Doing Whatever It Takes…

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To Wholeness2 Comments

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

Family, it is 3:35 am Wednesday morning, here in Covington, Georgia. I pray that this week’s letter finds you well.

The Holy Spirit woke me up this morning with a message for us. The first thing I heard in my Spirit was, “I had to make sure you wanted it bad enough and that you would do whatever it took to reach your goals. Never take my provisions for granted.”

In my case, the Holy Spirit was speaking of my journey to completing my Masters degree. I have had so many hurdles trying to finish my goals. It seems like one road block after another. Some of the road blocks were created in consequence to decisions that I made.

After many months of setbacks, I was willing to do anything and go anywhere to complete my goal. I was willing to drive to other states, stay in hotels, and be away from my family in order to finish this race. Nothing was going to stand in my way. It was at this point of desperation that God opened a door less than 30 minutes from my house. God whispered to me, “I had to see that you were willing to do whatever it took to cross into your “Promise Land.” Your “Moses” was keeping you from entering in. I had to wait for you to have a Joshua spirit before I could allow you to enter.””

Family, when I say I felt ALL of that word from God!!! Whew, I felt it, and I repented for my previous attitude and soiled entitlement. I am humbled that God has now allowed me to enter my Promised Land just 30 minutes from my house.

Holy Scriptures

Joshua 1:1-6

New Catholic Bible

The Conquest of the Promised Land[a]

Chapter 1

Assurance of Divine Aid. 1 

After the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, the Lord spoke to Joshua, the son of Nun, the assistant of Moses, saying, 2 [b]“Moses my servant is dead. Rise, therefore, and cross over this Jordan, you and all of this people, to the land that I am giving to them, the people of Israel. 3 Every place that you set your feet down, I have given to you, as I promised to Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the Desert of Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all of the land of the Hittites, and as far as the great sea on the west. 5 No one will be able to withstand you, all the days of your life. I will treat you just as I treated Moses, for I will never forsake nor abandon you. 6 So be strong and take courage, for you will lead these people to inherit the land that I promised to their forefathers to give them.

Family, please walk with humbled-obedience and passion for the purposes God put on your life. Never take God’s provision and blessings for granted, as it may cost so much if you do. The journey that should have taken 4 days may take 40 years if you’re not ready.

I should have been finished with school months ago, but God knew some things had to be broken off in my life. I was originally called under the mantle of Moses, but I received the blessing of the Promise Land under the mantle of Joshua.

Now, I’m ready…

You, Lord, Are Enough…

Good morning, Precious Family:

I pray this letter finds you dwelling in the perfect Peace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The same peace that God spoke over a storm is the same peace that dwells in you, if you know how to receive it.

Today is Wednesday, July 10, 2024. Today is special because it signifies that God has given us one more chance to learn, grow, and teach about living a life on fire for God.

Yesterday, out of nowhere, I started writing a Facebook post. I know that my hands were moving across the keyboard, and words were showing up on the screen, but the words were inspired by the Holy Spirit. I was simply the vessel being used to relay the message.

Side note: As we pray in the Spirit, using our heavenly language, God will provide interpretation at the exact moment that we need it.

This is what I wrote

I am putting this out in the atmosphere, Universe, and heaven and earth…

I thank God for supplying ALL of my needs.

I thank God for supernatural blessings of health, wealth, intelligence, understanding, and the knowledge of how to implement new ideas.

I thank God I can be trusted with monetary blessings and resources.

I welcome increase in financial blessings and ideas on how to make it grow.

I thank God for allowing me a season in the wilderness.

I thank God for covering and forgiving my sins, both known and unknown.

Lord, You are ENOUGH!!!

Song of Worship and Adoration

Family, why did I feel led to write that post? Why did God choose to share those words on that particular day and at that particular time?

God’s timing is perfect. The post contained a message that I needed to hear as I came out of my wilderness season. It felt like my spirit was crying out all that I had learned and also what I wanted to learn more about.

No matter what the reason for the post, the message was still the same. God, you are my All and All. You, Lord, are enough. You supply all of my needs according to your riches in glory, as noted, by the Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians.

As I close my letter, I think about how abundantly blessed I am to have the opportunity to reach each of you. I pray that you will read it at the ordained time, in God.

Greetings Precious Family,

I have enjoyed seeing so many friends and family members post graduation pictures from Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, High Schools, colleges and universities. What an amazing adventure. The joy of crossing over from one season in your life to another.

All of these graduates have one thing in common. They are leaving the known and stepping into a new unknown season. This time is exciting, but it can also be a little scary. Most people are a little apprehensive about change, even if it’s positive.

No matter what, I encourage you to be strong and sure, knowing that if God has walked with you this far he will continue to do so. One thing my husband always says is, “God hasn’t brought me this far to leave me.”

Scriptures of Hope

New International Version

Joshua 1:1-8

Joshua Installed as Leader

1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. 5 No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.

7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

Be encouraged, Family. God has prepared a place for you. You have trained, studied, and have been tested. You have graduated from the level you were on. Take a deep breath and Trust God.

I encourage you to spend a few minutes with God, every day, during the most peaceful and quiet time of your day. Ask the Lord how he wants to be worshipped through you. Stay close to his heart, so that you can hear the whisper of his voice.

Skin to Skin…

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To Wholeness2 Comments

Good morning, Precious Ones:

As a woman who was never able to carry, or birth, a child, one of my greatest joys is watching a woman bring life into the world.

I love watching the pregnancy process through each trimester. The glow a mother has as she imagines how her baby bump will look in the first trimester. Everyone is excited and praying that mom and baby stay healthy.

The second trimester mom is truly starting to “show” that she is carrying a life inside of her. She begins the process of nesting and preparing for baby’s arrival. There is a little discomfort and strange cravings begin to emerge. It is important that mom takes care of herself by eating healthy, taking the right vitamins and minerals, and following whatever orders the doctor gives.

The third trimester is here. Everything is getting uncomfortable and swollen and mom has aches in her feet, back, and shoulders. Toward the end of the third trimester she begins to have slight contractions. Is it time?!! Her water breaks, signalling that the time is at hand. Yes, it is time…

Mom pushes and screams. She has never experienced so much pain, fear, joy, and hope all at the same time. Then there is a holy hush as the doctor lay the beautiful and healthy baby directly on mom’s chest, skin to skin. The skin to skin time is the most precious and intimate time immediately after the child is born. The baby is comforted by mom’s warmth and her heartbeat.

I said all of that to say so it is also with the new season that God has been preparing for us. Spiritually, we are in the contraction phase of our third trimester. God is preparing us to meet our new season. Our water just broke!!!! The Living Water has given us a fresh anointing for the new season. The time is almost here…

Jesus is patting our brow and telling us to remember all that we prepared for including our breathing. We are experiencing joy, fear, hope, and happiness for this new season we have never seen. When the time is right God will let us know when it is time to push…

This new season will be what we have longed for, prayed for, cried for, and prepared for… We are getting ready!!!

Today’s worship video is almost 20 minutes long. I pray that you could get in a quiet place and allow the worship to flow through you. Don’t just listen, join in the worship. Allow the Holy Spirit to reveal what is being birthed in you. Thank you to Maverick City Music for such an amazing worship session. This video blessed me so much.

Please enjoy, “Getting Ready” by Maverick City Music.
