2 Chronicles 7:14

Hello lovelies!
Whoooosaaaa! That’s all I'm going to say, whoooooosaaaaa that, and to God be the glory! This has been a little, NO a lot of a week but I’m so grateful to my God. I'm grateful that He talks with me, and tells me what to do and how to do.

I'll be quick because that's exactly the kind of week it's been and continues to be.
Situations keep coming up this week where God is truly showing Himself in me, through me and what needs to come out. It don't feel good y'all especially when you think you doing alright.

During one of these exposure to self-time I begin to pray and the Lord gave me
2 Chronicles 7:14; and He was very specific with it.

Over the course of the moments, hours and couple of days to follow He became to gear the pray for me more specifically. The NIV is below.

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.

Whoa, God, what is this? I hear you but what are you saying? I’m glad you ask my child.
It may sting but I'm so happy that I serve a Father that loves me enough to take time to explain to me what He wants from me; it's not to hurt me but to make me better in Him.

If my people (my daughter, my child, you Deidre), who are called by my name will humble themselves (surrender to me, submit to me, lift up your hands to me, praise and worship me, admit to me, cry out, love me, turn to me, trust me, be with me, walk with me, remember my name, bow before me, repent, repent, repent, repent, repent, be desperate for me, love me, desire me, my will, my word, my path) and pray (have a relationship with me, talk with me and I to you, ALL the time) and seek my face (don't look to man, look to me and my answers, don't be of this world but be of me, be different and peculiar like I made you) and turn from their wicked ways (your own agenda, your own will, your own way, your own flesh, what you want to do, when you want to do it, and how much you want to do it) then I will hear from heaven, (turn my attentive ear to your cries, to your pleas, your prayers,) and I will forgive the their sin (I will bless you, answer you, give you the desires of your heart, I will lead you and direct you) and will heal their land (I will heal you, your mind, body, heart and soul.)  

God thank you! I hear you, I believe you and I trust you. This was specifically for me. I know that you are not playing God because time is short and the enemy isn’t playing either. It’s time for me to get together. I kept retyping repent, because there are some things that we know we need to repent about and we don’t and when we come down broke to God He will tell us to repent to Him to get it up off of us. We have to, we have to be open, honest and vulnerable to Him.

I thank you all for reading, my week is getting better just by the release of this post. I love you all. Be blessed, happy reading and please share.

I Have Sisters!!!

God is so strategic. He really is, last week I realized that God was my Daddy. I mean I knew that He was, we call Him Abba Father, and we say that we are His daughters but it was something about last week that hit me to know that the Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost is my Daddy. That term of endearment, My Daddy. It was ordained. I get it. The aha moment came when it was supposed to come. 

Then comes Sunday when I posted this picture and name of the book above You Are a Daughter of the King Embrace Who God Created You to Be by Gail M Hayes given to me by a divine connection. 

Amazing, a blessing, a phenomenal read. 

Again, it was strategic and ordained by God because that night and the two nights that followed I discovered that yes, God really is my Daddy, I'm created in the image that He planned for me, and I have sisters.

 

You know how we have DNA and genetic makeup from our families? How we have blue eyes from your dad's side of the family, or red hair from great-grandma on your momma's side? How our lips are big, small, how some of us are short, tall, and how we have different personalities, just everything? 

This book tells us about our GOD makeup, it explains our very own uniqueness in Him. Your very own style, your walk, talk and personality in Him, from Him. We are all so very different and He wants you to know who you are and who’s you belong too. All HIM.

You are a child of the King, you have authority and power and you are an heir to the throne. His throne.

In the beginning of the book, there is a short quiz called the Image Indicator. Its 12 questions that put you in one or maybe several images. There are six of them and I have the Jaunty Esprit image. 

Jaunty- means nonchalant or relaxed, and without a great deal of fuss.

Esprit- is a cleverness and freedom of mind and spirit. 

The Jaunty Esprit is a peacemaker and defender of justice.

God’s a peacemaker and defender of justice…yes, He is.

I promise you I could have thrown this book across the room then and 50 more times while reading it.  It's so very true, real, and exact; but then again why wouldn't it be it's the image that God has given me and made me in. His image and He knows what He created. I just had to figure it out.

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 

The book talks about your style in every aspect. It told me about my Jaunty Esprit as a woman, wife, mother, daughter, my family life, working style, and my inner and outer style, the reason behind my clothing choices, color schemes, jewelry, hair and makeup too. There’s even a special note for mothers that might have daughters.

  

This was incredible to know but what I also learned during reading this book was the best. I have sisters that have the same Jaunty Esprit image as I do. 

Sisters in God, like no for real for real, the ones that have the same blood, GOD, feelings and thoughts. No we’re not exactly alike or twins but God is our Daddy and He made us. 

My sisters are Abigail, she was a peacemaker, and an honorable and wise wife (1Samuel 25),

Deborah, was a judge, she was fair and honest in her judgement (Judges 4 and 5), and

Martha, a woman of great faith, she was prepared to take action for her brother Lazarus (Luke 10).

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, this book blessed me and I promise you has changed my life and perspective of myself. I have a Daddy and I have sisters too; mighty women of God who loved the Lord and He loved them too, so much He created them in His image, and they walked in it. I will too. When you know better you do better…

Ladies please really think about getting this book it will bless you, open doors, and answer so many questions about why you think, act, say, dress, and do the many things that you do. 

Plus, let’s find out who else you’re related too. Find out who your sisters are in God and how you can emulate them from top to bottom, and from the inside out; and then let’s share with our other sisters here in our lives now so that we can all know and be better together. 

Thank you all for reading, please share, be blessed AND*****GET THE BOOK******

Blessing

It's a blessing to be a blessing...someone  that the Lord has connected me with has blessed me. All because of our obedience in Him!!! The title of this book alone is confirmation enough that I'm lined up with your will God. I couldn't imagine how but God, you know what we need when we need it! Thank you Daddy! You love your daughters...All of us...thank you Lavera

Are You Cheating On God?

About a month ago in 4am prayer Pastor prayed about us having the fruits of the spirit Galatians 5:22-23. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

They all stuck with me but the one that stuck out the most was faithfulness. To be more faithful. To have more faith in our God.  Not to cheat on God but to be faithful to Him.

Wow, to be faithful to God and not cheat on Him.

In order to cheat on someone both parties have declared that they’re in a committed relationship with one another. Whether it's exclusively dating, engaged to be married, or married, it’s a true one on one with you and them only.

You're serious about this thing. They are with you and you are with them and you don't care who knows it. You’re so excited, you can shout it from the roof top. I’m in a relationship and I’m in love!!!!

Since we know this in our natural covenants, it’s imperative that we’re the same way and more in our covenant relationship with God.  We have to be faithful to HIM. He declared His love for us over 2000 years ago and we declared our love for Him when we received the gift of salvation from Him. 
We began the love, the relationship and now we are committed; we can't cheat on Him. He's faithful to us every day, hour, minute and moment with new grace and mercy.

He tells us that He'll never leave us or forsake us. That's His word and it’s a promise that He’s not going anywhere.

Then why leave Him? Why cheat on Him when He’s so faithful to us? Some may not physical leave the relationship with God but we cheat on Him when we're doubting, murmuring, complaining, worrying, burdened down, wavering, double minded, gossiping, back biting, fornicating, stealing, lying, etc. But God, is still right there in relationship with us and ever so faithful.

But, what about when we do walk away from him? When something or someone else has caught our eye and attention? We desire to see and talk to them more than God, we engage in ungodly tasks, talks and acts. We put them first and the Lord specifically tells us in His word throughout the bible that our God is a jealous God. Exodus 20:5, 34:14, Deuteronomy 5:9, Joshua 24:19.

He’ll have no other gods before Him, but we think the grass is always greener on the other side but how many of us know that it's weeds over there too? Let’s stay with God and where He is.

In 2013 at the women’s victory retreat called the Bride of Christ I learned that the Lord betrothed me.
 
Betroth means - to promise to marry, to wed.

In Hosea 2:19-20 he tells us
“I will betroth you to Me forever;
Yes, I will betroth you to Me
In righteousness and justice,
In lovingkindness and mercy;
I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness,
And you shall know the Lord. 

At that retreat Jesus married me. Actually I was His bride long before the revelation came to me; I just didn't know. Do you? If you didn't know, now you do; because He's betrothed you too. He's your husband, He picked you, He came after you and He loved you first.  Let's return back to our first love of God with a commitment, determination, and conviction, to stay in this marriage to the very end; until the Lord God comes back. (Coming back to get His bride).

I don’t know about you but I don't want to cheat on Him anymore.  He is God, I want to trust Him wholehearted and take Him at His word and promises for my life. Matt 28:20b reads and surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

Thanks for reading, be blessed and please share.

Don't Even Think About It....

You love me in spite of me.

You love me so much that you'll send a word to me; even when I think of doing something that's out of your will, you'll send someone to me that's in the midst of that same storm or coming out of it to save us both.

Despite of what it looks like, feels like, if it ain't right, it ain't God. Now it's up to me to do what is right at this point. I can go left, I can go right or I can stay on the narrow path that my Father has laid out for me to walk. It's my free will. A scary thought but it's true
. 
But God, how much does He love me that He'll show me what's ahead before I walk that crooked path. There have been and will be other times again that I’ll feel like this saved path is lonely and that I'm missing out on something but oh God you have a way of letting me know that I'm never alone and that I’m not part of this world. I can’t be, I’m a king’s kid, an heir to the throne, a daughter of God.
You word clearly states in Deuteronomy 31:6 you'll never leave me or forsake me, for the Lord my God goes with me; and since I’m a kings kid, a daughter and an heir,  I can fully rely on the promised word of God in John 18:36 when Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world.

I’m just not; and never have been.

Jesus, you're always right there beside me, behind me and in front of me, you've got me all the way around. You are God that holds me with His righteous right hand.
I thank you God for loving me when I feel unlovable, for keeping me when I don't want to be kept; but what is really mind blowing right now is that He’s covering me even when I just think about coming from under His covenant (covering) that He made and has just for me.

Jesus, you think about and love me just that much. And He feels the same way about you too sisters.
He’s here, He’s near, and you've got me; always have and always will. He’s got you too sis!
I know it, you've shown it but now it's up to me to believe it. You too sis!
Somewhere along the path I changed, I looked another way but God is showing me that it's never too late to get back to Him. You too sis!

We can do it by getting back into our word, prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer, communing with like-minded people (who love God), not entertaining foolishness, and standing on the solid foundation that was built from the beginning will get us back on track. He’s right there waiting.

This living a saved life is a struggle for real for real; but once you get real with God and yourself you'll find that it becomes easier with Him to stay there. *but it’s a process, an ongoing process.

One more thing, there's so much power in telling your story. You don't know who else is struggling and going through too. Get your power back and tell your story. Share your storm even in the midst of it, there will be sunshine to follow.

Thank you for reading, be blessed and please share, if not this then your story, your message, your testimony, to help release and free someone else.
