Day 14 Through His Eyes 23 Day Challenge{Babysitter From Hell}



There Is Healing In The Name Of Jesus!



Sexual abuse in any form is a horrible thing, but nothing gets worse than sexual abuse of an innocent child. Why would any adult, sane or insane perpetrate such a horrendous act? In some cases the same thing was done to them, they are only repeating a cycle. What about the others who experienced the same abuse, but never repeated this vicious cycle. Could it be, there is something or someone who has a master plan and a final say in the matter? Could there be a plan put in place before the foundation of the earth that can heal the wounds of such atrocities?  Yes, there is in the Fathers House. Where He heals the sin-sick soul and makes the body whole. Whether you were or  still are the victim or perpetrator, your complete redemption, healing, salvation and, deliverance lies in Jesus Christ!

You Are Never to Old To Be Free!

Someone Loved Me
no one could have ever convinced me that the
hole in my soul would someday be healed as 
the result of being filled with the love of Christ. I just
assumed my inner pain, shame, self-hatred, loss of
dignity and self-respect would be a permanent part of
my life—until the very end. Furthermore, every form of
disappointment created by myself or others seemed to
confirm my belief that I was not good enough or
worthy of the goodness, grace, and mercy Christ
promised in His Word. Then, I stumbled on the stark
reality that my problem was not so much to do with          
the abuse, but rather, the strongholds that were
created as a result of it. My freedom was not contingent
on forgetting the trauma of the painful events but had
more to do with being liberated from the fortress that
had been designed to keep me in a constant state of
mental defeat—spirit, soul, and body.
This book takes you into the most important aspects of
my journey. A journey of pain, fear, guilt, bitterness,
and feelings of unworthiness. But also one of
deliverance, freedom, peace, and joy. It is a passage
from being a victim of sexual abuse to being a victor
over the abuse through Jesus Christ.
If you have experienced abuse in your life. I pray that
reading this book and walking through my journey will
help you to find the love, peace, and friendship I have
found in Jesus. May the Word of God and the power of
the Holy Spirit touch your life, heal the wounds and set
you free to live again.

The Rest Of The Story/The 2 Packages..



While listening to a training webinar featuring Tamara Lowe, she shared an experience she had, when she started a remodeling project in her home. It seemed as if one of her neighbors felt compelled to come over and share the nightmare she had experienced when remodeling her home. Consequently, when the lady left Tamara, said she began to feel discouraged and had thoughts of scrapping the idea altogether

Then she said all of a sudden she heard herself say, wait a minute, I am not signing for that package. Remodeling my home is going to be one of the greatest experiences of my life. It is going to be wonderful and my house is going to be beautiful, and in the end, that is exactly what happened.


It was at this point I got a revelation. I realized that at crucial times in my life I had also received 2 packages, one spoke a blessing bringing life, the other spoke a curse bringing death, and my choice would have a major impact on the course of my future. It reminded me of Deuteronomy (30:19) where God tells us he gives us a choice between life and death, blessing, and curses. And we should choose life.

My first 2 packages arrived early in life. One package said I was doomed to the failure of being a statistic. I was poor, with an alcoholic teenage mother, and absentee father. But the second package said that In the Ghetto only the strong survive. I decided to be one of the strong, so I signed for that package.


Then as I entered my teens some traumatic events of the past caught up with me and I launched a reign of terror on my own soul. I began fighting, ditching school, running away and going in and out of juvenile hall. Finally, the system threw in the towel on me and I was on my way to Ventura correctional facility, which was a prison for juvenile offenders. It was during this time that I received the 2nd set of packages. One of my teachers told me I was no good and I would never amount to anything. I burned that package. The second package came when I went before a judge for sentencing and he told me that after reviewing my case, he felt that I had a tremendous amount of untapped potential, but something in my life had gone terribly wrong so he was going to give me another chance by getting me the help I needed. So I signed for that package.  And My life of criminal behavior ended.


Years later I got married and had 2 children when I received another set of packages.
One revealed to me my husband, an excellent father and provider was a serial cheater.
I set that package to the side. The second package reminded me that this man loved me and honestly felt I was the best person that had ever walked the face of the earth. So I signed for that package.Fast-forward, I ended up leaving years later not because of infidelity but due to disagreements on how the children should be raised.



Shortly after the divorce, I received another set of packages. One came through meeting some foreign university students, who convinced me that I had what it took to enter the university and receive a degree in a field of my choice. I filed that package away. Then the second package came in the form of me discussing the idea with my mother to hear what she thought. She started laughing telling me what a stupid idea it was. I did not have enough education, I would be competing with kids 3 times younger than I was, I had 2 children and a job to deal with. I would never make it. Then I started to remember how as a child she was always talking about how dumb I was and laugh about it with her friends. I decided not to sign for that package, I went to junior college transferred to the University, made Deans list, president's list. Graduated with 2 degrees in one.

Moved on through life hit another ruff patch. Got involved with the wrong people started using drugs and living in a very fast lane. When another set of packages arrived. One told me this was a life choice I would not recover from, addiction is not something easily controlled. Life as I once knew it was over. But the 2nd package came in the form of receiving a Bible from a friends mother. There I met a man named Jesus who explained to me that he had given his life for me and that I would be able to live the abundant life, so I immediately signed for that package. That was almost 40 years ago, I never turned back.

Went on serving the Lord with all I had to offer. However, when I hit the seasoned years, I began to have regrets about past mistakes, Felt I had missed the plan of God for my life and walking out my destiny.
Thank God, I received another set Of packages. One agreed that I missed God, And all my gifts and talents would be buried in the grave right next to me. I have to admit I almost signed for that package. But when I looked at the other package It said I had not missed the plan of God for my life, my life experience was actually going to be used to usher me into the assignment God had for me to complete, so I rushed to sign for that package and wrote and published 2 daily devotionals. One for adults and one for children.


But as I went back and looked at my life I realized the highlight had been the time I overheard a guy I was dating at the time telling my son what a bad boy he was. I deliberately did not intervene because I wanted to hear what my son's response would be and after he let him get it all out and say everything he wanted to say. I waited and after a few seconds, I heard my son say. But my mom thinks I am good. My heart leaped for joy because I Knew that as a man of color I did not have to be concerned about his future because he also knew which package to sign for.

The Healing Of Sexual Trauma..



The greatest obstacle in overcoming the trauma of sexual abuse can be the acceptance of spirit led deliverance orchestrated by our Lord and Savior and then carried out by the Holy Spirit. It can be an agonizing process because the process of deliverance is also attached to being able to genuinely forgive the perpetrator. This process can sometimes take many years as layer upon layer of wounds and pain are being constantly uncovered, exposed and then, at some point healed. Consequently, there are times we will not be aware that healing in a particular area has even taken place until another unrelated painful event takes place, and the Holy Spirit shines His light into an area of your spirit, and you discover there is no longer darkness dwelling there. The most valuable lesson I have learned through this process is: Pain sometimes heals pain, and wounds can often heal other wounds, when we submit our mind will and emotions to the Lordship of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They will together orchestrate the perfect plan for our complete healing and redemption. To God be all glory, honor, and praise. Amen!

Do You Wanna Be A Toys R Us Kid ?


I remember loving that commercial jing (back in the 80's) when Toy's  "R" Us was at the height of popularity, but can we really afford to be Toy's "R" Us Kids in the Kingdom of God for such a time as this?

2 Corinthians 3:4-6English Standard Version (ESV)

Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
