Revelation: Stop Trying to Fix Broken Things

Are you ready to begin this year with a new revelation? Step out of your comfort zone and show people what you got? Are you tired of moving around in circles only to find yourself at a dead-end? If your answer is yes, know that you are not alone. In fact, I am right here with you. But, first, It’s important that we break the bad habits that have managed to hold us down for too long. On Sunday, before dawn break, Abba spoke to me in a dream about a bad habit of mine. When I woke up He gave me a revelation. Although the dream was given to me I believe it will be beneficial for you if you happen to have any bad habits you need to let go of. The dream simply put… I was late for school. Two people who seemed to be my roommates left before me to arrive at school on time. Although the school didn’t start until 8 a.m. I remember them leaving around 6 a.m. This particular morning I kept walking back and forth putting on the same walking shoes. My shoes however had a dilemma. One shoe had a wide slit in it yet I couldn’t see my bare toes only the outline of my toes. When I finally arrived at the school I was informed by my roommates that I had been talking in my sleep once again. And that was the end of the dream. Highlights of the Dream The condition of the shoe: My shoes were old and needed to be replaced. Bad Habit: I was late for school. Good examples in my life: My roommates left early to make it to school on time. After meditating on the highlights of my dream God began to speak to me by sharing new revelation. His response: You have good people in your life to lead you in the right direction. However, if you continue to try and figure out how to fix things that are broken without help you will always end up at your destination late or tardy. “So, how do I begin?” was my follow-up question. Immediately, Abba began to share with me a strategy I could use to break my bad habit. The list is below: Identify your circle. Who in your circle is beneficial/ helpful to you? Write out your bad habits. (i.e. I am late, I never complete a task) Choose someone in your circle who is a pro at what you are lacking and have them hold you accountable. Ask them to share with you the routine that helped them conquer what you are currently lacking in. Write what they share with you. After taking heed to Abba’s strategy I completing the tasks and saw wonderful results! You’ll be amazed at what you will learn and the small task you can incorporate into your own routine to break that bad habit once and for all, by simply completing the list above!! Try it put Hey friend! Did you enjoy the revelation you’ve read? If so, share your comments below. What was your greatest takeaway? I can’t wait to hear from you!

Revelation: It’s Time!

Did you know getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do? Would you like to know what’s greater than that? Receiving UNDERSTANDING! In Proverbs 4:7 King Solomon, son of David, clarifies this information best when he states: “Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom and in ALL your getting, get understanding.” Simply put, wisdom is the FIRST thing YOU should seek for when moving forward with the assignment God has given YOU. SECOND, it’s all about getting, grasping, and gaining an understanding of the information you now have. During this aggressive pandemic, known as the coronavirus, while many people are shutting down, God is amping YOU up because… IT’S TIME He has poured out great revelations and new instructions for us all and He would like for them to be revealed. Stepping into this season, this is what Abba shared with me: And the Lord Says: I am purging you and cleansing you from everything you think you know. Even things you avoid to share with me, I’m taking those away from you too. Now I know what you see is either hard to fathom or comprehend, but note that I got you baby girl. I got you man of God. Remember the battle is NOT yours but it’s mine (2 Chronicles 20:15) and guess what?!! I’ve already won it. So, be of good cheer. It’s time! It’s time to take action. It’s time to elevate your mind and eliminate your Stinky thinking. It’s time to let go of your past and focus on your future! Cut ties that latch on to your soul and allow me to heal your bruised wounds. Processes with me don’t happen overnight but trust me, they are worth the ride. Now receive it in Jesus’ Name! My God now isn’t that amazing?? Abba Father will blow your mind, won’t He? When He shared that insight with me I just couldn’t keep it to myself. I had to let it out. It is now time for you to do the same! Take heed to what He has revealed and then take action! He has you covered! Hey love, did Abba Father speak to you in this word? If so, comment below what He had to say! I’d love to hear!

Late Nights and Early Morning with Abba Father- Perfection

How are your conversations with God? Are they simple and sweet or in-depth and intriguing? When was the last time you spent time with God? What about the last time you prayed? Did He share wisdom and new revelation with you? A few nights ago, I found myself doubting Him and questioning the route He requested I take this season in my life. During my time of worry, He led me to a message He shared with me a few months back in regards to perfection. Tonight, I would like to share that message with you in hopes it encourages you. This is installment two of late nights and early mornings with Abba Father. Late Nights and Early Morning with Abba Father Perfection God: Who told you, you had to be perfect? Now, before you start hooping and hollering I really want you to think about that. 🤔 Erica: Hmmm, I don’t know. No one specifically. I guess the image of the world. Because everything looks perfect, I assume you have to be. ( Even as I’m typing this right now… You see! It’s engraved in me.) My words have to be perfect, auto-corrected or I won’t be accepted. You see, even as I read over my work it automatically happens. I have to make sure it’s right or I won’t feel satisfied. Even my thoughts are moving, wondering right now what this conversation will lead to. I just have to be- God: Erica… Did I tell you ANY of those things? It’s okay-although you know the answer, you can think about it. Erica: No. God: Well again, tell me, who told you these things? Erica: Hmmm, I guess no one individually. Elementary school comes to mind. We had to have answers right on assignments. We had to treat people with respect. The smallest mistake we made we’d be punished. And hey I just didn’t want to be punished. So, I made the decision that I just had to be perfect or at least close to it in my mind. So, I’d help my teacher out. I’d try to stay as quiet as possible in the classroom and speak only when spoken to. I thought I was doing a pretty good job. God: And tell me how did that work out for you? How did that work out as you grew up? Did you end up perfect? What is perfect to you anyway? Erica: For the most part it worked out for me. I managed to make friends, connect with adults in an adultlike manner (if that makes any sense) it’s like I felt like I understood them more. Like because I acted a certain way, different than other kids they liked me better and because I was able to please them it made me want to get better. Perfect to me is a person with NO flaws. EVERYTHING is in line. Everything falls into place. God: Who do you know like that? With NO flaws, NO issues, NO problems? Erica: Nobody really comes to mind. I would name a few people from church but because I know their testimony I know they haven’t ALWAYS been as they are now. Hmmm, I guess the closest to perfection that I can think of are celebrities. Because I don’t see them on a day-to-day basis they seem like they have it all together from my point of view. Beyonce for example. Hey, look you know her. The perfect hair, the perfect family, the beehive of fans. She’s still on Earth and apparently, her dream has come true because she’s “made it”. Look all I’m saying is she must have hopped on something perfect in her life to get to where she is now. God: Do you think Beyonce is perfect? Stop that. Analyzing things. Just be straightforward. Do you think Beyonce is perfect? Erica: No. God: Why not? You just told me all she has and all she does. Doesn’t that put her on the perfect list? Erica: I guess it does, but then again nobody is perfect. God: Hmmm… What was that? Erica: Sigh… Nobody is perfect. God: Interesting, so again why do you think you have to be?? Erica: I guess it’s just a mind thing. Growing up I was conditioned to have it that way. God: Did I ever tell you that? Did I or have I ever told you, that you had to be perfect? Erica: Hmmm. No, you haven’t. I recall you telling me to do good, but you never told me to be perfect. God: What does good mean to you? Erica: Someone who tries their best. They attempt to get things right that they might mess up. But again I guess the big thing is that they try. And they may not get it right but they truly try, which I believe makes them good. God: Are you good or perfect? What would you describe yourself as? Erica: I guess good. Okay no guessing, I know I’m good ( no pride intended) 😉 God: And what have I required of you? Erica: To do good. God: Did I ever say perfect? Erica: Nope. You said to do good and turn away from evil. God: Now, I know you just read that scripture in Matthew where Jesus said, “to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48 NLT What do you think about that? What do you believe my intent was/ is? Erica: Well it looks like you want us to be wise, kind, and fair to others who treat us wrong, just as you have with us. Although the word perfect can mean without flaw it also can mean accurate and pure, faithful. Oh yeah and after reading the Merriam Webster’s dictionary mature is highlighted too. God: Do you believe when you read this scripture now, I want you to be without flaw or more so mature? Better yet what do I want you to walk in? Erica: What

Dear Aspiring Entrepreneurs

Last Tuesday, do you remember getting together with friends and family, prepping your outfit for a night of flashing lights and fireworks? New Year’s Eve was here and we were all anticipating the visionary year of 2020. For some, many were ready to say goodbye to 2019 because of its horrific memories and tedious obstacles. Others experienced hints of melancholy because the best year of their life was coming to a close. Once the clock struck 12 it was a wrap. The New Year had arrived and we were entering into a new decade. As I began to mumble off my list to God once again of what I wanted to accomplish before closing my eyes, He placed my lips on pause while whispering in my ear, “Your Time is Now.”I pondered on His revelation as soon as I received it. Your Time is Now. Chewing on the matter a little longer, I had a feeling He wasn’t just talking to me. In fact, I believe He was talking to the body of Christ, specifically aspiring entrepreneurs. This evening, I would like to share with you what He’s placed on my heart to reveal to you: Dear Aspiring Entrepreneurs, Your time is now! For years you’ve set in the back of the room twiddling your fingers and thumbs waiting for your perfect time to come. The perfect time for you to jumpstart your business, the perfect time to write your book, the perfect time to launch your organization. and the list goes on. However, I am here to share with you, no more excuses because your time is now! No more holding back, no more questioning and no more second-guessing. I have called your vision for an appointed time (Habakkuk 2:3) and as for you my child, it’s time to move! Let Go of Naysayers and Let Me Move. For too long you’ve cried out to me requesting an answer wanting to know your purpose. My son, my daughter once I shared it with you that was it. It is now your responsibility to take action, for you are aware faith without works is dead (James 2:28). You have to move my love. You must take action. Keep in mind your task is complete. I declared it on the cross when I said, “Tetelestai (It Is Finished)” (John 19:30). Beware! Obstacles WILL come. My son, my daughter, obstacles will come. There is no doubt about it. As a believer, you have been called for a purpose. Since I suffered for you, it is your task to follow in my footsteps (1 Peter 2:21). Although some paths may be difficult I do not want you to fear, for I am with you and I will strengthen you, in all your situations. Warning: The Devil is NOT your friend. He comes only to kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10). However, you have power and dominion over him. Your only task is to resist him and he will flee. As you move forward in what I have called you to do, do not get caught up in the flashy stages of your business, but remember what I told you first. Keep me FIRST in ALL you do and everything WILL be established. (Proverbs 16:3) In 2020 expect: -Provision -Prosperity -New revelations -Closer Communities -Deeper Relationships and more! I am here my son. I am here my daughter. Will you allow me in? The sky is the limit, my people are waiting. Love, Abba Father Amen! Talk about a Word! Did you receive what Abba Father had to say?

Let Go and Let God Handle It

Have you ever slept with a lot on your mind, hoping when you woke up everything would be okay? How did you feel? More often than not, your issue was still staring back at you. If anything, you felt worse because time had passed and yet you still had no answer. Listen, I’ve been there. I would cry my eyeballs out escalating my issue to Abba (Our Father God) in hopes that after I let it all out, once I arose from my deep sleep, the issue would have been dealt with right then and there. Unfortunately, it didn’t work like that. If anything, I’d wake up and the cycle would begin again. Pray, cry, sleep, ask questions of why and worry, and repeat. During one of my cycles, after waking up my soul began to prep for its why and worry segment. Questions formulated in my mind, tears began to make front row seats in my eyes, but before the segment began it was stopped. As clear as you can read this message Abba dealt with me by saying: STOP! Let me pour out of you. Let me move through you. If you’re always trying to figure out the process how can I move? When you pray to me, LEAVE it there! Let me handle it. “Let me handle it…” Those words rang loudly in my mind as I replayed what Abba shared with me. “Let… ME… Handle… It.” My friends, nowhere in His statement did He say, “Erica, I want you to take care of this and I’ll handle the rest”. He simply said, “Let me handle it” meaning He wanted me to back away from the situation and give it to Him. As I began to get myself together and meditate on what He informed me to do, then He shared more by leading me to 1 Peter 8-11 which reads: The dim light in my head immediately lit up because instantly, I was now aware of what I had been falling into. All along I was questioning my faith by worrying about the situation, even after praying to Abba. I was doubting God. This is exactly why Abba reminded me to “be sober, alert and cautious at all times” because the enemy WILL come to attack. I share this information with you today to let you know you are not alone. Abba sees you. He hears your cry and He feels your pain. No matter your situation, someone else is experiencing the exact same thing you are. Possibly worst. Overall, when you find yourself in that state unaware of what to do but pray, do just that, and remember to leave it there. Let Go and Let God! Are you going through something? Do you need a listening ear? Beautiful people comment below what you believe God wants you to let go. Since this topic is very dear to my heart I am willing to touch and agree with you in prayer.
