 “The fear of man is a snare, but the one who trusts in the Lord is protected.” Proverbs 29:25 HCSB Fore!  Timber! Freeze! STOP! Duck! Left!  Hole!  Don’t run you’re going to fall! It’s a trap!  Just a few of the common call outs ⚠️ to yield someone to watch out for danger. Did you ever think fear can be a danger to watch out for? Something to have caution? You never hear the call out- “watch out for that fear!” Often fear can be understood as a disposition that needs to be challenged to conquer. Some people will say it’s cowardly to not face your fears (1 Samuel 17:11). But there’s is always things  in life we are fearful to face. David faced Goliath because he understood that if the Lord is for him who could be against him. (Romans 8:31, 1 Samuel 17:45-47) His trust in God was that He was bigger then the giant before him. But to the rest of the Israelite soldiers that were behind David, they did not. (I Samuel 17: 23-24) What would have it meant for the I...

  The word will be planted in my home  like a tree rooted near the streams of a river.   The winds will blow and the storms will come, Tides will crash, mountains will shake,  Yet it branches will wave,   The tree will not break.  We will be the branches  that master its reach  towards the sun, extending to its heavens to suckle upon the  elements of Your glory. Like manna,  Your word be our nourishment that will  deepen our roots. Generations after generations  to see the legend of faith that stands tall.   Those will see the height and depth of unshakeable strength,  from the stories of old, earthquakes and storms that passed  and this tree of faith never to fall.  For me and my house, shall serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15 Written by, Zoraida Clemente He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever...

Sharing what God said to me: Don’t determine your position because of someone’s disposition.  Determine your position according to HIS direction. 🧭🎚📍#fulfilltheassignment 🎯

What happens when you stay stuck wanting to hold on to yesterday’s season?  ““While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease.”” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭8:22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Summer is my favorite season. The glow of the sun warming my skin. The light that shines so gloriously gives me joy. Longer days and shorter nights motivates my energy and the desire for adventure. However, when the transition begins to fade from summer to fall the resistance begins. Refusing to accept a change of season I still dress the same and my mindset remains in my preferred climate. A hope for a better tomorrow, a warmer day and a longer summer. And I am reminded tomorrow is never promised. “Don’t boast about tomorrow, for you don’t know what a day might bring.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭27:1‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ Although we don’t know what    tomorrow may bring, a farmer sows in an anticipated season. His seeds are planted a season prior.   ...

I call on the many names You are,  in the names I need You for me.  The God of many names,  yet the name that is above all names.  Adonai- He is the Lord I praise! Jehovah Rapha- Healer,  deliver me.  Jehovah Nissi- Savior,  rescue me  Yahweh Roi- Teacher,  guide me Yahweh Shalom- Peace maker,   Still the storm Abba- Father,  carry me Yahweh Shammah- Friend,  comfort me.  In the many names of the many facets You are,    Be all in one with me. Shape me in one accord, in agreement to all that You have established. In Jesus name! Amen. 

Good news! Do not be discouraged. Sometimes we will go astray from His direction. We may think we are going the right way but maybe we did not hear correctly. Or maybe our    stronghold (whether be fear, pride, control, escapism, skepticism, etc.) lead us left. But God! We may go astray but He is with us to lead us back. He will replenish us and never leave us hungry, cold or in the dark. Although the Israelites traveled 40 years what would of taken 40 days, the Lord never left them nor forsaken them. He provided them with manna, quill, cloud by day, fire by night, water from a rock and never their clothes tethered. All the while in the wilderness and in the desert He was raising an army to conquer the land promised to them. He is Lord!  Elijah in fear ran from Jezebel. In His fear the Lord met him where he was. The Lord replenished him and set Elijah to another journey so to strengthen him, deliver him and remove those strongholds. He transformed Elijah to be armed ...

What do you do when the Holy Spirit prompts you? Like a lover (the lover of your soul) longs and calls for your attention. Not tonight, I have a headache. I’m too busy, I’m too tired I want to sleep or maybe in the morning. Do you deny your spouse when he/she plans a date or Seeks some intimate time?  What do you do when the Lord gives you a command? The creator of humankind. The author of our lives. The beginning and the end. I’m too scared. Is that you talking Lord? I can’t or that’s too hard. But what if your supervisor gives you a directive? Sets up a meeting? Is there a choice to not show up?  “Then the Lord said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commands and instructions?” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭16:28‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ What if...? “In my bed at night I sought the one I love; I sought him, but did not find him.” ‭‭Song of Songs‬ ‭3:1‬ ‭HCSB‬‬ “As a deer longs for streams of water, so I long for You, God. I thirst for God, the living God. When can I come and a...
