Who is Real

As I return from my recent trip to Louisiana to put my mother to rest, I found myself reflecting on many things.  My mother was a woman full of beauty.  She walked in the fruits of the spirit which are love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, longsuffering and self-control.  I wasn’t raised by my mother but I saw her fruits and came to know her as a woman of integrity, honor and wisdom.  I saw her fruits from afar.  She was the real deal.  She didn’t pretend or lie.  Her yea was yea and her ne was ne.  A person knew whom they were dealing with.  What you saw is what you got. 

As time as elapsed, things have changed.  It’s so hard now a day’s to know who is real or what is real.  Jeremiah 7:10 reads “ The heart of man is desperately wicked and who can know it except for God.”  I find this to be true.  Praise God that everything Hidden will be revealed.  God sees everything.  He knows our true fruits.  A person is defined by their fruits.  They can say many things, but in the end it’s action that portrays their fruit.
 
I pray that we will seek the fruits of the spirit and let God be the head of our lives.  As we learn to surrender our will daily to the almighty God, the fruits of the spirit will become evident in our lives.  When we walk in the fruits of the spirit, no lie or tongue raised against us will prevail.  Let our light so shine, so that the whole world may see and be drawn to our heavenly father which is heaven. 

Many blessings.

2011 Thanksgiving Prayer & Poem




There's more to thanksgiving than eating turkey and stuffing once a year.  Everyday we wake up is a day to be thankful.   Jesus washed the feet of His disciples prior to His crucifixion.  This was a sign of love and humility.  Jesus death brought life to all of us.  His blood was offered as atonement for our sins; by His blood our minds, bodies and souls are nourished.  His blood makes us whole for His glory.  In all things let us count it all joy rejoicing at the sacrificial offering that was given to us through the precious blood of Jesus Christ. 
Let everyday be a day of thanksgiving.
As we open up our hearts and minds today to the realization that Christ died for our sins, let us rejoice in the goodness of this day.  This is the day the Lord has made.  A day to be thankful for everything around us.  Let us examine ourselves as God examines us so that we can be all that we are called to be.  Let our light so shined that the whole world will see.  Let us be thankful for this day and all that may come.  We rejoice in the fact that we have been blessed with another day of mercy, grace, forgiveness, redemption, salvation, deliverance and love abides.  Let us walk in love this day.

Where is God? Dale Birdsong Anointed Gifts

I count it all joy to share the love of God with the world; however, I am learning that not everyone feels the same way I do about God.   The joy of the Lord is my strength.  I can honestly say that this is the truth.  I don't have any control over the emotions or feelings of other people; I have no desire to have control over them.  The circumstances and testimonies I share are my own.  My life hasn't been a bowl of cherries with whip cream on the top.  Through it all I still count it all joy to know that without God I would be dead.  God's grace and mercy is why I am able to write about His unconditional love not only for me but for all His creations. 


Have you ever felt that you were alone with no one to call on?  I was fortunate enough to be raised in a home that stood on the word of God.  I didn't always understand it, but I knew He was real.  It wasn't until later in my life that I began to really desire to know Him more.  I wanted to have a personal relationship with Him.  He was always there.  It was His voice that I heard when I was in trouble and needed help.  He would whisper to me what to do.  I would do it and things worked out.  The stories are too numerous to write in this blog, but I can honestly say once again like it states in Jeremiah 33:3 "Call upon me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things you do not know."
Over the years, I called on Him for many things; He was faithful to His word.  I didn't always get the answer I wanted but it was what I needed.  There were times when I didn't understand why I didn't get what I asked for.  I understand now.  I learned that God knows what is best for my life. 


Life is full of trials and tribulations;that's for sure.  God in His infinite wisdom was humble and allowed us to have free will.  He never forces Himself on anyone.  It is a choice.  He even gave the angels free will.  That is evident in Lucifer making a choice to seek His own glory rather than continue giving glory to God.  I choose to serve the Lord with all my heart, mine and soul.  It is truly the greatest choice I have ever made in my life.  I'm an imperfect human being that needs God; I need Him every second of the day.  I'm not afraid to share my love for Him, but more importantly His love for all of us. 


Attached to this short blog is one of many inspirational writings that were written to glorify God.  It is from my book From the Mountaintop Of God's Love Theses Verses Flow.  "Everywhere I look."


I pray that it will bless anyone that reads or shares it with a touch of our loving God.  He created heaven and earth.  He created us.  What choice are you making today?  Look around you.  God's beauty is everywhere.

How single mom of three kept her house out of foreclosure & received a reduced payment while unemployed

Learn how to keep your house out of foreclosure and get a reduce mortgage in recession.  Sound biblical principals that worked for this single laid off corporate mom.

How does this story begin?  Like any other person in America, I suppose.  I graduated from college many years ago, landed dream jobs, (ok just kidding).  They weren’t dream jobs, but they were good jobs with good pay and people that I loved working with.  Yes there was drama, fatigue, the normal stuff you go through on some jobs, but there was also freedom, honesty, favor and also a lot of spiritual war fare.  However, through it all God took care of me.

Twenty-five years later, I got the pink slip or so to say from Corporate America, but not from God.  My work for the Lord is evolving in ways I could have never imagined. I’m now a Reverend.  I’m happier than I have ever been pursuing my passion with the Lord at the helm of my ship. 

Are you unemployed now?  What are your ambitions?  How long have you been working?  Are you a recent college graduate?  Are you use to the six figure income and are now being offered commission jobs, or lower wages for your experience?  Does it seem as if the world has gone mad?  

Sometimes, I feel as if the world has gone mad.  I see so many lower paying jobs, yet for some reason the cost of living continues to rise.  Go figure.  What is this all about?   

What are you doing to keep your head above water or so to say in this day and age?

 Sign on to my website at www.anointedgifts.net and find out how this single mom of three tall giant sons kept her house out of foreclosure and received a reduced mortgage while unemployed.  Glory to God!

I shared a part of my testimony of how God has met all of my needs during this period of transition. I thank God for the opportunity to glorify Him. This isn’t about me. It never was.

I call on Him and He never fails to answer. He hears our prayers. He is a loving and forgiving God. We make choices everyday. I choose to serve the Lord. I wouldn’t have it any other way. To God be the glory for ever and ever. All things are possible to those that have faith to believe that God is God. With God all things are possible. “Matthew 19:26”. Trust, Obey and keep the faith.

Ordination Services for Dale Birdsong & Personal Testimony ~ God Provides.

Hello,


It is with great enthusiasm and praise to God, that I make the announcement that I will be officially ordained to minister and do what I love more than anything in this world; Glorify our heavenly father. If I didn’t have God, my life would be totally empty and unfulfilled.


It has been a little over one year since I was laid off of my corporate job after working close to twenty-five years non stop and raising three sons as a single parent; however, we know with God I was never a single parent. He truly is a father to the fatherless. I am also thankful that after teaching my sons to always pray for their natural father and love him no matter what, that he is doing well and has a wonderful relationship with his sons. It is so important to let go and let God without holding unto bitterness, unforgiveness and anger. God can’t use us when we harbor those feelings. Jesus forgives us each day; so who are we not to forgive? Praise God for the gift of forgiveness.


Doing the past year, the Lord has provided for me and my sons supernaturally. I thank God for everyday, because each day that I live I learn to trust Him more and more, not depending on natural circumstances but depending on Him and His word which never returns back void. God is real and loves us so much. There will never be a love like His. I have learned that material things come and go, fame is for a little while, people will desert you from time to time, but God will never leave you. Many people get caught up into their own cares, some striving to be the next best thing by impressing those around them, but never really stepping outside of their box. I’m so glad that God is not in a box. I’m thankful for a closer walk with God; I’m thankful I have truly learned what it means to depend on God without a job, a physical husband, or going to family and friends for hand outs. Don’t get me wrong, I have wonderful people in my life that are there for me; however, God had other plans. This was all about Him. God gets the glory in everything. I trust God for provision. I trust God for health. I trust God for everything. I called upon Him and He showed up every time. He did it in such a way, that the only possible solution was “it was God.” I can’t say it hasn’t been challenging, because it has been. I can say it has been one of the most rewarding years of my life. Praise God. Matthew 19:26 states that “Jesus looked at men and said with men these things are not possible but with God all things are possible.”


Before, I was laid off my Job. I heard the Lord say “my cup would not go bare and my well would not run dry, that he was doing a new thing, so that His chosen could declare His praise; next I heard the scripture Isaiah 43: 19-21. Once I read that, I knew the lay off wasn’t about me, it was about Him. I say tonight, that God is real, His word does not return back void, He sent His only begotten son that whomsoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. God told me to continue sowing into His kingdom and trust Him for provision. I obeyed God and I continue to obey Him. God has not failed me, nor my sons. My cup has not gone bare. People don’t always come through; that’s life. God always come through; that’s His word. Jeremiah 33:3 “call upon the Lord and He will answer you and show you great and many things that you do not know.” I called upon the Lord. He heard my voice and showed me many things that I didn’t know. I live because of God. I count it all joy to start this new life with the Lord. Praise to our Lord and Savior. Thank you Jesus.


Please accept this as an invitation to the services which will be held on Friday, September 23, 2011 at Leaves of Healing Tabernacle, 9420 Lurline Ave, Unit D, Chatsworth, CA 91311 @ 7:30 PM ministered by Pastor Lorraine D. Coconato. The church is off of Plummer & Lurline located in the back a few street lights down from the Northridge mall.


I look forward to seeing you as I start this new chapter in my life. With God all things are possible. God bless you and thanks for being in my life. I love and appreciate you.
