Brown Sugar & Shimmer

It is so easy to compare ourselves in today's world to picture perfect Instagram models and successful young entrepreneurs. We tend to forget that God has a specific and tailored design plan for his children, and each plan is going to be very different for each person. We need to learn to love ourselves the right way and be encouraged by what the word says about God and what God says about loving his children. We are perfect to God when we don't think we are perfect or enough for ourselves.

Stop letting anyone, anything, and everyone have access to you. Learn to say no and learn the signs of being overexerted and exhausted. Find things that pour into you whether old or new.

My take on believers consuming alcohol.

Have you been catching yourself dwelling on the way things use to be? Or wishing to be back at things during a simpler time?

Seasons Two Of Brown Sugar and Shimmer will be starting up next week and I am so excited to be back and dropping messages from God. If you have any topics you want discussed or Questions you want answered. Don't be afraid to send a message letting me know.

The Lies, Shame, and Embarrassment set onto people by family members, family friends, abusers and even church figures has allowed for the enemy to run rampid in the body of Christ when it comes to abuse. Specifically sexual abuse. You are supposed to keep quiet about it because it's embarrassing or it never happened. Generation upon generation upon generation has lived with having to suppress trauma that has happened to them, but if you have given your life over to Christ you say "NO MORE"

This is a very long winded message but the information is so powerful. I have been waiting to share it with you all and God finally gave me the say so. This fall a GREAT Cleansing will be coming. I highly encourage for you to head into prayer and ask God what are his specific instructions for you. Also, one of the YouTube channels where the prophetic words are on is Spirit Move Ministries. Go check it out. Check out our Instagram page @brownsugarandshimmer

Me, Me, Me does not apply to the Bible at all. Your feelings on how certain scriptures make you feel is not grounds for the entire Bible to be cancelled. You cannot pick and choose what you want from the Bible. The Bible is given to us by God to be Guidance. So if you have a problem with it. I suggest getting in your prayer closet and talking to God.

God is married to the serial sinner, the misfit, the substance abuser, the BACKSLIDER! God is married to the BACKSLIDER! Do not hide in shame when you sin. Stand up, repent, brush yourself off and ask for The Lord God to help you try again. It is only through God that we are healed and cleansed appropriately. We can't go elsewhere for spiritual help. Come before the father. He is our first "Through sickness and health."

Seeds of self sabotage were planted early on in some of our lives. Through family, through friends, and through life events. This inner defense mechanism is a weapon against trying to get into our full potential of God. We automatically associate how we act towards people in real life, and think this is how we are supposed to act with God. It is so far from the truth. When you come to God you can come with no filter! Express how you feel, express your wants, express how good he makes you feel express your thankfulness, your hurt, your tears, etc. God is ready and waiting to hear them all.

During my morning time with God I was lead to read pslams. These particular versus stuck out to me Pslams 107: 34-39. They are literally written proof of history Repeating itself in this world, when it comes to Pedophilia, Child Sacrifes, and in a sense child sex trafficking. Though many may not see the correlation of it, it is as plain as day.

It's a burning question we all come to at least once in our lives, and that is if masturbation really is a sin. This topic is either neglected by the church or met with a quick blurt out of "IF YOU DO IT YOUR GOING TO HELL" and that's the end of the discussion. How does that answer a question to a curious child or knowledge seeking adult who isn't trying to search in the wrong places for the answer. Though it does not mention the specific word in scripture and does not have a main story for it. In this podcast I'll give my personal experience with the subject and another experience from a YouTuber that I watched and what his take on it was as well. In the end you should pray to the Lord for the final decision in YOUR PERSONAL LIFE. We are all different and we have lacked areas of our life. But this subject does not need to be something we question anymore.

Have you been feeling a nudge from God for quite some time? Have you been experiencing a decreased amount of satisfaction for things that you usually do? Are you tired of your life being the way that it is? If you say yes to one of these things chances are God is calling you to a higher purpose. In order to get there you have to have a relationship with the Lord. Take up your cross and start walking.

I've been noticing a lot of believers in Christ not appreciating their walk with the Lord. I think a lot of times we end up comparing ourselves too much to other people's walk with Christ that we don't even take the time to appreciate our own. Today reevaluate the way you think of your walk with God and tell the Lord thank you for being with me for as far as I've come and where you're going to take me. You are moving. Enjoy your journey.

When is the last time you've sat and weeped for God? When is the last time you tried to understand how hurt God is about the world? We see him as a fairy God mother and and personal servant and he is none of those things. He is our father and he makes sure our needs are met on the daily. Create a time and space for the Lord in your schedule, and don't ask for anything physical just say "Lord what is it you want me to know about you today"

In today's episode were going to be talking about your voice! The power behind it, the authority behind it, and why it's so important to understand who you are in Christ. Ask yourself does "Does God own my voice?' or "Does the devil own my voice?". Think about how you speak on a daily basis. What is coming out of your mouth? Is it life or is it fire set by hell itself?

Demonic possession is not limited. Anyone even Christian's CAN BE POSSESSED if your heart isn't right. We need to gather in prayer during this time.

Hollywood is out here lying to y'all in these streets, on social media, in movies and so on. It's time the truth be spoken about sex before marriage and how believers should carry themselves in today's over sexualized world. It's time to come into a beauty and attractiveness, and a REALNESS only God can give.

Worldy desires are full of fake satisfaction, immediate gratification and the lack of God himself. How do you know where to go in life and how to achieve the right wants and desires?
