1 Samuel 17:49-51
"Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David. Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it."
The other night, about two nights ago, I was on the women's bible study/prayer line and was really moved by what was being said. A lot of women, including myself, expressed their anxieties, doubts, fears and so forth. We became vulnerable with each other, which is not the easiest thing to do. God really showed up on this line. After the line, I proceeded to clean up my house but the Spirit stopped me dead in my tracks and I began to write. I thought about David and him killing Goliath. I thought about David's faith in God and how he knew that Goliath didn't stand a chance against God's people. We all know that it wasn't the stone that killed Goliath but the faith that David had that God was going to deliver them and that is what we need. We need to know that when we throw stones at our burdens, diseases, temptations, spirits of the enemy or the enemy himself that its not how hard we throw but our belief in Christ that he will deliver us from the situation and with that we must go forth. But wait that isn't even the main part. After David Goliath fell, David then took the sword and cut off the Philistine's head. See it's not enough to throw the stone at our fears and doubts and strongholds we have to cut it off at the head. There's a saying cut the head of a snake and the whole thing dies. THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DO. Let's say you are experiencing anxiety about a situation, we know that God's word says "be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God" (Philippians 4:6) God's word says exactly how we should handle fear, doubt and anxiety. We all know that fear is a spirit that does not come from God. So if fear is a spirit and it does not come from God who could it possibly come from. THE ENEMY. His job is to walk around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Do not let the enemy play with your mind and convince you that you cannot do this and that, or your children are completely lost, or that starting that family will never happen, or going back to school is pointless or starting that business is too much. WE MUST CUT THE ENEMY OFF AT THE HEAD. For doubt and fear start in the mind. Put on your full armor of God and smite the enemy and kill doubt, fear, shame and other spirits that are keeping you bound from going forward or that is making you doubt God. Today we cast out bitterness, unbelief, doubt, fear, shame, strongholds, the fleshly desires, not loving yourself, temptations, condemnation, accusation, deception and anything else that is not of God. This spiritual battle starts in the mind, even Eve was deceived. In Genesis 3:13 "And the Lord God said to the woman, What is this you have done? the woman said the serpent deceived me, and I ate.". DO NOT BE DECEIVED. If God has given you promises, he will do them, for God does not relent, if he has given you a vision, pray, fast and go forth, if you are afraid for your family or children began to intercede but DO NOT allow the enemy anymore of your time. Be the conqueror that you were called to be. WE are CONQUERORS, WE ARE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE ONE TRUE KING. It ends now. We have the Holy Spirit on our side. We are no longer slaves but free through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Get up, prepare for battle, throw your stones with mustard seed faith, with your sword AND SMITE THE HEAD OF THE ENEMY AND BE FREE!
Be blessed sisters and brothers,

BE BOLD
Ephesians 6: 19-20 "And for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."
Hey all its been a while. I have been doing so much with the organization and starting a new job. I also have not been writing because like Jacob I've been wrestling with God. (Genesis 32: 22-32) God won, lol. When it was prophesied to me that I would have women from all over coming to me I said, for what? Of course through time God has shown me, why. It took me a while but now I realize as the word says we are God's workmanship, the plans he he has for us are plans he has had from the beginning and as long as we keep doing what we want to do there will continuously be a hole in us where our purpose should be but if we do the will of the Father then we will no longer we a slave to jobs, school, friends, etc. For even in Ephesians 2:10 states For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." Let me explain why this has been put on my heart so. I want to give you a vision that God gave me. Let me state this vision came to me 2 years ago. I was not alone, I was surrounded by a bunch of women at an annual meeting we have where we reflect on the year and worship God and where great things always happen.
We were praying and as we were praying there was giant blue feet going into the ocean from the shore. As it started walking into the ocean I realized the feet was humongous then came the legs, which were so long I mean about 12 Foot. It was a GIANT a huge blue giant but that was not all. This giant had a crown on its head made of fire and a cape around its neck. The giant was so beautiful and full of joy. The armor that it had on, no man could stand against. The giant began to walk into the ocean and it was not afraid, it walked boldly going towards the middle of the ocean, with it's head held high. As the giant walked forward it looked out and there was more giants also walking toward the middle of the ocean. The sky was blueish black but in the middle was fire and not regular fire it was like the Glory of God all the giants was drawn to it. The closer the giants got to it the more fearless they became. It was a vision like no other I still get goosebumps and smile when I think about it. I guess you say so what does the giant represent? ME. I am the Giant. I have never seen myself in this way. I was so bold and courageous and beautiful. As I stated before this vision was 2 years ago. Recently God has been bringing it back to me and with a soft whisper God said BE BOLD! Just typing this I want to cry because whom am I that God sees me this way. But I had to stop myself because His word says ins Psalm 8:4 "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?"
God told me BE BOLD with my organization, BE BOLD with my book, BE BOLD when it comes to spreading the gospel but more than anything BE BOLD with my Women's Ministry. Yes Women's Ministry. I accept it. I have a passion for women and for them to be saved and succeed. I've asked God time and time what you want me to do with this ministry and all he says is BE BOLD. Wait that's it Lord lol. But now I know. I've been running a Women's Bible Study on Saturdays and I have not announced it or told anyone because I said who am I to teach or show anyone anything and again God said BE BOLD. Through my vision I discovered that God has called me and other women like me to BE BOLD when it comes to His Kingdom, BE BOLD when it comes to your calling, BE BOLD if God has given you a vision. Do not be afraid because we know that fear comes from the enemy. We were meant to BE BOLD and COURAGEOUS. In these times people are lost, let us be the light that shows the path to The Way and The Truth.
For those who do not know Christ, get to know him, accept him as your Lord and Savior because Jesus saves and for those who just want a closer relationship with Christ, he said "seek me and you shall find me" Once you have done all of that let him use you, for it is the Church's time to stop being meek and timid but to RISE UP and be the children of the King that we are meant to be. Daughters IT IS TIME TO RISE UP! BE Blessed!

For The Love Of Money
"For the LOVE of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
I Timothy 6:10 NKJV
Being from NYC, the city of hustling and bustling, I started working at the age of 14 making 10.00 a hour in 1997. I never had a minimum wage job. I worked hard, I hustled hard. I stacked money and became overly greedy. That extra shift wasn't enough I needed more, so I left school and got a second job. Sometimes I would work 24 hours rest for four hours and do it again the next day. After I got saved (2012) I still had the same mind set, my husband married a hustler (2016) and then God spoke to me (2016). "Pam you have enough." I quickly replied ummm God no I don't I want this, I want that what about my bills and what about my savings. God chuckled at me and I was like what is it? But I knew the answer, God knew my bills and what I wanted and needed. God spoke really clear to me "I will take care of you", it was such a soft whisper that it brought tears to my eyes. I prayed and prayed about my job, scared to let the money go, scared to let the tuition reimbursement go, just scared. Then my supervisor happened to pull me in her office and mentioned being per diem, which is working 4x a month. Mind you I am a full time student, I have a internship full time and I have a non profit that is full time plus I'm a wife, a newlywed at that. I spoke with my husband and he was like "do whatever you wanna do". That sure didn't help me decide. I prayed and prayed some more and decided I would go per diem. I brought it to God and the Spirit literally said if that's what you want to do. What!!! Come on God tell me what to do. And it came to me that God gives us free will to choose him or the world, to chase him or chase money. I chose God and left it all at the cross. For the scriptures says in Matthew 6:26-27 "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
For the word says be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. (Philippians 4:6). God's word is forever true. We as human beings have a tendency to want to have complete control when in all reality God has the control. God does give us a choice but those of us who belong to him know the choice we should always make, which is to always trust God to supply our needs. Now that I am per diem, I pray more, I read more, I focus more on the vision God has given me, God has given me less bills and I have a overabundance of everything I need. I began reading this book Having A Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver. This book was spectacular. This was me, from the beginning of the book until the end. I was always running and never sleeping and resting. But God said he will give you rest. So why was I tired and lacking in my walk because I was like Martha running around when Mary was sitting at Jesus feet getting what she needed. For Christ told Martha, "oh Martha you worry about many things but only.one thing is needed and Mary has chosen what is right. Chasing that dollar won't get you into heaven, running tirelessly won't allow you to focus on God. A lot of my friends are running chasing that dollar and I just look and listen to them because I know that chasing that dollar may bring you what you want but only one thing is needed Christ said. Now I'm not saying don't work, go work for the Bible says a man who doesn't work doesn't eat and that is for women too BUT there is a difference between working and hustling for the love of that money because you feel you don't have enough. If you are saved and you know Christ then you should know that you have more than enough. If you are not saved then of course I understand why you are doing what you are doing because you don't have the Savior to lean on. Get saved, have faith, repent and allow the Lord to lead and guide your life. For God says I have never seen the righteous forsaken or begging bread. Be blessed.
