The price you pay for being Christ like

I rather say being Christ like, than following Christ. “Why? Because I acknowledge and accepted when I was baptized, He’s in me and I in Him. With no strength nor power of my own, I surrendered.

Being baptized was the best thing I had done for my life. I thought life will be smooth sailing from then on. I had believed according to what I was told or maybe misunderstood, and that is, baptism was going to make every bad thing in life better. I would be delivered from the bondage of sin, and set free. But I was ever so wrong, and it was the beginning of a troublesome, fearful, trial of my faith in God. Jesus was led by the spirit after being baptized to go on a retreat, fasting and praying, so was I. No solid food to eat just hot water and sometimes glucose in it. But I was fed in the spirit , I never felt hungry, neither thirsty. God is real!

Everything was great like I had expected it when being Christ like, but then the devil show up when I felt like I was walking on air, just floating in the spirit in His grace and glory. I felt like what the Israelites and Aaron saw on Moses face after coming down the mountain from the presence of God, Exodus 34:29-35. As I walked in my calling about my Father’s business, preaching, teaching, healing and prophesying… The threats to my life and family was frightening and unbearable. Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” They don’t glorify the Father, they are too busy trying to destroy you for the light, God is completely out of their mind and thought. If they would acknowledge God, they would understand it’s His light not yours. You are just Hid vessel. The devil takes control over them, and they become deaf, blind and ignorant and gravitate to possess what I call Cain mentally. After killing his brother Abel had the nerve to ask God, “ am I my brother’s keeper.” Genesis 4:1-13.

Never have I ever believed when I had excepted to be Christ like, I was going to be crucified like him for loving and caring about humanity with their ingratitude, envy and jealousy. Those you love and all who are acquainted, like Jesus disciples, also are affected by being judged, hated and outcasted because of you. Your light is an influence to draw people in a positive way, but negativity also gravitates to your light, I had to learn and accept. It’s your tears and pleas of the heart for the love of those who wrongfully hurt you and cries for your persecution for no apparent reason you; your haters. God knows and understands a heart issue, love that kills a person quickly on a cross. When you are able say, “forgive them they know not what they do.” But if you’re bitter and resentful your bones will be broken and only then you die fast.

It took me years to recognize and understand that, “ even though , I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil…Psalm 23:4 and Isaiah 54:17 “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn…Romans 8:31 “If God is for you, who can be against you? I was filled with fear, doubt and hopelessness. I didn’t keep my eyes on God, walking in faith. I was distracted by the sight of the things going on in the world. Faith can take you out of the world’s reality into Gods existence of glory and all truth of “the meaning of life is?” Romans 8:28 “All things God works for good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

God bless every mother that has daughter’s who is truly an extension of themselves.

Truly lost my way going through menopause. I remember going through puberty, and boy to me, it felt like I blew through it so fast, only because I couldn’t wait to be grown up. But there’s nothing like being already grown and not looking forward to go any further, age wise. You know the older you get, time is no longer on your side. Tick tock, tick tock, the clock is counting down on your youthfulness, vitality, wittiness, good looks…surely, but slowly fading away. The only thing left in you is to grow in wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the meaning of life. I felt at times life is changing my appearance and mind once again completely different from the day of my birth. These stages in life, from in our mother’s womb, infancy, toddler, childhood, puberty, adolescence, adulthood, middle age and then senior, it seems like we never stop changing, so we can grow in the grace and humility onto our Heavenly Father as preparation to present ourselves in his presence.

No woman should have to be ashamed and embarrassed to be told you’re just like your mother, it should be an honour and greatest compliment. As a woman of God it is a blessing to walk and be seen with virtue and grace. A woman of God daughter should be an reflection of her in His grace. When you feel like you’ve lost yourself, God some how allow you to find out and see who you are through your daughter in her characteristic, personality and in the way she interacts with others. What has she learned by observing you, woman of God and mother. The love and bond between you both would helps in the recall of “I remember when,” the moments of your life like video on rewind, you reflect. I found this to be a fact in my experience with my daughter. I recall praying to God to bless me with a daughter and finally the blessing was bestowed upon me and it changed my life. I knew from the day I looked into her eyes as I held her in my arms at her birth, my life had to reflect all I wanted for her, especially with my relationship with God. And this can only be attained with an unbreakable relationship with the Heavenly Father. I believe this is not something hereditary, but spiritually. I truly believe my daughter is an extension of me God wanted to remain in the world after I passed on. Everyone I meet would say such good things about my daughter reminded me of the things I heard people spoke of me that also made my father so proud to say I’m his child. My legacy may not be material or anything I have done spectacularly for me to leave in this world, but God’s light within my spirit shine through her. The bond I have with him is also with her. Now that I recognized it in her, I have to train her in the way she’ll never depart and pray that it remains, for the struggle and fight I’ve endured I know she also will endure in remaining close to him.

Not every mother can recognizes the spiritual implications of being a mother and the importance of mother daughter relationship with the strong bonds to God. The greatest example of this is Mother Ann and her daughter Mary, the mother of Jesus. Not mentioned much about in the Bible, but this mother and daughter dual God has used to change the world. Mother Ann started with her faithfulness in God. She was past child bearing years when Mary was born, it is believed that Mary was also miraculously conceived as Jesus was conceived later by Mary. It is written that Mother Ann taught her small daughter to read scripture and she was taken to the temple to live among virgin. Mother Mary continued in faith as her mother had taught and she observed of her mother. She was chosen to be the Mother of Jesus. From these two faithful women, we are to look how far all Mother’s and daughter has come or should have come in relationship towards one another and especially due to their deep bond in faith and relationship to the Lord.

Let’s all be aware of our calling as mothers and daughters by walk in faithfulness unto Lord with love, unity and humility together whether you’re a mother biological, adopted or spiritually.

Grown spiritually

Ask yourself the one question no one can answer besides you, “is God real? No one can answer that question for you, not your parents or going to church. Some of us go through all the emotions and traditional rituals in hope some how we’ll attain what it takes to be spiritual and grow spiritually.

We’re in the ninth month, September 2023, which to me is about birthing and shifting from one thing to another. God is calling for us to not only change, but to recognize the changes we’re going through. We’re equipped for the calling in our lives. For so long fear, known as anxiety, mental health issues, curses, words of men mouth has fallen upon you, lies of the enemy, envy, jealousy, hatred…has taking hold. But it’s time to be loosed from this bondage. It’s a generational curse that has been like a ball of chain you’ve been dragging around all your life that the lord has now given you the wisdom, knowledge and understanding about. You can’t be free if you don’t know or acknowledge your bound. We can see for other, but as a child of God, He see for you.

When God has called you, it’s from the time you’ve been conceived in your mother’s womb. Everything about your life, good and bad has been preparing you for the plan, He has for your life. You may get off course, but some how or the other faith brings you back on track. You’re not like other people. You can’t do what others do and get the same results. Your path always leads to an expected end, His Will. You can’t cheat, lie, or manipulate. Truth is revealed in you alway, so you have to be careful in what you do and say. You’re a light, when you just want to be normal; hidden and discreet. Your good works is through Him, because no power or strength do you have of your own.

When you’re down, no one can take the credit for lifting you up. He sees and knows everything about you. When He doesn’t come himself, he always sends someone in your life, a stranger(man or woman of God), family or friend to speak a word to you. He even speaks to you in dreams and in visions. Never allowing anything to happen without a warning. The angels appears to minister and counsel you whatever you may be going through especially when fears and anxiety comes to over you in doing what he has called you to do. Who are the angels? The people who appears and then disappears out of your lives just when everything in okay.

“Our God is a good God!” “And He’s as real as you and I are to one another. Just because we can’t see Him, or prayed and didn’t get what we wanted, never had an encounter or just don’t believe in Him, doesn’t negate His existence. God doesn’t possess us, in other words, forces us to believe in Him. But He ask our permission to allow Him to come into our lives. Just as we don’t have to believe in life or death, but yet it exists, but so does our God, as my testimony.

Why tithe? It’s kingdom business!

Luke 2:49 He said to them, why did you seek me? Did you not know that I must be about my Father’s business?” Jesus was proud to acknowledge his obedience to his Father’s will, despite the consequences of being left behind and his parents frantically searching for him. “What an extraordinary example for us, especially as adults to follow, Jesus was just a twelve years old.

One thing I would say, “the churches has to stop promoting tithing as God needing money.” Tithing is kingdom business, and this business is about being a part of something greater than ourselves. If you’re not a true member(being apart of the one body of believers), then donate. I believe donation works for those who are on the outside coming in for the first time to church, but hesitant to join. Someone who’d show up for special events or seasons such as Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve service. Donate because you’re not obligated to a ten percent, it’s whatever and whenever you want to give or could afford, financially. It’s a way of giving support, especially if the church lifted your spirit compared to how you first entered. If the service and the congregation placed an amazing feeling deep down in your soul that money can’t buy, then give to keep that experience going, not just for you, but for someone else. You we’re hungry and got fed, now feed someone. The church is made up of many volunteers, but money still plays an important role. No matter what, money is required for everything in the world, nothing is free.

Tithe means tenth in Hebrew. The custom of tithing is biblical, so both Christians and Jews practice tithing as part of their faith. Tithe is 10% of your income given as an offering to your church.

The churches has to stop using tithing as an insurance policies, and some sort spontaneous falling of blessings and favour to come into our lives. Tithing should be the moving of the spirit within you, and willingness of your heart and mind, not a manipulation of your soul. When like Jesus said, “I must be about my Father’s business” your Father business is kingdom building. How could you not prioritize doing the will of the Father. Tithing is one of the requirement for Kingdom building in the world, and it take obedience and discipline to fulfill.

In the spiritual realm you’re required hundred percent, but in the natural only ten. Just imagine tithing being apart of your spirit in the body. Ten percent of spirit can be the reason sin is prevalent in us. Ninety percent of our entire being, only ten percent of God breath in us made us a living being. With only ten percent of God in us look what we can do and be as humans. Just imagine if we had hundred percent, then we ourselves would be Gods. We can only make up the other ninety percent by unity with each other and God. “Think about this for moment.”

The misunderstanding concerning the church and money has being going on for far too long. The church should never let money be its primary focus. The more members, like mega churches the more money so many people believe will bring wealth to their churches. When it should be the more members the more souls for the Lords kingdom. Another thing the church have to stop saying the money(tithing) is for God. God doesn’t need money, it’s a worldly thing and we all know God is a spirit and His ways are not like ours, neither is His thoughts. And we must understand just like we don’t need to feed, cloth, give Him a place to live…nor drive Him anywhere. God need’s definitely is not like our. And to think of it, does He even have needs? “Come on now, He’s God!” We need money to survive in this world, let’s be realistic. Because for us, money feed, cloth, puts a roof over your head…nothing is free. Money is a current medium of exchange for goods and services. The churches should be receiving tithe to help pay bills, the church affairs, and making sure its members and less fortunate in their communities never be without. The church needs money just like we do to pay for the things that makes life possible to survive, not God. There’s nothing God needs that He can’t supply as scripture says all things are possible with God.

Yes, the Lord will provide and He’s asking us to help out one another just as He’s there to helping us out. Gave and it shall be given unto you…scripture declares, Luke 6:38. I was told, “freely give and freely, you shall receive.” One of the requirements for kingdom business is giving. I’ve learned you don’t only give because you want to receive, give because giving can be your only sacrifice, if we truly intend to follow Jesus all the way. Jesus has already gone to the cross, we are not required to go. But we are required to make some kind of a sacrifice. The Lord provides as we bring forth a sacrifices. You see, it’s in the working together with the Lord that makes the world a better. I speak of money as a sacrifice for many, because for poor people especially, it is the greatest sacrifice, and as for the rich it’s hardest to part with, afraid of what life would be without it. You never hear the rich wants to be poor, but the poor always want to be rich. Why? Because money is power, advantage, material things and accessibility whereby being poor is limitation, disadvantages and hard work to earn to just get by. And it’s not just about money, sacrifice is also about surrendering yourself fully to His will and purpose, even if you’re unaware and afraid of what it may require of you.

Ten percent of your income, one day out of seven and one hour out twenty-four day He asks of us; not that He needs it, but we do. It is always for our wellbeing God ask anything of us. This obedience to the will and purpose of God concerning kingdom business is the sacrifice we must make until the abolishment of sin in the world. We would of never have to tithe, make sacrifices or even concern ourselves about kingdom business if it hadn’t been for sin. But the rebuilding of our relationship with God because of our separation due to sin is costing us. Before we didn’t have a price to pay. Adam and Even got everything for free and now because of their sin, we got a price to pay.

I never like giving money to the church, simply because I saw the poor who already don’t have, willing to do anything to get more in their lives and the churches are filled with the vulnerable poor who will give their everything to the church trusting and believing for a miracle to in their lives. While the rich is too busy being rich, when they would be the greatest asset to the church in helping out the poor. Many are called, but few chosen. “Don’t get me wrong, I do acknowledge there are some rich people who knows what’s it’s like to be poor, and recognizes the Lord has blessed them to be a blessing and they do give to the churches and communities.”

I started only giving to the church for the sake of thanking God. I had to pray first about giving my money for years before I could trust to give, and miracles and favours kept happening in my life afterward like God saying back to me, “you’re welcome!” And that response resonated in the blessings and favours in my life. As for churches I’d given tithes and donations to, in which I got absolutely nothing back, not to say, I was giving to get, but the fact that God didn’t answer me in any way, now I realized they had a form of godliness, wasn’t really about God, but money, exploiting the vulnerable and their faith in God.

Tithing is difficult especially in todays world where money is everything for survival. There’s no more middle class, you’re rich or you’re poor. To give your hard earn money to another source after paying bills, taking care of your lively hood and taxes. Tithing is a faithful and spiritual matter between man and God. The tithing in the days of Moses is much different than when Jesus came. Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament and created a new, through his life, death and resurrection. Let your tithing be whatever you want it to be in your relationship with God. To me it’s my gratitude, sacrifice, worship, weapon, seed and my praise. “Anything about kingdom business to me, should be taken serious, and it’s between you and God through prayer and fasting.”

Galatians 6:7 “Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow.” In the matter of kingdom business Jesus laid the foundation and we all have a job to do in keeping the progress of building going until Jesus returns. The choice is all our!

“Feeling Unworthy, but yet Chosen?”

Exodus 4:11-13 The Lord said to him, “who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.” But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.”

Like Moses, I truly feel the same way, “pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.” So many people would wish for such thing, but when you’ve experienced the evil of the devil…And it’s not just because I don’t know who God is in my life, but I am a sinner, born into sin as scriptures declares. Wanting to be this perfect person to represent anything to do with the Lord. Afraid of my sins being revealed knowing the devil is always a ready. Understanding God doesn’t put us in Judgment of one another sins, but to help lead others out from sin, as he also led us. I may not have found myself worthy to do what the Lord has asked of me, but I sure wanted to be worthy of being delivered from my sin, and not go hell. Only then, I truly understood what he was asking of me to do. Sometimes we’ve got to understand it’s not always about me/I, being selfish, but selfless. We often forget who God is, by try to challenge him. If only Adam and Eve had challenged the devil when it came to eating the forbidden fruit as we challenge God, we wouldn’t be in this predicament. “When God is calling answer and be obedient.”

Vision: As I stood waiting on the sea shore at the arrival of the boat, as they draw nearer and begun to anchor it for me board a stranger approached to me and whispered in my ear, “Captain” what do you mean? I asked, but He then vanished. I thought it crazy for I knew nothing about being a captain. All I knew is to row a boat and be a passenger in it. Navigate, row and anchor the boat, “how hard can it be, if that’s all to it,” so I thought to myself. Didn’t anticipate a storm, wasn’t prepared for it. The storm was the darkness I was afraid to confront. “Not by sight, but by faith,”echoed in my thoughts. I prayed, “come Holy Spirit, teach, lead and guide me, for I need you now more than ever.”

Learning to confront struggles takes faith being the light needed,to get through darkest moments in the storm, like the boat being destroyed and lives lost. The sea wasn’t friendly, it became an enemy to fight against. It all started off so calm, but like life, the waves beat upon the boat trying to take it under and the thunder and lightening was so loud it penetrated my soul with fear. I cried out, “Jesus help me, please. Sorry for being naive, believing it would be easy.”But according to Psalm 124:1 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, I got through it. “Nothing is ever easy in our own strength when it comes to fulfilling Gods will and purpose for our lives.”

Can’t believe the Lord after all these years of giving me a responsibility that I allowed the enemy dominion using fear to prevent me from fulfilling. But still He granted me favour even though I don’t feel worthy. I’ve been isolated, isolated because of fear and with it came bitterness, unworthiness, resentment, doubt, hopelessness…most of all disobedience, finding myself petrified to do what the Lord asked of me. It is hard to serve the Lord in a sinful word, with a devil always after you. In my isolation I had learned to understand the moving of the Lord in my life without the help of any man as the Lord showed Himself to me to be the only one I need. Finally acknowledging all the glory, honour, worship and praise belongs to God and God alone for it is He, to whom all things are possible. The Creator, whom with all power and authority over everything has blessed me with knowledge, wisdom and understanding to recognize his presence within, above, beneath, and surrounding me. I can finally discern His presence in others and to recognize the adversary the devil presence, especially when possessing someone who’s after me filled with hate for no reason. I could of asked the Lord to make me rich and famous, but that would only be ignorant after all I’ve been through walking with Him. My fruitfulness, blessings and favour is all in my obedience to Him. Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Matthew 6:33 “seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.”

Another vision and explanation: I saw Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus in the wilderness for forty days being tempted by the devil and then Jesus on the cross. Why the vision? There are three meanings behind the vision beginning with Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane: some consider this the place of pressing, like the oil press. The garden of Eden foreshadow the garden of Gethsemane because sin began in a garden with disobedience and now it ended in a garden with obedience. Like Eve, a woman disobedience when ate from the forbidden fruit tree, caused us to fall and Mother Mary of our saviour Jesus, a woman of obedience, who said yes to the angel to give birth to him, caused us to rise again. Jesus unlike Adam was able to overcome the the weaknesses of the soul, being obedient to the will of the Father. The garden of Gethsemane is the battleground for the soul of us all through Jesus. A testifying of the victory over free will to the submission to the will of God. To me it was like being back in the garden of Eden, being consumed with the fear, doubts and hopelessness awakened in Adam and Eve after eating the forbidden fruit and the hurt the Father felt when having to to put them out the garden. Jesus had a fight to enter the garden of Eden as the man Jesus. It says that his sweat was like drops of blood it was His soul not flesh being pierced by the flaming sword as he entered in with humility and submission to the Father. He had entered the spiritual realm carrying onto himself every human emotions to overcome it. Luke 22:44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

Jesus in the wilderness: the wilderness is to purify and renew the spirit within man. The wilderness is the place of isolation, brokenness, and vulnerability where we wholeheartedly put all faith and trust in the Lord to lead and guide us, resisting all temptations that may come our way and to be anchored in the Heavenly Father to overcome all our human frailty and bondage of sin that we may press forward to the calling of the Lord on our lives.

Jesus on the cross: the cross is the place of authority, power and control over sin. Jesus stripped off the garments of skin God made to clothed Adam and Eve when found naked after eating the forbidden fruit, Genesis 3:21. Jesus replaced the garments symbolically with His blood(spirit). It’s the place humanity in Christ was heightened and healed from the breaking of the strong hold of sin within man that only the sacrifice of all God and a drop of man, God in man, taking our sin upon himself to eradicate it, can accomplish such a task. God wanted us to have a permanent fix. Salvation couldn’t be done anymore by the sacrificing of animals, but by son of God. Before Jesus even went to the cross to fulfill him mission the Father declared, “this is my son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased,” Matthew 3:17. God knew our salvation was already done from that moment. So it was no surprise in the Garden of Gethsemane, though it seems so emotional and painful, it was love, unconditional love, being poured out of Jesus for the sorrow, broken heart, and hopelessness he felt for man, whom he recognized truly needed a saviour. Even after all the disciples had witnessed, been taught, and shown secretly…they still couldn’t be anchored in faith to sustain themselves. He said to them to watch and pray, that they enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is will, but the flesh is weak, they fell asleep leaving Jesus to fight alone for them, Matthew 26:40-45.

Jesus completed seven important tasks(sayings) at the cross for us to meditate on before he died. 1: At the cross Jesus cries out, “forgive them Father for they know not what they do, Luke 23:34 2: I thirst, John 19:28. 3: My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?Matthew 27:46. 4: Father into thy hands I commend my spirit.” Luke 23:46 He was still working making things right up to the last moment of his life. 5: He told one of to the two men that hung next to him who asked, “today shalt thou be with me in paradise, Luke 23:43. 6: His Mother Mary, “ woman, behold thy son! Behold, thy mother!John 19:26-27 7: It is finished, John 19:30. Not in the right chronological order, but you get what I mean. Seven is the number of completion and with all Jesus said and done on the cross, all humanity was in completion for transformation in restoration and renewal through his death and resurrection.

Our worthiness is predicated on God and God alone when chosen. We don’t have to be afraid or to find excuses such as unworthiness…to do what God has called us to do. “With a humble heart, like Mother Mary, say to the Lord, “be it unto me according to thy word,” Luke 1:38. Jesus has done all the hard work for us already. We are called to empty ourselves, and it’s our choice to submit willingly to God and be filled, protected and guided by the Holy Ghost to fulfill the will and purpose of the Father, like Jesus. It’s no longer an animal skin to cover our nakedness, (shame) Adam and Eve. Our shame is not what God had required of us, it was obedience. Now once again through the life death and resurrection of Jesus our saviour are we blinded to our shame in which was disclosed through our disobedience in the eating of the forbidden fruit. But now sighted in faith; fixated only on the things pertaining to our Heavenly Father. “Yes!” The devil would try with you, but once you’re under the covering of the Almighty, he can’t touch you. He will shake and break many things around you to try to get at your soul and distract you, but know the Lord will keep you covered. You’ll only realize what happened that could have killed or hurt you deeply, after it had fully passed, but had no effect on you or your loved ones.

Being a intercessor doesn’t negate Jesus

I was once confused by people who would refer to John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the life…No one comes to the Father except through me.” Confused because the same people who would quote this scripture consider it blasphemous to pray the Rosary or pray to any particular saint for intercession, like St. John, St. Peter, St. James, St. Paul…the apostles and disciples chosen by Jesus Himself, to continue the building of the kingdom of God through the gospel. They never have a problem with recognizing themselves, being praised and worshipped as though they are God. I don’t hear them saying, to see me is to see Jesus. Instead I hear it’s my church, my followers, I built this church…Where is the acknowledgment that it is through Christ. Hey we’re human and can get carried away, caught up in self, see and also lose sight at times of God within and surrounding us.

If Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, there many times with these modern Pharisees and Sadducees I had a problem in seeing Jesus truly shining through them. They are arrogant, self-righteous, religious, judgmental, legalist…with a self-made ticket to heaven. Just because you chose to be educated to preach, and you have followers, doesn’t mean you were chosen and ordained by God for such a calling on your life. A calling on your life is not about the amount people you have filling up the seats in the church or the money you earn. It is the lives you’ve touched and changed through God.

God is not jealous if we get praise for doing what He’s called us to, but with all humility when we acknowledge Him for our obedient to His will and purpose the praise we receive comes from directly from God himself. Those in close relationships to God understand that it’s not about them, but the work they do through Him who is worthy of it all. And like Jesus who glorifies his Father in every thing he had said and done. John 5:19 “Verily verily, I say unto you, the son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for what things so ever he does, these also does the son likewise.”

Mother Mary and Jesus had shared a bond like no other, a mother and child in the womb. Not even the disciples could had that connection with Jesus. Only if you’re a mother and had experienced what it is like to be pregnant. You and that baby become one sometimes even after that umbilical cord. And if any mother like myself remained spiritually connected, called it mother intuition. For example you could be on date night with your husband and call the sitter and say the baby is up go check on him/her sure enough it was true. Asleep and then suddenly waking out of your sleep to rush into his/her room and the baby is having breathing problems, baby cries which all children do, but this is different cry and you mind says take him/her to the hospital immediately and then the baby has a seizure for the first time in the presence of professional that could assist you. This is the kind of relationship Jesus had with the Father and us right now should be having with Jesus if the distractions of todays world wasn’t so loud we can’t hear and sin so rampant we can’t discern and the devil so cunning we are falling into his trap of seduction and temptation.

“Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.” Why only through him can we come to the Father? Because through Adam and Eve sin has entered into man causing death separating us from God. God is life, everlasting life and a spirit. Anything that must come must come before God can’t be a dead thing, just his presence will bring it to life and sin is not what God wants to live and exist within man forever. Jesus, to summon it up is obedience, the manifestation to God’s will and purpose. He’s the example for all humans who like Adam and Eve has been disobedient what could happen if you choose to be obedient unto God. The obedience to God is guidance, protection, miracles, blessings and the inability to stand against the devil with power and authority. This is why Jesus says, come follow me, do like I do. Jesus taught with his actions, words and being.

Exodus 18 Jethro Moses father-in-law when he saw Moses taking on the responsibility of trying to handle all the people problems by himself. Mose was judge, jury and prosecutor for them all. Jethro told Moses to delicate some of the responsibility to the true God fearing men in the camp, so he wouldn’t burn himself out. Jesus chose twelve disciples and like Moses delicate to them, but with power and authority through his name and the moving of the Holy Spirit. We are to be the witnesses, intercessors, and teachers of the gospel not called by ourselves, but our Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ in service to the will and purpose of the Father in heaven.

What am I saying? I am saying that the Blessed Mother Mary, her son Jesus spirit is in her from the womb and only activated it at the cross when saying to John to take care of her as his own mother, John 19:26-27. She increased as he had decreased. I always think about Micheal Jackson mother after his death and how much she loved him and he, her. And after his passing how much she carried the weight of his fame; to loving and continuing raising his children with all the love she had for him. The disciples got the fullness of the Jesus spirit on the day of Pentecost, but Mary always had it. After all Jesus had grown in her womb conceived by the Holy Spirit, Luke 1:34-35.

I am able to write these things because it was revealed to me when I asked God to allow me to know His true, not the polluted, interpretations, confusing, contradictory truth told by the enemy, through praying and fast. Withdrawal in isolation from the things of the world.

Once we have a steadfast relationship with God we acknowledge it’s never our will, but His will that is being done through us. We never take credit for it, but lift Him up.

Don’t be fooled, we were never meant to be perfect, once we’d fallen

For the disobedience of Adam and Eve to God, we have a pay to price, and that is sin(imperfections of man) which lead to death. Genesis 2:15-17 “you are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”(NIV) Notice at that time, God was never worried about telling man not to eating from the tree of life. I believe he was never worried because eternal life with Him as man being freshly new creature, was God’s plan from the beginning. Nothing was ever suppose to have come between God and man, but free will and the devil did.

We weren’t meant to live forever with such knowledge of good and evil which is too high for us to possess, we weren’t created for such power that separated us from God. “Why?” Because we were not yet equipped to handle it. Good and evil became a corruption to the mind, body and soul, like the quaking of the will and purpose of God in us through disobedience. We were like babies and milk (breast of God) was all we should of cling to, not meat (apart from God, the forbidden tree) for our nourishment. But God’s main concern was Genesis 3:22 And the Lord God said, “now that man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil, what if he should stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever!” He was mostly concerned that this imperfection, corruptible and enslaving thing (sin, separate from God) in man is detrimental to our existence. Look at the struggles and difficulties sin has caused in our lives; it has separated us from the Lord in such a mighty and powerful way that we were lost, confused, hopeless, helpless…imagine living forever like that. But thank God for Jesus!

Man was created in the image of God, not to be a mini God. If the angels held a position, a purpose with the Lord, man must also. After all, God is about will and purpose to my understanding. I believe we were never to be servants, but to be served by God himself, our provider. It was only after man had fallen, he had to labour for everything he needed, being thrown out the garden of Eden, Genesis 3:16-19, 23-24. We became like a seed gone wild like weeds, because of contamination of the soil. But yet, the Lord has never stop serving man, he sent His only begotten son to serve and redeem man.

I also believed man was distinctly created by God, being nothing like the angels, but yet in their coming together (Adam, Eve and the deceptive angel) for the first time both disrespected the sovereignty of the Most High by their actions, one being disobedient and the other a liar. But being the God of love, mercy, forgiveness…He had a plan already to resolve the dilemma between them both and to make the world as created to be, with love, joy and peace.

God didn’t separate fallen man from the fallen angel, but yet put them to exist together saying, “and I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” What was he saying? He was saying that there would be no peace between them.

Was this not part of God’s plan? God is omniscience and omnipresent, why would God be calling to Adam and Eve, “where are you?”Genesis 3:9. Could it be that God called out to man, because He wanted to try and test man. After all they failed at obedience, and maybe now, He wants to see if they are capable with telling the truth. God had to have known they were too innocent and fragile like babies, especially to withstand the devil, “or did He now?”

If Jesus hadn’t come and understood what it’s like to be a man living with sin, just think, we wouldn’t have been given Grace. Grace had to been given unto man, for the our Lord walk with us, talk to us, and became one of us, he took our sin upon himself to deliver us, Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weakness, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. The ultimate sacrifice for our salvation and yet there’s still more work for Jesus to do to complete our freedom from the burden of sin. So this enslaving struggle, difficulty and burden between good and evil which led to our imperfections will soon come to and end at the return of Jesus. Right now it’s impossible when the work is not completed. All that Jesus had done for us is to draw us back to God as we were meant to be, through his life and death. No more separation, the gap has been filled. Unlike Adam and Eve, this time we must be obedient in keeping of our renewal and restoration.

Jesus came for the deliverance of man, but there’s still a devil to fight and remove, once and for all. The door to salvation has been opened for all, but the devil needs to be no longer around to influence. This imperfection (separation, sin) influenced by the devil that weigh so hard on man, like a roller coaster having us sometimes up, and then down, none stop. We are given the authority to resist him, in which we must, because our problems has been solved, through the life and death of Jesus, now it’s the devil’s turn for him problem, issues, whatever to be solved.

For this reason I am so tired of those who like the Pharisees and Sadducees who have nothing better to do as Christians, but to sit around finding faults in others, especially fellow Christians by their criticizing and judging whatsoever is preach or being done by others. They are making themselves to be the only ones with the knowledge of truth and righteousness of God, according to themselves only, sure not God. This being a perfect walking in faith person is the only way to get into heaven, is a lie. The expectation of man being perfect since the fall is not from God. Romans 3:23-24 (NIV) For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. “Whose report do you believe?”

The purity of our lives has been tainted with this thing called sin, separating us from God that we are fighting within and without. Upon the wisdom, knowledge and understanding living in the millennium, we all should know there’s no one perfect, but God himself. The perfection we are to achieved is to be like Jesus when he said, “to see me is to see the Father, the Father and I are one.” Meaning they are inseparable!John 10:30-14:9. We are to have a solid and strong relationship with God that cannot be shaken.

Good and evil to me as I understand is will and purpose according to Romans 8:28 “all things works for good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Another example is Joseph and his brothers Genesis 50:20 (NIV) “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done,

I will end with what Jesus said, “let him who is without sin cast the first stone.”John 8:7

The validation of the Rosary

Matthew 6:7 (KJV) But when ye pray, use not repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Some may consider the Rosary a repetition prayer. Yes, it is just like the bible, from Genesis to Revelation. For thousands of years people have died and gone and yet still the Bible remains, repeated. But that’s not what’s being spoken about here. It is saying that the repetition makes their praying for a longer period of time using a lot of repeating words when running out of things to say. Short prayer is just as effective, not theatrics. The world is a circle and certain things about it can’t help but be repetitive like the clock, new day starts at twelve midnight and ends, then repeats, day and night, Monday…Sunday, spring, summer, autumn and winter, life and death…all repetitive, but not for theatric.

I am not Catholic. I am non-denominational, but yet, Lord has placed it upon my heart to pray the Rosary decades ago. The Rosary was brought to my attention one day at church, by my then Pastor who said the praying of the Rosary, along with the people kneeling and praying to statues of Jesus on the cross, his mother Mary, all saints and disciples in the Catholic Churches are idols worshipping, and the praying of the Rosary is wrong because Jesus is the only way to the Father. John 14:6 Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life; no one comes to the FATHER but through ME.

Luke 11:9-13 Ask, and you shall receive; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you. For everyone who ask, receives; and everyone who seeks, finds; and to everyone who knocks the door will be opened. So I came to Jesus, asking seeking and knocking, “is praying the Rosary wrong?” And His answer to me after a week of fasting and praying, just as he had given honours to John the Baptist at the hearing of his passing, Matters 11:11 “ verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.” He also gave honour to His mother at the cross when placing her in the care of the disciple John 19:25-27 “woman behold thy son.” Then, he said to the disciple, “behold thy mother.” And then from that hour the disciple took her to his own. At that moment he entrusted Mary his mother, not only to that disciple, but to the entire world. Humble as Jesus was as our prophet and king, so was his mother as queen (Empress).

Luke 1:26-38 Mary was chosen by God to birth the Good News of salvation for all of humanity. Luke 1:39-45 Mary was led by the spirit right away to visit her cousin Elizabeth after the angel had spoken to her and she was confirmed to be the mother of our Lord and saviour by her cousin Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. She who was once barren and now pregnant in her old age. Two miracles came together to bear witness to each other of the unbelievable working power of the impossible being possible by God that no other on earth besides them at that time was to experience. Luke 1:46-55 The Magnificat, as it is call in which to me is consider the psalm, song, prayers and validation of Mother Mary through the working of the Holy Spirit within her. God was showing through her words her profound love and devotion to him in her life. Mary love God with all her heart, mind, body, soul and spirit. Mother Mary reciting the Magnificat, was revealing her intimate relationship with God on how she felt about him and he about her, a love story and a love song. To me her saying this to Elizabeth was like when Jesus took Peter, James and John with him on the mount of transfiguration where he revealed his true identity to them, and told them to tell no one until he had been risen from the dead, Matthew 17:1-9. This was only a conversation between Mary and Elizabeth, but some how Luke knew about for the same reason what happened on the Mount of transfiguration was known.

At the cross Jesus actions towards his mother for all the time there was silence were he never expressed his feelings towards her was now being proclaimed to the world especially those disciples closest to him. God love for Mother Mary as his work was completed shined in the midst of the darkest time for her as his mother. Mother Mary had to endured the unbelievable and impossible as a mother of God. The world now has to acknowledge her for it. Like Jesus at the cross was letting Mary know, he couldn’t of done it without her and thanking her and sending love, loving on her, unlike anyone ever could. Mary of all woman and mother in the world was diligent in her calling to the end.

The Rosary is honouring Mary’s obedience, sacrifice by her willingness to surrender her all to the will and purpose of God, by her acceptance when she said to the angel Gabriel, “let it be to me according to your word.” Mother Mary today would be recognized and excepted as the true Pope not Peter. Back then women would never be thought of for such a position, but with every eye opening of truth that has been revealed and proven today it’s not impossible. Unlike the disciples, Mary not only witnessed all that Jesus had done, she knew he was before conception.

It is not written in the Bible neither has it entered to the minds of men what life was like for Mary as Jesus mother, the struggle she had to endure from the time of his conception, his birth, life and then his death. There was no way divinity being within you wouldn’t have had some powerful effect on your being changing something about you within and without, spiritually. Especially being created in his image now having not just an image within you but the real deal connected with the image, come on now! Must be a powerful combination of both within, but I’ll write about it for another Blog. “Oh, speak Holy Spirit!” I have to believe just as Jesus and the father was one so was he and his mother, how else was sin to be in him and upon him to take to the cross. Remember Adam and Eve, flesh of my flesh and bone of my bones, Genesis 2:23. Mary’s womb was the tabernacle prepared for Jesus, but I wouldn’t get into that now, I’d save it for the another Blog. No one ever had to curtsy to them, but look what they had sacrificed for all of humanity together, Jesus his life and a mother her son(child) and to bear witness to the cruelty of it all.

When everyone abandoned Jesus due to fear of being prosecuted along side him, no matter what Mary was not fearful, but with bold assurance she stepped out as his mother and every where he went she followed and with no shame, but with love, tears and the understanding of his purpose. Yet Mary was not mentioned as one of his first leading disciples before he had ever said, “come follow me” recruiting disciples. She was his first teacher of humanity from within the womb until the wedding of Cana, John 2:1-11.

Look how we honour the royal family of England, Queen Elizabeth II and her family so much more are we are to give honour to the mother of our Lord and saviour Jesus. No where is it written in the Bible that Jesus, his mother, relatives or disciples were given the highest honour and respect as our earthly royal family, pope, movie stars, musicians, singer…famous and rich people of this world, “remember that!” instead they endured suffering.

Today Mother Mary should be and would be recognized as the true Pope, head of the church and not Peter. “Why!” Because with every revealing of the truth with wisdom, knowledge and understanding the closet is no long closed but open, secrets are coming to the surface to separate the goats from the sheep. Back then this truth would be considered impossible because women would never be placed in such a position, but yet she’s the one who carry, give birth and nurture man until he leave home. God was smart when he judge the woman and said “your desire will be for your husband and he will rule over you,” Genesis 3:16. Because one thing when God speaks directly to a woman at least she listens and obey and don’t blame her husband for making her go against God, “Adam!” The husband ruling over the woman changed when Mary had to tell Joseph God made me…

The Rosary is deep meditative prayers for the world of all that happened with with the life death and resurrection of Jesus and the importance of the power and role Mary was positioned in with all of it. First it was Abraham and Isaac and now Mary and Jesus. Who can compare? Because they are all in the Will and Purpose of God. If Abraham could be so significant to the Israelites people as Gods chosen how much so is Mary the mother of Jesus, our Lord and saviour.

The further we drift from God, who is truth and begin with our own narratives because we think to ourselves that we’re too intelligent in this day and age to need God, Revelation is to keep us reminded it ain’t over, so don’t get to complacent, there’s a enemy still yet to conquer within and without us.

The Rosary is truth in it’s power for us to concentrate and meditate on the authority, will and purpose of God working through both Mother Mary and her son Jesus as one, like when she was pregnant and carrying him, instead now he’s carry her within him. She became part of all he is. If we could look to the disciples, preachers, bishops, pastors…men and women of God with honour and respect; we can also know that God granted Mary all honour and respect when the angel greeted her and said, “Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among woman.” Fear not Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.”Luke 1:28-30.

Mother Mary kept silent and humble allowing God’s will to be done and for this reason when I pray the Rosary I’m at peace within my soul. I find healing, comfort…but most of all love, joy, faith and peace especially in times of a storm. Praying the Rosary is access to the spiritual realm…

We must stop judging and condemning what we don’t understand or lack the knowledge of and stop crucifying good calling it evil.

Fear was on every side to serve

When I was first received my encounter with Jesus, who said to me, “ I’ve been waiting on you.” I was led to Jesus by what I thought was a child; turned out to be an angel. He was waiting for me with a table set for us to eat together. After we spoke and ate, he then led me to His Mother Mary to understand my purpose. You see, I was once lost and confused about faith (religion)especially about the role of women in ministry. For ten years I’ve asked, seek and knocked on every door to find out why so many religions and what was the true faith to follow. I am trying to make a long story short, so bear with me. After being a true member of church faithfully for years, I would question within myself every time the pastor said certain things about other religions. When I found out the truth and was filled with the Holy Ghost like an innocent child having no guidance, but that of the Lord, I ran out to shared my story to the good, bad and ugly, anyone who would listen. I was rebuked out my church I had attended for years with my family and lost friends and family. Not knowing or understanding that demons would be set lose on me for knowing God truth, but the Lord protected me. It was terrifying as hell itself what I’d experienced. I can’t even begin to describe or elaborate on. Just think of what hell is describe as and that’s what I truly experienced in my soul.

I’d looked for help to spread this truth about what I had learned according to the moving of the Holy Spirit within me. I presented myself to heads and leaders of other churches whom I believe would understand my purpose, only to find out they wanted me to tell a story according to how they wanted to control the narrative of the truth. They didn’t want me to say what I was told by God, but rather twist it to fit their truth. I once was threatened if I have a family then keep quite about these things because people get killed for this kind of information. And now today everyone is speaking the same thing, with no holding back all over the internet. But then again decades ago all that is be permitted today wasn’t heard of, everything in the dark is now coming to light, shocking the world, and believe me there’s still more to be revealed that man still is not ready to hear, God’s truth!

You know you’re truly called by God when demons are constantly after you, implanting fear in your soul to stop you from your calling, beginning with attacks on your loved ones, the very things that you hold dear to you. Yes, everyone has struggles we go through, the kind of things that with faith in God helps us to get through it. And for those who don’t believe in God, sees it as part of life. But when you’re faithful, fasting, praying and meditating constantly and is woken up in what is called the witching hour with what seems like hands, black hands trying to pull you down through your bed, you know the struggle has just begotten real. “What have you done?” “What would cause me to be high jacked like this before the dawning of the morning by the enemy?” “Trust me, you learn the name of Jesus is powerful in any battle, more powerful that any weapons.”

I learned that I am neither Jew, disciple or gentile of the Lord, but a new creature in Jesus, like 2 Corinthians 5:17. I had to thirst and hunger for days to get a break through recently. The powers and principalities, spiritual wickedness in high places that had me bound for years finally came after me because I decided to face my fears. First time in my life in this Holy season as I prayed, fasted and meditated and had to be a warrior instead of a peace maker. I realize our world energy is in the negative because the scale is unbalanced. We are not possessing the true victorious positive power of God within us to turn things around, learning from our past mistakes, instead we’re repeating it, and calling it into existence. Faith we have to move mountains instead we prepare ourselves for the worst, using it to call negativity upon us, like world war three is coming, the antichrist is coming, the world is coming to an end…None of this has to happen if we if our faith is to prepare for the return of Jesus by living righteous according to the will and purpose of God, all that Jesus presence in the earth had taught us, the building of His kingdom. “Is the Kingdom built?” “Is it built up to withstand the enemy who’s trying to break it down?” “For we are the Kingdom! All who follow Jesus, putting God’s will first.” You may say, “But the Bible says, these things must first happen.” Yes, the Bible did also prophesy the coming of the messiah, that would come to save the world, but not according to what man had expected of him.

Jesus is a game changer, being so good at it he was killed. If he had came doing exactly as the man wanted according to their regulations, age-old traditions, legalistic and human-made regulations influenced by the devil, then they would have no need to had crucified him. But yet, He came as was meant to be, doing the Will of God, not man. Man being so fragile and easily influenced by the devil is so predictable, at the time Jesus stepped out of heaven to come down to earth the devil started to bruise man’s heal and man step wasn’t strong enough to damage his head as it should, Jesus life was in danger. His life, death and resurrection not only stepped on his head, but destroyed his hold on man, the hold on me. If only we can truly get this that we’ve got power and authority over the enemy if we truly believe in the resurrection. When we truly believe, “fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28. Fear can real cripple us mentally, but faith in God can empower us take back control when the meltdowns of fear has held us captive.

The Servitude Mystery

I sat one day contemplating on my disobedience to the Lord and the consequences to my actions; suffering physically and mentally as I cried and pleaded to God for His forgiveness. Sometimes we believe it’s all about the devil attacking us when it’s we ourselves, due to disobedience to God for our own protection, giving way for the devil to enter in. God allowed me to search within my spirit as to what caused my disobedience. I recognized it was fear; fear of man and what they’d think of me concerning what I was called to do. When God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, 2Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. My insecurities of believing I was not good enough, and who am I that the Lord sees it fit to call me. I’m a nobody, uneducated…like Moses who said, “ I’m a man of slow speech.” Giving myself and God an excuse, as to why I am not capable of doing what he called me to.

When I first got my calling, I was steadfast and powerful in His authority and then the devil bit me where it affected my soul: my loved ones. The venom was very poisonous. Being close to physical death, instead I suffered a spiritual death, I believed, at that time. What I had thought was a punishment from God, believing God has withdrawn His power of authority, guidance and protection, was God placing me like Jonah in the whale belly. I had to come out of this knowing who God is and will always be in my life. The power of authority, guidance and protection that no other but Him the creator of my being, lover of my soul who has pulled me out of all kind of evil, nurtured and healed me back to life in an isolated place. God is and will always be in control of every aspect of my life, whether I’m kicking and screaming, calm or just resisting Him, Learning to trust, not my will, but His will be done!

I was lead by the Holy Spirit to find in the Bible and where Jesus was preparing and teaching the twelve disciples how to serve in the kingdom of God. And with a stern disciplined voice I heard “write out everything you’ve learned.” So I wrote, First: I learned Matthew 4:19 “come follow me I will make you fisher of man.” Second: Matthew 10:16 “sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves.” Third: Matthew 17:20 “Faith the size of a mustard seed.” Forth: John 13:1-17 “Jesus washes the feet of the disciples.” and Fifth: Jesus says, “if you love me, feed my sheep.” I meditate day and night in prayer on what this could mean. In my spirit one day as I was praying the Rosary which I’ve done daily five times, sometimes more when I’m fasting, for the last twenty-eight years ever since I had an encounter with the Blessed Mother. I heard a voice said, make this your fifth mystery to meditate on in helping you to serve without fear. My heart was overwhelmed as my spirit rejoiced. I couldn’t help but believe from that moment on something good was going to happen. I thought of calling it the provocation to serve mystery, stewardship, reconciliation through service…mystery and then one day I heard it clear as can be a voice that said, “it’s a mystery that should be defined by one word.” And it made sense because it wasn’t anchored within my spirit. One Sunday morning as I woke up getting ready for Sunday service, I looked up on Google “what’s another word for service?” and Servitude showed up boldly. I felt in my spirit, it was the right word/name to be used.

Everyone of these five mysteries is so important. But the two that resonates within my soul to strength me is the second mystery: Matthew 10: 16-40 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.” It gives me such fresh courage because I know that God has me covered. Nothing I do is within my own power or strength; neither will I suffer through any evil without His protection and guidance, because I will. I have no fear now, especially concerning those that I love. Matthew 10:21-22 “Brother will betray brother to death, and father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. Verse 22 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. I didn’t stand firm in my mission, but I stood firm in my faith regardless. I didn’t ever stop crying out and praying to the God of glory, faith, joy, hope and peace. It took a long time, but I have reached the place of His restoration a new beginning in Him the one who died that I may have life in a new beginning through Him, Jesus. How? By the third Servitude mystery I was given: Matthew 17:20 “ Faith as small as a mustard seed, you can move mountain.” And my faith is in Him, Jesus my salvation and intercessor, who knows who I am.

The Servitude Mystery, is for me in my disobedience that is now share with you. Like me, have you been disobedient? For those who would once be my greatest adversaries sent by Satan, “who do I think I am?” For once in my life I can now answer with bold assurance in the acknowledgement and understanding and now know, “I am a child of God, rooted and grounded in Him. I may stand strong today and tomorrow stumble and fall, “He, my God! Has proven that regardless, He’ll always be with me, lifting me up.” The times that I’m at my weakest, His strength is made strong in me to overcome.”

I am nondenominational, not Catholic, but why the Rosary? The Rosary is not just for the Catholic, even though they’re the only ones known for praying it. The Rosary is about Jesus, giving you wisdom and understanding. There was a time I questioned and resented the Rosary as I was taught to be ignorant against, ‘why the Rosary and the Blessed Mother Mary?’ While on a retreat she revealed herself to me in my ignorance towards her, acknowledging to me that she was me, “woman” worthy to be in God’s presence and to do His work that He called me to and like her to say, “do to me according to thy word.” The Rosary is for all humanity, especially women because like Mary being faith in Him can lead you to be called highly favoured and blessed to bring forth His will.

Praying the Rosary for decades has empowered me as a woman of faith, and my love for all humanity has grown with such wisdom, knowledge and understanding. When Jesus said to his mother Mary, “behold your son” and to the disciple, “behold your mother.” If she was a good enough and faithful in the sight of God to be chosen to the mother His only begotten son, the salvation for all of humanity, she’s good enough to be mother of all God’s children.
