It's Time to BREAK FREE!

What are you saying? Did you really just say that? Why say it IF you don’t even mean it? Do you realize that “the words of our mouths create our world” and if we wish to LIVE HEALTHY, HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS LIVES… we must guard our hearts, thoughts and tongues?

I should have written this last week, last week on Wednesday to be exact, because it was then that these questions began to form in my spirit. It was also on that date, May 22, 2012, when I allowed certain words to flow freely out of my mouth. In the book of Luke 6:45, the word of God says,” the good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speak.” What’s happening in your heart? For whatsoever consumes your heart will soon consume your mouth.

Last week I found myself facing a very difficult challenge and on Tuesday night I wasn’t sure just what to do; so I prayed and determined in my heart that this was just a temporary situation and just as all the rest of them, this too shall pass. When I awakened on Wednesday morning I was refreshed and renewed in my mind. No longer was I thinking about the situation… I was focused on the solution. That morning’s commute was different from every other morning in that I prayed all the way there. I decreed things, spoke LIFE in every situation and for every person I know and I remember clearly calling forth the wealth transfer mentioned in Proverbs 13:22. I prayed for every person, known and unknown, whose path will lead to me or mine to theirs and as I prayed I began to “feel” my help come. I continued in this vein for the entire commute and then I began to worship and this is when I heard it. A small, still voice saying “yes”… it was as if the Lord was waiting for me to come to this place.

From that moment on, I have felt “reborn” literally. I felt as though I had just broken through some invisible shield that had me wrapped up. I equate this to the act of child-birth. There comes a time during pregnancy when the baby has to come forth. The water breaks and after a few strategic pushes, tears and pain… the baby is forced through the womb and into another world, one that he/she is not yet accustomed to ; yet, the very world he/she was designed for. The child was never supposed to live in the womb longer than the recommended 9 month period and if it did, it could cause harm to the carrier and to the child. At a particular, appointed time, the child has to come out and so it is also with spiritual babes and destinies. This is what I faced on last Wednesday. It feels as though I have broken through that barrier and I am headed to a new destination… one I’ve not yet experienced; but, it’s the very thing I was created for. I would have never before thought of myself as a babe in Christ; what after 14 years, I’d say I am a very mature Christian; however, it feels like God had to keep me in a protective barrier until He was ready to release the uniqueness of the design and purpose He has made me for so it would not be corrupted by man’s (or my) hands. Since that day (Wednesday, May 22, 2012), my rebirth day, everything that I have spoken or visualized has come to pass speedily and my FAITH has catapulted to a new level.

This is a very victorious season in the lives of believers and for the kingdom of God; however, if we are to possess our promise lands and obtain our prizes, we must be careful to stay in our rightful places. We must speak life, trust God and DO whatever HE instructs us to in this new place.

First order of business, our mouths! What are we saying? What are we singing? Do we know and understand that those lyrics we’re spitting are actually words that have the power to create or devastate our lives? We bob our heads to the beat, all the while allowing words contrary to what we believe to penetrate our hearts and to flow from our lips. It’s time to wake up; Christians are being deceived through music, television and radio waves. The enemy is subtle; but, we must always be on guard. Our children are barely being given a chance because of the blatant disrespect that is flung out promiscuously at them. The results are teenage pregnancy, bullying, disease, loss of childhoods, drugs, etc. It’s time for the chosen of the Lord to break free and come into their own so that we may come to their aide. Our children need us; they need to know that we are here for them, covering and protecting them… shielding them from every attack of the enemy.

It’s time for us to possess the lands we have been called to and given. It’s time to correct the terrible wrongs we’ve allowed in our world. It’s time to bring HOLY back, that we may live wholly and righteously in this world.

Let us come together in Unity for the sole purpose of soul-winning… it’s time for KINGDOM building. It's time for us to open our mouths and declare the ways and will of the Lord. It's time to walk in it and it's time for us to be the example in this earth of what true success is. Success is our promise, as is abundant life; we just have to accept it and do what is necessary to attain it. It is time for the children of the world to look at us Christians and see prosperous individuals, living joyously, happily and FREELY... bringing GLORY to GOD!!!

I hope you’re ready and with me because it will take all of us joined together to present a broad view of success in Christ Jesus. BREAK FREE today; let us dominate... for the kingdoms of this world are be become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ and HE (we) shall reign (victoriously) forever. Let's take this world by storm... as we BREAK FREE and LIVE FREE!!!

God Bless YOU,
Dee Poole

Growth IS Possible (if you want it)

I will start this particular writing with the most intimate truth and that is that I almost didn't write it at all. This is the type of writing that will bless or help anyone who is serious about change; but, it is also the type of writing that can tickle the fancy of those who love to gossip. So, why am I still writing? Because of a true passion to help women attain wholeness and grow in their walk with God, love for self and then for others. It is my desire to help women who don't understand why their relationships aren't or haven't worked thus far and hopefully encourage all women to seek to live their absolute best life right now (either while in a relationship or while preparing for one).

I began 2012 finishing a book entitled "LET LOVE BE... without Hypocrisy" and it is a very good book! Since that writing, I have been challenged to come up higher in my own love walk on every level, with every person. This challenge really began with my love relationship with God. I remember clearly the day I drove to work crying passionately in prayer... I was asking and granting Him permission to do a complete work in me. This heartfelt request has brought me to a place I'd never thought I'd be and yet a place I would never have known to ask for in the natural.

My prayer was sincere, "Lord, make me the woman you originally designed"; "when you look for Debra in this earth, I want you to see the whole woman, doing the exact work that you purposed her for". To get me to this place would require me to be broken, humbled, pruned, and finally put back together. It has been a very difficult; yet necessary, process. It hurt and some of the trials made me wonder if I was losing my mind. Truth is I did lose my mind; and I gained another mind (the mind of Christ). I lost the selfish, self-involved me and gained a softer, more open and most feminine me.

I had never realized how hard, edgy and controlling I'd become in the years that followed my divorce. During those years I went from being a wife to the bread-winner, the manager, the business-owner, the (single) mommy and the boss in every role of my life; including the few relationships that I attempted to have. As I write this, I've realized that it is actually exhausting to BE all of that and that at this moment I am truly enjoying the vulnerability I feel right now as I trust God for His perfect design for me. It appears that I have lost all control and that I am daily awaiting the next instruction from Him. This is a very interesting place to say the least and when it all balls down to it; I see it as preparation for the next stage of my life. He is teaching me how to let go of the reins, not so everything falls apart; rather, that all things may come together perfectly.

I always did believe that God loves all His children equally and that He'd not give me a gift (husband) unless I was able to honor and respect it and all that it represents to me. I now know that is absolutely the truth… why would an all-loving, equality God give me His child for me to abuse it? Instead, He humbled me, softened me and prepared me before He chose to bless me with that "sweet surprise". The “sweet surprise” as I’ve termed my future husband has not yet arrived; yet, the sweetest surprise that I have gained from this season is that of gaining "me" back. Me free from all residue and pain, free of the unreal expectations and cares of what others think… yeah, the me who is totally consumed with being the woman, doing the thing that she was created for. The woman God originally designed.

I love being me; even this me who I'm learning more about every day... this soft, feminine, loving, pure-hearted, FREE and purposed me. 2012 has been the most liberating season of my life… I hope you are living in your most liberated seasons as well. If you're not, I'd venture to say that this is the time to let go of the reins, trust God as never before with your right now, in preparation for your tomorrow.

He knows exactly what you need and when given the opportunity, He will do for you the very thing necessary to get you where you need to be. He is a loving Father who will complete the work He's begun in you... you've only to believe Him, grant permission and relax through the process. :) Breathe in and out, put your hand in His and walk (sometimes blind-folded) into the places He will lead you to. I guarantee that when He's through, you'll be so happy that you gave Him the opportunity to give you back to YOU and to put you back on track to your ultimate purpose. Now it's YOUR choice to walk in it.

God Bless YOU,
Dee

Live the Prophecy! (YOUR PROPHECY)

We are coming up on the midway point of 2012 and I am still wishing you a most prosperous year. Today is the day that I am ready to release the vision that I have for Sister Circle, Women of Destiny, LLC and E.B. University (FB). These groups were 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. 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’ve 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 WORLDWIDE... 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,

~Debra D. Poole

Balancing the 3 M's...

I LOVE Women of Destiny and all we offer to the women of this world. Even more, I love the opportunities that we are able to give other women as well. What is really amazing to me is being able to hear the stories these ladies share. Today I wish to share with you the heart of a dear friend and woman, Mrs. Dondra Madise is a beautiful woman with a tremendously giving heart (her life goals make me smile), she is a committed wife, mother of 3, my sister and an inspiration to many. ENJOY what she has composed especially for Women of Destiny's Newsletter. Read what she's written and allow the words of her heart to penetrate your soul. God Bless YOU. ~Dee

Balancing MY 3 M's... "As I sit and look at my life, I wonder "how could this be"? How did I get to this place where I look in the mirror and the reflection is not me? As a young girl, I always imagined my life as a FAIRY TALE; I would meet my prince charming and we would travel the globe. I never saw myself as a mother or stay a home mom. I envisioned myself as a business woman with success on every hand. Well life happens and things change; so now I find myself balancing motherhood, marriage and ministry. Motherhood, as rewarding as it is, is very challenging. I often wonder if I'm doing a good job. Also, if my mother was still here would she be proud of me? As in the professional world, we want to be rated, honored, appreciated and recognized it's the same with motherhood. Yes, we have mother's day but sometimes we just need a little more; a daily reminder to keep us pushing and uplifted. Then, there's marriage! The bible calls the woman "A VIRTUOUS WOMAN"; well living to that standard can be difficult. Often wondering, "AM I DOING ALL I SHOULD AS A WIFE?" In the book of Jeremiah, God compares the people of Israel to a bride and groom. When the people turned away from GOD he said it's like when a woman steps outside her married covenant and commits adultery. It confirms to us that God values marriage just as we should. Marriage is work and just as work goes "you have to show up and to the job to get the pay." A marriage will not have success without effort from both partners. Lastly, there's ministry, giving God my daily devotion as I strive to live a Godly life. Studying his word and applying it to my everyday lifestyle is sometimes a struggle. At the end of it all, I realize God is in complete control; my life is not my own. God knows what's best for me and I'm thankful that God knows the inner me, the "me" my eyes can't see. So I say THANK YOU GOD for allowing me to walk in your PERFECT WILL!!! LORD, I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING". The moral to the story is sometimes we have to stop comparing what our life is to what we thought our life would be, learn to be grateful and trust that GOD will never fail you. HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER! Don't waste anymore time thinking back and began to WALK FORWARD. DONDRA MADISE
