Healthy Living

1. Get up & Get Moving
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Hit the basketball court; have a water fight your kids; get out and dance, have a Taebo party. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress reliever. Think 'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: In the words of Laura A. Gibson... "Boom Kat Boom"...Then do it!

2.No Pigs Allowed
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts. Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise. Thought for the day: Lean, mean, fat-burning machine…. Then be one!

3. Dropping the Butt
The jury is definitely in on this verdict. Ever since 1960 when the Surgeon General announced that smoking was harmful to your health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products that kill. Just recently, we've seen a surge in smoking in adolescents and teens. Could it be the Hollywood influence? It seems the stars in every movie of late smoke cigarettes. Beware. Warn your children of the false romance or 'tough guy' stance of Hollywood smokers. Thought for the day: Give up just one cigarette…. the next one.

4. Ditching Stress
Easier said than done, stress relievers come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e.,Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial, or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds….then float on them.

Well prepared

Well prepared

When you're well prepared for the challenges, you can actually enjoy working through them. When you enjoy the challenges, you'll be able to create great value.

What can you do today that will make your work tomorrow go more smoothly? Though you may not know exactly what the challenges will be, there is still much you can do to prepare.

Preparation boosts your confidence. Good, solid, thoughtful preparation makes your efforts more effective.

Be well prepared, and your time will be spent moving forward instead of struggling to catch up. Be prepared, and you can effectively deal with small issues before they become big obstacles.

Imagine the possibilities and then prepare yourself for them. That puts you in position to make the best of whatever may happen.

Good preparation magnifies the positive influence of your efforts. Be prepared and everything becomes an opportunity.

Love you all MAKE IT a GREAT DAY!

Find a way

Find a way
Don't believe those who tell you that it can't be done. Refuse to be stopped by those who say it's too late, or not practical, or too early, or not workable.

Listen carefully and thoughtfully to their advice, and then find a way. Look realistically at the challenges, and then begin working through them.

What may appear to be an unyielding obstacle when you're standing still, will begin to give way when you start moving forward. Focus not on what is pushing against you, but focus instead on the purpose that is pushing you to get it done.

Remind yourself again and again of why you must. Hold your head high and keep your eyes on the goal.

Conditions will change, and so can you. Some routes will be blocked, and you have the flexibility to discover alternate ways to get it done.

Decide that you will accomplish what you have chosen to accomplish. Know that there is a way, and step by step, you will find it.

Reasons

Reasons behind the reasons

Look for the reasons behind the reasons. There is some reason for everything you have chosen to do or to be.

Behind each reason is another reason that drives it, and a whole string of reasons, reaching to your very core. Dig deep enough, and connect with your most treasured purposes.

The more clearly you know who you are, the more elevated your perspective becomes. Develop a solid understanding of your very own fundamental reasons why, and you'll find multiple opportunities for moving forward.

When you're in touch with your purpose, you'll find that many of the external things you see as necessities are not really necessities at all. The less you need, the more abundant and fulfilling your life will be.

Know why you do what you do, and you'll understand how to do it more effectively. When there is authentic passion driving your actions, those actions get results.

Where there is a real and meaningful reason, fulfillment naturally follows. Find your deepest reason why, and activate your most powerful abilities to make it so.

The Prayer of Faith

Today we will cover patience. And if ANY of you are like me, that is very hard to do. ESPECIALLY during suffering. We want so bad for the storm to be over that we don't pay attention to the lesson and the reason of the storm. Well the storm is going to pass. But it doesn't feel like it at the time. That storm looks like Katrina at the moment. But guess what? Even Katrina passed. So will your storm, OUR storm. Say the prayer of faith. He is planting that seed in us. Let us allow it to flourish and be fruitful. But first, we MUST endure. It is hard, trust me I know. But let us pray and be mindful of the outcome. NOTHING here on Earth last forever. Remember this too shall pass.

The Prayer of Faith
13Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
17Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. 19My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, 20remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

James 2

Greetings Divas & Gents!

Today is another beautiful day that the Lord has blessed us to see. We had an awesome time on the call last night and we shared some amazing updates in all of our lives. We have some people here on the True Diva Network that are really beginning to birth and work in their purpose! We are Super Excited to hear all of the wonderful things that God is doing in each of your lives. Keep the Faith and Stay focused!

I hope that this comes to you in good spirits. Today the message is from James 2 because it covers how we should treat one another, but it also covers what we should do in our faith. We tend to have faith and believe that just asking and believing is enough. Well it isn't. It is great to ask and to believe, but we have to do our part. See just believing it is going to happen won't do. We have to move into action. We have to step forward with that faith and go ahead and let Him lead us. Never fear that you are going to fail or let Him down. He wants us to do these things in our lives. He is telling us and we just have to listen. We have to do our part. So today not only know that it is going to happen. Do something to assist in making it happen. I tell people all the time, I can only do what I can do and give the rest to Him. Do what you can do! Be blessed and I love you all!

Taming that tongue.

Good morning all! Hope that you sleep was peaceful and full of rest. Today is James 3. Taming that tongue. I think we all have struggled with this at one point in time. Our tongues are a small part of our make up, but they do some of the most damage. We must be mindful of what we say to one another. We cannot take it back. As in Proverbs, we must be slow to anger. Being angry is going to happen. Well take a step back, and pray and meditate on it. Understand anger is a secondary emotion, so know that wasn't your first reaction in the first place. As in the second half of James which covers wisdom, that will help with your anger and taming your tongue. When we believe that our wisdom comes from the world,, we are already foolish. Be of a higher degree and stand for much more than worldly things. Today I ask that you pray for someone you didn't pray for yesterday. Do it everyday. Will find that even in a week you have prayed for 7 more people. If everyone does that do you know the power that is occurring? He is wonderful! Let's use ourselves for Him and for one another. Be blessed, love and live!

Satan was just a Setup for your blessings.

Today is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it! Today is Sunday another day to be thankful for. Last week I'm sure I'm not the only one, however, I was attacked by satan on several occasions, people have tried to slander my name, accuse me of things that I have not done, gotten upset with me because I don't do what they think I should do and even tried to infest attitude in my daughter. When satan saw that I was not going to bow down to his level he begin to attack my house, and the people I am closest to...but guess what even God put a spin on that. Everything the enemy plotted against me God made it for me! I am blessed and I know I serve a Mighty God. From on attack came a flood of love and compassion from so many people that I ever expected. I thank you all for the prayers, the love, the emails, phone calls, text messages, and the support. Even though you all have busy lives, you took out the time to share a moment with me and I truly appreciate it.
When things look bad from one angel try repositioning yourself to look at it from another angel. Food for thought... Every problem have a solution and most of them have multiple solutions so ask yourself which solution is best for you? I love you all and have a blessed day.

You are not alone!

Yes its Saturday and I am Super Excited about my day today. I have had a rough week fighting off Satan but thank God I made it to Saturday, no matter how things went this week I was still about my Father's Business. No devil in hell will stop me from completing the task that I was put on this earth to do. That is how you should feel right now. Don't get depressed, worry, or sad. Stand up and fight back. God came up with all power and he have the power to heal any situation that you ask of him! Fall on your knees and ask for the power of the Almighty to fall upon your situation! Speak, Believe it, and watch it manifest! I love you all and I am here for each of you. Just because I don't send a message to let you know I am praying for you or thinking of you, doesn't mean that you are not in my prayers. So just know that when you are feel like your load is unbearable, you are not the only one praying for you! Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Joshua 1:3-10 (NIV)

This morning I woke up giving God the highest praise and thanking him before I hit the floor good. I remember waking up in my sleep thanking God but wasn't sure why. So as I sat at the computer God begin to minister to me through scripture. God whipped me up and the gave me this one message that soothed my bruised spirit from attacks of satan this week. He gave me

Joshua 1:3-10 (NIV) and it reads:
3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Great Sea [a] on the west. 5 No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

6 "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. 7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
I pray that this message heal your spirit as it has healed min on this very morning. I love you all and God Bless.

Sharing your testimony!

Greetings Everyone,

I have to say thank you to those who attended the call last night. Once again the lines were packed and I give a special thanks to those who was brave enough to speak out on what God has done in their lives. Just from listening to everyone's testimony, it gave me more hope and determination to move on in God's work. Even thinking back on what he has done for me made me fall on my knees and bless his name. If you missed the call last night and wish to listen I will provide the link and password for you.

I just wanted to take the moment and say don't be afraid or ashame to give your testimony or share what you have been through. We as people are quick to brag about what we have bought, how much money we have made, talk about something new that you bought and how well it work, however, we are too scared to tell others what God has done in our lives! Your testimony can't help anybody if you are not willing to share it. The purpose of Testimony Tuesday last night was to help our sisters understand that we are not perfect, we were a mess before God stepped in, and to give someone hope for tomorrow. It was not about telling your business to everyone, it was simply to bless someone else Spirit. We as people need to step outside of ourselves and stop worrying about what people are going to think. Somebody deliverance could have been depending on your testimony! God Bless and have a Great day!

Luke 3:2-16
2during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the desert. 3He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 4As is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:
"A voice of one calling in the desert,
'Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.
5Every valley shall be filled in,
every mountain and hill made low.
The crooked roads shall become straight,
the rough ways smooth.
6And all mankind will see God's salvation.' "

7John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 9The axe is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire."

10"What should we do then?" the crowd asked.

11John answered, "The man with two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the same."

12Tax collectors also came to be baptized. "Teacher," they asked, "what should we do?"

13"Don't collect any more than you are required to," he told

them. 14Then some soldiers asked him, "And what should we do?"
He replied, "Don't extort money and don't accuse people falsely—be content with your pay."

15The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Christ.[b] 16John answered them all, "I baptize you with[c] water. But one more powerful than I will come, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Always remember that No One have a Heaven or a Hell to put you in but God!

"Jesus gives the Great Commission!"

Greetings Divas & Gents,

This morning I was lead to Mark 16:15-18 and Matthew 28:16-20 and it speaks upon "Jesus gives the Great Commission!"

The Great Commission - A Personal Instruction

The Great Commission is one of the most significant passages in the Holy Bible. First, it's the last recorded personal instruction given by Jesus to His disciples. Second, it's a special calling from Jesus Christ to all His followers to take specific action while on this earth. The Great Commission is found in the Gospel of Matthew:

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20)

The Great Commission - A Personal Calling

In the Great Commission, Jesus calls every Christian to step out in faith and spread the Good News. This is faith in action! People who obey this command change their spiritual lives forever! It could be spreading the Good News to a neighbor or moving to another country to reach the people there. It could be sharing with less fortunate kids down the street or spreading the Word in a town two hours away. Wherever we go, every faithful Christian is compelled through obedience to share the Gospel. If you're a believer in Jesus Christ, where has He called you to go? Who has God put on your heart to share the gift of salvation? What small or large steps can you take, with the knowledge that Christ will be by your side, "to make disciples of all the nations"? Think about it!

In your womb I have been fashioned;

To this place and time.
To me you have given talent and life and blessings.
To me you have given tasks given to no others.

With joy and gratitude
I celebrate my much-honored existence.
From ages past to eternity,
I have been included in your divine plan.

Thank you God for creating ME!

Have a Beautiful day in the Lord!

In the words of Nike, "Just Do It"

Greeting Divas,

Monday we Spoke on "What are you waiting for?" Tuesday we discussed, "The Time is Now." Today we are going to use the slogan of Nike, "Just Do It!"

That's right Just do it! Get up, Get out, and Get Moving! Just as we spoke of on the call last night, Its time to pull those hopes and dreams out of the notebooks, its time to wake up, and its time to stop making excuses. The time is now to just do it! Remember when you first got yourself a pair of Nikes and all of a sudden you thought you could play basketball or run a little faster all because of the shoes on your feet? See when we were younger, we put our Faith in those shoes and little did we know those shoes boosted our confidence and we begin to play sports a little better. However, reality is, it was all inside of our mind. We can do anything that we put our mind to if we step out and just do it! So I encourage you to Get up and Lace up your mental Nikes and lets play ball. Do whatever it is that God has placed inside of you! Don't worry about failing, because guess what???? You have to fail before you succeed! I never met a successful person who succeeded on the first try! Failure starts in the mind by doubting the gift or vision that God has given us! So I say don't accept defeat or Failure before you even tryout your gifts or ideal. Lets wake up Divas and pull those dreams out of those notebooks and out of our minds! Stop being afraid to succeed or being successful! Stop worrying about what others are going to think of you! Stop making your decisions off of other people opinions! Stop making excuses, and "Just Do It!"
If you need any help or have any questions feel free to ask. Remember, sometimes we have not because we ask not! I love you all and God Bless!

"The Time is Now!"

Greetings Divas and Gents,
This morning I woke up with a humble and peaceful spirit. As God ministered to my spirit and He said, "The time is now!"

Everyday people offer us countless opportunities, however, God give each of us special gifts. Ask yourself are you working are you working using the gift that God gave you? Or are you working the opportunity that someone else gave you. As God told me this morning, "The Time Is NOW!" Tonight on the conference call I will speak to you off one question and one statement. "What are you waiting for?" and "The time is Now!" I encourage each of you to attend tonight's conference call. This call will be like no other, so please join us and invite your friends as well. I love you all and I hope to hear each of you on the call!
*Also remember we have a NEW Conference call number. I have provided the info below.*

"What are you waiting for?"

Greetings Divas & Gents,

Today I pose a question to you all! "What are you waiting for?" This is the question God asked me a few days ago so now I am asking you. What are you waiting for? I want you all to think of this question and begin to think of the things that you been putting off. Tomorrow night on our conference call we will discuss this question and help you all move to the next level. So for today I ask each of you to write down at least three things that you have been wanting to do but been making excuses not to do. Write down reasons why you haven't done it and when you attend the call we will all start breaking ground on these these ideals! I love you all and God bless!

"A Thought for today"

Today is the day that you could possibly save or change someone's life. The question is, Will you step up to the plate and take the challenge.? We all have a job to do and a mission to complete, but many of us are too afraid to get started. Its time for us to be like Nike and "Just Do It!" Its time out for excuses and fear. Tell someone about Christ today! Stop gossiping about others and start spreading the word about what he has done for you. Ask yourself... How many people can I save today just by telling them how Christ has moved in your life? Then, ask yourself... How many people could died today and go to hell because I failed to share with them the word of God?

We are quick to tell people about the latest sale at Macy's. We are quick to tell someone about our business. We are quick to talk about how the economy is doing. When are you going to talk about your experience with God? Tell someone how he brought you through your darkest moments. Share the Good News of how He saves, heal, protect, and provide! May your day be filled with blessings and encouragement. Step up and step out on Faith, however, remember that Faith without work is dead! I love you all. God Bless.

"Doing What is Good"

Greetings Divas & Gents,

This morning I was flipping through my Bible and I came upon Titus 3: 1-9 and it spoke upon "Doing What is Good". We as Christians always thing of doing whats pleasing to God but what about our earthly authorities? We are Try our best to please God but many can't follow the rules of government and its leaders. We as Christians are not above the law. Obeying the Civil Law is only the beginning of our Christian responsibilities! I pray that this Word Bless Your Spirit. God Bless.

Titus 3
Doing What is Good
1Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, 2to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.

3At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. 8This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

9But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.

A psalm of David

Greetings Everyone,

I want to thank everyone who attended the call last night! We had an amazing fellowship together, so thank you ladies for a wonderful night.

This morning I woke up and and it was placed on my heart to deliver the message from Psalm 23. I don't know needs this right now but God knows who you are and that's all that matters. I love you all and know that if you need me I am here with open arms.

Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

Sayings of the Wise

Greetings Everyone,

This morning message came strong all these words to penetrate in your mind and your spirit for tomorrow if the Lord's will, We will discuss this in detail on the True Divas Conference call!

Proverbs 22:17-29 (New International Version)

Sayings of the Wise
17 Pay attention and listen to the sayings of the wise;
apply your heart to what I teach,

18 for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart
and have all of them ready on your lips.

19 So that your trust may be in the LORD,
I teach you today, even you.

20 Have I not written thirty [a] sayings for you,
sayings of counsel and knowledge,

21 teaching you true and reliable words,
so that you can give sound answers
to him who sent you?

22 Do not exploit the poor because they are poor
and do not crush the needy in court,

23 for the LORD will take up their case
and will plunder those who plunder them.

24 Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man,
do not associate with one easily angered,

25 or you may learn his ways
and get yourself ensnared.

26 Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge
or puts up security for debts;

27 if you lack the means to pay,
your very bed will be snatched from under you.

28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone
set up by your forefathers.

29 Do you see a man skilled in his work?
He will serve before kings;
he will not serve before obscure men.

Greetings Divas & Gents,
As promised I am going to break down yesterday's message. It was from Ephesians 5:8-20.

We as people who have light from the Lord, our actions must reflect our faith. We should live above reproach morally so that we will reflect God's greatness to others.
It is important that we must avoid the "fruitless deeds of darkness" meaning any pleasures or activities that result in sin, but we must even take it a step further. See in the Bible Paul instructed people to expose these deeds, because our SILENCE my be interpreted as approval! God needs people who are going to take stand for what is right, not back down or keep silence because what others might think! Christians must lovingly speak out for what is true and right.
As many of us transform from our old habits and behaviors they still intend to try to sneak back into our lives at times. We must continue to set our standards high, act wisely, and do good whenever we can.

How Bright Does Your Light Shine?

Greetings Divas & Gents,
Today is the day the Lord has made, We will rejoice and be glad in it! This morning I came across an interesting message and it made me think of when I first gave my Life to Christ. I just wanted to share this message with you all today but I'm going to take my time and explain it in detail tomorrow. I hope that you all enjoy!


Ephesians 5:8-20 (New International Version)

8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10and find out what pleases the Lord. 11Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
"Wake up, O sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you."

15Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. 18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, 20always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalm 124

Psalm 124 (New International Version)

song of ascents. Of David.

¹ If the LORD had not been on our side—
let Israel say-

² if the LORD had not been on our side
when men attacked us,

³ when their anger flared against us,
they would have swallowed us alive;

⁴ the flood would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,

⁵ the raging waters
would have swept us away.

⁶ Praise be to the LORD,
who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

⁷ We have escaped like a bird
out of the fowler's snare;
the snare has been broken,
and we have escaped.

⁸ Our help is in the name of the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

How Lonely are you?

Greetings Divas & Gents,

This morning I ask the Lord to give me something that will speak to each of you in some way this morning. As I flipped through my Bible I came upon my husband picture in the middle of Proverbs. I begin to flip through Proverbs and Immediately I was given Proverbs 19:24 and it reads:
Proverbs 19:24(NIV)
A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

As I read this message, the light bulb went off and the questions began to flow! Why do people have to be with a crowd of friends? Why do some women and men change lovers like changing clothes? Why do some people have about feel the need to hang in clicks, gangs, clubs,and etc. Why isn't One lover or one True Friend is good enough? Then on the other hand this scripture can go another way... why do people isolate themselves from others? Why people don't have friends, or a companion?
The word came to mind was Loneliness!
Loneliness is everywhere, Many people feel cut off and alienated from others this will cause them to stay isolated or go out and crave to be accepted. Being in a crowd makes people be more aware of their isolation so we do one or two things, we either go back into our hole and think that we will never fit in or we continue to seek attention to be accepted. Both of these reactions can be very dangerous. Tonight on the True Divas Conference Call I will speak more about this in detail. This is an very important subject the the Lord has placed on my heart this morning and I pray that you all will make it on the call to hear what he has placed inside of my spirit this morning. Invite your family and friends for this call if you want. Call information is on the main page. I love you all and God Bless. I will hear you on the call... dial up and fellowship with your Sisters.

I cut them off...

Greetings Divas & Gents,

I just have to share a small testimony with you this morning! All weekend long, I have been bullied by the devil. He has frustrated me, irritated me, tempted me, and even tried to cripple my thoughts. I tell you here today, all I could say in God I Trust you. When things got really hard I just called his name... Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. Guess what... he showed up and he took control! He showed me how powerful he is and will always be.
This morning I was lead to the book of Psalm 118: 10-17(NIV) and it Read:
10 All the nations surrounded me,
but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

11 They surrounded me on every side,
but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

12 They swarmed around me like bees,
but they died out as quickly as burning thorns;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

13 I was pushed back and about to fall,
but the LORD helped me.

14 The LORD is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.

15 Shouts of joy and victory
resound in the tents of the righteous:
"The LORD's right hand has done mighty things!

16 The LORD's right hand is lifted high;
the LORD's right hand has done mighty things!"

17 I will not die but live,
and will proclaim what the LORD has done.

Today I can shout Victory Today is Mine! I'm here to let you know that nothing is too hard for Jesus, all you have to do is Step Aside! I love you all and God Bless.

Forgiveness (Sunday, May 17,2009)

Greetings Everyone,

I pray that all is well on this wonderful day that the Lord has made! If you are reading this message you have been given another chance to make things right in your life. So lets start today by 1st asking someone that you have offended in anyway or have fallen out with over something stupid and ask them to forgive you. Life is too short to stay made at someone or have bad feelings about someone because of the things that have happened years and moths ago. Let it go and let God handle it. Just do your part by sincerely asking for their forgiveness, even if it wasn't completely your fault! Just as Jesus gave you a second chance today and forgave you,(even if you didn't ask) you should at least reach out and forgive yourself and someone else! I love you all and have a Super Sunday!

Thank you all for helping True Divas grow! Everyday we are getting new members and it is just amazing, we truly appreciate your support. We are very honored and pleased to have such a wonderful group of Divas & Gents join us. Thank you all once again.

True Divas Conference call every Tuesday night! Prepare for a wonderful call! Call info can be found on main page.

Trust Him

Greetings Divas & Gents,

I pray that all is well with each of you and your families. This week has been a challenging but wonderful week for me. All I could do was stay in the Word of God and Trust him. So many of us complain when we get called out on the test of faith (that's what I call my life challenges) that we don't realize that we are being tested. Look back over your week and see how many times your Faith was tested and ask yourself did I pass or fail?

I advise each of you to keep the Faith and Trust God! Realize that you have Jesus in the boat with you, even when you think your boat is sinking and the storm has gotten unbearable. No storm is too big for our God! A sinking boat is nothing when you can Trust him and he allows you to walk on water with him! Faith is the key to success and to life. If you trust God and have Faith, everything is possible. I love you all and God Bless.

Psalm 19

Psalm 19

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

¹ The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

² Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.

³ There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard. ^a]">[a]

⁴ Their voice ^b]">[b] goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,

⁵ which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

⁶ It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.

⁷ The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.

⁸ The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.

⁹ The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are sure
and altogether righteous.

¹⁰ They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.

¹¹ By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.

¹² Who can discern his errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.

¹³ Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.

¹⁴ May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Psalm 118

Psalm 118 (New International Version)

Psalm 118

¹ Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

² Let Israel say:
"His love endures forever."

³ Let the house of Aaron say:
"His love endures forever."

⁴ Let those who fear the LORD say:
"His love endures forever."

⁵ In my anguish I cried to the LORD,
and he answered by setting me free.

⁶ The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?

⁷ The LORD is with me; he is my helper.
I will look in triumph on my enemies.

⁸ It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in man.

⁹ It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to trust in princes.

¹⁰ All the nations surrounded me,
but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

¹¹ They surrounded me on every side,
but in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

¹² They swarmed around me like bees,
but they died out as quickly as burning thorns;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off.

¹³ I was pushed back and about to fall,
but the LORD helped me.

¹⁴ The LORD is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.

¹⁵ Shouts of joy and victory
resound in the tents of the righteous:
"The LORD's right hand has done mighty things!

¹⁶ The LORD's right hand is lifted high;
the LORD's right hand has done mighty things!"

¹⁷ I will not die but live,
and will proclaim what the LORD has done.

¹⁸ The LORD has chastened me severely,
but he has not given me over to death.

¹⁹ Open for me the gates of righteousness;
I will enter and give thanks to the LORD.

²⁰ This is the gate of the LORD
through which the righteous may enter.

²¹ I will give you thanks, for you answered me;
you have become my salvation.

²² The stone the builders rejected
has become the capstone;

²³ the LORD has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes.

²⁴ This is the day the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.

²⁵ O LORD, save us;
O LORD, grant us success.

²⁶ Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD.
From the house of the LORD we bless you. ^a]">[a]

²⁷ The LORD is God,
and he has made his light shine upon us.
With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession
up ^b]">[b] to the horns of the altar.

²⁸ You are my God, and I will give you thanks;
you are my God, and I will exalt you.

his love endures forever.

A psalm of David

A psalm of David. Psalm 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever. Amen

Let your Light Shine

Greetings Divas & Gents,

I pray that each of you have had a wonderful week. Yesterday morning I spoke on Salt and asked how seasoned are you. This morning this old church song can into my head called "This Little Light of Mine" so this morning topic is Light!


Matthew 5:14-16 (New International Version)
Light
14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

Just to break these verses down a little.

Have you ever traveled across a long bridge at night and look across the water and hundreds of miles away you can see a city lit up with lights, and its looks absolutely amazing! If you are like me I begin to wonder whats over there or I want to see what it looks like inside the city! No matter how far away its light can be seen for miles. Now think of this if that city lights were never own when you passed through at night would you even know it was there?

If we live for Christ, we automatically show others what Christ is like. We don't have to announce that we are Christians or brag about it, it will show in our presence, our speech, & our body language. Some of us hide our light by, being quite when we should speak, going along with the crowd, denying the light to be accepted by others, letting sin dim our light, not explaining our light to others, or ignoring the needs of others. Be a Beacon of the Truth! Don't shut your light off to the rest of the world! Let your light Shine!!! I love you all, God Bless!

How seasoned are you?

Greeting Divas & Gents,

This message caught my eye as I flipped through the bible and it gave me the topic of How Seasoned are you. As usual I will break this message down the best way that I can from my point of view. Enjoy!

Matthew 5:13 (NIV)
Salt
13"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

Verse 13 says that we are the salt of the earth and that if we loose our saltiness we are no longer good for anything. Think of it like this, We have several cooks on this site, if you had a seasoning on our shelf that has lost it flavor, what will you do with it? It's useless it does nothing for your food so we throw it out!
If we as Christians make no effort to affect the world around us, then we are of little value to God. If we are too much like the world, we are worthless. We as Christians should not be camouflaged in with everyone else. Instead, We should affect others positively, just as seasoning brings out the best flavor in food. Think about it and ask yourself, How seasoned are you? I love you all, God Bless!

Are you being seduced?

Are you being seduced?

The spirit of seduction is going about throughout the world. We are seeing people being seduced by the enemy in so many different areas of their lives. We are being seduced in our flesh, our relationships, with our money, and even in many of our churches. The spirit of seduction is all around us. I encourage each of you to beware of seducing spirits.

We are all human and capable of getting into our flesh. It’s easy to get sidetracked. And we have to understand that people will get upset, frustrated, discouraged, have times they don’t feel good and we have to ‘make room for their humanity’ . In a relationship built out of love and truth there will be long-suffering and patience. The Lord knows our weaknesses, our strengths and our failures and He knows that sometimes we may do something stupid, but it isn’t because we don’t love him or love our brethren. We have to remember that we are all humans and no human is perfect.
The real battle is against truth. Whenever the enemy is coming against you with a temptation or testing, what he is trying to do is seduce you away from the truth. The Bible speaks of seducing spirits in the last days (1 Timothy 4:1). A seducing spirit is literally a spirit of deception. The Greek word for seduce means to cause to wonder or to lead astray or to seduce. It is close to the Greek word for wondering, as wondering in the wilderness without knowing your direction. The seducing spirit makes the mind to wander. As your mind begins to wander you become confused with a spirit of confusion. How does a seducing spirit seduce. It seduces by causing the mind to wander. So be careful what you allow people persuade you into doing.

Today Seduction is called hustling, smooth talking, the negotiator, wife, husband, children, Mother, & Fathers. Just as Delilah told Samson, "If you loved me..." how many times have you heard this statement, or how many times have you used this on someone? We allow people to persuade us into doing things that we really don't want to do or just to plainly shut them up. In the long run we end up paying for it dearly. So take a moment and think we are seduced in so many ways its crazy. Any form of temptation is a form of seduction, even fast food ads lol! Just be careful how you allow seduction to take a part in your life. Many people look at seduction in just sexual ways but now you see every word have several meanings! I love you all Take care.

Psalm 25(NIV)

Psalm 25(NIV)

1 To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul
2 in you I trust, O my God
Do not let me be put to shame
nor let my enemies triumph over me
3 No one whose hope is in you
will ever be put to shame
but they will be put to shame
who are treacherous without excuse
4 Show me your ways, O LORD
teach me your paths
5 guide me in your truth and teach me
for you are God my Savior
and my hope is in you all day long
6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love
for they are from of old
7 Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways
according to your love remember me
for you are good, O LORD
8 Good and upright is the LORD
therefore he instructs sinners in his ways
9 He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way
10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
for those who keep the demands of his covenant
11 For the sake of your name, O LORD
forgive my iniquity, though it is great
12 Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD
He will instruct him in the way chosen for him
13 He will spend his days in prosperity
and his descendants will inherit the land
14 The LORD confides in those who fear him
he makes his covenant known to them
15 My eyes are ever on the LORD
for only he will release my feet from the snare
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me
for I am lonely and afflicted
17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied
free me from my anguish
18 Look upon my affliction and my distress
and take away all my sins
19 See how my enemies have increased
and how fiercely they hate me
20 Guard my life and rescue me
let me not be put to shame
for I take refuge in you
21 May integrity and uprightness protect me
because my hope is in you
22 Redeem Israel, O God
from all their troubles!

27As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"

28When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"
"Yes, Lord," they replied.

29Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be done to you"; 30and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, "See that no one knows about this."

Whats done in the dark will come to the light!

Greetings Everyone on this beautiful day!!! This morning the Lord gave me a message that was dear to my heart. I have come across a few people that say they are Saved, Sanctified, & Dipped in the Glory and they have so many secrets or living this undercover lifestyle that they think they can hide from their family, friends, spouse, or kids! Don't you know that just like God gave David the gift of Dreams he will reveal you in some for or fashion!
Some of you here are looking for that answer, you can fill the mystery in your relationship, your marriage, or even with your kids. Just trust God to reveal things at the right and perfect time for you and pray that you will be able to handle things the right way. I give you this passage: Whats done in the dark will come to the light!

Daniel 2:17-23 (New International Version)

17 Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. 18 He urged them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that he and his friends might not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19 During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said:
"Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are his.

21 He changes times and seasons;
he sets up kings and deposes them.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.

22 He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.

23 I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers:
You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dream of the king."

I love you all, God Bless.

Psalm 116(NIV)

Greetings All,

Many of us have come a long way from our past, however, we often focus on the issues that we are going through now. One thing that helps me appreciate my now is by thinking back on where the Lord has brought me from! Enjoy

Psalm 116(NIV)

1 I love the LORD, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.

2 Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.

3 The cords of death entangled me,
the anguish of the grave [a] came upon me;
I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.

4 Then I called on the name of the LORD :
"O LORD, save me!"

5 The LORD is gracious and righteous;
our God is full of compassion.

6 The LORD protects the simplehearted;
when I was in great need, he saved me.

7 Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the LORD has been good to you.

8 For you, O LORD, have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,

9 that I may walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.

10 I believed; therefore I said,
"I am greatly afflicted."

11 And in my dismay I said,
"All men are liars."

12 How can I repay the LORD
for all his goodness to me?

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the LORD.

14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the LORD
is the death of his saints.

16 O LORD, truly I am your servant;
I am your servant, the son of your maidservant [c] ;
you have freed me from my chains.

17 I will sacrifice a thank offering to you
and call on the name of the LORD.

18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD
in the presence of all his people,

19 in the courts of the house of the LORD
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD.

Facing Temptation

Greeting Divas & Gents,

I share this pray with you all this morning because this is a prayer is overlooked by many.
This is a prayer for help when facing temptation. David prayed this pray to ask God to protect him and to give him wisdom in accepting criticism. Be open to honest criticism. You never know God may be speaking to you through others. So I hope that you all Enjoy.;

Psalm 141 (New International Version)

Psalm 141
A psalm of David.
1 O LORD, I call to you; come quickly to me.
Hear my voice when I call to you.

2 May my prayer be set before you like incense;
may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.

3 Set a guard over my mouth, O LORD;
keep watch over the door of my lips.

4 Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil,
to take part in wicked deeds
with men who are evildoers;
let me not eat of their delicacies.

5 Let a righteous man [a] strike me—it is a kindness;
let him rebuke me—it is oil on my head.
My head will not refuse it.
Yet my prayer is ever against the deeds of evildoers;

6 their rulers will be thrown down from the cliffs,
and the wicked will learn that my words were well spoken.

7 They will say, "As one plows and breaks up the earth,
so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of the grave. [b] "

8 But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign LORD;
in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death.

9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me,
from the traps set by evildoers.

10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
while I pass by in safety.

13I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.

16If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that. 17All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.

18We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the one who was born of God keeps him safe, and the evil one cannot harm him. 19We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. 20We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true—even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

21Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.

Refuel Yourself!

I pray that each of you have a day filled with blessings and excitement today. Joy and blessings have poured down upon me all weekend. I decided to take myself out of the equation and look at how I could help someone else. I'm always busy doing God's work and I truly love every minute of it, however, I do get discouraged just as everyone else do and that's when I sit down and focus on God. We as people of God have to keep ourselves refueled with God's word before we can continue to go out and attempt to refuel someone else low tank. We can NOT pour the Word of God into someone else when we have not refueled ourselves with the word of God! Imagine you running out of gas on the interstate and you call AAA, when they get there they don't have any gas to give you themselves. Now wouldn't that be messed up. So think about it, God loves a cheerful giver, however, ask yourself...Do I have anything left to give? Am I running low on Fuel? Lets get back to the basics and spend some quality time with our father in heaven! I love you all and God Bless!

Remember tomorrow night we will host our weekly True Divas Conference call at 9pm Eastern Time! Please check home page for details because we have a new conference number!

The Sheep & the Goat, Which animal are you?

The Sheep & the Goat, Which animal are you?
Matthew 25:31-46

31"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'

45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'
46"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

Philippians 4:4-13

Greetings Divas & Gents,

This morning message is just something that was dear to my heart this morning. I hear many complain about their needs but it seems like its more of what they want. I encourage you to look back when you were growing up and see how much of these worldly things you needed then to survive. I ask of you to be content and stop complaining about your situations and allow God to reveal to you what it is he wants you to see. Stop worrying about how to get out the storm and start asking God what is it you want me to learn from this storm.

Philippians 4:4-13 (New International Version)

4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Thanks for Their Gifts
10I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

The Little Children and Jesus

Greetings Divas and Gents,

This passage that was placed on my heart today is very dear to me. This message will be discussed tonight on our conference call. If you are a Parent, Grandparent, Aunt, Uncle, God Parent, a Step Parent, or a playing a role in a child's life you need to be on this call tonight.

I pray that this message touches your spirit and allow you to be on this call tonight.!

The Little Children and Jesus
13People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." 16And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

The LORD Is My Light and My Salvation

Enjoy the word of the Lord today!

The LORD Is My Light and My Salvation
A Psalm of David.
Psalm 27
Of David.
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh,
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.
4 One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.
7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, "Seek his [b] face!"
Your face, LORD, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
O God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
breathing out violence.
13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.

The Cost of Following Jesus

Greetings Divas & Gents,

This morning I ask the Lord to give me something that would make you think. He gave me these scriptures and it just blew my mind.

Matthew 8:18-22 (New International Version)

The Cost of Following Jesus
18When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake. 19Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."

20Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."

21Another disciple said to him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

22But Jesus told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."

To break this down a little bit in these scriptures Jesus is being direct with his people. He was just letting them know that hey this is not going to be easy or comfortable. Following Jesus means great cost and sacrifice and no brownie points from anyone. You will find that following Christ will cost you popularity,friendships,leisure time, treasured habits, relationships, and sometimes even family! But remember that even though the cost of following Jesus is high and may be lonely at times,the VALUE of being Christ disciple is even higher. Following Christ is an investment that last for eternity and yield incredible rewards! So stay focused and stay on the path! I love you all. God Bless!

Final Instructions

Greetings Divas & Gents on this beautiful morning. This morning I was lead to give you all some Final Instructions from 1 Thessalonians 5: 12-28. I pray that this message touches your life.
1 Thessalonians 5: 12-28
12Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. 13Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. 14And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. 15Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.

16Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

19Do not put out the Spirit's fire; 20do not treat prophecies with contempt. 21Test everything. Hold on to the good. 22Avoid every kind of evil.

23May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.

25Brothers, pray for us. 26Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. 27I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.

28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

May God add a Blessing. I love you all.

Being an Active Christian!

Greetings Divas & Gents,

I pray that each of your day starts off to a great start today. I just wanted to first and foremost thank everyone who attended the call last night. Last night call followed up on the scripture we had yesterday morning which was Matthew 3:10. The topic was called "Will you make the Cut?" I will be updating yesterday's blog to fill everyone in who missed it.

Last night call inspired me for this message this morning! We spoke about be Active Christians! So this morning I was flipping through the Bible and I asked the Lord to show me something to encourage my sisters and brothers to active Christians today and he led me to Acts 18: 9-10 and it reads:

9)One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: "Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. 10)For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city."

So my words to you is to be a tree of life today! Plant seed of inspiration, encouragement, understanding, and love into someones life today. That might be all someone needs to gain back their momentum to make it through this week! Be an Active Christian! Don't be the fig tree that didn't bare any fruit, we all know what Jesus did to it! LOL I love you all, God Bless!

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

Luke 24:36-49 (New International Version)

Jesus Appears to the Disciples
36While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

37They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. 38He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds? 39Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have."

40When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet. 41And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?" 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43and he took it and ate it in their presence.

44He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."

45Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 46He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses of these things. 49I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."

I pray that your weekend was awesome! Be prepared to call in to our Tuesday Night Conference Call Tomorrow Night! The Lord has told me to speak about some things that will deliver many of you from some things in your life! This call is going to be one of a kind, it will not be recorded nor repeated by me.

The Resurrection

The Resurrection
1On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.' " 8Then they remembered his words.

9When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. 11But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

Happy Easter!!!

Jesus' Burial

Luke 23 (New International Version)

50-56

Jesus' Burial

⁵⁰Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and upright man, ⁵¹who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea and he was waiting for the kingdom of God. ⁵²Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus' body. ⁵³Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid. ⁵⁴It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was about to begin.

⁵⁵The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. ⁵⁶Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.

Good Friday!

Greetings Divas & Gents,

The Crucifixion
21A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.
22They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull). 23Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.
24And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.
25It was the third hour when they crucified him.
26The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27They crucified two robbers with him, one on his right and one on his left.
29Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, "So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,
30come down from the cross and save yourself!"
31In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. "He saved others," they said, "but he can't save himself!
32Let this Christ, this King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe." Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

The Death of Jesus
33At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
35When some of those standing near heard this, they said, "Listen, he's calling Elijah."
36One man ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down," he said.
37With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.
38The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, "Surely this man was the Son of God!"

This is what happened for you to have a Good Friday!

Love Struck

Greetings Divas & Gents,

This very morning I got up so Love Struck! I was just thinking how much I adore and love this man. I was taking a walk down memory lane and remembered how he held my hand and told me things will be ok, how he loved me for no reason, and how he stayed by my side when I needed him the most. Even when I lashed out on him for no reason...he stayed right there and didn't say one word, he just held me and repeated I love you. I would run off for days, even months without speaking to him; but he never stopped loving me and he always took me back in. When I did everything wrong in our relationship, he continued to do Everything right! Many have looked me in my face and said if I was him I would have left you a long time ago. That's when I said ok enough is enough. I can't keep treating this man like this. I can't continue to live this way. That when I became woman enough to go tho this man and say hey I know I have not been the best person, I know I have done so much wrong,however, I never once forgotten about you and I never stopped loving you. I cried and cried and I begged for his forgiveness and that's when I heard him say, " My Child, I've been waiting for you, I never once gave up on you. I have so many plans for you but just know that this road is not easy, nor is it popular. Just follow my lead and you will be truly blessed."
I have to say on 04/02/06 he gave me a new life and I honored that. No matter how tough things get I never look back nor on the sidelines. I just keep my eyes on Christ for I know he has brought me too far to leave me alone. I wrote all this to say two words... TRUST HIM! I love you all, God Bless!

New International Version (NIV)
Proverbs 3:5,6
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.

"Getting Offened by the Word"

Greetings Divas & Gents,
As I sat here thinking about how many people get offended by the Word of God at times. As for the Lord told me, from day one not to sugar coat any messages he tells me to deliver...so when I host our True Divas conference calls or send out a morning message it intends to offend some more than others. However, I have a job to do, may Father said to keep it 100 not 78% raw & 12% Sugar Coated, so that's what I do. For a while I was worried about people not liking me or mistaking me to be this mean person but God said to me, "they didn't like me either." I have lost so called friends, some people have removed themselves from this site, some don't attend the conference calls anymore, even some members have stop speaking with me all of because they got offended with the Word of God. So this morning I was browsing through my Bible and came across the story were many disciples deserted Jesus (John 6:60-71) The story started off by people not believing that Jesus was from heaven, they were doubting him because he would not give in to their self centered request or put on public acts for them. As they begin to talk about Jesus so did the disciples and was starting to think and grumble that Jesus Teaching was too hard and people may not accept it. People fail to understand that Jesus emphasize Faith not deeds! God's teachings may be hard, difficult to understand, and offensive at times but we have to ask our selves will I give up,will I ignore certain teachings, or will I reject Christ? Instead of all of that we should ask God to show us what the teachings mean and how do they apply to our life. Then have the courage to act on God's truth! I love you all and my God continue to bless each of you.

Psalm 93

Greetings,

Today i just wanted to remind you of how God has an unchanging and almighty nature. His creations should remind us of his great power.

Psalm 93 (New International Version)

Psalm 93

1 The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty;
the LORD is robed in majesty
and is armed with strength.
The world is firmly established;
it cannot be moved.

2 Your throne was established long ago;
you are from all eternity.

3 The seas have lifted up, O LORD,
the seas have lifted up their voice;
the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.

4 Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers of the sea—
the LORD on high is mighty.

5 Your statutes stand firm;
holiness adorns your house
for endless days, O LORD.

Don't forget tonight is our Tuesday night conference call. I love you all and hope to hear you on the call.
