HAITI: I AM LISTENING. I AM PRAYING!

Blessings to all and Happy New Year!

I Praise and Thank GOD for keeping HIS hand upon me!  It has been a long time since I posted, but I am glad to be writing again.  I am available and willing to be used by GOD for HIS glory!  Thanks to all my blogging friends and family that kept me in their prayers!  Special shout outs to: Alice, Lorie, Lynn, Shanita, Rachel and Mikey Ann!

This past couple of weeks regarding the earthquake in Haiti has really been hard for me to view.  It not only brought out my compassion and love for these people, but laid a heavy burden on my heart.  To see those people, babies, women and men in such dismay, pain and agony was heartbreaking.  However, to see the people rejoicing and praising GOD in spite of was encouraging, heart-warming and simply, beautiful. 

As I watched Kirk Franklin's new song on GMC:  Are you listening? A love song for Haiti and the Hope for Haiti special that aired on all networks, I just weeped and cried out to GOD for these precious people. 

I just want my Haitian friends and family to know that I am listening and praying, but most importantly, GOD is able to do above all we could even think or ask.  GOD is listening and HE loves each and every one of you!  I pray that HE encompasses HAITI with a peace that surpasses all understanding and that HE heals those open wounds.  I pray HE lifts you up and rebuilds your spirits, minds and souls.  I pray HE protects you and keeps you in HIS perfect will.  Amen!

Let us help in any way we can and let us keep Haiti in our thoughts and prayers, continuously lifting them before the Throne of GOD!

BE THOU REMOVED!

Mark 11:23: For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

This scripture has been stirring in my spirit for the last couple of weeks. During this stressful, confusing, and fearful time of my husband and I trying to find a home to rent or buy before December, I have been holding on and trusting GOD to move for me like never before. The enemy has been telling me that I am not going to find a place to live and that my family and I are just going to be homeless.

Well, I stand in the authority of my Savior, JESUS CHRIST and I speak to the mountain of fear, stress, confusion, closed doors, debt and self doubt and I command it to "be thou removed in the name of JESUS and cast into the sea".

I don't doubt today. I believe GOD. I believe my father. I believe my daddy. HE has not forgotten me. He has not forsaken me. He has not lied to me because my GOD is not a man that he shall lie. HE is the sovereign GOD. HE is the only GOD. HE knows my name. HE is my shelter. He is my refuge. HE is my strength. HE is the I AM. HE is my peace. HE is my comforter. HE is my life. HE is my breath. HE is. HE lives inside of me.

Today, I encourage myself in the LORD and I stand believing that "all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are the called according to his purpose" Romans 8:28.

My heavenly, awesome Father. My GOD. My daddy. My friend. My all. I come to you, humbly, praising your precious, holy name. I come to you in spirit and in truth, giving Thanks. Daddy, I stand in your power and command stress, debt, confusion, fear, and self doubt to be removed and cast away into the sea. I do not doubt today, but I believe in your WORD, my father. Your WORD says that I shall have whatsoever I saith because I believe those things that I said shall come to pass. I thank you in advance now, My father, my friend for opening the door. I give praise, glory and honor to you MY GOD for being Awesome. Thank you JESUS!!!
In JESUS' name I pray,
Amen.
