TO DENY OUR PURPOSE IS TO DENY GOD 

To deny our purpose is to deny God. We were born destined for a purpose. Events and people shape us, mold us and bring us toward the destiny that God has called over us before we were in our mother’s womb.

So how can we fight and go against this destiny. The destiny is in our spirit that must transcend to our flesh to be fully manifested. The battle is between worlds, the Flesh and the Spirit. Each one wants to be superior. God’s ultimate desire for us is that our flesh submits to the God within us the Spirit.

As we seek God and move toward our Father, the kingdom begins to be revealed to us. We begin to see the glimpse of the kingdom. Dreams and visions of what we are destined to be and have, are ours to see. Continually being shaped, purged and pruned along the way. We can be pruned by the world or Abba Father the God that loves us. This process can be painful to the flesh but is always necessary. It is part of our journey, the process, that if called, our life. Than thirdly we enter the kingdom that is our inheritance, we are walking in our calling and then we begin to possess the kingdom and we begin to bear fruit and we see the harvest of our obedience, and our work for the Lord. Lastly we are fully manifested in our gifts, our calling and we have come to the full inheritance that God has allotted for us. This is through our life’s works, and there are many fruits of our labors.

So why would we want to deny God? The life of God’s chosen is hard at times, but it is fulfilling. Your call will come to you and try to find you. When you discover this it cannot be denied, if you try to ignore it, you will walk through life unfulfilled and feeling void that you have missed out on something.

Jeremiah 20:9 But if I say, "I will not mention him or speak any more in his name," his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.

God is ingenious that way, he knows that if he told you everything from the beginning, you might not say yes, but he wants his glory, and it is an honor for you to be chosen to serve him. To be totally sold out for God, once you know your call and accept it nothing else will satisfy you. He wants your life to be abundant and filled with the Glory of God, he knows that if you chose the call it will be the most difficult thing you will ever do. But, with it come many great things, the peace and joy of the Lord to follow you all your days, the favor and grace of God to walk out your destiny, the journey that will not be boring, and the fruit of bringing God’s light to others. How can we say no, many do? Christ died for us; he suffered, died and conquered the grave for all of us. How can you say no? But, I say YES!

Lord I say yes to you and the call that you have on my life. I chose you freely, knowing it may be difficult, but you will never leave nor forsake me. I trust you Lord, with my life. Holy Spirit fill me this day, give me your strength, knowledge, wisdom to walk this out, to discern what is right and wrong and receive the love and compassion for others in knowing the difference. For in saying yes, my life has purpose. I chose the destiny that God has placed with me. What is your decision?

Be blessed today in all ways.

Stay the Course

For God has turned all my regrets, the past mistakes, the past attacks all to good, they are the treasure of compassion that is now within me, as Christ dwells in me. For the enemy tried to destroy me, sift me like wheat, but the Holy Spirit knew his plans, he stood with me through all of it, so I would not perish.  The enemy thought he was winning, that he was breaking me, but he did not realize that he only made me stronger, wiser and closer to God.

Stay the course it will be rewarding beyond your wildest expectations.  Don’t give up on God’s promises.  He loves you and only desires the best for you in all things.  Sometimes we feel our prayers, petitions, hearts desired requests are not being heard.  Those desires that feel so deep within you know that they were put there by God to instill hope, faith and strength.  Your testimony will be so much brighter that you stayed the course.

When it does not feel like you are ever going to walk in your promises of God stand and do not let the world and the enemy tell you lies.  They want you to give up and in.  And when you are on the brink of victory the enemy will throw everything and the kitchen sink at you to discourage and push you to give up and feel defeat.  Even when the promises are manifesting you will hear the discouragement of past mistakes, regrets, rejections, and pain saying things to have you doubt that God is loving and blessing you.

God desires victory and His glory; and that lies within you; for you are the 'Hope of Glory'.  Due to our humanness we need to go through things.  God desires all of His own to have patience.  It is one of those freebies that come with God.  You do not have to ask for it.  But the reward is perseverance, stamina, trust and hope in God that you may bring to others.  Your testimony brings His light and life to others.  You can say God is good all the time but the world needs tangible evidence because they do not have the faith and strength that He has placed in you.  These testimonies come in “all shapes and sizes”; all are important, and necessary for the kingdom to be manifested in the earth.  People need to hear your testimonies do not second guess sharing God’s love through your words and examples. 

His glory shall reign in all the earth.  As surely as I live says the Lord, every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior.

Stay the course of victory and righteousness always diligently seeking Him and His will for your life and in accordance to your measure of faith all things good in God will be added on to you.

Pen of the Ready Writer

As I sit here I seek and ponder what the Lord would have me write about today.  It is not about me but only my willingness to allow myself to hear and transcribe His voice through “my pen”.  The pen of the ready writer takes in many things and formats.  God is the creator of creators.  His creation is never ceasing to be amazing in the beautiful canvasses of our lives and the things that we create through the many talents and giftings He most graciously has bestowed upon His children. 

I just feel the need to express to you to continue to use and develop the precious creativity that He has placed within.  In His presence and our quiet time with Him He speaks to us.  Sometimes we hear, see, feel, or just have an overwhelming inspiration to draw, paint, write, or are filled with magnificent inventions to carry out and produce.  God desires to be heard, but He also desires His people to prosper and walk in abundance of provision as well as life, health and relationships.  This is His way of growing and further developing the Kingdom in the earthly realm.  

Many times people read the parable about the young rich man and it is said it is harder for the rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven than a camel to enter the eye of a needle to mean God’s people should all be poor martyrs for Christ.  It does not mean that we His children are to be poor.  But what it signifies is that if we are wealthy in the natural financially and in our talents to produce wealth without the need for a relationship with Him it will be harder for us to come to a point to enter into the rest and relationship of His Kingdom for our everyday life if it has not already been established.  Those lost and in the world often judge believers who prosper as being hypocrites.  Believers need to be good stewards of what He entrusts us with by being spirit led in our giving.  For God gives seed to the sower to further the kingdom and His glory.  Some may find that salvation may also be hard to come to revelation and decision due to a cloud of self sufficiency and earthly possessions.  It is not impossible but usually takes a great move of God for someone who is not struggling financially to see they are lost and need a savior. 

This parable of the young rich man refers to the life of a believer or non believer and how it relates to coming into and walking a spirit led life or one that is deceivingly self-sufficient and lacks Kingdom Life and solid personal relationship with the Lord.  In accordance to your faith which takes in your maturity level is also a key factor in God’s choice to bless you financially because it is His desire for you not to perish by the financial fruits of your talents.  He will never put on you what will ultimately destroy you.   

As we have been drawn into relationship, and have been matured to handle scripturally the gifts and talents and the provisions that come with them God will continue to bless whatever we put our minds and hands to.  May you continue to be blessed and be a blessing for His Glory.

Be ready in all things and all ways,

In His Service, Pamela

Box of Agreement

 (Joshua 4 & 5)

   What agreements or covenants has the Lord made with you?  God will always honor the covenant He makes with His people whether individually or as a group.

   The Lord will sustain you and feed you in the desert.  As promised He will bring you through and out.  But often as with Joshua we will face a wall of obstruction a final test of our faith and trust in God by the enemy or God himself.  Are you willing to stand on the promises of God; Stand when the world says no, when people say you are crazy?  Know the wall/mountain that the Lord will bring down on your behalf will come out of your covenant and obedience to follow His orders and instructions.  That what the Lord has bound in Heaven will no longer have power or authority in your life again.  A faith of a mustard seed will move a mountain, how much more will He do on your behalf if you walk in radical faith; the faith that is out-of-the-box, when you will listen and not be swayed by any man, circumstance, and or doctrine.  God has graced this special remnant with faith that is like no other because He desires to move and shake the world as He has never done before.

    God is not necessarily being literal of a circumcision event physically but spiritually He desires you to circumcise your will and desire to do things in your way and timing.  As with a physical circumcision it can be painful but it is necessary to walk in the things of God and His promises.  The abundance and promises of God for great things and moves of God come out of an individuals or group of people’s faith, agreement, and surrendering of self will, mind, and emotions.  We have to allow the agreement and will of God to be manifested by our willingness to die to our flesh so the World can witness these events and be drawn unto Him.

Accepting His Grace & Mercy

Accepting the Grace and mercy to turn mistakes, failures into life lessons to grow and become better for abundant life for you and others takes willingness, practice, obedience and the Spirit of God.  If we make a mistake or find ourselves in relationships that do not work, business ventures that do not pan out.  Don’t beat yourself up receive God’s forgiveness and mercy, and forgive yourself for the failure, mistake, etc.  Life is full of learning processes.  As long as you are always willing to accept your defeats as temporary setbacks, or your mistakes as ways to learn, repent and mature than you are on the right track. 

So often we get stuck in our past, continually living out and through our past negative events that we do not really live.  We do not allow God to be God in our lives and receive the mercy He desires to bestow us and receive the grace, mercy and Spirit lead guidance to move on and up in life.  We are not perfect.  We are human beings and we will not always get things perfect.  This also goes when others let us down and we stay stuck and we allow the fact that we allowed someone through our own needs and desires to dupe us, use us , take advantage of us, or just keep us from excelling.  Forgive them, forgive yourself and ask the Spirit to bring healing by identifying the shortcoming and ask the Spirit how you can achieve a successful going forward and up out of this negative experience.  He will show you and guide you; you just have to ask.

The power to always becoming better than the day before is not a cliché.  It is true.  Daily time of prayer and reflection allows God to speak to you and help you be all that He desires for you.  This takes willingness, obedience, and commitment to a Spirit led life.  It may take an assertive effort and working and maneuvering of your schedule until you find the right time to allocate daily.  Early morning is great but it is not for everyone.  It may be different on different times of the week or split throughout the day.  If it is a dreaded time for you than you will be merely showing up and not really being present with God and you will not be able to give and receive the proper and anointed exchange that God really wants from and for you.  There is a reason that the bible says work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.  Your walk with the Lord and yourself is PERSONAL.  That is why it is referred to as a ‘Personal Relationship With the Lord’.  The Lord loves you and desires an intimate and just you and Him relationship that is unique and fresh.  Your desire to be with Him makes it sweet as perfume to Him.  The abundant life that is full, blessed, and anointed comes with your personal relationship with the Lord and your willingness to take all your cares, burdens, shortcomings, as well as your victories to the Lord.  He will never leave you nor forsake you and His only desire is to love you and have your life be one of righteousness and victory with and in Him.  

 Be blessed this day in all ways,

What Season Are You In?

Recognizing the season that you are in with God is beneficial to your growth as well as your sanity.  When you know you are in a dry season you know that it is only temporary and you can ask God to expedite this season by being obedient to what the Spirit is trying to teach you or do in you or remove from you.  The Moses experience does not have to happen to you.  We do need to go through these periods from time to time; but your attitude and how you embrace this time will determine how long it lasts.   If the people Moses was leading had been accepting and open to what God wanted for them and their minds and hearts were open to the new transformation he was trying to do in them they could have entered the Promise Land.  But because he did not want to taint the Promised Land with slavery and abused, unappreciated mindsets by a complaining people they had to wander in the desert and were not allowed to enter in.  Only their descendants who embraced all the possibilities in God and knew who they were in God could enter in.  They were hopeful, excited and prepared to enter and conquer the “territory” that they were to possess

Once God has stripped the abused and slavery mentality from your heart and mind you will be ready to be built up, equipped and ready to take your promised land.  This land can encompass many things.  And as you seek God and God is revealed to you your identity is also revealed to you.  You discover those things that are shut up in your bones.  Your purpose and destined path take light and begin to be identified. You are able to identify the things within that drive you and you do not desire to live life without them being carried out.  In the light there is life.  Without His divine light they will wither and die or be manipulated by the world.  The season of the equipping takes you seeking God with all your heart.  Standing on the words that God has placed in your heart. Because in the natural you are still like David or Joseph you have been prophesied or personally told by God that you have this great purpose for leadership but you are still the ruddy shepherd boy coming out of the back field, or in the pit of a prison like Joseph so to speak being forgotten or overlooked by society.  But know that you are who God says you are not what this world and man says you are.  Stripping the view and perception of this world from your own heart and mindset takes a work of God and a commitment from you to allow God to be God in your life.  It takes the Spirit of God to empower you, to build confidence to raise you to the leader; warrior for the Kingdom God has called and decreed you to be.  See you are already who God says you are.  He has finished the work in you but it takes your love of God and your cooperation to unveil the true you.  It takes the desert experiences, the trial periods, the educational periods, and the maturing of your mind, will, and emotions to come to the point that you are equipped but also your character is that of a righteous man or women of God that will be able to stand for God, take the arrows and the blows, and not be swayed by man, doctrines, temptations or circumstances. 

Another type of season in God is to know when you are in a giving, or receiving season in God.  We are to always have a heart that is willing to give.  We are to give it all to God and allow the Spirit of God to determine how we are to distribute are time, talents and finances.  But also know that there are times that God desires to give; enjoy and receive all your blessings from the Lord.  Receiving is often a time not only that He desires a blessing for you, but it may be He is also doing a work in someone else that has issues with giving, finances etc.  It is very humbling to receive and God desires us to have a humble and contrite heart.  Pride cannot be present when we are humble and show ourselves to be approved.

It is a privilege to accept the life of a Christian, but it is a greater honor to accept and answer the call by allowing God to work through your life for the sake of His Glory and the salvation and relationship of others.

Do you desire your promised land?  Do you desire to take power and dominion over your life and all God has and will entrust to you by and with the power and authority of Christ in you?  Once God is allowed to be God in you and you’re a committed to receiving the life He has chosen for you things will begin to happen at a more accelerated pace.  With God there will always be seasons or cycles and some are more comfortable than others. Embrace every one of them; He has given you the Grace (power and fortitude) to stay the course.  Ask for His eyes to see all things and especially yourself through His eyes.  Because He sees you not only as a child He loves dearly, but as a righteous, victorious, warrior, with all the power and authority of Christ Jesus.  We are coheirs with Christ we are divine royalty and Gods desire for our lives are beyond our imagination and comprehension.  We may never know the fullness of his love, desire and plans for our lives but we can ask God to show us.  If we can believe and see a glimpse of the heaven He has placed in us, we will always be the more than conquerors; He has decreed and scriptures says that we are more than Conquerors in Christ Jesus.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!  ENJOY FREEDOM

WITH PEACE, LOVE, & JOY!

As we come upon the 4th the Independence Day of our nation it’s time to ponder all the freedoms we have and the liberties that we have because not only are we U.S. Citizens, but we are also children of the most High.  Jesus took on the entire world of sin, sickness, poverty and disease so that we may have eternal salvation through his death and resurrection, but also that we may have abundant life in this one.  The Kingdom of Christ that is within us out of our relationship with Him we have the honor to return that thanks in His service & walking in the freedom of PEACE, LOVE AND JOY.  Thank God for living in this great nation, but also take the time to thank and bless a veteran or active military servant today for the freedoms they continue to bring us. Have a wonderful 4^th and be blessed celebrating with family and friends.  I am thankful and blessed this Independence Day.  I choose to focus on what I have in Christ, in my friends, and my family not what isn’t……I am planning to celebrate with some friends with BBQ and fireworks.  What does this day mean to you and how are you going to celebrate?
