I am Empress, I am woman and I am proud! (Part 4) The Vision

I saw a vision of the Blessed Mother Mary in a boat surrounded by water. When I first saw her she was alone praying, then I saw her stand up reaching to the heavens with her hands stretched out as though she was pleading with tears running down her face. Then I looked to see what the Mother was staring as she was crying. I looked up and saw a balls of fire coming out of the sky burning up everything on earth; even the water was on fire. Suddenly behind the Blessed Mother Mary I saw a crowd of people praying. The fire didn’t go near those people.

The explanation of the vision: The fire represents purification of the earth, all the tornadoes, hurricanes floods, earthquakes, floods etc. It like an infection, which needs to be drained. The water on fire shows that nothing would escape the purification. Remember water is the element that puts out fire and seeing it on fire shows the hopelessness of ever getting the fire out and everything shall be purified. The praying and crying reaching for the heavens by the Blessed Mother Mary represents her intercession on our behalf (mankind, humanity). The crowd of people praying behind the Blessed Mother are all the saints.

All of mankind must pray all the time for our salvation, for the prosecution of man for his sins is at hand. Those of us, who pray should not be afraid of the earthquakes, thunderstorms, etc. Pray do not let your faith in God be moved.

All heads of churches and governments will be prosecuted for whatever wrongs they do. Everything in the dark shall come to light. We will no longer see men of the earth as, role models (Gods, stars) but as men (people) just like us with our strength and weaknesses (imperfections). God doesn’t want us to look up to each other (place anyone up higher than ourselves as a God), he wants us to look up to his son, our Lord Jesus. Jesus is coming to reclaim his rightful ownership on earth of all heads (leadership) of the earth. In other words He’s going to clean house (clean up all wrong doings, sin).

The Pope, Rabbi, Pastors, Ministers, Clergyman, Bishops, Priests, whatever men and women of faith are called. These leaderships are put in charge by God to watch over his house and teach his children. Take a look at them, what do you see? We see man who grows frail and old through sin, with no power; strength of their own. They represents us like Jesus represented the Father, but Jesus came in glory without sin and carnalness. He was born without sin. The leaders like us was born into sin and cannot carry our sins like Jesus did. It is because of sin their flesh is weakening. We as Christians are wrong when we worship any man as though they are God or equal to God. We are the ones that burden them with the weights that they can’t carry. A man in authority almost all of the time through weakness and temptation, believe themselves to be too proud and boastful (ego), sometimes forget that there is a higher authority that puts them where they are, which they must answer to (God). Trouble will come upon any man/ woman that is the head of God’s people (Governments, heads of the church etc) who is not following the righteousness of God. It doesn’t mean you are perfect or doing right thing because the church is full. Remember to whom much is given, much is required. This also goes for government leadership. “Woe unto those who take the name of the Lord in vain!” Exodus 20:7.

Pandemic and issues of the mind

Today more than ever, I’m seeing people whom once had the ability to display self control in difficult situations, who was so discipline in their behaviour, now losing control. It seems like everyone is so easily offended. The anger and outbursts of frustration and fears is affecting all our lives. We have been mindful and not take to heart and be so easily offended by others. We are all going through mental issues concerning life as it is today in the world. Some of us are unaware that even the media with the reporting stories of the Pandemic and Black lives matters, is having an increase affect on us psychologically. I watched a video of a black woman having PTSD from George Floyd’s death video, over being stopped by the police. She literally had a panic attacks from freaking out at the officer, she couldn’t breath. All the negative reports on what’s going on in the world today has everyone uneasy. With anxiety, depression, stress, and fears, everyone emotional levels are so heightened today. We have to get a grip of our emotions and stand our grounds don’t give in.

We are more resilient than we give ourselves credit. “This too shall pass” 2 Corinthians 4:17-18. People has survive world wars, slavery, and all kind of horrific things that made history. We shall overcome this also, and it would be our part in history. We got to reserve our energy and stop focusing on the negatives. I keep hearing this in my spirit to stop using up  energy on people who are not worthy and things that’s not in my power to change. You want to be able to save the world, but there are situations out of your control and those who are so lost and their disobedience is going to cause them serious problems. To me as a follower of Christ it seems to be a selfish thing to even think about. But as my understanding, it is not in my own power or strength I can help any one, I know the only thing I should do is pray for others. Right now we’re all in the water drowning and the only life guard is God.

We all have to renew our minds for the changing times and find our secrete place in the most high our God for shelter and protection.

The Lord is with me, precious Lord, took my hand

Art by Lester Kern. Rise up this morning feeling blessed, so blessed for being alive to see another day. To be given another day to fulfill the Father purpose and destiny for my life. I feel loved and humbled for He loves me, a wretched sinner, a work in progress and I am not ashamed. No one can be for me like my God. He’s so worthy to be praise and worship. To you Lord be all the glory and honor, Hallelujah!

Today I feel like I’m on top of the world. And no I didn’t win the lottery, neither did I get whatever I’ve been praying for. But I know the love of God and His hands is on my life regardless on what’s going on, good or bad. My perspective and purpose is changing as I said, “yes Lord, to my calling.” It is hasn’t been easy, this change, but faithful it will be done. I pray, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth,” as I press on through, Psalm 121:1-2. I am not looking at my victories that I have accomplished just to realizing it didn’t bring me the joy I thought it would. My victory is my relationship with God. The only thing that can bring about peace in life and assurance of better future to keep pressing on in times of difficulties.

I may not be rich and famous. I don’t need accolades of man to be and do me. A relationship with the Father is all that’s needed to be filled with all glory and blessings; favor in your life. With a sincere relationship with the Father, you would feel like you’re on top of the world and truly you are, because only God can take you there through strong faith and letting go and surrender to His will. He’ll take you to the other realms, like Abraham all the way to Jesus, if you understand what I mean.

“God is good, all the time even in the midnight hour of our trials and tribulations.” Psalm 30:5 “weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. “ He is grantee to be watching over you!

Tithing, “should you really?”

Cain and Abel were the first to give tithe to the Lord in Genesis 4:3-4. Then Abraham Genesis 4:17-20, Jacob Genesis 28:22, Moses Deuteronomy 12, 14, and 26, Malachi 3:8

Tithing: ten percent of your income you give to the church. A practice as part of your faith. The first tithing was not money, but crop, livestock and agricultural firstfruit. It was a way to thank God for your many blessings recieved.

Today tithing is for some, to pay the pastors of the church, the up keeping of the church, to build a new church, and the list goes on. Funny how it had started out to be about God.

As a person of faith, I don’t define tithing as something I have to believe in, rather something I enjoy to do. I love to give, because of the joy it brings to me to see others happy. Making others happy makes me happy. I truly believe in my heart, tithing is to show appreciation for the blessings recieved from God. But in all truth, I can’t see our God of all creation needing anything from us, especially ten percent of our income or goods. Tithing is for our own well being as well as others. To make sure everyone in our camp is not in need of anything, like when God fed the Israelites in the wilderness with manner. We must all have, no one should be left out and have to do without. For example, you shouldn’t have a bill to pay and you can’t afford, or need food on your table for your family. To me that’s what tithing should be all about.

Just to think long ago the Church was so sacred that people would donate lots of money for the love God and all blessings recieved in their lives. Today the respect for God has gone cold, so cold that the love of money has taken over the churches that it sacredness no longer exists.

I don’t like when tithing is used as bargain into God’s good grace for you to be blessed or insurance not to die and go to hell. Tithing also should not be forced upon someone. If you can’t tithe from the willingness of your heart or the moving of the Holy Spirit then don’t. The Lord will provide all we have to do when desperately in need of money for your church is have faith and pray. It is written ask and you shall recieve, but first ask God, not man.

Freely give and you would freely recieve. Meaning giving without expectation. When you give without expectation our God who sees and know our every need and desire will bless you unexpectedly. A blessing as small as a little seed share it heart to heart.

I am Empress, I am woman and I am proud! (Part 3) The Black Virgin Mary, “why controversy?” She is every woman!

The Black Madonna (the dark-skin-colored representation of the Virgin Mary). I can see me, can’t you see yourself? She’s a reflection of all women no matter race and ethnicity. She’s God’s purposeful woman, created in His image, “aren’t we all?” I wish all humanity can see past the color of skin, stop the racism and focus on unity, respecting and treating each other the way we’d like to be treated. We’re all God’s children, and one big family on the earth.

Controversy: It makes a lot of sense for everyone of different ethnicity to want their Jesus, Santa Claus, deities to look like them. Why would it be any different for the mother of Jesus. So concerning the Black Madonna it is believed the reason for it being black is some were originally black or brown when they were made, others have simply turned darker due to factors like ageing or candle smoke. Another speculated cause for the dark-skinned depiction is due to pre-Christian deities being re-envisioned as the Madonna and child, according to Wikipedia. It can be considered African art, medieval origin(12C-15C), the Black Virgin was venerated pagan by the early Catholics and recently the Black Madonna for some feminist suggest it indicates a perspective on Mary underemphasized in traditional Christian doctrine. They couldn’t dispute the fact that even though it was black miracles still continued to happens giving it approval. It would be wrong of me to be ignorant to say, “does it really matter if it’s black?” It definitely does and to so many and also for those who racist. Our problem is we’re not able to see or comprehend truth as we should. There’s beauty in differences. A bouquet of flowers, the beauty of it is it’s many colors of the different types, but still all flowers.

Psalm 139:12 “Even the darkness will not be dark to you. The night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.” God is not coloured blind, but He is intentional with all His creation to say, according to Genesis 1:31 “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.”

Unforgiveness! “O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me…”

Forgiveness is hard, but we shouldn’t be forgiving just because of the benefits to ourselves alone. It is said, “forgiveness is not for the other person, but for you.” Then Jesus on the cross crying out, “forgive them father for they know not what they doing,” Luke 23:34. This wasn’t about him, being a followers of Jesus we must then attain an unconditional sacrificial love and forgiveness for others. God is asking us to forgive, because forgiveness from our heart is healing to our souls and the world we live in.

No one’s asking you to befriend someone who has truly hurt you through to core of your soul. Just pray to God with all your heart and soul to please remove the hurt and pain, and help you to forgive. I do know what it feels like to be so hurt, bitter, angry, disappointed and rather go to hell, if that’s what it takes than to forgive those I believed in my spirit wasn’t not worthy. But God! For the love of my Father God and his love and grace for me, I found it in my heart to forgive. But just because I forgive, and I can see you say, “Hello” and not try to avoid you, even let you go ahead of me in the long line, hold the door open for you to go through. It doesn’t mean we will ever pick up where we left off in our relationship.

Forgiveness can be frightening because you feel the person you forgive can take your forgiveness for granted or you can also be fearful that you forgive and then the person does the same thing again. Like putting your hands in fire, knowing fire burns. “You wouldn’t continue to put your hands in the fire knowing it’s going to burn every time.” But when it is in your nature to be loving, kind, forgiving and non judgemental regardless of how you may be treated, you are truly a gift from God to infiltrate the cruelty of the negative forces in world like Jesus.

I am Empress, I am woman and I am Proud (Part 2) The cost!

The world is not ready for righteousness. The reason I say this is because there’s a suffering you endure continually, an attack by the enemy that affects everything and everyone around you till fear takes hold and stops you in your path. It’s a fear unlike no other. The enemy attacks you through your love ones (family, children, spouse, brothers, sisters, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) your work, friends, aquaintence, even to your mind (mental illness) and body (sickness and decease). You cry out for God for death, especially when all hell start breaking loose in your life. You know and feel it within your heart and spirit that this is not normal for the simple reason, everything in your life was fantastic until you’d experience this divine encounter, and now you are in a constant battle, like never in your life for no apparent normal reason, according to Ephesians 6:12 ” For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

No one but God is righteous, but we could always strive to be and do that which is like, humility, love, compassion, forgiveness, patients, understanding and doing on to others as you’d want done unto you is easy to do. But in a resistance world to righteousness, if you’re not anchored strong and firm in the Lord the enemy will cause your goodness to break you with his demonic attack.

I can say it now with bold assurance, “I am Empress, I am woman and I am Proud!” But it took me twelve years to get back my faith and courage to rise above the pit of fear and the hell I felt my in. “Broken! So broken was I.” It’s one thing when the enemy attacks your flesh, which is already weak, but he breaks your spirit through love, especially with those you hold dear to you. A crown of thorn was placed upon Jesus’s head and like a knife through his heart, he watch those he love and helped deny him, even lied on him. Let the love of God be the number one love for all you have. For example, see everything you have like a gift is from God to whom you love and love’s you. “You shouldn’t love the gifts more than the one who gave you them!” The devil would no longer be able to hurt you through your love. “Put God, first!”

Not only does the enemy want to isolate you because of fear, but he want to shot you up from speaking God’s truth and doing His will. God will send the angels into the cave to minister to you where you are isolated, tired, fearful and hungry. He will give you all needed to comfort and deliver you, and then resurrect you into his will and purpose, at his appointed time. 1 kings 19 when Elijah runs away from Ahab and Jezebel. In Matthew 4 Jesus is tested in the wilderness by the devil and after fasting forty days and nights in which he overcame and then the angels came and attended to him.

Matthew 16:24-26 Then Jesus told his disciples, ” If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it… When I meditate on this passage of scriptures it enables me to understand cost of following Jesus is priceless, but psychologically, wow! Jesus wasn’t taken to the cross yet, when he spoke of this. I could just imagine the reluctance his disciples would have felt, if they truly understood what he meant by, take up your cross. To see what happened to Jesus carrying his cross, would of been a turn off for sure, none of his disciples would of followed him then. They all scattered in fear when Jesus was arrested, so how could they have truly understood the meaning, to the lose their lives for his sake. The emotional pain and sacrifice even to your death is the cost. In other words you are up against an invisible enemy you can’t see and you have to be able to put your faith and trust in God for guidance through it all, surrender. Like walking through a pitch black forest not knowing what’s going to jump out at you to harm you. Taking that leap of faith, for the shield and guidance of God that if you do die, you’re guaranteed to go to heaven.

I am Empress, I am woman and I am proud!

I know now who I am in Him, my God. Every faithful woman is a queen, once you truly know who you are and to whom you belong. We are all Marie’s like the virgin Mary the mother of Jesus. When you are called into service of the Lord, no matter what your servitude may be, like to have children, (divine children) are children born specifically for the purpose of God by a miracle like Isaac, Samuel, and Jesus, adopt, take care of foster children, be a nurse for the sick, elderly, homeless and dying. A calling to be a nurture in the spirit like Mother Theresa and so many women in the past as well as today. A world changer especially caring for those who are less fortunate. The chosen women of God.

Twenty-six years ago on a retreat I had a what I call The Vision of Love. The Blessed Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus came to me. Faith follower of the Pentecostal church who was taught Jesus is the only way to heaven and God, no others and I believed it strongly. The Catholic faith is idolatry all abomination according to the gospel in the book of Acts. So Mary meant nothing besides being the mother of Jesus. And so it was in my heart, no importance just a woman. The retreat I attended had others I didn’t know personally, some were there for the same reason I was and others were there to be like nurses to help us on this divine experience. And there was this one woman one night called Mommsey, I remember being very much annoyed by her repeatedly saying this unfamiliar pray about Mary. I thought to myself of the scripture I’ve learned in the Pentecostal church, no one goes to the father except through Jesus. He’s the way the truth and the life, John 14:6. I was praying she’d stop this abomination, it was affecting my peace. It really disturb me so much that I believed it was part of the devil way to block me from my spiritual path I was on.

It was sometime at night while asleep, I dreamth myself and the other women were in a cave and we were all dying. Dressed in all white we were glowing bright and then dimming back to normal. But every time we’d dimmed back to normal light you can see our skeleton glowing through the white of our clothing. It was like lightening flashing on and off. I could see myself outside of my body looking at what’s happening to me and then suddenly the light in me brightened so much it ripped through my flesh and came through the center of my chest and I died. I knew I died because I was floating, it felt like my body was floating up, all the way into the darkness of space towards the stars in the night sky. Then I heard a voice calling out to me to take as many souls up with me from in the darkness that is on earth and there was millions of people crying and reach out to me and I tried with all my might to grab hold to as much people as I can. I was heading straight up to the sun, I could feel the warmth of the wind like a cool summers day breeze on my cheeks as I ascends further, then there she was, out of no were, she just appeared in the most beautiful, loving, peaceful and inviting rays of light. Actually she was the light herself. With no color tone she looked like someone took light and shape it into the form of a woman. She was glowing, dress in the colors of the sky, blue and white. Like Paul on Damascus road when thrown off his house by a bright light, the same happened to me, all the people I brought with me out of the darkness disappeared and it was just us both. She spoke to me telepathically and from then till now my life has changed drastically and to this day I haven’t ever been the same..

See the crown in this picture, I had my little brother an aspiring artists twenty-six years ago drew the crown according to my description. He came close, but Her crown was made of gold and diamond unlike anything you’d ever see in this world. She took it off her head and give it to me. Makes me cry every time I think of it, because I wasn’t  worthy of it at all, especially the way I felt about her.  But she said I am her and then continue by handing over her baby that was in her arms and charged me to take care of him. The baby was Jesus and I felt like I had the whole world in my arms. And I will end here because this is a very long story, lol.

The three parts of the crown signifies: (1) The cross on the crown mean, as a mother Mary herself endured every suffering, every demonic attacks by the enemy concerning her faith. She stood her grounds overcame it through faith. She bares the cross for all mankind like her son Jesus. What mother can stand by and watch her child she love brutally beaten and killed by people he help and love.

(2) The crown of the earth represents the key given to Jesus’s disciples of what you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and what you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven, Matthew 16:19. Mother Mary was also a given the same key for her faithfulness and leadership to her son’s friends who she was now left to be their mother also.

(3) The crown of  heaven is the unity (oneness) with God. A relationship like no other. This relationship grantees guidance, protection, love, peace, healing, comfort in the time of trouble, and it goes on with so much blessings.

“Fist to short to box with God!”

Have you ever sometimes feel so tired of things going wrong even though you’ve try your best to do what’s right? I’ll cry out to God, “where are You?” Just take look at what’s going on in the world today. I am saddened to think, that God would be sitting and allowing all this evil, “why isn’t He doing something about it?” I pray and I fast, “speak Lord, for thy servant hears You.” I would challenge the almighty God to help me understand why and what’s going on” I become like Jacob who wrestle with God in Genesis 32:22-32, Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”

God is never angry or frustrated with us for asking questions. Even though it may seem like He’s silent to our cries of frustrations, He’s giving us time to figure out the answers that sometimes is right before us, but to hurt and frustrated to acknowledge. He did say, “ask and you shall recieve,” Matthew 7:7-8. God doesn’t react to our actions like we do to each others. He’s God, not man, and His ways are not like ours according to Isaiah 55:8-9

I cry at the thought we’d ever believe that God is some where so far we can’t reach Him, especially in the time of trouble. Love for God and others is when He’s most complete in us, that we can find peace in the most turmoil situations, like the lost of a loved one. To be complete in Him is to be like Jesus. To have faith and trust in whatever is His will. Frustration, anger and hatred separates us from God, not Him from us. God is always with us.

God is always behind the scenes working in our favor regardless of our emotions and belief. We must trust and believe that all things work for our good if we’d just trust in Him. He’s good all the time, even in the bad.

Covid-19 has become the world’s road of Damascus ( conversion road)

Today, I was thinking of how much everything about life as we’ve known it to be has now all changed because of Covid-19. The limitations of how much people are allowed to gather together, wearing of masks, boarders closures, we can’t travel like we use to, businesses are closing down, the isolation, people are frustrated, and scared and the lists goes on.

When I thought about Saul on the road to Damascus, it reminded me many of us who were so busy about our own will and determination like Saul and here comes covid-19 and stop us in our tract like when Paul was thrown off his horse by the blinded light.

“After all, maybe like Saul, God is talking to us.”
