Now I Can Breathe Again

Now that our church anniversary is over, I feel like I can breathe again. The church anniversary was a wonderful time of blessing and refreshing. Each year it seems to take more and more out of me. this year I was a bit depressed, one because being in full-time ministry I am not able to go shopping like I would like to do in these special times. Also, we always have a financial obligation to handle for the church. Now if I had the money it would not be a major source of stress for me but I don't ever have to money. However, this year, I thought it would be easier for me because i had streams of income that was suppose to come in in time for me to handle this gift to the church. However, at the last minute it all fell a part. the money I thought I would have never showed up.

So of course, I was stressed trying to trust God to do what I have heard he does for others in my situation. Now I had other obligations to do, my mother brought the robe I had to order and I stepped out on faith to order the cincture and put 20.00 on it. But when the day came to pick it up I did not have the rest of the money to pay for it, so I went to the store and asked the owner if I could borrow it for the event I needed it for and would return it. He moved by God just said I will trust you and when you get the money bring it to me. God showed me that he can work in mysterious ways but still I did not get the money to pay the anniversary gift. Now the anniversary has come and gone and I could be asked any day now if i paid it. I will have to tell the truth but I keep hoping that God will come through for me.

So this leads to what is on my heart...This may sound a bit backwards but it is where I am at and I told God that I can not fake before him and he already knows this. I know the scriptures... I know that God can supply my need according to his riches in glory and through Christ I can do all things. I know that He owns a cattle on a thousand hill and the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just. I know all this but do i really believe it. every time I have to trust God for the impossible in my finances, I tend to have very little faith. I tend to think that I don't deserve God to do it for me because in actuality, he has done it but not like he has done it for others. For example a  friend of mine got blessed with 225.00, it just appeared in her purse. Another friend  got 100.00 given to her so she could get her robe, another friend got money to help her. I know God had my mother help me with my robe. But I guess my question is, I been asking god for months now for the money to give the anniversary gift. However, I am still in need.

then there is the balance on my cincture, I guess my question in all this is God will you do it for me like you have done it for so many others. What's the difference between my faith and their faith. I know you are not a respecter of persons; so what you do for one you are bound to do for the other. I know that I can rest on that. So as I said I can breathe again and rest in knowing that God is sovereign and he will do what he wants to do, how he wants to do it and when he wants to do it. Now I am trying to learn his timing is not my timing and the things we worry about don't make him nervous. BREATHE!

You're Just Plain Rude

I am so tired of hearing people say, "I just keep it 100" or "I just keep it real" but what they are actually doing is just being plain rude. How do I know, because I have been and many times am guilty of it myself. We think if we just put that label on it that it means we can say what we want and how we want with no consequence but we put it off on the other person. We tell them to stop being so sensitive or even worse they just cant handle to truth. However, does not the Bible say do everything in love. So let me ask you something, if I love you and I cant find a way to tell you the truth in a manner that you can receive, do I really love you?

See, I would like to say people just cant handle the truth but the fact that is screaming in my head is the one that cant adapt is the one that cant handle the truth. Even Jesus did not treat every one the same way. I mean with the Pharisees, Sadducee and the scribes he was one way but the lady caught in adultery he was another way. Yes, Jesus said some raw things but notice his demeanor when saying these things. Look, I will always keep it 100 and be real, however, I don't have to leave dead bodies behind me. I don't have to wound everyone because I want to tell the truth and shame the devil.

There will come times when I will need to spit it out and it may be bitter to the one receiving but I need to do that when the Lord leads me to do such. I mean really, my mom would lay the law down and she spared not my feelings when it was needed to make me better and even though it hurt at the moment, looking back I know she did the right thing. There was even times when my Bishop has said something that made me say..."WHOA Nellie, that was harsh",  But in the end, it was needed and helped me get it right. I was not wounded fatally.

So now let me ask you something, that last email you sent reaming someone for not doing something or complaining about this or that...was it said in love? Was it sad in frustration, in the flesh, out of anger? Be real with yourself now, if you had of counted to ten before pushing send  or walked away from your computer for an hour or two would you have said the same thing in the same way? Okay maybe yours was done in person... so had you thought before opening your mouth to respond would you have said the same thing, had you ask for time to reflect would you have escalated the situation? It sounds trite and silly but just really think about it.

The Bible says that the tongue can set a forest on fire...Have you ever really thought about that. It's time we stop thinking we are the ones being misunderstood. In reality we are the ones causing the confusion. Think before you speak. That way you will keep it 100 and no one will accuse you of being fake and phony. Trust and believe. AND I ask that you keep me on the straight and narrow also.

What's on my heart

Tonight, (April 10, 2011) I am excited and overwhelmed by the love God has for me. I am empowered by the words I have received in the past month about wading through the storms and coming into my season. Even the rebuke and reproof I received just this past week about not trusting God enough to walk in full calling, was welcomed and received with a grateful heart. Man did I just say that I was happy to get a spanking from God. Whew, I have grown up somewhat I think. Not that it felt good but I knew God loved me enough to say, "Hey Linda, I am with you just trust me and step out. Stop looking for man to give you the approval to do my will. Trust me that I will make a way for you. Your gift has made room for you." So see, even though it was a stiff kick in the behind it was to let me know that I don't have to second guess what the Lord has told me in the quiet times, in my solitude of prayer.

I am truly grateful for the relationship that I have with God. I remember a time that it was hard for me to understand "WHY" God had selected me. I felt unworthy and useless. I had to come to the realization that I am worthy through His blood and the deeds that He did on Calvary it has nothing to do with me. It has everything to do with Him. So now here's the my real reason for writing tonight.

I recently heard Prophet Brian Carn say that when a real prophet comes into your life and brings a word, it does not mean everything is going to get better but you can expect all matters of testing to occur. I am no stranger to trials, tests and tribulation. My concern is I have been fighting and that has not stopped. So now on the brink of my victory, I have to gird up for more fighting. Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a fighter by nature and I will not let go or stop until one of us (my spiritual enemy) is dead. I can say with all the strength left in me, that I don't intend to be the one dying in this battle. So I am fighting literally for my life. I am fighting for my sanity, I am fighting for every promises God has ever made me.

What does this have to do with you. Well, I am glad you asked that. I need prayer warriors to pray and fast for me. I need those that support me to bombard heaven in my stead. SURE...I will pray and fast and seek God too, but I need your help. The ministry God has birthed in me, needs to break-forth like never before. There are souls weighing in the balance waiting for W.H.O.L.E. Ministries and Living Above Hurt Ministries. Waiting to hear my testimony and see how God has redeemed me.

I knew when starting this journey in 2007, that it would not be easy, that this road would be long and at times lonely, nonetheless, I would have to walk. I am willing to stay my course, however, I need you to support me in prayer. I need you to support me in deeds. I need you to support me by getting in the foxhole with me and fighting along side me. I know that God has picked some to journey with me in this season....I need you to heed to the master's call and take your place.

Love you all with the Love of Christ.

In His Service,
Evangelist Linda Hillman

"A Good Thing" Women's Bible Study - The Extraodinary Women Bible Study - Starting April 7, 2011

A sisterhood that will only grow stronger.
ATTENTION - ATTENTION
****BREAKING NEWS****

Ladies of the greater Stockton, CA area.... It's time that we understand God's plan for our lives. Whether you are a single woman, married, have kids or have no kids, professional or homemaker, raised in church or never been to a church. If you have issues, we have answers...if you are looking for true meaning in life...we have answers. Searching for purpose, want to change your relationship, get a raised or promotion, get a mate, learn more about WHO you are and WHY you are here on earth. Whatever, your story may be, This bible study will help you overcome fear, worry and doubt. No more low-self esteem, no more waiting for the right time. It's time for you to move now.

"A Good Thing" women's Bible Study will meet for the first session on March 31, 2011. On April 7, 2011 we will start "The Extraordinary Women" Bible Study. Don't worry you don't have to attend any church in particular to be a part of this study. If you are a women wanting to become what you are created and destined to become and have a sense of belonging to a sisterhood of women that care about you excelling. This is the bible study for you. Come learn and grow in every area of your life.

Mother, daughter, sister, minister, pastor, prophetess, church member, and etc.. Consider this your time of refreshing. If you are from a different state or would like to participate in the bible study through tele-conference or webcam, let me know. We can set this up for you.

The name of this Bible Study group came from Proverbs 18:22, which states:
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
What came to me is that we all want to be found, but are we the good thing when we are found. Better yet, those that have been found, are you a good thing. Well, Sisters, let me say this if you are not feeling good about WHO you are in Christ, then you are not allowing your spouse or potential spouse to experience the true favor that is his because he has you. WOW!! Just think about it.  I love that the scripture does not just say He but whoso. What this means to me. That anyone that happens to come in contact with me...even as i wait for my mate. Any one that comes in contact with me can find favor because I am operating in my role as wife. meaning that as a single woman, I know that I am someone's future wife. So i act accordingly. As a married woman, I do not bring shame to the man that has chosen me. I operate as a Proverbs 31 woman at all times.

I think we miss this sometimes because we are ashamed of what we had to survive, or the failures we have experienced. BUT now is the time to shine. So Arise Women, take your rightful place in Christ. Let the truth wash over you and start afresh! You are a good thing. More of this study will be taught on March 31, 2011. Don't miss out.
