21-Day Consecration of Obedience

Back in 2009, I did this consecration and I journaled on Facebook each day to share what I was learning. I have decided to do it again.

I am vowing to God to be obedient no matter what it cost.

"The LORD is my strength, my shield from every danger. I trust in Him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving." Psalm 28:7

"And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 12:9

So, what is that I am being obedient to God for 21 days, starting June 22nd, well, there are a few things that came to mind when I made up my mind to do this:

1. Reading the word, not just studying it for sermons and counseling. 
2. Eating right and losing some weight 
3. Forgiving those that have wronged me and seeking forgiveness from those that I have wronged. 
4. Staying faithful to my writing schedule (3 Hours daily except for Sundays)
5. Being more consistent in every area of life. saying what I mean and meaning what I say.
6. Being faithful to accomplishing daily, weekly and monthly goals. 

So, my journey starts on June 21, 2015 and as the Lord speaks I will obey. In my future blogs, beginning June 21st, I will describe this journey. I will talk about the ups and the downs. I will allow myself to be transparent and real. I want to change and become everything God has already spoken I will be.

Father, I pray that you allow me to grow through this process. Let my words be pleasing in your sight. Teach me, mold me, and cause me to rise above my flesh. It's not in my power but in your power that I will accomplish this feat. I will be able to become the woman you created me to be. Father, I pray that you will be glorified in all that I say and do. Let your anointing flow freely in my life. I am a willing vessel. I ask you to rebuke the devour from my life. Remove all desires that are not like you and help me to see clearly what you have in the storehouse for me. Bless all those that encourage me on this journey and those that journey along with me to be more pleasing in your sight. I pray this all in Jesus' name.

 I wrote about this in my blog today because I want to share this with you and if you feel so led to join me. Let me know in the comments below. 

You are Bound No More.

Meet The Keynote Speakers of Turning Your Past Into Purpose Retreat Cruise 2016: Evangelist Rein Johnson

Heireina Patrei Johnson, affectionately known as “Rein” or “Lady Rein” in art, ministry, and authorship, was born and raised in San Francisco, CA to Elder Huey P Johnson and Evangelist Yuvetta Pryor. Her father, prior to his passing, prophesied over her in the womb indicating that she would be a dynamic and anointed woman of God carrying on his legacy of high profile ministry and profound commitment to the cause of Christ, and that she would be used to bring deliverance and healing to the nations.

Rein was saved, anointed, and called to preach at the tender age of seven-- a ministry prodigy often astounding those who heard her preach with her keen insight, revelation, and theological reflections on the word. Her ministry was developed in the Church of God in Christ, where she held many positions in ministry respectively, including: youth and young adult leader and minister, praise and worship leader, preacher, children’s ministries leader, Sunday school and Bible study teacher, church administrator, drama ministries coordinator, praise dance ministries leader, etc.

Called to pursue advancement in ministry, Rein was later licensed as a minister in the A.M.E church prior to a call to leaving it to support her pastor in launching a non-denominational ministry geared toward reaching the marginalized and oppressed. It was there that she continued her work in the ministry serving as a clergy member, minister of music, and youth and children’s leader while launching out as an independent and highly sought after inspirational artist. Her ministry in the music has enabled her to minister alongside gospel greats and has afforded her numerous accolades throughout the bay area and beyond.

While Rein grew up fully committed to ministry in every aspect, her young life outside of the church was a devastating one that included early prostitution by her grandmother, molestation, rape, abortion, and later divorce and domestic violence. Her passion increased for the people of God, especially for those with past traumatic and abusive experiences who needed support and ministry to their deeper needs and weren’t being ministered to in the church. Fully persuaded that she could be used to minister to the hurting, marginalized, and oppressed, she began to seek God for the role that she could play in encouraging and promoting healing and transformation. In 2010, God ushered her off of a lucrative job as a Human Resources Executive and Chief Administrator and compelled her to chronicle her life’s journey toward transformation in her book, “I Am Not Garbage.” From there, God has opened numerous doors for her and established several partnerships that allow her to minister the gospel of transformation and the Word in general to multiple youth and women’s organizations, social clubs, schools, and churches.

Today, Rein spends her time in servitude to Christ through full time ministry. She is a dynamic praise and worship leader and psalmist, an author, a certified youth, family, and parent coach, and a highly sought after motivational speaker and preacher who is committed to leading others in the direction of wholeness, transformation, and freedom through the work of her organization HeReinz Ministries LLC—an organization founded on the Christian principles of hope and unrelenting trust in God, who by His power and love has the ability to transform us all-- one thought, one memory, one moment, and one day at a time.

Rein reaches many through transparent testimony in combination with Christian theology through speaking engagements, classes, webinars, music, devotionals, books, social and other media as a means of drawing others into their complete wholeness and transformation—teaching principles of living healthy and wholesome lives free from the pain of the past.

She is also the proud mother of three beautiful boys, Paris, Pierre, and Caleb-Lyric.

Update In Dates of Turning Your Past Into Purpose Women's Retreat Cruise 2016

NEW DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

February 20, 2016 - February 25, 2016

Due to an unforeseen circumstance with Carnival, they asked us if we would be willing to move our cruise date back to February 20 - 25, 2016. We graciously agreed as we know God is going to move on this cruise like never before and we are going ahead with His plan. Mark your calendars with the new dates. The itinerary remains exactly the same. We look forward to seeing you there.

We Need Your Help!

I believe that where God guides, he provides. Yet, just as I learned how to preach, I had to learn how to raise support. The way I have raised support is by fearlessly praying and communicating.

First, I pray to find out what God wants me to do, and then through prayer I apply his promises to those needs. Second, in an honest up-front way, I share with my home church and prayer partners what I intend to do and what I need to get the job done. I have never begged for money. Instead, after praying about my needs, church leaders and supporters usually ask what I need. Sometimes the Lord gives me creative ways to share those needs through communication with my support team.

I must admit it is hard for me to ask for help in this economy because I know there are those that are in need themselves. However, when I do ask it is because I know that God wants to bless those that step out and do support financially as well as prayerfully.

So, here's what is happening in the next few years. I normally do three events through WHOLE Ministries and we reach out to the less fortunate that have suffered abuse and need help coping and getting back to normal. With WHOLE ministries our main focus is the community of unchurched individuals that seek our help. In 2015 we want to raise that three events to six.

Because these are free events, location, food and materials cost us and we provide in a spirit of excellence according to the budget we have. In 2015 we want to do more class room teaching and series so we can truly help them understand god's love and get some practical application experience.

Through Living Above Hurt, we deal with the Church community. again these individuals are lost in the House. they are hurting and need to remember who they are and whose they are. normally we will do four events a year but we want to raise that to six. 

We also want to start a more active online ministry and have an annual retreat that people can come to and truly be delivered and redeemed from their past.

this is not your usual church ministry, we are not afraid to get our hands dirty and to stay in the pit until the one we are working with is able to stand up and move forward.

If you reading this blog, then you have an understanding about ministry and deliverance. You know that sometimes you cant just sing a song and say a prayer. Sometime you have to fight for your life. Sometimes you have to battle demons that don't want you to be free. We are here to help those that want to be helped.

Your donation of $5, $10, $15, $20, or $100, $500 or more can help us reach our goal and continue what we have started and spread it to other communities and cities. This is our prayer.

We need your prayers but we also would appreciate your financial support. Click here to make a donation today. Just so you know, we are praying for anyone that makes any amount donation. We want God to give it back to you 100-fold.

You are no longer Bound!
