Is there anything you can think of that you can't do by FAITH?

........Well?

Begin reading Hebrews 11....
Now tell me what you can do by FAITH? By faith I can....
Speak into your life. Encourage yourself in your journey and walk with the Lord.

Heb. 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please the Lord...

You must begin to look at your life not through natural sight but through eyes of faith because your natural eyes will always bring doubt, fear, worry, discouragement to you. Faith is like a pair of glasses you put on to bring clarity and sharpens your view. What you thought you saw or counted wasn't really what was going on. When you placed your glasses of faith over your natural eyes you will see the situation totally differently. You will begin to see things moving in your life and begin speaking into your life based on the view of faith.

Sometimes we can become side track by things in our lives that will cause us to lose our faith glasses. There are other times we allow someone else's view of our life to taint our view of the situation but God requires you to see things by FAITH! Then we begin to try to hurry the process because our view is clouded by flesh.

The Lord knows the desires of our hearts but he also knows that the things of the world will never satisfy us. The things of the world do not last forever such as jobs, cars, houses, money and clothes, those things come and go in our life. Flesh will never be satisfy or secure by the things of the world.

The enemy knows that we fear that things in our life and those things in our heart may not come to past. He will begin playing games with your mind. Then you begin to question the abilities of God, Will God? , Can God?, or It doesn't look like God hears me? Maybe if I do such and such then God can do the rest.

Let me be honest with you, God created the world without our help, Why can't he handle your situation without your help? When you step out of it, let God handle it, and watch things work for the Glory of God! That is FAITH! You must trust the Lord in all things. As women we can sometimes find ourselves feeling we can handle this and give God something else but God wants everything. ALL! Not Partial!

In order to stand on the promises of God, we must keep our eyes in the word of God, through his word our faith will build and grow!

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Spending time in your word and with God you will begin to see the beginner picture. You will grow in your faith! Knowing that there is nothing God can't do. Can God? God Can!

Are you Secure in Who God created you to be?

My encouraging word today is to know: You can be secure in Christ Jesus.

When your making tough decisions in your life, don't make them based on your opinions, strengths, and thoughts but on God's faithfulness, on the word, his promises, and his strengths.

Isa 55:10-11 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

When you are secure in God, you can speak into the atmosphere, and expect life in a dead place. God has left the same powers and abilities through the Holy Spirit for us to command the seasons, our lives, jobs, demons, and anything in the natural and spiritual. So, Speak into your life right now:

^{Pro. 20}A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
²¹Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

 When you are secure in who God created you to be and you are sure of your purpose in his Kingdom. Then you can make decisions not on your own limited abilities but on God's unlimited power he has released to you through the Holy Spirit.

^{John 14:26}But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 

Romans 8:27
And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. (NIV)

When You are secure in who God created you to be...then you know God is always with you in time of hardship, trouble, disappointment, stress, depression, loneliness, and we can go on and on. You must know he is always with you. 

“The LORD is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him” 

(2 Chr. 15:2)

“I am with you always” (Matt. 28:20).

When you are secure in who God created you to be, then you will not be double minded, for you will stand on the word of God. You are not be easily moved or go against the word of God.

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:8

James 4:8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

When you are secure in who God created you to be, then you will know you were made in his image and likeliness, that everything God made is good.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Gen. 1:27

For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 1 Tim. 4:4

Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

As a woman of God, God created you to shine brightly...

1 Corinthians 11:7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

You are the reflection of beauty in many forms, strength, value, and honor. Don't doubt your importance and role in the Kingdom of God because your role is precious to God. 

There are great women of God rising up all around you each aand everyday making a difference in the Kingdom. No role is too small or position too high for God to use you in a magnificent way. Just stay secure in God. Keep him as the ruler and author of your life. Remember, your not the problem but a problem-solver. You are a daughter of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! You are true Royalty!

Be Blessed

When you've given your all...

Throughout your life, you have been in many situations where you have done all you can in that situation. Now you wonder, What's next?

What else can I do? What more can I give? What else does everyone expect me to give?

You begin to stress yourself out and  worry about finding a way to do more but the reality is the rest is God's doing. It is only so much you can do in a situation that God has placed you in. We find ourselves worrying and depressing overselves over the circumstance when it was God who approved the situation.

When you've you given your all... let God do the rest! Give up control, stop planning, take your hands out of it. No longer carry the burden because it was never yours to carry!

When you've given your all..just begin to pray! Lord, give me the strength to endure the road ahead. God give me wisdom and knowledge to prepare to be an example of your glory and righteousness. Lord, I pray for a listening ear, faith to step out, and confidence to step alone. I rebuke fear, worry, stress, depression, anxiety, negativity, and anything not like you. In Jesus Name Amen.

Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. Philippians 4: 6

When you've given your all.. sometimes God is looking for more. Our all does not measure to the expectation God has for us in our lives. Sometimes you feel you gave your all but really..you kept this small little thing to yourself cause that is your thing. God says, I want the time you spend watching television, the time you spend in the car, and the early mornings you spend sleeping in. Why don't you take those times to pray to me, to serve in my kingdom, and to praise & worship me? Look in your life and see..Where could I give more?


When you've given your all...begin to praise him! Thank him right now for taking control of your life. Thank him for being a forgiving God, mighty God, worth God, all-knowing God, omni-present, and worship him because his regin is forever! Delight yourself in the Lord for he is worthy of all praises!

Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!
Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!

—Psalm 105:1-2

 

When you've given your all... Don't give up on God!

Remember, He is Able!

Insecurities...Overcome them! Pt. 1

          

Insecurity- 1. lack of confidence or assurance; self-doubt:  - dictionary.com

  Insecurities seem to cloud a woman's mind, over take her thoughts of herself, her abilities, and attributes.  Every woman goes through it, a feeling of inadequateness, comparing one's self to another woman either friend or on television. Listening to other women at the gym, mall, or reading a magazine on what is the proper silhouette for each size of a woman. It is hard as a human being not meeting expectation especially of a society that is constantly promoting a false image of an ideal woman. No one ever really tells you about Photoshop editing that is done in photos or how the woman in the photo has her own insecurities she is dealing with in her own life. She feels just as insecure but it is possibly in a different area than those envying her.

 Another way insecurities are planted within us is from our own friends! Yes, our friends can plant insecure feelings within us! We listen to them talk about their insecure issues, I know this us true, I have sometimes have done the same thing. Usually joking about myself but how does my friend know I am serious or not since we are just talking?   Are they looking at themselves and seeing the same flaws that "we" say are flaws.

Growing up in my house, I was blessed to have a mother that was always encouraging everything about me. Anything I thought was a flaw or a problem area, she was working to help me overcome those thoughts within myself and see the beauty of God's creation.
As parents, you must remember that your children can possibly carry your insecurities, listening to you everyday speaking negative words about yourself. A child will start to look at themselves in the mirror and worry about themselves. Then you begin to wonder, why does my child think so negative of themselves? How did this start? Sadly, it started with you!

That brings me to the point that your insecurities could have came from family drama and parents' insecurities.  Some parents have placed their own emotions, desires, and struggles on their children. You could have adapted their problems but you have the power to overcome those issues by seeing the best of God's creation; by not comparing ourselves to the world's standards and unrealistic expectation. 

Romans 12:2 ESV

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

 

Your challenge is to wake up each day and tell yourself.. 

"I am beautiful. I am wonderfully made. It starts with my smile, it is a sign of his grace; his love is displayed in my eyes, the color determined by faith. My hair is his glory, his light shines from my face.  My figure is perfecting, perfection is made through Christ. I am more than a conquer, insecurities will leave my life!"- Prophetess Tashaye

If you want to add more, please do, post it throughout your house, on your computer, in your purse, remember ... you’re beautiful!

Jude 1:2  ESV      

May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

 Let us as women today take the time to find value in ourselves by noticing our characteristics and substance! Rather it is our laughter, our smile, kindness, giving, mercy, grace, polished style...

What attributes contribute to your true beauty?

 How often are you discouraging yourself?

 How can we be encourager of God and discourage his creation?

 -Prophetess Tashaye of God's Character Woman Ministry

It's in her Stride...

Stride:  v. 1. Walk with long, decisive steps in a specified direction

                     - decisive: (of a person) Having or showing the ability to make decisions quickly and effectively

2. v. Cross (an obstacle) with one long step

3. n. A step or stage in progress toward an aim 

As women of God we must stride towards our purpose in Christ Jesus.  We must be able to stride past obstacles, construction, and avoid pits in our walk with God. Our stride must be long steady steps towards his destination for our lives. We should walk with confidence as each step presses firmly on the ground. Our rock is the Lord Jesus Christ, so we should rest assured that each step is ordered by God by continuing in prayer throughout our day. God is constantly elevating us and we are learning him the more as we stride. 

Each step we make is a step of progress from our past relationships, friendships, and mistakes.  Yes, you will endure in your stride. We go through storms, rains, over hills, and we must keep the pace. We must remember that we have past that part of our lives and never walk backwards or continue in a cycle. A stride is a step forward! When we are stepping forward we must look forward. We should never look back  because we then miss out on what God is trying to show us.  Every obstacle is a testimony to glorify God. Every situation is temporary!

When you stride you have the ability to step over things that were setup to trip you. For example, a pot hole in the ground, you see it in advance, you are prepared to step over it in your stride. In your stride you must be able to make quick decisions and be able to adjust to change. Remember to always pray a covering over yourself and those you are dealing with each day. You never know how the enemy is working against you so you want to be prepared.


Stride with Confidence because you know God is in control. 

Psalm 18:2
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. 

Keep the PACE!
Ecclesiastes 9:11
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.


Never give up!
2 Chronicles 20:17
Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

Real Love...How do you know?

So How do you know?..... if it is well Real?!?!?!

It's  funny how you go to a restaurant and I, myself, love Coca Cola, and it puzzles me when asked by a waiter or waitress, What do you like to drink? I would say," well Coke" and they would say, " Pepsi?" or " RC?" as if there the same but it is not the REAL thing. It doesn't taste the same and the exterior isn't the same. It is more like the generic form of Coke. I do not take any substitutes or look-alike to the real thing.


One thing I have learned in my relationship with God is REAL love. Last, Sunday at church, God's loves overflowed the atmosphere and I felt his anointing shower love on me. This love can not be written about in movies, it is not scripted, or man made. His love sometimes feels unexplainable to those that have no relationship with him but yet we try day to day to help others understand this love is real.

His love is pure. It is without blemish. Just as our Worship to him should be. His love is without judgement but does come with rebuke, consequences, and order. Yes, God does let you know your going against his word and truth but he does it with grace and mercy.

Yes, his love does not lie. Unbelievable isn't it? With lies being spoken to you everyday and played out for you on television. You can trust him at his word. He left his word so we would have a resource to carry us along our journey with him and to try to bring an understanding of his love. His word is an example of his love.

His love is unconditional. He shares his love with you even when your undeserving. When you deny him or when you do not recognize who he is in your life and ignore his call out to you. He loves you! He showed us his love in giving his life then rose on the third day and he had not met you yet! But he did it. He did it for you and me, sisters, brothers, cousins, aunts, mom and dad.

His love is forgiving. He forgives but we lag in our forgiveness. We even come up with reasons why our UN-forgiveness is justified as if we can change but others can't. He laughs and we call ourselves one of his own. Yet, we can't let go of the past to SOAR in our future. Then we wonder why our blessings are held up because we blocked up with UN-forgiveness.

His love is action. We can see it. With every sun rise and every sunset, his love is visible to us so how can we question it? But we do. Was his death not enough? Was his pain not enough? He wakes you up every morning. That is his love in your face reflected through the mirrors. His love.

Real love is tangible. Real love is brings joy with every new day with HIM. Real love is roughing it through the storm together. Real love is not associated with abuse physical or mental. It is not forced but is given willingly.  That is why I willingly surrender to Praising him and Worshiping him in spite of everything else in the world. Real love requires communication. Real love starts in friendships.

Real love accepts you. Real love expects great works from you and works you; not against you. Real love has memories you can smile about the next day and years later. It is comforting. It isn't perfect but worked to perfection by the word of God.

Real love requires work. It is built on a solid foundation and let me tell you...God is the only ROCK I know! So, build on him, not on you, they, or them because when you build on him, you & him with God, will stand. When your sick, real love takes the time to get you back to health.

Real love taught by God can be exhibited in your smile, eyes, walk, talk and lifestyle. Real love doesn't separate you from family or friends buts draws you together through thick and thin but it can not dwell with sin.

Real love brings abundance, elevation, promotion, peace, joy, strength, endurance, health, faith, trust, and overflow.

Wait for God to teach you and show you his real love. His Fresh Holy Anointed LOVE.
You would never settle for any substitutes once you have surrendered to his Real love.


Be Blessed

I am a work in progress....

Yes, it is true,

I am a work in progress. I have not arrived to some ultimate level of superiority, that I do not make mistakes or have any faults.

 I am a work in progress. I am not there. Is anyone there? I mean there. It takes time and Christ to learn how to get past your flesh and people. The enemy is always looking for ways to attack you or if not you, someone near you is used to get to you but we must learn how to "step" over those emotional fleshly temptations.

I am a work in progress. I make mistakes.  I am being perfected right in front of your eyes through Christ as well as you are in front of me. You are watching me and I am watching you. Everyone is watching each other, concerned with them noticing there mistakes or slip-ups.

I am a work in progress. I am surrendering my will to the Father. He is molding me to his creation for his glory. His artistry is priceless and effortless but necessary in my growth. I was once bound to society, family, friends, and people but through him, I have found freedom to soar as an eagle. He is my only judge but I am to follow him and lead others to him.

I am a work in progress. I am making changes to my life everyday. I have changed my attire, my matter, my talk, my walk, and my friends. I have changed how I spend my time and whom I am spending my time with as well. I am changing the purpose behind my conversations; do God get the Glory or this just MY story?

I am a work in progress. I am no longer the tail. My eyes have been opened and no longer am I blinded by the glamour of the world. “Charmers” no longer fool me and I am now an encourager to myself. I am confident in him and I am bigger than they because of HIM.

I am a work in progress. I have access to greatness. I am royalty in his Kingdom and rich beyond your wildest dreams. A roaring lion does not scare me anymore, nor does a lying tongue because I am more than a conquer through Christ Jesus, I have my word with me, and his words carry all power.

I am a work in progress. I am no longer stubborn. For every argument I walk away from, God rises up in me, for every fight I turn away from, God rises up in me, For every apology I give and never ask why, God rises up in me, Every time I hold my tongue, God rises up in me.


I am His work in progress and His work In Progress I shall BE!

I am accountable to God. God uses me. I am a vessel for God and he is steadily working on me daily. Be patience for his works are breath taking and priceless.

Grow Up, Woman of God!

There is a point in every woman's life when she has to GROW UP! She has to make her own DECISIONS and choices. A point where she PLANS her life and  presents it to God. She LISTENS to God as she develops their goals. Yes, their goals!

 

There is point when she PRAYS to God for her relationships and friendships. She can not hide behind family or blend in with little sister/bro or BIG sister/bro.

Through prayer she develops her own identity, style, and personality. She is HONEST about her dislikes and likes and walks in INTEGRITY. She acknowledges faults and weaknesses while striving for perfection. She faces the fears and challenges of day to day life. Yes, the responsibility is great but so are the blessings.

At this point she gives God control of her life fully and accepts her destined purpose. She is more SUPPORTIVE and less argumentative. She is more understanding and more knowledgeable.  How profound is his glory, which hangs from her head and BLESSED are her hands, which she uses to bake bread. 

She realizes who she is and who she belongs too, God. She is no longer trying reach unrealistic expectations because God says, For I know the plans I have for you. When she thinks about her past, she knows how far she has grown from it, accepts her mistakes and failures, and she is able to FORGIVE and let go.

She is a woman of the now not the yesterday. She knows, hears, and sees everything that is going on around her. Sometimes, she can be strong willed and other times she is shy but she has learned to stand regardless.

She knows she can be hurt, she is human, not wonder woman or a super hero but she knows who to call to mend her broken heart.

At this point, she knows where her TRUST lays, who to tell her secrets to, and who she can depend on. God. Her loyalty lays in his FAITHFULNESS to her. Her life depends on his COMMITMENT to her.  

No more toying with her life and playing games. No more time wasted on relationships that do not give God praise.

A woman of excellence she will be, in her stride, her talk, her language and lifestyle. It is understood she is a goal worth pursuing and he calls her by name every morning. She recognizes his voice and answers with PRAISE! He is God.

She finds JOY in the simple things he created, from the sun & moon, to the sea & sky.

Now she knows, that this is the TIME, the point, the SEC, and minute, she must GROW UP! She must GROW UP!

Grow Up, Woman of God!

Silent Killer: Emotional Abuse

What is Emotional Abuse?

- any behavior that is designed to control and subjugate another human being through the use of fear, humiliation, intimidation, guilt, and manipulation that wears away at the victim's self-confidence, sense of self-worth, trust in their own perceptions, and self-concept.
- anything from verbal abuse and constant criticism to more subtle tactics, such as repeated disapproval or even the refusal to ever be pleased.
 With constant berating and belittling, by intimidation, or under the guise of "guidance," "teaching", or "advice," that results in the person clinging to the abuser because they do not want to be alone.

For more information: http://eqi.org/eabuse1.htm#What%20is%20Emotional%20Abuse?

Many women today are dealing with emotional abuse. Surprised? I am too. Just think you can go to work or school everyday. You would enjoy lunch with a co-worker or school mate, maybe even do some small talk here and there. Then one day you find out this strong, independent, outgoing, and caring woman is being abused by her mate. Well, you may be going through this right now and not even know it. 

A girl in one of my classes got up and spoke about her abuse. She gave her testimony of being in this abusive relationship. It just shocked me. I had been sitting by her every class and I didn't know. Now she is not in this relationship now but she was giving her speech in class. Though I did not know her before, I was so proud of her for USING HER VOICE! No longer was she keeping silent about her experience. She spoke. He could not stop her from speaking up anymore. She smiled. The smile he tried to take away from her. She got it back. She laughs and tells jokes. He did not have her joy. His abuse was no longer taking her life. She has reclaimed her voice. Because of her voice another girl in my class heard. She spoke about her current abuse. She gave her the courage to speak up. Many people deny and pretend but it is time to stop and stand.

 Now I know many of us would say this would never happen to me but it could be happening to you right now!  Let me encourage you to speak up about your situation. We care about you. You care about yourself, right?  Then you should not stand for your abuse anymore. Arrive..You are BOLD, BEAUTIFUL, TRUE, and NATURALLY YOU! You are BIGGER than you appear. You are STRONGER than you seem. For example you have been dealing with a abuse for so long and your still kicking!

The task ahead of you, is never as great as the power behind you.

Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.

- Ephesians 6:10 

If there is anyone dealing with emotional abuse. Speak. Use your voice. Your God given Voice! I am here and I am sure there are many people around you who do care.

I know it will be difficult but you need your freedom back! You will no longer be imprisoned by someone else.

Use your voice. Speak UP!
