Depression or Spiritual Warfare?

Two days ago I started falling into a very dark & heavy place, some would call it depression including myself, but now I wonder. I wonder as every time these times happen I am at a cross road & needing to find God's will for the next step, and facing questions.

I over this last couple of days found myself fighting the darkness with God's truth & as the darkness was getting heavier today I reached out for prayer from the body of Christ. I could feel the healing power of the prayer being lifted up as my day went on, by the end of the day the light had replaced the darkness & the heaviness was gone.
I ask the question is this Depression or is this Spiritual Warfare?

I find that now when it comes it is not taking me as long to run to God & ask for prayer, this seems to be the medication to heal. I find the darkness & heaviness leave as soon as I do this.

Ephesians 6:11-17
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
Romans 12:1

Father thank you for all you have done for me. Please forgive me for I am a sinner & I have sinned against you. Father take me as I am, take me as a living sacrifice. Help me to put on your full armor on a daily basis & fill me with your holy spirit. Help me stay strong to fight off the weapons that come my way, help me stay stead fast in the knowledge that you have already won the war. In Jesus Christ Name Amen.

Prayer Reqests:

Please Pray for God to open my eyes to where he will lead me next.

Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should. Ephesians 6:19-20

My Prayer request is for this Blog to be the will of God, for what he wants people to hear stay fixed on their hearts and for anything not from him fall away from memory. My eyes to stay fixed on Jesus & my will to be in line with God`s will for my life, for our fathers prevision as I walk in faith and for me not to get in the way.

Please pray for God to place a hedge of protection around me as I feel the presence of spiritual warfare. Praise God for replacing doubt & fear with his word & promise as I journey.

I also would like to request prayer for my two children to keep their lives in line with God`s will and (for them to be baptized)Praise God for answered prayer as my Children were Baptized Nov. 28,2010.

For my mother to have peace in what God is leading me to do and for her to release me to follow the steps Christ has laid in front of me....

Please pray for a hedge of protection to be put over the members of my family, friends and future marriage & ministries. The covering of us all with the blood of Jesus.

Thank you for being a prayer partner!

Praise to the God of all Comfort

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.

We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced .............. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.

2 Corinthians 1:3-11

"BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER" by Maya Angelou

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far to o visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

My Prayer

God hears us & is with us no matter when where & who we are with. Lift up your Prayers God is Listening &

Please Join me in prayer:

1)Father thank you for the promise you gave us through your son Jesus Christ. I lift the people of this world up to you in prayer, you know what they are facing, you know each one of them by name. Father let your will be done in their lives, flood them with your peace, hope, joy, & grace. Fill them with your holy spirit on a daily basis. Place a hedge of protection around them & cover them with the blood of Jesus. Father if they do not know you draw them close so they can see you. Remove all barriers that would stand in their way to knowing you. Father transform us & help our eyes stay fixed on Jesus. Jesus if we ever needed you its now! Lord Jesus Christ please come.....In Jesus Christ Name Amen.

2)Father thank you for the promise of plans to prosper us and not harm us, plans to give us hope and a future.(Jeremiah 29:11) Father you have shown me your peace & joy you have for me, a peace and joy that is greater than we can fathom. Father I never want to leave your presence again. I don`t want to return to the way it was. I want to grow in the way it is. I want to spend my days lifting your name on high, praising you through every breath I take. Father transform and consume every corner of my being, take charge of my thoughts, my spoken words and my actions, let your will be done in my life, not thine.......In Jesus Christ name Amen.

3)Lord I ask you to shelter my children in your protection, shower them with your mercy and grace, guide their footsteps. Father I ask you to send any enemy that is standing against them to be returned back to the pit of hell where they belong. Place peace in their hearts that is above understanding. Allow them to shine your light into the darkness of this world and help their eyes to be fixed on you through everything that comes their way. In Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Will Do Speaking Engagements.

2 Corinthians 1:3-11

The Story Behind The Photography

The Story Behind The Photography:

I use to be band from taking photo’s even where I worked. I didn’t start doing photography until my family went through a trial that caused us to call 911 over 60 times in an 8 month period of time in 2009, due to my daughter having a severe undiagnosed reaction to a prescription medication.

I was given the gift of looking through the lens of a camera during that time to escape what we were facing if not only for a moment. I was able to focus on the beauty around me amongst the trauma we were facing. I was shocked when I started looking at the pictures that started coming out of my camera.

Early this year, after my daughter had signed us up at the Christmas show at the Tradex, we were filmed for a new HGTV show called “Consumed.” I was surprised by the positive feed back I received for my photography.

I was encouraged by what I heard to go further with my photography. I hope that if you find yourself facing something you can find a way to focus on the beauty around you if only for a moment.

HEAVENS VERY SPECIAL CHILD

A meeting was held, quite far from Earth!
It's time again, for another birth.
Said the Angels, to the Lord above,
This special child will need much love.
His progress may be very slow,
Accomplishments he may not show.
And he'll require extra care
From the folks he meets down there.
He may not run or laugh or play,
His thoughts may seem, quite far away,
In many ways he won't adapt,
And he'll be known as handicapped.
So let's be careful where he's sent,
We want his life to be content.
Please Lord, find the parents who
Will do a special job for you.
They will not realize right away
The leading role they're asked to play,
But with this child sent from above
Comes stronger faith and richer love.
And soon they'll know the privilege given
In caring for their gift from Heaven.
Their precious charge, so meek and mild,
Is HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD.

How do you define Poverty?

What do you see on the streets, a sign saying I'm Hungry/ I'm Homeless with the internal response being get a job/they are just scamming or do you see the person behind the sign who is suffering from poverty of being that won't allow them to get out of material poverty.
