This Is Me, As I Am

Hello Friends, it’s me Authentically Anointed. Many of you remember me speaking about this faith journey that I have been on with GOD since March 21, 2022, and March 31, 2022. That was my last working day with my 16-year career as a city employee that I’ve had since relocating and my last day living at my own place. It has been 8 months! I’ve been praying, at many times I’ve fasted, been reading the word of GOD and no manifestation in the way that I believe it should have appeared.

Newsflash folks, GOD has kept me and sustained me during this time. I have lost nothing. HE has sustained me with friends who have offered their homes to me, through a Kingdom family that has poured into me through prayers and sowing into my growth. I will not lie to you; I have had some moments where I have allowed fear and doubt to creep into my pretty little head. I’ve repeatedly asked GOD was I clear in hearing you. Is this really what you wanted for my life? To know me is to know that I am one of the most logical people you would know, and if it does not make sense, it should not be done.

Really how much sense does it make to leave a perfectly good job? A job in which a promotion was months away. A job where your co-workers and supervisor were great people. A job that allowed you to work remotely when needed? Who does that? Well, I’ll tell you who does that. A woman who for years has asked The Living GOD, The I AM, El Roi (the GOD who sees me), put me in a place where I can work for YOU! Open doors to ministry so that I may pour out to the world all that has been poured into me. Use me so that YOUR glory will be revealed. A woman who knew that people (family & friends) would alienate her, think she was crazy or just simply cut her off. You see my walk with Jesus has not been a long one (July 27, 2011), but it has been a significant one. Seizures, a stroke, the loss of two brothers and finally the loss of my mom all in the span of 7 years. I hit broken and I hit rock bottom, and I even gave up on GOD, but HE never gave up on me “For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5b.

When I say gave up, I mean I stopped praying, I stopped asking, I stopped seeking, but I never denounced HIM so Holy Spirit was still able to minister to me in the midst of my silence. “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying?” Matthew 18:12.

I just want to encourage someone as I was just encouraged this week. You are close so the fiery darts are repetitive coming faster and faster, but if you hold up the shield of faith which is the word of GOD, they cannot and will not hit you. Stay the course; continue dwelling in the secret place GOD has set you in where you meet daily. Stay in the posture of thanksgiving, stay in the posture of gratitude, and continue to confess those prayers and petitions that line up with HIS word. I promise you that the harvest GOD has for you and for me will pour out from the windows of heaven. Where we are now cannot even hold what we are about to receive. (Malachi 3:10).

Blessings of strength to everyone who knows HIM!
