Wednesday, June 27, 2012 The title used is the result of watching Bishop Timothy Clark at the Potters House on Sunday, June 24, 2012. I Kings 15:16-22
I was compelled to go to the internet and watch last Sunday's sermon from Bishop T. D. Jakes and he Pottershouse. First the Praise and Worship Team Leader blew me away with his testimony of what happened to him on Father's Day after church at dinner. He shared how the doctors had just taken him off of steroids for a shoulder injury and unaware that his blood pressure dropped very low. He explained how he took his blood pressure medicine and the paramedics could hardly find a pulse. He told his wife how he "loved" her because he thought that he was about to leave this world. To GOD be the glory he was revived and shared how the devil thought he had him but GOD SAID NO!
I share his testimony because of my own near death experience related to blood pressure in November of 2007. For days I had a blood pressure of 256/190 and the doctors could not get it to come down. On about the forth day of this GOD asked me a question. "Who is your source, now?" Tears were rolling down my face and I replied, "It's you Lord, nobody but you!" The doctors were confused and drastically trying to get it down and with these type of numbers for that length of time, I should be a recovering STROKE patient. But GOD IS AMAZING! This event occurred shortly after sharing my story for the first time. The devil tried to kill me. I was not afraid to let people know what I had gone through any longer! FREED BY GOD!
However, the reason for this blog is to testify how it is IMPORTANT to remember that the word comes from GOD's annointed vessels and it was not Bishop Jakes today. Often times I am in discussions with people that disagree with hearing another minister if the Pastor is not preaching. Why would you do that, first of all? Secondly, do you not believe that GOD can send a word through anyone HE chooses?
Upon realizing that it was not Bishop Jakes I sat back and waited for Bishop Clark to get started. He directed those of us watching at home to get your bible and come with him to I Kings 15: 16-22. He proceeded to read the scriptures and then he gave his title: "USE WHAT WAS USED AGAINST YOU!" HALLELUJAH! My spirit leaped and I knew this was going to be a word straight from heaven for me.
There were points that really stood out in his message regarding our history and everyone has history. The enemy can often try to use your history to discourage, stir fear, doubtfulness, and anxiety about some things that GOD has told you to do. There are things that happens in our life that cause pain, disappointment, disbelief and disheartened. However, those very things can be used for the kingdom and bless someone else to be delivered from bondage. History tells us who we are, where you have come from, and what you have been THROUGH! The blessing is in looking back to who you were, where you came from and what GOD has DELIVERED YOU FROM!
We must never deny our history because it is OUR story. There are those of us who have gone through some painful things and wonder why did GOD allow them to happen to us, for me I was quickly corrected and told that what I went through was not about ME! Ouch! By the way.....hear what thus saith the LORD and not the man! Amen If I had turned away from the sermon I would have missed an incredible word of ENCOURAGEMENT!
When I went through my experience of domestic violence it really hurt me because I felt that it should not have happened to me. I was really in a good place with my relationship with GOD and trying to live a good life. However, the relationship I was in was not of GOD......hhhmmmm. However, in my place of brokenness and repentance GOD said to me that it was not about me. It gave me a totally different perspective of why I had the experience. Today, out of that pain is Angels In Distress, Inc. "Transition from Domestic Violence" designed to bring awareness and prevention of domestic abuse and violence. I never in my wildest dreams would have seen me as a Radio Host having weekly shows on domestic abuse and violence taking awareness and prevention around the WORLD! GOD has allowed me to speak on Perspectives TV about domestic violence with Dr. Rondrick Williamson. I think about how I was trying to get on television shows in the metropolitan Atlanta area and no response, GOD takes me to Middle Georgia and what a blessing.
Certified Domestic Instructor, Motivational Speaker, Counselor and Encourager these are the talents I have that GOD has given to go into the community and the world and bring awareness of a potential abuser whether they are male or female. My charge is to help somebody, anybody identify the "red flags" and prevent on the front side awareness that will protect one from an abuser and/or abusive relationship.
There are so many people walking around daily asking, "how did I get here?" What could I have done differently to avoid this abuse? Pay attention to your "spirit" man it will talk to you not always in LOUD revelations but sometimes a small still voice, or the touch of someone else and your soul shudders to their touch. This is telling you to RUN, RUN, RUN! It is not safe!
I am a survivor of domestic violence and will use what happened to me to help someone AVOID it happening to them. Thus the relevance: "Use What Was Used Against You!"
May GOD bless each and every person that read this blog. If you have gone through some type of trauma use it, to help someone else....it will BLESS YOU!

Blessings In Playing With BUBBLES
Wednesday, June 27, 2012
I am sitting here working and really making some progress and feel good in he "MOVEMENT" and this overwhelming feeling comes over me to go outside and play with my bubbles. For those of you who do not know, this is a stress REDUCER for me!
I pick up my wand and go outside around my butterfly bush and begin to play with the bubbles, not five minutes pass and a huge BEAUTIFUL butterfly fly by and goes high into the trees behind my house, really high up. An incredible golden yellow and black tip wings. I acknowledge it verbally as I always do when they come to me.
As I am looking up I hear GOD say: "You will never crawl again!" OOOOWWWWWEEEEEEEEE! Tears began to flow, and then as I continue to twirl and play with my bubbles a second confirmation come as this one particular (rainbow) bubble make it up past where I saw the butterfly land.
I hear GOD say: "MY PROMISES TO YOU!" I'm done can't see for tears of GRATEFULNESS!!
OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE ANY DAY! When you hear the quiet voice....MOVE! DOUBLY BLESSED I AM and that is not all. Look out for the blog coming about today as well.

PSALMS 91:11 OBEDIENCE IS KEY.....
Today, began as a day of "expectation" what I did not know, nor did it matter because the result of being obedient was the result. The day started with a couple of things on the "TTDL" and I was pretty focused about them. First on list completed, second on list came with some challenge. An appointment was set to speak with a young lady to talk about and advise of the radio show process.
I am a stickler for tardiness and called in to the conference line five minutes before and of course, I was the first on the line and the anticipation of the other caller for this meeting to chime in. After fifteen minutes I fell back to the old college days rules....if the professor isn't in class in fifteen minutes, LEAVE.
The telephone number was called again and this time the first attendee on the line, and I am holding and holding and a little voice tells me to check the access code....I did not dial enough numbers. Quickly, I hung up and called back in and this time dialed six digits and the wrong number again, seriously wondering by now what is going on? However, the correct number was called and still there was no one there...quickly the enemy wanted to plant negativity and tell me to forget the call. No, this is not how I operate....obviously this is a connection that need to be made.
The assistant is called and advised that there was no one on the line, they apologize and called right back and advised me to call back in. Perseverance paid off and a young lady is on the line shortly and what was to be a short meeting turned into a day of ministry, back and forth acknowledging GOD's goodness, guidance, direction and more importantly being obedient to the HOLY SPIRIT! There were so many confirmations, revelations, adorations, and elevations, it was amazing. That's the first part of the day a short brief break needed to be taken and the conversation resumed. Several of you know that I often acknowledge how AMAZING GOD IS!
Today, to share with someone that had some of the same experiences was encouraging and relief to know that when GOD gives you an assignment to do...that the enemy is NOT happy if you are really doing what you need to carry it forth into the world. There are sometimes many distractions, obstacles, hurdles and trials but through it all GOD IS FAITHFUL! Someone who knew exactly what your "spirit" needed was incredible, grateful tears, shouts of joy, screams of confirmation, more tears of confirmation, more praises to GOD and HUMBLENESS.
When GOD gives you something to do...there may be others that try to simulate what you are doing....remember one thing. GOD did not give them YOUR VISION. HE gave it to you and you will carry out HIS will in the land, not the imitation. It does not matter how odd, weird, ridiculous, mysterious it seem "just do it!"
DIVINE CONNECTIONS are being made in the land right now and OBEDIENCE is going to be the main factor for those whom GOD has CALLED to do HIS WILL!
Psalms 91:11 is a very special scripture that GOD gave me that HE has assigned "special" angels to me and by any means necessary HE will get them to me to hear HIS directions, guidance and leading for my assignment. Another scripture HE always brings to me is Jeremiah 29:11 to confirm that it is HIM speaking and Isaiah 40:31. All of those came up earlier today and brought tears of joy to know that my child it is your GOD speaking through the special assigned angel to you today.
Please still yourself to hear the voice of GOD sometimes it is very quiet and you can not hear it with a lot of NOISE! It is required sometimes that we are placed in a place of "BE STILL" by HIM to get a message of importance to us. It is very important to be careful how you treat strangers....they can be an "ANGEL!"
Thank you Father GOD for Danielle....continue to bless her above and beyond her wildest dreams. I know for a fact that she handled her assignment concerning me today, and with love. The conference call was used to connect us but the call was MUCH more than what we thought it was to be. WHAT A BLESSING!
Details, will be in my book so.....stay tuned. It is going to BLOW YOUR MIND! GOD IS AMAZING!

JUST LOOK UP!
I am writing today about a "soft" voice that kept telling me to "look up!" These moments come now and it is a blessing to me to be able to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit speak softly to me. You must understand there was a time when HE had to SHOUT at me! However, my spiritual relationship is closer and my ears are clearer to hear.
As I remained focused to hear and continue to look UP. The canopy of the trees were beautiful to me today at my place of serenity! Also the clouds were just beautiful, there were no special messages in formations for me today, just beautiful white clouds. I said to "Sunshine" I do not know why HE has me looking up but HE does....I am glad I was obedient. An answered prayer was waiting on me when I returned home. The day was filled with unexpected blessings.
STOP, LOOK, and LISTEN to that still soft voice...that will SPEAK VOLUMES to you. It will be a blessing. Below is another confirmation of my obedience today and what a blessing it is. My prayer is that it will bless you as well.
A friend of mine sent an email that talked about the buzzard, bat and bumble bee.
I. The buzzard if placed in a 6x8 pen despite it's ability to fly will be an absolute prisoner. The reason a buzzard needs to have a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without this space to run as is it's habit, it will not even attempt to fly. Although the space is completely opened at the top. Sadly, it will remain a prisoner for life and a small jail with no top.
2. The ordinary bat a remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle around helplessly and no doubt painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then at once it takes off likea "flash!"
3. The bumble bee, if dropped into an empty open tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persist to find some way out through the sides at the bottom. It will seek a way out where non exist until it completely destroys itself.
4. PEOPLE in many ways we are like the buzzard, the bat and the bumble bee. We struggle about with all of our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look UP. That's the ANSWER the escape route and the solution to any problem....JUST LOOK UP!
It is really hard to see solutions when you are LOOKING so DEEPLY into the PROBLEMS!
'JUST LOOK UP!"
