It's already yours

S: “But there remained seven tribes who had not yet been allotted their grants of land. Then Joshua asked them, “How long are you going to wait before taking possession of the remaining land the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has given to you?” Joshua 18:2-3 NLT

O: The land is already there's. Since the days of Abraham when God gave him the promise. All the Isrealites had to do was possess the land. Yet here we are decades later  in the book of Joshua. The wandering in the wilderness is over, the battles against the giants are over but  7 tribes have yet to be allotted their land. It's your land! In the chapter before we read there were women who went to Joshua to receive their portion of land along with the men of their tribe it was given them. They asked and it was give . These 7 tribes however. Joshua asks then how long are you going to wait to receive the land that's already been given to you. The land that is already yours. The land that the Lord your Gid has given you? How long are you going to wait?

A: In the beginning God made men in his image and made women by the men's rib. He was in awe of what he made and had to take a day to admire her being. In the beginning God created me for a specific purpose. The purpose he has known way before I was in my mothers womb. He has set me apart. He has promised me my gifting and my calling will make room for me. How long will I wait to possess the promise that is already mine!? It's mine! When it comes to being the true Liz I most declare Gods promises are mine just as Kamea proclaims mine, my necklace, my car seat, my food, my water. It's time to possess what's mine! My God, my trueself, my marriage, my spouse, my child, my gifting, my calling, it's time to be allowed what's already mine!

P: Heavenly Father, you have brought me out of the wilderness. I have had victory over the Giants in my life. It is time I possess the things you have already given me. I just want to thank you for never given up on me. Thank you for never forgetting your promise. I praise you for listening to those who stood in the gap and prayed for me. You are sovereign oh God! How merciful and magnifenxt you are! Be with John as he is wandering now. Be also with Zakai, may your face shine upon him, protect him from all that surrounds him that is not of you. From the top of his head to the soles of his feet protect him. May Jonathan also be protect by your mighty hand. May he live in your abundance forever. Lead him and guide him in all the ways he should go. In Jesus precious name, amen.

The Time Has Come

S: ““Moses my servant is dead. Therefore, the time has come for you to lead these people, the Israelites, across the Jordan River into the land I am giving them.” Joshua 1:2 NLT

““Be strong and courageous, for you are the one who will lead these people to possess all the land I swore to their ancestors I would give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you. Do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. Then you will be successful in everything you do. Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”” Joshua 1:6-9 NLT

O: This is it! The time has come! Your season is here for you!!!! Take your place and lead my people into their promise. Remind them of who they are in me! Have strength daughter, be of good courage it's time to invest into others. It is you who will lead them to who they truly are in me. Knowing who I am is knowing who they are, discovering their voice is discovering my will for their lives. Therefore, be strong and very courageous! Do not let fear over take you. Obey the instructions previously given to you from Johnny, Paul and now Patrick. Do not change course, going right when I told you to go left, if you want success in all you do. Take time to study, not analyze, my word continually. It needs to be imprinted on your heart at all times and you must chose to obey them. This is truly the secret to success! You will prosper! This is a command my child, go in strength and have courage! Have no fear, do not be in doubt I am with you at all times wherever you go.

P: Precious Father, I will not try and deter from your command. As Jesus replied in Matthew 3:15, let it be so now; it is necessary for me to do this, to fulfill what you have called me to do. May your spirit oh God decend upon me, fill me up, until I over flow. I want to run over!!!! I am your child, I live in awe of you. I praise you for all you have done and all you are doing in Jesus name, amen.

I Chose You

S: “Let my teaching fall on you like rain; let my speech settle like dew. Let my words fall like rain on tender grass, like gentle showers on young plants. I will proclaim the name of the LORD; how glorious is our God!” Deuteronomy 32:2-3 NLT

Psalm 91

O: As I prepare for the rise of Speak Out may my words drench you, may my the power and deliver of my words soak into you. May the message bring moisture to the dry places and nurture you to greatness. I will declare with great emphasis the name of my God in all his glory and for his glory!!!! I live in his protection and his shielding! Therefore I even in his shadow I find rest!!!! I am conditioned in his presence alone, though the pursuit of trouble and suffering arises. He is my safety, he is the Lord and all my trust is in him alone.  Therefore he rescues me, protects me, covers me, shelters me. I fear him and do not worry about darkness for though I'm surrounded by death, I am saturated with his living water. 

A: I chose the Lord as my refuge. I chose the Most High to be my shelter. No evil conquers me, no plague of pornography, adultery, obesity, perfection, doubt, laziness, fear, will near my home. He has ordered his angels to protect me wherever I go. They will hold me up, and not even a stone will cause me to stumble. I will trample the powerful and crush them under my feet. God says, so it is so, he will rescue me, because I love him. If you love him too, he will also rescue you. If we trust in the power of his name, he will protect us. He listens and answers when we call. In our trouble, he will be with us. He will rescue and honor us, reward us with long life and give us his salvation. We simply must chose him.

P: I chose you oh Heavenly Father! Take all of me glorious Lord. For you alone are God!!!! My foundation is you and your promise says you will rescue me from my enemies, protect me from harm, cover me with your blood and shelter me from danger and trouble. I chose you and you alone are God!!!! You have gifted me to speak before I was formed in my mothers womb. In the beginning was the word, and the word was you, all of you. Your spirit hovered over the darkness and over the void. All you created, you declared good, even me. Who I was from the beginning, before I was formed in my mothers womb you knew and set me apart as a speaker of truth, a communicator of the gospel. As I rise to take my place, I chose you! May your words flow through me and drench your peoples souls. May your power be manifested within them that the words out of my mouth soak into there being. May the message you have given me to proclaim nurture your people back to who you created them to be. I take authority over my gift and calling. I chose you, I trust you, I declare you as my personal Lord and savior. I worship you and praise you for who you are. Thank you for your marvelous mercy and grace. I thank you in advance for the souls who will be reached and saved through your servant. In Jess name, amen!!!!

Promptly

S: ““When you make a vow to the LORD your God, be prompt in fulfilling whatever you promised him. For the LORD your God demands that you promptly fulfill all your vows, or you will be guilty of sin.

But once you have voluntarily made a vow, be careful to fulfill your promise to the LORD your God.” Deuteronomy 23:21, 23 NLT

O: I first knew I had an anointing when I was in high school when I want to my first youth camp. That year Pastor David Herrera was the guest speaker and he had the high schoolers go up to the altar and get prayed up than had the middle school come up behind us. At his direction the high schoolers turned around and started praying for the middle schoolers. I don't remember my prayers, but I know whoever I touched got touched. A youth pastor later in comes to me and says, I see that you are anointed. Will you come and pray for this young lady. From than till now I forgot about that anointing. I hid it underneath fear, doubt, low awl esteem, food, insecurities, and a false identity. BUT GOD, did not forget. As I prepared for this weekend and had my breakthrough before the retreat God reminded me of that anointing. 

A: I've been saved sine I was 13, made a vow to God when I was 14. The vow was still there at 19 and revealed again as a reminder now at 28.  This is my year of preparation. At 29 I'm going to experience God like I have never experienced God before!!!! I wasn't promt in fulfilling my vow to God. I forgot the things I have promised. BUT GOD is a God of second chances and reminds me of who I am in him. The anointing I have through him it's my season! It's my time! The Lord my God has demanded that I now, promptly fulfill all my vows or be held guilty of sin. I was my decision to make a vow to God, it therefore is my responsibility to see it through. Be careful mom, you'll be fine. Father I want to hold you as I fulfill my promise to you!

What are have you vowed to God for? It's time to promptly fulfill your promise!

P: My God!!!! What opportunities you have laid before me! What a privilege it is that you remind me of my vow to you, my anointing and my promises. You alone are The Lord my God!!!! Lord I yearn for you!!!!

 

Be prepared!

S: “When you prepare for battle, the priest must come forward to speak to the troops. He will say to them, ‘Listen to me, all you men of Israel! Do not be afraid as you go out to fight your enemies today! Do not lose heart or panic or tremble before them. For the LORD your God is going with you! He will fight for you against your enemies, and he will give you victory!’” Deuteronomy 20:2-4 NLT

O: The battle is inevitable, be prepared. Get motivation, get inspired! Don't just merely hear the motivation, listen and take heed. It's a daily preparation to not fight out of fear and to not lose heart, panic, tremble, run, be depressed or be discouraged before your enemies. For when we have prepared, the Lord who is our God with us. HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU!!!! Byou need to just be prepared and show up to battle against your enemies and he will give you victory!!!!

A: Stay prepared! The battle will come and as long as I stay prepared by being prayed up, suited up, and inspired there is no amount of fear, discouragement sadness or depression that will keep me from my victory. Being in preparation is doing my part the rest God will give.

P: Oh sovereign God! How great and how awesome are your decrees!!!! Your word is simple and transparent, you will fight for us, you will give us victory as long as we are prepared for the battle! The against are enemies is today! Yet your presence is here! As you promised! I thank you and praise you advance for victory!!!! In Jesus mighty name I pray, amen!

 

Abundance

S: “....for it is he who blesses you with bountiful harvests and gives you success in all your work. This festival will be a time of great joy for all.” Deuteronomy 16:15 NLT

“All must give as they are able, according to the blessings given to them by the LORD your God.” Deuteronomy 16:17 NLT

O: It is God who provides a place of worship. Knowing there we will be blessed with an abundant harvest. There we will be given success in all we do. Therefore, let this be a time of celebration  of great joy for the entire family! 

A: God has blessed us with an abundant harvest alongside success financially and in gifting . Therefore we must give abundantly in tithe and offering and in our gifting because that is what we have been blessed with by God.

P: God you are holy! Blessing us abundantly that we in turn bless others in that same abundance. I pray over the heart of John as we make this transition to give 12%, 10% tithe and 2% offering to Sun Valley. As my business begins to generate we will give 15% and 10% will be given to tithe and 2% to Sun Valley and you will later reveal to me what the remaining 3% will be used for. I feel you know telling me that it be to Isaac for Community Dinners. Connecting with Kris to do the Community Dinners when ready. I'm investing in kingdom work in order to do kingdom work. I pray for all parties involved that our spirits will be aligned with your will. May it be as you have said oh God. In Jesus name, amen.

The Ordinary

S: “Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.” Deuteronomy 8:3 NLT

“When you have eaten your fill, be sure to praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you. “But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the LORD your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and decrees that I am giving you today. For when you have become full and prosperous and have built fine homes to live in, and when your flocks and herds have become very large and your silver and gold have multiplied along with everything else, be careful! Do not become proud at that time and forget the LORD your God, who rescued you from slavery in the land of Egypt. Do not forget that he led you through the great and terrifying wilderness with its poisonous snakes and scorpions, where it was so hot and dry. He gave you water from the rock! He fed you with manna in the wilderness, a food unknown to your ancestors. He did this to humble you and test you for your own good. He did all this so you would never say to yourself, ‘I have achieved this wealth with my own strength and energy.’ Remember the LORD your God. He is the one who gives you power to be successful, in order to fulfill the covenant he confirmed to your ancestors with an oath.” Deuteronomy 8:10-18 NLT

O: The wise man found Jesus among the ordinary. God came to the Israelites through the ordinary. He humbled them through the struggle and gave them what they needed in a way it was only him. No one before them had ever eaten manna. It was created just for the Israelites, Gods chosen people.  Are we not Christ's chosen? Are we not a royal priesthood? A chosen generation! Not by man standards but according to the word of God!!!! It was through the ordinary God taught the Isralites and it is through the ordinary he still teaches us today as long as we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord!!!! 

     As we live by every word of God and we walk in the gifting of God he gave to us we will be full of greatness!!!! It is through the ordinary we become great and in our greatness we must never forget to praise God!!!! Praise him for all he has done, all he has given, all he will continue to do until the day we meet him. Never stop seeking God until you meet him!!! For in the time we experience exponential greatness is when we need to be especially careful we don't forget who God is and the amazing things he has done to get us to our exponential greatness! This is not the time to disobey his commands, but the time to keep seeking him face to face and praising him for all he has done! When we are our true selves, using the ordinary, the struggle to refine us we must not be become proud and forget where we came from. It was through Gods grace and mercy that we have truly became the "you God knew"! 

A: God has humbled me and tested my character proving I can endure! God did it in a way that it was him! He is the leader over me and I adjust to the opportunities he bestows on me. I will not be able to achieve the wealth through my inspirational message without my relationship with God. It is with his strength and energy that I am who I am!!!!

P: Lord I remember you forever. You are God! You give power through the ordinary, through the struggle. You have used my past and the journey of my life to create who I am. You are the source of my power to be successful as a speaker in order to fulfill the covenant you confirmed to those who came before me.  The same energy it took to be the perverted me, like the scareers in Monsters Inc. When they activated the peverted them they only can fill the energy tanks so far. But when they activated the true them the humorous them, they started doing and being there true selves by embracing who they are they provided even more energy to fill the tanks! When I move beyond the ordinary I become extraordinary in your eyes oh God!!!! In Jesus name, amen!!!!

Your sin will find you out

S: “Then Moses said, “If you keep your word and arm yourselves for the LORD’s battles,....then you may return when the LORD has conquered the land. You will have fulfilled your duty to the LORD and to the rest of the people of Israel. And the land on the east side of the Jordan will be your property from the LORD. But if you fail to keep your word, then you will have sinned against the LORD, and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.” Numbers 32:20, 22-23 NLT

O: Gods word is simple and black and white. He calls you, you vow to fulfill the calling, you fulfill the calling and receive the promises of God. However, if he calls you, you vow to fulfill the calling but you don't fulfill the vow. You in turn become the perverted you. Therefore have sinned against God and surely your sin will find you out.See, Gods people, us, the body, the church we are always in war, which is why in Ephesians Paul tells us to daily put on the full armor of God. It is the only way to fight the Lords battle. 

A: It's simple Elizabeth, keep your word. Fulfill what you have vowed Bernice, to the Lord. Arm yourself Ellsworth, with the full armor of God daily for the Lords battle. Then, when the Lord has conquered the land you will return to him and receive all his promises.  1 keep your word, 2 fulfill your vow, 3 arm yourself, 4 receive Gids promises 

P: You move mountains!!!! You make miracles! You cause walls to fall! How great and how awesome are you oh Heavenly Father?!!!! You are good and your mercy endures forever, you are good, you are great. KNOW YOUR VOICE, KNOW YOUR WORTH!!!! You are valued young woman, young man. For God has called you his own! He says you were to die for! Oh what sovereign God you are!!!!

The city of Meribah

S: [The Lords Command to Moses]

“Moses and Aaron turned away from the people and went to the entrance of the Tabernacle, where they fell face down on the ground. Then the glorious presence of the LORD appeared to them, and the LORD said to Moses, “You and Aaron must take the staff and assemble the entire community. As the people watch, speak to the rock over there, and it will pour out its water. You will provide enough water from the rock to satisfy the whole community and their livestock.””

Numbers 20:6-8 NLT

[What Moses actually did.]

“Then he and Aaron summoned the people to come and gather at the rock. “Listen, you rebels!” he shouted. “Must we bring you water from this rock?” Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with the staff, and water gushed out. So the entire community and their livestock drank their fill.” Numbers 20:10-11 NLT

[The consequence]

“But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust me enough to demonstrate my holiness to the people of Israel, you will not lead them into the land I am giving them!” This place was known as the waters of Meribah (which means “arguing”) because there the people of Israel argued with the LORD, and there he demonstrated his holiness among them.” Numbers 20:12-13 NLT

O: I GOT IT!!!! The hurt that all six of us experienced in our own way I have been able to deal with. There is no amount of conversation that will change the hurt they have. Being the true Liz despite of the pain shows them we are not defined by the sins of mom nor are we defined by our past. Only we can shape our future by using the hurt to manifest who we are. Moses was chosen by God and had experienced God in two unique ways no one in the bible or on earth has ever experienced. Yet he did not listen to God when God commanded him to speak to the rock and the rock will pour out water. Instead Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with the staff, and water gushed out. Moses disobeyed Gods command. Moses did not trust God enough to demonstrate his holiness by simply speaking to the rock. Therefore, Moses did not lead the Israelites into the land God had giving them. 

God is the God of this city! He has commanded me to help people discover who they are by by building then into confident and courageous speakers. So far since I've been in Denver I've allowed John to try and tell me who I am and what's my worth. Although this revelation was revealed I've allowed myself to engage in a small conversation that would have been escalated if not stopped when it was stopped. All these situations can hinder me from speaking, including speaking about my health and how I have overcome it. 

A: I am no longer apart of the Williams Family and I have to accept that. I am apart of Gods family and he has commanded me to do things beyond the resolute protection the Williams have become accustomed to. In a schizophrenic episode, a tipsy prideful mindset, an attempt to make it all right and an overbearing mediator unable to be stable we are all drawn by the dysfunction and gravitate to each other. However, God has changed my name. I am ELLSWORTH NOW!!!! I will never be the same. I am not better then them, I simply have chosen to use my pain as my greatest asset. As CJ said, use what they say about you as apart of the building of the brand. The false identity created from someone else's assumptions of you can lead to a downward unhealthy spiral or can be manifested into a business to help people in the same situation. I am not my Sinologist savior and I am not determined to protect the dysfunction we call Williams. I am Elizabeth Bernice Ellsworth!!!! I am reclaiming my marriage, my city, my name and my life. This is the city of Meribah. I have argued with mom, I have argued with Tana, I've even argues with God yet he will prove himself and demonstrate his holiness among all of us. 

P: Oh God, oh magnificent and holy one you are. You worthy to be praised and all the honor is yours. You are a God of numbers and also a God of names. You give names and you take them away. We have restored the name of a city and the name of your kingdom. You brought me hear to Denver, to a valley in order for me to experience the mountain top!!!! It's my final amen soon into who I am to be. You are naming God. Please. Give me strength as I reclaim! All for your glory God, breaking chains for the legacy of the next generation. WHOOO!!!! In Jesus mighty name, amen

Pass

S: “They incited a rebellion against Moses, along with 250 other leaders of the community, all prominent members of the assembly. They united against Moses and Aaron and said, “You have gone too far! The whole community of Israel has been set apart by the LORD, and he is with all of us. What right do you have to act as though you are greater than the rest of the LORD’s people?” When Moses heard what they were saying, he fell face down on the ground.” Numbers 16:2-4 NLT

O: Prayerfully standing in the gap for people, even those who do not deserve it. 

A: Go to God and talk it out with him. He already knows but can't go forth in healing if I don't give it over to him. In a track race there are several members of the team throughout the track. The first one runs as fast as they can to pass of the baton to the next runner. That runner takes off with it as fast as they can and hands it off to someone else, the last member in order to win the meet. Let's look at the first runner as other people, family, friends, strangers, exes, all of those who have and can hurt us. The baton is that hurt they freely pass to us and we freely accept. We usually run aimlessly to whoever will hear us when instead we need to pass the baton, pass our hurt to God. The author and finisher of our faith. For with him we will always win. We will win over our hurt and those who hurt us. Hurt people hurt people, but we are all part of the same team and instead of being defined by their hurt, we must talk it out and pass the hurt to God. He will always do what is best for all.

P: Prayer is what set Moaes apart. He fell face down before you as an immediate response to hurt, as a response to those who tried to carry on the false identity and thought themselves as too highly. Oh but God you have called me by name and set me apart for your glory. And I will do anything to see you. You are glorious oh awesome God!!!!
