Praying

 Pray - (as in sitting and talking to Jesus,) and then when you've prayed all you know in the natural, pray in the Spirit. 

When you come back to the topic again, update your conversation with Jesus, listen for Him to put things on your heart and then do that. If nothing comes upon your heart, pray in the spirit about it again. Repeat as

often as necessary until break through.  Don’t get legalistic about it, be able to allow the Holy Spirit to bring it back to your rememberance and as to when you need to pray.

Keep a journal of these prayers so you can learn how the Lord is working with you.  :)

I’m In Pain and Up Early Praying Because

 I’m In Pain and Up Early Praying Because…

It was the story of a child, a little girl who had a sickness that prevented her from eating.  The doctors put her on a diet and gave her medicine, but she grew worse daily.

Her parents heard the message of the Gospel and about the healing that Jesus brings.  They sought Him out, and with good bible teaching, the little girl was totally healed.  Today, she is the mother of her own two little kids.

The pastor who had taught her the bible truth about healing, her mother, and herself were having lunch and sharing good things about the Lord together when they saw a young child across the room who was suffering with the same disease that she had suffered through.  They were able to share her story and pray for the little one to be healed.  And… praise the Lord, she was healed.  For the next full week, that little one ate anything and everything in sight without any problems.  After a week, the x-husband (father of the child) stepped in and demanded that the child be put back on the diet and medication the doctors had prescribed.  The mother had no legal choice and put the child back on the medication and diet.  The child got sick again and died.😭

Another story that breaks my heart is about a lady I knew a couple of years ago. She got sick and in her invaliding time, she became a christian.  Her christian friends who taught her about the Lord and His salvation did not teach her about His healing.  It’s been two years or so and the lady is on hospice and trying to find a way to ‘end it’ in a better way than just lingering on in pain.  She knows no better way because she has been taught against healing, and all the kindness she is receieving is coming towards her because of her sickness.  She is in a real bad spot because if she even tries to get cured… she would lose everything she has.  She’s going to die.  

In this situation, I really wish that the christian friends had led the lady to the Bible and showed her the stories of Jesus and His love.  I wish they had taken her through the pages of hope and promises of a beautiful future.  But, because of personal experiences with religion and faith, they believed doctors know best. 

So, I couldn’t get back to sleep this morning with these things weighing on my heart.  I recommitted to reaching out, teaching , instructing, sharing , or whatever it takes to get the good news out to whoever will receive it. 

We can’t give up, get tired nor discouraged. That is what the enemy wants us to do.  The last thing he wants is for us to be healthy, happy, and a witness for Jesus.  Also, don’t let the enemy wear you down by isolating you from prayer and fellowship.  Talk to someone when you need to.  Then shake it off and get back out there. 👍

Know Your Value…

 For sure… the enemy wants your value to depend on the way others see you and on the feed back that they give you.  And when the feedback is negative or even if there is NO feedback… you can not listen to the voices that cut you down and belittle you… you have to break that off and receive the truth of who you are in the Lord.  You are a child of the king.

This Dr. Kris is someone I like to listen to a couple of times a week.  I wish she was one of my instructors in my assigned classes, but I have to watch her as an outside curriculum.  This is one of her classes… I am not going to attend as my platter of duties is already full.  But, in the future she will be putting out some youtubes that share some of the tidbits.  Look her up on youtube and listen while you twiddle around with dishes or work in the garage.  🙂 sj🦋

I made a pretty big blunder this past weekend.  😩

If you tried to sign up for our upcoming workshop on your phone, you were likely taken to the wrong check out page. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I realize this doesn't sound like a big deal in the scheme of life, but I found myself getting worried.

Not worried in the 'I don't trust God', kinda way....

My worry was in the form of 'what you might think of me' kinda way.

Yeah, I know, it sounds silly. 😒

But if you've been in toxic relationships long enough, you know how ingrained it is to think everything is your fault and your flaws are unforgivable.


So, every once in a while, when I make a mistake, my mind automatically goes to....'how will this be used against me?'

But I know that's not you.

I know that you too are tired of conforming to the opinions and expectations of toxic people just to keep the peace.

It's exhausting and so unfulfilling.

Saying 'sorry' just to end the argument....

Keeping quiet just so they won't leave me....

or worse, exploding like a pressure cooker, only to be labeled 'the problem'.

I just wanted to be valued and appreciated for who I was, but the problem was....I had no idea who I was outside of what others thought of me. 

That was until God stepped in and showed me the divine strengths that he bestowed upon me....

the strengths that were meant for my good and His glory....

the strengths that broke me out of unhealthy relationships and toxic thinking....

the very strengths that brought me to you. 💕

My friend, you too have divine strengths.  💪🏼

I know, I know, they're likely hidden beneath the rubble of power plays and people pleasing....

but somewhere in there is the ability to confidently set limits with the takers in your life and boldly be all that God created you to be - no apologies necessary!

I want to help you discover that.

So, I want to invite you to join me this Tuesday May 14th at 5pm EST for a 90 min LIVE workshop to Unlock Your Divine Strengths to Overcome Toxic Relationships.

Will you join me? This is going to be bondage breaking!

And don't worry, we've checked and triple checked.....the link is working 👍

Wigglesworth Took Communion Daily

Taking Communion Daily. Smith Wigglesworth 

Written by Kenneth Copeland 

 One of my heroes of faith is Smith Wigglesworth, an early 20th-century healing evangelist from England. Mr. Wigglesworth was perhaps one of the boldest men of faith ever to walk this earth. But he wasn't always that way. 

Being raised in a poor family, and forced to work hard-labor jobs from the time he was six years old, Mr. Wigglesworth had no formal education and didn't learn to read until he was an adult. 

He became a plumber by trade, and a successful one. But when he married a woman who was called to preach, Mr. Wigglesworth soon came face-to-face with the calling of God that was on his life as well - a calling which he did everything he could to avoid. 

You see, Smith Wigglesworth was extremely introverted, and very embarrassed of his lack of education. When he first entered public ministry with his wife, Mr. Wigglesworth was scared out of his wits just to stand on a platform and say his name. When he read scripture out loud, he would stutter and stumble through the reading. Afterward, he would say, "If anyone has anything to say, let them say it now - I'm done." Then he would walk off the platform and sit down. His wife usually ended up doing the preaching. 

Nonetheless, deep in the heart of this stuttering introvert was great conviction and passion for God. Mr. Wigglesworth absolutely refused to let the sun go down without his having witnessed to and won at least one soul to Jesus each day. So where was all that boldness for which Mr. Wigglesworth became so well known? Well, when Mrs. Wigglesworth passed away, she left her husband after having done all she knew to do to get him to yield to the call of God on his life. But he just would not give in to it - at least, not while she was around to do the preaching. So before she died, she made an agreement with the Lord that she would go on to heaven in order to get Smith in the will of God. But even that almost didn't work. 

On the day Mr. Wigglesworth's wife died, he prayed for her to be raised from the dead...and she was. "You're not leaving me!" he told her when she came back to life. "What will I do?" "Smith, you are going to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ!" she said. "I'm leaving now do the will of God!" Then she laid her head down on the pillow and left. Once she was gone, Mr. Wigglesworth repented and repented and repented and repented, and finally accepted his call. But that was only the beginning. 

The real change in Smith Wigglesworth did not come until he started getting up every day at 4 a.m. to take Communion. Like clockwork, every day he would begin the day remembering his covenant with Almighty God by taking the bread and the cup. Every day, he lived under the influence of that covenant. And every day, he became more and more bold - until, finally, he became one of the boldest men of God in history. ....
