Mothers

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who have been blessed to become MOTHERS. Oh what a great gift we have been given. Now it is our privilege to raise these children. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 22:6 Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. My, My, My, that is an amazing promise.

As parents we: influence and impart into their lives we also instruct them. Let us not take for granted this wonderful gift and let’s treasure it. Let’s unite and raise the next God revering children that will carry the Gospel to the world. I count it all joy to raise my boys.

I pray and ask God to Bless and strengthen you as parents. I pray that divine instruction be imparted into you so that you are well able to instruct your children. Thank you Lord for the favor shield that surrounds our children, In Jesus name.

Oh To Be Led…

Oh to be led by the Holy Spirit. It really is the only way to live. It we are left to our own devices we may coast for a while but eventually our worlds come crashing down. I know I need a Savior, for He is my strength and help.

His guidance and leadership in my life helps to keep me from the traps and pitfalls in this world. Even if I happen to make a wrong decision I know from firsthand experience God delivers. I just want to take this opportunity to Thank the Father for always having my back and my family’s back as well.

I recently read something very disturbing by someone I love and I immediately wanted to put them in check but the Holy Spirit stopped me and ministered to me on 2 thing…First to get my spirit correct but I was about to react in the flesh in the Name of Jesus (which is all kinds of wrong) and Second how to respond by not responding. Holy Spirit showed me that this person is truly Lost spiritually and how to intercede for them. I will have an opportunity to speak with this person and when I do I will have the correct (Holy Spirit Filled) words to benefit that soul.

I leave you with this one thing….Hate the Sin and Love the Person……

True Elevation

God has a better plan for you than you can even imagine. I was reading in Act ch 6 this morning where the 12 disciples of Jesus were in need of someone to step in and handle the business of the ministry. The 12 needed help…someone to serve. The requirements of the 7 individuals needed for service, were men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost, and Wisdom. The 7 were chosen and of the 7, 2 stood out the more. Phillip and Steven although qualified for service and served well they had extra. Man chose them to serve but God chose them to win souls.

If you read the accounts of Stephen and Phillip you will see great exploits for the LORD. These men were chosen to serve and in their service and commitment to the cause GOD elevated them. They remained humble and faithful and HOLY. God had a better plan for their lives.

God has a better plan for your life as well. God can choose you, fill you with the His Spirit, and elevate you to a place where healing and salvation is the ministry you steward. Oh, how marvelous to be in His will and plan for our lives. Ask God for those qualifications: honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and Wisdom then remain humble and faithful and watch God himself elevate you.

Between Called and Chosen

A lot goes on between being called and being chosen. I want to give you 3 keys you need to succeed in this process.
1. Attitude 2. Preparation 3. Endurance    Matthew 22:14  King James Version (KJV) 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

These 3 keys will guide you on your pre-ordained journey by GOD.  You must have the right attitude especially when dealing with people.  So often people will talk you right out of your GOD given Destiny.  You must remain focused and on the path that GOD has for you. Do not be swayed by distractions set up to stop you.  Stay positive, speak positive, and fellowship with like minded people.

Preparation can be a hard task master but the outcome is well worth it..  It is in the making where you will be tried and tested.  In the preparation process you will learn how to move and operate in your calling.  Although you are pre-ordained to your calling you will still have to be trained and taught. Be willing to learn and ask Holy Spirit for help because Holy Spirit is the Teacher of all things.  Ask Holy Spirit for the right teacher in the natural as well.  Also be open to correction….with correction comes growth.

Lastly, but not least Endurance.  You will have to be willing to go the long haul.  Your journey may not be easy or short but it can be obtained.  For we are more than conquerors and you Destiney is for you to conqueror. Hebrews 10:35-36 Amplified Bible (AMP)35 Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. 36 For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and [a]carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.

Oh that Glorious moment when you go from being called to being Chosen.  (PTL)

Praying Wives Strategies 2/26/14

If you have visited this site before then you may be aware of the Arise: Praying Parent page where there is information on a prayer conference call.  Well Arise Praying Parents was birthed 6 months after the Praying Wives United Group.  We share the conference line; Mondays we pray for our children and Wednesdays we pray for our husbands.  Both calls pray the word of God according to the Bible.  We have had much success and many testimonies.  This morning I shared some Strategies that the wives could use in order to see some success, transformation, relief, encouragement and strength.  Of course there was so much more I could have shared but here is where I was encouraged to start.  This list can be used for you children as well.  Be encouraged Saints of God that the Lord is Good and He answers your call in time of distress.

  • It’s your praise and thanksgiving that will pull you out….of the pit
  •  80/20 rule: are you focusing the one or two things that work your nerves or will you celebrate the 80% and watch God take you to 81%, 82%, 83%, 84% ect…and now all you can see is growth…..and an improved marriage, child, friend, ect…
  •  Are you doing your God given assignment in the Earth…if you stop focusing on him/husband and give God more energy you will see a turnaround….
  •  What are you praying and who is praying with you? I refuse to ask just anyone to pray with me. You better know what they believe in.
  •  Don’t look at the situation, circumstances, problem (LOOK AT JESUS)
  •  Don’t pray out of place prayers; don’t charge the atmosphere unbelief, ask Jesus to help your unbelief…
  •  It’s really not about where I want him/husband to be but it’s about where the Lord wants Him to be….so when I pray for my husband I ask and partner with Holy Spirit for the Lord to make him the Man of God that he is called to be….

A sound marriage, family, and life is part of our inheritance; even through trails and tribulations we are more than conquerors.
