I Don’t Need Or Care About Your Advice

Yes… This Is What I Like  

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you [and approved of you as My chosen instrument], And before you were born I consecrated you [to Myself as My own]; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” – Jeremiah 1:5

I Had To Accept It  

Since 2015, I have been living my life to appease church people and God had to set me free today. I had to throw some clothes away and I had to throw some ideas away. I have to be me and no one else. I cannot pretend anymore. I can’t. I have tried to make so many people happy in how I dress and look so that people would feel comfortable around me. But now… as a grown woman. I do not care anymore. If my presence makes you insecure? Then I do not care. Something is wrong with you and not me. I will not let another woman or somebody change me again. The only man that I will change for is Jesus. Today I am on my journey of becoming ME again. I will marry who I WANT to be with. There is a certain type of man that I want and I will have it. I do not care about your advice or what you think I should do. Never again will I consult about my ministry and my decisions. I am a grown woman.  

to reveal his Son to me, so that I might preach the Good News about him to the Gentiles, I did not go to anyone for advice, – Galatians 1:16 

Stop Asking For Advice  

Understand that if you ask a good trustworthy spouse that is different. But from this day forward, I will NEVER ask for advice again. It took me 7 years to see that advice almost ruined my life. Advice from the wrong person can destroy you in a way you could never imagine. Stop running to random people about your life and focus on God.  

Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.” –  1 Corinthians 15:33  

Thought Process  

Thought Process  

But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. – Luke 2:19  

Last year I was speaking to someone that I still love and care for. I was still angry and bitter about something that occurred when we were younger. I said some things that I regret. But what he said to me was, “I hope he is a better man to you than I was”. I remember that day because I closed my laptop in anger. I walked away and brushed it off, still angry. At that moment I felt like I finally got my vindication for what happened… But no… That was not my vindication. That was something else… God was about to heal my thought process.  

Little by little, my marriage unraveled. Little by little the marriage became more and more evil. I endured things that I cannot even imagine. Because my soon to be ex-husband would not listen to me, the landlord waited two weeks before the end of the lease to lie and say that we would not leave the home. That’s a lie… I GLADLY left the uninhabitable home. Because my husband would not listen to me his brother waited until he left and jumped me after I had a baby (I won btw… Almost got arrested though). I don’t want to continue on all that happened … but out of everything that transpired in the old relationship between me and that man… I can honestly say that he never did this to me.  

As We Are Closing The Year 

I have been forced to sit back and talk to God about a lot. I had to tell God he was right… Because in 2019 God told me that me and that other man would be back together… OfCourse being stubborn I wouldn’t accept it and now look at me. What makes it worse is that I literally told him that my “new man” (ex-husband) moved me into the house, had a lot of money, was an accountant, and all of these other things… but what does the Bible say…? 

And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? – Mark 8:36  

Yes, my soon to be ex-husband had a job as an accountant … but … I don’t even think I will be ready to tell what he did… or if I will ever be ready. Yes… he had a bachelors but… he hurt me in ways I can’t explain. Yeah… he moved me into his 4-bedroom house… But it was HELL, he constantly made bad decisions because of his pride and ego and would not listen to me and now we are being sued for something that we did not even do. Yes… he was a youth pastor at a mega-church… but he… I can’t even say it. It’s terrible.  

Moral Of The Story  

I can’t explain how I feel. The days when I woke up in this terrible marriage with black circles under my eyes. The days I did not recognize myself. The days I couldn’t move out of the bed for MONTHS … For TWO YEARS I looked in the mirror and did not recognize myself.  

How do I look? A man that I secretly love asked me for another chance, I told him no and told him about my ex-husband and now look at me?  Lesson learned. You have to be so careful how you treat people… Because you have no idea how it is going to come back to you.  

I married my ex-husband because I thought it would look good for ministry. Here I am an international prophetess and I am married to a former pastor at a megachurch. Sweetheart, that was the worst decision of my life. I have heard so many horror stories from first ladies that said don’t ever marry a pastor. I thought they were crazy… Nope… You would not believe what they secretly do.  

But the crazy thing is… God told me not to marry my ex-husband. I am thankful for his grace that carried me through that like Gomer and Jonah. I regret my ex-husband.  

Thought Process  

God takes us through battles to warn other people. To the young man… Be very careful marrying for ministry and how it looks. Pursue God and pursue happiness. You would be very surprised and shocked at how evil some women are in the church. To young ladies… DO NOT marry a pastor. Pursue God and let God make you happy with a man that will make you smile and happy.  

Now I Want A Second Chance  

Now I want a second chance to listen to what God has to say. I want a second chance with the man that God has for me.  

But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken! – Isaiah 54:17 

Yes… Today… I Finally Woke Up Happy  

Yes… Today… I Finally Woke Up Happy  

Mom Life  

I woke up and took care of my baby girl. I cleaned. I washed clothes. I trusted God. I walked outside and felt the warm autumn air and I was happy. Fall is my favorite season … I honestly wish it was the fall all year ‘round. I remember when I was a little girl, I would say that I wanted a baby girl named Autumn because that is how much I loved the season. I loved the pumpkin spice candles. I loved the vibe in the atmosphere. I love watching Christian families prepare for beautiful holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. It really is a beautiful time and season.  

Happy  

For me 2022 was my year of decisions (Jeremiah 29:11). I made the decision to listen and obey everything that Christ tells me because he was truly and honestly right about everything. Even things that he told me in 2019, resurfaced this year and I had to confess that God was right. One million views on YouTube did not make me happy (even though I am very grateful to God for this). My husband definitely did not make me happy. I can truly testify about that. But Christ made me happy. I was looking at my baby and realized how much I loved her. It was only a few years ago that I was begging God to deliver me from childhood home. I would have dreams that I was at a beach and I had a daughter… Now… It has come to pass over seven years later. I praise God for that. I am happy. I am happy. I feel beautiful and I am content in Christ Jesus. God gives the beauty of holiness.

Let Go Of Anger 

You’re getting older. You don’t move as quick as you used to. You’re tired alot easier and it seems like the years are just passing by.. You know why? You’re still angry. You are angry and it is time to give it to God. They used to say that life is a blink of a eye and that is not true. Life can be beautiful and long when you live it the right way. You are more than a conqueror. You are important. You are strong in Christ Jesus. Today? Give all of what happened to you to God. Let God heal you.

Verse Of The Day

Habakkuk 3:17-19New International Version

17 Though the fig tree does not bud
    and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
    and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
    and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
    I will be joyful in God my Savior.

19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
    he enables me to tread on the heights.

For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.
