As You Party :) Reflect !!



It is the last day of an amazing yet, challenging year. My challenges changed me for the better as the power of Christ was made manifest in my weakness.

First, we lost our unborn child, then my beloved dad went ahead to the other side of heaven. I know because of my hope in Christ that I will see them in eternity.

The most important thing that happened to me this year was my baptism with The Holy Spirit. February 15th, 2015 is when the power of Christ living inside of me was activated. God opened the eyes of my heart and shown me the riches of His glory which is part of my inheritance as a citizen of his Kingdom.

The lack of knowledge of my inheritance blessings made available by Christ Jesus was slowly killing before this baptism. The Word came alive to me in a way that only The Holy Spirit could discern. I don't look at life the same ever since I realized I had the same power that raised Christ from the death living inside of me. 
Before this experience with The Holy Spirit, I was not content in several areas of life. I now understand that Christ has already given me everything I need. It is God's desire that I enjoy life on earth as it is in heaven.

Usually, at the end of the year, I would be hoping and begging God to make the new year a good one. 

Does this sound like you?

On this last day of 2015, l'm thanking our Heavenly Father for already providing every thing I will ever need. I'm thanking Him for revealing himself to me and showing me my authority as a believer. I'm thanking God for already preparing a table before me in the presence of my enemies. I'm thanking God because above all things His desire is for me to prosper and to be in good health always.

The Holy Spirit has been speaking this word to me lately.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,”
Ephesians 1:3 NKJV

You see, we are already blessed :)!

Rather than pray and beg God to bless me this year, I'm thanking him for already blessing me two thousand years. I'm thanking Him because all the blessings of Abraham are mine because of what Jesus did on the cross. I'm not under any curse because of sin; Christ redeemed me from the curse of the law. I'm under grace which is a free gift available to all willing to receive. Christ took my curse and became poor so I can be his righteousness and share in his riches and the enemy under my feet because Christ lives in me.

My prayer for this year is; “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of my understanding being enlightened; that I may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward me that believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.”
Ephesians 1:17-21 NKJV

I therefore, know and believe that I'm walking in all, not some, of the blessings made available by Christ this year 2016. I'm favored and already blessed because all the promises of God are true.

I pray that you open your hearts and receive all the blessings of Abraham this year, 2016 and always. If you are not a believer, accept His amazing grace and start walking in divine favor. All you need is to believe and receive the finished works of the cross of Christ Jesus.

Don't let an already defeated enemy condemn you and remind you of your short comings. Remember, the power of Christ is made known in our weakness. You don't have to try to be right/perfect to come before God. Jesus will make you right and will give you a perfect spirit once you get Him in.

“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
Galatians 3:13-14 NKJV


Dwelling in His presence and being His oracle is all I desire for 2016.

What is your desire for 2016?
 
Think it, write it, see it, speak it, and it shall come to pass because you serve a faithful God full of Grace.



Happy New Year 2016!!

42 and Pregnant! Yes! Glory Alleluia!

  Hello there, It’s been a while!   How are you doing? I pray this finds you in good health and a happy state of mind. If not, cast all your cares to Jesus, he wants you to do life with him. It’s been a while since I wrote on this blog. A lot has happened since the last time we communicated. We all went through the pandemic. What a crazy season that was. I was talking to my husband the other day and truly felt God gave us a jubilee year(a year of rest), to restate and refocus. What the enemy meant for evil God turned it for good. I know many of us lost loved ones which is very disheartening. May the memories with them always bring us joy when we think of them. They are gone but never forgotten. They’ve become our cloud of witnesses if they died in Christ right? In my last communication with you I shared about the behind the scenes of every picture. What we see is really not what may be going on although pictures are worth a thousand words. If you did not read that post I encou...

How I met Prince Charming!

Image
Everyone has a story of how they met their Prince Charming. Yours maybe be more exciting than others. Or maybe, more awkward than others. Well, let me give you a chance to make the judgment in my situation. January 2007 was when it all started in South Bend Indiana. For those of you who don't know, January is the coldest, snowiest month of the year with icy roads. As the weather forecaster always says, "if you have no reason to be outside, stay indoors." For several years, I made it a habit to journal  important events in my life . Specifically, to look back with a thankful heart and see what lies ahead of me.                                   (we are no ordinary couple, we have a supernatural deliverer, Jesus Christ.)   January 30th is a big deal in my little world. As I sat alone in my empty apartment, I could hear the echo's of my breath. Usually, waiting to receive a call f...

A Mother's Bond

The connection we have with our children  is very powerful. The bond can not be broken. It is a love like no other. A love that speaks from the heart with a very powerful intuition. God made us carry them in our bodies for almost 10 months. This pregnancy process is a bonding mystery. Feeling the baby move and it can actually respond when you talk to them. I remember my babies giving me kicks of assurance when I asked if they are ok in there. What a magical feeling it is. The bonding continuous as we hear the first cry that pierces our hearts, nursing them, waking up at night and going through days with very limited sleep. Stirring at them to see if we'll see a body part actuall grow instantly. All the smiles and crying only builds up a stronger bond etc. We get soo attached to them that even leaving them home with our husbands is scary. Yet, we have to trust God and pray that we meet them alive when we return. I realized that this mother child bond is the same way God wants us to ...
