It Takes an Act of Faith in God

December 17th, 2011

5-6By an act of faith, Enoch skipped death completely. “They looked all over and couldn’t find him because God had taken him.” We know on the basis of reliable testimony that before he was taken “he pleased God.” It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him. Hebrews 11:5-6

Beloved, Enoch is just one example of the favor one obtains, from pleasing God! This scripture is so powerful, because it reveals to us the secret of the Kingdom to obtaining the favor of God.

Beloved, it appears from these reliable testimonies, that it is a simple matter of believing that God exist, and He cares enough to respond to those who seek God with their whole heart.  I hear all the questions just bubbling up inside of us.

Sister Betty, why aren’t God’s children living a more victorious life?  Why is there such lack (lack of finances, lack of spiritual growth, lack of jobs, etc.) among the children of God?  Why is it that we are living so beneath the privileges and the power which God has impart into His children.  As many who will search themselves, already know the answer to these questions is just as varied.

Beloved, I will only add that we have allowed the cares of this world on an individual basis, to overshadow our faith that God is who He say He is. Because now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1).  Too many times, we say, I can not see it.

Beloved, as it is written, anyone who wants to approach God, he must first believe that God exist and He cares enough to respond to those who diligently seek after him.

Beloved that seeking can look like anything from praying, fasting, studying the God to show ourselves approved before God, to listening to know God’s voice to be loyal and faithful to His calling.  But as it is written, without first believing that God is real and He is concerned about everything that concerns us; we can not, and we will not do any of these things.

Beloved, know without a doubt that God does exist and He exist inside of everyone of His children, and you must know it and you can know it. You just have to love Him more than you love this world and we must with His help, make Him a priority and spent some time experiencing Him in our prayer life and in His Word.  We can not know Him if we do not take time to study His Word.

Sister Betty, Who desires to love God with all my strength, my soul and mind, with all my heart, please father, circumcise my heart do it for me right now Father, in Jesus name. Amen

The Solution to the law of Sin and Death: Is a Life Lived on God’s Terms

November 20th, 2011

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, [a] who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8: 1-2

18He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation--he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ's name.] John 3:18

Beloved, it is written, with the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.

Beloved, those who walk after the Spirit, is secure in Christ Jesus. We no longer have to concern ourselves with being condemned with the world. Our faith in The Christ, have secured our position in eternal life.  Our Heavenly Father might have to chasten us now and then for our own sake! But God’s Word is true, he that believes in the Son of God, who clings to, trusts in and relies on Jesus, is not judged.  No condemnation-he incurs no damnation. (John 3:18)

Beloved, I urgent you this day, let us go on to mind the things of the Spirit, the favor of God, the welfare of the soul, the concerns of eternity.  A sanctified soul beloved, is a living soul; and the life that is lived on God’s terms is peaceful. God is Love, and we must love one another. We must love God will all our being, He must be more real to us, than our necessary air that we breathe.

Sister Betty, Seeking to know God more perfectly, on His terms.

This is the Confidence that We Have: If it is His will, we can have it!

October 15th, 2011

13-15My purpose in writing is simply this: that you who believe in God’s Son will know beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life, the reality and not the illusion. And how bold and free we then become in his presence, freely asking according to his will, sure that he’s listening. And if we’re confident that he’s listening, we know that what we’ve asked for is as good as ours.

1 John 5:13-15

Beloved, for those of us who have entered into relationship with the true and living God in whom we love, serve and believe, it does not get any better than this!

Beloved, there is nothing biblical that is holding back the things we ask of God according to His will: We should all be shouting at the top of our voices than we must not be sure that He is listening to us, we must not have confident that He is listening and therefore, I must change my concept of what is the will of God for me. How do I do that?

Beloved, we must first get into His word, in His Word; we will discover what the will of God concerning us is.  Everything that Jesus achieved while he was on this earth was already written in His Word. Jesus would say, it is written.

Beloved, than it behooves us to seek to know what is written in His Word concerning what we His children have petitioned Him for.  When you find it, declare it and have confidence that God is listening to hear when our faith agrees with His word, so He can gladly give it to us; even the Kingdom that we have received by believing in God’s Son that we have eternal life.

Sister Betty,

I believe & agree with what God has written in His Word, is His Will for Me: Therefore, I have confidence that what I have asked for is good as mind!

No Matter What: God Gets the Last Word

September 21st, 2011

6-7So be content with who you are, and don’t put on airs. God’s strong hand is on you; he’ll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before God; he is most careful with you.

8-11Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You’re not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It’s the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.

I Peter 5:6-11

Beloved children of the Most High God, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in times like these, you need to stay true to who you are in Christ. You must not put on airs or live a life of reacting to people or your circumstances. In times like these, we will have to give some folks passes to shines as much as they want, without losing our humanity. For we know that humanity maintain peace and Godly order; while pride brings a reproach upon Christian churches, and societies. How you might ask, by trying to obtain gratification and ambition from what the world calls success.

Beloved, this passage of scripture, is admonishing the children of God to be humble and subject to our God, in doing so, He will provide us much more comfort to the soul than you can get from gratification and ambition. God desires that we cast our cares on him and live a carefree existence, declaring what His word says about us, over us, praying and waiting on His response; not pretending that we “got this” and we don’t need nobody’s help. God desires to give us His wisdom, faith and holiness, he desires our loyalty, He wants us to wait on His timing and not on our timing.

Beloved, no matter what, God gets the last word; what difficulties that you know that can stand against the firm belief of his wisdom, power and goodness provides, when His hands is upon us? If you answered as I did, I just know you said, NONE! Okay, than let us humble ourselves under His hands, let us cast all cares; personal care, family care, cares for the present, and cares for the future, cares for others, cares for the church on God.

Beloved, Matthew Henry, commentator says it so eloquent what our duty is to be while we wait on the Lord. He said,” Our duty plainly is, to be sober; to govern both the outward and the inward man by the rules of temperance. To be vigilant; suspicious of constant danger from this spiritual enemy, watchful and diligent to prevent his designs. Be steadfast, or solid, by faith. A man cannot fight upon a quagmire, there is no standing without firm ground to tread upon; this faith alone furnishes. It lifts the soul to the firm advanced ground of the promises, and fixes it there.” Amen!

Sister Betty, God said it, and that settles it!

The Dating Equation

August 15th, 2011

LESS than 4 – is the number of relationships I’ve been in.

ONE –is the number of times I’ve been in love.

ZERO –is the number of people I’ve had sex with in my life.

The sum total of my point: I’m not casual, fickle or flakey when it comes whom I share my time with. I don’t jump from relationship to relationship. I don’t randomly select people according to some list and begin weeding through suitors. And I don’t look at every man I meet as a potential spouse.

Because of the nature of my call, I have a large number of single friends. And because of that I always seem to come across those who like to “hypothesize.” Whenever someone sees me speaking with a brother, I automatically get the “Is that your Boaz?” line of questioning. And then don’t let me have the nerve to be supporting one of my homeboy’s visions, rallying behind his cause or just hanging out with a buddy. People immediately go into “Chuck Woolery” mode. Yet, RARELY does anyone ever bother to straight out ASK if I’m courting OR better yet, if I’m even remotely interested in the person I’m ASSumed to be courting with. It’s as if everyone around me is waiting to see who will be the man that “Nikki the Virgin” allows to capture her heart…and yes, I just wrote about myself in third person –don’t judge me.

Seriously though, there are few things worse than being casual with our hearts. And fewer things worse than being in the midst of a relationship that has you emotionally invested but God’s not in. I’ve been there. It sucks. But what I’ve learned is this: it’s better to commit to what God ordains than ask God to ordain what we’ve committed to.

So, over a year ago I made the choice not to court. It’s been interesting too… I would come across various men all feeling as if they had what it took to cause me to break weak, but no. See, I’ve often said being single is not so much about what we have the ability to have and more about where God has us. Real talk, if it were just about a relationship, that could easily be remedied, but no. It’s bigger than that…

This last season of my life has been a season of transition. From my occupation, to my ministry obligations, to businesses, to internally, no area of life has been left untouched. When God spoke to me and told me I was entering a season of shifting, wisdom said it was better to abstain from courting rather than introduce a new thing to a place that was experiencing so many changes. And although I would love to play it cool and say it was easy, it wasn’t. Honestly, it was difficult saying I was “unavailable” or “off the market” but not able to share with them what that really meant. Yet at the end of the day, I valued my brother’s hearts enough to decline advances, rather than trying to entertain something God never gave His blessing on.

The lesson: In all our courting let us be led.

Ladies, don’t be afraid to take your time. If “he” really desires to be with you, he’ll wait and allow God to finish working in you. And if he doesn’t, he’ll move on. Either way it’s all good. And brothers don’t play games. Purpose to court according to the will of God for your life, not what you think is best in the moment. And let everyone be made better because we all courted responsibly. And all who agreed said, “I know that’s right, Nikki!!!”

So, that’s all.

I’m finally at a place where my transitional season is done. So with that I’m asking God to show me the hearts of the people who present themselves to me and what roles they’re to play in my life, if any. I’m asking Him to help me discern intentions. I’m letting Him prepare me mind, body and soul for the future relationship HE’S ordained for me. That at HIS leading, I might share my heart with “The one” He’s purposed for me…

And that’s just where I am with it…

Why Do You Look Down on Your Brother?

July 15th, 2011

Romans 14:10-12 (The Message)

10-12So where does that leave you when you criticize a brother? And where does that leave you when you condescend to a sister? I’d say it leaves you looking pretty silly—or worse. Eventually, we’re all going to end up kneeling side by side in the place of judgment, facing God. Your critical and condescending ways aren’t going to improve your position there one bit. Read it for yourself in Scripture:

“As I live and breathe,” God says,
“every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will tell the honest truth
that I and only I am God.”
So tend to your knitting. You’ve got your hands full just taking care of your own life before God.

This scripture resonated with me and brought back the verses to a song the Williams Brothers  sing.  It went something like…”the only time you down on a brother is when you are picking him up”.

Beloved, it is so easy to be critical of others folks that do not act or look the way we feel a Christian should look and act.  If we are not careful, we will start to measure another by our standards and not by God’s.  If we are not careful, we will place burden on folks that we ourselves are unable to carry and God would not think of placing on our backs.

Beloved, when we see people practicing sin, don’t kill them; but with loving kindness, let us lift Jesus up by allowing them to see the Love of the Father in us.  Be an example of Christ in us, the hope of Glory! Hate and despise the sin and shame it brings upon the brother, for heaven sake, don’t hate the brother.

Beloved, it is not ONLY the easy targets like abortion, homosexuality, adultery…you know, these open sins, that concerns God and causes him to grieve. What about the broken marriage vows? What about the as for me and my house? What about come out from among them and be separated? What about having relationship with the ungodly thing?  What about giving God the first of all your substance…you know, the tithing thing?

Beloved, it is written, that we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God.  It is written, as I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God. {Isa.45: 23}. And so each of us shall give an account of himself to God.

Beloved, as the Word says above, let us tend to making sure that we are not found wanting in that dreadful Day of Judgment!  Let us be a builder up of the brethren, Let us love one another and exhort one another to do that which is pleasing in the sight of the Lord. For in the end, we will answer to God alone.

Sister Betty, In Christ, the Hope of Glory!

An Inside Job

July 8th, 2011

I read a quote the other day that said, “My prayer is that the church will be a place where people belong…long before they behave.” –J. Smith.

When I read it, it immediately resonated with me for two reasons: 1) Because of who I am. 2) Because of where I’ve been…

Although I’ve had my share of trials, temptations and test, for the most part my life has been pretty straightforward. When I re-dedicated my life to God at 18 yrs-old, I made it my mission to live “upright” to the best of my ability…and in that last statement alone was the error in my thinking. Trying to live and do in MY ability instead of His. In retrospect, what I thought was righteousness, was pride at best. I prided myself on the fact that I wasn’t a “rule breaker.” That I’d never drank, had sex, smoked or did drugs. It gave me some sense of achievement to say I worked diligently in ministry. Yet over the years, I would become so consumed with following a list of rules, I would miss the heart of God in so many other key areas.

So often we think salvation is about maintaining rules that we never take time to look beyond legalism and into the heart. And for me, it wouldn’t be until God began the internal work that I would soon discover although I wasn’t always wrong, I wasn’t totally right either. Which meant in the end…I was still wrong… See I believe if we’re honest with ourselves, ALL can admit there have been things we have said or done SINCE we’ve been saved that weren’t pleasing to God. And I believe God is calling for a transparent church. I also believe that in order to experience the grace of God, we have to first acknowledge we need His grace.

Lord knows I did…and still do…

I know we never hear leaders admit fault, but no. No, I need Him every hour. Really, what good is my obedience if it’s performed out of legalism rather than love? Who can I bless with the Truth of His Word if I’m continually presenting the truth with judgmental undertones? And how will I ever be a light in those dark places if I take on the “spiritual elitist” mentality of not associating with those whom “The Church” deems unchangeable…

See, at the end of the day I don’t want to be a hypocrite. And long gone are the days of pointing the finger at people who don’t meet our “acceptable sin” standard yet never dealing with our own character flaws. Long gone are the days of privately condoning the sins of our friends yet openly throwing rocks at others that operate in the same offense. And no more are the days of excusing the sins of people with talent or notoriety yet disassociating ourselves from the ones who aren’t on our “VIP” list or meet our man-made morality meter.

And trust. In sharing with you, I first speak to me. See, along my journey what I discovered was although I desired to please God, my ways weren’t always God honoring. I needed to learn how to value people in a greater way. I needed to learn a deeper level of humility. I needed to grow in grace, love and patience.

I discovered that right motives with wrong methods never equal right results. Really, it doesn’t matter how correct we are, if the presentation isn’t palatable it’s unlikely to be received. And I share with you some of my transparent truths in the hopes that someone doesn’t make the same mistakes I made…

That’s all.

I can’t speak for anyone else but to the heart of me, I just want to please God. I want to live a life that points to The Cross. Yet what I discovered is I can’t do that if I first don’t learn to examine the truth of my shortcomings, repent and allow God to correct me. It’s like I once heard someone preach, “Dangerous is the leader without a mirror.” In short, we as leaders have to be able to see ourselves and allow the Truth of His Word to correct us that WE might strive to do better and be better. And I refuse to live all my life in church and then die and go to hell because I wouldn’t allow God to have His perfect work in me. No, when all is said and done, it won’t be said that I was perfect, but it will be known that I loved the Lord with all my heart and strived to live a life that pleased Him.

So, with that I thank God for His grace. I thank Him that when we admit our faults, He is faithful and just to forgive us. But most of all I thank God for the old me. Without her, how would I ever be able to tell a dying world of God’s conversion power? Selah…

Keep growing…

Nikki Washington

Let Us Love Our Children The Way That God Loves His

July 1st, 2011

My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God.

My dear, dear friends, if God loved us like this, we certainly ought to love each other. No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another, God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us—perfect love!

This is how we know we’re living steadily and deeply in him, and he in us: He’s given us life from his life, from his very own Spirit. Also, we’ve seen for ourselves and continue to state openly that the Father sent his Son as Savior of the world. Everyone who confesses that Jesus is God’s Son participates continuously in an intimate relationship with God. We know it so well, we’ve embraced it heart and soul; this love that comes from God.

To Love, to Be Loved

God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and matures in us, so that we’re free of worry on Judgment Day—our standing in the world is identical with Christ’s. There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life—fear of death, fear of judgment—is one not yet fully formed in love.

I John 4:7 -18

Beloved, these scriptures have resonated in my life more than ever lately.  Although I have never given birth to any children biologically, I have godsons and daughters that I love so dearly, that at time I lose sight of this fact.   I have always enjoyed the honor of being called god mother by these little darlings, whose smiles and every little pronouncement, “I love you godmother”, just made me melt.  The love that I have for each of them had such power over me, that I found myself getting out of my bed in the middle of the night, driving in the snow because one of them had summonned me,” I want my God Mother!”  Any one who knows me is probably saying (for me to get out at night driving in itself).. it’s like it is not going to happen! But to hear of me going out into the dark night when there is snow involved, people would not recognize me,  and they would probably ask, Betty Who?

What does all this have to do with God is Love?

Lately, beloved, these little darlings are now teens and young adults, going through growing pains and the real life deal.  We knew that it was always the possibility that life would present them with some challenges, but for some reason, you just do not seem to engage how impactful it can be on you.  I was amazed that these little of bundles of joy, can become so deviant, can become so unfit for society that it leaves you scratching your head saying “They did what?”.

So I had to pull out my word and bring to my remembering that I was really acting ugly too, when God gave His only begotten Son in response for His love for me.  So beloved, I had to encourage mother and myself, to let us move pass the actions of our children, and to remember that the Father has sent His Son to save them too.

Therefore, let our first response be that of love and concern, and let us be longsuffering as our Heavenly Father is toward us. When they say “What are we to do about the behavior?”, I say, let us love the children and hate the sin.  Let us set the boundaries and let them know that we refuse to allow the devil to kill, steal, and destroy them.  We will seek godly counsel from God’s word and from God Himself and those He sent to help us.  But we will let our beloved know, that we will not give up on them and we will try our best to convince them to not to give up on themselves.

Beloved, we decided to move pass the fear by not allowing the behaviors that were being put on display to have all the power.  But we will show them by our love them, by the love God has imparted in our hearts, by insisting that Satan’s stronghold must be lose in Jesus Name.  We will ensure that our children will have enough information about what they are choosing…when they wanted to hang out with Satan and do his deeds.   And we will do this by Proverbs 3: 5, 6.  By trusting in the Lord with all our hearts and by not leaning to our own understanding, but by acknowledging the Lord in this matter through prayer and supplication, and listening to hear His directions; and applying to the circumstances as God directs our path.

Beloved, we must never withdraw our love from our children when they appear to be unlovable.  Perhaps, this is when they need our love the most. But understand this clearly, it does not mean that you have to agree with the behavior or accept it.  It just means that the love of God has constrained us to do it the way He did it for us; By never giving up on our children & giving them over to the devil. Fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For it is by His loving kindness  thatHe has drawn us away from our practicing sins.  For we all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.

The Love Connection

June 13th, 2011

From UNsolicited dating advice, to UNsolicited “hook-up” suggestions. From people trying to introduce me to their sons, brothers and friends, I get it all. And that’s just scratching the surface. Real talk, if I had a penny for every time someone tried to push me into a relationship, I’d take those pennies, put them in a sock and BEAT the person trying to hook me up, lol. Okay, I’m joking. Although I understand the sincerity behind the actions, RARELY do I have someone actually ASK me what I want. No, most just assume…

Because I don’t really discuss my personal life most assume I’m either on the verge of eloping or one step away from joining a convent, lol. And I get it. People are curious. But here’s the thing, I just don’t view relationships like most do. And because I don’t, I’m not quick to dive into anything casually. Really, if it were just about a marriage, I could’ve married already. No, to me it’s about more that. And I don’t believe we can just cover our eyes, throw a dart and that’s all there is to it. I don’t believe we should date haphazardly. And ultimately, I believe marriage is a call, not simply a choice.

And I know I sound old-fashioned but I still believe God is better at matchmaking than we could ever be. I believe He sees what we can’t, knows what we don’t and can discern beyond our comprehension. And, I can soberly say in CHOOSING not to be casual with who I share my time with, God has preserved me in ways I never thought possible. Truly, you can’t buy this kind of peace. It’s amazing.  And at the end of the day, I’d rather operate in caution now then end up with a man-made mess later. It’s with that in mind that I’m allowing GOD to govern my courting decisions rather than flesh.

And, that’s just where I am with it.

Thanks to all of those who always show concern. It’s partially appreciated, lol. Seriously, know that when I finally do CHOOSE to give someone my unwavering “yes” it won’t be because I followed a trend or the advice of some person who barely knows me. It won’t be because I settled. It won’t even be because I met someone who appeared to be what I needed. No, when I marry it will be because my spirit will bear witness to an agreement that was made long before I knew “him.” It will be because whoever my him is had the fortitude and patience it took to learn me, court me AND win me. And when I meet him, I won’t have to study him and wonder, “…is he him?”….no, there will just be a discerning. An assessing. And a knowing…

And it is so.

Fortunate to Be Envied is the Man Who Trusts in The Lord

May 2nd, 2011

Psalm 84: 11-12

11For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [presents] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)!  No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

    12O Lord of hosts, blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts in You [leaning and believing on You, committing all and confidently looking to You, and that without fear or misgiving]!

Beloved it is an awesome place to be found in Christ our Lord!  It is such a place of grace and favor; that when we come into the presence of the Almighty God, it should be our desire and request that He would look upon the Christ, The Anointed one of God and bestow His grace and favor and glory upon us for Christ’s sake.

Beloved, when we walk in the footsteps of Christ and do those things that are right in His sight, then God will recognize the Christ in us, and He promised not to withhold no good thing from us!

Beloved, if God be our God, he will be to us a Sun, to enlighten and enliven us, to guide and direct us.  In this present world, we face many dangers, but have faith in the Living God, he will be to us a Shield, to secure us from the fiery darts that come to kill, steal and destroy us. When men see the peace of God abiding in us, in spite of our trials and tribulations, we are to be envied by man. We give God the glory, because as it is written, the Lord, our God is our Sun and Shield. It is He that shines in our darkest of places and protects us from all the darts the enemy shoots our way. Beloved, God’s Glory is His goodness toward us! It gives us that “perfect peace” that passes all understanding. That is why the Psalmist says, “O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You.”  It is the believer’s pleasure to be made into the image of the Christ, the Anointed One of God, and looking with great expectation to live in His presence forever.  Therefore, let us continue this journey walking uprightly; and trusting in God to give us those things which is good for us.

Sister Betty, Praise His Holy Name!
