Can we talk for a minute?
In preparing for the resurrection this year I took a side trip that I want to share today. I was reading John 12:24 which states, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. I read it a couple of times and then the Lord whispered to me Your Destiny Is In Your Resurrection! I know that it seems that the things you have been challenged and called to do in this season seems to be killing you metaphorically speaking or requiring you to give all of yourself totally leaving nothing of who you are or striping you from all that you know about yourself. It is as if the time has come for you to come to an end. However, you mustn’t be afraid to take the death walk because, Your Destiny Is In Your Resurrection! You see, the enemy does not want you to die to the things of your flesh or this world. But when you make up your mind to lose control of your will for your life, and permit the power of the Holy Ghost to kill what's in you that contends with the Father's will for your life, you will connect with your destiny! Your Destiny Is In Your Resurrection! and unless you die to your emotions, your desires, and your will, the two will never meet. So, move over and get out of the Father's way because, Your Destiny Is In Your Resurrection! but you must die to self before you can kiss your destiny! I pray that this has blessed you in some way as it has blessed me and given me the determination to shake off some more, to lay aside some more, to pull down some more so that I can walk into my destiny, How about you?

Can We Talk A Minute? The other day I was researching something for the book I am currently writing and I read this in the message bible Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong. Take courage. Don't be intimidated. Don't give them a second thought because God, your God, is striding ahead of you. He's right there with you. He won't let you down; he won't leave you." I had to stop what I was doing and get down to business with the Lord as to what I am to say to you my brothers and sisters in the Christ Jesus. Since there is so much intimidation in the atmosphere this month the Lord wanted me to share the following with "Don't Be Intimidated!" My precious brothers and sisters our God does not make mistakes and you are right where He needs you to be, so don't be intimidated by your surroundings. The enemy will attempt to plant seeds of doubt in order to discourage you from believing that you qualify to do anything great for the Lord. This is why it is important that you do not look at your current state, do not look at your possessions, do not look at whether or not you measure up to the standards of men. Remain confident in the one who created and called you to the assignment and don't be intimidated by your areas of weakness because the Lord will guide you through with great strength. This is indeed your season to move beyond the norm, and those that out Father has connected and surrounded you with are of the caliber that will provoke you into greatness. For this reason, "Don't Be Intimidated!" because you have been called and created to soar! From the Heart ~Dr Patti Can we talk a minute?
I was looking for something specific in the bible the other day, one thing I noticed is that God didn’t choose Peter, He didn’t choose David, He didn’t choose Samson…” I’m going to leave this thought for a moment and speak to the women who may be reading this because this is what the Spirit ministered to me as a woman, “The Lord didn’t choose Deborah, Jael, Esther or Priscilla” heading back to the original though, God chose me to live in these last and evil days. Yes these are the last days but they are still in the book of acts. We have Acts for Jesus that we must do as we await His return. The world is not worse than it was a few centuries ago …it really isn’t that different. It is just that we are touched by it, we are living in it. Guess what, Peter was living through and was touched by what was happening around him. I’m sure that Noah warned his children about the evils of the day. We know that Job did because he sacrificed for his children daily. Truthfully, was it any different when the Samaritan was attacked as he walked the street than when someone is attacked today? Of course not. Paul was chosen for the time of growing a church, Peter was chosen for birthing out or establishing a church, Stephen was chosen for that time, Lydia was chosen for that time, and Priscilla was chosen for that time. We…You and I, have been chosen by God for such a time as this. It is our turn as followers of Christ to do the things that He did and greater because he has returned to His father. It is our time to lift Jesus up to a lost, sin sick and dying world. It is our time to combat the very things that our forefathers combated so many years ago. Why? Because He is preparing a people for His return. Their job was to comfort a church that had seen their founder, Lord and Savior taken away and to encourage them to hold on. Our task is to encourage a church to hold on and stay faithful and comforted because our founder, Lord and Savior is about to return. What are you going to do? Are you going to give yourself an excuse to not fulfill the will of the Lord for your life? Or are you going to step up and be the chosen vessel for the times that you are in?. God did not choose Ezekiel, Moses, Jude and Phillip; neither did he choose Rahab, Rhoda, or Ruth for 2022 They had their time. He has chosen you Man of God. He has chosen you Woman of God. He has chosen you Child of God. He has chosen you complete with your shortcomings, insecurities and lack of perfection. He has chosen you because He knows that you were created to fulfill His purpose for His people in this the times that we live in. HE CHOSE YOU!!!!! This is your time. God indeed has a plan for you and a purpose for such a time as this. Can we talk for a minute?
There is GREATNESS in YOU. Yes, YOU! When I think about you and the plans that God has ordained for your life, I don't see you lacking anything because I know that our Father has placed greatness inside of you. I don't see failure, I don't see low self-esteem. I don't see trauma, I don'te see addiction, I don't see offense or lack of confidence. In fact I don't see you lacking in any thing. I see you as God called you to be and everythin that he has placed inside of you, the hopes, dreams and desires are all good. Now I need you to see yourself moving and operating beyone your comfort zone; obtaining what you think you'r not worthy of and being a blessing to the world, because God created you for this and more. I need for you to see yourself not as you have been seeing yourself or as you perceive that others see you but to see yourself as the early beloved of the Father. Yes, as I asked the Lord about you He allowed me to see greatness in you. Merry Christmas From the heart~Dr. Patti Can we talk for a minute?
I was thinking about you today. Yes you. I know that it is easy to get caught up in the cycle of regret of the past. There were many things that we wish that we had done differently. You know, the missteps and the mistakes that ultimately led to a stumble or even a fall. I know that it is so hard to forgive yourself for falling too. I also know that many of you are sitting here reminicing about the glory days. The days when you seemed to do great exploints for the Lord that you can't seem to acheive in this season and you long for what was. But I came to let you know that none of that matters at all. None. We serve a God whose compassions fail not, One whose mercy is renewed EVERY SINGLE MORNING!!!!!! Great is His faithfulness to us! So it does't matter what is in your yesterday. That doesn't define you because the Lord has been gracious to you and brought you to this place, this moment in time to reflect His glory and manifest His love! That's right, today is what matters. I am reminded of the words that Jesus spoke to the disciples when they asked ," What do we say if they ask why we need it?" He replied, "Tell them that The Lord has need of thee" The Lord has need of YOU!!!!! Say that to your self right now, "The Lord has need of me". Now let that sink in for a moment. There is so much in your purpose that is waiting for you. There is so much in this day, in this season that is so magnificat that involves you who are reading this today. You have to acknowledge that you are a present current being still here on purpose, filled with purpose for a purpose that involves now. There is a new awaiting you. But you can't walk into your new holding on to the old. Let today be the day that you finally let go of the weight, burden and baggage of yesterday and embrace the freedom and love of our God that He has for YOU! Yes, You because He Loves you and He has the most amazing plan for you. From the Heart~Dr Patti Can we talk for a minute?
There are many things that we have done in this life both before and after we committed our heart and life to Christ that quite frankly by human standards mean we aren't worthy to he called by His name much less used for Him. But that is according to man. The Lord has called you worthy, worthy to be his sons and daughters and there is nothing that anyone can do about it. I love that the Lord doesn't hold our family of origin, our environmental upbringing, our choiced and other things of the flesh against us. He loves us just for who we were. You know what else I love about our Lord? When he called you into his family it was not a conference call. He did not call you and so and so, he didn't call you because of so and so, He called YOU into the joy of hte Lord. That is such great news. I want you to be encuraed today by grabbing hold to the fact that you have worth and you have value. You are 24 karat gold to our father and you are so worthy...Because God Said So From the Heart~Dr Patti Can we talk for a minute?
There are times that one feels as if they have stepped into an alternate universe or reality of some sort. The things that one has purposed in one's mind or should I say the story that was created for oneself, well, let's just say, the road to manifestation is riddled with experiences not in one's script. I get it. Life for me hasn't been a 60 year ride at the top of the mountain, but neither has it been 60 years in the valley. I get it... Life at times is suffocating, hard to wrap your mind around. I hear you asking, how do you stay in such a positive place enjoying life the way you do. Well, let's talk about it. Long before Paul utters the words ," I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." he gives us some powerful clues and keys to reach that place. It goes something like this. Get your mind right and stop dweling on everything negative in your bubble because for every negative there are a list of things in which God, that person, that situation whatever, has been so faithful. I call it the "whatevers" found in Philippians 4:8. Then Paul gives us another clue, learn how to be content in every situation, because if the Lord has brought you to it, or allowd it, then there is a purpose for it. Just read verses 11-12 that flows into the things that Paul can actually do through Christ. Yes, he does all of these things through Christ and is content or has peace in his spirit as he does it. This entire chapter is full juicy nuggets that will lead you to the place where you understand the key to doing all things. So, what ever it is that you are facing in this season that has lied to you and told you that you are not worthy, you are not capable, you don't have the skills, you don't have the right lineage, you are not bright enough, that you don't have enough strength to endore, that you need to quite, that it is to hard, I came here to tell you that YES YOU ARE and YES YOU CAN. God Said it in his word and his word is true even when it pertains to you. You Can Do It From the Heart ~Dr. Patti Can we talk for a minute?
Did you know that you are so very special to the Lord and His plan for all humanity. Yes you. Travel with me for a moment and just imagine our God who knows the end from the beginning looking at a pocket of society in 2021 way back in the year before you were born and saying, "I need someone here who can reach these precious souls as a representative of my love and glory" and just like that he popped YOU in the womb of a woman and 9 months later you were here. You. You are not an accident, You are not damaged you are not insignifigant, You are a thought that God had or his creation wrapped up in flesh to accomplish a task for Him on this earth. No one else can be me. No one else could endure what you have endured, accomplished what you have accomplished, live the life that you are living. No one except for you. No one have the same worth or value that you have to the Lord. It is all about you and the Love and care and assignment that He has for you. No one else can do you but you! Wow. I don't know about you but that gives me an entirely new way of thinking, feeling and behaving. How cool is it that our God want to bless this world with YOU! Don't you dare allow anyone to make you feel that you do't matter, the Lord felt that you were necessary and, well, I don't know about you but that is just about the best news that I can arm myself with as I fight to lie out my purpose. ~From the heart, Dr. Patti |
