Genuineness of Your Faith

Diamonds, I just wanted to thank God for the testing and purifying of my faith this week through the fire. My flesh wanted to be exalted but in the midst of the test, I remembered a word that reminded me of the providence of God. The providence of God informs my faith that although what I am experiencing right now is difficult, God has gone before me and He has already worked out my situation; therefore, I had no reason to fear or be worried. In fact, the Holy Spirit reminded me before I got went ballistic, God promises to work everything out for my good because I love Him and I am called according to his purpose.

So although I may have wanted to act unseemingly, I am grateful that I yeilded my flesh to the Spirit because I didnt want to give off the wrong impression to the witness over the phone. I also stated that I forgave those who found fault with me although the cause was unjust. You can't tell me that God was present and the peace I experienced was nothing but other-worldly.

The enemy can attack my finances but all he was able to prove was that I depend on God and not how much money I have in my bank account. Hallelujah!

The Lord will provide just as He has done prior.

Well, until next time beloveds!

Sincerely,
Rev. Dana

Today, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season. The lenten season is observed to better appreciate the death, and resurrection of Christ through self-examination, repentance, prayer, fasting, and self-denial. In addition, Ash Wednesday has another significant meaning for me. It was on this day, Ash Wednesday that the Lord brought me out of my induced coma in 2000, March 8th to be exact. Prior to that, I could only recall seeing my brother the night of the fire  in January who accompanied me in the ambulance while being transported to what was then called UMDNJ in Newark, NJ. On that Ash Wednesday, I can remember seeing both my grandmother and my mommy sitting in my hospital room. Grandma holding a can of Pepsi, and mommy doing something with my feet, lol. Probably clipping my toe nails. There is also that taste of chicken broth or soup I will never forget fed to me intravenously along with other fluids to sustain me while I was in a coma. Its been 16 years fr...

Diamonds,  your focus should never be to rub elbows with those in power, but to humbly serve in the capacity He has called you! Watch beloved, in due season, God will exalt you to places and positions that you thought was dependent on others! However, there is some truth to this.....the right Person in fact, is the one who called you to your position of purpose in first place--Jesus! Keep your eyes and your undivided attention on Him! If He said it, believe it! You can ALWAYS take God at His word! #BeKneeDeepInService #GodWillRewardYourFaithfulness #HeWillPlaceYouInThePresenceOfKings #StayInThePresenceofGod

I thought of you when I read this quote from "Emboldened: A Vision for Empowering Women in Ministry" by Tara Beth Leach, Scot McKnight - "Sisters in Christ, it is my hope that you lead, teach, preach, shepherd, evangelize, and equip in the way that only you—in the Spirit—can do. And do it with confidence; do it with gusto." Start reading this book for free: http://a.co/5xV6BZk
