Seeds of Hope Nuggets

As we seek to close out 2011 which brought to each of us highs and lows....great joy at times, then much sorrow. For there have been far too many losses of dear loved ones....Oh the pain of grief ! As we close out this old year we are not certain of what this New Year will bring. My heart cries out for the children and young people of our nation. Young men and women have become so angry....They are hurting so deeply from within and are acting out in such a dangerous and violent way. Many have been robbed of their innocence from an early age. They are confused about who they are. Those whom they trusted to take care of them have abused and abandoned them. The hurt and pain of rejection... being told from a child.... " You are no good. You will never amount to anything. " Some young woman have heard..." You are going to be bad like a prostitute on the streets. " Hardly any hugs, no affirmation. Some were told by their mothers..." I wish you had never been born. &

Recalling years ago being in my back yard putting the laundry on the line....mindful to just look up ward....What a ghastly sight behold in mid flight a rather large vulture (buzzard) heading directly for me; and as he scooped down....I protested...thought from within...." Are you crazy. Can't you see I'm not dead ?" As he was about to take a bite.....My voice projected "JESUS" Immediately that buzzard halted....He had a confused expression on his face as he flew away. I turned and walked away feeling really bugged so to speak. Being fully aware that buzzards normally show up to dispose of dead carcases. Then I wondered...How could this buzzard think I was dead ? The startling revelation interrupted of you and I who profess and confess we are Christians walking in the Spirit....only to experience complete defeat in almost every area of our lives. Many times we are bombarded by the foe (Satan). The flesh would rise high reeking havoc in our lives. This is ev

Awakened by His voice being fully aware He was summoning me to the secret place. The most unusual thing happened I could not get out of the sheets....the sheets were actually wrapped around me ! What a struggle to get out....He stood and waited.....no. He did not help me to get out....Determined though to discover Him cover to cover.....Finally, I was free. Then hungering for His word...started reading the book of Genesis then came Exodus, Leviticus....hurrying on went to the book of Numbers. By the time I got to the book of Joshua.....He interrupted me saying...." Come away with Me ". Immediately as I took one step in a split second....Zoom ! In one moment it felt like I went to another dimension.....Awesome, the Logos transformed into the Rehema word stirring my desire to discover Him cover to cover, hungering even more for His word. Then absolutely completely stunned....Where did He go ? Looking all around....He had brought me to a valley...It was not a good place....no...

A young woman experiences the loss of her mother, and the pain of being estranged from the only daddy she knew. This young lady's world seemed all so dark. In spite of the darkness, she began to move forward, marrying at an early age to the gentleman who won her heart. Very early in the marriage, her only son then grew gravely ill and was diagnosed with meningitis. In spite of the darkness which seemed to be closing in around her, she kept holding on to hope. praying consistently to Abba Father. Things kept on getting worse. Her second child was diagnosed with a deformity, and the third child suffered from severe seizures. The fourth child ! It seemed almost unbearable for the young woman to see her youngest child not being able to function. What a harsh reality but in spite of the darkness she continued to seek God and to pray. What is so wonderful, this young woman learned to praise and be thankful in spite of the darkness.. Yes, there were times when the darkness seemed too muc

During preparations for a very special wedding...The bride gave instructions putting special emphasis on having a dance floor....." Allotted space " to be able to dance. The big day arrived with everything and everyone in place. Yes, a christian wedding of splendor unfolded.....indeed, a precious moment forever etched in my mind. The bride and the groom walked on to the floor allotted to dance.....without saying a word to each other: these words riveted across the room...."Dance With Me My Beloved ! " The bride and the groom had captured the attention of everyone present. What happened next really blew me away so to speak. Almost everyone present was on the dance floor with the bride and bridegroom leading the way, yet some people were displeased. What a splendid time; a beautiful spirit of fellowship and love filled the room. Dance with me my beloved.....all who heard the call were blessed beyond measure. The word of Abba Father is resounding from 2 Samuel 6:14 for

Murderers are being set free; yet the murder count is rising daily. There is a cry in the spirit realm of mothers weeping for their sons and their daughters; like Rachel weeping for her children. Read what it really says from Jeremiah 31:15 Verse (15) " Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for for her children were not. " Could this be an indicator of how we treat Yahweh (God) ? Could it be an indication of even more evil that has yet to be revealed ? Where are the Gate Keepers, the Prayer Warriors, the Watchers on the wall, the Commanders of the Morning ? Why are Yahweh's (God's) people so silent ? The weeping and agony of mothers has reached Yahweh and He is wroth ! The Breaker has gone up and broken through to bring justice to these mothers and fathers.....Take heed to this warning people of Yahweh.....If you and I continue to remain silent at this time who knows li

During the most turbulent times of your life, there has been a significant thing which seemed to intervene: enabling you to make it through. Surely, you can recall going through some situations where even now as you are reading these words. You are not able to explain how you made it through. You and I have had many affairs.....No ! No ! Not with a man or a woman.....stay focused ! It is the affairs with the cares of this world. The hurt, pain especially heartache (many have broken hearts ), and sickness. How long long are you going to have these affairs with your personal issues ? When are you going to see from Abba Father's perspective ? The affairs has come to advance you into a glorious marriage ? With whom ? I am so glad you asked ! For thirty five years, I have been having an affair with unforgiveness. Unforgiveness had a stronghold on me ! Yet, I was still praying to Yahweh (God) and had the audacity to expect Him to answer my prayers. Divinely He intervened.....snatched me

At a church service......a number of churches were all assembled for Convention. The church building was filled to capacity.....then a wonderful thing happened.....the Praise Ministers ushered in the presence of (God) Yahweh, the God who redeems. In an instant I hit the floor on my knees.....my spirit within said these words, " I have missed You so much ! " Take note sometimes we as God's (Yahweh's) people get so caught up in doing so much for God. We neglect to spend that vital time time in His presence seeking His face ! The Psalmist David said in chapter 16:11 " You will show to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy. At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. " Yes, wonderful life changing things happen when you and I hit the floor. Let us take a closer look at the purpose of the floor in Numbers 15:20 " You shall offer up a cake of the first of your ground meal as a heave offering: a heave offering of the threshing floor, so s

Through out the Bible great men of Yahweh (God) Has been shut up... Do you remember to name a few: Daniel, he was shut up in a den of hungry lions. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego was shut up in a fiery furnace. Now let us take a closer look at Jeremiah, the prophet in the book of Jeremiah 33:1 " More over the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying, " Pause for just one moment.....Can you imagine being shut up in a maximum security prison ? Having no way of ever coming out ? Imagine having a divine visitation.....Let us look at verse (2) of Jeremiah chapter 33 " Thus says the LORD who made it, the LORD who formed it to establish it; the LORD is His name; verse (3) " Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not. " Verse (4) " For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of kings of Judah, which are thrown down b

May this word challenge and cause you and I to take inventory of our lives daily lest we be undone at the appearing of Jesus Christ.....He is coming sooner than we all think....Be Ready ! While spiritual Leaders all across the globe are being derailed every other person is also being derailed from their destiny ! It is because of the sin of disobedience....deviating from the plan of God ! What are you to do ? Joel 1:13-15 (13) " Gird yourselves and lament, you priest; Wail, you who minister before the alter; Come, lie all night in sack cloth; You who minister to my God; For the grain offering and the drink offering Are with held from the house of your God. (14) " Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD. (15) " Alas, for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as destruction from the Almighty. " It is so important to remember this is not a one

In the midst of these trying and difficult times it is vital to remain steadfast in your faith, for without faith it is impossible to please Yahweh (God ). Remember The three Hebrew boys (young men) who faced the fiery furnace ? Their faith remained unmoved even when the furnace was heated seven times hotter than usual. They were willing to die for their faith ! Throughout the Bible there are great stories of inspiration and faith from cover to cover. Now it is your turn ! What will the pages of life read when you and I have moved off the scenes of life ! You and I must trail blaze for the next generations.....take off the garment of heaviness and put on the garment of praise ! Do let the circumstances and situations that surround you cause you to doubt Yahweh...lift your praise and pray even more persistently....be consistent too ! You are coming out whole ! Remember people of Yahweh, PRAISE is a weapon against the kingdom of darkness ! May this poem entitled LIFT YOUR PRAISE bless an

Sitting for hours to be served in a public establishment. My attention was drawn to the outside.....making his way on the inside, a young man. He looked like a prince...he was fine, so to speak. Yet as he walked past me, it was evident that he was a prisoner ! There were no shackles on his feet, nor were there handcuffs on his hands. No Police Officer was escorting him, he was alone. In fact he spoke to no one....did not want anyone around him. His heart seemed broken and betrayed....he was being held captive to the brokenness of his heart. Then as we crossed paths...I looked away, not wanting to face what I was seeing. Instantly came the reality.....I too was a prisoner, who has been set free ! The pen reminded me of the poem entitled, A New Perspective. I was a prisoner of my own making Chained in sin. The chains that had me bound were Fear and torment. Generational curses held me close; They were my bosom buddies, Anger and unforgiveness kept out The light o

There are somethings in our lives which causes us great pain and suffering; yet Abba Father refuses to remove them. The Apostle Paul reminds us of this in 2 Corinthians 12:8-9, he says...(8) " For this thing I besought the Lord thrice; that it might depart from me. (9) " And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. " No one knows exactly what the Apostle's affliction was, it is described like a thorn in his life: and as you know a thorn in the flesh really hurts. This affliction caused the Apostle Paul much pain and discomfort. In whatever you or I maybe going through, Abba Father is working out a wonderful transformation in our lives through the crosses we are called to bear. Can you imagine the Apostle, who was a self sufficient man ? Having to deal with such a vexing debilitating problem. He prayed for Abba Father to remove it, but God refused to remove it. Instead He promised the Apostle Pa

Definition of Conspiracy: A joining secretly with others for an evil purpose. Each time you speak a negative word or whisper slanderous accusations, you conspire with the works of darkness. Each time you allow yourself to become jealous over other people's success; you conspire to murder them in your heart.... If you allow envy to reside in the place where the King of Kings and Lord of Lords should sit....Satan and his demons takes full advantage of this, and immediately the conspiracy begins. The enemy is the instigator of the conspiracy, using your envy, bitterness, and an unforgiving heart ! You become party to murdering your sisters, the brethren, and friends, when you speak evil words against them....laying snares of entrapment's and robbing others of what is rightfully theirs. Many have been ensnared unaware, and now lay silent in the grave. Some are still alive....yet are unaware of what is happening to them; all because of the conspiracy to destroy th

Finding it increasingly difficult to breathe, my breath seemed to be getting shorter with each passing day. What was even worse....just to do simple house hold chores was futile. Something was definitely wrong, and I was about five months pregnant. The Doctors confirmed their suspicions. The placenta, which feeds the unborn baby was detaching itself; and was only holding on so to speak by a thread. The Doctors gave the grim report, should this happen, I would bleed internally...both baby and I could die, if not caught in time. They ordered frequent ultra sounds to make sure the placenta remained in tact: While my condition worsened one thing was very certain, and gave me hope. For each time the ultra sound was performed, during the examination, the rhythm of the unborn baby's heart beat was significantly strong.....which spoke to me. I found in the rhythm of the beat these comforting words " Mommy, I am not going to die, I am going to live... mommy you are

We often sing the Lyrics to the chorus entitled Jesus Is My Deliver.....Jesus is my Deliverer....Jesus is my Deliverer.....I know He delivered me. Author unknown. Yet as God's....Yahweh's people, we are still living in the land of bondage ! Check this out, we go to Revival Services, and many Conferences. Yes, the move of Abba Father is great with signs and wonders with His Word in demonstration....but something is terribly wrong; because Yahweh's people (you and me)still continue to live in bondage. Can it be, that Yahweh's people only can get the victory in the four walls of Churches ? How is it then in our homes, and in our relationships we are failing ? I submit to you, we are saved, but we have not been delivered ! The battle rages, and has been intensified; for we struggle with our spouses, and our children ! In laws, siblings, and other relatives, and friends ! Could it be that we are still using old methods in dealing with our loved ones ? Have we become complace

Young and energetic, seemingly on top of the world. Yet there is a deeper call to a life of prayer and devotion to Abba Father ! More than twenty years ago, I heard the call. A devoted Deacon, and prayer Leader at the Church took me aside, and so lovingly extended an invitation to attend early morning prayer meetings: which started at five thirty am on Sunday mornings. Readily, I was much obliged. What was even more encouraging one of my little daughters said, " Mommy, I will go with you." Little did I know, God was preparing me for what was to come. Then it happened on my way from early morning prayer meeting. My daughter did not accompany me this time. I will never forget it. Recalling dropping off some people from prayer meeting. Right in the middle of a conversation....I felt it, like a heavy thunder bolt in the bottom of my stomach. It was a severe blow. Immediately...these words resounded from within...."I got to go, I got to go. ". Putting my feet on the gas

How beautiful are the feet that bring good news. Awake ! Awake ! The Lord imparts His strength, Giving to you new zeal to continue to publish His words; To encourage the souls who have grown weary, and to Bring hope to someone who is at the end of their rope. How beautiful to lend a listening ear.....demonstrating That you genuinely care. How beautiful to show compassion and love, To all whom you meet.....how beautiful are the captives; Who are now set free; because Abba Father reigns supreme ! How beautiful ! Please read Isaiah 52. For as you go through what may seem like the worst time of your life: Abba Father is working and intervening on your behalf. There is a purpose and yes, it is a process which you are going through. May Abba Father give to you renewed strength and courage, with endurance right now to continue to be faithful and obedient in your walk with Him. Hebrews 10:35-39 is resounding saying, (35) " Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompen

The Farmer is highly motivated and filled with zeal. He is purposely built, disciplining himself to get before the dawn to prepare himself looking forward to overseeing his farm. For he is expecting an abundant harvest. This Farmer not only made the necessary preparations, but he sees to it that his field is cultivated daily. He takes measures, and makes sacrifices to hire enough workers to do the work; making sure every crop is being planted in it's correct season. I tell you again, this Farmer will receive an abundant harvest. For he also does an excellent job keeping all weeds out of his field. Marriage can be likened to a garden: it requires much, much working and constant care. Statistics shows that marriages all across the globe are failing rapidly. What is even more alarming is among Christians, the divorce rate seems to be increasing at an even faster rate. What are we to do ? Well, I do not have the answers.....but there is someone who does; Abba Father, Jehovah Elohim, Th
