Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. (John 16:24)

Hello Precious People of God,
Columbus Day and Halloween are well known national holidays in October. These two days of celebration are just two of the days among many that miss the mark of Kingdom of God Principals. Information surfaced revealing the atrocities committed by Christpher Columbus and made it not worthy to celebrate. Halloween Celebrations of the dark side of mankind does not appeal to me at all.
There is, however, an October celebration that brings praise, thanksgiving, and adoration from me. It is my birth month; OCTOBER 18TH is my birthday.
It has been my practice to spend three days around my birthday with God. This year I was blessed to check into a nearby hotel h and rest in and with The Lord; just the two of us. O Glory! I am still opening presents from that meeting.
My hope, joy, peace, and thanksgiving were renewed. I have been given a blank check on which to write Kingdom currency for hope, joy, peace, and thanksgiving. My joy is made full.
In John 16:24 Jesus tells His disciples to ask in His name. He promises them that they will receive whatever they ask for in His name. He goes on to tell them that in doing this, their joy will become full. Their joy will mature and be all that it can be. They will not hunger and thirst for joy. They will be satisfied. Their cup will run over. O Glory! What a marvelous God we serve.
Do not think Precious Ones that I do not go through the storms of life because I do. However, the peace of God and the joy of the Lord is forever present. As I walk through the troubles of this world, the trials, the temptations of this world God never leave my side. He is always in my vision. I never lose sight of Him.
When I think of my beloved daughter who recently left for glory, and sadness tries to fill my heart I look at Him and I receive the assurance of His presence with both of us. When my body experiences the aches and pains of wear and tear, I look to Him and He administers pain relieving balm. When sleep evades me, I talk to Him in prayer for myself and others. Joy fences me in, protecting me from devil designed despair.
I pray in correspondence with Jesus as led by the Holy spirit. I ask Him to fill me, to keep me mindful of His presence and I receive notifications of His presence constantly. O taste and see that the Lord is good.!!!! Mama Church.
