“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” (Luke 12:25)

I’ll be vulnerable for a moment here and let you know that I am real and when the enemy attacks me, worry tries to get in my brain.

Just recently I’ve been faced with something horrible. This past week I’ve had to have 2 MRI’S and just Friday morning I was told by the radiologist I need yet another one.

The good news is that in my daily walk with Jesus, the “worrying” is very temporary. Did I go through some worry since last Wednesday? Yes, It tried to creep in my head, my thoughts, my body!

None of us can add a single moment to our lives by worrying. In fact, we actually lose life when we worry. It can cause more health problems and it can shorten our life in ways we don’t even realize.

No matter what problems you and I encounter on any day, God tells us not to worry because He has already overcome the problems and the world. He tells us, “In this world, we will have trouble.”

When we are anxious, it means we are not trusting God to take care of us. Do you believe He is with you and will take care of you?

If you run to Him ladies, He will prove His faithfulness to you and He WILL take care of you! Let me tell you I ran to His feet all week and this past weekend and basically sat in His presence from morning till night alone, while my husband was away at a men’s bootcamp since Wednesday.

Perfect timing with that? It was God’s plan. He wanted me alone with Him.

Dear woman of God, our Lord tells us not to be anxious about anything, we just need to pray about everything! (Philippians 4:6-7)

Prayer is not empty ladies,  nor is it powerless, nor is it wishful thinking. Your prayer moves mountains! Your faith believes God says He will accomplish what He said in His Word!

“With God, ALL things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)

As you and I head into this day, facing things that are unknown to us, God tells us: “Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)

It is a powerful connection we possess with the “One” who is the complete Source of our comfort, strength, and hope. Embrace this relationship.

Please truly trust in God when you pray and BELIEVE what He tells you in His Word.

He spoke to me the night before last. Powerfully. I will be testifying of it all in the book coming out in several more months, Hope Alive – Debilitated to Exhilarated With God. He gave me a story in 5 days of seeking Him completely this past week. Him and I, alone!

As I face my third MRI today, I will remember this scripture He gave to me moments after my miracle came just  Saturday night, November 12th at 2:26 am! As I felt it taking place, and witnessed the miracle in my body while inside my bed, I immediately looked at the clock. I got up talking to God as He led me to the bathroom where my phone was and I saw this scripture right in front of me…

“Then Jesus said to her,” Daughter, because you dare to believe, your faith has healed you. Go with peace in your heart, and be free from your suffering!” (Mark 5:34)

I go into this MRI today believing that God already performed my miracle that same night when He said He did. No more worrying, just pure FAITH!

… TRUST HIM TODAY ❤

“You don’t have to know how to play the game in order to be a cheerleader for someone else who is in it.”

I had a vision of various cheerleaders all dressed up in their uniforms cheering on their teams. I personally don’t know the first thing about football, but I can sit in the stands and joyfully cheer for my grandsons who play in the game.

People often think they have to have it all together before God can use them to help someone else. But that’s not so.

For the Body of Christ, our cheerleader uniforms are “the Love of Christianity for His children” and our shoes, are our “obedience to His Spirit.”

There are times when we have faith to cheer others on and then there are times when we don’t. There are times when the Lord fills us with those measures of faith as a gift for us to be able to complete a specific task. Other times we will have to push our inner man to have faith to cheer people to victory in an area where the Lord is still purifying or healing us. We may not have arrived at the place of full manifestation and that’s ok.

The deeper the revelation, it helps us to glean even more and understand these things.

Beloved, God takes us from level to level with Himself. We can read line upon line and gather precept upon precept but it doesn’t happen all at once. Our lives are a journey and we must take a step in faith to begin the journey with Christ.

Our relationship with God is a faith walk — not a cakewalk. It is not easy but it is WORTH IT!

You don’t have to have a title, a college degree, or experience to get your pom poms on and start shaking them. Scream your godly encouragement from the top of your lungs!

When someone makes a score, yell, “YAYYYYYYYYYYY!” When you see a player miss the basket and they feel discouraged about it, yell, “It’s okay, you’ll get it the next time. Keep trying, you’ll get better at it!”

Let’s all be cheerleaders for God’s kingdom realm.

EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:

How did you wake up today, happy or sad? Did you start your day rejoicing?

Gratitude determines our attitude. The more we look for things to be grateful for, the better we become in our attitudes and then it helps the outcomes of our situations. I’m walking this out at this very moment. Trusting God with the right attitude as I await the results of an MRI and head into another one on Monday.

Rejoicing is a habit that we choose. I wake up and purposefully make the effort to thank God for another day to wake up and get to serve Him before my feet ever touch the ground. I rejoice in Him. It has nothing to do with the details of my circumstances in my life but has to do with my heart for God. It has everything to do with my heart being fixed and focused on Him.

I started making a thankful heart a consientious practice each morning several years ago and quickly I see how practice makes my day perfect with Jesus! It’s Him and I as we travel through each day. I trust with a heart of thanks that I have another day on this earth to serve Him.

A heart full of gratitude is key, please hear my heart! Its KEY. Praise Him, even through the storms of life.

When the alarm rings, thank God for new mercies not just for today, but every morning. This is the day that the Lord has made – choose to meet it with rejoicing in Him and gladness to serve Him.

As we head to work or our daily routines of home life – offer continuously a sacrifice of praise to God. Don’t complain. Please don’t complain…It messes your head and makes bad things worse! Thank God for the means to have provisions for yourself. He provided for our families and for healthy bodies to be able to accomplish what we are called to do each day, didn’t He?

When you face sleep time, thank God for your bed, your safe home, for protection over all your loved ones, for the food that came to you that day, thank Him for it all.

And the number one thing in our hearts of gratitude should be thanking God for the JOY of our salvation!

The blood of Jesus has cleansed us, forgiven us, and set us completely free to get through any trial we face.

I know when I face a rough day or a little “more than usual” issues come at me, I’m “in the know” to combat them by always remembering and THANKING God for His sufficient grace.  It covers all my imperfections and sustains me to get me through. My day ALWAYS gets better. Please try it.

Thank God daily for your protection, and provisions, and always praise Him throughout the day.

Make gratitude your point of purpose!

As we think of all He has done for each of us,  our hearts can rejoice and our attitude will follow. Just confess right away if there is any time you get into a bad attitude. Don’t stay in that place. Confess it to God! But do it quickly and in a second. Let’s turn any bad attitude around, rejoice, and be glad in Jesus! His Word tells us to “Rejoice in the Lord ALWAYS! and again, I say rejoice!”

“This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)

EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:

PURPOSE has been my word of the month and I am so driven right now to encourage you to find your purpose! We all have purpose.

God has called each and every one of us to use the gifts and talents He has given to us generously upon creation. Now it is your time to use it for your life.

We cannot sit idle with our time anymore and then expect that God is going to just drop a sign from heaven straight into our lap that says, “I need you to get this done for Me-and do it right now.”

No that’s absurd, He’s using me to speak it over you loud and clear, especially since you are reading this. “Let’s get going!” We can all do this together ❤️.  Serving God is a gift to treasure. Each day is more exceptional than the last.

Until you get fired up and started; it will just be the same old place you sit each day, waiting for your sign.

Please get up, get out, and get going because the time left here is short! We are in a crisis world that is crying for peace. It requires a believer who loves Jesus to deliver hope, a step of Faith on your part to begin the healing message to the world, the hope of Jesus.

Step into what God says in His Word and take up your cross and follow Him with bold tenacious faith.

“Go out into all the world and preach the gospel.”

Are you doing this? If not, why?

He is waiting. You are equipped! Now go! Preach and teach what you know to be TRUTH! All of His Word is pure truth. You have a story, lady.

The gospel is free to everyone, we just need to help by opening our mouths (whatever that may look like) to deliver it. 🙏🏼

EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:

God is your defender. You must not hide or back down to allow the enemy to stop you. God will release His justice over the injustice caused in your life.

I had this spoken over me, which fuels my heart more and more! God will release His justice over the injustice in my life! God definitely has my back, and I see it every day I live.

The enemy believed he could stop me 6 years ago with a tragedy in my family. He wormed his way in and infected lives terribly. It’s a sad situation, but what the enemy meant for harm, our faithful God has turned it for good in His time! Yes, He did!

Women World Leaders was birthed out of that pain and tragedy and is growing beyond imagination because of His miraculous POWER to do the unbelievable. We see it every day within this ministry birthed by God. The God of the heavens is always working on each of our behalf. He works ALL things together for good and does it in His time.

Do not allow the enemy to steal anything from you, precious woman of God, not your past, present situation, or anything, ever! It ALL belongs to God! He’s got you!

Get angry. Angry at sin! Angry at the oppression. God will triumph over it all with His justice over the injustice brought against you!

God has delivered a billionfold to me through Women World Leaders! It’s a portion of joy that can never be subdued, no matter how hard the enemy tries to knock me down or attack me where it hurts. God’s mercies are new every day, and I cling to His promises. I pray that over each of you.

Cling to God and truth!

God is wanting to use YOU in the midst of your pain. I promise you, push through it all at this very moment and see what God will do with your faith.

Deuteronomy 32:4

” The Lord is your mighty defender”.

He wants to use you in the midst of your pain to set you free and run for Him!”

RUN FOR JESUS!!!! RUN FOR HIS GLORY!

EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:

Are you facing a battle today? Do you feel that someone is wishing you harm because of jealousy,  unforgiveness, or strife? It could be anything or anyone that may be opposed to you or opposed to the Almighty God within your life.

God is your deliverer.

In a moment of calm and when you could be doing a lot of other things, just STOP. Praise God for bringing you through the battle of it, and sit in the quiet and Praise Him.

The POWER  of the Lord will save you, protect you, and deliver you. Please give all glory to God when He does this. Don’t just be relieved in the moment and go on about your business; glorify God!

Are you in a struggle? You are NOT in this battle alone. Do you feel as though the enemy is moving in on you and circling you as if he wants you for lunch?

If you are answering yes, please stop and thank God for ALL of His deliverance within your life.  Thank Him now.

Develop your own way of praise to your Lord.  Talk to Him saying, “Lord, You are worthy of ALL praise.” Tell Him, “I will worship You during these times of battle as well as times of peace. I will praise You in the storm, God. You are Worthy of ALL my praise.”

Then do so.

Worship Him. Thank Him for the outcome. It’s happening. Do you believe Him? In these times, I Google my favorite song of late and worship Him. The song is called “Holy Forever.” Please try closing your eyes and listening to this song. It’s powerful, and worship Him in ALL the glory He deserves!

Many of you know that I personally have been in a 6-year battle now, and I am claiming VICTORY! The battle has been won, in Jesus’ Name! I praise God now for the outcome, and I have not stopped. I know with all my heart, by faith, that He has won the battle for me. My faith will not be moved. I have been badly bruised, deeply shaken, my heart ripped and torn to smithereens, but my faith WILL NOT BE MOVED.

Stand strongly, woman of God. Your battle has already been won. Praise God for His mercies and truth, and worship Him for Who He Is on your behalf! Worship Him in the battle.

“Oh Lord, I have so many enemies; so many are against me…but You, oh Lord, are my shield around me; You are my glory, the One who holds my head high…Victory comes from You, O Lord.  (Psalm 3:1,3,8)

Let’s praise Him in the storm!

EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:

Every woman wants a hero who will pursue her, fight for her, and rescue her from whatever harm is out there…is this reality?

Some say fairytales are birthed from the true desires of our hearts. Well, don’t stop at the imagery of being swept away by your night in shining armor when we could have a true love affair with our Prince of Peace, Lord of Lords, and King of Kings!

Christ Jesus is our real-life love story. He left heaven to pursue us. He fought for us by dying on the cross, went down to hell, snatched the keys of death from the devil, and ascended to heaven, where He’s making plans for our wedding day!

Right? Wow! For each of us 😁!

He’s making a mansion where we can live forever with Him. I think this makes for a true love story. We need to keep the fire in our hearts burning with passion for our King of Kings, Christ Jesus!!! He is everything you need. – Do not fear. He is the Lord, your God, your “Light” in shining armor! He’s not your knight in armor, so to speak, but the LIGHT OF YOUR WORLD!

“The Lord is the Great I AM. ” Who was, is, and is to come.”

(Exodus 3:13-15; Revelation 4:8)

HE IS ALL YOU’LL EVER NEED!

EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:

The rumblings have begun, and we, as believers, must keep watch. God does not slumber or sleep, and He has His watchful eye on everything happening in our world!

The countries of this world are like dominoes and ready to tumble as they tread further away from God into debauchery and draw closer to the lies of the enemy. We can see it happening in front of us. BE STRONG, women of God!

Be careful, and please keep your hearts, minds, and thoughts on Jesus and His Word.

Here in the USA, how did we go from our country being “one nation under God” to losing our ground and becoming a place of moral decline? It’s because our eyes are not fixated on truth and what God’s word instructs of us. Let’s get more focused, especially as Leaders that God has called us to be in Him!

Secular values have been forced on people of faith. It’s really real when we open our eyes and see it clearly. We can see that there has been an all-out assault on religion and our Christian values everywhere we look.

As I studied the word this morning and thought about the rumblings, I asked God, “Why is this so prevalent now with such intensity, at this specific time in history?” I sat in wonder: will I live to see prophecy fulfilled? It gives me goosebumps that I’m actually seeing God’s word alive with my own eyes.

God’s word to us clearly showed me today when He said…

“Do not defile yourselves with any of these things, for by all these, the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. For the land is defiled; therefore, I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants.  You shall, therefore, keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations…lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.” (Leviticus 18:24-28)

I believe as we see God’s prophetic clock inch closer to His return, we should be running with urgency the race God has called us to! Find people who are lost with no hope; love on them. Bring them to our Jesus. I felt God urging me to charge you, my sisters of faith. Get armored up and ready to proclaim His Name and show His mighty power and love and forgiveness (if you’re not doing so already!)

Our world is headed for some sad destruction quickly. We are on the victorious side of the battle; there is no doubt, women of God, but we must stand STRONG in the Lord. Find joy in this and in serving others with the love of Jesus. Serve God with gladness and be ready to give an account to every person who is in need of the hope, the hope that lies within you.

JESUS!

Love you all, and I pray for you daily!

EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:

If we can fly above the clouds of controversy, division, and limitations, we can confuse the enemy who flies below in the darkness. He won’t see us! 🙌

We can cause the enemy of believers to run in the opposite direction, looking about in panic because we have disappeared into God’s divine protection, soaring into the never-ending light which is high above the darkness, above the clouds, and above all the turmoil. The devil does not want this; he wants to keep us in dark captivity, sinking us deeper and deeper into darkness.

Which way are you going?

Being above it all with Jesus, we are unstoppable there. We are sheltered in His wings and safe from any harm. We float above our trials, above our misery, and above any depression. The devil can’t reach us there because he can’t see us. Where light is, there can be no darkness. Where the Name of Jesus is, the enemy HAS to flee!!!!! For sure!

“Who are these who soar like clouds, flying like doves into their portals.” (Isaiah 60:8)

We can fly far above what this world puts out and find our rest in the light of His never-ending love for us, in the shadow of His mighty wings. Reaching higher and higher into the heavens for the cause of Christ, we nestle ourselves into the wings of a God who won’t ever let us go.

“When you sit enthroned under the shadow of Shaddai, you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.” (Psalm 91:1)

“His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you. You can run under his covering of majesty and hide. His arms of faithfulness are a shield, keeping you from harm.” (Psalm 91:4)

Rest in this, dear woman of God, REST IN THIS!❤

EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:

We are the daughters of the Most High God! All knowledge and power flow through you because you’re rooted and grounded in Him! Your faith in God and His Word will get you through anything, and you can take that for everything it’s worth.

To me, I’ve been facing another challenge as of late. I can either trust God by faith or not.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…” ( Genesis1:26, KJV)

The Hebrew word “likeness means to “operate like,” not “look like.” I’ve been processing this for the past two months as I’ve been somewhat anxious, fearful at times, and in a state of constate question. I’m battling the flesh each day and the “stinkin thinkin” in my mind. I’m realizing that if I’m not functioning like God, I’m malfunctioning.

So, how does God operate? God operates by faith. So, in order for me to get through this health hurdle and challenge I’m facing, I must operate by faith.

…without faith, it is impossible to please God… ( Hebrews 11:6), and I want to please God in ALL I do. So, daily, moment to moment, as my mind triggers doubts, I stop, and I surrender.

Faith is not an option for us; it’s a requirement. I know this very well. So, I have to exercise my faith muscle, confess my fear, and keep pressing forward with faith in God’s word.

It’s not fiction; it’s Word. His Word is TRUTH.  I either believe or I don’t. Faith creates miracles, and I’m choosing to believe in the daily miracles of God.

“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. ( Hebrews 11:1) I can choose to believe the lie the enemy puts in my head over and over or cast them down and back to hell! I fight it every time and look up to God, and gird myself with His strength! I choose to walk in His light since He is the ruler of my life. This is a constant battle of the flesh, and when I want to fear because of what my earthly eyes see in front of me, I immediately confess it to God. I fight back and say, “God, I trust YOU,” and then quote scripture to Him! I declare His TRUTHS! His Word is the TRUTH that sustains me. His Word will sustain you, too!  Believe!

Faith is knowing God is real based on His Word.  I trust every word in the Bible.

“Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately, he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road. (Mark 10:52)

Stay connected to the source, ladies! “You have not because you ask not.” (Luke 11:9)

I’m asking God!

I know many of you are relating to me at this moment as you read, and because of this and on your behalf, I’m asking God for your miracle, too. 🙏🏼
