"My Time To Deal With It!

"A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.”
Psalm 34:19(NIV)

I once thought that the deliverance of the Lord came rapidly; and, meant an instant cure of every ailment, addiction, pain, suffering, or any area that sought to hold me captive. Deliverance has not occurred in my life in an instantaneous manner. It has been an ongoing process. Yes and painful too, because in the process of delivering me from what you and I see on the surface, the Lord is also dealing with the secret places in my life. You know the secrets we like to keep. Those tucked away areas that make us sick to our stomachs. Those areas that we fear anyone else discovering because if they knew, they would no longer love us, we would be lonely, isolated and ridiculed; we would be treated as lepers and castaways. Meanwhile, while keeping up appearances and facades, we are experiencing internal, self-inflicted torture. Sometimes the symptoms of this torture manifest themselves in the form of physical ailments such as: ulcers, and/or migraines. What has become more painful than the internal torture for me is observing my children display symptoms of the same secret places that I have fought so hard to hide, suppress, cover, ignore. A great man, Pastor Dr. Wilson Daniels, United Missionary Baptist Church, Chicago, IL, once told me, “Tam, these are the things great books are made of. So, start writing!”

So much of my life has been public, that there were just some things that I fought to keep private. Concealing these areas has been a struggle. It takes work! And then it became a way of life. Before I realized it, I lost sight of who I was. During this season of concealment, the Lord began to use me to stand and minister deliverance to others. My heart’s desire has always been to please God. It would be hypocritical of me to tell you to partake in a suffering that I have only experienced through reading. Paul admonishes us, “No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.”
1 Corinthians 9:27(NIV)

I have been sharing a series of messages entitled, “OPERATION EXPOSURE!” In this series, the Lord has been leading me in uncovering those dark places, not only in my life, but in the lives of others and causing us to:


DEAL WITH IT!


As the Lord ushers healing into my life, I am sharing what I have received with His people. You see, I desire more than ministering a Word of deliverance. My desire is to show you how to walk into your deliverance.

One Morning, about 1:30 a.m., the Lord woke me and led me to this passage, “So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” Exodus 10:3 (NIV) I now realize that I have been sent to the Kingdom for such a time as this. For the Lord has chosen me to: “…uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant” Jeremiah 1:10 (NIV). Now is the season the Lord has chosen to get out of me, what He has placed in me, to be delivered through me for your breakthrough. If you are reading this tract asking the question, “Is she saying she has been called to minister?” my answer is an affirmative, “Yes!” I have been called to help you,


DEAL WITH IT!
