Unchatter Territory

 Non-Mapped or Surveyed. 

“If you let Me, I will take you through uncharted territory,” spoke the Lord into my heart as I walked near the waters.

You may have to walk through uneven paths, and at times, you may have to make your own way. Just because it looks familiar doesn’t mean you know where you’re going.

I may take you through familiar places—it’s easier for you to recognize the areas since you’ve been there before. But now, the time has come for you to help others find their way out, just as you did.

It’s not going to be easy—for fears, insecurities, and doubts will try to discourage you, to stop you, and to derail you.

But remember this:

“I am the One who called you, the Mighty One of Israel. I go ahead of you; I have prepared the way. I am your guardian, your guide, and your strength. I’ve got you”.

The Lord Himself holds you in His hands.You have been trained in the fires of affliction. Sorrows and disappointments have been your companions.The fear of the unknown tried to cloud your vision.You have learned how to recognize the counterfeit from the real—because I, the Lord your God, have personally trained you.

So, My child, don’t be afraid, for I am with you. I will protect you and guide you always. You will hear My voice behind you, saying, “This is the way—walk in it.”

When the enemy whispers in your ear, I will speak to your heart. Everything you need is already inside of you. So take your position, stand firm, and you will see the deliverance of the Lord.

All I ask is for your willingness and your “yes.”I will never leave you nor forsake you. I am with you until the end of the day. I have raised you for such a time as this. It is no mistake that you are here today.

Take heart, my sister—for the best is yet to come.

Reinforcement.

 Even Angels Need Reinforcement

Last night, I was awakened by a presence in my room. As I looked up, I saw a large, warrior-like man standing at the foot of my bed, gazing down at me as if studying me. When he noticed that I had seen him, he stepped back into the shadows. I felt no fear and soon drifted back to sleep.

What surprised me most was that I felt no fear. I asked the Lord, “What was that all about?”

He replied, “Even angels need reinforcement.”

As our conversation continued, I was reminded that during prayer, I had commanded the angels to go and protect what was mine—my daughter, my son, my family—claiming and testifying Isaiah 59:21” my spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth or the mouth of your children, or from the mouth of their descendants from this time on and forever”, says the Lord. 

The angel came, inquiring and intrigued to see, “Who is this mortal woman who dared to summon the heavenly host and called out for protection?”

So believe me, friends: God has assigned angels to watch over us at all times. I call them my Triple-A Angels—Angels All Around. They are at our disposal, ready to assist us in all that we need.

My angel Geloahs, needed help and called upon the big guy to come assist us. I call him Thunder because I know he moves swiftly and comes to my aid in times of need.

Do not take what I’m saying lightly, for it is written, “He has given His angels charge over you.” The time is now to put them to work. The angels are waiting for our request.

Thank you, Lord.

The Compass

Isaiah 30:21

“Whether you turn to the right or 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 that 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 push us towards the wall. Losing grasp and footing I try to move forward. But I can’t. I feel my body giving up; I am getting tired, and 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 stocked where I am. 

I hear many voices. Everyone has a voice, something to say, something to add. Distractions have moved us away from our path. 

And yet amid the storm, I hear a voice telling me what to do. It comes from deep inside my soul. 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 was doing. Everything looks so familiar. 

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 went 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. To hear closer to your ear means that we are very close in contact. So closed 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 world around me I am confident to know God is my compass. No matter what’s taking place around me. I served a God who doesn’t lie. (Numbers) and I had learned to take him at His word. (Matthew)

No matter how difficult get out there. You were raised for this time. (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 time is near. The time is now. 

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

No More Labels

 

Psalm 103:17

“From everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him.”

Today at the shelters was another miracle—being able to see and experience the love of God in action. That is something that always touches me; it never gets old.

God is waiting on our obedience and our willingness to bless someone else. Together, we accomplish more when we give from the little that we have.

Today, we touched on a very delicate topic: labels—the names they used to call us. Each one of the ladies received a little “Hello, my name is” sticker. They were asked to write what people used to call them.

I started with myself. I shared my list—the names I was once called:

Crazy. Good-for-nothing. Black sheep of the family.

You’ll never amount to anything.

You’re worthless.

You’re ugly.

You’re stupid.

A liar—just like your father.

I spoke from experience, from everything I’ve gone through and continue to go through. I’m still learning, and I’m in the same boat as they are. We’re all learning. It’s a journey, and we’re all still in the process of sanctification. None of us have arrived yet.

I once heard someone say, “The ground is level at the cross.”

Today was special. The women wrote the labels—the painful things they’d been called throughout life. Then we brought out little hearts, stars, and smiley face stickers. We began covering the labels that had come from family, friends, and husbands.

One of the girls wanted to read her label list aloud—and she did. As she spoke, the shame and guilt began to wash away. The Bible says we are overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. It was amazing to see this young woman speak from the heart the words that had once defined her.

She had been labeled:

Addict.

Slow.

Stupid.

Dumb.

Prostitute.

Crackhead.

Many more names were spoken.

By the time we were done, all the labels were covered with hearts, stars, and smiley faces.

Only God can do what He does.

We prayed with them and reminded them how to see themselves the way God sees them:

Loved.

Beautiful.

Blessed.

Gifted.

Unique.

Powerful.

Enough.

So many positive affirmations are found in the Word of God—when we give ourselves away.

You are not what they used to call you.

Find out who you are in Christ.

Only God can change us.

The Altar of Sacrifice

Here I kneel oh Lord. I don't have riches, don't have much to offer you but from what I have I bring forth my offering. 

Let your purifying fire burn the excess of self-reliance, self-absorption. 

Trying to help you instead of waiting for you.  

Let me not light up the fire, but let your fire consume the altar of my heart. Teach me how to present myself as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing unto you. Becoming the billboard that shows forth the glory of God through me. A carrier of your glory. 

Breaking down the old self-altar and rebuilding all new, with you at the center of all. 

Here I am Lord once again. Purified my heart, my thoughts, my motives my actions, and my reactions. Help me to stay true to you. Don't allow distractions to move me away. 

 In Jesus' name, I pray, amen.

Becoming a Champion

 Take control of your mind. 

Morning routine, sleep, diet, exercise (my secret place, prayer ) 

Don’t let challenges stop you, derail you, or distract you. The enemy will be distracted so that he can not be destroyed! 

Resilience -move forward, reach out, make a plan, don’t give up, believe in yourself, and figure out a way,  find out how to get there. 

1-Self belief- believe in yourself, and what you carry within you. Own it, it’s you. There is only one of you. Your uniqueness sets you apart. 

2-Mental attitude to believe what they say to you. Find the something and the somehow and the how-to, go for it. No excuses. No delays

3-Resources: passion, stick to it, whatever it takes, motivation, inspiration. See yourself where you want to be. When it feels like it's getting too hard to do it, rest up and look how far you have come. 

4-Meditate (pray about it)

Focus- laser focus (vision board), put yourself in it. (Action board) inspire actions. People, places, and circumstances would come (for the Lord himself would bring them to you. I would carry the signet ring. 

Creative and innovative. Innovate yourself. What else can you do to improve yourself? Invest in you. Prioritize your time, treasures, and resources. 

Relentless- never stop, don't quit. Be purposeful. Be your secret recipe for your success. Work with a team. Sell the concept. Prove the enemy wrong.  Be willing. Be ready. Become unstoppable. Reach your full potential.  Don’t strive in fear. It would stop you, and it would kill your purpose.  

Take control of your life, don’t let life control you. 

 Go after it with all you have.  

You were created for today. You've got everything you need to create the best version of you. The times now, everything you need is inside of you. 

Love 💕

Coffee Break

Coffee in solitude, yet never truly alone. Moments of reflection, where God’s gifts are shown. In a busy room of gentle smiles and soft, whispered air,eyes meet mine with kindness, in a quiet, sacred prayer. They see the joy of the Lord in every gleam, a radiant reflection of a divine, that is God in me. When the clatter of the world may try to steal my peace,In silent and communion, my soul finds its peace. For in every sip, and in every silent glance, God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus lead my heart to rest and in Hid gentle arms I find my peace. Alone in body but never in spirit, I embrace the moment with His precence and glory. I savor the quiet moments, touched by heavenly grace. I give my time to Jesus and my coffee in solitude is a gift I treasure. Ruth Guzman ( Guadalupe) 3/26/25

Take Off Your Sandals

“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” Exodus 3:5 In the early hours of the morning, I had a dream in which I had a phone call from my pastor. He was telling me something. I woke up and went to look for two scriptures, Joshua 5:15 and Exodus 3. The Lord spoke to my heart to make a list of the “things” that I had to take off to come to the mountain of The Lord and see what was about to take place. As I prayed, I asked the Lord to show me what I needed to take off. 

Those areas in me that no one sees. Traces of past hurts, insecurities, and fear. I had to take off Frustrations, Comparison (had the tendency to look down at myself),  Miss trust (when I look, and in natural it seems impossible). Insecurity (looking at what I lack), Fears (finances, health issues),  Greed (commission sales, why them and not me?) Jealousy (they don’t need the sale, I do). They are the residue of past behavior. 

Thoughts that had come into my mind, feelings, and emotions that I had to deal with. Take them off me. I know there is more, but I was running out to be at church on time to help with the setup. I couldn’t wait to come and see, and pray with the team!!! I could feel the excitement and expectancy inside of me. We had worked so hard and sacrificed so much. We had plowed the soil together. Tears and prayers, prayers and tears. 

 It doesn’t take long once we allow God to show us our hearts and our motives. As I am talking to some ladies, they asked some questions and I heard myself talking. I recognize the undertone, the way it came out, it was there. Sarcasm. Another one that had to go!!! How can I expect to lead the team into the fires of the Lord, and yet I carry the residue of old behavior and patterns within me? I acknowledge the wrong in me. I shared with the team. 

I ask for forgiveness and for the Lord to help me remove all traces. As we did, we got to see the glory of the Lord fall out in all of us. This is holy ground. The city on the hill. The light shines bright for all to see. In this place, many people will change, transform, heal, and make whole. But it starts with me. 

 As we moved to get the table ready for the giveaway that morning, I got to see the scripture: Joshua 5:15 “Take off your sandals for the place where you are standing is holy”. I laughed and I cried (I always do) all at the same time, and I thanked God for confirming my dream. As we get ready to receive the people who will be attending our service, we laugh and wonder at how God was bringing some many confirmations through many different people; “if you build it, they will come,” someone said. To hear someone else say, “This is the 1st time I'll be throwing dirt at people in a good way,” As I walked around, welcoming people,

Thanking them for coming. I found myself crying again. Out of gratitude, for His faithfulness towards us, our pastor's heart, dedication and sacrifice for us. They didn't have to come to the Northeast but they did, and for that, we will be always grateful. 

 Thank you, Lord. 🔥🙏🔨⚔️🥷

Abundance

Abundance Biblical meaning; signifies a deep sense of fullness, gratitude, and richness in all aspects of life, going beyond material possessions and focusing on inner peace, love, joy, and appreciation for the blessings in one's life, regardless of external circumstances. God has been faithful. His faithfulness had brought us here. We stand in awe to see and experience His hand in our lives. As we enter this New Year, our dependency comes from The Lord. He alone is worthy of all our praise. Thank you, Lord, for choosing us. For trusting us. Help us to stay true to the call and the journey. Let us not be distracted by what goes around us. Let us hold on tight to you. We are not going back we are moving forward. Last year was a year of exposure, raw honesty, stretching to the max, a year of thriving, and perseverance which brought us here. 2025 will be the year of abundance in life (John 10:10), in good works (2 Cor 9:8)greater wisdom, deeper understanding, and deeper knowledge are coming our way. It may not be reflected in the natural, now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. (Heb 11:1) We are learning to find solace in God (comfort or calm that comes from within, from trusting in him and finding refuge in the scriptures). Let this new year become a year of experiencing the abundance of life that God has for every one of us. Ivette Diaz-Yee 12/11/24

Tag Along

Lord, guide us as we journey into a new season. Help us to discern those You’ve placed in our lives and give us clarity to see with open eyes, hear with open hearts, and walk with steady steps. Sometimes, I see more than I’m prepared for. I see the motives behind the action, fears, and insecurities. I recognize how the flesh can take over, even in my own walk. But it’s time to move forward in faith, leaving behind the old. We can’t live on yesterday’s manna or pour new wine into old wineskins. You’re calling us higher, for greater things. Preparing us to go to higher ground.

As Hinds' feet* Lord, let me not be distracted by the busyness of life, but instead focus on the lessons You want me to learn. Help me to look inward, examine my own heart, and check my motives. Am I pursuing my own interests? Reveal the truth, Lord. I don’t want to go anywhere you haven’t prepared me for, or go where your anointing will not sustain me. Keep me faithful, available, and teachable, knowing that as Your daughter, I have an inheritance to claim. Teach me to serve with purity of heart, seeking Your interests and not my own. I serve you, not man. Thank you for speaking to my soul and for teaching me the language of the heart. Open my eyes to be able to see better and become aware of what surrounds me. Help me to apply what I share, let it not just be words that will be forgotten tomorrow. Not lip service, but words from a heart surrendered to you.
