To all the Ladies who sacrifice their lives on behalf of others.
To those Women who tirelessly give of their time, their life, their love.
For every runny nose,
For every injury,
For every broken Heart,
For every tear cried!
You are to be celebrated!
You are to be Appreciated!
You are to be Loved!
For the Mothers, the Grandmothers, the Step-Mothers, the GodMothers, the Surrogate Mothers, the Adoptive Mothers, the Unexpected Mothers!
To all the Mothers of the World, especially My Precious Mother
Mary Brown,
Happy Mother’s Day!
Lord, Today I thank you for my mother!
Thank you for her support and encouragement!
Thank you for her unwavering and unconditional love for me.
Even when we do not see eye to eye, I thank you that we are able to find a common ground upon which to stand.
She is my mentor, my hero, my confidant, and my friend.
Bless us to continue to grow as our seasons change.
I thank you for her life!
Father, I also pray for those who are without their mothers on today! Whether to death or absence due to unforeseen circumstances, my prayer is for the healing of their hearts. Remove the grief that strickens their soul. Bless those brave women who have taken on the responsibility for those individuals and for those children without their mothers. Renew these women with strength and give them the resolve to stay in their position. Help is on the way!
For those children that do not have a relationship with their mother, I pray that you help them to mend the broken bridge that separates them from their mother. Whatever the situation, give them the ability to move passed their emotions. Help them find a path that will bring about forgiveness and reconciliation. Enable them to divorce their past and build a stronger future together.
Finally Father, I pray for the new/young mothers, soon-to-be mothers and want-to-be mothers. Give these ladies the guidance and support necessary for them to succeed. Grant them with the resources required for them to provide for their children and to take care of their personal needs as well. Surround them with strong mother mentors that will advise, support, and assist these women. Remove any and all fear/anxiety associated with motherhood from their minds. Provide these ladies with the assurances that they are not alone!
For all these women, Father I thank you.
Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure; she rejoices over the future [the latter day or time to come, knowing that she and her family are in readiness for it]!
She opens her mouth in skillful and godly Wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness [giving counsel and instruction].
She looks well to how things go in her household, and the bread of idleness (gossip, discontent, and self-pity) she will not eat.
Her children rise up and call her blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied); and her husband boasts of and praises her, [saying],
Many daughters have done virtuously, nobly, and well [with the strength of character that is steadfast in goodness], but you excel them all.
Charm and grace are deceptive, and beauty is vain [because it is not lasting], but a woman who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised! Proverbs 31:25-30
Amen!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

“Therefore I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship.”
Romans 12:1 NIV
We must realize that our lives are not our own to do whatever with. As a sinner, our “freedom” is our license to destruction. The enemy is the “god” of this world and everything on this earth is dictated by his kingdom. However, when we make a conscious decision to follow Christ, we must then begin the process of divorce. We must publicly separate ourselves from our former way of life. We must be willing to now take on the mind and the ways of Christ. Willing to allow God to have total rule and reign over our lives. In other words, we must be willing to be divorced from the self we once knew and now become married to the self that is yet to come. We have entered God’s preordained or prearranged marriage with Him. In the beginning, we are strangers. But as time progresses we begin and continue to fall more in love with Him. The only way to enter into this covenant is by divorce. Divorce from our mind, our bodies, and our spiritual ties. The initiation of this covenant is an act of obedience and faith. Actually, it is at this moment that we enter into worship. Where we unselfishly give ourselves to God and leave our minds, bodies, and spirits into His hands.
Prayer
Lord, today I divorce myself from all those things that keep me from being completely one with you. Holy Spirit knit us, join us, allow for us to commune together with a level of intimacy that I have yet to obtain. I thank you for this time in your word and bless this day that I may walk upright before you and man. Bless my family and friends both near and far today. Cover them and protect then in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Blessed and Highly Favored,
Malissa

“I’m not going back. I’m moving ahead.
I’m here to declare to you my past is over.
In You old things are made new.
Surrendered my life to Christ.
I’m moving forward!
You make all thing new.
Yes, You make all things new and
I will follow You forward!”
~Ricardo Sanchez and Israel Houghton Moving Forward
It is my prayer that in this season you will move forward with God
and in the direction that He has chosen for your life.
You must be stern in your conviction and
confident in the word that He has already given to you.
This not the time for you to become doubtful,
nor is it a time for you to allow other voices to deter you from
the things that God has promised you!
Your season is upon you!
Keep walking into your season!
Continue to follow after God, His voice and His leading.
Your obedience is crucial.
You cannot afford to miss a step!
Stay encouraged and allow this song to minister to you.
Blessed and Highly Favored,
Malissa

“Exceedingly
Abundantly
Above all
All you can ask from him
According to the power
That worketh in you
God is able to do just what he said he would 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”
~Darwin Hobbs He’s Able
I decree and declare that God IS ABLE to all that He has promised to you!
He is able to heal!
He is able to deliver!
He is able to save!
My prayer is that you are reminded that God has made you victorious! Satan has nothing on you!
He cannot steal your joy!
He cannot steal you peace!
He cannot take your mind!
He cannot take your dreams!
He cannot have your destiny!
HE CANNOT HAVE YOUR LIFE!
This season of testing is just that – IT IS A TEST – and you are well on the way to passing.
God has equipped you with every weapon and defense against the enemy.
Your test is
DO YOU TRUST HIM.
Do you Believe the words that HE spoke to you?
Do you believe the promises that He gave to you freely?
This is not the time to give up, nor is it the time to throw in the towel.
God does not make quitters!
He has made us MORE THAN CONQUERORS!
We are ABLE to STAND against the firey darts of Satan.
GOD IS ABLE TO DO WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO!
HE IS ABLE!
