I woke up early this morning, as my husband prepared to go to work. Ladies, it hit me so hard, and I finally realized that God has delivered me from so many yokes of bondage. He lead me to Deuteronomy 8th Chapter, I read it and all I could do was weep. As many of you know Charlotte, NC was the place were God birthed forth A New Woman Ministries, and also the place where I encountered many heartaches and pain. So many people sought to defame my name, and destroy that which God had placed in me. There were many days I felt like going back into the world, and doing other things that would have landed me in jail or prison, but I held on. Through the struggles and much torment, God placed His loving hands around me. One day I want to share my entire testimony, very soon on the ANWM Fellowship Line. But anyway, this chapter blew me away, because for those that don't know, I have moved back to my hometown, Winston-Salem, NC, it's been about a month now, and what started out as a mini-vacation, turned out to be a release into the next phase of my destiny, which brought me out of my Egypt and Wilderness Experience into my Promise Land! (I did recieve the fruit of the spirit, called longsuffering) This morning, I just took a moment to think back on all the people who put me out of their homes; when I had nowhere to go, and falsely accusing me of things that are were totally outside of my character. I had even had one man, who is a pastor, accuse me of plotting to physically fight his wife, so he told my husband and asked I to leave! Just the day before, he actually cried in my face, and said he wouldn't put us out his home, that they loved having us there. My friends, that's just the tip of the iceburg, I could go on and on. But those days of pain, hurt, and confusion....I remember praying and praying, all the while I felt like it would never end. Little did I know, God was working it out, and working some things out of me! So when I planned to visit my mother 4 weeks ago, I was in for a big surprise. Everything was in place, and favor met us everywhere we went to get the things we needed. If it was left up to me, I would have fled the assignment (just like Jonah!), because I had in my mind that I would "never" move back home. But my God knows all things, and he definately knows what's best for me. My hometown, is where I grew up, where I did some of my most sinful acts, but look at me now, I am not the same person I used to be. Now I am in preparation to do a mighty work for the Lord here. The atmosphere in this city is so different from Charlotte, NC, and God showed me that I would reach many women here for the Kingdom. I can honestly say that I have peace, I can really focus, and things are finally coming together. My husband and I have been through perilous times since we've been married, almost 5 years, but we stood together, never leaving eachother side, and that makes this Promise Land Experience even more exciting. In Deuteronomy the 8th Chapter, the Lord was giving me precise instructions while in this new place. What really stuck out to me was that He kept saying REMEMBER THE LORD THY GOD, AND OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS, this lets me know that He has some wonderful things stored up for me and my family, an abundance of souls, land, houses, food, and wealth. We shall want for nothing, as long as we walk in his ways, and fear him. I know this word is for someone else, make sure you read this powerful chapter, and share what God is saying to you concerning your situation. Please pray for me, and be sure to tell another woman about the move of God here in A New Woman Ministries. In closing, I thank God that He has delivered me from the hand of the enemy!
