Your Fired

2010-02-18T04:54:00.000-08:00

Food for thought:

We all have been guilty of trying to hold on to someone or something that God has been trying to remove from our lifes. Due to us having an emotional attachment to that person or thing we allow ourselves to hold on to it. However, I am curious why are we holding on to these things. Is it that it's a security issue, the fear of being alone, the fear of not having enough of, the fear of feeling the pain when you break that attachment, or is it the fear of not knowing what happens next?

When you have wasteful things in your life how is that improving the person that you are? Some of us have people that are Spiritual Leeches. Spiritual Leeches are people who latch on to your spirits to pull everything out of you but never pour anything back into you. When you are finish talking with them you feel drained, confused, frustrated, used, or annoyed.

You also have people who are the 2010 version of Judas. These people will walk with you, offer their help, cry with you, pray with you, say you are like family to them, they tell you they love you, and before you know it; they betray you. They are always going behind your back telling your business, stealing your ideals, and who knows; might be trying to sleep with your mate... Just keeping it real!

Now this is the time to reevaluate yourself and ask yourself "how many signs have I ignored from God about these people?" You see some times we get so blind by emotions that we miss all the tell tell signs from God, and it causes us to be in these painful relationships with people. Instead of facing the issue in a Godly way and removing them from our life. No is the time to remove these unequally yoked relationship.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

As I said yesterday in my status:

There comes a point where you have to man up like Donald Trump, look people in the eye and say "You're Fired"! Eliminate the waste in your life today! ~A.Showers~ I love you all and God Bless.

Healthy Living

2009-10-14T10:08:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-08T16:42:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-08T16:40:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-08T16:20:00.000-07:00

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

2009-06-18T04:35:00.000-07:00

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

2009-06-17T04:39:00.000-07:00

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.

2009-06-16T03:56:00.000-07:00

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.

2009-06-14T06:28:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-06-13T05:30:00.000-07:00

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)

2009-06-12T03:44:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-06-10T05:09:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-06-08T04:48:00.001-07:00

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!"

2009-06-05T04:39:00.000-07:00

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 the words of Nike, "Just Do It"

2009-06-03T04:28:00.001-07:00

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!"

2009-06-02T04:08:00.000-07:00

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!

"What are you waiting for?"

2009-06-01T04:55:00.000-07:00

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"

2009-05-30T03:55:00.000-07:00

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"

2009-05-28T04:37:00.001-07:00

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

2009-05-25T04:51:00.000-07:00

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.

Have a Great weekend!

2009-05-23T04:50:00.000-07:00

Greetings Divas & Gents,

I just wanted to take this moment to wish you all a safe weekend! I pray that each of you make it to your destination safe and sound. Enjoy this day and remember that no matter what shows up in your day today you have a choice of how you will react. Think carefully and choose wisely... you never know when it will be your last decision. Take care and God Bless!

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?

2009-05-21T04:06:00.001-07:00

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

2009-05-20T05:10:00.000-07:00

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?

2009-05-19T04:12:00.000-07:00

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...

2009-05-18T04:50:00.000-07:00

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)

2009-05-18T04:48:00.000-07:00

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.
Love you all God Bless!

Trust Him

2009-05-15T02:39:00.001-07:00

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

2009-05-14T02:16:00.000-07:00

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

2009-05-13T05:08:00.001-07:00

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.

²⁹ Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

Let your Light Shine

2009-05-08T04:44:00.000-07:00

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?

2009-05-07T05:16:00.001-07:00

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?

2009-05-06T04:43:00.000-07:00

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)

2009-05-05T04:36:00.000-07:00

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!

Jesus Heals the Blind and Mute

2009-05-04T04:53:00.000-07:00

Greetings Divas & Gents,

Someone here on this site is praying for God to reveal some things to them. You have all been blind, def, & mute to certain situations for whatever reason, but now is the time that everything will be revealed. I don't know who this is for but, once it is revealed its not for you to start conflict or throw things in anyone face. Its just give you time to make a smart decision and a clear way to handle the issue without drama. Just Trust God in this situation and allow him to order your steps. Have the Faith that when he reveal things to you that he will carry you through it. Stay in pray and stay connected to God's people.

Matthew 9:27-30
Jesus Heals the Blind and Mute
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."

I love you all. God Bless. Just know I am here for anyone who needs me. I'm just one call and one email away.

Whats done in the dark will come to the light!

2009-05-01T04:43:00.000-07:00

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)

2009-04-30T04:31:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-29T03:57:00.000-07:00

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.

Your True Diva,

The reason why I do what I do.

2009-04-28T03:52:00.000-07:00

Good Morning Divas & Gents,

Quite often someone ask me why do I get up every morning to write these messages so faithfully. I always say because my Father in Heaven inspires me to. When I came across this message this morning he explained to me what my purpose was for doing this every morning, so I hope you enjoy.

1 John 5
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!

2009-04-27T04:04:00.000-07:00

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?

2009-04-23T04:51:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-22T04:43:00.000-07:00

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.

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

2009-04-20T04:09:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-17T04:32:00.001-07:00

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

2009-04-16T05:15:00.001-07:00

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.

2009-04-15T04:26:00.000-07:00

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!

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

2009-04-13T05:41:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-12T04:42:00.001-07:00

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

2009-04-11T05:53:00.000-07:00

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.

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

2009-04-09T04:26:00.001-07:00

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"

2009-04-08T04:25:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-07T03:41:00.001-07:00

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.

Greetings Divas & Gents,
Today it was placed upon my heart to give you scriptures of God's Protection in the midst of danger. I have to sat that God doesn't promise a world free from danger, but he does promise his help whenever we face danger. I pray that you and your family are covered in Jesus name. I love you all and God Bless.

Psalm 91 (New International Version)
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you make the Most High your dwelling
even the LORD, who is my refuge
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

"Don't Lie to me when God knows your heart!"

2009-04-02T04:07:00.000-07:00

Greetings Divas & Gents, be prepared for the Truth and nothing but the truth this morning! I have to say just as we was on the call Tuesday night, the Lord gave me permission to speak out on some things and he has done so again today. I have to keep it real with all of you. I'm not calling names nor pointing fingers. I'm here to say Don't Volunteer a Lie. Don't say you are going to do something and you don't deliver. For Example: Someone asked me to share the word that they needed help and I did. Several responded and volunteered to help but only one person delivered... Now read this below!

Matthew 21:28-32 (New International Version)

The Parable of the Two Sons
28"What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work today in the vineyard.'
29" 'I will not,' he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.
30"Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, 'I will, sir,' but he did not go.
31"Which of the two did what his father wanted?"
"The first," they answered.
Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.

To break this thing on down, its saying that the son who said he would obey and didn't represented many people that says the want to do God's will to be a blessing and they never deliver. That is considered to being disobedient to God, its also called being phony, lying, or just going through the motions. It is dangerous to pretend to obey God when our hearts are far from him because God know our TRUE intentions, Our actions must match our words! I pray and ask each of you to think before you speak. I love you all God Bless!

"Dressed and Ready to Go"

2009-03-31T04:15:00.000-07:00

Greetings Divas & Gents! I pray that everyone is had a beautiful day yesterday and an even better one today. I'm sorry guys but I have to tell you all about my day yesterday! Very interesting day but I will draw back to the morning message.

As many of you know that I am a Licensed Massage Therapist. Yesterday I was taking the day off and was going to relax all day. I had an appointment to see my Chiropractor (which I happen to work with) at noon. As I was on my way to see my Chiropractor, I was about 10 minutes away from the office when he called and said "Hey Angela are you coming for your appointment today?" I said, "yes doc whats up?" He replied, " One of your hockey players want to schedule an appointment with you right after your session with me. He's hurting really bad can you take this appointment? I know its last minute and you might have to go back and get your things." I immediately thought, I wasn't planning on this today,however, I am prepared because I never go anywhere without my massage supplies!!! so I said, "Of course, I can do it and I will be there shortly." As I pulled up in less than ten minutes, doc looked at me and said, wow Angela did you have to get your supplies and then come back? If so that sure was quick!" (I live 15-20 away from the office to remind you.) I said, Doc I'm always prepared! I never leave home without my supplies, because you never know when duty calls."

I gave you this story because, this morning I came across Luke 12:35-40. It speaks about Jesus warns about preparing for his Homecoming. After reading those scriptures I immediately thought what if I was not ready yesterday? I would have missed out on unexpected money, my most faithful client would have still been in pain, and I would have been upset because I miss out on an opportunity to help someone who really needed my help. You see, when Jesus comes back for you; you need to be dressed and ready to go! He will not continue to wait around to see what decision you are going to make. I advise each of you to be ready to roll at any given moment. You never know when your name is next on the roll call. I love u all. God Bless!

Psalm 23

2009-03-30T04:01:00.000-07:00

Greeting Divas & Gents! The Lord put this prayer on my heart this morning and I am sharing it with each of you. Take this prayer and apply it to your life today. I love you all and God Bless!

Psalm 23 (New International Version)

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. Amen

Understanding what you don't understand

2009-03-27T07:18:00.000-07:00

Many people today don't understand what and why they are going through some things at this point in their lives, but God gave me some scriptures to ease your spirit this morning. I advise you to Let Go and Let God, as long as you hold on to what God is trying to separate you from, you will continue to fight a battle that is not yours! I love you all and God Bless.

John 13:7 (New International Version)
7Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."

Matthew 6:33-34 (New International Version)
33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Jeremiah 29:11-14 (New International Version)
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity. [a] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile."

Are you a messenger for Christ?

2009-03-26T04:04:00.001-07:00

Greetings Everyone,

I pray that all is well with each of you was we begin to get closer to the end of this wonderful week. I have a question to ask each of you this morning. How many people have you talked to about God this week? I'm not talking about on Tuesday conference calls,Wednesday Bible Study, Sunday or Saturday service. I'm talking about with friend, family , or with co workers. Many of us call ourselves Christians but are too ashamed to speak about God to your unsaved friends. Many call themselves Christians but never take out the time to have pray with your spouse and kids,unless its dinner time or something is terrible wrong. We as Christians should be messengers for Christ on a daily bases and not just when you are surrounded by saints! This morning God gave me a me from Luke 10: 1-24 This is the passage when Jesus sends out 72 messengers and when they return. These verses made me sit and wonder about some thing. I spread the gospel everywhere I go so therefore I am a messenger and the things that I see and hear that no one else does is all about my commitment to my Father. People use to call me weird but Jesus said, "these are the gifts I have given you my child." I dare you to share the gospel with as many people as possible and see how your life will be blessed.

Imitating Christ's Humility

2009-03-25T18:11:00.001-07:00

Greetings Divas,

I want too thank all of you who attended our conference call last night. It fills my heart with joy to know that each of you have taken the time to call in and fellowship with your fellow Divas and Gents! Once again I thank you.

This morning message was given to me by our Father. The past few days he allowed me to type and speak from my heart while he guided me and gave me words to say. However, this morning he gave me these words from the Bible and said they need no explanation. I am to share with you this wonderful topic called:
Imitating Christ's Humility this can be found in Philippians 2:1-11. I pray that you all read this message and have a clear understanding of what it means. If you need me to define any of these scriptures for you please feel free to ask me. I love you all , God Bless. Remember to spend your time wisely.

I Dare you to be Different!

2009-03-24T03:42:00.000-07:00

"Are you living your soul purpose?"

Many people wonder why they are not successful, why they struggle so much, why they hate their job, or why they feel like it's something else that they are suppose to do in life. What I was given this morning is because you are not doing what the Lord has called you to do. Many of us have gifts that we refuse to use or too ashamed to use. We also ignore our gifts due to fear of failing in God's eye. Some of us even feel like we are not worthy to do God's work because of all we have done wrong. I'm here to tell you, our God is a forgiving God! We just have to Go to him and let go of everything that has ever hurt us and everything we have done to hurt others that we haven't forgiven ourselves for. Once you connect and stay plugged in to Jesus your Soul Purpose is revealed. We as God's children are not meant to struggle, yes we all have rough time but I look at those as Faith exercises. Its time that we stop asking God for blessings and we can't even do the work that he has put in us to do. That's just like asking your boss to reward you for not doing any work! Stop complaining and start Praying. Stop looking for a hand out, stop begging, and do what God has put on your heart to do! Stop being afraid and start stepping out on Faith! Start doing things that will benefit people other than just yourself! We all have a life purpose, however, are you ready to start your journey into your soul purpose? I dare you to be Different! Step out on Faith and Walk into your Soul Purpose. I guarantee you life will begin to shift. I love you all & God Bless.

"The Choice is Yours"

2009-03-23T04:38:00.000-07:00

Greeting Divas on this Glorious morning. I pray that each of you had a wonderful weekend. May your day be filled with blessings and your body,mind, and spirit is covered in the blood of Jesus!
So many things will happen today but you have the freedom of choice. You have the power to turn a negative into a positive just by the way you react. Life is full of temptations. Just as Jesus was walking through the desert after fasting for 40 days, temptation was speaking to him saying I know you're hungry, you can turn these stones to bread, but Jesus said satan get thee be hind me and choose to stay on the path. We have to start making decisions wisely by looking at our purpose for doing things. Jesus had one purpose for walking this earth and that was to die for us. He didn't let any man, woman, hunger, beatings, insults, lies, or disbelievers distract him from his purpose. We need to learn to walk in faith, courage, wisdom, and strength. Even though we may be tempted to do some things, we shall stay on our path for one reason, and that is to meet the man that died for you. I love you all and God Bless.

I dare you to be different today. Get your family together and get in a circle in your living room and simply pray for each other. You wonder why thing are going wrong in your house, have you heard that the family that prays together stays together. Grab your spouse, kids, and even the pets and each of you say a prayer for one another, and feel the energy shift in the house! I love you all. God Bless!!!

"Un-Block Your Blessings"

2009-03-20T04:28:00.000-07:00

Greetings Divas,

I come to you this morning full of life, love, and gratitude. For the past few days we been talking about being grateful, and the more I think about the things I am grateful for the more humble I become.
I just wanted to take out the time and let each of you know that I appreciate each and every one of you. I have connected with each of you in a different way. Some of you I talk to on a daily bases, some I've called, some of you have called me, many of you email me, and some of you I have met! Just think as I confessed about a month ago I had issues with building relationships with women due to my past life. I always thought that someone was out to get me. Now look what I have been delivered from... I have over 300 women I can call my sisters! I was delivered from this issue by following God's lead when I created this site. When I stated this site on October 5 of 2008, I had a wall up so high with women that no one could see over. Everyday the Lord worked with me and he allowed me to see that many of you women are just like me. Many of you have been through the same issues I have been through and God opened my eyes and said "these are your Sisters, the only thing different is your names. I made you all the same, you all were made perfect by me. What you do to and for your Sisters you have done to me!" I know you are wondering why I share this story.
Its some of you wondering why you are not being blessed. If you ask that question, I ask you to step outside yourself and look into your life. You have blocked your own blessings. You have not forgiven someone or yourself. You holding a grudge on your kids father, a cousin, your mother, father, grandparent, a ex-boyfriend/husband, old friend, someone who molested you, abused you, broken your heart, and etc... Let Go and Let God. The day I decided to let go and let God he poured more blessings on me that I could bare. If he did it for me he can do it for you. I love you all take care.

"Later could be too Later"

2009-03-19T03:53:00.000-07:00

I woke up this morning with a praise in my spirit. I had this song I was singing: I will bless the Lord!!! Then it says He has done great thing so I will bless the Lord!

Our Father deserves the praise! We need to wake up every morning with a praise in our spirit that is itching to get out.

Last night I was on facebook before I went to bed, I saw a friend that I had approved had put up some new pictures. I'm nosy so I head over to look at them. She had some beautiful pictures of this beautiful little girl, herself, and her husband. I flipped through a few more and I saw the beautiful little girl dressed up like she was coming from church, she was laying there sleeping...the Lord said sweetheart look again. I looked again and I saw flowers in the back ground and the lid of a casket. This little girl was gone and was no more than the age of three or four. I didn't realize why I was typing this message until now when the Lord said to tell his people that," As fast as I give, I can take it away. So be grateful and appreciate what you have now because it could be gone in a matter of minutes." My Sisters and Brothers I dare you to give God praise right there where you are right now! He selected You as a child of a second chance today, with that aloe He is Worthy to be Praised! Glory to God. Don't put things off till later because your later might be too late. I love you all. God Bless!

"When are you going to carry your own cross?"

2009-03-18T04:12:00.000-07:00

Greetings Divas,

I sat and spoke with my Father in Heaven this morning and I asked him, " Father what is you want me to tell your people today?" Without hesitation he said to me, " Ask them When are they going to carry their own cross?" So I'm asking you this morning, "When are you going to Pick up your cross?"
As I was speaking about complaining and always blaming satan or the devil about things that we say and do on the call last night. I was given this vision of Jesus carrying this heavy cross, bleeding, being beaten, spit on, and going through all of that pain for us. As i keep speaking he look me dead in the face and said, "I did this for each of you." We as people are never satisfied and complain about everything. We always have someone to blame for what we did or said. We are always giving excuses about thing we did or didn't do. My Father said its time for you to carry your own cross! Its time for you to take responsibility for your actions. Its time to stop pointing the finger at satan when you have brought several things upon yourself for not being obedient! I have to be honest sometimes we blame satan for things that we did ourselves. I see why satan is always on your butt because, you are blaming things on him that he didn't do. If you were always blaming things on me that I didn't do I would be upset too. Stop blaming the economy for you being broke because you wasn't spending money wisely before it got this bad anyway! Stop blaming your parents for the way you turned out in life because you are now of age and have the power to turn that around! Stop blaming your spouse for the marriage going bad when it was things that you were doing that wasn't right. Stop blaming and start picking up your cross! in Matthew 10:38 Jesus said: "Anyone who does NOT take his cross and follow me is not WORTHY of me! So now what are you going to do?

"We are Healed"

2009-03-17T05:18:00.000-07:00

Greetings Divas,

The past few days I have not been feeling well, however, I'm still serving and praising my Lord and Savior! As I sit here now I am in pain but I refuse to let it take my joy. As I was flipping through the Bible the Lord allowed me to see what he has done for others. I opened up the book of Mark 1:29-34 Where Jesus Heals Peter's Mother-in-Law and many others! I flip to another page: Mark1:40-45 when Jesus heals a Man with Leprosy! I'm not done yet guys LOL!!! Mark 2:1-12 Jesus heals a Paralyzed Man! I jump over to Mark 3:1-6 when Jesus heals a man's hand on the Sabbath! Oh WOW I didn't stop there guys I kept moving through the book of Mark and came up on Mark 5:21-43 when Jesus really showed out by Healing a bleeding woman and restoring a girl to life!
As you can see the book of Mark is full of healing, because the list doesn't just stop there it just keep going and going! So for anyone who needs Healing I encourage you to read the book of Mark where Jesus has healed all these people and have Faith that you are healed by his Word! I love you all, God Bless.

"Now or Never"

2009-03-16T04:43:00.000-07:00

Greeting Divas,

I pray that each of you had a wonderful weekend. I'm going to be quick an to the point this morning. Have any of you heard the phrase "Now or Never?" I'm sure you have, however, what does that mean to you? Well what I mean by now or never is real simple. Several of you may be thinking, "When is it my time to be blessed?" Have God forgotten about me?" "I've sown several seeds but nothing is coming back in return." If these are some of the things that have crossed your mind, Now or Never is the phrase just for you. Why? you may ask... because it mean Deal with your NOW or you will Never get to the next level! You know how we use to play video games and get to a hard level, as much as we want to get to the next level, we can't because we have not cleared everything off the board we are currently on! Some of us can't focus on today because we are too worried about whats going to happen tomorrow. Many People think only two ways, in the Past or in the Future. When are you going to think about your NOW and appreciate it. You now is preparing you for your tomorrow. So take the advantage of the time you have in your now and get some things together, so your tomorrow can begin to shift. Your life CAN NOT change if you don't decide to change at least one thing in it. When you change that one thing you allow your life to shift just a little and that may be all you need to get to the Next Level!
Appreciate what you have now and be thankful, because some people have it worst than you do. I love you all. Take care.

Prasie your way out of your Lion's Den!

2009-03-13T04:25:00.000-07:00

"Today is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it!"

Wow is all I can say this morning, The Lord has given me a message for those of you who may be struggling with work. You feel like people are working against you instead of with you. It may be someone in your family or circle of friends you feel that way about, however, it could be someone who just sit back and hate to see you succeed. I come to you and I say stay focused, stay on the path and stay full of Faith. This morning I was lead to the story of Daniel in the Lions Den found in Daniel 6:16-28. But first to be honest I was lead to Jeremiah 29:11 as I was about to rejoice I was then lead to Daniel 6:16-28. Jesus said I showed you their plan for you to encourage them and let them know that these are my plans for them, but this is what they are going through right now. Tell my people to focus on me and have the Faith that Daniel did and these are the plans I have for them." So my Sisters and Brothers, someone may have accused you, mislead you, or plotted against you to put you in your Lions Den. God shows me that your lions den is Unemployment or lack of work, however he says hold on and keep praising him. He also just told me ( I warn you because you might not like this but this is what the Lord put in my spirit to say) You are going through this for a reason! He said that if you really appreciated the things that you were Blessed with before you will not be going through this right now. A man that is trusted with a little can be trusted with a lot! If he can't trust you with a little then don't ask for a lot because you are not getting it! When you learn to appreciate the things that you have and stop complaining about what you don't have or whats always going wrong, then you will see your blessings arrive in due time!" Ask yourself are you ready to see the blueprints of your future? If so keep FAITH!

Spiritual Detox

2009-03-12T04:48:00.000-07:00

I come to you this morning to say two Words: Spiritual Detox

I have to confess to you all that theses past few weeks my Spirit has been cluttered due to so much going on, and I have to be honest it wasn't even my issues. Being a servant for God means being a servant for his people. As you all may recall in John 13:5 it starts to tell the story of how Jesus washed the disciples feet and he used the towel that he had wrapped around him to dry off their feet. Stop right there and think, their shoes was merely nothing, their feet got so dirty, even when washing with water alone Jesus still got some residue on that towel from their feet (OMG I feel a praise in this room)! After washing twelve men feet and wiping them all clean with the same white towel he had wrapped around him, You can't tell me that towel wasn't dirty. As he finished and stood up guess what; the towel dropped down and landed on his flesh. Jesus allowed the dirt from other men to touch him, even when he knew Judas was going to betray him he allowed his dirt to get on him; he still served him like everyone else! WOW! So as we serve Gods people our spirit picks up their dirt and we have to go to Jesus to serve us and cleanse our spirits! My spirit was so cluttered but I was still able to allow Jesus to use me and work through me, however, I felt as if I couldn't receive as I should have. So I spent most of my day in the Word yesterday and I tell you the Jesus put me through a spiritual Detox! By 8:30 last night I was bouncing off the wall! I was revealed so many things and he spoke to me on so many levels. This morning it fells good to be personally severed by Jesus himself! I feel like I have just had my feet washed my My Father! I feel renewed, refreshed, and rejuvenated! If you are feeling cluttered, confused, unsure, or feel like its something holding you back. I advise you to take a day and go through a spiritual detox. I love you all.

My 101 Training with God!

2009-03-11T04:32:00.000-07:00

Praise God on this glorious morning! Today is the day the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it!

Greetings Divas,
I have to say on last night conference call we did it again. Prayer was exactly what we needed last night. I thank each of you sisters for feeling comfortable enough around your sisters to share your prayer request with us. I applaud each of you for that, that show how much our sisterhood have grown.

This morning message is something that I truly had to brace myself for. I was struggling with some thing in my spirit and I wanted to vent so bad but God said "HUSH my child your mouth is too slick. I have to teach you how to speak the way I want you to speak!" A sister gave me Ecclesiastes 3 yesterday and I read it this morning, that message hit home and I said you right Lord, there is a time for everything. Then the Lord led me to Ecclesiastes 5:1-7, Guys those words hit me so hard I almost fell out my seat! God said "Now this is how you handle things. You handle them with MY Words and not your own!!!" Then he went own to give me Deuteronomy 23:21-23, Proverbs 20:25, and Matthew 5:33. Gad gave me this message to give to each of you, but he also gave me this Word to teach me how to Speak God like on issues that my flesh seems to get ghetto with lol.
Thank God for the patience to teach me and for dealing with my flesh! I pray that you all take these scriptures, read them, and apply
them to your life. I love you all! God Bless.

2009-03-10T04:56:00.000-07:00

This morning I was sitting here trying to see what was going to be spoken on this morning. I just happen to look up from my Bible and I read the back of this card I had written on, it said "It's my time!" That right It is my time! Its OUR time! Its our time to be blessed. Its our time to be successful, Its our time to be set free from debt. Its our time to be drug free. Its our time to be set free from adultery. It's our time to be set free from lies. Its our time to be a blessing to someone other than our family and loved ones. It our time to be the one to forgive and stop holding grudges. Its our time to stop denying that we have flaws just like everyone else do. Its our time to be delivered from depression. Its our time to be Healed from ALL Illness and Sickness! Its our time, however the question is how bad do you want it? How far will you go to make sure you are delivered from this things? I read Luke 8:40-56 and it spoke on the Lady that had the issue with blood. They said the crowd was packed with thousands the disciples were surrounding Jesus real close so they can all keep up. They said the crowd almost crushed him. So you can imagine this crowd was like it was when Obama was getting sworn in as president. This lady fought her way through thousands of people. She pushed, crawled, jumped or maybe even stepped on some people but she did not give up until she got close enough to touch Jesus! She made it up in her mind that this is my time to be healed and nothing is going to stop me from getting my healing! So ask yourself Can I fight against the storm to get to my blessing? I love you all!

Are you Blocking your own Blessings?

2009-03-09T05:45:00.000-07:00

Greetings Everyone,

This weekend was such a beautiful weekend and I hope that each of you got a chance to enjoy it. Now its Monday and over the weekend I ask you all to look back over your week and see where you could have done some improvement. Today is the day to start checking things off on your list. If you haven't made a list yet today is the day to make one and get started on it. This list should have everything one it that you feel you need to improve on in your life. Sometimes its the small things that we think of as nothing that blocks our blessings. If you have done something and didn't apologize, if you have lied to someone, if you have done someone wrong, talked behind someone back, given someone a hard time for nothing, not being considerate of others feelings, always keeping up gossip, cheating on your spouse, sleeping with your friends partner,holding a grudge... Whatever it is you need to fix it. As one of my Great friends said " Even if its wasn't my fault, its was my job to apologize
just to fix the relationship in order to receive my blessings!" We have to humble ourselves and stop being stubborn! I hate to tell you Stubbornness won't get you into heaven!

The verse for today is Matthew 25:40 and it reads:
The King will reply, "I tell you the truth, WHATEVER you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you have done for me.

The verse says it all, we are all God's children and what we do to each other and what we say about each other we have do it to him! So think about that today. If that don't straighten you out and almost bring you to tears, you need to ask God to allow you to see your faults! I love you all, Have a beautiful day!

Expecting a Blessing

2009-03-06T04:41:00.001-08:00

Greetings my fellow Divas,
I come to you full of life and energy. I am expecting a great blessing from God today! Why? Because we should all wake up with some sort of expectation. We should always expect the best from our Father. When is the last time you ask the Lord to Bless YOU? Yeah I may sound a little selfish to some of you but our Father wants us to ask him for things also, instead of waiting until we are in trouble, a bill is way overdue, sickness has came upon us, or when we are facing unemployment. I've learned that when I pray, I have three prayers that I pray. I pray for each of you, my family, and I also say a special prayer for myself. I get up everyday and ask for a new blessing for that day, and guess what he delivers EVERYDAY! He never said stop asking me for blessings. You can never overdraft on blessings. God said ask and you shall receive, so that's what I do! However, as many have said, God don't Bless no Mess! So get yourself in his presence on a daily routine and get to know your
Father, build a relationship with him, don't treat him like he's your Sugar Daddy!
Just when you think every door is lock, every window has been boarded up, and there is no way out; God will come and snatch the roof off that join to get to his child. Never think for a second that he can't bless you, sometimes we have to humble ourselves in order to see the small blessings. Today I give to you Proverbs 3rd chapter to read! Yes the whole chapter. It's about the Future Benefits of Wisdom something we all need to study and attempt to perfect so we can cash in on our benefits! I pray that this message wake someone up today and start them on a new journey for Christ. If you need me I'm always here. I love you all and God Bless.

Be Blessed by Being a Blessing

2009-03-05T04:46:00.000-08:00

Greetings Divas,

I pray that all have had a wonderful night and it leads into a beautiful day today. I just wanted to remind you all of how blessed you are. We are here in a sound mind and a healed body. We have more than we truly deserve. We have homeless people out living on the streets with no food, heat, nor a warm bed to sleep in. Yet we worry about our problem; when someone else situation is far greater than ours. Next time you sit down to have a pity party and begin to complain about the huge storm that showed up in your life, begin to think about those who are less fortunate than you and begin to pray for them and thank God that you are not in their position. Always remember that No matter what you are going through, God will always be there to guide you through. I pray that this message make you think about how blessed you are, even in the middle of your storm You are still Blessed! Today I give you Proverbs 19:2 This scripture is to make you think I have the power in my big mouth! Whatever I speak , I can speak it into existence. I can speak life or death over any situation that occurs in my life. I encourage each of you to go out and speak life into one person today. I challenge each of you to just walk up to at least one person and ask them can you pray for them today. Its someone out there who needs God's Work poured into their spirit on this very day. Don't be afraid to do what God has lead others to do for you. The only way to be blessed is to be a blessing. I love you all. God Bless.

My Divas are worth more than anything man alone can offer you.

Get your Swagger Back!!!

2009-03-03T04:27:00.001-08:00

I pray that everyone is get to their destination safe and unharmed today. I have come a cross quite a few people in the past few days that really need a boost in their Spirit! Your storm is over now, however, its time to clean up the debris that the storm has left in you life. I have two scriptures that will surely help you. The first scripture is Philippians 4: 13 verse and it says "I can do all things through him who gives me strength." The next scripture is Philippians 4:19 and it reads "And my God will meet all your needs, according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." I advise each of you who have been going through a tremendous storm that has mentally, physically, and spiritually, taken a toll on you to read these scriptures. Read them as many times a day that you need to. Read them with confidence and full of Faith, and I guarantee you will have your swagger back in no time! I love you all and God Bless.

It's March ... so Walk It Out!

2009-03-02T06:04:00.000-08:00

Blessings to each of you on the Beautiful Monday morning. Many of us have had some trying times in the month of February but thank God we have made it into the month of March! In life we will always have stumbling block, however , you have to decide if are going to leap over it, stand and stare at it, or walk around it. However if you have enough Faith you can move a mountain. As a friend told me last night, He said face our Giant just as David did. How can you loose when you have God on your side? Some of us are in bondage of fear, sorrow, depression, financial, lust, adultery, lying, etc... but we are too afraid to step up to the plate and fight these demons off. We have already accepted defeat in our minds and begin to just let things go with the flow. Its time to fight back and release yourself from whatever bondage you are in! We are in the month of March and we need to get a hold of ourselves and Walk IT Out! We have to P.U.S.H. (pray until something happens) through the pain
and finish this race. I found this scripture this morning that just may bless your life it is Isaiah 40:29-31 verse. I pray that this message motivates you to take a stand and face your Giant, don't think about how big your giant is think about How Big our God is! I love you all. Have a Beautiful day.

"You all have a choice."

2009-02-26T05:04:00.000-08:00

Greetings on this wonderful morning. I pray that each of you and your families are doing well. This morning I prayed and ask the Lord to show me what he wanted me to deliver to you all this morning.
When I grabbed my Bible and opened it up the Lord said to me "You all have a choice." I asked, "OK Lord what is it?" He said, " "Its only two roads to travel in life, there is no service roads, nor rest stops." After hearing that He gave me Psalms 1: 1-6.
In Psalms 1:1-6 it tells about Life's Two roads. The life of the faithful person is contrasted with the life of the faithless. After reading this passage I quickly understood what my Father was telling me. He was saying either you are saved or you're not! You might can fool man kind but you can't fool God. So He's right we have a choice. We can travel the Highway to Heaven or the back road to Hell. He said there is no service roads. You can only go North or South. Driving East and West will only have you coming back to where you started. So choose your route wisely on this journey and ask Our Father in Heaver cover everyone of your steps. I love you all. God Bless!

"There is hope in your future!"

2009-02-25T04:09:00.000-08:00

Greetings o this cold winter morning. I pray that each of you are doing well.
We started off 2009 with a boom. Now its the end of February and the Lord has shown me that some of us have hit a rough spot, some of us have begin to doubt, and most of all some of you have taken issues into your own hand instead of fully depending on him!
Some of you have lost jobs, houses,family members, cars, filed bankruptcy, utilities been turned off, going through divorce, and etc... it looks as if you have given up already, because you feel that there is nothing you can do. Well I'm here to tell you there is hope, because God said so! All you have to do is Step Aside and let God do his work.
This morning God gave me a message to tell each of you "There is hope in your future!" Read Jeremiah 31:16-17. May God add a blessing to this word. I love you all and take care.

Daniel 6 1-28

2009-02-23T04:07:00.001-08:00

Greeting on this wonderful Monday morning. I am so excited that today is Monday. It is our weekly Monday night conference call tonight and boy do I have a treat for you guys. So please if you can attend the cal tonight.

This morning I was given the message from Daniel 6 1-28. and I just have to say wow. God really showed up and showed out for Daniel. In this story it shows us that no matter how bad the outcome may look, but as long as you Trust God and have Faith.... he will come to your rescue! See some of us look at the situation and predict our outcome, when you do not know what the Lord has planned for us. So of us give up at the beginning of the situation, before we even ask God for help. We as Christians need to get it together and get a backbone! We need to stop praising God at church and on these conference calls every Monday ; when we a quick to back down, back slide, and back out as soon as a Severe Storm forms in our lives. You see, we need the courage of Daniel! When this were not looking in his favor, he begin to pray and trust God, he was brought out of the lions den without a mark on his body or a rip in this clothes! I encourage each of you to read this passage and find that strength
and courage of Daniel that is inside of you. I hope to hear each of you on the conference call tonight!

Greeting Divas,

I pray that each of you are doing well. I can't stress how important it is to stay in prayer. Even when things are not looking its best, our heart is heavy, and our mind is to cluttered; we still need to force ourselves to pray. I advise each of you to surround yourselves around positive, God fearing people to help keep you focused in your darkest hour. Praise God even when you feel like you don't have a reason to pray.

This morning message is Mary Song of Praise. it can be found in Luke 1:46-55. I pray this these scriptures allow you to give God praise for the thing he have done and the things he have plans to do in your life. Remember keep our community in prayer because some of us are really troubled at this time. I love you all. God Bless

What will you do for HIM?

2009-02-13T04:10:00.000-08:00

I have gotten up several times this morning. I was awaken at about 2am this morning by a nudge from God. As I opened my eyes I saw that there had been a plane crash in NY that hit a house with two people in it. There were 49 people on the plane, everyone of them died and one person in the house the plane crashed into died. As I immediately prayed for their families I dozed back off to sleep. I was the awaken by God's nudge again around 3am. The news then stated that the area where this plane crashed the housing was extremely close and they couldn't see how this plane didn't wipe out more than that one house. That's when God said "see, just when you think things are too far out of control, I'm still in control." Then I thought about the people that had just passed away, did they have their life committed to Jesus? Did they have one last chance to ask for forgiveness? Did they forgive those who did wrong to them? These people had no clue that when they stepped on that plane they would
not get off; but God did... Death don't always come in slow sickness, or a long struggling death of diseases. Death can come so quick, as soon as someone blinks their eyes you could be gone. I'm not asking you, however, I am begging you to get your house in order! Today just might be one of our last days one this earth. Who knows what will happen once we step out today. As I sit here the only verse that comes to my head is:
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world the he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Ask yourself if He can do that for you...What will you do for HIM? I love you all.

Life by the Spirit

2009-02-11T04:49:00.000-08:00

I was sitting here focused on the Word this morning when several thoughts came to mind. As I flipped through the Bible, yesterday flashed through my mind. My day started off rough and by noon I was completely furious. As I say down made myself laugh and begin to focus on God, my whole day turned around! So I'm encouraging you all to stay focused on God and those mishaps can turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
The passage for today is from Galatians 6:16-26. This message is about Life by the Spirit. God have revealed some things to me and this is something that someone of us here really need to read. I'm not pointing fingers, but you know who you are. Don't worry God didn't show me faces but he did show me your spirit. My job is to keep feeding you the Word, not to Judge you. I ask you all to take a look at yourselves and see if anything considered an act of sinful nature in those scriptures house in your spirit? Don't be offended by what the Lords give me, I'm just doing what he ask of me. Trust me I get Beat Down by the Word often in these messages, however, it strengthens me. I don't get mad at God, or whoever he sends my way with a message. I humble myself and take what was given and I grow from that. Every message isn't going to be Amen, Shouting, and crying...its going to be the RAW, Uncut TRUTH! If it hurts your feelings Get mad with God not me! I'm not a minister, pastor, evangelist, prophet nor a prophetess. I'm just a Woman of God who refuse to let my Sisters and Brothers fail because of lack of knowledge, support, or motivation! Understand that I love each of you and I always extend my hand to help, however, as many of you know I will NOT sugar coat anything...I will keep it brutally honest. Take Care and God Bless.

Irreplaceable

2009-02-10T04:17:00.000-08:00

Wow this morning God gave me a message that had me in here rolling! I was sitting in here thumbing through the Bible and the Lord put Beyonce's song "Irreplaceable" in my head. If you don't know the song says To the left, to the left! Then the song goes on to say "you must don't know bout me I'm irreplaceable!" I was really tripping because I was thinking why is this song stuck in my head this early in the morning? That's when the Lord showed through scripture!
Matthew 25:31-46 Jesus tells about the final Judgment. As I read this message it spoke on how God separated people from one another as shepherds separated sheep from the goat! WOW I have to shut it down right here because I feel a sermon brewing up in my spirit!!! My God is so worthy of the praise. Please read this message this morning. As that song plays back in my head God speaks to me through every single Word. God IS Irreplaceable! We need to get it together before God tell us to step to the Left! If you clearly haven't heard the song please listen to it first and then read your passage. Remember God speaks in parables at times, we just have to use our brain and his guidance to see what the message means! I love you all. Have a Beautiful Day!!!

"Living Sacrifices"

2009-02-09T04:05:00.000-08:00

Greetings on this beautiful Monday Morning! I've been sitting here waiting on God to give me a word this morning and he gave me several to choose from. God is still speaking to me about marriage. So I know someone here is going through a difficult time through their marriage. He told me to tell to just come to him, and allow him to do what he needs to do. You need to stop trying to control your issue because you can not handle this battle alone!

Today he gave me the message of "Living Sacrifices" it is from Romans 12:1-21. I ask each of you to read this chapter and see where you can make your living sacrifice. I love you all and take care.
