I always feel like God is up to something! In fact I know he is, I like how he expressed it in Jeremiah 29:11 when he said: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. If you’re like me you have some ‘desires of your heart’ on the altar and are excitedly waiting for the manifestation. Speaking of

I think death has to be one of those awkward moments where you just don’t know what to say for a lot of people. There are hundreds if not thousands of books written on the topic of how to comfort those that are mourning. I thought about this today as I posted on Facebook and beyond that one of my sisters (I had 21 siblings total-what a blessing!) went on today, she was a beautiful God-loving

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything on this blog, and I do miss writing but finding the time to write is a challenge within itself. I could say that I don’t have the time but that wouldn’t be true…it’s more like I don’t make the time. After all that’s what prioritizing is…it’s making the time for things you deem important and when we don’t make the time we’re simply saying with our

I was up recently at 3am counseling a brother and his wife, he’s an addict and she’s had enough! He talked and I listened. He’s been though many programs and has been an addict for many years. His life cycle has been up, down and up, down and you guessed it…up, down. Most would look at him and dismiss him and say ” he’s never going to change and he’s never going to be anything in life.”

I had an interesting conversation with one of my spiritual daughters recently; she knew the Lord was speaking to her with an idea that he wants her to carry through to completion but she was seeking an ‘anchor’. An anchor? Define anchor, what does that mean? After much discussion I learned that this anchor is another word for assurance. It made me think, I mean really, really think. God says

A family member passed today and it’s never a great occasion for us when those we care about and love transition from this life to life eternal. So many thoughts have gone through my mind on this as I wonder is it a sheer act of selfishness to want to keep them with us…is it more about us than about them and on an even greater scale, is it more about us than about God’s divine timing for this

READ THE NEWS STORY HERE I read an interesting article about a 16 year old who used a Walmart intercom system to announce and encourage all Black people to leave the store. That event within itself does not surprise me, what surprises me is that that the president of the Gloucester County chapter of the NAACP, Loretta Winters is overlooking truth. Without a doubt this is a racially motivated

I just downloaded a few bible apps onto my iPhone, I was wondering will the day come where people will not carry the traditional paper bibles we are so accustomed to? Already the market is inundated with paper books. Self publishing has become popular and everyone is an author these days but what about the changing face of media as we know? Devices like Kindle have changed the face of reading,

I do believe God is calling for us to simplify our lives so we can spend more quality time with him; I’m determined to do just that. Across the various social networks, blogs and face to face settings many who want more of Jesus are feeling the need to slow down, take a deep breath and tweek a few things to devote more time to strengthening their relationship with Jesus. I'm excited to

Tweet From @gapmin: Aren't you glad Jesus doesn't present your prayer request to the Father in the form of blah, blah blah? I confess I’m guilty of entering the Blah Zone—my husband and I were talking and as I told him about family matters I came to a point in the conversation where I said “and blah blah”…he responded what, just two blahs? Two blahs is more than enough don’t you think? But I

There are two sets of doors leading out of my office building, one is automatic and the other opens by hand-it’s the old fashioned “push me” door type. To exit the building you go through one set of doors and then through a foyer to another set of doors before landing outside under the awning. As I was leaving the office today I was in step with another woman, we arrived at the exit at the same

The last few days have been spent ministering and sharing with wonderful people who suffer from depression. I think “suffer from” is more appropriate than suffer with …after all, depression is not suffering when the individual yields to it, it is very happy to bring us to a point of brokenness. But I have to ask myself why so many people are going through so many cycles of depression and not

I’m wondering what God has to do to get our attention; I mean to really get it? What will it take to arrest us and cause us to stop and realize that it’s him or nothing and that without him we can do nothing that has eternal value worth having. I don’t mean he’s forcing us to serve him because our kingdom service is a heart thing. I’m a Christian simply because I love Christ. I remember having

Why do we say "expect the UNexpected?" If God has spoken something to you and you believe it, why does it remain UNexpected? I’m expecting the expected—every promise God has made , I’m expecting it! Everything he inspired and breathe on that hasn’t entered my heart, mind or thought process I’m expecting (1 Cor 2:9)! Can you expect something you haven’t even imagined yet, sure you can. Why, simply

I’ve was up all night praying for a family member that didn’t have the strength to pray for himself yet the threat of his mind slipping away loomed large.

Today my sister-n-law woke from a coma and I’m thankful for what God has done. She had been in a diabetic coma for a week. Last night I was at a healing service where we prayed for those in the hospital, home-bound, in nursing homes, in prison and spoke God’s word of healing to them. He did it!

We all face what Much-Afraid faces in the book by Hannah Hurnard but I’m struggling with the whole allegory thing. It’s not my kind of reading, for the most part I don’t like fiction.

In my family it was a special time of sharing moreso than giving or receiving presents but we always managed to remove the tape and sneak a peep each year. One tradition we kept was we got to open one resent on Christmas eve. I didn't continue that tradition with my son because as

With all the news swirling around about Tiger Woods it should be difficult for us not to take a look at ourselves and realize that someone is watching us and things done in the dark eventually come to the light. One thing I find puzzling is that people are disappointed in Tiger as though he asked them to make him a role model and put him on a pedestal. Eldrick Tont “

Precious On YouTube Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire is a film you need to see! I had the privilege of watching Precious today,(view YouTube trailer) I wouldn’t suggest it for everyone as it is an emotionally charged movie depicting what is theatre for some but real life for others. There are just as many people still reliving their abuse as there are talking about it and being

Of course it is Thanksgiving and I have so much to be thankful for that I can’t talk about it all here. At the top of my list is Jesus. Traditionally, many find this day to be a day of family, food and a dedicated time to thank God for their many blessings PLUS an opportunity to be off work; let’s not kid ourselves who doesn’t enjoy a day off work—I do. I’m especially thankful for my salvation

By now you are aware that Oprah may be transitioning to her next season in life, It is a part of the latest media buzz but are you transitioning to your next season in life? Oprah has done and is doing her thing and apparently has insight enough to know when it’s time for change-whether it’s a big change or a little change. Transitioning is an O thing--as in Over!

I received a phone call today to pray for someone I have known for over 40 years that has begun using drugs. When I say this person has begun using drugs I mean he has begun using them ‘again’. It has been a vicious cycle of drug addiction for this brother who states he is a Christian and loves God. Some who read this will say if he is drug addict he cannot be a Christian and this post is not

I did catch a portion of Larry King’s interview with Bishop TD Jakes of the Potter House Dallas, TX . Many topics were addressed including the possibility that prosperity preaching contributed to the housing crisis that we are facing today. What role, if any did prosperity preaching and a “go get your stuff mentality” play in creating the economic downturn we are currently experiencing? Many

I am always inclined 2say "Life and Death" but d actual verse says "DEATH & LIFE"... we have 2 die 2self B4 we LIVE in Christ... Prov 18:21I am inclined to say Life and Death are in the power of the tongue but the verse says death and life are in the power of the tongue-when you really think about it we have to die to our desires before we can truly LIVE in Christ. We talk often about speaking

I had a wonderful time today celebrating the Christ in my mother-in-law Margie, she’s truly beautiful inside and out. Although it was a birthday celebration there was a time of sharing our testimonies. It’s so important to share where God has brought us from…. Many shared regarding the impact Margie (I call her mom) has had on their lives. One lady shared how Margie’s testimony caused her to

twitprayer@twittistry.orgThere is such a need for us to pray and to pray one for another. Beginning 2010, I will have a weekly time of prayer dedicated to covering the prayer request I receive via Twitter. I will announce the day of the week in December. To minimize spam we are not accepting prayer request via DM. You are invited to join me in praying.

I’ve spent the last week beginning my recovery process after having surgery, its going. As much as I’d love to write I needed to rest my body and my mind and just be refreshed. So here I am with so much I could write about today but I won’t. I’m still resting but was sparked to thinking after reading of a Twitter connections’ search for God as he goes through a divorce after seventeen years. More

Just sitting thinking and reviewing a question God posed to me prior to election time. It was a question that literally shock me to the core. Like many of you I pray for our nation; that we will be a nation of repentance putting God first. Are we headed in the right direction?God’s word is clear to those who have an ear to hear what the spirit is saying to the church. I want to share with you a

I’m not a sports fan, definitely not football but I enjoyed and was blessed at the Cotton Bowl, Dallas yesterday. It was refreshing to see a focus on Christ. The invocation was wonderful and a liturgical dance was presented by a mixed group of dancers from churches across the Dallas area. NOW that’s Ephesians 4:16 being demonstrated—a body fitly joined together. We as a collective body must

Many have stopped praying in discouragement because they are not seeing manifested results or at least not seeing results in the manner and the time in which they would like. Our prayers must be prayed for impact. When I say impact

I’m thankful that God has placed me In a position to be able to minister to women. I laugh now because around 2003 I was not so happy to have the opportunity. I recall the time when the Lord told me to start ministering to women and finally after much protesting I obeyed. Why I protested nobody knows because with me God always wins.I’ve been thinking about women and the innate power God gave them

I hear so much about how God loves us so tenderly and how he deals with us in such a loving and tender way and we all know that he loves us but does he deal with everyone ‘gently’ and oh so sweetly? I mean we all have different personalities, temperaments and characteristics. I’m inclined to believe that the Lord meets us

Recently the Lord has been impressing on me in a very strong way concerning the growing trend for encouragement. In this down turned economy who wouldn’t want to be encouraged? In the midst of all the encouragement God wants to remind us that his ultimate desire is for us to come to repentance. Prophetically speaking the atmosphere is charged with a prophetic utterance here and one there all

Tweet from @gapminWill my 500th follower be a spammer? tick -tock, tick- tockI'm pleased to announce we now have over five hundred followers on our gapmin Twitter and we appreciate each and every follower. Connecting with godly and wonderful new connections is a great thing. This ignites my passion to see souls come to the Lord. If we can connect for Twitter we can connect for Christ. Ephesians 4

Tweet from @calledwomanI used 2 try to fix things myself, took me a while but I finally learned that my actions R bandaids & God's actions are final solutions!Seriously, I was controlled by unbelief and wanting things to be perfect. If it was broke (in my opinion) I tried to fix it and of course I had my own way of fixing it. My way didn't work, but I kept on trying. I was getting nowhere,

Today's fast paced environment where people are "plugged in" (phones, mp3 players, computers, TV, other media etc..) almost 24/7 make it easy for the enemy to distract

Since Seven Pounds with Will Smith is last year's release I assume you all have seen it. I rarely watch television or movies, it's just not my thing. BUT I enjoyed seven pounds, the storyline was great. By the way this is not a critique of the movie, I'll leave that for the media guru's.In case you haven't watched it let me make a long story short, Ben Thomas (Will Smith) causes a car accident in

What an awesome time for the people of God who are aligned to hear and obey the voice of the Lord. The last few weeks have been a great time of celebration for G.A.P. Ministries as we were instruments of sending forth labourers to the harvest fields. I am convinced that many forget the five ascension gifts mentioned in Ephesians 4 are gifts to the body of Christ with a specific assignment to

@CalledwomanWhether life, business or ministry we will find that we only know half of what we know.....the other half is a work in progress.I've been talking about and hearing a lot about having a teachable spirit and I totally agree we must be life learners. I have crossed paths over the last few months with some anointed know-it-alls. People that have all the answers and the insight for

Any where there is an original you will find a counterfeit. This holds true for the apostolic-prophetic as well. One of the trends that disturbs me most for this season as it relates to the restoration of the apostle and the prophet to the body of Christ is that the "false apostles and prophets" must come on the scene also. We hear a lot about false prophets but little about false apostles (2

The last few days have reinterated something that weighs heavy on my heart; the prophetic voice of this season. I am speaking specifically of the prophet's voice that has been snatched by the wind either because it has been silenced (never released) or was released in a unfruitful manner or season.Many prophetic voices have been choked out by fear. There seems to be a cluster of God's prophets

I posted the following tweet and got a DM asking me what I meant about "loving outside of the box".If ur religion or spiituality d/n advocate u loving "outside the box" you are surely serving the wrong god.Boxed Love allows us to love those who love us, those who believe and worship like us,

I am thankful for the powerful outpouring of the Lord at A Woman Revealed! workshop and the Positioning4Purpose Workshop today. Both workshops proved to be INpowering times of God demonstrating his power and his bubbling forth.

As I have been in prayer today God has impressed upon my heart that many are so caught up in "their season" that they have left him out. Not out of the presentation of piety they put forward but out of being the meat of the message. The cliche that "it's your season" sounds great and is exciting but as I prayed he said "it's not their season!".Luke 10:2 The Lord reminds us today that the harvest

As we shared in the last post Jeremaih paid a big price in his obedience to God. Yes, Jeremiah decided he would remain quiet but he couldn't. Every prophet and prophetic person must prepare themselves to stand in the race of rejection. You like Jesus will be rejected! It doesn't feel good to be rejected and we'd like to think if we are obeying God that we should not have to endure rejection,

We talked about how Jeremiah felt that he would forbear and not speak of God due to experiencing rejection from the people. Jeremiah had a challenging task like every prophet does--he had to give the people the word of the Lord and in Jeremiah 19:10-11 he was given instructions by God to break the bottle in the site of the people demonstrating how God would break them in such a way that they

Before I continue in this post let me say all of God's people are prophetic --or should be. The spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus Christ (Rev 19:10).

I haven't put together a puzzle since I was a child but I have encountered a lot of puzzle pieces recently looking to find where they fit in.
