“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” Exodus 3:5 In the early hours of the morning, I had a dream in which I had a phone call from my pastor. He was telling me something. I woke up and went to look for two scriptures Joshua 5:15 and Exodus 3. The Lord spoke to me heart to make a list of the “thing” that I had to take off in order to come to the mountain of The Lord and see what was about to take place. As I prayed I asked The Lord to show me what I needed to take off. Those areas in me that no one sees. Traces of past hurts, insecurities and fear. I had to take off Frustrations, Comparison (had the tendency to look down at myself) Miss trust (when I look and in the natural it seems impossible). Insecurity (looking at what I lack) Fears (finances, health issues) Greed (commission sales, why them and not me?) Jealousy (they don’t need the sale I do). They are residue of past behavior. Thought that had ...

Abundance Biblical meaning; signifies a deep sense of fullness, gratitude, and richness in all aspects of life, going beyond material possessions and focusing on inner peace, love, joy, and appreciation for the blessings in one's life, regardless of external circumstances. God has been faithful. His faithfulness had brought us here. We stand in awe to see and experience His hand in our lives. As we enter this New Year, our dependency comes from The Lord. He alone is worthy of all our praise. Thank you, Lord, for choosing us. For trusting us. Help us to stay true to the call and the journey. Let us not be distracted by what goes around us. Let us hold on tight to you. We are not going back we are moving forward. Last year was a year of exposure, raw honesty, stretching to the max, a year of thriving, and perseverance which brought us here. 2025 will be the year of abundance in life (John 10:10), in good works (2 Cor 9:8)greater wisdom, deeper understanding, and deeper knowl...

Lord, guide us as we journey into a new season. Help us to discern those You’ve placed in our lives and give us clarity to see with open eyes, hear with open hearts, and walk with steady steps. Sometimes, I see more than I’m prepared for.I see the motives behind the action, fears, insecurities, I recognize how the flesh can take over, even in my own walk. But it’s time to move forward in faith, leaving behind the old. We can’t live on yesterday’s manna or pour new wine into old wineskins. You’re calling us higher, for greater things. preparing us to go into higher grownd. Hinds feerts. Lord, let me not be distracted by the busyness of life, but instead focus on the lessons You want me to learn. Help me to look inward, examine my own heart, and check my motives. Am I pursuing my own interests? Reveal the truth, Lord. I don’t want to go anywhere You haven’t prepared me for, or go where Your anointing will not sustain me. Keep me faithful, available, and teachable, knowing that as Yo...

As we read this scripture, we had a powerful revelation. We read “They brought into him ( Jesus) many that were possessed with devil. He cast them out of the spirit with His word and healed ALL that were sick. There were no names for sickness in Jesus' times, he dealt with the spirit behind the sickness face to face. Human nature tends to name that they can not comprehend, or they don't understand. Went something is named it becomes reality, it has been accepted and it has the legal right to be. The enemy hides in plain sight, he maskarate as real until it gets assessed to us. Behind every sickness, there is something behind it, working. The enemy doesn't play fair. He uses our bodies and our humanity. Our emotions, feelings, traumas, accidents, lives situations to gain assets. A few weeks ago, praying and interceding for a family member. I had an experience, as I was sleeping I was awakened by this fear that held me down, took away my breath, and showed me a grim fut...

God, What Do I Have? God asks me softly, "What do you possess?" I sigh and whisper, "I have nothing, I confess." But God, with eyes that see beyond the veil, Says, "I see something—your prayer will prevail." "I need your faith, your commitment too, You are something; not nothing, it’s true." "But Lord," I murmur, "I feel so small." God replies, "I’ll use what you call ‘nothing’ at all." "I’ll give you the little that I have inside," God says, "In that little, miracles abide. No excuses, just follow where I lead, With obedience, I’ll supply every need." "Believe in Me, and what I can do, I’ll make something beautiful, out of nothing through you." So I bow my head, and humbly I say, "God, I give you all, please lead my way." RMG 8/15/24

Buying v/s Believing As I work the garden, working in this project that it has taken me 3 summer to hopefully be completed this year. In here I sit with the Lord. (Not literally because I am working it) as I pulled, prune, cut and clean around it. I hear the gentle whisper in my heart. The garden has become, where I present the question in my heart that are hard for me to voice it out. Today it’s not different. I see what is taking place around me and I ask God what’s going on? I am taken back to the beginning of the year as how we have committed ourself to Him. How we had count the cost by our sacrifices, how we had to let go of our agendas and surrender all to Him. Watching those that come to our sphere. Learning how to encourage ourselves in the Lord. How we had been equipped to lead others to their purpose, their true freedom, making heaven more crowded one soul at a time. We are a miracle. We walking in miracles and how it has happen Exponentially. He spoke it twice in to my...

-The ability to do something the frightens one -Strength in the face of pain or grief -Bold, brave -Unafraid to face tough challenges Courage- “The absence of Fear” Absence - the nonexistence. Fear present itself in many ways, types or forms. It masks itself as real and uses our feelings and emotions to keep us bonded and motionless. Distract the mind to control us and to hold us down. Paralyze and steal us of our future. This was me for many years. Until I learn. Until I became face to face with the root off if and the realization that it’s has been all a lie and a mirage; to stop me, from what The Lord has for me. The opposite of fear is Courage or at least for me it is. When the Lord spoke to my heart and gave me the definition off it “ The Absence of Fear”. I felt that something broke inside my soul and a plug was removed. So every time I feel fear come in I remember it’s just a mirage. It doesn’t exit. It’s trying to stop me from something bigger. So today make a li...

Frustration often arises when expectations fall short, especially when we place trust in others only to feel deceived. This experience can bring disappointment, leaving us with lingering questions and unresolved emotions. But God’s purpose for these moments goes deeper. Each frustration reveals something within us—unmet desires, hidden motives, or misplaced trust—that God is ready to address. In times of frustration, let’s not let guilt, fear, or condemnation take hold. Instead, see it as God’s invitation to growth. Use it to examine your heart and motives, asking the Lord to reveal what may lie dormant, shaping how you respond. Take responsibility for your actions, seek forgiveness, and allow God to transform the situation. Remember that nothing in God’s hands goes to waste; He uses even our mistakes to refine us. The Bible reminds us, “Encourage and rebuke with all authority, do not let anyone despise you” (Titus 2:15). In these words, find strength to stand firm, embracing God’s...

Blessed by God Through every trial, through every storm, In each other’s arms, we are safe and warm. God wove our hearts with threads so tight, Bound by His love, we shine His light. When one of us stumbles, the other will rise, A bond unbroken beneath heaven’s skies. With strength like the mountains and grace like the sea, You stand beside me, setting me free. When days grow heavy and shadows fall, You are my answer to God’s gentle call. A sister’s love, so pure and strong, Carries me, even when the road seems long. God gave me you to help me through, His love in your smile, His spirit in all you do. Together we conquer, together we stand, Sisters forever, by God’s guiding hand. So when you feel weary, just look above, For in His grace, there’s endless love. With you, my sister, I know I’ll survive, For God’s strength in you keeps my spirit alive. Ruth Guzman (Guadalupe)

- Servant Heart - Busy Bee - Tag Along Lord help us to identify those that you want us to do life with. As we get closer to the New season help us to see with a clear vision. Hear with an open heart, and walk with a steady step. There are times when I see more than what I am ready to see. I see their motives, the tricks, the old self, their habits, the fear, and insecurities. How the natural man is entangled, how the flesh comes and takes over. The time has come to move forward. To take the steps of faith. Leaving old self behind. We can no longer live on yesterday's manna. We can not carry the new wine on old wineskin. You are calling us higher. For greater things like this, we would do. Let us not be so busy running from here to there, like busy bees; that we take for granted the lesson we ought to learn. Let me look inside my own heart and expose what lay there dormant. Waiting for the right time to be awakened. Let me do a self-inventory and check my own motives....

Heavenly Father, I come before You today, seeking Your protection and strength. You are her refuge and fortress, our God, in whom we trust. I ask that You surround her with Your loving presence and cast out all fear from her heart. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, even in the midst of this storm. Lord, I pray for courage to stand firm and to seek the help she need. Give her the wisdom to make the right decisions and the strength to follow through, even when she feel afraid. Help her to see her self as You see her, worthy of love, respect, and safety. Protect her from harm and guide her to safe spaces and supportive people who can help her. Break the chains of abuse and violence, and let Your light shine in the darkness. I ask that You deliver her from this situation and heal her heart, mind, and body from the wounds inflicted upon her. May Your angels watch over her and may Your Holy Spirit comfort her. I declare that fear has no place in her life, for You ...

I still remember the words my husband said as we drove around a late Sunday afternoon. “Do you trust God?” His tone was scary and firm, I knew something was going to happen and changed our lives forever. I said “If He is allowed to happen, He would see us through”. Was what I said, holding my breath and expecting his answer. The landlord is selling the house. We have 30-60 days to moved out. I stood silence for what it seems a long time. For the last few months I had asked if he was going to take advantage of the market and sell his property.  We had been there for 12 years. No it was his answer, every time I asked. We had pushed ourselves to paid off my new car. Since I had been driving ugly Betty a 27 year old Oldsmobile. Which literally was breaking on me. We only had one month to pay it off. My husband had always wanted a new truck so before we made the purchase, once again I had gone to the landlord and asked “Are you selling” No you would be the 1st to know. We went and purchas...

I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.” In celebration of what God will do. Seeing our Temple. Looking ahead. In this scripture twice “The Lord Almighty says”, and twice “He Declares”. Not out of repetition, but out of emphasis. Standing in fasting and prayer for what The Lord would do. Waiting with anticipation. Knowing to well this is just the beginning. Don’t let us loose heart and let us run the race marked out for us; running with blinders on; focusing in the call, the purpose and the mission. Ready for the race ahead. Let us don’t get distracted with civilians affairs. “The harvest is plentiful BUT the laborers are few, let US a...

To make new, to transform into, to be changed for the better. A new chance to start again. Today started just like my typical day going into the shelters to share my experiences with the girls. As I got ready to go out the door, The Lord spoke to my heart and said for me to pick up some mints I had in the draw. I get donations from different vendors which in return I use for props at the shelter, as an illustrated message. Today is not different than any other day, since I will be sharing from 2 Samuel 9 and the life of the “Mephiphoyet” the son of Jonathan, grandson of Saul. How life has not been fair to him. (read 2 Samuel 4:4) His nurse attempting to save him after his parents had been murdered, fled trying to protect him. In her haste, she fell and the 5 years old boy became cripple on both feet. He wasn’t born crippled, but due to someone else mistakes, he became cripple. To finish it up, he lived in a place considered a ghetto town in Biblical times; Named Lo-Debar, a ...

As I sat near the tabulator machine, I was able to see people faces, noticed their attitude, few of them express their discontent, mistrust and frustration. Victory Over The Enemy, was the word the Lord gave me for the last primary. Today it seems a little difference. How go are we able to have victory over the enemy? This is what The Lord gave me as I sat there. I had given my day off to be here. To do my civic duties. If we want change we have to do our part. I am doing mine The Lord would do his. Not the Dunkie or the Elephant, but The Lamb. Your Vote your voice. - Voicing our right to vote - Voicing our right over the darkness around us - Vindicating the wrong that had been taking place around us. - One more chance to make a change - Overtaking our rightful position as children’s of God. - Taking back what has been stolen, taken, or hijack due to our lack of concern. - Teaching others the value of their vote. - Telling others to understand and know their voting right...

Definition according to Google; The lack of a relation of something, Not confected with what you are discussing or dealing with, un necessary, not having anything to do with the matter at hand Not revelant or applicable to a particular matter or situation. IR= without, not inconsequential, insignificant, pointless, unimportant, unnecessary, unrelated. Personal definition. “Out of style, outdated, not longer needed, not longer accepted, non trending.” As we look around at what is taking place, it’s very easy to get distracted, with the mundane. Never in millions years I thought I will see and experience the ugliness that is taking place. There is not a save place to go. Every one is doing what they think is best in their heart. What was holy it had become unholy. What was wrong had become right. Darkness is over taking the land. As I watch I see mimicking behavior, patterns, easy to recognize, since the enemy can’t create, he counterfeit and duplicate. With laughter, an...

But the natural [unbelieving] man does not accept the things [the teachings and revelations] of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness [absurd and illogical] to him; and he is incapable of understanding them because they are spiritually discerned and appreciated, [and he is unqualified to judge spiritual matter” 1 Cor 2:14 As we continue breaking ground, making heaven more crowded, advancing toward what The Lord has for us, as a body of Chris. As we make room for MORE. Believing and taking God at His word. That He is able to do immeasurable MORE than all were ask or imagine. We are going to confront those who do not carry the same zeal, the same anointing, or the same calling. As it was in the days of Noah, so it is now. People with unbelieving hearts. Will come around us, to tell us, it can't be done. You are out of your mind if you think this is going to be possible. What you are trying is impossible. But for God, everything is possible, for Him who believes. Just becaus...

A year and half ago I walked through the doors of this church in search of a place we could call home. Out of desperation and need, I stumbled to the doors. As the choir is ushering us in, to His presence I heard a whisper in my heart wELCome home. Our lives have changed tremendously. Just a year prior, we were looking for a place where we could call home. A place where we could take root. The place where we will continue growing in The Lord. Everything its new. The Lord had blessed us with a new home in a new town. Away from what had been familiar with and where we had become accustomed. In 2020 The Lord had said to raise up my anchor and be ready to move. Everything was going to looked the same and familiar but at the same time everything was going to be different and new. Today as we looked back; we are bless to call ELC our home church. We are learning to elevate our thinking. We are aligning ourselves with others of the same faith, and new friends have become our family of ...
