COME GET ME!

Matthew 14:22-33 New International Version

This picture says a lot. Some of you know the story of the disciples being in a terrible storm out to sea, and Jesus appearing. What we fail to notice are the details that make the story relevant for us. The disciples did not recognize Him! How often do we have a feeling that God or the Spirit is leading us, or telling us to go one way or do something and we question it away? They thought Jesus was a ghost. They walked with Him closely and did not know His voice. No one, but Peter, heard Jesus say,"Do not be afraid...It is me." Peter was not the "favorite" John 21:20* (as noted in the bible), but he was the one who backslid, cussed and fought. Yet, he heard Jesus and said, daringly,"If that is you, then tell me to come out there with you!" And off he went, into a raging storm in the middle of the ocean. Matthew 14:³⁰But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. boisterous. 1. Rough and stormy; violent. 2. Loud, noisy, and lacking in restraint or discipline. What messed Peter up was those left in the boat! They began yelling and talking about how he was going to drown. Their doubt drifted out into the sea along side Peter and he heard them and listened. These represent your friends and family! They can SEE God doing the miraculous in your life with their own two eyes and STILL talk you out of believing it yourself. WHO DO YOU BELIEVE?

If your vision seems to be too BIG and impossible, that is because it is from God and the only way you can do it is with Him alone! Ask Him to tell you to come out in the middle of the storm and WALK! Please remember that if you begin to fall, He is sure to meet you where you are and get you back onto sure footing.

GO THROUGH!

Genesis 50:20

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

If you think about the evil plans that people have executed against you , sometimes you have got to wonder,"Why did He allow that thing to happen?" He didn't stop it! He showed you who you are IN IT! He changed things around where you knew that it could ONLY be Him who did it.

Examples would be losing a job, so that in it, you would have to depend on HIM! You could waste time being bitter and angry or questioning it. Later you come to see that you were SET FREE and HE doubled your portion and you got a promotion with a BONUS!

Romans 8:28

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

James 1:2-4

2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

We are called to worship Him in Spirit and truth, through good and bad, ups and downs. I have to remember ALL the other times when I didn't know where I would go, or what I would do and then I can testify to MYSELF that HE Has NEVER LEFT ME or forsaken me. I have NEVER lacked for a thing. He has ALWAYS turned it around for my good.

EVEN MY MISTAKES HAVE BLESSED ME! HALLELUJAH!

God I want to thank you for touching those who read this. Let the Holy Spirit pour over them as You minister to their need. Lord, let them know that YOU are the still small voice beyond the turbulence that life brings them. Lord protect their minds, and hearts. Show them your patient loving kindness, even when they question where You are. Finally, God, I pray that you would enlarge their territory. Give them mercy, favor, and abundance. Open up the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing. In Jesus name

Amen

To my FIRST FRUIT Jamar

 
NO!!!!! You CANNOT HAVE HIM!!! You must not know WHO I AM!!! I am a child of the GREAT I AM! I will NOT back down or be denied, discouraged or tossed to the side. Don't start no mess because you cannot handle the truth! The truth shall make us ALL free! 

My son is a healthy,  smart, well behaved child of the KING! He is patient, kind, loving, and oh so handsome. His mind is focused and his spirit is beautiful. He is the heir to the throne. Blessings run him down. He is anointed and prophetic and powerful! 

He is the FIRST FRUIT! My very first sacrifice. He belongs only to GOD! The first fruit is special. It is separated from everything else. It marks the beginnings of freedom from slavery.

(James 1:18 (NIV)
18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created

The first fruit to the Lord is special. It is the best you have to offer and usually a bigger sacrifice. So I gave HIM my best. Lord have your way with him! I give him to YOU! In Ezekiel 44:30, it is said that a blessing will rest on my house when I give you my first!

Lord I am humbled at the remembrance of YOUR promises! You say Yea and Amen! I know what YOU said is true. It may not feel good now, but I know what YOU said and I will not forget. Thank you for the redeeming power over my first fruit seed. Thank you for your patient loving ways that are so beyond me. Thank you LORD Thank YOU!!!!!! Hallelujah AMEN! HE said IT, I BELIEVE IT, THAT SETTLES IT! 

My Commitment as a Woman of God

I am of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit and the power that comes with Him. The dye has been cast. I have stepped over the line and the decision has been made. I am a disciple of His. I will not look back, or let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed and covered under the blood. My presence makes sense and my future holds purpose. My future is definitely secure. I am finished and done with low living, slight walking, small planning, small thinking, colorless visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarf thinking.

I no longer need popularity, applause, position, early promotion, flattery, or praise from man. I don't have to be right, or first or recognized or regarded or rewarded by man.

I live by faith, lean on his presence, walk by patience, lifted and infused by prayer and labor by his DUNAMIS (strength or power from God) power. MY FACE IS SET, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my mission is clear and my source is reliable.

I cannot be bought, paid off, bribed, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, delayed, or distracted. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy or ponder at the pools of popularity.

I WILL NOT GIVE UP, SHUT UP,OR LET UP, until I have stayed up, prayed up, stored up, paid up for the cause of Christ and my father. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must tell of His coming, give until I drop, preach until all men know and work until HE stops me. I know NO limitations!

My children are obedient and taught of the Lord. They wake up and call me blessed. They have no choice but to follow God all the days of their lives. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me from the world. My banner will be lifter high, my line of demarcation will be clear. I AM GOD'S WOMAN!

ALL THINGS.............

"Cause me to hear Your loving kindness in the morning, For in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You"
(Psalm 143:8) Oh to be kept by Jesus is the ONLY way to be a kept woman! He will never leave you or forsake you! Peace everlasting Joy be yours today and forever more. Thank Him in the Bad and thank Him in the good. For ALL things work for together for those that love HIM! Praise Him Loud and proud. For He is not ashamed of us and neither are we of HIM!!!!! The keys of the kingdom are yours to unlock what you will.

You have not, because you ask not.

I dare you to ENLARGE you territory and call upon the King, Father of all, for something today, and it shall be given unto you pressed down, shaken together, and running over because He said we will live an abundant life! AMEN

Boys II Men

So.... it hit me, and I mean HARD!I was listening to my sons arguing about some foolish things and I heard right there,"They are children!" It was like lightening and thunder! People always focus on girls and how they throw away their childhoods because they are getting pregnant and moving too fast in life. What about these boys who are going to be men?
There are times when we, as single parents, (mothers), put a huge responsibility on the eldest boy. He has to be, shall I dare say, the man of the house.
I think that this phenomenon takes on a sick form that we as women have to generally see in grown men now. They act like children!
I think that a lot of guys had to bare such a HUGE responsibility growing up in a house generally with a mother only, that as soon as they can afford to goof off, they do!
They have already been some one's daddy and partner.
So ladies, I know it's hard to do it alone, but leave these boys to be boys! Do not make them grow up too fast because when responsibility comes a knocking they will embrace it as a new challenge and not and OLD BURDEN!

(Destroyer of the strongholds)

Your today, were your thoughts of yesterday. If you don't like it, then you need to "Change your mind." What do you meditate on? You give your spirit permission to make it happen! Even the most perfect thing is not perfect if you have given into your thoughts. You have a perception that is marred and you will unfairly judge who you are with or around. Influences come from everywhere. They come from our families and the ways we were raised. It also comes from our environments. God says he has to get us out of it, so He can get us into our real destiny! We have to let go of "Egypt" to get into the "Promise." Ask God to examine you and then be corrected. God wants you to have life more abundantly, if you do this...........! You must learn to read it that way! The scripture says "might" have life! You know why? Some people choose not to live the abundant life that He has set before us. You don't want to settle. You want to be overwhelmed and taken over by blessings, right? To have a relationship with God is to be happy! A stronghold is a fortress of wrong thoughts! They MUST BE PULLED DOWN!!!! Watch what you look at and listen to. We have moved away from God because of our wrong thought processes. We don't want to give up our life styles for God. We are destroying our families, children, and the future. Sin starts with a thought , turns into a choice and into a habit, then you loose control, and then it becomes bondage and you lose total control! Change your thoughts! Let it become a habit!Be transformed to the renew2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (Amplified Bible)
3For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons.
4For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds,
5[Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),
6Being in readiness to punish every [insubordinate for his] disobedience, when your own submission and obedience [as a church] are fully secured and complete.ing of your mind.

Don't let the "father of lies" have you convinced that you are okay in your everyday habits that are ungodly.

Example of a stronghold:

The man at the pool was laying in front of the healing pool and could not get in it because of a disability.

Jesus asked,"do you want to be healed?"

His answer,"I have no man....." (excuse!)

His mind set was that he needed a man to help him to the pull and when the CHRIST showed up and asked the question his mind had been bound MORE than his body!

Pray with me:

Lord I ask you right now to touch whoever is reading this. That you heal their emotions and their minds. Lord we know that you are a mighty God who can do ALL things that we ask even before we do. I thank you for the mighty deliverance that is taking place in the spirit of the man or woman that was brave enough to acknowledge that they need a to change their minds. Lord place people in their lives that agree with wonderful and positive things and that they cast down and do not agree with those negative thoughts and things that we say. I pray that you would teach us your ways in all things. In Jesus mighty name,

Amen
