God Chose YOU: Generational Change

God Chose YOU: Generational Change


God Chose YOU: Generational Change:

 

 

When YOU have been chosen: to change the whole direction of your family line, to break bad habits, to end toxicity, to stop disastrous patterns, to put a stop to generational curses, to send an ABUNDANCE OF LOVE through the next generations—God using you to accomplish these important, beautiful plans—please understand the following:

 

You will be attacked, including by . . . especially by . . . your so-called "family" and "friends". So, put on the FULL ARMOR OF GOD, according to Ephesians 6:10-18, 23-24 (below)!

 

Do not be discouraged! You have a wonderful calling, and the Holy Spirit will guide you all the way through; stay prayerful, all will be just fine! It is always darkest before dawn . . . and when your "dawn" comes . . . WHEN YOUR "DAWN" COMES: it will be BEAUTIFUL! Hang in there!

 

 

 [Glory to God, the Most High. Hallelujah.]

 

 

THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD:

 

10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

 

13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

 

18 Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

 

23 Peace be with you, dear brothers and sisters, and may God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you love with faithfulness. 24 May God’s grace be eternally upon all who love our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

-Ephesians 6:10-18, 23-24

 

 

 

God is Love,

My Hair Disappeared in My Sleep: Narcissistic Abuse – Charrese Monique (Testimony)


 

My Hair Disappeared in My Sleep:

Narcissistic Abuse

- Charrese Monique (Testimony):

 

 

Imagine waking up one day, and almost all of your hair is missing . . . MISSING. It is not on your pillow. It is not on the floor. It is just simply NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

 

Imagine waking up to go to the restroom, and what you see in the mirror . . . IS YOUR HAIR MYSTERIOUSLY REDUCED TO ONLY ABOUT AN INCH LONG and some places EVEN SHORTER, and this is ALMOST ALL OVER YOUR HEAD . . . about 99%. HAIR: NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.

 

That is what happened to me back in 2014. Be careful who you call "best friend", "friend", "family", etc., including in your family.

 

 

For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

-Ephesians 6:12

 

 

Imagine the culprit being someone you once held closely to you . . . .

 

Imagine the Holy Spirit comforting you and you NOT CRYING when you see your almost bald head: This is my truth!

 

Imagine no weapon forming against you prospering: GOD grew my hair back more beautiful, healthier, and longer than it was before it was "removed".

 

Imagine you still being confident and (humbly said) still feeling beautiful through it all: I NEVER lost my confidence.

 

Understand this: NOTHING a person attempts or does to sabotage God's will for your life will succeed! This is MY truth! This is GOD'S truth!

 

Because of Jesus . . . I win. I received more than and healthier than what I had lost! Hallelujah! On to the future I go!

 



Note: This is my real hair (in the video). I have trimmed it as well as cut it several times for its health. How it looks with the additional hair added (end of video) is about my desired length, God willing. God is amazing.

Blessed "in the Presence of My Enemies"




Blessed "in the Presence of My Enemies":


Some people have found unexpected and surprising individuals trying to connect with them, in person and/or on social media: unexpected phone calls and text messages; surprising social media followers, friend requests, subscribers, inboxes, and so on. Also, some people have surprising individuals who have lingered around their life, but the reason is not clear. You have no idea why these surprising individuals would even want to connect with you or be near your life in any way—given their KNOWN negative feelings and behaviors toward you (past or present), or their close relationships or connections with your enemies. Well, do not be surprised. This is to be expected.

Remember what God's Word says will happen:


You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
-Psalm 23:5



Remember that prophetic Bible verse when you find yourself surrounded by people, whether in person or online:


—Who you KNOW do not like you.

—Who you KNOW are at least not very fond of you.

—Who you are AWARE are jealous or envious of you.

—Who you KNOW have tried (or still try) to compete with you.

—Who you KNOW have a history of gossiping about you.

—Who you KNOW have let other people talk badly about you, and they stood there and said or did nothing to demonstrate their friendship or their love or respect for you, or they even participated in the bad-mouthing against you.

—Who have said mean, hurtful, or hateful things to you.

—Who you KNOW have SOMETHING against you.

—Who you KNOW are [not-so-] secretly working for someone who does not like you (spying on your life and acting as "carrier pigeons" for someone who has something against you).

—Whom you celebrate and congratulate during their special occasion and achievements, but they rarely or just never celebrate or congratulate you.

—Who have never been welcoming toward you, and/or have treated you unkindly.

—Who have KNOWINGLY hurt your feelings, broken your heart, harmed you, or sinned against you—in ANY way—but have never apologized to you and act as if their wrongdoings never happened.



When you find this "strange" phenomenon occurring in your life, and God is leading you to allow these surprising individuals to be present in some way (typically in a non-personal way)—find it NOT strange! Rather, GET READY FOR YOUR BLESSINGS TO UNFOLD! Some of those "enemies" who have surprisingly shown up or have lingered in or around your life: GOD has those individuals present for HIS reasons.



This is NOT justification for gloating or about rejoicing when our enemies fall! We should not do either (please refer to Proverbs 24:17)!

Forgive all (even without apology). Be kind to all (God is watching your actions and responses and listening to your words as well). Love all, and demonstrate that love to all (Jesus is our greatest example of how to love). Move onward with your life and—with a HUMBLE heart—enjoy God's blessings in your life.



God's reasons for wanting us to be blessed before the presence of our enemies will vary. Our enemies might somehow be reaping what they have sown in our lives. God might even be teaching our enemies some kind of valuable life lesson by blessing whom they have treated so badly. No matter what God's reasons are, God knows what He is doing, and either way, God is LOVE—and our Heavenly Father disciplines and chastises us as HIS CHILDREN WHOM HE LOVES (please read Hebrews 12:5-11).

So, also consider the following: Your forgiveness, kindness, love, and humble heart and behavior, could also bring your enemies closer to Jesus Christ (we should desire this). Remember what Jesus Christ says:


44 But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! 45 In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. 46 If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. 47 If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that.

-Matthew 5:44-47



Yes, some surprising and unlikely individuals who show up and try to reconnect or connect with you genuinely desire to apologize to you, make things right, befriend you, or be in your life in a loving way. However, the Holy Spirit is guiding me to only deliver the message above because: A SHIFT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED (in Jesus mighty name, amen).



These are the words the Holy Spirit suddenly poured into my spirit this morning, and I am to share them now.

All glory belongs to God.

I love you all, but God love you BEST of all! May God bless you all.

All Glory to God,

The Principles of Love



The Principles of Love:



Love is sometimes self-sacrificial.
Love requires selflessness.
Love calls for patience.

This is the kind of love that Jesus showed us when He gave up His own life to die for our sins. This is the kind of love Jesus demonstrates daily. Jesus provides our example of how we should love one another: with self-sacrifice when necessary, selflessness, and patience. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 goes more in depth. (Please closely examine those vital verses about sincere love.)



In demonstration of our love for someone, there will be times when we will have to have and even maintain the following mindsets:


"I love your soul, more than I love the desires of my flesh."

"I care about your spirit, more than I care about what my flesh desires."

"I care more about God's purpose for me in your life than I care about what I desire according to my own knowledge, emotions, and ideas."

"I care more about your life and about the negative effects my disobedience could have on your life, more than I care about what I desire."



Jesus said the following:


41 And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup [of divine wrath] from Me; yet not My will, but [always] Yours be done.” 43 Now an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.

-Luke 22:41-43


Although Jesus knew He had quite a road ahead: Jesus chose God's will. He chose obedience to our Heavenly Father. He chose God's perfect bigger picture. Jesus chose His LOVE for US . . . over any other emotion, desire, or outcome. It is a beautiful thing that He did so. Jesus chose US and His LOVE for us, over SELF: Jesus provides our greatest example and best demonstrates the principles of love.



Sometimes, God will ask us to do something for love or in light of love that our flesh will not agree with, but we will have to step forward in faith, and above all, in obedience to our all-knowing, loving, perfect, Heavenly Father. God sees the bigger picture. God knows what He is doing. If you need strength, just like how Jesus was provided with strength, God can provide you with strength as well, in whatever ways He sees best.

Whatever God is asking you to do in order to demonstrate sincere love, however God is asking you to love someone or those people, whatever instructions God gives to you: Just do YOUR part, and TRUST GOD to provide the BEST outcomes. WE MUST TRUST GOD'S LOVE.



These are the words the Holy Spirit poured into my spirit, beginning right upon awakening. He is guiding me to share at this time.

Amen. All glory to God.

I love you all, but God loves you BEST of all. May God bless you all.

True Love Defined:



What is true love according to God's Holy Word? Here is the awesome, wonderful, beautiful truth:


Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured. It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail]. 7 Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening].

-1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (Amplified Bible)



If ever you need a reminder of what true love ishow to express true love, how you should be treated, how true love should feelalways refer back to these insightful, vital verses about true love.


May God bless you always.

God's Intentional Connections




God's Intentional Connections:



Along my personal journey in this life, humbly said, not everyone has understood my brand of kindness, my capacity for forgiveness, my willingness to be welcoming in the aftermath of forgiveness, my gift to be extensively patient, the various ways that I show love (generally speaking). The (typically hurtful) results of that have varied . . . .


What God has taught me in the midst of and in hindsight of it all, is the following:


—Not everyone is SUPPOSED to understand.

—Not everyone DESERVES to understand.

—Not everyone CARES to understand.

—Not everyone is DESIGNED (BY GOD) to understand.




All of that is because . . . ACCORDING TO GOD’S PERFECT WILL:


—Not just ANYBODY belongs in your personal life.

—Not just ANYONE should have a special place in your heart.

—Not just ANYONE is meant to share with you your heart.

—Not just ANYBODY should have access to God's gifts in your life, natural and spiritual.

—Not just ANYONE should be connected to you and God's calling(s) over your life.


Again, ACCORDING TO GOD’S PERFECT WILL.




Furthermore, when you have been blessed with someone (or people) who not only "understands", but also appreciates and embraces who God has created YOU to be, what all God has created YOU to offer, and the special ways God has created YOU to love, and who reciprocates appreciation—and that person or those people align with God's will for your life:


—Thank God for them always.

—Pray for them daily.

—Love on them sincerely.

—Show them your love in extra special ways.

—Do not take them for granted.

—Be as patient with them as God needs for you to be.

—Seek God about them continually, to be a gift to them in every way God desires, in every way that person (or those people) needs (according to God’s will).

—Remember, they are a gift to you . . . appreciate them, however you can, whenever you can.




The Holy Spirit poured these beautiful words into my spirit to share. All Glory to God. Amen. 🕊🙏🏼

I love you all, but God loves you BEST of all. May God bless you all. 🙏🏼🤍




*IMPORTANT NOTE:


Always FORGIVE, no matter what. 🙏🏼

Matthew 6:14. (However, forgiveness does not require intimate presence; we must be wise, and we must seek God. Proverbs Chapter 2.)


Always LOVE, no matter what. 🙂

1 Corinthians Chapter 13. Matthew 22:37-40. Matthew 5:43-48. John 13:34.

Communication in Relationships (of All Kinds)

 



Communication in Relationships:
An Important Message on Relationships (of all Kinds)
and Communication:
 
 

"Differences" is not always the problem:

 

Failing to communicate properly—with love, patience, and kind speaking tones; with the willingness to actually listen to one another and at least try to understand one another, instead of verbally or mentally cutting one another off, instead of automatically being ready to disagree or defend without truly listening first; and without conclusion jumping, rude facial expressions, and bad attitudes—are the problems. Excluding God is a problem.

 

Wisely ponder your words and responses (silently if necessary), then talk. If necessary, kindly step away, pray, and then return to the conversation later (making sure to not go to bed angry at each other, as that gives room for Satan to have a foothold, Ephesians 4:26-27). Pray together before beginning or continuing on with a discussion. Consider each other's feelings and life experiences (while not making each other pay for your pasts). Be mindful of your own words and actions, or a lack thereof where there should have been—and acknowledge, take responsibility, and apologize for any offenses on your behalf if any exist. How the other individual in the matter responds or carries themselves is between God and them—God will address them in His own way Himself, God will lead you on how and when to address them if it is called for, or a combination of both will occur. Just do your parts, prayerfully and with love and forgiveness. Apologize in general for anything less than unity and love, no matter who you think is at fault.

 

All of that applies to every type of relationship—friendships, family, with that special someone, marriage. The main and most vital components of healthy relationships and communication that absolutely cannot be excluded are the following: God (our Heavenly Father, Jesus, His Holy Spirit), love, respect, and forgiveness.

 

 Be led by the Holy Spirit with one another, and allow His beautiful fruit to be produced:



But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

-Galatians 5:22

 

 

I love you all, but God loves you BEST of all. May God bless you all.

Miracles STILL Happen! Charrese Monique's Testimony

Miracles STILL Happen: Charrese Monique's Testimony


Miracles STILL Happen!
Charrese Monique's Testimony:


On the morning of December 18, 2020, God woke me up out of my sleep to put together this video and share it. Topic: Miracles STILL Happen!

With a humble heart, as led by the LORD, I am sharing clips from a testimony I shared on October 12, 2019: With my medical records provided, I will be sharing my testimony of how prayer works, how Jesus healed me in a situation that could have costed me my life. Doctors could not help me! Medicine could not help me, it only made things worse! Only Jesus could help me! His healing! Hallelujah!

(Yes, I feel a little uncomfortable sharing, as I look back at this video and I can see that I was still recovering, and you'll see pictures of my colon. However, I also look back and see evidence of miracles! I see a survivor. I see that my testimony is not just for me—it is also for you. So, in obedience to my loving Heavenly Father, humbly and gladly, I am sharing.)




Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
-Hebrews 13:8



Please click the photo below or follow the link under the photo to watch my testimony. I was not able to link the video here, directly—but God's will prevails!







Note: I removed the pictures of what happened to my face, as God allowed since it was a bit traumatizing for me. However, they are in the original video on YouTube. Thank you.

 

 

I love you all, but GOD truly loves you BEST of all! May God bless you all!
