Diva's Diamonds: Does Your Faith Go The Distance? by Queen Diva 1-28-11
Posted on 17:00 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
Does your faith go the distance? I just read an article on StreamingFaith.com by Pastor Kenneth Polk and he posed this question to the reader. I have been on a serious FAITH walk for 7 years now and I know that this 7th year is Completion and also Perfection! God has already told me what the end of this part of my journey will be and what I will be doing and where I will be. My frustration comes in the right now and while all of my needs are met I'm in a FAMINE and the people around me do not have the same level of FAITH that I have. It becomes very difficult when you are surrounded by people who's faith is not as strong as your own. But what I got from this article was God is pleased by our FAITH and also FAITH is the FOUNDATION of your Christian Experience!
That latter part of the sentence is what quicken my spirit because the sole purpose of my JOURNEY is to lay a FOUNDATION towards going from CHILD TO SERVANT TO DISCIPLE TO DAUGHTER OF GOD! It has taken me 7 years in a "BOOT CAMP" experience in having TESTS, PASSING them and then going to the NEXT test! I do not have the luxury as some to FAIL tests that are brought before me and start again because there was a time line that I know now was always in effect for me to learn all that I needed by 2011!
I'm sharing my testimony because there are many out there just like me who are either beginning your journey, in the middle, at the end like me or have finished. The MEASURE of your FAITH determines where you will be NEXT for God to use you in a MIGHTY way! Just like Moses who was called to be a prophet and leader for the Children of Israel. He was destined to FREE the Children of Israel but he first had to find out who he was, go in a DESERT(FAMINE), gain a HELP MEET and a family, then return to fulfill his DESTINY to be a LEADER to FREE the Children of Israel. It was never Moses' fate to LIVE in the Promised Land....It was merely to FREE the Children of Israel! The level of his faith could not take him to LIVE in the Promised Land because he didn't SPEAK to the ROCK when the Children of Israel were thirsty for a second time and believe God would produce the WATER out of the ROCK just by using his WORDS! Glory to God! (Read Numbers 20 but pay special attention to Numbers 20: 8, 12)
God already knows the LEVEL of your FAITH and all that you can and cannot handle. Your tests and trials are merely for you to know it for yourself!
Does your FAITH Go The Distance? Only time will tell....and God being the FATHER of TIME will TEST you to find out!
Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!

Today's Diamonds:
Waiting outside the lines....Today I have to say I had one of those moments where I felt "stuck!" Have you ever felt "STUCK?" I mean I felt like my feet are in a cement box and I cannot move! I started to feel really sad and tears just streamed down my face because I feel like I've done all that I could do and I'm not going anywhere...just stuck ....my feet stuck in a cement box. Then I heard the Lord tell me check your emails in another account and I saw a message for me to submit my song "Just Ordinary People" to a song submission opportunity for a television show for up and coming artists to sing my song to compete to win. I checked the Youtube page and I listened to two artists who are featured in the video to advertise for the show and I heard for the first time Greyson Chance's "Waiting Outside of the Lines"....the way the two artists performed the song was so "haunting" but beautiful. I thought to myself...That's how I feel....I'm...."Waiting Outside the Lines!"
I then listened to Greyson Chance's version and I felt FREE from the sadness that I felt earlier! I watched a young man with such HOPE, PROMISE, POTENTIAL & POSSIBILITIES! To hear him say the words over and over..."I'm waiting....I'm waiting...I'm waiting...I'm waiting....waiting outside the lines!" Woke me up and opened me up to realize that "Divine Timing" causes you to wait....and sometimes outside the lines! I've done all that I can do on my end in preparation for ALL that God has promised me in my career and ministry. I felt "STUCK" because I'm standing still just....WAITING....outside the lines.
Although I can't submit the song because I'm not the writer merely the recording artist who brought the song to life. I am so blessed that I was obedient to read the email and understand that I'm not stuck at all...just WAITING! But while I'm waiting I'm preparing and ready to move at any moment when God says to move and go ye to all the lands!
I want to encourage you if you feel "STUCK" because you haven't found a job, or a new home, or a new love or means to pay for your education or even your rent or to put gas in your car for the week! While you are waiting...outside the lines don't try to figure anything out or rush the wait for what God has for you is specifically for you. God knows exactly what you need and HE hasn't forgotten about you! Be ready, be prepared, be thankful, be expectant and be blessed!

Diva's Diamonds: When One Door Closes...by Queen Diva 1-14-11
Posted on 20:09 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
When one door closes...I had been waiting for months to do something that I had on my mind to do again for almost 2 years. I prepared for it, prayed on it, asked others for encouragement and agree with me to achieve it and today all day long I kept asking God....well today is the last day I need the money to do this and no one has stepped up to help me...Lord? You know I don't have the money to do it and I know that you put it in my heart to do it and I've prepared and conditioned myself to be ready to do but where's the MONEY? The Lord told me to wait. So I've waited all the way up until HE said wait until 9pm to see if the person(s) would be obedient to contact you and send you the money.
Well....needless to say it's almost 10 pm CST and no one had contacted me. I have to admit I shed a few tears throughout the day because of two reasons....one because I really want to do this thing that has been on my spirit for over a year and I just really believed it was my time again to do it! I was so devastated that what I believed was coming to me didn't come. The second reason why I cried was because the people that were suppose to help me were disobedient in helping me and I know who they are and I know that I can't make someone be obedient to helping me because that would be manipulation and that goes against "freewill" that would be "witchcraft" and that is not God's will. I'm learning in the tail end of my 7 year journey that God allows us to make the decision to be obedient or disobedient.
We can't make people do right or wrong they have to make the choice on their own. I cried for them because they just don't know how much of a blessing they are missing out on being disobedient to what God told them specifically to do. You see when God tells you to go to the store and buy a bag of groceries and give to your enemy God is testing your level of service to his lambs and sheep. We have to learn to take flesh out of the way and not allow our emotions or our need to hold on to your money to stop God from using you to be a blessing to someone. Your obedience or disobedience not only affects the person you were suppose to bless but also YOU because by not doing what God told you to do for someone you just blocked an even bigger blessing that God had specifically for you waiting right after you "SACRIFICED" yourself by buying those groceries for someone who hurt you.
So today with someone else not being obedient closed a door for me even though I was obedient in waiting for this person(s) to come through for me their disobedience affected my blessing and theirs. But watch this...just around the corner for me another door opens because "OBEDIENCE" pleases GOD and because I was obedient my blessing is going to be mightier than the blessing I was hoping for from the door that closed. Yes, right now I'm sadden by the door being closed but my soul is rejoicing at knowing God's got something better for me because of my obedience, faithfulness and patience in waiting for what GOD has in store for me all along. I really believe that the people would come through and I was going to get that particular blessing but when it didn't happen I was more sad about the people not being obedient to help me than I was not receiving that blessing. For it is better to be OBEDIENT and have a door close than to be DISOBEDIENT and not have a door open for a long time.
If you have experienced what I just gone through than you totally understand how I fee right now. But the one thing that gives me PEACE right now is knowing that I PLEASED GOD in my obedience to wait on the promise that HE gave to me and not try to "DO ME" and come up with my own blessing. So if you are waiting and you know that someone is to help you and they don't....Don't get upset or mad or sad....just THANK GOD for the greater blessing that HE has in store for you! REJOICE now in knowing that your OBEDIENCE pleases GOD and what GOD has for you it is for you and it will be nothing short of MAGNIFICENT!
When one door closes.....well you know the rest! ;-)

Diva's Diamonds: The Storm is Over NOW by Queen Diva 1-12-11
Posted on 13:26 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
The Storm is over NOW....I'm listening to the song "The Storm is Over Now" by Kirk Franklin & God's Property and before I started listening to it I kept hearing the those words over and over in my head. The Storm is Over NOW...The Storm is OVER....NOW! Too many times in our lives we seem to get caught up in preparing for the STORM and we have all that we need to BATTLE the STORM but when the STORM is over we still think that we are still in it! I'm here to tell you ....THE STORM IS OVER NOW! So you have to start changing your way of thinking as you had when you were in the mist of the STORM. And you also have to open your EYES to see that the STORM is OVER.
Just because it still looks cloudy and you feel the rain on your face doesn't mean that the STORM is still here! You have to start speaking out loud with your mouth...THE STORM IS OVER NOW! Right now...I want you to say out loud in front of this computer screen....THE STORM IS OVER NOW! No more crying at night...no more sickness in your body....no more FAMINE in your finances....no more...IT'S OVER NOW! You must begin to now prepare for the SUNSHINE to shine resplendently upon you NOW! You have to take off those clothes, shoes, hat that you wear for the STORM and DRY OFF! LOL!
Literally and figuratively you have to begin to DRY OFF from the storm and WIPE OFF....LONELINESS....DEPRESSION....ANGER....UNFORGIVENESS...SICKNESS....FAILURE...
DISAPPOINTMENTS...etc. It all starts with your thinking and speaking...IT'S OVER NOW! You have to
receive these words in your mind and spirit for you to begin to see the SUNSHINE. You have to think like
a WINNER and truly believe that you ALWAYS WIN! You have to believe you are HEALED and that
HEALING is already done! You have to believe you won't be LONELY anymore and prepare to meet your
MATE! You have to know the JOB and the CHECK is coming and speak IT IS ON THE WAY! And get ready for it by balancing your checkbook and laying your clothes out for the week to start your new POSITION at your new company! Hallelujah!
...."I feel like I can make it....THE STORM IS OVER NOW!"

Diva's Diamonds: Sing To The Sheep by Queen Diva 1-10-11
Posted on 11:52 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
Sing to the Sheep...While you are waiting...sing to the SHEEP! That's what I heard just before I started to write this blog today. I was reading an old blog of mine that I used to write when I was on the air locally on a public radio station here in Houston, Texas. It's been 5 years since I wrote a simple question..."Which Biblical Character Are You Most Like?" Then I listed some of the most popular characters and who they were:
Abraham "Father of many nations" (A prophet)
David ""Beloved" (A king)
Peter "A Rock" (A disciple)
Mary "Bitter" (Martha's sister)
Joshua "Jehovah saves" (A soldier)
Esther "star" (A queen)
Joseph "God will increase" (A dreamer)
Then God told me I am most like Joseph (A Dreamer) and Esther (A Queen), but also like David who was not only a King but a Psalmist. I woke up feeling a little discouraged because although I have a single out, I'm a Vocal Director/Worship Leader at my present "assignment" I feel like I should be heard and SING so much more. I've been singing professionally all over the country since 1994 but I have been still since 2003 when God placed me back in Houston after years of trying to make it in the music industry in New York City. I've sung at concert halls, foyers, churches, coffee houses, night clubs and bars. Mostly to tables and chairs but on a rare occasion to standing room only crowds.
God told me...Just think about David when he was young. He was anointed to be king at 15 years old by Samuel out of all of his handsome, strong, rugged brothers who were soldiers and leaders in the army. But as soon as he was anointed where did he go....back tending SHEEP. David went back to his duty of tending SHEEP and being an obedient son to JESSE, which means WEALTHY, doing what he was required to do as his youngest son. David knew he was anointed to be king one day but it didn't take root in his spirit until years later. In the meantime...David would SING TO THE SHEEP. David would write songs to glorify me and praise me in excellence and with a smile on his face. That is exactly what I want you to do my daughter....SING TO THE SHEEP.
I'm sharing my conversation with God today because many of you are DISCOURAGED by where you are in your life and you feel you should be doing so much MORE! That strong desire that is in you is there for a specific PURPOSE for you to PRESS on towards the MARK or VISION that God has given to you. It's not to be discouraged or SAD that you are not where you want to be. You are where you are suppose to be RIGHT NOW! But at the same time you are to SING TO THE SHEEP in excellence for they need your SERVICE (MINISTRY) no matter how big or small the duty, audience or place of work you are today.
Just like David...God will make room for your TALENTS and someone will mention your NAME and find you and bring you to the PALACE before the KING and YOU WILL BE ELEVATED! But not before God says....It's TIME to SHINE like the FLAWLESS DIAMOND YOU ALREADY ARE!
So in the meantime....Sing to the Sheep! Baaaaahhh! LOL!
Just like a diamond you shine resplendently...Keep Diva's Diamonds close to your heart and know that you are already FLAWLESS!

Diva's Diamonds: It Shall Come To Pass by Queen Diva 1-9-11
Posted on 11:38 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
It Shall Come to pass....I'm listening to the recording "It Shall Come to Pass" by Hezekiah Walker and LFC and I'm feeling hopeful and a little sad at the same time. I'm feeling hopeful because there are some things that I have been waiting to receive for many years, months, weeks and even days that I know God will give to me at any moment! I just came from church and I was sadden that what I had been waiting to receive I was told by God I will not ever receive from that church what I had been waiting on, but my assignment there is not over until a set date and I am to continue to SERVE in EXCELLENCE. I'm sadden because God revealed to me why I will not receive what I've been waiting on for a few months. It comes down to OBEDIENCE. Sometimes we are sent to a church body to do a specific assignment and give a specific service and not go beyond what our assignment is or expect more than what God tells us we are to receive from them. But when they do not do what God has made a way for them to do in DISOBEDIENCE it is not our place to correct them or chastise them but to allow God to work it out.
God told me not to worry and that other opportunities outside of your assignment will come in a greater capacity. Just as Jesus said, "A prophet is not honored in his own hometown." It holds true for Psalmists, Teachers, Ministers and so on. I am a trained, educated and well-respected Psalmist and Teacher but not all who see me will see my light. God told me today that you are not there to "PROVE" yourself to others but to Praise & Worship me through song, Teach & Train the Ministers of Song and BE YE READY for any opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ however way I choose for you to do it.
I'm sharing my testimony today because there are MANY of you who are discouraged by not receiving what you know GOD told you is for you. You have been waiting on things to manifest and come to you at any moment and you have not received it. I'm hear to tell you....It SHALL come to PASS! Your labor is NOT in VAIN and God remembers everything HE has promised to you. Don't worry about how LONG it takes to materialize and DOUBT that what God said will not come ON TIME! GOD is an ON TIME GOD and whatever you are WAITING and BELIEVING GOD for I'm here to tell you....It SHALL come to PASS!

Diva's Diamonds: Where You Are Is Where You Are Suppose To Be by Queen Diva 1-7-11
Posted on 13:43 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
Where you are is where you are suppose to be....I just finished reading an article about Nichelle Nichols "Lt. Uhura" of Star Trek FAME. She had mentioned in the article that she took the job as a stepping stone into becoming a "Broadway Star" and she felt being on Star Trek was going NOWHERE. After 1 Season on Star Trek she was ready to leave the show and told Producer Gene Roddenberry that she wanted to leave. But Roddenberry asked her to reconsider her decision. Then the very next night she attended the NAACP Awards and was overwhelmed by a man who claimed to be her BIGGEST fan and that man was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr!
"The Trekkie turned out to be Martin Luther King Jr., who told her that "Star Trek" was the only TV show he and his wife Coretta would allow their three little children to watch, because out in the streets there were African-Americans being hosed for wanting to sit down in a whites-only restaurant; meanwhile, "There I was playing an astronaut of the 23rd century." When she told Dr. King she was leaving the show he said, "What Gene Roddenberry had done was to establish who we were in the 23rd century." Insisting that she needed to stay on the show he said, "You are part of history, and it's your responsibility, even though it wasn't your career choice." (Except from www.39online.com/lifestyle/blackhistory/sns-black-history-pioneers-of-television,01206591.story)
Needless to say...and the rest is HERSTORY!
I shared parts of this story with you because many of us are thinking where we are right now is not WORKING for us! Or this is not enough for me I want to do MORE! Or even still...Why am I HERE? Nichelle Nichols story proves that although we make decisions that lead us to a place were we FEEL it's not a enough or doing anything GREAT we must begin to consider what am I doing to EFFECT LIVES? What am I doing that is making CHANGE? Is my contribution where I am right now helping others to GROW in EXCELLENCE? If you are asking these questions to yourself and you don't quite see what an IMPACT you are making then just ask those around you...How am I making a difference in what I am doing or serving?
You may be pleasantly surprised to know just what people LEARN from you and how much they LOVE you and just what kind of IMPACT your are giving RIGHT where you are SUPPOSE to be! Yes...you may be feeling tedious, bored, unchallenged, unmotivated, uninspired and unrecognized. But GOD sees you and HE will make room for your talents and if you truly want to know who you are influencing just ask someone! It's not Rocket Science! LOL! Asking someone how am I making a difference in your life by what I do day to day? You will begin to understand....where you are is where you are suppose to be.

Diva's Diamonds: Where is your HOPE? by Queen Diva 1-6-11
Posted on 08:28 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
Where is your Hope?....I woke up this morning with the words, "Lord, you are good and your mercy endureth for forever....People of every nation and tongue...from generation to generation...WE worship you...Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We worship you....for who YOU are!" These words are the lyrics to the song "You Are Good" by Israel Houghton! Those words are so powerful and it blessed me when I opened my eyes this morning and heard that song! Then I started to move around and I started to be "concerned"...not "WORRIED" but "concerned" about how was I gonna do this and how was I gonna do that? God said to me, Good Morning, Sunshine....Where is your HOPE?
LOL! I had to laugh because after all I have endured on my journey as a minister in the last 7 years and I always knew God would handle every situation I started my day thinking about things I had no control over for God said that HE's got it! And then God just asks a simple question...Where is your HOPE? I then instantly dropped the thought of "concern" and went upon my morning duties!
I ask you today....Where is your HOPE? When the enemy comes at you like a FLOOD and it looks like there is no where to turn or anyone to help you...Where is your HOPE? When you are to our last dime and you need gas money just to get to work for the next two days....Where is your HOPE? Or you have no money in the bank and you have enough money to pay the light bill but no money to buy food until the next check....Where is your HOPE?
I'll tell you where your HOPE is....It's in Jesus Christ the LORD! Just give your cares to HIM! I mean all of your cares and not of them that you THINK you can handle....NO! All of your cares to Jesus and watch miracles happen! I'm a living witness....HOPE springs ETERNAL and as long as you have HOPE....NOTHING is Impossible for GOD works BEST in IMPOSSIBLE situations!

Diva's Diamonds: Prepare for your BLESSING! by Queen Diva 1-5-11
Posted on 08:44 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
Prepare for your BLESSINGS...This morning I woke up clearly hearing the Lord tell me...Daughter, Prepare for your BLESSING! You have tolled, fasted, prayed, studied the Word of God, been broken, rejected, persecuted, talked about, lied on, cheated on and abandoned by many including family and friends. All that you have encountered I have also. You are my daughter and your OBEDIENCE and FAITHFULNESS pleases me GREATLY. Now it is time to prepare for your BLESSINGS and your next level of LIVING! No matter what it looks like, what others believe you should do, believe where you should go, things you should embark and direction you should follow you have kept the FAITH in hearing my VOICE and knowing that I shall supply all of your NEEDS. You have never wavered, faltered, gave up, turned your back or stopped going along the PATH that I have lead you to follow. Soon I will make your name GREAT among men of many lands and your gifts will be SHARED with all the WORLD in EXCELLENCE! It is no time to dwell on what you don't see but meditate on the WORD of God daily and to know without a DOUBT that what I have promised to you SHALL come to pass!
It's amazing that I heard those words when I woke up and when I checked my Facebook I saw the wonderful interview of Ted Williams "Golden Voice of Radio" who was discovered panhandling for change in Cleveland with a sign that describes that he has a "Great Radio Voice" a GIFT from God and would like the chance to share it with the WORLD. Mr. Williams went from being a PANHANDLER to a Youtube Phenomenon with close to 3 million hits and received many job offers as well as a new house to live. I instantly thought of Joesph in Genesis who went from the PIT to the PALACE in his journey from Dreamer to Deliverer of His People in a time of FAMINE.
So how do you PREPARE for your BLESSING? You THANK God before the BLESSING comes! Pack your bags, throw away old clothes for new ones to come, organize your closets and paperwork that have been laying around that needs order, buy items to give you STRUCTURE and DISCIPLINE, PRAY, FAST, READ the WORD of GOD, FELLOWSHIP with like minded friends and family, TUNE OUT NEGATIVITY, SPEAK LIFE to your BLESSINGS and BE READY to receive your BLESSING!
NO MATTER what it LOOKS like....ALWAYS....TRUST GOD at HIS WORD! God is not a man that HE should LIE to you about what HE has ALREADY promised is on the WAY!
I'm right there with you WAITING patiently for my BLESSING that GOD has promised me 7 years ago and I have the FAITH that is WILL & SHALL come to pass! I've prepared for my BLESSING and now all that is left is for me to READY to RECEIVE! I pray that you will do the same....BE YE READY!

Diva's Diamonds: Live to.... by Queen Diva 1-4-11
Posted on 19:12 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
Live to....I'm watching the new show with Paula Abdul's "Live to Dance" and it is SPECTACULAR! Why it is so AWESOME? It is because you see the PASSION, LOVE, COMMITMENT & INSPIRATION from their DANCING!!! We all need to find what is it inside of us that we LIVE to do? What do you LIVE to do each and every day of your LIFE? If you do not know then you need to ask yourself what is the one thing that I do that brings me GREAT.....JOY each and every time that I do it in EXCELLENCE? But not only that but brings a TEAR and a SMILE to others when they see me DO it? We have to learn to stop EXISTING and learn to LIVE to do something GREAT with our gifts and talents that God has blessed us to do!!!
You may have the gift of ENCOURAGEMENT....So tell people each and everyday just how AWESOME they are! Or you may have the gift of ADMINISTRATION...So help someone get their office organized and in ORDER! Or you may have the gift to SERVE...Why don't you help someone cross the street or help at a SHELTER or just cut the grass or shovel snow for an ELDERLY couple. The point is to tap into whatever it is that you LIVE to do and do it in EXCELLENCE!
I challenge you to LIVE to...do SOMETHING either what you've always dreamed of doing or sharing with others, the nation or the world! Or just what you LIVE to do that will BLESS others in a glorious way where they will get goosebumps or a tear in their eye from being filled with so much LOVE! You will be so BLESSED not only by sharing your gift but doing your BEST at something you LOVE to do!

Diva's Diamonds: I Resolve in 2011 to... by Queen Diva 1-3-11
Posted on 07:15 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
I RESOLVE in 2011 to....finish what I start! As strange as that may sound it's true there were so many things that I started but I didn't finish! Now there were many things that I did finish, planned, prepared and was really excited about those projects. But there were many things that I didn't and I just believe that every little thing that we start helps us to complete our entire YEAR in a mightier way! For example I started to read "You Can Make It Happen-A Nine Step Plan for Success" by Stedman Graham last year around this time of the year. Yes, Stedman Graham ...the one who has been dating Oprah Winfrey for over 20 years! He wrote this book 14 years ago and I've had this book in my possession for 5 years. The book is really very good and Mr. Graham gives very detailed examples within the nine step plan for success.
But as I started to read the book I thought to myself, "This is a lot of work to be successful his way! Why don't I just keep doing what I had been doing and it will be okay!" Wrong way to THINK! I was given this book by my awesome brother, G, who is a MBA graduate in Business and he thought this book would help me to reach my goals more SUCCESSFULLY and highly recommend I read it 5 years ago! I picked it up again on the first day of 2011 and as I started to read I started to smile because I realized that I did actually do the very things that Mr. Graham said at the beginning of the book but since I didn't finish the book to learn all nine steps I was only successful on STEP #1 because is as far as I got to read in 2010.
I'm writing all of this to say, if we do not get the entire instruction or facts or even WORD that is already waiting for us to receive we will never succeed on a GREATER level of excellence if we keep doing US. When you keep doing the same thing and expecting different results it just doesn't HAPPEN. I didn't want to be more ORGANIZED and write things down and just keep "WINGING" it as I had all these years! What's really amazing is Mr. Graham said the very same thing at the beginning of his book and one day he realized as I did that he had to RESOLVE to do something different to be SUCCESSFUL!
I Resolve to not only finish what I start but to know the importance of FINISHING it for my GREATER SUCCESS! I challenge you to do the very same thing all throughout 2011 and beyond! You will be SUCCESSFUL but you must PLAN to get there. But also CHANGE your thinking to receiving assistance to be where you want to be, do what you want to do and go where you want go in 2011!

Diva's Diamonds: Deliverance Is Available To You by Queen Diva 1-2-11
Posted on 15:45 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
Deliverance is AVAILABLE to you....This is your year to be delivered! Did you just read what I wrote? This is your year to be DELIVERED!!! Deliverance is available to you RIGHT NOW!!! There is no reason for you to carry the same burdens and demons that you have been holding on to like a best friend or a precious gem!!! It's time to LET IT GO! What is DELIVERANCE? Deliverance is the act of releasing a burden, demon or way of thinking that is blocking you from being FREED and at PEACE! There are far too many people walking around with HATE, DISAPPOINTMENTS, ADDICTIONS, UNFORGIVENESS etc. Do you recognize those people? Start by looking in the mirror...YES...You reading this blog right now! We all have things that we hold on to that are blocking our blessings and we carry that inside of us and if we don't let it go it will slowly separate us from God. And if you are separated from God you are spiritually dead and eventually die physically. These may be harsh words to read but God says it's time to LET IT GO! It's time to seek God with a PURE heart and truly lay all of your BURDENS down and be DELIVERED!
God can't bless or use you in an EXTRAORDINARY way if you are not delivered from your PAST that you carry as a PRESENT and trying to take it to your FUTURE. Young and old wherever you are in your life you cannot continue to DO YOU! It's not working and you MUST ask God to be DELIVERED on THIS DAY! For complete DELIVERANCE.....ALL you have to do is SURRENDER ALL to GOD! That is it! It's not complicated or DEEP! Just merely tell GOD...I SURRENDER ALL to YOU! I want to be FREE and come into my HEART on this DAY! I can no longer DO ME because it is not WORKING! I THIRST after you GOD and your WILL for my LIFE!
Choose you this day....DELIVERANCE or BONDAGE...God wants to use you in a MIGHTY way but you must ask for DELIVERANCE to truly be FREE. I guarantee you that when you do...God will then introduce you to a Friend like no other on earth and a Comforter who will GUIDE and TEACH you to STAY FREE!
Don't just take my word for it....Take your cares to GOD and HE will SHOW you better than HE can TELL you! AMEN!

Diva's Diamonds: The Blessings of Abraham by Queen Diva 1-1-11
Posted on 08:27 by Unknown
Today's Diva's Diamonds:
The Blessings of Abraham are the blessings that God spoke over Father Abraham for him and ALL of his future descendants! God told Abraham that HE would make Abraham a GREAT NATION, that HE would BLESS Abraham, that HE would make Abraham's name GREAT, that Abraham will be a BLESSING to others, that HE will curse anyone who curses Abraham and that ALL the people on earth will be BLESSED through Abraham! If you have accepted Christ as your Savior and believed and confessed with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus lived, died and rose from the dead on the third day you are saved and instantly become a descendant of Abraham and receive Abraham's blessings!!! It's so important to know what your BLESSINGS are as a descendant of Abraham! If you know what you are to receive you can walk in your INHERITANCE with THANKSGIVING & PRAISE to God in receiving them ALL!
I love the song recorded and written by Donald Lawrence "The Blessings of Abraham" where he writes..."You are the seed, by faith receive the blessings of Abraham....the blessings of Abraham...Get your inheritance...get your inheritance! It's Yours! It's Yours! Get your INHERITANCE!"
In 2011 I challenge you to read the Word of God...The Holy Bible for yourself daily and learn first hand not only what the Blessings of Abraham are for you but also God's will for your LIFE! I guarantee that you will not be disappointed!
Happy New Year, P.I.N.K.(Possibilities I Now Know) Diamonds!
