As I laid in bed one morning, I was thinking of how the Lord operates. God is a God of overflow and abundance. God is currency and currency functions or operates in a continuous flow or movement. It is not stuck or stagnate. There is no time to resist but persist through opposition and the difficulties of life.
What are the patterns, beliefs, behaviors or mindsets that’s keeping you stuck or stagnate in your life? What resistance are you experiencing? Do you feel like the world is constantly moving but you’re standing still? What cycles keep you spinning your wheels while you exhaust your energy?
Take time to analyze your life. What do you need to change? Is there any fears attached to your thinking or actions? Bring those fears or insecurities to the Lord in prayer. Consult with the Father. Allow the Lord into the intimate areas where you feel or want to control everything. Be honest with yourself. Are there areas where you want to lead your life without the wisdom and direction of God? Are you rebellious or stubborn? The Lord cannot work in any areas of your life where you will not let Him in.
Call on the name of the Lord for help in those areas. Where you are weak, He is strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10 It’s not always about praying and petitioning your request before the Lord. Sometimes, you just have to be still and listen. Wait patiently for direction, a new idea, a plan, or a solution. While you wait, continue to move forward in action. Faith without works is dead. James 2:14-26
It’s within the stillness you can hear His voice, not only physical silence but mentally and emotionally too. Do you have racing thoughts? Are you dealing with confusion and chaos in your mind? Pay attention to what you listen or watch that will rob or steal your peace. Guard your heart and mind. Set boundaries with the people around you. You may not be able to control your whole environment but you can decrease the amount of unnecessary stress or tension by not entertaining or participating in the other people’s drama or issues; in other words, mind your business.
Remain consistent in prayer and begin to make the changes needed. It’s a gradual process so be patient and take the steps needed to change and shift your life. Stay focused and seek clarity.
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer.

The resurrection of Christ is the most miraculous experience seen by men. The sacrifice of the Lord is the provision made for mankind to be set free from the law of sin and death.
After Jesus was crucified, Mary Magadalene approached the sepulche and noticed the body of Jesus was gone, she wept until she saw two angels in white sitting where Jesus laid. She turned around but did not recognize Jesus until he spoke to her.
In John 20:15-17, it reads:“ Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.”Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.”
Why did Jesus refuse for Mary to touch or cling to him? For some reason I’ve been contemplating this intricate detail for the past few weeks. I reflected back to the woman with the issue of blood for twelve years. Jesus felt virtue leave his body after the woman touched the hem of his garment. It was by faith that made her whole.
Jesus did not allow Mary to touch him until after he ascended to the Father. When Jesus returned, he allowed Thomas, one of the disciples, to touch his wounded hands and his pierced side due to his lack of belief.
John 20:24
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
John 20:27-29
Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Unfortunately, our culture has more false prophets than we can count and misleading people by what they perceive in their own minds.
I have wondered deeply about the details of the specifics relating to faith and the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus returned later that evening and appeared to the disciples, he offered peace upon them and gave them the gift of the Holy Ghost.
This small section of scripture is such a powerful revelation of the testimony of Jesus and the operation of the Holy Ghost.
Unfortunately, the Body of Christ is not operating in complete faith and the full God-given authority to receive the miraculous gift of the Power of the Holy Spirit. There is no power in the midst of division, fear, doubt, or unbelief. The church has conformed to the standards of the world and at times does not look much different than the culture.
Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. Zech 4:6
I definitely don’t have the answer on how to bring unity to the Body of Christ, however to access the power needed to do the greater miracles which Christ did, we must walk in one accord to embody the Power of the Holy Spirit. It is available to us. Touching Jesus through prayer, renewing our minds to align with Christ, cleaning up our lives, and stepping into our faith will access the power of the Holy Spirit to heal and restore our land.
You must believe Christ is the Son of the Living God and through believing you will have eternal life through His name.

When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 46 And Jesus said Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. 47 And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. 43 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped. 45 “Who touched me?” Jesus asked. When they all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing against you.” 46 But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; I know that power has gone out from me.” 47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell at his feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. 48 Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
Corona Virus has demanded us to pay close attention to washing our hands as well as disinfecting and sanitizing our house and environment.
It is by no accident, coincidence or mistake that Corona Virus has swept through the world. When I look at the extreme details of this virus and what the Lord has revealed to me in scriptures over the past decade, I realize how this virus has demanded us to pay close attention to washing our hands as well as disinfecting and sanitizing our house and environment.
In the past few days, I’ve reflected on the spiritual nature of God, the alignment of His word, and His desire for us to live a clean and pure life. The Lord has forewarned us but the people have not listened.
They have continued to ignore the ways of God. They have desired to walk in their own ways and create their own laws. They are wise in their own eyes yet they do not see, they do not hear and they do not understand. They walk as blind men in their ignorance towards the spiritual nature of the Lord.
They worship me for entertainment. They raise their hands in churches and congregations but their hearts are not pure. They are quick to quote scriptures but it is not embedded in their heart. Do they think they can earn their way to heaven through works of pleasing men?
In the world, they strive to be acknowledged, recognized and admired by their peers. Oh, they love an audience and love to follow but do not lead with integrity. They walk without faith, discernment or wisdom. Their lifestyles are a reflection of unrighteousness, rebellion and unholiness. They are made of a haughty and proud spirit. Their ways are foolishness.
The Lord has sent warnings. He has pleaded for them to let go of their idols. They increase in the pleasures of greed and lust, arrogance, gossip, backbiting, jealousy, abuse, and vanity.
Oh, what a stiff-necked nation! It’s a nation made of stone who turns their face against the Messiah in disobedience. A sinful nation who loves to oppress the poor, widow, and fatherless. A nation that celebrates injustice and continues to spread evil and hatred like a virus.
Do they think there is no price or cost for their ways? Do they think they can continue being a god of the earth without penalty? Consider your ways.
The judgement is upon the land. Who will stand in the heat of destruction? Where is your power now? Where are the mockers, scorners and the children of disobedience?
The storm has come. Who among you has clean hands and a pure heart? It’s time to turn away from your wickedness and deceitfulness. It’s time to turn away from your lies and your carnal, worldly mindsets.
Do you not understand that I see your heart? I hear your thoughts. For out of the heart the abundance speaks. [Matt 10:7-42]
I am not your Santa Claus. I am not your genie in a bottle. I am not a fairy tale or myth. I am not your law of attraction, neither am I your crystals, horoscopes, fortune, tarot cards, chakras and good luck.

Depart from your divination, witchcraft and Jezebel worship. Depart from your false religions, cults and practices.
I am a loving God who chastens and corrects. Why do you resist me? Why do you ignore me? Why do you not honor my name?
