Questions and Answers and Bible in One Year

By Apostle Tonya

Surely, it is most glorious abiding in the presence of the Blessed Master to read the Holy Bible!

Chiefly, I may say for years I hath ofttimes beheld the thought of the lovingkindness of our Eternal Father to use ordinary men to ensureth we hath the blessedness of His Word.

I may say further, historically the Scriptures hath not been invariably accessible to read…

Taketh for example, Catholics. In the 1600s the priests were principally the primary persons to read the Bible. Yet, it appeareth during this time a layperson could read certain translations of the Bible with permissions from the church. Further, the Scripture readings at Mass were chiefly read in Latin.

Ofttimes the congregants lacked the understanding of the Bible for they rarely spake the Latin language with fluency.

Principally, the layperson’s Bible during this time was the Douay-Rheims Bible (Catholic Bible). I may say, the Bible was most rare to own. Reading it was not most readily available in comparison to the blessedness that we hath today to read the Scriptures!

Most astounding, isn’t it?

Might it glorify the Master to continueth on! For as I am led by the Eternal Spirit of God, I shall answereth your questions about the sacred preservation of the Holy Bible more ofttimes.

And so, the Bible in One Year Reading Challenge shall continueth on for its second year on January 1st. The new reading plan shall be updated weekly on the ministry’s website.

Breaking Agreements with the Adversary

By Apostle Tonya

And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. St. Mark 14:43

Might I say, in the prelude season of entering into the season of the years of consecration, the Eternal Spirit of God was faithful to grant revelation on covenants.

Chiefly, I shall say our Lord fundamentally superintended training me on the covenants and agreements we might maketh with the enemy.

Continuing on, I shall say, as I hath purposed to taketh time on occasions to reflect on the years of my ministry training, the Spirit of God reminded me of an early study on Christ’s Disciple, Judas Iscariot.

Might you remembereth in the Gospels of God reading of the astounding disloyalty of Judas Iscariot? For Judas astonishingly departed from our Dearest Master’s table to the most tragic steps of betrayal.

How might it have so stunned the Disciples of Christ to behold the treachery of Judas against the Savior of the World? For I shall say inasmuch as Judas Iscariot was privileged to serve with eternity, he astoundingly chose to turn away from the magnificent awe, and glory of our Holy Majesty!

And the Scriptures record for us that for thirty pieces of silver Judas Iscariot, purposed to stand in agreement with the adversary and entereth into a most wicked covenant to revealeth the secret location of Christ. Yet, the Scriptures record Jesus Christ of Nazareth knew all things before the deception of Judas Iscariot.

And so, might I conclude with this: whenever we entereth into any agreement with the enemy, it shall be well to hasten into prayer, renounce it, and fall out of agreement with the awful character of Lucifer! Amen.

A Prayer of Thanks for Veterans

By Apostle Tonya

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Holy Father, today, I giveth Thee thanks for those who hath served in protecting this Blessed Country of America with bravery and faith. I pray they shall remembereth Thine promises in the Holy Bible and that Thou continueth to honor them in the land.

And so, we surely thank you veterans for your service for the Scripture remindeth us that greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for his friends. Amen.

The Wisdom of an Ant

By Apostle Tonya

What might I say about the blessedness of how the Blessed Holy Spirit purposed to teacheth me of His ways with dreams and visions of an ant?

Peradventure, I might say, there was never a season wherefore I considered Christ’s Heart for an ant; that is until the occasion of my orchid plant dying.

Looking back, I suppose I concluded it was the tiny insect who might hath caused my dearest orchid, whom I named Lily, to wither. In this concern for even my orchid, our Lord was most kind, for in it He decided to inculcate the wisdom of an ant.

And so, it well so agreed with the Spirit of God during this season of training to grant a most holy vision whereunto He continued on with the superintendence of training on meekness.

In this vision of wonder, I beheld with awe a fire ant carrying the effulgence of the Father’s Glory on his tiny back!

Surely, our Holy Father is a most meek and holy God!

The Courage of a Queen

By Apostle Tonya

In the sacred pages of the Old Testament, we may perhaps arrive with astonishment as we prepareth to read the Book of Esther. For in its glorious history, we shall cometh to know of and admire our foremother Esther, the queen.

I might say, the courageous queen of king Ahasuerus was a most faithful and quite uncharacteristically humble queen who feared and reverenced our Adonai.

Excerpt to the Exposition Commentary to the Book of Esther by Apostle Tonya

Question and Answers: Spiritual Warfare

By Apostle Tonya

Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight. The Book of Psalms 144:1

Might it be well if I answereth a question today, everyone?

With reverence unto the Lordship of Christ, I shall say it is with most highest regard to Christ and the Spirit of God who
superintendeth the training in the spirit to serve and in spiritual warfare.

Principally, I held a concern for the blessedness of delicacy as a woman in ministry. In the lovingkindess of the Father, He responded and willed for me to train in the spirit with blessed and sacred care for my concern.

Chiefly, I suppose I hath learned the adversary most abhorreth when I ignore him. In this, he hath ofttimes sought to distract me with my losses. Notwithstanding it, I continueth on by the grace of Christ to ignore his works for me to focus upon it.

Taketh for example, if I shall endure a moment wherein I embrace the magnitude of the losses; I may say, I ofttimes might name call the enemy (that is by his Biblical names). Further, I never acknowledge the names of the adversary in my spontaneous worship to the Blessed One!

Continuing on, I may so say, I ofttimes may discern the wonder and awe of the Master’s delight when I declare to the adversary this…

… satan, you have no power over my Blessed Master, and He is going to get you most soon! And you are not touching anyone else because I know how to fight you back!

Most humorous it is ofttimes in the glory, dearest friends!

Youth Pursuing Christ

By Apostle Tonya

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 3 John 1:4

Surely, the Blessed Master knoweth I shall be eternally grateful for the honor the ministry hast to serve the youth, who are increasing in number.

I shall say, the youth are pursuing righteousness, and in their admiration of Christ are most young glory seekers!

Speaking of the youth, I may suppose many of you might remembereth a series entitled, ‘Youth Pursuing Christ,’ wherein I interviewed several youths dearest to my heart about their spiritual walks here on Heaven’s Pen.

Might I now say, one of the youths interviewed was my dearest, Seon. May I now share with you an answer to one of Seon’s questions I asked him during our interview several years ago?

Apostle Tonya: One final question Seon, if Christ, was dining with you alone today as He dined with His Disciples after His glorious Resurrection, as recorded in The Book of John, Chapter 21, how might you desire your conversation with our Holy Christ to be?

Seon: I would ask Christ what can I and Christians as a whole do to continue to spread the holy message. I would also ask Him what can I do better specifically to lead me closer to Him!

Apostle Tonya: Amen. My dearest Seon, I want to thank you most kindly for sharing your pure heart and devotion for our Risen Christ with the readers of Heaven’s Pen.

Continuing on, I pray the response of Seon shall most inspireth the youth pursuing Christ today! For this certain series, and the growing family of teens studying Christ through the ministry hath caused a most glorious release from the Father in the ministry, everyone!

And so, with deliberate reverence to the Son of God I shall say the ministry is delighted to announce a new weekly update on the ministry for the teens is now live on the website!

Thy Lord be praised!

Gifts of the Spirit

By Apostle Tonya

In speaking succinctly on the gifts of the spirit, I shall say as we delight in the Dearest Comforter He shall be faithful to manifest His will and the desires of our hearts.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. I Corinthians 12:4

Further, I may suppose the Blessed Holy Spirit shall impart the immeasurable and
eternal gift of a loyal and obedient heart to the Throne Room of our most Holy God.

And so, may we remembereth as Believers of Christ the holy secrets and revelations wherefore are granted from Heaven to us shall cometh with spiritual maturity and the heart to be trusted by eternity with it!

Knowing the Scriptures

By Apostle Tonya

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. St. Matthew 22:29

Surely, it is a most blessed honor we hath been granted reading the Holy Bible. What awe and wonder it is reading the life of our Holy Majesty and even of the Son of God’s attendance in the temple whereinto He entered to inclineth His ears to the teachings and reading of the Scriptures.

I gather I may say, for me, reading the sacred Scriptures is the place where I remaineth for hours with the Blessed Master. Ofttimes I am most comfortable sitting on the floor delighting in the sacred Word.

And so, might I say to my brethren who are in a season partaking of Christ sufferings; be most faithful reading the Scriptures. For even during the occasions when our Holy God is most silent; His righteous eyes remaineth upon you.

Victory in Christ

By Apostle Tonya

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. St. Matthew 4:1

Might it be well to speaketh today of our Holy Christ during the occasion of the forty days and forty nights wherefore our Lord spent in the wilderness and was tempted by the adversary?

Chiefly, I shall say it appeareth the Son of God purposed to superintend training us on the temptations of the enemy wherefore shall cometh, and is defeated with the sword of the Spirit.

With deliberate reverence unto the Son of God who sitteth on the Right-Hand side of God, the Father, may I taketh a moment to further expound on the passages recorded in St. Matthew 4:1-11?

Peradventure, the Son of God purposed to also teacheth us as Believers of Christ who may seeketh Him in fasting and prayer, the enemy shall as a thief audaciously attempt to enter into the Holy of Holies.

Continuing on, I shall say even in this we must remaineth in the strength of Jesus Christ and focus on the Cross. For the tempter’s strategy is the selfsame recorded throughout the Holy Bible.

In truth, it hath been even from the Garden of Eden unto the Gospels of God the tempter conspires to stealeth the order of worship, hearts from our Holy God, undermine the Father’s authority, and confuse the Scriptures.

And so, let us remembereth our devotion and loyalty belongeth unto the Godhead, and in Christ we shall remaineth victorious!
