DEAR ABBA

  DEAR ABBA,     I'm reflecting on my seven-year experiences.  In the past, I would go from the "wilderness" to the "promised land" with little to no analysis of my experiences. The proper way is to ask what is the lesson in the "wilderness." Thank you, Dr. Apostle Elaine Johnson for teaching me this over a decade ago, and Happy Int'l Women's History Month.      Abba Yah will take us into transition and we do not know why or for how long. Which brings on frustration and confusion. Unlike in the past, I asked. Whew! What a process and journey it was for me. Only believe was a term I learned and used often as my belief system became firm.       The Lord showed me the way to receive and activate greater depths of deliverance for my life. Some people who knew me through the years should realize I am not who I was because of growth.  The "wilderness" is the only way  to one's "promised land." I will save the many details of m

DEAR ABBA, I cannot help feeling like so much has happened in a short amount of time this year of 5784. I am not overwhelmed, however, I am aware of times and seasons meeting like a crash of ocean waves against our shores.  There was a dream I remember from years ago with crashing ocean waves. I was standing between the shore and the ocean. Suddenly, waves overcame me and I was covered by the water. Immediately I was awakened from the dream. The dream scared me. I did not know if I drowned or made it out alive. Ruach Ha'kodesh explained, "Whether or not you make it is up to you." Obviously, I am still here! APTTMHYAH!!! (all praises to the most high Yahshuah)  Adonai has ensured my victory at each turn of events on my journey. I am sure the same can be said of you! Recently, I heard the word JUMP.  When I shared the word with my Sister in the Lord, she responded with Psalm 18:29 . F or by thee, I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped (jumped) over a wall.

DEAR ABBA,   "The Pain will not fit my body." Through several instances of illness and abnormalities Yah would prove Himself faithful. My story is not new. Multitudes in the Holy Bible would experience healing miracles & breakthrough. Many individuals in our churches and families would be healed! Stay tuned for more...greater works are happening! During Yahshua's travels among Image-bearers, His soul would fill with compassion. His response to those pulling on Him would be, "I am willing." Their weary bodies would readily await demonstration from the Messiah's touch. Healing has come. The time for healing is always Now. Be it instantaneous, over time, or in heaven; healing is presently available. I often recite the scripture that reads, ..."By His stripes, we were healed." That promise assures us of healing. The Psalmist would write, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers them out of them all." That is one of

DEAR ABBA , Many of us did not grow up with our fathers. Unfortunately, we would suffer from internal deficiencies and blow through life as tumbleweed breathlessly navigating the rough and dry terrain of rejection and abandonment. Abba you are trustworthy as you cannot lie, it would be a father wound feeding skepticism and insecurity, preventing me from free-falling into your capable arms. Thank you, Yah, for being who you are to us:  “Father, Source, Sustainer, Preserver, and Fatherhood.” ( Selman). It would your faithful ways and long-suffering manner enabling me to muster courage to trust you. How about you Friend? Is a father wound your challenge? Do you struggle with trusting Abba? If this is you, let me assure you. You will learn as I did it is okay to lay down your hesitancy. There is healing for your wounds. Emotionally you can become strong and stable. Finally, you can rest in the truth that your life is in Abba’s capable hands. He never fails. We fail at tim

DEAR ABBA,             My intention is to speak the truth in love with myself.   Self-talk is me confessing the word of Yahuah. It is also making declarations. I love to recite prophecies and promises. All of these ignite my faith. They encourage me. I then pray for the grace to receive, be, and do internally about my self-talk/self-love. If I do not take care of myself, I do not have an overflow to minister to others adequately. Living my best life includes pouring into others.             I realize there are ways I can stop the overflow of abundant living: Defeating words, unbelief, allowing contrary thoughts to linger in my mind, feeding on unfruitful resources, rehearsing my difficulties. These behaviors lead to my frustration. The Holy Bible at  Galatians 6:9  reads, And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up. The things I describe above grow, develop, and sprout, and then I become weary or tir

DEAR ABBA, The New day begins Many believers tend to muddle over the term process. Several synonyms come to mind, procedures, methods, course, development, and progression. It is intense. Daily I wonder about the next move in my life. The process is unfolding. When a believer cannot understand how experiences link together, he/she is in a process. Abba has a plan for each of us. The details belong to Him. For some, doors will close, and for others, they will open. There is a new chapter or a new book regarding our lives. Through it all, the Father is trustworthy. We must keep going. We remain in preparation to receive the manifestation. Yes? As we fight back impatience, I hope we can take time each day to listen for instructions. The promises the Father would make seem closer than ever. The Way forward Numbers 13:25-33  Moses and the people of God would face the choice to move forward or remain stuck. Their process would bring them to a time and season of elevatio
