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!

Most surely, I giveth the Blessed Master thanks for the many blessed prayers wherefore hath been heard by our Holy God with regard to the journals.

I shall say then, the ministry is thrilled to honor the prayers with a new page established on the website devoted to my journal collection line.

Thank you most kindly for your prayers, everyone!

For Such A Time as This

By Apostle Tonya

With awe of our most Holy God, we giveth Him praise for the strength and courage He graciously imparted into Esther!

Notwithstanding the absence of a loving mother to raiseth her, Hadassah astoundingly became a humble queen who feared The Highest. And it was His holiness and eternal power, that Esther trusted and turned to to delivereth herself and her people, the Jews, from the wicked plot of Haman.

Prayer for healing

By Apostle Tonya

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

Master, I cometh before Thee to pray for those who are afflicted in their bodies! Might Thou who is merciful and the same yesterday, today, and forever, visit them and healeth your Children today?

Oh, Dearest Master, I beseech Thee to even quickeneth whom Thou will. Amen!

The Bread of Life

By Apostle Tonya

And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. St. John 6:10

I might say, it well so agreed with the Godhead, our Lord, who was declared to be the Son of God, with power and authority principally planned that most of His Ministry would occur around the shores of the Sea of Galilee.

Ofttimes, as we read the Gospels of God, as recorded in St. John 6, of the Bread of Life’s most intimate teachings that even of Christ sitting upon the mountains and our Lord discerning the multitude were most famished.

And Jesus took the loaves; and when He had given thanks, He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. St. John 6:11

In the sacred pages of this Chapter, the beloved Disciple John fundamentally records Christ’s concern for His followers who spiritually hungered. In this, Christ provided the nourishment for their souls and further supplied their needs with sustenance.

And so, surely, the Son of God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever remaineth faithful to supplieth our needs according to His riches in glory!

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.
