Isaiah 52: 2

Shake yourself from the dust, arise; Sit down, O Jerusalem!
Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion! For thus says the Lord:

" You have sold yourselves for nothing, And you shall be redeemed without money."


...dont sell yourself for nothing...was what I heard the Lord speak to my heart just a few days ago....


I was in prayer with my boy before he left for school and this particular morning was so much sweeter then any other morning, that I've had in sometime. His presence and stirring that filled my heart made me cry...." Lord, forgive me...." I had been so busy and my thoughts and attitude were becoming more carnal..LOl.....

We have to understand the cost in turning our ear away from the father...our heart over time begins to harden itself from the things of the Lord and soon the things of this world begins to slowly comform us back into it's image.....

and sadly the result of this...is hearing less from God and turning away from our convictions....


Teach us to number our days Lord that we may recognize how few they are....

I know I can't rely on anything or anyone for safety. No one can help us in time of need, the only one and who truly can is Jesus. He has proved over and over again how faithful He is...and He loves us unconditionally. Learning His word and declaring it over my loved ones daily....is the only thing that will keep us in this hour....

The news with this H1N1 flu is really frightening to many communites. It's going to hit harder among our First Nation Communities, sadly. We already have such a high percentage of diabetes among us and with this new flu, many more will die....

For the unsaved, I can see why things are scary but for those who are waiting and adorning themselves while waiting for the Lord, this time is exciting!!! the time is so near that we will be caught up in the air!

but sadly, many are just playing....this word that the Lord gave was an encouragement, don't be too busy, dont get caught up with pleasures here that are only temporary...some are so caught up on appearance and are so superficial and really...what does all that matter anyways???

we're not taking anything out when we leave, and no one including our bank accounts is going to save anyone....we have an advocate for those who know Him, get back into the prayer closet....as I am also....

we are in such a day that we need to stay near the Lord more then any other time ....don't sell yourself for nothing....it will never be worth it...

I know my walk with the Lord is my first priority and I don't want anything but Him...maybe a partner ( a partner in ministry to walk hand in hand with) but even if that doesn't happen, then thats fine too....

nothing in this world now, can compare to my relationship with Jesus Christ and more then anything right now, is a strong desire just to be with Him....

I share and exhort cause...I know the feeling of tryna do what's right and not doing it...but that's ok...just arise and shake it off and press in and talk to the father....

We are all one body, Amen! so I exhort and encourage you to pick up the Word of the Lord and fight the fight of faith...

keep me in your prayers....luv you much....

Get moving!!




Isaiah 58:11-12

The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

Those from among you shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;

I was thinking of this verse this past week and remembering both times it was given to me. Both times were critical times in my life and both times, I needed to hear a word and although maybe at that specific time, I didn't know what they meant, I knew the Lord was giving me a word to stand on.

I know we are in days now where is it sometimes so difficult to find a church that preaches truth anymore, or to be felt "just accepted."

I just want to take a moment to encourage you...the Lord is near to those who call on Him...and we just need to get into the prayer closet and seek His face...

I was remembering when I first came to know the Lord and how it was...it wasn't easy...I would try and read the word and yes, many times I had no idea what it was sayin, but press in!

those who seek Him with all their heart will find Him....I would pray in the car, in the shower, anywhere....and just talk with Him.

One thing I would like to say ...there is no right way or wrong way on how we pray....we can just talk to the father, whatever is on the heart, talk to Him....He already knows what there but it's faith that please Him...

I know in my beginning...it was " Father, I don't know what to say and I don't understand everything but lead me Lord, I want to follow you...forgive me for all that I've done and don't leave me the same..."

pressing in everyday and readin what I could, He was faithful, and He would always show up. His sweet presence would fill the room and most often times, I would just weep.....His presence so amazing and wonderful....I loved Him so much cause He first loved me, He loved me no matter what I had done and all I needed to do was repent. He loved me so much, so much to not leave me the same....I was miserable in my state that I was in, I was horrible!

But now I was readin the word and it was beginning to renew my mind, I was this wonderful new creation and it was powerful. I had a new life in Christ and so do you....His word is truly a lamp unto our feet....I was changin and others were witnessing this, and thats whats amazing about it all.

When we lift up His name He will draw all men unto Him. He will feed with the word and lead us into all truth. Hang on and endure....thou there be a famine in the Land, the Lord will sustain you...enter in His rest and meditate on His word....

Read some of the old testaments and know that the stories of adversity and trials we also will endure. But like the old, we have the Holy Spirit that will empower us from on high to endure. We are filled with His power and with each trial, our faith will increase and you will see growth! and the former things of this world that used to captivate you will not captivate you no more! taste the Word and see how good it is, pray for wisdom and love the Lord with all your heart. He sees us exactly where you are and has delivered His word for this time to encourage and edify, Hallelujah!! cause He cares for you and for me....

well until next time, continue to sing and worship the Lord with all your heart and all your soul!!!

Do not grow weary...

Greetings in that wonderful name of the Lord!!!

Hallelujah!! we have a name that is higher and powerful to run to...we have a Saviour to turn to in time of adversity....

I just found out the news that I have been waiting patiently to hear...and that is the results of my test. I passed! and I'm excited...I will be taking Social work, the necessary ground work for the "Addictions Councillor" that I am pursuing. So all is moving forward and I just have to continue to trust the Lord.

I will be moving end of July...always knew I would be moving again cause this apartment we are in was only temporary...a 2bdrm just isn't big enough. I am getting nervous of the move again....still will be here in Ontario and close enough for my kids to come back. I hope to come back here in a couple of years and begin doing what He has purposed in my heart to do....and I know now that all things will work out for good for those who love Him...


Waiting on the Lord for what I was to do next...and Timmins kept coming up in my circle of fellowship and with the college having only one opening there for my course...ok Lord! I'll go....so everything is now falling into place. I guess I would have liked to be closer to my mom, but the Lord is doing a work so Im content even in this. Its amazing...that wherever He places us...He always gives us the grace to do it....

I am going to try and be more consistent in bringing all my networks together. I know I have many half completed blogs and many more that I have forgotten about. I know it's all about being consistent and diligent in doing what Im supposed to be doing! so pray for me...all in due time....I thank the Lord for loving me in all my shortcomings and faults!

Well... all is good, the Lord is in control and everything is in His hands....I have nothing to worry about......

We have His word and the Word is all we need...we need to stand on it and not be moved by whatever is tryna come against us...His will will be done in our lives....just by surrendering ours....

Have a blessed day...

I love you Lord....

Deuteronomy 4:29

Seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul...

God is good....His sweet presence is amazing and I love Him more everyday....

I thank Him that our lives are not determined by our feelings and our emotions...cause that alone is scary..

Today and this week has been a tryin one and I had to continue to encourage myself in the Lord. Thoughts that were tryna come in and keep me down, but it's a battle folks and I thank the Lord I have His word to run to.....that's the amazing thing...

It's been about a week now that I have officially began writing my next book. It will be a devotion! praise the Lord, can't wait!

When it was stirred in my heart to write this one, I said to the Lord, " well...I know I can write what I know you have shown me but Lord, how am I going to do the rest, that's 365 days, there's no way I know that many scriptures to write on?

That was the word the Lord gave me, " seek me with all your heart and you will find me"

Searching the scriptures and seeking Him, He will show me more, I have nothin to worry about, just need to be obedient. So I have started writing again and I pray that this time I'm done in a year.
I'm excited cause I know that growing more into His likeness is going to be awesome and I won't be the same this time next year.

This is such a message for all of us...we all need to get to know the father on a more and intimate level. Allow Him to be first in our lives and allow Him to lead....we need to be this aroma of Christ and by this, His presence in our lives will change many lives.
We will continue to grow from glory to glory...it all begins in the renewing of the mind. This of course, comes from reading the Word and spending time in prayer and repenting of things that are not of Him and surrendering things in our lives that are not of Him.

God is the lover of our souls and He desires that He be a lover of our souls...I look forward to knowing Him more and more and taking a deeper walk with Him....He alone is worthy of our time....I encourage you to take a deeper walk with Him too...He waits for you too...just press in and whatever and wherever you are...just talk with Him....it all starts a little at a time....

We are such in a time when all hell seems to be cut loose and crazy things are happening all over...the word is the only thing that will keep us and that will comfort our hearts...His word is the only foundation we need to trust and build on....We can't depend on anything else right now....so continue to read the word and stay encouraged....

Candlelight Vigil for Tori Stafford...

WOW! it was such a sad and somber night...at Victoria Park we had a candlelight vigil for Tori Stafford. It was good..the band, singing and for all those who came out. I lead in prayer and God was good...as always! thank-you Jesus! An awesome woman in the community heard about the story and decided to put this rally together and she did amazing! Lord, just bless her and her family for having the heart to do this...Amen.


As for the prayer...the Lord moved some to tears and it was sad...praying and trusting that soon, there will be a breakthrough in this and Tori will be found and there will be some closure....


I was able to meet Tori's parents and that was difficult. I didn't have any words and really? what can one say? it was hard..but I was able to pass on my book and that's all I could do..well of course...continuing to pray...so to those I urge...continue to pray for Tori and her parents....

well...tonight is fireworks at Royal View Pentecostal Church so we're excited for that...so see you later, continue to look to Jesus...and have a blessed day...
