Life's Journey

Life is a journey and along its roads; we are bound to find travelers with differing views and opinions. It is much easier to make this trek when we realize that it is our differences that make us GREAT and that other people's opinions, though theirs ~ is still only an opinion. What someone else thinks, says or believes about you should not be your total focus; rather, what God thinks, says and KNOWS to be true about you and what you have learned, lived and recognized as your truth... these are most important. Sometimes those very opinions can spur us on to GREATNESS. If we will allow them to challenge us, they may even change us into something or someone greater than we could have ever been had we not been privy to the information at all.

Today, I am not too big on other's opinions of me... I am most focused on whom and what God has shared with me about me; however, I have grown enough to know that not every harsh word I receive is meant to be harsh. It is all a matter of perception. Every person I deemed my enemy may not be; however, even if they see themselves that way, the Word of God says they will become my footstool and what the enemy meant for harm (and that can very well extend to the enemy's use of another to harm me) God will turn for my good.

I am learning more of my Father's ways and His thoughts in this season and as I still myself in Him and wait patiently (silently), I am amazed as HE fights my battles... granting sweatless victories and teaching me biblical principles through life experiences. I am enthralled in these lessons of life. Captivated by the wisdom of my teacher, (my Heavenly Father) and His choice of earthly instructors, those He uses to challenge, grow and mature me further in Him.

Life is beautiful. It is simply a wonderful gift given and I am learning to enjoy it with all its lessons and blessings; friends, families and would be foes who have a unique way of becoming blessings by teaching me and helping me to become a better person. Now if I can just learn the lessons without reacting to them first... I'll be on top of the world... oops, I forgot, I already am.

“I Am”… blessed and highly favored… a woman of regal standing in the Kingdom of God.

God Bless You,

Embrace YOUR Liberty!

I gave up my seat in Glory
To enable you to rewrite your story
To correct a horrible wrong
I stepped down from Heaven’s Throne.

Born thru a virgin maiden
Birthed in a lowly manger
Greeted by angels carols
While shepherds watch a keeping
Wise men bowed before me
But that’s only part of my story.

At twelve I astounded physicians
With wisdom that was purely divine
Turning water into wine was quite easy
Though in truth, it was not yet my time.
I notably healed the sick, raised the dead,and made blinded eyes to see.
I cast out demons, made deaf ears hear and I even made mute mouths speak.
Proving disease can’t exist around me

These truths have all been duly noted;
Rearranged, placed in sermons and quoted
I’ve heard the stories of my entrance, my exit and the journey in between
But, today I’ve come to shed a light on truth that is rarely seen.
There was a purpose for my coming,
And yes, in part, it was to redeemed;
But there was so much more originally in store for all who would willingly believe.
Now this truth I pray you can receive.

There is a purpose for everything that God does.
And redemption was necessary it’s true.
But there was much more than that left for you.
Abundant life was the promise that I gave you;
Authority through keys given too.
Power over darkness through the use of my name
Victory over all things through this Words you proclaim.

You are royalty and I’ve come to remind you
Of your position as joint-heirs to the throne.
For when you opened your mouth to receive Me as Lord
Heaven became your new home.
Yes, my journey upon the earth was to restore you back to God
To have you seated with Me in Glory at His right side.
So I’ve stopped in today to remind you why you should sing.
It’s because of the salvation, liberation and the victory I bring.
‘Cause I lived and still do live
Though I chose to die for sin;
I covered you forever even before your life was to begin.
You’ve been redeemed, you’ve been washed and you are now covered in my blood.
So your mentality can not remain worldly;
You’ve been positioned in Heaven above.
You are heirs to MY promise and that promise is an Abundant Life.
So sing out loudly and rejoice proudly as you walk BOLDLY in this new light.
For the TRUTH of why I came was to bring order and set all things right!

Now remember that you are royalty; joint-heirs with Me to the throne.
I came to live life before you victoriously; an example of our life at home.
Walk out your paths on earth in victory; for truly, Victory is yours to obtain.
To give you back the power, authority and abundance in life, is truly the answer to why I came.
It is time to experience HEAVEN’S REIGN!

Face YOUR "Self".

This is the year to receive the promises of God! I know it, I post it, I quote it and I believe it! How do we see the promises of God manifested in our lives? Will it be easy to walk in and possess the land? What happens when it seems like the opposite is what you see instead?

I began this writing with questions because it IS the year for manifestation; however, your enemy (and mine) will not just sit idly by and watch as we receive what God has for us. He will fight with all he has and then will try to entice us to forfeit our promises with ideas and false images or false realities that are designed to make us lose focus. Today's encouragement comes to enlightened you and makes you aware of some of the ploys of the enemy and how he operates.

I've always heard that the enemy's tricks are the same and they are; however, the way he presents them will be different and you must be aware of that to overcome them. Last week I was so excited... I'd made up my mind that I was about to begin a new exercise regimen. I'm moving towards something new and for that to be, I must be at my best. Not only will I feel better and look better; but, for the place I'm going, I have to BE BETTER. I'm excited, psyched and ready to move. I sat in on a meeting where I heard the instructor say something about choice and laying down his choice for a better choice (God's choice) even if it didn't feel good to his flesh.

I listened intently, I heard what was said and as awesome and as innocent as it was, the enemy began to throw up some things from my past that would have had me forfeiting my new found desire. In my past experience, men would always put demands on what I looked like physically, so much so, that I began to rebel. Purposely, I'd do the opposite of what they desired because I wanted to know that I was loved for me and not for my appearance. I needed to know that the love was sincere and how best to test it than to have them select me despite the fact that they didn’t get their desire. I realize that this thinking, though justifiable, was foolish. Foolish because in all actuality, I desired what they wanted as well; but, because it was stated in a manner that was offensive to me, I rebelled. Looking back... I admit, I didn't hurt them, I hurt myself. I was sabotaging my self and didn't realize it.

Well, as I walked last week, a part of my new routine, these thoughts came back into my head. Why make yourself this way for them? You'll never know if they love you if... and I finally saw past that to the truth. It matters most what our motives for doing a thing is. I am preparing for something wonderful, something valuable in the sight of God and man. The enemy would try to use this old, negative way of thinking to trap me and keep me bound. He doesn't want me to fulfill my purpose so he tries to pervert the thinking, pervert the process. “Do not become your best” is what he’d say to me, though it is a necessary requirement for the next stage of life, because of what someone else said that had absolutely nothing to do with me. WOW!!!

What kind of tricks is he trying to use on you? What old mindsets did you have that the enemy would try to use to keep you defeated? Think on that for a moment and then decide as I, to face your "self", deal with that issue and then walk over the defeated enemy in your life. Replace old mindsets with new ones. Check your motives in all things and KNOW why you are doing what you do. When you KNOW who you are... you also KNOW who you are not. Continue to live a valuable life that is in total agreement with what God has declared for your future.

Do not allow the enemy to defeat you this year. As you guard your heart (and mind) this season, KNOW that in doing so, you are protecting your investment; you are protecting your harvest! You are preparing and moving toward the manifestation of God's promise. Keep your eyes on the prize and you (we) shall definitely attain. Remember the PROMISE... Do the work... and WALK IN your DESTINY, one step at a time.

First step is simply: face yourself... for only when you do, can you... Renew YOUR MIND.

Live the PROPHECY,

Much Change Going On!

I sit pensively today; thoughtful about life and where I'm headed. Much thought about my future has me silently listening for instructions from my creator. Questions posed in my spirit has me wondering what's next and thinking about how easily we can become off track if we don't know His plan.

I've made plans that make sense in my own thinking; however, the word of God states in Isaiah 55:8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts. Nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord. Verse 9 further states, "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts". I see that I'm changing. I sense the change within, I see people being removed and though I'd like to complain, I can't. I know it's God. He's stretching me; I'm growing and learning to depend most on Him and less on man.

God is doing a new thing and He's declared that before it springs forth, He'll tell us of it. I've been shown my future; however, the steps to get there remains in His hands. As the time nears for the manifestation, I notice, I need to be in closest fellowship with God Almighty. His thoughts toward me are only good and never evil; to bring me to an expected end. He's declared my END from the beginning and I’m now walking into my future. A future planned before my existence, a future that is destined to glorify God.

Yielding myself to Him, releasing my hold (vice grip) on my own plans and embracing His bring me to a place of solidarity. A place where I see that which He desires I see. This is a place of certainty in Him and a place of fulfillment within. Wholeness comes when one observes and comprehends their purpose for living. I now know that all my plans, though big in my own mind, are truly less than His for me. I look forward to this year and all it promises.

Manifestation of HIS absolute best is what I expect to receive from the one who loves me unconditionally and has predestined a life that is beyond anything I could orchestrate. I love Him and I honor Him, as I take this new season of one on one with my creator, I smile with recognition. This is the position that qualifies me to step over into the Greatest LIFE ever. The year of MANIFESTED PROMISE.

2010 ~ My BEST YEAR YET!!!

LIVE THE PROPHECY!

Women of Destiny, LLC


I wish you a most prosperous New Year. Today is the day that I am ready to release the vision that I have for Sister Circle (FB). This group was designed for women worldwide to come together and support and assist one another in our developmental processes. We have women of every walk of life... here on Sister Circle. We have Ministers, Pastors, Doctors, Lawyers, Philanthropists, Entrepreneurs, Writers, CEO's and Presidents of companies; we have mothers, and daughters, friends and sisters, family. We have WOMEN on every level ~ young and old; naturally, mentally and spiritually.

It has been my experience personally and I've found through Women of Destiny that women who sit behind desks are no different than women who stand behind counters. Women who are rich are no different from women who are poor when it comes to pain. We all hurt and have to cry sometimes. We've all experienced tremendous blows to our ego and self-image and hearts and we all need support and love. Let me expound a little more; when I say we're no different... I mean simply that we are all human. What we choose to do in our lives is totally up to us; therefore, I judge no one by status. Yes, I can respect a woman who has her stuff together and applaud/commend her for the diligence and determination it takes to accomplish outstanding goals; however, I will still honor and respect the woman standing behind a department store counter or taking my order at a fast food restaurant for her dedication and commitment to live. When I look at women as a whole, I honor and respect all. I will never think any woman to be better than me OR less than me because of status... for that is subject to change and is temporal. When it comes to the Body of Christ, I see all the same. You are connected to me spiritually and I respect my connections.

Now that I've made that clear, let’s move on to the more important point; that of healing, wholeness, unity and love (God's way). It is my desire to see every woman WHOLE and walking in her predestined place in the Kingdom of God. It is my assignment to aide in that process. I been given a unique gift to be able to see in a person their God-given talents, gifts and purpose and call it forth. Speak to me about your passion, the driving force behind what you do and together we'll find a way to make it be.

Decree a thing and it shall be established, according to the word of God. This is where we're going THIS YEAR!!! If you are in agreement with me, I need you to show your faith by posting your prophecy, share what you believe in faith... speak it out and we shall all stand together in unity to agree with the vision and plan of God for your lives to be made manifest.

I've shared with you my prophecy in the writing "Embracing the NEW"... I am Debra Poole or "Virtuous" (God calls me that), a Woman of God, called and chosen by God to share Him (in every capacity) with the world! Worldwide ministry, poetry, books, companies, etc. Focus is on Kingdom Building (soul winning), Fulfilling Destiny (purpose), Wholeness (all that God says) and UNITY (oneness of heart)!!! I am a Self-Esteem Advocate and Women of Destiny's 12-month Program is the way I teach all what God has taught and is still teaching me daily through divine revelation. This is my purpose for living and the promise is to do this WORDWIDE... not just Louisiana.

Okay, now it's your turn. BREATHE LIFE INTO THE PROMISE OF GOD FOR YOU... SPEAK TO YOUR VISION... SPEAK LIFE!!!

Living the Prophecy,
