This Sunday, I thought I would simply just share some quotes that inspire me. Some place me out of my comfort zone! They are Heaven sent reminders, bold declarations, character challengers and true reflection statements. All aim to keep one focused and centered.
Hope they bless you today and let me know which one is your favorite!
Blessings!
Happy Friday Readers!!
It’s that time again! RealBoldTruth the talk show on Heart Ministry Radio airs tonight at 6 p.m. EST!
I’m really excited about this one for I am interviewing my very first guest! Her name is Suchi Murden. She is a powerful BOLD, spirit led, on fire for Jesus believer with an incredible testimony!!
Born in India and converted from the Hindu faith, she accepted Christ as her Lord and savior and developed the gift of prophecy. We met nearly 4 years ago while I was shopping in Walmart. I was extremely downcast in spirit and suffering from a great deal of depression and anger at the time when God sent Suchi my way. She stopped me and asked if she could pray for me and boy did she ever!!!! She then spoke some very specific words over my life and although I have had great reservations with this spiritual gift, I received every word!
Suchi and I remained connected after that day via social media but this interview is the first time we have sat down to talk since we met!! Her words given by God are manifesting and are absolutely heaven sent!
Can’t give it all away so tune in at http://www.heartministryradio.com! Don’t miss this!

Hi RBT readers and viewers!
As many of you probably can tell if you’ve been reading prior articles, the topic of Spiritual Warfare is near and dear to my spirit!
http://therealliferealtalk.com/2016/06/07/i-declare-war-4-steps-in-spiritual-warfare
I’ve just discovered this year that as a Believer, clearly understanding what it is, how to identify it and how to battle is critical to winning problems, setbacks, dellimas, issues, challenges, frustrations and beyond in this life! (All that in a single breath!)
I’ve experienced many growing pains as I implement the principles but it’s all good! My flesh shall come under subjection while my spirit man takes its rightful position!
Pastor Mary Cooper is my Spiritual Mother and advisor. I am blessed to be a co-host next to her and Pastor Judy Shipley on our Church’s internet talk show – Straight Talk for Women Only. Last month, Pastor Mary went solo and taught a powerful message on Spiritual Warfare that is life changing!!!
I invite and challenge you to review this teaching and begin to implement it’s instructions in your walk with God. I promise you will never be the same!
Blessings and Happy Sunday!
Straight Talk for Women only airs the 1st Thursday of every month at 6 pm EST. Access live and archive shows by visiting http://www.stfwo.com.

Happy Wednesday RealBoldTruth Readers!
Can you believe we are at the end of August and summer is coming to a close!! Bitter Sweet it is but I am excited to be ending this Women of Wisdom theme month with a Video Blog with my Spiritual Mentor, Pastor Mary Cooper!
She is, without question, one of the wisest women I know relative to the Word of God. I consider myself extremely blessed to be able to sit at her feet and be groomed into my God given purpose through her Ministry.
She is the founder of Daughters of Esther (DOE) Ministry which has a primary focus to help women reach their fullest potential through the Word of the Lord. It is a powerful and life changing weekly meeting that is the cause for many being propelled and discovering their life’s purpose.
Pastor Mary exhorts RBT readers with a message entitled “Get Free to Step into Your Destiny!”
If you are in or can get to Delaware, I encourage you to stop by a DOE meeting. You will never be the same!

Shhhh – Don’t tell nobody, but I like scary movies! Carrie, Poltergeist, Freddy Krueger, and Tales from the Crypt, are just to name a few that I was introduced to at an early age. Back then they all completely scared the pants off me as a kid! As I got older I guess I adopted some sick level of appreciation for them. It’s mere mindless entertainment right? But are they really?
Two Saturdays ago I watched a modern day horror flick and noticed that my spirit was not in agreement! Hadn’t seen one in years! I was feeding on something that didn’t sit well and became totally uncomfortable and quite offended actually!
Has anyone else but me taken notice that these types of movies make God appear to be of no effect? There is usually a trend in many movies of terror. When the dark spiritual antagonist is discovered, characters in the films always call on a preacher, priest or reverend to cast out and fight this enemy. Of course the devil is always portrayed as incredibly powerful, all mighty, and basically undefeatable! While the characters of faith pray, wave their cross or crucifix, splashes around some holy water only to be overtaken and completely overthrown!
Well the devil is a liar! The God I serve is NO PUNK! He’s no doormat or passive powerless being incapable of being King!
He’s the Alpha & Omega; Beginning and the end! He has all power in his hands mighty enough to cast out any enemy who tries to wreak havoc where he does not belong! He is Ruler, Healer, Provider, Protecter, one who can resurrect the dead, create the entire universe and declare Himself “The Great I Am!” Shall I say more! I could but I know you get the picture for sure!
If I were on the other side of Faith that would be extremely intimidating! The question would be “How the heck am I ever going to declare victory when He already proclaimed He Wins!!
So I declare publicly in my RealBoldTruth that I am delivered from these types of films. I never realized before the impact that these movies could have on my spirit. I have grown so much in Christ since the last time I watched a scary movie and it became clear quickly that I just can’t partake anymore. I no longer care to upset my soul with this level of nonsense and can find other means of entertainment for real!
Pray you all are having a blessed Sunday and remember, our God Ain’t No Punk!!
This word is for the body of Christ in particular. One day while I was in prayer I asked the Lord what else can we as believers do to help this world besides praying. Prayer is good and does have the power to change things, but I was asking specifics on what more is possible. I heard the Spirit of the Lord Say, “Occupy Until I come.”
After hearing this I began to search the Word of God and found Luke 19:11-13 which is a parable or story that Jesus told. It speaks of a nobleman who needed to leave his servants for a time to establish a kingdom. Before leaving, this man called 10 of his servants, gave them ten minas (one for each of them equivalent to one hundred days of wages) and said “Do business or Occupy until I return.”
Although this portion of scripture relates to money and the Lord expecting his people to do business until he comes back, He showed me that the interpretation surpasses even that. God is reminding His people to take what I have given you and rule, dominate, and seize until I come again.
Before the Lord left us, He supplied His people with 3 very specific tools for use by every believer in our obedience towards doing his business.
1) The Holy Spirit –
The Holy Spirit is to be used in witness and effective ministry amongst the body of Christ and towards those who don’t know Him. We use the Holy Spirit to edify, uplift and encourage others as well as to build up ourselves so that we ourselves can remain strong.
2) The Fruits of theSpirit –
He left us with the fruits of the Spirit which are Love, Patience, Faithfulness, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, Joy, Self-Control and Peace. We need to operate in them all to attend to the body of Christ and those who don’t yet belong. It’s our duty to continually show love and compassion because of the evil and concerns of this world. We must remind and get others to see that God came that we may have an abundant life! (John 10:10).
3) The Anointing –
He gave us the anointing that is useful in breaking every yoke of bondage that people suffer from. We are called to tear down strongholds and things that the world feels that they can’t control or matters that are controlling them. The anointing is also effective in breaking these same matters that try to bind us as well.
In order to assure that we who believe remain focused on this instruction, we need to develop a consistent and purposed routine to get before the Lord. A daily fellowship with Him is necessary. Preferably early in the morning if possible. Start off by first giving him thanks for allowing us to see another day. Read daily devotions and speak aloud affirmations. This process is preparation for the day which sets the precedence for what lies ahead.
Ask God To show you what to do and how you can be used to bless other people. Don’t go out naked before the world and let the enemy wreak havoc over your life.
Represent the Savior, don’t be moved, overwhelmed, and don’t compromise. This is certainly how we must occupy until his return.

I love Sundays! Probably my next favorite day of the week after Fridays for obvious reasons!!
Sundays are serene, a day I can dictate and choose to use as my heart so pleases! Good old Rest and Relaxation is my goal on this day; of course after I come home from Church!
For many, church attendance is optional, not truly a necessity and feels more like a chore. After giving our employer that 9-5 Monday-Friday and Saturdays are used for what we can’t do during the week, Sunday is the day that a great deal choose to sleep in and keep for themselves. Then there are those who have been hurt by the Church and have determined that attendance is just not for them. Watching an on-line or televised inspirational special is good enough. Not to mention convenient and all many are willing to give!
Personally, I completely understand all of these examples. I am a very busy lady! A mother, wife, full time employee, daughter, friend, writer and a multitude of other titles and hats I’ve been blessed to wear. It all gets done someway and some how. Furthermore, I understand church hurt far too well. It stings and offends the soul oftentimes beyond repair if wisdom is not sought in these sensitive cases.
But the RealBoldTruth in the matter is that our Lord and Savior, the precious Heavenly Father clearly instructs that gathering with the saints of God is not an option. He wants us to regardless if the enemy has tricked us into thinking going is not such a big deal. Well, it is!
we deny ourselves and others many blessings. They include extended knowledge, fellowship, opportunities to give (not just finances) and times to receive.
I don’t know about you but there are times when I lie in bed on Sunday mornings and my physical logic just don’t feel like being bothered! It’s that same feeling I get when my brain says go to the gym but my body don’t want to cooperate! When my spirit gets the final say, I drag my flesh into doing what it doesn’t feel like doing. By the time my workout ends, I feel like I can conquer the world! No matter if people around me think, “What in creation is she doing???”
I get this same sense of uphoria after I leave church. My spirit has been touched and edified. I was able to hug or encourage someone who came in discouraged. I find out about a new event that my family or children can benefit from. I meet new friends that add so much value to my life and I pray that I do the same in return. Unexpected blessings occur periodically that I certainly would not have been able to receive if I choose to stay home consistently. Networking connections present themselves and beyond. My soul is charged like a battery until I join the assembly again. There’s nothing like it!
I don’t have to stress the understatement that life can be excruciating at times. The society of others who share our common faith makes our challenges a lot easier to handle. I wish I could say that we don’t have to be guarded in a sense when it comes to us “Church Folk”, but the enemy is who he is amongst humans who will never be flawless!
Develop a gift of discernment when it comes to picking a church and how close you get to those in it. My motto is chew the meat and spit out the bones! That’s the practice of hearing from your spirit man what is for you and what is not! Unfortunately, the devil will walk right up in the building! He will take a seat to continue to cause confusion amongst the saints and the world who watches our conduct.
Regardless of what you decide to do with this gentle reminder, know that it’s a fact, as believers, we need each other to survive.
Happy Sunday!
#GODbeBIG… what does that mean? God is Big! My response is yes. Yes, He is. #GODbeBIG is more than a statement; it is a proclamation that expresses ones submission to GOD’s deity.
It means “Do You!” Do what You said You would do; Be who Your Word says You are! Do whatever it takes to live out the truths of Your Word in my Life…Do You!
Also Proverbs 10:22 …
These are scriptures that primarily causes our hearts to feel good about what we are getting from GOD.
What about the truths that chisel away at the nastiness of our hearts and help us to look more like God? Scriptures like “Repent of your wickedness and pray to the Lord. (Acts of the Apostles 8:22.)
“So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth.”
Also consider 1 John 1:6, or “If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.”
And 1John 1:10
Let God, not only be Big in the good things that happen in, through and around us, but GOD be BIG enough to cause our flesh to take notice of lukewarm and cold areas of our heart. Let Your WORD encourage and convict us to submit and repent.
With this proclamation we take God out of the Box, relinquishing our desire to be in control and allow Him to take his rightful place in our hearts and our lives!
