#PrayerLifeLIT : Do I Pray Too Much?

Hello, My Amazing Family!!!!

Just back with "Another One" *DJ Khaled voice with a Spongebob sly eye* 

Y'all know how goofy I can be, it just gets the best of me and I really can not help it (LOL). 

Anywho, today is the LOVELIEST Day of the week the beautiful Wednesday, where we are right at the peak of it ending BUT right in the middle to have encouragement to keep going. Such an amazing feeling to have another opportunity to press forward in the week to accomplish goals before the turn up the weekend or  for me a camping trip with my family. So I am here and excited!!

Last night, I was on Facebook and just so happened to read an article that talked about being married to someone who operates in the prophetic realm, reading it I related so much, it was weird. Not to even encourage that I operate in the prophetic realm, just it was so close to who I am becoming. I prayed that God just reveal more than ever  on who I am called to be which lead me to think back over my journey. The things that God has allowed me to go through and experience was exactly what needed to happen in order to be the woman I am today. The article mentioned overly praying over everything and even praying LITERALLY all the time. Though, I related I couldn't help but to ask myself...Do I pray too much?

I pray everyday, all day. I pray when I am happy because I know how it feels to be sad. I pray when someone else is hurting and pray for their healing. I pray DAILY that God allows everyone to have an encounter with Him and even at times I feel like I don't pray enough or didn't pray the "right way". I pray that God fixes that and allow my prayers to be effective. I truly believe God's word, I believe that when we pray we are going to God in confidence knowing the anything we ask according to His will, He hears. (1 John 5:14)

My absolute favorite thing about prayer is knowing that in His will HE HEAR US!! 

You mean to tell me that my outcries, my begging and pleading, my expectations, my heartache, my brokenness, my loneliness, and through my confusion that He hears little ole me? I am absolutely OBSESSED with my Heavenly Father. The bible says in 1 Chronicles 16:11 "Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always." Exactly why I encourage such a heavy prayer life, especially dwelling in the prophetic realm where spiritually you are always being "dealt with", it is necessary that we find time to go into prayer multiple times in a moment.

That article encouraged me to pray so let us:

Father God, my heart, my love, my King....Thank You! Thank You for hearing us. Thank you for being so present at all times that when we are in need you are there to pick us up, pat us on the back, dust us off, and place us back in the right direction. Thank You for loving us despite our wrongs, Lord we just want an encounter with you. Show up more than ever, reveal Your heart more than ever. Lord, We are who we are today because You used our mistakes. Like in the Ephesians 1:18 prayer says "I pray that eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,". Thank You for Your spirit and all You have planned for our lives whether it's hurt or happiness. We praise Your holy name in Jesus name. Amen.

I encourage you to enhance and increase your prayer life for this is where blessings are being answered and where miracles are happening. So to answer my question, no I don't pray too much. I have come to the understanding that prayer is where I find my peace and joy by asking for peace and joy. Prayer is where I experience the move of God and always feels His presences by calling on His name. Prayer, for me, is where I kill the enemy and all of His negativity. It's where no weapon formed  against me will prosper and where I am able to find happiness in the mist of my mental tornado storm. Prayer is where I honor, glorify, and love of the Lord because at times I am too prideful to show it in my actions. Prayer is EVERYTHING to me and I will not limit something that place me closer to God for I need Him every second, minute, hour...moment of each and everyday.

Dating The Right Way?

Hey, My Beautiful Family!!!

Lately I have been experiencing some interesting things when it comes to "dating" or "getting to know" someone. It's like if guys aren't intimidated to talk to me, they are making assumptions on the kind of woman I am and where my values lay, or they under underestimate my standards maybe because I have a sweet, welcoming face. I don't say that as a bad thing, I just think that if you don't have any teeth in your mouth your approach should be minimal or you should find a way to fill me out before going in for the kill, but that's either here or there!

Though, I don't judge the extent others have been blessed physically. I do judge how you take care of yourself because at some point we got to the point where teeth didn't matter and I have to say that this is a problem sir. I am probably one of the simplest people someone can date. I don't ask for much but for us to truly be best friends and for you to keep your word AT ALL TIMES. If you say you will love me forever, that's exactly what I expect. Though maybe that's a lack on my terms, because in reality I don't even know if that's enough. Maybe me asking for too little opens that door for so many things to come in, "the list" of a relationship is what keeps the relationship in check and as soon as one of those things are jeopardized its fair game to throw the towel in. I don't think like that and maybe my need for openness hinders the strictness guys need.

When did relationships become so complicated?
Before we even get a chance to say "Hello", we are a challenged and flooded with superficial appearances and societal goals. Everyone has an opinion on what we need in a mate and who we look good with, not knowing the daily struggle to simply be sweet to each other. Though, we hold it together for the sake of "the church". God allows us to have free will, so I ask does your free will focus on happiness, growth, and God or your attempt to make God happy? (email me if this confuses you). God doesn't need your approval to be happy nor does He need you to be looking over your shoulder with the hopes of making Him smile knowing you are miserable. Which opens a whole other line of sin that I can talk about in different post.

See me, I am HAPPILY single and ACTIVELY preparing for marriage, there is no rush but I can't help to think does my desire to get married overshadows my desire to be in a Godly relationship. We must understand that even the slightest approval/disapproval from our parents, friends, and even society takes us out of the will of God. Does your relationship glorify God or what your parents want for you? Our we truly taking the time to ask God what we need in a helpmeet? Do we even know our Godly purpose to even be asking for a purpose partner?

Family, stop letting people regulate with God has for you by putting their opinions before God. We must be extremely eager to seek His face and voice over that of others who may love us but didn't create us. We must be fearless when it comes to walking into things that are ordained for us. Today, I pray that we can be honest with ourselves that though they may physically meet the requirements do they match them spiritually. I pray that we are checking our God list twice not only for what they do in the church but what they can do for us personally. Our helpmeets does not sleep with our parents, friends, or family....What are you doing to secure your future?

Today ask God to simply reveal and mediate on what He wants!

Lets us Pray: Father God, we just want to thank you! Thank You for our helpmeets and thank you for allowing us to be helpmeets. Though at times society and the people around us affect the way we view things, thank You for guiding us back to where we need to be. Thank You for loving us enough to send us help even though we make things seem more difficult than they actually are, Thank you for the relationships that have and will end, grow, and even be mended because you see fit and not because it's in our hands. Lord we give all things back to You. Love you more than everything, I pray that a surrender happens so that nothing is affected when it comes to the things that You want form us. Amen.

Who Run The World....WOG!!!!

Happy Wednesday Queens!!!!

As I sit on my bed, I had a slight thought that I am truly dope! 😂 I have to be so apologetic about it because I don't want anyone to think I am vain but it's just the confidence God has given me to be a woman I thought I could never be. In my previous blog, I think I hint on how God had given me a vision about myself when I was like 12 years old. I would go into details but that's for my book😏. Though, this vision was to set the tone for exactly where I am supposed to be I used it as an opportunity for my personal advancement. It didn't work out in my favor but I am still here becoming her. Better late than never, right?  

Lets us pray:

Heavenly Father, our Savior, our King. We love you more than anything. Father I ask that you utilize me, make my ways, ideas, heart more like yours. As I go forth on today allow me to reach some women that really needed to hear from You. Allow a certain freshness and understanding to take over hearts and allow them to know how they are supposed to be defined in You. We appreciate You and love hearing Your word. To God be the glory who gets all the honor and praise. Amen. 

Sisters, I am just going to have real talk today, forgive me kinda. So often we let people dim the light we have been given through the grace of God because of our inability to truly love who we are as women. Emotionally, physically, mentally, spiritually, we become inferior to other women and especially men because of our insecurities, battles with worth, and lack of trust in God. As we watch others and see them get their way, start their business or ministry, we attack our wonderful Father with "why's?". Why is that? do we not trust Him, do we not depend on Him, do we not love Him like we say we do? We become so affected by a lane that's not ours, when God says I have a bigger, better lane for you. I have a bigger following for you, I have more business minded people I need you to run into, and I need your pride check, ego hidden, and your vision focused on me before I do any shift in your life BUT IT'S COMING!!!!!!.....Am I talking to somebody?

Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know thoughts I think towards you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." THIS IS A PROMISE FROM THE LORD, HE SPOKE IT!!! Our God is not a liar and He does not do evil. HE CAN NOT LIE!!! Sis, do you trust Him and His ways? Do you believe the thoughts He has about you? Take God at His word. Believe His purpose on your life, have faith that He will produce, have hope in His undying ways, we serve that EXACT same God today that David served in the battle with Goliath. God wants us to have an unwavering faith. A faith and trust so rooted in Him, you can't be shifted by what people say about you or how the world views you because your purpose is dedicated to Him and all for the Kingdom.

You say; "But Shay, everyone is doing what God told me to do, now I am just lost and really don't think I should pursue it." SISTER, know that a field, area of career, space of ministry can not be saturated if God ordained you to do it. LET HIS WILL BE DONE!!! Luke 12:31 encourages us to seek that Kingdom above all else and He will give you everything you need. He is our provider, our Jehovah Jireh. He knows our needs and loves to provide for His people after His heart. Psalms 84: 11-12 says "For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You!" TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD!!

Here are 6 ways you can put God first and be the Woman of God you are intended to be;

1. Read The Bible: Stay in the word. Reading the bible allows you to understand that what God says about you. He is a very particular God and particular about His people. The Bible is a really detailed guide through life and God speaks through it in many ways.

2. Stay PRAYED up!! Pray, Pray, Pray, PRAY!!!! Stay in constant prayer with God He wants to hear from Him. He loves hearing your voice and desires to hear your cries. Talk to Him. How do you have a relationship without communication?

3. Fast, eliminate some things in your life. God wants to show you only need Him. Fasting will gain discernment in hearing His voice. This also builds intimacy with God and increases faith.

4. Get Quiet and Worship, Praise, Mediate are ways to go deeper with God. Welcome His presence and just allow Him to dwell. Don't speak, don't ask for anything just sit and be quiet. Close your eyes and dedicate that time to Him with a focus on the Kingdom. Let Him speak to you.

5. Journal. Dedicate sometime to just sit and say "Hey Father/Dad", "Heavenly Father". Pour yourself on to Him and know He hears all (El Shama).

6. GET Convenant Sisters and make divine connections. This was the best step I have ever made! By just allowing other women of God to hold me accountable for who I am called to be. My sisters cover each other all the time and I am so grateful to God for placing powerful women in my life.

Hey! Woman of God, YOU RUN THE WORLD! Allow this to be the guide you use to head out into the world full force. Allow God to provide and guide, while you form into the amazing vessel you were called to be. Eliminate distractions, negativity, and get rid of things that are not conducive to your calling. You are a  piece of God's property and You are called deeper than any business or ministry started. Remember it takes only a few weeks for adorable puppies to be birthed but 2 years for the perfection of an  amazing exotic elephant to be admired into this world. You are an elephant Queen!!!


May you all be blessed!! I pray that God allows us to go deeper in Him. That we take Him at His word and we are not shaken or shifted by what is presented at this time. I pray that we understand it takes time for perfection to be made and though we our not perfect we are perfect because of who He is. Who Runs this??!....Yes Woman of God you do!!

Today meditate on Jeremiah 29:11, Luke 12:31, Psalms 84:11-12

💛Happy First Week Of Spring🌻🌻🌷🌸🌺🌹

Just Figuring it Out

Hey. 😑 (I have an attitude... lol)

So Queens, I am literally on here every Wednesday promoting and encouraging y'all in the Lord. But can I complain today. Every week I make the cautious decision to get extremely quiet and sit at the feet of Christ, not just for myself but literally for all of you!! Though, I will NEVER EVER complain about helping people in their walk. It's just at times.....I simply don't feel like it! 

CATS OUT THE BAG!!!! 
It's something about reveal these cats I have in this imaginary bag that gives me life. "REVEAL THESE CATS Shay!!!" *swings royal sword*....this is me amping myself up to be honest with y'all. (😂😆😭) Hey, this is what I have come to. Just being completely real and honest with myself. I don't know about y'all but I use to lie sooo much too myself, like that time I was going through puberty and constantly called myself cute. When I should have been saying eventually I be cute, one day maybe.*pats 12 year old self on the head*. Though today with confidence, I can say she (I) has arrived!!! Yasssss *ghetto girl voice and hand claps*

Or what about that time, I use to say I loved drinking alcohol, had no explanation for  it was just what was expected from me, coming from the long line of alcohol abuse within my family. Owh, it was this other time when I thought I enjoyed smoking hookah but I HATED IT and my friends use to make me go EVERY WEEK, literally!! Like, this is one of the things that makes me feel sooooo stupid because what is the purpose of hookah? and why is it legal to sit in a room filled with a bunch of strangers and water smoke while smoking water? Things we will never know *ques twilight zone theme music* 
The thing is after a while I just stopped, so I just started going with zero expectation of smoking but all expectations to help pay...I know I am an amazing friend. Though, I don't get it (😹😹, this took myself out at water smoke) 

These are the things I now have to face up to and I'm okay with that because GOD!! *praise break* 
I guess y'all are wondering what do I actually have to complain about. LIFEEEEEEEE and the downs!! Makes you want to give up. This whole week I have been thinking that maybe, just maybe....it's not worth it. Honestly, I don't truly know what I mean when I say that I just said it. It's like I put so much into life at 25 years old is fruit being released from the seeds I have been planting? This is not about anyone else's journey or being somewhere I thought I would be at 25. It's just as simple as am I producing fruit in my life and for the people around me? Am I truly a reflection of Christ? and how can people tell I'm His when I walk into a room?

Lately, I have been so wrapped up in other things I haven't had the chance to consider the answer. I have been in a daze and placing people before myself. The other day, I exhausted myself because I wanted to make sure this individual was comfortable and had everything they needed. They were in a frenzy and overwhelmed, I played the "cool/collected" role and reassured them that everything was handled. While this person was frustrated and upset. I thanked God for the spirit of just "figuring it out".

Proverbs 14:29 says "He who is slow to wrath has great understanding, But he who is impulsive exalts folly". Even though I may have some things I don't have figured out. I am just overly thankful for the patience God has granted me. My ability for self control has been the gateway to my understanding to life. Getting upset, only causes you to be upset. Your focus on how mad you are stops your ability to take action or it delays your reaction and can cause a irrational response. STAY FOCUSED!!

Proverbs 14:33 says "Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding, But what is in the heart of fools is made known." Patiences heightens understanding, which increases your wisdom. If I didn't have the spirit of patience nothing would be done right. If I didn't have understanding I would always need to know why I am doing something. If I didn't have wisdom I would question why all this makes sense.

Sis, I got so caught up in questioning my ability to produce fruit, I was missing the fruit God had been giving me to share. We must, especially myself, get out of the habit of thinking that our lives are ever going to be what we want rather than what God wants. In my mist of doubt and questioning God allowed me to minister to myself. I can get so overwhelmed when He speaks to me because it's so powerful but placing that on my heart to just be thankful for figuring it out blessed me. We have time to figure it out, God is not on a time stamp so however long it takes, it will take. 

Lets Us Pray:

Most High Heavenly Father, we thank You for the spirit of figuring it out. I pray that patience, understanding, and wisdom is install in all of Your children on today. I pray over increase of time and patience to go the course until You reveal. I pray that our eyes are focus on You, our feet are following You, and Your light shines bright in our dark journey. Allow no one to be distracted or discouraged Father and if so, You quickly intercede to release them from any hold. Father, we want to do all things for the Kingdom allow our frustrations to be casted at Your feet as we pursue all things with positivity. Let our response be yes before You even ask use to do anything. You get all the glory, honor, and praise. Let Your will be done! In Jesus name. Amen.

May you all be blessed!! I pray that God allows us all to increase our patience, wisdom, and understanding. As we seek the Kingdom and God, just allow things to be revealed about yourself. EMBRACE the change, gain, conviction, and heartbreak it's all in your ability to produce the fruit God is calling you to share.

Today meditate on Proverbs 14:29, 33. Write down your thoughts and pray.

Maybe ISSA Healing?

🌻Every morning I wake up, my first thoughts are with you & God. 3 years later and I still try to make sense out of it. Maybe, just maybe if I listen a little harder or sleep a little deeper that I will be able to hear the cane metal click from your soft walks or the dragged out creaking the bathroom door makes as you delicately shut it. Maybe, just maybe if I lay still a little longer or close my eyes to mediate a little tighter I will be able to hear the slight clearing of your voice to get out a simple "Hello". That maybe if I had the strength I could get up to get you a glass of water and make you a quick breakfast to get me another 30 mins of shut eye. MAYBE.

🌻Maybe, just maybe. This could be another day, where my focus is on you & not myself. That you are clean, hair done, and dressed. That you are fed, filled with liquids, and have your meds. That you are comfortable, warm, and had rest. Maybe, today won't be too hard & you don't have to ask if I'm tired and insist that I take a nap so you can have your Shay back. MAYBE.

🌻Maybe, I could finish rushing my life to make sure you were apart of it. That, just maybe death would be so far and the memories could flow, just to hear you were proud and tell me stand strong. Maybe, if I zone out enough I could hear one of your "old" sayings and hear you hum your favorite hymns. MAYBE!

🌻Maybe, if I sit in the dark a little longer and close my eyes full of tears I would be able to see you "ow" and "aw" over every meal with a special wink for my sweet potato pies. That you insisted having after your dramatic saying "I'm so full, I could burst." Just MAYBE. If I seen you one more time I would be ok. If I could get some closure, ask for a last hug, and even question you about how you and grandpa feel in love. Maybe, I won't have to wait long because I know you are resting peacefully above.

(Thank You Jesus!🙏🏾)

Let us pray:

Father, I don't know how I will get through this but I ask for Your guidance. That You know my pain and how I cope, You know my heart and how I got through. I pray that today I am able to give someone strength and peace because that's exactly what You have given me. I pray that the unconditional love and light you have given me, oozes out of my pores and lands upon Your people. I pray that you come forth even more as El Mauz (God my strength), El Shama (God who hears), Jehovah Rapha (The Lord who heals), and Jehovah Shalom (the Lord of peace). My whole heart is surrendered to You for Your purpose, use me. Though this will hurt, use me. Though my eyes are full of tears and my heartaches, use me. There is nothing I want more but to be used for Your glory. Father, I love you more then anything and love your people just as You would. Thank You for this opportunity. May we all be at peace at the end of this read. You get all the glory. Amen 🙏🏾.

Talking to Heaven: 

I wanted to dedicate my blog to you, Mrs. Bessie. I want everything that I feel important to have light shined on it and you are the light itself. You are the foundation, creator, and force in itself. You didn't show love you are love. You didn't take no mess or played with it. You are elegance, class, and feminine a true definition of a woman. God fearing, motivational, and the best of spirits, You were unmatched when it came to caring for all. Nothing got past you and for that I dedicated a piece of my life to you. Thank you for being a grandmother. Thank you for being you and continuously showing love. 

In 2014, I lost my grandmother. I was devastated, young 22 year old that couldn't wrap her finger around losing someone close. Someone so influential and legendary, just gone with no true explanation than old age and a failing heart. Decisions had to be made, her body could no longer hold the pain she was feeling and she didn't deserve long suffering due to our selfish ability to just want her around. For long over 70 years, her and my grandfather built a foundation that celebrated love and family, though I am extremely positive that their was family drama it was never on display as an act of covering up but act of respect for the royalty of matriarch and patriarch that reflected off of them. 

I guess, this blog is a reflection of Gods glory to place a praying woman as the head of household. A woman that lost her husband 13 years before she passed and never felt the need to remarry but wore her wedding ring until it got too big and placed it on her necklace closer to her heart. A true Proverbs 31 woman, with a spirit of Mary from Bethany. I wanted to be just like her, I want to be just like her. That even on her death bed, she still worshipped Christ until her last breath. Though, she was a beautiful example of God's favor, I still didn't understand. It took years for me not to be angry and made it hard for me to look at her picture. People didn't understand the ability to hold on nor cared about the level my of hurt. Nobody wanted to talk about it. I had nobody, I had nobody....

I 

HAD

NOBODY😭🙈😔😞

Nobody let me cry on their shoulder, so I took matters into my own hands. I hated the world and I was in so much pain. Have you ever been truly heart broken? The kind of heartache that hurts so bad it feels like a heart attack. I spent weeks in darkness and no one noticed. I cried for weeks but no one cared. I was in so much pain, I knew 2014 was my last year here on Earth and I became at peace with that. The night I was ready to give up was the night I had an encounter with Christ (so much more to the story). The next day I woke up in newness, the air was fresh, I had no desire to drink, I had no pain, all I wanted to do was get dressed and enjoy my day. I was happy? How? I literally just wanted to die hours before. I looked in the mirror and I looked new, tears immediately erupted from me. How could this be? Who could this be? 

The Bible says in Psalms 34:18 "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit". Did God really have so much use for me that my life was valuable enough to save? Was I like King David in Psalms 56:8 "Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll are they not in your record" ” Was God so aware of me that He even collected my tears? 

From that day forward, I had to understand God is involved and aware of our pain, our joys, our failures, and our accomplishments. I understood that He truly was El Roi (God who sees all), He was my connector and source for all of my needs.

Sis, here are 4 ways to overcome heartache:

1. Recognize the pain and understand it is OK to hurt. We all go through hurt but it's not about the pain you endure, it's about how knowledgeable you are about it and overcoming it.

2. Seek the Healer. Seek God as your healer! Just like you tell a doctor your symptoms, tell God how much you were wounded and need His healing touch. He will hear the cries of the broken. God the Father wants to reach down, take your hand, and walk you through your pain. It may take weeks. For many of us it will take years, perhaps even a lifetime to close the wounds of our hearts completely. God will spend as much time and as many years as necessary to help you through it. He wants to gently apply the daily ointment of His Holy Spirit to your heart until your heart is healed. I know this because He has done it with me. When I am down, He lifts me up in many different ways. He is there for me to cry on His shoulder, so to speak, and then sends His encouraging Spirit to get me back up and going again.

3. Reach out to others. My walk has been dedicated to others to not make them feel as I once felt, alone. I know that isolation hurt, to want so bad to have someone around to just listen but want so bad not to be a burden. It's OK to talk it out with someone, swap stories, hug, it's all needed and apart of the healing process. Holding your feelings in only become worse and builds up to a breaking point. 

4. Understand HEALING takes time!!! Sister, take as much time as you need. It's YOUR hurt, you have to deal with it, don't let anyone make you feel that your hurt isn't important. Ignore everyone's ability to make you feel like it's been days, weeks, or years and you are supposed to be over it. Don't allow anymore to control how you heal, it's your pain, as long as you can take it to God you are in the healing process and I am proud of you. Always remember Psalms 147:3 says "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Trust His Word!

So I close this out in complete dedication to My grandmother Bessie Elise Cobb Reese, Happy 100th Birthday my beautiful redhead Queen. May you continue to rest in peace and be my angel. May you continue to personally watch after me and enjoy Heaven with grandpa. May your legacy continue to reside in us as we live daily. May you always be an example for generations to come. May we live out your graciousness and be held to the womanly standards you have set. I love you to Heaven and back.

Today mediate on Psalms 34:15, Psalms 147:3 , Psalms 56:8 & pray over your healing

What's Coming is Going to Stretch You

My Queens, welcome back!!!

Let us pray:

My Lord, my Father, and King. You have been a healer in more ways then I can count and I want to thank you. Thank you for allowing me to be a vessel at Your hands, a light from what You give, and obedient at Your feet. As I go forth with this blog, I asked that You speak directly through me that my words are no longer mine, but they become yours and exactly what You want me to say. Thank you for being You and loving us despite who we are. Thank you for being the source and everything we need especially at our time of need. I can't say it enough, we can't do it enough, so Thank You. We love you so much!! Amen.

As I sit in front of my window, as if it is my desk, with a hot cup of green tea infused with lime juice. I experienced such a peace from the rain dripping off of the tree on to the ground wondering if the snow is actually melting. I got an urge to touch it, just to see if my theory was right. Mostly to see if the weather was eligible to ride my bike. Immediately I knew it was not, cold and rainy is a disaster for ice. I didn't want any parts of enjoying an amazing bike right, but it being cut short due to the no traction of my thin tires meeting ice, separating me from my bike onto the ground. YEP, I will do A LOT of things but falling off my bike is NOT one. I am too old for that. (😆😂😆😖)
Look at this distraction, I rebuke the spirit of blogging for no reason, and rise up the spirit of telling the world about God. Lol!!! After I got over the distraction, I wanted to hear a word which in my fasting life is a substitution of T.V. and watching my pointless shows. Youtube always speaks well to me.

I turn on a sermon by one of my favorite women in ministry. The beautiful Sarah Jakes Robert, where she referenced Joshua 8  and talked about Gods stretching ability to get us out of normality and into His promise. God spoke to me and said "this is it". I never knew I could be so inspired by a message given. I know that they are all meant to make you have a feeling, make you feel an emotion or get you encouraged and eager to press into your walk. This word got me fired up. As I listened harder, I had a heavy thought back to my past and the things I use to do. Through these memories God was able to reveal to me that He  has always had a higher purpose for my life. I realized that moving away from my old ways was the stretching and pulling God needed to call me into an uncomfortable state that would allow me to sit at His feet weekly for the purpose of my perspective. That through my words led by Him, all people  WILL draw closer to Him.

Before, I started my blog I debated so much about it. "Lord, why me?, What do I have to say?, who will listen to me?, what do I even know about You? is it enough?" Through all this doubt in myself I had to remembered Psalms 16:11 "You will show me the path of life; In Your presences is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." God was showing me, my path. I don't care if I get any recognition for it. I just want God to get all the glory and if someone happens to read, I hope my perspective, way of writing, and ability to soak in the Spirit while doing it will save lives. Though, for this, for God's glory, I had to be stretched beyond my wildest capacity and still is being stretch beyond that.

Sis!!, have you allowed God to stretch you beyond your understanding? Have you pressed into all things of God? Has He revealed to you how you can glorify His Kingdom?

As we begin our Christian journeys, we submit ourselves unto Christ, He tells us in Exodus 9:16 "But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all earth". The Lord has a purpose for all of us but it is up to us to allow Him to stretch us beyond our common abilities to understand what is expected from us when it comes to His kingdom. Before I even knew who God was, I remember my grandma asked me a question like "where do you see yourself?" Probably wasn't that simple but I gave a basic answer like "Grandma, I just want to be happy" She stopped me dead in my tracks and made sure I understood that I needed to start praying over what God wanted because what He wanted was way beyond the simplicity of my happiness and anything my mind could fixate on. Like she said "What God wants is bigger then you, start praying over the preparation of your bigger". Though I didn't have a relationship, my grandmother made me understand the power of God. From that day forward I prayed over my preparation and for God to shift me into more. It wasn't right away but my stretching started, I was 15 years old.

I know I am not the only one that wants more from God. I know I can't be that only one that has this burning fire inside of me that makes me want to just break out and speak of all things that is God. I know I am not the only one extremely hungry, thirsty, and pressed for God and His presences. During Mrs. Robert sermon, she spoke on Joshua and how God gave him a promise but not only was his promise solidify, God promised that his preparation for His promise will be installed within him as well. Also, God wanted to make sure that His mind was stretched. Especially after the defeat Joshua had endured right before being sent to another battle. (Joshua 8:1)

Sis, do you believe our Mighty, Loving God for who He is? Do you take Him at His word and trust Him for everything He said was true? Would You trust Him even if He sent you into a losing battle?

The stretching process is not easy but it's a MUST. God is revealing to us that our battles, situations, and testimonies are what we need in order to get everything He promised to us. That this is getting us ready for the plethora of blessings that is going to pour out of heaven. God wants your limits to be stretched passed limitations and to always have the mindset to access where we are going so once we are brought into it, we will know what to do with it.

We have to become comfortable with God's word and know that He takes what we have in our hand and gives us what we need in the mist of an ambush or our hard times. Sis, stop focusing on what's coming after you or who is trying to take you out but focus on what He said He will give you. It's victory in that. Know the fight doesn't end at the victory, in the mist of the ambush, there is another ambush happening that is going to place you where you need to be and make way for the places that you are suppose to go. God has your back, TRUST HIM!!

Once we realize that the stretch is given to us from the Most High and it isn't just something God uses to be mean but to mold, chains begin to break. The spirit of fear, is no more and we move beyond any level of fear that was once controlling us. Allow your life to be a testimony of the goodness of God by just simply stretching yourself passed everything that has a stronghold on you. Know that what's coming is going to stretch you!

May you all be blessed!! I pray that God continues or starts seasons of heavy stretching, where we are brought to our knees in surrender because the Kingdom will look mighty fine when we have been stretched and Gods preparation needs are met. 

May God recieve all the glory.

Today mediate on Joshua 8, Exodus 9:16 , Psalms 16:11 & pray over your process

Inspired by a sermon given by Sarah Jakes Robert "Stretched to capacity"

Walking Away from Self-Prejudice and into Yourself

To My Lovely Kings & Queens

Let us pray: 

"Heavenly Father, Our King, Our Provider, Our Love and whole heart. As You placed the subject on my heart, I thank You for allowing the Holy Spirit to consume me and reach Your people. As I go forth, I pray that I only give my story but Your light and Spirit is heightened in me. While I personally, become decreased and You increased. That this posted is what You want, for Your glory, gospel, and Kingdom. Tear us away from anything that is not of You and allow these words to be building blocks for Christians seeking Your Kingdom wholeheartedly. Allow this to be a passage for Your children in trouble and don't know where to start when it comes to building a relationship with You. Allow me to be a true reflection, vessel, and Light for You onto others. Allow us to become bold, beautiful, and completely brave when it comes to all things of You. Father, we love You so much. Thank You for not giving Your heart in pieces and always being available for us. Thank You for not hiding Yourself just to tease us but being so faithful though we are unworthy. Thank You for being pure, teach us how to be just like You. So much less of ourselves. Amen"   

Y'all I have dilmas daily,(LITERALLY!!) I find myself labeling  myself according to how I feel on that day or by a situation that I had encountered. Most of the time, I am a baddie (😭), truly super beautiful, glowing skin, extremely goofy, smart, and I absolutely LOVE fashion so I would like to think I keep myself up (great qualities right?...yes I am single lol). This is literally 90-95% (<---unrealistic percentages) of the time and no! I am not conceited (😏), just very confident...I know what I deserve. Though other times, I get lost in the sauce, thinking that I am lacking, unworthy, or even less than on certain days. Terrible right? I would like to say that a lot of us can relate or is it just me? Am I the only one that seems to get defeated when it comes to certain things or situations like rejection? Am I the only one that battles with self- prejudices and the dangers it brings into my life?

Today, I want to challenge you sis on three things. The way you see God, the way you see yourself, and the way you see others. Some may look at my last questions and say I doubt myself and God's ability a lot. I would agree, when I first started my walk it was cute. I had an encounter with God and He lead me to never want to leave His presences. It felt that good, I was that free, and I had immediately fell in love with Christ. I didn't trust Him though! Save the dramatic grasps, we are being real and getting down to the point. I loved Him, didn't trust Him but would never be the same without Him. I was so content with that, until I learned that my life wouldn't gain the proper shift without my full dependency on my Father. This stage is where I learned that my "doubt" in God was more of self-prejudice or my opinion about myself and I didn't even have knowledge of who I was. Now follow me, because sis I am here to help you walk away from that, right into who you are ordained to be.

Prejudice is defined as an opinion you have about something or someone that is formed without knowledge. So I would say basically, a hater. When you speak down about yourself or have these preconceived thoughts about who you are or who you are supposed to be without knowing who you are in Christ says a lot about you and where you are in your walk. See so often, we carry these extremely heavy weights of titles, situations, and issues we have gained from this world. Things that were never ordained by God but we hold on praying that we become "blessed" from enduring things that was never called onto us. Meanwhile, God is continuously  giving plenty of signs to let go. Question: How can you have thoughts about yourself without opening your bible to know and fully understand what God, your Creator, says about you? 
For  Ephesians 1:7 , says " In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace." Sis, you have been saved from your past, why haven't you walked into your present?
Sis, this self-prejudice must be cut loose!!

I understand we have doubt. To have doubt or to be doubtful in yourself is to feel uncertain or to have fear. I have noticed this is normal when starting or being in your Christian walk. Doubt in yourself can be good, because it is a understanding that our trust in God has to supercede and overshadow what we can do as individuals. Proverbs 3:5, tells us to trust God and to not lean onto our own understanding. Trusting God more than doubt in ourselves is a key to going forth in God's shift for us. Having self-prejudice though, is a clear indication that you don't trust God and what He says about you. You must see Him as a liar, which damages the way you see His people. This ultimately places you in sin and completely out of His will. 

Sis, I know you can't help it. Especially, when so many things and people in this world want to believe God isn't so big and mighty. This is why as women and men of God, we MUST use God's word as our anchor and have faith. We must understand that God has no negative thought about who we are, even when we sin and allow our flesh to overshadow our soul and the Holy Spirit He sends us. We must make a very cautious decision to focus on the Lord at all times and believe the Lord no matter what! Know that God has already named you and the devil wants to affect that by giving you thoughts and emotions about yourself before you can fully understand who you are in Christ. 

WE MUST OPEN OUR BIBLES!! 

I dare you, on today, to see yourself how God sees you. Self-prejudice is extremely dangerous because if you can believe a lie about yourself, imagine what the devil can make you believe about God and His people. Believing in lies is believing in the devil's truth. These lies stop you from walking into your destiny and hinders your ability to hear from God and the promises He wants you to recieve. Let go of the fears of the world, for these fears come when we forget God is with us. God wants you to know that you are untouchable, we must live like people of faith and develop an awareness that knows you are never alone. 
(Isaiah 41:10 )
Understand that what's impossible with man is possible with God. 

I challenge you to focus on Jesus for faith and strength. Self focus will allow you to see your flaws but will also allow you to see why God chose you. The world needs you to be you! For no one benefits when you are not who you are called to be. Believe what God says about you. Fill yourself with the Word and believe the best about yourself, God, and His people. Self-prejudice has to be rejected in order for us to be in God's will. Know when God speaks He changes the perspectives of yourself.  

May you all be blessed!! I pray that self-prejudice and the dangers are no longer an issue. That we are able to rise above all things to see and recieve the glory of God while we are able to pick up our cross and truly submit to His ways. I pray that the way God sees us is enough and our hearts can fully be consume with proper teaching to cleanse anything self-prejudice brings. 

May God recieve all the glory.

Today mediate on Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 3:5, Isaiah 41:10 & Numbers 13:27-33
