This Is The Prayer I Transcribed While Watching The DVD, "Got Guilt? Get Free!" by Joan Hunter Ministries. Are You Not Glad That Not Only Do I Learn But Also Take Notes That You May Be Set Free Also.

I have now viewed three different DVD's from Joan Hunter Ministries. It all started with "Can I Truly Forgive?" It then progressed with "Close The Door To Stress And Trauma." I recently completed viewing a third DVD, "Got Guilt? Get Free!" I do not know about you but I am a visual person so viewing, reading, hands-on type of learning and things of that nature are the best way I learn and retain information. Some of you may retain by just listening and that is fine also. Each one of these DVD's also come in CD form too. I would recommend that you should experience these opportunities in your very life by viewing or listening to them for yourself. It is great that I take notes and share snip-it's so to speak with you or highlights but you should really take the time and effort to participate for yourself. When you do Holy Spirit will speak to you about things that pertain to your life in each of the areas.
What I enjoy most of all in viewing these DVD's is the relevant examples shared with you along with seeing the exercises being played out. Again, what I like about this ministry is that it is a hands-on teaching/training ministry. This is a highlight from viewing the most recent DVD. I went through the prayer along with her. Finished viewing the entire DVD and then went back to the section where the prayer is being said. I would pause and rewind to write out the prayer stated. Yes, I guess that would be known as transcribing or simply put as taking good notes. You see, in my act of doing this not only do you know the prayer but I now have the prayer and can use it whenever needed in my life. As I was doing this exercise Holy Spirit was still speaking softly to me reminding me what to pray about next. In order to get the full meaning behind the prayer I would recommend viewing/listening to the teaching so you know the variety of things this would encompass and a bit more behind this prayer.

This prayer is an excerpt from the DVD I mentioned from Joan Hunter Ministries:

"Father I take full responsibility for___________________________________ (fill in whatever it may be.) I have carried this responsibility for all these years and I don't want to carry it anymore. I give this responsibility to You and lay it on Your altar along with all the guilt that I have carried and give that to You also in Jesus name. Amen."

Guess What I Did Today?



Seven more scarves to join the others I created the other day.

 What gift is inside of you just waiting to come forth? For some reason I am in a season of creating scarves and handcrafted greeting cards. I had an incredible morning during my devotion time reading the word of God. It amazes me how reading through the bible in the fashion the missionary showed me how to do, it just makes so much sense to me. I have read through the bible before but doing it in the fashion of from the beginning to the end. This current way has blessed me immensely. I am just about done with the Old Testament reading up to the book of Malachi section. All of the other sections have been completed except the section of Old Testament that goes to the book of Job. I must admit to you that Holy Spirit handcrafted this reading plan just for me. The missionary guide was the start but then as I completed sections I was to leave it at that. The exception is a certain chapter in Proverbs, I continue to read highlights in that chapter. So, onward and upward.
Today as I read in the Old Testament from 2 Samuel do I not then find something similar in Zechariah. I am sharing this with all of you to encourage you to look up the blog I wrote about on how to read the bible in a year through the eyes of the missionary that shared it with me. You will be so blessed you will stand back in amazement at times and just thank God for sharing the word of God with His people. This truly touches my heart that it causes tears to well up in my eyes as I give thanks that I am alive today to come forth in what God calls me to do.

ORANGE BLOSSOM

Orange Blossom seems to be the word Holy Spirit is using in my life for the last few days. It all began many months ago, it may possibly be well over a year now. For some reason I tend to add honey to my coffee and do not just use it for tea if I want a sweet touch to the coffee. So, I stumbled upon orange blossom honey. Ever since I discovered this type of honey I no longer prefer clover honey. I do not know much about it but I enjoy the flavor of it. I think it is because it is not a strong tasting honey, it is a little more subtle. The last few months I would drive out of my way to a certain store that carries this orange blossom honey and it is the brand quality that I like also.To no avail though. Each time the spot for this honey would be on the shelf but no product in the space provided. I was really getting down to the last of the honey so I settled for the same brand but I purchased clover. I was then low on that and sure enough still no orange blossom so I purchased the small size of clover again.
In the meantime I view the live teaching I posted on my blog the other day about the prophetic and one of the words spoken forth was Orange Blossom. I perked up my ears to learn a little bit more about it. Did you know that the orange blossom is the state flower of Florida? It was designated that in 1909. Did you know that orange blossom flowers are very popular in bridal bouquets and head wreaths for weddings? The orange blossom essence plays an important role in the making of perfume.
What I learned about the spiritual connotation of the meaning is when people are sensitive to the presence of God, the fragrance you can sometimes smell with the presence is told to me that it smells like orange blossoms. I find that very interesting. I will have to go and smell one one day to see what it is all about.
I did some further research and found out a bit about orange blossom honey. Orange blossom honey is known as citrus honey for it is produced by putting the beehives in the citrus groves during the blooming period. It is suppose to also pollinate seeded citrus varieties. I never knew this until today. I can see why it is in popular demand for it is highly prized and tastes much like the fruit.
You see, sometimes God can speak to you well before the time of knowledge comes to play in your life. I have been enjoying this type of honey for quite a while now and it was not until the other day that I learned more about orange blossom. The starting of knowledge that day is what sent me on learning a little bit more about it today.
Back to my story now. It was the very day after viewing the live teaching online that I went to that particular store to pick up a few items (I always check the honey section to see if they stocked more of the orange blossom honey) and to my surprise...there it was sitting on the shelf. Do you think it was a coincidence I do not think so. You see, when God puts a desire in your heart. Once you have tasted of it and have enjoyed it and then one day it is gone. You begin to realize how much you do miss this. Do not take things for granted when God places people in your very life for when you do you will one day turn around and realize they are no longer there for you. It was in the doing without the orange blossom honey that I learned to adapt to another less prized type of honey. Each time it was not in the store I would be disappointed and have to settle for not using honey or using an inferior type of honey. Now, since I have a full jar of my favorite honey I so very much so savor the taste of it.  I try not to over indulge when I do use it. I can now see how much I enjoy this honey since I had the opportunity to not have it for many weeks in my life.
Is there someone or some people in your life that you take their presence for granted? Maybe you had a treasure or a gem of a person in your life that you took for granted. Once you discover the true gem/treasure inside of them it may be too late to go back after the veil has been removed from your eyes to allow you to see this treasure inside of them. Life is but a vapor. We are here today and you may not even have tomorrow to enjoy. Do not be like my example of the orange blossom honey story OK. I took the orange blossom honey for granted because it was always there on the shelf when I needed to replenish. Until...that day when it was no longer available on the shelf and I had to settle for something less prized and more commonly known as the clover honey. Do not settle for anything less than God's best for you. Once you realize God's best then do not let go of it for one day you may turn around and it is no longer there for you. Use wisdom and again, I say, settle for only God's best in and for your life. Anything less than that will keep you searching and searching and searching some more. Then you will probably look back on your life and wish you had not settled for something inferior to what God has for you.

I Highly Recommend To View This Teaching By Joan Hunter Ministry, It Is On The Prophetic Ministry. You Will Learn From This If You Are Open To Learning On This Subject.

If you are ready to learn about the prophetic ministry this will help you. If you do not know much about the prophetic then this may be the opportunity to explore it. What I liked about the "live" streaming was there was a portion in which a prophetic word was coming forth and if Holy Spirit gave you a word for the person you were invited to e-mail it in to the ministry and then they would share it with the person. I love hands on training and this ministry is all about that. It is not a ministry where you just sit and listen and take notes. It is a teaching ministry that shows you how to, to allow you to then take the knowledge and place it into practice. All I ask of you is to be open to view and you just might surprise yourself and discover that you may have the gift of the prophetic or you will now have knowledge of a subject that you were not familiar with prior to viewing this.

Can You Guess What This Picture Is?

I was in a creative mode yesterday. I have to work when the creativity inside of me calls me to create. I spent time creating scarves.  I also handcrafted a few greeting cards today and then I created three more scarves today also. They are not in this picture though.

Sometimes I Miss Opportunities Presented Before Me. Today I Caught A Glimpse Of Getting It Right.

How many times are God's subtle hints in front of you to reach out to others? I would say more often than we care to acknowledge or stop to participate in. I will be the first to admit to you all that I do not always catch the hint but when I do it is wonderful. If I could only train to perfect it more then I would be a happy camper so to speak. Sometimes I feel the nudge but maybe dismiss it because of the burdens/cares of the world that overshadow the nudge. Other times I begin to doubt that it was God nudging me and then there are the times when you just know it is God and He is tugging at your heart to help that person.
That happened to me today. I was on the phone with a ministry to order a book. The customer service representative kept speaking the wrong name of the author. The reason I knew this is because I have books by this author already and know their name. I questioned them and spoke the author's name. After two times of saying the wrong name I then caught Holy Spirit's nudge and inquired if this person was a part of the prayer team and they replied no to me. I then suggested that maybe it was not a coincidence that they kept speaking forth a person's name and maybe they needed prayer today. So, I then began to pray for the person they mentioned and at the end of the prayer they responded Amen to my Amen. I then realized that there was a person out there that truly needed prayer today and Holy Spirit used two open vessels to get the prayer job done. Isn't God grand?
In my walking in obedience today I realized how crucial it is for someone to respond to prayer needs.  What if they were in dire need today and we missed it? That would not be good would it? What if they were seeking the Lord for something serious in their very life and they had no one they could reach out to to pray for them. That is why I am most thankful that Holy Spirit knows the very person/people He can reach out to on behalf of others. Trust the nudges from God. You would want someone to be there for you in your time of need right.

My Version Of Lasagna

I made lasagna the other day and this is what I did to customize the dish. I like creating and trying different spins on sometimes a traditional dish. I thought this combination would taste good together and it did. I made homemade small meatballs and then I coarsely chopped them up to use as a layer in the lasagna. I have had lasagna several times in which the layer of ricotta cheese would tend to dry out and not have a creamy texture once it was baked in the oven.
I searched recipe ideas to find a creamy type of ricotta filling. This is what I came up with. You take cream cheese and butter that are softened (not melted) and mix the two of them together. The recipe called for adding cheese to the mixture but I did not. I did add a slightly beaten egg to this mixture and I did not season the ricotta cheese mixture with salt and pepper which the recipe called for. I like the sweeter, creamy version of ricotta cheese and it did not need seasoning for there is already seasoning in the sauce and the meatballs I made.
I made my homemade sauce and I needed to add to it to have enough sauce so I used two combinations, one I liked a lot and the other I would not use again (it was too strong tasting with the herbs in it.) The brand I did like was Bertolli (Vineyard Premium Collection Sauce) Marinara sauce with Burgundy wine in it. The other Marinara sauce I did not care for was from Aldi, Priano (Gourmet Pasta Sauce) Chunky Marinara. I added that one last and then I doctored it up with a bit of sugar added and some Burgundy cooking wine. It was then fine.
I placed sauce on the bottom of the pan, layer of lasagna noodles, ricotta mixture on top then more sauce and layer of the meatballs then topped with Italian blend grated cheese and some Parmesan cheese. Then repeat the layers again and top off with a layer of the noodles, sauce and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and any other grated cheese you may have left over and did not use in the prior layers. I then added a few slices of Provolone cheese. I followed two different recipe directions on baking it in the oven. I started off with baking at 350 degree oven for half an hour then I turned up the temperature to 375 degrees and continued to bake it another 30 to 40 minutes longer. You want to let the lasagna rest a bit before you cut into it so it does not just fall apart when cutting it.
It was delicious.
I was busy also making a few Valentine cards for my family this past week. Here is a picture of them. Enjoy what life has to offer to you today and do not dwell on negatives in life but be thankful that you are alive and there is destiny to be fulfilled in your life. So, do not settle for anything less than God's best for your life.

May I Suggest To You Another Book & DVD To Help You Along With Healing Your Heart (to make your heart whole again.)

Well, much has happened in my life since I shared with you about the healing process of healing your wounded heart. When I completed the exercise in the book it actually took me several days. I would be reading something and then Holy Spirit would prompt me to forgive another person and then ask God to bless them. I also ordered another DVD and received it in the mail days ago. I believe Holy Spirit knew I would need it when the time was right.
Today was the day for me to view the DVD. I received some not favorable news today and this is the day I did further healing in my life. This time the healing was anything brought into my life via trauma and stress. I already had and read the books, Power To Heal by Joan Hunter and Healing The Whole Man  Handbook also by Joan Hunter. I viewed the DVD, Close The Door To Stress And Trauma by Joan Hunter today. I followed the instruction at the end of the DVD and placed my hands upon my heart as she prayed.
After this, I went and searched out the two books I previously mentioned. The reason being is because reference and particular pages were made mention of in the DVD. I jotted down the info. and a few other notes during the viewing too. I knew I would be needing this information for further healing today. Holy Spirit is amazing and always knows when the student is ready and the teacher appears in their life for them to receive the information and knowledge to take them to their next level. This exercise today took me several hours. It is still not done for part of this exercise is to share with you all so you too can be set free of trauma and stress in your lives.
I know Holy Spirit has given me the ability to share with all of you by example in my life. I choose to learn and receive knowledge and wisdom to help me in my life and to help me become free more and more. I am not bragging about this for I do not think any of you would like to walk where I have walked and experience what I have experienced in my life to allow you to not have to make the same mistakes or choices I have made. I share with all of you so as to show you how not to have to walk the path I walked.
Part of my healing is to reach out to others and share with them how I was set free so they can either choose to not go in that direction I walked in or if they already have walked the path that they can then find freedom also. It is not always easy to share with the world, it is by grace and strength of Jesus in me that I can open up my heart to you. It is also through the kind and gentle words Holy Spirit places in my heart to share with all of you and the timing when to share with you. Part of this experience is humbling to me and He truly protects me.
If you want to do a thorough cleansing of all trauma and stress in your life I would recommend both books and the DVD. Remember, this is not a one time exercise. Part of keeping yourself free of this trauma or any trauma in your life is to not let it enter at the time of the event. Take the time right then and there to place your hands upon your heart and speak you will not receive this trauma.
There are several prayers you can pray and pertinent information in the book, Power To Heal. I highly recommend reading this book.
I trust this information will help you with your walk with the Lord. Remember, it is only as helpful in your life as you choosing to do something about it. Trust me when I tell you I did not receive favorable information today in my life. I am most thankful that I already had the DVD in my possession to be able to deal with things today. God is faithful. Will you allow Him to be faithful in your life today?

Coca Cola I Caught An Olympic Television Commercial, I Liked It But Here Is My Added Suggestion...

I recently viewed a television commercial in regard to the Olympics from Coca Cola. I like your use of the color red and I caught the caption of "Open Happiness." As soon as I viewed the commercial my instant thought was this...Why did they not incorporate the use of the Polar bears in this commercial? Considering this thought, Polar bears are connected with Winter and cold, snowy regions right? How appropriate it would be to use them. Your advertising on billboards is so endearing when you incorporate them into the ads. Why not take that same endearing quality and take it to the viewing population via television?
These are my thoughts and views and how I would see this great commercial become superbly great with this simple addition. Thank you Coca Cola for spreading happiness to all peoples of all lands that choose to open happiness when they open up and enjoy Coca Cola.
