You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit —fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. ~ John 15:16
Last month Queen Elizabeth celebrated her Jubilee of being a Queen in England and on the Fourth of July we celebrated the independence of this nation, but Woman of GOD have you celebrated your independence of freedom from bondages?....or are you carrying those bondages?
Jubilee in the Hebrew Scriptures signifies a year of rest to be observed by the Israelites every 50th year, during which slaves were to be set free, alienated property restored to the former owners, and the lands left untilled.
* A season or an occasion of joyful celebration. Jubilation; rejoicing.

Do You Honestly Believe You Were Created For Greatness?
Before we answer that let's reflect back to the video we see GOD created man and HE stated it was "Perfect", but let's go to Genesis 2:18 where the Lord GOD said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." In the video we see GOD left off with Adam, but GOD created a "Helper" for Adam. Genesis 2:21-23 says so the Lord GOD caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, HE took one of the man's rib and then closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord GOD made a woman from the rib HE had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called WOMAN , for she was taken out of man." GOD created the woman from the rib of man. In Hebrews, the language of the Old Testament, the word for rib signifies the side of something--more often the side of a building than of a person. Therefore, the woman is at the man's side as his confidante, encourager and inward strength. She is a "helper" the word helper does not imply inferiority. It describes a function and not worth. We look at the definition of Function:The purpose for which something is designed, or exist; a roleand we look at the word worth in this sense which does not signify value, but when you think about worth pertaining to a woman the definition of Worth: Excellence of character or quality as commanding esteem (Woman of Worth) 2. Usefulness or importance as to the world, to a person, or for a purpose "Your worth to the world is inestimable.
When Adam said, "She shall be called "Woman" Genesis 2:23, he was declaring her existence. Adam was also praising and celebrating her creation. Eve was created to be a Spiritual partner in the task of obidence to GOD dominion over the earth and procreation of the generations. Eve was created with life, for life and to be an exampl of life Genesis 3:20
So now we what does this all mean? We were created to be helpers, confidante, encourager, woman of strength, so that described our purpose and our worth, so let's redifine function and replace the something with woman:
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
~Psalm 139:14
Function: The purpose for which WOMAN was designed, or exist, or our role.
Now you are sitting there saying to yourself "Okay, lady where are you going with this?" Let me break it down to you. Eve wasn't just some chick who at the apple and the one we want to slap for listening to a serpent that was not above, but beneth her--she was created with a purpose. GOD created her to be the Mother of Mothers.
Let me leave you with this scripture to ponder over:
Confirming One’s Calling and Election
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. ~ 2 Peter 1:3-4
"... to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of morning and a garment of praise instead of despair. The will be called Oaks of Righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of HIS splendor"
~ Isaiah 61:3 ~
The dictionary defines ASHES as: The powdery residue of matter that remains after burning. So when GOD says HE wants to give you a crown of beauty instead of ashes HE is really saying that HE wants to take your pain, hurt, and suffering and give you HIS unfailing love that would create in you a new person. Wiping away those ashes of your past and giving you a new life--a life of royalty in the kingdom of GOD. Ashes are sometimes left behind from abusive relationships which may consist of Verbal, Physical, and Mental abuse, but the abuse that carries on in each of these is the emotional abuse. Take a moment and think about that EMOTIONAL ABUSE can you see it in the verbal....Now lets look in the physical does it exist there? Let's take tour upstairs into the operation of our being the mental that's the headquarters (no pun intended). GOD's gifts are never void they always fill something within us that we cannot fathom in the natural state, but in the supernatural state (spiritual being) we are healed and whole "LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me". ~ Psalm 30:2 So we know that we can call on GOD and HE will heal us from all we have been through.
He sent out his Word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.~ Psalm 107:20
You are
made for so much more! GOD has created you with a purpose--You are
wonderfully made and HE knows the many hairs on your head and HE knows
what you are going to do before you're going to do it! It's crazy that
no matter what HE loves us in any state and we ARE worthy of HIS love no
matter what our father, mother, siblings, family, or friends have said
to us that was negative and stayed in our heads bouncing back and forth
reminding us of our ASHES.
Emotional Healing is the type of pain that cuts like a knife and you feel as though you can never get over it, but the Word of GOD has all you need to get over and get through anything the world throws your way, if you believe that HE is your Lord and Savior."Christhas redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us" ~ Galatians 3:13 Whenour Prince Jesus Christ laid HIS life on the cross HE took your sins, pain, hurts, and suffering and all that GOD ask in return is that you let HIM in your life so that HE brush away the ashes in your life."But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." ~ Isaiah 53:5 Giving GOD your ashes is the best thing you can do and receiving HIS crown of beauty is your reward--I love GOD's reward for just receiving HIS help.
GOD never promised us that we would not have troubles "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." ~ James 1:2-3 when trials and tribulations come and they will anoint yourself with the Oil of Joy remember GOD's goodness and HIS promises--GOD is not a man that HE shall lie.(Numbers 23:19) GODis in the business of giving you love, joy, mercy, grace....all that is good to our lives, so when you come against those things that are not of GOD open up your mouth and ask YOUR Father GOD to heal you and help you to go through remember HE walks with you through thick and thin, but you must acknowledge him because HE is a gentleman HE will not force HIMself on you--you ask and then receive.
Putting on the garment of praise is one of those things that come with faith because you have to "Praise HIM in the storm" and believe that whatever it is it's all ready done In Jesus' Name. Let me give you a classic example of faith and praising GOD in the storms of life (I apologize in advance for how long it is):
"...and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
~ Matthew 14:24-31 (NIV)
How to become an overcomer:
1. Give your battles to GOD because they ALL belong to HIM.
IMPORTANT: If you have not surrendered your life to Christ you may want to take the opportunity and try HIM....Satisfaction Guaranteed all your problems will be refunded back to you.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own
understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and HE SHALL DIRECT
YOUR PATHS." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
2. Stay encouraged, Read the Word of GOD, Meet/Call/Text a friend who will lift you up and give a good/positive Word to carry you or just open your Bible, get on your knees, and let GOD uplift you.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to FORGIVE US our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1John 1:9)
3. Have faith and believe GOD will and can give you strength:
The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. ~Isaiah 40:28-31
4. Pick up Joyce Meyer's Battlefield of The Mind it's a great supplement to what GOD can do for your "Headquarters" and put you on the path to freedom.
5. Put on your crown and speak life to yourself:
"I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13)
"And we know that ALL THINGS work together for GOOD to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)
Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! ~ Romans 7:25
GOD wants you to stand firm like an OAK TREE, so that HE can use you for the purpose HE has for you. When the storm is over and HE see's how well you held up in the storm HE can look at you and say "That's my daughter I have groomed her....And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” ~ Esther 4:14.....In Isaiah 61 scripture states a planting of the Lord for the display of HIS splendor a planting is defined as: A seedling especially one ready for transplanting.....Hmmm, I have to remember that for next month's study on The Book of Esther. GOD places us in positions when we are ready for the next step in GOD's plan for your life. You have a purpose and GOD grooms you through your pain and struggles for HIS great purpose.
(Trials and Tribulation waiting for your next move)
So
Queen_________________ are you ready for GOD's great commission on your
life-- Check!!...It's your move GOD doesn't want you in that place that
you are in HE wants to show you off because you are so worthy of all HE
has for you in your life. Break the strongholds that try to keep you
bond and put on the Full Armor of GOD,"Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to
which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence
of many witnesses." ~ 1 Timothy 6:14

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. ♥
~ 1 Corinthians 13:3-8
Sent out a text this morning "Good Morning Beautiful/Beloved Son, Remember that MY Love surpasses ALL understanding, so let ME go before you and take care of your entire day.
Love Always,
Your Prince of Peace

You may or may not have a Valentine, but GOD.....anytime I say that I pause because GOD is soooooo AWESOME!! HE knows how to make you feel when you need to feel and today a lot of people need to feel LOVED. Some of us define love through a significant other and forget that love begins with GOD and HE flows through you and then it trickles down to others you encounter throughout your journey in life. If you don't have a relationship with GOD you don't understand what I mean by that, but it's like loving your husband, wife, sister, brother child, niece, nephew, mother or father what your parents (I hope) gave you in love (positive) you take it and pour it on them, but GOD....HIS Love is UNCONDITIONAL you can ignore HIM, walk away from HIM and not believe in HIM, but HE waits to pour HIS love all over you and when HE does it's all consuming that HE leaves a fire that ignites in you for those lonely nights.
Like I said before I'm not here to make you believe, but try HIM and I promise HE is satisfaction guaranteed and you won't be asking for your anything back cause HE doesn't ask for anything that you don't want to give.....Try GOD for 30 days HIS Love is ALL ACCESS and FREE!!!!
To become a member of the Kingdom of GOD you are just a prayer away:
The Salvation Poem
Jesus, YOU died upon a cross
And rose again to save the lost
Forgive me now of all my sin
Come be my Savior, Lord, and Friend
Change my life and make it new
And help me, Lord;
to live for you
If you have prayed that prayer remember as I stated in my previous post "You Are Heir To The Throne" make sure you are planted in a Bible based church and get plugged in with the Word of GOD and learn about discipleship.
GOD Bless You and I will be praying for you asking GOD to guide and protect you throughout this journey of life saved or unsaved YOU are precious in HIS sight--HE Loves you madly and wants to have a relationship with YOU!!!
