Hello sweet sister,
Prayer time and candles?
It’s the best!
Sets the ambience for a beautiful holy and sacred time with the Lord.
I LOVE IT!
If you love frankincense, try Ancient Gates.
If you love birthday cake try Celebration.
My favorite part is that not only are they clean and smell incredible! Just as described, they are PRAYED over!
And let me tell you! You, I feel the atmosphere in my room change when I lit these.
These are soo good!

Hello beloved,
I just wanted to share real quick on how to know if you are in God’s presence.
People talk about it all the time, and honestly it’s taken me years to come to this point. It’s worth sharing. I’ve learned so much from watching my husband. He is a gift.
In His presence is everything we want, safety, provision and alignment.
Out of it is certain death.
Just because we love God doesn’t mean we are in His presence.
I love going to the book of Galacians as a general guide.
5:22 the fruits of the Holy Spirit
22 ¶ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”
You can go down that list.
Ask yourself…
Am I in God’s supernatural peace?
No peace? = you stepped out of His presence and possibly into fear and it could also be He trying to get your attention to tell you the cloud is moving or something else. That’s a great time to start praising Him. A great man of God once said “praise will keep you on your path.”
I am I joyful? There is NEVER a reason for any lover of God to EVER be sad and sorrowful- that’s not to confused with a holy grieving for the loss of a loved one.
Am I acting gentle? Or is there anger, irritation and bitterness in the heart?
So as you go down this list, you will know and God will show you.
If you are walking in offense … you have stepped out of His presence and have left the door open to the enemy.
If you are feeling sad and down… that’s not God.
Anxiety= not Holy Spirit.
The fruits of the flesh…
19 ¶ Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery,fnfornication, uncleanness, lewdness,20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,21 envy, murders,fndrunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Such a great scripture on how to know where your heart is at and how to CONSTANTLY be evaluating it.
I pray this blesses you.
Also, there’s a righteous anger and an unholy one. There’s a righteous grieving and an unholy one.

Hi beautiful sister,
Do you remember the moment you were saved?
I sure do. To His glory, I share part of my story.
Sister, I WAS A MESS! Total misfit. The black sheep of the family. The outcast. The rejected one. The SUPER lost one.
A broken young woman.
I still remember being at the Lifeway Christian store and my spiritual mother was about to buy me my first bible.
We got down on our knees. God bless her heart, she’s now with Jesus.
She held my hand and asked me if I wanted to accept Jesus into my life.
All I knew was I was in so much pain and I wanted help and I’d tried nearly everything else.
I thought what do I have to loose?
I said yes. Nothing crazy happened. That was it.
But it was the PEACE OF GOD THAT CAPTIVATED ME.
You see I had been tormented my whole life.
Then after receiving an invitation to home church, I finally accepted it. Years later.
Then I felt this PEACE that I never knew before… I thought WHAT IS THIS?!!!!!
But it was as soon as I left that it seemed all hell was waiting for me.
So I was desperate for Sunday church.
Then the peace came back when I read the bible.
So I spent HOURS soaking in the word daily. Then it got to the point where I’d read the bible for like 8 hours a day and anytime I could.
But when I stopped reading… the Supernatural peace left.
It wasn’t until I met my husband that he taught me how to have peace always.
It came through fighting the spiritual battle and taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and only thinking on Him and His promises and goodness. CASTING DOWN THOUGHTS NOT OF GOD.
Doing the basics, praying, anointing, fasting, using scripture to silence and win the battle. Refusing to sin in my heart or with my words.
Fighting the good fight and never settling for anything less than His peace. Super imperfect but never quitting.
So years later, here I am and I tell you that God is real.
And if you have never said His prayer you don’t need anything fancy, just a repentant heart
You can say this prayer: Jesus come into my heart, I make You my Lord and savior, help me, I turn from my old ways. I am Yours, save me.
And with a grateful heart I AM sooo excited to share our NEW- SAVED COLLECTION!
It’s the beautifully hydrating Lip Salve in a beautiful mini compact.
So every time you apply Saved to your lips, you remember that YOU ARE HIS and let that speak to your deepest core knowing that the words on the compact which say Seint remind you that you are a Saint of Jesus Christ.
I pray that blessed you.
May God get all the glory.
💜

“by grace you have been saved through faith – Eph.2.8.”
For, we are unto God, a sweet savor of Christ, and them that are saved. Second Corinthians chapter 2, verse 15. 
Sister,
It is our dependency on the Lord that will sustain us during the hard times.
I heard someone say this today and it was soooo good!!! I had to share it.
Are we dependent on the Lord our God. These are questions I ask myself?
Or are we dependent on the internet? Are we dependent on our next financial check? Are we dependent on ourselves?
Brother John said, (paraphrased) “many seek His will but NOT His face.”
It’s in the present moment that HE IS FOUND.
So when the bible says… pray always.
God means what He says.
It’s a constant communion. As my beloved husband says, “nanosecond by nanosecond.”
And it’s when we take our eyes off Him that the focus changes. Only one thing can have our focus.
Then the doubts, fear and hell is allowed to creep in.
Today I found myself at a place where peace was gone. And I had it allowed it for more that I ought to have. But by His grace He made me aware and I KNEW it was because I took my gaze off of Him and was staring at the problem. Then it seemed to grow instantaneously.
I repented and dropped to my knees. Physically and in heart posture and repented. He so lovingly embraced me. His unshakable peace returned.
I pray sister, that we are so hyper aware of His peace and His face that when He moves His eyes, we see … because our focus in always on Him.
In Jesus name. Love you. JC
Have you ever heard it said, “she’s entitled to have her own opinion?”
Ah the little lies.
Is that was God says?
Or are we to take each thought captive to the obedient of Christ?
I want share something Papa showed me yesterday.
Anytime a family member is out of alignment with God, they open the door to the enemy.
Legal access.
What does that look like on a practical level.
Anytime the heart gets hard, it must NEVER stay there.
The longer the person waits to run to God, the larger the problem grows.
So anytime we are aware of our hearts getting – it’s our responsibility to RUN to God quickly.
Let us pray always that we not offend the Lord.
Matt.26:41 “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
