"Patience in Suffering" James 5:7-12

This morning I sat here with God trying to figure out what it was he wanted me to deliver this morning and he dropped a big one in my lap. I was lead to James 5:7-12, I have to admit that this Word was definitely for me.The title of this message is called:

"Patience in Suffering"

As you read James 5:7-12, you will understand it very well.

This week have been stressful for me, however I still do God's work with a smile and enjoyment, because I know at the end of the day My God will provide for me Everything I need...all I have to do is have Patience. I know that some of you have some issues right in your face that you are waiting on God to step in and remove, I say to you, keep staring that issue in the face and let it know that God is on the way! God is Never late and he's always on time, your issue just dropped in early. Keep your Faith and your Mind strong so whenever the devil tries to attend your show tell him that all tickets have been sold out for Christ, and there is no room for him.
LOL As I sit here and type all of this I am ministering to myself. I am not above anyone, I have real life struggles just like we all do, and that's the beauty of life. When these issues come up you have to ask yourself will you attend the show that is Sold Out for Christ where it is pack and people are standing in the line for hours just to attend the show? Or will you show up for the show of the devil where he has invited you to be a special guest to sit in the VIP section? The choice is yours... I have enough Faith and Trust in My God that I will have patience in suffering. I love you all and God Bless!

"You can't grow crop on dry land"

Jeremiah 17: 5-8 verse.

"You can't grow crop on dry land"

A lot of people ask the question: Why are you so optimistic about every situation? Where does your Faith comes from? As you read verses 5-6 it gives you a few good reason to have faith! I will not be that bush in the wastelands so therefore I have complete Faith and Trust in God! However, verses 7 & 8 is the key to it all! After reading this passage ask yourself... Are you satisfied with being unfruitful, or do you, like a well-watered tress, have strength for the time of crisis and even some to share as you bare fruit for the Lord?

Please get your exercise on by reading this message! I promise you some of you will think twice.
New Year ! New You! Lets start 2009 with a new Frame of Mind! Love you all and take care!

"Lets Get Drunk"

"Lets Get Drunk"
OK! Calm down...I have not lost my mind LOL. I just finished reading Acts chapter 2 and it have me so excited right now! Acts 2 was the story of "A Drunk Church" ... I don't know about you but when I enter the House of the Lord I'm trying to get Drunk off the Word myself! I want to be so full of God's presence that my knees buckle, my speech slur, and so full of the Spirit that I get lost in a praise. That's just me... I don't know about you all!

However, I ask all of you to read Acts 2: 1- 47. There are some key verses that are just amazing in this chapter like verses 34-35, and verses 42-47.
Acts 2:42-47 reminds me of True Divas in so many ways! We all are devoted people of Christ in our own way, we come together and pray, Each of us help those in need, many of us meet here on a daily bases, we give thanks and praise for favor for each of us, and I know that we touch and help save a many of lives here! Just yesterday I received a text message from a member saying She rededicated her life to Christ yesterday and I began to thank God and Congratulate her! God is amazing! He is forgiving! He is loving! I'll get drunk off His Spirit any day of the week not just Sunday, Wednesday, or Saturday! Now get off this computer, grad your Bible and go get Drunk! (off the Word)!!!

"Sleeping On the Job"

I just want to start by thanking each of you for your prayers and Holiday Wishes while my family and I traveled to visit our family!

"Sleeping On the Job"

This morning I was thumbing through the Bible and I came across Luke 22: 39-46! This passage talked about Praying that we will not fall to temptation. Many of us always fall asleep and wake up startled when we wake up with temptation standing in our face, then we begin to pray. Why fall asleep on the job? Pray faithfully in advance so when temptation comes around you have enough strength and confidence to not entertain it.
Please read the scriptures that I have provided for you today. Get your spiritual exercise on while feeding your soul with the Word of God! I love you all and take care!

John 13:7 December 26,2008

This morning message will be short due to me packing my things and getting ready to travel back home today! However, last night I wanted to get this message done and get it out the way so I can just pack and travel but God did not allow anything to come through for me and I did not want to do this message without him being involved. As I slept last night He kept saying to me (John 14:6) I am the way, the truth , and the light! As I got up this morning to read the scripture for myself another verse popped out for me and I knew that was what he set me up to see. It was John 13:7 and it stated Jesus replied, " You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand." So take that scripture alone and apply it to whatever situation you are going through God always have a plan for us, just know and understand that your plan isn't always his plan! I love you all. Take care and God Bless!

Luke 16:1-18 Dec 24, 2008

Good Morning Everyone! I just want to start by say thank you to Armetria Charles ( True Divas President) for stepping in and doing such a wonderful job with the good morning Divas message yesterday!

Last night before I went to bed the Lord gave me such a wonderful message and it was still on my mind this morning so I just had to share it with you all! The message came from Luke 16:1-18 verse. It was about "Jesus Tells the Parable of the Shrewd Manager." I have to say make sure you read verses 10-13 they are the ones that will put many into their place. These verses all boils down to Trust and your blessings!
Treat others and their property as you would your own. If you can't be trusted with someone else property why would God bless you with your own? Don't try to get over on those who extend their hand to help you, because you will always attract those types of people that will do the same to you. Read the message for yourself and figure out are you the Employer of the shrewd manager or are you the Shrewd Manger? It only takes a True Person of God to answer that question honestly! If you are The Employer do just what the guy did in this message(read stricture to find out). If you are the shrewd manager no matter what you attempt to succeed at you will always have hardship, struggles, and people that will do unto you as you have done unto others! I love you all! Take care and God Bless!

Your True Diva,

Good Morning Divas by Armetria Charles Dec. 23, 2008

Good Morning Divas,
As you may know Angela is out of town and does not have internet access at this time. So I was asked to continue her morning ritual of Good Morning Divas. With honor, I will proceed.

I am realizing success has it's hazards... We begin to trust in ourselves- our own abilities, position of influence, and resources, rather than God's. This has happened again and again. I read where it happened to Uzziah, a king of Judah who enjoyed great success and was exalted to a position of prominence. We read, But when he became strong, his heart was so proud that he acted corruptly, and he was unfaithful to the Lord his God" (2Cronicles 26:16). As a result Divas, God had to discipline the king. He lived out his days as a leper.
It happened to King Nebuchadnezzar, ruler of Babylonian Empire, who achieved great military success and was privileged to rebuild and beautify the lovely city of Babylon. Yet he too succumbed to pride. He begin to praise himself for building such a lavish, royal residence, leaving God out of the equation. Read (Daniel 4:30). God judged Nebuchadnezzar! )see scripture reference to see what happened!)
Now I read about John the Baptist and he knew how to cope with success. He recognized it came from God (John3:27). He didn't allow it to go to his head. The Lord was able to entrust to John a gracious measure of success in life because He knew that John would use it to glorify him.
How are you handling your success?
Let's take the road of John the Baptist and remember all that we have comes from God's bank account of His riches & glory!

Have a victorious day,

Your True Diva President,
Armetria Charles

Mark 10:1-16

I hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday morning! I was trying to get some much needed sleep last night this one book kept jumping around in my head! It was the book of Mark. We I finally got up God said Mark Chapter 10. I immediately grabbed my bible and as soon as I opened it he gave me two sets of scriptures, one was on divorce and the others were about blessing children!
Mark 10: 1-12 ( When you read this keep in mind Truth is Truth but realized that anything can be Forgiven).
Mark 10:13-16
is something dear to me. It speaks of the blessing of children. I have a personal attachment to this story. I always said I would not baptize my daughter without her understanding what it is about. I always want her to make that decision and hold it dear to her heart! My daughter came to me at the age of 7 and told me "Mama I'm ready." I replied..."to do what baby?" She said "to be baptized" We sat down and had a talk and she fully understood it and I was not going to stand in her way! She walked up to the Pastor herself and said Pastor I want you to baptize me and he asked her do you understand what this mean? My daughter looked at him and said of course me , my mama, and God already had this discussion ! LOL So please read these scriptures and get from it whatever you need. I love you all and take care!

Be on your guard

I have to say thank you all for such a beautiful week! You all have in my hearts and prayers. Stay connected to God and stay Faithful to the Word! Also know that with doing God's work the devil will always be lurking around trying to pull you off track, so I know that this is why God gave me this scripture this morning:

Matthew 10:17-20 (NIV)

17)"Be on your guard against men; they will hand you over to the local councils and flog you in their synagogues.
18) On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.
19) But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say,
20) for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

Another passage God gave me was Isaiah 40 so please take the time and read that.
Take the time to bless someone's life today if you haven't done so this week. Buy a gift today like a small bag of personal hygiene items, or an old jacket that you may not wear anymore that is in good shape and just give it to a homeless person you pass today and let them know that God still Loves them and to enjoy their Holiday. Get a cheap hotel room and house a homeless person for at least one night, they deserves to know that someone still loves them. Just take heed to this message and do whats on you are lead to do. I love you all! Have a Happy and safe Holidays!

Just Trust God!!!

Good morning everyone. I am so blessed to receive this word this morning. The Lord gave me this scripture last night while I was doing research, then he gave it to me again this morning so I am certain this message was meant for you all as well as myself. The scripture reads: Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
5) Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6) in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

OK lets break this down: verse 5 Basically means stop making decisions on your own! Many of us become faced to make tough decisions and we don't trust anyone but ourselves to make the right decision,We even fail to kneel and include God in these decisions. Include God in your decisions and trust what he gives you. It might not be what you want it to be, however, God knows whats best!
Verse 6 broken down: Be willing to listen and be corrected by God's Word, Take the decisions you make to Him in prayer, use your Bible as your guide and the follow God's lead and that is how he will make our path straight.

Just think of it like this when you are on your job working and a major decision needs to be made concerning the company are you going to consult with your supervisor/boss or are you going to make that decision on your own?

Meaning you life is not yours it is the Lords! How are you going to make decisions without consulting with you Father first? Did he give you that authority to run his business and making decisions without talking to him about it first...I don't think so. Just Trust God and follow his lead!

This is one of the keys to being a successful person in God's eye and being successful here on earth as well! Try it and see how fruitful your crop will be. I love you all...Be Blessed! If you need me call me, I'm here.

Stop Feeding Negative Thoughts and Have Faith!

This morning God gave to me Matthew 9: 2-4, and I am so happy because I have found that a few people this week have lost all faith in our God! Some have begin to question his word and have many doubts. So this message is for those who need that reminder on how Great God really is!

Matthew 9:2 - 4 (NIV)

2)Some men brought to him a paralytic, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven."
3)At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, "This fellow is blaspheming!"
4)Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, "Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?

ok lets get into these scriptures... verse 2 said he saw the FAITH in the men that carried the paralytic and said your sins are forgiven! Just that simple there were no task, begging, or a trial just Faith! OK verse 3 people thought that Jesus was a fake, they had their doubts just like some of us worry too much and have no Faith when times get had, health starts to fail, or business gets slow! So God asked in verse 3 "Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?" Jesus and I are on the same page here because I wonder about that as well. I wonder why we have so many Christians that doubt God's word? Why do they claim being broke, failing health, pain, recession, and so many negative things? Stop entertaining those evil thoughts or issues. It only have as much powers a you put into it. I ask that you dig into the Word of God to re strengthen your Faith. Don't Just rely on these messages to build you up, You need to help us rebuild you as well!

"Watch Your Mouth"

Every word you Has immense power, because it is a thought in action. There is an invincible power in every word you speak! You are a human being filled with unlimited possibilities, an the words you speak can either build a jail around you where you see only limitations, or they can set you free to live your life without any limits. Listen to the words that you speak and you will find every limitation you have ever experienced revealed to you. Change your words and you will change you life!
The Secret~

If you are sick or ill start expressing how "by His stripes you are healed!" If you are financially challenged, claim and speak out " I am blessed beyond measure, I live an abundant life."
The word of God states "call those things that are not as if they already are! Speak Life, not Deaf!!!!!

Have a beautiful day, full of bountiful blessings!

Truly,

1 John 4:1 (NIV) Test the Spirits

This morning God gave me the following scripture and it reminded me of something that I wrote last week but from a different scripture so please take heed! Today's word come from 1 John 4 and this is what it read:
1 John 4:1 (NIV)
Test the Spirits
1)Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Again this has to be another waring for us. The Lord has given me the same story in two different scriptures in the past week. So please be wise. The devil is on the lookout to bring you depression, jealousy, anger, guilt, lust, and past habits or issues. So please be careful who you allow in your circle, every nice person isn't a God fearing person. Every beautiful woman isn't a woman of God, every handsome man isn't a man of God, and every spirit isn't a God filled spirit. I love you all, take care, and God Bless!

Just Be You!

Today is Friday and I must say that this week has passed with speed. I just simply want to encourage you to be who you are, stand for what you believe in, respect others as well as yourself, and most of all don't allow anyone or anything to be your stumbling block. Be steadfast in Christ allow him to use you freely. Many people may not like you, despise you, or even envy you, but as long as you have done what God has put on your heart to do then so be it. We as men and women of God need to stop taking things lightly and bending the rules of the Ten Commandments, no sin is greater than the next, they are all equal in God's eye. He gave us ten rules to follow, however, we only highlight the ones that the law summit as a felony. We are all guilty of things but its up to us to start today and fix them. Personal Development is hard, however, how hard can it be when your Eternal Life depends on it! I love you all!

Proverbs 23

Today's the Lord blessed me with the Word from Proverbs 23:1-35. I could not point out one thing to speak on because all of it has great meaning. I advise that each of you read this message today or look it up on BibleGateway.com to view it. The message is about wanting what others have! I've list a few verses but you must read the rest on your own. Take head and be blessed.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

Proverbs 23

1) When you sit down to eat with a ruler,
look carefully at what's in front of you.
2) Put a knife to your throat
if you like to eat too much.
3) Don't long for his fancy food.
It can fool you.
4 Don't wear yourself out to get rich.
Be wise enough to say no.
5) When you take even a quick look at riches, they are gone.
They grow wings and fly away into the sky like an eagle.
6) Don't eat the food of anyone who won't share it.
Don't long for his fancy food.
7) He is the kind of person
who is always thinking about how much it costs.
"Eat and drink," he says to you.
But he doesn't mean it.
8) You will throw up what little you have eaten.
You will have wasted your words of praise.

I was not given any instructions to explain any of this. God says it will be understood, for those who it is far. I love you all, Have a Beautiful day!

The Valley of Dry Bones

Ezekiel 37: 1 - 14
The Valley of Dry Bones

I read this passage this morning and it reminded me of how powerful Our God is. Many of us have been walking Dry Bones, souls lost and we just roamed the earth trapped in its sin. God looked upon us and decided to speak Life into us and give us that chance to live again!

Verses 5&6 reads:

5) This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath [a] enter you, and you will come to life.
6) I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.' "

That's why I Live, Laugh, and Love! God awaken my spirit from the dead and now I vow to walk around with a praise on the inside and out! My life is much more valuable than any cheap sin of this world! I will not let one person tear down my spirit and anything God has given me. God has given you a New Life, cherish it and rejoice that you too have be raised from the dead. Continue to live full of God's Spirit, be true, and be sincere. Pray for those who are still dead in their spirit, keep speaking the Word of Life into them. You may be the one that God uses to raise their spirit from the dead!
Also people please be careful how you treat people, because you never know when you may need their help. However, be careful how you treat the ones who mistreat you because you never know when God is going to send you to help them! I love you all and take care!

Your True Diva,

Angela Showers

Please take the time to read the passage today Ezekiel 37:1-14!

Ezekiel 37

The Valley of Dry Bones

1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?"
I said, "O Sovereign LORD, you alone know."

4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath ^[a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.' "

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

9 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live.' " 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.

11 Then he said to me: "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, 'Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.' 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O my people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.' "

1 Timothy 3 1-7 (NIV)

I have been struggling with a person in my spirit! I've had warnings in dreams, and I've also tried to ignore the feeling of negative vibes. As I begin to gain sight of the issue by God revealing thing to me I begin to handle the issue. As my confirmation of everything I was feeling was in this text.

1 Timothy 3 1-7 (NIV)
1) Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer,[a] he desires a noble task.
2) Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
3) not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
4) He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect.
5)(If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church?)
6)He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.
7) He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil's trap.

With that being said be careful who you allow in your circle! You may have a wolf in sheep's clothing that has camouflaged themselves as a christian or a friend. The devil will attempt to duplicate something or someone to gain your acceptance and once he is invited in and accepted his true colors will show! So beware of the devils carbon copy of God's work, do not be fooled.

If you are going to do God's work be pure and follow the guidelines above! Don't fake it to you make it, just be honest and let God continue to work with you. Don't lead people when you are not fit to lead! This applies to LIFE not just doing God's work. Stop trying to be seen for something you are NOT! You may have many fooled, however, If you leave this world today God is the one you have to answer to. Why feel the need to please the world when you are not pleasing to God?

3 John 1:4-8 (NIV)

I have received a word today from the Lord and it have me so excited! It was just confirmation for me and may be for some of you also! It was from:

3 John 1:4-8 (NIV)

4) I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are living by the truth.
5) Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the believers. You are faithful even though they are strangers to you.
6) They have told the church about your love. Please help them by sending them on their way in a manner that honors God.
7) They started on their journey to serve Jesus Christ. They didn't receive any help from those who aren't believers.

That word confirmed that everything I have been doing, my Father is proud! I know this word was ment for some of you who had doubt or even wondered if what you do was your purpose! God brought this message at the right moment for many of us. However, pay close attention to verse 7!
It read:
7) They started on their journey to serve Jesus Christ. They didn't receive any help from those who aren't believers.
That means only recruit members on your team (business partners, friends, associates etc...) who are believers! If they are not within the white light of Christ say thank you, but no thanks! That non believer can tear down everything you have built! The devil will do what he can or send someone to tear you down spiritually, so all help is not good help and All money isn't good money! Why have 10 best friends when only 1 of them is a believer? That's why when we grow closer to God some of our friends disappear because he wants us to be surrounded with people who are believers to
help us stay on our path. Take heed to the Word today! I love you all and God Bless.

We are at the end of our week and the question for today is "What have you done
to bless someone's life this week?"
We all love to be blessed and receive blessings, however, many of us struggle to
be a blessing for someone else! I'm not here to sugar coat anything or to hurt
anyone's feelings but I'm just keeping it real!

Many complain but never do anything to fix the issue, many just sit and watch
things happen and don't say a word, and then you have those that are unconcern
with changing things but wants to be the one to spread the gossip.
Life is not about being blessed its about being a blessing to someone else!
Despite of what you are going through you should at least be able to share the
Word with someone, you should be able to take the time and encourage that sister
or brother that just may be in a worst situation that you are in.
As said before it is better to give than to receive. Give someone 5 minutes of
your time, give someone encouragement, give them hope, and give them the word of
God. Giving isn't always financial!
Its not too late to bless someone's life this week you have the rest of today
and tomorrow, but remember Tomorrow is not promised. I love you all and take
care.

Your True Diva,

True Divas Inspiration for The Day:

There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen,
those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened. We all have a
choice. You can decide which type of person you want to be. I have always chosen
to be in the first group.

Blessings on this Thursday morning! I hope everyone is having a prosperous week
thus far. For those who have had challenges this week, stand strong and face
them! Never back down or show your weakness. Never shy away or bow down due to
fear of failure. Fight for your dreams and goals as you did on election day when
you waited an hour or more to cast your vote! Fight back as you did when you saw
some or heard of someone mistreating your child, fight back like you did when
someone tried to lie on you or destroy your name out of jealousy. Fight Back!
Fight Back! Fight Back! Only you have the will power to make your dreams and
goals come to past. God puts the gift in you its up to you to bring it out! Stop
depending on someone else to give you that BIG BREAK and TAKE IT! This is our
season, this is our time, so make use of it. I love you all. Stay motivated and
deep in Prayer.

Your True Diva,
Angela Showers

Followering God's Command!

This have been an extremely busy, productive, and Spiritual week for me. I have been constantly on a mission with God, while working with my clients at my office, working with a hockey team, my beautiful supporting family, my 5 websites, my 3 myspace pages, 1 facebook page, and working with you all whenever you call me,text, or email.
You can read over this list and see I don't have time for myself at times. I always up by 6 am and usually down by 12am. Many of you don't understand that 98% of the thing I do is volunteer. I am not rich, however, I am rich in God's favor!
Many ask why do I do all of the things I do is it for success? The answer is no. I just move off God's command and I have the Faith that he will provide! I've help so many people that when I need help there is no one to turn to but God! However I am a witness that when God pays off he pay off in big ways! I've had so many opportunities thrown at me about this site, my career in massage therapy, other business opportunities, and several invites to conferences, interviews, and events. All off of following God's command and trusting his word.
I wrote all this to say do what you feel lead to do, no matter what others may think. God pays off greater than any major company will ever pay you. Never be so selfish that you are the first one who's looking to benefit from anything you do. Always appreciate the ones who offer help or they are willing to help just to see you succeed. Trust me I don't do this for me (however it has been a great blessing upon my life) I do this for that many of you that needed that sisterhood, that spiritual place to meet genuine God fearing people. Keep walking in Faith and believing in God! As always if you need me I am here! I love you all and remember you have less than 24 hrs. to bless someone if you haven't done so in this week already!

John 16:33

This morning the Lord gave me Scripture John 16:33 it read:

John 16:33 (New International Reader's Version)

33 "I have told you these things, so that you can have peace because of me. In this world you will have trouble. But cheer up! I have won the battle over the world."

Do you understand this text clearly people? Everything God has told you it was for you to have peace, in order for you to have peace, you have to have trust in Him. In order to Trust Him you have to have Faith in Him and His Word! Ok people ride with me now! Then he goes on to say," In this world you will have trouble." OK that lets you know right then it is not going to be easy, everyday is not going to be sunny days with chirping birds. But if you go back and read the first part of the text your mind should not be cluttered with doubt nor worry because you trust and have Faith in His Word. With that being said, he then announces... But cheer up! I have won the battle over the world." Now how can you not be rejoicing in God's victory. He's letting you know that no matter what trouble comes your way, you may feel the heat but he has already put out the fire!

All that crying and faithfulless worrying, thoughtless doing, and petty thinking is all a WASTE of TIME. Have some Faith! God has never let any of us down! He has always provided for us even when we didn't deserve it. This battle is not yours, Its the Lords, and he has already stated He has already won the battles of this world! Now stop looking at the tip of your nose and look out into the far. Are you going to stand there with your eyes crossed or you are going to pick up your feet and go see whats ahead? I love you all! If you need me call me. If you don't have my number just ask or send me yours. Just know that I will keep it 100% real, if you can't handle the truth just keep reading these messages lol and I'll keep you in my prayers.
Keep your head up and keep moving forward.

"The Devil is on the Prowl"

I come to you this morning with the title of "The Devil is on the Prowl"

This morning God gave me the Scriptures of Ephesians 4:17-31., and after I read it a voice said the devil is on the prowl! Therefore, I am to warn you, before you fall week to any temptations from your past. Stay focused and remain on your path! Drown yourself in God's word, pray every moment you get a chance to because the devil is after your glory. The devil doesn't like to see anyone rebuild themselves, refresh their spirit, nor rejuvenate their minds with God's words or positive thinking! The devil get to us buy using whatever he can to get to us like our families, our finances, our jobs, our joy, our health , our spirits, our minds, our church, our home, our bills, our cars, our country, the lowest one of all the devil pulls out the card of the past! He bring forth temptations to those who may have had issues with alcohol, prescription drugs, illegal drugs, depression, lust, adultery, low self-esteem, greediness, selfishness and etc... I pray that you stay strong and keep on your path. Continue to be a member of God's army! Let the devil know that every card he pulls from his hand that you have a better hand and that is the Hand of God placed upon your life! Please read Ephesians 4:17-31 today as it will give you the encouragement to move forward and Not look back. Every time you try to drive forward while looking back you notice that the wheel of your vehicle begin to yield off track! Stay focused on whats ahead and leave your past behind. I love you all!

When God Speak...Close Your Mouth and Listen!

I sat here this morning waiting to here from God an he Immediately gave me:
John 3:16 (King James Version)

16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I began to shed tears and thank him because a man has such love for us all the he would be so unselfish. Then God said go to:

Peter 3: 3-4.
New International Version (NIV)

3)Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4)Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.

I just say back and smiled and remembered just October of last year(2007) the Lord came to me and said cut your hair free from all chemicals. I'm thinking "Lord I'm a sister this nappy dugout is not going to be cute!" However, I obeyed him and it felt like I was given a new life. I was such a superficial person that my looks were everything. The Lord gave me vision, wisdom, and strength. He open up my senses, my sight, my spiritual gifts, my frame of mind, and gave me a new thought process, all by cutting off my hair. I been a all natural sister since then growing locks but not by my choice either. I thought they were cute on others but not for me! I've always feared how others saw my outward appearance when God was only trying to teach me how Beautiful I was inside. I got a chance to see how pure my heart was. I began to see everything he had stored inside me. He allowed others to look within my spirit and prophesied to me, multiple people at different times with the same story! As many parts of the Bible I have read, I never read Peter 3:3-4! God is an awesome God!

I hope this message as touched you as it has me today! He really gave me a word for myself and I am proud to share it with you all! I love you and Take Care.

Angela Showers

Have you earnd This key to Heaven?

We've all just celebrated Thanksgiving with our family members either in person,web cam, or by phone. One thing that bothers me is that we still treat some strangers better than our family (that includes cousins, uncles,aunts, in-laws, etc...). How could we dare go out of our way to please a stranger when we can't help our own family? Whatever it is that hinders you from forgiving that person does nothing but block your blessings. Thing happen, and I'm sure you have done some things in your life that is hard for people to forgive you also. You need to Go and Let Go!
Life is too short to be carrying around baggage from early childhood, unpaid debts, adultery, stolen property, or destruction of character. Its time to grow up and forgive, how can you have complete spiritual growth if you hold such bitterness and animosity in your heart for someone. Loving millions and helping billions doesn't mean anything when you hold such bitterness in your heart for one of God creations.
Look over your past and look at all the sinful things we have done in our past yet God still loves us, He still forgives us, and He still provide for us! We all say we want to be Christ like but can't even start by letting go of the dark moments. Forgiveness is one of your keys to Heaven! Have you earned yours? I love you all and may God continue to bless, reveal, repair, and rejuvenate your mind, heart, and soul!

Your True Diva,

Angela Showers
