Praying for the Children

by Apostle Tonya

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 18:10

Friends, today, I hope you would join us as we pray for the protection and emotional health of the children returning or has returned to the classrooms this school year during the pandemic.

And, for the next six months, I am donating the proceeds from my book, 40-Days of Throne Room Prayers to an orphanage located in Zimbabwe. I pray that you will be led to purchase an eBook for a friend, family member or your prayer partners to help these precious children who are dear to my heart.

Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear

By Apostle Tonya

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18

O Lord of Hosts we come before Your Holy Presence and tremble. We exalt You O God and worship at Your Footstool; for ye are a Consuming Fire. We bless You Father for Your Beloved Son, Jesus, who sacrificed His life so that we might have eternal life. Because of the Cross, we pray fervently to love like Him, our Blessed Redeemer.

Beloved Lord Jesus, we pray that You would remember us and our afflictions from the wounds caused from the pandemic, and the racial unrest and division in America. Healer, we cry out to You to heal our emotions. Lord, in Your goodness, You, on the Cross taught us how to love. Therefore, we ask that You bestow grace upon us to love purely; without any fear. We thank You O Lord for Your perfect love. We declare our hearts belongeth to Thee, Lord and we adore You Lamb of God. Amen.

Let the Saints Pray!

By Apostle Tonya

Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. Psalm 81:3

Every September, I most look forward to entering into the season of honoring thy Lord with observing the Fall Feasts.

“Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.” Exodus 23:14

Back in the year of 2012, the Blessed Lord was most kind and gracious to placed me on His Holy Calendar. In doing this, thy Lord entereth me into a time of dreams showing me His Will to honor Him by observing the Fall Feasts and Passover. Surely, I am most grateful for the Holy Spirit who is gracious to revealeth to us the deep things to pray during this most Holy season. For me, in that time of dreams whereby the Spirit of God bestowed upon me; He was faithful to revealeth to me hidden things wherefore satan was hindering in certain areas of my life.

For many years, the Father hath continued to be most faithful to giveth me instructions in my dreams for The Feasts of the Lord. Job 33:16. Particularly, Rosh Hashanah I receive most specific instructions from our Holy God; for it is a time when He makes Heavenly Decisions concerning us. As His Children, it is important for us to honor thy Lord by observing His appointed times. If you might remember, in the Scriptures we read our Lord Jesus teaching in the temple to observe the Feasts with His Jewish brethren. John 7:1-24.

Friends, it is at this appointed time of observing the Feasts that thy Lord shall maketh Decisions for us for the next twelve months. And, Rosh Hashanah is also a solemn time of Judgment. Our most Holy God, our Righteous Judge, at this Holy time will also maketh Decisions in The Court Room of Heaven for the Judgment of His enemies.

I pray that you will join the ministry as we observe this Holy time. Rosh Hashanah begins sundown September 18 through sundown on September 20, 2020. Amen.

Hear our Cry

By Apostle Tonya

Blessed Father, we cry out today for Your Holy Houses where we worship You are being torched by arsonists. O Lord pleasant things are being laid to waste during this tragic season of racial unrest in our Country. Holy One of Israel, You have shown You are grieved. We ask that You forgive us O Lord for our sins and we plea for You to giveth us grace to humble ourselves, seek Your Face and pray without ceasing for peace in this land. Thank You Lord for hearing us as we cry out to You according to Your Word in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 65 verse 24: “And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.”

Thank You, Merciful Father, for answering us speedily O God. In the Name of our Beloved Lord Jesus. Amen.

A Prayer for God to Confirm His Word

By Apostle Tonya

This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. 2 Corinthians 13:1

O Father of Glory, we come before the Throne of Grace to offer unto You our sacrifice of praise with the fruit of our lips. We thank You Holy Father for gracing us with more honor for Your prophets. We ask that You release Your prophets in our paths to confirm Your Word as written in the Second Book of Corinthians, Chapter 13 verse one.

O Lord we thank You and pray that You will grant the petitions that we have asked of You. We seal this prayer with the Blood of Yeshua Hamashiach. Amen.

In God’s Perfect Timing

By Apostle Tonya

As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. Psalm 18:30

For quite some time before the Coronavirus was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization; I was preparing for the return of my public ministry. Months before the crisis, one of the projects thy Lord had given to me came from Him with such urgency to release in the Earth. It was my eBook, “40-Days of Throne Room Prayers” which was birthed as I neared the end of a season of consecration.

As I began working on its February release date to the Body of Christ, I felt the Holy Spirit grieving. Even as I write this, I can recall the pain that left me with great concern. In response to the Dearest Comforter, I began asking Him why was I feeling such grief. The Lord did not immediately answer me. Yet, He continued to give me instructions for the book. It became comfort to me to receive His continued instructions and confirmed it was His Will to publish it during that time.

On March 18, in His Perfect timing, the Lord answered me and released the Devotional from it’s “waiting to publish” phase to being published.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

I must say, in the early weeks of this crisis, the release of this new ministry becoming fully manifested during this time was hard for me. It was overnight the Church had changed from what it was from when I was called into this time of separation with thy Lord; to its doors being closed. The Country had suddenly shut down. The quarantines and the loss of precious lives had our Country in mourning. For me, this grief for the Church and the lives loss was heartbreaking.

The Father answereth our cries and is ever-merciful. On one pivotal day, the Holy Spirit led me to take a walk around the neighborhood. There as I began to fellowship with Him; He led me into intercession for our Church to safely reopen. He is faithful.

May I share some lessons whereby I am most grateful the Lord has taught me during this time of change? The Blessed One will allow such tragedies to occur to test the hearts of His Children. As His Children, we must be in position and respond rightly even in suffering. For in our sufferings, He is faithful to giveth us sufficient grace to endure.

As it is written in the Book of Job, Chapter 13, verse 15:

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

Beloved, this must always remain our hearts prayer to our Father, the Ancient of Days! Intercessors, can our Blessed Lord trust us to continue to be fervent in prayer and press in to receive His secrets for us and His Body in this season? For King Solomon wrote in Proverbs 25:2, “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.”

Our hearts must remain loyal to the King.

May you be encouraged and filled with hope for a new beginning. The former things are passing away and behold Jehovah Roi, the God that sees, is doing a new thing!

May the Lord be with your spirit. Amen.

Prophetic Vision: Coronavirus, an End is Near!

By Apostle Tonya

The Word of the Lord came unto me a few days ago concerning the Coronavirus crisis. The Blessed Holy Spirit graced me with an open vision of what appeared to be a sick toddler. The young boy was laying down with his eyes closed shut. The child appeared to me to be in a hospital laying in a coma and was wearing a Face Mask. I felt the Holy Spirit was encouraging me to look at the area of his nose where the facial covering was being removed.

We bless the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for answering His Children cries for the end of this pandemic. Amen.

Prophetic Vision of Former Vice President Joe Biden

By Apostle Tonya

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. John 16:13

The Blessed Holy Spirit began speaking to me His Will for the 2016 Presidential campaign just a few months before the general election. In a series of prophetic dreams, He revealed to me that Donald J. Trump and Michael R. Pence would be elected as the President and Vice President of the United States.

In this election, the Lord has spoken differently to me than in 2016. Most recently, the Lord graced me with a vision of Presumptive Democratic Nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden. In this profound vision, the Lord showed me the former Vice President’ head where the brain is located.

Let us continue to seek the Lord and pray His Will for this 2020 election. Amen.

Entering God’s Rest

By Apostle Tonya

For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Hebrews 4:10

There was a time when the Blessed Holy Spirit began guiding me to study the life of Saint Teresa of Ávila, a life dedicated to the Lord Jesus in suffering, sacrifice and prayer. The study about her life of service unto the Lord became most rewarding to me and the trajectory of my life increased in hunger and fullness for holiness. In the Autobiography of St. Teresa of Ávila, she recounted her suffering of debilitating headaches and her desire for an ordinary life with Jesus. Most dear to me was an account of her kneeling in prayer when the Holy Spirit came upon her and she suddenly began to ascend. In this account of the Comforter using St. Teresa of Ávila for His glory, she recorded that ofttimes she would plead with Him to cease using her body and would ask the sisters to sit on her. I wonder what the Blessed Holy Spirit may have thought as His precious Daughters tried to overpower Him! For His glory is not ours.

It is written that our Risen Lord stood in the midst in the Book of John 20:26:

And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

Quite like St. Teresa of Ávila, I have pleaded with the Holy Spirit to cease using me in this manifestation of His glory. I am hopeful that His grace for me to accept it will rest upon me for my lifetime.

The Father is kind.

A few weeks ago, He gifted me with an experience of His rest at a special place wherefore I am most grateful to have enjoyed. It is my heart’s desire to give to women who are preparing for ministry a holy place to rest in Him. I am in awe that the Lord answered my hearts prayer to experience a rest on the grounds of a convent; generations of sisters offering the sacrifice of righteousness to our Beloved Father. The Rose of Sharon’ blessed fragrance filled my days of rest as I enjoyed quiet walks with Him and sitting alone in an marvelous chapel filled with His precious glory. I am grateful.

The pandemic has left many of us fatigued, desiring rest, seeking thy Lord for direction in our lives, marriages, churches and ministries. I encourage you who are weary from the pandemic’s affect on your lives, and intercessors who have been in a season of warfare to be sensitive to the Lord’s leading to cease from your works and enter into His blessed rest. For our Father reminds us, it is good for us to draw unto Him, put our trust in Him to declare all His works.

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. Hebrews 4:9

May the Lord strengthen you. Amen.

Prophetic Dream of an Attack

By Apostle Tonya

The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Proverbs 18:10

After months of prayer, our Beloved Lord Jesus has instructed me to release this prophetic dream publicly.

It was immediately after early morning prayer when the Blessed Holy Spirit graced me with a short warning dream. The dream revealed what appeared to be a terrorist attack in one of the five boroughs of New York City.

In this dream, I saw bright blue skies. Then, I heard this loud explosion. I looked in the direction of the sound and saw smoke rising; nothing else could be seen. As the smoke intensified and continued going upward I knew in my spirit that vehicles were engulfed in its horror.

The explosion appeared far-reached as I saw it violently travel. There were no crowds or parked cars where the Lord had me in the dream. Thereafter, the Holy Spirit showed me just one person running away from the terror as it quickly traveled toward him/her.

I heard emergency personnel: loud sirens everywhere. Yet, the Lord did not show me any of the EMS workers. Amen.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7
