My Life Interrupted “ Ribbon In The Sky”

The beginning of living starts at the exact moment when you realize that one day life can be changed at  a moments notice.  The embrace of all the simple pleasures of life take on a whole new meaning of indulge. As I awakened daily I awake with many different emotions that come to me with an exclamation of What happened to my life ? Then I begin to think that God interrupted the old life that I once known to now bring fourth the destiny that God has planned. Cancer for many is the scariest word that any one would want to here, so many things happen within the mind and most of all Fear decides to dine.
As you lie awake in the bed drifting in your head is the thought, that there is chance you maybe cheated out of some of things you thought were normal for ones life. The moment you start to loose control and process all of the things you may loose, God is now depositing in you what you are going to gain. I stare at you Cancer and daily as I talk to God I hear him utter “ do you trust me” ? I never can say that I understand all of this, and its not my place to say that I do. What I do know, is that as you are given any diagnoses in life, one thing to remember is that God holds your future. Many days I have my questions and silent moments of despair and  I begin to ask God what will I learn from all of this ? What we learn in life is that interruptions happen to place us on the travels that God wanted for our life, and at the end there is a ribbon sitting up in  the sky that connects us back to the ultimate source that our Destiny lies within reach of “ Living”
Remember the most valuable thing we have in life is Love and Time!
God bless all of you, and the love that you show me and the prayers, I feel them all and in them God will bestow a miracle.

Cancer Journey Journal 1 ( The Diagnoses)


Cancer Journey “ 9-5-12 “ The Diagnoses “ Why Me ? Why Not Me?

In life we get those defining moments of impact. It’s in these moments that we start to ask ourselves where do I go from here ? Many things start to enter the mind, how will I tell people ? Will I loose friends ? Will I ever be able to have a normal life ? Then the greatest feeling comes to your soul and it’s the presence of God.
I remember all to well just 6 months ago, life felt like it was really moving right along, working on my ministry in spreading the Gospel getting ready to launch my first seminar, feeling like I was on top of the world, not only that I was working out and getting my temple ready to do some major work for the lord. Then comes the month of April I sustain an injury to my right shoulder, and here I am thinking this will get better just another bump in the road. Well month after month I wasn’t getting better, then to add insult to injury my family find out my oldest sister was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast cancer. I remember the feeling that I felt, Hey we don’t have breast cancer in our family! That early morning of May 23, 2012 2am I was awakened to my very own pain in my breast, and I’m thinking it must be soul sister connection, however the only thing is I felt a lump.
As, the months progressed trying to find health insurance and walking around with a shoulder injury I was truly in the worst pain of my life, and the worst part I know I needed help however with no insurance coverage I felt alone until the lord said “ follow me child I will order your steps” and the lord did just that. Provided the insurance coverage.
9-5-2012: Truly was a day like no other it was the day that has changed my life forever, The day I was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. They say in those moments you feel a sensation in your body that only should come with a reaction of anger however for me that day anger became confusion. Once again that phrase hit the core of my being “ Breast cancer doesn’t run in our family” Well, now it does. In these moments of impact we are able to find out several things about ourselves, one is that Faith over powers Fear and most of all God gives us power to deal and handle the unimaginable. Since getting the news it’s been hard for me to ask Lord why me? Part of the reason is based on the fact that I love the lord so much, that I think about Jesus on the cross I think about the pain and suffering he endured for me, and in that thought process I think about the reasons I will endure and have endured such pain. In life it’s never about us, God allows certain things to manifest for the greater good of humanity and bringing awareness to us. I know that going forward as I start my treatments I will be challenged in great ways, I will have some sad days and many tears will fall, but through it all I know that the Lord we serve is there and that the love that he has given me through people will give me the sustenance that I need to push forward. My mission in this life is to share the love of the  Lord to all that cross my path, one thing we all know for sure is that this existence has an expiration date for us all, however while we are here we are to Love and share Gods light to a very hurting world.
I will be sharing my journey with all of you, and I thank you so much for the out our of love and prayers for it has truly touched my soul in a very eternal way. I love how God has blessed me with Time and everyday I will embrace the moment of now and all of the beauty we have in this dimension of time. Remember it’s not the diagnoses that will kill you, it’s the fear in the mind that will stop you from living. Look fear in its face and tell it to leave you now, for God is with you and he will be your shield and when this life is over you’ll see we never had anything to worry about for the Good Lord was always with us.
Live, love and laugh and make the most of each day, be sure to read the word of God so when defining moments of impact happen you’ll know the answer is the “ Peace” that God gives too us that will see you through.
God bless you, and do know that I love you and so does God, I will post again soon!!

Sowing into the Kingdom


“ Sowing Into The Kingdom”

Father as we come into your presence we see the glory and grace that has been given to us.
Most times we do not understand what you are doing, however we trust and stand in awe of all that you are doing and what you have done for us.

Lord we see in the presence of the wonders of your nature and gifts that you have bestowed upon your children that your spirit lives within us and the power that you

Have given to us surpasses all understanding. Father many times we forget that it is you that gives us our daily bread, that even though you ask for us to give our 10 percent, the 90 percent belongs to you as well, and we thank you for loaning it to us.

The afflictions that come into our minds and our bodies we embrace for we are sharing in the sufferings that our dear Jesus endured on the cross for us. Lord as we turn from our past ways and past pain that left us in the corner of un forgiveness we stand in agreement

That our enemies should be loved too. The ultimate source of wisdom is the understanding of  what “ love” means for it’s in Love that we have learned the main reason on why we stand in Victory.

Father we pray for Grace and Mercy many changes are happening in our world which are written in the word and we understand that in all these things it will bring us closer to you Lord, for the mighty hand of your hand lifts us up even if nature takes us down our spirit will rise up before you.

Daily we ask to be more like Jesus, to appreciate those precious moments of time and the embracing of space that you have given to us to be around one another.

Never can we take for granted the simple things in life and the presence of all that you give us even when we feel our greatest despair you are there.

Let us come together as one why the world is still standing not just in the moment when chaos strike, we are all one and in that oneness we belong to you, and the blood of the lamb lives so we can live another day to go out and spread to the world “ How Good our Lord is” so we sow into the Kingdom and we lift you on high for the greatest day is coming when the children of God “ will see” our father face to face, until that time dear Lord we will “ Glorify” your name.


Defining Moments with April:

God bless all of you that come and spend time with me on this blog page, for it’s the Lord that gives me the strength and the heart to do this mission. I have had some trials and storms lately through it all is has truly given me that closer relationship with God that surpasses all understanding.

I’ve learned that the greatest affliction can be the greatest Victory, the lord uses all things for the glory of his kingdom, and despite it all he gives us the courage to continue pressing forward. Many of you are seeing so much in our world and questioning what is happening, I will tell you, that more than ever the word of God is the GPS and it will guide you and it will bring a peace within your soul that even if all things are collapsing right in front of you, you will be able to take the word of God as your lamp and it will lead you in continue light of his love.

Continue to be good stewards of the lord and lean not on your own understanding, we are his children and he give you wisdom and guidance on the next steps that many of us will be taking on this walk with him.

Change is upon us and we must not resist the change allow the lord to do what he’s doing and it will bless you in such a mighty way.

Many of you feel this new feeling and you don’t understand the shift, if you are not in a church please visit a local church and daily read the word of God and you will truly get a connection that is deeper than what you can imagine, the lord knocks daily and all he wants is to sit and dine with his children. ( Open the door)

Obedience is the key, make sacrifices for Jesus, let the lies of the world go trust me the lies of satan will not satisfy the hunger from the hurt, the pain and the old wounds that continue to keep Gods children in bondage, the only thing that can sustain us is the lords manna and it will fill you up in away that you will never go hungry.

I type these words from a place within my soul that comes from the goodness of God and the calling that he has placed on my life, and my mission is to continue to let the lords children know that you are loved you are special to the father and there is nothing impossible for the Lord, you may be struggling, you may be in pain, you may have lost hope, but if you stay in the presence of the lord he will turn it all to “ JOY” and as you have stayed the course and did not become weary you will inherit the greatest reward “ Well done, my humble and faithful servant”

Luke 1: 45-48: Blessed is she who has believed that the lord would fulfill his promises to her” And Mary said “ My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of the servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed.

Mathew 4:4: “ It is written : “ Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God”

God has the Final Say !

Ex 23:25...........serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you.




Prov 16:24.........Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.



As I write these words in my spirit I feel the warmth and the presence of the Lord. The times that we are in the lords children are feeling the spiritual warfare.
 
We must hold on to the word and the promise of God, just like the Lord used Moses to deliver the Israelites out of Egpyt, he will lead us out of the lies of the world.
 
We may not understand all that the lord is doing but he is with us no matter what. I have learned through the testing of our faith the lord is seeking out the Faith and the Power in the miracle for us to speak into our lives wellness and healing.
 
Who we serve is a mighty man of God and he has given us the greatest gift of all, and that is the Cross. The blood will wear our burdens the whips will heal our pain and the nails put in place our eternal resting place.
 
I speak this prayer to all of the lords children, that we will not be defeated, cling to the lords promise rest in his word, trust his plan and remember " It's not over until God says it's over"

Jesus Is " I AM"

Jesus is “ I AM” Exo 3:13-15 KJV And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? (14) And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM : and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. (15) And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. Holy Spirit Dictated By April: For what I am about to speak comes from the source of all knowing that when the moment of truth comes within your soul, you will now allow me to have full control. No, more just doing what you have wanted to do, now you will start to allow me to have full and complete control of your life. When I made the call to have you follow me, I did not say that it would be easy, it was for you to count the cost. Matt 10:34-37 Following Christ may cost someone his family. This happens a lot especially in other countries, Some may choose to ignore the gospel in order to retain their family relationships Rom 12:2 James 4:4 We must stop following the pattern of this world. The worlds pattern includes a focus on material things, money, pleasure and winning. James 4:13-15 When we follow Christ we give up our will and start to seek his will for each aspect or decision we make in our life. Joshua 24:15 When we follow Christ we choose to serve God not ourselves or not other men “ I AM” The source of truth and in the truth that you will obtain from me you will be set free from the strongholds that have been placed upon you. I will make you in the likeness of my son and I will give you the humble heart and spirit to rise above the world and it’s tactics of mind destruction. When you come into the agreement of me, you will start to see your life unfold in ways that only “ I” can bring to you. You are my child and the seeds of Abraham have been placed within my children that follow and “ obey” me. Obedience to the great “ I AM” is not the obedience that we take from the world: Joshua 1:8 “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success” I am here to give you eternal life, I am here to show you that life is a lot more bearable when you surrender to me. Daily you are starting to feel the shift in your inner being that is causing you to want to step out of the laws of the world, it is time to ground yourself in a church, a body of believers that will guide you and continue to instruct the knowledge of wisdom into your heart. I did not place you here to walk alone, be not afraid of following me, the things you may loose will be given to you in a new light. My Light : Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 As you begin to feel my presence in a divine way you will start to see miraculous wonders before you, do not be afraid. I am placing a new heart within you and it will allow you to expand the wonders of this precious life that I have given onto you. I will start to provide and meet all of your needs “ according to my will”. Allow me to lead, allow me to have control, trust and lean not on your human understanding, receive in the heart of the “ Holy Spirit” do not try and make the world understand who you are, your role is to show me out into the world. The way that you let my light shine is by your humbleness, your meekness and your willingness to give your own life away so I can shine through you. Love has always been my message to you my children to serve and bless one another with your Christ hearts and to be willing to lay down ones life for his brother or sister, for it’s in the law that you would have troubles, but the love and support from the heart can lead that pain to “ JOY” A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need. Proverbs 17:17 You are my chosen children to whom I love and my love is for you to share with all. Place your fears away and be ready to see how I take care of my children who follow me. ( April’s words) I am truly honored to have been able to place to all of you, a message that has truly been placed from the heart and meditation and oneness with the lord, I will not edit this blog, at all based on following complete and total dictation of what was placed on my spirit to deliver to you. I will personally say, that life as we know it is changing drastically and this change is not one that should be feared, the lord is bringing freedom to his children, he is blessing us beyond our own mind comprehension. There is a miracle that is occurring and the more you believe within your heart and follow the lord and read his word you will start to see profound wonders before you. I am messenger of his light and I am honored to be able to share with you the love that God has for his children. We are blessed the Grace of God is upon us, and there is no limit to what the lord will do and is about to do for those who love him. Do not be surprised on the miracles that are about to take place, Please pray for one another and keep our nation in prayer that our leaders will start to lead from the word and not the world. “ FOR THERE IS AN ACCOUNTABLITY FOR FALSE PROPHETS AND FALSE USAGE OF THE WORD OF GOD” If the Gospel is to spread and take hold of mankind in all of its Power and Purity, then we must strive or contend valiantly "for the Truth" (Jeremiah 9:3) as it "is in Jesus" (Ephesians 4:21) against all that would hinder or destroy the Gospel and the Faith that all men should have toward the LORD, Who gave us the Good News of Redemption, Forgiveness of Sins, New Birth, Power Over Sin and Sinning, and Present Certainty of Eternal Life. In short, our "LORD Christ" (Colossians 3:24) has committed to us the defense and propagation of the "Truth of the Gospel" (Galatians 2:14) of the "Grace of God" (Acts 20:24), i.e., the "Gospel of your Salvation" (Ephesians 1:13), and continually gives us "all things that pertain unto Life and Godliness" (2Peter 1:3) by means of innumerable, "Exceeding Great and Precious Promises" (1:4), which enables us to live like Christ. “ This is a very sacred time and in the works of the lord he will do greatness in your life. Our mission is to live this life and love and do the work the lord has called us to do, and to turn from the world and follow God” The walk with God is truly the best walk one can take, it will lead you straight to the eternal destination” God bless you and keep Faith, Hope, and Believe first place in your life, and see what God will do “ obedience” is the key! Remember I love you, and so does God April Nicole

You can't serve the word and the world

“But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves” James 1:22 One of the hardest things about the walk with God is when you realize what you use to do, can’t be done if you want to be truly faithful to the lord. Now, I know many of you already would like a break down on what I just said. The moment that you decided to walk with God, you know longer walk according to your will, and you are now a servant of God. As a servant of Christ you have died to your old self, and you are now living a new life with Christ and in this life we are given commandments to follow. Many of us have a hard time having a balance of adjusting the old life to the new, and the fact of the matter is the old is gone. The moment you answered the call, it came with a price and in that price; you now decided that you can’t live two lives, one in the body of Christ and other in the body of the world. As children of God, the things that we once held on to that lead us down the wrong path was taken away once you chose to follow God. The walk with God is the greatest gift that we have, when we walk accordingly to the laws of Christ we see a change in all we do. Life is not about just getting by; it’s now centered on a purpose. You are now being given a life to serve, when we listen to the word it’s our key to arriving at our eternal destination. The reason why we come to God is based on the fact we realize that we are tired of doing things on our own. The lord is always there guiding us to the proper way of living with him, it’s our own free will if we choose to trust our own way. This is a season of change, more than ever we are being hungry for change, and that change is not coming from the materialism of the world, it’s coming from a place of spiritual belonging. “WE NEED GOD” God wants to take care of his children for he gave his son as a sacrifice so we can have eternal life. In this world we live in satan controls it, from fear, to jealousy, to greed, sexual immorality. The word gives us the nine fruits of the spirit: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. — Galatians 5:22-23 These are the fruits that are needed to be able to live the life of Christ and to live it in such a way that you will be able to see the direction of your life without the confusion of what the world dictates to you. You are a chosen somebody, you have been called to live a life that is free from the pain of the world, the lord did not say it would be easy, however he stated that “I will comfort you” Isaiah 4 1:10 It’s time to continue to set out on this journey with God, allow him to truly lead, do not let the world expose you to false truths, but stay in the word of God and continue to ask the lord to show you the way, even when you feel there is no way. This is a time in which we will start to see more revelations being shown to us, and this should not scare you, it should bring you even more closer to our Father. The lord is good and he has great plans for you, and there is nothing too big for God, for he is the alpha and the omega and he wants you to continue to follow him and give your life away, and see how he will use you toward Kingdom Greatness. Remember with God you come as you are to him, lay down your life, pray in the spirit and trust his word and in that obedience you will see your life completely change and the Faith that you have will bring you into good works that will not only change your life but those to whom the lord has placed before you. “Child this is your time” Remember that I love you and so does God!
