<b>To My Friends, Followers, Supporters and Family:</b></div>
<div>
It's because of you, I’ve been able to reach literally millions of souls – either in person or through media. Salvations, healings, deliverance, hope, and restoration are just some of the miraculous things God has brought about through our efforts.<br />
<br />
<b>Thank you so much for your continued prayer and financial support.</b><br />
<br />
I’ve been in ministry since the 90’s, but it wasn’t until 2017 that God opened the doors for me to film (60) thirty-minute television ministry segments! SIXTY powerful messages have been prepared, produced and packaged – sent out across the airwaves in just 2 short years! Hallelujah! Glory to God!<br />
<br />
This is something the Lord told me He was preparing me to do way back in 1999, when He had me sell my chain of dance studios to follow after His plan for my life. I praise Him for His faithfulness in bringing this prophecy to fruition some 18 years later – just as He said. <br />
<br />
It’s because of partners, like you, that I’ve been able to take the good news of the gospel to literally millions of people across the United States through the power of television.<br />
<br />
At the age of 57, I’ve never been more confident of my calling and purpose – to teach others how to LIVE… I mean, REALLY LIVE!<br />
<br />
As a speaker and evangelist, I’m called to serve. It’s my joy to be able to travel the country, sharing my testimony, Bible teachings and contagious faith. I love speaking HOPE into the lives of a broken humanity – those desperate for a drink of refreshment. And now, just as God predicted, I’m able to reach even more people through the power of television and media. I’m able to take the gospel to those who sit in the secret chamber of their own home surfing the airwaves for significance.<br />
<br />
You see, most of the people you and I pass in the streets each day don’t go to church, don’t know the Bible and, frankly, don’t know the Lord. They are just passers by who suffer from loneliness, dysfunction, heartbreak, depression, addictions, relationship problems and absolutely no hope for their future.<br />
<br />
<u>It’s no wonder we hear of so many horrible things in the news these days. People without God will eventually bring their depraved mental breakdown into view – sooner or later.</u> Sadly, some of these tormented souls destroy themselves, while others don’t want to drown alone and, therefore, seek to take others down with them.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>But, there is a remedy!</b><br />
<br />
Most of America has a TV or a computer or a cell phone. And... together, you and I can reach these souls right where they are… in their own homes!<br />
<br />
<b>RIGHT NOW our TV programs are airing coast-to-coast on stations like:</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>WGGS TV</b></li>
<li><b>WATC TV 57</b></li>
<li><b>WBPI TV 49</b></li>
<li><b>Faith Unveiled Network</b></li>
<li><b>KAZQ/KTVS - Alpha Omega Broadcasting</b></li>
<li><b>ICFN - International Christian Family Network</b></li>
<li><b>The NOW Television Network</b></li>
<li><b>YouTube</b></li>
<li><b>Social Media</b></li>
<li><b>AND OTHERS!</b></li>
</ul>
Your continued support is vital in 2020 as we launch out into the deep with goals to:<br />
<br />
*Update Our Production Set<br />
*Film 30 New Episodes (Gospel Presentations)<br />
*Expand Our Broadcasting Networks (our reach / demographics)<br />
*Release an Online Marriage Bible Study to Save Marriages and Save Families<br />
*Produce and Distribute Resources (DVD’s, Books and other Materials) to Prisons, Half-Way Houses and Churches<br />
*Hold Special Women’s Ministry Conferences in Key Cities throughout the US<br />
*AND EVEN MORE!<br />
<br />
<b>Our 2020 VISION is BIG and VERY CLEAR. </b><br />
<br />
And, YOU can make a huge impact all throughout 2020 by partnering with me at the $25 per month giving level. For less than $0.75 per day, YOU can change a life, forever! <br />
<br />
In fact, every time you change a life, you make our world a safer and healthier place to live – mentally, physically and spiritually.<br />
<br />
<b>Thank you so much for locking arms with me as, together, we launch out into the deep!</b><br />
<br />
There is nothing more satisfying than participating in Kingdom Work – God’s Work.<br />
<br />
Sincerely in Christ,<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I suppose one of the hardest lessons to learn in Christianity is learning to give honor and respect to someone in regards to their position.<br />
<br />
Oftentimes, even in our church life, we will be intertwined with people in authority whom we don’t agree with, who don’t do things the way we want them to, perhaps we think of them as less educated or even as one who is not being sensitive to our needs or wants.<br />
<br />
Never-the-less, God’s Word tells us to give respect and honor to them as being the ones in authority over us in that setting and/or for that season. He also promises us that as we do this, at the appointed time He will raise us up to be honored and respected in the same way that we have given such grace.<br />
<br />
This makes me think of David. While David was anointed to be King as a youth, he was not appointed to be King until many, many years later. In fact, from David’s perspective, he probably (at times) wondered if he’d even live long enough to see that prophecy come to pass.<br />
<br />
You see, Saul was the King at the time of David’s call from God to leadership and in Saul’s jealousy of David, as well as his unruly fits of rage, Saul made David’s life miserable. On numerous occasions, Saul even tried to kill David.<br />
<br />
Yet, David continued to honor and respect King Saul. In fact, when given a clear opportunity of which David could’ve easily killed King Saul, David took the high road by not taking advantage of a moment that most would consider to be God’s open window of divine opportunity.<br />
<br />
Even in his youth and early manhood, David understood God’s order. David had an innate sense of godly character that went far beyond the popular ideas of what was considered to be right or wrong.<br />
<br />
David rose to the top in every situation that should have caused him to give up, retaliate or protest. Of course, today we know David as a man after God’s own heart; as a deliverer; as a hero of the faith. But, anyone who has ever lived a life compared to the struggles that David encountered on his way to the top understands that it’s not at all easy to give honor and respect to those in positions of leadership of which we disagree.<br />
<br />
On another note, those who are in positions of leadership should always be mindful of their decisions - whether good or bad, weak or strong, emotional or factual. It’s certainly not easy to hold a position of leadership as every little decision carries with it consequences of success or struggles.<br />
<br />
Oftentimes, the decisions of leaders can be misunderstood simply because the onlooker does not fully understand the vision, has not invested the energy, time and resources to see the vision come to pass, is not required to undergo the pressures of pulling it all together or maybe just because they view their own ideas as being more brilliant than the ideas of the one in the leadership position.<br />
<br />
While being a leader may seem glamorous, important or even powerful, the fact of the matter is that being a leader is very difficult. I suppose that is one reason the Lord admonishes His people to be sure to give honor and respect to those in authority over us. He knows that if He didn’t set this high standard, there would be so much chaos and confusion that eventually no one would ever want to hold a leadership position.<br />
<br />
So, what do we do?<br />
<br />
All of us are under the authority of someone or something at all times. And, most importantly, all of us are under the authority of God.<br />
<br />
Knowing this, we should all strive to hit the mark, the high calling of Christ Jesus by doing our part to be respectful to whomever is mentoring, leading, pastoring or governing us during the Now season of our life.<br />
<br />
And, sometimes showing respect is simply in our tone, our grace, our attitude or our patience.<br />

What is an ungodly stronghold?<br />
<br />
<b><u>Strongholds of the Mind</u></b> are thoughts, ideas, beliefs, perceptions, attitudes and opinions... that are lies, yet we esteem them as truth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
An ungodly stronghold is a mental fortress of defense. We must allow God’s Word to demolish these strongholds in order to receive the full benefits of our Salvation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Strongholds can develop from experiences that have hurt us, magnified us, disappointed us or failed us. They are also developed from LIES we’ve chosen to accept as truth from our culture, our family heritage or out of our own personal bends toward certain sins (iniquity).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
An ungodly stronghold is a wrong cause or belief that is strongly defended or upheld - even when the truth has been revealed.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Strongholds must be torn down by a willingness to transform the mind according to God’s Word.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em;">

This is from my Facebook Live on 12/18/18 on The Woman2Woman Ministry group page.
I thought I'd share this with everyone as a blessing for the New Year to come.
In this special video lesson, I am releasing the blessing of the Lord for the year 5779, also known as 2019.
"Behold, God will REVEAL the POWER of His Name and the STRENGTH of His Word this year as He SURROUNDS YOUR LIFE with GOOD!"
God will BIRTH something new in your life this year as you participate with Him though prayer, fasting, giving, and worship.
You must BELIEVE HIM for the 100 fold blessing, creative miracle and/or promise coming to pass your life.
He is a GOOD GOD and He wants to surround you with His goodness as you step into His presence each and everyday, expecting Him to reveal His power.
You will receive in proportion to your faith.
You will receive in proportion to your giving.
You will receive in proportion to your worship.
You will receive in proportion to your FIRE!
Holiness is the state of being separated for the things of God. Your life needs to smell like a sweet fragrance to the world and your life must smell like a sweet aroma that reaches the nostrils of God.
Get Ready!
Give Ear!
Listen!
Walk in the 9 Gifts of the Spirit. If God calls these gifts GOOD, don’t argue with Him. Get rid of your fears and your preconceived ideas about these gifts. He wants you to walk in the supernatural POWER of His Name and His Word!
Develop your fruit! Live in the 9 Fruit of the Spirit on a daily basis. These fruit are God’s GOOD blessings to others - through you. The Fruit of the Spirit must shine through your life as you walk in faith, expecting a visitation from the Lord.
God gives GOOD GIFTS to His children as they give GOOD GIFTS to others.
5779 - 2019!</yt-formatted-string></div>

<br />
Is God conservative or liberal?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some would say, which God are you talking about? The God of the Christian, the God of the Jew, the God of the Muslim or the God that I choose to believe in?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For the sake of finding truth, let's say, "all of the above."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most mainstream religions (and, quite frankly most people) believe in monotheism - the belief that there is only one God. Much to the surprise of the Jehovah Witnesses, as well as the Jewish and Muslim communities, Christians also believe in only One God.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Having said that, when I use the name Jesus in this article, please don't conclude that I am only talking about the Christian faith. While I am, personally, a Christian, I am writing this article to try and bring truth - truth from One God, the God of all creation - into view.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have found that Christians, Jehovah's Witnesses, Jews and Muslims all believe in Jesus as a prophet, they simply differ in their belief of His deity. <u>This article is not a debate about Jesus</u>. This article is a thought provoking post about the One True God of all humanity - no matter your religion - and His ultimate desire for this world and, especially, for human beings in particular.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As a human being on planet earth who believes that God loves all people and He wants the best for all people, I am writing this article to bring about "thought" in the minds of those who either don't practice any religion, at all; or perhaps, who do have faith in God but they have not considered the end result of God's ultimate purpose and plan - His desire for all mankind.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope that whether you are a Christian, Jew, Muslim, or of some other faith, you will think soberly about the content of this article before concluding your opinion of what you believe to be the remedy for the evils of society.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is my article...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
<br />
Jesus (whether you believe in him as prophet or as deity) liberally loves all people but He conservatively hates sin and hypocrisy. His life on earth was a visual demonstration of God’s will.<br />
<br />
Jesus never condemned the humble, nor turned His back on broken humanity. He did, however, openly condemn those whose “motives” were wrong. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In fact, in Matthew 21, Jesus <i>angrily</i> overturned the tables of those who were selling doves to be used in sacrifices at the temple. In this same chapter He also spoke a curse onto a fig tree because it did not produce fruit for Him. Again, in Matthew 23, we see Jesus openly condemning hypocrisy and even going so far as calling the teachers of the law and the Pharisees (religious leaders) "snakes and a brood of vipers." </div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "verdana" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>Jesus would look straight through a person to expose the heart (the root) of the matter.<br />
<br />
Everything that Jesus did was the will of God.<br />
<br />
God is the same from Genesis to Revelation of the Holy Bible.<br />
<br />
For the Christian, Jesus did not come to condemn the law but to fulfill the law. Nonetheless, the law is still God’s standard, because without the grace of God - (for the Christian, the blood of Jesus that only covers humble hearts of repentance) - the law remains in effect.<br />
<br />
Satan, himself, tried to use the Word to tempt Jesus. But, because Jesus knew the meaning of the Word better than Satan, Jesus could not be led astray.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In fact, all faiths who believe in the account of the Garden of Eden should be able to easily see how the devil twisted God's Word against Eve when the serpent said, "Did God really say that you would surely die?" The deception was to create confusion, doubt, justification and rationalization in Eve's mind so that she would truly believe (at least for the moment) that it was okay for her to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, although God had clearly said earlier that it was forbidden. Eve probably had a sense of peace (although it was not true peace) when she made the decision to eat of the fruit.<br />
<br />
The devil (you might think of him as an evil force) has been twisting God’s Word in the minds of all humanity since the Garden of Eden. <b>Satan (the devil - the worker of evil) is a master deceiver and he is attempting to twist God's Holy Word, still today, in the minds of any human being who <u>does not fully understand the character of God as both Loving and, yet, a Righteous Judge.</u></b><br />
<br />
God loves people. His judgements are always for the purpose of turning sinful humanity back to Himself in truth and righteousness.<br />
<br />
The wages (penalty) of all sin is death.<br />
<br />
God does not want humanity to die mentally, emotionally, spiritually or physically - not individually, or as a family, place of worship, community, state or nation. (Hence, heaven is the ultimate escape from death. I call the way to heaven The Remedy for the wages of sin.)<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, because all of humanity lives in a sinful world, we will all die (from this earth) one day - unless Jesus, Messiah comes back before that day comes.<br />
<br />
For a moment, let's compare sin to cancer. Cancer secretly works, destroying good cells and overtaking body tissue with bad cells. Like cancer, you don’t always see sin or feel sin until it is too late.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Much like sin, oftentimes radical measures must be taken in order to eradicate cancer. Initially, these uncomfortable, painful, radical, cell-killing procedures can seem much worse than the cancer itself; but, the end result is intended to bring health and healing to the patient as well as the family members who have been traumatized by the secret mission of cancer.<br />
<br />
In the same way, God will use seemingly radical measures, radical people and radical judgements to eradicate the sin that is ultimately killing humanity. <u>His end result is righteousness, peace, joy, health, healing, prosperity and love.</u></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In fact, God will even use people who have a form of godliness, people who are new converts, people of opposing faiths, and those who don't know or believe in Him, at all, to accomplish His divine plan for all of humanity.<br />
<br />
Yes, the God of all creation will use circumstances, situations, governments and kings to accomplish His ultimate plan.<br />
<br />
He is a loving, yet righteous, judge. He does not wink at rebellion, wrong motives, deceived hearts nor twisted scripture (those who twist His Holy Word to fit their own agenda).<br />
<br />
With God - Who is the creator of the universe and the One who allows us to breathe the breath of life...<br />
<br />
<b>Right will always be right.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Wrong will always be wrong.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<u>So when it comes to truth, it really doesn’t matter how we view God, it only matters Who He is</u>.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: blue;">He is.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: blue;">God.</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
Christian, would you <b>honestly</b> say that Jesus would confirm the sinful behavior of a people group as the standard for a community?<br />
<br />
Those of any belief, would you <b>honestly</b> say that “your God” (whatever religion you practice) would want humanity to be broken, rebellious, confused, law breaking or manipulative for the sake of appeasing human weaknesses?<br />
<br />
As a person with common sense, do you <b>honestly</b> believe that a band-aide can fix a broken bone?<br />
<br />
Citizen, can you <b>honestly</b> say that skin color, gender, personality or political party is not a factor in your zeal for promoting your opinion of how government should rule?<br />
<br />
We should all agree that God loves all people in every corner of the world because for us to judge God's love for any other race of people, we place ourselves on the throne and say that we are God.<br />
<br />
We should all agree that doing things the right way ultimately gives God glory and brings all of humanity from all parts of the world into <b>truth and righteousness</b> which ultimately brings peace, joy, health, healing, stability, harmony, prosperity and well-being to everyone.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In conclusion, would <u>you</u> <b>honestly</b> say that God is a conservative or a liberal?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
~~~~~~~~~~~</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
PS - The religions that I listed all agree on the fundamental definition of SIN. So, let's not use that as a crutch for justifying the twisted truth that the enemy of humanity has whispered into our ears.<br />
<br />
We can choose to label sin as sickness, how God made me, disease or even our personal belief system; but, the fact still remains that God is the final judge of all creation and we will all die one day to face Him.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Even if you choose to believe that God does not exist, you have an inner knowing of right and wrong. And friend, if any of the religions in the world who believe that there is a God are right about His existence and His standard, you will not have a choice once you die. It will be too late to change your mind.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What we choose to believe carries no weight in the quest for TRUTH.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Truth is God. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>God is truth.</b></span></div>
<div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
Verse 7-8 says, If you hear God's voice, <strong>do not harden your hearts in rebellion</strong> as the children of Israel did at Meribah <strong>in their day of testing <span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">i</span></strong><span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">n the wilderness</span>. (Deborah's paraphrase)</div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
In reading <a alt="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers+20%3A1-5&version=NIV" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers+20%3A1-5&version=NIV" linktype="1" shape="rect" style="color: #403f42;" target="_blank" track="on">Numbers 20:1-5</a> and <a alt="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers+20%3A10-13&version=NIV" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers+20%3A10-13&version=NIV" linktype="1" shape="rect" style="color: #403f42;" target="_blank" track="on">10-13</a>, we find that God allowed the Israelites to be <strong>tested</strong> in the wilderness. This testing was <span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">not</span> because God needed to know how the Israelites would respond to adverse circumstances, but rather, so that the Israelites would know what was in their own hearts. </div>
<a expr:id="data:post.url" expr:name="data:post.title" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" onclick="return addthis_sendto()" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, "", this.id, this.name);"><br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" /></a>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
O<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">ur sinful nature is always revealed at our point of crisis, and so, God</span> uses these adverse situations to grow our faith. These times of testing will ultimately lead us to be progressively changed for the better, or lead us to turning our back on God - depending on our character and the truth about our faith in God's Word. </div>
<a expr:id="data:post.url" expr:name="data:post.title" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" onclick="return addthis_sendto()" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, "", this.id, this.name);"><br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" /></a>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
The Lord already knows our commitment level, but He wants us to see for ourselves just how much we <em>really</em> trust Him. God's Word will always be tested in our hearts so that "we" will know and understand the validity and power of God love. God always proves Himself in times of testing if we will just trust Him and believe!</div>
<a expr:id="data:post.url" expr:name="data:post.title" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" onclick="return addthis_sendto()" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, "", this.id, this.name);"><br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" /></a>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
So, once again, the Israelites were complaining to Moses and Aaron. Yes, they needed water, but they were also bent on having an attitude of rebellion against God - <strong>always complaining and quarreling about the way their deliverance came</strong>. They didn't like the way that God was providing for them and they didn't respect the leadership of Moses (God's minister) in their moment of crisis.</div>
<a expr:id="data:post.url" expr:name="data:post.title" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" onclick="return addthis_sendto()" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, "", this.id, this.name);"><br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" /></a>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
So God told Moses to "speak" to a rock. God said He would make water flow from this rock in order to prove His power by providing for the Israelites in a miraculous way. Unfortunately, Moses, in his frustration, hit the rock instead of speaking to it. <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Amazingly, God's mercy still allowed the water to flow and quench their thirst, but He also told them that they would not enter the promised land </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">because of their unbelief</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">In this story, God's mercy was accompanied by God's judgement! Even though God had proven Himself over and over for forty years in the wilderness, the Israelites continuously whined and complained, and now, even their leader, Moses, had become frustrated. So, because Moses did not honor God in their sight by </span><em style="font-size: 10pt;">fully obeying</em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">, God said none of them would enter into the promised land. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">These were the waters of Meribah where the Israelites quarreled with the Lord and where the Lord was proved Holy among them.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;">
When testing comes, remember, God is testing us <span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">so that we will know what is in our own hearts</span>. God already knows.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;">
Even when a temptation comes from a seemingly Christian source, don't be fooled. Remember, it is a test! It is a test for us to see our own wrong thinking - our own sinful heart. - <a alt="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=deuteronomy+13%3A1-3&version=AMP" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=deuteronomy+13%3A1-3&version=AMP" linktype="1" shape="rect" style="color: #403f42;" target="_blank" track="on">Deuteronomy 13:1-3</a></div>

They saw God prove Himself over and over again, and yet, they hardened their hearts in rebellion because things were not as pleasant as they expected. They were mad because God didn't do things their way and in their timing.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
God is Holy. He is God. <span style="font-size: 10pt;">It really doesn't matter how we seek to manipulate, justify or even approve of our sin, God's Word is the ultimate standard by which all sin is judged. If we are not Christians, God has given us a conscious to show us wrong from right. But, for those of us who are Christians, the voice of the Holy Spirit is our constant guide. So, ultimately, we are without excuse.</span></div>

The fullness of God's blessings will never be manifest in the lives of those who insist on being in rebellion. <a alt="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+samuel+15%3A23&version=NIV" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+samuel+15%3A23&version=NIV" linktype="1" shape="rect" style="color: #403f42;" target="_blank" track="on">1 Samuel 15:23</a> says, "rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft." In fact, let's look at this verse in the Amplified version...<span class="text 1Sam-15-23" style="font-size: 10pt;">"For rebellion is as [serious as] the sin of divination (fortune-telling), </span><span class="text 1Sam-15-23" style="font-size: 10pt;">And disobedience is as [serious as] false religion and idolatry. </span><span class="text 1Sam-15-23" style="font-size: 10pt;">Because you have rejected the word of the <span class="small-caps">Lord</span>, </span><span class="text 1Sam-15-23" style="font-size: 10pt;">He also has rejected you as king."

<div style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
God's anger is released when His people continually go astray in their hearts - <strong>when they do not grow to know His ways.</strong> The Lord wants us to be <strong>progressively changed</strong> to become more like Christ. If we continually refuse to do so, there will come a time where God's mercy gives way to judgement. This is where the consequences for our sin becomes our fate. Read <a alt="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=hebrews+3%3A10-11&version=AMP" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=hebrews+3%3A10-11&version=AMP" linktype="1" shape="rect" style="color: #403f42;" target="_blank" track="on">Hebrews 3:10-11</a> in the Amplified to see the example God has given to us through the Israelites journey from Egypt to the promised land. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">The Lord wants us to believe Him! He wants us to trust Him! He wants us to take His Word at face value and never harden our hearts to Him. And... it's easy to believe God when things are going good, but it's hard to believe Him when our lives are a mess. So, God uses these </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">times of testing</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;"> to show us just how much we </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">really</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;"> believe Him. One of my favorite scripture verses is </span><a alt="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+11%3A6&version=NKJV" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+11%3A6&version=NKJV" linktype="1" shape="rect" style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" target="_blank" track="on">Hebrews 11:6</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;"> which says, "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">must believe that he is</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">, </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">and </strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">." - KJV</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">So our conclusion for this lesson leads us to </span><a alt="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=jude+1&version=AMP" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=jude+1&version=AMP" linktype="1" shape="rect" style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" target="_blank" track="on">Jude 1</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">. Here we see that while God is able to keep us from stumbling or falling into sin, He is also warning us to not be fooled into thinking that just because He has saved us from eternal hell, He will not also destroy us if we choose continual rebellion. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">Jude reminds us of how the Lord saved the Israelites out of the bondage of Egypt, but later destroyed them because of their refusal to trust Him in the wilderness. We are also reminded that even the angels who rebelled against God were not able to keep their place of power in heaven but are now chained in darkness until the day of judgement.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">We should build ourselves up (daily) by praying in the Holy Spirit if we expect to escape the snares of this world. Do not allow grumblers, complainers and those who are bent on being lustful and sensual to lure you into wavering in your obedience to the Holy Spirit and the Word of the Living God.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">As Christians, we should hate sin so much that we are constantly telling the world about the wonder of God (by our actions even more so than by our mouth) and we need to understand that most people can be won to the Lord through love; but, there are some who will need to be "snatched" out of the grips of hell through the fear of God. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">God is Holy. He is God!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">If we are truly His, we should be </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">progressively changed</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;"> for the better. We should grow to agree with all of His precepts and all of His judgements and all of His promises. We should grow to become more like Jesus.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">If we are not being </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">progressively changed</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;"> for the better (as shown by our obedience), the question remains, are we </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">really</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;"> His? The Lord says "examine yourselves" to see if you are </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">really </em><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">one of His. -</span><a alt="https://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/13-5.htm" href="https://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/13-5.htm" linktype="1" shape="rect" style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" target="_blank" track="on"> 2 Corinthians 13:5</a><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">The born-again experience is a beautiful moment in time where the seed of God comes to live inside of a person. It is a moment in time where a human is recreated into the likeness of God - as God intended from the book of Genesis. True born-again humans will inherit eternal salvation with God. True born-again humans will hunger and thirst for righteousness. Their attitude toward sin is </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">progressively changed</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">Life's trials and </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">testings </strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">will </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">give us opportunities</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;"> </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">to to be progressively changed</strong><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;"> for the better </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">or will to expose us as being a tare</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;"> (someone who wants to be in the Kingdom but who has no depth in their knowledge or their fear of God). From life's trials, God gives us the opportunity to see for ourselves the true condition of our heart, the true condition of our faith and the true condition of our character. </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">God's testings will prove God's Spirit in us... prove God's love toward us... and, prove God's Word (promises) for us. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;"><br />The Holy Spirit of God will empower us to <b>STAND FIRM TO THE END</b>.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13.3333px;">Even so, we should never grow cold to the Holiness of God. God's standard never changes. Sin hurts. Sin thwarts. Sin perverts. Sin kills.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
God is Holy. He is God. <span style="font-size: 10pt;">It really doesn't matter how we seek to manipulate, justify or even approve of our sin, God's Word is the ultimate standard by which all sin is judged. </span></div>

<li style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Trials and testings will expose our true beliefs about God.</span></li>
<li style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Our character is more important than our comfort.</span></li>
<li>God wants us to believe Him in all things.</li>
<li>We need to examine ourselves to make sure that we are <em>truly</em> a born-again believer and not just someone who wants to go to heaven, who likes to hear of the goodness of God or someone who believes "in" God <span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">but doesn't really believe God.</span> </li>
<li>Don't be discouraged when testing comes from a seemingly Christian source. God will expose our wrong thinking and our sinful heart during these times. </li>
<li>Eternity is forever. We should not play around with how we handle God's Word.</li>
<li>We should not put banners of salvation on people we love when God is allowing them to be tested. He wants us all to know who He is, and who we are in Him. Every human being must work out their own salvation with God as their life is <strong>progressively changed for the better </strong> <span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">or as they are exposed when they turn their back from ever really knowing Him</span>. Children cannot go to heaven on their parents faith. Husbands cannot enter heaven on their wife's faith. Wives will not see heaven just because their husband is a Christian. We must, each, stand naked and alone before God.</li>
<li>True believers will repent and cry out to God when they see their own wickedness and unbelief in times of testing.</li>
<li>True believers who are bent on rebellion against God risk falling into the judgement of God in this life.</li>
<li>True believers will be desperate to STAY FIRM TO THE END. </li>
<li>God loves us so much that He wants to prove Himself. He will always prove Himself in times of testing if we will just believe and trust Him.</li>

<br />I hate waiting.<br /><br />But, God always delivers to those who wait in faith.<br /><br />Waiting does not mean sitting idle.<br /><br />It means praising, reading, praying, believing and occupying.<br /><br />What is occupying?<br /><br />Being a doer of the Word!<br /><br />Being Kingdom Minded in your everyday life.<br /><br />Continue to “do life” while waiting on God’s promise.<br /><br />The Lord is faithful! He loves to perform the promises in His Word at the appointed time!<br /><br />I agree, waiting is no fun.<br /><br />But, doing life according to God’s Holy Word has many benefits.<br /><br />And... the Lord always delivers good gifts to His children when they trust and obey.<br /><br />So, hang in there!<br /><br />Your blessing is in the way! </div>

My traveling assistant, Sonia George, who also follows Beth Moore's Living Proof Ministry, knows me well. She understands the cry of my heart and the passion of my calling. She see's the fruit of my ministry and how God is saving souls, restoring marriages, healing hearts, transforming lives and setting the captives free. Even so, Sonia, has a close up and personal view of the the obstacles that women in ministry are required to overcome in certain circles.<br />
<br />
On May 3, 2018, #BethMoore posted an article on her <a href="https://blog.lproof.org/2018/05/a-letter-to-my-brothers.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LPMblog+%28LPMblog%29" target="_blank">Living Proof Blog</a> that brings a refreshing cool drink of water to women called to ministry.<br />
<br />
Sonia emailed me a copy of Beth's article and as I read it and was refreshed.<br />
<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
Ministry can be lonely, challenging, and complicated in a world that so often discounts the value (and even the calling) of women.<br />
<br />
Thank you Beth Moore for your honesty and your gift to all of us females who have been called by God.<br />

<br />
I have witnessed the miracle working power of God in a BIG WAY...<br />
<br />
When you finally move all your furniture and belongings back into your newly remodeled home after 7 months of living in an apartment and over a year of planning, preparing and building...<br />
<br />
Turn the gas on...<br />
<br />
Then, BOOM!!!<br />
<br />
No one is hurt...<br />
<br />
Stunned, but alive.<br />
<br />
Fire under the house, smoke billowing, smoke and fire alarms ringing loud and clear, sirens, fire trucks, water hoses, all the neighborhood watching in awe....<br />
<br />
As I sat across the street in my neighbors grass and watched chaos, smoke, fire fighters with water hoses pointed in the front door of our brand new home with all of our stuff freshly placed inside (it’s just stuff)...<br />
<br />
I immediately made peace with God that if we lost everything we owned, and if our newly remodeled home fell to the ground before my eyes, I held tightly to my faith that my God was still good and that He would ultimately bless us with something better in the end...<br />
<br />
Oh, be sure the devil was chanting in my ear with a persuasive voice, “you don’t deserve to live here” and “God doesn’t want you to experience the fruit of your labor” and “you should have never remodeled your home in the first place.” The enemy was relentless in trying to convince me that his voice was that of the Holy Spirit. (That’s what he does in times of despair.)<br />
<br />
Then, in that surreal moment in time, I watched the firemen undo the water hoses and pull back from their ready position, as their demeanor went from supercharged to relaxed...<br />
<br />
As smoke continued to pour out of my front door, I’m wondering what has transpired inside? What has become of the back of the house, where the explosion was?<br />
<br />
Time stood still...<br />
<br />
A few hours later as I walk in my front door to assess the damage - there is none!<br />
<br />
NO EVIDENCE OF FIRE ON THE INSIDE!!!!<br />
<br />
Inside, only the faint smell of smoke and a lot of dust.<br />
<br />
Under the house and in the area where the BOOM took place was burned insulation, a busted water pipe, and melted wires. The wood DID NOT BURN.<br />
<br />
It was told to me that when the explosion happened under the washroom, it busted a water pipe. The busted water pipe kept the fire from spreading and actually put the fire out!<br />
<br />
... But God!<br />
<br />
Thanks to my brother-in-law for quickly turning the gas off. Thanks to the electrician who quickly turned the power off. Thanks be to God for His strong hand of protection!<br />
<br />
The devil had a plan.<br />
<br />
But, my God had a bigger plan!!!<br />
<br />
So, today I stand amazed, thankful, tired (exhausted), at peace and excited to move into our home of 23+ years, after a long awaited revamping of every room.<br />
<br />
Yes, the BOOM has caused an unwelcome delay. We’re not actually back in our home yet, even though we had moved everything out of the apartment and anticipated sleeping in our own bed and in our own home...<br />
<br />
Thanks to my sister, we have a place to sleep as we anxiously await our “true” move in day.<br />
<br />
BUT... Glory to God for sparing our lives (my Mom, my brother-in-law, the electrician, and myself)! We were all standing about 10 feet away from the gas explosion.<br />
<br />
Glory to God for protecting our home!<br />
<br />
In my time of reflection and prayer about this incident, the Lord reminded me of how many times I’ve had to fight the good fight of faith in order to obtain the prize. Nothing of value has ever come easy for me. There has always been a battle of some sort to overcome, whether it’s in my mind - or in reality.<br />
<br />
Life can be tough. There are Obstacles. Delays. Disappointments. Distractions. Set-backs. Road Blocks. And Detours.<br />
<br />
But, through it all, we must press on to believe that if God is for us, who (or what) can successfully be against us.<br />
<br />
Nothing is too hard for God.<br />
<br />
He is my Rock. My Refuge. In Him will I trust.<br />
<br />
SURELY, He will deliver me from the snare of the fowler.<br />
<br />
With long life He will satisfy me and show me His Salvation.<br />
<br />
A friend of mine reminded me of the fact that I had written scriptures in the concrete foundation of the area where the BOOM took place. If my memory serves me right, I wrote Hebrews 11:1 (my favorite verse) in that exact spot.<br />
<br />
“Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality--faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].” - HEBREWS 11:1 AMP<br />
<br />
So, for those of you who may be thinking that I’ve disappeared from ministry or faded into the background in not doing my usual cadence of life, please know that I’m in the finale hours of getting my house in order as I make preparation for future assignments.<br />
<br />
Just trying to live what I teach... God first, family second, career (even ministry) last.<br />
<br />
And, through it all, the Lord has reminded this “type A” woman of God that I can’t save anyone. I am a human being and not a human doing. I’ve NOT, by any means, quit the ministry. I’m just in a season of preparation for great things to come!<br />
<br />
Thank you for your prayers.<br />
<br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Psalm 91 AMP</i></span></u></b><br />
<br />
<i>“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].<br /><br />I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust [with great confidence, and on whom I rely]!”<br /><br />For He will save you from the trap of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you and completely protect you with His pinions,<br /><br />And under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and a wall.<br /><br />You will not be afraid of the terror of night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,<br /><br />Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,<br /><br />Nor of the destruction (sudden death) that lays waste at noon.<br /><br />A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But danger will not come near you.<br /><br />You will only [be a spectator as you] look on with your eyes And witness the [divine] repayment of the wicked [as you watch safely from the shelter of the Most High].<br /><br />Because you have made the LORD, [who is] my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent.<br /><br />For He will command His angels in regard to you, To protect and defend and guard you in all your ways [of obedience and service].<br /><br />They will lift you up in their hands, So that you do not [even] strike your foot against a stone.<br /><br />You will tread upon the lion and cobra; The young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.<br /><br />“Because he set his love on Me, therefore I will save him; I will set him [securely] on high, because he knows My name [he confidently trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never abandon him, no, never].<br /><br />“He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.<br /><br />“With a long life I will satisfy him And I will let him see My salvation.”"</i></div>

The Pharisees Spirit is a Spirit of Religion.<br /><br />It is among us every day.<br /><br />It is one of Satan's most cunning lies.<br /><br />It is heavy.<br /><br />It is confusing.<br /><br />It steals our joy.<br /><br />It smothers our childlike faith.<br /><br />It silences the Holy Spirit.<br /><br />It fills us with doubt.<br /><br />It paralyzes us with fear.<br /><br />It chokes us with unbelief.<br /><br />It causes us to be prideful.<br /><br />It causes us to grow cold to the things of God.<br /><br />It will stunt our spiritual growth.<br /><br />It disguises itself as the truth.<br /><br />It boast of rules, opinions, differences, exclusions, and division among God's people.<br /><br />It raises an eyebrow.<br /><br />It is suspicious.<br /><br />It will keep us from being an example of the gospel in the eyes of the unbeliever.<br /><br />Most unbeliever's can identify this spirit immediately.<br /><br />The spirit of religion has caused a lie to be the truth in the eyes of that believer.<br /><br />The spirit of religion is a deadly foe to those who don't know the Word of God.<br /><br />Only the pure Word of God has the power to defeat this spirit.<br /><br />Only those who rightly divide the Word of God can overcome the lure of this evil spirit.<br /><br />In order to stay free from this evil spirit, Christians must humble themselves, pray, get alone with God, PRACTICE LOVE, and read their Bible through the lens of childlike faith - not through the lens of religious dogma or denominational doctrine that hinders the WORLDWIDE "Body of Christ" from loving one another, respecting one another, and learning from one another.<br /><br />Want to be free indeed?<br /><br />Shake loose form the Spirit of Religion NOW.<br /><br />Tell the enemy you will not accept his lies any more.<br /><br />Remember, this spirit will attach itself to Christians at various times to try and put a damper on our faith.<br /><br />It seeks to thwart the Body of Christ from advancing the Kingdom.<br /><br />We need to help one another, love one another, and pray for one another to keep ourselves free from the evil lure of prideful religion that seeks to cause strife among the body.<br />

For you are like graves which are unmarked, and people walk over them without being aware of it [and are ceremonially unclean].”<br /><br />45 One of the lawyers [an expert in the Mosaic Law] answered Him, “Teacher, by saying this, You insult us too!”<br /><br />46 But He said, “Woe to you lawyers as well, because you weigh men down with burdens [man-made rules, unreasonable requirements] which are hard to bear, and you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers [to lighten the load].<br /><br />47 Woe to you! For you repair or build tombs for the prophets, and it was your fathers who killed them.<br /><br />48 So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers, because they [actually] killed them, and you repair or build their tombs.<br /><br />49 For this reason also the wisdom of God said [in the Scriptures], ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will put to death and some they will persecute,<br /><br />50 so that charges may be brought against this generation [holding them responsible] for the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world,<br /><br />51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah [the priest], who was murdered between the altar and the house of God.

<b>A Woman Sees the Risen Lord</b></div>
<br />"Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.<br /><br />But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”<br /><br />So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.<br /><br />Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons. She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe."<br /><br />- Mark 16:1-11 NKJV<br /><br /><br /><div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: "SF Optimized", system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">

On the other hand, a woman who thinks she has no need for spiritual mentoring, who only wants to bask in the clamour of the world, shows forth the residue of pride and arrogance. This woman blows a lot of hot air but makes no real mark on culture. She is shallow, empty, and a stumbling block to those watching. Her offense crosses the lines of all age groups.<br />

Lord, help us to be godly women in all environments, with all friends, and at all times. Help us to value one another and respect one another. Help us to emanate the glory of God when we walk into a room - not because of our outward appearance but because of the inner beauty of a meek spirit.<br />

<br />
<br />
There is only one type of soil that the Word of God settles into. All other soil is either dead or temporary.<br />
<br />
“He told them many things in parables, saying, “Listen carefully: a sower went out to sow [seed in his field]; and as he sowed, some seed fell beside the road [between the fields], and the birds came and ate it. Other seed fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil; and at once they sprang up because they had no depth of soil. But when the sun rose, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. Other seed fell among thorns, and thorns came up and choked them out. Other seed fell on good soil and yielded grain, some a hundred times as much [as was sown], some sixty [times as much], and some thirty.<br />
<br />
He who has ears [to hear], let him hear and heed My words.”<br />
<br />
Then the disciples came to Him and asked, “Why do You speak to the crowds in parables?”<br />
<br />
Jesus replied to them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. For whoever has [spiritual wisdom BECAUSE HE IS RECEPTIVE TO GOD’S WORD], to him more will be given, and he will be richly and abundantly supplied; but whoever does not have [spiritual wisdom BECAUSE HE HAS DEVALUED GOD’S WORD], even what he has will be taken away from him.<br />
<br />
This is the reason I speak to the crowds in parables: because while [having the power of] seeing they do not see, and while [having the power of] hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand and grasp [spiritual things].<br />
<br />
In them the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, ‘YOU WILL HEAR and KEEP ON HEARING, BUT NEVER UNDERSTAND; AND YOU WILL LOOK and KEEP ON LOOKING, BUT NEVER COMPREHEND; FOR THIS NATION’S HEART HAS GROWN HARD, AND WITH THEIR EARS THEY HARDLY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE [tightly] CLOSED THEIR EYES, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, A ND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, A ND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART, AND TURN [to Me] AND I WOULD HEAL THEM [spiritually].’<br />
<br />
But blessed [spiritually aware, and favored by God] are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, many prophets and righteous men [who were honorable and in right standing with God] longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.<br />
<br />
“Listen then to the [meaning of the] parable of the sower:<br />
<br />
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom [regarding salvation] and does not understand and grasp it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road.<br />
<br />
The one on whom seed was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and at once welcomes it with joy; yet he has no [substantial] root in himself, but is only temporary, and when pressure or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he stumbles and falls away [abandoning the One who is the source of salvation].<br />
<br />
And the one on whom seed was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the worries and distractions of the world and the deceitfulness [the superficial pleasures and delight] of riches choke the word, and it yields no fruit.<br />
<br />
And the one on whom seed was sown on the GOOD SOIL, this is the one who hears the word and understands and grasps it; he indeed bears fruit and yields, some a hundred times [as much as was sown], some sixty [times as much], and some thirty.””<br />
<br />

<br /><br /><b>JESUS SAYS, "I WILL."</b><br /><div style="text-align: center;">
"And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I WILL</b>; be thou clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- MARK 1:40-42 (KJV)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
...</div>
<div>
<br />So many times when we pray, we say, "God, I know you can... But, will you?"<br /><br />In Mark 1:40-43, this leper asked the same thing. In the Amplified Bible the words of the leper are easily understood, “If You are willing, YOU ARE ABLE to make me clean."<br /><br />Notice how Jesus was moved with compassion! The NIV Bible uses the word "indignant." This implies that Jesus was feeling or showing anger or annoyance at what is perceived as unfair treatment. Leprosy is unfair treatment. It is unfair treatment from the devil. It also causes unfair treatment; in that, others did not want to be around anyone with leprosy.<br /><br />Do you feel that life (the devil) has treated you unfair because of your sickness?<br /><br />Has your sickness alienated you?<br /><br />Cry out to Jesus!<br /><br />He has COMPASSION for YOU!<br /><br />He says, "I WILL!"<br /><br />Be cleansed. Be healed.<br /><br />Jesus is passing by...<br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/jesusheals?source=feed_text&story_id=10155232564896375">#JesusHeals</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/leprosy?source=feed_text&story_id=10155232564896375">#Leprosy</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/iwill?source=feed_text&story_id=10155232564896375">#Iwill</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/compassion?source=feed_text&story_id=10155232564896375">#compassion</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/indignant?source=feed_text&story_id=10155232564896375">#indignant</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/clean?source=feed_text&story_id=10155232564896375">#clean</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/DeborahRossMinistries/?fref=mentions">Deborah Ross Ministries</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ChooseLifeRadioTVDeborahRoss/?fref=mentions">Deborah G Ross</a><br /><br /><a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.DeborahRossMinistries.org%2F&h=ATPaAQNp14omcyj1bQhYPng1IdV9k5c0BmIPr3WxmnU8Mf-NDJN3crKrAr8r5XxOR4ok_h_z_1BW_8kJywwHRUBr-z-nnprSsSaDNixZk5-OhogNjpjC2xMC9oaEwjulYgeMimWkr4L_5bTDOvkjGsrFiAdw_ZNjmVMwsdKAz76QLt4CPmGx-cIuVeDAZtff2EEMGAkpCkP8vbVwYEB7Ewl7qpF-zl1LonTzFuMEiLhqbXIDb-mKPmQrdACAYda5R34L1XQ0AOKzyDPMlocMksGjEEyxK4LJTFXYUXc6I8yNZeryYATHgUBO0iN68L1oy-twe5pRN8Z6">www.DeborahRossMinistries.org</a></div>

Lamentations 3:22-23 says that it is because of God's great mercies, we are not consumed. God's mercies are new every morning! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Elohim - our creative, covenant God - is always working to bring us into new beginnings. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A restart. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A fresh start.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our Father wants us to live, and move, and have our being - in His image. An image that is full of faith... full of power... full of integrity... full of abundance... full of love... and full of purpose.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Friend, God's mercies are new every morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In fact, His mercies are not only new each morning, but He also gives restarts to each new week, the beginning of each new month, the change in seasons and even the excitement that only comes around once a year. The Lord has strategically placed restarts on our calendar to remind us of how we are to forget the past and press ahead toward the future - a future that is filled with expectation. A future encompassed by blessings!</div>

In this blog post I have put together some bullet point facts that I pray gives you hope for what is to come in 2018. Grab hold of this mini lesson and claim a LIFE that is free from bondage and a NEW BEGINNING that has resurrection and regeneration power to carry you through the 365 days ahead.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Let 2018 be your year of freedom;</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Your year of abundance; </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Your year of restoration;</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Your year of favor;</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Your year of peace;</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Your year of joy!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It all starts with repentance - simply agreeing with God and letting go of those things the Lord has asked you to shake loose from. Allow the Holy Spirit to circumcise your heart (fresh and new) so that you will be found worthy to enter into this new year with confidence; a confidence that is certain of the loving care of Father God, who wants to bless every part of your LIFE. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He loves you!</div>

<b>The Number "18"...</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;">18 represents LIFE - </span></b>The eighth letter in the Hebrew Alphabet, CHET means 8, and the tenth letter--Yud means 10. The number 18 spells the Hebrew word CHAI, which means life.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
The primary significance of the Number 18 is LIFE, but since all have sinned and come short of God's glory, the circle of LIFE (as we know it) can take on the form of both blessings and bondage. Hence, Sin/Death are intertwined with LIFE.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><b>The number 18 can also signify the end of bondage. In such cases, bondage is broken in the 18TH year!</b></span><br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
<div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;">Jesus healed a woman who had a spirit of infirmity that crippled her for 18 YEARS!</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<i><b><u>LUKE 13:11-13</u></b> - "... and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for EIGHTEEN YEARS. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, 'Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.' Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God." </i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;">The Israelites were enslaved to Eglon king of Moab for 18 YEARS, but because they CRIED OUT TO THE LORD in REPENTANCE, God sent a deliverer! So then, they had PEACE for 80 YEARS! </span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<i><b><u>JUDGES 3:12-15 and 30</u></b> - "Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and because they did this evil the Lord gave Eglon king of Moab power over Israel. Getting the Ammonites and Amalekites to join him, Eglon came and attacked Israel, and they took possession of the City of Palms. The Israelites were subject to Eglon king of Moab for EIGHTEEN YEARS. <u>Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and he gave them a deliverer</u>—Ehud, a left-handed man, the son of Gera the Benjamite. </i><i>... </i><i>That day Moab was made subject to Israel, and the land had <u>peace for eighty years</u>.</i><br />
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;">The Philistines and Ammonites oppressed Israelites for eighteen years, but when the Israelites cried out to the Lord and GOT RID OF THEIR FOREIGN GODS, He saved them AGAIN!</span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b></div>
<b><u>JUDGES 10:6-8 and 10 and 15-16</u></b> "Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord. They served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites and the gods of the Philistines. And because the Israelites forsook the Lord and no longer served him, he became angry with them. He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites, who that year shattered and crushed them. For EIGHTEEN YEARS they oppressed all the Israelites on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites... <u>Then the Israelites cried out to the Lord, “We have sinned against you, forsaking our God and serving the Baals</u>.”... <u>But the Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best, but please rescue us now.</u>” <u><b>Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the Lord. </b>And he could bear Israel’s misery no longer.</u></div>

<b>The Number "8"...</b><br />
<i><br /></i>
<span style="color: red;"><b>Eighth Day - Resurrection and Regeneration</b></span><br />
<br />
<i><b><u>MARK</u></b></i><i><b><u> 16:9</u></b> - “Now when Jesus was risen early the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons.” </i><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">888 Represents Jesus</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">David was the 8th son of Jesse. He was God’s King for Israel after the disastrous reign of King Saul. David fulfilled God's will by taking care of God's people. He had a heart of grace which translates as New Beginnings after times of sin.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<i><b><u>1 SAMUEL 17:12</u></b> - “Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse, and who had EIGHT SONS. And the man was old, advanced in years, in the days of Saul.” </i>-<br />
<i><b><u>ACTS 13:22<span style="color: red;"> </span></u></b>- “And when he had removed him (Saul), <u>he (God) raised up unto them David to be their king</u>; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, <u>I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.”</u></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>There are “8</b>”<b>... “And God Said” steps to creation in Genesis 1 (read Genesis 1 and count them)</b></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">The number of Noah’s family that stepped off the ark after the flood was 8. (Noah, his wife, his three sons, his sons wives = 8... this was a new beginning)</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">Circumcision on the 8TH DAY represents the New Covenant.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<i><b><u>LEVITICUS 12:3 </u></b>- “And in the EIGHTH DAY the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.” </i><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Be found worthy after being tried by fire and expect the 8th day, year, etc. to be Holy - set apart - as a time of New Beginnings.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<i><b><u>LEVITICUS 23:36</u></b> - “Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the EIGHTH DAY shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a SOLEMN ASSEMBLY and ye shall do no servile work therein.”</i><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">There are 7 days in a week but the 8th day is the brand new beginning to a brand new week of new opportunities and new possibilities!</span></b><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Are YOU ready for NEW BEGINNINGS?</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span>
<b>Remedy: </b><br />

<br />
It takes faith to turn from a life of sin and turn toward a life of righteousness.<br />
<br />
Although the familiar is killing you, it's all you know.<br />
<br />
Take a leap of faith today.<br />
<br />
Turn and go down a new path.<br />
<br />
A path of life.<br />
<br />
It may seem strange.<br />
<br />
You might be afraid to step into the unknown.<br />
<br />
But friend, this new, unknown path is the only way to life...<br />
<br />
LIFE ETERNAL... LIFE NOW... LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY!<br />
<br />
Trust and Obey.<br />
<br />
Jesus is waiting.</div>
