Wellllll................................. :)
I thought of a great idea today and want to dare each of you to a 40 DAY SEX FAST!!!!
OHHH YEAH...YOU READ IT CORRECTLY!!!
40 PURE DAYS of taking control of your flesh and TRYING the Word for yourself!!! My testimony alone is not enough to convince you but I do hope that it encourages you. When I talked about the blessings poured out on my life on the previous blogs, I literally left out at least about five...at the very least!!!
And all of that began within weeks of my decision to obey the call of purity from God. I'm not saying it's easy but I encourage you to purpose in your heart to make this journey. If you see no change within those 40 days...ok, fine!
But know that you're not in this alone and that the WORD works; there are REWARDS for obedience! Meditiate on Psalm 112 and spend some time with God during these 40 days. SHARE YOUR JOURNEY!!! YOU'RE NOT ALONE! The sole purpose of me creating this blog was NOT to let y'all all up in my business!!!! It was to encourage myself for one but to encourage others, to be the light that some of y'all are needing. I KNOW that many of you are LONGING for change because guess what...GOD has heard your heart's cry! He has heard the cries of your heart throughout this city and HE is calling people to rise up and to fulfill this mission to help you!
So what are you waiting on?! September is approaching fast! Let's go 40 DAYS from SEPTEMBER 1ST! I'll pray for you, and you'll pray for me!
Some of you have guys and girlfriends that may totally be against it. I pray that God gives you the revelation He gave me. My obedience lined up my household, but that was our destiny. May this will shed light on that relationship that you are in and where that person's heart is for you.
Some of you devalue your body for finances...just WATCH GOD WORK! Let HIM show you that HE IS YOUR PROVIDER!!! Some of you are just addicted to sex, that's a stronghold. Let God break it these 40 days!
Just let God show you HIM and HIS power throughout these 40 days and I can guarantee you that you will never be the same. Feel free to comment or even email me! I'm here for support!

ABSTINENCE WHAT?!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..................
I'M SO EXCITED!!! GOD IS EXALTED, JESUS IS LORD, AND VICTORY IS MINE!!!
It's been 3 months since I have answered the call to purity! Within these months, God has BLOWN MY MIND!! He has done ABOVE ALL that I could ever ask or imagine! To testify to all the blessings He's pouring down on my family would take a whole other blog!! Within these months, God wrote a book through me, began an organization through me and I believe because of my obedience He has answered my heart's desires! I have a new job, above what I could have ever imagined and I'll be married within the next month and a half! :-D ONCE AGAIN...OBEDIENCE PAYS!!!!
But that's not why I'm writing. When I began looking into this lifestyle and being obedient to ways to promote it throughout the Delta, the results were shockingly sad. I was looking forward to seeing all the great rewards of Abstinence programs, instead I found such things that actually were trying to prove that Abstinence programs did not work. I was devastated!
I couldn't believe it and felt severly defeated. However, as I have lived this lifestyle for the last few months and allowed God to purify my heart, thoughts, and motives He began to show me the problem. It's kind of like having faith in God. If you don't have faith in God, then ultimately you won't see His glory show in your life. It's when you trust Him as your God and trust Him to reward you (Heb 11:6) that He can move...BECAUSE OF YOUR FAITH!
Many people are trying to promote abstinence on the wrong foundation, and that's the reason that it's not working. It's just like the revelation that God gave me on marriage: Marriage is a thing ordained by GOD so in order for it to work as it should, you have to seek GOD! Abstinence is the same way; you can't live a pure lifestyle without the biblical foundation of purity and honoring your temple. You may think you're doing it in your "own strength" and you will fail. Will power is not enough to carry out such things as marriage and abstinence; they are things ordained by God and must work through the power of God.
So, NO, abstinence programs DO NOT work when you are trying to leave God out!!! People have to have more than statistics to become abstinent. They have to have a revelation from the Holy Ghost and the Bible says that no man can come to Jesus unless He is drawn by way of the Holy Spirit. In the same way, no man can walk in such a powerful spiritual nature without seeking God. It's through His power that he heals and restores marriages and it's through HIS power that HE keeps you pure!
I can honestly say that, yes, of course I think about sex. But when I think about it, I think of it in the context of marriage and that excites me! I have something to look forward to without feeling cheap, violated, and used. It takes GOD to RENEW your mind about such things as abstinence and purity. The problem is we want to leave God out when we take the message of abstinence to the streets. But there are no gray areas with God, it either is or it isn't. That's just as India Arie said, "Ain't no substitute for the TRUTH, either it IS or it ISN'T."
I write today to say YES, ABSTINENCE PROGRAMS DO WORK because my abstinence lifestyle is paying off for me! And since God is not a respect of persons, that means, if He's doing it for me, He'll do it for you!!!!

So...YOU MAD HUH?!
Last week I wrote about the glory of the Lord. One thing about when you recieve victory in an area of your life, the devil will try to wreck havoc in another area. And he did just that...and I'm not gone lie, he hit me where it hurt! So the last few days I've been praying and crying out to God.
He told me, "Remember the promises."
My cries became feverent prayers in the Holy Ghost over the people and situations the devil has tried to gain control over. And I can honestly sit here and write that ALL IS WELL. I don't "feel" like it's all well but God has told me, "Remember the promises." He has assured me that HE hears EVERY PRAYER, he sees EVERY TEAR, and that the ANSWER is ON THE WAY!
I claim deliverance and the devil's hands to be OFF of this!!!
I knew that when I started this journey I should expect some things to go a little haywild. And yes, they did. Excuse my 'french' but "THE DEVIL BE DAMNED!" My joy is mine to stay! My promises are MINE to have. You've got to get BOLD when the devil brings stuff into your life. NO it's NOT God that brings bad stuff into your life. It's either the devil or consequences of your disobedience. When you are assured that you are in right standing and doing all you know to do, then you can boldy tell the devil to step up off of what God has give you.
I won't back down...I'm too far in to give up! No devil in hell can have what's mine!!!
THE PRAYERS OF THE RIGHTEOUS AVAILETH MUCH!!!
Stay tuned because it's ON now....I'm just motivated to snatch more people out of hell and out of the sexual sins they're in! I'm more motivated to trevail and pray for those entangled in their lifestyles. I'm simply MORE MOTIVATED to get this word out.....SAVE OUR PURITY!!! SAVE OUR MARRIAGES!!!!

HEY NOW!!!
It's really been TOOO long since my last blog but GOD has been SHOWING OUT!!!! I've been working! I was blessed with a job like 2 days after I received an AWESOME prophetic Word! The prophetic word came the day after the decision to remarry!!!
I mean! It's really been just awesome! The rewards of obedience are awesome! If only we realized that God is not asking you to give up certain things to keep things from you, in fact, He's trying to get them to you. God told me that He was getting ready to release all of those blessings that I had been waiting on. He said that He was just looking for a way in and when I decided to line my will up with His will and obey...that opened the door to release the blessings He'd been waiting to pour out!
He confirmed this Word the very next morning during service and then two days later I got called for a position that the woman just gave up. It blew their minds that she just quit! But bless her heart and she already has another position...LOOK AT THE FAVOR OF GOD! He didn't just stop there, I absolutely love my new job!!! It's above all that I could ever ask or imagine! And that's how God works! And no one can recieve the glory except for him. And the fact that my marriage will be fully restored in like probably less than two months...... YOU JUST HAVE NO IDEA!!!!
I'm ready to get back on my social networks but I just don't think it's time. My spirit has been so sensitive to the voice of the Lord without the distractions of television and social networks and I'm loving it. I mean I hear Him speaking so clear. Like LITTLE things. For instance, I was passing by the bank and I heard God say, "Go to the ATM." I knew it was Him, but when I saw all of the cars at the ATM I was like, "nah, that's ok." I didn't need the money then anyway, I didn't think. Then I get a text; someone wants to borrow some money. Guess what, I had to go back to the ATM. SMH! If only....!!! This is only an example of how clearly I've been hearing Him speak by sacraficing and staying in His presence.
Another example...the person borrowing the money? I'll be honest with yall, cause I was honest with God, I didn't want to give it to her. I mean, we're not like friends and I just felt used. And I told God, I don't mind giving, but I hate feeling used. I struggled so long with giving it to her because I'm knowing I'm not going to get it back and although I'm working, I hadn't recieved my first paycheck. I felt like I needed to keep it but the fact that God had just told me to go to the ATM stuck out like a sore thumb and I felt like it was a test. So anyway, I obeyed and kept it real with God. I told Him that giving was not the problem but to deal with the feelings of being used. He spoke and said, "I'm gone bless you." Before the end of the week God had blessed me with a total of $140; and I only let her borrow $20.
You just can't tell me what God isn't capable of! The position that I have, I wasn't suppose to have it until October. FAVOR!! And it doesn't stop there but that's my husband's testimony so I won't go into that. Just know that as the Bible says that when a man finds a wife he finds a good thing and obtains FAVOR from the Lord. God even told me that He was going to bless my husband through me, because all HE needed was someone to surrender and say "Yes Lord!" Y'all better hear what I'm saying!
God is God! He can bless whatever He wants to! He can change whatever He wants to! He can HEAL whatever HE wants to!!! It's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazing! And all I can do is tell Him constantly how amazing HE is! By the end of the month, the ABSTINENCE revolution should be ready for take over! YEAH BUDDY!!!! Oh HE is faithful! The devil is the only one mad!
I've got to get up early but I've been wanting to hit this blog up for the last week! But until next time

"Just One of Those Days"
Today's an off day...for some reason or another I'm having some bad feelings and vibes here and there but the devil be damned!
Saturday night, I had a prayer session that was off the chain. God told me that He was getting ready to release all the blessings that were being held because of my disobedience. He said, "I've just been looking for a way in."
God then confirmed His word to me during service, and Pastor preached on how our disobedience can block our blessings. I received such a powerful Word, bascially confirmation for everything that God had just spoken Himself to me not even 24 hours later. Needless to say, I was on a spiritual high.
Today though, I have doubts; I have worries, I want to cry. Funny because the prophetic word yesterday said that God was restoring my joy! Isn't that something how the devil works? I can't even tell you what is really bothering me but I know one thing for certain!!! I WILL PRAISE and thank GOD for all that HE is doing behind the scenes! The devil won't steal my praise! And in my praise, I just receive more blessings. God says He "INHABITS" the praises of His people...think on that. If you're praising, and God manifests His glory, think not that while you're praising SOMETHING is going on in the supernatural! God is fixing something, releasing something, DOING SOMETHING! God never manifests His presence, steps on the scene, without leaving also a manifestation of His glory! HALLELUJAH!!!
I'll say as the woman said on the way to see the priest about her dead child, IT IS WELL! SELAH!
The promise of God I'm standing on now is that God said He was restoring my family. He said he promised me a husband, not a boyfriend. No demon in hell will stop the plans of God for my family. This emotional slump shall pass!
Trust in His Word...
