The Sweet Life is unfolding


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 elevation if they trusted in Yahuah Lord. Would the people believe their time of development and preparation would qualify them? Do they have faith in God for the new day? Will the richness and sweetness of the land give them confidence? What would give them pause? They were quite capable of facing opposition. They could indeed fight, but they let fear and rebellion talk them out of what would belong to them. Their ungodly thoughts and unbelief would interrupt the plan of God. They would miss their moment.

Sometimes we hesitate to pursue what rightfully belongs to us because of past disappointment. Here’s the thing, sometimes we may experience trauma while on our faith journey. Trauma creates a wound. It morphs into fear, skepticism, self-sabotage, and bitterness, all of which fuel disobedience, and rebellion. A traumatized mind cannot think or imagine better days. When feelings of doubt and angst fill our minds because of past experiences, we must take time to pray. We must ask for healing for our souls. We must take on a mental renewal. We must learn to live in the now. We must allow our faith to come alive in our now moment. The hero you are looking for is in you. There is a cause, and you are it! Do not miss another season. Raise your expectations for yourself and Abba. 

I think one of the saddest times for Abba is wanting for us the thing we are too afraid or unstable to accept. The dilemma God has is when we jump to conclusions and do not seek Him to collect ourselves. When we allow deceptive thoughts to entertain us, we will not rest in Yah’s power; neither will believe we can endure. The time we spend in our wilderness should include the pursuit of personal development and abide in Yeshua (John 15). The worse decision we can make is to misuse the time and season of preparation. Keep Yah your first love!

Abba’s thoughts toward us are good. Processing and waiting do not feel right. But let’s not allow the works of our flesh to derail us. We cannot go forward in an incomplete state. We must yield to refining, maturity, and polishing (2 Peter 1:5-9). I encourage you as I admonish myself guard your mind, stabilize your emotions, manage your thoughts (focus/refocus), maintain a pure heart, be selective when you speak, and choose life. 



Here are some declarations for your consideration.

I declare an open heart to obey the will of Abba
I declare divine reversal
I declare restoration
I declare I am faithful
I declare a refocusing of my mind
I declare my life is fruitful

Shaking and Shaping

  DEAR ABBA,       I am holding space for parents who had to bury their children, parents caring for ill or special needs children, and parents whose children (juvenile & adult) are incarcerated. There is no sadness, grief, or despair impossible for the power of Adonai to heal. We don't have the right words to console the hurting hearts of parents. However, we know that prayer and intercession can go where we cannot. Kind Father, let your love shower these parents and their living children. We know your righteousness and justice will prevail in each situation. We release rivers of healing, deliverance, and salvation. In Yahshuah's name, Amen.     Some things can happen to alter the trajectory of our lives. The Ruach Ha'kodesh said to me,   "Shaking and Shaping."   We hear the Prophets of The Most High Yah speak about exposure, and changing of the guards, the remnants arising, and the unseating of leaders either by death or judgment and more. There is a trans

JUMP

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.

The Blood changed my story

  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
