Be gentle and forbearing with one another and, if one has a difference (a grievance or complaint) against another, readily pardoning each other; even as the Lord has [freely] forgiven you, so must you also [forgive]. Colossians 3:13 First, we have to acknowledge that forgiveness is not an emotion. It is a conscious choice which has nothing to do with how we feel. Forgiveness happens when we choose that we will no longer expect those who hurt us to repay us for the harm that was done. We choose that we will get on with our lives and no longer dwell on the hurt.
Join The SISTAHS Ministry International for a year of LIVING IN THE OVERFLOW 2013! The reality is that the love of Christ is so vast that it has to spill out of heaven. We have been called to live in the overflow of Christ’s supreme and divine love. Everything of consequence in this universe flows from the overflow of Christ’s love. When we live in the overflow, it changes our lives. The overflow changes our behavior. The overflow changes who we are and how treat others. So, take time and support our mission to empower, inform and inspire women & teenage girls who are victims of domestic violence, at-risk, single mothers and homeless, to impact their world!

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. I Peter 2:9 You are predestined to fulfill a purpose: Divinely Intended for Victory and Abundance. A Spiritual DIVA! In a royal family, certain relatives in the blood line possess special privileges. Because of teh blood of Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, you have privileges being in His royal family. Many times there is a fear of rejection, disapproval or failure that become a stronghold. But, you must remember you have not been given the spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind (I Timothy 1:7).
Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Phil. 4:6 Living close to holy things, working in the church, even speaking holy things does not necessarily mean one is living a holy life. We must keep in mind that excellence in faith, knowledge, endurance, patience and endless love requires a habit of discipline. A HABIT means exercise and is a maturing process. Ongoing maturity is simple: Think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, love, and of good report. If there be any virture or anything to praise, think on these.
Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24 What do you want? Jesus asks you. It is such a simple question, and it is that siimple. Are you coming to Jesus out of curiosity: Do you have some need you thihk He MIGHT meet? What do you say when Jesus asks you what you want? Do you even know whwat you want? Exactly what is it that you want from Jesus? Tell Him, in prayer, from your heart...!
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:28-29
"The fear of the Lord teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor." Proverbs 15:33
"God has made everything beautiful in its time." Ecclesiastes 3:11 We all have imperfections. We live in an imperfect world, but we have to realize we were created for God's purpose and we have to let our beautiful light shine through every facet of our being, as God expresses His colors and beauty through us in ways no one else can. We are created to shine with the light of God's creative genius. When we learn to appreciate ourselves in all our uniqueness, we will dare to hold our life up to the light. We will dare to live out the beauty we are created to express... clean and polished with the forgiveness of God.
Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. (Psalm 37:3-6) No person or company of people, no power in earth can touch your soul as you abide in Christ without first passing through His encircling presence and receiving the seal of His permission. If God be for you who can be against you. Nothing can disturb you or harm you, except God shall see that it si best for you, and shall stand aside to let it pass. What is needed is to see God in everything and to receiving everything directly from His hands, with no intervention of second causes. By Him and Him alone. It is to just this point that you must be brought to before you can know an abiding experience of entire abandonment and perfect trust in Him! Your abandonment must be to God, not to man and your trust must be in Him, not in any arm of another or flesh.
Prayer lead by Dea. Carlotta Eckford "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Ps. 139:13-14 YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE… you are beautiful YOU’RE bold YOU’RE courageous God will supply all of your needs according to his riches in glory. GOD wants to be your Jehovah -Rohi “the Lord our Shepherd.” HE HAS EQUIPPED YOU FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE… you are beautiful YOU’RE bold YOU’RE courageous God will supply all of your needs according to his riches in glory. GOD wants to be your Jehovah -Rohi “the Lord our Shepherd.” HE HAS EQUIPPED YOU FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!
"And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God." (Deut. 28:1-2) How many people know when you’re walking in obedience, here comes the devil...? Just when you’re at the brink of breakthrough When you’re about the grab that light at the end of the tunnel Just when you’ve climbed up that rope, back to the top and you’re not just tying a knot and hanging on any more, HERE THEY COME! Your enemies Your haters Even some friends and family Because believe or not, people can see and some people can sense when you’re about to breakthrough. Sometimes there’s a glow of inheritance that’s all over you! It’s a glow that even sometimes, yourself, can’t see, but others can see it. And here they come, trying to hold you back with their ball and chains or TACKLE YOU while you’re on your way to your breakthrough and while you’re on your way to make that touchdown! BREAKTHROUGH AFFIRMATION: I will continue to walk in obedience as I continue on the road to the Breakthrough Experience.
Prayer Lead by Enna Bachelor ~ “There are some things that I want to bless you with, but you don’t have room… partial obedience is disobedience…” An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up. Proverbs 12:25 Sometimes we are locked down and can't get breakthrough because we are tied up with our own situations and forget about others, or become resentful because others are moving on in their lives. We have to learn to celebrate other people and their accomplishments. When you give encouragement to someone else, you never know how it may affect their life. It may give someone the strength to do what they need to do. ENCOURAGEMENT. It doesn't sound like much, but it can mean everything to someone else. Send someone some encouragement today and you may be a part of someone's long lasting memory. BREAKTHROUGH AFFIRMATION: If I can help somebody then my living is not in vain.
“And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.” (Acts 6: 8) God is releasing a new level of power and authority to the body. There is a new anointing of the Holy Spirit for supernatural signs, wonders and miracles. What many people have been waiting for in this arena will finally begin to take shape. This is the year that God is going to use ordinary people to demonstrate extraordinary kingdom power. He is teaching us to be supernatural, naturally. This release of power will become clear as you prepare for your assignment and find your place in the body of Christ. So besides training, be bold in stepping into ministry positions and taking advantage of ministry opportunities. "Do not fear," says the Lord. "As you step out in faith, you will discover a level of boldness in this season along with the power." Unbelievers will be drawn in greater measure to the true power of God that will be demonstrated in this new season. Allow God to do His work in you this year as He prepares and positions you. Wait in expectation and anticipation of greater things. BREAKTHROUGH AFFIRMATION: I possess the power to Breakthrough...!
God is giving us a special anointing for breakthrough "The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." (Matthew 11: 21) It is time to fight for your deliverance and freedom. If you have stopped trying to be free and have surrendered to the control of the enemy, learning to live in your present crippling condition, it’s time to pick up the sword and fight once again. God will give you grace to get off the sidelines this year, but you must take the first step toward the playing field. God is releasing warring angels this year to defeat the powers of darkness that have come against you. The angelic army has never been in this exact position before. Now is the time to rise up and fight for your victory! God is pouring out the power to break that thing that has held you back, kept you down and kept you out of your full victory! God is giving you power and authority to speak to that mountain in your path and see it crumble before you. Your breakthrough is now. Keep fighting! Keep warring! The victory is in your mouth and in your hands! BREAKTHROUGH AFFIRMATION: I HAVE THE POWER TO FIGHT FOR MY PURPOSE.
Eldress Kim James shares BREAKTHROUGH PINTS to overcoming the drama in various areas of life.
God is releasing an anointing to leave your past behind “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18: 21) As healing of the past comes, God will change your words from confessions of hopelessness and despair to declarations of victory and freedom. Therefore, focus on your language this year. Watch what you say. As this grace for freedom is released, you must align your language with what the Word of God is saying over your life. Negative words falling from your lips will have the power to negate the release of freedom. I believe there is a special anointing for healing this year. And I decree and declare that everyone who is on this call and will listen in will finally put the pain of your past behind you, and severing the hold of your past. Chains will be broken this year! No longer will the pain of the past have power over you. Many of the wounds that God will heal this year are painful experiences from churches and Christians. Many soldiers in the body of Christ have been wounded by their fellow soldiers and leaders in the church. “But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him." (1 Corinthians 2: 9) BREAKTHROUGH ANOINTING AFFIRMATION: I PRESS TOWARD THE MARK OF MY GOALS AS I SPEAK POSITIVELY ABOUT MY FUTURE.
