Enlarge My Territory

It's been a while since I've been on my blog-and let me start out by saying, "Merry Christmas" to all and a "Happy New Year"!  Well, where should I start: Family is doing well and growing in the Lord, He's changing lives, one soul at a time.  My brother and his ex-wife are back together, (he's more happier and calmer now). My sister has had some health challenges, but is fairing well.  Mom is more settled and she still worries about her children, or shall I say that she prays more!  Oh, and my ministry and sewing business has truly increased!  When "Jabez" prayed and asked the Lord to enlarge his territory, his prayer had gotten answered.  2013 will be an even busier one for me, especially in the area of weddings, Weddings, and more WEDDINGS! I thank the Lord for allowing me to cause someone else's special day a success. Praise God!  I truly must balance my time with ministry-prayer and some speaking engagements as well as making clothes for people: staying focused is key, and getting priorities in order is a must, and might I add, spending less time on the phone and hanging out with associates will eventually come to a slow down, if not a halt. These are just some of the things that I wanted to share, and yes, there's more, but I must stop.  As my bishop would say, "That's enough revelation for now"!

Prayer of Jabez:

     "Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my border,
     and that Your hand might be with me, and You would keep me
     from evil so it might not hurt me!"
     And God granted his request.
     1Chronicles 4:10 Amp

Be Still And Know that God Loves You

I've been out for a while-taking care of business; life was challenging me and me, rising above the challenge and conquering some goals and just some things that wasn't a goal but became one anyway.  I had learned to master some things before it mastered me!

Today, I decided to take a few moments to sit and write some of my thoughts on this blog.  As I gather my thoughts together I'm listening to a worship CD by Shikinah Glory, "Live": quietly with no television on, no phone calls (turned the ringer off), just listening to what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to me for today.

The Lord started speaking to me about some things that I need to address, get busy on, and continue to "plow" with prayer.  Remaining focus is the key to not getting sidetracked or off the path to your destiny; for that matter, even for what you have allocated to do for that day!  You know, I tweeted about this breifly: When was the last time you turned the tv off and gotten quiet?  When was the last time you picked up your bible and read that verse and meditated on that scripture?  Is it that too much silence disturbs you?  Maybe the Lord wants you to just stop talking and arguing, and "gotta give my opinion", and just be quiet (or as our parents would say, "Shut up and listen")!  He's trying to instruct you about your child.  He wants to give you advice about your business.  The Lord cares about what you care about and just want to let you know it--He's got the situation under control!  He even wants to counsel you about your marriage.  Will you take time to listen to Him and hear what He has to say to you about your circumstance/situation?

Let the Peace of God be your Blanket today! 
Let the Love of God be your Covering today!
Let the Counsel of God be your Comforter today!
Let the Messiah, be your BFF today!

So, what am I saying?  Just get quiet, be still, stop talking and allow the Holy Spirit of God to speak to you today.  He only wants what's best, great, grand, tremendous, awesome for you, to you, through you, and because of you!

I'm reminded of the show, "Touch by an Angel" and the words that come to mind is, "God Loves You!"
He really does.

God Loves You!
