You might ask by the title what has she done now? Well nothing I am learning to stop doing things on my own and letting God take full control. See sometimes we think we knpw what is good for us. We say inour humble voice I believe this is what God wants for me. Well listen to this I can't do anything on my own and I have no idea what I need in my life. If you notice I say I,I,I not what God wants. It has taken a long time to learn this by God knows sometimes I do just strike out on my own. When I need to listen to my heart and what God is saying. Sfter the fact I look by and go wow Lord that was You telling me to slow down it is not right yet or wait on Me to clear the way. But I think I can do it if I push just a little harder.
Well my foot is not big enough to knock a door down that God has closed and I don't have to do it myself. God will make a way that is what the Word says. So time goes on and we wait on the Lord. I can only walk thru the doors God opens and praise Him for the doors He shuts. Someday I will slow down and let God lead. He laughs at me all the time I can see the Father saying that is my girl and she will get it and come back a little bit so I can go forward. Her steps are directed by Me the Father and I know the beginning from the end and I knew the wrong steps she was going to take but that is ok I have her in My hand and I will take care of herwhether she gets ahead of Me or not.
So this is the conclusion to my running forword ahead of God because I think it is good for me. No don't do it wait for the Father instructions will come in His timing not mine. Thank you Lord for your protection and guidance as I walk thru this world and teaching me wisdom until I get to Your world. Amen

Because He Knows
In the last 4 months things have been changing in our lives faster than ever before. My faith has grown my patience is a lot better and I really don't even worry about anything. It seems like while I was asleep one night God did a work on my heart that has changes my whole outlook. I pray different I talk different I enjoy things of God more and I love in a way that I have never done before.
It is revelation Pastor Dan preached on seeing the revelation that God sets in front of you. I woke up on a Saturday morning picked up my Bible walked into the quite living room and opened my Bible to the story of Solomon's wisdom. I read it and then I read it again. Kings4 29-34 if you have a chance read it. I know when you read it you will not get the same revelation I did because that is the way God works. The whole Bible is for all of us but at different times that is what makes us unique. I will get something out of one scripture and then God will show you something else. Same God same Bible different people.
Any way back to Solomon After I read it I started praying about it. Pastor Dan got up and was looking for me he walked in the living room and said "What ya doing". I busted out crying because the revelation was so clear to me and my life has not been the same. I looked at him and said"Why did'nt you tell me to pray for wisdom than all the stuff I have been praying for. He said "Jacqueline you have to let God show you the revelation I can not do it for you." See all these years Pastor Dan in all his wisdom has always let me go and let God work on my heart and my spirit. That way he knows it will be in God's timing.When God shows you something or works on you then you never forget it.
I started asking for wisdom and knowledge and quit asking for things that don't matter. Because with wisdom and knowledge you can turn everything over to the Lord and never have to worry about it again. I have ask God before why don't we have a car. Why don't we have money? Why don't we have a church? Now I don't even have a car but I know God knows and I don't have to worry because He knows and He will take care of it. We don't have finances but God knows that we don't have a house to move to but God knows that so I am not worried simply because He knows and it is not up to me to do anything it is up to God. So the next time the Lord ahows you something thank Him for it then let it go because He knows. Amen

Mothers Day
What a great day God has given us. A beautiful day and I wonder if we praise Him enough just for the breath we take. It is time that we take our focus off the things of the world and put our focus on the spiritual side of Heaven. Have you ever got up in the morning and thought about the favor God has given you. Pastor Dan preached today from the book of Ruth. I don't think I ever heard it put the way he did. When he got to the part about favor he could only cry. Because see we don't deserve the favor. The way we have lived our lives and discarded the favor of God while we were wallering in sin we don't deserve anything.
You can't work enough make yourself up enough you can't do enough of good deeds. The only way favor comes is thru the favor Jesus Christ gives you because you have Him in your heart and He is your Savior. Ruth was gleaning in the field not thinking of moving up to the penthouse. She was taking care of family. But God looked down on her and gave her favor beyond anything she ever could imagine. When you least expect it your not looking for it and there He is standing in the distance pleased with you and He grants you favor.
Don't miss what He has for you don't let pride get in your favor don't let sin get in your favor. Don't let the world pull you out of your favor. Don't do anything but follow the Lord and everything else will be added. Amen

Disater Relief
Philippians 3:8
What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ
Well today is Friday and this has been a week like no other. You know that our lives take turns, twists and paths that we never think off. But the Lord knows I have been teaching at God's Girls that God knows our lives from the end to the begin. Why do I say that seems like He would say from the begining to the end. Well here is the answer. Our steps are ordered by the Lord so He knows the day our life is going to end going back to the begining and taking us forward He knows everything we are going to go thru in our lives. He knows our coming in and our going outs. He knows when we get up and when we lay down He knows our trials and tribulations thru our whole lives. He knows because that is the way He set it up for us. All of our lives are unique and individual He sees no difference in any of us because He created us. We look around sometmes and wonder why does her life seem so good and why is my life so bad. God knows your strenghts and weakness He knows what you are going thru before it happens so He knows all thingsand every hair on your head. Then He knows He can trust you to do what you are going to do for Him. Some people are stronger even though it looks like you will never make it thru you will. I can tell you we don't walk in anyones shoes but ouir own we can't change anyoone we can't run their lives but as Christians we can help each other in a way like no one else can because it is enstilled in us to do so.
If you grow in your faith and mature as a Christian ever level you go up their is another devil. Even the enemy knows your strenghts and weakness so he is going to give it His best shot. That is where our prayers, fasting and intersession comes in. We can defeat the devil thru Jesus Christ. Amen

A New Day
I was sitting here this morning and I was thinking what the scripture says
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
How many times in a week do we get consumed no how many times a day do we get consumed no sorry how many hours a day do we get consumed. You know as humans life eats at us if we let it. But as Christians and a child of God we have a promise His compassion never fails. I have caught myself at times crying about something that I thought God should do for me or I thought I deserved it. But then the Holy Spirit speaks to me and I laugh at myself because I don't deserve anything and I can't work hard enough for the Lord to earn anything Here is the whole feeling and emotion thing in a nut shell. We don't go by emotions or feelings or how much we do for the Lord we live by faith and we walk in the goodness and mercy He has for us. Sometimes I am like a spoiled brat kicking my feet because that is what I want and I want it now. But as I have grown spiritually I know now that I can not manulate God into anything. As my spirit man grows I know I can do all things thru Christ that strengthens me. I know that He is always beside me and working for my good. I know that His compassion never fails. I know in my heart that I am the apple of His eye. I know He would have died for me if it had only been for me. I know when I lay down at night He watches me sleep. I know that His mercy for me is so great that everything in my life is in His heart. I know that He is the only person that would die for the ones He loves. You can ask me how do you know all this because the B-I-B-L-E tells me so. Sharper than any two edge sword pentetrating the heart of man and teaching the ways of the Lord.
If you don't get in your Word then you don't know all the things the Lord can do for you and that is when life will eat you up and spit you out. So when your feet hit the floor in the mornings tell Him how much you love Him spend time with Him let Him be the lover of your soul and your soon coming King. He is new every morning. Amen
