Women of Authority Ministries
and how we began...

Evangelist Carleen Brown

Women of Authority Ministries began initially from a creation of a newsletter in April 2000 as I sat at my desk studying the Word of God with my computer in front of me. The Lord impressed on me to begin writing and typing everything he led on my heart. It was then the words just began to flow like rivers of water. The words flowed quicker than I could type. In fact, the writings and supernatural experiences occurred during the stormiest time in my life. But it was then that I felt the closest to God. God would literally show me my entire day before it happened. I thought when it occurred the first time it was by coincidence. But I began noticing that my dreaming was frequently every night and the experiences lived out every day. The time I began experiencing the dreams was the time that my days were consume with constant prayer and fasting. It was

then that I knew that God was giving me prophetic dreams and insights before it happened.

The WOA newsletter was compile of topics and writings that God had given me reminding me that the divorce I was undergoing may have hurt me, bruised my spirit but it will not kill me, and I will ARISE. He shared at that time that he would use the very thing that hurt me so severely to minister to other women that were spiritually and emotionally wounded. It has now been over twenty years that WOA Ministries began. I realize now that the writings were an outlet that God had given me to process the hurt while leading me on a journey of healing and self-discovery but most of all recognizing my Godly authority in scripture.

Yes! The year 2020 will make it 20 years that the Women of Authority Ministries have been established.
The Women of Authority Ministries have touched hundreds of lives through Ministry of the Word, WOA Conferences, WOA monthly mentoring workshops, Young Women for Christ Workshops, local church affiliations with Kingdom Authority series, revivals, Sounding the Alarm daily devotionals via Facebook, WOA videos and prayer.

The twenty years have not been easy, but it has been fruitful. Oh yeah!

Just a nugget I want to whisper in your spirit. The Lord shared earlier this month in December that 2020 will be a Year of Fulfillment of Godly Expectations. So whatever Godly expectation(s) you have had before God's throne begin looking for it to manifest in the year of 2020! Say out loud with me "This year is my year that my Godly expectations will be fulfilled. It will be a year that I will see more clearly the things that he has for me to do. Amen!"

See you next year!

There are Battles You Need Not Fight

You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.”

2 Chronicles 20:17

In this particular chapter, we see the continued supernatural help of the father concerning his children. The chapter starts with King Jehoshaphat, King of Judah receiving a message that the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir were gathering to come against him and the people of Judah. The words state that upon hearing this word that fear came upon King Jehoshaphat. Have you ever been in a situation where you knew or were expecting a certain thing to come one way? But now you found yourself in a midst of a storm that the enemy is not only coming one way but is coming from many different directions. But Jehoshaphat gives us an example of how to respond when the enemy chooses to attack us. Let us look quickly at the steps King Jehoshaphat took after hearing that his enemies have set to come against him.

1. He sat a fast for him and the people of Judah. When we are faced with opposition we need to know what to do. We need clarity, we need flesh to die to allow our spirit to hear from God.

2. They sought the Lord-So not only is there a need to fast. But fasting and praying goes together. Fasting and Praying strengthen our faith that is capable of moving mountains in our lives. We need a faith that can survive from prayer to the manifestation of our answered prayer on earth. We need some faith to be able to see beyond the opposition, and our current circumstances realizing that God can move every opposition. And nullify the enemies’ plans.

3. Confess and acknowledge God for whom he isand the acts that he had already done in your life. Jehoshaphat reminds the Lord “You are God, God in heaven, there is no power on earth that can withstand you. Isn’t it you that drove out the inhabitants of this land and gave it to your people Israel as their possession, He ended by saying “You are my God”. It’s alright to remind God who he is and what he had already done in your life. Remind God, “You are My God and I put My Trust in You! Not the situation, not the problem and how it looks.

4. Know where to go when the enemy comes. In His Presence!
Jehoshaphat goes on to say in verse 9, in which I believe he was encouraging himself. After all, he had 3 groups of people coming against him at the same time. It’s one thing to have a fair fight. But this fight was not fair to have three tribes against one. The enemy wanted to destroy the people of God. His plan has not changed. But Jehoshaphat says “If disaster comes upon us sword, judgment, pestilence or famine we know where to go and that is in your temple, your presence. We are reminded that when the enemy comes we have protection, security, peace, abundance and joy in the presence of the Father. Isn’t it something when you are minding your own business. Just doing you. But then for no reason an attack comes in the form of lying on you, trouble on the job, trouble in the marriage, trouble in the family, trouble in your finances and your health. You look up and say “Lord why have all this befallen me when I have not done wronged anyone. The enemy’s goal is to attempt to take what God has given you. Your inheritance! Of Joy, Peace, Protection, Abundance, and safe dwelling places.

5. Fixed your Eyes on the Lord. Jehoshaphat realized looking in the natural that his army could not win against three groups of people coming after him at one time. But he said in the very same thought, But Our eyes are Upon God. Let us put our eyes not on the situation, not on the circumstance. Because the circumstance factually looks dismal. But in the realm of the spirit, we have victory through God. So, our eyes are on God that has the power to move and turn any situation for our good. We need to ask the Lord to take us higher than the situation.

6. Receive a word from God. So many times, we just need a word from God. A fresh revelation that speaks to our hearts to hang on in there to let us know “that it will be alright.” Then the word of God was revealed to the people of Judah to not be afraid or dismayed by this great multitude. In this is a battle you will not have to fight. This battle is not yours, it’s the Lords. God reminds us today that he has this. You don’t have to try to fix it. You don’t have to try to open up your mouth to vindicate yourself.

7. God will give you a strategic plan. God tells the people of God, where the enemies will be. But he reminds them this is not a battle they will have to fight. Listen and obey God’s word.

8. Next Position YourSelf. How do you position yourself.? You position yourself in the posture of prayer knowing that we don’t have to fight. We do our fighting on our knees in the realm of the spirit. The word says we fight not against flesh and blood but against principalities,and powers in heavenly places. So our posture is to (1) pray (2) Worship (3) Stand still and see the Salvation of the Lord. Somethings God just wants you to become aware that if it was not for him this miracle, or provision could not have happened. Sometimes we are put in that position because he wants us to see the power of God move in our life. Sometimes we question whether is God really real. Do you really hear me? So God wants to show you how real, how powerful he is and that he hears you. The Lord says not by power or by might but by my spirit says the Lord of Host!

9. Next Praise God! With Thankful hearts. Jehoshaphat and the people praise God. It’s in the worship and the praise that God moves. God says if I will be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me.

10. Be reminded of the Word. Jehoshaphat reminded the people of God what was already revealed by the prophet of God. Jehoshaphat says to the people, ‘Believe in your God and it shall be established; believe in your prophets and ye shall prosper”. We are reminded of the inspired written word of God as well as the prophetic word of God that has been revealed. The word of of God is what we stand on. Standing on the Word of God will produce miracles.

11. Accept your Assignment. Jehoshaphat gave appointments (1) some were to sing to the Lord (2) Others should praise God in the beauty of holiness as they led the army. Having a praise team leading the army defies human logic. You want things to move in your life. Lead by singing and worshipping the Lord. Not by complaining, moaning, and crying. What moves God is faith in his word and worship in his presence. In the New Testament, we are reminded that worshiping and praising God will open prison doors and set you free!

12. Let God work out the situation. The word says ambushments were made against the enemy of Judah as the people sang and worship. The enemy (the three tribes) destroyed one another. God will bring confusion among those who conspire against you. You don’t have to lift a hand.

13. You will overlook your enemies! You will see with your own eyes the demise of your enemy. You will be victorious! The word of God says in Psalm 141 That the wicked will fall in their own nets.

14. You will gather the spoil! God has blessings for you that you do have not room enough to store. The spoils are for the one who triumphs in battle. Who triumphed was God. But the spoils were for the people of God. The word says that there was so much abundance of jewels and goods that it took three days to gather. There are jobs, promotions, wealth, court case winnings, and health that are yours. Go and possess it!

15. You will Bless the Lord. The valley of Ziz has become the Valley of Berachah. God has now placed his people in a position of blessings. The Valley of Berachah, Meaning Blessing. God is changing your location from lack to more than enough.
16 God gives them rest! It’s your season of rest. I speak rest to you and your household this 31stday of July 2023 at 11:40am.

Prayer:
I pray that we would understand that when faced with opposition from the North, South, East, and West. That we would not become overwhelmed, fearful, or dismayed. Lord we are reminded to run and be in your presence. We are reminded that this is not our battle. The battle is yours. The Lord is saying he is calling us to a position of prayer, to hear God’s revelation, and to receive his strategic plan concerning our lives and this current situation. God thank you for we recognize you have called us into a season of worshiping. It’s in the faith we know you have this. We are expecting supernatural favor and provision for our life. God, you are turning things around in our lives. Some of us are looking to win court cases, and social security disability cases, we need you to step on the job. God, you are closing the mouth of every liar, contender in the spirit realm that is trying to steal our inheritance. The enemy will not prevail against your people. Every ill-spoken word spoken against you will not bear fruit, but it will be dismantled. God says you do not need to vindicate yourself or justify yourself against lies. Keep your mouth shut and he will speak for you. We come against every conspiracy that is formed against the children of God. Every conspiracy is destroyed by the fire of the Holy Spirit. God, we decree today you are changing our location from lack to stepping into our Valley of Berach-Our Valley of Blessings and season of rest from our enemies this day of July 31, 2023. This 7th month. It is completed and sealed in Jesus Name.

GOD WILL SUSTAIN US. BE NOT FEARFUL!

As I began to inquire of the Lord, the following scripture was given to me I Kings 17. During this time in biblical history King Ahab became a full fledge worshipper of Baal with the prompting of the Priestess Jezebel. It is said that Ahab set up a temple for Baal, altar of Baal and a wooden image. Ahab actually set up this Baal cult as the state religion. This cult religion believed that rain came from Baal.

But God sends his powerful prophet Elijah to speak on his behalf; letting all know that unless God gives a word through his Prophet, drought will pursue and no dew or rain will exist.
Inspite of the drought that Elijah proclaims on the earth. The Lord gives direction to Elijah as to where provision is for him while the drought exist. In our current circumstance with the Coronavirus existing globally; we may feel that we ourselves are feeling a drought or may experience in the future a shortage of , toiletries, money). But God reminds us through this biblical drought that God will send direction, provision and peace in these current happenings. We who live daily by faith are most likely the persons that do not have millions in the bank. So we aren’t panicking like so many others who rely on their monies. We who live by faith, have blood on our door post.

But we as Christians although we walk by Faith must be Prayerful, Practical, Reasonable and Responsible not only for ourselves but for others as well. But this is the day that we Christians rise up to say that although there is much uncertainty God has the final say. It is needed like never before to be able to hear the voice of God. I pray that the eyes and ears of your spirit be enlightened.

As I work from home and as I take a break for lunch picking up my bible to hear a word from God . Because I have certainly heard enough of the News stations, CDC, and major health authorities which brings nothing but fear and doubt.

God gave me the following book and chapter which is 1 Kings I7. As I read my bible the following stands out:
1. A famine is proclaimed in the land. (Global threat as the current coronavirus pandemic)
2. God speaks to the Man of God. (He continues to speak to us today)
3. The Man of God was attentive and able to decipher God speaking. (We need to quiet our spirit to hear from God although not ignoring what is happening in the world).
4. God tells the Man of God to HIDE by the BROOK OF CHERITH. (Provision of water that no one else was aware of existed. While there was drought for others, there was an entire brook for Elijah. God is our provider.
5. Because Elijah was able to hear the Lord, He submitted to the following of God. I’m pretty sure that he might have thought okay water will be there, but what about food.
6. But ravens found the Man of God, and these ravens brought both bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening. (God knows where you are. But we also need to be at the place that he has for us to be).
7. God sustained him until the brook dried up. But when the Brook dried up there was direction to another resource.

We are not going to live by fear, but we are going to hear God and move by his direction. When we do that provision will always be there. Be prayerful knowing that God has us. For more encouragement, please visit

He Will Make Your Enemies Your Foot Stool

We live in a world where people will not like you for no apparent reason. We often see on reality television women fighting and cursing one another. This behavior the world has adopted as the norm. People not liking one another because to others you look "stuck up" and to another "you did not speak" or it could be as simple as God bringing financial increase into your household. So yes, believe it or not we do have enemies. An enemy you may not know is your enemy. But we all know the father of lies and schemes rule such a spirit. I am now 50 years old and have lived a surrendered life to Christ for more than 35 years. I have found as I increase in years that everything in the WORD of GOD is true not only for centuries ago, but in this current 21st Century. I recalled when living in California working for this "undisclosed company" having to endure "lies, backbiting, stabbing you in the back; as well as being extremely confrontational. A former coworker and I (now a dear friend) would call that work environment "The Wild, Wild West". Well, every Monday morning we would meet at the boardroom table to discuss our week and our goals as well as what was accomplished the prior week. We all would take turns and share what significant project we were working on and had accomplished. Many of the sharing was right out lies and fabrication. I recalled as a new employee not being there very long shared in honesty what was going on as well as the difficulties that I had encountered on one of the projects. Nonetheless, I recalled after the meeting my supervisor coming into my office to reprimand me. I'm sitting there thinking “what did I say that was so wrong.” I only spoke the truth. Apparently, she wanted me not to speak of any difficulties, but only "Fluff and untruths"; because she wanted her department to look good. I recalled that same supervisor that would rant and rave. Would also come into my office and shut the door crying and asking for prayer. And yes, I would hold her hands and pray with her. Periodically this had become the norm. So, I thought we were creating a genuine relationship although I knew she was my supervisor. Later as years had gone by and that supervisor no longer apart of the company; and I now promoted received shocking news from her former boss that "she wanted to fire me"; my response "really". Little did I know she wanted me gone as I had always done my work and had received good evaluations.

Well years later, the Lord had allowed me to meet up with her. Immediately she began apologizing for how she treated me and begins to share what she had done to me; also sharing “that you had done nothing to deserve that.” She also thanked me in leading her to Christ because when her father was on his death bed, she knew how to lead her father to Christ. So, she hugged me with tears in her eyes and said "Thank You" so much and if there is anything I can do for you just call me. So yes, the Lord reminds us today that even in hostile situations continue to show the Love of Christ. If you keep living you will find that the very scripture you have read has unfolded and has become true in your life. And “Yes!” He will make your enemies at peace with you and caused them to Bless you! Have A Bless Tuesday!

Our Battle is Spiritual

Many of us become consumed with the situation we find ourselves in. Many times we begin to look at our situation in the natural ; and from that stand point we begin to want to fix it or correct it ourselves. If someone has caused us harm we may want to retaliate "get them back". Many of us have made up in our minds we are not going to be a push over and let people walk all over us. But the Lord reminds us that there is a spiritual war going on; and It is NOT against flesh and blood. We can not defeat the enemy with words, fist or confrontation. Long ago when I was faced with insurmountable trials, it wasn't retaliation I was feeling but I wanted to withdraw from the world. Sometimes the warfare becomes so intense it becomes hard to pray and to be honest you feel as though there is nothing to praise for. But as I find myself in this trial that took me by worldwind; the spirit of God spoke to me and told me "Do opposite of what the enemy wants". The enemy does not want you to Praise Me, the enemy Does not want you to get out of Bed, The enemy does not want you to pray or read your word." But sometimes you have to muster up enough strength to say "Thank you Lord". This situation does not look good, it does not feel good. But I am thanking you anyway. And when we can muster up enough strength just to give Him just a little praise, God will step in and ambush our enemy. Webster defines AMBUSH as "a surprise attack by people lying in wait in a concealed position. But I am going to say the HOST of Heaven, God's Angels under HIS command is lying wait to ambush the enemy. The enemy, those old nasty spirits such as "hate, depression, financial hardship, lack, infirmity, hopelessness, addictions, disrespectful children, stubbornness, jealousy, adultrey, pornography, fornication." When the enemy thinks he have you down for the count. When the enemy makes you feel this situation will not turn around. Continue to offer up praise, even if its a "little praise". Watch how God will step in and destroy the enemy.

Again, continue to Praise. Put on your worship and praise music; and you will find yourself praising and worshiping The Lord. You will find depression, hopelessness leaving and joy rising up, and a second wind from the Holy Spirit telling you "YOU CAN MAKE IT. DON'T GIVE UP. DON'T THROW IN THE TOWEL. YOU DON'T SEE IT. BUT I AM WORKING IT OUT ON YOUR BEHALF. Don't try to fix it yourself, God has this!! You just praise him!! Decreeing you a prosperous, Bless and Open Doors Week! 6/25/18

Supernatural Favor will spread to those in your Household!

Joseph kindred was made known to Pharaoh. Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred threescore and 15 souls. Acts 7: 9-14

If we study the life of Joseph, we will see that every adversity or situation Joseph was put in he eventually came out victoriously. He was even promoted becoming the second in charge of the entire nation, immediately under the King. Joseph’s famous quote is that “What you meant for harm God turned it around for my good”. Joseph was anointed from childbirth. He knew that God had a special destiny for his life. I believe he anticipated even when in bad situations, that God would get him out of it. When we have supernatural favour or supernatural provision you will be victorious no matter what negative situation you find yourself in. Supernatural is defined as “relating or attributed to phenomena that cannot be explained by natural laws” and “favour” defined as an act of kindness performed or granted out of goodwill. I admit sometimes it takes more than a day for situations to change because there are some things that we must go through. But I implore you to keep on the journey. When you have favour, blessings will just occur; rivers or opportunities that have dried up will just lead you to bigger and better blessings and opportunities. When your finances become scarce God will allow people to come your way just to bless you or to pay that money, they owe you (lol). Some may call that a coincidence, but God say’s Favour. To have supernatural favor and provision means that it has nothing to do with you working for it, but everything to do with God’s ultimate decision to bless you, promote you, provide for you. It’s not something we work for but it’s something that is granted to you by HIS good pleasure. I am delighted to say that the supernatural favor and provision of God has worked in my life for more than 33 years (I’m sure all my life, but what I am aware of 33 years). I can also admit that I have been an active participant with the Kingdom. For more than 33 years I have actively attempted every day to LIVE right, make Godly decisions even when hard. So, if it pleased the king to Bless me, I am blessed even more so. Testimony: I’ve been blessed with opportunities, jobs (not qualified for), blessed with 6 months of free rent, electricity, cable paid for and blessings from individuals placed in

my life that had nothing to do with what I had done. But the Favour and Mercy of God! And yes, when God shows favour on you, your entire family becomes blessed that includes your children, your grandchildren, your parents and cousins! Praying that God would grant you favour on Today!

Evangelist Carleen B. Pope 3/1/17

Be Ye Careful of a Self-Righteous Spirit

Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." "Tell me, teacher," he said. Luke 7:40

Here in this verse of scripture Jesus knowing the inner thoughts of the Pharisees to whom he sat at the table with asked a question to Simon outwardly for all to hear. The same Pharisees whom had witnessed the sinful woman with the alabaster box, whose tears washed Jesus feet, and hair that wiped his feet and whose ointment was poured on His feet were known as a sinner. Why would Jesus, the Son of God allow this sinful woman to touch Him? The thoughts of the Pharisees and maybe the thoughts of us today might say “She" is simply a sinner, a prostitute; But the Lord knowing the inner thoughts of this woman, paid pity on her, was patient with her and forgave her sins. But prior to forgiving her sins, Jesus shares a parable about a creditor that had two debtors; each debtor owing different amounts of money. The parable further stated that when they had nothing else to pay; the Creditor forgave both of them. Jesus asked, "Simon" which one will love the creditor more. Simon shared “I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most”. Sometimes we as Christians, especially those of us that have been Christians along time may fall into a Spirit of Self Righteousness. We have to be careful of this spirit because when we begin to operate in a self-righteous spirit we then operate in a spirit of error. We also can lose intended blessings because of our perceptions. Because what we were expecting did not come in the package that we thought it should come in we toss it aside. Throughout Jesus’s ministry he always spoke of coming to those that were lost. So be careful not to judge those that may yell a little louder than you when saying “Hallelujah” or shout a little passed the music ending. Or those that do not dress like us, it may be because they have no other clothes to wear. Bottom line, we don’t know where God has brought those "so called sinners" from. That sinner that you saw walking into the club last night as you passed on the street, or that drug addict you saw walking or talking to himself yesterday, may be the very person who encountered Jesus the very “night” that you saw them, or maybe it was early morning, or an hour or minute ago. You didn't see them when they poured out their hearts to HIM and wash and anointed Jesus feet with their tears a day, an hour or a minute before church started.

We don’t know, nor should we judge. I can speak to this because I was once that Pharisee that thought I had it ALL together. After all, I had been saved since 15 years old. I hadn’t experienced the world; so I had no patience for the prostitute, the drug addict, the sinner. It was not until Jesus unveiled my eyes and took me from my religious mind set to HIS mindset. I would have missed one of the biggest blessings during one of the worst storms in my life. During the divorce from my first husband, God placed in my life women that did not look like me, or talked like me. They were little white ladies with rhinestone glasses that looked like they stepped off of the channel of TBN. But they were the women that God placed in my life to help mend my brokenness who spoke into my life that I would live and Not Die and that God had a purpose for me. So we need to be careful who we look down on. And for those of us who are broken, I know you feel like you've been dealt a bad hand. Maybe you didn’t come from the best family/pedigree. Maybe you came from a broken home or drug addict parents. Or you feel like how can God Love me, in all of my mess and filth. Because after all I lived a sinful life. You feel like you've done everything in the book and that at many people have witnessed your sin.

Well, do you want to know why Jesus allowed this sinner woman to touch HIS feet? It was because of You and Me. He wanted US to know that I am a God that will change an imperfect heart; he thought about you way back then. Keep pursuing God. He is a God of a 2nd, 3rd, 4th chance! Have A Bless Day! 2/27/17

Overthrowing the Plans of the Enemy

When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him (Satan). Isaiah 59:19 Let simplify... When the enemy shall come and make violent attacks against you and your (health, family, marriage, finances, job, church and country...) Then God himself shall give a remarkable check and visibly "INTERVENE", "INTERRUPT", The enemy on behalf of his Oppressed people, "YOU". By calling together HIS armies, to oppose the enemies'

progress and overthrow Satan's cause."

I Decree today that ever assignment of the enemy against your life is ABORTED, OVERTHROWN on today. And that God will INTERRUPT AND CONFUSE, DESTROY the enemy on your behalf in Jesus Name!

Evangelist Carleen B. Pope

Responding to Your Circumstance

Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel. (Philippians 1:12) Corinthians 6: 1-18 describes events that Paul experienced such as; “We patiently endure troubles and hardships and calamities of every kind. We have been beaten, been put in jail, faced angry mobs, and worked to exhaustion, endured sleepless nights, and gone without food. We have proved ourselves by our purity, our understanding, our patience, our kindness, our sincere love, and the power of the Holy Spirit. We have faithfully preached the truth.

The lesson today is not for us to attempt to avoid or escape the cross. But to understand that how you respond to the Cross, your circumstance both negatively or positively affect the Gospel. If you respond to your circumstance with prayer and faith allowing God to work on your behalf it will show to the world that prayer changes things and that God delivers. If we can get in our mindset that it’s not about us but about the Kingdom, HIS Glory, His Honor we can walk through any circumstance knowing that God is going to get the victory out of this situation.

Personal Testimony: Although not beaten and shipwrecked like Paul. I went through my own trials enduring racism, overlooked for promotions, colleagues taking my hard work, ideas and calling it their own. I had colleagues making up stories because I would not bow to the Spirit of Racism. I was laid off for all most a year, unemployment ran out, nearly exhausted my retirement funds. But during that time the “only response” I gave when asked how I was doing was “I am at peace, I am Bless and that God is going to get the glory out my circumstance”. And He did, absolutely nothing was turned off, I didn’t have to borrow from family, actually very little family knew that I was not working. A week prior to the anniversary of me being laid off God gave me SUPERNATURAL FAVOR. I was hired over the phone after one interview/conversation! (15 minutes). I had no face to face interview just a phone call. The end result is that God got the glory and I believe the Gospel was furthered by people seeing my life of Faith, Perseverance, Patience, Humility and the power of the Holy Spirit. God showed even my enemies who tried to do me harm they couldn’t stop God. We can further the gospel by how we respond to our circumstance. I believe as you go through your circumstance, storm or trial. Whatever you want to call it. After Prayer and Faith. You need some Joy! You need a song. God gave me Deitrick Haddon’s song “He’s Able”. I sung it every day, all doing the day as I fellowshipped with God.

He’s Able lyrics

Exceedingly, Abundantly

Above all, all you could ask or think

According to, the power

That worketh in you,

God is able to do what He saith He will do

He’s gonna fulfill every promise to you

Don’t give up on God, cause He won’t give up on you

He’s able

Have a Blessed Day!

Change Your Prison Clothes

The Lord says today “It’s time to change your prison clothes”. Some of us have been going through lots of adversities. Some of it has been to our own doing and some have not. But the Lord says whatever the case that which seek to hold your bondage (mind, body, spirit, finances, relationships, and career) is no longer. The enemy has tried to imprison your thoughts that there is no hope. He has imprisoned you to believe you will never be healed, never prosper, never get promotion, and never have enough. The enemy has come in the form of supervisors, bosses to make you believe that they are in control of your finances. The Lord says, “Today it stops”. The spiritual bullying stops today! “God says today “I will remove any antagonizer, man, woman, business that try to conform you, hinder you, put you in a box, stop your growth or attempt to spiritually imprison you.” God says again, “they will be removed. The Lord says “Your release will supernaturally happen not in a few months, or years but expect it to happen in a few days! “God will get the Glory out of this!

If we were to study King Jehoiachin’s reign of Judah, you would see he didn’t reign long. It is said that he may have reigned 3 months and a few days prior to King Nebuchadnezzar capturing him. It is told that he was captured at the age of 18 years old and was imprisoned for 37 years because of the sin of Judah, and his father. But what a miraculous surprise now at age 55 years old, He is told he will be released. Although imprisoned for 37 years, God had never forgotten him. King Jehoiachin most likely had fail to recall what it felt like to be king or royalty. He forgot what it meant to wear royal clothing, and to have prepared royal food, and to be in the presence of noble people. The lush lifestyle he once had was a far distant memory, only a dream. I’m sure looking at his situation, he was imprisoned by the same routine, the same clothing that he wore day after day. The imprisoned clothes were a constant reminder of his dismal future. His life as a prisoner had taken his identity, cause him to conform to the norm of prison-hood. He was no longer thought of as a person but downgraded to only a number. Jehoiachin was born to be king, a man of power and authority and yet, because of the sins of his people, he was taken into exile, put in prison, to be forgotten by all. This King born to make decisions now is told when to eat, drink and sleep; made to do manual labor. But it is just like God to show mercy to us even when unworthy. I’m sure King Jehoiachin had lots of time to review his life, the actions of his father and the life of the people. I believed he may have repented for that which was done evil in the sight of God.

After 37 years, God supernaturally release him from prison. God reminds us that he can step into any situation, and within a Planck time (shortest theoretically measurable time), microsecond (one millionth of a second), nanosecond (one billionth of a second) changed your life instantaneously! So Never Give UP! Hang on in their help is on its way. “Change” is about to happen. A transition is about to take place. Old things will be done away, and behold new things are coming! King Nebuchadnezzar, who had imprisoned him was removed, now deceased. The word says that the new Babylon King spoke kindly to King Jehoiachin and had supernatural favor with him and set his throne over the thrones of the other exile kings. It goes on to say that once released, Jehoiachin “changed” his prison clothes! And for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table.

God says where you were a year ago, month ago, where you are now is not where you will be for the rest of your life. It is only for a set time, before I release you of that which sought to bind you. Deuteronomy 28:7 says “The Lord will cause the enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you. They will march out against you in one direction but free from you in seven.
The Lord says, “I will show supernatural favor, kindness to you and where I am taking you, the old garments, mindset, cannot be taken there.” God says “today get rid of the imprisoned thoughts, and behaviors that does not represent me. Change your mindset, begin to take your rightful place as Sons and Daughters at the Kings table. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Say Today “I’m Release. No chains holding me. Today I change my imprisoned garments for my royal garments. Taking my rightful place at the kings Table for the Rest of my of My Life!” Everything I need is for my asking. Again, I’m no longer bound, I’m Free in Jesus Name!
