Hello To all of our WIFI Ministry Subscribers, Visitors, Family and Friend’s… Rejoice!!!! This is the day that the Lord has made… Let’s Rejoice and be glad in it! Psalms 118:24.. Of note, I have enclosed day 26 of Pecking orders directly from Bishop T.D. Jakes… Read them, absorb them into your spirit, and put them into effect so you can see that changes needed to make your life enhanced for the better… ~ P.E.C.K. Your way!
Like inmates in a prison yard, so many of us stay within the limits of the cities or neighborhoods we’ve grown up in, never venturing outside of them for the slightest amount of time. God has given you freedom–freedom to be EXPOSED to all of His creation and not just your particular street in your particular part of town. Take steps now toward EXPOSING yourself to more. Go to museums, theaters, orchestral performances, cultural festivals or anything you’ve never experienced in your own city as this will ignite a desire in you to see what lies beyond the “prison” walls of where you’ve always been. A whole new world of discoveries awaits…
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
Philippians 3:13 (KJV) “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before..”

I pray each of our WIFI Subscribers, Visitors, Family and Friends have a blessed and prosperous day… I have enclosed day number 23 directly from Bishop T.D. Jakes of Pecking orders… I’m getting the revelation plain and clear and my shell has broke and I realize how free I am in Jesus!!!!~ Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas
So many of us remain trapped in the shell of the familiar, never venturing out to see different locations, eat new foods or even hear music we’re not accustomed to. Then, we wonder why we never progress further in life. EXPOSURE is a choice! Do you choose to hold on to the familiarity of what you’ve always experienced, or will you take a chance on something new and vibrant? This may cause you to be nervous, but it greatly enriches your life experience. God has more for you than your current surroundings! Take COURAGE and step out on faith to see and experience more!
Greetings to you all in the mighty name of Jesus… Happy Monday to everyone… Let’s keep moving right along in “LOVE” and P.E.C.K. our way to where God wants us to be. I have enclosed day number 22 of our Peckings orders directly from our Bishop T.D. Jakes.. Please read and put the order into action…
Much Love to you all, knowing that my God is “LOVE!”
The favor that God has placed on your life will cause you to be liked by people you can’t even imagine. They will be intelligent, influential and have wisdom to share with you on your journey. This requires that you EXPOSE yourself to more than just your familiar surroundings. These new “things” and new people God is sending your way may operate on a higher level than what you are accustomed to. Get comfortable trying new things and going new places. You’ll be glad you did! Keep pecking…
Greeting to all of our WIFI Subscribers, visitors, family and Friends… Happy Saturday to you all.. I have enclosed day number 20 of Pecking orders from Bishop T.D. Jakes.. Whatever you do, keep pressing and pecking your way…
BEFORE you can fully lead, you must withstand controversy and conflict.
a. Leaders tend to be controversial.
b. Leaders’ decisions create conflict.
c. Leaders are persons of commitment.
d. Leaders are guided by their character.
Be COURAGEOUS and accept the leadership responsibility of being controversial. You are not POSITIONED to make everyone like you! That’s God’s job. It’s called FAVOR…and…It ain’t fair!
At Woman Thou Art Loosed, I preached a message titled “The Pecking Order”. If you missed it, get your hands on a copy or download the MP3 from our site. During the conference God also moved me to share one of my breakthrough scriptures — Luke 2:52 “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”
For the next 52 Days, beginning tomorrow, we’re going to meet in the Spirit via social media. I’m going to be giving you “Pecking Orders” to help unlock FAVOR and POTENTIAL in your life and coach you into your destiny. Some of these orders will be spiritual…others will be natural, concerning issues like credit, debt, and leadership.
I’m challenging you to have 52 days of undistracted devotion with God. Get up early and give God the first fruits of your day. Have private devotion time. Meditate over Luke 2:52 and pray “Lord, Make me increase in wisdom and stature and favor…” Then, read your pecking orders for the day and believe God for a shift in your life. I want to pray for you as we embark on this journey!
You are anointed because God put it inside of YOU!!
Here is a recap from The Potter’s House of Dallas, last sunday Oct 21, 2012. Join us for live service online at 9am CST at http://www.tdjakes.org/watchnow/
Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV) “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Happy Thursday to our WIFI Subscribers, Visitors, Family and Friend’s… Yes, we are forgetting those things that are behind us and we pressing into our future… We are pecking away!!!!
I have enclosed day number 18 of Pecking order directly from Bishop T.D. Jakes
As God POSITIONS you for the future, you will begin noticing the importance of breaking old cycles. Breaking the cycle of repeated mistakes requires making a decision to move on with your life, but it won’t happen overnight and neither will it be easy. Find a way to move out of the past, move ahead, free from all encumbrances that threaten to leave you attached to your yesterday. Do not let the dead weight of old cycles impede your progress! PECK….
BEFORE you can see the beauty of the surroundings in which God has POSITIONED you, you must remove the clutter! God is a God of order! “God is not the author of confusion, but of peace” (1 Cor. 14:33). Though confusion does not stop God from working, it does stop YOU! The removal of unneeded items can reveal the beauty, functionality and lovely features of God’s creation, your possessions, and even your spirit. It’s time to clean house…physically, spiritually and mentally!

Clutter: “A confused or disordered state or collection; a jumble: sorted through the clutter in the attic.
A lot of times we keep gadgets, tools, toys, art supplies, et cetera around because they seem useful. However, it’s important to consider how often you actually use each item when deciding whether it’s worth keeping or should be given away. If you haven’t touched it in three to six months (or more), despite your best intentions, it is a good candidate for decluttering.
2. If not, is it something I love?
Of course, there are obviously exceptions to this rule (including seasonal items that you usually regularly in season). One exception I would always encourage you to make is for items you love. Keeping a painting from your grandmother that you love even if it doesn’t have a place in your current home is much different than keeping a snowcone maker that you have been meaning to use for two summers but never seem to have the motivation to actually pull out.
3. Am I keeping this out of obligation or expectation?
Chances are there is at least one thing in your home that you’re keeping not because it’s useful or you love it but because it was a gift from someone and you feel obligated to keep it. While I completely understand the desire not to hurt someone’s feelings, I think it is also important to remember that this is your home and if it is affecting your life, it’s okay to declutter gifts as well as the things that you’ve bought for yourself.
4. Am I holding onto this because I think I should love it?
Maybe you have a piece of artwork or a trendy outfit you picked up because they were popular and you felt like you should love them, even though you really don’t. Maybe your craft area is stocked with supplies for a hobby that no longer interests you. In all of these cases, it’s important to consider how you really feel and make your decisions based on those feelings rather than the ones you think you should have!
5. Am I saving this just in case?
One of the most common causes of clutter is a fear of needing something that you’ve given or thrown away. The reality is that if you commit to simplifying and decluttering, chances are that this will happen at some point. But for those of us who take the plunge to get rid of the unnecessary, the benefit of a clutter-free home is almost always worth the tiny bit of regret in these situations.
6. Do I have multiples of the same thing?
How many spoons or spatulas do you really need in your kitchen? Obviously your answer will depend on the type of cook you are, but ask yourself this question whenever you have multiples of any item. There’s a difference between being prepared and more efficient and just creating clutter!
7. Could something else I own do the same job?
I think this is a fun question! As you’re decluttering, look at any specialized tools or items you have and ask yourself if you could do the same job with another item, thereby cutting down on the number of different things you keep. To use another kitchen example, I decided to simplify our entertaining by giving away a bunch of our serving bowls once I bought a set of beautiful stainless steel mixing bowls from Ikea. I use these every day for cooking, but they also make great bowls for chips, dip, ice, et cetera.
8. Am I holding onto a broken item to fix one day?
This is another classic cause of clutter. Perhaps you have a piece of broken furniture or a broken electronic that you’re just sure you will have the time and desire to fix at some point. But ask yourself how long it’s been sitting in storage waiting for that day to come and whether you’re really ever going to get to it as you make the tough decisions about what to keep and what to get rid of.
9. Is this item worth the time I spend cleaning/storing it?
It’s important to remember that both your time and the space in your home have value. Think about how much time you spend cleaning knickknacks that you don’t really love. Or how about the time you spend sorting through the things in storage time and again to either find something you do need or want or to try to declutter once more. Would your life have less stress and busyness without those items?
10. Could I use this space for something else?
Think of the possibilities of what you could do with a closet or storage area in your home if you weren’t holding onto everything that currently fills it. What about a shelf full of knickknacks or books that don’t really interest anyone in your home? Your space has value too, and it’s important to look at the cost of everything you keep in terms of the space it occupies as well.
Which of these questions is the most challenging for you? Are there items in your home that you need to give yourself permission to give or throw away?
Happy Monday to you all.. I often listen to a lot Marvin Sapp’s motivational music, and one of my favorite songs he recorded entitled “My Testimony“… I’m so glad I made it!” Yes indeed, I’m so glad that we all made it to see this beautiful day that the Lord has made, and we shall rejoice and be glad in it..
We are truly thankful today for Jesus, and all of his wonderful creations. We are truly thankful for the people he has sent to impart knowledge into our lives. I must stop right here and right now and say Thank you to our Bishop T.D. Jakes… These past few weeks have been so phenomenal and life changing for hundreds of thousands (+) that got the chance to either attend (#WTAL) Women Thou Art Loosed Conference live, via the Internet with all access , or the opportunity to view some of our notes we were posting on the different social networking sites… Our souls were truly blessed, and the good part is, that it did not stop there… He decided to give us 52 more days of Pecking Orders which I have labeled as “goodness” that I truly believe will follow you for the rest of your life.. We must say that this WTAL experience was way more than an ordinary ride…It was a life changing experience that allowing you to develop a deeper relationship with God, and in turn we are developing our character, enhancing our wisdom and extending our internal knowledge. I pause to show my gratitude of thanks and want him to know how much we appreciate him to take the time to give us a plan and information to make our lives and future better.. Just when the devil had you thinking on the side of your mind that no one cares, here comes along the Man-of-God to prove some of us wrong.. There are people that do care, and just want to see you do good… Stick with those type of people that uplift your spirit.. We are aware that “LOVE comes in all forms, and sometimes every aspect of love has to used to get through to some of us.. Sometimes we need that tough love, and other times we just need a refresher to remind us how great we all can be, especially when we put our trust in the all mighty God, Jesus!!!!
In this new season, God will EXPOSE you to brand new things and people. However, do not get caught up in looking at the outside of a person, relationship or situation! These things do not always reflect what is on the inside. Jesus said about the Pharisees that “outside” they were clean, but “inside” they were full of dead men’s bones (Matthew 23:27). Ask God for His wisdom and KNOWLEDGE as you navigate new territory and people!
This is an awesome ministry to sow into.. Bishop tell us all the time,to “bless those that are feeding you good spiritual food”.. It’s just another way to say thank you, I love what you do and I appreciate you… Yes we do!!!! I pray that God continues to bless us to get in a position so we can be a blessing to someone else… Never hold on to what you can share and make multiply… My Dad, which was my Pastor for many years taught us that you cannot afford not to give.. You must always give and plant seeds to grow a harvest.. I truly believe that it costs more in the long run when you don’t give unto God.. When we cheat God, we are only cheating ourselves.. Try him at his word and help do your part that this precious Gospel continues to get shared throughout the universe.. ~ Minister Ev

You’ve got to get involved! Make the decision! Before anything will change, you must decide YOU want to change! You must decide to yield to God’s will and allow Him to POSITION you where you need to be before the next shifting occurs! But, change is not easy. It requires COURAGE! In the terrifying, soul-tingling feelings of the vertigo of change, we learn the value of faith and the fuel of prayer.

James 1:5 (KJV)”If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
Happy Tuesday to you all… We have made it to day number 9 and I’m loving how the Bishop is ordering us us to ask question.. Ask the hard questions!!… I’m up for the challenge knowing that we have not because we ask not!!! Ask them questions and keep pecking your way through! ~ Minister Evelyn Diane Thomas
Always have the COURAGE to force the hard questions! It’s the issues you never thought to ask about that can wreak havoc on your life! Throughout the Bible, you see people like Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus and Paul not shying away from the difficult questions their situations posed to them. Each of them did one key thing: they sought God! In James 1:5, God promises wisdom to all who ask Him for it! Take COURAGE in God’s wisdom! Never be afraid of the hard questions.
It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.
“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
