TO COVER OR NOT TO COVER

After been on both sides of the fence so to speak (been senior pastors of a congregation, part of a denomination, and just been a itinerary woman minister), I am always confounded by the first words asked when you approach churches/Ministers about working together in their town to create a day of fun for woman.



the big question "WHO'S COVERING ARE YOU UNDER"



Now don't get your knickers in a knot. I believe in covering and that we should not be moving around like lone rangers on our own little horse. But I wonder where did all the great names of faith start out?


I might not be a pastors wife anymore but does that mean my calling is taken away from me has God changed His mind because my hubby felt lead to do more for God in the market place and the denomination we where under didn't understand what we where trying to do?






I might not preach to thousands or have a following of people, but my heart is to see the woman of God restored made whole...






Don't worry I do have a covering; and that covering has not come just because I cute but because there is a relationship and a accountability with them.






I just wonder at times how many Godly gifted people have been misunderstood and forced into lone ranger state because of the big question! Just wondering just wondering!!

Love always

GOD MOVED MY HEART

As I sit here on my porch and just watch my dogs play, and I relax with a cup of coffee; I think about this morning and even our wonderful dinner with friends last night, I am all choked up. Sounds strange because I am having a wonderful day;
This morning as I was driving to do some groceries and just get some treats for the kiddies that are coming home tomorrow. I pasted 3 ladies again on the side of the road begging. Yesterday I was watching someone preaching on the God channel, and he asked this question, What moves you to tears at the moment, did mother Theresa ask someone if she could do this or that or did she go and do what God was moving her heart to do? Why are you complaining about not knowing what to do when God has already highlighted what He wants you to move on?
I was blown away because every time I drive past these ladies my heart breaks, I come home in tears and I know that this is what God is moving my heart to do.
I am not going to tell you what I did today but let me tell you my heart is rejoicing in the fact that at last I am obedient to what the Lord has been prompting me to do for a long long time.
All I ask now if anyone has idea’s on nutrition for these little ones please email me as I am wanting to do this on a full scale, to make sure each one even if its once a month in the beginning to give a food parcel aimed at the baby on the mom’s back and even a few things for mom.
I am doing this out of my house money so please pray with me that I will find bargains all the way.
These babies deserve a chance to live and find life in Christ.

Love always

MY HEART BEFORE YOU

As I sit at my computer and my heart is in a place of rejoicing and contemplating at the same time. I had such a wonderful morning of worship and just pouring out my heart before the Lord, I find myself in a place of absolute admiration of who Jesus is in my life and what He is sharing with me at the moment.
I have a friend that was very hurt in ministry and even though there is a wonderful call on her life, she is in a place of what now Lord, is there still time to have the promises that He promised in her early days, and this made me think of Caleb that even in his eighty’s he still pressed in and got his promised land. There is a ministry call on her life but it seems to evade her, as if there is this dance of near then far away. In my time of worship this morning I declared in the heavenlies that the call that God has on my life will be fulfilled in my life.
I am in the place of rejoicing because God has given me a mandate and I know that I need to fulfill it. I am no longer going to hide behind what I think people want to hear, I don’t want to hear that I cant fulfills Gods calling, because I am a woman married to a man that doesn’t want to be in ministry but wants to support my ministry, YES girls that’s right I have such a desire to be back in full time ministry, where my husband only wants to support he is a market Minister and feels that is where God has called him to so that he can be a financial source to people in ministry, for longer enough I have listened to man and not to God almighty that has called me from the foundations of the earth, that ordained me by His hand to be His workmanship. I know that some of you reading this might not agree with me but I know that God has spoken and I need to take note of this.
How is this going to work I don’t know God has given me the beginning and end picture, and I know that as I take hold of His hand and allow the Holy Spirit to guide me every step of the way and I know that these will be baby steps, do I quit my day job not until God tells me too. What do I need to do next I have no idea all I know is what is set before me, today I was freed from bondage of the fear of man! Yes! Praise Jesus! I am going to minister until Jesus comes to fetch me! At 120!
Today I ask you my dear dolla’s to keep me in your hearts and prayers, as the Father leads each one I know you will share with me! I trust the Lord for mighty steps in Him, I feel like a little girl getting ready to dance on my Fathers feet, to feel the strong might hand of my father leading me in the right direction! The word of the Lord came to me saying I will be called Hephzibah “HIS DELIGHT” Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus!!!!
Victory, Victorious (3nikao) Scripture Index for nikao"to conquer, overcome," is translated "(them) that come victorious (from)" in Re. 15:2, RV (AV, "that had gotten the victory"). See CONQUER, OVERCOME, PREVAIL....
This is the name the Lord has given me from here on its just Prayer, not sure of what I need to do with this name but in time He is faithful and will give me more…..

Love always me

ON TARGET WEEKEND

Great King your bride is an army! Is a line from a song we sing at church, this weekend was awesome words can not express what I am feeling on the inside. How great is our King and Father, how can I describe His faithfulness and power I stand in awe of who He is.

I said to Rene as we where getting me wired for sound, I am so nervous and the day I stop been nervous is the day I will never minister again. For the last three years I have never ministered prophetically because of various reasons, which I am not going to discuss here. This would have to be a blog all on its own. I have continued to use the gift that God has given me but more on a one to one basis and not in the church as a whole. So there I stood first having to teach on the office of a prophet and the spirit of Prophecy and the gift of prophecy, (I am not a teacher by nature) I am so passionate about the body of Christ, all I want to see is people walking in there destiny, I want to teach them to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd that they don’t need a prophet to speak to them and tell them what to do but rather to confirm what God has already spoken to them!

I have seen the body of Christ so hurt by the abuse of this gifting and all I asked the Father was use me as an instrument to teach Your bride how not to be abuse or abuse others by the miss use of the prophetic!

The lifestyle of some one called to the prophetic should be the following and this is where I feel the body has been abuse when a prophet is not doing the following:

1. Slow to suspect – quick to trust
2. Slow to condemn – quick to justify
3. Slow to expose – quick to shield
4. Slow to belittle – quick to appreciate
5. Slow to hinder – quick to help
Slow to resent – quick to forgive

How many times I have seen people prophecy thus says the Lord and then to read it from Elijah’s list or find out that the person was privy to a conversation about some one! Ezekiel 13 warns us about these prophets!

I feel so honored to have been used again in a total prophetic weekend, so blessed to see people moved by how much God loves them!
