Happy New Year! Rosh Hashana!

Rosh Hashana!

Happy New Year! This is the year 5779 on the Jewish civil calendar. The “new year” is also called Rosh Hashana, which means “head of the year.”

Even though I didn’t grow up this way, I’m so glad I know about the feasts of God because I enjoy meeting with my Daddy God every opportunity He has appointed to worship Him and to fellowship with others. How many of you know whenever you take time to meet with Daddy God to worship and adore Him, there’s ALWAYS something good in it for you because an open portal of blessings is over the meeting place. Although we meet with our God because we love Him, you just can’t outgive Daddy God because He’s unconditional love.

In His Presence is everything you need or desire: blessing, encouragement, strength, healing, deliverance, comfort, miracles and provision. He’s a good, good heavenly Father! God has always desired to dwell with His people just like He abided with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden in the book of Genesis before they sinned. After Adam and Even severed this divine communion because of sin, God didn’t just throw them to the curb, He sent His only Begotten Son, Jesus our Lord and Savior, Yeshua HaMashiach, to redeem us by His death on Calvary’s cross, where He shed His sinless blood to forgive a sin debt we could never pay.

Why? So that He could dwell in our hearts and among us by His Spirit when we meet together. Ephesians 2:7 says:

“…that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.”

Oh, how the Father loves you and me! As a believer in the New Covenant, I don’t “have to” practice the feasts, I get too. And boy has our lives changed as we move in lockstep with Daddy God’s rhythm and timetable.We have more energy, joy, faith, wisdom, revelation and power to do God’s will. Life is more enjoyable and problems seem easier to process and handle. You can learn more about the feasts of God by reading Leviticus 23:1-44. A great book to read that breaks them down is Larry Huch’s, “The Torah Blessing.”

Power Up & Finish Strong in 2017!

Wow! It’s the top of the fourth quarter of 2017! We have 87 days left in 2017.  How are you coming along with finishing your goals? If you’re moving right along, great! Stay focused. Keep moving forward.

If you’re stuck and not quite sure of the right next move, here are 3 tips that can help you resume moving in the right direction to achieving your 2017 goals.

1) Go back and review your top goals to revive your passion and commitment. Why did you choose your goals in the first place? What was the payoff or outcome you imagined? Who will benefit once you finish your goal?

If you don’t already have this, get a picture of your finished goal. For example, if you’re writing a book, take a picture of your book cover or of a book similar to the one you’re writing. [Read more…]

No Fear Here: Fighting to Fulfill Your Prophetic Destiny

imagesA Word of Encouragement for You

You are not alone. Even though at times you may feel this way, do not be deceived by your unsanctified emotions like fear, doubt, unbelief and self-pity. God loves you. Intercessors are picking you up in the spirit and praying for your strength. So keep right on moving forward to fulfill your prophetic destiny and resist those lying thoughts and feelings.

Fulfilling your prophetic destiny will not come without resistance, because you have an adversary that knows once you come into a greater awareness and revelation of WHO YOU ARE, you will diminish his kingdom of darkness, by your light. [Read more…]

Run Into Your War Room & Pray Now

MV5BMTYyNTUxMjQwNF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNDY5MDIwNTE@._V1_SX214_AL_The #1 movie right now at the box office is “War Room”, which was sorely underrated by movie critics at first. It’s about the relevance and power of prayer to change people and situations when all seems lost. In the movie, a seasoned intercessor teaches a budding intercessor how to war in prayer to save her marriage and family. The novice intercessor learns how to set up what’s called a war room (or prayer closet), and the only ammunition she uses to save her marriage is the infallible, inerrant, incorruptible, eternal, omnipotent Word of God straight from the Bible. God’s Word always prevails if you pray in faith believing! If you haven’t seen War Room yet, it’s a must if you want to know how to pray to protect your family. Here’s the link to the check it out: War Room Trailer

Prayer is one of my passions. The other is worship dance. They flow together as a part of the river of thanksgiving, praise, worship that I get to lavishly minister unto the Lord because of my love for Him. It’s in my secret place that I encounter the glorious manifest presence of my God. This 3-fold cord of thanksgiving, praise and worship naturally flows into the violent, fervent river of intercession, where Holy Spirit leads me in strategic prayer on behalf others and for specific situations until I hit the bullseye.

Setting Healthy Boundaries for You

One thing that I have learned in life is that people treat you the way you let them. When you set healthy boundaries for yourself, people will treat you accordingly. Then you will attract the right people into your life. Everyone deserves dignity and respect.

41tDli5g5GL._AA160_If no one ever modeled what it looks like to set healthy boundaries for yourself, read the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Highlight the Scriptures that show how Jesus set healthy boundaries for himself and how He responded to others. Also, read the books of St. John and 1, 2 and 3 John to learn how much God loves you.

Holy Spirit rocked my world when I read what Jesus said in John 17:26 about God loving me just as much as Him. Initially, I thought believing this revelation was prideful because I had an inferiority complex. When you know the truth of God’s Word, it will set you free! (John 8:32) [Read more…]

Overcoming Procrastination

I hope you’ve gotten off to a great start in 2014. You’ve probably already dusted off your goals from last year and added new ones for this year. Did you find yourself dragging goals from two, five or ten years ago into the new year?

If so, you may be struggling with procrastination. It held me back from moving forward in areas like going back to college or simply taking a much needed vacation. Procrastination stems from many sources, such as fear of success or failure, indecision, perfectionism, laziness or anger.

According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary,  procrastinate means to put off intentionally the doing of something that should be done today. The bible says, “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. (James 4:17) [Read more…]
