Praying for Your Husband!

It is just a firm personal belief that what you make happen for others, God will make happen for you so it is quite awesome for the Father to lay it very heavily on my heart to pray for my husband and then share what I've learned over the past week in researching this topic.

SSSSSSSScccccrrrrrr....But you're saying, Mocha...you're not married! Yeah, but I have it on good authority from my Father that marriage is apart of His plan for my life and I need to start preparing. I was told years ago by my grandfather to begin petitioning God regarding my husband and I did for many years but later became frustrated and disillusioned with doing so as it seemed that God was not answering my prayers. Well, fast forward to about two weeks ago, Abba really impressed upon my heart to once again start praying for my husband, of whom I am not yet married. He also confirmed to me other things that I needed to do in order to prepare for marriage and then as I was just wrapping up my marriage preparation research the Holy Spirit encouraged me to share this in my blog to be a blessing to other singles preparing for marriage but also I want to share it with my married sisters who might be having a difficult time praying for anyone but particularly your husband.

So to all my single sisters, you might not know who he is or what he looks like but if you know that marriage is a part of God's future for you, then start preparing for your Boaz now! To my married sisters, no I'm not married but if this is something that you've been needing and just didn't know how to approach it, I hope this helps and quite frankly, because I am sure that my Father is involved in this and this is not me giving my "advice" (which because of my singleness, I would be out of line to give), I am confident that this will be a blessing to you and your husband.  I am so excited! God is doing awesome, awesome things! So be encouraged and in all things seek God and desire His will as you pray, and you won't go wrong! Exercise your faith muscle and begin to speak those things that are not as though they are!

Be abundantly blessed!

The Mistake

Whatever you're angry, bitter, hurt or offended about today, just let it go! If there is something constructive that you can do to help the situation and improve it, then fine! Do it! But if you've done everything that you can do, then it's time for you to step aside and allow the Lord to be the great, big God that He desires to be in your life. If you're worried then it's probably because the issue, whatever it is, is too big for you to handle. So release it to God. How? Every Christian should have at least 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at the end of the day to just pray, meditate and spend time in the presence of the Lord. That's how you gain the strength, courage, insight and godly wisdom to locate where you are when you're feeling lost so that you can, if need be, repent and move beyond to where God wants you otherwise you'll stagnate yourself and subsequently lose sight of your goals.  Psalm 139:23 says, "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts." Realize that whenever you are anxious it is more than likely because your outer man and your spirit man are trying to take you in different directions and you are uneasy because you're leaning toward the desires of the outer man which are out of sync with God's plan and purpose for your life. So it is up to you to invite God's presence into your surroundings and into you so that He can search you and locate you when you're lost in the muck of your anger, bitterness, and offense. This is why Philippians 4:6 says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Anxiety, fear and worry are derivatives of rebellion, defiance and disobedience which also come from feelings of anger, resentment, bitterness and offense. As you mature emotionally and spiritually, you will accept that anxiety, fear and worry and everything associated in anyway with these feelings that could lead us to sin against God, are simply not worth the time or energy to indulge.  When you find yourself tired of those things to the point that you tell God, "Not my will, Father but your will alone be done!" and mean it, then you will have shut down any access that you've unwittingly given to the enemy to wreak havoc in your life because of your erroneous behavior. Anger, bitterness, etc. along with fear, anxiety, worry as well as doubt, unbelief, and distrust are all a part of a vicious destructive cycle that works in cooperation with each other to destroy everything that God has planned for you. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Understand that Satan's mission is to kill, steal and destroy and if you give him access to your life by being unproductively angry and bitter or resentful and offended then you are in jeopardy of losing everything that God has promised you.


As Christians it is ever so crucial for us constantly practice love and forgiveness! Ephesians 4:26 says, "'In your anger do not sin': Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry..." This scripture is referring to holding on to anger and not forgiving people in a timely manner because that kind of anger (also known as a grudge) will taint you in every aspect of your life, cloud your judgment and prevent you from believing and trusting God which will limit God's power in your life. We see this example in Matthew 13:58 when it says, "And He did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith." Matthew 13:57 even says that the people became "offended at" Jesus and that's why He couldn't perform the miracles that He wanted to perform but their offense caused unbelief which is always a deterrent to the move of God. Don't you understand that it even grieves the Holy Spirit when we allow ourselves to be captivated by thoughts, feelings and emotions that constrain His movement in our lives? Don't make the mistake of being bitter, resentful and/or holding on to anger you'll only stunt your own spiritual growth and end up in opposition to the will of God for your life which simply an exercise of futility.


Pray constantly, forgive daily and love, love, love! I Peter 4:8 says, "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." When you truly love God and love what God loves, you'll release everything that threatens to separate you from Him. Please examine yourself and open yourself up to be searched by the Holy Spirit so that you can get in a position of faith and trust in God that will open you up to the awesome future that your Heavenly Father has promised you and not just in the life to come but right here in this life! What's more important your "right" to be angry and offended or your hope in Christ? Anger and offense will obliterate that hope if you continue to give them sanction! It's just not worth it!                               

Be abundantly blessed! Mediocrity hates greatness...be great and let the haters hate!

Realizing Who God Is In Light of Who I am not

I refuse to limit God's power in my life because of unbelief. I choose to believe God. My hope, my faith, and all of my trust are soundly invested in my Abba, my El Shaddai, my Jahweh Rohe!

My Abba is:

Omniscient - having complete or unlimited knowledge, awareness, or understanding; perceiving all things.

Omnipresent - present everywhere at the same time

Omnipotent - almighty or infinite in power, as God. Having very great or unlimited authority or power.

My heavenly Father is not subject to the limits of time and space or hindered by situations or circumstances but it is up to me not to limit Him by failing to believe that He loves me and has an awesome life planned for me! I choose to believe and trust God rather than my own finite and limited understanding. In the light of God's awesome omniscience, what I do understand is minute and practically insignificant when it comes to Him fulfilling His plan and purpose for my life. So in all my getting I will get an understanding but I also understand that where my understanding ends, my trust in His omnipotence and great love for me must begin if I am to be blessed to the nth degree of being blessed!

Hosea 4:6 God tells the prophet Hosea, “my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” I am responsible for hearing, applying and implementing the preached Word of God and the Word of God that I read and study in my private time with Him so that I may truly know Him as much as I can possibly know Him within the confines of this world and this earth suit that I now occupy.

I am fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of the Most High, Only True and Living God and if I, being His daughter know how to do good things for my children, why wouldn't He give to me good gifts to me when I ask Him? However as is the case with my children, I may have to wait awhile until I am ready to receive the good things that I have asked of Him. But in the end He knows best because in His wonderful omnipresence, He already sees and knows the beginning from the end!

So I choose to trust Him with everything in me! I get it now! I am not omniscient, omnipotent or omnipresent but God in me is and that's not just good enough...that's absolutely amazing!

Be abundantly blessed!

Being Dealt With...

Over the past few weeks, I have increased my prayer and meditation time with the Lord and I feel as if I am in a dream state. It's as if I can see through this physical realm into the greater spiritual realm, where Christ is my reality instead of allowing the physical realm to dictate my reality. I don't have it all figured out as I still have struggles but I am learning that my struggles can be used to my benefit and to the glory of God as I learn how to position myself for this and other great blessings that I am sure the Father has for me. I have been chasing God like never before and I have grown so tired of the "extra" in my life that I am willing to yield and allow the Father to prune everything that does not pertain to his plan and purpose for my life.



Admittedly, I have felt very alone and abandoned on this journey but I trust that God is working things out on my behalf. As a parent, if one of my children was crying out to me for help there is no way that I could ignore them!  I would go see about them and once they told me what was wrong and what they needed or after reviewing the situation, I discover what they needed, I would go about the process of making sure that they're needs were met. I can't see or always feel Abba working this out on my behalf but I have to trust that He is doing whatever it takes to meet my needs. Matthew 7:11 says, "If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!" So if even in my flawed and sinful humanity, I know how to be kind and take care of my children then Abba, who is perfect, sinless and the creator of all things will most certainly take care of me and provide for me! Psalm 84:11 states, "For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD gives grace and glory; No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly." Abba will NOT withhold any good thing from me! Romans 8:32 goes even deeper when it says, "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?" Abba, gave His only begotten son, Jesus for me so why would He fail to provide all of my other needs as it pertains to salvation and the call that He has placed on my life. When I feel alone and abandoned I understand that it's more than likely because I am not content so Hebrews 13:5 says, "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'" That scripture not only pertains to the love of money but the love of anything more than the love of God because anything that we give priority over the love of God is idolatry. I, by no means have this thing figured out. As a matter of fact as I write these things God keeps revealing things to me. I can't desire marriage more than I desire to please and honor Him. Making such a tragic error could place unrealistic expectations on the blessing that God has for me which leads to disappointment, which leads to misuse and abuse of what was meant to bring me fulfillment as well as bring glory and honor to my Father. With that being said, I soldier on knowing that God has got this awesome plan in the works for me, He sees and already knows the beginning from the end so this middle part has been worked out already in the spiritual realm and I have to keep pushing so that it will manifest in the physical. Oh yes, please believe I'm being dealt with by my Father who loves me enough straighten me out so that I will see my blessing for what it is, a blessing and not undervalue or undermine it and in the process dishonor my Father by treating it as if it were a curse because I didn't properly prepare for the blessing. Abba is so awesome!

Be abundantly blessed!
