Prayers and Fire Flies

Well, hello hello ladies!  I apologize for not posting the past two days.  Tuesday I was at a work event all day and yesterday wasn’t a good day for me to be honest.  The devil is trying to get me down and I apologize for giving him yesterday and not posting. 

Ever feel like things aren’t going so well and they just keep getting worse?  Have you ever heard the song “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash?  Some of the lyrics are “I fell into a burning ring of fire, I went down, down, down and the flames went up higher.  And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire.  The ring of fire”.  Ever feel like that is your theme song?  Whew I know I have.  Sometimes the flames are so bright that you can’t see anything, and they are so hot that you can’t feel anything, and the crackling of the fire is so loud that it's deafining!  Well, I’m here to tell you that God is the ultimate fire fighter.  There may not be calendars with pictures of God is a fireman suit for your office but I guarantee you He out shines them all!!  After all, He did turn water into wine.  So He can also turn those flames into fire flies!  That thought puts a smile on my face, just close your eyes and imagine so many fire flies whose lights are shining so bright that you can’t see anything else.   And whose wings are fluttering so fast that you feel a breeze on your skin.   How beautiful is that?  How nice does that feel?  Now image that every single one of those fire flies are prayers, prayers that your friends, family and fellow Christians have prayed for you to bring you out of the flames you are in.  God is the only one who can bring you up from those flames, NOTHING is too big for Him.  Ladies, the only way to have all those fire flies is to reach out, don’t be ashamed of what you’re going through, or embarrassed.  Don’t ever think that just because you feel like you can’t handle it at the time that we, your fellow Christian women, can’t take some of the burden away from you with prayers.  Where two or more are gathered He is there.  I want to encourage you to call the prayer hotline provided on this webpage, reach out to your friends, reach out to your family or even to Raynsia and I, most importantly reach out to God yourself.  No judgment here.  We are all one in His eyes, so when we cry out in prayer for you He sees you and He knows what is needed. 

Matthew 7:8
For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.

Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Does this mean everything we ask for we will get?  No, heck if that were the case we’d all me millionaires, with no bills, no worries, and no lives because no one would be working and if no one is working then there is no one to pull in the harvest so we can eat, to run the power plants so we have electricity, no one to run the telephone and internet companies so we can use the web and make telephone calls.  See girls, God knows what He is doing.  So reach out, pray and begin the healing process.  That process has begun for me.  I myself was a little down earlier in the week and was reminded by both my (friend/mother figure) Mary and Raynisia that when you are trying to do something great (as in this blog to share God with others, listening to only Christian music, etc) the devil will do his best to bring you down to his level.  He’ll drag you down and before you know it those flames are so high that there doesn’t seem to be a way out.  Well I reached out, Raynisia, Mary, Reda, my dad, my husband, and other friends they all began to pray for me. Wanna know how I know?  Because I see the fire flies ladies, and they are beautiful.  My spirits are lifted again, the smile is back on my face and the praise and worship music I listen to daily is no longer just noise in the background.  I can hear it again, I can hear the words and hear the rejoicing and I’m signing right along with it (goodbye crackling flames).  So thank you, to all who have prayed for me.  Life isn’t perfect by any means and my troubles aren’t quite over but I know God is in control and He will provide.  So this is my cry to all of you who read this as well, please pray for me, heck pray for us all lol, help me to see more and more of those fire flies

                Somehow I’ve turned this into a selfish blog and I apologize for that.   But as I mentioned before I nor Raynisia are perfect, we are just as lost as you are sometimes so we need some help as well.  I pray for you all every night (before I fall asleep that is so most of you get in those prayers I promise lol).  If you have special requests please let me know privately at brandy.fitch@gmail .com or email Raynisia or of course the prayer hotline. 

On another note….here’s a song to share with you all “On My Knees” by Jaci Velasquez http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gArr7gyiMBY …check it out, you know you want to ;)

                Be extraordinary ladies, walk in His light and allow Him to guide you.
