IT'S A NEW YEAR & A NEW BEGINNING

Well hello my readers! I made it, though a little late but I definitely wanted to make an entry before the month of January was over. While I have your eyes and your ears, I pray that this year yields all of the delicious looking, sweet tasting, perfect in shape and flawless in presentation, the crops that you have planted over the pass 7 years for the Glory of God. Seven is the number of completion and 8 is the number of new beginnings. A New Year free of any hurts, doubts, addictions, lack of motivation, uncertainties, up and down happiness, worry, fears, financial burdens and any other strong holds we may have over our lives and the lives of our family members. The word that God gave the prophetess at our church (http://www.alfwc.org/), for the body of Christ was to "Speak The Word". In essence what this means is that when you pray give God his word, he is not obligated to do what we ask him to do but he is obligated to fulfill His Will which is all that His word says. Just as it is when we are cold in the middle of the night we wake up and reach for the blanket to cover us and make us warm; we need to do the same thing in the spiritual sense but instead of reaching for a blanket we need to reach for the word of God and speak the word of God so that we can cover our prayer request and then rest and be assured in knowing that God is warming everything up and when it gets too hot he will pull back the covers and make manifested the prayers that you made known unto him. Glory-to-God...

So if you have feelings of impossibilities Speak The Word "All things are possible..." Luke 18:27, Mark 9:23

Feeling of tiredness Speak The Word "I will give you rest..." Mthw 11:28-30

Feelings of doubt, depression, giving up Speak The Word "My grace is sufficient..." 2 Corinthians 12:9 & Psalms 31:15

Feelings of fear Speak The Word "I have not given you the spirit of fear..." 2 Timothy 1:7

Feelings of worry and frustration Speak The Word "Cast all your cares upon Him" 1 Peter 5:7

Feelings of not having enough Speak The Word "My God will supply all my needs.." Philip. 4:19

These are just a few, but remember no matter what we are going through we must dive into the word of God because it has already addressed every concern, every feeling and every thought that we will ever be face.

I love you with the love of the Lord. I really do! And I continue to pray that God keeps us in his perfect peace, understanding His word having Godly wisdom and discernment of all truth.

Be Blessed and may you have a Prosperous New Year.

When U Love The Lord...

Today while in prayer as I was praying Romans 8:28 became alive in me and I just begin to feel an enormous sense of gratefulness. The scripture reads, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” I begin to think of the things that I have gone through, the things that I way be going through and the tricks & distractions that the enemy set around me to try to divert me from my walk in Christ and no matter what it was or what it is, they all have worked and are working together to make me into the “perfect” person God has created me to be. I know sometimes we may get off track because we thought we heard the Lord regarding a particular situation in our life, I know that I have definitely been there. Nevertheless, no matter what I have done in the pass, if I happen to get off course in the future, no matter what trials may come my way, I am comforted in knowing that it will all work out for my good and God will ultimately receive all of the Glory.

When we grow to “love God with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength” (Mark 12:30), we will always find comfort, peace and joy in Him. May God continue to bless you and mature you into the person he has created you to be.

With the Abundance of Love,

Samiyyah
