Good Steward

The earth is the Lord ’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; They will receive blessing from the Lord and vindication from God their Savior. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob.
Psalms 24:1‭, ‬5‭-‬6 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/psa.24.1-6.NIV

What Do You Think Of ?

When you hear good steward what is the first thing you think of ? Is it money. For most people it is. You automatically think of that $20 in your pocket that you’re trying to save because you want to make God happy… but what does The Bible say ?

Money Does Not Mean The FAVOR of God

When Joseph’s brother threw him into the pit , sold him into slavery … what did they have that Joseph didnt ? Money. When Judas betrayed JESUS and JESUS STILL rose in three days .. what did Jesus have that Judas could never have ? That was the LOVE and Supernatural FAVOR of GOD !

And a voice from heaven said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.”
Matthew 3:17 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/mat.3.17.NLT

Be careful When You See People Going Through Hard Times

When Joseph was in prison he was a good steward over the gifts and talents GOD had given him. He was obedient. Money did not get Joseph out of prison. It was God.. and it took two years from the time of his intrepation of dreams to the manifestation of the promise . This is why it is so important to be obedient NOW , because years later it matters.

****

One of my favorite mysteries in The Bible is Enoch. As I was reading about Him in GENESIS something caught my attention.

When Enoch was 65 years old, he became the father of Methuselah. After the birth of Methuselah, Enoch lived in close fellowship with God for another 300 years, and he had other sons and daughters. Enoch lived 365 years, walking in close fellowship with God. Then one day he disappeared, because God took him.
Genesis 5:21‭-‬24 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/gen.5.21-24.NLT

What God revealed to me is that Enoch was 365 years old when God took him, and that was his destiny. Enoch had to be a good steward over his walk with God. He had to have self- control, fruit of the spirit, and a understanding that his time (365 years) here on earth MATTERS !

***

So instead of today being soooooo worried about money understand that you have no idea what can happen tomorrow. You don’t know if your job is going to fire you. You don’t know if the government is going to shut down. You dont know if your friend is going to betray you and kick you out of their home and you dont know if you will have the “money” during those times. The only thing that can deliver you through certain situations is your FELLOWSHIP with God.

Also, becareful how you treat people because in Two years you have NO idea who or what they are going to be.. and you have NO idea who or what you are going to be. Riches fly away so quickly, this is why The Bible says you cannot serve both God and mammon… you will hate one or love the other.

Devotional: Is It Time For Me To Leave

God Cares About Your Safety

I am firm believer that we as Christian’s take GRACE way to far. Grace is not spitting on your spouse and then apologizing for it later … expecting everything to be ok. Grace is not punching your husband/or wife in a dosmetic violence situation and then praying for God to forgive you.. GRACE is not child abuse and sexual exploitation. Grace is the love and blood that JESUS shed on the cross for our sins.. To call those who were unworthy to preach HIS gospel of repentance to the nations. That is grace.

Proverbs 31:30 says

***

By HIS grace I have been saved… but it is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ… because He Is Coming soon.

but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me. So I am well pleased with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, and with difficulties, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak [in human strength], then I am strong [truly able, truly powerful, truly drawing from God’s strength]. Now I have become foolish; you have forced me [by questioning my apostleship]. Actually I should have been commended by you [instead of being treated disdainfully], for I was not inferior to those super-apostles, even if I am nobody. The signs that indicate a genuine apostle were performed among you fully and most patiently—signs and wonders and miracles. For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except [for the fact] that I did not burden you [with my financial support]? Forgive me [for doing you] this injustice!
2 CORINTHIANS 12:9‭-‬13 AMP
https://bible.com/bible/1588/2co.12.9-13.AMP

Grace will you carry you through the hard times… Grace is NOT a band-aid over abuse. You reap what you sow. With that being said.. God is calling his people out of abusive marriages. According to Malachi 3 there should be a difference of his people and the world.. There is about to be a SERIOUS distinction. If you are in a abusive household do not turn against those who are trying to help you and trust God to carry you through the healing process. God bless you guys.

Prayer

God I pray that you deliver those who want to be free from abusive marriages in Jesus Name –

So if the Son makes you free, then you are unquestionably free.
JOHN 8:36 AMP
https://bible.com/bible/1588/jhn.8.36.AMP

God hear the cry of the people I pray that you move past fears and run to the arms of the Father.

Amen.

In Christ With Love ,

Steered Back To God

Hebrews 4:15 New International Version (NIV)

15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.

My Testimony

I am child abuse survivor. I have many testimonies of what God has delivered me from. When I was a child I was raped, abused, I would go to school with bruises on my body, someone in my family tried something, and I was made fun of for incest.

When I was younger I used to listen to bad music to make my self feel better. Music about sex, and other things.

I just wanted a mental escape from what I had been through.

I didn’t want a relationship with God… because my family were “Christians” so I wanted nothing to do with him.

But certain music opens portals to fantasy..

Because Of My Abuse

I tried to find love in boys, boyfriends, in money, and other things and I ended up with nothing in the end. Honestly, my walk with God is not easy. Every day I try to figure how to just be ok.

This is hard, because when you are anointed people get jealous.. so it doesn’t matter what happened to you in their eyes they just want to hurt you.

In times like these you have to give it all to God.

This is not to be paranoid, or put you in a ungodly isolation but to steer you to the Father.

Psalms 20:7 says,

7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
    but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

NIV  

Sometimes When God Closes A DOOR  

It is purely to protect you… You may not see it right now… but soon very soon God is going to show you. The closed door was a shield from false prophets who would have preyed on your emotions, abusive spiritual mothers who are really Jezebel, and he shielded you from jealous friends who would have hurt you beyond repair.

In these wilderness seasons… God is calling for prayer. Turn off your phone, get silent, and get in HIS presence…

If the Holy Spirit releases you to let go of that abusive boyfriend… Then let him go…

If God tells you its time to find a different church home.. then be obedient

If God says let go of idols, such as spiritual parents then let it go…

Or if you are in a abusive marriage , please listen to God… let it go.

Mid Day Devotion : Gracious Favor

When I think of Hosea & Gomer and the supernatural love he showed Gomer… I see that God is preparing HIS church for a supernatural outpouring of love. God makes no mistakes. Although this generation is coupled with abuse God has seen and is ready to heal.. but HE needs those who are willing. The truth of the matter we all are like Gomer. So if it’s your husband or wife (Isaiah 55:8-9) remember the love that God showed Gomer through the prophet Hosea and trust God through the pain (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Devotion : Learning How To Forgive

It made the Lord happy that Solomon had asked for this. So God said to him, ‘I will give you what you have asked for. I will do it for these reasons: You have asked for a mind that understands how to rule people fairly. You have not asked for a long life or to be very rich. You have not asked for the death of your enemies. I will give to you a mind that is wise . And I will give to you a mind that understands things. As a result, there never has been, and never will be, anyone like you. I will give you more than this. I will give to you the things that you did not ask for. I will make you rich. People will know that you are great. While you are alive, there will be no better king than you.
1 Kings 3:10‭-‬13 EASY
https://bible.com/bible/2079/1ki.3.10-13.EASY

You Get To A Place In Life

Where you could care less about your enemies. You get so tired that you begin to accept the fact that the more you focus on your enemies the less successful you will be in your life.

Your enemies are moving on with their life so let them go. But here is the difference if you stay with GOD He will naturally destroy them for you…. because it’s in HIS WORD.

My Testimony

I have people do very evil things to me. A woman who I was friends with in the military and I was there for her through a miscarriage and took her to church … she took my photo and put me on a prostitution site with my phone number .

I’ve been made fun of for incest. I had to sleep in the same bed for years with the person who raped me..and no one cared about me.. and they still dont. Never will.

My own mother told me she doesnt like me.

I’ve been raped , opened up about it to a woman and she cussed me out a day later .

I’ve even been thrown out at two o’clock in the morning for reading the Bible.

I told a old boyfriend what happened to me he called me something like a dog.

I’ve been slapped by a old boyfriend and homeless.

I’ve lost mind

I had a woman who said she was my friend lie on me said I was involved with her husband , confess she was wrong , pretended to be my friend and then turned around and betrayed me again . And this same woman saw me cry at church about being sexually abused then turned around and betrayed me… and we are not even touching the surface of my life.

But I have come to the conclusion that I really don’t care what happens to my enemies. Its up to God. Sometimes you just have to let your enemies go so you can encounter inner healing. It’s hard but spend time with God and He will guide you the right people to help you.

So today rebuke thoughts of murder and suicide. Even if you have to call the hotline to have someone to talk to do it. Just dont give up on life .

Through The Dark Times

Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers and when he was in prison he gave a interpretation of dreams. But here is the thing, it took two years after the intrepation for Joseph to be delivered.

But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison. I was forcibly carried off from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing to deserve being put in a dungeon.” When the chief baker saw that Joseph had given a favorable interpretation, he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: On my head were three baskets of bread. In the top basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.” “This is what it means,” Joseph said. “The three baskets are three days. Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and impale your body on a pole. And the birds will eat away your flesh.” The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.
Genesis 40:14‭-‬19‭, ‬23 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/gen.40.14-23.NIV

*****

When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile, He fell asleep again and had a second dream: Seven heads of grain, healthy and good, were growing on a single stalk. Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am reminded of my shortcomings. Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he imprisoned me and the chief baker in the house of the captain of the guard. Each of us had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own. Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams, and he interpreted them for us, giving each man the interpretation of his dream. And things turned out exactly as he interpreted them to us: I was restored to my position, and the other man was impaled.” So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon. When he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came before Pharaoh. Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.” “I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.” Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile, when out of the river there came up seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds.
Genesis 41:1‭, ‬5‭-‬5‭, ‬9‭-‬18 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/gen.41.1-18.NIV

***

Right now it may seem as if the wicked are prospering.. it may seem like God has left . You may ask God why do they have a job and I dont ? I’ve been applying over and over again why me? Why God do they have the apartment and I dont ? I work I wake up early and work and they dont even serve you.. why me ?

And it seems like the more you suffer the more dreams you have , but the more they prosper. But here is the thing. If you keep going in two years you will look back and you will be the head and not the Tail. Joseph was not brought out to work at McDonalds or Burger King. NO! JOSEPH was brought out to be put in authority. So you have to keep going !

“I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.” Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile, Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do. “It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do. Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt, “And now let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man and put him in charge of the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh appoint commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance. So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God ?” Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you. You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.”
Genesis 41:16‭-‬17‭, ‬25‭, ‬28‭-‬29‭, ‬33‭-‬34‭, ‬38‭-‬40 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/gen.41.16-40.NIV

Here Is Another Mystery

Sometimes God will allow the wicked to rule to prepare you for leadership. Think about Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel ruled under him. Alot of time we want the Joseph anointing but we dont want to be lied on, we want the Daniel anointing but we dont want to go the lions den, you want to be Esther but you dont want to accept there was Vashti before you… Shall you not accept the good and the bad ? You want to be Ruth but dont want to accept that somethings have to die before you marry Boaz..

The Prophetic Word is : Two Years

Just keep going. Choose the narrow way it leads to life!

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6 NIV
