Redeemed

Isaiah 53:5 New Living Translation (NLT)

5 But he was pierced for our rebellion,
    crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
    He was whipped so we could be healed.

In life we take so many things for granted. You don’t realize how blessed you are to be married until you are divorced because you abused your spouse. You don’t realize how fortunate you are to have a home until you are homeless. You don’t realize the value of Biblical stewardship until you have lost all your money. You don’t realize so many things until you lose everything….

Psalm 68:5-6 The Message (MSG)

5-6 Father of orphans,
    champion of widows,
        is God in his holy house.
God makes homes for the homeless,
    leads prisoners to freedom,
        but leaves rebels to rot in hell.

I think about Gomer, Hosea’s wife.. How she chased another man instead of staying with her husband. She left her life and stability because she wanted someone else.. The things of the world… and then after she was destroyed finally her Hosea… her husband came.

If you ever watch the movie Amazing Love, it will give you a understanding of marriage. Of Love. This woman ……. Gomer, a beautiful woman left her family for another man. One day, she didn’t want to dance… she didn’t want to engage in her new boyfriend’s festivities … and what did he do? He removed her from his presence.. All her pretty clothes? Gone. All her beauty? Now destroyed.

And to make matters worst… She is exposed in front of everyone.. and she sits there in bondage.. dirty and destroyed while people are making bets on her and mocking her.. Gomer… This beautiful woman now destroyed… and then…. Hosea comes… and even though she left him and even though she looks dirty with rags on… He picks her and takes her. That’s love.

My Testimony

I grew up in the church, yet I was so abused as a child. Sexually abused, mentally, physically, and emotionally… I was the Vice President of the Choir lead praise and worship and went to the wilderness… Then I started working again , had a good job as debt collector had another job working at Macy’s but left God.. and went to stripping and prostitution. I had a little boyfriend and one day I decided I didn’t want to dance anymore. I stopped going to the strip club and he just left me…

I am Gomer. I remember when I had everything… When I had money, when I had all that I could want and I left God… and lost everything… As I travel through life, waiting and wondering God when…. God why… God how… when are you going to do it? When are you going to deliver me… God when.. please God … please… when. I think of Gomer

Beaten, bruised, and dirty… yet redeemed.

Hosea 3 New Living Translation (NLT)

Hosea’s Wife Is Redeemed

3 Then the Lord said to me, “Go and love your wife again, even though she[a] commits adultery with another lover. This will illustrate that the Lord still loves Israel, even though the people have turned to other gods and love to worship them.[b]”

2 So I bought her back for fifteen pieces of silver[c] and five bushels of barley and a measure of wine.[d] 3 Then I said to her, “You must live in my house for many days and stop your prostitution. During this time, you will not have sexual relations with anyone, not even with me.[e]”

4 This shows that Israel will go a long time without a king or prince, and without sacrifices, sacred pillars, priests,[f] or even idols! 5 But afterward the people will return and devote themselves to the Lord their God and to David’s descendant, their king.[g] In the last days, they will tremble in awe of the Lord and of his goodness.

As I walk by faith and not by sight… Through the darkest valley… I pray . Sometimes that’s all you can do is pray. We take grace to far. We think we can do everything we want to do without natural consequences…. My consequence was losing everything the pretty clothes, my beauty, my success, my friends… but yet I will not despise the chastening of the LORD.

So today when you listen to stupid city girls and cardi b and they talk about prostitution, don’t be deceived.

Love Mixed With Faith <3,

This Kind Of Warfare : The Test

I have encountered something so difficult lately. As I find myself in the wilderness…. I am surrounded by people who have money , a career, a education, worldly success … but no strong relationship with God… Yet I hear God … know Him and I am struggling…. After crying , venting, and praying with one of my Male friends. It came to me…. This is a Matthew 4 warfare.

Why Does The Devil Want A Prophet

We know the different offices … for example pastor or evangelist … but the apostles and the prophets have built the foundations of the church. The devil attacks because satan wants to turn the prophet into a witch or a warlock for money. See the devil doesn’t really care about the YouTube evangelist… satan doesnt really care about your make-up tutorials… it’s the prophet that he wants.

The Prophet Destroys Principalities With Power

Just think of Moses when he confronted Pharoah with the plagues… then think of Elijah went he confronted Jezebel and the prophets of baal.. and DEFINITELY think about David when he killed Goliath.

Now I know for a fact … The Apostles are coming.. Not the fake apostles … I’m talking about “I’m scared , I hope he dont call me ” Apostles. The Apostles that cause you to go blind, that people were dropping dead in front of. The Apostles that demons know.

Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. And many who had believed came confessing and telling their deeds.
Acts 19:16‭-‬18 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/act.19.16-18.NKJV

In this season the devil is attacking finances, wealth, and your Christian influence and surrounding people with “friends” who have bowed and have not surrendered to God. It seems like the more they sin and talk about money , the more they get blessed….. but I came to tell you… You just need one…. You need one prayer, You need one circle, and You need one savior .. Jesus …

I’m going to be honest… This wilderness that just popped up caught me off guard. I knew something was coming …. but I did not think this was a Matthew 4 Warfare .. “Test.” During these trials as you go through… Just keep calling on God. Eventually he will show up. Amen.

Always Remember

Love,

What I Learned From Ruth

May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord , the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
Ruth 2:12 NIV
https://ruth.bible/ruth-2-12

Coming Back To God

I am someone who left God , went back to sin …. got destroyed … and then came back to God… And this is what I learned from Ruth.

It Doesn’t Matter

When I was sin I used to date drug dealers and men who were in gangs. Actually I left God and yet He was still calling me … telling me to return unto Him. And I did… but I had to deal with the natural consequences of my sin.

When Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went over to lie down at the far end of the grain pile. Ruth approached quietly, uncovered his feet and lay down. In the middle of the night something startled the man; he turned—and there was a woman lying at his feet! “Who are you?” he asked. “I am your servant Ruth,” she said. “Spread the corner of your garment over me, since you are a guardian-redeemer of our family.” “The Lord bless you, my daughter,” he replied. “This kindness is greater than that which you showed earlier: You have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor. And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask. All the people of my town know that you are a woman of noble character.
Ruth 3:7‭-‬11 NIV

Marriage Is Beautiful

I guess when it comes to marriage I’m kind of like the Apostle Paul. I never wanted to be married because I was always able to take care of myself. I never needed anyone and I was kind of prideful about it… Until I lost everything … I never knew how mean people can be when your heart is broken because I always had money… I used money to fill voids of pain and accept my hurt when it was gone…

But How Does This Relate To Ruth

Ruth lost her husband and had to leave her family.. (Ruth 1:16-17) she had to leave something that was dead and trust God through poverty, through work, and a new found faith. What is dead in your life ? I know for me my old life in California , my wealth , and my dreams are dead… and I have left my family like Ruth … and somehow I have to faith it and gather the strength like Ruth to move forward ..

I love Ruth’s character … because let me tell you dating thugs and drug dealers are not it honey .. trust me I know from experience.

Boaz was a older man I believe and that’s beautiful. Because of Ruth I have lost the desire for a worldly man. A man that fears God, loves the Bible, and is stable is a good man. Not these stupid rappers and drug dealers… that’s a fantasy that I dont want.

A Woman

I have learned like Gomer … you can leave God and be with men that buy you things but the moment … you hold your ground and your foundations of God kick in they are going to leave you. A man that loves God is a man for me. Christian men (real Christian men not pretenders) are the men that women should desire…. who wants a thug when you can have God ?

After the Sin

You’re left with a broken heart…. but if you work and trust God like Ruth HE (Psalm 24) will redeem you.. God I thank you in advance …

Today

Think about your dating choices as a Christian because they matter. Dont pursue thugs, drug dealers , rappers, and men who ONLY talk about money.

Focus on God… if God sends you a prophet as a husband love him…dont make fun of him for loving God…. if He sends a witness as your husband love him… because trust me life of the other side of recovery isn’t easy. Think before you act in your relationships and ask for wisdom.

Amen ? Amen.

By His Grace ❤

Devotional : Lord Teach Me To Be Humble In Prayer

God Always Answers My Prayers

…. but I didnt say it’s always a response I wanted. There are some (MANY) times that God does tell me no and that I have to wait or sometimes Be Still.

But I had to learn. When I pray I dont go to God demanding , I go in humility in repentance . When you spend time today check your heart, your attitude, and you posture . God doesn’t have to do anything for you . God wants a repentant heart. If you need God to move get into repentance and humility THEN He will move (Psalm 51).

Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy! I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until the danger passes by. I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. He will send help from heaven to rescue me, disgracing those who hound me. Interlude My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness. I am surrounded by fierce lions who greedily devour human prey— whose teeth pierce like spears and arrows, and whose tongues cut like swords. Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens! May your glory shine over all the earth. My enemies have set a trap for me. I am weary from distress. They have dug a deep pit in my path, but they themselves have fallen into it. Interlude My heart is confident in you, O God; my heart is confident. No wonder I can sing your praises! Wake up, my heart! Wake up, O lyre and harp! I will wake the dawn with my song. I will thank you, Lord, among all the people. I will sing your praises among the nations. For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens. May your glory shine over all the earth.
Psalms 57:1‭-‬11 NLT
