!!!PRAYER CALL!!!

Hello friends!  I'm so thrilled to announce that 'My Predestined One' will be having our very FIRST (surely not our last) prayer call for women and couples diagnosed with infertility and those women and couples who currently has a premature baby(ies)that need covering in prayer.   The Holy Spirit impressed upon my heart to begin a weekly prayer call for these two communities last year, so I'm being obedient!   I, myself, was diagnosed with PCOS, and struggled to conceive my former 25 weeker (now 3 year old) via FET (Frozen embryo transfer) in June 2012.  He was born at 25 weeks due to my incompetent cervix, bulging water bag, and 4 cm dilation.  Prior to conceiving my miracle of a son, I suffered two ectopic miscarriages.  So, I know first hand what it's like to desire motherhood so bad, to conceive and then have it taken from you.  I know first hand how after you've struggled for so long to conceive only to have that little one be born well before it was time.  You're so afraid and scared, and feeling so many other million emotions while your baby is fighting for their lives in the NICU.  You don't know what's going to happen with their health from one day to the next.  I remember.  I also recall during both of these journeys not having anyone that I could confide in, or any kind of spiritual support outside of my husband and some close friends, and relatives.  I had no one constantly pouring into my spirit and encouraging me to not give up, seek God, trust Him, have faith, etc.  

I know that's why God tugged at my heart on creating this prayer call for these two communities.  He wants His daughters to know that He's there, and to cast ALL  of your fears onto Him while you're TTC'ing, or while you're in the NICU with your preemie.  He wants us to look to Him for strength, comfort, peace, joy, hope, patience, and understanding during these difficult and uncertain times in our lives.  Because, how many of you know that the devil desires to steal our joy, peace, and hope leaving us hopeless, faithless, fearful, stressed, impatient along with every other emotion contrary to what God desires for us.  Thus, I'm going to walk in obedience to God, and do what He's instructed me to do.  I'm going to make Him famous, and allow Him to use me to redirect our spirit, soul, mind, and bodies back to him.  


Hence, join 'My Predestined One' every Thursday beginning February 4, 2016 at 12 PM for prayer as we cover our fertility & premature babies  in prayer to God, and watch Him perform miracles! Let's go to war in prayer over our predestined ones!

"I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”
Matthew 18:19-20 NLT



I love you all!
Your predestined one is on the way!

Consolation for Moments When You Have No Words to Pray

Romans 8:28The Message (MSG)

26-28 Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

Good Day!  Are you feeling that you have no words to pray, or don't know what to pray sometimes during this journey of TTC'ing, or having a baby in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit).  I totally understand, because I've been there as well.  As a matter of fact, before this new year I was in a place of feeling like I wanted to pray, but couldn't because I felt so discouraged.  I felt like God had forgotten about me, and wouldn't allow me to have our second child naturally as He's promised me.  I was just silent most days.  I would have thoughts of prayer, but barely anything would come out of my mouth.  My spirit knew what I was feeling, and trying to convey to God, but my mouth just couldn't form the words.  So, most days I would cry.  All I could say during those moments was "God I trust you."  Nothing more; nothing less.  Even though I was struggling to trust Him, I still had to, for my own sake, remind myself to trust Him by saying this aloud!  My fertility and preemie mom sisters: I know all too well what you're going through emotionally, and if you're a believer how some days it's easier to pray than others.  

My encouragement today is just simply this: when you're at a place and moment in your TTC journey, or NICU journey where you're feeling tired and no longer have strength to pray, or a desire to-just know that the Holy Spirit goes to God concerning you.  He knows ALL that you cannot put into words, and presents it to our Father.  There will be days when you feel that you're tired of praying, and can no longer utter a word to pray because you just don't know for what to pray. You don't even know what you truly feel at the moment. During those moments, sit quietly before Him, and say nothing.  Just sit and listen.  He'll whisper to your troubled heart what you need to hear.  But rest at His feet, listen, and allow the Holy Spirit to intercede to the Father on your behalf.  Romans 8:26-28 MSG, tells us that the Holy Spirit does our praying IN and FOR us-making prayers out of our aching groans, and knows our pregnant condition.  "Pregnant condition" means something different in the natural and spiritual.  From a natural perspective it is whatever you're currently dealing with as it relates to your fertility: unexplained infertility, secondary infertility, miscarriage, low ovarian reserve, PCOS.  From a spiritual perspective it is where we are spiritually-spiritually barren, and unfruitful, or hurting.

Therefore, take comfort in knowing that the Holy Spirit will keep us present before God during our prayer less times. Be sure and confident that every detail of our lives, including TTC struggles and prematurity of birth struggles, comes as no surprise to Him.  He will work all of what you're going through out for your good, although you may not see how during this difficult time. Just trust your Daddy (heavenly Father).  He cares, knows, and is working on your situation.  Sisters, don't believer the lie from the enemy (satan) that says, "God doesn't care," "God is punishing me."  That's so far from His nature, and the truth of who He is!  He's a God that says, "Be fruitful, and multiply," "I give the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother," that's what God is saying about you.  

I love you all!
I'm praying for you!

What I’ve Learned from Hannah’s Story

I recently read Hannah’s story in 1 Samuel chapters 1 and 2, and God revealed to me that I don’t need more faith, but a STRONGER faith in Him. Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) states that “faith is the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”  And, I must admit, at times I’m not so confident in God’s ability to completely heal me of infertility, and be able to conceive my second predestined miracle (baby) naturally. In true transparency- I have moments where my faith is weaken by things that I see, and experience in the natural.  So, I have to be intentional about feeding and strengthening my faith with the word of God; hence, my most recent reading of Hannah’s story.  You see, Hannah was one of the two wives to Elkanah.  He also had a wife named Peninnah.  Peninnah had children with Elkanah, while Hannah was childless.  Penninah would provoke Hannah to tears.  In other words, she would anger and negatively stir up Hannah’s emotions because she was infertile/barren.  Peninnah would constantly remind Hannah of what her body couldn’t do and of her childlessness, because she had children. 

Don’t we too experience this same thing in our lives?  We’re trying to believe God for healing, to conceive, for a healthy baby to be discharged and brought home from the NICU, but Peninnah, “aka”: infertility, pcos, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, prematurity etcetera, is staring us in our face and constantly reminding us of our condition, our diagnosis, and our situation.  However, during those times we have to be like Hannah.  She went to God; to be in His presence, and prayed.  She talked to God about her deepest longing for a child, specifically a son.  She was in great anguish-distress, grief, heartache, and sorrow.  Hannah was heartbroken because she was in a low place spiritually and naturally-spiritually because she felt God had forgotten about her, and naturally because during that time to not be a mother was frowned upon.  So, Hannah went to the temple and sat at the feet of God, and prayed.  She poured her soul out to God in prayer.  She prayed to God in FAITH, and asked Him for not just a child, but a son who she would vow to give back to Him to be His servant.  1 Samuel 1: 11 says, “she made a vow: “O Lord of hosts, if only you will look on the misery of your servant, and remember me, and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a male child, then I will set him before you as a nazirite until the day of his death.  He shall not drink neither wine nor intoxicants, and no razor shall touch his head.”

After praying silently and crying out to God, Hannah got up, ate food with her husband Elkanah, and was no longer sad.  I’m sure that at this point, Hannah felt lighter, confident, and reassured in her spirit and in the God that she poured out to in prayer.  Sisters, she was no longer sad because she made an exchange.  She exchanged her hopelessness, sadness, shame, anger, hurt, and barrenness for FAITH!  She made a decision to leave it all at the feet of God, and let her faith rise.  She believed what she prayed for would come to pass-she would have a male child.  She was just that confident in God, thus in my mind silencing Peninnah’s voice that had been in her ear torturing her all those years.  Fertility sisters, we have to do the same.  We have to take our broken hearts and spirits, present them to God in prayer, and have faith that he’s going to bless our womb with our predestined one (baby)!  Preemie sisters, we have to go to Him in prayer about your preemie’s condition while in the NICU and beyond.  Pour out to Him your fears, worries, needs, doubts, and then let Him fill you with strength and faith like only He can give. We have to silence the Peninnah (pessimistic voice of infertility and prematurity).  Hannah prayed, (1 Samuel chapter 2), and during her prayer it was as if she was reminding herself of who her great God was, as stated in 1 Samuel 2:2- “ there is no Holy One like the Lord, no one beside you, there is no Rock like our God.”  She prayed a prayer that reminded herself of God’s nature, and who He truly is.  We have to do the same by going to Him, and praying in such a way that reminds our spirit of who God is…that reminds our spirit of what He’s already done in our lives!

Needless to say, God answered Hannah’s prayer (1 Samuel 1: 27-28).  She had a son and named him Samuel meaning “asked or heard of God.” She gave him back to God as she’d vowed.  And get THIS, not only did she have Samuel, but she went on to later have 3 more sons, and 2 daughters!  God is such a God of abundant blessings! He gave her more children; more than what she asked for, or even expected. 

So, here’s my question for us:

Infertility and prematurity of birth is our Peninnah that’s angering us, and reminding us of what we don’t have and telling us that we won’t be a mother, or that our baby won’t make it home from the NICU.  How will you silence that pessimistic voice of Penninah?  How will you silence her?

I’ll tell you: FAITH, AND PRAYER!!!

Hannah went to war and fought through prayer and had faith that her prayers were not only heard, but that God would answer.  She walked away with so much faith that she finished her praying, and went to get something to eat.  If that doesn’t show confidence in God! She was unbothered at that point!

Therefore, here is my takeaway from Hannah’s story:

1)      Don’t listen to the voice of pessimistic Peninnah (infertility/ prematurity)! It may try to provoke you, depress you, make you bitter, and angry, but DON’T listen.

2)      Do like Hannah and cry out to God! Pour out our soul (mind, will, & emotions) to Him.  Remind yourself of who God is during your prayer time.

3)      Believe and have faith that what you are praying and asking for He’ll do!

4)      After praying, no longer be sad, but be GODFIDENT (God confident)!

5)      Repeat as needed!

I love you all!

I’m praying for you!

My Prayer of Declaration Over Infertility

Hello sisters! I felt strongly in my spirit that I needed to share my prayer of declaration with you ladies.  If you're currently following me on periscope (@TiffanyFinley go follow if your aren't already for live encouragement daily!), I shared in the month of September that I was going to write my very own personal prayer over infertility, and declare that my PREDESTINED ONE is on way. I also encouraged my sisters that were believing God for healing, and the gift of motherhood to write their prayers of declaration as well, and to read it and say it a least 2-3 times daily until it began to rest and germinate in their spirits. 

So, if the concept of a prayer of declaration is new to you let me explain what it is:

"Decrees and declarations are POWERFUL prayers to manifest heaven on earth (creationswap.com).

The word declare comes for Hebrew achvah, meaning "to make know" or "to set forth an accounting." (Charismamag.com)  

Declarations are when we use our mouths to speak what God has already spoken,and given to us, i.e healing, motherhood, salvation, and eternal life. 

"Decrees are a tool by which we cause the truths of the heavenly realm to be manifest into the natural realm, so they become reality." (Charismamag.com) 

The English definition of decree is "a statement of truth that carries the authority of a court order."  In the spiritual realm when we decree God's provision and blessings over our lives, then anything purposed against our provision and blessing can have no further say in the matter." (Charismamag.com)

Therefore, we need to decree the word of God, and declare our gift of motherhood through our prayers.  When we do this we speak scriptures that decree healing over ourselves and our preemies, and declare becoming a mother and a healthy baby.  We cause the truths of the heavenly realm to be manifest into the natural realm.  

Here's my very own declaration.  I pray that it helps you create one for yourself, so that you can begin declaring and decreeing what God has already said about your fertility, your becoming a mother, your healing, and your preemie's healing:

My Prayer of Declaration Over Infertility

God,

I thank you for being the creator and giver of life. I thank you for being a God that opens and closes my womb.  Lord, I thank you that I don’t have to worry about my fertility and becoming a mother because I can pray instead, about all things, including motherhood.  I thank you that when I pray about this situation I will experience your peace that will guard my heart and mind (Philippians 4:6-7).  You will keep me in perfect peace as I trust you, and keep my thoughts and mind fixed on you (Isaiah 26:3).  God, I thank you for leaving me the gift of peace of mind and heart.  Your peace is a gift the world cannot give me.  So, I will not be troubled or afraid (John 14:27).  Lord, I also thank you for giving every childless, barren woman a family, making her a happy mother.  So, I thank you in advance for making me fruitful, fertile, and healing my womb; giving me a family (Psalms 113:9). 

Your word says in Hebrews 11:11 that it was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old.  She believed that God would keep his promise.  So God I come putting my faith in you to conceive a child, although I’ve been diagnosed with infertility.   I believe just like Sarah that you will keep your promise.  And, just as the angel told Zechariah, “Don’t be afraid!” I will not be afraid Lord because I know you have heard my prayer just as you heard Zechariah’s prayer for his wife Elizabeth.  I thank you in advance for the great joy and gladness, and how I will rejoice at my baby girl’s birth (Luke 1:13-14)! Lord, therefore, I will not fear bad news; I will confidently trust you to care for me (Psalms 112:7).  Lord, I thank you that your word says to don’t be afraid, for you are with me. It says don’t be discouraged, for you are my God.  You will strengthen me and help me.  You will hold me up with your victorious right hand (Isaiah 41:10). So, God I will not walk in fear, worry, or doubt, but I will trust you lord.  I will not be afraid!

Father God, just as Hannah stood praying to you, and asked you to give her a baby boy. You granted her request and she gave him back to you Lord, and her baby boy belonged to you his whole life (1 Samuel 1:26-28), I too am praying and asking you to give me my baby girl.  I believe that you will, and I give her back to you; even now, before she’s been conceived. 

Lord, I serve you: the One and ONLY God.  I thank you for your provision over my life, and protecting me from illness.  Your word says that there will be no miscarriages or infertility, and you will give me a long, full life (Exodus 23:25-26).  So, I speak life to come forth into my womb in Jesus name.  I bind up, and rebuke the spirit of infertility, and command it to leave my body in Jesus name!  Daddy, I thank you that I am going to be healed, fruitful, and conceive! In Jesus mighty name!

Amen!

Now, fertility sisters, go begin speaking life over your womb and healing in your body!  Preemie sisters, go begin speaking life over your preemie.  Then, watch God begins to move, heal, and manifest your predestined one!  God desires to give you the gift of motherhood, and he desires that your gift is whole, healthy, and complete.  Trust Him not to do the possible, but to do the IMPOSSIBLE in your life!

I love all of you!

I am praying for you!

Preparation During the Wait

Like me, you may be currently TTC’ing, or maybe you’re currently in the NICU with your premature child.  Either case, you’re dealing with something that’s beyond your control, especially during a diagnosis of infertility, or battling against prematurity and fighting for your child’s life.  A diagnosis of infertility makes you feel that you’ll never become a mother.  Having a premature child makes you feel that you possibly did something wrong to cause your child to be born prematurely.  I know I felt that way, among other things that I felt during my son’s time spent in the NICU.  But, I want to encourage by reminding us of God’s promise in Isaiah 41:10 “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.  Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you.  I will hold you up with my victorious right hand (NLT).” Let me remind you of another one of God’s promises.  Luke 1:13-14 (NLT), “But the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer.  Your wife, Elizabeth will give you a son, and you are to name him John.  You will have great joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.”   Both of these passages start by telling us DO NOT BE AFRAID!  In Isaiah God says do not be afraid because I’m with you.  In Luke He says do not be afraid because I’ve heard your prayer.  If God tells us to not be afraid because He is with us, and He’s heard our prayer we should take Him at His word, literally!  Even when our natural experiences while having a sick baby, or wanting to become a mother makes us feel fearful, God says DO NOT BE AFRAID.  Preemie mother, He will give you strength; He will hold your sick baby and you up with His victorious right hand!  Woman battling a diagnosis of infertility, he has heard your prayer for a baby, and just like Zechariah and Elizabeth you will be able to rejoice at his/her birth.  But first, God requires that you believe Him…trust Him…and have faith in Him.  It is when you and I completely have faith in His ability to heal ANY sickness, diagnosis and open our womb to conceive that He can truly manifest His glory.  I am a living testament to this.  I recently learned that He’s completely healed my right fallopian tube that was diagnosed as severely scarred 3 years ago.  The RE told my husband after an emergency laparoscopy that we’d never be able to conceive naturally because my left fallopian tube was blocked, and my right was scarred; therefore, being unable to get the fertilized egg to my uterus.  Now, 3 years later after MUCH prayer and faith God has healed and COMPLETELY opened my right tube, and I believe Him to do the same for the left. So, give God your faith regardless of what it appears to look like in the natural!

Having said all of that, now that you know how important it is to believe Him…trust Him, and have faith in Him, you should now be getting prepared.  Prepared for what you may ask.  You should be preparing for the homecoming of your preemie, because he/she WILL be coming home!  You should be preparing for your predestined one (baby) because he/she IS on the way!  Faith believes that God will do what we can’t see with our eyes naturally.  It’s knowing that God will heal your baby, and that He will completely heal you of infertility, and he will give you your predestined one (baby)!  So, get that nursery designed and completed, go buy an outfit or two to put your faith into action!  This is a time of preparation during the wait.

How to prepare while you wait for your baby to be discharged home to the NICU:

1.       Keep praying for your son/daughter’s healing.

2.       Meditate on the word of God to keep your faith strengthen.

3.       Buy clothes for them to wear once he/she is home. 

4.       Design, decorate and prepare their nursery.

5.       Plan and organize a baby shower (if you haven’t had one already).

6.       Make any necessary adjustment to finances.

7.       Get rest.

How to prepare while you wait on your BFP (Big Fat Positive) confirming pregnancy:

1.Keep praying for your healing against infertility (if that’s your desire), and for God to open your womb. (Lay hands on your lower abdomen).

2. Meditate on the word of God to keep your faith strengthen.

3.  Buy a onesie/article of clothing for your predestined one (baby).

4.       Design, decorate and prepare their nursery.

5.       Pick a name, and pray daily for the baby that’s on the way as if they are already here.

6.       Make any necessary adjustment to finances.

7.       Choose healthier food choices.

8.       Drink more water

9.       Exercise at least 3x/week.

The above mentioned are just a few things that we can do in faith.  If you feel led to do something else that’s not on the list, go for it!  The point of this is to put our faith to action while believing God’s promises.  We have to see it, before we see it! 

Let’s keep one another lifted in prayer.  I’m praying with you and for you, and know that NOTHING is impossible for God!

God is GREATER THAN prematurity or infertility!

Ready and Fearful

There are many women and loved ones in my life right now that I know are currently pregnant.  They’re right now expecting their predestined ones (baby) after experiencing a loss of some sort at one time or another in their life, such as miscarriage, stillbirth, death after giving birth for whatever reason, ectopic, blighted ovum’s, and the list goes on- many after desperately waiting on their BFP (Big Fat Positive).  I also currently know women who are fighting infertility; longing in their hearts for healing, and to become a mother, or conceive another child.  And, I currently know women who have given birth prematurely due to circumstances beyond their control, and are praying and fighting to overcome the premature birth of their infants.  I too am each of these women.  So, I know all too well some of the emotions associated with each of these experiences.  Some of the women in my life have personally shared with me how they’re afraid…ready to give life and become a mother, but still afraid of what lies ahead.  Some of you, like myself, are trusting God for healing in your reproductive system, and your baby that you’ve prayed for, but you’re still afraid of not ever conceiving, adopting, or finding a surrogate.  In whatever way you believe God to bless you with your baby, you’re STILL afraid.  Some are afraid of their babies never leaving that NICU incubator.  You’re afraid that your baby will lose their battle, because of what you see before you with your natural eyes, and heard with your natural ears.  You’re just afraid…we’re just afraid!

I know and understand that war of being ready and afraid at the same time. You’re ready for healing, pregnancy, your preemie to discharge from the NICU and FINALLY be home with you, but still paralyzed with fear, worry, and doubt.  You can’t FULLY enjoy your pregnancy because you’re afraid of miscarrying again, not hearing a heartbeat again, stillbirth again, ectopic pregnancy again, setbacks due to prematurity again, failed adoption again, not being able to conceive again.  You’re just paralyzed by this all consuming fear, worry, and doubt; although, you’ve been praying.  You want so badly to not be afraid or fearful and to rejoice, and be happy about your prayers being answered to conceive, answered to be healed, answered to have your baby out of the NICU and home, but paralyzed by the unknown. 

Sisters, I understand your fears, worry, and doubt and so does our Father in heaven.  He intimately knows every minute, second, hour, and day we have experienced (good and bad), and every minute, second, hour and day that is yet to be experienced.  I know at times it’s difficult to have faith that all will work out, and all will be well when we’ve gone through so many painful experiences.  Our experiences sometimes replace the faith we should be holding on to.  But, you have to know that the best way to fight your pregnancy fears, adoption fears, healing fears; fertility fears…any fear is with the WORD; thus, developing and strengthening your faith. 

You see, we shouldn’t be daughters of God walking around afraid of what he’s promised us, and paralyzed by fear, worry, and doubt.  Jesus wants you and I to not be afraid, and to just have faith (Mark 5:36 NLT). When we allow faith to rest in our hearts and minds, fear and worry has no place to reside. When we become intentional about praying more, making our request and telling God what we need.  His peace will overflow in our lives internally and externally (Phil. 4:6-7 NLT). Also, speak and pray the word of God over the situation that you believe God to change.  What better way to fight your fears, than to do so by using the word.  Additionally, write your own prayer of declaration over the predestined one (baby) that you’re carrying in your womb, your baby that’s waiting to be adopted, or reproductive health.  Whatever you trust God for; write your own prayer of declaration over it. 

Here are a few scriptures that God gave me to share with you to help you fight fear of pregnancy, fertility, healing, adoption, and prematurity.  It is my prayer that you would meditate on them, and pray them over your situation.  I pray that you will begin to understand the power that lies in the word of God.  I pray that being afraid, and that fear that you have will dissipate.  I pray that your faith will be strengthened and will rise up, so that you can walk in peace, joy, love, and freedom, while rejoicing in His goodness and faithfulness.  Trust Him.  No matter what you’ve gone through in your past, what you will go through in your present, or future you can trust Him, and walk in peace. 

Scriptures to Fight Fear During Pregnancy, and When Trying to Become a Mother:

Philippians 4:6-7        Psalms 112:7

Isaiah 26:3                  John 14:27

Psalms 113:9             Exodus 23:25-25

Hebrews 11:11           1 Samuel 1:27

Luke 1:13-14              Isaiah 41:10

Are you pregnant with your predestined one (baby)? Are you just beginning the adoption process, or in the finalization of your adoption process? Are you TTC (Trying to Conceive)?  Are you currently in the NICU with your preemie? Let me know, so that I can be praying for you.  Or, if you have a friend, or family member that needs prayer, please let me know.  I would love to pray for them as well.  Send your prayer request to Tiffanfin@gmail.com.  You’re my sisters, and we’re in this together.  You are not alone! 

Yours in Christ,

Tiffany

" Why? God I Blame You!"

I shared some encouragement about prayer and faith this afternoon with some ladies in a groupme chat.  After reading what I’d shared, it dawned on me that I needed to share this with my fertility and preemie mom sisters:

I just want us to encourage each other to NEVER stop praying, b/c sometimes it's easier to complain and try to take matters into our own hands, instead of talking to God about them, and trusting Him to help and do what needs to be done. I just have a quick testimony about praying: I was diagnosed with pcos in May '07(irregular periods, anovulatory cycles) and was told that I would need progesterone to induce periods. So, up until January this year I would go sometimes 4 or 5 months before having a cycle.  But this year I made up in my mind that I was going to REALLY pray and trust God to heal my reproductive organs. Our church had a prayer & healing conference this past January, and the minister prayed over me and a few other women for healing in our reproductive health. I kid you not, that following week I had a cycle, and have continued to have cycles regularly since. I prayed and believed God for healing before the conference, and He healed! And, they're not anovulatory cycles either b/c I can feel the change in my body during ovulation time. So, I just wanted to share with y'all that testimony, and encourage all of you to NEVER stop praying and believing. They go hand and hand. Prayer and faith moves God- NOT our fears, worries, complaints, and disappointments. It's ok to share those emotions with God, but after sharing those emotions don't forget to share with Him the most important thing of all...your FAITH! Don't just share your struggles and frustrations, and disappointments, but never give Him your faith. He needs to know that we TRUST Him as our spiritual Father. We're His daughters and he'll withhold NO good thing from us! So, keep praying and believing! Our flesh doesn't want to pray and believe, but kill that lower nature (flesh) and pray and believe anyway. Don't allow the enemy to keep your mouth shut! Open it and pray, and believe!

Even after sharing this with the ladies in the chat, God impressed upon my heart to share this in my blog.  Therefore, I’m sharing in hopes of it encouraging you, and changing your perspective about prayer, and faith, especially as it pertains to fertility, conceiving, caring for a preemie, and not understanding why it’s happening to you.  But, remember even in the midst of our lack of understanding God knows His plans for our lives (Jeremiah 29:11), and he will answer our prayers.  I recall stating earlier this year that 2015 will be a year of supernatural possibilities, and I still profess that! God has already moved in my health this year, and I’m anticipating Him doing more supernatural things in my life.  Sisters, keep praying and believing.  As stated before, don’t allow your sorrows, worry, fear, frustrations, anger, guilt, or whatever else to separate you from God’s love.  Furthermore, don’t allow those emotions to cause you to blame God for what has happened in your life – job loss, pregnancy loss, infertility, death of a loved one, etc.  The enemy would LOVE to have you all in your feelings, resenting God, turning your back on Him, blaming Him, and not praying, believing, or professing the Word over your life.  Satan will have you so wrapped up in your negative emotions that you’ll feel justified in blaming God, and resenting Him.  But you and I must remember that God is a God that cares, consoles, encourages, and loves.  He’s not in the business of intentionally causing us pain, harm, or grief; For He does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone (Lamentations 3:33 NIV). 

So, don’t allow Satan to have you angry with God.  Talk to God, and tell Him what you’re feeling…anger, disappointment, and sadness about losing what was so dear to you.  Journal about it if you must, but don’t leave God! Satan will use those emotions to create separation between you and the Father.  Don’t turn your back on the one who loves you.  Cling to Him, and your faith in His supernatural power!  Sisters, I’m continuing to keep you lifted before God in prayer; that your reproductive system will be healed, and that God will open your womb to conceive.  I also believe that God will heal every preemie baby that’s ill right now.  I declare and decree by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ that their health status will improve.  This is the year of supernatural possibilities, amen! And, lastly don’t be ashamed of your story.  There’s no shame in telling your story to encourage others, and glorify God! 

Peace & Blessings,
