Reggie's Message

For those who do not know, Reggie is my wonderful, wonderful husband. He is a gospel artist (singer, rapper, songwriter and producer) and goes by the name Skyway Rec . As with anyone else doing the Lord's work, Reggie encounters attacked from the enemy. When you cause as much damage to the enemy's kingdom as Reg does, you are bound to make the enemy a little, or very angry.

We have been attacked in several ways, attacks on top of attacks, especially since 2012 began. Generational curses have been trying to bc v overtake us, we received Words from God that others tried to deny, debts have been coming from seemingly nowhere, division came into our home and then we lost our home. But praise God! When the enemy comes in like a flood, God WILL and has raised up a standard against him! God has allowed us to go through certain things to strengthen us, to train us to endure as good soldiers. I did not realize just how true the previous statement is in our lives until God gave me a demonstration via my husband.

One evening, while Reg and I were in a serious championship game of the card game Speed (he took my championship title that evening but whatever), our son comes to Reggie with a nail that he had found from who knows where. SN: Children can find just about anything! I may send him on a hunt for jewelry and money when he's a bit older.  Reggie takes the nail from Zion (our son) and tosses it onto the dresser. Now our dresser top is a bit cluttered to say the least. There were books, boxes of facial tissues, drinking glasses, knick knacks, lotion bottles, etc. on there. So I assume that Reggie made the assumption that he would just toss the nail there to spare himself time during our game. He quickly turns around from the game, tosses the nail and pauses. He looks at me and says " Do you see that? It landed straight up! " I glanced over and sure enough, the nail landed, in the midst of all that mess, all of that clutter, and chaos and was STILL STANDING.

The very next morning, Reggie, Kristen, my sister in law also known as Kris in law and I went onto the back deck. I was videotaping Reggie and Kristen as they performed a skit to promote SkyWay Rec's soon-to-be released album 'Reloaded' (had to plug that in there {^_^} ) There was a car tire laying on the ledge of the deck. It was in view of where we were videotaping. I mentioned this fact to Reggie. Immediately, he turned to it and shoved it off of the deck ledge. The tire made the 6 foot drop and landed just as you see it in the above picture.

I knew God was speaking to me at that moment but I did not get the revelation until the following morning. My mind became flooded with the Word of God as it applies to Reggie and our current, but not permanent situation.

• Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault. Jude 1:24
• So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away. 2 Peter 1:10
• The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.  Proverbs 24:16
• Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand. Psalm 37:24
• We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:9
• Give your burdens to the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall. Psalm 55:22
• The LORD helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. Psalm 145:14

The Holy Spirit spoke so strongly to me about my husband. This message is for you as well ! You are strong! You are courageous! God will NOT permit you to fall ! Nothing we do in the name of Jesus will fall but it WILL remain standing! We have all missed it and fallen when it comes to instructions from the Lord in the past but God is placing our feet on solid ground. Though we are thrown, pushed, shoved and dropped into unknown and sometimes scary situations, He is there! We will always land on our feet with God. Sometimes we need a push to get started and to get out of that spirit of complacency. We are being knocked into position with our feet firmly planted on the path God has chosen for us.

If you are in a fallen state, do not worry, for He is with you. He is there holding you by the hand and lifting you up. He sees you! In the midst of the chaos, He knows exactly where you are. Just keep your hearts and minds focused on Jesus! Once your process is complete, He will lift you out of the clutter just as He has done with us! Amen!

Read What Thus Saith The Lord

• People don't want to hear what God is saying but they want Him to hear what they are saying. We are asking God for change but has He seen a change in us? Don't give God your last and expect to receive His first. Don't give God anything you wouldn't accept. Genesis 22:17-18, Ezekiel 18:21-22, Psalm 51:1-3, Exodus 34:26

• Say "God Bless You" when someone coughs as well as sneezes. Why only to those who sneeze? Sneezers expect the blessing but coughers do not. Give coughers that unexpected blessing. 2 Chronicles 1 :11-12

• We should cover and love our children more. Often times they hear more clearly from the Lord than we do simply because they are willing and pure at heart. Mark 10:14, Psalm 8:2, Matthew 5:8

• The Holy Spirit brought back to remembrance (for the sake of this posting) a prayer He had me speak out into a particular atmosphere: Have joy; stop being fake; yield to God and His will; know God for yourself; Christ died for everyone not just a few; stop trying to be a psychologist and figure out why people do what they do and speak LIFE over them, we cannot save or condemn anyone; get that log out of your own eye; have mercy; do what God has told you; be obedient; stop acting like a Pharisee; the people pleasers have their reward already; love thy neighbor as thy self; love God with ALL your heart, mind and strength; God didn't give us fear so don't be ashamed to speak about Jesus; restoration; learn your identity in Christ; bind spirits of confusion, doubt, depression, pride, division and judgment; loose yielding to the Spirit, worshiping in spirit and in truth, operating in the fruits of the Spirit. He that have an ear let him hear.

 

 

• For some of us it's time to come up into ministry, for others, there is still in the preparation process. Wait for the confirmation from your leaders. God has given us leaders for a reason. . .The Holy Spirit showed me a vision of my overseer, dressed in a pretty, red, two piece dress with matching hat, of course. She was the only one in perfect view, everyone else was blurry. She was in the center of the front row of many people who were locked arm and arm. There were lots of rows. They were on a battlefield. Bombs were being dropped, planes were shooting at each other, there was barb wire. She was leading the people who are assigned to her, by God, into victory. Her pace was very steady, her face determined. All of a sudden, a few people tried to come out of their place in the row and run ahead of her. In their eyes, she was not moving fast enough for them. They were instantly killed. There were others who broke away from the pack and strayed behind. They too, were killed. Only the ones who stayed in place-locked arm and arm and moving along with our leader- were kept alive. It was only because of the covering of the leader. She, like other leaders have an assignment which involves those under them. Do not take your leader(s) for granted. Ephesians 4:11-13, Ephesians 2:20

• Come against this spirit of bullying that is strong across the nation. Matthew 18:11, Ephesians 6:12

• Get serious about warfare. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, Romans 12:21, 2 Timothy 2:1-4, Ephesians 6:10-20

• Operate in unity with the body of Christ. We all need and complement each other. Psalm 133:1, Colossians 3:14, Ephesians 4:3

• God can and does use ANYONE. Do not treat being a Christian like a secular job. The years you've put in does not give you seniority over receiving God's anointing. He views the heart of man not the years you've put in.  Matthew 20:1-16, 1 Samuel 16:7, 2 Chronicles 16:9

Matters of the Heart

          The Holy Spirit showed me a correlation of heart matters with a tube of Zion's eczema cream (for those just tuning in, Zion is my toddler son) .  My husband and I, misplaced the tube cap. As a result, air entered the tube and the cream near the tube opening became hard. The tube was still workable when the cap was first misplaced; we could find cracks through the hardened areas and still cause the regular cream to come forth. As time went on, layers of hard cream surrounded the tube opening.  So hard that it is now difficult to squeeze the cream out, even with force. Applying force causes the cream to come out at other ends of the tube! The top seems sealed completely and we now have cracks on either side of the tube in which cream comes oozing out.


Our hearts can be very similar to this tube of eczema cream. Our feelings may be misplaced and allows our heart to be given to the wrong person. Or our heart is open at this wrong time, allowing the wrong things to enter. Or again, we may have our hearts properly open to the right person (parent for example) and that person may be suffering from a hardened heart. Any and all of these scenarios result in a hardened heart. After the heart is hardened, force must be applied to get through to it. Unfortunately, not everyone is willing, able, or understanding enough to apply the right amount of force to our hearts to get through to the soft portion. The hard areas may be too thick.


As a result, those seeking our heart may only experience the hardened areas. If they are willing to stick around through the layers of negativity, anger, sadness, bitterness, etc. associated with a hardened heart, they will began to see glimpses of our heart piercing through. Forcing the hardened heart of someone may result in a lot of emotions bursting out at once. This can result in unhealthy romantic, friend and family relationships.


Our hearts must be properly dealt with. The proper way is by giving our heart to God. And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. Ezekiel 36:26  The hard heart/ cream is replaced with the soft. This exchange comes by revelation, repentance and deliverance. This exchange also allows us to be lighter, as we are not longer carrying the stony weight of the pains, hurts, and disappointments in our heart. We have given them to God to deal with on our behalf. He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.Psalm 147:3. Even when we are wronged by others, we must give these things to God. It does us no good to carry them, meanwhile the person(s) who gave them to you have long forgotten about them. Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matthew 11:28-30


Not giving them to the Lord allows other things to birth and build upon them, which brings even more weight. Your heart which began as a soft, fleshly, properly functioning organ becomes more and more compressed as we add hardened layers. Please understand, this is is not just a pep talk given within a blog; I have given many MANY hurtful things as well as their birthings to God. They include family members, pride, molestation, rejection, anger, and SEVERAL more. I am thankful to Jesus for allowing me total deliverance from these and future issues and the strength to expose my heart to Him. He is more than willing to heal EVERYONE from EVERYTHING unlike Him! We just have to let Him !
