My name is Angela, I grew up in Melbourne, FL.  I was called by God, a servant to carry out His word.  In 1994, after serving for 13 years.  I was chosen by the Most High in 2007 to bring forth his word, a vessel that has been tried, tested, and proven to carry out the word of God.  In 2007, I began to preach God’s word as the Lord revealed it unto me.  As time went on I was under major attack, as the attacks increased within me and even though there was a set-back, it was only a set-up to spring forth.  I was taught how to travail in pain, how to stay in the fire until God brings you out.  How to step out of my grave clothes into a life that would deliver and set captives free, a life that will open blinded eyes and bring healing to the sick.  God has chosen me to speak a word in season to every soul that will hear.  I am anointed and appointed under the unction of the Holy Ghost to teach, evangelize, prophesy, and exhort.  I have many favorite bible scriptures but my favorite is, “You must be born again.  John 3:7 (KJV)”.  My favorite Proverb is Proverb 8, “One that speaks on wisdom which is God himself, before anything was made wisdom was”.  The Lord spoke to me while teaching in a women’s bible study, “A woman of worth” in 2002, and as I meditated on what God had given me, I am now founder of Woman of Worth International Ministries and author of the book, BORN which was inspired by the Lord.

BLIND AND DON’T

KNOW IT

B ecause God was calling…

Many times in life when we begin to make a turn for the better, deciding to live a better life, and to live for Jesus Christ, no longer my will but God’s will and trying to understand and know His ways, we oftentimes bump our head as little suckling learning how to walk. We at times fail in life and get discouraged because of failure but we cannot stay down. We have to get up again until we begin to make firmer steps and understand the process. We are still blind and do not know it, for we have the tendency to know everything when we know nothing, unless God gives the revelation, we really do not know anything. God revealed to us His way of life, teaching us how to walk in His image and likeness once we began to live for Him. At every level there is something new to be revealed that allows God to teach you by walking with Him. Let Him in your heart that He may reveal unto you the mysteries He has set beforehand in prophets of old. God wants to trust someone with His mysteries and secrets. The bible says to knock, and the door shall be open, seek and you shall find, ask and it shall be given unto you. I’m reminded of the time when I truly asked the Lord to come into my life and accepted Him as my personal savior seeking Him every day only to find that there is more to knowing God than just accepting Him as your personal savior, that’s only the beginning. Without the Holy Spirit, we are blind to the truth of His word. Praying that God brings me out of darkness into His marvelous light. Coming out of darkness, meaning I no longer see things my way I no longer need to try to figure out what His word is saying, understanding the word of God in my flesh but it is revealed unto me through the holy spirit, which is Jesus. It is as if when the light is off and it is very dark and you are not able to see, sometimes it is so dark all you can see is spots. I remember one time I was in this hotel and the sunlight was beaming in my room and the Holy Spirit said to me, you see the light shining in through the window and I said yes, He said what else do you see through that raise of light, I said all the trash and lent floating, He said that’s how it is when the light shines through your darkness, on sin. All the things you could not see, all the things you couldn’t understand, ways you didn’t know you had, times that we’re doing everything wrong but darkness made you feel it was right, when you’re blind to the tactics of the devil because you’re not filled with the Holy Spirit to recognize the enemy before he gets to you or in you. God promises to reveal your enemies afar off but how can He reveal something you cannot understand. The bible says flesh and blood has not revealed this unto me but my Father in Heaven. Without the Spirit of the Lord you will not understand the things of God nor His ways. We walk by faith and not by sight so therefore faith is spiritual, natural sight is flesh. Faith is that which is revealed in the spirit realm first and then manifest in the earth realm. The bible said we must be born again, born of the spirit. We are first born of the flesh from our mother’s womb and then as we grow and begin to understand we need God’s spirit, flesh and blood has not revealed this but the Father which is in Heaven. Nicodemus, a great teacher of the word in the bible did not understand the revelation of God’s word when Jesus said you must be born again. We never go through the womb of the flesh twice, once through the flesh then through the womb of the spirit therefore Nicodemus being a great teacher, you can be a great teacher of the Word and still not understand what you know not of. I remember sitting in church and not understanding clearly what the Pastor was speaking on, walking out of a Sunday service not understanding a word that was taught. And there are times when we should research what was taught but instead we trust in what the pastor/teacher told us and as soon as that leader fall you fall with them, meaning you become lost not knowing which way to go, start church hopping become backslidden, start cursing again, you start drinking again, you become a fornicator, or an adulteress, in other words, you start doing everything you use to do why, because you didn’t get your full deliverance. The bible says Satan goes away for a season if he finds that place empty and available he will return to that place but with the spirit of God living inside of you, the spirit will reveal whatever enemy it is that’s trying to return to live in you before he appears way far off. Whether it is the enemy of drugs, alcohol, a person, a demon of lust, the pride of life, whatever that enemy is, the spirit will reveal it before it appears. The Lord promises to show you your enemies afar how. I’m reminded of Peter when Jesus said one of you will deny me before the crock crows thrice and Peter swore he wouldn’t deny Jesus and surely as the crock crowed Peter denied Him one of His very own. I remember times when God began to reveal things unto me and me not having full understanding I would share what God would tell me whether it be a warning to the people or a blessing and after opening my mouth, I would come under major attack, blind of understanding, too blind to know that I didn’t need to share everything God shows me. There is a time and season for all things, I never understood times and seasons, I just said whatever I felt needed to be said in no timely manner. Do not be blind to the tactics of the enemy for he comes to kill, steal and destroy. Having an open eye/spiritual eye to flow in a timely manner with the Holy Spirit so when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord will lift a standard against Him.

A lot of times we do not understand our purpose for being on earth. If you are breathing, there is purpose for you on earth. Now the road you take to obtain and understand your purpose, at times is the problem. There’s a road of obedience where the bible says it is better to suffer for righteousness sake. On this road you will suffer, let us face reality, there’s suffering on this walk but the righteous suffering you will win, you are a conqueror. In righteous suffering you will birth purpose through obedience. When you’re blind to purpose, not understanding the pain within, it’s like a woman carrying a child, in the first week you’re not even pregnant yet where it’s visible you might not even feel nothing at that point you’re blind to your pregnancy because it hadn’t been revealed yet. The clock starts ticking from the first day of your last menstrual cycle. Pregnancies are forty weeks long, but you carry thirty-eight weeks. So, in the first week you do not know you are pregnant. In the second week ovulation occurs. Normally pregnancy happens one to two days before your ovulation date. In the third week you may be pregnant but have no symptoms. The fourth week…BAM!!!! Tested positive, you are pregnant. You may feel fatigue, moody, nausea, vomiting and frequent need to urinate. In the fifth week an embryo is formed about the size of a grain of sand the heart is pumping blood and organs are developing by six weeks you are feeling pregnant. In the seventh week the embryo doubled in size, still less than a half inch long. As pregnancy hormones increase you may experience morning sickness and be very moody. Eighth week brainwave activity begins lungs, eyes, ears, upper lip, nose, finger and toes begin to form. In the tenth week the baby is now a fetus and an unborn offspring before it is born. Purpose within pain is compared to a woman having a baby in the early stages we are blind to what is really going on inside not fully understanding the purpose within. We began to search because the body is going through an unusual change and experiencing something it has never experienced before. Purpose is surrounded by much pain but inside your purpose there is a sack of fluids to protect your purpose until the appointed time. So, what do we do mothers until purpose is revealed? We nurture by feeding our purpose: vitamin, nutrients, healthy foods. We protect our purpose from any harm once we realize we have purpose on the inside. Did not say it would be an easy delivery but with exercise and healthy eating it will ease some of the pain in the process. As so it is in the spiritual realm. Your purpose is your baby. Blind and do not know it, I am here to let you know your purpose needs to be protected. You say how do I protect my purpose? First, you must recognize and understand there is purpose within you even though it is not yet clear, begin by reading God’s word. The bible says to study to show thyself approved. In order to even find your purpose or to know what it is, studying the word is a must. Seek the Lord while He may be found. Seek and ye shall find, ask and it shall be given unto you, knock and the door shall be open. Nurture your purpose with the word of God. Prayer… when we pray, we cover and protect what is on the inside. Praying always with prayer and supplication. The bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Men should always pray. Feed your purpose the necessary nutrients needed for when the time comes for delivery, as
