News from Essance - Reinvent Your Life!

This morning as I was lying in bed, I begin to talk the Lord about some things that I would love to see happen in my life. As I begin to tell Him tears begin to roll down my face and even as I write to you I can't help but cry simply because if any of you have ever had a dream locked up inside of your heart and have been desiring for it to come to past then you will understand my cry. As, I finished my prayer my mind begin to wonder about all of the other things that I have to do for everyone else and I had to call my mind back in. I recently was teaching my class, 'the divine diva,' and my topic was, 'Lord, untie Me.' I begin to teach on how our minds are tied up with memories of failure, regrets, and disappointments making one to believe that life could or can not ever get any better than where we are right now and that things will always be the same no matter how hard we try.

The Lord, begin to minister to me and He said to me, that I needed to be more consistent in my prayers, faith, and works about my dreams and that I must become more aggressive in my pursuit of happiness and my purpose. Then, He told me that I was afraid to be who I see because I had been walking around feeling sorry for myself, dwelling on how things didn't work out for me in the past. How I am afraid to let people come into my life because I can't bear the thought of being hurt again by anyone. He said, my love you can't walk around in life waiting for an accident to happen, or else you will be tied up unable to move into the places that I have for you because you are afraid to live. I thought I would ask myself the question, 'what are you going to do with the time you have left?' The devil wants me to believe that I am getting to old, or that it is too late for my dreams to come true. In my business and ministry the devil is always trying to tell me that my company will not go where I see it going and that what I am doing will never work and that it will be small forever and that people are not going to pay you for your services, but the bible says, 'don't despise the day of small beginnings.' I understand more and more that the devil comes to kill, steal, and destroy that we must put the word on whatever he says. For the bible says, 'that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'

You see the devil, continues to make suggestions that we don't have what it takes to become who God says that we are. As I make this transition in my life, I can't help but wonder what lies ahead for me. If you're like me you live with the what if's, this is what Satan told Eve in the Garden of Eden did God really say. Can I do what God is calling me to do, what if I let Him down. God said, in His word:
1)      You shall whatever you say.
2)      To speak those things that be not as though they are
3)      That whatever a man thinks in his heart so is he.

I believe that not only are we afraid of failure but afraid of success. God said to me, 'you have a blank canvas, reinvent your life.' For the bible says, 'that a man plans his way but God directs him through them all.' Learn how to live again, love again, and as Pastor Tudman would say, 'breathe again.' I can't remember the last time I have sat down and wrote out my desires and my dreams. To redefine your life in spite of your past, stop holding on to the memories of your past as though it defines who you are today. I am always wondering do I have what it takes to be the woman that I see, to have what I see, to let my light shine, and dare to be different.

Often times we define ourselves by the success of others, what they are doing that I am not doing, what is wrong with me. Bishop Jakes gave us an assignment on this past Sunday. He said get two sheets of paper on one sheet write down your past pain, failures, and regrets and on the other sheet write what you are believing God for. Then tare up the sheet of paper from your past and live by what you are believing God for in your future. I wonder how many of you want to reinvent your life and to learn how to love and live again.

Let's step out on faith and live again, and Reinvent Our LIFE!!!
