STAND ON GOD'S WORD!

Treasured by God! Sometimes we just need a word from the Word of God to refresh and strengthen us while restoring our hope. "God’s a safe-house for the battered, a sanctuary during bad times. The moment you arrive, you relax; you’re never sorry you knocked." (Psalm 9:9‭-‬10 MSG) I needed this yesterday as the battle I faced was bigger than my ability to fight it. When natural resources have been removed from your reach it's so hard to fight. I've done all I can do now I'm goi

THERE'S ALWAYS A COST!

Treasured by God! There is always a cost associated with the choices we make, no matter how attractive the enemy tries to make it or how our reasoning tries to say otherwise. Choose the price you want to pay. Try to ask yourself these questions before making a decision: Can I pay the cost? Do I want to pay the cost? In light of the cost, what will I choose? After you have weighed, and carefully considered, the cost make your decision. Oh, one more question: Can I, and those c

PSA FROM A SERVANTS HEART:

Treasured by God! I think this is where I need to park, rest. I'm feeling frustrated, powerless, and ineffective. I also know my feelings aren't reality and can't be trusted so I'm going to take a break to rest and just be. I'm going to: Be still. Be quiet. Be prayerful. Be harmless. Like Elijah, I need some food, a nap, and a timeout! So I'm going to do just that. I will rest and not be concerned about anything or anyone. I'm turning my phone off. I can't pour while empty or

THOUGHTS ON MY HEALTHY LIFESTYLE JOURNEY AND RELEASING 56.4 POUNDS!

Some thoughts on my healthy lifestyle and my 56.4 lbs weight released! I found when I ate healthy my cravings eventually went away. While it took 5 1/2 years to reach this goal I have been gaining and losing weight longer than the Israelites wandered in the wilderness! That's not a joke. It's the truth. My weight has been a lifelong struggle! Feeding my body the nutrients it needed was key. I had to educate myself on food and pay attention to triggers and change how I respond

RELEASING PEOPLE!

Treasured by God! Releasing some people and praying for them allows us to be unencumbered by their drama and dysfunction. This doesn't mean you don't care. It means you care about your well being and mental health, which is healthy. They may never own their part in it or their own dysfunction until they have an encounter with the Lord. In the meantime choose peace, freedom, and purpose. Choose freedom in Christ over bondage in people. Sometimes we have to heal from the apolog

LET ME ENCOURAGE YOU!

Treasured by God! Let me encourage you. It's a journey not a quick fix. You may fall but the key is getting back up. When we fall in the natural we don't stay on the ground, quit, or decide walking is too hard or the destination isn't worth it! So get up! Try again! You may fall again, but so what. As long as you don't quit you win! Don't look for perfection look for transformation. You are not alone. God didn't bring you this far to leave you. Trust Him and continue to focus

A TRIBUTE TO MY MOTHER!

Treasured by God! Today I celebrate the life and legacy of a phenomenal woman, my mother Phillippa Frances Jaundoo. I give thanks for the woman I am because of her. Her legacy of love and life lives on in me. I am my mother's daughter and for that I am forever grateful. It has been 12 years since mom’s home going. I can't believe how quickly, and yet how slowly, time marches on. My heart is reminded that her legacy of love remains a part of me. Mom lived in the moment and enj

LOVE IS THE KEY!

Treasured by God! "If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." (1 Corinthians 13:1 NLT) When the Body of Christ rises up and walks in love while obeying God's commands then we will walk in power and impact this world. Right now we're just a noisy gong, a clanging symbol because we have not love. (No, this doesn't apply to everyone but sadly it's this that the world sees so we are painte

Days 28, 29, 30, & 31 of my birthday month celebration! I couldn't think of a better way to end this months celebration than with a praise report! It's taken five and a half years of my weight going up and down and up again over and over again, but I did it! I'm down 56.4 pounds! To God be the glory! Now it's time to work on maintaining this healthy weight, lifestyle, and outlook. It's been a journey. Learning to deal with my unhealthy relationship with food, emotional eating

Day 27 - Birthday Month Celebration!

Days 24, 25, & 26 of my birthday month celebration. Lots of surprises and fun savings! Today my husband came home with a bag from Nordstrom. I got new slippers. If you'd seen my old slippers you'd understand my excitement. No, I'm not sharing a picture and yes I threw them away, reluctantly! I loved those slippers. These new ones rock! When cleaning and reorganizing my prayer room, I found a birthday card from two years ago that had $20 in it! Also found a $20 Amazon gift car

Days 21, 22, & 23 of my birthday month celebration. Went to pick up my glasses Friday in Galveston. Nice ride and I love the new frames. Purple, or anything in the purple family, is my favorite color! While there the eye doctor takes a look at my eyes in passing while saying hello and next thing I know I'm in the chair and have a follow up appointment for Saturday morning for a closer look at my eyes in his Houston office! I'm back on drops and ointment for my eyes. This time

Day 20 - Birthday Month Celebration

Day 20 of my birthday month celebration. There are times I want to go my own way, do my own thing. Then God reminds of the call and purpose of my life. Any choice I make that does not reflect Him is a choice I can't make. I must stay true to my mandate: "Encouraging and Empowering you to become who you were created to be, God's Masterpiece, a Divine Original." FAITH CONFESSION: Lord, thank You for being reachable and approachable. There is nothing I face that You are not ther

Day 19 - Birthday Month Celebration

Day 19 of my birthday month celebration. Spending quality time in my prayer room. I'm doing week two of a six week Bible study, "Galatians Accepted and Free!" This study is with Jada Edwards, the author of the study, and hosted by FaithGateway OBS. All I can do is shake my head at the many nuggets being served up. Being accepted by Christ, commissioned by God, changes everything. I am called, anointed, and appointed by God. Man has no say nor does it matter what they might sa

Day 17 - Birthday Month Celebration!

Day 17 of my birthday month celebration. I have learned to accept my value, from God's perspective. What I do costs spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially. I'm a giver and find it hard to ask for support for my ministry but with age comes wisdom. The Bible says: "Let him who receives instruction in the Word [of God] share all good things with his teacher [contributing to his support]." (Galatians 6:6 AMPC) It is scriptural to give you an opportunity t

Days 13 & 14 - Birthday Month Celebration!

Days 13 and 14 of my birthday month celebration! I rested yesterday. No working out or working on the house. I did participate in something very interesting. Got to dress up too! Wish I'd taken a picture cause I was looking good! Lol! More to come on that later as it's not my story to share, but I was present and accounted for! Today, I'm still chilling while reflecting on the goodness of God! I am amazed by the reception my book is getting. I'm so thankful. I pray it blesses

Devotionals Written by Leisa Wilkins

"The Lord himself is the one who has done this, and it’s so amazing, so marvelous to see!" (Psalms 118:23 TPT) I am so thankful. Only God could have given me the inspiration, wisdom, and insight to write these three devotionals. My first one, "The Encouragement in the Word Ministry Devotional," was published in 2012. My second one, "The Holy Week Devotional," was published in 2015. My third one, "31 Days of Encouragement," was published this week in 2021. Only God could do th
