WRITERS JUNE 2021 Time to pray, Our Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We thank You for Your holy highway and the ability You give us to forge a path and pave the way for tomorrow. Keep us in Your loving care as we travel on to greater destiny and glory. As we rely on Your guidance and protection, help us to follow Your ancient paths. The expectation of success is ours as we focus on what You love and continue to learn what is not Your ways. Show us where repentance and deliverance are needed so that we can freely communicate with You. Please do not let go of us but build us up so that we can build up the highway of the Lord – the holy, righteous way of life. Evangelism is at the forefront now, for we desire to see people saved, sanctified, and tapped into Your holiness. We want to help to populate Heaven. Please give us the wisdom we need to keep growing and moving forward. You are our God, and we are Your people. You created us in Your divine image, and we come into agreement with Your vision for our lives. Thank You, Jesus, that You came so that we can have an abundant life. We agree and thank You for all You have done for us. In the Mighty name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Mary Eisenacher
A big thank you to our writers this month.

I Hear The Sound Of Doors Opening! Betty Lockhart is the President of Nehemiah Ministry a Miracle Transforming Ministry. She is an ordained minister who flows in the prophetic anointing. She loves to encourage people to step into their giftings. Prophetess Betty has been impacting the Kingdom of God for over 30 years. Betty's vision is to ignite the flame of God's anointing and miracle working power in the lives of God's people to experience the presence of God in all of his power and glory.
"I know your deeds, See, I have set before you an open door which no one is able to shut," (Revelation 3:8, AMP) In the Spirit, I heard the sound of doors opening, not one door, but multiple doors. The sound continues to echo in my spirit.
10
I believe the Spirit of the Lord is opening doors, not just one door, but DOORS of MULITPLE blessings for you. "But you shall (earnestly) remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers; as it is this day." (Deuteronomy 8:18. AMP)
I believe GREAT FAVOR is coming! FAVOR! FAVOR! FAVOR! I hear it loud and clear. Do you believe in miracles? Do you believe God can prosper your life? Do you believe that God can take nothing and make something beautiful? Do you believe that this is your season of open doors? 11
I believe the Spirit of the Lord wants to birth something new in your life. What appeared to be a setback, has been a divine connection by the Spirit of the Living God. Your situations and your battles are opportunities for the Holy Spirit to show himself strong to you. He is going to show up HUGE in this season.
This is not the time to become complacent. Major DOORS are opening for you! God knows what you need when you need it. I believe the Spirit of the Lord is going to elevate you to a level that is preparing you for the GREATER that IS to come! It is time, to believe in God for prosperity to flow in your life. It is time, to believe God for miracles to be released NOW! Get ready! You are entering a zone of "NO MORE!"
No MORE Lack! No More Tears! No MORE financial concerns! No MORE disappointments! No MORE unhealthy relationships! No MORE! God is releasing blessings, A family blessing to you and yours, A corporate blessing, a corporate anointing, corporate power is coming. DOORS ARE OPENING! GREATER is coming! Embrace it fully! Doors are opening! I declare and decree multiple DOORS are opening for you, in this season! I declare and decree that a "Sudden" door will open for you in Jesus' Name! Amen 12

DEAR WOMAN
She picked up the brown fabric she’d washed over a thousand times and wrapped it carefully around her body. Folding it twice around her waist and tying it across her shoulder. She’d never felt so nervous. TODAY, THINGS WOULD BE DIFFERENT, SHE THOUGHT. 14
She had been feeling more anxious than usual. For three days now. She hadn’t understood why until she heard the news. Then it all made sense. This time, things would change, she re-affirmed. Though she had no reason to be hopeful, she would push past her doubts. She’d said those words over a thousand times- and nothing had ever changed. Instead, she was always left crushed and broken like a lone vessel washed ashore from the vengeful wrath of wicked waves. She had no reason to hope again.
YET TODAY, THE SUN SEEMED TO SHINE BRIGHTER THAN IT HAD IN DAYS.. As the wind brushed against her cheek, she shut her eyes and inhaled deeply, letting out a deep sigh. This time, things would be different.. 15
THE ATMOSPHERE WAS TENSE AND THE AIR WAS THICK She set off on her 3 mile journey. She’d wrapped her grey scarf around her head for fear of being recognized. She didn’t want to risk it this time, the last time she was there she’d been flogged and almost stoned to death. The cruel nature of humanity was something she had been used to most of her life, and for some reason or another, she had the grace to persevere. She didn’t want to think too much about that right now. The past was the past.
She was tossed left and right as she continued to shove her body towards the direction they were fighting through.
TODAY, HEAVEN WOULD SMILE AT HER. The main streets were empty and the crowd had gathered in the district close to the sea. A sharp pain sheeted through her stomach with a terrible intensity. She felt weak and nervous. Fear gripped her as she knew what could be coming next.
NOT NOW, PLEASE, SHE THOUGHT. I'M TOO CLOSE... Please. Spare me from this pain today, she whispered as her lips trembled. Ignoring the pain, she held on to her brown cloth and walked briskly towards the crowd. Her rich dark hair which hid underneath her headscarf lay plastered on her face now, drenched from sweat. Her stomach heaved and a wave of nausea threatened to knock her unconscious as she pushed through the desperate crowd.
She couldn’t see much because of the sea of bodies pushing passed her, but she could sense that he was near now. CRUSHED BETWEEN THE VIOLENT CROWD, SHE LET HERSELF BE SWAYED FORWARD. 16
And then she saw it in a flash. A glimpse of His robe. So close..
"IF I CAN JUST TOUCH THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT, I WILL BE HEALED.'' she said to herself. And with her last strength, she hurled herself in His direction and as she fell to the ground she stretched out her hand and caught a piece of His robe as He glided through the crowd.. And we all know how the story ends.. The Woman With the Issue of Blood ( Mark 5:25-34, Matthew 9:20-22, Luke 8: 43-48) was healed after 12 years of living with her disease!

Another poignant depiction of crazy faith. In the next post we'll get into the lessons we can learn from this timeless biblical figure. . . Leaving you with this verse: And He said to her, "...your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over." - Mark 5:34 NLT

I want to start by encouraging you to never stop believing in yourself to accomplish your goals. You must be dedicated to seek God and followthrough in the strategic plan he has placed in your hands. I know my sisters it gets hard sometimes to believe when it appears that things are going in the opposite direction. You must have assurance through believing that you will never fail in pursuing your dreams if you trust God. We oftentimes question ourselves is this really going to come to pass. Also, is this worth pursuing and putting forth the effort and going through this long waiting process. 25
Also, is this worth pursuing and putting forth the effort and going through this long waiting process. Yes, it is worth the wait. You must believe that you can do all things through Christ that strengthen you for the journey. Hold on tight and never let go of believing in yourself to accomplish anything.
I want to share a brief story of my own life experience of believing. I was in college many years ago pursuing a nursing career and life circumstances happened that kept me from finishing. I guess what my sisters I became discouraged and began to doubt myself of accomplishing anything such as school.
I started a business that lasted five years due to life circumstances and once again I became disappointed with myself. I stopped believing that God would use me to accomplish anything and I felt like a failure.
When a person thrives they grow and develop vigorously. They prosper and flourish in all they set their heart and mind to accomplish. Let’s fast forward today I am Dr. Yolanda Sherman PhD. and I am grateful that my belief grew stronger because God was with me every step of the way. There are so many accomplishments that I can share with you that God helped me to do. This is the reason I am encouraging you my sisters to not stop believing. I know that you will finish strong and I celebrate each and every one of you on today. 26

MYSTERIES
“ In the shadows, I hear a whisper. The warmth of your presence upholds me. Where I would stumble, I am upheld. My heart is still, All of me stands still. The whisper becomes louder and louder. been using this app since 2018, and I have to say that it has transformed the way we do business. ” 30
“Fear not my child”, I hear, “I am with you. Although you walk through the shadows, I have kept you. My hand is upon you; There shall no evil befall you.” Suddenly, as the light pierces through, The shadows begin to dissipate. As I am elevated above the shadows, My feet begin to tremble. “There is much you do not yet know. You cannot fully comprehend the breadth and width of my love, Or, of the power in my name; The power you have. You walk on the earth as a mere mortal,Cowering in the shadows.I said you are gods; all of you are children of the Most High.”
The power you have. You walk on the earth as a mere mortal, cowering in the shadows. I said you are gods; all of you are children of the Most High.” The shadows are now but a distant reality. Abruptly without warning, I find myself back in the shadows. This time I hear, “speak my word and command the light to come forth. My creative breath is upon you.” Like Ezekiel in the Valley of Dry Bones, I stand and begin to gently command the light to come forth.
31
The voice raises louder, “speak my word and command the light to come forth. My creative breath is upon you!” This time, there is a resonance within me. As I open my voice, it is as if my voice has the power of ten thousand. I command the light to come forth and the shadows begin to disappear. “That is how you ought to speak to things, Do not be a mere spectator. 32
You are in my image and likeness; A force in the earth. What is not like me, shift it and change it. Use your words! Speak! Speak! Louder! Louder!” In but a moment I am enlightened.
Can You Have It All?
