Do You See Yourself As God Sees You?

Dear People of God,
   Greetings! In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ........
I felt led in my spirit to release this message unto you. For sometime now, I feel many pressures the people of God are going through. Many are discouraged and are giving up. But I say, this isn't the time to give up. But press in toward God. Get closer to Him and allow Him to speak to you. Many wonder if they're going to make it? I want to tell you like I mention to the ladies in my home based bible group House of Zion on Sat, July 30th. You need to have P.E.P during this season. Perseverance, Endurance and Persistence. We must also begin to walk in our authority of who we are. Do you see yourself as God sees you? If you haven't, begin to change your thinking.

Rev.1:6 And hath made us Kings and Priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Priests-open access unto God's presence at anytime
(2409) Greek hiereus hee-er-yooce priest.

Kings(Authority) Greek basileus-basil-yooce 935 sovereign

King (bas-il-yoo-0) Greek 936 means king, reign.

What I'm trying to say, we're Priests and Kings. We have open access unto God's presence at anytime.We come boldly to the throne of Grace. We are Kings, we don't beg, we walk in our authority.
Eph 2:6
An hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Sit (authority) Greek 4776 sugkathizo soon-kath-id'zo means to give(or take) a seat in company with. Make (sit down) together. I'm saying we are seated with Christ in heavenly places. We operate from that position.We declare this day that the promises of God are mine. You waiver on His promises. You are a King and Priest.Tell the devil to get behind you. If he reminds you of your past, remind him of His future. Speak the Word over your life and situation.

We are in the 8th month.Numbers are very important to God.
5 means Grace, 6 man, 7 completion, 8 new beginnings, 12 Government and 14 deliverance
Declare New Beginnings this year. August-December declare Grace over your situation.
Speak over your life and situation. Baal-perazim-( The Lord who bursts through) He's the Master of the Breakthrough. 2 Sam 5:20 and I Chron.14:11

neighbor as well.
Apply it to your mind. Read Lev.17:11.
God Loves Us All. Stand upon His promises. Don't give up, but press forward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm out!

APOLOGIZE

I remember during those times working in the school system, I use to work with children in various age groups from toddler to elementary age. So often you may see the elementary kids get into a squabble over a toy or a position they may have played in a game. As an adult I can see the shoving, name calling and then the throwing of the fists.Well, before it gets out of hand, you do your best to step in and say, "stop it"!.Mary apologize to Johnny or vice versa. All in all I would  step in and reprimand the students for their actions and say their behavior is unacceptable. I would inform the students to express words of regret on how they treated their fellow classmate.The children returned their response with such defiance  and refuse to apologize for their behavior. I would ask  them again to apolgize, but to change their attitude on how they spoke to their classmate. Finally, both students apologize and wanted to be friends. At the end I would offer my punishment, because their behavior was unacceptable. Their punishment may have been no recess the next day or maybe sit out a particular game. The lesson is to think about what you have done and not to repeat the same behavior over and over again. It was to let them know that certain things will be withheld from them.

I so  often think about our Heavenly Father.We are His children. We are a family. People of God the story above depicts the Body of Christ. "If my people which are called by my name would humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land" 2Chron.7:14. People of God we as a people must begin to humble ourselves and begin to fast and pray like never before.We are in a very critical time. God is looking for His people to return back to Him. He's looking for an apology.We must begin to change our thinking.God has great things waiting for His people.But we must return back to Him. Maybe you have slipped or went backward in your walk with the Lord, maybe you have offended someone with your words or maybe you're angry with God.? All in all find that quiet place in your home, apartment or place of business and talk with the Father. Tell Him you're sorry.Let the Father know you're repenting and you're going to return back to Him.Begin to ask the Father for His help and Holy Spirit for His assistance.
People of God, I serve and awesome God. He's a good God. His desire is to shower you with His presence and flood you with His joy and give you His peace.Without God, I wouldn't have made it thus far. On a daily basis, I make repentance a part of my communication with God. I don't want to get so complacent in this Christian walk that I don't feel a need to repent.
Take time get in His word and seek His face and let Him speak to you.
God Loves You Very Much......................

What's your landscape like?

During this last winter, the snowstorms were very brutal . There was snowstorms after snowstorms. It was one after another one.As I listened to the weather forecast,they would say we're having another snowstorm for the next 2-3 days. As I sit and listened, I always think about my garden. I saw how the weather was very cold and harsh to my plants, year after year. This year was no exception. One day my husband noticed (Antonio's Landscapers) working on our neighbors yard. I noticed they worked all day in the sun until the evening pulling out weeds and any dead shrubbery.They even came back the next day and worked in the rain. They didn't allow anything to stop them. They had a job to complete.
After they completed my neighbor's yard.My husband hired them for our yard. We noticed they did great work and we wanted a beautiful landscape.

The landscapers came and did their work.They removed the old shrubbery and planted new shrubbery.
The landscaper went with us to the flower shop. He told us to make sure we get perennials. We purchased some beautiful pernnial plants. One thing about pernnials,they will endure harsh weather of any kind. During the planting process, I asked why didn't plants every grow in this section of my garden. He indicated to me, you didn't have any soil. You need good soil. He also indicated that they didn't get their soil from Home Deopt.They receive their soil from a warehouse.
The landscapers designed us a beautiful landscape and we're very pleased with the work they did. ( I still have to see that no weeds come up) I have to maintain my landscape. I have to water the plants.Pull off any dead sections  of the plant, so it can  continue to grow.I have to monitor my garden on a daily basis.But I do it with pleasure. The landscaper periodically stops by and say hi.

What is the soil (ground )of your heart like? What are you planting in your heart? Is the ground of your heart full of bitterness?unforgiveness? resentment? Are you keeping your heart free and clear? Are you removing anything that would hinder your walk with the Lord? Are you feasting on the Word of God?
People of God make sure you protect your heart.Don't allow resentment,bitterness,hatred,jealousy and envy to be planted in the garden of your heart!If you see any signs of these weeds pull them up immediately.! If you keep out the weeds you'll have a beautiful garden. What will the Lord say when he comes to check on His garden (your heart)? Will He be pleased? Only you can answer that.
 It's important that we all maintain our garden(heart).Dig out the old and plant new. Pull off and pluck up!.Do what you have to do ,so you can have  the most beautiful garden (heart) that the Lord can say,look at my creation (He's smiling).


St.Matthew 15:11
It is not what goes into the mouth that makes a person unclean. It is what comes out of the mouth that makes a person unclean.
Eph 5:26
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing by the word.
Eph.5:27
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
James 3:10
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing, my brethern, these things not so to be
James 3:11
Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

Peace Out

It's Time To Move Forward

Hello All,
   Blessings! Prosperity!
I haven't posted anything on my blog in over a month............
Have you ever felt a tug to do something you've never done before? or finish products you've never finished ? or begun? Have you realized that you've been at one place long enough and it's time to move? I've been feeling like that now more than ever. To complete what I've started and begin new things.
I'm currently working on my 2nd ( to be out soon), 3rd and fourth book now. My company will be going LLC soon.
I'm working on my website. I'm excited what God is doing in my life. Are you excited what the Lord is doing in your life? Are you completing the task/s He's giving you to do? Are you lingering over projects by procrastinating day after day, night after night? year after year? No more stagnation. It's time to be creative in your creation. It's time dream and think big. Don't focus on the economy. You're not apart of that world system or view. We are Kingdom citizens. We are royalty.
All those dreams you have locked away inside you stored away. I ask you pick up those dreams and live again. He that began a good work in you,will complete it.
May the Lord prosper the work of your hands....
It's Time to Move Forward.....................................

Love ya,
Alfreda Richardson

A New Army is Advancing

Are you apart of the new army that will advance in this season? Get ready! Get ready! Get ready! I hear the sound of warriors coming forth. The next group of people that will come forth will obey the Lord. God is raising up people in the Kingdom we never heard of before.Where are they coming from? Who do I see coming from the wilderness? the backside of the desert? They are regular ordinary individuals that'll do extradordinary things for the Kingdom.  The people that come forth have been groom in the furnance of the fire. It's amazing how He saved the best for last.
Do you feel you've been behind the 8 ball? I want to say stay focus, consecrated, prayerful and fasting on a daily basis. We haven't seen nothing yet. He' raising up new people that will impact this world and bring Glory to God!

Are You Walking In Your Authority?

It's time that the Body of Christ begin to walk in their Authority.This is not the time to give up. This is the time to fight. If you're surrounded by doubt, defeat and hopelessness, just begin to praise the Lord. It's time to put the enemy to flight.  When you begin to praise the Lord, the enemy has to flee. We've given the enemy too much room. Don't give him any more territory.
Declare No weapon formed against you  shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against me in judgement I condemn. Isa. 54:17

Armed and Dangerous, Preparing for Battle

IT'S TIME TO FIGHT!
Do you desire to walk in intercession? It is a Clarion call to the Body of Christ to return back to God and intercede on behalf of their family, nation and church. The principles in this book will instruct you how to decree and declare the Word of God over evry circumstance. It is time to become Armed and Dangerous, prepared for battle.

These words  are on the back of  my first book title, "Armed and Dangerous, Preparing for Battle". You can purchase my book from Barnes and Noble or Amazon.

Isn't it time you're Armed and Dangerous, prepared for battle?

What has distracted your attention?

Lately, have you been distracted by life's circumstances? Have you been distracted by bills? children? work? finances? marriage?  Life is full of a variety of challenges. Some we like and some we don't like.
What have distracted your attention ? Have you thought about it seriously? When you  have focused your entire attention on that situation that has been troubling you, were you able to change your situation?

There was a situation that I'm reminded of in the bible.
38)  Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman name Martha received him into her house. 39) And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 40) But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41) And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42) But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
St.Luke 10:38-42

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. I Peter 5:7

It's time to Wake Up!

My question  to you do you know that there's a battle raging ? Did you know you were in a spiritual war? What are you doing to prepare yourself ?In order to fight any battle effectively, we must be clothed properly.
I come to help you to get prepared for battle. As you can see that the enemy is walking about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. He's going about attacking and destroying marriages, nation, our communities, churches, many in the Body of Christ are sick and  falling away from the faith. It's time that the Body of Christ arise and awaken. It's time that the Body of Christ begin to take Her rightful place and walk in the authority God has given unto Her. It;s time that the Body of Christ turn, turn back to God. The Body of Christ needs to turn back to God.
In 2 Chron.7:14 If my people which are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked way then I'll hear from heaven and heal the land. God is waiting for the Body of Christ to repent and turn from wickedness. The Body of Christ has drifted so far from God. God wants the Body of Christ to return back to Him. The Body of Christ has drifted so far from the teaching of the Word of God. There's been so much compromising going on in the Body of Christ. There's going to be no more business as usual. It's TIME THE BODY OF CHRIST WAKE UP!.

If you have left the Lord it's time to return back to Him. God is looking for His people to get on their face and seek Him. He's looking for His people to turn from their wicked ways. The land is sick. When the Body of Christ turns we can see a healing in our land. The Body of Christ is in a state of emergency. There will be no more business as usual.

Are you fully dressed?

Are you properly prepared for battle? Do you have on the whole armour of God?  Is there any crack in your armour?  What is the definition of armor? webster's dictionary says defensive covering for the body, covering (as of metal) used in combat, a quality of circumstances that affords protection.
The descriptin of the armor of God used for our warfare is given in Eph 6:10-17. The purpose of the armor is to be able to stand against the wiles (deceit, cunning, craftiness) of the enemy, Satan.

10) Finally, my brethern, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.  We are admonished to be strong in the Lord and lean totally on Him. We are not to rely on our own strength.
11) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. ( The phrase "put on" means to " put on once and for all.") You will not lay down your armour until you go to be with the Lord. If you do not have your amor on at all times, you are vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy. During the week we will discuss the different parts of the armour in Eph 6:10-17.
Many saints today aren't fully dressed for battle. Why is the enemy taken many saints into depression?, they feel hopeless? intimidated? many  of God's people are given up on God and saying what's the use? they are being  bombarded by the a barge of  insults and threats by the enemy on the left and on the right. I come to tell you, you're in a spiritual war.. not against flesh or blood but by a organized demonic forces.
It's time that the Body of Christ learn Spiritual Warfare................... stay tune...............
