Irrelevant

Definition according to Google; The lack of a relation of something, Not confected with what you are discussing or dealing with, un necessary, not having anything to do with the matter at hand Not revelant or applicable to a particular matter or situation. IR= without, not inconsequential, insignificant, pointless, unimportant, unnecessary, unrelated. Personal definition. “Out of style, outdated, not longer needed, not longer accepted, non trending.” As we look around at what is taking place, it’s very easy to get distracted, with the mundane. Never in millions years I thought I will see and experience the ugliness that is taking place. There is not a save place to go. Every one is doing what they think is best in their heart. What was holy it had become unholy. What was wrong had become right. Darkness is over taking the land. As I watch I see mimicking behavior, patterns, easy to recognize, since the enemy can’t create, he counterfeit and duplicate. With laughter, and joke I see how he deceits many. Bulgar jokes, which are intended to be funny. We are becoming desensitized. Normalizing sin has become the norm. And here I stand surround by all asking God what is happening? The word I hear in my heart is “ I have become IRRELEVANT for these people” Our Lord and savior, has become irrelevant; out of style non trending, outdated, not longer needed or accepted. Lord have mercy upon us. Help us to continue being the light in this world of darkness. Help us to walk in love but at the same time standing firm in our conviction. Not to compromise who we are in you. To understand that this is a spiritual war. This world and its pleasures one day will come to end, until then helps us to stand out, stand firm, to swim against the current that is intended to brings us under. We can’t do it without you; help us Lord. We choose to stand firm, for greater is He that is in us than him that’s in the world. Let us not loose heart. Continuing pressing forward. Dispersing the darkness around us, bringing hope to the hopeless. Reveal yourself to us. In Jesus' name. “I will reveal my name to my people, and they will come to know its power. Then at last they will recognize that I am the one who speaks to them” Isaiah 52:6 Love and prayers Ivette Diaz-Yee 3/20/24

His Glory

I had the opportunity to walk the grounds of one of the most beautiful oldest colleges in the Midwest. Voted #1 best value liberal art college in the nation. With students from 26 countries, with a variety of faith backgrounds. 125 years of history within the walls. Thousand of prayers. As I walk inside the old church, feeling and letting my imagination run, I could hear the hymns sung. The many messages preach over the pulpit. Many lives were changed because of their dedication and submission to God. Their willingness to let go of self so they could find God's purpose for their life and the reason they were created for. Going after their destiny. Running after God. Available, faithful, and teachable. I would love to be a fly on the wall so I could experience what they experienced. As I continue to move up the stairs every step is bringing me closer to a new revelation. I come across hundreds of volumes on church history. Walls full of books. Years of history in each book. Each step brings me closer to what awaits me at the end of the room. As I walked by I noticed the big church organ. A small desk with the college information. Wing chair sits by the window. I feel peace in the room. I stood there for what looked like an eternity, not wanting to move. Reluctantly I made it down the stairs. Just to come up once again. I wanted to take pictures of the precious room up the stairs. Something special with the small room. To capture the moment it that was possible. This time I bring my daughter and my phone. I wanted the picture of me sitting by the window. My daughter took some shoots and we left. Sometime later as I am going over the pictures I notice the light coming out of one of the pictures of me sitting by the window. Then I realize that thanks to technology we were able to have a glimpse of heaven, the rays of glory, His presence was tangible and we captured. This is the 2nd time in the last few months that I am able to capture glimpses of heavens. If we are willing to press on. If we yield to His presence. If we search for more of him. If we thirst and hunger for more of him. We be able to find him. For his presence filled the room. The light of heavens came down and dwell among us. His presence was felt and he allowed me to fill it too. I don't know about you but when we look for him with all our heart, mind and soul, he will not disappoint us. For he will meet us there. I saw the old church, I went inside looking for Him and I found him. For he waited for me sitting by the window, overlooking the Mississippi River below. Our Lord and Saviour is calling. He is willing to meet with you at the most unexpected times. Don't allow distractions to move you. Don't allow what is taking place around us to rob us of having intimacy with the Lord. I am on vacation. I didn't have plans for an encounter, But The Lord gifted me with his peace, his presence, and his love. Ivette Diaz-Yee July 2023 Principia College Elsah, Illinois

Hopelessness

definition: having no expectation of good or success, despair, feeling hopeless and alone.

Suicide is selfish for only thinking of self, it focuses on the past. Highlights the mistakes made. The regrets. The what ifs of life. Compares ours now with others around us. It makes us think it’s the easy way out. It's the way we try to put an end to a life lived in agony, despair, shame, and guilt. It plays with our minds and makes them seem that is the only way. The pain we carry is so heavy, it has taken our will to live. We are tired of trying. Over and over we enter the hamster wheel to end up in the same place. How do we get here? We ask, over and over. We rationalize the lies we had believed. “It will be better without me, one less problem for the family. Life for them will be better if I am out of the way”. Those were the words I heard that night, as I looked into the mirror and I saw death looking right back at me. Whispering to take the blade and cut my veins. Shame had robbed me, addiction had me bound. I didn't have the strength. I had tried to stop many times. Moved away, but in reality, all I had done was changed my zip code. Little did I know, I was full of hurt, abandonment, and unforgiveness. That night I was saved by my daughter knocking down the door from the bathroom. I do remember taking the blade and going directly to my veins, but I don't remember anything else. To find out years later, The Lord had an angel holding my hand. I was selfish. I was just thinking of myself. I was hopeless. I was lost. This is the 1st time I share this deep personal experience hope it helps someone else. You are not alone. You have a community to help you just reach out. In your agony cry out for HELP to the one that could hear you and heal you. “In my distress, I called to the Lord, and He answered me. From the depths of my grave, I called for help and you listened to my cry”. Jonah 2:2 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Ivette 6/19/23

Place Call Home

I still remember the words my husband said as we drove around a late Sunday afternoon. “Do you trust God?” His tone was scary and firm, I knew something was going to happen and changed our lives for ever. I said “If He is allowed to happen, He would see us through”. Was what I said, holding my breath and expecting his answer. The landlord is selling the house. We have 30-60 days to moved out. I stood silence for what it seems a long time. For the last few months I had asked if he was going to take advantage of the market and sell his property.  We had been there for 12 years. No it was his answer, every time I asked. We had pushed ourselves to paid off my new car. Since I had been driving ugly Betty a 27 year old Oldsmobile. Which literally was breaking on me. We only had one month to paid it off. My husband had always wanted a Tacoma truck so before we make the purchase, once again I had gone to landlord and asked “are you selling” No you would be he 1st to know. We went and purchased (finance) his new truck. A month later right before Mother’s Day I was told by my husband that we had to moved out. I felt my whole world coming to and end, how we would do this? Do we have the savings to pull this through? Are we going to be able to find a house in  this market? So many questions. I felt numb. Frozen. I could feel fear, anxiety creeping in. As we prayed. We came with a plan. The following Tuesday at my ladies group I told them what it had taken place. To hear them giving me referrals,  connections. I also heard my own children’s telling us, you can’t pack and move in 30 days, you’re crazy if you think that is going to be possible. Get ready for be taken advantage,  the market is hot. Be ready for bidding war. You are going to over paid. The next day I had a medical appointment in which due to my level of anxiety my doctor recommended for me to see a psychiatrist and even putting me on medication. Which I refused. All I heard was Crazy. Every one was throwing that word at me. Little that they know. I had been fighting the system for 20 years. Due to my family lineage, mental illness run deep in my family. One uncle committed suicide and another aunt is under medication and even been in mental institutions. My sister and niece they both had mental breakdowns. So when I heard psychiatrist all I heard is you are crazy. As I came home or what had been our place for the last 12 years I heard in my heart the Lord saying “I have your home all you had to do is find it “ and yet at the same thing another voice whispering and laughing “yeah try to find a house in this market is like finding a needle in a haystack”. (The Lord speak to your heart the enemy whispers in your ear) I had to closed myself to everyone and everything around me. Working full time, trying to find a realtor every thing all happening at the same time. I felt like I was inside a tornado, all around me was spinning out off control. But God. He kept me under the wings of his protection. He send a pastor friend my way to hear me and to listen to my cry, my fears, my anxieties.  I walked out of her office. Ready to confront the storm. Next day I found a mortgage broker who put me in contact with a realtor. Few times during that week, I visited few homes, other times that an offer was taking place. One night after we finishing driving around looking a new listing, we made few changes on our “demands” (my husband) we not longer where looking for garage or 2nd bathroom. Once we let go of the wants the Lord provide for us the place we were to call home. As I am driving to see the house The Lord said “claim it for is yours” as I drove to the house I said that “this is it, do what ever you need to do to get it “ what happen if they increased the price ? Then it isn’t for me. Are you going to look around? “I don’t need to” I heard myself saying. For I know the Lord himself had picked the house for us. So far he has make a way for the landlord to give us 6k, something about he saving our percentage for the years we had lived at his place. That took place on Monday, Tuesday we had a phone call from our realtor, they had accepted our offer. The other buyers had pull back. By the Grace and mercy of God. The help from my core, we moved exactly 45 days later. The Lord provided for us. He said “it’s about time Ivette, this is the fruit of your faithfulness”. When we allowed God to work for us, we work less. In the economy that we are. We were able to purchase a house, at incredible price, get extra money so we could start our new life’s in our new home. We had consecrated to the Lord. My office had become the headquarters for my Intercesory prayers.  The Lord said  “Trust Me” and we had. We look at Gods economy not at world economy. The Lord provided for us and He would continue providing.  Thank you Lord for your faithfulness and your grace. Ivette Diaz-Yee June 23, 2021

Conviction (Finishing Strong)

Conviction A firmly held belief or opinion. Views Thoughts Strong beliefs ( Article) of faith It drive your behavior and actions in every decision involving right and wrong. Conviction would put a stop to a wrong doing if we allow conviction to guides us; it will become our personal internal warning sign, exposing danger, magnifying manipulation, deception and lies. As believers, convictions lives inside of us. for me Conviction is vital part of the Holy Spirit in me, living within me and tru me. It had changed me and help me to become the woman that I am today. It truly exposes the motive of the heart. It had stop me from making the wrong decisions or spoken the wrong word. In these days and hours that we live, we need to allow the conviction to be our compass, always directing us upward to the Father in Heaven. “But when he the spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth” John 16:13 S❤️BG 2022

Develop Your Sixth Sense

“Grow powerful in union with The Lord, in union with his mighty strength “ Eph 6:10 The other day as I was walking into work. I notice a nickel and a penny on the floor. I tend to always pick up the pennies because they say “In God we trust”.Today I picked up the six cents and placed them in my pocket. Usually, I just dropped them inside my work desk drawer in case I need change for the vending machine. For some odd reason, I didn’t do that this time. I forgot about the change in my pocket until I arrived home later that night. As I sat in front of my vanity taking off my jewelry, I notice the change in my pocket. I held it in the palm of my hand. And said “Six cents” Six cents I repeated. This time it sounded different, Sixth sense. Shivers ran down my arms. I know what was coming next. “Develop your Sixth sense” It took me by surprise. I knew what He was talking about. But I didn’t know what to do with it. Doubt came in, and fear and double-minded thoughts came in too. I understood why I received this revelation. I knew I had to do something with it but at the time I didn’t know what. I know God was telling me something. I needed to find out what he was trying to tell me. So I could get to the bottom of it. I had received the word. Now it was up to me to process, simmer and figure out what I have received. I recognize we are living in dangerous perils days. The 6th Sense God was talking about, has to do with our spiritual self. It has to do with discernment of the spirit, alertness, and the ability to recognize the tricks the enemy brings our way. Able to recognize it from a distance. It has to do with the knowledge to know the word of God so no one can deceive you with their beliefs and interpretations. Being able to see behind the mask and listening to what's not being said. It’s being able to see through what is fake and counterfeit. Able to see the real problem behind the hurt, disappointment, and fears. Developing our sixth sense would keep us accountable and ready for when He calls on us. The 6th sense is essential for the battle we are facing today. “For we are not struggling against a human being, but against the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers governing this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm”. Eph 6:12, (The Complete Jewish study bible). We need to wake up! The weapons of our warfare are mighty and unto God to bring down strongholds. Even when you walk through the fires you won’t be burned and the waters of affliction won’t sweep you away. He will raise you with wings like an eagle. Times are changing and they are changing fast, look around you...tell me what you see? These are difficult times. God is calling us to a new level in Him. Not as individuals but as the body of Christ. United in unity by the blood of Christ. As one body, God is training us to distinguish good from evil. He is opening our eyes to the realm of the spirit. The enemy is after our souls. We ought to regain what he has stolen from us. The Lord is developing in us a new sense that has nothing to do with the natural senses and everything to do with them at the same time. Your senses are more defined and alert. He has awakened our senses to the supernatural. We have a divine authority given to us by God himself. Because greater is He who is in you than him that lives in the world. We have the revelation of the present times, we know and have learned from our past. Today is the tomorrow we prayed for yesterday. This is what developing our sixth sense is. To know what God has bestowed on us with His Divine Authority and that we carry inside the Resurrection Power. We no longer live but Christ lives within us. So my dear sisters let go and let God. Praying for you all. May 2018 S♥️BG

The Empty Seat

As I prayed over our beloved church. I star to remember where people used to sit. Once we get familiar we tent to claim a sit as our own. I myself I try not to sit in the same place, I tent to change it up, since it gives me a better chance to meet new people. Or get lost within, going unnoticed. But this morning as I ponder about the missing brothers and sisters. My hearts aches for the freinds and family that are gone. Would I see them again? As I pour out myself to the Lord. Writing how I feel. Alone and lonely. Many feelings running through me. I stared to think off few months ago as I am greeting people as the walk in. My eyes capture this mother battling health issues. Trying to walk through with her walker on hand. Her little daughter walking right beside her. This isolation has taken a toll in this little girl. Hair unkept, dirty long sweater. She is waking right between us and yet no one sees her. I try to talk to her, lower myself to her level looking directly at her eyes. She hides from me. And I said , why are you hiding from me sweetheart. No response. We need to keep the line going I was told. Did anybody sees her? As I remember that situation I started to pour out myself to the Lord. No words because I don’t know what to said. I sat in silence. Then I heard this within my souls. “How do you feels seeing all those empty seat, where faithful servants once’s sat?” Today I am looking for the familiar faces, those that help me through when everyone else left me alone. I don’t see them. Where are they? Are they coming back? How are they doing ? Did some one reach out to them? So as I walked into church this morning, with anticipation to see what the Lord has for me. I am walking with expectancy in my heart. Only in His presence I am able to see clear. Hear clear and understand what is taking place. My hear is heavy. I don’t want to think. All I want is to get lost within His presence. I want to run to the altar and lay at His feet. But I can’t. I don’t even know if it would be allowed. So there next to rows off empty chairs behind me I knell and allow myself to be touch in my most delicate areas. I am mourning I and lamenting. I am broken. How does it feel? I don’t have words to express them. The Lord said to learn the language of my heart ❤️. So here I sit. Away from every one. Listening to worship knowing that I had to press thru. The Lord has not release me yet. As I sit in service I noticed a little girl, enjoying the worship, eyes closed hands raised up. She can’t be more than 3 years old and here she stand. A road of chairs between us. Sumerge in his presence. I hear the words in my heart “come to me with the child like faith“. Deep deep inside my soul the Lord allows me to see my wrong motives, wrong expectation not wiling to received. A lot of my familiar faces are gone. Someone else sitting in their chairs. Are they been missing? Did someone reach out to them? Where are they? Would I see them again? Those are the questions I ask myself and I asked God. I may never get an answer. All I know it’s that today as I sit in the back of the church, waiting and watching. I have not been released yet. Like it or not I need to stay here. Lord I repent for my unwillingness to let go, trying to change things and allowing my EGO to take over. Forgive me Lord. Received me once again and allow me to see what you want me to see. Guard my heart. Channel my emotions and lead me. In Jesus name. Amen Ivette Diaz-Yee S♥BG February 21

Worship

 Worship

“It's not a song but a lifestyles”

 

It hasn’t been easy to write this devotion today. When the Lord gave this word as part of my victory words for the year, I thought He must be joking, specially after the week that I had. 

It make me realize we are in spiritual warfare , but God has prepare us for what we are going thru and experiencing today. 

As I look at the word again I see it different ; for I see WAR-SHIP 

Today we are inside the warship, ready, prepare and  trained for battle. As we lift up our anchor of faith, we allowed God to move us, where he wants us to go. It may look similar and familiar, but don’t be taken by surprise, we are going towards something new. 

So as the children’s off Israel did every time they went in to battle, prepare yourself, find your battle cry and move forward worshiping the Lord of Lord and the king of kings.  

Worship is not a song but a way of live. It’s part off your every day. Worship can push your destiny, and cleanse you of your past. Worship also brings healing to the soul and breaks generational curse. So today worship God with everything you had. 

Psalms 34:8

“Taste and see that the Lord is good” 

❤️ By God

 Sisters ❤️By God 

Was birth a few years ago. I posted my 1st article, on Facebook in 2018.

  It's a place where I had learned and continued learning, and in order to grow spirituality; I had to share what I received. My revelations may be the stepping stone someone may need to catapult it forward. 

English is not my 1st language; it may take me longer to share and express myself. But how I am going to share our story? How the message can be shared? 

By taking the 1 step. I am nervous. I am scared, but I will do it anyway. For too long, I had this idea to create a blog and I had let, fear and insecurities hold me back. Today The Lord had given me a platform in which I will stand and proclaim the wonders that He had done in my life, and family.  Believe me, I had tried to run away, procrastinate, and derail to do another project, to end up always writing my experiences. But if I don't bring it out. They will be words written on the page, taking room and collecting dust. 

Every word is an experience, a season and a trajectory on my faith walk. It has shaped me into the person that I am today. 

So relax and enjoy, God is not done with you. He did it for me, He would do it for you too. 

“I am to help my sister until the Lord gives them rest, as He has done for me, and until they too have taken possession of the land The Lord your God is given them” Joshua 1:14

Embriagada

 Embriagada 

I came into this concert with the expectation to meet God.  A place where I could let my guard down and worship the Lord without bars or holding back. 

We sat a few rows from the stage. I didn’t want to be distracted by friends I saw there. I have been cautious of myself. Me myself and God. 

A situation with my daughter is affecting me because I am not able to see her.  But I feel her pain, her anger, and her disappointments.  She is like a flower dying in front of me and I am not able to do anything in the natural world.  I had decided not to talk to her not because I didn’t want to but because I am trusting God for her and her family. 

Tonight is all about me and the worship.  I love #mercyme.  For the last 20 years, their music has been my refuge and strength. The Lord used their music to bring solace, peace, and hope to my soul.  Tonight, I won’t be disappointed. 

As the worship continues I started to feel dizzy.  I am drinking some water thinking I may be dehydrated I continue the worship.  I feel hot and sweaty, I continue on, I came to meet Jesus here today. 

The concert is almost finished, and the dizziness continues. How am I to drive home? So I asked the Lord, what is this?  I feel drunk,  I heard people getting drunk in the Spirit, and to my imagination comes pictures of myself being drunk and acting stupid. I don’t like that word. Give me another word Lord, trying to find another word I said the word in Spanish Borracha, the same happened this time, I had a picture of my uncles and family all being drunk and acting stupid. Still don’t like that word. 

I am asking the Lord to help me, I still had to drive home. To all this my husband doesn’t know anything yet as we made it home, I needed to find out another word, and a Spanish song came to mind,  the word Embriagada surfaced in my spirit. 

I looked up the word to find out the meaning 

• losing yourself 
• Drinking too much off
• Captivated
• Fascinated 
• Ecstatic. 

I like what I am reading, yes for the 1st time in my life I was able to let myself go. Lose myself completely by drinking too much of His presence. I was captivated by His presence.  I came thirsty and He filled me up by bringing me under and pulling me out, then I found a song “sumerge en tu presencia “ which I had been playing for weeks now.  

When we come to God with expectancies in our hearts, He will meet us there. 

This concert will forever be in my memories for I came thirsty and the Lord gave me the living waters to drink.

My Prayer Shawl

“Bring forth your prayer shawls” this morning as I came to sit, He spoke those words into my heart. 

I have this beautiful prayer shawl that a friend brought me from Jerusalem.  I have had it for a few years already.  Hanging in the office, it stays as an ornament. It pleasing to the eyes. 

Today is the 1st time I am able to really bring it out, I wrapped myself with it and allowed myself to learn the true meaning behind it.  Little do I know that it has a name. It’s called a “Tallit” used by the Jews rabbi or Jewish man.  I started my quest in google. I found few people and how they gave me their own interpretation.   Marilyn Hichey calls it a “super natural mantel with the White and blue representing the Holy Spirit present with us and the purity of God”.  Okay,  I accept that. 

Google to the rescue one more time. I looked up the high priest garments. (Which to me it’s a representation of our armor of God.  Ephesians 6:13- The Turban = the helmet of Salvation, shoulder piece=the breastplate of righteousness, Sash= Belt of truth , but that’s for another study, )

I must continue, with the help of my favorite gal "google" trying to find something else. I’m missing something but I don’t know what it is.  Then I found  these guy from “Happy Tabernacle and He explained it as a tool that God has given us; a closet: being covered by a prayer closet, enhancing our prayer life, speaking to God without distractions “ This guy gave a scripture. I like Him ..!!!! people could deny you but not the word of God. 

Numbers 15:38... “throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corner of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel. (V.39) You  will have these tassels to look at and so you will remember all the commands of the lord , that you may obey them and not prostitute yourself by going after the lust of your own hearts and eyes.  (V.40) Then you will remember to obey all my commands and will be consecrated to your God “ Okay, something about 4 grabs my attention, but I need something else. 

I’m praying looking all around.  A few hours have passed,  I call my Jewish friend (since I trust her) to help me, but no, she is busy. I know God is working something in me. 

I’m a little apprehensive, I don’t trust everyone or everything, it comes from the spiritual abuse I suffered which The Lord is using this quest for me to heal.  Like pastor Bob said “I want to be a Voice not an Echo” 

Finally I find this teaching on “The Tallit”  by Dr.Terry Harmon.  There is something about this guy I like. You guys have to watch and listen to how He explains and brings forth scripture after scripture. Again, He brings me back to Numbers 15:37-41 

Listen to him back and forth taking notes. Asking God for my personal revelation. I’m done. I could feel his presence all around me. I’m praying   And ask for forgiveness for what had held me back from to many people. Trust, I need to trust again.  Not everyone is the same.  I’m asking The Lord to removed from deep inside the seed of miss trust and to heal that area in my life.  And that's when it happened.  The Lord reminded me of the 4 corners of The Tallit and a scripture “ I have longed to gather you together as a hen gather her chicks under her wing” this scripture is found on  Matthew 23:37 and is The Lord Jesus Christ crying over us. 

He spoke to my heart about the fourth corners on the Tallit.  I held on to them and continued to pray. I don’t know what was coming out, because I have learn to let him lead me on my spiritual language, I don’t know how long I kneel in His presence.   He spoke to me about the 4 corners of the world, (Isaiah 11:12)from North to South from East to West. Four representing creation and world. 

He allowed me to see how this Coronavirus Covid 19 has brought us together.  Today this scripture has been fulfilled in our own eyes, The Lord himself gathers us under His wings.  We find refuge in the shadows of His wings (Ps 36:7

I’m undone, I no longer live but Christ lives in me. 

I finished my time  with The Lord with communion; together, alone, special and powerful. 

The Lord met me on our 1st 5 days of prayer, fasting and communion. I can’t wait to see what he would have for us tomorrow. 

 “Open your mouth and I will filled it” Ps. 81:10

Redesign Your Armor

 

Re-redo

ReDesign- design again or in a different way. 

God has given us a full armor which we find in Ephesians 6:13-18.  We all are very familiar with this scripture but do we really know how to use them.??? 

I’m always asking the Lord, why was fashion the way it was?  His answer blows my mind. “It was fashionable for those times and what was available and familiar for those that were living in those times.  Times and places.”

I took upon myself to learn and study a little more about the armor of God. I was told I need to go back to the drawing board.  To really understand the meaning of each piece and to know what was given to us.  The first words I came across PUT ON.  An action is required, take action.  Spiritually we need to put it on.  There were times when instead of putting on I was dragging it along. Forgetting it or leaving it behind. 

What I’m going to write is what I have learned about Puttying on The Full Armor of God.  

Take every word and give action to each and one of them.  Visualize what your doing. Recognize the battle you would be confronting.  Make sure you bring the right equipment to the battle ahead.

Again I asked the Lord, “Why it is that all these people are praying and honestly interceding ,but they don’t get the results they expecting? “Because they go to battle with the wrong equipment". 

What!!!! Explain it,  Lord make it simple for me I asked.  “We have a 5 alarm fire going on...the whole building is in flames, the help you are expecting is coming in, running in to the fire we see a whole group of doctors, nurses, medical technician, all running in fully equipped and trained to the work, but at the wrong place and that is what is taking place nowadays.  We are going around fighting this battles with the wrong equipment. 

Now take your time and let’s do this together.  Let us learn how to utilize the tools and the armory that was presented to us.

1st The Helmet 

        Protects your head. Your mind which is the battlefield of the mind. Where your thoughts 1st take place. Covers your ears and depending on the battle shields your eyes with the protective shield.  Ask God to open your eyes to see things for what they really are and to hear the unspoken cry. 

2nd Breastplate

          Guards your heart. The heart could be very deceitful down wicked and only God could comprehend and only God knows the motives of it. 

3rd Belt of Truth

          It is your stabilizer, holds you straight and firm, able to understand and recognize the truth that comes from the world of God.  Don’t let anyone fool you with empty words.

4th Feet Ready 

         With the readiness that comes from the gospel of truth the ability to change them depending on the battle and the terrain you are walking in.  Boots on the ground, running shoes,  stilettos to sandals, let His light show you the way. 

5th Shield of Faith 

         Not just to protect you from the many arrows the enemy is going to send your way but also as a shield as we walk to help our brother or sister in need,  able to protect and shield them until they too recover their strength. 

6th Take your Sword 

       Which is the word of God. Planted in your heart so we won’t sin against him. Able to penetrate even the deepest marrows of the heart. I have also added a dagger for those times when we know we are encountering a closed encounter,  when it becomes closed and personal. 

God wants us fully equipped and fully trained. 

Every single morning before I leave my house I read and readjust my armor.  Many times I do a check up on it because I know fully well the enemy is watching and waiting for the right opportunity to come in.  He does not need a door but a crack.  Inspection is required at all times. 

Be blessed my sisters and if you feel this help you feel free to share.

Let God Be Your Compass

 Let God Be Your Compass

Isaiah 30:21

“ whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, this is the way; walk in it “ 

 

COMPASS- an instrument containing a magnetized pointer which shows the direction of a magnetic north. 

Today, as I sit and ponder at what’s going on around me I get to see glimpses of a storm raging around us.  It has lasted so long, everything is dark. Fog has blinded our vision. The winds of incentives pushes us towards the wall.  Loosing grasp and footing I try to move forward but I can’t. I feel my body giving up; I am getting tired, I feel my body losing hope. 

I don’t have the strength I need to move forward, but I also know I can’t stay stock where I am. 

I hear many voices, every one has a voice, something to say, something to add. Distractions have moved us away from our path and yet in the mist of the storm I hear a voice  telling me what to do. It comes from deep inside my souls. Letting me know that I have the tools needed. 

“Find your compass” I reach inside and there it is, for a short time I had forgotten. I had gotten used to carrying around knowing what I am going. 

But as darkness covers the earth, I need to keep my eyes closer to the compass.  Today I know that God is my compass. “For when you go thru the waters they would not swipe you away, when you go thru the fires you won’t get burn for the Lord himself goes with you “ (Isaiah 43) 

He would always point North and West we stand and raise our eyes upward he is there to lead us. 

“Your ears would hear a voice”, means that He is closed at hand. In order to hear closer to your ear means that we are very close in contact so close that He whispers “this is the way; walk in it.” and yet the noises of the world. The distractions. The ups and downs and disappointments don’t allow us to  find the way. 

Today as I sit here looking at the word around me I am confident to know God is my compass. No matter what’s taking place around me. I serve a God that doesn’t lie. (Numbers) and I have learn to take him at His word. (Matthew)

No matter how difficult it gets out there. You where raised for this times. (Esther) if you are reading this post you are part of the remnants. (Ezra) 

Hold on to your compass and don’t let go. The times is near. The time is now. 

Love you all, don’t loose grasp of what you have accomplished, and where you stand today.

Help Her With Her Laundry

 Help Her with Her Laundry 

Because we know what the word  means, we know the One who breathes the word onto existence. The devil knows the word and he uses it against us.  He brings part of it for his benefit. Partial hearing or selective hearing. People want to hear what they want, what’s convenience.

We are so caught up in ourselves , That is difficult to see clear; our vision of truths is fog with our own perceptions to even hear correctly. The  enemy enhances what he wants us to concentrate on. He twists our motives and uses our own emotions against us.  

 But God Patiently  helps us, directing us and waiting for our yes;  Allowing our self to self medicate and self diagnose what we may think we have. Trying to make sense where there is not sense, because they are undiscerned.  

Without getting deep in to the root of the problem, we dance around the issues we carry and made us who we are today. We make excuses for our behavior and personality, unwilling to see because it’s to  painful or subconsciously we have forgotten about it. In the midst of all we go  through life shifting blame.  Unable to look deep inside self. 

But God in his merciful love for us, he doesn’t leave us there. Alone and raw. He brings his word to us. He brings unqualified people to hold you up prayer. 

As we allowed him and give him permission ( the lord won’t push himself towards us) he starts going deep in self and show us glimpse of areas that need to be addressed, work on and face on. 

Maturity is a long time process and we are all in a process.  God is always ready for us.  So we could grow in the grace and knowledge of Him ( 2 Peter 3:18) 

People want to hear the good things over the real thing. They want to hear what tickle their ears.  

Don’t allow people to change who you are. Only God has that power to bring forth the change need it in you.  We can’t change them or make their walk easy. Short cuts are always the long way around. 

God didn’t create you to fit in but to stand out. People is not going to like what I have to said. But I know I would be standing in front of God to give an account for every word spoken , written or text. I’m not here to please man but to please God who knows the heart man.
