Will you count it all joy?

-
God bless you all again and thank you all for taking the time to read what the Lord has shared with me concerning His people. I apologize for the time frame from the last post to this one. I tell you as soon as I get focused on doing the will of the Lord the enemy attacked my body. I bless God because He is truly a Healer and ABSOLUTELY NO WEAPON THAT IS FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER!!!  I serve notice to the devil I"M BACK!!! HALLELUJAH!!

 Today I will pose a question that the Lord asked me in the midst of all that I had been going through such as health challenges, financial issues, and people saying all manner of evil against me and my family; this is just to name a few.

 He said to me, " Shaquita will you count it ALL joy?" The bible says...

 "My Brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have it's perfect work that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing." (James 1:2-4)

When He asked me this question I began to think about all the things that I had been going through and how painful it has been and I asked myself can I still say I have joy in the midst of all of this pain. One thing I have learned about the Lord is when He asks a question He already knows the answer. And deep down I knew the answer too. 

This post is to encourage someone to keep standing no matter what you come up against, you can still have joy. The bible says this: Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY comes in the morning. The Lord revealed something to me some time ago. He said, "A new day begins at 12 am, yet this is the time of morning when it's the darkest, but know that it's STILL morning."

It may be dark right now but know that your morning has come; only believe...

This is what the Lord said to me...

 Daughter I am more concerned about how you go through then what you go through. See I can change your situation in a twinkle of an eye but I choose to allow this only for a little while. I'm doing a work in you. I say be glad because there is great joy ahead even though you have endured many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith in Me is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold and know that your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through the many trials I promise it will bring you much praise and glory and honor  on the day when I'm revealed to the world. Don't use this as an opportunity to murmur and complain but use it as a stepping stone to get closer to Me. Don't fear the unknown. I have promised that I will always be with you never leaving nor forsaking you. So do not fear abandonment I am not like mere man I am God! Doesn't My Word say, there is no fear in love but perfect love drives out fear because fear involves torment. The one who fears is not made in perfect love. This is not to torment you this is to purge you.  My people have to understand being in My perfect will does not make you exempt from trials, but being in My perfect will causes you to have My perfect peace. Know that I am your companion and there could NEVER be another companion as devoted as I AM. 

Because I AM your Constant companion there should be a lightness to your step that others can see. Do not be weigh down with problems and unresolved issues, for I AM your Burden-Bearer. In this world you will have trials and distress but don't let them get you down. I have conquered the world and ripped it of power to harm you. In Me you can have confident peace.

People of God take these words to heart because we serve a MIGHTY GOD!  His Word is true and He is calling us to stand. I know you may not understand all that is taking place in your life right now however, the question still remains, "WILL YOU COUNT IT ALL JOY?"

Will you allow this to steal what is rightfully yours?

The joy of the Lord is your strength and when you choose to to focus on the Lord instead of the problem divine strength comes forth to go THROUGH.

Know that the Father loves you and if you would just open your hearts to receive this perfect love you would see Him in EVERYTHING!!!

God bless you 

Prophetess Shaquita Jones

Learning to accept the grace of God

  And since it is through God's kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God's grace would not be what it really is, free and undeserved.  Rom. 11:6 (NLT) I have been in situations where I really beat myself up for falling short. I am a born again believer who preaches obedience to God more than anything else. I teach on how God's grace is available to all of us who has accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. I study this, I teach this, but somehow when I fall I can go into this deep condemnation that brings about depression sometimes. But you might ask, how can you who know the will of God, which is His word fall under the devil's condemnation? How can you who teach and encourage others and still fall like this? I've asked myself this many times and it wasn't until God spoke to me that I got a revelation and got free. He said, "Daughter you have not accepted the gift of grace that I have given you. You still think it's about you...

Pro. 6:6-11 (THE VOICE) Take a lesson from the ant, you who love leisure and ease. Observe how it works, and dare to be just as wise. It has no boss, no one laying down the law or telling it what to do, yes it gathers its food through summer and takes what it needs from the harvest. How long do you plan to lounge your life away, you lazy fool? Will you ever get out of bed? You say, "A little sleep, a little rest, a few more minutes, a nice little nap." but soon poverty will be on top of you like a robber; need will assault you like a well armed warrior. Ecc 10:18 (THE VOICE) The roof sags over the head of lazybones; the house leaks because of idle hands. One morning during prayer the Lord spoke to us. He said, "Procrastination will cost you dearly in this season."  With His words still ringing loudly in my spirit I begin to meditate, so I went to look up the word procrastination, and it is defined as the act of WILLFULLY delaying the doing of something tha...

But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore, putting away lying, “ Let each one of  you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another. “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitt...
