Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
\u201cA voice was heard in Ramah,
Lamentation, weeping, and great 
mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children,
Refusing to be comforted,
Because they are no more.\u201d

Now when Herod was dead, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
saying, \u201cArise, take the young Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young child\u2019s life are dead.\u201d
Then he arose, took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being warned by God in a dream, he turned aside into the region of Galilee. 
And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, \u201cHe shall be called a Nazarene.\u201d

Matthew 2:17-23<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
I had a dream this morning that woke me up in an emotional puddle of sweat and tears. In this dream children with mental and physical disabilities sat in a place entitled Dolly\u2019s Corner where the set up felt very familiar; as if I\u2019ve seen it before. It reminded me of the childcare area inside the YMCA in Lake Carolina. Koinonia scholars were present, Rev. Elizabeth Nance-Coker was present along with Kelly, Mrs. Debbie, a young man I didn\u2019t recognize but had kind eyes like the late Stephon Abbott, Jasmine and others. I remember one little sweet boy in particular came up to and said, \u201cthank you Mrs. Whitnee\u2019 for all you do for us.\u201d Another handsome young man said,\u201d we know you\u2019ve gone through a lot but you still care about us, we love you!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I looked all around while Rev. Elizabeth sat on the floor reading books to a small group of people and Kelly did Godly Play with some of the Koinonia scholars leading the children with physical disabilities. As I walked around sprucing up the place I looked up and saw Dolly\u2019s Corner and smiled. The part of that dream was over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next I was in a spacious car with Rico and the boys and we pulled up to what looked like a federal building with gates all around it. Faith came out of the parking lot in a red convertible that had similar features of an old red Honda Civic she used to have. Rico and the boys got out and went inside but I got in the car with Faith. The dream was so clear. <\/em>As we drove down Browning Drive, Faith told me she had been promoted to Director of Operations and was headed to clear out someone\u2019s desk. Faith looked different in this dream. She walked with confidence, held her head high like Michelle Obama, and had the stride of Halle Berry, it\u2019s like she had finally become the person she always wanted to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dream ended as we parted ways saying simultaneously, \u201csee what happens when you trust God and don\u2019t give up!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was 5:35 and though I normally shower at 6 I decided to go ahead and start my day. To my surprise all the tears and sweat was an interpretation of a physical saturation I had to deal with that left me weak and unable to stand straight. Despite the discomfort, I pulled it together and got in the shower. I began to hum the song I\u2019m Not Tired Yet by the Mississippi Mass Choir. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83c\udfb6\u2026Been working for Jesus a long time
(I\u2019m not tired yet)
\u2026Been running for Jesus a long time
(I\u2019m not tired yet)
\u2026Been working for Jesus a long time
(I\u2019m not tired yet) 
\u2026I\u2019ve gotta get going it\u2019s a mighty hard fight
(I\u2019m not tired yet) \ud83c\udfb6 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I continued to hum this song in my head when I had a pain that had me leaning over the bed. It\u2019s like someone took Jax\u2019s strength from Mortal Combat and sent a massive blow to my pelvic area. It brought me to my knees. A puzzled William asked if I was okay as he passed the room and noticed something wasn\u2019t right- he kissed my cheek and went into his room to pray. After a few moments I gathered myself and was slowly able to get dressed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had a new song to sing though I had to pant for breath. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83c\udfb6 I don\u2019t feel no ways tired,
I\u2019ve come too far from where I started from.
Nobody told me that the road would be easy,
I don\u2019t believe He brought me this far to leave me.

I don\u2019t believe He brought me this far.

I\u2019ve been sick (I don\u2019t believe),
but God brought me (He brought me this far).
I\u2019ve been in trouble (I don\u2019t believe),
but God brought me (He brought me this far). 

I don\u2019t believe (I don\u2019t believe)
that God would bring me (would bring me this far just to leave me). <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Y\u2019all I can\u2019t describe in adequate words how much the enemy has fought me this morning and tried to discourage me from putting this out but I believe that through the dream gave me this morning, He wanted to tell you this morning to Hold on, keep the faith, and don\u2019t give up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You see the road might be dark, and you don\u2019t know which way to turn but God wants you to know He is with you in the darkness and He will guide you. All we have to do is remain faithful, pray without ceasing, and believe in His word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At times like this when we as a country face so many uncertainties can I tell you this morning that God is bigger than a government shut down. Can I tell you this morning that He is the Provider of all providers even before there was an EBT\/SNAP card. Don\u2019t you know this morning that He is far more powerful than Trump or any President before and after him. I want you to know this morning THAT AS LONG AS YOU GOT KING JESUS, YOU DON\u2019T NEED NOBODY ELSE! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know who I\u2019m talking to this morning but my God placed in my spirit to share with you this morning to hold on! Hold on! Hold on to God\u2019s unchanging hand!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Matthew 2:22, God came to Joseph in a dream. I believe God gave me instructions in my dream this morning and He encouraged me to not give up. He told me to keep fighting past the pain, push through the hurt, pray through the struggle, remain in prayer and focus on Him. God told me it\u2019s not over, it\u2019s only the beginning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ya\u2019ll I don\u2019t know what method God is using to communicate His word to you, but He is saying hold on this morning DON\u2019T GIVE UP! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83c\udfb6 What do you do when you\u2019ve done all you can
And it seems like it\u2019s never enough?
and what do you say when your friends turn away 
and you\u2019re all alone? 
Tell me, what do you give when you given your all
And it seems like you can\u2019t make it through? 

Well, you just stand when there\u2019s nothing left to do
You just stand, watch the Lord see you through
Yes, after you\u2019ve done all you can
You just stand

Stand be sure
Be not entangled in that bondage again
You just stand (Stand) and endure (And endure)
God has a purpose, hey
Yes, God has a plan

Through the storm (Stand), stand through the rain (Stand)
Through the hurt (Stand), JET THROUGH THE PAIN (<\/strong>YOU JUST)
Don\u2019t you bow (Stand), and don\u2019t you bend (Stand)
Don\u2019t give up (Stand), no don\u2019t give in (You just)
Hold on (Stand), just be strong (Stand)
God will step in (Stand), and it won\u2019t be long\u2026

Prayed and cry, oh
After you\u2019ve done all you can
You just stand, oh, whoa, oh, oh, mm. 

STAND \ud83c\udfb6 <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Ephesians 6:12 says, For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic power over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you go throughout your week, remember to put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be blessed! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
