October 8, 2012, while sitting at lunch I was praying for my son and I began to write this declaration about his life. The Word of God says in Job 22:28 You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to you: and the light shall shine on your ways.
I wrote it for my son, but feel free to decree for your children also.
I denounce every negative word spoken over my son's life and every negative thought towards him.
I decree that my son is not a liar, but an honest and truthful young man.
I decree that my son is not a munipulator, but he is on that uses wisdom and walks in the favor of God.
I decree that my son is not a beggar, but he is the head and not the tail. He is above and not beneath.
I decree that my son is not a failure, but he is a winner and conqueror of all his obstacles.
I decree that my son is not a conartist, but his a giver to many.
I decree that my son is not depressed, but he is full of joy and expectation.
I decree that my son is not a user of drugs or alcohol, he honors his body as the temple of the Holy Spirit
I decree that my son is not a lover of the things of this world, God is the lover of his soul.
I decree that my son is not rebellious, but he is obedient and reverance authority.
I decree that my son does not belong to Satan, he is a child of the Most High God, Jesus Christ.
I decree that my son was not a mistake, he is a part of God's perfect plan to be here on this earth.
I decree that my son is not fatherlerss, he has a good relationship with his Father and the FATHER.
I decree that he is a role model for many young men and women.
I decree that he is a man after God's own heart.
I decree that he has a successful, blessed future in God
I decree greatness for him in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
And it is so... From Me To You, LaDonna

It Shall Come To Pass...
Wow...I sit here in awe of the greatest of my Father. When He declare a thing, you can believe it's coming to pass. Well, isn't that what He said in His Word!!! "My word shall not return to me void". Ok, ok, ok, ok...let me get to my point.
My blog entitled "Out of Man's Loneliness", I wrote about what the Holy Spirit had shared with me on Marriages for this year. At the beginning of this year (2009) the Holy Spirit said that there would be new marriages for those single men and women who had been faithful. Today, I can tell you of four marriages that has taken place since the Word was spoken. Hallelujah!! There's 2 more that will happen real soon!!!!! I love the Lord. Again, His Word will not come back to Him void. It will accomplish what it was set out to do.
So, I encourage you today; let not your heart be trouble...believe in His Word and you shall be established, believe in His prophets and you shall prosper.
From Me To You...God's promises are yea and amen. I stand as a living witness to the promises of God. God made me a promise over 12 years ago and today, I see the manifestation of that promise. It was a rough and sometimes weary journey and it looked as if it would never come to pass. BUT GOD!!!! Stay focus, put God first by seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteous and all other things will be added to you. Stay in an expectation mode!!!
I pray God's strength for you as you wait on His promises.

HAPPY NEW DAY
Psalm 139:1-16
God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand. I’m an open book to you; even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking. You know when I leave and when I get back; I’m never out of your sight. You know everything I’m going to say before I start the first sentence. I look behind me and you’re there, then up ahead and you’re there, too-your reassuring presence, coming and going. This is too much, too wonderful, I can’t take it all in! Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your spirit? To be out of your sight? If I climb to the sky, you’re there! If I go underground, you’re there! If I flew on morning’s wings to the far western horizon, You’d find me in a minute—you’re already there waiting! Then I said to myself, “Oh, He even sees me in the dark! At night I’m immersed in the light!” It’s a fact: darkness isn’t dark to you; night and day, darkness and light, they’re all the same to you. Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother’s womb. I THANK YOU, HIGH GOD—you’re breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration—what a creation! You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, the days of my life all prepared before I’d even lived one day.
I found it very hard to get to sleep last night, so that means I was up when the clock hit 12:00am, May 21, 2009. I wasn’t quite sure of my feelings, because normally I’m very excited about my birthday. Around 12:46, I received a text message from my Neice Relly. Yes, I know you’re thinking she should have been sleeping, but God had a message for me, and he used her to get it to me. Her text read…”happy bday Aunt Donna. I love yewh! I wish yewh duh best. Have a nice day! I hope yewh have a better bday thn me” Her birthday is a day before mine and here she was hoping for me to have a better day than her. Very unselfish of her. I peacefully went to sleep after a few messages back and forth. I woke up and as I took my shower, the Holy Spirit began to breath new life into me. I wanted nothing more but to receive His gifts. He gave me the above scripture and I received such a great revelation. 37 years ago today, the Lord was with me in my mother’s womb. He was making me, forming me, designing me, and when the was finished with the basics that I needed to began my destiny, He brought me forth and breathed life into my body. Some of you may have celebrated a birthday this year already and some of you may have not, but I’m sharing my birthday with you today. Today the Lord is breathing new life into you. Thirty seven years has gone pass. The number three is the number of the Godhead and it’s personal completeness. The number seven represents God’s perfection. We are getting ready to take the next big step into our destiny. The Lord is giving you brand new gifts of …teaching, prophecy, helps, exortation, giving, administration and mercy. You may have received those gifts before, but the bible tells us that you shouldn’t put new wine in old wineskins. You’re NEW, so this out pouring of NEW gifts will take you through this next season. This is the day that the Lord has made, come let us rejoice and be glad in it. Oh magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together. My sister, my brother I’m very happy about your completeness and perfection in God. I’ve been through a lot and boy do I have some testimonies, but I know you’ve also been through quite a bit in your life, especially since giving your life to the Lord. To God be Glory for the things He has done. We’re still standing, so let’s began to use our new gifts to edify and build up the body of Christ. There’s so much I would like to share, but I’ll leave you with this…..Now unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could ask or think according to the power that works in us. HAPPY NEW DAY!!!!

Change, Change, Change...
Something happened to me about two weeks ago that caused me to experience a change in my emotions and a change in the way I saw my future. Since then, I have been reading about change. The bible speaks about a time and a season for everything. When the seasons change, we change also. During the winter, we dress for cold weather. When spring approaches, it's a sign to let us know that summer is on the way, so we prepare ourselves for the new season. So, why is it that this change appeared in my life, and I found myself having such a hard time accepting it. It caused my emotions to be out of whack, it caused my view of my future to be blurred and it caused me to question my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. While dealing with this change, I discovered a great book by Neale Donald Walsch, "When Everything Changes, Change Everything". The title caught my attention and caused an awakening in my way of thinking. Neale Walsch list nine changes that can change everything. Number five is the one I'm dealing with right now. "Change your idea about Change itself. My view of my change was bad. I thought it was the worst thing in the world and how was my life going to be now. After reading, I discovered that it's not the change itself, but it was how I was thinking about the change. So, immediately I began to see this change as a good thing. Why, because I began to focus my attention on the Lord. I was now saying to myself, what God has for me it is for me. So, this thing that is no longer a part of my life, and that which has caused me to have a hard time with change, is now viewed as a good thing. I am adjusting myself as if I was coming out of winter and going into spring. Not only has my wardrobe changed for the new season, but my outlook about my current change as changed. Change has come my way, so I will change everything!!!! I wake up with new strength. I see my life and my future through different eyes. My change has changed me for the good. My spirit is clothed with "all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose." "What the enemy meant for my bad, God has worked it out for my good." I'm still at the beginning of my change, so I'll keep you posted. If you're dealing with change please pick up the book I mentioned. I would love to hear from you, so please post your comments on your feelings. Until then, be blessed!!! LaDonna

Out of Man's Lonelines....
Let me share this revelation that was given to me. Well, the book of Genesis gives the story of creation. Adam had completed his assignment of naming all the animals. He noticed there was not a match for him. Though he didn't verbally express his desire of a mate, God knew that Adam felt lonely. "It is not good that man should be alone, I will make a help meet for him". So here's the revelation; out of man's loneliness, God created a woman. Most scholars have taught that woman was created to be a helpmate. True that, but it was out of Man's loneliness, that God's thought of creating a Woman was birthed. If you read my previous blog, "There Must Be More" I expressed very deeply my desire of becoming a wife. I've been asked several times, why do you want a husband? I use to just say, because God created me for a husband. It's a little deeper than that. For a season, I was content in my singleness. My current desire seems to be a little more intense than at other times. So, I asked my Savior, why is this feeling of loneliness and this desire to be married so strong in my life? That's when it was revealed to me that there is an Adam (man) somewhere out there that has completed a season of working for the Lord and has noticed that there's no helpmate for him. Just follow me for a moment......that man's loneliness and desire has touched the heart of God and has ignited my desire to be married. Now, there you have it. I know I'm not the only single person feeling this desire so strong in this current season. Back in January, the Lord spoke to me and told me that this year He was going to unite single men and women in holy matrimony that have been faithful to tending and keeping His garden, have served faithfully and have allowed the holy spirit to keep them. Marriage is ministry. It's not something to be taken lightly. God is reforming His church and it's starting with marriage. Husband and Wife are to work together to help build God's Kingdom here on earth. I'm in the Esther position and I'm waiting for the King to call for me. Be blessed!!!

There Must Be More
3/29/09
Today, I just need to be myself. I need to express myself in my writing. I'm just going to write as if I was talking, so there's no editing. I have to say, I really admire the writer Hudson Russell Davis. He's a brother that truly expresses himself and his feelings in his writing. Saturday night, I sat in the third night of an awesome conference"The River" with Eagles Wings. As I sat there during worship, my spirit was so heavy. I felt like I needed to talk to someone and get this thing off me. Yes, I know I was sitting in the prescence of God and I should have been able to release it there. But, I didn't. I took a walk outside and called a friend. She knew immediately that something was wrong with me. I began to share with her how good God has been to me. I'm a single mother, He has given me the grace to raise a black male child during a time when the enemy is trying so hard to wipe them out. I've been through so much since I dedicated my life to Christ in 1992. I slipped away from God for a little while, but He never left me and eventually three years later I returned to the one that loved me inspite of my messed up self. So, I kept telling her more of what God has done. He's kept me in my right mind. Being evidicted from apartments, being rejected by the men in my relationships, just struggling to keep ends together for me and my son. The lost of my Aunt Betty, then not even a year later the loss of my cousin Stevie who was just a year younger than I and the most devastating to me was the death of my Grandma Evelyn. She died in 2007 a day after turning 80. I still find myself in tears thinking about her. Then, finding love and losing that too. Was it really love? Yet, through all my situations, I kept being obedient to God. He said move; I moved. He said give; I gave. He said preached the Gospe; I accepted the call. He said start a singles ministry; I, despite my feelings of wanted to be married, I started a singles ministry. He said walk away from that relationship; I walked away. And here I am in a new season of my life. Things are going great for me. Ministry is striving, I'm better secure in my finances, many doors are opening for ministry and business opportunities, but but but but but but my spirit was just crying out for more. I told her I was sorry, I didn't want to sound ungrateful, but I just couldn't ignore this feeling. I finally told her, my longing and desire to be married. I have felt God's love through friends, I've felt His touch through healing, I've felt His arms around me in my times of worship, but my spirit wants to know His love for me in a husband. I'm 36 years old and I just want to know God's love in a different way. There's more, God has more and I want to have more.
I went back into the conference and after about 10 minutes of being back in there, the Holy Spirt began to speak to my soul. The spirit of the Lord used a young man by the name of Leon Timbo to minister in song how my spirit was feeling. "Lord I kneel crying out for something real, cause I know deep in my soul, there must be more and Lord I'm tired yes I'm weak I need your power to work in me, but God I can't let it go, I keep hanging on to the old, but there must be more, gotta be more than what I've seen. There must be more." By the way, before I went back in, the last thing my friend said to me was, "ask the Lord to speak to you". My God did He speak. The anointing that was upon this brother's voice, I don't think anybody could have expressed my inner feeling like that. As a matter of fact I know they couldn't, because that was supernaturally done by the holy spirit.
Today is a new day, and the Word of the Lord spoken by His prophets at my church, MetroChurch, today was such great confirmation. As the prophets declared, "God was getting ready to move suddenly, things you have been waiting for, God was going to do it suddently. It's a new season for you, your anointing is different, you will speak different, you will minister different, the way you use to handle things, the same old tactics will not work in this season. Do something you usually wouldn't do, come out of yourself."
I love the Lord, my song in the spirit was Lord I have an ear to hear what the spirit is saying, now speak to me. "There is More and I'm going to give it to you, SUDDENLY"

The Power of God's Love
3/27/09
Acts 3
The Power of God's Love
Have you ever witnessed your friends, family or even a stranger deal with something and you wished you could just make everything all right? I'm sure you have. As I began to prepare myself to hear from God, I thought about some of the people in my life and the things they're dealing with; things such as loss of job, one income, loneliness, frustration, repeated battles, health issues, etc. I said to myself, if I had a million dollars I could pay the rent for this one, if I could remove all the loneliness and pain for the other, if I could make things right for everybody, that is what I would do. Then, the Lord quietly reminded me how From Me To You Ministries came about. You and I have more than a million dollars. We can help remove the loneliness and pain, we can help them get rid of the continual battles. Yes, that's right, we can do that. How?
From Me To You Ministries was birthed because of a passion that I received from the Lord to help young people become better individuals. I didn't have much to offer them, "so I thought", but then the Holy Spirit led me to the story of Peter and the beggar at the gate called Beautiful. Peter made it plain and simple; I don't have silver and gold to give, but I do have something and that is the power of God's love which I give to you today.
Our vision is to see people empowered by the power of God's love. His love is so powerful that He looked over our sinful nature and sent His only begotten Son to die for you and I, and whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. We each have our own personal testimony of salvation, healing, deliverance, etc. It was not our good works that saved us, but it was because of His love for us that caused His grace to move in our lives. So the day we accepted Jesus as our Personal Savior we became equipped and empowered with the power of God's love. Now today, just like Peter, we can give the stranger, the friend, the family member and the world what we have and that is "the power of God's love".
Understand that you have something the world needs and it's time for you to give God's love back to the the world. You can say to those in need, I may not have what you think you need, but from me to you, by the power of God's love that is invested in me, in the name of Jesus Christ, be healed, be delivered, be made whole, be joyful....rise up and walk.
