Freedom Will Reign // Entering A Fast For Freedom

As I sat and watched "12 Years A Slave" last night after I got off the plane from Haiti my heart was torn. Slavery on every level is wrong and we know we serve a God who is just and will bring justice and will bring good to those who suffer. I literally cried through the whole movie, to see the way human beings Gods Creation were and still are  treated wrecks my soul. This junk still exists and we need to bring a stop to it. It would be hard for me to fathom how much forgiveness would need to be offered up for such awful situations but I know this,When we step out and ask for it healing begins to take place. I'm going to be so bold as to say if your family was ever involved in such a situation that as a family you come before God and ask for forgiveness. I usually don't come out strong, but the chains on my arms that are broken represent so much more than what I went through as a slave to alcohol. God has called me to rise up, to be bold , to be David in the Bible to stand up against giants of all kind. As I've just returned from Haiti for me to think that this stuff doesn't exist would be selfish thinking and God has freed me of selfish thinking into a life of selfless thinking. I'm going to enter a fast to pray that God will bring justice that millions will be free that healing will begin to take place not only over this nation but upon this globe. If you would like to join me in this fast you are more than welcome to do so. Daily I will be starting my day repeating this prayer. And ending my day with it as well as everything in between. 

"Lord I ask you to come as a cool breeze upon this earth as your sons and daughters are bound by chains I would ask you to come with healing , fulfillment of your spirit, I would ask that you come and if their thirsty provide them water straight from Heaven Restore Life Lord!! Lord I pray that forgiveness will wash over the earth!! And your presence will be made known!! You are good Lord !! Bring justice !! In your precious name Jesus. Amen.

As part of my fast I will be listening to certain worship albums and reading books to constantly press into this topic. 

Water , and very light meals in the process asking The Lord to fill me with His energy !! Thanks for reading and may this change the atmosphere!!! And bring freedom to millions!!! Have your way Lord!! Blessings

Haiti // God Called Me To A Nation// The Roots Are Deep

Tonight listening to some worship music on the headphones & thanking God for how He has blessed me to bless others. What an amazing 3 months this has been down here in Haiti with Grace So Amazing Ministries. I remember many nights in Nashville up late praying Lord where do you want me ? What do I need to give up to make this happen? Lord let me put my entire life into your hands. Many of you know that my history was filled with junk, Well that's exactly what it is "History" its gone its been wiped clean and I've entered a new life. A life that's filled with joy,prayer,worship,love and so much more. I've seen the sick healed I've seen people turn their lives over to Christ. Everyday is a blessing and each person we come in contact with we are called to love & show the love of Jesus.

There are many stories I have from my stay but there are a couple of stories that stick out to me more.The March Visiting Orphans team, came with one purpose and that was to show the love of Jesus and pray and worship, we did this each day going from house to house. On this particular day The Holy Spirit was heavy.

The First place was a woman who said after the worship songs , and when we asked how we could pray she said this " I want to quit smoking!! . I had my eyes closed God jolted me i looked at the broken chains on my arms and instantly said "I will pray for you"!! Your testimony is a great opportunity to pray for those going through what you have been through . I put my hands on her head and began to pray for freedom that God would break the chains of addiction!!! Let me tell you my hand was hot and I felt a fire in my soul , God was close & and oh what an amazing feeling it was . Folks are crying out to know Jesus and break free from the junk in there life, this is happening all over the world I remember leaving that place saying Lord even as we leave keep a fresh fire upon this place where your precious daughter Adelaide has cried out for you to break addiction in her life . replace it with all of you Lord !!

As we made our way to the next house the presence of the holy spirit was fresh. We arrived at the house. Papa was in the Garden working, As we started to sing He made His way over and when we finished singing He said "I could feel something stirring in my soul, I want to accept Jesus Christ"!! The children were there along with mom , Mishcad soon arrived and we all entered their house they sat together as a family and we prayed over them. Just before all of this happen I remember a cool breeze blowing in front of the house, Holy Spirit went before us and declared goodness in that place. What a beautiful picture this day was, I always talk about changing the atmosphere, How & where you carry the atmosphere of Jesus will surely change the atmosphere where you place your feet.

As I sit here in my room tonight i can feel Him all around , words of encouragement are downloading in my brain and my heart. Papa loves us so much, Each word He gives me whether through song or a verse in the Bible I make sure I apply that to my day & night. Listen to the words He is saying and share them with community. I think Lord what a journey what a path what a story your writing and thank Him for the opportunity to be a disciple for the kingdom of heaven and to bring sons & daughters to Jesus.

Lord my prayer is that I will continue to be a laid down lover of the cross and that I will drip of your goodness, may the aroma of your presence change the atmosphere wherever I put my feet, and may addictions be broken, may the practice of voodoo be broken , may the blind see may the sick be healed may families be reunited, may children be saved and brought to you and into your loving arms. Lord Thank you for your goodness, And continue to go before me . Hallelujah  God for all that your doing , May I continue to Press In And Press On and Love unconditionally.
