10:18 a.m.: I was sitting here minding my business – paying a bill – and as soon as I clicked “submit” and received an email that read “confirmation of payment received,” my soul begin to flutter.

You know the phrase “I have butterflies?” Well, I had butterflies after the fact when normally you get them before something happens – while you’re contemplating a decision.  I was thinking, “what is this reaction (response) that my body is having?” My brain/nerves seemed to BE perplexed. I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. Each emotion was competing with one another; one trying to dominate the other. I just didn’t know what to do with such a conflict.

Quickly, I discovered that crying + laughing = praise!

I started to submit my praise of thanksgiving. I called on the warring angels to protect my sons. I begin to call forth MY healing. I saw the physician’s name scroll across my face and I praised God for him. I began to thank the LORD for scores of increase in every sector of life that concerns me. Ultimately, I praised myself right into another measure of faith; leaning not to my own understanding, but rather acknowledging the LORD to direct me (Psalm 3:5-6).

Then, I heard a man of God say – DANCE!

10:23 a.m.: Five minutes had elapsed from the time I pressed SUBMIT and received CONFIRMATION of payment received and I had been engulfing my home with praise. I was dancing in my seat and my feet, couldn’t keep still. My Josue’ calls and asks me to assist him with something. Hesitation knocked on the door of my heart and tried to intrude upon this new measure of faith. But the HOLY GHOST intervened and said, “You are not praising the LORD for nothing!” Thank You Jesus! I answered my Josue’ that I would consider the RESOURCES that the SOURCE has already provided. I gave him a YES and went right back to my praise!

Then, I heard a man of God say, “If you have a need, SEND JUDAH FIRST!”

Well, JUDAH was already permeating through-and-through. At that moment, I couldn’t even think of a need that I had where provisions were not already provided. To be honest, I didn’t even think of a desire or a want. I just continued to SEND JUDAH in my home; sent it out the door to capture the desires of my children’s heart; sent it to the GIVERS so that they will freely GIVE to us. SELAH!

Then, I heard a man of God say – OH THAT MEN WOULD PRAISE THE LORD (Psalm 107:8)!

ALLELUIA!

12:31 p.m.: Here it is, 2 hours and 8 minutes later, while praise was still sweeping over home, my Jordan calls me. He told me that he just made two trips to Tipton (he was at work), and on his way back he saw a car that he wanted. We’ve been working on this for a while – getting him a car. So, Angela was all the way seated and Nataph was all the way alive. This time, hesitation couldn’t even find the door to knock.  I told him we will go by the dealership, inquire, and test drive when he gets off work. There is this unwavering belief all over me that within the next eight days (the day of new beginnings) my son will have THIS desire of his heart. I ain’t praising the LORD for nothing! SELAH!

1:40 p.m.: Three hours and 22 minutes later, the Holy Ghost has encouraged me, again, – THE LORD PROVIDES! With that inflexible declaration, I started making plans to travel and see/meet people I haven’t seen/met, and to go places I want to go. I will bless people the Holy Ghost tells me to bless, and buy from people I want to buy from. I will call people the Holy Ghost tells me to call, and then I will call people whom I want to talk to. I praise the LORD now for the career advancement, for the business advancement, and for the vision coming alive. I praise the LORD now for His goodness and His wonderful works.

Glory to God!
