I Can Be

1Cor9:22-23 22 Among the weak in faith I become weak like one of them, in order to win them. So I become all things to all people, that I may save some of them by whatever means are possible. 23 All this I do for the gospel’s sake, in order to share in its blessings. (GNT) I love this scripture because it really speaks to the heart of knowing that Daddy is willing to be whatever he needs be to win your heart. In this scripture we see him pursue the heart of his children by placing himself in their shoes. Isn’t it like Daddy to go beyond just to show that he loves us? What a great Daddy that we have that he is willing to place himself in whatever position we are in so that we can win. What an act of pure selflessness.

Prayer: Daddy thank you that you love us so much that you are willing to place yourself where we are just to show your love towards us. That you are willing to come to our level that we may obtain and understand your love and benefit from the value of your selflessness. We thank you that in our weakness you become weak so that we may gain strength, thank you that you are willing to give us the blessing of your gospel no matter what level we may be on. Thank you that you are willing to go to any lengths to save us and establish a relationship with us In JESUS name. AMEN

I Won’t Argue Any More

Psalms 119:114 You are my defender and protector;I put my hope in your promise. Who is defending you? Who argues your case? If you say me then you have told Daddy that his defense is not good enough. Stop trying to defend what you truly don’t understand. Just because people said you are out of order, not in compliance, or crazy for believing. You don’t have to defend GOD he can do that himself and you don’t have to defend you he will do that for you too. Today rest in the hope that GOD has given you and allow Daddy to settle all argument concerning you, trust me can do it better and more effectively than you every could think or image to do it.

Prayer: Daddy today we lay every argument against us at your feet to defend. We know there are no amount of words that can bring clarity or justice to the arguments that are being brought up against us by the enemy and people, but we do know that in you there is hope and defense. Daddy no longer will we take over and do the job your didn’t call us to do. Today day we declare: no defense, no dialog, no distractions. We will no longer become engaged in conversations that you are growing us in and pruning in. You are our defender and protector and in you we take refuge. In Jesus Name. AMEN

Prayer Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church Charleston, SC

I am sure you all have become aware of what happen last night in Charleston, SC at a church that was in the mist of prayer. Today with a heavy heart I seek to pray not just for this church and those affected by this event,  but the body of Christ. No longer can we sent in the corner observing the news, praying our simple prayers, we must take heed to the posture we should have as Children of GOD. So many times we see evidence of the return of Christ and this one is clearly one. When a person has the boldness to come in and sit for an hour in the mist of the word and prayer and not get convicted by their thought action or no one discern the enemy in the house of GOD we have to do something and quickly. It’s time to get back on our post of prayer and cover the body of Christ and this nation in the blood of Jesus. We have to pray for wisdom and we have to get.  #emauelame #prayer

Prayer: Daddy we know that there is nothing that happen on this earth that you are not aware of and because of that we know that you are aware of the heavy hearts of those affected by this horrible event. Daddy allow those affected to find peace and comfort in you. Let help their hearts not to harden towards a race or person, but become soft to the need of your love and sharing your love. Daddy let our nation see this as a call to draw closer to you, and the body of Christ to surrender to the ear of your instructions on what to do. Daddy help us to go into prayer with hearts of intercession realizing that we need more than just answers, we need equipment to fight the enemy with wisdom and not just emotions. Daddy help the body to know it’s time to unite and not fight. It’s time that we stand up in your standards instead of blending in with the world. Daddy you said in your word: if your people who are called by your name shall humble themselves, repent, and turn from their evil ways you will hear them and heal their land. Daddy we aren’t just asking you to hear us or heal us, we ask that you pour out your presence that we may bask in your glory and gain wisdom and insight on what posture we should have. Daddy we lift up every leader, minister, pastor, and family in the body of Christ. We lift up our nation’s leaders as they decide on what to do so this will not happen again or help in the aiding on how to prevent this from happening again. Give them wisdom on the direction they should take from the investigation to the conviction of the crime. Daddy we bind up the spirit of hate and fear, In the name of Jesus. Daddy we ask for the release of your boldness, the power of your love, the peace that surpasses our understanding, the comfort that settles all arguments and thoughts of the enemy, and the assurance of knowing that you will provide victory. Daddy remind the body of Christ that we do not war against flesh and blood, but principalities of wickedness, evil spirits, and the plans and schemes of the enemy. Daddy equip us with instructions on what position we should have as we deal with this and may more attacks on the body of Christ. Daddy we are well aware this has nothing to do with race, but with your name. This has nothing to do with a person, but a spirit and plan of the enemy. Daddy we know that no matter what your glory will prevail. Daddy we thank you for your wisdom, we thank you for the blood of Jesus, but mostly we thank you that your word will not return to us void. In JESUS Name. AMENAME red-black-green Sheild

I Can Change

Roman 12:2 (ERV) Don’t change yourselves to be like the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for you. You will be able to know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect. 

I don’t know about you, but when change is in my vocabulary I always seek to change based on the world standards than Daddy’s standards. I know… I know as a Daughter of Daddy shouldn’t I seek his standards first. Of course! When I change or measure my change based on the world standards they never last long. I mean think about about many New Resolutions  you made   or even think about the habits you wanted to change based upon world measurements…How long did they last? Yeah mines didn’t last that long either, or they have last but with little slip ups here and there. But when I realize that the change I wanted  to make could not be successful based on the measurements  of the world that’s when I got the revelation that change must come from Daddy. Daddy has to be our measurement of how we change and he even gives us a formula on how to change to his standards and not the worlds. The formula is “LET GOD.” That seems simple I am sure, but is it truly? Let’s examine the words “LET GOD” this simply means that we take our will and surrender it to GOD. Our bodies become willing vessels to the actions, thoughts, and obedience to Daddy’s word. We transform from a selfish mindset to a selfless one. We surrender what is even in our control to the submission of GOD’s control daily. So is it simple?!? YES! Is it easy?!? NO. Because Paul reminds that daily we will have a battle of flesh vs. spirit. Paul says”  that the things we shouldn’t do we find ourselves doing, but the things that we should do we have a hard time doing. Then he says we have to die daily from our flesh and pick up the mantel of the spirit of GOD. The more I think about change based on the WORD alone it seems impossible. But nothing is impossible in Daddy and that’s why he tells us in Romans to LET HIM. If we try to change based on our own ability we would be messed up. But because our Daddy is great and he is the creator of all things, he can cause change to happen in a matter of seconds. 


Prayer:  Daddy today we come to you yielding ourselves to your change. We know that change with our ability will cause destruction in our lives, but change in You causes success and victory. Daddy we surrender all. We surrender our life, that we may live for you and be use for  your glory. We surrender our hearts that we can love like you even when we are hurt by those that seem not to want or know how to love us back or know the right way to love us. We surrender our mouth, that our lips can only speak the life giving words of your word, only bring love, peace, joy, and encouragement to others. Daddy change us that we may be the city on the hill that  shining so others may see, know, and experience your glory. In Jesus Name. AMEN!!

IF GOD

Romans 8:13: What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? I read this same scripture in at least 10 different bible translations and they all read the same thing. From the KJV to the Message. So what should this say to us. Simple “Ain’t No Need to Worry.” Life decisions with the enemy’s plans will cause consequences that we are not ready for, but IF GOD is for us, who can be against us.. Let’s talk about that IF GOD. So many times in the Bible, we see IF GOD. IF we trust GOD, IF we hold on, IF we pray, IF we praise, IF we turn… then… Then Daddy will show himself strong and make us victorious. So many times we miss the formula of GOD and it is simply found in this verse and many more. IF… There are no BUT’s in GOD only IF’s which really reflect the free will that Daddy has given us to make our own decision with the consequences of his actions already in play. Let’s reexamine Romans 8:13 using the IF Formula What then shall we say about these things?  (If you look back on Romans 8: 20-30 we know that these things are the promises of  GOD and the position and promises that come with being a Son/Daughter of Daddy.) IF GOD (if Daddy has allowed you the option to choose the decision on what action you will take or make in order to get to what he has already placed before you) is for us, who can be against us (Who can destroy, take away, talk about, mistreat  Your Daddy given victory?) so many times we miss Daddy’s ifs thinking that we need to do more, but Daddy is simple he just wants your decision to be obedient to his word, will, and way and he will produce the things you didn’t even know that you needed.


 Prayer: Daddy right now we stand on your IF. If you are for us, if we trust in you, if we hold on, you will do exceedingly, and abundantly over what we ask or think and because of that we will follow the if formula of you. Daddy today we make the decisions to be obedient and to yield to your will. We know that being in a position where you take control is not easy, that’s why give us freewill, but today we surrender the free will you have given us for yours. We thank you that in we have promised that outlast the earth and in you we will reap the harvest of the seeds we did not sow, just because of your IF formula.  In Jesus Name. AMEN!

Trusting More Than Me

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. (Proverbs3:5-6 AMP)

I am sure that Proverbs 3:5-6 is a familiar for some if not a lot. It’s the verse I know that I get quoted to me when I vent about situations in my life to my spiritual mom or any of my friends that are Christians. It was always the verse that I would open when I was in a place of analyzing situations and decisions in my life. It was defiantly the verse that I read when I am asking GOD what are you doing. It’s the verse that says to me “It’s Not Me.” It’s not my place to come up with the instructions, the solutions, or even the power of the manifestation of how it should work in my favor. It’s not me that should be doing the action in the sense of producing results or bring forth understanding of what I am doing.  But it is for me to lean, trust, and BE CONFIDENT in what Daddy is saying to me, told me, and telling me to do. It is for me to surrender my heart to the word and instructions of Daddy and allow him to give me understanding and insight. It is for me to recognize Daddy for who he is and what he is capable of doing and rest in that. It is for me to walk the path that he created before I was even thought of or born into this earth to walk in faith, knowing that the path is straight and if I should get off the path Daddy will make what I cause to be crooked to be straight again. It is for me to be the daughter and know that my Daddy only wants what is best for me.

Prayer: Daddy thank you for allowing us to know that our greatest confidence comes from us surrendering our hearts to you while letting go of our will and leaning and trusting on you. We know that so many times leaning on you may cause us to be in a place where we don’t move or even understand your instructions and for those moments we yield not to our understanding or insight but yours alone knowing that you will make crooked paths straight with your directions. Daddy today we let go of all of us and take hold of all of you. Rest in the assurance that Daddy you know what’s best for us and there is nothing greater than your best.  In Jesus Name Amen!The Crooked Roads Straight

Go to the Well

In John 4:1-41 Jesus gives a woman a life changing encounter with him. He meets the woman at the well. Now this woman is not a woman that Jesus should be associated with or even talking to, but he places himself in a position to ministry to those that seem unprivileged. In his conversation he talks to her about the topic of water… (And he should since he is at a well right?) Well this well is not an ordinary well, it’s the well of his ancestors. As Jesus continues to have this conversation, He then begins to reveal her to herself, as well as him to her. Isn’t it awesome when Daddy says to you, “come know me and let me tell you about you the good, bad, and ugly?” I think so, for him to take time out “his what we think busy schedule,” to have intimate moments with us is great to me. But going back to the woman at the well. After general conversation Jesus offers the woman water. I love it when Daddy offers us something that we think we have. I mean think about it the woman was already at the well prepared to retrieve water to drink, and here comes Jesus unprepared, asking for water, yet offering it at the same time. The woman at the well sees the unprepared Jesus and ask the one question (I think we all would ask if we were her)  “how can you ask for something when you are not prepared to receive it?” Hum that’s a lesson for us all… There are times we are asking Daddy for things when we are not prepared to even receive or even wise enough to handle. Let’s continue…Jesus gives a reply for his unpreparedness by saying that the water he has to offer doesn’t amount to what the woman came to retrieve. Daddy is always on top of his game he comes prepared even when it seem with the physical eye he looks unprepared. Jesus offers the woman him, and a relationship with  and the father by saying,“All those who drink this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring which will provide him with life-giving water and give him eternal life.” What a powerful way to let a person know that what they have truly been desiring is found in Daddy. I mean to know that this woman came to this well probably throughout her lifetime with her bucket, knowing the value of this water, and the water she really needs is found in waiting of a promise that she knows about. If you look through the scripture will see how she talk about the Messiah and Jesus says to her ” I am he who you are talking about.” In other words I am the Messiah in flesh, at the well waiting on you to receive me.” WOW!!! I would defiantly go that well…  Wouldn’t you? A well that would meet all my needs and even the needs that I knew not off and the manifestation of a promise that I only heard about. I doubt that the woman at the well knew she needed to be healed from the many husbands that she took on that weren’t her’s in the first place. I doubt that she even knew how thirsty her spirit was for the water that Jesus had to offer. And I seriously doubt that she knew that her everyday routine would yield the results of a life changing experience.

Prayer: Daddy thank you for the well, for we know that in you we will never thirst again. Thank you for the living water found through your son Jesus and the life of eternity that comes with it. Daddy so many times we find ourselves like the woman at the well, coming prepared to receive what we expect, and in return your will reveal areas that lack in our life that you are ready to heal and offer something so much greater than we expected.  Daddy we come to your well yearning for your water, waiting for your healing that we can share our testimony with others. We thank you Daddy that despite the issues of  our heart you are willing to offer your water to us. In Jesus Name. AMEN!

Daddy Daughter Conversations

This blog is not your ordinary blog. Yes I talk about GOD and my relationship with him, but this blog is not perfect and neither is the person writing it. The blog is filled with grammatical errors, slang, and a pure open heart between me and Daddy. This blog was developed as a result of me going through a life changing divorce and the continue life changes that I face throughout my life. My heart desire and passion is that someone reads this blog and move from being in a place religion with Daddy (going to church, praying, tithing, the Sunday routine, etc. out of obligation) into a relationship with Daddy (speaking to him daily, not seeing him as a judge, doing his will with joy, taking in his word with hope and security). So ready not with curiosity alone, but with a heart to really desire more of Daddy and taking your relationship with to the next level.

Enjoy
