Beauty of it All

It is so refreshing to rest in the presence of God, to know that He is with you and that "absolutely" nothing can separate you from His love. We are His and He loves it when we lavish Him with our love and time. I am in a place of complete serenity and peace. I dont have the answers to everything wrong that is happening in my life, but I know that I will get through it and be on top. I know that I am always the head and not the tail, that my steps  are ordered by the Lord and that He will not let me fail.

The beauty of serving God is that we dont ever have to stay in one place.. :) That when we fall or make a mistake He is able to make it beautiful again. That life is beautiful, whether I am crying or laughing hysterically!! That everything works out for those who love the Lord. Expectation arises when faith is ignited, embers and old structures are burned down when light comes and exposes darkeness..embrace the exposure and illumination. God sheds light on dark areas to help us see what needs help, or what needs growth. He wants us to be the best that we can be, He wants us to accomplish all that He has set apart for us. His love is nothing less than extraordinary, and the plan He has for all of our lives is just as good!!! Stay Hungry and allow your heart to burn with fire.. and with passion. A passion so strong that people will hunger after it and want to know the God that we serve. Lets be a "firecracker" to the world and to those who are dying.. and confused.. who dont know what to do!! Within those sparks and illumination our lives will be changed.. we will fall in love with the light.. and want it to be a part of our lives. Burn for Him..and know that you where you are to bring His name Glory and for lives to be changed eternally!!!

Hold On!

Today my heart was set ablaze with a holy fire and reverent praise towards the God I serve and the one I love. My heart has always longed for "more" of God and for "more" of His presence and spiritual insight. I've always been attracted to His mysterys..and prophetic words. His word has always been  prophetic and forthtelling.. showing me what to expect and how to endure this path and life.

There is a deep desire for one to be heard and sought out, to be longed for and wanted. I have found myself in this whirlpool of longing and desperation for identity and transformation. Ive been in this state for the last few months. Slowly and unconsciously falling away from what I knew was real.. and vascilating with what I know is untrue. In the midst of this violent yet steady war..I continue to hear  a still small voice saying "Hold on! There is more" I knew it was the spirit of God telling me to presevere. It is His love that has exposed truth and has brought forth healing. What I am experiencing is molding and transformation. Through all that Ive been through.. God has always remained faithful. He continues to love me.. and continues to show me what is real. So therefore I choose to not vascilate from one lie to another. If a thought or feeling.. is not lining up with His Word or Character.. I dont want to be a part of it. I want to display is Love.. and give His Love without Recompense.

I encourage you to "Hold On" to what you know is real. Hold on to what your dreams are, He gave you them for a reason. We are His mouthpiece.. we are prophecy made alive. He spoke us into exsistence. We were planned!!! Oh, how awesome that is..we were not put here by accident. We have a purpose to fulfill!! Stay encouraged.. and know that you are not alone!!! He loves you!

Matthew 4:16 " The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death ligh is sprung up".

Unveiling

God is unveiling his precious daughters and sons to the world.. we are in a season of transition and multiplication.. door are opening.. oppurtunities are arising. Prayers are being answered.. prayers that have been prayed for over 10 years.. are being unveiled and revealed. We are living in the time of complete and whole miracles, hearts have been awakened to the true love and power that lives and comes from Jesus Christ.

The last few weeks.. ive been experiencing an overwhelming amount of His love and provision for my life.. its as if.. He has been giving me a cheat book.. on how life really works.. how He operates.. and what He wants his sons and daughters to focus on. I find myself.. being sensitive to sounds.. that I hear and words that are spoken by friends, peers, co workers and people in general.God is doing something now that has never been done before..  There is a specific sound that can be heard and descerned by being sensitive to Him and his spirit. 

Im finding myself enveloped in deep emotion when I think about who He is, what he has done.. and what he will do. My heart has begun to burn.. for his sons and daughters to return to the truth. The truth that has freed and delivered people from deception and apathy. Clarity of thought, peace and joy is what God wants us to experience on a daily basis. The world around us is in complete chaos...everyone is looking for a way out of their current situation.. people want true freedom..mentally, spiritually and physically. As time continues to pass..it seems as if the evil continues to get bigger..and more aggresive.There is an urgency to prepare.. to prepare for the future.. to know who you are and who you serve. If who you serve.. is not clear.. and if you dont know who you are. . and who you belong to.. I have a feeling that their will be a loss of validity and confidence in ones self especially with the time we are in the time we are living in. It is detrimental for all of us.. to meditate and focus on what is truly real.. because everything around us.. is not what it seems to be.

The truth is being revealed.. love is being unleashed... stay ready!

Jesus Culture - One Thing Remains

Worship to me is one of the most beautiful gifts, that we can give to the Lord. I've come to the realization that I live out of that place.. when Im in my room spending quiet time with the Lord.. I cant help but sing a song unto Him.. exalting and magnifying His name. Allowing His presence and the words of the song. premeate my spirit..When you add the word..its even more amazing. Its as if..the word and His presence just kiss.. and you cant help but feel strengthened. In that moment He brings things that I need to correct, He speaks to my heart.. reminding me of His endless love. Its like being energized all over again.






This is the portion He has given me, He knew that "Natasha" would want to know Him deeper..that I would have a curiousity to seek His face. and to know His presence even deeper. When Im in His presence, I am ALIVE..words cant describe.. I feel at home.. right where I belong.



I would encourage every person, to soak.. to soak in the presence of the Lord...allowing his Love and power overtake you..quiet your spirit.. and let Him have his way. He is so faithful.. He has never gave up on you.. I pray this worship song blesses your heart.. let Him minister unto you ::)

Its not over..

Back at it again :) Was M.I.A for over a month! Well, I can honestly say that I didnt post anything.. due to me feeling as if what I have or wanted to say would be insgnificant. Yes, I know.. sad face :( But to my hearts joy, I serve a God that is faithful.. and persistent. He wont relent until He has it all. I know without a doubt, that He wants my Heart..He wants the hearts of His children.

Have you ever had a really close friend or boyfriend, that you did absolutely everything with?? You laughed together, cried together even fought with one another. Well, what I have learned.. is that our relationship with Yahweh (God) is the same. He knows how to move our hearts, and calm our fears. He knows what makes us smile and what makes us cry. I would sometimes think, why would The God of this Universe..care about me being angry or sad. I would think.."He already knows what Im feeling, I cant let him see that. Instead I need to "act" extra strong"-- People that is no way to live. Yeshua (Jesus) died for our sins, so that we could have eternal life.. so that we could have Heaven on earth. So that whatever is cast out in Heaven, will be cast out on earth. If it does not happen in Heaven..why should it happen here. We are spiritual beings, with the same purpose.. to love the Lord with all of our hearts, and to love others like Christ loved us. That is our main purpose, to bring people to the knowledge of Yeshua (Jesus).

I loose sight of that fact almost all the time, I'll be honest.. Instead of making a change.. sometimes I would just sit in the midst of confusion, and try to figure it out. As if Yahweh just placed a ball of confusion in my life..and said "deal with it, you messed up last week..". Those words are lies.. lies sent from the enemy.. sent from the world.. to destroy our faith..to diminish our hope... and drive us into helplessness.

Victory is in laying down your life, and not trusting in yourself. Joy comes when you realize your able to do no thing with out Him. Why wouldnt He consume your thoughts.. why wouldnt He free you from addictions, depression, insecurities, anger, hate? He is YAHWEH (GOD) the way the truth and the life.

So when things are "looking " helpless dont give up, press forward..allow yourself to be weak and vulnerable.. during those instances..He shows up.. and showers us with His love. Its not "Natasha" that people see..they see Christ in me. Takes the stress off of trying to be perfect.. and replaces those feelings with meekness.. knowing that in Him.. I will be strengthened..

We are in a time of transitioning spiritually, He is drawing us closer through His word and presence. Its time to respond..we may not see everything or understand. Pursue still..because He is there.. when you call on His name with all of your heart..and submit your life unto Him..He moves.

He knows that you are not perfect...thats why He sent his Son.

Song of Solomon 2:4- "He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love"

Significance

What truly matters, is how one will live his or her life..the decisions we make now..will have an effect on our future, whether it be positive or negative. Personally I have been finding myself periodically getting distracted, being distracted by small things.. old habits..old mindsets. What is so interesting to me is that once those emotions and feelings come back up.. I immediately am reminded by a small voice.. in the midst of the storm..that the Lord has delivered me from this.. Once I quiet my mind..and focus on the what the Spirit of The Lord is saying the storm begins to end.. and I can see clearly again. The Lord does not want us going through life alone or confused. He wants us to focus our eyes on Him.. no matter how hard it gets. He is our joy, in Him all of our questions will be answered. But before that can happen, one has to want the Lord to come in. Im learning that in Him their is no confusion, in Him there is constant peace and compassion.

When Jesus walked the earth, he did not doubt what His Father sent him to do.. he had a confidence. Knowing that his Father knows best, that all he has for him is of good and not evil. I believe that we should desire to take after Jesus. He is and will always be the true example of love and obedience.

Stay encouraged and know that the best is yet to come, dont let your current circumstance dicatate your future. In Christ life continues to get better and better. He wants to love you,and reveal his love to you personally. Once you allow Him to do that, you cant help but extend that same love to others!!

Have an awesome day, and know that you are valued!!

HOPE

My heart is leaping with so much joy and understanding.. truly everything that is good and pure comes from God. This past weekend, I was emotionally drained and moving towards depression.I was angry and frustrated..I had not felt this way for the longest time..especially since this year began. I had made a decleration that this year I was not going to hold back.. that no circumstance negative or bad would take me captive.
People would ask me "why are you so positive? Its okay to be "real" sometimes.." Well, Ive come to decision that I rather speak faith.. or meditate on what is good..keeping my faith ignited.. despite what I see. Last weekend that decleration was challenged. For literaly three days.. I was super sensitive, angry.. emotional.. a wreck! I rememeber speaking to my younger sister.. expressing my frustration.. she encouraged me to press on.. and to continue my walk..knowing that its normal to feel drained..but ddont give up. When my mom came home, she was talking with me.. and I just started crying.. she said "Tasha, its okay to cry..you wineskin is just being stretched. See what you need to change.. how you need to respond. The only bad thing that could come out of this moment in your life.. is for you to JUSTIFY the way you are feeling by making up excuses.. and not changing". When she was saying that.. I didnt want to hear it.. I wanted to cry.. I wanted someone to hold me..and give me what I felt I needed at that very moment.

In the midst of my emotion, I knew that God was still speaking to me.. He was holding me.. just in a different way.. He wanted His little girl to grow up..He wanted to challenge me.. :) Well that Sunday.. I went to church.. and Dr. Henry Wolmarans my awesome pastor.. taught on "The Power of Hope" When we cry out to God saying.. "I want more of You Lord".. we sometimes dont want exactly what He gives us..He shows us a better way.. exposes light on the dark areas in our life.. and desires for us to work with Him to bring.. restoration to that area. But if we ignore it, or say "thats not God" it doesnt look like what I asked.. Him. If we respond in that fashion.. not trusting Him.. we can lose out.. we can lose or Joy. their is joy in serving Him.. their is joy in loving Him! The enemy loves to play with our emotions.. and His focus is to attack our FAITH...our hope..he wants to deprive us of hope... like the Lord forsake us! I had felt that way.. the majority of the weekend..It was as if God.. grabbed me.. and said.. "NO, IM NOT LOSING YOU".. the Holy Spirit gave Dr. Henry Wolmarans an awesome word..to not give up.. that we are at the end.. of a breakthrough..Ahh.. I held on.. and on the other side was peace, joy, hope and wisdom.


Now, this evening.. the Lord has broken into my heart once again.. and revealed His love to me..He is so authentic.. He knows how to break into each one of hearts.. to give us what we need.


Hold on.. to hope..Hold onto faith..



Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen"

Truth

You cant sugarcoat everything, especially the realities of life. The life we live are under constant review and scrutiny from those who do not understand the meaning of forgiveness and redemption. Everyday that I wake up is a blessing from God. My life does not belong to me, I was bought with a price. The only one I owe an explanation to at the end of my life is my Heavenly Father. Therefore what He puts in my heart, and spirit comes first.. before my desires. What He wants me to do..takes precedence. Im learning this.. as Im making a conscious decision to serve Him. I know there is more.. there has to be more than the life we are living. What we do here on earth..matters in eternity.

If we truly tap into his presence.. and ask Him to reveal His mysteries.. we will be in awe..His anointing and love gives you and I hope..we are not living our lives in vain. That is truth.. it will never change.

The Other Alternative Luncheon

Yesterday afternoon, February 5, 2011. RomanceMe Ministries had the privelage of attending a luncheon that Whittier Pregnancy Care Clinic was hosting. During the luncheon,I had the oppurtunity to sit and talk with some of the staff. The head Nurse Manager from the Clinic, ministered on "Sexuality" and how it is effecting our youth and young adults. My eyes were opened to a lot of things, both natural and spiritual. As a body, we need to encourage and strengthen are young women to appreciate their physical bodies as well as their spiritual bodies.As we begin to bring awareness to our children, they will begin to see that their is another way..a better way to live their lives..that will glorify their Heavenly Father. We do not belong to ourselves.. we were bought with a price 1 Corinthians 6:20. I believe that there is power, in knowing who we are, and whose we are!!! We all belong to a mighty God who wants us, to be loved..and cared for. Im excited to see how God will continue to use the Whittier Pregnancy Care Clinic. The event was amazing..

Passion

I am a very passionate person, if my heart is not in it.. Im usually not all the way there. When I talk about my family, God and my dreams.. I instantly fall in love with the heart of the matter as Im sharing revelations, accomplishments and future goals. Im finding that God desires us to be passionate about Him and his Kingdom as well. For us to be excited about sharing his love and reading His word with others. Their is joy in laying down our lives, and giving everything to him. He is the reason that you and I are here. He is the reason why we have what we have, every good and perfect thing comes from Him.

The middle of this week, I was feeling deprived and dry.. my heart was longing for communion with Love..my passion. I had to make a conscious decision to forget what happened to me during the week.. and focus and meditate on Gods unfailing love and mercy. He wants to commune with us on a regular basis. He wants us to give Him our fears and worries...and replace it with joy and peace. He suffered on the cross, so that you and I can walk in his EXTREME and RADICAL love :)

Its time to get your peace back.. its time to get your joy back!! It belongs to you, it is your portion. In Him their is nothing missing or broken. Walk in wholeness.

Be encouraged this morning, to live a passionate life. Knowing that everyday is a blessing..

Rejoice

Good evening, the presence of God is priceless..His word..and his love is indescribable. We dont have to walk through life alone..we dont have to figure things out by ourselves. He overcame the world.. so that we could enjoy it with Him. My heart is overflowing with joy, knowing that my days are numbered and accounted for by a loving God.. who has my life in his hands. I will not be ashamed, my life will arise.. my situations have to change. In Christ their is success and wholness. He has released unto us His Holy Spirit, which is the ANOINTING..

Ahhh...Have you ever noticed, that in the midst of worship..in the midst of his presence..revelation flows, understanding is streaming.. from every corner and portole of your spirit. Like right now.. I feel like a thunderball.. or should I say fireball..I have so much to say.. words can not even express..the JOY I feel,when I think on Him and His love for ME!!!
As Im writing this, my mind goes back to the Impartation School Of Ministry that The Promise church with Dr. Henry Wolmarans. Last week, he said that as Christians we need to become more "inside" minded. When I heard that, I understood it as us knowing our authourity. Not being afraid to identify ourselves as being daughters and sons of Christ..made worthy to love Him, made worthy to partake in the Inheritance of Gods Son. This year forward and for the rest of my Christian walk, I am going to operate out of an "inside" mindset.. "inside" Christ and His word.

Jesus did not die on the Cross, for us to be weak and frail.. and to walk in fear..doubting the power that lives and abides inside of us. God is not asking us, to operate in the lowest of anointing. Hes called us to do great works, to be a catalyst.. to bring His Glory in the lives and midst of others.

Be encouraged this evening and know that you, were created for such a time as this. Rejoice, for you are valued and desired by a Mighty God.


2 Corinthians 3:6
1 John 2:27

I am Worthy

Father God sent Jesus his only begotten son to the earth, to restore humanity back into fellowship with Him. Due to the blood that was shed on Calvary, we have been made worthy of Gods love. In His love, their is no lack and fullness of joy. In Him there is nothing missing and nothing broken, in Him I have every right to be healed, set free and delivered from anything that is not bringing glory to His name. God loves us so much, that He allowed the Holy Spirit, the same spirit that rose Jesus from the dead to live inside of us.

John 14:6: " And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter that he may abide with you for ever;"

We were made to walk in power and authourity. We were created to keep our heads held up high, knowing that we have in an inheritance in Christ Jesus. That by and throught the cross we have been made worthy of His presence and love in our everyday lives.

I truly believe that this is a message that should be shared with believers and unbelievers everywhere. Its time for us (christians) to stop keeping our heads down, to stop walking in defeat..and take on the mindset of VICTORY!! SWEATLESS VICTORY!! We are sons and daughters of the King!!

Jesus says in John 14:18: " I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you"



Yay!! I am so excited to know, that I will never be alone..His spirit lives and abides inside of me. If you ever feel hopeless or unworthy, call on the name of Jesus and allow His spirit, the Holy Spirit to comfort you. His Spirit will reaffirm your place, and speak to you your inheritance.

Walk in the fullness of His spirit, receiving wisdom, revelation in the knowledge of Him, understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power!
Paraphrased Epehesians 1:17-19

Walk in His fullness!!!

Great Expectations

Happy Happy Saturday!!! This morning as I was laying in bed, I couldnt help but think about how warm my bed was, and how I could literally stay in bed all day! :) Instead of laying in my bed all day, I decided to start my day off right..by thinking positive and speaking the Word over this particular day and my life. As I was praying new hope was arising, and expectation was stirring up in my heart. Certain duties, and projects that I started and did not finish..came to my mind, calls I needed to make tugged at my heart. I knew that today, I couldnt sleep in.. it was time to put my foot to the metal.. and get some things done!

This is a year of miracles and manifestations, a year for our dreams to come to a reality. In order for our dreams to become reality, we have to expect.. we have to trust and believe that it will come to pass.

1 Corinthians 2:9- "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered in to the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him".


So as you enjoy your weekend with friends and family, keep your ears and eyes attentive to His voice. He has prepared a place just for you, so expect!

Why would He Forsake me now?

Last night, I performed a prophetic act of worship...by posting scriptures.. Gods promises all over my room. I made a decision that this year, I will know the Word God and I will believe it with all of my heart.In the midst of me, writing and copying down scriptures my spirit man began to leap. As I was posting the construction paper on my walls, I felt a sudden closeness to Gods Word.. as I read the scriptues out loud.. more scriputres came to my spirit..and I continued to write and post. When I look at my walls now, I feel even closer to my Heavenly Father..its as if He is speaking right to me.

I layed my head down to sleep, that evening excited about my prophetic act of obedience, toward Gods word and promises. I woke up about 12, to hear my sisters still awake, downstairs watching tv. Just to fill you in, I have a very sensitive ear... If I am unable to sleep due to sound.. I get a little irritated. So I demanded that my sisters turn down the tv. my sister sent me a special text saying "If you would stop concentrating on the sound, you would fall asleep". Her text made complete sense, I needed to stop focusing on the sound, or whats irritating me.. and think on.. something positive.. like the scriptures that are in my room..and His presence :) But after I got that text, I decided to go upstairs to sleep until they stopped talking.. and to calm myself down..I even thought..why am I getting so worked up!

As I layed upstairs, I could barely sleep..it was as if the enemy was harassing me.. giving me thoughts "Aneurysm, your going to die, everything you did a few hours ago.. is obsolete". I continued to cast the enemy down..refusing to believe his lies.. and at the same time wondering.. "Lord why am I being attacked.. right after I did a prophetic act of obedience? Shouldnt everything be "peachy" right now?" After about an hour, I went back into my room downstairs and layed down. As I began to sleep I woke up..I had a dream that I had opened the "door" to a room and "air" was coming out. It was as if, I was airing out a room..allowing the freshness of Gods Holy Spirit to clean out my life!


When I woke up in the morning to go to work, the enemy was still speaking words of negativity into my mind, I continued to cast it down. Knowing that I have to press on,knowing that the Lord has not forgotten about me or forsaken me. As I continued to press on, and focus on the Lord and His joy that's been made available unto me.. I began to get encouraged. Nothing can go wrong, the enemy has no grasp on my life or my families life when I am holding unto the Word of God.

I choose to believe that He has given me the tools to be successful, and to not be tossed too and fro by my emotions..

Psalms 119:105
Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path.

I know that He will guide my way, He is with me and will never forsake me..

Be encouraged and know, that He will vindicate his people.. you will not be ashamed.
