Where the Fight Was Won
We often wonder how Jesus could have endured everything he did for our sakes. Many talk about the Victory of the Cross, I suggest to you that the Victory was in the Garden when he defeated the desperate pull of his Flesh! He begged let this Cup Pass From Me! Let this Cup Pass From ME! His flesh was battling for the Victory! His response was NOT my Will FATHER BUT THINE WILL BE DONE!
What God has shown me is that when he won the Victory in the Garden he won that Battle for me as well, and that if I will but die to my flesh I to will have the Victory!
Encouragement for all you Ladies struggling with the FLESH, eating disorders, sexual issues, emotional issues, You fill in the blank. For me personally its eating probably the most noticeable of all in my opinion. You pop a tic-tac if you drink or smoke and maybe for while disguise drug abuse but it does not take long for the piece of Cheese Cake to find its way to my hips for all the world to see.
My Prayer:
Lord give me the in sight and the strength to choose wisely those foods which would edify my body which is a Holy Temple and increase me financially so that I can afford those foods which would be more beneficial to my body and take from me those unhealthy appetites.
For all the ladies that might be reading this who feel they to struggle with body image allow them to know how beautiful and wonderfully they are made that you care for and love them for exactly who they are.
In Jesus Name Amen.

2nd Annual Prayer Shut In
As we know in ministry its not about the size of the attendance that matters, God sends who he wants. So we had an intimate encounter. I spent the night in prayer with five women three of whom I had just met. We prayed over one another and others who had to leave early. We had fellowship and light refreshments and we continued to snack on through out the night. The Holly Spirit gave us all the strength to stay awake all night. It was not a struggle, I was energized and perky.
It was amazing to see how God orchestrated the whole evening we spent hours going through the Word of God, we found out that we had a common interest, we are hungry to see God move with the same signs and wonders of the Day of Pentecost. We also learned that we do not need to recreate that night because once we become his we were given the Holy Spirit on the inside, what we do need is more prayer. Prayer to become more powerful to move in the Power of the Holy Spirit. We agreed that it was important that we needed to be in the same Spirit and Like Minded and pray on one accord.
Friday Night was new experience for me, I have never been used to prophecy over some one before nor I had I ever seen a vision before. Before I arrived at church I had simply asked God to give me the right words to speak and to allow me to see his Glory manifested however he saw fit to do so and the strength to say awake. As we were praying for a young lady we were encircled around her holding hands, each one praying as we were led. For a brief moment, I saw us as a golden circle that was turning, with figures of golden light standing behind each one of us. It only lasted for a brief moment, however it was beautiful. I believe God answered my prayer.
I believe an outreach for revival has been created within us as an increase desire for more prayer but not just prayer by ourselves and for ourselves but connective prayers with each other and for others. I feel soon All Night Prayer Vigils are going to spread through out the River City as women take time to meet, pray, repent, cry out between the porch and altar, as we sound the alarm, and take our influence back to our work places, homes, loved ones, and the lost.
Meaning of the "Ring" Biblically
Ring [EBD]
Used as an ornament to decorate the fingers, arms, wrists, and also the ears and the nose. Rings were used as a signet (Gen. 38:18). They were given as a token of investment with authority (Gen. 41:42; Esther 3:8-10; 8:2), and of favour and dignity (Luke 15:22). They were generally worn by rich men (James 2:2). They are mentioned by Isiah (3:21) among the adornments of Hebrew women.
RING [SMITH]The ring was regarded as an indispensable article of a Hebrew?s attire, inasmuch as it contained his signet. It was hence the symbol of authority. (Genesis 41:42; Esther 3:10) Rings were worn not only by men, but by women. (Isaiah 3:21) We may conclude from (Exodus 28:11) that the rings contained a stone engraven with a device or with the owner?s name. The custom appears also to have prevailed among the Jews of the apostolic age. (James 2:2)
RING [ISBE]RING - (Anglo-Saxon, Hring, "ring"): The word renders (the American Standard Revised Version) two Hebrew words (in the King James Version and the English Revised Version three) and two Greek words. Tabba`ath, the principal Hebrew word, is from Tabha`, "sink," either because the ring is something "cast" or molded, or, more probably, since the principal use of the ring was as a seal, because it "sank" into the wax or clay that received the impression. In Exodus, Tabba`ath, "ring," is a detail of furniture or equipment, as the rings of the ark through which the staves were thrust (Ex 25:12, etc.), rings for curtains, in the high priest's ephod (Ex 28:28; 39:21), etc. Its other use was perhaps the original, to describe the article of personal adornment worn on the finger, apparently in the Old Testament always a signet-ring, and as such an indispensable article of masculine attire. Such a ring Pharaoh gave Joseph as a symbol of authority (Gen 41:42); and Ahasuerus gave Haman (Est 3:10); with it the royal missive was sealed (Est 3:12; 8:8 twice,10). It was also a feminine ornament in Isaiah's list of the fashionable feminine paraphernalia, "the rings and the nose-jewels" (quite likely rings also) (Isa 3:21). Either as ornaments or for their intrinsic value, or both, rings were used as gifts for sacred purposes from both men and women: "brooches, and ear-rings, and signet-rings" (margin "nose-rings") (Ex 35:22); "bracelets, rings (the American Standard Revised Version "signet-rings"), ear-rings" (Nu 31:50 the King James Version). chotham, "signet," mentioned in Gen 38:18,25; Ex 28:11,21,36; Ex 39:6,14,30; Jer 22:24; Hag 2:23, etc., was probably usually a seal ring, but in Gen 38 and elsewhere the seal may have been swung on wire, and suspended by a cord from the neck. It was not only an identification, but served as a stamp for signature. galil, "circle" (compare "Galilee," "Circle" of the Gentiles), rendered "ring" in Est 1:6; Song 5:14, may rather mean "cylinder" or "rod" of metal. Earring (which see) in the King James Version is from totally different words: nezem, whose etymology is unknown, aghil, "round," or lachash, "amulet"; so the Revised Version (British and American). The "rings" of the wheels in Ezek 1:18 (the King James Version) are gabh, "curved," and mean "rims" (American Standard Revised Version), "felloes." Egyptians especially wore a great profusion of rings, principally of silver or gold, engraved with scarabaei, or other devices. In the New Testament the ring, daktulios, "finger-ring," is a token of means, position, standing: "put a ring on his hand" (Lk 15:22). Perhaps also it included the right to give orders in his father's name. To be chrusodaktulios, "golden-ringed," perhaps with more than one, indicated wealth and social rank: "a man with a gold ring" (Jas 2:2).

“Being Transformed from Old to New”
I have been watching some of the Reality Shows and some of them have had me thinking about my Past and what I have been called to do, something that I have not been paying much attention to recently. The two reality shows I am referring to are from G’s to Gents and Girls of Hedsor Hall. Both shows are about coming from a past of no self respect and producing out side effects that reflect what is going on the inside and being willing to face their past and willing to make the changes on the inside that will effect change on the outside. This brings me to the reason for this post, I am going to start a new blog about FACING YOUR PAST and MAKING PEACE WITH IT.
Be looking for the new page and be willing to follow along, I hope this study and sharing of my personal experience will help set you free your past and discover a better you, a better life and better future!
