God to be ready in season for whatever God has prepared.
I pray you don't miss your special "Divine encounters" the Lord has planned for you.
The people of Nazareth missed their " Blessings" and "Divine" looking for someone of more importance causing them to stumble and fall to their fate through unbelief and doubt of what would have ultimately changed their very hearts that day and for evermore.
Always pray and be watchful and waiting for Gods precious timely and prepared "Divine Appointments" in your life. With all your heart " Pray,Believe and be in Faith" and know " deep within your heart" it will be God alone who will arranged your unusual and timely " Divine Appointment" just when you needed it most!
Remember Gods ways are not our ways. God Bless you ! I am praying for you today. (:

I knew deep within my Spirit he was sent to me for prayer. it was another "Divine Appointment" arranged by Gods Holy Spirit that special morning.
Back to Mathew 13:58
The people in Jesus home town were not filled with faith nor were they in belief even after they heard of Jesus powerful works among other people around their countryside. Stuck in there old fashioned ways thinking "what good" could come out of a little boy raised by a wood working carpenter in their little unimportant town.
The young man I prayed with earlier talked of Joyce Meyers, Andrew Wamack, and a few others on t.v. he enjoyed as Ministers but only God knew he was in the midst of " an opportunity" to receive prayers of faith and anointing of another one of "His" servants. I consider myself no one special just a willing and obedient servant of the most high God, as are many today that have no big Ministry or Fame. But "behold the anointing of God!" through a "Divine Appointment" in time unexpected, but timely when one of His children are praying and deeply desiring to hear from Him.
He listened to me share the Lord and the longer I shared the harder he listened. At one point said to me "that this was a Divine Appointment" He was needing a touch from God that day, and God answered his hearts need by meeting him right in our home on a normal business day.
"Why" did God move in such a beautiful way?
He was needing his faith built up.
As he was listening and" receiving".
He was "teachable" so he was able to hear God.
He had a "pure heart" a prerequisite for impartation " from the "Holy Spirit"
He was not full of unbelief but "faith" which enabled him to receive his much needed " word and blessing" from God.
Whenever we enter into the presence of God we make way for miracles to happen. Or "Not" We will never know what we missed if we let these "opportunity's" pass us by, as the people of Nazareth let happen . Their hearts were not pure or full of Gods love. So they missed the " Glory of the living God" walking in their very midst "Their Messiah" and "Savior" and "King" They were looking for a "King" dressed in kingly robes, covered with expensive jewels. Instead God chose to send him in simplicity.
This young man who came that day to our home was sent on an appointment. I thank the Lord that He has raised me up to be in partnership with His earthly " Divine Appointments" I make it my business with God to be ready in season for whatever God has prepared.
I pray you don't miss your special "Divine encounters" the Lord has planned for you.
The people of Nazareth missed their " Blessings" and "Divine" looking for someone of more importance causing them to stumble and fall to their fate through unbelief and doubt of what would have ultimately changed their very hearts that day and for evermore.
Always pray and be watchful and waiting for Gods precious timely and prepared "Divine Appointments" in your life. With all your heart " Pray,Believe and be in Faith" and know " deep within your heart" it will be God alone who will arranged your unusual and timely " Divine Appointment" just when you needed it most!
Remember Gods ways are not our ways. God Bless you ! I am praying for you today. (:

Set apart to pray
There are times in my daily life when I can get pretty wrapped up in what I am doing. We can get off track and accomplish less and less when we get on this merry go round. When I recognize this happening I have to Stop ! Look ! and Listen! Where am I going and what am I doing. Have I jumped out ahead or without the Lord all together. This is easy to do if were not careful. So just like at a railroad crossing we need to be watchful or we can get into a situation that robs our energy and time.
Today I'm thinking of the times the "Holy Spirit" has been laying someone on my heart. As I begin thinking about them let my memories carry me off to a place of reminiscing or dreaming. Recently this happened and "I tell this" so as to remind you of how important it is to stay focused on God because Someone usually is in need of prayer when we have them in our thoughts again and again. Getting wrapped up in life and the "cares of the world" can swoop us away from God. This should be "for a Christian" our "highest" concern. To be sensitive to the Holy Spirits beconing Always.
So I "will" make that phone call.
I "will "pray.
I "will" convey Gods love to them.
I" will" take even more time to check with the Holy Spirit to see if there is anything else I should be praying or doing for them.
If a call isn't possible to call the person your praying for. Let the Holy Spirit lead. Just simply pray being sensitive to intercede as the Holy Spirit leads you. When the burden for that person starts lifting off of your heart by lightening and disappearing. You are finished. If there is more praying to do "Holy Spirit" will touch your heart once again to pray. Some praying is continual until the problem or need is accomplished by your work of prayer through Him. From time to time the Lord will allow you to hear from this person confirming that they needed your prayers for a situation they were walking through. This is always a precious blessing from God for you to receive this confirmation of encouragement.
The best time to pray is in the morning early as Jesus regularly did as we read throughout the New Testament.
When we can't do this. Be sure to pray as soon as we are able to. So as to start our day off being sensitive of the Lords presence and concerns daily.
Please read the scriptures below for meditation and help from above.
And "thank you" for praying for others. God Bless every one of you that are sensitive to God's call to Prayer!
Mark 1:35
Now in the morning having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place and there He prayed.
Psalm 5:3
My voice You shall hear in the morning O 'Lord
In the morning I will direct it to You,
And I will look up.
Psalm 5:3
But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly.
Romans 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helps us in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groaning s which cannot be uttered.

Again and Again
Again and again I have found my Jesus so very faithful. This past month we have moved after a four year waiting upon the Lord.
Then suddenly one day last October I knew it was time to place my foot in the sand and draw the line of demarcation of the past four years and move forward into the new. There was a new geographic place God was preparing for my husband and I.
Douglas my husband has a sweet and most humorous personality. God knew what He was doing when He put us together He knew there would be many times when a bit of laughter would be needed as daily medicine to get through the "rough rocky" roads in life.
Being called by the Lord to minister the Gospel "everywhere I go" is my personal field of ministry. In my home I have "House of Prayer" gatherings. But I especially love the "market places" of life where I plant many seeds by reaching out to those who would never step into a church building.
Jesus is my "first love" and I know and trust that "He" who ordains my footsteps through life's continual winding road will ever be faithful to place me wherever He needs me to be.
Going back to our house. We were ready! Long overdue for four own home although I loved our condo on the lake with it's many amenities but "It was time" to leave. I knew God had a special home just for us. One particular house we really thought was ours "fell through" due to "deadly" asbestos within its walls. Abandoning this home we fell in love with was hard but we kept going forward with new excitement. As we entered back into our mission field to find our special embassy for God we discovered they were either to expensive or we just weren't in love with it. This had happened over and over again but were not about to get "discouraged." I knew deep inside in my Spirit our special home was coming and was soon to appear. The part that made it such a challenge was finding one that was in good shape and in a good location in an affordable "price range" Deep down I knew God was preparing something very special for us.
Our "budget" brings me to the time in my life when I had chosen "not" to go the way of the world any longer by making the best decision of my life "to follow Jesus". by answering "yes" to the "honored" call of God many years earlier. Even though my career in the beauty business was greatly thriving, "the personal" call of God on my life outweighed everything standing in it's way as the burden for "souls" Jesus gave me became my very own "Heartbeat" too.
Doug and I have learned what it means to walk by faith and not by sight. This means we have received much much more "bountifully in the realms of faith" than anyone could even imagine in the realms of this present world. And Yes! our "needs" have more than bountifully met as well! Thank you "Jesus". "My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus"!
Well, we found "Our House!" Just the day after the one we thought was perfect for us had fallen through "Our Home Appeared" on the multiple listings on my e-mail. There it was. The perfect house right around the corner just waiting for us, but Gods timing wasn't quite perfected yet. The other house we thought was our "dream home" had to fall through first before the one God for us could appear. The next step was to make an offer. With 5 offers already on it we had to really pray for Gods wisdom. We made the offer and "It was accepted". Praise God!! It was ours!
Yes " Again and Again " Just like so very many times before when things seem to look hopeless and gloomy we pray and the Lord shows us His faithfulness through His amazing love, Help, and direction.
Unlike the world, "Jesus" never Fails! He will always be there for us "Again and Again" No matter what.
So today "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding, In all your ways "Acknowledge Him" And He "will" bring "whats right for you" to pass"
Psalm 17:5
Uphold my steps in your paths, That my footsteps may not slip.I have called upon You for You "will" hear me Oh my God.
Psalm 91:1
He who dwells in the secret place of the most High God shall abide in the shadow of the almighty.
