Warning (My 3am Preaching Rant but I promise its good)
My 3am old lady wake-up call, led me to lay in bed doing what I do best.. Thinking, pondering, mediating.. and I thought of this weekend.. Mothers day.. and this is how God moves me.. The Spirit prompts me with questions...

When did Jesus compare Himself to a mother?.. and I thought about it, hence this 3am post.. and He showed me when He said "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God's messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn't let me..

Wow! If I had a pulpit in my bedroom, oh good gracious! What is the number one thing I feel most of the time? Protectiveness.. I am constantly, subconsciously, consciously protecting my children.. Im always saying dont do this, dont do that, do your best, and Im always trying to protect their heart and build it up, even though I feel as if I suck alot.. and then as always I get hit with the Spirit illuminating another part of myself.. and that brings me back to my lack of where Im not protective.. I say to myself, isn't it the mans job to protect me?, and God showed me about 4 months ago, that Protection is like my number one natural instinct and gift.. I like to think of it as one as a natural gift I was created with.. Sometimes its used for good, sometimes its not.. How many Cheater show's I have watched, and I think at that moment the women is straight up protecting her heart.. most likely by burning her hubbies clothes on fire, or draining his bank account.. Or Someone is about to get cut and die basically!! and then this is where I think what if the protection was happening years before? What if we weren't so dang selfish as married people! ..

What if we as women didn't think it was our husbands jobs to protect ours hearts, but instead it was our jobs to protect theirs.. What if it wasn't just their job to minister to us, but what it we made it our priority to minister to theirs! "A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands." I dont think this verse was just talking about our children!
I might get a little deleted for this but eh, but we live in a place now where we as women are prompted to take over men's roles.. Im sorry But Honestly I really dont want too. Id rather just keep the roles I was created with.. We are always told we are stronger, we are empowered.. But empowered by who and what?

So this is my call to the fellow ladies.. Guess what we are empowered! Empowered by the Holy Spirit.. To do what you say?

To take the strength and gift of protectiveness, and make that your first priority before there is no statistic for marriages in this country and ~Protect your hubby ~ Protect your Children~Build your house up

Then if us women really want to get crazy empowered.... we will protect the authority God placed over you and your family! That means your pastor and leadership.. That's means no more gossiping, or slandering, or drunken wine nights.. God knows that we love to talk especially over a drunken bender!

What if the women in your church stood behind every man that God called to that place.. What if the women in your church built up and encouraged every man in that place.. instead of being the first one to talk about what "they dont like"... Im sorry, but guys just dont talk about that stuff!

Can you imagine that? If we took the empowerment from the Holy Spirit and became the WINGS OF REFUGE!.. Sweet love of Jesus!!

A fabulous wardrobe! A godly wardrobe!

Everyday morning as I sit and reflect, I say to God. Im sorry, Im such a wretch.. Some days I choose to clothe myself in my old nature.. This past year God gave me His eyes and showed me myself, my old self.. I thought I was such a good person.. But really the only good in me came from Him.. He saved me from a lot of choices I have made in my life, He is still saving me.....Lately He has been taking the things I don't enjoy and teaching me through them.. He has been showing me who He is.. Who is I AM! 

He is Good. He is the very nature of Good! He is the very nature of who He says I AM. He tells me that it is possible for me to learn and become like I AM.. Its as simple as taking off some old ratty clothes every morning and clothing myself in His glorious attire..We are such a stubborn people.. We like to wear our old clothes because they are comfortable, they fit just right and we have had them forever.. Take a tour of walmart and you will see jammies all around! Its so much easier to stay comfortable, then to clothe ourselves in the nature of God..

I just Thank you God, that when I ask who is I AM.. You show me through your word. You speak to me in those places I dont enjoy.. I thank you for choosing me and loving me, and wanting only the best wardrobe for me..

Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like Him..Since God chose you to be the holy people He loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony

Return to your First Love!

Jesus is sooo good! He always points to the Father.. Even on the cross, dying He pointed to the Father! He always was glorifying the Father.. I sat in church today thinking of His amazing Love for the Father! Man, I need to get back to that place of just Loving the Father like Jesus does.. The past 1.5 years I have been tired.. So consumed with His fire, and so oppressed by people making the walk harder on His work through me.. I came to this place of freedom, but I wanted to just rest there.. I prayed today that He can help me love Him like I should.. Let me get back that consuming fire for Him.. That passion to see His will be done, no matter what it takes, no matter what or who I have to overcome to get there again... I want you to sit and think about Jesus! And what He did so that He could point you to the Father. So that He could point you to His amazing Love! ‪#‎ReturnToYourFirstLove‬

"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God"

Faith expresses itself in Love

When I am drawn to prayer over my church is something that the Spirit brings me too.. The gift of intercession is sooooo needed in every church.. God knows just what your church needs.. Dont ever stop or hinder prayer from your people..

All my intercessors read Galatians 5 and pray that over your church! All my brothers and sisters pray this over our church!! Freedom purchased by His Love!! Paid for by His death.. Raised In His Resurrection!

That the faith we have expresses itself in love.. That our church is just overflowing with love.. God says that Love never fails.. It is the greatest gift.. It is what shows the world that we belong to God.. It strengthens the church..Its brings freedom. It unites.. It is so important, this is why it is the all the commandments summed up in one, commanded by Jesus! To love each other, and Love God, with everything... With every part of yourself, especially with your faith! It brings freedom to not only the the born again, but the soon-to-be born again.. If only the body of Christ asked for love instead of behavior change from each other, the world would be on fire by now!! ‪#‎SeekTheGiftOfLove‬

His Promise of His Presence!

Seems like there is a this magnitude of suffering going on lately. Yesterday when I was reading about the Egyptians Christians who were murdered I just am filled with sadness! Then today I wake up with multitudes of prayer requests sent to my email and I'm am saddened. So much so that I cant help by cry for those who are suffering in the way they are.. I read that one of they Egyptians cried out for Jesus before he was murdered, and the tears just started to flow.. They are so many people crying out for Jesus right now.. I sit here and beg God for His Spirit to manifest in this town! In this world.. I pray to His Spirit to manifest Himself in all of us.. Not for an abundance of gifts, but for His overflowing Presence! His Presence is where you find healing, where you find comfort, where you find joy, where you find gifts, where you encounter His pure and perfect love. Its where you find Him. If we could all just get on the same page regardless of beliefs on His Spirit.. If we could just get on the same page to see His Presence manifest in the places where we live.. If we could, I can already envision my town so full of His healing, so full of His love, so full of His power, so full of His hope!

That is one promise you can count on,, no matter how sick you are, no matter if you are on deaths door, no matter how broken heartened you are,,... His presence is there.. Its in you! Its in us!! We need to cry out for more.. We need to recognize Him more..

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. "

When we turn Gods blessing into a curse!

When we turn Gods blessing into a curse!

Wow.. I have been pondering this word God gave me a week ago.. I was reading how God made the Egyptians look favorably on the Israelites.. He said "But every woman shall ask of her neighbor and the woman who lives in her house, articles of silver and ARTICLES OF GOLD, and clothing; and YOU WILL PUT THEM ON YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS. Thus you will plunder the Egyptians.".

God blessed them! He not only rescued them and delivered them, but sent them off better then they came in... But..

Mose's absent from them was too much for them to handle, Moses was keeping them straight.. But we are just the same! When we don't "see" God working, or "feel" God working in our life, we start to turn away.. We say, Where is this Jesus that is supposed to be saving me..We say where is this God that delivered me supposedly? And then we create a new god. An Idol.. We create an object of freedom or deliverance,and its usually ourselves or someone else.. We say, we freed ourselves!

Then we take the very same blessing God gave us and we turn it into a curse..

"Come, make us a god who will go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him."Aaron said to them, "TEAR OFF THE GOLD RINGS WHICH ARE IN THE EARS OF YOUR WIVES, YOUR SONS, AND YOUR DAUGHTERS and bring them to me." Then all the people tore off the gold rings which were in their ears and brought them to Aaron"..

Not only do we curse ourselves but we put that curse on the people that we want to bless.. The children of the Israelites never got to experience the next blessing, the Promise land! The children who came out of Egypt who's parents put the articles of gold on, who wondered the wilderness were far beyond the age of 20 after 40 years of traveling....

But God is still faithful! Even with our unfaithfulness. He still blesses us.. He still pours our His grace and favor! He still kept His promise of the Promise land.. The children of the cursed would now find blessing..

He blesses the cursed, even when we curse the blessing..

Holy Spirit

Wow! This is it my friends.. His Spirit is being poured out.. His sons and daughters are walking around with Heaven in them! God created it all and sent prophets to introduce the coming Jesus! Jesus, the savior of the nations.. Jesus came, and introduced the Holy Spirit to us! All three were there in Heaven before the earth was even formed.. They all new this was the plan from the start.. We are in the last days my friends.. This is it.. The Holy Spirit has been introducing us to our real Father, To Jesus, and to our real home! The Holy Spirit has been introducing us to the New Us! The new transformed sanctified, spirit filled us.. There is only one last introduction.. That is Jesus coming with a thunder, and an introduction of a new earth and new heaven! An introduction into eternity! I pray that you know there is no other introduction other than Him.. There is nothing that can save you from your grave other then Him.. 

In the last days,’ God says,
‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.

These verses are from God Himself.. If you are not in a church full of the Holy Spirit, that both sons and daughters are equal, where you are encountering God during the night and during the day,, you need to find a new church! Jesus left you with the Holy Spirit for a reason..! He is not to be feared, He is to be used.. He left you with power from Heaven! ‪#‎ItsHotInHere‬
