Abounding in Thanksgiving

By Apostle Tonya

Might I say, thy Lord knows I most love the comfort and blessedness of His fellowship, resting with Him writing in my journal and enjoying a hot cup of my favorite tea!

Surely, it is most precious to me to record my thoughts on Scriptures and the sacred words from the Blessed Master.

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

I gather I shall say for November’s Monthly Glory Offer, it is my heart to release a new gratitude and prayer journal from my line of journals.

Oh, how it is surely my prayer you shall most delight in the blessedness of the Dearest Comforter’s presence abounding in thanksgiving as you record your hearts within its pages!

And so, the ‘Abounding in Thanksgiving’ journal shall be available on November 10th on the ministry’s website. I may say also the journal shall be available in select retail stores in December!

Most grateful!

The Splendor of a Cloud

By Apostle Tonya

The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet. Nahum 1:3

Surely, I giveth our Holy God the praise for the most splendid vision whereby I beheld yesterday afternoon.

I shall say on the occasion of resting in the presence of the Spirit of God, He suddenly revealed a most profound cloud upon the ceiling! How I shall say the blessedness of the cloud was most detailed with its fluffiness, and because of its magnificence it appeared to cometh from the very clouds adorning the blue sky into my room!

Oh, how I hath tears at the generosity and lovingkindness of our Blessed Father toward us!

Most holy!

The Blessed Holy Spirit

By Apostle Tonya

I might say, as Believers of Christ, our hearts should be most reverential toward the Blessed Holy Spirit. Further, we must hath a heart to desireth pure intimacy with Him. In this pursuit, we shall surely build a most sacred Friendship with the Third Person of the Godhead, who is our faithful Comforter on the Earth!

Continuing on, might I say, the Holy Bible remindeth us of the blessedness of being still in the presence of the Spirit of God. Chiefly, I shall say I am speaking of Psalm 46:10, wherefore the verse reads:

‘Be still, and know that I am God.’

Certainly, it is continuing in daily rest with the Spirit of God, wherefore shall strengthen and train our spiritual hearing to hearest Him.

And so, how else may we cometh to know the Blessed Holy Spirit, who principally enables us to teacheth and witness about the Son of God?

Oh, I hath found it is only in abiding and worshiping His Holiness!

Preparing for Ministry

By Apostle Tonya

Might I say, in preparation for ministry, the Blessed One shall first call His servant into a season of consecration, isolation and pruning to prepareth him or her for His Service. For our most Holy God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob must invariably be glorified in His vessels.

The Book of Esther: Bible Commentary

Esther, whose Hebrew name was Hadassah, childhood story was not a fairytale. As a matter of fact, as an orphan, she was raised by her beloved cousin, Mordecai, who was her guardian and only parent. In attending to study her childhood and upbringing, we may discern Mordecai raised Hadassah to hath fear of our Holy One.

Peradventure, the upbringing of Mordecai disciplined Esther, the Queen for a blessed life of prayer, unwavering faith, and reverence unto the Holy One of Israel.

Christ and His Closest Friends

By Apostle Tonya

May it please our most Holy God if I returneth to the sunset where the Eternal Son of God and His Disciples observed Passover! For on that occasion, that is, on the eventide of Passover, the very Son of God was betrayed by His Disciple, Judas Iscariot.

Continuing on, I shall say, Judas seemingly premeditated his betrayal of the Son of Man even before the disciple was at our Lord’s sacred Table!

Might we read the texts describing this profound eternal truth?

‘Then entered satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him unto them. St. Luke 22:3-4

Most astonishing, isn’t it?

Notwithstanding the Son of God’s manifest knowledge of the betrayer’s earlier steps wherein Judas Iscariot secretly departed from the blessed fellowship and ministry of Messiah, the Passover meal continued.

Might I conclude for now and say, (with this most holy imagery of the establishment of the Holy Communion in mind), the solemnity of the Passover was prepared by the Apostles John and Peter for the Son of God and the remaining apostles. St. Luke 22:8

And so, with deliberate reverence to the Lordship of Christ, I may say both of the apostles principally were most closest to the Heart of Christ! Amen.

Messiah

By Apostle Tonya

And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it. St. Matthew 26:27

Might I say, the Eternal Son of God appeareth to hath desired to grant encouragement to His Disciples before His earthly Departure during the Last Supper. In this, the Son of God principally granted the apostles the most blessed promises of what would be awaiting them in eternity as they would be eternally reunited with Christ.

And so, I may say, it was perhaps in part Christ’s reward to them for their loyalty and service unto Him.

Walk through the Gospels: A Study on the Apostle Peter

By Apostle Tonya

Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice. St. John 13:38

Ofttimes, we might want to examine the Scriptures to study the character of the Disciple Peter who even rebuked the Christ. Peradventure, it is there we are granted a glimpse of a man of God who was most courageous, yet, astoundingly flawed in character serving our Blessed Lord.

For your reading, The Gospels: “A Study on Apostle Peter” hath now been released as a free eBook on the “Glory Resources” page of the ministry’s website.

Dreams at Night

By Apostle Tonya

In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then He openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction. Job 33:15-16

Surely, our Holy One loves us with an everlasting love and He trusteth us with the divine revelation in our dreams for our good!
