again

How many times have you had to start again? I want to remind you that it is never too late; you are never too old to start again. Know that we are all still figuring things out. We all want answers fast, but easy comes easy goes. The Lord Jesus is teaching us so we do not continue to be delayed, YES delayed. During the season of wanting fast answers, the Lord Jesus teaches us to grow, we are being stretched, and these become seasons that we never forget. This is where maturity becomes visible in us.

In the last three years of my walk with the Lord Jesus, I have learned so much; however, not many answers were provided to me fast enough to understand the journey (at that moment). I had to seek and little by little answers came “not fast” slowly, step by step I learned, and still learning.  I understood that lonely days or nights were not lonely they were alone time for me to reflect and seek God. Pain and suffering were allowed for a purpose, some of them being my growth and expansion.  The Lord is preparing us for much bigger and better; however, he wants to ensure we have the capacity to contain what He is planning for us to receive, we cannot be hollow. Through this season faith ignites.

When we are obedient, keep our faith in Him, and wait for His guidance even though it might not be within our timing, the Lord is saving us, He is protecting us. I want you to also know that as I write this the Lord is speaking to me directly as well. There is no time wasted, there are no coincidences with God. All is perfectly calculated.  If you are in Him and Him in you.

When testing periods come and I believe in my soul that I did not just try but did the best that I could, I always say “I have fought the good fight, I have kept the faith, I have finished my part, the rest on you Lord” (2 Timothy 4:7).  Even when I believe I did not pass tests as I should have, I still have the opportunity to run to Him to His throne of grace, (Hebrews 4:16) because we all need more grace right? It is a win with God always.

Friends it is okay to start again, it is ok to keep doing. Keep going and shake off the one thing that has been hard for you to let go of again and again.

Let us pray: My Father and my God, may we learn to never give up, may we learn to stay on the narrow path that although answers may not come fast we know it leads to you,  we know we can stand on your promises for you never fail. If we fail you fail, you did not bring us this far to fail. We ask that you glorify yourself in us so that we may shout to the world who you are and what you have done for us. Father you get the glory; we honor you we exalt you, thank you for hearing us always, thank you for strength and wisdom. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray – Teleo! Hebrews 13:5-6 (MSG)

5-6 Don’t be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, “I’ll never let you down, never walk off and leave you,” we can boldly quote:

God is there, ready to help;
I’m fearless no matter what.
Who or what can get to me?

the Lord answers

We had two dogs Romeo and Rocko, and they both passed within months apart from each other, those days were sad for all of us. Fast forward a few months, and my husband brought a new female German Shepherd home, I want to tell you this beautiful story because nothing is a coincidence with God.

My husband missed having a dog around the house, so he started looking to buy one; however, they were too expensive, so he decided to look at adoption shelters. He was doing all of this secretly. While he did this, I was praying to the lord for renewal of my strength, like the eagle lord I said renew my strength, the daily routine, having a full-time job and all to do with life is draining. Well one day he happened to just show up with Juliet, that is what my husband named her. I adapted. 

My husband shared the story of how he got her. He got home looked at the pictures in the shelters and saw her. He said to himself, am I doing this again, getting another dog? A lot was going through his head. He went to one location but she was not there, he had to drive to a farther location and there he found her. He said I named her Juliet because we had Romeo here already, cute I said. 

I looked up the definition of Juliet’s name, it means “youthful”, and I began to laugh aloud Lord? This is you answering me!  You are giving me my youth back by having Juliet! Little by little, she grew into my heart. She came with some issues she was sick, traumatized, scared, and not eating. I thought even Juliet had to be separated for a period of her life to end up in our home. She endured living at a shelter, dirty and sick. This happened to be a kill shelter, so after a few weeks I presume she would have been put to death; however, she was given to us for free, with no taxes, chipped, spayed, and shots. We took her to the vet got her medicine and she began to live, eat, gain weight, and be happy. She is lovable and so thankful to be living with us. 

Are you wondering how this is an answered prayer? Pets are God’s creatures, they give us comfort, give us unconditional love, and they push us to care for them which makes us move around. See that is what I needed to start doing, moving around; breathing the air outside while walking her. She brings this peace to my husband and me. She is an inside dog as well, something we have never done. Through Juliet, the Lord said I am giving you your youth back, are you going to take it and run with it, are you going to do your part? 

The Lord is constantly asking us to evolve, adapt, and move. We need to keep shifting our lives to grow and stretch our capacity. During seasons in our lives, we ask for things and we picture the answers differently, the Lord is a Spirit and He will answer us according to His will for our lives. Accept the answers and run with it, do not delay the process of where you are going because the answers do not seem how you envisioned them. Trust God and the journey He is taking you through. Keep moving even if you do not understand it, keep marching forward, open your spiritual eyes to see the answers, and be vigilant to the many ways the Lord communicates. Learn, listen, pay attention, go to church, listen to the word of God, praise Him, and worship Him. DO YOUR PART TRUST HE WILL DO THE REST! 

Isaiah 40:31

But those who wait on the Lord

Shall renew their strength;

They shall mount up with wings like eagles,

They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint.

Let us pray, my father and my God thank you for opening our eyes to capture the many ways you speak to us, thank you for answering our prayers, thank you for hearing us and always hearing us. Today Lord I pray that anyone reading this increases and evolves with you, may you give them supernatural strength to shift as fast as you command us to shift. Whatever you command of us may we keep marching forward. I release more grace and light into their lives, in the mighty matchless name of Jesus I have prayed. A M E N!

eVIDENCE march 2024

Evidence is clear confirmation, it is a testimony, and it is someone who bears witness.

What are you the evidence of?

Was there someone that prayed for you to be where you are today?

Are you a walking testimony? Are you the evidence of someone’s prayer?

What has the Lord pulled you out from?

What has the Lord changed in your life?

Someone had crazy faith that believed in his or her heart that one day you would be where you are today. You are the evidence of what our God can do in our lives.

The Lord might have allowed you to go through certain situations for you to be the evidence of His perfect love and mercy.

I remember during my 20s the countless mistakes I made. I put myself in so many situations that could have killed me; literally, me trying not to be part of this world (intentionally) BUT GOD pulled me out every single time - why? I did not understand.

I now understand I was created for such times as this.

I learned through the teachings and by the hearing of the revelations from my spiritual father Prophet Lovy that one of the reasons that I am here was for me to be the evidence of who God is now in my life. I am not my past. His love covered a multitude of my sins.

Nothing is a surprise to God, He knew where and when we were going to fall short. He knows our current weakness to this day, and He still loves us so much!

We are the evidence of His existence, we are the confirmation of how real and tangible He is. We ought to speak of His goodness.

During this holy week, let us remember that Jesus many centuries ago was the evidence of our Father God’s love for us. We are here because Jesus decided to die for us.

When are you doing to share this great news with others?

The Lord has changed my life; I will never be the same again. The Lord is touching my family. The desires of this world are nonexistent in my life. The peace that I have no one can take from me.

Let us pray: Father in the name of Jesus reveal yourself to the person reading this, Lord touch their lives, touch their families, touch their situations, show up in their lives so that they can never turn from you or be the same as yesterday. Grow and inspire a desire to know you more. Let their lives be evidence of who you are and may their testimony reach many for your glory, in the mighty powerful name of Jesus I have prayed, amen.

Hebrews 11:1

11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Is there anything impossible for God?

I have been praying to God for order because I know God is a God of order. Well, I was not expecting order to come with chaos. January 2024 came in fast, up and down just like a roller coaster. He said, “Chaos brings order”. I said I did not want chaos Lord, He said “Chaos brings order”.

The Lord comes to expose what needs fixing. When we are in Christ the lies of the enemy shall not prevail because Jesus is the truth, the way, and the life (John 14:6). So, friends when things get tough or a situation comes out of nowhere, remember; what are you praying for, what have you been asking the Lord, because He will answer not always exactly how we want Him to answer but He will answer.

I remember how broken all felt not only physically but I was broken inside, my heart. I believe this was not just brokenness it was crushing, I felt physical pain, it hurt too much. I might have tried to say this situation is hopeless or I feel hopeless but the Lord quickly corrected me “You cannot be hopeless” I finished the sentence because you are my hope, Lord. I repented, then little by little His strength started to fill me again. I knew I had to keep standing, I knew I had to keep marching forward. I cannot control everything but we all know we still try, especially us moms it is in our human nature to try to fix things and situations in our homes. It is automatic we do not think we just act. Well, that is exactly what the Lord taught me this past month. When we have run out of our doing, our trying, our strength, when we cannot keep going, we allow Him to step in and take control. I sometimes wonder if God rolls his eyes saying finally!

As the weeks progressed in January 2024, the Lord said “Is there anything impossible for me” I answered no Lord nothing is impossible for you. Friends you cannot lose hope if Christ is in you, it is impossible.

When we are weak, He is strong! My prayer for you is to remember to seek God during all phases of your journey, so when crushing comes in our lives (because it will come) you find all you need for that season in Jesus. Fill yourself with his word and read the bible audibly. Listen to yourself reading it, light enters you, and you will remain standing when darkness comes.

Thy word is a lamp into my feet and a light to my path

Psalm 119:105

Father in the name of Jesus today I pray that you remind your children when crushing comes that you are shaping us, squeezing oil out of us, and bringing out the beautiful gold vessels you have called us to be. I pray that you talk to them and encourage them as they read this just the same way you have done for me. You are able for nothing is impossible for you. You are a God of miracles but more importantly, you are the God of covenants and breakthroughs. Thank you, Lord, for remembering us and loving us despite of our errors and mistakes, I have prayed this in the mighty and powerful name of J E S U S!

As we celebrate Christmas the Lord brought to remembrance my childhood in Nicaragua.

While I had a roof over my head, food and a bed to sleep in. I did not have hot water; I did not have new things often, in fact, I was only able to wear new clothes for my birthday and Christmas (sometimes).  I only ate meat on Sundays if my mom was able to afford to buy it. During Christmas, my mom would cook stuffed chicken, the stuffing were potatoes and other veggies.

During Christmas, my neighborhood friends and I would practice in our backyard singing Christmas Carols; we would find homes that had a nativity set and head out on Christmas Eve to sing. We would make our tambourines out of bottle caps, smashed them until they were flat, put a hole in the middle then put them all through a thick wire that we would hold in our hands, and those were our tambourines. We dressed as shepherds with as much or little that we could find at our homes. These were very special memories that I hold dear to my heart.

As I reflect on these memories, I think how far the lord had brought me. When I was a child, I had no idea where I would end up in life, what I would eat or wear. That is how the lord wants to be as a child, trusting Him with all. We do not need to dwell on what we cannot control. Yet I know we might still do.

Matthew 6:25 reminds us - Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes?

How would you know this if no one ever told you? We have to seek Him, listen, read the bible, and listen some more. Romans 10:17 says – So faith comes from hearing and hearing through the word of Christ.  Our faith will increase when certain revelations of His word are being explained to us by the servants He has called to be teachers, pastors, prophets, apostles.

Have you reflected lately on what the Lord has done for you from your childhood to now? Not going too far, think about this year 2023, what did you fail to accomplish or what did you start and were able to finish? We will realize that certain things we never did on our own. Did you give Him the credit that He is due, did you acknowledge Him for taking you out of that situation alive, safe, hopeful and fruitful?

Let’s pray: Father God, thank you for where you brought us out of. Thank you for this Christmas that we get to build new memories with our loved ones, remind us that is not about physical gifts but about the gift you gave us in Jesus. We want to get closer to you and understand you a little bit more each day. We bless your Holy name; we give you all the glory and the honor. In the name of Jesus, we pray.

For to us is born unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulders, and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

a fathers love . . .

While praying this morning the Lord brought to memory something. When our children make mistakes or we get upset at them for not learning form their past mistakes or listening to our advice, it upsets us. As parents, when we see the outcome of their errors, we get sad because they got hurt along the way. It was like a spark of light lit up quick in my head; a switched went on/off.  The Lord said that is how I feel when you my children do not listen to me noticed how you loved on your son/daughter, hugged them, cried for them, and cared so much to put him on the right path, no questions asked, no pointing fingers just love on them?  I said yes Lord; well that is how I am with you and all the rest of my children, I love you, I guide, put your back together, and off you go again.

Our father God keeps no record of wrongdoing.  Our children hurt because of their mistakes that caused hurt, hardship and pain (physical and spiritually). When we ask for forgiveness and truly repent, He keeps no records. Our errors and mistakes he forgets about, Isaiah 43:25.  You get to start fresh with Him each day. I am so thankful that we serve a God that gives us opportunities. When we fall, we can keep getting back up until we get it right, Proverbs 24: 16.

Our father God is love, mighty to forgive, mighty to cover us and protect us. His love covers a multitude of sins, I Peter 4:8. Because JESUS IS LOVE.

During this thanksgiving season, be thankful for all He brought you out of this year. All you have successfully achieved and conquer, and for all you did not. He will allow us to try again until we pass. As my spiritual father, Prophet Lovy Elias explains, “you cannot skip a grade with God, you will have to pass to elevate/graduate”. Therefore, friends and family pass the test and always seek Him with a grateful and thankful heart. Ask for forgiveness often because we fall daily. He sees our hearts. He sees our intensions. We cannot hide anything from Him. 

Let’s pray: Father in the name of Jesus I thank you for this opportunity you provided to share some of the experiences I have encountered with you. I pray for more encounters and more visitations not just for me for your children that have connected to one or more blogs in this journey of my experiences with you. I pray that it brings encouragement to some of your children; I pray that through my mistakes I am able to glorify your name and help others. I know you are the creator and author of our faith so Lord please increase our faith, because without it we cannot please you. We love you lord and thank you for our family and memories that we will make this November 2023, all of this I prayed in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus.

Psalm 95: 1-5

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the Lord is the great God, and the great King above all gods.

when standing is hard……

October 2023 Blog

The month of August was tough; the month of September was even harder. I lived in spirit and flesh exactly what my spiritual father prophet Lovy Elias explained; “when you pray and say Lord, remember me and give me strength”; it marks the season when you have given up trying on your own.  

In August, when I faced the uncertainty, I felt it in my spirit earlier in the morning before I was aware; I cried in pain, and it hurt. In September, I felt my body and the impact before I crashed, weeks in advance. I did not understand what was happening, but as the children of God, we have insight and foresight.

I have always been that person who finds solutions for everything, my family knows and says, “Mom will know how to fix this” They would even refer people to me. However, what happens when the person they run to for help is not capable of helping? My physical strength was gone, my head was cloudy, and the blow was hard.

What kept me standing? God

What kept me going? God

Whom did I run to when nothing made sense? God

Worship was the only thing I was able to find comfort in, my family needed me standing, and I needed Jesus to keep me standing. My body hurt, and my head was foggy. My sisters in Christ's prayers encouraged me. Nothing made sense but I knew God was the author and creator of my faith. The worship song’s lyrics were exactly what I needed to say when I could not pray.

Little by little, strategies came, answers came, and I kept going, I kept working, I kept responding, I kept praying, I just kept going. I knew that I knew that my Father God would not fail me. I knew that even if my flesh failed me He never would. I knew then as I know now that there is a light inside of me that never stopped shining, a light that never stopped burning. The fire inside of me kept on burning reminding me: I am here, you are not alone, I hear you, I see you, I know, I get it.

My sisters in Christ would check on me at the right moment, at the perfect time to see how I was doing. Those were answers I needed to see because that is how our father was answering. They were being obedient to our Father in heaven, by just checking on me, God sees us and hears us.

Things are not where they need to be. It might take longer for what I want to come to pass, I know God has all the answers. The vision is clear, I see why some things needed to happen. I know that my plans are not His plans. I know His plans for me are to prosper me and never to hurt me. I hold on with all I can to what He has announced and promised me. My family belongs to Him; all that has to do with me will be worked out for my good. I give Him glory because He knows me better than I know myself. 

2 Corinthians 4:8-10 NIV

8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

Let’s pray - Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus I speak life into dead circumstances in our lives, we understand that these things had to happen for you to be glorified, so Lord glorify yourself. Lord, you have said vengeance is yours, let me laugh with you again and again Lord. Bring your joy into my life because you joy is my strength. I pray that anyone reading this finds encouragement and begins to see clear, let them have strategies, let receive fast answers as you have done for me do for them. In the mighty powerful name of Jesus I pray AMEN! 

For God’s glory!

Often times we are consumed with troubles, worries, stress, anxiety. We find ourselves unable to pray, we cannot see clear. During these times, those “bank” prayers you have done in the past will speak for you, however, have you prayed before these difficult times came?.

Do you have sisters in Christ that you pray with or encourage each other? Do you have a church that you attend regularly? If you do not have support around you, it will be extremely hard to keep standing. We the children of God are not meant to stand-alone. We do not suffer as the rest of the world does when troubles comes our way.  We encourage each other we pray for each other. We know that our father God is stronger and we are confident that whatever He has allowed in our lives is for our edification. We have hope not like the world does but knowing that our father the creator of heaven and earth is our refuge, our hiding place, the rock on which we stand, we keep walking forward.

Even if we do not understand why something hurts, why certain things had to happen, we remain steady in His word that will forever prevail. To get here we got to search, ask, and want to spend time with our father God. Our faith increases by hearing and hearing the word of God not just reading. Listening and renewing our minds by the transformation of the revelation of His word. We might not understand the bible so we look for servants of the Lord to guide us, not all of us are meant to be pastors, some of us are meant to be intercessors. We all have an assignment to do in the Kingdom of God.

I am here today to ask you to seek the Lord before difficult days come, build yourself to be ready because when a blessing is about to be release the blow might hit us first but you need to remain steady. When we have built our lives up the hard moments, this is when our minds, our thoughts are transformed and we remember the Lord said: He will never leave me not forsake me, He said He will work it out for my good because I love him and I have a purpose, He said that I am His, He said that I am the head and not the tail, He said that even though weapon was formed against me it shall not prevail.

Let’s pray: Father God in the name of Jesus, I lift every one of your children reading this blog during August 2023, some of us might had some really difficult times, some of us are still struggling but our hope is in you alone Oh Lord. Help us, deliver us, show us the way, give us eyes to see and ears to hear. Push us into our destiny; cause us to be at the right place at the right time. Send divine assistance our way. We thank you father for we know that your love and grace is sufficient. In the might name of Jesus we pray.

Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV)“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

Remain steady

While in the middle of chaos have you ever experienced unexplainable peace? Or quite the opposite have you felt like you have been pushed to the edge and when facing that edge, you got only two options jump and give up or raise your hands and suddenly truly surrender. Or have you ever felt like suddenly you need to make a decision about something you know you have prayed for, it could be a job decision, or starting college at 43+ years old. This process might feel hard and emotionally draining but let me tell you is the beginning of a beautiful journey when you trust the Lord to guide you.

Giving up on what we think we know and letting God take over is one of the best decisions you can ever take. I wish I could have taken that decision sooner, not at 45.  I gave up on all and told the Lord I am done with what this world offers, I don’t understand what is happening, I just know I need you and cannot do this alone. I was sincere and broken.

Through this walk with the Lord, I have experienced a lot of beautiful encounters; however, not all have been pretty rainbows and flowers, sometimes there have been thorns with tears; but I remember His announcements and promises to me and that helps me to remain steady. I finally understood that no matter where I am or where I am going in my journey with the Lord, He can still use me at whatever age in my life. It is a beautiful thing to be able to say “it’s what it is”.

The Lord Jesus said in John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart I have overcome the world.” As I write this, I am not only encouraging you I am encouraging myself. Our prayers were answer before we opened our mouths, we just did not hear or liked the response. We got to trust that He knows what is best for us. I am writing to encourage you to keep going, remain steady, remain standing, even if you got to get to Him crawling, bruised and broken, believe and have faith that He will put you back together. He is not a God that fails, if we fail, He fails and we do not serve a God that fails. He is the same one yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever more. The same God that opened up the sea, is the same God we see healing and delivering at Revelation Church, my church.

Let’s pray: Father in the name of Jesus give us your strength to keep going, help us your children and give us supernatural strength to keep standing. Remind whoever is reading this like you have reminded me that you will never ever ever leave them nor forsake them, speak to them, visit them oh Lord, let them experience something new today Lord, for your honor and your glory, may you be lifted today, in the might powerful name of Jesus I have prayed.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”—Joshua 1:9,

Are you still standing?

I want to encourage you during this June 2023 blog. I have seen the goodness of the Lord, despite of how I was standing because the Lord is merciful, graceful and faithful. Do not ever doubt in whatever process you are with Him because He will meet you where you are, as long as you have surrendered your life to Jesus and maintained a relationship with Him. He will make it all work out for your good. The path you chose might not be the path He chose for you but because you have surrendered your life to His will, He will see you through it.

I visited my daughter for her college graduation in S. Carolina. Her graduation was amazing. When I was preparing to return home, a few things were not looking good. My second flight was cancelled; I was stranded in Minnesota overnight. There were no fights to LAX until the next day. I had to figure out my next move I contacted my daughter, she was on route back home to Minnesota, I was able to Uber myself back to her place, she has a locked location for a key so I was able to get in her house. While in her house, I was talking to the Lord asking what is happening why can I find rest, what are you saving me from? Sometimes we don’t understand and we might feel that  the Lord is silent, know He is never silent, He is working behind the scene, what is important is how you are standing while times of uncertainty are happening, are you upset, are you seeking Him for answers, are you bitter, are you prayerful?.  Normally I have a subscription for you-tube to listen to worship songs but my card was hacked, I tried updating but it was impossible, weird I thought. My daughter tried helping me we called Apple - nothing. I chose to say it is what it is, I laughed a little, Lord, you know my situation I trust you Lord. I read the bible aloud and got a couple of hours of sleep.

Arriving to LAX, right when the wheels hit the ground, I received a FaceTime from my son’s girlfriend. I said to myself, let me answer and tell her I will call her back. When I answered, I saw someone’s face telling me ssssshhhh quiet with her hand in her mouth, she then pointed to the image of my son and his girlfriend getting married! I immediately started crying in the plane like a crazy person. I watched them say their I DO’s and finally closed my phone. People around were wondering what was happening, I said my son got married and it is an answered prayer, a young lady behind me said PRAISE GOD, indeed PRAISE GOD!

When we remain standing even if we do not understand the circumstances, we are saying we trust you Lord, you are bigger than this, and you are stronger Lord, I will pray or sing and keep doing it until you reveal to me what is your will for my life at this moment. I strongly believe that if I did not have a good attitude, and allowed my heart to get angry, I might have not witnessed this huge blessing of an answered prayer. 

Do you want a prayer answer? Seek Him and you shall find Him, keep on knocking He will open. Do not take for granted moments of uncertainty for they are opportunities for advancement in your life.   Remain steady on your walk with the Lord, He will reward you! 

Let us pray: Heavenly father reveal your will for our lives, gives us eyes to see and ears to hear. Give us your strength Lord to remain standing no matter what comes our way. We thank you in advance for answered prayers for you are faithful; we love you, Lord; in the mighty powerful name of Jesus, we have prayed – AMEN!

Isaiah 65:24
“It shall also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear”.

Be alert and of sober mind

We have all said it at some point in our lives “how do Christians say they can hear God?”. I can tell you how I started to hear God.

I started attending Revelation Church on July 2021 on a consistent basis, Thursdays and Sundays. All the sermons from my spiritual father Prophet Lovy were opening my eyes, they were filling a void inside of me, they were lifting me up. All my questions were being answered each time I was present at church. I was learning about deliverances, and healing. All teachings were (are) based on bible scriptures, explanations were being done word by word, sentence by sentence. I thought to myself, I know I have heard all of this before but never explained this precisely.  I would repeat prayers, I would cry at church and it was okay because I was not the only one. I finally heard people speaking in tongues. You see I was baptized with the gift of tongues decades ago at my sister’s house but never continued to developed this gift, it was stagnant. I was overwhelmed but in a good way. My son was right by my side experiencing all of this, learning and being fed. I was hungry and thirsty and I felt full after each service ended. I would look forward for the following Thursday and Sunday services.

During this season I understood I needed to surrender burdens I had been carrying for decades, but how I thought, there must be a special way of doing this? No, it was simple just speaking it out, saying Lord I surrender “this and that” you know my heart, you know what still hurts, you know what my struggles are, you know what I have done I am sorry Lord forgive me I return to you, I am all in. I did not understand much, I did not even know how to pray. There were no magic or fireworks but my words were sincere.  For weeks to follow I started waking up with people’s names in my mind, people that I might have held grudges with. I understood I needed to forgive them for hurting me. I began to take prayer seriously; I understood how important prayer was. I began to get up earlier to talk to God. Spending time with God made me learn how He is a spirit and not human; therefore, I could not expect him to communicate like we do. God can communicate how He wants to; however, understanding that His ways are not our ways made complete sense. Hearing about God more and more help my faith to grow.

You will hear God in dreams, by your spirit, by a thought or word that you might speak out of nowhere. A woman or man of God might speak the word that you will connect to, this word will become part of who you are, you will find strength you thought you never had. God might just simply call you by your first name, I thought I was going crazy one day when He whispered “Diana do not be afraid for I am with you”.  One important piece of information is that the Lord will always speak to you based on His word, scriptures. Do not be deceived, be alert, and of sober mind.

Let’s pray: Heavenly father, as your children read this, may they find you Jesus in every area of their lives. I pray that you reveal yourself in a tangible way, and may the frequency of the sound of your voice be carried by your angelic beings directly into their ears, in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus I pray – Amen!

I Peter 5:8

8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

When i received my firsts words from god….

   I used to help at my old church, they had a lot of activities for children. My daughter used to sing and dance for the kids acting/choir. During one of the events at church while they sang “I’ll never leave you nor forsake you”, these words entered me cutting something within me. I cried but quickly hid it because that was not something we did at church.  I didn’t understand what this feeling was, I kept hearing the same words throughout the performance even though they were not singing those exact words. I kept hearing inside of me “I will never leave you nor forsake you”. I thought to myself either I am going crazy or I am just full of emotions.

Ever since that day I understand now that LIGHT entered me. I pulled from the light what I was able to capture, for that moment and for that season in my life.  You see God knows where we are, He knows every detail of our lives, He knows the number of hairs in our heads, and also knows our deepest desires.  He is a gentleman waits on you to decide to move closer to Him, and if we are positioned right and receive what He gives us, He will draw closer to us as we decide to draw closer to him.

That season passed I did not get it, I still wondered and conformed to the patterns of this world. It was not my time yet. BUT GOD is so merciful, 10 years can be like a blink of eye for Him. I always knew there was something that my capacity was not capturing.

So, friends as I write from my experiences with God, do not waste time, do not miss assignments, do not miss opportunities, do not miss time wondering around, look to Him. Catch the revelation!

Father God, I pray that as your children read this short reminder from my experiences with you, you fill them with revelation and manifestations of who they are in you. Do not let them continue to waste time like I did Lord. Heavenly Father, provide them divine assistance in every walk in their lives, I pray that they have eyes to see sooner than I did. Surround them with your love oh Lord, in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus I pray – AMEN!

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”  Hebrews 13:5

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6

Have you ever?

Have you ever been in a season of your life where you don’t see a way out? Have you fallen into the trap of the enemy when he tells you, you don’t need to exist anymore and you have even audibly expressed it? I have, a couple of decades ago I was so down that while I drove to work, I said it and suddenly I lost control of the car as if someone took the steering wheel. I was in the middle of the freeway with oncoming traffic my car was going fast and straight to the wall. The cars that were on the freeway suddenly disappeared and it was only me in my car. Our heavenly father stopped my car right before it hit the wall. It took me a little bit to understand what happened and took me longer to share it with anyone. I was shaken up, and quickly said I am sorry Lord, and thank you for saving me. 

Sometimes this world gets hard, sometimes we want to give up, and sometimes we say things we should not ever say; however, I am here to remind you that He created you with a purpose. What is your purpose you may ask? Well, we all have one, how you get to find your purpose is by looking for Him, surrendering all to Him, forgiving others including yourself, and spending time with Him. When you face difficult times, I am going to ask you to look for worship songs and sing your heart out. Command your heart to bless the Lord. Do not get caught up in feeling sorry for yourself or becoming a victim of your emotions. We serve an almighty sovereign powerful God. God is always working behind the scenes. If I found a way out you will too. 

When the hand of the Lord is upon us when He has called us when He has marked us, even though we might try to self-sabotage ourselves nothing will ever separate us from His love. Have you thought about all the Lord has kept you from? If you sit and think for a moment about all He has done to keep you where you are today, you will not deny His divine protection. Think and reflect on those days/nights where He got you home safe, even in our disobedience, He kept us! 

Let’s pray, Heavenly father today I pray that whoever is reading this that you bring to mind all you have kept them from, may their hearts be full of gratitude. Thank you for each moment that you kept them for this season and this moment in their lives. Bring to mind situations that they never thought they would come out of and remind them that you brought them out victorious. I pray that you reveal your purpose in their lives as you have revealed it to me. We love you, we acknowledge that without you we are nothing. Lord thank you for your faithfulness, and mercy in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus – Amen! 

Psalm 91

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]

2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you

from the fowler’s snare

and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,

and under his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

Blessed be the lord

I went through my share of financial difficulties. That season was hard.  We had to rent our condo to make ends meet and all 4 of us were living in a 1 bedroom that my sister rented for me in her house. It was so difficult that my husband ended up moving out after a few weeks, he was not used to living with other families. I remained there with our kids. I vividly remember one night, I was so sad, hurt, and in disbelief, I wondered many times why my money was disappearing. This particular night while I sat looking out the window, and while my children slept, I cried to God with everything in me. I begged and asked why Lord, I don’t understand why just as my paycheck comes in the bank it’s taken right out, why am I on negative, my account was on negative always. I said Lord you know my heart; you see my kids need clothes, but we are living on hand-me-downs. What else do you want me to do? Oh, I cried so much to the Lord, I remember holding a towel to my mouth so no one would hear me cry. Eventually, I fell asleep, I was so tired. Then suddenly as I slept, I heard someone call me “Diana, Diana” twice, it was a deep man’s voice, I thought it was my husband but after less than 30 seconds I remembered my husband was not there. I realized the Lord heard my cry and was calling me by my name. I was so nervous; I am pretty sure I was not in the posture I needed to be to hear him. However, just the fact that I know it was the Lord my heart rejoiced. I said a few times Lord I am here; I am here please talk, I was desperate to hear His voice again, but it did not come back to me at that moment. I was not walking with the Lord as I knew I should have been, yet, He was so merciful, the Lord Jesus heard my cry and answered me. I shared my experience with my loved ones but they said I was just tired and heard wrong. It has been over 20 years since that night and as I write this, it still brings tears to my eyes.

I was blind, I did not realize that when my children grew out of clothes, I kept receiving good used clothes for them which was their perfect size. My children were eating and never went cold or hungry. I had to pass through this season to understand that even though I did not have what I wanted I had what I needed for that season.

The Lord’s plans for us are to prosper and never to harm us.  There were a few things that as husband and wife we were not doing right, we were not bringing blessings to our family. I write this to encourage you to never give up. There is a light inside of you that will never be turned off.  You were called by the Lord and He longs to communicate with you. He has so much He wants to give you; He just needs you to surrender it all to Him. During hard seasons of your life command your heart to BLESS THE LORD, because the Lord gives and the Lord takes, but we are to bless His Holy Name in good times and in bad times, when we hurt and when we are happy, say it with me BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD! 

Let’s pray: Heavenly Father, thank you for reminding me where you took me out of, for loving me despite my errors and mistakes, with my righteousness I am nothing but filthy rags; however, Lord God I have been cleansed white as snow, from ashes to beauty, by reason of the blood of Jesus. As your children read this Lord remind them they are not alone and surround them with your infinite love. In the mighty name of Jesus – Amen!

Psalm 103: 1-4

Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion …

But God

I have no clue what I am doing; however, I have heard from several women/men of God that God equips the “called” therefore here I am Lord Jesus asking that you lead me whatever you want this to go, as far you want this to reach.

A few decades ago, I found myself always looking for answers, always searching, primarily asking myself “If God says He is love, then why is this happening? If the Lord hears us, why I can I hear Him?

Life hit me pretty hard sometimes. I know that certain things I did and said was not what Jesus would have wanted me to do or say. Often weekends and nights felt too long for me. I would always look at a window and thought to myself “when is this night going to be over” I would say Lord I want the morning to come. I always felt renewed in the morning, I felt I was able to breath better. As soon as I saw a ray of sunshine something within me renewed and I just kept going. Even though I experienced hurtful things I would always forgive easily, I thought to myself why am I this way? I need to hold grudges longer because people walk all over me. Later on my walk with the Lord I learned I was built differently, and the very first thing that I didn’t like about myself was just what the Lord loved the most about me. Many nights I would look online for encouragement, if someone can tell me what they did when they had nights like mine it would help but I found nothing.

The Lord wants to show us His plans for our lives; however, we will not be able to understand what that is until we decide to surrender all to Him. The Lord wants to talk to us but we will not hear Him if we have one foot in the world and one with Him. Are we perfect? Absolutely not, but through the process of building a relationship with Him, and talking to him through prayer you will know who our Father in Heaven is.

If you are having one of those weeks, weekends, nights or days, I encourage you to talk to God because the Lord will not reject a contrite heart. He is closer than ever when you are feeling down, sad, alone, forgotten, confused or hurt. The Lord LOVES you oh so much!

Heavenly father as your children read this blog, allow them to find encouragement in my words, Lord show them a little ray of sunshine and remind them that you loved them too much. May your face shine down upon them and bless them, in the might powerful name of Jesus I’ve prayed.

My very first blog – WOW

I have become that crazy woman for Jesus. At one point I criticized Jesus’s followers, I would

say things like “they are too much” I would say “Oh I love the Lord but I won’t go as far as

standing in life for hours to hear the word of God” BUT GOD’s plans are not mine. He can birth

new things out of you, if you let Him. GOD shakes you from the inside out.

Jesus has ordained thoughts and plans for my life that no one can remove. I was distracted and

couldn’t see straight. Now I have become a Jesus lover, I can’t stop wanting more of Him, I can’t

stop looking for more, and I am hungry and thirsty for Jesus. When His consuming fire strikes

you, nothing can stop it. I am here to share what He has done in my life.

I want to encourage you, I want to show you Jesus through my eyes. Jesus can turn all things

around for your good, just like he has done for me. On August 2022 marks the first

anniversary that I stopped drinking alcohol. I was that crazy aunt that loved to party. I needed a

sober and clear mind to hear Jesus’s still voice. How? And why? In my next blog, I will share the

beginning of my journey with Jesus.

What are you struggling with? What are you looking for? What is currently happening in your

life?

I pray Jesus visits you, I pray He starts making you uncomfortable to want to know more of Him.

More of Him and less of us!

I am ending this first blog by speaking the love of Jesus over you, and your family!

Psalm 18:1-3

I love you, Lord, my strength.

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;

My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,

My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

I have called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,

And I have been saved from my enemies.

God bless you!
