Jesus speaking…All that I have is yours. I have made provision for you, given you houses, given you land as much sand that’s on the seashores. I am your Source, your Provider, your King…I’ve given you the keys to My kingdom, I’ve given you everything. I have no hidden agendas, all that is Mine I freely give. I provide for you and supply all of your needs. I am the One who daily loads you… with benefits, you are prosperous indeed. In My Father’s house are many mansions, if it wasn’t so I wouldn’t tell you this. You asked me to forgive you, on the cross I became sin and it was dealt with so I already did. I have poured My love In your hearts to fill your very being..yes I am all-knowing and all things I have seen. My precious people I need you to understand that there is no lack In Me. I am wealthy, I am whole, as I am so are you. The words that I’m speaking are life and they are truth. The words that I’m speaking their alive and can empower you. My precious people, you are complete In Me. If I had it, still have it, and gave it to you…your life should be pleasant and fulfilling. I truly love you! I give In abundance, I bless you willingly. I have given you life,peace, and prosperity. I did it all In love, it’s not In vain. I did it In sincerity. In my Presence there are pleasures forevermore, I do not change!!! I’m not a man that I should lie, ofcourse I care about you. For you I laid down My life, even after that I still express My love for you. I know you make mistakes but it’s okay, I still love you. In Me I see you as perfect, I know who you are. You’ve been reconciled to your Father, never again will you be apart. Listen precious people, you are very dear to Me, don’t turn your back to Me or close your ears to My voice. Just come to Me and hear Me. I’m not mad, I don’t hate you but I’m waiting for you. I’m your first love. Trust that I love you and place nothing above Me. I make you complete, In Me you’ll find strength. All you have need of you’ll find it In Me. I have given you grace for every mistake. Instead of you suffering, I expressed the Father’s compassion for you and I took your place. Don’t live In fear, depression, or rejection. I went before you and made a way of escape. In Me there is love, rest, healing, and protection. You are not a stranger to Me because you accepted Me, you rejected the enemy, you have been accepted In the Beloved, you belong to Me. No one is able to snatch you out of My hands, understand how much I love you, I’m not just any ordinary man.

Jesus was sent on this earth to show us how God wanted us to live – He was our example here on earth. There was nothing selfish about what Jesus did. It was all about His Father’s assignment. He did take care of himself by going off and being still so that He could be renewed. He was never too busy, if the “vibe” of the crowd wasn’t right He used the power of Love to change it, if encountered an a…ngry group He used the power of Truth, if there were sick among Him, He used the power of healing. We were given the same power. It’s time we tap into the power of the kingdom and let go of the selfish ways of the world. Selfishness destroys – The Love and power of God builds. ~ Be a contractor for the Kingdom!

Sometimes it’s the simple things that bring people the most joy. My dad had to give up his drivers liscense in October. For years, his great joy was starting out his morning going to MacDonalds for a sausage and egg biscuit. Anyone who knows my dad knows he is a man of habit. He hasn’t been to Mcd’s for months so this morning I took him for his favorite breakfast.  He is smiles from ear to ear. That’s what life is about – giving others a gift of joy, creating a happy memory. Choose someone this week that you can make a difference in their life by allowing them to experience something that is important to them. ~ It’s about giving with the love of Christ and not the selfishness of the enemy!

Coming at you to place some straight knowledge on your dome!

God has given me a new fire and has me in an amazing place right now…And I know I’m in an amazing place when I’m sending my Minister Mentor Jermaine, who is by far one the most knowledgeable and wisest men of the word that I know, somethings on my spirit and all he is writing back is “YES!!” lol!

It’s just a great place to be in with the Lord and just want to share the testament of his word with you all…..however I’ma say this now, for anyone who is connected to me right now that thinks the ways of this WORLD are better than the promises of GOD, then in the name of Jesus I pray you are released from me this very moment, because I do not want you dragging on me as I head towards my promises of God, nor do I want to see you jumping and reaching once you seen the promised fulfilled….Yea I went there on a saturday….some of you need to go there too!!

But this is just where I’m at and the revelation God has been given me in my recent prayer time. Let each and everyone of us allow this to sit and minister to our souls over the weekend…I spoke on this a little in my last status but God says go deeper so here we go….

2 questions….whats the use of reading the word if your not going to apply the word in your life? That question is the question I want to use to structure this question for you….why is it so hard for us as humans to walk in faith? Is it because we can’t see what God has spoken or promised over our lives?….don’t you know that we actually aren’t suppose too.. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says this “However, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared (promised) for those who love him” (NIV) God doesn’t expect you to see it….he expects you, in your faith, to simply believe in it, again thats why also in Hebrews 11:6 it says “And without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” (NIV) This means that you could have done 1,000 great deeds in this world, but not had faith in anything God wanted to give you and at that point upon judgement day God will look at you and say “Turn away from me, because in your time of deeds I never knew you (because of the lack of your faith) Matthew 7:23 (NIV) I’m just here to help and speak truth to you all today because I want ALL of you to have what God has in store for you….Now here’s the biggest and NUMBER ONE reason many people have trouble or just simply will not walk something out in faith when God speaks to them or through someone to them…It is because upon the time of him speaking to them, what he spoke does not fit into THIER “right now” plans……..yea I’ma let that sink in for a moment…..We convince ourselves that what we think or want for our lives is best….yet if we were truly walking a Christian life our life would already be handed over to God in the FAITH and promise of his word that says “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.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)…..all………ALL he is merely asking of us is to seek him and walk in faith. Yet we make it so hard….for example take a trash bag with a million dollars in it and set it 50 feet in front of you…..would you go to it?…..YES!! you would!!…why? Because A.) you can see it and B.) you know its worth….but catch this, the more you play into what you SEE the quicker it disperses out of your life, because you will spend that million dollars only to find yourself broke again….My God I hope you caught that just now!! This is why God says walk in faith…because the materials and offers of this world are only temporary….But the blessings as a result of your faith are everlasting, this goes for God calling you into ministry or speaking a word over your life, perhaps God has spoken something to you or through someone in regards to a relationship of a man and woman, He could have revealed a revelation of your journey in life, whatever it is I compel you….walk in faith….So allow me to wrap up the 2nd question by again asking you the first…..Whats the use of even reading the bible if your not going to apply it into your life?

I am a healthy woman. I am a medically insured woman. I am one of the lucky ones. In the past 8 days, I have faced a medical crisis that resulted in my seeing 6 healthcare providers of various levels of skill. Nurse practitioners, doctors, ophthalmological specialists. Because of my precious medical insurance card, each provider was willing to set aside some time for me during this week — after ascertaining that the insurance was indeed valid AND the co-pay was duly paid. Each visit ended with the handing over of prescription(s); each succeeding visit resulted in the previous Rx’s being discontinued and replaced with better and/or different meds. With the 7 healthcare visits to the 6 providers, and with the multitude of Rx’s, I spent about $500 in co-pay fees.

Lucky me. I have the necessary medical insurance card. And I have the co-pay. I finally got the relief, on day 8, that I needed so that the medical crisis would begin to subside.

However, I also have had the privilege of having spent lots of volunteer hours at our local free clinic. I see, weekly, up close and personal, countless men and women who do not have the same fortune that I do. They don’t have the insurance card, and they wouldn’t have the co-pay money anyway. Because they have no private healthcare provider that follows their care, they have extremely limited access to care through the clinic, and that care is, in reality, available to them ONLY IF they have been seen at the clinic before and IF they can tolerate a waiting period of 3-4 weeks to try to get seen for an emergent medical need. Our patients do not hurt less than I do just because they do not have medical insurance, but our patients do not have the luxury of being able to request an appointment ASAP. My illness untreated….I can’t bear to think how much worse this would have been if I had been a free clinic patient and had to wait weeks for each successive appointment and each additional medication.

What happens in our community is that those with emergent care literally cannot continue to wait, often because of life and death issues. They end up going to the emergency department, being scolded for being there, condescended to, and charged fees that they cannot begin to pay back. And when that happens enough times for any one of our patients, the ED gradually cuts off any real care to them “until your bill is paid.”

An uninsured person with my recent diagnosis could realistically become suicidal because of the relentless pain. Couple that with a non-responsive, unsympathetic healthcare institution, and their medical troubles grow geometrically.

Our request to the medical providers in this community is that you donate 4 hours a week — just 4 hours — to the Free Clinic of the Twin Counties so that there would be more open time slots for the clinic to see acute care patients who do not need ER service. This Free Clinic is sincere in its mission to provide care as it can, but there are TOO FEW providers willing to share their expertise to reduce the suffering of people who don’t have much power. This clinic needs RNs, LPNs, EMTs, CFNPs, MDs, DOs. We need them in droves, so that Free Clinic-eligible people in the Twin Counties can more adequate levels of healthcare services available to them.

The Twin Counties area has a large number of medically trained people who could help but who do not choose to do so. Please rethink that choice. Please consider sharing some of your time and your skills at the Free Clinic. If even most of you would consider volunteering, we might have the luxury of thinking we had too much healthcare to offer.

Take a busman’s holiday — work at the Free Clinic of the Twin Counties. Call us. You will be glad that you did.

Hang on to your rope help is on it way.. some times we feel like giveing up or we are at the end of our rope. We tie a knot to help us hang on and that one knot does help for a little bite.

Let me tell you about your rope.  Have you ever thought who is holding you rope? { God } He is there holding your rope for you can climb to the top. God is there telling you that you can make it just trust Him  God is there for you always… The {rope} is like life its self, some times it smooth and other times it’s ruff and long. The { ruff and long }.. The { ruffer and longer}  will make you stronger.  See the Devil puts things, and  people in are way in life to slow us down and to make us feel like we will never make it. But we will God makes us stronger each and every time. When the Devil TRYS to do this. The {smooth} This is when things seems to be going good but then we start to slip, Like we do in life we slip now and then we start to fall or We thank we are at the end of our rope. The {knot} thats when we tie a knot on our rope to help us hang on to get a grip and then start to climb again. The {knot} is an Angel,  In life we have Angel’s and they are there to help us in any way to make it home, To care for us, etc.. We have many Angel’s not just one and they are around us waighting on us to ask them to work they can work day and night. So when you tie a knot on your rope tie many of them. Now at the{ end } of  our rope, We feel so many times that we are there and there is no hope to be found. Jesus said that he would never leave us remember? If you could see the end of your rope you would see Jesus with his arms open wide ready to catch you  {IF} You should fall Jesus will catch you, hold you, and then, Jesus will hold you straight upon your rope.
