Last summer, I was getting so many prayer requests via email, texts, and phone calls. I was keeping up to the best of my ability. GOD told me, “I need you to create a sacred space so that I can commune with you.” I have a three bedroom home, and I decided to use my office (using my other room as my office) as the sacred place for GOD to speak to my spirit concerning the people of GOD that are hurting, struggling, suffering, etc… GOD is such a amazing GOD. WORDS cannot express how I feel about Him.

I want to go back a few steps before GOD told me to create my prayer room. In September of 2020, GOD told me to shut down on ALL social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr,,etc….). I told GOD I will obedient to what you’re telling me. I SHUT DOWN on all social media, and let me tell you that this is one of the BEST things that GOD could have ever told me to do. The time that I was on social media was the time (before shutting down) I could and should have given to GOD. I asked GOD to forgive me for putting social media in front of you. GOD stated that anything that you put in front of me and do, you have matured it into an idol. I asked GOD to forgive me for this, as I repented with my heart, soul, and mind.

GOD wants to commune with us, but we have so many idols that are set before him that when He does speak, we can’t hear him at all. I thank GOD for choosing me as a vessel of honor to commune with him. I can’t describe how wonderful it is to talk with my daddy on a daily basis in a manner that is so surreal. GOD desires to use you, but you have to be willing to give up some things that are idols (whatever it is you put before GOD), in order to gain special access to the threshing floor (the presence of GOD).

GOD is waiting on you to come before Him with your whole heart, body, and soul, so that He is able to use you to do His perfect work.

Good Morning!

Anyone who knows me (personally, and intimately), knows that I absolutely loves plants. I’ve been growing plants for years. My mom gives me plants to grow for her, and I give away plants to be a blessing to someone.

I have this particular plant that is called the money tree plant. It’s beautiful in it’s creation, leaves spring out as though they’re giving thanks to the Almighty GOD, who created them. I put this plant in my prayer room window, and it was growing beautifully. I forgot to water the plant , but when I did, it came back. One day, I checked on the plant to see how it was doing, and it died. I actually forgot to water it for a couple of weeks or more. The leaves were crispy brown, seeming to have no hope of growing back in sight.

I was a bit disappointed at myself for not remembering to water this beautiful plant. I started to throw it away, but then I said, ” I have FAITH that this plant will regrow and be as beautiful as it originally was. This plant looked like it had no more life in it. I started to clean it up, take off the dead leaves, spray the root, and the limbs of the plant to restart and flourish its growth. I also put the plant in a different window (even though all my plants do wonderful in all my windows through the house).

As I was sitting at the island in the kitchen, looking through the living room window, where the plant resides, I saw baby sprouts of my plant on each sides of the limbs just sprouting out! I was so excited about loving this plant back to LIFE!! As so in the NATURAL, so it is in the SPIRITUAL!

When we have FAITH of a mustard seed, we can move a nation. Whatever it is that you’re believing GOD for, keep praying, trusting, hoping, interceding, persevering, moving, and reaching until you see your NEXT is MANIFESTED!

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you (Matthew 17:20).

In the year of 2013, my mom had two college graduations to go to. My bachelor degree graduation was on a Saturday, and my sister’s graduation was on a Sunday. My mom was so proud of her daughters going back to college and graduating with honors. It was such a beautiful day for bother graduations. My graduation was full of joy and excitement. My sister graduation was absolutely amazing. I was so proud of our accomplishments.

We were preparing to go into the graduation, which was in a coliseum, beautiful in all its accommodations. In order for us to get to our seats to see the graduation, we had to walk straight down to hundred of steps to get to our seats. I’m very afraid of heights, and I wasn’t sure that I was going to be able to take this journey with my. My mom is terrified of heights, so she told me, “I’m not going down those steep steps. I had to face my fears head on. I had to be strong for myself, and for my mom. FEAR was actually overtaking me in a negative manner.

As mom and I were waiting to walk down the steep steps, I told GOD, I will face my fear of heights, and I know that you will be with me in this. After I talked with GOD, I told mom, “Do you trust me?” She said, “Yes I do.” I reach out my hand to her and told her to hold my hand, and hold it tight. I looked at my mom and told her, “I got you, mom, I got you.” my mom put her hand in mine and we took it one step at a time. Mom for a minute and seemed to freeze in place. I told her, “Mom, I got you. I’m not going to let anything happened to you.” I was also dealing with my fears also, so I felt that I was on overload in FEARFULNESS! We continued to walk down those steep steps (seemed as though you were going to fall front over) until we got to our seats (destiny). I told my mom, “I told you that I had you mom, and you did a wonderful job in facing your fear and trusting me to us to our seats.

When you’re operating in FEAR, it can freeze you where you are , and stagnate you from getting to your destiny. Seek for strength, and courage to work through your FEAR.

For GOD hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7)

Good Rising!

We were having a revival at our church services for one week. There were wonderful teachers, preachers, prophets, evangelists, and apostles (the five fold ministry) in the house.. The praise and worship was going on , and then the word of GOD came forth as a mighty wind that filled the house of GOD. There was singing, shouting, testimony going forth, and the atmosphere was filled with the anointing of GOD.

The speaker of the hour came up and became to speak the oracles of GOD. As I was attentively listening, the speaker called me up and said, “You, in the beautiful, yellow dress.” I looked as though I knew that this moment would come. The speaker stated this as I was walking down the isle, ” You’re so cold and hard, I can’t even touch you. You’re suppose to be dead in your grave, but THE FAVOR OF GOD IS UPON YOUR LIFE.” I knew at the time that the speaker was prophesying over my life that GOD has kept me when I didn’t want to be kept because of the abusive environment that I was enduring (father was very abuse to my mother and siblings, and myself), and other issues I was going through at that time. I remember being in my early twenties when this prophecy took place (before my father passed).

The favor of GOD continues to be a major part of my life today. The Lord had blessed me with positions that money can’t buy. GOD has favored me with people, places, and things that are priceless. The FAVOR OF GOD has kept me for such a time as this (Esther 4:14). I can’t express enough the feeling have to be kept by the Lover of my Soul.

And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it (Psalms 90:17).

GOD will use a form of REJECTION to get you back on the path of HIS WILL.

GOD is Always There……………

March 9, 2021

Good morning!

I was fellowshipping with one of other pastors at our outdoor services at Greater Grace Temple on Sunday that GOD IS ALWAYS THERE (Omnipresent, Omniscient, and Omnipotent). I was sharing with them that I love to write, and I was procrastinating (yes, me!) on what GOD was telling me to, which was to blog, created my podcast (which I’m doing now!) and encourage, enrich, and enlightened the people of the world with words of expressions that is needed in this era. I continued to share with them that due to my procrastination, GOD used a form of rejection that I’m dealing with now to get me to flourish in what HE needs me to do. In spite of my hurt in this process of this rejection, GOD IS AWLAYS THERE for me.

The times when I feel my lowest, GOD is there to dry my tears, and rock me to sleep. GOD will use the very thing that you love and cause it be a form of rejection to get you on the right path and direction for His will for your life. The times that I get distracted and off focus, He is right there to push me in the right direction. I find no fault in the GOD of my salvation, and I thanked GOD for the rejection, for it has caused me to rise up to the level of ministry that GOD has called me to do and be. I was sharing with my prayer partner on how GOD used the rejection that I’m enduring, and used it as MY fuel to start blogging (ministry). She stated: “Rejection is GOD’s Redirection.”

There will be times when you may get off focus or distracted with the cares of this life. Just know that GOD will use whatever is in front of His will (whatever you’re putting in front of GOD) for your life and turn it into rejection in order for you to get on the right path. When no one else is there, GOD IS ALWAYS THERE!

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).

As I child, growing up in a domestic violence home, I was well aware that GOD was apart of my life in a great way. I would always talk to GOD about the things that I didn’t understand, and trusted Him in spite of my pain that I endured being in a domestic violence atmosphere.

One evening as I was getting ready for bed, my parents always taught me to say our prayers before I close my eyes to sleep. After saying my prayer and telling my sibling (sister and brother) good night, I started talking to GOD about the things that disturbed me. As I was talking to GOD, I starting crying and letting GOD know that I know that He hears me ( I was about 4-6 years old at this time). As I closed my eyes, and continued to talk to GOD, a hand went across and down my face oh, so gently. I know that this was the hand of GOD that touched me that night. As the LORD touched my faced, I gently closed my eyes, and went to sleep, and told my parents about it the next morning.

The hand of GOD has continued to be a major part of my life. Feeling hopeless, worthless, not knowing which way to turn in a troubled time? Reach out to the Omnipresent(GOD is Everywhere at the same time) Omniscient (All-Knowing GOD), and Omnipotent (Unlimited Power of GOD). He is a touch, a prayer, a talk, a whisper , a thought away. THE HAND OF GOD is always with you and me.

Good morning!!

Each morning that GOD breathes the breathe of LIFE in my nostrils, I can’t express how grateful and thankful I am to HIM each and every day for Life, Health, and Strength!

As I’m sitting in my car, waiting for outdoor church services at Greater Grace Temple in Detroit, MI. to start, I’m grateful because this is the day that the LORD has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it (Psalms 118:24)!

There’s a song that is called “A Perfect Love Song” by Anita Wilson that I sing to the LORD on a daily basis. My prayer partner send this to me via text and said: “This song reminds me of you singing to your daddy (GOD). When I first heard this song, the anointing of the LORD came upon me, and I just cried (rejoicing) because this is exactly how I feel about my daddy.

May the Ancient of Days cover you with His grace and Majesty!

Happy Beautiful Sunday!

Good morning!

When I was in my unhealthy relationship (1992-1997), I lived so afraid and fearful , I thought that my life would be taken at any time, due to the abuse that I endured on a daily basis. So many wondered, “why don’t she just leave?” One of the reasons that I didn’t leave was because of FEAR. Fear will stagnate you to the point of no return. After removing myself from this unhealthy relationship, a change had come over me from the top of my head to the sole of my feet ( a GOD change). This GOD change caused me to “LIVE UNAFRAID.”

Living unafraid took me almost to lose my life to grasp this concept. I never understood when folk would say when they were in the realm of death or experiencing a near death experience, they see their life flash before the (from as far as they can remember to current). This is something that I experienced when I was being beaten.

Living unafraid takes faith and trust (confidence) in GOD. Living your best life takes living unafraid. In the summer, me and my girlfriend have brunches in my backyard. I always share with her things that I’m enduring , and how my faith is challenged in the process of it. One day I was beauty resting in my Queen room, she texted me and stated, ” I have something for you, but you have to look for it around your house (treasure hunt). I was so excited because my girlfriend is always doing something wonderful for me in such a loving manner, even if it’s a text with a red heart, it’s special to me. I got up and put my clothes on , went outside for the treasure hunt. The treasure hunt mustarded up seven wrist band with the saying: “LIVE UNAFRAID” on it. This was one of the best gifts that she could have given me. She stated:, “This is what you do on a daily basis.” I wear them with a grateful heart daily.

Life will bring challenges, hills, valleys, and mountains. Just know that with GOD, you are well able to “LIVE UNAFRAID.”

ILYTL!

As long as I can remember, I always lived outside my comfort zone. I really couldn’t explain it or even process this feeling or state of being, but I just walked in it. This is when I knew that GOD had an anointing over my life that was special and needed to be protected. I was talking with my girlfriend the week of November 18, 2014, and she asked me did I want to go to a conference that my sister’s church is having? I said, “Sure! I would love to go!” As I looked forward to this event early in the week, my spirit was was in a place of anticipation and expectation from the word that was going to go forth that morning.

I got up that morning , excited about the conference, getting myself together for the great expectation, fellowship, and brunch that was being presented for the invitees. I was sitting at the table, and I told my mom and sister, “I will hear from GOD this morning.” My mom and sister looked at me, and said, “okkkkayyyyy.” When I spoke this to them, I spoke with authority and power, knowing of assurance that I was going to hear from my daddy this morning, concerning the things of me.

The conference started out with this wonderful spread of fruits, vegetable, breakfast fixing, and some dinner appetizers. The praise and worship was beautiful as we were enjoying our brunch. The preaching was going forth with great power. The power and the anointing of the LORD filled the place. As I was waiting with expectation, the speaker called me up to the front to speak the oracles of GOD. The speaker stated, “GOD said that you live outside your comfort zones everyday. The speaker also stated, “you know how some people just stay in their comfortable box (she drew a square box in the air). They stay in that complacent zone to satisfy themselves (flesh). The speaker said, “You live OUTSIDE your comfort zone everyday, no matter how uncomfortable it is for you. GOD said that he has put an anointing on your life that you don’t understand, but you WALK in it. The speaker proclaimed that, “GOD said that you are His Princess. ” This word that I received changed my life to walk in the oracles of GOD.

Living outside your comfort zone can be very uncomfortable, to say the least. Go to GOD in prayer and tell him your worries, desires, and fears. I guarantee you that GOD will direct your path in the way that you take (His will).

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest (Joshua 1:9).

Transparent: (of a material article) allowing light to pass through so that objects behind can be distantly seen: transparent blue water.

ORIGIN: Late Middle English: from Old French, from medieval Latin transparent – ‘shinning through’ transparere, from Latin transparere, from tans – ‘through’+parere ‘appear.’

Good morning!

I remember one of many conversations that I had with my daddy (GOD) regarding one of the purpose that He had for my life.. The response that I got was one of my worst nightmares coming true (at that time). Fear was raising it’s ugly head in a powerful manner. I was telling GOD that my desire was to do His will for my life. GOD told me, “In order for you to my will, you have to be “TRANSPARENT.” I told GOD, well you’re going to have to get someone else for this position.

I had been through a relationship that was filled with abuse (mental, physical, verbal, emotion, economic, hate, anger guilt, and shame) for five long, laboring years, and GOD was telling me that I have to be “TRANSPARENT.” the embarrassment, and judgment I would encounter if anyone knew what I’ve been through and endured for such a long time.

As GOD continue to deal with my heart (the origin of who I am), I finally surrendered to Him and the will that He had for my life. I told GOD, “You’re going to have to be with me through this process.” GOD is faithful according to His promises towards me. GOD is an awesome and amazing GOD! GOD put me on the potter’s wheel, and molded me into the Queen that He saw me as from the beginning of time.

Whatever you’re struggling with or feel that you’re not adequate enough because of your past, present, or future, I encourage you to go to GOD in prayer, seek His face, sit in His presence, lay prostrate before the Ancient of Days. I promise you, GOD will show up and come through for you (Ephesians 3:20) in a way that will cause you to rise up and be your authentic self and trust the process for your life.

GOD said: “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show you great and mighty things, which thou knowest not (Jeremiah 33:3).
