God is not my "Paperclip"

A few nights ago, I was looking through some of the old stuff that I had written. I was just going to use most of the “old stuff” to prepare something new and take the easy way out of things, instead of having to write a new presentation all over again. While going through some old paperwork, I heard Him say
“Tiffany, I wasn’t meant to be a “paperclip, and neither is your deliverance “ And immediately I was like “Huh, where did that come from”

It never ceases to amaze me how God will take the simplest and smallest things in life and use them to give me such a huge and powerful understanding of who he is.
Often when God chooses to speak to me with things of this sort, I don’t rest well until I seek Him for complete understanding. So although I may not just have the full understanding of this as of yet, here is what I have learned so far.

Recently I was dealing with a Heart issue of mine, I knew that it was time to let go but I wasn’t quite ready to let it go. During this time I began to tell myself that the reason I couldn’t let it go is because I didn’t know how to let it go and that I needed GOD to show me HOW to let it go.

Sometimes we tend to hold on to things even after our time has expired. That’s where the paperclip came into play. When we put papers in a paperclip it is to keep them together so that we can come back to them with little efforts and not having lost the “important pieces” so to speak. We hold on to things even when they are no longer necessary or detrimental to our growth. In fact some things that we tend to keep in our “Paperclips” be it mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and especially physically, or only there as a way for us to return to and hold on to things of our past.

We must be able to recognize the things that are not prospering toward the purpose of God in our lives and be willing to deal with them. I have realized that those things that I once held in my “Paperclips” were not needed to be held close to me anymore. I even began to think back on a relationship, that needed to be let go but I couldn’t let it go because I still held the remnants of it in my personal “paperclips”. God has already given us the ability to let it go we just chose to place those things in “paperclips” so that we can go back to them whenever.

It does not take faith to get things out of your life that are not close to you, but it is hard to speak to the mountain when you are in love with it.

Sometimes it is hard to see obstacles that stand between us and God when we have soul ties with them…BUT… God can anoint a thing and then command us to move on from it.

Neither is my deliverance meant to be a “PAPERCLIP”
God has shown me the things that I needed to do, and once I have gone through them it would be robbery to keep these things all to myself. I can’t keep my deliverance to myself. I have to tell you what I went thru and How I went thru it because it can be helpful to you. Today I vow to get rid of all my unnecessary “paperclips”. God can not be conformed to a “paperclip” Take God out of your box and and watch Him give you an “out of the this world experience.
I’m tired of having an ordinary experience with an extraordinary God. If He is a supernatural God than why do we become satisfied with natural things instead of expecting supernatural results.

The Lesson of the Tree

*The Lesson of the Tree*

My Niece was given a research assignment on the growth and development of the roots of a tree. So as I began to help her look up some things for this topic, I became very interested in the entire process and decided to continue the study even further. I pray that what I learned will bless you just as I was.

Sometimes as we go through things in life, we become so focused on our situations we sometimes feel like no one understands what we are going through. We began to treat our situation as if “It is the first time it ever took place in history.” We act as if no one has ever been through what we are going through. And our first reaction to our circumstance is to separate ourselves and stay to ourselves. We chose to go through things alone because in our minds no one understands. I too am guilty of this, but what I just learned just changed my whole perspective on things.

In Ecclesiastes 3:1 & 15- says to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven: For that which has been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. This basically says that what has already happened before, is now, and what is to come has already been, but it is required by God. Now what does this have to do with a tree?

Ecologists tell us that a tree planted in a clearing of an old forest will grow more successfully than one planted in a new open field. The reason, it seems, is that the roots of the forest tree are able to follow the intricate pathways created by former trees (think about co-pastors X-men) and thus embed themselves more deeply. Indeed, over time, the roots of many may actually graft themselves to one another, creating an interdependent mat of life hidden beneath the earth. Not Independent, not alone. This literally enables the stronger trees to share resources with the weaker so the whole forest becomes healthier. Using our eXperiences to help the weaker so that we all can remain spiritually healthy.

Similarly, human beings thrive best when we grow in the presence of those who have gone before. Our roots may not follow every available pathway, but we are able to become more fully ourselves because of the presence of others, and their eXperiences. “I am who I am because we are,” goes the saying. I always wondered why many times in the bible…God always reminded His people of things that once were or had been by always saying “just like I swore unto your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” He was basically reminding them…the same thing I promised Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when they went thru it, is the same promise that I have for you now that you are going through. What you’re going through is not the first time it ever took place in history. But you have to go through it because there are others who will come behind you who are depending on your path for guidance.

Spiritually our life is like that of a tree and its roots. Our salvation is the trunk of the tree. Our life is the roots. We must choose to allow our roots to follow the direction that God has already predestined for our life, thus allowing our roots to follow paths that were already walked before us. Go through some things that others have already been through as well, so that those behind us will be able to go through them too. Knowing that they are not alone and therefore keeping our forest healthy. We are a forest; we need each other to survive.
No matter what we go through within our forest, we must hold on to the life lesson of the gardener. For every gardener knows that after the digging, after the planting, after the long season of tending and growth, the harvest comes. After the hurts, the heartaches, the abuse, or whatever it was that may have happened in our past or that we may be going through at this particular moment…we can take hope in knowing that what’s to come is better than what’s been. For in due season we shall reap if we faint not.
What are we reaping? A healthy forest.

Today I encourage you to tend to your forest. Don’t let your trees die because you want to be in seclusion. Others are counting on you. They need you and your eXperiences to help them get through, so that they’ll be able to help others behind them go through.

IF you’re trying to do it alone…if you think you can make it spiritually by separating yourself when you go through, then your forest will become unhealthy.

KEEP YOUR FOREST HEALTHY…SOMEONE IS DEPENDING ON YOU TO SURVIVE!!!

LoVe ya’ll

My Dearest Child

Good morning my beloved!

I saw you when you woke this morning. I smiled with expectation because I have so many blessings lined up you for on today. You met me this morning in that secret place and I was able to make love to you there. We laughed and we cried. You shared with me your deepest concerns, and I touched you and that concern went away. I love it when you let me into the deep places of your heart. I love it when just rest in my arms.


As I kissed you today I released endurance to stand against your enemy. As I held your hands I released healing and prosperity. As I rubbed your head I released a peace and I washed away the memories of yesterday. As I massaged your back I released strength to stand. As I rubbed your feet I anointed them with oil and I released the ability to run your race.

I have need of you today... so go and do not forget my touch.. do not forget my embrace.. think on it and it will help you today. There is another than longs to be your lover, but his love is temporary and my love is forever!
