Daddy my heart continues to be heavy as I see the news stories, the tweets, the facebook messages, the engine searches, and the constant coverage of the death of my soRHOr my sister… Sandra Bland. Daddy I look at the video and the hate for the officer continues to rise, the disappointment of being a woman rings in my mind, the frustration of being black and educated continues to overcome my heart; I think to myself  how can I forgive someone that took the life my sister, who took a simple moment of frustration as a moment for him to flex his authority. How can I allow this moment of history making, epic news be a moment for your glory without feeling some type of way that’s not negative. Daddy my sister is dead. A woman full of purpose, life, and voice. Your Daughter is gone at the hands of a man or even  men who saw her as a problem, when you saw her as a solution. But what hurts the most Daddy I would have done the same thing. I would have cooperated but I would have told the officer that I know my rights and authority as well. I know the routine, I know what authority he carries, but I have some authority as well. Daddy my heart screams for you, for this is not a burden this is a cry of pain, hurt, frustrating, angry, and lost not just for myself, but my sisters nationwide. How dare they devalue us Daddy! Did you not call us precious rubies? Did you not call us priceless? Did you not call us your heart? Do we not have your last name? Daddy I can’t wrap my mind around the thought of this act, the evidence of my sister’s death, the disappointment of a system that speak of equal justice, but shows only favor towards certain people. Daddy this event has turn my world and others upside down. How do we get pass this moment? How we progress towards better? What do we do? Where do we go? Who do we run to?

Daughter please calm down I have heard your heart and the heart of your sisters and my people when it comes to this situation. Know this…. your sister didn’t die in vain… My purpose will always remain and my glory will out shine the evilness of this world. Daughter my heart hurts for you and your sisters. I know what she meant to many of you. I know her impact in the earth. I knew that this would not be an easy thing to handle or even accept for any of you. I know that her family seeks justice, I know the heart of the officer and his co-workers. Daughter I know what happen to your sister and all I need you to do is trust me. Trust my justice it’s greater than the thoughts of what you think your justice could bring. Trust my heart, that I will be the one that heals you, your sisters, and her family. Trust my revenge, because it’s big and greater than any plan of revenge you could come up with. Trust my love, because even in chaos and unanswered questions, my love will bring clarity. Trust my peace, because it will surpass all your understanding. Trust my war plan, all I ask is that you put your war clothes on and show up for the battle, I will take care of the rest. Trust my ways, for  my ways are not like you ways. How I handle things will bring forth a better outcome and create a movement that man can’t silence.Trust my timing, in my timing I produce perfection, though it may seem that my timing is off, remember this… I am an on time GOD! This is what I need you to do Daughter… as my daughter worship. For what you fighting is not a man but the assignments, ambushes, and attacks of the enemy. He is seeking to kill and destroy what I have created and unfortunately daughter it’s starting in your family. Daughter don’t allow what they report to dictate how you should respond. I am giving you clear instructions on how to respond and that’s by standing still, worship, love, prayer, remain in my faith and faithful, and trust. When you do this and hold fast to what I promise you will see the manifestation  of me and the shifting from defeat to victory. Daughter stay encourage know that Daddy has this under control. I know that this may be painful, but all my processes come with pain and sacrifice, but know that it’s all worth it. I love you Daughter and know that I am always here waiting for you. I AM… I AM and that’s all you need to remember.

~Love you Daughter of Mine

I Have Purpose

Daddy I was having a conversation with some friends about purpose. As we talked I realize none of us had a solid purpose. We even sat down and made a list of things we are passionate bout and though my list was full theirs were empty or only consist of one thing. Now daddy these are educated women who speak with great words and can do great things and there we were looking at their list of few things. And as I looked at my list I realize it had no purpose. Daddy my list has no purpose!!!What a sad outcome… I list  the accomplishment I want to do in my life while here on earth and I realize none of them have purpose…. they are items to create a check list of what the world expects from me…. but it did not have you in it. Daddy my list has no purpose…. how could I create a list with no purpose????  How could I feel that my list had purpose in the first place? Where did I lose my purpose? Have I lost the definition of purpose? Daddy what is perfect purpose? How does it look and where do I go to find it? Daughter the world has tainted your vision, your thinking,  and your ability to find your purpose. You think purpose are great accomplishment that change the world around you and the one you live in. That is so far from the truth. Purpose is found in me. And it’s not something you list, it’s the things I equipped you for. It’s my plan for you, the purpose I wake you up for. You have gotten caught up in listing things that you are not listening to the things I have planned for you. Every morning when you wake up I have already thought about you and planned your purpose…. but I wait for you to ask me this one question: “Daddy what do you have  purpose for me today?” The day you ask me that question is the day….I will give you your daily list of purpose. A list that changes daily, but the passion remains the same. The passion to do my will, to obey my word, to go my way. When you wrap yourself in that passion I will pour out your purpose. So dear daughter, are you ready to be drowned in my purpose for you? Overtaken by my passionate plan for you? Because I am ready to release it. I am ready to give you your perfect purpose.

With a loving heart for you,

Daddy

HELP!!!

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord,

the Maker of heaven and earth (Ps121: 1-2NIV)
 
It amazes me that there are so many times in my life where I am like I need help. Whether it’s getting my life together, making life changing decisions, or just dealing with other people I always scream HELP!! And if you are like me, Daddy is the last person you go to when you need help. You may call a friend, sibling, parent, mentor, co-worker… Anybody but Daddy and why is this? The Psalmist ask the question where does my help come from then he answers:”It comes  from the LORD the maker of the heaven and earth.” Well that makes sense… Why are we asking for help from people who didn’t even create the situation or solution to what we need help with. Why are we on goggle or bing look for the answer or solution to the situation, when we can easily access the Father? Here is my answer to that question, because Daddy will give us an answer we don’t want to hear. When we ask for help many times we are in desperate need to get an answer or a resolution to the situation. We don’t want to deal with a process or a waiting period, waiting may be the thing we need help with so why give me the lesson on waiting? But that’s Daddy, he want’s us to learn the process of his help and this may mean waiting, or going through various steps. It may mean do something out of our comfort zone or even something we know nothing about. It may simple mean trusting him knowing that wherever he leads or tells us to do will get us to a place of being rescued. We must realize that when we seek help from anything or any one other than Daddy we are setting ourselves up for failure, because we are depending on something or someone that can’t create help. The are giving us help based on experience or due to the experience of other sources that have dealt with similar or same situations, but is is not accurate help.  Daddy supplies help that he may have to create or help that may not be visible to the the nature eye.
 
Prayer:  Daddy right now we need your help! We know that many times when we ask for help we seek the help of others or things, but today Daddy we seek your help. We lift our heads and eyes to heaven looking up to you, seeking your presence and ready to receive your wisdom. We surrender our cry for help to you. Daddy help us to wait, help us through the steps, help us through the process, give us the confidence to hold our heads up when we are feeling down. Help us to trust you more, increase our faith, open our hearts to receive your instructions, and help us to lean and depend on you and you alone.  Help us to hear your voice, help us to recognize your presence in difficult and chaotic times. Daddy today we scream HELP US DADDY!!! In Jesus Name. AMEN

The Three C’s

Good Morning Daddy! It’s been a while since we had a breakfast date. So glad that you are always available to have breakfast with me no matter how I treat you with my time. (SMH). Daddy I have been thinking about some things that I thought were good and now that I look at them I see they weren’t what I thought. I hear you daughter please go on and speak your soul… So Daddy I was looking at my life. I mean really looking at my life and how it is going. I don’t feel the attacks of the enemy, things are flowing in my life like I desire, and I feel peace. Now Daddy I am thinking to myself this is a great thing I mean a peaceful thing. Then I ready a devotion that shock my peace. It said: “If you are at a place of rest, then you can guarantee that your life has become comfortable. If you are comfortable you can bet that you  have surely rest in the arms of contentment, and if you rest in contentment, then complacency is the wedding band you wear. If you are are experiencing these three Cs then rest assure you have cause yourself from not growing to another level. Never marry the three Cs just enjoy them in the moment of preparation for your new promotion.” Daddy I read this thought over and over again trying to figure out why I kept getting this negative vibe. Then it dawn on me… I am married to the three Cs and I am not looking to grow. I like this place of peace, I like knowing what’s going on, that I can control or at least be able to handle life now. Daddy I’m good. So I thought….Then I realize this is uncomfortable. Being comfortable is uncomfortable….Daddy how is this so. How can being comfortable, resting in peace, being secure that life is life, and being productive in my box, be bad?????? Daddy help me understand this….. Daughter it is truly simple. If you are comfortable where do we get the chance to have discussion like this. Comfort equals your will and leaves no room for my will, communicating with me, or even allow me to take you to another level of trust in our relationship. You begin to trust me where you want to trust me and you create a routine in our relationship. There is no room for my supernatural to manifest, I can’t perform an miracles in your life, or grant you greater favor. When you become content you limited the anointing on your life. You say to me, Daddy that’s enough I don’t want to be refreshed, revived, or restored, don’t make me over,  as a matter of fact the grace and mercy you give me daily is good enough, I don’t particularly care for wisdom or even the fact that you want to use me outside of what I have already experience… I think my testimony is great as it is. I don’t feel like I need to build the kingdom any more, I don’t mind being selfish, I know it’s not about me and someone is depending on me to get through this moment, but Daddy you can find someone else.  And daughter do you know that complacency is the key to an open door for the enemy. If you are complacent you say to me, Daddy thanks for the protection this is enough. I know you calm the storm in my life last time but I can handle this one on my own. You limit me  and our relationship. You will not be able to see how I can be Jehovah Jireh, (your provider)  Jehovah Nissi (your banner of victory), Jehovah Rapha (your healer),  and Jehovah Shalom (your peace)… You will never know me as “I AM.” You say to me that the salvation of my son is good enough for you and you want no more to do with me. Conversations like this one is not necessary because I  can just read your word and get the answers, I don’t need a relationship with you GOD. You say to me you don’t want the intimacy we share, you want me to be Lord and  you Servant, nothing more or nothing less. Although your flesh dwells in the assurance of comfort, lives in the presence of contentment, and embraces complacency; these three Cs are unhealthy for your spirit man. They cause your spirit man to die and your flesh to rise, they open the opportunity  for the enemy to do whatever to you, whenever he wants to, and it is a no to my will and a yes to yours. So Daughter how do you feel about comfort, contentment,and complacency? Daddy not so good… Now daughter, know that I want you to experience comfort, but in me, I want you to be content that I am…”I AM” and that’s greater than anything you could be, and complacent  in the fact that my son is the true access that you need to get to me, and my Holy Spirit has direct instructions for you to do the will that I desire for you daily. Daughter, now that you know what the three Cs can do to our relationship what do you choose? How comfortable, content, and complacent are you? Daddy I am not. I want to just dwell, rest, and be assure that you are my comfort, contentment, and I am secure that I will always be complacent with you…Because in reality there is no complacency in you… You are always creating something new. Daughter you are so right, and right now I’m about to create a new thing in you starting with your heart…. I love you and thank you for inviting me to breakfast, I always look forward to spending time with you. Hope we can do this more often.

Daddy

And I’m Grateful

16 Always be joyful. 17 Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus  (1Thess 5:16-18). It’s amazing how we go through everyday life wanting nothing but happiness in a world that glamorized death, destruction, and disappointment. But Daddy tells us in his word that no matter what issues the world presents that we should always be happy, never leaving our prayer post, and most importantly being thankful no matter what the circumstances. Now the last part of this scripture is hard for me. Because there are times in my life where I am looking for the strength to say thank you beyond the gratitude of life and breathe. I know what you are saying… “That is good in itself, and it is, but Daddy’s word says be THANKFUL in ALL CIRCUMSTANCES…. Whew!!! That’s deep that means even if you are in the hospital with tubes all in your body to the point you can’t talk or breathe on your own without the assistance of machines, but you are aware of your surrounds, be thankful. Even if you are in the mist of a divorce and your house is tore up from the floor up and you feel like you are about to loose your mind.. Be THANKFUL! If you just lost a love one, or your heart has been broken, or you just in a place that don’t know you are of value any more…. Guess what Be Thankful! Now Daddy is so awesome that he will take our thanksgiving and turns it into his glory, which will produce his promises, and manifest our blessings. Just one of his many formulas for us to live by. So here’s  how the formula of Thanksgiving goes: Joy+ Never Stop praying+Thanksgiving in ALL things  and circumstances =GOD’s glory which translates to your peace, your blessings, your answers, your healing, your forgiveness, and so forth. Seems pretty simple to me ! It’s hard to give thanks when your flesh is the loudest voice you hear in the mist of “the circumstance,” but when you are reminded of Daddy’s track record in your life I am assured that a heart of gratitude can silent your flesh.

Prayer: Daddy this world reflects only on the things that say you are not real or the issues of destructions, depression, and disappointment, but as your children we will not meditate on what the world shows but what you have  and are telling us, and that’s to have a heart of thanksgiving. Today daddy we lay down everything at your feet. We lay down the circumstances that say that giving you thanks will not change anything, we lay down the things that keep us from our joy in you, telling us that it’s not worth praying about, and we say Daddy thank you! Thank you for breathe in our body, for the ability to know you as our Daddy and not just our GOD, for you drawing near to us as we draw near to you. Daddy thank you for being beyond what we need into what we couldn’t even think of. We thank you in all circumstances, not yielding to our flesh, but the guidance, voice, and heart of you through your Holy Spirit.  We thank you for the formula of thanksgiving that you have given us and we will use it to remind us that telling you thank you will only yield greatness for and in our lives. In JESUS Name! AMEN

Romans 8:37 (ERV) But in all these troubles we have complete victory through God, who has shown his love for us. What can you not overcome? What holds you hostage as you go through life daily? Is it fear, worry, anxiety, lack, sickness, want, waiting, I can go on and on…But what is it? What has you in a place blind to the victory you have in Daddy’s love? Whatever it is you have to remind IT and yourself that you are more than a conqueror! You have victory in a battle that you don’t have to fight, you just have to show up, tell Daddy, and watch him do all the work. Don’t allow what you can’t control or feel like has you in bondage keep you from taking your rightful place as conqueror.

Prayer: Daddy right now we realize there are times in our lives that we have allowed what you have already conquered on our behalf to keep us hostage and bound in chains, but today Daddy we lay those things and more at your feet. No longer will we give up our victory to the things you have given us authority over. Today we take our rightful place as conquerors. We speak to that thing or things that hold us in a place of stagnate and we say no more! We speak life where death had crept in and we speak victory in the areas that say we have failed. In JESUS Name. AMEN

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

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

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!!

Trusting More Than Me

5 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.6 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
