Your Set Time of Favor Is Here!

As I sit back and reflect on such a powerful week we had at our 2015 Bishop's Conference at The Revelation Of Christ Church in Charleston, SC where Pastor Lance T. Johnson Sr. is our pastor, I  cannot help but think about how good God is and how much He loves us. We felt His glory in ways like we have never known and heard revelation through His word like never before. And it was then that I realized that when you truly want to hear from God and EXPECT God to speak to you and catapult you to the next level in your destiny, He will do it!  Bishop Long  shared the scripture of Psalm 102:13 which says "You shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, is come".  He spoke of how this is the time to walk through the "open door" in your walk with Christ, in your career, in your ministry, that God has mercifully granted to you, so that you can fulfill God's plan for your life and reach more souls for Christ.  So, I ask you today to seek God like you never have before! Take the challenge of walking through that "open door" in your relationship with God, to hear His voice through His word, so you can receive the direction you need to fulfill your destiny.  There is something God has placed on the inside of you, that as a believer, is stirring within you to be used for the upbuilding of His Kingdom.  So whatever gifts and talents He has blessed you with, use them for the Lord! Take the risk of trusting Him and following Him, and being obedient to what He has called you to do. He will advance you for YOUR SET TIME OF FAVOR IS HERE!

I profess this in Jesus name!

There is Nothing Like the Presence of God!

There is nothing like the presence of God! In His presence, pain will leave, your mind will be calmed, your heart will be comforted, your past will disappear.  It is a place that you cannot describe but literally feel like you are floating in thin air with not a weight in the world to carrry.  When you really surrender to the presence of God and allow Him to take over your heart, your mind, and your soul there is nothing you can't overcome.  Everything you have been carrying begins to fade away.  And it is because you realize His power. Psalm 97:5 says "The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth."  So, even the elements that He created are subjected to His authority.  There is nothing that He created that supercedes Him, not even the devil and any hell that has come your way.  So, walk in His presence, talk in His presence, and when you feel like you have gone astray, RUN to His presence.  He is always with you and will never leave but you have to SURRENDER your will to His.  You have to lay on your face, bow down, and say your will not mine Lord!  Do it in me!  Crucify my flesh!  Help me to experience the Savior that you are and rest in the grace of your unconditional love.  It is in His presence that there is fulness of joy (Psalm 16:11).  So, stay there. Stay in His presence, stay in His Word and worship Him daily.  He will give you everything you need, the peace of mind you so desire, the deliverance you are praying for, and even MORE...

In His Presence,

Live Free & Experience the Wonders of God!

I sometimes struggle with how often to write, battling in my mind what should be said or what shouldn't.  It's how we feel in life sometimes.  We wonder whether to reveal how we really feel or hold back and conceal it.  However, I have just recently gotten to the point in life where I now realize that I need to be real with God every day and not be afraid to share what I am going through. I cannot hold back but share with others what it is to be free from even your own thoughts.  I need to be real with God and not be afraid to be me, no matter who I am around. Life is too short they say but the reality is that life is abundant and full of time to experience what God has for us in it.  So why hold back, fret or worry what others will think?  Why get caught up in our own fears and not live life the way God wants us to, free from sin and bondage.  Exodus 15:11 says "Who is like unto you, O LORD, among the gods? who is like you, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?". God is miraculous!  And He is doing wonders every day but we will miss it if we are bound by our own restraints.  So, enjoy life! Don't be afraid to be real about with Him, share with others as God leads, and live free of the ties that bind, especially in your mind.  That is the miracle that He has given us through Jesus Christ and we can live in that freedom every day. So, let's LIVE FREE and experience the wonders of God as we draw closer to Him!

Love,
First Lady J
