A God Who Delivers!

When God makes a promise He WILL be faithful to deliver!  I have had some of the most precious conversations with Daddy God recently and they have filled my spirit with a joy that is beyond what I have ever experienced before.  I love Him so much and it just amazes me that His love back to me just grows bigger and bigger and roots itself deeper and deeper! 

I had the privilege last night to share my testimony with a group of ladies that have such a love for the Lord.  I just love talking about how amazing God is!!!  I believe He spoke through me and touched hearts.  I felt such a freedom last night as I spoke!  I believe the Lord has been preparing me for this time and this journey. 

I am thankful for His GRACE and give Him all the GLORY for this life!!!  HE IS GOOD!!  SO GOOD!!!
This life of no limits is available to anyone who dares to claims it!  Jesus died for us to have it and He lives now to be glorified because of it!  My heart is just so full and I desire to pour the overflow into others only to be filled over and over again! 

Be encouraged today that YOU are LOVED!!!  Open yourself to receive the blessing so that you can BE A BLESSING! 

Believe Big, Receive Big!

WOW!  That is the best word I can come up with to describe what Daddy God is up to in my life!!!  His call on my life and my dreams have become one in the same =)  I cannot believe or dream bigger than what He has planned!  There is such a JOY and EXCITEMENT in my spirit that I can hardly contain it!  I have been given the honor of being invited to speak to a group of women tomorrow and I cannot wait for the Holy Spirit to minister to us.  I am believing for encouragement and love, open hearts and healing, letting go and new beginnings!!!  This is just the beginning of an amazing road,  fulfilling the destiny I was created and prepared for! 

I am completely open to go where He leads =)  My heart is His! 

Trust me when I say if you BELIEVE BIG, you will RECEIVE BIG!  The are NO LIMITS with Daddy God!!!  For so many years I put limits on what God could do, not just for me, but through me.  Not anymore!!!   I am living a life with no limits =)  I'm believing it and trusting Him for it.  All the messages, phone calls and emails I have received gives stregnth to my heart and confirms what He has imparted to me!

To BELIEVE all you have to do is make the choice to BELIEVE!  Yes, it really is that easy!  Don't let the enemy deceive you into thinking it's hard!  We only have to give up control and allowing Him to fulfill our destiny! 

So the journey continues and the LOVE of Daddy God covers us so perfectly.  His Word is truth and it is perfect and it is SO WORTH planting in our hearts!  The harvest is NOW so lets get out in the fields =) 

Mustard Seed

Matthew 13:31-32    He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. ³² Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”

We hear a lot about having faith as small as a mustard seed but I think we miss what is beyond that small seed.  We get a bit comfortable with that small faith.  A seed doesn't stay a seed forever!  You plant the seed and it either grows or dies!!!  It all depends on how it is cared for. The mustard seed is the smallest but when it grows it becomes a tree large enough to be a shelter!!!  That is amazing to me!  That is what WE are to do...become so strong in Christ that we are shelter!  We are not small and meek, clinging onto the smallest of faith.  We allow Daddy God to GROW us up big and strong in all that He is!  ALL that He created us to be!!! 

What is seed?  The "seed" is the Word of God!  It is planted in us when we read it and it is rooted in us when we KNOW it and BELIEVE it!  Once we receive this seed we are given opportunities to then plant into the lives of others!  The seed of The Father is eternal!!!!! 

When I welcomed God, Jesus AND The Holy Spirit to dwell within me, a great life started growing!  I was filled with HOPE!  I say to the Kingdom of God, come invade me like the mustard seed!  Grow tall within me, so that my life, my faith, through Your grace might be enough to become a shelter for the birds of the air!  I do not fear the invasion of the Kingdom- I pray for it (like the mustard seed) to GROW within me!!!!

It is suggested that Jesus could have chosen a genuine tree for the parable, and that the mustard plant demonstrated that, though the dominion appeared small, it would inexorably grow into something large and firmly rooted and become shelter for those who need it!!! 

Thank You Holy Spirit for revealing this TRUTH to me!  I strive to GROW in my FAITH, to BE SHELTER!  While it is only required to have faith as small as a mustard seed, may we all THIRST  for MORE and find that we can quench that thirst with THE LIVING WATER!!! 

Freedom in Letting Go

There is freedom in letting go of things that either we can't control or things that simply do not matter.  I have learned (mostly the hard way) that it is very selfish to hold a grudge.  It is damaging to hold on to hurts.  I have been treated badly in my lifetime and people have hurt me in ways that I did not deserve but for me to hold on to that only gives the enemy a foothold in my life!  I spent too many years holding on to all the hurt.  I missed out on so much joy because my attention was focused on that hurt.  Then I went through a time when I decided to let it go but I settled on the fact that I had lost that time.  I would just move on and accept things lost and just hope for better things to come.  Then The Holy Spirit spoke to my spirit and assured me that not only would all those things be restored to me but Daddy God goes above an beyond when it comes to restoring His children!!!  As I released the hurt feelings, guilt, self blame and even the hard feelings I had towards other people, something amazing began to happen in my heart!  It grew deeper and deeper to where I was able to hold more and more of the LOVE that God had for me.  The LOVE He wanted to give to me and the LOVE He wanted to show THROUGH me =)  I became a LOVE CONTAINER!  The more of self I released, the more of Him I became.  I could, for the first time, see others as Jesus saw them.  I was beginning to love others in a way I have never experienced before. 

There have been many things I have had to "let go" of and allow The Lord to take over.  I believe that with the Love of Jesus, there is no relationship that is beyond His ability to completely restore!!!  When those relationships are restored the very face of Daddy God is shown =) 

There are still times when the devil will bring something (or someone) to my mind and I can feel those old hurts trying to surface.  At that very moment I have a choice to make.  I can either allow myself to respond to those feelings in a damaging way by dwelling on them.  I mean there have been times when an old hurt will surface and I will start talking about it with myself!  I can talk myself into being hurt all over again!  The other (an wiser) choice is to SPEAK to the one who is bringing it up!  I say, sorry devil but I have already dealt with that and I do not have to deal with it anymore!  It is done, I have released it and God has taken over that area of my life.  I then can replace any negative feelings with the TRUTH in God's Word!  There is that "renewing the mind" again!  hahaha  The more of God's TRUTH I have planted inside of me the quicker it springs up in my spirit when Satan comes against me! 

As I prepare for my book release I am still releasing parts of my past.  I want to be clear that as I release the hurts of my past I also remember what God has done for me.  I do not tell my story to remember or relive my past.  I share it to give testimony as to what God has done!  I share it to encourage others!  I am living proof that there is nothing The Lord can't do.  He can take the absolute worst things and use it to bring Glory to Him.  He can turn bitterness to JOY and hurt to HEALING.  It is through Daddy God that we receive FREEDOM!

On a book related note; I received notice that I will be receiving the first copy of my book in 10-15 days!  Talk about a journey!  It has been a waiting time and a growing time.  I am so ready for the next phase of this amazing journey!  As soon as I receive my copy of the book it will be available for purchase!  I will share the details on where and how you can get it in the VERY NEAR future!  I am doing most of the promoting on my own so spread the word within your circle =)  Thanks again for all your support through prayers and words of encouragement!  I claim blessings flow through you today!  May we all get SOAKED in the blessing and the LOVE of Daddy God today =)
