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

Uncharted (non-mapped)

“If you let me I would take you through uncharted territory”spoke the Lord into my heart as I’m walking near the waters. You may have to walk through uneven paths, and at times you may have to make your own way, and just because it may look familiar, doesn’t mean you know where you are going. I may take you through familiar places. It's easier for you to recognize the areas, since you had been there before; the time has come for you to help others to find their way out, just as you did. It's not going to be easy for fears, insecurities, and doubt will come around to discourage you to stop you, and at the same time to derail you; but remember this “I am the one who called you, the mighty one of Israel. I go ahead of you, I had prepared the way. I am your guardian, your guidance, and your strength; I have you. The Lord himself holds you in his hands. You had been trained in the fires of afflictions. Sorrows and disappointments had been your companion. Doubt of the unknown had tried to clog your vision. You had learn how to recognize the counterfeit from the real one, because I the Lord your God had personality trained you. So my child doesn’t be afraid for I am with you I would protect you and guide you always. You would hear my voice behind you saying this is the way to follow. When the enemy whispers in your ear I speak to your heart. Everything you need is inside of you. So take your position, stand firm and you would see the deliverance of the Lord. All I ask is for your willingness and your yes. I would never leave you nor never forsake you. I am with you until the end of the day. I had raised you for times such as this. There is no the mistake you are here today. So take heart, my sister for the best is yet to come. Ivette Diaz-Yee 2021

My Walk To Gethsemane

My Walk  to Gethsemane

Lent : 

The period of 40 days which comes before Easter, beginning on Ash Wednesday.  It's a season of reflection and preparation before the celebration.  Preparation before something is going to happen. 

The place where Jesus came face to face with his human self.  “If it is possible to remove this cup from me”.  Where He confronted not just His human aspect but the enemy himself. 

My walk to my Gethsemane would help me to learn to feed on the world of God.  Every day I learn something new about myself.  Where I’m learning to acknowledge my faults and short comings.  Its where I identify my sins and I wrestle with my emotions and where I’m learning to bring them under control.  It's the place where I honor my savior with all that is in me. My Spirit, mind and soul. It's where I’m able to unmask my fears.  The place where I’m learning to stand in Him. Possessing the Land in front of me. Its where I’m not just getting to the root of the problem but where in getting to the seed. Where everything originated. It's the place where I give the Lord control over my expectations.  Where I’m getting deeper because I’m willing to dig deeper in self, a place where I recognize discouragement and the place I’m learning to believe in myself and the word with is in me. 

These are a few of my notes since I asked the Lord what He wanted for me to do for the next 40 days. 

2/26-until today 

A little inside in to my word. 

Enjoy the reading, sorry for me miss spelling..

Love 💕

Hello 

  For the last few years maybe 3 years I have been fasting and praying for 40 days.  Staring on 2/26 until Easter Sunday. God has me praying first for me to be able to see me through his eyes; my faults, my short coming , fears and insecurity. The enemy will use those against us, specially during these trail times. 

Crossing Over

 Crossing Over 

A few weeks ago the Lord gave a word out of Joshua 3.  As I listen to the word playing around me I feel something jump inside off me. I remember the word He gave me a few years ago, as I prepare myself to go on a mission trip (2009) “consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you” v.5. I remember the word He spoke to my heart and today He is bringing the word back to my heart, but in a different way.  “You would know which way to go, since you have never been this way before.” v4  

The Lord was instructing Joshua in want to do next. He in return was telling the priest what was required of them to do: And the officers went around camp given orders to the people. The priest went ahead of them, until the reach the edge of the river, and their feet touched the waters edge. The water from upstream stopped flowing and the water flowing down was completely cut off” 

As soon as the priest step in, the waters stopped flowing and they stood in dry ground. I could see the ragging waters all around us.  The many voices calling out for your attention. The unrest of people. The division.  The anger, the insecurity and all the distractions, confusion, insecurities, fears,pain. God is telling me to step out into the ragging waters around me. To trust him with my whole heart and to move forward.   My heart is aches for everything that is taking place around me.

As I sit a church during Good Friday, I rushed on from work so I could attend a service. The worship team is playing, people all around me are talking with the music and the sounds. Some are praying, others are enjoying the service and some of us are interceding for the church body.  I see one of the young adults and I am able to see God is doing something in them , not just Elizabeth but all of them. The Lord once again brings the word He gave me days prior. I had come to understand that the word he speak to my heart is not for me but to this he wants me to share.  He had me walk to one of the girls. I didn’t want to bother her, she is prostrate in from of God. I don’t want to bother or break the intimate moments she is having with the Lord. I am fighting with my self. until I can’t any longer and I allowed my self to go and lay hands on her and prayed over her. God is raising this young girls to be able to step over the raging waters of society, to take that step in to and to trust Him with their tomorrow. Where they going as a whole not just one of two but all 3. They had to come against what is trying to bring the down, stop them or silence they voices. The have a complete generation to reach. 

It has taken me a long while to write this because I want to come out of my way.  I don’t want to be just words type in a letter. I take very seriously the words the Lord speaks to my heart. So as I hold on pray and make sure The Lord is the one leading me, not me or what I think I should or said, once again I see this beautiful girls and this time as I prayed I see a glass bottle full of lighting bugs. They all flying around the big glass bottle, going up to the top, just to have a lid on it. 

Last night during our intercessory prayer as we sat down and prayed over our young the Lord brought to mind everything he has been speaking to my heart. I pray that this would help you. He has me praying for few of them.  God is speaking to our church and He is raising a new wine, new spirit within our wall. I believed is up to us:  mature leaders to protect them, guide them and lead them in the way of the Lord. As it as said last night “Discipleship” is needed.   Spirituals Mothers, fathers  and sisters are needed to help generation to move ahead. 

Have a bless day
