Are You in Harmony with Yourself or Torn Apart?

images-5

Dear Child,

All My creation was created for a purpose and to work in harmony and peace on the earth. You were also created to live in harmony and peace, that is why My word tells you, to live at peace with all men where possible. Most of all live in harmony with your own being, may your body, soul and spirit be in harmony, that you might know peace! Be led by the spirit and you will know peace! When you have this harmony and peace in your own being, it will be easier to live at peace and in harmony with others. 

You cannot love others if you do not love yourself, 

You cannot have peace with others if you are not at peace with yourself.

You cannot forgive others if you can’t forgive yourself.

Be led by the spirit and you will like yourself and have peace and harmony within.

                                                  Thus saith Papa.

Gal 5:14  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

1 John 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Self forgiveness is a necessary step in self acceptance leading to self love. 

Self love is a necessary step in loving others as ourselves.

CHALLENGE: Are you still holding yourself captive in a prison of guilt from mistakes from the past? God has forgiven you, have you forgiven yourself?  Forgive                  yourself that you might be able to forgive others.

Faithful in All Seasons

Dear Child,

Have assurance of My love for you, which is displayed in only wanting the best for you! 

Humbly submit to My sovereign workings in all seasons of your life. If you do this you will find rest for your soul, for you will then be dwelling in harmony with My will for your life.

Trust Me! If you do not trust Me, you do not really believe that I love you! Love is built on trust.

Have I not been faithful in the past?

Believe in my faithfulness today in all things.

Trust my faithfulness for the future.

I am the Lord, I change not.

Build upon my faithfulness of the past, and you will have a solid foundation to build your hope for the future upon.

I am the Rock, I will not move, I am called Faithful and True.

I am dependable.

                                           Thus saith Papa

Genesis 8: 22  While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not.

Jeremiah 29:11  For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

CHALLENGE: Build a foundation of trust in His love towards you for the future, by listing all your past and current blessings from His Faithful Hand . You can see the evidence of His faithfulness during each new season on the earth. Likewise you can also trust His faithfulness in each new season of your life.

My Ordination with AGIF at Norwalk Conn

PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW

It was such an honor and privilege to have pastor Dan Mariano ordain me at the Assembly of God International Fellowship Conference only a few days ago. Although his sudden passing away yesterday to be with His Lord is such a shock to us all and grieves us for he shall be so sorely missed, it makes my ordination even more special yet mixed with such sweet sorrow. Although I am not sure but I do believe that ordination was his last official assignment here on earth, which makes the words he spoke when he prayed over me even more impactful on my life and ministry. May those words and example of his life cause me to follow Christ as he followed Christ.

Premature Falling Leaves

IMG_4280

Dear Child,

Your life is hid in Me. Your life is hid in our intimate times together. The source of your life is hid beneath the soil in your root structure. From that root structure sprouts the potential for every season of your life.

                                          Thus saith Papa

I was sitting under the shade of a large willow tree while I was having this communion with my heavenly Papa. I noticed leaves falling prematurely from the tree due to the lack of rain from a summer drought, and I asked the Lord, 

“But, Papa, what are the leaves that often fall from my life grounded in you?”

Dear Child,

If you do not water, nourish and protect consistently your spiritual root structure, the leaves that begin to fall are the leaves of FAITH, followed by dried up leaves of HOPE, and the discolored leaves of OBEDIENCE!

Without leaves, which nourish a plant, there will never be fruition of your destiny. A plant without leaves will never blossom and bear fruit. Feed and water your root structure daily and consistently that healthy leaves of FAITH, HOPE and OBEDIENCE, in due season, will reap the abundant fruit of your destiny.

Do not let the garden of your life of faith be covered by fallen dried up leaves of lost opportunity, lost time and lost potential.

                                                A warning from Papa

Hebrews 11:6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Romans 15: 13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in HOPE, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

James 1: 22 But be ye DOERS of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

CHALLENGE: Invest daily in your spiritual root structure by communing with your heavenly Papa that you may have FAITH to trust, confidence to HOPE and discipline to OBEY in all seasons of life. 

A flower always leans towards the sun blooming in its presence. 

Likewise our lives will only bloom as we spend time in His presence

Your Thinking Box is not BIG enough for God

god-in-a-box

There are many ways that the Lord uses to heal, restore and give us the miracle we need. He is much too mighty for us to try to keep him in our theological box. I know through my own physical, emotional and spiritual ailments He chose to use many different ways and vessels to heal and meet my needs, whether it be through my prayers, my friends faithful prayers, laying on of hands, anointing with oil, doctors, surgeries, medicine, counsel of Godly wisdom, or His instant miraculous touch or over a period of time. I know behind every method or vessel it is really His Hand extended to me and give Him all the honor and praise due His Name for I absolutely believe in all circumstances as the word tells us in Exodus 15:26 “ For I am the Lord that healeth thee”.

If you are looking for a miracle in any area of your life. If you are living under the weight of hopelessness and despair I want to share my story with you when God miraculously touched my body, soul and spirit after a tsunami hit my life over a short period of time leaving in its aftermath a body wrecked with heart surgeries resulting in a stroke and seizure, eye surgeries when I almost lost my eyesight, cancer surgery resulting in losing half my nose, liver poisoning, shoulder surgery leading to addiction to narcotic pain killers, suffering from two bouts with lyme disease, an emotional soul drowned in clinical depression and a broken spirit that could only cry out from the depths of my being “Oh, God help me!” Please read about my experience in my book “DEVELOPING A SECRET HISTORY WITH GOD” to inspire and encourage you to believe for your miracle.

CHALLENGE: Refuse to put God into a little box that you can handle.

Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Psalm 78:4 Yea, they tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
