Is This Not The Hour?

Posted by Wendy Brooks on February 21, 2013 in ABOLITION, GOOD NEWS, HEADLINES

Is this not the hour?

Is this not the hour, where the injustice of slavery still exists?
Is this not the time to adorn the mantle of unity to mobilize a city, to mobilize a state, to ignite a nation?
If not now, then when?

When will the shackles of racism be unlocked, melted down, then forged into weapons to fight the real war?
We are in a very real war that does not discriminate, and crosses all racial and ethnic lines while brandishing a perverse spirit of hate.
This is a war which profits from the use, abuse, and bondage of human lives.

Is this not the hour, to confront the real enemy who operates in the dawn of the day, as well as in the shadows of the night?
Is this not the day for the church of the living God to awaken and arise from their slumber?
A complacent slumber which has paralyzed and anesthetized the church from seeing the strip club in operation just one block over.
It’s definitely not a black thing or a white thing or a tan thing, this is a God thing, its a Kingdom thing, moreover it’s a Freedom thing!
Is not the Gospel, a prolific message of true freedom?
Does God’s Word not say that it is “the truth that will make you free.”
Therefore, is this not the hour for the lies to cease, and the truth to prevail?
If not now, then when?

If Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; then how can we expect the ending of slavery to come by any other means except through Him?
And how will the world know, if we “the church” don’t tell them and show them by truly representing Him.

This is not simply a “me” thing or a “you” thing. This has to be a “WE” thing.
It is “We”, The Church, who must first unite.
On a global front it is “We” – The Church – who have been chosen to carry this beacon of light.
Just like you would never think of taking a knife to a gun fight;
We will never abolish modern-day slavery without Jesus.
Because neither He nor I will rest until every injustice is met with justice, and all things are set perfect in His sight.

Take Two Steps

Posted by Wendy Brooks on February 20, 2013 in BOOK REVIEWS, GOOD NEWS, HEADLINES

Good Morning!!!

Ok, first things first, I admit that I have not been posting regularly like I should.

The Reason: I have been working on…(drum roll)… ME.

The Lord has had me in a particular place, and that’s where I’ve been camping out.

I’ve devoted much time to seeking Him, and spending time in His Word. I realized that I needed to hit the pause button on some things, and work on certain areas of my life that needed “revitalization.”

Which brings me to this point, when was the last time you reflected on where you are presently and where you are looking to go in the near future. Of course we can always make plans, but just like Proverbs 16:9 says – “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” (NLT)

So why not take a few moments and reflect on where you are.

Then take these two steps:

1. If you are not where you need to be then ask The Lord what steps you need to take to get to your destination.

2. Invest in some resources or browse the many free resources and eBooks which are available on topics you need wisdom or inspiration on.

In the end you will be happier and healthier as well as closer to your destination.

_________________________________________

Here’s two FREE ebook devotionals that I recommend from an AWESOME blog that I discovered entitled:

The Time-Warp Wife: empowering wives to joyfully serve

http://www.time-warp-wife.blogspot.ca/2012/03/free-ebook-life-application-bible-study.html

I highly suggest you subscribed to her blog. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Her content impacts your heart, and inspires wives to keep on keeping on.

Until next time…keep climbing.

Follow The Leader

Posted by Wendy Brooks on January 24, 2013 in GOOD NEWS, HEADLINES, INSPIRATION

“Real leaders are ordinary people with extraordinary determination.” – Author Unknown

jumping hiker

On this evening, I began to reflect just how far The Lord has brought me on this journey. The past five years have proven to be some of the most exciting and fulfilling years of my life.

The only way I got here is because I made a decision to Follow The Leader.

That leader being first and foremost…The Lord. I made a decision several years ago to put Him first in ALL THINGS! When I did that, then He took care of ALL of the other stuff while I was doing HIS stuff.

I have had the opportunity to travel both near and far, and walk out my dreams and aspirations one step at a time. Because of my conscious decision to follow The Leader, I have saved myself from a lot of unnecessary detours.

You can do the same thing.

Your dreams are waiting on you to walk them out.

Just make a decision to follow The Leader.

Book Review on “Missional Moves” by: Rob Wegner and Jack Magruder

Posted by Wendy Brooks on December 5, 2012 in BOOK REVIEWS, GOOD NEWS, MISSIONS

Being a missionary and a modern-day abolitionist, I have a tendency to seek out books that are “mission minded.” Missions is a topic we often hear spoken of in churches. However, most of what you hear just barely grazes the surface, and does not really get to the heart of missions. As born again believers, the Great ComMISSION is God’s heartbeat, and therefore it should most definitely be our heartbeat if we are truly residing in Christ. After receiving this book for review, I immediately dug into it with hopes that it would be more that just a surface level discussion of “missions.” My expectations were certainly met and even exceeded, as “Missional Moves” is a blueprint that should be in the hands of every missionary, mission director, pastor, and director for NGO’s (Non-governmental organization) which carry out missions throughout the world. This comprehensive resource fills a void which has existed in the Kingdom of God, until now. Most mission books in circulation paint a very limited picture of what it actually means to “Go.” For the most part, very few authors outline the significance and importance that God places on diversity. This book does a fabulous job in bringing the reader into the understanding of the need to have a Kingdom perspective and achieving global understanding of every tribe in every nation.

“Missional Moves” unfolds the apostolic movement which is actually now being re-established in the Body of Christ around the world. There has never been a greater time to be alive than right now. Achieving the Great CoMISSION is all about bringing glory to the Father. We are to partner with Him, hence Co-Mission, in spreading the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Before I put a stamp of recommendation on a book it has to speak what The Lord is speaking. This book my friends does just that! This book has God’s fingerprints all over it. I would recommend you get a copy for yourself, and get a copy to give to your pastor or fellow missions director. This book should be required reading for anyone who feels “called” to missions.
I want to end with a very profound statement in the book which should serve as a wake-up call for believers around the world. May it empower you to move forward with what The Lord has called you to do.

["But right now, as the most important game in the world is being played, the church is preparing for the final play of the game. The ball is within reach of the end zone, yet most of the players are clueless about where they are on the field, what position they play, and how much time is left on the clock. Many of them do not even realize that the game is on the line.The arena they play in? The nations of the world. The end zone? The finish of the Great Commission. The team? Every member of the church."] (p.74) – Missional Moves

l think John of Patmos pretty much sums it up when he wrote this in Revelation chapter 1 verse 3; from the Message translation is reads:
“How blessed the reader! How blessed the hearers and keepers of these oracle words, all the words written in this book! (referring to the Bible)
Time is just about up.”

I’m on a mission.

Posted by Wendy Brooks on September 4, 2012 in WRITING

I’m declaring today, right now, at this moment….. I’m on a mission.

Not just any mission.

A mission to finish 2012, with one specific thing marked off my to-do list.

The one specific task I’m on a mission to finish is my book.

Well, I have a problem calling it “my book,” because it’s definitely the Lord’s project. He just so graciously decided to pull me in to work on it and get it into print.

I began to wonder last night, just how the original authors of various books of The Bible must have felt while they penned divine Words from the Lord.

I wonder …….if they felt the same sense of reverence I feel when I write under the unction of Holy Spirit.

I wonder …….when the overwhelming sense of the Father’s love overshadowed them, did tears start to stream down their face onto their written page.

I wonder …….if they knew just what immeasurable impact the words they wrote would have on countless lives around the world.

Perhaps the Father gave them a glimpse of their future, and they knew they were on a mission to get those words recorded.

So that is why I’m on a mission. The Father’s only given me a glimpse, but I must be obedient to follow through with what He has given me to do.

In the end….I am not my own. 

So whatsoever it is that He has given you to do, do it!

“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?” – 1 Corinthians 6:19 (NKJV)

Hebrews 12 Prayer

Posted by Wendy Brooks on August 31, 2012 in ISRAEL, PRAYER, RESOURCES

(Prayer based on Hebrews 12 starting at verse 22- spoken through  Dr. Billye Brim while praying on August 22, 2012 for an “Awakening to God” in our land on her Noon Time Prayer LIVE BROADCAST. You can join myself and the other WWP’s (World Wide Pray-ers) every Wednesday at NOON CST, 1:00PM EST by clicking HERE or you can tune in anytime to the ARCHIVES.

______________________________________

Hebrews 12 Prayer for an Awakening to God in our Land

We are come to Mt. Zion and unto the city of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem.

And we are come to an enumerable company of angels.

We’ve come to the general assembly, the Church of the first born, the new born which are written in Heaven.

We’re coming to the spirits of just been made perfect. And we’ve got a great lawyer, Jesus, who’s the mediator of the covenant we work with, a new covenant signed with His own Blood. And we’ve come to that Blood, the Blood of sprinkling and that Blood speaks. Speaking Blood that intercedes for us. We’ve got the Holy Ghost as an intercessor. We’ve got the Lord Jesus as an intercessor, and there’s another one- THE BLOOD.

The Blood of Jesus is speaking on your behalf and mine. We’ve come to the sprinkled Blood that speaks better things than that of Abel. And we’re going to see that we refuse not Him that speaks from Heaven.

We come to You, Father, with reverence and awe, and we have been placed here. You’ve placed each one of us pray-ers in a particular country and in a particular nation. 

We, new creations, are to be Ambassadors. We (Philippians 3:20) are citizens of Heaven, here’s where we do business.

We’re part of the government of Heaven. You’ve stationed us right here Lord in the United States of America for an Awakening to God. And Father we ask that if we have not prayed as we ought, please forgive us, and help us pray with the faith and the fervor and the utterance that You give.

You have words that You want to be spoken in the Earth concerning the United States of America, and You speak them through Your Body. So we’re asking You and we give our mouths up to You, and we’re asking for You to give utterance to all peoples praying, and we’re praying together.

Peoples, You have called, we’re all meeting together there at the throne, and we’re asking You Father to help us. We’re not ready to give up. We want a President who blessed Israel, but Number 1 who will honor You, who is given to You. Father we know You can change men. If You have to change them and rearrange them or if You have to push them out and give us new ones — We want the RIGHTEOUS TO REIGN! 

Only one person can straighten it out and that’s You Our Lord, and Savior, the Head of The Church, God in us. We’re asking You to give us what would make us have the Best in these days. Father we want things changed. So we’re asking You to give us words in the spirit to pray right now, and unction to pray for the United States of America, and Awakening to God in this land, from Washington D.C. on down, and every person praying is praying for their lands and geographical regions. 

Give us utterance to pray Lord, in Jesus Name, Amen. 

Let us pray…speaking in Holy Spirit inspired tongues and utterance.

13 Christian Ethics are Listed in The Bible

Posted by Wendy Brooks on August 30, 2012 in RESOURCES

Ethics is defined as a system of moral principles or the rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group, culture, etc. (Dictionary.com)

As a nurse I know we have a Code of Ethics which defines what nurses as a whole should strive to uphold. A code of ethics should reflect who we are, and how what we do should impact others.

As a Christian, I wondered if I could find our code of ethics somewhere in the Word of God. Holy Spirit led me to Romans Chapter 12 verses 9-21, and there it was – Our Christian Ethical Code.

The following list describes each of the 13 ethical points. I think these are worth printing out and posting on your fridge, in your office, or in your cubical at work.

(Based on Romans Chapter 12 verses 9-21 – Amplified Version)

1. Let your love be sincere (a real thing); hate what is evil [loathe all ungodliness, turn in horror from wickedness], but hold fast to that which is good. (Rom.12:9)

2. Love one another with brotherly affection [as members of one family], giving precedence and showing honor to one another. (Rom.12:10)

3. Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavor; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord. (Rom.12:11)

4. Rejoice and exult in hope; be steadfast and patient in suffering and tribulation; be constant in prayer. (Rom.12:12)

5. Contribute to the needs of God’s people [sharing in the necessities of the saints]; pursue the practice of hospitality. (Rom.12:13)

6. Bless those who persecute you [who are cruel in their attitude toward you]; bless and do not curse them. (Rom.12:14)

7. Rejoice with those who rejoice [sharing others' joy], and weep with those who weep [sharing others' grief]. (Rom.12:15)

8. Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty (snobbish, high-minded, exclusive), but readily adjust yourself to [people, things] and give yourselves to humble tasks. Never overestimate yourself or be wise in your own conceits. (Rom.12:16)

9. Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is honest and proper and noble [aiming to be above reproach] in the sight of everyone. (Rom.12:17)

10. If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. (Rom.12:18)

11. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for [God's] wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord. (Rom.12:19)

12. But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head. (Rom.12:20)

13. Do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome (master) evil with good.  (Rom.12:21)

A Word From The Lord- From Dr. Billye Brim

Posted by Wendy Brooks on August 29, 2012 in PROPHETIC WORDS

In June 2008, this Word from the Lord was released through Dr. Billye Brim. Now that we are in our election window again, this Word is definitely relevant for the times we are living in.

“One thing will save America,

  And it is not the election.

  It is an Awakening to God.

  One thing will avail for Israel and the Nations,

  It is an Awakening to God.” 

 (Prophetic Word from the Lord given through Sis. Billye Brim- June 2008)

Prayer For Spiritual Power

Posted by Wendy Brooks on August 29, 2012 in PRAYER, RESOURCES

(Based on Ephesians 3:16-21)

I pray that He (the Lord) may grant me, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with POWER through His Spirit in my inner man, and that the Messiah may dwell in my hearts through faith.

I pray that I am, being rooted and firmly established in LOVE, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of GOD’S LOVE, and that I will know the Messiah’s LOVE that surpasses knowledge, so I may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now to Him who is able to do ABOVE and BEYOND ALL that I ask or think–according to the POWER that works within me–to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Having Surgery Taught Me 3 Life Lessons

Posted by Wendy Brooks on August 28, 2012 in GOOD NEWS, INSPIRATION

Perhaps some of my readers may have wondered where I have been.

Well… I underwent surgery. All in all it was a fairly serious ordeal. (which I suppose surgery in itself carries the word serious in itself)

But PRAISE GOD I can report that I feel so much better now that my problem has been fixed, and the pain which I was enduring on a daily basis is gone.

Having this surgery taught me 3 Life Lessons, which I wanted to share with you.

1. God is still in the miracle working business.
My surgeon (who was a true Man of God that believed in the power of prayer) had prepared me for the worse case scenario because thats part of his job requirement. He was happy to report to me after the surgery that “it appeared that someone had already started to clean up the mess that my abdomen was in.” We knew it was nothing other than the hand of God.

2. The Lord will use anything or anyone to speak into your life at any given time.
At my first post-op visit, 5 days after surgery. My surgeon let me know that he had to remove my “suspicious” appendix, because he would hate for me to be somewhere in Thailand and my appendix decide to burst.

3. Never take your health for granted.
I did not realize how much daily pain I had been enduring since the beginning of this year. Nurses are usually the worse for seeking treatment when something goes wrong. Yep that would be me. Even as a Christian and as a nurse, I do firmly believe in the divine power of God to heal and restore. Sometimes we are to do the practical things in addition to believing by faith that we are healed. I did both. I encourage you to do the same.

In the END… I learned just how critical it is to make each moment of your life count. You never know when tomorrow could be your last day.

Live on purpose with the END result in FOCUS. Make your mark on this world.
Make things happen. Bless others. Give and give some more.
And whatever you do…do it in love.

Here’s a few candid shots from the major ordeal which is now behind me! Praise God!

Surprises

Posted by Wendy Brooks on August 7, 2012 in INSPIRATION

 

Life is full of surprises.

Some good and some not so good.

I choose to focus only on the good surprises in life.

Things like:

- a unexpected visit from a old friend

- an unexpected check in the mail

- an invite for a spur of the moment road trip

Several years ago I made a choice to walk in great expectation everyday.

I noticed that when I expected surprises to happen… then they did!

Surprises know my address. I receive them on a regular basis, because I expect them to show up.

The God I serve loves surprising His children. As a child of God we are entitled to His benefit plan. It is a plan set up to bless us now and into eternity.

The Lord knows who He created us to be. He knows our needs, wants, and deepest desires.

His Word says in Psalm 37:4

Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. (KJV)

So what are you expecting to receive today?

5 Critical Books Every “Pray-er” Needs To Read

Posted by Wendy Brooks on July 24, 2012 in INTERCESSION, PRAYER, RESOURCES

Another word for an intercessor is a “pray-er.

A “pray-er” knows the importance of prayer.

Prayer is THE MOST POWERFUL thing you can do in any situation or circumstance.

Whether you are a new Christian or have been born again for many years, there are

5 critical books every “pray-er” needs to read. I recommend purchasing these books to add to your home library. Then you will be able to refer to them often.

1. The Bible – obviously the Word of God must be first on this list. This is the first and foremost resource for your daily prayer life.

2. The Authority Of The Believer- by: John A. MacMillan

(A Classic which includes “The Authority of the Intercessor” and “Encounter with Darkness”)

3. The Blood And The Glory- by: Dr. Billye Brim

Goals

Posted by Wendy Brooks on July 12, 2012 in GOOD NEWS, INSPIRATION, RESOURCES, WRITING

Today I came across a quote that I wanted to share.

“Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to FOCUS it. That is what goals can do for us; concentrate our energy.” — Denis Waitley

There are only 24 hours in a day. It is important that we be good stewards of the time God has given us. So whether you work in ministry or in a 9-to-5 position, goals will help you maximize the life we have been given.

I went many years wandering aimlessly, and wondering why I was not getting anywhere. One of the main reasons was because I did not have any set goals. I had good intentions. However I had no recognizable “fruit” as evidence that I was doing what the Lord had given me to do. More importantly I felt as if perhaps I was short changing God, and not using the giftings He had placed inside of me.

A very wise and anointed Woman of God (who happens to be my Spiritual Mom-Co-Pastor Elena Robertson) once explained to me the importance of having different goal categories. For instance, have personal goals as well as family goals. Also, she shared the importance of not having too many goals to try and FOCUS on at one time. Start with three goals, and FOCUS on completing just those three. Then once those first three goals are complete, then you can set three more goals to work towards finishing

So I put her wisdom into practice.

This is what I learned.

A goal must have 2 things:

1. Be Specific: write out exactly what you aim to do

2. Be Measurable: have a target completion date

Once you start working on something, then God can get in there with you adding His divine assistance. If you’re not working on anything or pursuing anything, how can He assist you?

In the END, I came up with my own motto.

~Do your best, and God will do the rest. ~

So far this is working out pretty good for me. I challenge you to set three goals of your own. Then let others know by commenting below. Or if you have other tips or suggestions regarding setting goals, share it here.

Ok ….so it has been awhile since I posted.  I have actually been working on several projects, enjoying time with my family and friends; and you know what? It’s ok. I decided I needed time to breathe.

The longer I live the more I realize that in the end there are 3 things in life which you must have on a regular basis.

#1 – Love

#2 – Rest

#3 – A Time to breathe

Having “time to breathe” means having that period of uninterrupted time for yourself. It’s having a day or a series of consecutive days where you can do absolutely nothing should you choose to.

Breathing is more than just the action of inhaling and exhaling. It is allowing your mind to dream. Let your thoughts expand to embrace the future. It’s a time to reflect on what you would like to improve on, as well as what you need to let go.

So as we enter into the new season of summer, take a time to breathe. Schedule a day or two or three off from your usual daily routine, and a take time to breathe. It’s the best thing you can do for yourself and for others.

Now if you already take time to breathe, I’d love for you to share just how you spend your “breathing time.” Where do you go, what do you do or not do during that time. Share your suggestions with others so they too can benefit from having some  of their own.

“Get Your House in Order: A 21 Day Journey To Breakthrough Victory” written by Melissa Ann Fisher

Posted by Wendy Brooks on January 29, 2013 in BOOK REVIEWS, GOOD NEWS, HEADLINES, RESOURCES

20130129-105642.jpg

This is more than an eBook, this is a powerful tool to jumpstart your life in the right direction or get it back on track. The author Melissa Fisher, delivers a transparent and genuine 21-day devotional style message which we all need to grab ahold of, “Get Your House In Order.” Sometimes as believers we lose track of where we are in relation to everything going on around us and in our lives. Speaking from experience, we all too often assist the enemy in destroying our health by putting the “wrong” things in our bodies. We permit confusion and chaos to abide right there beside of us with disorganized homes and disorganized finances. Fisher’s enthusiasm to see the reader experience the same measure of victory and breakthrough which she herself has experienced is clearly conveyed in each daily dose of impartation. If you serve in ministry and you feel like your life is out of balance, or you sense that things are just not going in the direction they should be going, then I highly recommend you download this book. Melissa Fisher carries a voice that God is using to impart into pioneers, world-changers, and history-makers. God is a God of order. So if you consider yourself in one of those three categories (pioneers, world-changers, & history-makers) then “Get Your House In Order- A 21 Day Journey to Breakthrough Victory” must be at the top of your required reading list.
