Acceptance

Kingdom Princess! Little one, today you will finally take the time to actually realize just how much the King loves you! The blessing of His extravagant love is all around you. Think back at the many ways just this week, that He has shown and given you His everlasting, secure eternal love. It is because of a desire for relationship with you, He chose you from among many. You have been accepted by the One who lives forever.

“How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.” (Ephesians 1:6 MSG)

After this moment, you will no longer seek to invoke a loving response from people. No longer will you crave the fleeting approval and affections from a human source. A revelation of the Love of God is upon you. He will reveal Himself in ways you’ve never thought possible. He loves you completely, totally, with no string attached.

He loves you, Princess.

No matter what has happened, no matter who was responsible for the hurt and no matter when it took place, His love is for you to be healed, to be liberated and to be whole.

In the next few moments, take it in. Let your mind and heart experience what your spirit already knows. Soak in his lavish, pristine love. He accepts and approves of you, His daughter; nothing you do can make Him love you any less. Welcome to a Love that is like no other.

3 Things Your Praise Will Do, Pt. 2

Warring Princess!

As you enter the Presence of God today, know that YOUR praise will confound and confuse your enemy! My old friend Jehoshaphat had gotten himself in some trouble. He was just being attacked from all sides. He was stressed out and nervous; he put everything in his kingdom on a fast. All of Judah went up to seek help of the Lord. What I love about Jehoshaphat is that before he asked God for anything, he recognized his inability and absolute need for God’s help.

“O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.” II Chronicles 20:12

Princess, its critical that you perceive when it is time to worship and praise. Be aware of your spiritual surroundings. They hurt your feelings, I know, but its time to worship. Dry your eyes and worship. You don’t need counsel from six different people. Just worship. Turn your eyes to the One in whom your deliverance lies. No longer will you magnify your problems and situations above your Redeemer! Simply worship, Princess as He waits for you in the Most Holy Place.

The Lord assures Jehoshaphat the battle has already been determined and he is the victor! He says, “Because you gave Me praise, I got his one. You won’t even need to fight.” Send Judah ahead. The Lord is with you as He was with Jehoshaphat, little one.

“And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.  And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.” II Chronicles 20:18-19

Here is the formula for victory:

1) Praise and worship God 2) Set yourself: do not be moved by what you see 3) See the salvation of the Lord: watch God demolish your adversary. This is  the greatest battle plan ever. God used praise as a weapon. Want to get the enemy to shut his mouth? Praise! When we clap, shout and dance before the Lord we cause a disturbance in the enemy camp. Our shouts split the ear of enemy so that the demonic assignments put out on your life are confused, distorted, cancelled and ultimately used against the forces of darkness. Confound him. Irritate him by blessing your God!!

Praise is an instrument of war!

Overcomer

Overcoming Princess!

You are victorious! NOW are you more than a conqueror through Him that loves you! No matter what you face going forward, no matter how loudly your situations, problems and circumstances speak against you, the Spirit of God has spoken and declared victory over your life. The adversary is still a LIAR. He is still DEFEATED. He is still under YOUR feet. Remember Princess, he is only a roaring lion!

David says it this way:

“By this I know that You favor and delight in me, because my enemy does not triumph over me.” Psalms 41:11 AMP

Walk in Love. Live in Victory! God is committed to your success!

Lessons From Bubb: Expectation

I love kids! My favorite attribute of a child is that they know no limitations. After boundless energy and imagination comes an incredible sense of wonder coupled with excitability. And so it is with my nephew Bubb…

Whenever we go to the store or the mall he always–always expects to receive something. He does not question the monetary supply. He is neither bothered or concerned about what must be paid, how it will get paid or when the next cell phone bill is due! His focus is on the agenda: movies with popcorn and M&M’s, an hour in the video game store, and a trip to the Finish Line so he can pretend he is LeBron.

In his big boy voice he asks, “Can I buy a toy? Can we get my shoes today?” And on occasion, I’ve told him the dreaded, “Not yet.” But with each encounter, with every conversation he believes what I’ve told him. He knows that eventually the Jordan’s will be his possession. Bubb’s eyes light up with hope and wonder as he struts around in the new LBJ’s that he is confident I will purchase! Why? Because I have made him a promise. His hope and expectation hangs on the words I’ve spoken to him. As child, his trust in me makes me want to bless him that much more…

By now you recognize the parallel. What is it that you’re expecting from God? What has He spoken to you in your prayer time? Have you fully believed His word? What do you anticipate? Even if the promise has been waylaid, our expectation is still from God. Pull on Him! Raise your expectation of God! Increase your faith! He is faithful to watch over His word!

Psalm 62:5
“My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.”

Relax With Him

Daddy’s Princess!

Today, you will completely relax and allow God to Father you…

His love is perfect and flawless towards you and His heart beats in cadence with yours! YOU ARE HIS! He will perfect all that concerns you: from your babies down to your bills, His mind is full of you and He has not forgotten about you. Rest in His love as He rejoices over you this day!

Philippians 1:6
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ…”

There Is No Ceiling

Kingdom Princess,

You are pregnant with dreams and visions that will create endless, boundless possibilities. He put it in your spirit: now you must do it! Nothing will be withheld from you in this season. He is within you! Be fearless! Move forward!

Luke 1:37 “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”

IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING!

Reach!

Renewed Princess!

Today, He makes all things new! You will leave behind that which has held you down, held you up and held you back! Now is the time for something new in YOU! Reach for and towards the destiny that lay before you. Press, woman of God, press!

Grab hold of the gifts within you and stir yourself, Princess. Dust off the visions and dreams of your youth–when you believed God no matter what you faced. He is that same God today, you know. He is with and for you. It may take some work but the Father says, “Press in Daughter!” Start the business. Record the music. Take the classes. Display your artwork. Design the dress and the jewlery–whatever it is, do it for the Kingdom.

Come! Rise up and be bold! Go after and press into the things God has for you! Keep moving toward your purpose, Kingdom Princess! Will you join your sisters in the pursuit of Him? Shall we chase after Him? Lets!

3 Things Your Praise Will Do, Pt. 1

Worshipping Princess!

Worship & Praise is vital to the life of the believer as praise coupled with prayer enriches your relationship with God. Thanksgiving is an expression of confidence in God’s ability. And when you praise, the atmosphere is then conducive for God to come and dwell and be with you. Secondly, praise and worship is your direct line, your access code, YOUR key to the penthouse of the throne of God. It will take you places that simply being gifted will not. Murmuring and complaining will immediately deny you! The VIP Lounge of the blessings and miracles of God can only be entered through praise. When you lift Him up, He says “Access Granted.”

#1–Praise will declare the glory of God from one generation to the next. When you give God praise, you rehearse in the ears (of the adversary) His glory and majesty, His sheer awesomeness, His righteousness, and the extent of His power. Not only does your faith increase, but your teach your children and grandchildren the very tenets of worship: how to honor and value God, to acknowledge and repsect His worth…

^“Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.” Psalms 145:2-4

Speak Well!

Kingdom Princess! Today, the Father hastens and quickens Himself to perform His word spoken over your life. Now, and in the days to come, we must be mindful that we speak the language and vernacular of Heaven. Please know and understand that WHAT you say will show up in your life: whether good or bad.

The power–and authority–to bring life or death to a thing is in your mouth! Remember that no enemy can deny you as the Kingdom stands with you! His love is on you..and His heart beats for you! SPEAK WELL!

Proverbs 18:21
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
