THE PRAYER LINE

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God.  I pray that you are all in good health and that you are blessed by the Spirit of the Lord as you follow after Him.

Since "Spiritual Growth for Women Ministry", was birth by the Spirit of the Living God, I have been sending blogs. I thank you all for being with the ministry for 4 years.  Some newbies as well.  I have started sending messages through YouTube, I want you ladies to know that I am still available for prayer or someone to talk to or just someone to touch and agree with you on.  

The Prayer Line:  404-453-0588.

I do realize that men have also been blessed by either my videos or written blogs and I thank you for reading but this ministry is a women's ministry and I will only accept calls from women.

MY SISTER'S KEEPER

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I pray that you are blessed and highly favored of our Lord Jesus Christ as you follow after Him.

(Ecclesiastes 4:9-12), Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:  If one falls down, her friend can help her up.  But pity the woman who falls and has no one to help her up!  Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.  But how can one keep warm alone? Though one many be overpowered, two can defend themselves, A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

In not directed today's message towards anyone in particular, I am expressing myself as fed up.  Fed up at the way that we (those of us whom call ourselves Christian women), tearing each other down every chance we get.  The reason why I am speaking to those that are Christian women is because the meaning of a Christian is not a religion, it is a lifestyle.  A lifestyle to at least put forth the effort to live Christ-like.

Woman of God, this message is for those of you that truly desire a release and a spiritual shift in your relationship with God and in your prayer life.  If you don't have at least one godly friend then you need to pray that the Lord will send you one.  You need a friend that is spiritually connected to God. 

Your friend should be able to discern whether or not you are dealing with some issues in your life without even telling her.  A Godly woman understands that you don't need a "girl let me tell you what I would do" advice.  Meaning, she will never talk down on you or about you.  She won't post your business on Facebook or Twitter.  More importantly, she knows how to say "I'm sorry".  In turn, if this is the type of friendship that you desire, you must also be of the same spirit.

True sister's in Christ, should be able to tell the other when she is wrong about a situation and still be friends.  True sister's in Christ, pray not prey for each other.  True sister's in Christ don't get jealous when one gets a title in church.  True sister's in Christ don't offend or pretend but they defend one another.

If you and your sister in Christ are going through a spiritual battle, instead of talking about your situations together, start praying together and watch God shift in the spiritual realm, turning it around for your good.  All things work together for the good, to them that love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.  One can chase a thousand, two can chase ten thousand.

ONIONS

I pray that you are blessed by today's message and that you have an awesome day.  God bless you.

(2 Peter 5:10-11), And the God of all grace, who called you to His glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.  To Him be the power for ever and ever.  Amen.

ENTERTAINING FRIENDS

(Matthew 12:43-45)

When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through and places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, "I will return to the house unoccupied, swept clean ad put in order, Then it goes and takes than itself and they go in and live there.  And the final condition of that man is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.

FULL ARMOUR OF GOD - BREASTPLATE

THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD (PT. II)

THE BREASTPLATE

ARMOUR OF GOD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmeR_O61L_E

Ephesians 6:11-12

Put on God's whole armour that you may be able successfully to stand up against the strategies and the deceits of the devil

For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood (contending only with physical opponents), but against the despotism, against the powers against (the masters spirits who are) the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

This is sort of a practice run . . . it'll get better.  God bless you.

CIRCLES OF LIFE

CIRCLES OF LIFE - YOU WILL KEEP GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES UNTIL YOU CHANGE DIRECTIONS, CHANGE YOUR COURSE AND BREAK FREE!

The other day, I was enjoying one of my favorite movies.  As a writer, I am always on duty, and I am always looking for the next message from the Lord, with pen in hand.  I get a lot of these catchy titles from the Lord and what to write to enable the people of God to grasp what God is showing them or the point that He wants to get across.

Anyway, in the movie, there is a scene that the Lord had me to focus on.  He said, "That is what many of my people are doing this very day.  Okay, so let me set the scene for you.  This man was in the Sanity Ward of a Turkish prison.  He was not as insane as everyone else in that ward but he was getting there.  And the longer he remained there, the more he began to look and act like the others.

There was a pole in the center of this room and about 20 of the insane prisoner would just walk around this pole going clockwise.  All day long, they walked in a clockwise motion around the pole. They never spoke and they never changed directions.  The new guy finally decided that he was going to try to change the direction that they were walking.  He got in that circle and started walking in the opposite direction.  They didn't pay him any attention, they stayed on course.  At one point, he even tried to physically turn them around, but they just didn't get it.

Today God says to you, "I am trying to turn you around but you just don't get it.  You keep going around and around in circles.  You just don't get it."  You put God in a box when you have the mindset that you have always done things like this or like that.  God wants you to change course, change the directions that you are going, because you are headed for a big fall.  If you do not change your ways you will only have gone around in circles, ending up in the same position (state of mind) that you started, when you first got saved.  If you don't change course, you will began to look and act just like the Christians that only remember that they are saved on Sundays.

Some of you repeat the same prayer (repetitive prayer almost like you have it written down on a piece of paper.  You sing the same songs and say to yourself, I've been doing it this way all my life, why change now?  Why do something new?  You want God to do something new in your life, but you keep God in a box.  CHANGE COURSE MY SISTER, CHANGE COURSE!

Heavenly Father, I thank you for loving me enough to speak to my heart today.  Father, I pray that you forgive me for my sins in the name of Jesus.  Father, I realize that I have not changed since the day that I first received you as my Lord and Savior and I am praying now Father that you help me to change the course and direction that my life is going.  Father, I do not want to remain in the same state, day after day.  My desire is that I get to know you more intimately through prayer and worship.  Today Lord, I am changing direction to move in the way that you need me to move, in Jesus name, Amen!

ONE THING AT A TIME

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I pray that you are all blessed and highly favored of the Lord on today. The Lord has a great message for us today. Thanks for reading.

(Ephesians 3:16-19), I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

One day at a time! That's the Lord's message for you today. I think about the times that I spent in church services or classes and I was often reminded of the numerous of sins that are not of God. No sin is of God. You sit and listen to the pastor's message and you are moved by the words but deep in the back of your mind, you know that the sin that he is preaching about, is something that you are still struggling with. While you are in church and are being convicted of a particular sin or sins in your life, it is the Holy Spirit that is tugging on your inner being. The Spirit of the Lord is working on delivering you.  The pastor might be the one that lay hands on you, but without the anointing of the Holy Spirit you will not be delivered.

Woman of God, I want to encourage you today, to take one thing at a time. If you are trying to deal with everything that is going wrong in your life all at one time, this can be a very tremendous burden to you and you'll feel defeated before you have even begun. Start with the little things and work your way up. I was delivered from smoking cigarettes, I don't know how many times. Trust me God was not surprised and God knows how many times you will get delivered, He wouldn't be God if He were surprised at anything that we do.

Once the Lord sees that you are at least willing to try to become more like Him, He will move mountains on your behalf. God is so compassionate and patient. The Lord God wants you to be free from sin, and if you want the same thing, then you and God are now working together. It's better to work with the Lord than to work without Him. It's better to walk with Jesus, than to walk alone.

One thing at a time, ladies. One thing at a time! GOD BLESS YOU!  LET US PRAY!

Heavenly Father I pray that you forgive me of my sins on today. I'm praying I received Your deliverance and that this time I will be able to hold on to it.  I give You all the praise for my life and my families life.  Speak to my heart Lord and I know I will be headed in the right direction.  Thank You for my life and giving me another chance to get it right.  In Jesus name, Amen.

THE BIBLE - JUST PRAY

Good Morning Mighty Woman of God.  I pray that today's message from our Lord Jesus finds you in excellent health and that whatever you are praying for, believing that the Lord will do for you, I speak that the Spirit of the Lord will do for you.

(Romans 5:6) I do not walk after the flesh.  Although I might and no doubt will sin; I am not purposely sinning.  Praying about, asking for God's grace.

(Romans 7:15 and 18) Let Christ be strong in your weaknesses; let Him be your strength on your weak days.  Do not receive condemnation; walk in the Spirit.  The devil condemns us with the lie that you are out of reach to hold on to Christ; you are never out of His reach.

(Romans 9), Take comfort and be encouraged and confidently and boldly say, "The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm; I will not fear or dread or be terrified.

I encourage you to take a positive look at the possibilities of the future and speak of those things that are nonexistent as though they do exist (see Romans 4:17).  Think and speak about your future in a positive way according to what God has placed in your heart; not according to what you have seen in the past or are seeing even now in the present.  He has a great future for you. Believe it and confess it!

(The Everyday Life Bible - Joyce Meyer) LET US PRAY!

Heavenly Father, I pray that You forgive me of all my sins.  I pray that by Your Spirit I am strengthen, and that I am walking in Your Peace.  I prophecy to myself, that NO weapon formed against me prosper.  Father I know that there are times when I don't feel Your Spirit, I know You are one step away.  Thank You for my life on today, in Jesus name, Amen.

Ladies it's time to get ready.  Ready for what you say, glad you asked.  "Spiritual Growth for Women Ministry" is holding it's 5th Annual Women's Day Event.  What day? Glad you asked, Saturday, June 4th,.  Where? Glad you asked, Ada Park District Bldg.  How much? Glad you asked, FREE.

THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, SHAME AND GUILT

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God.  I pray that you are all blessed and highly favored by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:31 (Everyday Life Bible - Joyce Meyers)

Sad to say, sometimes we discover people are also against us.  Satan does not always work alone in the spiritual realm; he also works through people in the natural realm.  He attacks our confidence through the things people say or do not say.  He can cause us to feel unworthy or rejected because of another persons words or actions.

Most of us, to some extent, need to be delivered from the fear of people and from caring too much about what others think.  People who always need the approval of others desperately want everyone to look at them from head to toe and say, "Perfect."  when they do any kind of a job, they want everybody to look at it and say, "Perfect."  In everything they do -- the way they look, the things they say, every action they take -- they want people to say, "Perfect".

We need to be confident that God accepts us with our imperfections.  Even though He continues to work in us to make us more Christlike, we do not have to struggle to win His approval or the approval of others.  If God is for us -- and He is -- we do not need to fear anyone who is against us.

Heavenly Father, I pray that today, that the women of God are released from the spirit of fear, that causes them to need the approval of man.  I pray dear Lord that you place on the inside of the women the spirit of adoption and by that knowing without any doubt that Your approval and Your love, and Your acceptance is the only thing that they should seek after.  Lord I also pray that Your release the women from the spirit of shame.  I am hearing You right now that the spirit of shame and guilt is not of You and that Your are loving them, not matter what.  Don't let them sink into the spirit of fear, shame or guilt, thank you for Your Spirit (the Holy Spirit) that you are releasing upon them on  today.  In Jesus Christ name, Amen.

FOR PRAYER CALL 404-453-0588, GOD BLESS YOU

THE LIGHTHOUSE

I pray that you are well and that you have had a joyous holiday.  I thank God you and continue to pray for you daily.

(Psalms 119:105), Your Word is a lamp unto my feet.

(Psalms 27: 1), The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid?

(John 8:12), When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Lighthouse - A tall structure topped by a powerful light used as a signal or beacon to aid marine navigation.

Navigate - To record, plan or control the position and course of a ship or aircraft. To follow a planned course on, across, or through

.

Hold on now, I'm going somewhere with this.  I just need to set the stage.  If I were to put those two definitions together, I would say that a lighthouse is a large powerful structure used to keep ships on course.  I can also use those definitions to say, "Jesus Christ is a powerful Light that can keep us on course or guide us to follow the plan that He has for us; before we were born.

If I were to describe how my life used to be without Jesus Christ navigating me through the windstorms of my life, I would say that I was lost at sea.  I could not see His beacon of ling to put my life back on the planned course.  I couldn't see His powerful Light that eventually guided me through my drug addiction.  I couldn't see the Lord holding back the raging sea of physical abuse (that could have killed me) so that I could passed safely through the waters.

I have seen movies where a ship was lost at sea, and it was too dark for the captain to tell how far it was for them to reach land and suddenly there is a powerful beacon of light shining bright enough to navigate the captain to the dock.

Woman of God, when you are going through difficult times and your circumstances seem too dark to bare; trust the Lord to navigate, and keep watch over you.  He will guide you to the Light (Himself) safely.  Just because you don't see the Light doesn't mean that He is not there.  Maybe you need to change your course and follow the Lord's  plan.  Maybe you are at the point where the Lord is telling you to stay on course, but you can't see Him.  The Lord's message for you today is to stay on course, follow His plan for your life and you will see His powerful Light that is navigating your through the dark seas.  You see, Jesus Christ's Light is stronger than your darkness.  Amen!

Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Your Son Jesus Christ to be my Light.  My prayer today, Father is that you continue to be my guiding Light.  Everywhere my footstep travel You Lord are with me.  I thank you Lord that through the rough seas of my life, You are with me.  I know Lord that you will never leave nor forsake me through my darkest hours.  I love you Lord, I pray Lord by the power of the Holy Spirit that I walk in a Spirit of Peace right now, in Jesus Name, Amen.

GIVE GOD A TRY

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

To those of you that have been following the ministry since it began January 2012, I thank you sincerely.  And to those of you that have started in the ministry later, I truly thank God for you also and I hope that this ministry has been a blessing to you.

Read (Romans 7: 15-19)

I put so much of my own life experiences on my blog because I want you to know how God has truly been a blessing in my life.  His mercy and favor has bought me out of so many obstacles.  I want you to be able to experience the same kind of love and mercy from the Lord.  My intentions are never to make myself out to be 'all that' or like I have never sinned.  As you can tell by reading, I have sinned against God a lot.  Some out of ignorance and some out of not being able to shake the demonic spirit off at that time.

When I first started reading the bible, I used to think that God was so cruel.  I thought that I had already ruined my chances of ever getting to heaven.  I blew at least 7 of the 10 commandments by the time I was 30 years old.  I thought I was truly going straight to hell.  Once I joined a bible based church, and began to study the Word for myself, I was able to also understand how gracious and merciful God is.  All I had to do was ask for forgiveness, repent and keep going back to church.  I was in church every chance I got and slowly but surely, God delivered me from a lot of demonic spirits (more than 1) that had a hold of me.

I also reveal to you a lot of my past because I want you to realize and understand that God is no respecter of persons, what He has done for me, He can also do for you (all He needs is your YES). I allow God to use me to be a blessing to anyone that I can.  I am only a vessel that have chosen to allow God to use my testimonies to bring the women of God out of certain situations or circumstances.  If I can a least plant a seed then I have done something.  I owe my life to God and therefore, I try wholeheartedly to give Him my life and walk the path that He put before me.

I try to be obedient, but sometimes I still miss the mark.  As I said before, I am not perfect and I never will be as long as I am on this earth.  It does not matter to God that you have a shady past, all that matters to God is that you are willing to try to have a righteous present and future.  Just try, that's all God ask of you.  Just try.  LET US PRAY!

Heavenly Father, I praise and worship you on today.  Lord, I pray that show yourself strong in my life.  I pray for a clear understanding about your love for me and just how merciful you truly are.  Lord, I pray that as I stay in prayer and continue to give you my praise that I can get closer to you.  Any spiritual gift that you have for me will rain down on me for your glory, in Jesus name, Amen.
