His Beauty is Amazing

Beautiful, Handsome, Pretty, Fine, Dime, Gorgeous and so on………
These are just a few words that are used to describe someone that is attractive. Have you ever thought about or seen the Beauty of God before? I did, last night. Remember, when Moses was in the presence of God and although He could not see His face, just being in His presence made Moses have a Radiant face. So much that He had to wear a veil as he went back down to share with the children of Israel, what the Lord revealed to Him.

Last night I saw a piece of a picture of God’s beauty, it’s hard to explain in words. Hollywood, the media and music and even ourselves, we have commercialized beauty. We know what natural beauty is (in the natural) and God does manifest His beauty here on earth, but God’s beauty is FAR beyond the here and now that we see. It’s like I could feel it and see it at the same time. I’m convinced that God is a master artist. He has made everything beautiful in it’s time. A perfect picture painted on His canvas.

What the world may see as messy or not perfect, is God’s perfect masterpiece.
Jesus is the greatest example of this. His ministry was not what the “world” would see as glamorous. Many where plotting to kill Him from the time He started His ministry, He had no home to lay His head, and calvary He was beaten, stripped, spat on, and I could go on. But this was God’s masterpiece.

There is a song that Kim Walker and Jesus Culture sings called “He loves us”. To some, the lyrics may seem really strong, but to me it shows the beauty of God’s love and how even when things in our lives seem messy and unpretty, when we remain in Him, He is creating a beautiful masterpiece:

He is jealous for me
Love's like a hurricane,
I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of
His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me.

Oh, how He loves us so
Oh, how He loves us
How He loves us so.
(x2)

Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves.
(x2)

We are His portion and
He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption
by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking
So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns
violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way


He loves us,
Oh, how He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
OH, how He loves
(x2)

Yeah, He loves us
Oh, how He loves us
Whoa, how He loves us
Whoa, how He loves.

Yeah, He loves us
He loves us
He loves us
He loves.

Yeah, He loves us
Whoa, how He loves us
Whoa, how He loves us
Whoa, how He loves

He loves us,
Whoa, how He loves us
Whoa, how He loves us
Whoa, how He loves

The Power of GOD in the Dance!

I had a conversation with my Dance ministry leader, she shared with me an Awesome testimony. I would like to share with you:

10 years ago, she was ministering with a dance team that traveled different places in the state of Maryland. 10 years later, she got back connected with this dance team and there was a lady that walked up to her. The sister shared that she had been at the event that my leader ministered at and at that time was in a cult. She told her that the dance she saw her do, God used to help free her from the chains of being in that cult. To God be the glory, she is now set free and a part of the Lords' family.

I share this because, it's not us that is powerful, but it's the Lord working through us that gives us power to trample on scorpions and serpents. This testimony really built me back up because honestly lately I had been feeling kind of dry regarding my passion for dance ministry. These are the times we need to press into GOD and drawer closer to Him to see what He would have us to do.

There are no limits to what God can do through us. He has made us all uniquely and He wants to use us exactly like that: Uniquely. Not a carbon copy. Because what He has put in you, He has put there to use you mightily!!!

Let's ask God to give us our fire back and passion for Him through the dance or any worship arts gift He has given us, so that souls can be won, Hearts can be healed, those bound can be set free and so that He will get the glory!!!

God bless!

You have come to royal position, for such a time as this!

Esther 4:14 "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?"

16b "I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish".

Most of us have heard of the story of Queen Esther and maybe even seen the movie. If not, I truly encourage you both men and women, boys and girls to read it. It's a story of obedience, boldness and royalty!

It's like almost every girls dream: Esther went from being an orphan girl to the chosen Queen of the King of Persia. Even every man's dream to find that beautiful Queen to share your life with she is the most beautiful woman to you!

What's so amazing is that it all happened so suddenly. Esther a Jewish girl, probably had planned to live a simple life: serving God and being faithful to her elders/mentors, marry a Jewish man and raise her children up to be faithful to God as well. Not that this would not have been honorable, but God had other plans. Isn't that just like Him, to switch things up on us! He's so marvelous!

Well, as the story builds up before Esther (Hadassah) had to go through (10) months of beauty treatments, along with all the other beautiful virgins to prepare to meet the King and hopefully be the one chosen by Him! After seeing her the King was most attracted to her and she won favor with Him right away and the Royal crown was placed on her head! Her King threw a banquet for her and celebrated her throughout the land (he was excited about his woman)!

Queen Esther finds out through her cousin Mordecai that there was a wicked plot to destroy the Jews by one of the Kings' nobles. Her people needed her help, even though it could very well cost her life. She at first was hesitant, knowing the "protocol" and "traditions" of the royal palace/throne. I'm sure she was just fine being beautiful, the queen and having her maidens with her.

Here is where our scripture picks up and something very important both you and I can learn: What places does God have us right now, what relationships has He blessed us with, what job/assignment has He given us. He has prepared us and shaped us for exactly where we are right now. But it is really not about have the position, the title, the prestige; He has something for us to do and it will require faith and boldness to do us. He is requiring us to speak up, to go forth and maximize the area of influence He has us in right now. Not to sit around and be comfortable with where we are, going with the flow when it's clearly not what God wants or allowing things to continue, when we know the Lord wants to intervene through us.

Notice what Mordecai told Esther in verse 14. Deliverance would still come for the Jews even if she did not carry through with this assignment. God would have raised somebody else up. He did not need Esther to do the assignment but He chose her to do it because He wanted to. There is a difference. Thank God she yielded and went forth in boldness, trusting God all the way not knowing exactly what the end result would be. He wants the same willingness for us, to trust Him that He goes before us in any assignment we have been chosen to do and it will not always be easy! BUT GOD. When we obey and do the difficult things that nobody else wants to do, that He has called us to do; this is when we see His power, provision and miracles and a whole race, generation, denomination, etc. Can be saved!

Just like Queen Esther, she was placed in this royal position to complete this assignment. This is why the Lord has placed you where you are, for such a time as this, no coincidence.

My brother and sister God wants to use you, that's right you! For mighty works, don't look down on assignments He gives you no matter if they seem small or big; Jesus wants to save someone through you. It could be one child or an entire nation. You may be a coach for little league or a president of a fortune 500 company. You could be caring for your elderly parents or the President of the United States! You could be a high school/college/middle school student. Whatever it is, will you go? Will you do what HE has called you to do? And not be pressured by what's popular to conform to the world, but stand for righteousness and holiness?

I'm faced with the same question today, to do something that is not ordinary and not very popular. But I must do it. I must go, in Jesus name! Let's go!!!

What God desires from His children

The love of God is so beautiful and it's real. He loves us SO! It's because of HIM that we can even love others! Tonight, I had the assignment to lead the weekly prayer call we have for the intercessory prayer ministry from my church. I had my nice little agenda for the night planned out and everything. As we began to praise and worship the Lord, I felt that He wanted us to continue. 30 minutes past by, 45, then an hour. I then heard Him say: " You are in my presence, I love my children to tell me how they feel about me". I shared this with everyone on the call and we began to just confess who He is to us and how grateful we are for Him in and through our lives. I mean, where would we be without Him??!

We were so blessed by what GOD did tonight, I had to throw my little pre-planned agenda to the side and let Holy Spirit have His way! God's plans are far greater than any plan we could think up ourselves. He's an exceeding and abundant God! Then He began to just bless us with words of affirmation, promise and His power! It was Awesome!

Even after I got off the call, I kept thinking about what He shared with me about being in His presence. Then I had a quick vision of God inviting us into this beautiful house; His house. He was smiling so big when He opened the door! He welcomed us into this beautiful home. On the inside of His house there were so many beautifully wrapped gifts in there. We were overwhelmed once we got in there. His hand was out the whole time. There was one person that entered into the house and they went straight for the gifts, after the initial greeting with God, she went to the gifts and beginning grabbing as many as she could! She did not even look at God, then she began shoving them in her car until her car was overflowing. After this she backed out of the driveway and zoomed off with all these beautiful gifts!

There was another person who walked into God's house and she initially seemed to look at the gifts then quickly remembered whose house she was in. She then went back, took God's hand smiled with Him, then sat down and talked with Him and the gifts were laying all around them; but she focused on Him!

I wonder how many times, we have entered into the presence of the Lord, just to ask all of our requests and receive, receive, receive. Of course God will bless us, He has many gifts for us on earth and in heaven. But more than anything, once in His presence He desires intimacy and fellowship with Him. In that vision, those gifts did not go anywhere when she was spending time with the Lord, they were right there laying around waiting to be opened. But her priority was to spend time with Him and put Him first above all other things.

Let's make it a point to seek His face, before we seek His hand!

It starts in the heart!

Okay, so I know this is a praise and worship blog, but I have to be obedient to what the Lord has been placing on my heart. Praise and Worship is SO much more than an act, God desires us to live it! That's right, to live praise and worship. Hallelujah!

One of the ways we live it is to offer ourselves fully to Him. Romans 12:1 tells us to offer our bodies as living sacrifices Holy and acceptable unto Him for this is our spiritual act of worship! One of the ways that we offer our bodies unto Him is through purity before and after marriage. This goes for both guys and gals!

We see the work of the enemy daily. We know that he comes to kill steal and destroy! He wants to steal God's beautiful purpose for sex: for a husband and wife in marriage to enjoy the pleasure, joy and beauty of sex. But the enemy has perverted it, misconstrued it's original purpose and try to make it seem like something that is not as intimate as it is!

Oooohhh, but how my heart is filled with so much joy because nobody or nothing is greater than our God! He's raising up a remnant of men and women who will continue to stand for righteousness even though it is no longer the norm! HALLELUJAH! I believe that as we pray, teach and live our lives as a living sacrifice unto God; we will marriages restored, sexually active teens making a commitment to God of sexual purity and even the pornography and evil in the media and music loose it's power over our children, men and women!

We can no longer be passive, although it's comfortable but it's time for our children to be filled with the spirit of the true and living God. They need examples of men and women, who did things God's way and reaped the promises and rewards! Because you know, there are blessings to obedience. It starts in the heart! God's promises are true you know! He has blessed me to first hand see the RESULTS of many couples/marriages who did things God's way on their way to marriage and God rewarded them exceedingly and abundantly! I believe that He will do the same for you and me if we believe. He is not respecter of persons!

I love to see our children and youth praising and worshiping the Lord, but as we teach them to outwardly worship Him, we must teach them the importance of purity as well and how to trust God with their lives; in every area of their lives!

Let me share with you some precious promises God's word gives us for sexual holiness:

~ God promises that sexual holiness leads to abiding joy! Proverbs 5:18 "Rejoice in the wife of your youth". God's joy is not the same as pleasure. Pleasure flees pain, while joy transcends pain.

~ God promises that sexual holiness leads to genuine satisfaction touching all levels of sexual union. Proverbs 5:19 "Husbands who guard sexual purity in marriage will be satisfied. David testifies to this in Psalm 103:5

~ God promises that sexual Holiness is honorable. (1 Thess 4:4, Hebrews 13:4, 1 Corinthians 6:20).

~ God promises that sexual holiness leads to pure allure. It creates power to attract a marriage partner worth having! Song of Solomon 4:9, 4:12.


God bless you praisers and worshippers!!!

Stop and smell the Roses He give you!!!

There is a shirt that I had at one time, that I used to wear to lounge around in. It said: "Stop and smell the roses he gives you". I never thought much of it until I was out at lunch with a friend and she shared with me, what it meant to her when she saw it. She said, "Everyday God gives us beautiful roses, He loves us so much and does beautiful things for us daily because we are His children! The bible says He rejoices over us with singing (Zephaniah 3:17) ! WOW, What a love!

I wonder how many times we took for granted those beautiful roses He gives us daily by just passing by them and not acknowledging them or thinking that we wanted a different type of rose from what He has given us or comparing our bouquet to others. I know were times that I didn't show how thankful I was for the beautiful roses He's given me DAILY. 1 Thessalonians tells us to give thanks in all things, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus!

A rose could be anything that friend that's always there or that spouse who is faithful yet we don't appreciate them like we used to. A rose an annoying child that always wants our attention, a job that we are tired of being at. A rose can be anything!!!

Just because the rose or flowers He gives us may not look exactly like what we THOUGHT it would or should, He knows what we need, when we need it and why we need it. Let's make it a point to smell the beautiful roses in our lives that He gives us!!!

Single Season- There's a purpose in it! (P2)

Okay, so yesterday I shared some of my testimony and what I have learned through the years as being a single young woman. So, God has placed mentors and pastors, parents and friends that have been SUCH a blessing to me on the way and throughout this season. One thing is that this is not a death sentence or God is not trying to make us have a miserable life! No, no, no. He has a purpose in everything and He has a marvelous plan. This is just a chapter in the book. So let’s get into scripture right away!

Let’s start with the first marriage in the bible: Adam and Eve (1 man, 1 woman this is God’s design for marriage, no exceptions). When Almighty God created the heavens and the earth and everything in it, He spoke the world into existence and said it was “good”, until…..

Genesis 2:7 “the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being”.

So this clearly tells us that when God formed the man, he breathed HIS breath into the man which gave him life and the man became a living being. My brothers and sisters, this means we are LIVING in this season. We are not dead or in a dark box until marriage, but we are living because we have the breath of life in us that God himself has breathed!

Genesis 2:18 “The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone, I will make a helper suitable for him”.

Okay, so this is another scripture that has so many interpretations. God’s word does not have to be difficult. And this is not to say that if you are single that “you aren’t good” or anything like that. God formed us and knew everything about us, we were created to desire companionship and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that period!

Genesis 2:19-20 “Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.”

Okay, all of this happened BEFORE God put Adam into a deep sleep and made Eve from His rib. But it is after God says that it is not good for the man to be alone. God decided to make a helper suitable for Adam, because He did not want his child, His creation made in His image to be alone.
However, we notice that BEFORE God brought Adam and Eve together, He had some work for good ole Adam to do first! Adam had the assignment of naming all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. Now, ya’ll, I doubt very seriously this only took a day. Do you know how many animals of the field they are or birds of the air!!! Thousands, if not millions. I don’t know how many other than a lot! There was something God had for Adam to do before he became one with Eve.

So you know that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. And you know that His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts and as high as the heavens are so are His ways above our ways. And you also know that there is a SEASON for every for everything right. And you know that God really does make everything beautiful in His time! Could it possibly be, that the Lord has a purpose in your single season? Could it be that, in this season He has an assignment, a work for us today BEFORE we get married and become one with our mate? YES!

Romans 8: 28-30 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the first born among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

God has allowed me to cross so many paths with brothers and sisters who God has blessed exceedingly and abundantly and has fulfilled His faithful promise of a mate to them, what have they said they were doing when they met them? ..............Serving :-)

God has a plan and a purpose and an assignment for us now! And it’s not for us to sit around and wait for certain events in our lives to happen before we serve Him and work for Him! My brothers and my sisters, God has a marvelous plan for your life and He predestined you to do it! A specific task and as you seek Him, He will show you. His hand is already on your life. Don’t wait to walk in your purpose, serve God now. Ask Him for strength and joy and He will give it to you!!! He knows that everyday won’t be easy, just call out to Him, He will answer!

I know it's hard, I know that sometimes it appears to be to much for you and sometmes it seems unfair. But, God cares about you SO much. So much that He would allow us to experience tests that hurt sometimes, so that we can be shaped and molded into who we need to be to be used by Him. This way, when He fulfills His gracious promise to us we will be in position to receive. I believe it!

Part 3 is coming up!!!
