My Letter of Encouragement to you.

Dear Friends, Strangers, Loved ones,

This is my letter of encouragement to you. Waiting on the Lord is a good thing to do. Especially when it comes to things like meeting your Spruces, or for an answer to a prayer. However that does not mean sit around doing nothing. I have in the past driven myself into depressions. Because I felt like my life was on hold. I prayed, I read my Bible, I lived day by day. But things did not seem to change. That is until I got off my rear and started putting myself out there. I don’t know what I was waiting on back then, some life altering change. Silly me, my heart has done that many times for me. I was trying to live up to the world’s view of a successful person.

I do not have a job, I am not married, I have no children, I still live at home. But does that define me? NO! God does. He has opened the door for me on many occasions to minister to others, to pray for others, to help those in need. However that does not define me either. I do not sit on my but doing nothing either. What defines me is who I choose to be. How I choose to act. If I choose to wait on God, good. But on some things you need to step out and take a chance.

I started walking daily to get fresh air and to make a change in my
daily schedule.I know it was a small one, but it was a big deal to me back then. I lived a lone and in a strange city. If all I did was stay in-doors all day, every day, I would go mad. I choose not to.

Now, years latter, I run the home for my family, clean daily, cook when needed, run errands when needed, I watch my nephew, and take care of the pets. I do those things because I choose to, because I love my family. I want to be a blessing I want to set an example of God, I want to be a good child.

I have told you many times stand up for God, spread God’s Love. Be a living example. People watch you. What you do matters. Watch your attitude, watch how you treat others.

Do you like what you see. Do you think God, Jesus will be proud of you. I know it is impossible to be perfect, I am not asking you to be. God will love you either way. My mother used to say to me. “Think about when Jesus comes back. How do you want him to find you.?” Sometimes I even forget that. That saying “W.W.J.D. = What would Jesus Do” is a great reminder to have posted some where in your home, or room.

Please do not be depressed, don’t be hard on yourself, don’t sit around doing nothing. Stand up and do something that will benefit you and be an example of God’s awesomeness. Start a bible study / prayer Group, join a church, do something in your community, volunteer some where. When you do something for others not only will you find joy, you will be doing something important and making a difference too.

Hosea 8:7:

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.

Hosea 10:12:

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

Revelation 1:8

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Colossians 1:10

And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God

God bless you! Your in my prayers!

!STAND UP HEALED!

!STAND UP HEALED!
Isaiah 53:5

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed..

I am sorry again it has been too long. I don’t like making excuses. I honestly have had no idea on what to write about. I had a few ideas but nothing seemed to flow. I wait On God and then write what he wants me to. Plain and Simple. The topic was in front of my face. I am was just to blind to see it.

Join our mailing list so you know when we update.

So here I go.

The past three and a half months: My family, my friends, and extended friends have been dealing with Health issues and even deaths in their lives. The Devil has been attacking his children like crazy and his children loved ones. John 10:10 ~ The Devil comes to steal from you, to kill you, and to destroy you. ~ We all know that part of the verse. But we often forget the most important part.~ But I come to bring you Life and to bring it Abundantly. We can not forget that anymore. We need to stand up against the devil and his lies. YES they are lies, because God is the father of Life! As his children we have his Life in us. We need to realize that and fight for it. Even when we do not feel healed, we are to act in faith as if we are. We should praise and worship God as we act normal. John 7:24 ~ Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. I hate it but we do need to fight. We are in a war with the Devil and until Jesus comes back it will not end.

In my life the Devil’s weapon of choice is illnesses, complications of health. Ever since I was born I have been battling with health attacks. Less then a week ago I had a one on one with God my father about this. And I for once said NO MORE! No more will I be wishy washy when I ask for healing for me or someone else I will see it done! I will not waver in my faith. I claim the gift of healing. (Did you know if you ask God for one of the spiritual gifts he will give it to you because with the holy spirit it is already yours? But that is a topic for next time?)

It seems since I asked for it more people have had things happen. A friend had complications during child birth, she and her son are doing much better. God is good. And today a man I love was attacked with something the Dr.s can not find. Possibly life threatening. But he is Healed in Jesus name! And so are you! Claim your healing and fight for it. It is worth the battle. Trust me, if I didn’t fight for mine I would not be here today. The devil will do all he can to convince you otherwise, it is not worth it, It won’t happen, until you give up. Then guess what, the Devil wins. Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. ~Proverbs 12:18

We humans like easy things, to a point. Few like to fight, battle, play hard ball. But that is what we need to do against the devil. Jeremiah 17:14 ~ Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. We can not let him win. We have the anointing we have the power. When Jesus came back from the dead, he gave us the holy spirit and the authority over evil. Luke 9:1 ~Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

Since Monday when my friend had the complications with her son’s birth soon after I told God and the Devil no more was I going to attack harder. Stand taller, walk into battle. And to my surprise all week I have been getting Bible verses about putting on the armor of God. Which is exactly what I needed to hear, read, and do.

Read on…
Ephesians 6:11-20

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

We need not to forget that God is with us and he will not leave us alone In our times of need as well as our daily life he is always here for us. Joshua 1:9 ~Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. Do not be afraid to cry out to God. He is here for you in your time of need. He loves you! He is your ever loving father after all! ~

Here are some more verses that you should read. Maybe you could write them down or print this and put it in your home or car as a reminder when you are struggling.

~ Psalm 30:2 ~O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

~ Lamentations 3:22-23 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

~ Psalm 104:24 How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

~ Proverbs 3:7-8 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body And refreshment to your bones.

~ Romans 10:9-19 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

Remember, no matter what the situation, remember to praise and worship God. And you will see the Enemy’s Lies fall like the walls of Jericho did. Hebrews 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho came crumbing down.
God Bless you Today and always my friends, my brothers and sisters in Christ. If you need any prayers or want to talk about praises’ feel free to e-mail us.
