  • The King Is Speaking

    The King Is Speaking

    The last time I looked, heard or saw, the Lord was still talking to us. He has already given us His plan, purpose, will and intent for us to adhere to. He left out nothing, however some things He wants you to search for because they are mysteries and He wanted to make sure you really wanted it.

    I came to let y’all know that after He completed the Constitution, He did not stop talking. Remember when He told Abraham to offer up Isaac as a sacrifice and he took him and commenced to do what God had asked of him? Had he not continued to listen, he would have killed his son of promise and where would we be? God does not want His children to be afraid, or surprised about anything going on in our place of rulership.

    The bible is full of events that shall take place in the earth, and the greatest part of it is we win. All the work needed to be done has been done and the only thing we need to do is continue to hear from Him that we may follow the steps that has already been ordered by Him via the Holy Spirit.

    A few years back, I stopped at a mall in Texas and parked on the side of the building. The entry way was bricked in on both sides and as I walked to the door, I thought to myself, this would be a bad place to get caught in because you would be blocked from both sides and there would be no other way out. I made it to the door and it was locked, because it was close to the time for closing. As I turned to run out of the pathway, I could clearly hear the Holy Spirit say, “Do not go to your car”! And here I go, with my smart self, “What do you mean, don’t go to my car?”, and He repeated what He said. As I continued to walk, I saw a car that had pulled up close to my car, but it was angled toward the street and the windows was tinted. I continued to go back and forth with the Holy Spirit, trying to figure out why I shouldn’t go to my car, and I was still walking toward the car. I could see the driver smiling, who was a woman, then the passenger window came down slowly, and I began to tell myself, “if anything goes down, I can beat them to my car” and continued to walk toward the car, only not as fast. Suddenly my legs locked and I could no longer move and as I froze in that spot the back passenger side window slowly came down and I could see the butt of a shotgun. When I made the motion to turn around to run, my feet were loosed and I took off running to the front of the mall to get help.

    If we will listen and obey, God is speaking to us concerning the signs of this time and has informed us of what’s coming. As His sons and daughters we need to hush and listen, for Abba Father is talking!

  • Now What We Gone Do?

    Now What We Gone Do?

    In lieu of everything going on in our given world today, every one is walking around scratching their heads as to what needs to be done with our man made catastrophes. Everyone is panicking under the veil of we’re just taking safety precautions and yes, when I say everyone, that includes our churches.

    We sing and preach teach, Sunday in and out about believe, trust and hope in God. And when test time comes from the mistakes of mankind, we send out mass messages for all members to remain home because of concern and love for one another; now we all want to be sensible. We have inside information written in our Constitution, that perilous times would come, so what are we doing?

    Oh, I see, now that it’s actually here and we haven’t seen this new named type of virus, disease, flood, tornado or earthquake, we again go buy up all the foods, toiletries and anything else we think we’re going to need. Question: what plan do we have when the food, and etc’rs run out, deplete and there is nothing else to buy? What will be the procedure when the food stops shipping or even growing? What will be the protocol?

    The church has been said to be the place for us to gather to be uplifted and strengthened. When the doors are closed what we gone do, where are we going, who we gone call? The majority of U.S. citizens are looking to the leader of the country for answers, he’s man just like us. Good luck with that.

    I saw something on social media that basically said the corona virus is going to mainly affect the low income and low wage earners. Raise your hands if you can explain to me how the virus is going to distinguish who is low income and who’s pay is below the whatever man made determined definition of what low is? What happened to the God who healed people of leprosy? What happened to the God who called down the plagues on Egypt? But none of them affected the children of Israel? Where is the God who opened the Red Sea, fed His children with bread from heaven, gave them water to drink from a rock that He had His servant speak to?

    Mankind created these disasters for their own personal reasons or agendas whether knowingly or unknowingly, and the answer will not come from this level or in this realm. When the children of Israel often found themselves in trouble and they got out of the will of their King, they began to cry out for help from the only One they knew could deliver them.

    We as His children and citizens must do as they did, for this is truly an “our Father who is in heaven” moment. We have sung about it, talked about it, now it’s time to be about it and apply it. Just as we did when we were children, look to our earthly father who we thought and believed could do anything provide for and protect us. Now we look to our heavenly Father. That’s what we gone do!

  • Who’s Side Are You On?

    Who’s Side Are You On?

    Sometimes while watching football and a interception is thrown, I’m thinking and saying out loud, “Who are you throwing the ball to? It’s obvious their uniform color is different than yours”? Then there are times when the colors are similar, but there are enough variances where you still ought to know your teammates. Another thing that sticks out with athletes and anyone who wears a uniform is that you know who they represent.

    Nurses are associated with their scrubs and ones on different floors sometimes wear different colors to denote what floor or specialty they support. What you do not see on the basketball court is, players on one team with a jersey of their team and the shorts of the other team. That would be very confusing to their teammates and the other team as well.

    This is why God said we should be hot or cold. He did not say lukewarm! Pick a side already and go one hundred! We messing up both sides. The ones trying to believe and do better and sure nuff the ones who are on the fence.

    I use to not understand the scripture that reads, “If My People, who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14, NIV). I’m like, He’s talking to us, His people. What sin? We not praying, seeking His face, oh, and haughty? Then you turn on the TV and see all the false prophets, pastors and bishops, sleeping with people who are not their own, compromising God’s word because it’s popular or because they need an offering.

    Telling ourselves, “this is just the way I am”, “He knows me” and “He understands”. Yes you’re right, He does know that you are not willing to give up your ways for His and make a change. You cannot be in christiandom for 99 years and there is no sign of change, AND you going to church or let me say in the building listening or not, to the words being spoken every Sunday and there not be a change. OR is it that when we go these days, they talking about in and everything except what thus said the Lord and that’s why there is no difference.

    I know people cannot see and read our hearts, only God can do that. However, “a good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of” (Luke 6:45, NIV).

    So when we’re at church and praise is coming out and then before we can leave the church grounds, we cursing someone out — let me just say, “One of these things, is not like the other”. And I’m confused and DO NOT UNDERSTAND. Why come we can’t just pick a team to be on! If you want to be a pimp, get out the pulpit! We need to stop being silly women, because it is not God’s will for us to be, and or remain ignorant. You may not have known something in the beginning, but if you are going to a church and know the pastor is married, I don’t care what he tells you, you know better.

    Get on a side and wear your true colors and serve your master proudly! On that awards day, you’re going to be talking about, “Lord, I cast out devils in Your name, I worshiped you every Sunday”, and His response is going to be, “ You sure did, but in vain. Depart from me, I never knew you!” When people see you coming do they know what team you’re on?

  • Our Assignment

    Our Assignment

    Once we are saved, seek the kingdom, find it and apply it, we now have to compel mankind to do the same. I know that I am not the only one who asked why did it take so long for us to get back in right standing, or why it took so long for Jesus to come on the scene.  

    I am so grateful that God knows us and know how we His people, learn best. Each of us learn differently, but I bet if I asked the question, “how many learn visually”, most in the room would raise their hands.  It is something in our DNA that make us have to see with our own eyes, in order for us to believe? This is also the reason many of us are failing, because in order to please God, we must have faith for that which we cannot see. God knew that we needed to see a model of how He wanted His government to be reintroduced to His children.

    In the Old Testament, when there was a war and there were captives, they dragged them all the way back to their home country and forced them to function as they did according to their teachings. I was watching a movie the other day and I understood the concept of what our transformation looks like. There was a child who was taken from her parents in an Indian raid when she was 3. She was raised by the Indians for 12 years learning their language, traditions, wore their clothes, ate with their hands and so on. She was seen by this rich rancher and they rescued her and took her to his home that they may find her parents and get her back to her rightful place. Once in the house she looked around because everything looked strange, she had not seen furniture, plates, clothing such as what she saw. She began to fight the people who were trying to conform her into what she already was in the beginning. She was taken before she was able to learn who she was, now she had to relearn her original origin. How to read, how to dress, how to eat with utensils, how to sit at a table, lay in a bed and not on the floor. She could speak the language but the meaning from her perspective was different. After spending quality time with the new people and once she stopped fighting the changes, she was able to accept her new way of life, parents and live life as it was intended. 

    Now, back to what I was saying regarding the visual model we needed in order for us to grasp the concept easily. When the Roman soldiers came on the scene they didn’t force those who were caught to go all the way back to their home country and conform. Where ever they were taken captive, a governor was set in place with all authority from the king and would make sure everyone conformed to the way of life of the Romans. This was the model God wanted and when it was done in the earth, He sent His Son. The Holy Spirit our Governor,  in our hearts would reteach us His original purpose and intent for our lives. Our job is to accept the change, apply it and pass it on to generation and generations to come.

  • Kingdom Ingredients

    Kingdom Ingredients

    The most important part of this recipe is the King. The thing I like most about this King is, we DO NOT get to vote Him in and therefore, CANNOT vote Him out. What the King speaks cannot be changed — it becomes law. What He calls rebellion is just that.

    Because most of us have been brought up under the Democratic regime, it may be hard for us to grasp hold of this. And if you’re living in this world today, we should fully understand why there is a need for there to be One person setting the standards for living.

    All of a sudden everyone has rights and are coming out of the closet or out from under a rock with something they want to make law. And WHY, WHY, WHY, is it always something opposing what the King has already said, why for? I’m telling you, I am so glad being of another world, because no matter what this world we’re in votes on, I am under subjection and rulership of the King who controls it all. 

    Next, add a domain. Because you can’t be a king without some territory to rule over. As I have said before, God set up our world to rule before He created us and placed us in it to dominate it. Most kings fight to expand their domain and the glory given to the King is measured by on how well endowed the Kingdom is and how it’s governed.

    Remember when the queen of Sheba heard about the wisdom of king Solomon, and brought all of her wealth and when she got there and saw with her own eyes how great his knowledge was and how blessed his men and servants were? She brought many, many gifts to give to the king. But when she saw the blessings that God had bestowed upon king Solomon, it left her breathless. The wealth and power of His domain was exceedingly great!

    Now add the Constitution (Bible) by which we all live and govern ourselves. In it is the perfect will, predetermined, and designed plan of the King and those who would live in it’s kingdom. We need the constitution to know what is expected of us as citizens and what our rights are according to the King. 

    Add in several books of the Law, which includes all the King’s spoken words, commandments and directions on the standards set for us to live by. We really don’t have any excuses of saying we didn’t know, it is written and all we have to do is follow what He said. 

    The last ingredient I will add (and there are many more) are the citizens. A king needs someone to rule over and the king has the honor of choosing those who will become citizens in His Kingdom. No man can come to the Father unless he is drawn to the Son. It is an honor to be accepted into the royal family of the Kingdom of God and with this awesome citizenship, comes benefits. Because we are in right standing with our King, all of our needs will be met according to His riches.

    It is the responsibility of the King to make sure this is done. The King looks very glorious when it’s citizens are in good health, prosperous and well taken care of.  There is no partiality, preferential treatment, everyone is created equal and has access to the king and everything He owns. These few ingredients make for a great world to be of. Just imagine how much greater it will be when all the ingredients are sought, learned and added!

  • “Your” Faith Against The World

    “Your” Faith Against The World

    I would just like to ask this question, “What happens when you can’t get to your small group sessions, church gatherings or even to our jobs”? Many times after attending church, meetings, conferences and revivals, you can’t tell us nothing! We leave feeling like we can conquer the world, and nobody, I mean nobody better get in our way or they’re going to be demolished.

    But what happens when no one else is around, we’re alone, and all of our emotions are back to normal and we are faced with personal trials and test? We sound good encouraging one another when the shoe is on someone else’s foot.

    What happens when “you” get sick, lose “your” job, lose a loved one, confronted with losing your home; what are you thinking?  Do we possess enough Word to get us through and if we do is the Word enough to keep us afloat? Do we still believe, hope and trust what we’ve read, what we know is true? When devastation knock on our door, how do we answer?

    No matter how we pray for each other, wish for one another, it ultimately comes down to what we believe. It is written, “as a man think in his heart, so is he”. In almost every difficult case in the Bible when Jesus came on the scene, His response to them was, “ According to “your” faith, be it unto you”. Or, “ “Your” faith has healed you”.

    Although there were many around, whom you would have thought was there to support the father and mother of the little girl who was pronounced dead, they laughed when He said she wasn’t dead but sleep. The woman with the issue of blood, where was her friends as she suffered 12 long years, who was there when she made the decision, I’m going to get help, while the Healer is here? What about the blind man who called out after he heard Jesus was coming through? The people told him to be quiet, yet he continued to call out for the Master. This world system said the little girl was dead, based on the rules set in the earth; the woman bleeding was unclean and should not have been anywhere near other people. The blind man was a minority, because most of them could see in the natural and they were probably thinking it isn’t anything He can do for you anyway.

    But in times of trouble and situations, and it appears everyone has turned their back on you; the doctors, friends and family, you’re going to be faced with the fact that the decision will be in your hands as to what you believe.

    When my car battery blew up in my face, I immediately said, “Lord, I don’t want to be blind” and my faith had to kick in. Based on this world’s theory, the acid should have put my eyes out and messed up my face, but my faith said I was healed and protected.

    When the doctors give us up, lawyers, say you can’t win based on the evidence against you, health report looks gloomy, and you think you are all alone, remember, God will take the foolish things to confound the wise. Go wash in the dirty water that you may see, the world thinks and say, don’t do it, can’t you see the water is dirty? The outcome will be based on what we believe and act on; it’s on you!
