Shavuot started at Sunset on June 11th 2024 and lasts until nightfall on June 13th 2024
Shavuot holds deep significance in the Jewish tradition, commemorating the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and the harvest festival of the first fruits. It is a time of reflection, gratitude, and spiritual renewal, as we remember the covenant between God and the Jewish people and the importance of receiving and studying the Torah.
On Shavuot, we celebrate the abundance of blessings that God has bestowed upon us and the importance of living a life guided by His teachings and commandments. It is a time to recommit ourselves to our faith, to seek spiritual growth and enlightenment, and to honor the traditions and values that have been passed down through generations.
As you observe Shavuot this year, may the meaning of this holiday inspire you to deepen your connection with God, to seek wisdom and understanding in His word, and to reflect on the blessings and abundance in your life. May this season of renewal bring you closer to God and fill your heart with gratitude, joy, and peace. Wishing you a meaningful and blessed Shavuot celebration filled with love, light, and spiritual fulfillment.”

Trust in my plans, for I am about to do something extraordinary in your life. Stay vigilant and open to the blessings that are about to be poured out upon you.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who took the time to wish me a happy birthday yesterday. Your words of love and well wishes truly made my day special.
As I enter this new year of life, I am reminded that 7 is God’s perfect number, and I am filled with hope and expectation for the blessings that lie ahead. I believe that this year will be my best yet, filled with joy, growth, and abundant blessings.
I am also grateful to share that my health has greatly improved over the past year. By losing weight, my blood sugar levels have returned to normal, and I feel better now than I did at this time last year. While I may experience the occasional aches and pains that come with age, I am grateful for each day and the opportunity to care for my body like an older car that requires maintenance.
I am confident that God has many more years of ministry ahead for me, and I am excited to see how He will continue to work in and through me. Thank you for your continued love, support, and prayers as I embark on this new chapter of life.

It is easy to give in to anger and bitterness, to seek retribution for the wrongs done to you. But I call you to a higher standard, to walk in love and forgiveness as I have shown you.
When you choose to forgive and release the desire for vengeance, you open the door for my hand of blessing to move in your life. As you extend grace and mercy to those who have wronged you, I will pour out my abundant blessings upon you.

This morning as I prayed I heard the Holy Spirit say to me, “Tell My people that I have come to give them life and give it to them abundantly.” I contemplated that and wondered why God spoke those specific Words to me this morning. I have come to the conclusion that God intends for us all to have abundant lives. Living abundantly is a choice. Today, and everyday, I want to tap into God’s abundant life and reside there always.
In the Gospel of John, Jesus declares, “I have come that they might have life, and have it more abundantly.” These words are a powerful reminder of the purpose of Jesus’ ministry on Earth and the abundant blessings that he offers to all who follow him.
When Jesus spoke these words, he was not just talking about physical life, but also about spiritual life. He came to offer us a life that is full of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. A life that is lived in communion with God and in service to others. This abundant life that Jesus offers is not just about material wealth or success, but about experiencing true joy, peace, and love in our hearts.
But how can we tap into this abundant life that Jesus offers? The key lies in our relationship with him. When we truly surrender our lives to Jesus, we open ourselves up to receive the abundant blessings that he has in store for us. This means trusting in his plan for our lives, seeking his guidance through prayer and scripture, and following his teachings in all that we do.
Living an abundant life with Jesus also means living with gratitude and generosity. When we recognize all the blessings that we have received from him, we are inspired to share those blessings with others. Whether it is through acts of kindness, giving to those in need, or simply being a light in the world, we can spread the abundance of Jesus’ love to those around us.
So, let us remember Jesus’ words and strive to live a life that is truly abundant. Let us seek to deepen our relationship with him, trust in his plan for our lives, and share his love with others. In doing so, we can experience the fullness of life that Jesus came to offer us.
God is saying today: “Do not be afraid to take chances, for I am with you every step of the way. Trust in my plan for you and have faith in the opportunities I present to you. Embrace new possibilities with courage and know that I will guide you towards your purpose. Step out in faith and watch as I work wonders in your life. Do not fear the unknown, for I am the one who holds your future. Take a leap of faith and see the amazing things I have in store for you.” 🙏 #TrustGod #TakeChances #HaveFaith
Many times when doing a personal prophetic word for someone God will reveal to me that there is unresolved trauma present in their life. Sometimes the person is aware of it and sometimes they aren’t. Unresolved trauma may hinder prayer answers, breakthrough and make a person feel stuck.
Overcoming trauma can be a difficult and painful process, but as Christians, we have the assurance that God is with us every step of the way. It is important to remember that if we do not face and overcome our trauma, it can become a hindrance to experiencing breakthrough and healing in other areas of our lives.
The Bible reminds us in Psalm 34:18 that “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” God is always close to us, ready to offer comfort and healing to those who are hurting. However, we must be willing to face our trauma and seek His help in order to experience true breakthrough and restoration.
In Isaiah 43:18-19, God tells us, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” This verse reminds us that God is able to bring about new beginnings and transformation in our lives, but we must be willing to let go of the past and allow Him to work in us.
Facing and overcoming trauma with God’s help is essential in order to experience the fullness of breakthrough and healing that He has in store for us. In Philippians 3:13-14, we are encouraged to “forget what is behind and strain toward what is ahead, press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” By facing our trauma and seeking God’s help, we can move forward in faith and experience the breakthrough and healing that He has planned for us.
As we journey through the process of overcoming trauma, let us hold fast to the promises of God and trust in His faithfulness. With God by our side, we can find the strength and courage to face our past and experience the breakthrough and healing that He has in store for us. Let us not allow our trauma to impede our breakthrough, but instead, let us face it with God’s help and move forward in faith and healing.

2. Difficulty forming and maintaining relationships: Trauma can impact a person’s ability to trust others and form healthy relationships, leading to difficulties in connecting with others.
3. Avoidance of certain situations or triggers: Individuals with unresolved trauma may go to great lengths to avoid situations, people, or places that remind them of the traumatic experience.
4. Flashbacks or intrusive memories: Unresolved trauma can result in flashbacks or intrusive memories of the traumatic event, causing distress and emotional upheaval.
5. Emotional numbness or detachment: Some individuals may experience emotional numbness or a sense of detachment from their emotions as a way of coping with unresolved trauma.

Remember, you are not alone, and there is hope for healing and restoration.
Prayer is a powerful tool that connects us with God and allows us to bring our needs and desires before Him. However, sometimes it can be challenging to see our prayers answered. In order to increase our chances of seeing our prayers answered, there are certain steps we can take to align ourselves with God’s will and receive His blessings.
The first step in seeing prayer answers is to start with gratitude. In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, we are instructed to “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Gratitude is a powerful way to align our hearts with God’s will and open ourselves up to receive His blessings. When we approach God with a heart of gratitude, we are acknowledging His goodness and faithfulness in our lives, which can pave the way for our prayers to be answered.
Once we have expressed gratitude, the next step is to know exactly what we need and get a clear picture in our mind of it. For example, if you are praying for a new car, visualize the car exactly as you desire it to look. See the make, model, color, and features in your mind with clarity and detail. By holding this picture clearly in your mind, you are creating a specific and focused intention for your prayer.
In Mark 11:24, Jesus tells us, “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” This verse emphasizes the importance of having faith and belief in the outcome of our prayers. By picturing our desires with clarity and detail, we are demonstrating our faith in God’s ability to answer our prayers according to His will.
The final step in seeing prayer answers is to decree it. In Job 22:28, we are told, “You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and light will shine on your ways.” Decreeing our desires is a powerful way to speak them into existence and align ourselves with God’s will. When we confidently declare our prayers and desires before God, we are demonstrating our faith and trust in His ability to bring them to fruition.
In conclusion, by following these steps of gratitude, picturing, and decreeing, we can increase our chances of seeing our prayers answered. As we align our hearts with God’s will, visualize our desires with clarity and detail, and confidently declare them before Him, we are positioning ourselves to receive His blessings and see His power at work in our lives. Let us approach prayer with faith, gratitude, and expectation, knowing that God is faithful to hear and answer our prayers according to His perfect will.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
A few years ago The Lord gave me a vision of Him preparing me a beautiful table of wonderful food. He pulled my chair out, as he sat me down at a table with beautiful dishes and fine crystal glasses and he stood behind me and anointed me with perfumed oil.
With tears running down my cheeks I looked and across the room and I saw them, they were a group of people who had used me, abused me, and treated me horribly during my life as far back as childhood. They looked on in horror as they saw me, at that table being spoiled by Daddy God.
The Lord spoke this to me, “Tell my people that for every time they have been treated badly, the times that they did only good to others who cheated them, hurt them physically, emotionally and mentally, who stole from them, lied to them I was there and have been setting a place at my table for them.”
Beloved of the Lord, God has seen it all. He prepares a table for us in the presence of our enemies, our cup runs over and he anoints OUR heads with oil, healing oil that erases the pain of injustices and hurts and, at that time, we will remember them no more!
