The Lord is thy Keeper

By Apostle Tonya

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

Surely, the photographs and footages of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton hast been most stunningly painful for even our eyes to behold. Ofttimes, we might feel most helpless at the suffering of many who hath been affected in this natural catastrophe. Yet, may we remembereth thy Holy Lord is a most merciful and compassionate, Eternal God; who is a very present help in times of trouble.

May we continueth to pray and even serve those who hath been tragically affected by the hurricane; as we hath been granted the strength and resources from Christ to serve the victims.

And so, as I considereth the faithfulness of our Merciful One, might I encourage the dearest families today who are in the paths of the hurricane’s destruction? Might you hath the blessedness of the sufficient grace of our Great Sufferer, Christ Jesus to continueth to look unto the hills from whence cometh your help, friends.

Our Holy One shall answereth your cries. Amen.

Youth Pursuing Christ: Worshipping the King of Glory

By Apostle Tonya

Most surely, it is a blessed honor to introduce to you the third youth in the “Youth for Christ” series whereby began this past August on “Heaven’s Pen”.

I giveth our Risen Christ the laud, glory and honor for this feature is of my anointed niece, Leah. And I might say, dearest friends, the Eternal Spirit of God hath bestowed a most blessed anointing upon Leah to draweth art from the Throne Room. Isaiah 64:8

Consequently, Leah’s, late maternal grandfather, Ronald Vaughn, my late father, was a most gifted artist (and a police officer) honored for his art throughout New York City. How I might say, it was a most creative life for my three younger siblings and me for in childhood we were surrounded by my late Dad’s blessed art of notable leaders.

It is my prayer you shalt be most blessed with this feature of my most beautiful, niece, a worshiper who hath chosen to draweth art to declare her blessed love for our Beloved Christ.

Oh, and let it be with my dearest, Leah as I hath written in the previous youth article. How I may say I discern the great cloud of witnesses in Heaven rooting for Leah. Hebrews 12.

And so, Go, Leah Victoria, go!

Our most Holy God be glorified! Amen.

Apostle Tonya: Leah, might we speaketh about your heart to worship, Christ. First, how does worship prepareth you for your everyday life as a teenager?

Leah: Worship to me is to magnify Christ whether living or dying. I see worship as revealing Christ as He is: magnificent and exalting Him in every part of my life. And worship prepares me for my everyday life because worshipping helps me to overcome any challenges and obstacles I may face daily.

Apostle Tonya: Amen, Leah! How most glorious it is to hearest your adoration for our Blessed Christ.

Now Leah, might you desireth to share with the youth that may read this article, how our Holy God might lead you to worship Him in your art? How was the first occasion of worship in art for you, Leah?

Leah: I can’t really explain how God led me to worship Him through art. All I know is that He has blessed me with this gift, and I’m so grateful.

Because of this blessing of art, I will do my best to use it for the good. I want to encourage teenagers and say, whatever gift God has given you, use it for His will. By doing this, God will continue to bless you.

And I thank God for all things.

Apostle Tonya: How blessed is the purity of your heart to giveth thanks to Christ for your gift, Leah! I may say, it remindeth me of the Scripture recorded in Luke 6:45 whereby says that a good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good. And dearest Leah, your heart surely bringeth forth good. Might your blessed worship unto Adonai, continueth to be a pure fragrance unto His Blessed Nostrils.

Now one final question, Leah. How are you led by the Spirit of God to witness about Christ to your unbelieving classmates?

Leah: I like to post Scriptures of encouragement every Sunday, and to spread the Word of God to my friends either through our conversations or on social media. And what I often share with my friends and social media is how we should worship and of my foundation and beliefs. I also often share my testimonies; so that it may encourage them if they are faced with any difficulties or challenges in their lives. It is my desire to help them and continue to witness of Jesus by doing this.

Apostle Tonya: Amen, blessed, Leah.

How I praise our Holy Lord for your most robust spiritual walk. Surely, your cup runneth over, my dearest, Leah!

If you have not accepted Christ, as your Savior. Might you pray this prayer with me today and ask Christ Jesus to cometh into your heart?

Dear Heavenly Father, I give myself to You and confess that Jesus is Lord! As it is written in the Holy Bible in Romans 10:9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

I thank You Jesus for coming into my heart now. I declare I am saved!

Christ, I ask You for the special Gift of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Luke 11:13 and Acts 2:4, so that I may live a life pleasing to You. In Your Name Jesus, I pray, Amen.

Welcome to the Blessed Family of God, dearest one!

Questions & Answers: Christ, and His mother, Mary

By Apostle Tonya

Surely, I pray you shall be most encouraged in this question and answer wherefore I might conclude hast been on the hearts of many of you that follow Christ and this ministry. Amen.

How was Jesus relationship with His mother, Mary?

Answer:

Surely, in the Gospels, as we examine the relationship between Christ and His mother, Mary, the Scriptures record the Incarnate Son of God, honored His mother as she remained in His Father’s will. Luke 8:20-21.

And so, I gather it is perhaps on the blessed Cross and Christ’s emphatic Decision for Mary’s care that conclusively speaketh of our Blessed Savior’ eternal devotion to His dearest mother, who was most highly-favored and blessed among women by our Holy Father. Amen.

The Wisdom of An Ant

By Apostle Tonya

Surely, I giveth thy Lord the laud, honor and glory for the release of The Wisdom of an Ant.

I might say, this teaching whereby I further expound on Lily, the orchid and the ants is the most in-depth teaching on the wisdom of Christ; which I have been graced by thy Lord in His goodness to teacheth.

And so, The Wisdom of an Ant is now available on the ministry’s website, and on Amazon.com.

Our Holy Christ be praised alone.

Questions & Answers

By Apostle Tonya

Most surely, I am honored the Blessed Holy Spirit hast led me to continueth to answer your questions on the Holy Bible, and our Holy Father’s blessed glory.

And so, I pray you shall be most encouraged on the occasions answers are posted on Heaven’s Pen for thy Lord’s glory. Amen.

How do we live a pure life for Jesus?

Answer:

Surely, the Book of Psalms 119:1, remindeth us that blessed are the undefiled that walketh in the law of thy Lord. And it is principally the Spirit of God, and the sovereignty of His Ministry whereby grants a believer of Christ this blessedness of sanctification.

Might I further say in answering the question, the enemy shalt seek to perpetually conspire to defile a pure vessel. Yet, we have the victory in our Dearest Master, as we remaineth most faithful to live a spiritually balanced life according to the Scriptures.

And so, be most encouraged and remember the Holy Bible continually cleanseth our way. Amen.

Loyalty to the Cross

By Apostle Tonya

As Christ, astonishingly walked the courageous steps to His crucifixion, our suffering Lord turned and looked upon the countenance of His Disciple, Peter. Luke 22:61.

The devoted Apostle who once walked upon the seas for Christ; and cut off the ear of Malchus as Christ was arrested; had tragically denied Christ. In Simon Peter’s denial of the Christ; he even forsook the blessedness of the fellowship of Christ’ sufferings.

And so, I might suppose in that defining moment of Peter’s ministry, when Christ, blessed eyes of grace pierced through the heart of the suddenly fearful disciple, he wept bitterly in repentance.

So then, might we wonder how may it hath been that Peter received the words of Christ, trained and even dined with Him; but in the end would fail to be loyal to the Dearest Master unto the steps of the Cross?

Youth Pursuing Christ: Winning Souls

By Apostle Tonya

Surely, it is a most blessed honor to introduce to you the second youth in the “Youth for Christ” series. And how I praise thy Lord for him, my dearest nephew, Josiah whom the Blessed Holy Spirit hath granted a desire to witness to those whom hath never heard of the Blessed Savior.

Might you then imagine the blessed Heart of Christ in Josiah, a freshman in High School and football player, testifying of his bold witness of Christ to the youth of his generation, dearest friends? Oh, how I may say, I can almost hearest the cloud of witnesses in Heaven rooting for him: Go, Josiah, go!

And so, it is my prayer you might invite a youth to read this interview. May our youth be most encouraged in their witnessing of our Blessed One; and knowest the righteous are bold as a lion.

Our Holy Christ be glorified. Amen.

Apostle Tonya: Josiah, might you share with the readers of Heaven’s Pen, and most particular, the youth who shall read this interview of a memorable Scripture that Christ hast spake to your heart?

Josiah: Once I went to church the pastor said something that really struck me and I would like to share it, he said: “You can’t be dead inside and have the Spirit of God!” Meaning God, the Blood and Spirit is always with you; giving you the strength to do what you can every day.

Apostle Tonya: Oh, that is a most marvelous and encouraging word, Josiah! Let us speaketh about witnessing about Christ now. May you share how you feel the Holy Spirit leads You to witness about Christ to your friends who does not know Him?

Josiah: Well, when I spent time with some friends, after awhile I knew that they had no knowledge about Christ, whatsoever. At one point, I wanted to help them and I did by sending them videos from the internet which talked about different Scriptures; and that just mainly focused on Christ.

Apostle Tonya: What blessed witnessing for Christ, Josiah! The Scriptures remindeth us as believers of Christ that when we witness of the Savior and win souls, we are wise. And you, dearest Josiah, are most wise!

Now, Josiah, may you giveth a teenager who may read this article a tip on how to pray to Christ Jesus?

Josiah: I would say to mainly speak the truth and speak from the heart in prayer. Remember you can tell Christ anything and you won’t have to worry about it being repeated, or people gossiping to one another about it.

Apostle Tonya: Josiah, I think this is a most blessed tip! It is also one I am certain might encourage the youth to be led by the Blessed Holy Spirit to meditate on the Scripture recorded in Proverbs 11:13 and practice in their friendships.

One last question, Josiah, if Jesus was dining with you alone today as He dined with His Disciples after His Resurrection (in the Book of John, Chapter 21), how might you desire your conversation to be with our Beloved Christ?

Josiah: I would mainly just ask Christ what’s the purpose of my life and how to live right.

Apostle Tonya: Praise thy Lord, for your heart, Josiah.

I might say to encourage you, I gather it is in the youth seasons of life when thy Lord is most faithful to causeth us to know of our purpose in life. And ofttimes our purpose in life may manifest in the matters dearest to our heart.

And so, Josiah, I pray Christ, in His lovingkindness grant you an answer according to Colossians 1:9.

Dearest nephew, it hast abundantly blessed my heart interviewing you; and I shall never forget it.

Is Jesus in your heart? Might you pray this prayer with me to accept Christ Jesus as your Savior?

I thank You Jesus for coming into my heart now. I declare I am saved!

And Christ, I ask You for the special Gift of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Luke 11:13 and Acts 2:4, so I may live a life pleasing to You. In Your Holy Name, I pray, Amen.

Youth Pursuing Christ

By Apostle Tonya

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

Most surely, I shall be eternally grateful for this blessed interview with the first featured youth in the series, “Youth Pursuing Christ”. Might I say, it was of a delightful conversation with Seon (pronounced See awn), one of thy Lord’s youth, with most robust faith and testimonies who is dearest to my heart (and many of the early family in the ministry and former staff hath met).

And so, it is my prayer that you might delight in the Eternal One as you read about this blessed and most anointed, youth of Christ. I may say, our Blessed Redeemer was most faithful to revealeth to Seon’s father, his dear mother, Brittany and even to myself when Seon, was a gifted toddler he was called to serve Christ for such a time as this.

May our Holy Christ be glorified. Amen.

Apostle Tonya: Seon, let us speaketh about our Beloved Christ. How does reading and studying Christ’ Ministry prepare you for your everyday life as a teenager?

Seon: It prepares me by having my mind and spirit set so that the temptations and beliefs of the world are restrained from me.

Apostle Tonya: Most wonderful, Seon! Would you share with us an encouraging Scripture Christ might hath granted to you to encourage your spiritual walk with Him?

Seon: Yes, one Scripture I think about often is John 10:30 when Christ says: “I and my Father are one.”

Apostle Tonya: Most blessed, Seon! We must study together about this passage of our Holy God and Christ, the Incarnate Son of God.

Now Seon, how does the Dearest Holy Spirit lead You to witness about Christ to your friends and classmates? And have you thought about growing in this area of your life and how it might affect your daily life?

Seon: The Holy Spirit leads me to witness Christ by first helping me to see Christ everywhere in my life; with my friends and by referring to Christlike topics. I do believe I can grow in this area. Witnessing also affects me by keeping my relationship with Christ and out of the world.

Apostle Tonya: Most blessed answer, Seon. Speaking of witnessing about Christ, let us remembereth thy Lord’s Brother, James spake in his epistle of the blessedness of witnessing to the lost. For James 5:20 records, “that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death..”

Seon, may you want to giveth a teenager who may read this article (3) three tips on how to cultivate an obedient heart that reverence God?

Seon: Yes, one is: Don’t crave to social pressure that is against the Bible. Two: Try to build discipline when it comes to Christlike activities such as praying, reading the Bible, and saying grace. Three: Put imagery on the things you own that will remind you of God.

Apostle Tonya: Oh, these are most wise tips on spiritual discipline, Seon!

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”.

Surely, thy Lord knows I admire your blessed love for Him. Amen.

If you have not accepted Christ, as your Savior. Might you pray this prayer with me today and ask Christ Jesus to cometh into your heart?

I thank You Jesus for coming into my heart now. I declare I am saved!

Christ, I ask You for the special Gift of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Luke 11:13 and Acts 2:4, so that I may live a life pleasing to You. In Your Name Jesus, I pray, Amen.

Welcome to the Blessed Family of God, dearest one!

The Book of Remembrance

By Apostle Tonya

Surely, in the blessed passage recorded in Psalm 91:2, we read of the authority and honor as believers of Christ, we hath to declare who our most Holy God is to us. In it, we causeth our Father to incline His Ears to our holy affection and fear of Him. In His lovingkindness, our Lord shall response to us with a glorious Book of Remembrance of our awe and wonder of Him as recorded in Malachi 3:16:

Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

Dearest friends, might we speaketh to each other of our love for He, who is most holy and sitteth on The Throne!

Christ hath Redeemed us

By Apostle Tonya

Great Architect and Engineer of our lives, we plea with You to forgiveth us and our families for touching and removing landmarks, territories and properties whereby were not ours. And Father, forgiveth us for causing the rising up and building of which You cursed and destroyed according to Joshua 6:26 and Deuteronomy 27:17.
