And I will not loosen my grip on your life!”
So we can say with great confidence:
“I know the Lord is for me and I will never be afraid of what people may do to me!”

AND the Last Sentence of The Song!!!! (won't give away the lyrics)....when ole boy hits *The* Note.......Oh Yeah!! Done Fork!!

A PRAYER:
Loves, I'm ALWAYS lifting Our World-wide Family in Prayer but every so often, I feel it's Necessary, I feel it's Essential for Us to Touch and Agree in Prayer. So as we enter into 2017, A Year of New Beginnings (with "17" Biblically meaning "Victory"), let's go humbly and boldly together to Our Heavenly Father in Prayer.  Please give me your hands, close your eyes and bow your heads........

Father God, I come to you Right Now Lord, lifting up each and every one of Your Mona Girl Blog Family. Asking for PEACE in their Lives........COMFORT in their Lives........LOVE in their Lives........Godly WISDOM in their Lives.......STRENGTH in their Lives.....COURAGE to face whatever comes their way in their Lives........JOY & HAPPINESS in their Lives.....A KNOWING that "This Too Shall Pass" in their Lives........A REMOVAL of Fleshly Distractions so they have Your Divine Clarity in their Lives......A PASSION to follow Your Will & Your Word in their Lives.....A SPIRIT of Gratitude & Thanksgiving in their Lives......A BEYOND Ephesians 3:20 Attitude of Hope and Expectancy in their Lives (Ephesians 3:20).....A DEEP YEARNING for an Authentic Personal Relationship with You in their Lives. I Pray, Father God, that as We move out of 2016 and into 2017, that Blessings and Rewards and God-Ordained Promotions will chase them down and over take them and their Families.  I Pray, as they continue to Walk Out or are just beginning to Walk Out their Faith, that they do so with Compassion, Love and Kindness for other's Hearts and Souls.  I Pray that Doing Your Will and Hearing Your Voice will become a PRIORITY in 2017 like never before! I Pray the negative and toxic character traits of Pride, Ego, Gossip, Bullying, Anger, Bitterness, Depression, Fear, Jealousy, Envy and Unforgiveness be left behind in 2016 and replaced with FAITH, Self-Confidence, Positive Self-Esteem, Self-Love, Healthy Life Mindset, Self-Control, Generosity, Humility, Love, Encouragement, Inner Peace, Gentleness, Celebrating Others and a Genuine Desire to Serve/Help/Reach Out to Others like Jesus. I Pray for a New and Fresh Anointing of Ideas and Creativity and the Restoration and Resurrection of dormant Dreams and Desires that You've placed in their Hearts.  And I Pray for Healing and the Fullness of Your Kingdom Provision and Resources in Every Area of their Lives!! I ask All these things and Now Thank YOU Father God that they're already Done in the Mighty and Matchless Name of Our Wonderful Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen! Amen! Amen!

LET HIM........!!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

Wheweeee!! Just a *heads up*.......I'M ON FULL THROTTLE with this Mighty Word Holy Spirit is downloading for Us today!!! So cut me some slack if I'm a tad "all over the place" and just to be safe, you better Buckle Up......this is going to be an Amazing The-Wednesday-before-CHRISTmas Read!!!

OK! Breathe Mona.........Breathe!! OK!! Sharing with You below a POWERFUL Word from one of my Fave Ministries - The Passion Translation.  All I have to say is Pleeeez LET EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY SYLLABLE SINK DEEEEEEP INTO YOUR HEART & SOUL........and I'll meet you on the other side after the Read :)

LET HIM

"Let Him smother me with kisses, Your Spirit-kiss divine." (Song of Songs 1:2, The Passion Translation)

What a wonderful way to begin your journey into God’s heart! There is no striving or heavy burden with those two words…"Let Him"

We begin with yielding our hearts to Him and simply Let Him be everything to us. 

Let Him be your strength today!

Let Him be the One to hold you fast today!

Let Him open the door for you into His love!

Let Him carry every burden and care that is unbearable for you!

So easy, so good to daily Let Him be your all. To go further into Christ’s love does not mean you have to struggle, or painfully push yourself forward.

He cares more about you than anyone. We move forward when we Let Him smother us with kisses and simply respond to his love.

To enter the doorway of Jesus' heart we must begin by saying, "Let Him."

We only bring him a yielded heart and must "Let Him" do the rest. God's loving grace means that he will be enough for us. We can "Let Him" be everything to us. We don't begin by doing but by yielding.

Pray this prayer:
Lord, so many times I thought the burden was on me to advance and grow in love. But in fact, your love is what opens my heart for more! I rest in your love today and I calmly yield to every new revelation you give me.  Smother me with your kisses until I am drawn deeper in your love. I give you every burden of my heart and every passion of my soul. I delight to let you be everything to me.  In Jesus Name, Amen.

OH Yeah Loves!! What do you think?!? Are You as pumped as I am (or not so much - LOL!).  I just can't shake the MAGNIFICENCE of LET HIM!! Only Two Words that pack sooooo much POWER & AWE & TRUTH!!  As I was reading this for the umpteenth time........I got my own list of LET HIM'S brewing and got even more excited.........SHARING:

Let Him Be OUR REASON FOR THE SEASON......the GREATEST GIFT of all!

Let Him be Our PEACE!

Let Him come into Our lives as Jesus the Babe, Jesus the Son and Jesus Our SAVIOUR!

Let Him be the Reason we RECEIVE, BELIEVE, DAILY WALK OUT and SHARE the Good News of  John 3:16

Let Him be Our Way, Our Truth and Our Light! John 14:6

Let Him show You Who you REALLY are and Whose You Are! 2 Corinthians 5:16-20

Let Him be The ONE who fills the void in Our lives, who fills the hole in Our Hearts!

Let Him be EMMANUEL (God with Us)!

Let Him be Lord God in Our lives......Our Priority......OUR EVERYTHING!

Family, I could go On and On and On but am gonna shut it down now and give *YOU* a chance to share in the comments below Your LET HIM'S with Us.

And for the Mona Girl Blog Family who Celebrate, Honor and Give Glory to God for CHRISTmas.......I wish You and Your Family a VERY MERRY BLESSED CHRISTMAS!!

And I urge you to pause, take a selah moment and just REMEMBER THE **REAL** REASON FOR THE SEASON......the Bestest CHRISTmas Gift of All......the Birth of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!

And (this is the last "And", I promise)......before I let you go........drink in this version of "O Holy Night"....as my Mommy used to say......NO ONE does it Better than The Queen of Gospel........

**Oh Yeah! Ear Buds In....MAX Volume**

Continued Success & Abundant Blessings!!

FUEL FOR YOUR SOUL......#HISWord!!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

As we are smack dab in the midst of this CHRISTmas...Holiday Season, I felt a nudge in my Heart (Thanks Holy Spirit) to share with YOU a few Scriptures that have been riding shotgun with me lately.

You can add these Words from Our Lord to your Holiday Arsenal to help ward off feelings of anxiety, stress, insecurity, family & friend DRAMA, hopelessness, despair, negativity.........Yeah! You KNOW!  

It's hard, especially at CHRISTmas time, with ALL the trivial stuff that's replaced the **REAL REASON FOR THE SEASON**, to maintain our Daily Positive Attitude.  But, I have a Solution, I've got the Fix, I've got something for what ails Ya......and it's soothing to Your Heart, Mind and Soul!!

You know what it is? No, NO....not The Ginger Rub Massage at Bliss SoHo (but that's definitely a great supplement to my suggestion though).......but.No! No! 

What I'm suggesting is some FUEL FOR YOUR SOUL....#HISWord!!

It's FREE, It's Nourishing, It's Uplifting, It's Positive, It's Inspiring, It's Loving, It's Contagious, It's Priceless.......It's THE ONLY ANSWER!! 

So Loves, I've listed below "8" Scriptures ("8" Biblically meaning "New Beginning") that've been riding shotgun with me this Holiday Season......"8" #HISWords to FUEL YOUR SOUL!!

So when the trivial stuff that's Not the **REAL REASON FOR THE SEASON** begins to creep in, go to your CHRISTmas Arsenal and Pow, Bang, Woosh those thoughts right out of your Mind, Heart and Soul!!


**Note: Mona Emphasis added to some of the Scriptures...just can't help myself with the "CAP key" (smile)

The Lord answered, "I can do ANYTHING! Watch and you'll see my words come true." (Numbers 11:23, CEV)

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another." (John 13:34, NKJV)

"Bless those who curse you.  Pray for those who hurt you." (Luke 6:28, NLT)

"Here's what I've learned through it all: Don't give up; don't be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord.  Be brave, courageous, and NEVER lose hope.  Yes, keep on waiting- for He will NEVER disappoint You!" (Psalm 27:14, The Passion Translation)

"I know the GREATNESS of the Lord." (Psalm 135:5, NLT)

"God can do ANYTHING, you know - far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams!  He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us." (Ephesians 3:20, MSG)

**And these Last Two POWERFUL Scriptures are CHRISTmas oriented (what Mary, Jesus' Mother, replied to the Angel giving her the heads up on Who she was and Who she would give Birth to!!) but sooooo Good Anytime of the Year!!

"For NOTHING is impossible with God." (Luke 1:37, NLT)

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and His name shall be called WONDERFUL, COUNSELLOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE." (Isaiah 9:6, KJV)

Loves, I PRAY these "8" #HISWords give you FUEL FOR YOUR SOUL during this CHRISTmas Season and BEYOND!!!

And before I let you go, one more thing to give you Peaceful and Comforting thoughts as you drift off to sleep or during your times of mediation/soaking with HIM.......a soothing, Awesome Video I "stumbled upon" on YouTube that I've added to My Holy Arsenal (Thanks Holy Spirit)!

"I have not stopped giving THANKS to  God for you.  I remember you in my prayers." (Ephesians 1:16, GNT)  

Family, enjoy this Beautiful, God's Mighty Hand All-Up-In-the-Mix Christmas Word! Love you LOVES!

JOSEPH

Invite your friends to sign up for “Christmas Joy” here.

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. — Matthew 1:18-19

We know so little about Joseph. He is only mentioned in the birth and childhood stories of Jesus. He was named after an ancient patriarch who used his success in Egypt to save his family and a future nation. Joseph was a carpenter who lived in the town of Nazareth. His ancestors were from Bethlehem. So when a Roman ruler, Caesar Augustus, wanted to take a census, Joseph had to go back to Bethlehem even though his wife was well along in her pregnancy.

The most important thing we know about Joseph is that when the time called for it, he displayed great faith and grace. He found out that the woman to whom he was engaged to be married was pregnant. While Mary had the benefit of an angel to explain her unique conception, Joseph had not been visited yet. All he had was Mary’s word. So what was that conversation like? No, she hadn’t slept with another man. Yes, she was pregnant. And yes, a spiritual being had told her she would conceive by a unique act of God. And as if that weren’t enough—the child in her womb would be the Savior of the world.

Why did Joseph believe her? Why did he change his first plans to quietly divorce her so as not to expose her to public shame? (Engagements were so serious back then that to break one off amounted to getting a divorce.) If you were in his shoes, would you have believed Mary?

Here is something for all of us to think about at Christmas. Think of Joseph. Think of him looking into Mary’s eyes, hearing her account, knowing in his heart of hearts it’s true, and having the courage to act on that faith even though he may have had doubts. As nonsensical as it seemed, he believed it. As much as the idea of a virginal conception violates both logic and science (even the rudimentary science of a millennia ago), Joseph knew it was possible with God. As risky as it was to stay with Mary and be branded by others as the hapless dupe of an immoral woman, Joseph decided to take that leap of faith.

That is true faith. It wasn’t just that he trusted Mary. Joseph trusted God—that God could, that God might, that God would.

Prayer for today:

God, give me Joseph’s courage and iron-strong faith. Give me faith to believe that, at the birth of Jesus, you really did enter this world—my world—and you’re still working powerfully in it.

BE GRATEFUL!!........BE THANKFUL!!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

For our Family in the United States, we're at the Wednesday before one of the biggest Holidays of the Year - THANKSGIVING! A day of gathering with Family and Friends, eating lots and lots of food (the signature meat being Turkey), some Volunteer and serve Thanksgiving Meals to the less fortunate, watching American Football (usually a Game featuring the Dallas Cowboys), and if it's on the agenda.......GIVING THANKS!! Ooops, I forgot one other thing......it's also a time that some folks head out after dinner to start their Christmas Shopping. Yeah, I think I got 'em all. 

But Mona's Fave thing on the list to do is to GIVE THANKS!! And Loves, I look at THANKSGIVING DAY as an Every Day thing to do.........not just on the last Thursday in November. And I know there are lots of You who feel and do the same.

Soooooo, staying in the THANKSGIVING lane.....today's Mona Girl Blog is about giving a Big Shout Out to a beautiful Sister who I just met (Thanks Jo Anne for the Divine Connection!!). Her name is Tamika.  She lives in New York and she is Completely, Fully, Entirely, Absolutely, Genuinely, Authentically HIS! She Walks the Walk! Talks the Talk! SHE'S AN UBER SAINT WITH A PURE HEART FOR OUR LORD! 

She's My Inspiration!  She's NOT a Pretender! Tamika's the REAL DEAL and She Powerfully LIVES..... 

"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.  I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.  I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.  I can do ALL things through Him who gives me strength." (Philippians 4:10-13, NIV)

And She Radiantly Walks Out DAILY.........

"I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.  But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14, NIV)

And She GIVES AWESOME TESTIMONIES LIKE THIS.........!!!!

God will always make a way when you have faith. He has Angels set up just just for you. Even when you're not looking He will place someone near you right on time. God I am so Thankful. When I thought there was no way you made a way. No I'm not out the woods BUT I'm grateful for the path of light you have shown me to know that everything will be alright. 

God I thank you for your many blessings seen and unseen. I thank you even in the midst of my storm. I thank you for another day. I thank you for health and the little bit of strength that I have on right now. Lord I bless your name. Lord I bless you for making a way. I thank you in advance for continuing to keep a roof over my head,food on my table,hot water,heat and clean clothes. Lord I am so grateful to you.Oh Lord I bless your name. You are so good to me. Even when I don't deserve your grace and mercy. You have spared me again.Oh Lord. I bless your name. Oh God. Lord my heart is so overwhelmed with both joy and sadness. I have the faith that you will make everything alright.This is the storm you have planned for me to have victory through. I PLAN to PASS THIS TEST, GOD! I will be Victorious through this storm. In Jesus name AMEN!!!!!

Whewee!  Yeah Loves, NOW can You see why I call her My Inspiration?!?  I get goosebumps each time I re-read her Powerful and Transparent Testimony!  Uh Huh! NUFF SAID! #DropTheMic!!!

Family, My PRAYER for ALL of Us this THANKSGIVING and EVERY DAY is that We BE GRATEFUL to God for what He has done, is doing and will do in Our Lives!  We should wake Every morning and BE THANKFUL for His Hand, His Blessings, His Favor, His Suddenlies, His Love in Our Lives!!

Happy Blessed THANKSGIVING Every Day to Our Mona Girl Blog Family!! Love You Loves!

(Thank You Paula for the Pic Quote!!)

TRUST HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Blessed Wednesday Family,

For the last few weeks, I've been **Walking Out Real Time** a Scripture that's at the top of the Bible's Greatest Hits List......a Scripture that's on the tip of the tongue of every True Word-Abider/Believer: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6, KJV)

TRUST HIM! No matter what our circumstances/situations look like in the natural, no matter what we are growing through, no matter what folks are saying about us. And We are to TRUST HIM WITH ALL THINE HEART! Not just the portion of our heart we parcel off and give to Our Lord because it's comfortable but We are to TRUST HIM WITH OUR ENTIRE HEART! OUR EVERYTHING!

Whewee Family! That's TRULY easier said than done!  Depending on the exact date and time, the foolishness of folks in our lives, the intensity of the Life Stuff that's hovering around (smile), that's a Tall Order from Our Lord!! But Thank God that's Not the end of this If/Then Scripture from Our Heavenly Father!

HE says If We TRUST HIM WITH ALL OUR HEART......Then HE WILL GUIDE US, DIRECT US, LEAD US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!  So If We do our part and do not give into our Will, our Wants, our Shenanigans of trying to fix things on our end (that's called Pride by the way) and Give Him the Glory! Give Him a Shout Out! Acknowledge Him as Our Ride or Die!.....Then He's Got Us!! And Loves, what an Awesome, Loving,  Peace-of-Mind **PROMISE** from Abba Father that gives Us the courage to Hold On.....that gives us the Bold Confidence to KNOW that We KNOW that We KNOW no matter the insurmountable, seemingly impossible task(s) Life throws our way or the "Stuff" that comes across our path, He's Got Us!

Commercial Break: And Family, if We Push Pause and just think about, reflect on ALL the Mighty Saints of God in the Bible who TRUSTED HIM! TRUSTED HIM WITH THEIR ENTIRE HEART!! Oh Yeah, the list is endless........Moses, Queen Esther, Mary (Jesus' Mother Mary), Jacob, Isaac, Joseph, King David, Rahab, Hannah, Ruth, Naomi, Job, Joshua, Caleb, Elijah, Elisha, Noah, Deborah, Elizabeth, Apostle Paul, the TWELVE DISCIPLES, The Woman with the Issue of Blood, The Samaritan Woman at the Well, Jeremiah, Sarah, Abraham, JESUS!!!!!! Whewee!! Google their names and You'll have a lifetime of Encouragement, Inspiration and CONFIRMATION on Why, **WHY** Family We Can, Should and Do TRUST HIM!!! 

Y'all know me and I LOVE to feel Your warm, around-the-globe energy, so Please say with me Right Now what thus saith the Lord because there's POWER in His Word when We speak it Together out loud: "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6, KJV) Oh Yeah! That's God Stuff! Thank You!! THANK YOU!!

Now Loves, if you haven't gotten your fill of today's Scripture, take a look at Proverbs 3:5-6, Message Version for an Icing on the Cake/Cherry On Top Read! Oh Yeah! Once again.... God Stuff!

Holy Spirit brought a read across my path earlier today (Thanks Shalawn!) that He's nudging me to drop in right here before we close out our time together.  I hope it gives You even more reason.....encourages You even more to continue to TRUST HIM!

There are benefits, advantages and promises directly correlated to one’s absolute TRUST in God. God loves each and every one of His children and just like a parent or guardian displays love and protection for their child, God abounds even more than that in our lives, because He has the resources, wisdom, knowledge and power to do more than we can ask, think or imagine. We are covered by the LORD regarding all aspects of our lives. Nothing about you is insignificant and as a child of covenant you are covered in God’s: 

Love, Grace, Mercy, Increase, Promotion 
Loving Kindness, Joy, Peace, Gifts 
Protection, Healing, Son-Jesus Christ, Redemption 
Forgiveness, Future, Fulfilled Calling for your life, Care 
Peace, Favor, Timing, Relationship 
Promises, Blessings, Rewards, Plan and so much more! 

The Lord completely covers us when we TRUST him completely and know without a doubt that He is our refuge, strength, promise keeper and protection.  In life it is easy to pick up the futile acts of worry, anxiety, fear and doubt but when we completely trust God no matter what is going on in us and around us worry, fear, anxiety and doubt will be forced to leave because our faith in God is greater than any circumstance. We are truly covered by the LORD. 

God knows who we are, what He has created and what we are equipped to accomplish. God is completely aware of our inabilities and He possesses all ability to cover us in every area of our lives.  When you read God’s word let it sink in as a direct promise to you, because that is exactly what it is. God has covered ALL in your life but we are commanded not to worry, not to fear and TRUST God no matter what it looks like. In the natural it may be tough but spiritually and with God’s grace "You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you." (Philippians 4:13).   

Life is full of challenges, choices, changes and characters but remain encouraged today by Psalm 91 that you are completely covered by the LORD in all things regarding you.  To God be the Glory! - Dr. Kennetra A. Bryant
