The Songstress:Teena Marie aka LADY T

Noted to be the "IVORY QUEEN OF SOUL" in my eyes you are a True Artist
One that will never be forgotten
Your sultry voice rocked us in the late 70's with hits like "I'm just a sucka fo your love"
And hypnotized us in the 80's with tracks like "I need your lovin & Irons in the fire"
You didn't stop there your rocked us again with "Porteguese love & Square biz"

Of course there are too many to mention but my favorite was De Ja Vu
It was nostalgic to me and I wonder how as a child I connected with you
Growing up to you melodies were a blessing in disguise

Who knew you would pave the way for many that would come after you
Such as Mariah Carey, PINK, Christina Agulierra and many more
All I know is that there will never be anotha like you LADY T

Born Mary Christine Brockert March 5, 1956
You lived a life as an artist only most dream of...
With ups and downs and struggles of addictions in the fast life

Through it all you rose to the top
Battling the demons of your past and facing the promise of your future
Its hard for me to write this because I truly dont know your fate

But I pray that somewhere in between time
You met our Creator and accepted that call on your life
So that now you are resting safe in the Masters arms

My prayer now is that your daughter will have a blessed
And prosperous life never forgetting from whence she came
Knowing that her mom touched the lives of many

To you Lady T I dedicate this tribute
I love you and I thank you for pouring into my life
As you have sown seeds of music life has watered it

And today I am a fairchild product of the music era where you soared
Gone but never forgotten...May you rest in peace
And your legend live on forever... One Love

TEENA MARIE aka LADY T

The After Life- Everlasting

The After Life- Everlasting

One day my spirit will be present before the ALMIGHTY
Alpha & Omega.. On that day my spirit shall be weighed
Declaring if my deeds of life have sufficed, determining where
I shall spend eternal life

You ever wonder what it will be like for your flesh to fall fast asleep
To awaken in the spiritual atmosphere where you & the creator shall meet
The environment will be like none you have ever seen, what it truly
Is not even me nor you can conceive

To be in the presence of Most High and sing praises unto YHWH
Is a lifelong quest of mine, but then I wonder what will it really
Be like? Time after time… Am I truly ready to meet that unknown destiny?
T he after life is everlasting… is it not?

Spirits of all mankind shall adjourn all in one place
First to be judged without haste and then for those who
Are chosen & who lived up to their calling
Our names shall be revealed in the Lambs book of life

When every knee has bowed and every tongue confessed
The everlasting after life shall begin
There will be praising forevermore; there I shall meet my Savior
T he Cherubim and my Guardian Angels

Rejoicing in praise unto Most High shall be our lives
For those who won’t make it to where we dwell
T here will be gnashing of teeth and they will
Burn endlessly, such a sad ending especially
W hen it could have been prevented

In this life I will now prepare for the afterlife everlasting
And you should too if you dare!!
Don’t put off tomorrow what should be done today
Choose life eternal, JESUS is the way.

Build your relationship with Most High
Let your praise be heard and make your presence known
Don’t leave eternal up to chance, seek the kingdom today
My prayer is that you have everlasting life in paradise
SHALOM

Are you Promotable?

Often times God will allow us to go through situations and circumstances just to see how we will respond? Will we whine, complain, or yet praise God in the midst of the trials and give thanks knowing that God will make a way somehow!! I must say I am guilty of whining and complaining sometimes..."Lord, why me? why now? Aren't I already going through enough?"


But yet daily my prayer is for God to make me more like YHWH's character, to align my steps with his will. And so as God begins to transform me and put me through the FIRE to PURIFY me I whine... lol I could hear God saying are you serious Kenya? You are equipped for this woman up and seek me I will help you only if you turn to me, use the strength that I have given you...


Hebrews 11:1-2 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for...


Philippians 4:4-7 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.


I have learned that even in those trying and uncomfortable times GOD is permitting these tests and trials so that my character might be built and so I may learn to persevere and have endurance. For it matters not how quickly you win the race but how you endure throughout. Let us take time today to look within ourselves and look at the situations around us. What is God teaching us today? How are you responding to your issues? Are you trusting and believing in God no matter what is right before you...The world may say one thing about your economic status, your marriage, your children, family, you health, etc.. But God has the last say so!


Romans 5:3-4 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.


For those who say..Well Lord I am doing all that you asked of me! I'm tithing, feeding and clothing the homeless..etc Why is this happening to me? Well the bible says:


Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.


Romans 2:7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.

Hebrews 10:36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

So remember the next time you are going through what seems to be the most horrible situation at the most inopportune time, that perhaps God just wants to see if you are ready for the next level!! The next blessing that he has prepared for you and your response to the situation will decide how soon you receive what your heart desires..

My prayer for you this day is that you become PROMOTABLE according to the will of God and by the strength and word that is embedded in you from on high. Believe me I am yet walking in this now you are not alone but together we can make it!!! How? We are more than conquerors in CHRIST JESUS!!

SHALOM

It's AMAZING!!

It's amazing how I thought I knew all there was to know

Yet my creator keeps revealing more to me...

I never knew that knowledge and wisdom encompassed so much



Yet today I am thankful for all that I am learning

For I am being taught by the best teacher

Ruach HaKodesh(Holy Spirit) yes I am the pupil



When I was a child I aspired to be an Acheiver

But now that means so much more in the sense

That I do it for YHWH, my Abba, My King



It's amazing no longer do I crave the attention of man

Yet this desire is being fulfilled daily by my creator..

I have come to appreciate every breath I take



Every step I make is now ordered

It's amazing cause back in the day I could care less

I was doing me and as long as I seemed happy it was cool



It's amazing how YHWH can transform you into someone

You never thought you would be..Yet I am wiser, stronger, and studious

I am learning what LIFE is truly about..learning to cherish every moment



It's amazing how much YHWH can reveal to you if only you seek...

Yes it can be a bit overwhelming at times but don't worry you won't

Get more then you can handle YHWH knows just what you need



Its amazing that after years of sinning I am still here to share the TRUTH with you

Ain't none of us perfect but in YHWH and thru Yeshua we are made whole

A new creature in Christ when we die to flesh and live unto the Spirit of Most High



Its AMAZING!!!! GOD is AMAZING!!

Be blessed and share this amazement with someone today

To Choose Christ is to Gain LIFE!!! Eternal Life...



Shalom (peace)

Through the Trenches of LIfe

There are times in life when we are broken
We feel in despair, no one can fathom this feeling
In this time I reach out now even more to my Creator

For this is when YHWH's love embraces me
The pain is nothing compared to his love
The bills and debt will pass away, the trials of today will fade

YHWH's Love is the same today yesterday and forevermore
So I strive to go to another place in YHWH
Holiness is what I long for..It seems so far away

But I'm so close that's why it hurts sooo bad, yeah I know
Not my will but Thy will for me...I need the GLORY of Most High
To live in my worship, in my praise, saturate my thoughts

Manifest your will in my life ABBA I need thee
When life throws its best punches We must not back down
Then we must seek the face of Most High even more

We need the GLORY to capture us
Purify us, Purge us, Deliver us...
This life is not a game and there are no do overs

When the curtain closes the show is over
Only to open again at judgement
Eternal life of paradise is offered unto those
Who have lived a faithful life unto YHWH in relationship

Accepting the LOVE and the SUN
Shekinah GLORY... Lord have mercy on us all
For the wings of righteousness shall hide us

Through the trenches of Life..WE NEED THY GLORY
Send down your love, let your spirit abound in us
Forgive us Lord, Have mercy and let your grace endure

I won't give up for I was born to FIGHT
I am more than a conqueror in you
The devil is defeated.. As my tears flow I know the battle is won!!

Thank you Abba, Adonai, El Elyon, Elhoim
YHWH you are my deliverer and dwelling place
I will abide in you..My trust is in you...

Through tthe trenches of life you shall walk with me
Although the shadows of death follow I know I have
Eternal life in you... Thank you for healing and deliverance


All Praises only unto you whom is able to keep us from falling
Mighty God... Jehovah Jireh, King of Kings... Shalom

TIME

As I look at my life now I realize how much Time has gone by
In an instant, a twinkle of an eye, it seems Time has slipped away
My journey is nowhere near complete yet I enter into
A TIME warp it seems

Nature is doing its own thing
Storms passing, tsunami's rising, earthquakes shaking
I wonder even now what truly lies in this moment of time
Have I stumbled across something miraculous?

Understanding that time stops for no one
It embraces the shadows of our past
Giving life to the future

If only I could hold it in my hands
Along with my dreams and destiny
If I could monitor every thought and vision

Time would be my friend allowing me to exist
Existing eternally yes that would be a treat
Time is the ultimate gift for it can be given

Yet also taken away... If you cherish it
Blessings shall follow, invest in it and use it wisely
Time waits for no man...

Time it's not on your side so it seems but in
A twinkle of an eye you could have it without
Question dwelling in a moment of bliss

TIME.... TIME..... TIME... Live in it!!!

The POWER in PRAYER

So often we think of prayer as a means of blessinig our food or wishing someone else well being, health, and prosperity. Well I have found that prayer is so much more!!! Even when I don't feel like praying I must urge myself to do so!! For this is my way of communication with my Creator, YHWH the one who sustains me. Throughout the Bible many men and women prayed hoping that the Lord would hear their cries, requests, and praise!

How often do you talk to God? It should not just be when you are going through but also when things are well. Lately it seems all hell has been breaking loose all around me. Yet I pray... I have always prayed and often times I feel God does not hear me..Do I stop Praying? NO!!!! I pray more!! For I know the word of YHWH tells me he hears me.. Sometimes there is silence and an answer may not come right away. YHWH just wants me to wait and be STILL. Being still does not mean I do nothing... I must still actively seek the face of my Father and call on my Savior Jesus Christ for he is my Advocate. He shall stand in the gap for me..Praying unceasingly because the Holy Spirit will translate my moans and groans unto the Father..

The bible gives us many examples of those who prayed for the upliftment of others even during the midst of their own struggles. As well, through their prayer they exemplified the love of Christ and Power of Prayer. Even requests of Prayer in the bible showed the expectant Power of Prayer.

Ephesians 6:19-20
Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should....Request by Paul

Acts 4:31
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.... The spirit of YHWH honors prayer

Colossians 1:9-14
9For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully 12giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. 13For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins

I guess what I am trying to say is NEVER STOP PRAYING!! It doesn't have to be this long drawn out prayer. LORD HELP!! two words thats a prayer! Of course we want to give honor and Praise unto God when we pray. Thanking Jesus for being our advocate for it is in his name that we pray and it is only by him that we reach the father..Allow the Holy Spirit to overtake you and dwell within, for then you open the spiritual door for so many blessings. Confess your burdens, repent of your sin knowing and unknowingly but most of all take the time to talk to your Creator and allow YHWH to speak to you.. Which means at some point you must be quiet and listen. And Of course last but not least when you mostly feel like giving up and you feel praying aint worth nothing, cause it won't change anything...CONTINUE to pray until SOMETHING happens. My dear brothers and sistahs PUSH your way through and PRESS your way into the prescence of God!

Easier said then done I know but remember Joy shall come soon Trouble don't last always.. As I give you this word I minister to myself as well.. Please Pray for me and I will pray for you. Peace and Blessings FB Fam!

Ephesians 3:16-21
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

20Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

The gift of YHWH is Revelation of Himself

Today I find strength in knowing that YHWH loves me so much to empower me through his word and the lives of others whom YHWH has annointed. The word of Most High is forever revealing within the very mysteries of the bible. It will only be revealed when one seeks YHWH. YHWH will reveal these things unto you because you thirst after it!!

As the words says in 1Corinthians 2:9 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him."

Unless God reveals himself to us we will not know. We cannot read enough...YHWH must reveal it to us!Know that today your very existence is a mystery within the mind of God. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. If you cannot see God you are not yet pure... We have to take time to have relationship with God. More than you ever have before. It's time out for playing church! You don't have time for that no more!! We are at WAR! You cannot fight if you are unprepared!!

We must be strong in YHWH for he is greater in us than he that is in the world. Stop wallowing in your mess. Depression, infections, afflictions...STOP!! You must make the difference you have the POWER!
As stated in Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

We must be ever present about our will. When YHWH says pray, PRAY!! When YHWH says fast, FAST!! We must denounce the spirits that say no to YHWH!! We were created to worship YHWH! We have authority over the advesary because YHWH created us to do what the adversary chose not to do!! Therefore causing the enemy to rise up against us because of the POWER YHWH has given us.

Ephesians 6:11
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Only when we allow YHWH to reveal his mysteries unto us, only then can we operate in the position we were created to for!! Be ye not afraid... We have the POWER to turn things around in our lives. To speak LIFE and make it happen... Today make the choice if you will let YHWH reveal his mysteries unto you. As said in Jeremiah 29:13, And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

You have authority walk in it!! I don't know if this will touch the heart of anyone today but after watching 5 Juanita Bynum youtube video series I felt compelled to share the word YHWH had given her in my own way...Reaching out to those who are close to me. I pray that it will add unto you Great POWER and Revelation within your day today!! Be blessed and know that YHWH is YHWH!!

Shalom

You are My Everything and I trust you!!

Yes there are times when I have looked the other way
Expecting someone else to take your place
Little did I know, no one could fill your shoes
Your imprint in my life has changed me so

There will never be another to touch me the way you do
Your very essence fills my soul, gives me chills as I grow
The way you listen to me even when you know I've done wrong
You allow me to enter in with open arms

You never question me or constantly remind me of my wrong doings
Yet you forgive me while yet warning me that I will reap what I sow
I can't help but know tis true for what I put into the ground shall also rise
You tell me no worries about life, clothes, food or shelter

For you have my best interest at hand and will make sure I'm ok
You care for me even when others turn their backs on me
When my mother and father have forsaken me yet you are there
I trust you for your word stands true..You never change

You are the same yesterday, today and forevermore
Today I just wanna say THANK YOU!! For loving me inspite of me
Even when I didn't return the love yours still shown through
You are simply AMAZING what can I say???

Except You are my EVERYTHING and I trust YOU!!
Abba, YHWH, Jehovah, Elohim, Adonai, El Shaddai
Yeshua, Jesus, The Christ, Emmanuel, The Way
Ruach Elohim, Holy Spirit, Ruach Ha-kodesh, Ruach Adonai

You are Incredible, Magnificent, Marvelous
You are my everything and I love you
Forever my soul shall be intertwined with you
Thank you lover of my soul..I bless your name

Yours Truly,

Your chosen one, daughter, servant, humble one...

Endow me...Lord!!

So many days and nights have gone by
And yet daily I am constantly trying to reach
The next level in you...Well Father I have now

Me with the power of the Holy Ghost, The Ruach Elohim, Shekinah

Fill me with your spirit YHWH this shall be the only way
I can even stand in this life of mine... Endow me
Annoint me from the top of my head to my toes
Allow me to tap into the power and authority you created me with

So many of us are lost and don't know that You are THE WAY
Not religion, going to church, or even doing the work of the church
It is having a relationship with you that is the laying foundation
Abba if you ENDOW me then the people will see....

Fill me Lord let your light REFLECT in me
You are Strong and Mighty and yet when I am weak
You are my strength...We are your creation, we need you
So fill us with your spirit, Fill me with your spirit

There is none like you, there will never be another
You are the very reason why I exist...You are the reason
I write, I sing, I speak, I live, I breathe..Endow me with your Spirit

Thank you Lord for loving me

You are Wonderful, Magnificent in every way...

For it is the very reason why I have survived the evils of this world

To speak Life to my life and others, To open blind eyes to see you,
Endow me...Lord I need to feel your spirit daily, Endow me....

I am no longer me but you that live in me
Endow me Jesus!!! Endow me... You reign 4-eva
In my life I shall know no other... The Father, Son, & Spirit

The perfect trinity, mind, body & soul
All praises unto you Most High
Peace and Blessings

A Call to Persevere

But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires." These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

Doxology
To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

My Spirit Soars

My spirit soars seeking the presence of Most High
Finding beautiful creations and majestic places
My spirit longs to delight in my Heavenly Father
Yah teach me your ways and decrees

Allow them to become alive in me with every breath I breathe
May my thoughts become pure in words and dreams
My spirit soars to find the secret dwelling place of Most High
In and out of mystic realities my spirit yearns to dream

Dream a conscious state of being that declares my freedom in thee
Yah has given me the ability to be free but first I must release
All my inhibitions, frustrations, and unhealthy desires
I give them all to Yah so that I may soar freely

As I continue my journey I realize I am still heavy laden
Once again I return to my father all to learn that I haven’t
Emptied of my self completely a lot of me still yet remains
I must let go of me so that Yah may increase….

Denying myself and taking on my cross
Yes trials and sufferings have come but these are simply tests
Enhancers to make me stronger, wiser, brighter
Allowing the light of Most High to shine through

Yet my spirit soars increasingly as I fast, pray, and meditate
I find my love, my strength, my hope and my fountain
A fountain of blessings overflowing with mercy and grace
Soaring, soaring, soaring throughout all eternity

There are now no limits on me because of who
I have become Who I will forever be…
A spirit divine and forever intertwined with
Yah In mind, body and soul…so daily I will
Continue to soar for my spirit shall
One day find my resting place in thee….
My spirit Soars throughout all eternity

Time has no boundary for in paradise is where
You shall find me...........
Yahweh, me and my brethren all who have soared before me
In a wonder of ecstasy that is only comprehensive
If you allow yourself to enter in….
Into the bosom of Most High forever ….
My spirit soars

Peace and Blessings

The Visible Ones

1 Peter 2:12 Live such good lives among the pagans, that though they
accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify
God on the day he visits us.

As we are called to live supernatural lives we realize it is
daunting!! We know we can't truly live up to it. We are commanded
to have a kind of righteousness that exceeds human expectations.
We are to be clearly distinguishable from the world we live in,
yet we are not taken out of it!!! We have no choice but to live
in it. In this time culture and customs pressure us and temptations
wage war against us. The identity of the Holy Ones of God seems
awfully farfetched sometimes...As it is assuaulted daily.


None the less God expects us to do as we were commissioned. Jesus
emphasized to his disciples that they were salt and light in this
world, letting thier good deeds be seen. In this scripture notated
above Peter reiterates the importance of living the kind of life that
will prompt unbelievers to glorify God when they see him.


For us there is only one way to do that and we must be adamant in
our resistance to the currents of this world. If we isolate ourselves
from sinful neighborhoods and difficult situations, we have failed this
command!!If we live in the midst of corrupt cultures and let them rub
off on us, we have also failed this command. There is only one option
for us: We have to live in hostile territory; and we have to live
contrary to it!!

** The question is how are you doing that? Do you tend to isolate
yourself from secular influences or ungodly people? If so, you can't
be the witness God wants you to be. On the other hand do you let the
world influence you to the point that there is no distinction between
you and your surroundings? Then you aren't the witness God wants
you to be. Seek a balance. Don't avoid your world, and don't
succumb to it. LIVE for HIS glory where you are!!!***

Where Are My People???

My people I am calling on you the ones who I created to worship
You are my people my chosen ones’
Where are you now in this time of need?
So many lost souls, so many hurting and dying souls
They need to be encouraged and acknowledged but yet they’re not

Where are my People, the chosen?
Those who I have ordained and given grace and mercy too?
You are my treasures and in you I believe
Lately you have shown me a lack of obedience
But that’s ok!! I have already girded you with all you need

It is time and the choice is yours
The season has come and a nation of healers must rise up
Healers to the people who are lost and don’t know me in the
Pardon of their sins…Yes you must choose to fight in this army
I don’t take prisoners, my job is freeing them
From inner most spiritual wars and conflicts

Where are my people? Will you rise up and be heard?
Will you rise up and make a difference
Will you rise up and stand for me?
Standing for the Christ, The Holy Spirit, and Yahweh
Or will you just succumb to the plans of the adversary?

I know the battle is hard and people are watching
But I tell you the truth when you ride with me
None of that even matters …just trust in Yah
And know everything will be alright
So are you ready for this eternal journey that begins now?

If you are let me hear you shout with my official
War cry of praise Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!
Praise Most High the nation of the Healers is on the rise!!

Peace and Blessings

When you have gone through the war....

When you have gone through the war

Stand strong and don't back down

Retreat to rest and allow Yah to restore you

Remember there is no failing these tests

The battle has already been won



Don't loose focus, this is only a time of retreat

Because the war again you will soon meet

Yet on another level with new devils

but do not fret...Why??



Cause Most High, Yaweh got cha back

Rest assured nothing and no one can escape Yah's attack

I declare Peace, Joy, and Love for you to go forth

Yes you need these three but most of all Yah's love



There is none greater

Yes, know that once you have gone through the war

Your name is scribbled on the advesary's pad

They got your number and yo next assignment is their mission

To stop before you even can dish it...but don't worry



The Holy Spirit has got cha back

Stand in the authority Christ has given you

You are more than conquerors through Him

Yet when you are weak He is strong



So run on my sistah

Run on my brotha

Lay your burdens upon the Lord

Take up your cross daily



Deny self and allow Yah to pour into you

Truly then you shal see another VICTORY
When you've Gone through the War!!!


Peace and Blessings

Blessings Began to Overflow

It is amazing that in those moments when we most need a blessing
It often takes its time getting to us but when the overflow begins
It’s always on time, You see I have learned the meaning of patience

Yet learning to wait on the Lord for Yah shall supply every need
While waiting I pray and praise never giving up HOPE
For it is the very substance of my blessings coming forth

I speak life to my situation reminding it of my God and his might
For Yah is strong and mighty and anything is possible
As long as I abide in Yah and the word of Most High in me

Blessings will soon come granted they may not come
When I want them to but they are ALWAYS, always on time
I have found when the blessings began to flow they do so in abundance

One after the other until it seems no more….
Not only are you blessed but those around you are blessed
Yah opens doors only Yah can open
And closes doors no man can close

Once the windows of heaven are commanded to open
They began to pour out blessings; untold blessings only Yah
Could provide, therefore all glory and honor goes unto God

The Blessings began to overflow when we align ourselves
With the word of God and stay in Yah’s presence often
For it is the bread of life that sets us free in thee

When we feast upon the living bread and drink of that
Everlasting water all things come into being
Being in the sense of obtaining spiritual completeness

Opening up our minds to the possibilities and wonders
Of our Magnificent and on time God when we pay attention
To all that Yah has already done and began to give thanks

Praise starts and then the blessings proceed when we are in constant
Prayer with determination and declaring our authority in our lives
We find the blessings will increase less we began to bless others with our speech

The overflow in abundance is in our reach and when it starts
Oh how sweet!! All praises unto Yah for God has made this possible

PRAISE YAH, I'M STILL STANDING!!

Trials have come to make me strong
Though in the midst of these trials I have felt weak
Yet I held on with everything I hold to Yah's unchanging hand
I realize that I walk and not faint because of my faith

I have lifted my eyes unto the Lord
I have Prayed and by and by Yah has answered
Not always have things worked out when I wanted them to
But Yah is always on time....

Mind you, I have learned PATIENCE and what it truly means
To WALK by FAITH and not by sight...
I am stronger than ever before now, because Yah has kept me
I feel invigorating love in abundance oh how I praise thee

For all that has and is to come there is only one
To be thankful to and only one whom I will Praise ---YAH
Through the valley's of death still I rise with an awesome spirit of God inside
Still I rise... No weapon formed against me shall prosper

I am a warrior and Yah is my strength
My Rock and salvation, my breastplate and helmet
Jesus is my savior and no other name is higher
I declare Peace in my life and on this journey

Yet still I stand cause Yah has Blessed... Oh how I sing praises
I give honor and worship the Most High
I am thankful to have this opportunity to praise
This storm is near over I can feel it just a little more to go

Thank God the Battle is already won and I am a VICTOR!!
PRAISE YAH I AM STILL STANDING...FOREVERMORE!!!!

The Transfiguration

Matthew 17
The Transfiguration
1After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
4Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."

5While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"

6When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be afraid." 8When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.

9As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, "Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."

10The disciples asked him, "Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?"

11Jesus replied, "To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. 12But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands." 13Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.

******************************************************************************************************************

So many times we read the word of God not realizing the message is right before our eyes. In this passage Jesus goes up on a mount with James, Peter, John and his brother. And before their eyes Jesus is transfgured with a light shone upon him. The disciples see Elijah and Moses standing with Christ. Not realizing the symbolization of this meeting they attempt to make tabernacles for the three. Yahweh then speaks and says the Jesus is his son and he is well pleased with him.



How many times have you asked God to show himself in your life...allow his prescence to be made in a super natural way and then when Yah does, you disregard the moment given? I believe that is what happens in this moment for those who are chosen to partake. Then Jesus simply tells them that Elijah has already come when they question this meeting...They do not realize that the spirit of Elijah has come through John the Baptist who has made the way for Jesus. Once again Jesus is showing those who are yet walking with him that he is who he says he is.



You see our blessings don't always come in the packages we expect them to nor in the persons we think they should come through...But God knows what is best and by and by if we are faithful Yah will reveal his plans unto us.



You see the hebrew meaning of ELIJAH is The Lord is my God!! El I Jah and even though the brothers thought that the one who was for Elijah had not not come....Now it is revealed to them that the one had come. Yet will they believe. how many times does God allow transfigurating moments in your life and you simply turn the other way?



Stop! Don't do that anymore, allow Yah to use you in your tranfigurating moment and allow it to be a testimony for someone else. Although it seemed as though the brothers were completely lost insome instances these are the same ones who helped build up the CHURCH. Peter was the ROCK on which Christ built the church.



Matthew 16:18

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.



Because of the brothers constant will to seek the master's will and follow in the way of Christ they were used to serve in the high calling of their time. Yes you too were created to walk in the divine light of Yah and walk in your calling. Don't let your tranfiguring moment pass you by with out noticing the purpose of it. Seek and ye shall find, ask and it will be given unto you. And as Jeremiah 33:3 says:

'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'



When Yah reveals prepare your heart to recieve and you shall live abundantly. Peace and blessings Fam. I pray I have shared something you may gain insight from. May the Lord add a blessing to the reading of his word! Shalom

Stand Strong in the Face of the Adversary!!

Philippians 1:27-28

27Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel 28without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.



Often times we may find ourselves facing obstacles, people, spirits that in no way form or fashion are supportive for us or to us. Yahweh has sent us an encouraging word through the life of our fellow brethren. We are to STAND STRONG in Yah and move accordingly. We must not allow ourselves to be afraid.... No matter the situation. It was hard for me to swallow this pill but yet the words are true and effective. We must remember:



Psalm 27:1

The LORD is my light and my salvation
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life

of whom shall I be afraid?



When everyone from immediate family and friends are against you and the path you have taken for Yah, Holdfast. You know in your heart and soul that Yah has directed your path let no one deter you. Yes the attcks of the enemy will come full force and the trials will be allowed to make you stronger. Yet even in these times you will feel at your weakest. It is then that you must allow the POWER of Most High- Yahweh to keep you and sustain you during the storm. The rains will come and the thunder will roll, lighting will flash, and the oceans will roar but know that you are not alone.



John 14:16

16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.



The Holy Spirit is with us...Jesus is with us...Yah is with us!! (the Trinity)

As I write this I encourage myself for I am going through this place of what I speak on. I have learned it is better to Trust in God than to depend on myself or man. I have faith and believe, I know Yah will work things together for my good. In the meantime I must GO THROUGH. Knowing that Yah is with me and that the SUN shall rise again. The wings of righteousness shall be revealed and all will see the Glory of my God through me and the trials that Yah will bring me through.



Remember Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.



Be bold and brave! Stand in the Authority that Yah has given unto you. Bind demonic forces and wicked prinicipalities on earth as it is in heaven. And Loose Divinity, strength, confidence, wisdom etc. on earth as it is in heaven in Jesus name!! Cast down imagination and strongholds, you have the power...Yah has given it to you. You are heir to the throne. Be not decieved Our Lord is Alpha and Omega and no one is anything with out Yah. Be strong and stand firm in the promise of Most High.



I will pray that whoever comes upon this piece will gain and be able to share with others the insight that lies within. Peace and Blessings my brothas and sistahs. STAND STRONG in the FACE of the Adversary!!

"Yah Restores and Replaces."

In Job 2 the sons of Yah came to present themselves
before Him and satan was there among them too.
Yah asked if he considered His servant Job there's none
like him, question is, is Yah asking satan to consider you.

The adversary told Yah that he would make Job curse Him to His
face by what He would take Job emotionally and physically through.
Where Job had everything a man can receive at the hands of
Yah satan had taken it all except the wife who treated him like poo.
She said in the 9th verse, Do you still hold fast to your
integrity curse Yah and die.

You see she lost everything including her family and in her
heart she was bitter and knew that Job was the reason why.
In chapter 3 Job wished he wasn't born the emotional
pressure of the testing had taken its toll on him.
There are a lot of people who would break under what Job
went through and I mean plenty of them.

We can't compare the trials we're going and growing
through it may seem like the end but we're not there yet.
You may be hurting now and knowing what you know
the testings may make you want to regret.

Has Yah asked satan to consider His servant you because
if you're not being tested, or attacked something is wrong.
The trials and tribulations come into your life to prove
you fit and worthy they're there to make you strong.

Job had friends or so-called friends to visit him in his
misery remember misery Loves company also.
They tried to blame Job and he even for a moment got
self righteous and his side of the circumstance he tried to show.

Only the youngest of the crowd showed Job the error of his
ways when out of emotion he spoke out.
I find myself doing the same when I'm tested, all in
the Kool- Aid and don't know what the flavor is all about.
After Yah responded to Job and put him in his place
in 42:10 Yah released Job from his captivity.

After Job prayed for his friends he restored him and
replaced twice of what was his property.
Yah replaced the children that was taken and
He restored the Love of his wife.

Yah replaced and restored His servant Job and surely
as a servant you're no different He'll do the same in your life.
What satan uses to test you Yah means it for good.
Read Romans 8:28

Have we Forgotten what Yah asks of us?

Deuteronomy 6:1-25

Deuteronomy 6
Love the LORD Your God
1 These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, 2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. 3 Hear, O Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, promised you.

4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates.

10 When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, 11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, 12 be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

13 Fear the LORD your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name. 14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you; 15 for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land. 16 Do not test the LORD your God as you did at Massah. 17 Be sure to keep the commands of the LORD your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you. 18 Do what is right and good in the LORD's sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land that the LORD promised on oath to your forefathers, 19 thrusting out all your enemies before you, as the LORD said.

20 In the future, when your son asks you, "What is the meaning of the stipulations, decrees and laws the LORD our God has commanded you?" 21 tell him: "We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 22 Before our eyes the LORD sent miraculous signs and wonders—great and terrible—upon Egypt and Pharaoh and his whole household. 23 But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land that he promised on oath to our forefathers. 24 The LORD commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the LORD our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today. 25 And if we are careful to obey all this law before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness."
***********************************************************************************

As a people God had given us a word to remind us of how to follow in his way!! Have we forgotten and fallen astray? Take an evaluation of your life today. We are like the children of Israel, are we not? Yet we do not adhere to the word of Most High...what then shall happen to us on that day of judgment when Yah calls you accountable for what you should have known and done?

African Americans were Once enslaved people in the United states and many other places. Yet we were set free but in some instances with stipulations...Then many men and women fought for our civil rights such as Dr. Martin Luther King. Yet we have forgotten the struggle and sacrifices of our ancestors as well as their God. We now idolize money, lifetsyles, and people as if it is to be worshipped. God has charged us not to forget our past but yet our children today can barely see a brighter future. We must DO SOMETHING! Before it is too late.

Just a thought of today that I am pondering.... I must remember God's word and reflect on what it means for me in this day and time. I believe you should too!!

The Devil is DEFEATED!

Even though the adversary desires to sift me like wheat I can stand on the word of the Most High God and know that Hasatan (the devil) is already defeated!! Recently I have endured trials of anguish, tormenting spirits from hell tying to devour my Joy. They come with lies and distorted visions of my right now life, professing that I need to turn back the hands of time and focus on what once was... Well I stand today as a living testimony that they are liars and I am a VICTOR my battle is already WON.God has brought me too far for me to turn back now! I have taken comfort in the words of James given unto the twelve tribes of the nation:

Trials and Temptations- James 1:1-14

2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

9The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. 10But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. 11For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.

12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

16Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers. 17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

I am thankful unto Yahweh for revealing this word to me in spirit..Now I can stand strong and profess the word of the Most High God....

1The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid? 2When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh,a when my enemies and my foes attack me,they will stumble and fall. 3Though an army besiege me,my heart will not fear; though war break out against me,even then will I be confident. 4One thing I ask of the Lord,this is what I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

5For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. 6Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me;at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;I will sing and make music to the Lord. 7Hear my voice when I call, O Lord; be merciful to me and answer me. 8My heart says of you, “Seek hisb face!” Your face, Lord, I will seek. 9Do not hide your face from me,do not turn your servant away in anger; you have been my helper.Do not reject me or forsake me,O God my Savior.

10Though my father and mother forsake me,the Lord will receive me. 11Teach me your way, O Lord; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors. 12Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,for false witnesses rise up against me,breathing out violence. 13I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living. 14Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.


Isaiah 54

No weapon forged against you will prevail,

and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,

and this is their vindication from me,”

declares the Lord.


I delare this word for myself and family..I plead the blood of Jesus over my household!! I declare I am an heiress to the throne of the Most High God and no devil, demon, etc. in hell can take me down for HE that is in me is greater than he that is in the world!! I pray that my stance and declaration has given you hope and insight today. May the peace of Most High be with you always.......
