A Word of Encouragement From God's Heart to Yours

“But in that coming day, no weapon turned against you will succeed. And everyone who tells lies in court will be brought to justice. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!” (Isaiah 54:17 NLT).

Isaiah 54:17 says, “But in the coming day.” Today is that coming day. The day that Isaiah spoke about is here. As the attacks on your mind and your body intensify, you have to get to a place where you are fully persuaded that no weapon that is formed against you will succeed or prosper. Let your arsenal be the word of God. When the enemy tempted Jesus in the wilderness, His response was always, “It is written.” He quoted back to the devil the Word of God. You, too, must only speak the Word. It is important that you remember that the weapon may be formed, but it cannot prosper. To prosper means to thrive, do well, or flourish. We know today that the attack will not do well. It will not thrive.

I encourage you to meditate today on the fact that the weapon cannot prosper until that fact is settled in your heart.

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus, I boldly decree and declare that no weapon be formed against my family, or I will prosper. Amen.

LET' STEP AWAY FROM INSTANT GRATIFICATION. My need to address Vicky White and Casey White Manhunt

I find myself riveted to the news of this manhunt. I search for every bit of news regarding this manhunt. Why, some may ask? Because Vicky’s decision whether impulsively or well calculated has ramifications. Somehow, I feel compassion for Vicky White and the decision she has made to leave her life, her mom, her job and everything that was familiar to her to run away with Casey White. I remember not the incident but clearly the words as the Holy Spirit said to me, “Instant gratification makes for long-term ramifications.” I didn’t quite understand all that the Holy Spirit was revealing to me at that time, but over the years, boy oh boy, did I not only see but experience the ramifications of my instant gratification.

I feel compassion for her, because I myself have made decisions that seemed good to me and good for me at the time. Oh, I didn’t run away with a man, but I did things in my life out of instant gratification which makes for long-term ramifications.

What Vicky doesn’t realize is that what at the time seemed like a great idea — to trade stability for someone you feel like you have to be with, will either end up in her life being taken if she chooses not to surrender if caught and told to surrender her weapons and she chooses not to. What seemed like the perfect love scenario could cause her to go back to the very detention center as a prisoner where she once was in charge. What seemed like the perfect love scenario could cause her to be on the run for the rest of her life. That is what instant gratification does — it comes along with long-term ramifications. Help her Lord.

One may say to themselves and to others, that they would never do that. I beg to differ. The lifestyle of instant gratification is alive and coming to a house near you or your house. I have been told that I can be judgmental at times and to the person(s) who have said that about me, you may be right. However, when I look at and have accepted the role of a Prophet, I realize that I am a mouthpiece/spokesperson for God. My assignment is to admonish, warn, direct, encourage, intercede, teach and counsel; to bring the word of God to the people of God and call the people to respond. With that said, I say to others, Do not be quick to say what you would or wouldn’t do.

Vicky White was presented the same package that Lucifer presented to Eve and the same package we are presented with at an accelerated pace. The fruit looked good to Eve. A good life and happiness are what Lucifer, now Satan presented to Vicky. I could well imagine the scenarios of happiness that Satan with his vain imaginations promised Vicky. What Satan did not tell Vicky was the long-term ramifications that came with the fruit for Eve, the good life of love and laughter Satan probably showed Vicky White.

Again, it may never be Vicky White’s scenario for anyone reading this article but think of the many times we have ourselves deal with instant gratification.

Instant gratification may come in the form of enjoying a second or third serving of that good food. Instant gratification could also come in the form of lying on that job application. Instant gratification could also come up by telling off that boss, driving 20 miles over the speed limit, overspending, and the list goes on, without us truly having the essential understanding that the long-term ramifications are going to come.

My prayer for Vicky, myself and all others who have and will continue to operate in instant gratification is that we stop and remember that all of these instant gratifications do indeed have long-term ramifications. My prayer is that we remember to go to God when we are presented with a temptation for instant gratifications and ask that the Holy Spirit help us to navigate our way out of them. My final prayer for Vicky is that she surrenders her life to the Lord and watch Him work it out for her. He truly is a good, good Father. #Godzmouthpiece #runningaftergod4real

BLESS, BLESS and then BLESS some more

Have you ever had STUFF roll up on you. Well I did this morning and boy was I hot.

In desperation I reached out to someone about my taxes. Only to wake up to receiving a bad report about my taxes. I immediately started to go into panic and then anger mode. I don’t know about you, but when my panic turns into anger — someone is in for it. I was ready. No, let me correct that — the devil had my adrenaline pumping. They were going to get a piece of my mind — (#realtalkdonna).

Then, someone I had worked with began to treat me as though I was desperate. Granted, there are times in my life that I forget who I am and allow people to believe that I am desperate. With God on my side, I am never desperate, but in my flesh, I can seem desperate to some. So this person began to think that they can take advantage of me and treat me less than Royalty. She must not know who I am. But then again, I can’t blame her, I obviously acted like I was desperate for her to feel like she could treat me as a desperate Christian woman. Wrong answer, my friend. Not desperate on my worst day.

Now, back to how riled up the devil had me going. I was ready to act like a simple person. The simple person I use to be before God snatched me out of my simpleness. Thank you for salvation Father.

Anyhow, as I was listening to the lies, our adversary, the devil was feeding me, I got a check in my spirit. Luke 6:28 — “Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.” Father, I don’t want to hear that, I want to tell them off. NOT SO.

Okay Father, in the name of Jesus, if that is what I should do — which I know to do, but don’t want to do, I will do what Your Word says. I will bless them and pray for them. So I decided that for the next 13 days of December, I will intentionally with names spoken out loud bless those people who think they are using me or getting over on me.

WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE —

I am not the only person who have or have had people take advantage of them or misused and/or abused them. So I am telling you that I know for sure that if you give it to God — whatever the abuse was — physical, mental, sexual, God will take the blessings you send out to those and heap much more blessings back at you.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I stand in the gap for those dealing with any kind of abuse and offer up blessings on behalf of our abusers. We thank You Father, in the name of Jesus that You said in Your Word (Deuteronomy 32:35) I will take revenge; I will pay them back and therefore” we will bless them knowing that You see all and know all and is taking good care of us, amen. #Godzmouthpiece #runningafterGod4real #realtalkdonna
