Holy Father, we praise and bless You for causing us to heareth Your lovingkindness. Father, in the Book of James, Chapter one, verse five, the Scripture encourages us to ask You, the giver of good and perfect gifts from above for wisdom. And, so Holy Father today we beseech You to giveth us wisdom from Heaven wherefore is invariably pure, peaceable, gentle, easy to be intreated, full of Your mercy. Generous Father, we bless and thank You for Your generosity. May You causeth us to be good stewards of the wisdom You giveth to us for Your blessed glory in the Earth. Father of Lights, we promise to honor Your gifts and to never touch Your glory. In the Name of Your Blessed Son, our Beloved Jesus Christ. Amen.
Most marvelously, quiet times in the Holy Presence with the Blessed One hath ofttimes moved me to a river of tears of love for Him. After a conclusion of a wilderness season, our Holy One was most faithful to begin to instruct me to learn of seeking Him in prayer from my heart to His Blessed Heart. In the brevity of that season of prayer, wherefore I most delighted in; it consequently taught me how to dwelleth in the Throne Room of our Holy Lord.
This past August, I was most honored to spend a lovely time of fellowship with Marie Chapian, Pulitzer Prize Nominee and the author of over 30 books including, the devotional, “Talk to Me, Jesus”. Our blessed spirit-filled conversation on prayer surely encouraged me. I pray as you read some of our time of fellowship you would be most blessed and encouraged to glean from the well of wisdom of those our Holy Lord would lead you for your continued spiritual nourishment.
Apostle Tonya: How did you meet our Lord Jesus?
Marie Chapian: I was raised in an atmosphere knowing who Jesus is. Everyone went to church and everyone knew who Jesus was. I went to an evangelist meeting when I was 12-years-old to serve Jesus for the rest of my life and He heard me.
Apostle Tonya: Most surely, I appreciated reading of the catalog of devotional books you have written for thy Lord’s glory and of your release of “Quiet Prayer.” Let us begin with talking about our Blessed Lord. Would you share with us of an encouraging Scripture our Lord has been speaking to your heart of during your devotional time?
Marie Chapian: There has been many. I like verse Jeremiah 31:3. Because it is outside of us. And, in His voice when He puts that in us and when I put my heart there that I begin to understand.
Apostle Tonya: Marie, would you kindly share your book, “Talk to Me, Jesus” with the readers of “Heaven’s Pen”?
Marie Chapian: “Talk to Me, Jesus” is poetry actually. All of the them [the books] are a series of Jesus talking to us, speaking to us…what He is thinking. And, what we need (each of us) and what is it in Himself that we need in us to tap into. One of the books are 365 pages, there are 365 pages in the Lord’s Voice and it’s accompanied by lots of Scripture.
Apostle Tonya: Ofttimes, I delight in thy Lord with one particular Chapter dear to my heart and certain anointed hymns and worship music. Consequently, during a past season, I was led to pray quietly by the Holy Spirit to restoreth my strength. This method of prayer surely swiftly draweth us to the Blessed Holy Bosom of our Beloved Lord Jesus. Let us talk about the blessedness of quiet prayer whereby we sit in the Holies of Holies with our Holy One and what quiet prayer is for you, Marie.
Marie Chapian:Quiet prayer is not only being still; we quiet the mind and quiet thoughts. In quiet prayer, we ask for nothing and are only focused on Jesus. And our daily lives are transformed. In intercessory prayer, we are so touched with confidence. Essentially, there is such a knowing that Jesus has done what He has promised. We spend sacred holy time shutting up our own thoughts.
I sit in silence, not to be silent. I sit in silence because that is where God is.
It is a constant journey. Silent prayer.
I know the difference of surrendering in begging God and surrendering in silence.
Apostle Tonya: Marie, what would you suggest to one of our sisters or brothers whom experience challenges in their time of seeking thy Lord and staying focused on our Lord in His Blessed Presence?
Marie Chapian: Choose a sacred word and focus on Him.
May the Blessed Holy Spirit continueth to increase, strengthen and encourage you and our LORD be glorified.

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Revelation 4:11
The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. The Book of Psalms 24:1
In recent weeks, I was led by the Holy Spirit to watch an animated children’s Bible story television program. The episode was about our Blessed Master’ Fame. In a most precious scene, our Lord’s Fame began to increase because of the glorious miracles wherefore manifested in His Ministry. One particular tear-provoking moment in the episode caused me to rest my hand on my heart for love for our Lord. It was when in an scene, a crowd noticed thy Lord approaching them and everyone waited in awe of His Blessed Glory. Suddenly, a precious child pushed her way to the front of the crowd for a glimpse of the Holy King and then as she climbed to stand on the shoulders of an adult; most enthusiastically the child shouted, “It’s Jesus”!
Friends, may we continueth to be in awe of the Risen Lord and be most faithful to shout about Him in the Earth; for the Earth is His and the fullness thereof.
Holy Father, Whom hearest prayer we bless You for Your faithfulness, goodness and lovingkindness. Righteous Father, we thank You for Your Son, our Beloved Risen Lord and the power that He hath given unto us to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. In His Holy Name, we exercise dominion over spiritual wickedness in high places and declare iniquity shall not have dominion over us. Holy One, we put You in remembrance of Your Word according to the Book of Job, Chapter 22, verse 28: “Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee and the light shall shine upon thy ways.”
Jehovah Gibbor, we praise You, the God Whom causeth wars to ceaseth and declare that we are seated in Heavenly Places in the Lord Jesus. We put You in remembrance of the king’ decree and subsequent judgment against Haman in the Book of Esther, Chapter 7, verses 8 through 9. Righteous Father, we also now decree by the Spirit of God that the spirit of Haman’s plot and conspiracy to dethrone Your Daughters and Sons from Positions wherefore You hath appointed to them in the Earth is destroyed. We command Holy Angels to cometh for our words according to Daniel 10:12 and hang the spirit of Haman on its gallows and causeth this spirit not to rise up in another. We decree the enemy’s plans and wicked devices fashioned against our failure hath been destroyed and overruled by our King of Glory.
We bless You King of Glory that You have overcome the world and have given to us the victories over our spiritual enemies. We decree thy Kingdom come and thy will be done in Earth, as it is in Heaven. Thank You for receiving and answering our prayers. We seal this prayer with the Blood of the Lamb of God. Amen.
During many occasions I have written of a certain time in the past where I walked the path of suddenly grieving a loved one. As the Dearest Comforter graced me to heal from the long season of grieving my mother, I discovered many things about myself: I most enjoyed long walks and quiet talks with thy Lord which became a great comfort for me and caused me to be most compassionate to those who mourn.
There is invariably a valley season whereby is also birthed with the painful closure that come with the loss of a loved one’s time in the Earth. In those pivotal life-changing moments we must be certain to seek thy Lord for His strength, and healing. The Holy Spirit shall be faithful to shew us things to come in what ofttimes becometh to us an unexpected, painful and sudden new beginning. In our mourning season, thy Lord shall also be faithful to answer our prayers to giveth us His will and purposes for the new time of our lives. John 16:13
Most recently, I had the blessed opportunity to interview Troia L. Butcher whom became acquainted with grief in the losses of her loved ones and in it she subsequently birthed a ministry serving the Lord Jesus. I pray you will be most blessed by the interview.
And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. Revelation 21:5
Apostle Tonya: I rejoice with you for the release of your book, Soul Ties, Letters of love. Would you share what your heart is for the reader of the book who is in a season of grief?
Troia: I wroteSoulTies, Letters of Love: Learning to live through Loss, because I needed a way to release the pain from the loss of my best friend and my grandmother. I was very angry during that period in my life and realized that I did not want to get lost in the anger and the pain, so I began to write. I started by beginning to write letters of love to some of those who passed through my life….to let them know that even though they were no longer here I carried them with me.
The book begins with my paternal grandmother who passed away when I was four-years-old and it ends with a letter to my best friend. It was meant to heal my own pain and loss, but it is my hope that others could use this book to begin their grief journey.
Apostle Tonya: Troia, would you kindly share your testimony on how thy Lord used you for His glory to birth the ministry to heal those broken-hearted because of the mourning and loss of a loved one?
Troia: I believe that I was always called to this work, but my ministry did not start fully until I experienced several significant losses in a six-month period. It was the first time I began to understand grief and I was alone. When I began my journey towards healing, I also understood that I was not the only one to feel this way, and that was when my ministry was birthed.
Apostle Tonya: What was the Scripture that the Holy Spirit spoke to you when you began to serve those whom are broken-hearted?
Troia: It was Matthew 5:4: Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted and Isaiah 41:10: Fear thou not: for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Friends, this is the first time in nearly three years of writing on Heaven’s Pen, our Holy Lord has willed me to occasionally include interviews of His Daughters whom are serving Him along with devotional prayers, and teachings on the End-times and the glory realm. Surely, it is my prayer you shall be most encouraged with the Divine features of our brethren on the Lord’s blog for His blessed glory.
May thy Lord giveth you more grace, purpose and answereth your petitions.
Holy One, we shall declare Your greatness in the Earth in unity, purity, and reverence. Amen.
Back in the fall of 2019, the Blessed Holy Spirit revealed to me His will for me to begin with the blogging of prayers, testimonials, and revelatory teachings of our Beautiful Holy Master for His purpose to use the ministry to edify and encourage the Body of Christ. The Blessed One was also most faithful to giveth this most special assignment a glorious name, Heaven’s Pen.
By the Spirit of God’s grace, in nearly three years of posting almost weekly on the blog; nearly 200 writings have been published and it is visited by thousands weekly. Thy Holy Lord be glorified.
For some time, thy Holy Lord has been preparing me for a change of direction with Heaven’s Pen asHe continueth to prepare me to conclude the season of virtual only ministry to return me back to publicly preaching the Gospel in churches throughout the United States. During this most holy and intense preparation with thy Lord, I have continued in His will managing the daily operations of the ministry whereby consequently He has most astoundingly increased with His followers and with global exposure in the past months. Thy Lord was surely faithful to promise me this in the year of 2018.
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. Luke 1:45
Thy Holy Lord be praised, beginning this month the blog shall move into a new season wherefore I shall continueth to publish devotional prayers, and with the occasional inclusion of media interviews of women of God throughout the world whom humbly serve the Blessed Master. There shall be End-Time and glory realm teachings published as thy Lord lead me and my schedule accommodate.
I cease not to giveth thy Lord thanks for your continued support of the ministry over the past three years and for those whom are new friends to the ministry. It is surely my honor to continueth to serve you for what I pray is many years to come as the ministry continueth to grow supernaturally. I am surely looking forward to meeting you and exalting our Holy One together with you in services in America.
May thy Lord be faithful to fulfill your petitions. Amen.
In the Book of John, Chapter 19 verse 23 and 24 we read a most agonizing text whereby surely causeth tears for our Blessed Master. In these most heart wrenching verses recorded of our Lord’s Crucifixion, a dramatic scene of blatant theft and desecration against the Son of God tragically occurred at the Cross. His Majesty’s Garments worn humbly by Him when our Lord Served in His Holy Ministry were torn and gambled for by four Roman Soldiers. The Scripture records the soldiers tore four parts of Jesus Christ Garments and each part of His Blessed Garments were divided to each of the soldiers.
It is surely most painful for us to read of our Great Sufferer’ pain and suffering while the soldiers committed this unfathomable criminal act against Him. We might also ponder on what was the Strategy from the Holy One of Israel when He allowed His only Begotten Son’s Garments to be wickedly torn and gambled for by these soldiers. Most certainly, throughout this passage on the historical events of the Death of our Saviour, the Holy Spirit is most faithful to reveal truth and revelation that although it was most surely the Father’s will, the Brutal Crucifixion of the Saviour of the World was fulfilled most horrifically as prophesied in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible.
As we are most careful to study and examine the hearts of the soldiers, we may conclude they were most jealous, and wrothful men whom clearly lacked temperance. Consequently, in the Scriptures, the Holy One has given to us to study over 800 references of the heart. One particular passage is recorded in Song of Solomon 8:6: “Jealously is cruel as the grave.”
The wicked hearts of those soldiers whom were indeed seemingly incited by their hatred and obvious intimidation of the miracles, teachings and Fame in the Ministry of Jesus Christ, made a most tragic decision in their part of the Blessed History of the Son of God. Perhaps it was a fleeting terrible decision of the soldiers whereby resulted in their most merciless covenant to further disgrace, humiliate and shame Christ. Certainly, the public demonstration of their rejection of the Lordship of Jesus Christ revealed the hearts of men in the days of our Beloved Lord whom we should surely be most affrighted of if they walked in any measure of liberty in the Earth today.
The four soldiers’ wickedness toward the Son of God and their hardened hearts that refused to show any measure of compassion to our Holy Master surely remindeth us of the ability of satan to identify and use a willing heart to kill, steal and destroy. John 10:10. This the enemy inherently seeks to accomplish in his attempt to further advance the plans and wickedness of his kingdom.
In the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah, Chapter 17 verse 9, we read: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” And so, it surely was on that most tragic day over two thousand years ago, when four men with the breath of God stood at the Blessed Cross of our Beloved Savior and committed the most inconceivable theft and mockery against the Son of God. In their cowardice hearts, as Heaven watched, the four names were possibly Recorded in the Books of Heaven’s Court Room: The most brazen and wicked men who trespassed against the Lowly King as His Bleeding and unrecognizable Body was Nailed to the Cross, and He gasped for His Final Breaths; for us.
The Roman soldiers, Jewish leaders, the tree, the flagrum and the crown of thorns used against the Lord Jesus were all created by The Creator, His Father. Colossians 1:16
It is surely unimaginable to read in the Holy Bible of the audacity of satan to believe his conspiracy could destroy the Son of God. The brazen plot whereby included using the Father’s own Creation to kill His only Begotten Son, our Blessed Master, Who as the Scriptures recorded was there in the beginning is quite startling. John 1:1-3
The enemy even included in his wicked plot to steal the heart of thy Lord’s Disciple, Judas Iscariot and to use the weak Disciple to initiate the betrayal and rejection of thy Lord’s own. This, the enemy seemingly plotted to further cause our Blessed Master sorrow and great agony for the deceiver has always sought to steal covenants, love and destroy unity. This strategic move from the enemy; while it ultimately did not give him the victory it released a war within thy Lord’s Closest Confidant’s and Staff and tragically birthed in our Most Holy Lord’s Ministry the spirits of treachery and division.
Let us remember the enemy’s knowledge is limited and what he receiveth is what our Father allows. The Secrets of the Throne Room are not always revealed before its time. Surely, thy Lord is a most Mighty Powerful God and Strategist; no principality, power or being can outsmart our God!
Beloved, the enemy can never hide his plots against us from our Omniscient all-Knowing God nor does he know of the Full Plan of thy Lord for us or of our victories already settled in Heaven. Amen.
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. The Book of Isaiah, Chapter 14 verses 13-14.
Most recently, I watched a most powerful message from an anointed man of God as he taught by the Spirit of God on the “Lessons from the Cave”. During his message, the man of God released a most profound word from The Throne Room on the heart and its precious value to our Eternal Father. After the message, I continued to meditate on the quote from the message wherefore reminded me of the Blessed Master’s commandment for us to love Him more than these. The Book of John, Chapter 21:15.
I must say, as I sat watching this blessed teaching wherefore was brilliantly taught with Scripture from the First Book of Samuel, Chapter 22, the Dearest Holy Spirit was faithful (as ofttimes He has done lately) to bring to my remembrance of a time of consecration in the year of 2018. Suddenly, there in the cave of that time, the prophets had ceased to bringeth me the word as they had in the past. 1 Kings 18:4. I surely giveth thanks to our Blessed Teacher, Whom interrupted an interesting and ofttimes fruitful season of receiving from His Children then graciously choose to grant His favor to me to sit at His Blessed Feet and learn from Him of the High Cost of Loyalty to The Throne.
In that time of isolation and preparing, the Holy One was certainly kind and generous to open my eyes to eternal purposes and He continueth to teach of His loyalty and of Him as our Omniscient God Whom is most Holy, perfect and keepeth covenant with those that love and are loyal to Him.
Friends, may our hearts be most loyal to thy Lord and speak wonderfully of Him; for this I have surely learned in the past years in this walk with Him; it is holy pleasantness to the Ears and Heart of our Holy God. Malachi 3:16
