Long before America had a calendar, the Jewish people had the Hebrew calendar. The Hebrew or Jewish calendar is a lunisolar calendar used today predominantly for Jewish religious observances. It determines the dates for Jewish holidays and the appropriate public reading of Torah portions, and daily Psalm readings, among many ceremonial uses. In Israel, it […]

In May of 2012, I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. A broken mess, I called out to him audibly daily and asked for redemption not even knowing if He’d hear me. I had no idea he was the one drawing me to him! There was nothing within me that believed Jesus would forgive me or heal me, after all I had met him at the age of 13 but strayed for twenty years. With one decision, I was reacquainted with the King of kings on bended knees without any reservations. All it took was for me to acknowledge He was Lord, and that I needed him to save me from all that I had become. A human being in darkness void of his love and his guidance. Right there, in turmoil, chaos, shame, despondency, and fear I chose an unseen God and He chose me. He broke chains of bondage and shackles of shame, bitterness, jealousy perversion, lust, anger, rejection and many many more and exchanged them for a Robe of Righteousness. I lived as a lesbian in a homosexual lifestyle for 20 years. A lifestyle of choices that kept me further from his truth and his call. Needless to say, He was waiting for me with arms wide opened, tenderness in His voice and love emanating from His heart to mine. All I was responsible for was saying, “yes” to his offer of salvation from Calvary. I said yes and have never wavered from that yes since. On October 15, 2012 I began hearing the voice of God clearly for the first time in a very long time. That’s when I began my new journey as His mouthpiece. A work in progress no doubt, but one who unashamedly says what He tells me to say, writes what He gives me to write and speaks what He leads me to say. The Love of God had won round five!
I was baptized, and filled with the Holy Spirit and have become a messenger of the Good News. Everywhere I go, I look for opportunities to share the love of Christ with souls that are like who I used to be, hopeless, struggling with an identity, void of security. Black or white, life can be fun or it can be a nightmare. Daily, we choose whether we will be an inspiration or inspired. We choose whether we live broken or healed, angry or forgiven, bound or set free. I've chosen to write what I've experienced and am continuing to by way of daily downloads and quiet revelation. It is my sincere desire that men, women, boys and girls from all around the world will one day hear of my story of redemption. I hope the creative work done inside of my soul by none other than Jesus himself will be proof enough to even the most hardened unbeliever. To be blunt, I expect God’s will to be done through my life in order to get people moving towards their destiny in Jesus Christ. We all have a destiny; a destination with many stops along the way. I’m simply grateful that I get to share my life story with those who God permits to hear it. My journey is one of a sanctified, justified sinner, who passionately reaches out to a dying world void of hope and love from the Author of Life one testimony at a time. Thank you for joining me on my journey, from Rejection to Acceptance, Fearful to Full-of-Life, and Broken to Completely Restored! My story has been written which includes many more rounds. This time, Jesus is walking me through each chapter that I get to share with the world. He continues to win each round with His love. He is everlasting to everlasting….
The Wind Chimes of Heaven
The Wind Chimes of Heaven by: Ciara Leilani Do you hear them? The Wind Chimes of Heaven are declaring their notice as the Winds of Change are here. The direction of the Wind has rapidly shifted causing the chimes to accelerate in their rhythm. On a warm afternoon, leaning back in a reclining chair these chimes would sound like […]

A Word from the Lord 1/27/2017
January 27, 2017 I heard the Lord God say, “The counsel of the wicked is being stripped from the minds of men who have been called to speak truth and peace. For far too long the enemy has clouded your mind(s) with foolish talk and unholy banter. Now I am changing the way you think […]
On Day One
I was awakened early (3:00 am) for a time of reflection and devotion this morning. It was during this time that I was asked by the Lord to step out and exude more faith. Faith for the naturally impossible. I thought to myself, “Wait what, am I not living by faith! Where is this coming […]
A Word from the Lord 1/14/2017
January 14, 2017 I hear the Lord saying, “Those who have a revival spirit will break forth this day with a sound of drums underneath their footsteps. The Lord says he who believes shall have exceptional promotions and undeniable truths wrapped around their loins. These promotions must be passed onward to their children’s children as […]
Are you a Dreamer?
Dreaming has always been a means by which the unseen lends itself to the natural. Are you a dreamer? Do you wake up trying to remember the details of your dreams or are you someone who remembers each and every detail of it? I personally am not a dreamer. I can have one or two […]
Take That Thought Captive
This post like many I have written in the past will need mediating on. The goodness of God will not be immediately perceived as it will upon deep meditation. I’ve attached an image of what I felt was the best visual representation of what I am about to write. The mind of a human being […]
AMERICA & THE PRESIDENCY
November 11, 2016 at 2:19 p.m. I heard the Lord God say, “America, America! Do you dare withstand my Winds of Change? Do you dare fight against the living God who has spared you for so many centuries. America, fall to your knees. Hear the word of the Lord today. I have done this great […]
Uprooting long-standing cultural traditions and practices with grace
To my fellow Americans, I felt compelled to write from the perspective of the Believer who voted in the 2016 United States Presidential election not because I felt now was an opportune time, however now is where the divide is seen and not just felt. I would like to take you back to a little […]
