Psalm 23

Good Morning Ladies,
More than a couple of weeks ago in prayer the Holy Spirit had me reciting passages from Psalm 23. It wasn't verbatim, and it wasn't from beginning to end but it was scriptures I do know from Psalm 23.
He said to go to the bible and read it because during the prayer He ad lib certain verses and it filled my soul tremendously.
Since that day I have read it almost daily to remind myself what He wanted me to know and here it is below.

The Lord is my Good Shepherd, I shall not be in want. (My Jehovah Jireh, My Provider)
(There will be no lack in my house, all your needs shall be met)

(The words in bold are all action words and He performs these actions by taking me personally by the hand...)
He makes me lie down in green pastures (a place of abundance, prosperity, and growth)
He leads me beside still waters, (a place of calmness, quiet, and peace)
He restores my soul. (He pours back into me, and gives me rest)
He guides me in paths of righteousness (He orders my steps on the road He says to take) for His name sake (He'll honor me with His name)
Eventhough I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (circumstances, situations, may get tough and I have seen death many times He is ALWAYS with me)
I will fear no evil, (I gave you power) for you are with me. (Lo, I am with you always, I said that I will never leave you nor forsake you.  I am Jehovah Shammah.)

Your rod and your staff they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies (Come, have a seat at the King's table)
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows (this is my year of gathering, I will live in my abundance and overflow)
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life (my glory cloud) and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Thank you for reading, be blessed, and please share.

Prodigal Daughter

Have you ever read the parable of the prodigal son? It's listed here https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15%3A11-32&version=NIV

If not let me give you my brief synopsis of it.
A son demands his inheritance from his father (who freely obliges) and goes off into the world to live. He spends and waste all that he has and begins living in the world as a pauper- no money, shelter, food, friends. He loses everything.
It’s not until he comes to his senses, his right mind, that he decides to go back home to his father to try life over again.
I like the story of the prodigal son. It's a mirroring image of our lives and how we returned; and are still coming forth to our Father.

This will be entitled the Prodigal Daughter.

How many of us have this story? I do. I came back many of times and so did you; and God was there to accept me with open and loving arms.
Before I go any further I had to look up the word prodigal

Merriam Webster reads carelessly and foolishly spending money, time, etc
dictionary.com: states prodigal son – noun - in the Bible, a character who recklessly wasted his inheritance but returned home repentant and is joyfully received by his family; also called prodigal child

We were (some are) prodigal daughters, we got grown, started smelling ourselves, thought we knew everything and walked away from the path and the hand of God that He had for us.
We began to do things that were not pleasing to our Father but was pleasing to the world like, partying, T-UP, T-UP, smoking, drinking, fornicating, committing adultery, cursing, lying, and stealing, doing drugs, to name a few until you got sick and tired of being sick and tired then one day you hit rock bottom.

#BOOM #BAM #POW #PIT #DIRT #STREET #DEADEND #ALMOSTDEATH #STDs #HPV

You've come to your senses, you realize that you're tired of running with ratchetness and you need righteousness.
You're tired of living below in slop with pigs when you're used to living highly favored and blessed by the best.

So you come on back and trust me it's never too late.
You turn around.
You come around.
You circle back to the one you left, your Father, your Savior, Your Redeemer, and the One who's rejoicing your return.
He's smiling, clapping, and getting the very best ready for you and your return because He's so excited that you're back.
Come back home to where you belong.

There's nothing out there in the world for you- remember you live in this world but you are not a part of it.

1Peter 2:9 states a fact but you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

So sisters, if some of you are living this life like you're still in the world and you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired then be like the prodigal son and get out of the slop with the pigs, come to your senses and return home to your Father’s house and arms.

He's waiting.

In v20, So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

He's going to throw you a party. 
It's nothing too bad, nasty, disgusting, or ugly that you've done, said, or performed, that He won't accept you back. 
He already knows what you have done, He already knows the life and the plans that He has for you. 
He loves you now more than ever because your test....testimony, mess....message, trials...triumphs, misery....ministry, is going to help someone else be set free trust me, but most of all please trust God.  
Come on He's waiting!!!! 
I know that this release was for a number of people today and I'm praying that you received it and that you share it with others. 
There are so many of you that I have not seen in the natural but that I see in the spirit that need to come back in. 

Be blessed, happy reading and please share

New York, New York

A few months ago I went on vacation to New York. One of the things that I really wanted to do was get on the train. I've always heard about it, seen it on TV, and in the movies so I wanted to experience it for myself.

Well, well, well, about that New York transportation life- it's so underground the lower you go the hotter it gets....spiritually isn't that like hell really? The deeper you go in your sin the harder it is to get out...the lower you go the harder it is to come back up...So many twist, turns, and ways.

We needed to go Uptown I believe I can't remember at this exact moment but all I know is that we needed a MetroCard, to get on the train- to have access, (yep, you can easily  access sin too) we went through the turnstile and had to find our way to the D train, the right D train going Uptown because if not it could take us Downtown and that's not where we wanted to go, you had to pay attention.

If not again,  you would be lost.
Welp, we were obviously looking lost because a conductor from another train asked where we were going, we told him that we were looking for the D train. He told us to go down this way, turn that way, go around here and you'll be there. 

Thank God for that angel....it was late at night and I noticed that oh my goodness it's still a lot of people scurrying around, some slow, some fast, looking like they know where they're going and headed to their destinations but are they? 
Some where just sitting there, not doing anything, the majority were on a mission to get someplace but the others, sitting around aimlessly, and kind of hung out, those are the ones that I looked at, prayed for and asked God what are their stories, how did they get here?

So many ways to get to this same place...the bottom.  
It's like we were all going to the same place, the bottom. The more we walked down, the hotter it got, and I tell you, I did not like it, I started taking off my layers and I said Jesus, it's too underground and hot down here, I don't like this....this is what Hell has to feel like and worse. My God, as soon as I said it that thing  started resonating and becoming more and more imaginable to me. 

The blood Jesus.  
I began to talk with the other ladies in the group about it too and we were all in agreement. 

Lost people in sin or who have turned back to the world are at some point vying to come back to the top, to get out, up to the light and breathe some fresh air. Not caring who you run into and knock down. Just trying to find their way and asking along the way is this how I get out? Is this how I get free again? 
Somebody help me please. #frantic #panic

Thank God, that we had someone to notice that we looked lost and couldn't find our way; and gave us good directions to where we needed to go.

I pray that others that are lost and can't find their way get out too. I pray as sisters that we are able to identify others that look lost, that look like they need help out but don't know how to seek it and we are there to help them. 
Some one did it for us. 
It's a dark place the bottom is, (SIN IS) many spend hours, days, weeks, months, years, or a lifetime there but there are some that make it out!! We did.

As I was finishing this release the Holy Spirit reminded me of the book Dante's Inferno by John Ciardi, I read it in grammar school, but I remembered it because it talked about the levels of Hell so I looked it up and I"m like wow God, that thing is so real.  I get it. 

Here is a very brief synopsis via Google:
 Inferno opens on the evening of Good Friday in the year 1300. Traveling through a dark wood, Dante Alighieri has lost his path and now wanders fearfully through the forest. The sun shines down on a mountain above him, and he attempts to climb up to it but finds his way blocked by three beasts—a leopard, a lion, and a she-wolf. Frightened and helpless, Dante returns to the dark wood. Here he encounters the ghost of Virgil, the great Roman poet, who has come to guide Dante back to his path, to the top of the mountain. Virgil says that their path will take them through Hell and that they will eventually reach Heaven, where Dante’s beloved Beatrice awaits. He adds that it was Beatrice, along with two other holy women, who, seeing Dante lost in the wood, sent Virgil to guide him.
Virgil leads Dante through the gates of Hell, marked by the haunting inscription “abandon all hope, you who enter here
See pictures below.  Going back to this and reading it really blessed me and put a lot into perspective. 
I was like God the deeper you go into sin the deeper you go into Hell, Jesus just see for yourself ladies.
But your our salvation and our way out God!

Be blessed, happy reading and please share

The Levels of Hell

This is Personal



Ladies, I’m sure the majority of you remember this. The beginning is a part of a sermon that Pastor Hannah preached some time ago, it was good and it was personal. Not only do I remember being at His feet but He took me back to a time of being in my hurt and brokenness at His feet.

Deidre wept.
Deidre wet.
Deidre wiped.
Deidre kissed.
Deidre poured out perfumed and was forgiven and was sent on her way but before Deidre left
she handed Jesus her broken and shattered heart and asked, "Will you please fix this? Can you come into this and make this whole? Somehow? Someway? If you can't, no one can. I've tried it on my own and it doesn't work.”

“Of course” Jesus said, “Sure, I will Deidre.”

I've recently learned at bible study that the enemy will call you by your handicap, not your name; but God, will call you by your name and not your handicap.
God, thank you for calling my name.

Isaiah 61:1b reads He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives 3a to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.

Wait right here, I’ll be back.

During that time of waiting Father we have no choice but to trust and believe in you that you’re doing what you want to do with our hearts that we have handed over and given to you.

Isaiah 64:8 reads Yet you, Lord, are our Father.
    We are the clay, you are the potter;
    we are all the work of your hand. 

You’re shaping us, molding us, and making us into your image. You’re creating us into who you want us to be in you. We’re a mirror image of our Father God from the inside out beginning with our hearts because that’s where it starts; from the heart. 

A reflection of Him. 

I love when people tell me I look just like my Daddy as I get older. I be like yep, I sure do. 
Thank you, with a big ole smile on my face. 

He tells us in Colossians 2:10 that we are complete in Him.
Period. That’s it. He fixes and fills all are empty spaces, places, voids and holes in our heart.
He’s the only one that can do it. He’s the one that makes our life complete when we get a made a mind to give everything to Him. 

Psalm 18:20-24 (MSG) God made my life complete
    when I placed all the pieces before him.
When I got my act together,
    he gave me a fresh start.
Now I’m alert to God’s ways;
    I don’t take God for granted.
Every day I review the ways he works;
    I try not to miss a trick.
I feel put back together,
    and I’m watching my step.
God rewrote the text of my life
    when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.
