The Lord is Always doing Great and Marvelous Things!
Even when I don’t recognize it or see it, He’s always doing Great Things!
He’s Always working on our behalf to give us a Greater picture of Him!
And my soul doth magnify Him.
Hallelujah!!!
The scripture of passage here, speaks to us being Imitators of God. And my reality is, I don’t do this very well. Yet, this is what we’ve been called to do.
Ephesians 5:1-20 (KJV)
1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
The whole text is powerful, but v. 13 hit me:
“But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.”
All things that are reproved (called into conviction) are “shown” (made visible/manifest) in the light.
For whatever does make itself (to be seen) manifest…. is light!
Meaning: If you’re seen, it’s because He allows you to be seen.
Hallelujah
He said:“Any Greatness of Light you’re showing Forth, is because of Me!”
Hallelujah!!!
“It’s because I’ve caused Light to shine on you!”
I hear ya Lord:
“You are, because I Am!” 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Glory to Your Name Lord!
I’m constantly concerned about my purpose…
What is it?
Why is it?
How is it Lord?
Feeling discouraged because I can’t put finger on it!
Why haven’t I evolved?
Why am I not seeing…
Why am I not seeing the next place?
Because you need to learn how to see Clearly now!
You can’t see beyond what you can’t see Now!…
It’s Now Faith…
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Hebrews 11:1 KJV
So any light source that you’ve given off, is because of Me!
Verse 5 says:
“5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.”
So anyone who covets an image other than mine, is an idolater.
An idolater acts off of the base (foundation) of an image.
What you worship…
What you perceive and take as Truth…
Don’t partake of this, V.7,
For the fruit of the Spirit is in All Righteousness & Truth….
There is no denying fruit…
For it Will produce (V.9)
13 “But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light [of God’s precepts], for it is light that makes everything visible. 14 For this reason He says, “Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine [as dawn] upon you and give you light.””
EPHESIANS 5:13-14 AMP
Hallelujah
He will cause His Light to shine on Me when I give off His Image!!!
Thank you Lord Jesus!
And it’s not gonna come….
The exposure….
The understanding….
The knowing….
Demons & evil spirits knowing me…
The world knowing me….
My church knowing me….
My children really knowing me….
My husband really knowing me……
Until I reflect His Image!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because I’m not identifiable,
Only my fruit is, for it is the Spirit’s production
They will know you by your fruit!
“Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?”
Matthew 7:16 KJV
Hallelujah!!!
13 “But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light [of God’s precepts], for it is light that makes everything visible. 14 For this reason He says, “Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine [as dawn] upon you and give you light.””
EPHESIANS 5:13-14 AMP
So, v. 13 & 14 are saying:
The Light speaks for itself
You don’t need an announcer
You don’t need a performance
You don’t need a mic 🎤
Hallelujah
The Light will speak for you!!!
WOW!!!
Help me Lord
Please forgive me Lord
I wanna live in your light so that Your Light is seen…….
Not mine
Make me a vessel!!!
I hear ya Lord:
“If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.”
2 Timothy 2:21 KJV
Thank you Holy Ghost
Cause it’s not about Me, and “My Light”….
Who I think or feel like I am
What I think I should/should not be (or be doing)
It about You and Your Light O’ Lord!
Make me Over!!!
Tears 😭 of repentance
I’m so sorry Lord
I didn’t recognize the error of my way
Please forgive me
And help me to SEE 👀
To See, Acknowledge, Know and Come to Appreciate YOUR WAY!!!
***The only reason I would shine, is so that YOU can be seen More clearly!***
JESUS!!!
The only reason I would shine, is so that YOU can be seen More clearly!
Help me to see this Lord Jesus
Help me to come into an appreciation of this
Your Great and greatly to be praised!!!
Hallelujah God
Please forgive me
Help me to be after the right and righteous things!
On 4/20/18, you told me:
“Don’t let the picture of what you’re in, become greater than what you Know!!!”
Hallelujah!!!
I’ve gotta see the picture right
I’m not consumed by the world
“But Greater is He that is in Me, than He that is in the World!”
1 John 4:4 KJV
With you in Me Lord, I’m Greater than the world!
I Must See the picture right!
I can hear you say:
“Tiana, don’t let the “world’s” image of Me, become greater than what you Know about Me!!!”
Help me Lord!
Help me not to do it…
Help me not to conform Lord
But Transform me, by the renewing of my mind!
Renew my mind Lord
Renew my way Lord
Renew my walk Lord, in the name of Jesus!
Grow my mind up Lord, in the name of Jesus
Bring Salvation to my mindset
Bring new strength and vigor to my mind in the name of JESUS
Build me up Lord
Grow me up in you
Teach me your will and your way
Show me how to agree with you, in the name of Jesus
In the midst of me growing, take every part/piece of me and build it for Your Glory!
Let your name be magnified in Me!
Let Your Joy be magnified in Me!
Hallelujah
Let Your Way be In Me
Let Your Way Flow through me, in the name of Jesus
Hallelujah Lord!!!
I pray for an uncommon mind, in the name of Jesus

I pray for an “unheard of” way of movement, in the name of Jesus!
Not just in You Lord, but in the earth, that You May be Glorified

A peculiar understanding in you Lord, in the name of Jesus
I pray that the Transformation of Mind, be Your people’s portion today, in the name of Jesus!
I pray for uncommon territory to be claimed and reclaimed by Your chosen generation, in the name of Jesus
I pray for unseen Faith Hallelujah….
For unseen Faith to hit the hearts of Your people now, in the Name of Jesus…
That the words they utter would be a shocking comfort to their souls and penetrate everything they’re attached to, in the name of Jesus
I pray for soul saving Joy to be restored unto your people now, in the name of Jesus;
That every nation that wears you as a banner be multiplied in faith, in the name of Jesus
That the Holy One rise up in us, with a new mandate of renewal – in the name of Jesus;
That this new mind that was in Christ Jesus, also BE (exist, thrive, move and be stirred) within us,
Glory Be to Your Name Lord
Have your way
Your Holy & Righteous Way, in the Name of Jesus!
I pray that every chosen vessel be awakened, rising with the Knowing that their Light has come – in the name of Jesus;
That their way of seeing, their way of believing, their way of hoping, and their way of hearing is Here, in the name of Jesus!
Have your way Lord!!!
Teach us how to Love, just as you have mandated us to do…
Open up the eyes of our Faith O’ God, that we would come to Know the Hope of our calling.
And we will forever give You the Praise, in Jesus name I pray. Amen
