Celebrating the Birth of our Lord Jesus

By Apostle Tonya

May the blessed Presence of our Beautiful Master dwelleth in your homes in this most glorious, joyous season of celebrating His Birth.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:9-11

Intimacy with the Holy Spirit

By Apostle Tonya

Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Psalm 37:4

As Children of the Blessed Comforter, we are most blessed to receive an Invitation from thy Lord to pursue and delight in Him.  How marvelously might the Spirit of God lead us into this holy intimacy with Him?  The Holy Spirit may lead us into His Chambers when we are simply acknowledging Him in all of our ways, reading the Holy Bible, and worshipping Him in spirit and in truth.  These acts of worship also will surely causeth sensitivity to hear the still Voice of our Friend, Holy Spirit.  

Our hearts should reverence and honor the Holy Spirit and desire intimacy with Him wherefore shall surely build the Holy Friendship with the Third Person of the Godhead.  The Scriptures remind us in Psalm 46:10:  Be still, and know that He is God.  And in continuing in rest with thy Lord daily:  taking quiet walks with Him and devotional prayer is how the Blessed Friendship with Him is strengthened.  The Lord’s promise to us is sure as we delight in Him, He is faithful to giveth us the desires of our hearts and loyal, obedient hearts to the Throne for His glory.  

Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods?  who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?  Exodus 15:11 

Dear ones, our hearts must be intentional in our devotional time with our Beloved Lord.  In our Friendship with Him, the Spirit of God reveal to us the deep things of our Wonderful Father and expect from us discretion with those treasures.  Let us remember, the secrets and revelations from Heaven cometh with maturity and acquiring the heart to be trusted with it.  

What a marvelous Friend and Comforter, thy Lord is to His Children!

The Blessed Master’s Birth: Coronation of our Humble King

By Apostle Tonya

In the Scriptures, we are surely bestowed honor from the Holy One of Israel with the most Holy Invitation of our lives: to experience the miraculous Birth of the Lord God’s only Begotten, Son.  In awe, ofttimes we read with tears of The Coronation of our Humble King, who because there was no room for His Blessed Birth in the inn was Born in a manger and wrapped in swaddling clothes. Luke 2:9-11  

In this most humble record of our Blessed Master’s Birth, our Father’s endearing love for us  (the Lord God manifested in the Flesh) continue to reveal His Humble Heart, commandment for our hearts, how we must bow and worship Him, and the true meaning of Christmas.  And what magnificence we also read of in the Scriptures of the Marvelous Sign and Wonder from Heaven:  The Star, in the east, shining brilliantly to guide the wise men as they journeyed to meet our Savior, Christ the Lord. Matthew 2:2, 9-11

Quite spectacularly, we remaineth in astonishment in reading of the strategic Divine events surrounding thy Lord’s Birth over two-thousand years ago:  the Spirit of God miraculously imparting into the hearts of the wise men to hold reverence, honor, fear and trembling with great enthusiasm for The Child and Humble King.    

In this most Holy season as we surround ourselves with family traditions, celebrations and exchanging gifts with those dear to our hearts let us beseech thy Blessed Holy Spirit for hearts to remember the most glorious Birth of our Beloved Jesus Christ of Nazareth: Born to save the world.  Luke 19:10  

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.  Luke 2:13-14

Preparing for Ministry

By Apostle Tonya

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.  2 Timothy 4:2 

Before we can begin to walk into any assignment in the Kingdom of God, we must first embrace the Blessed Master’s Heart for His Children on how to serve as He taught the Disciples and His Followers in the Holy Bible.  Therefore, there must be a hunger for the Word of God and a firm understanding of it in order to serve in ministry.   

Most certainly, as we delight in the Gospels, we are blessed to experience thy Blessed Savior’s Beauty: a most meek, lowly and humble Heart and read with awe as our Lord’s Followers hungered and listened to the Master’s Wisdom.  How magnificent it must have been to rest at thy Lord’s Feet and hear the Glorious Parables of our Blessed Storyteller and Teacher! 

Ofttimes, it is the miracles of the Risen Lord whereby we may choose to first study to prepare for ministry.  Praise the Holy Spirit, for as we yield to Him, He is most faithful to teach and direct us to study the love, gentleness, meekness and perfect leadership of our King of Glory.  This step of studying the Lord Jesus’ Character in the Holy Bible as part of your preparation for ministry is where I want to encourage you to take the first step to begin.  Surely, as His Children we must know and love the Blessed Master to be released to serve and preach the truth about Him.  

In order to begin to prepare for ministry, the Blessed One will call His servant into a season of consecration, isolation and pruning to prepare him or her for Service.  For the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob must always be glorified in His vessels.   

Let us read what the Spirit of Truth tells us in Romans 8:30:  

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.  

Therefore, we know that we must be set apart in a season of consecration with the Lord to prepare for the ministry He has given to use to steward in the Earth realm for His glory.  For it is in travailing prayer, sacrifice and ofttimes seasons of loneliness whereby the preparation shall bring forth the pure ministry thy Lord will be pleased to honor and His Holy Name is glorified.

The Gift of the Holy Spirit

By Apostle Tonya

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.  Acts 1:8 

Many years ago, on a most wonderful evening I entered into an unassuming storefront church in my former hometown of Brooklyn which hosted The School of Prophets where I had become a newly enrolled student.  At the conclusion of the first session for the new breed of prophets, the faithful leader, a Mother-in-Zion most respected as a major prophet in New York City stood in the midst of the Blessed Presence of the Lamb of God leading glorious worship.  Suddenly, the Mother’ eyes were fixed upon me as she spake of the Spirit of God’s power and then asked if I wanted to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.  Terrified I became at this Divine Invitation wherefore for certain years was a yearning in my heart before attending The School of the Prophets.  Yet, I became fearful at the Holy Invitation.  For although I felt thy Blessed Master was ordering my steps to begin attending formal training in ministry, in my heart hid the truth:  I had no desire to exit the comfort and somewhat successful life wherefore thy Lord had been gracious to give me to entereth into a life in ministry. 

Moments after receiving the Heavenly Invitation, I walked nervously to the center of the church’s altar to meet thy Blessed Majesty.  And, there in a most humble sanctuary, Heaven’s portal was opened over the powerful Mother and me.  Orchestrated by Angels, the Mother handed me a small perfectly-wrapped gift box as she encouraged me to receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit.  Praise thy Lord, as I opened the top of the gift box, I received the most Loyal Friend, the Blessed Holy Spirit and His power.  

Surely, I am most grateful to thy Lord for His patience and generosity to giveth me strategic moments like the School of Prophets wherefore helped to shaped a reluctant life in ministry. 

Ofttimes, over the years of our Friendship I have grieved the Holy Spirit while in suffering seasons.  Yet, my Dearest One has remaineth faithful as a Comforter who fundamentally diagnose every trial, persecution and sin.   

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.  Psalm 29:2

Remembering my Mother

By Apostle Tonya

The memory of the just is blessed. Proverbs 10:7

Days before my mother’s transition to Heaven, I was led by the Blessed Holy Spirit to remaineth with her for a certain time in her blessed home filled with the aroma of prayers and her unwavering faith to be healed from a sickness whereby had afflicted her most greatly.  Thy Lord’s grace was sufficient for me to care for His Daughter during this time whereby ofttimes I became overcome in tears as I discerned the Holy Presence surrounding my mother was most unusual.  Those precious days spent doing my mother’s hair and dressing her would become our final days together on Earth.  

My dearest mother, my first best-friend and spiritual mother lived a joyous and abundant life for the Lord Jesus whom she pleased.  Mother answered every telephone call with a song exalting our Blessed Master.  She most enjoyed worshipping thy Lord and reading the Holy Bible wherefore her Friend, our Risen Lord bestowed a generous grace of wisdom upon her to teach.  Today, October 27th would have marked a milestone birthday for my mother. In recent days, my family, her church family and leaders gathered together to remember her legacy during a special virtual candlelight vigil and I finally laughed at the fond memories of her; most precious and pure.   

It has been quite some years since my beloved mother departed this Earth for her Heavenly Home.  Yet, I must say for me a long season of mourning was spent.  I am most thankful to our Blessed Master, our Healer who healed my broken-heart from the unexpected transition of my mother to His Everlasting Arms years ago.  And I giveth our Risen Lord the praise, glory and honor for giving her a special life wherefore I remaineth most honored to cherish and remember.  Amen.

Prayer against Monitoring Spirits

By Apostle Tonya

And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:  The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.  And this did she many days.  But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.  And he came out the same hour.  Acts 16:16-18 

Blessed and Merciful Father, we entereth into Your Holy Presence with thanksgiving and praise O Lord of Hosts.  Holy One of Israel, we declare Thou art Holy O Lord and Holy in all Your works.  Jehovah Gibbor, we reverence and bless You and thank You for our Risen Lord Jesus and the Blessed Holy Spirit. 

God of Jacob in the Name of Your Son, our Blessed Lord Jesus, the Name above every Name we Declare the Precious Blood of Jesus is our Hedge of Protection.  O God that Hearest prayer we beseech you to hear our cry and attend unto our prayer as we cry out to You Holy One believing by faith you shall Answereth us according to Mark 11:23 and Mark 11:24.  Father of Glory, according to Matthew 18:18 we now bind every familiar spirit and monitoring spirit.  

Blessed Lord Jesus, we exercise the dominion and authority whereby You O Lord hath given to us according to Luke 10:19 and declare we have power and authority over evil powers and monitoring spirits.  Blessed Yeshua, we thank You for the forgiveness of our sins according to First John, Chapter one verse nine and close all doors and channels opened knowingly and unknowingly by us and apply Your Precious Blood over our mind, will, emotions, homes and whereabouts.  We decree every bird, cat or dog sent to monitor and locate us receive spiritual blindness now.  And we release arrows of the Lord against every conspiracy of the enemy and powers of darkness against us and our families.  We command Angels of Protection from the North, South, West and East to bear us up in their hands lest we dash ourselves against a stone.  Thank You, Righteous Father for our Protection and for being our Shield and Buckler.  We thank You Master for the Word remindeth us Your Name is a strong tower and the righteous runneth into it and we are safe. 

Thank You Beloved Lord for receiving this prayer and for Answering it.  We adore You, Lion of Judah, our Beloved Lord Jesus. 

To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and ever. Amen.

Angels of Destiny

By Apostle Tonya

To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the Heaven and in a season of testing and editing of my life thy Lord God most faithfully revealed His purposes for me in the Earth and commanded me as He had to our Forefather Abraham:  to get thee out of thy native until a land that I will shew thee.  Genesis 12:1

For such a time, I most certainly delighted in thy Lord in hours of prayer and sitting quietly with Him; pouring out my love to our Beautiful, Beloved Master. It was where I became most comfortable.  Throughout my life, I spent surrounded by many people and was never alone for any great length of time.  Suddenly, my most dearest sisters, friends of whom held memories with me for decades thy Master was drawing me away from to His Chambers for what would become a long season of isolation.  Looking back at these moments of a pivotal path in my new journey to serve was certainly the genesis of a life dwelling in the Ancient of Days Chambers. 

Ofttimes the Holy Spirit was faithful to lead me to take long strolls throughout my hometown whereby thy Lord was instructing me to leave and in this I was filled with such joy as I worshipped Him.  At times during my walks with thy Lord, I would ofttimes be carried away in the spirit as I worshipped Him and lifted up my arms in the air.  Yet, sorrow had entereth my heart as I pondered on the memories and love wherefore the Master was asking of me to sacrifice.  Perhaps my heart responded to the Risen Lord as the Disciples had when our Lord sat intimately with them in the Book of John, Chapter 16 verse 6:

But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

It was settled in Heaven.  My time had come to an end in my beloved hometown and the time to enter into the new land promised to me wherefore I was most afraid.  Yet, thy Lord is ever-faithful. Shortly after this, the Spirit of God bestowed upon me a dream wherefore caused me to be awakened with a reminder of the fragility of life with Blessed Words lovingly cautioning me to obey Him no matter the cost. 

One glorious afternoon, I was invited to lunch with a Daughter of Zion, a Seer also from New York.  She was most faithful to yield to the Lord and giveth me encouragement to heal the sorrow that had come with His commandment to depart from my hometown.  As we delighted in fellowship, thy Lord’s magnificent splendor was revealed in an intimate restaurant in Brooklyn.  Suddenly as I sat across from the precious daughter she plainly declared, Apostle Tonya, there are Angels all around you!  They are standing behind you.  The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had answered.  The Angels were released to help me to fulfil destiny.   

Thy Lord is most kind.  I surely love Him more than these; yet the sacrifice of leaving my family and spiritual family behind caused great sorrow and with the blessed Heavenly Encounter help for me was released from the celestial realm to cross over.  Psalm 103:20

Ofttimes during seasons of promotion and testing the Lord God will trieth our hearts to test its pure love for Him.  The Lord God is a Jealous God and command we love Him with all our heart, soul and mind.  And there are times in our walk with the Blessed Lord when we may become frustrated with His Plan.  I implore you to remaineth obedient, minister to thy Lord in worship, seek wise counsel, walk in faith-filled shoes and trust in the Holy One with all thine heart.   

Jesus Lord, my best love Thou Art; we two never, ever will part; thy Dear Presence is all my breath and might; Thy Dear Smile is all my delight.
