Ready, Set, Go!

    

    When we get ready to move into the fullness of God’s authority and anointing, we have to conquer anything that is in our lives that could possibly rule us, and we must put ourselves in the “ready position”.  If there is a stronghold in your life, it has to come down; and it doesn’t have to be everything, it could just be one area of your life that is keeping you from being in His perfect will. That ONE thing can keep you from walking in your full authority and calling, or it can hinder your God-given gifts. It will hold you down and keep you so focused on that pain, hurt, rejection, loss, and more, that you lose sight of what God has for you - therefore giving the enemy the victory. 

Pin-point it, Conquer it; if you are a believer, then you know that you have the same power inside of you that Jesus did when he walked here on the earth, so speak it every single day until it is no more. We have to remove that stronghold, sin, shame, hurt, rejection... everything negative; repent and walk away. Then fill that space that once was a stronghold in your life with His victory, peace, understanding and purpose. 

When God gets ready to transition you to another place in Him, He will make you uncomfortable and dissatisfied with where you are. That is an important sign that transition is coming. What used to bring us joy, no longer does. That is when it is time to look up to Him, put our focus on Jesus and follow His ways. As we do this, our gifts develop, and strength and leadership develop as well. Because if God gives you a gift, that is for you, it will open doors for you that you could never open on your own, opportunities and options grow, you will meet the right people at the right time, always if you are following Him. Most importantly, do not keep your gifts to yourself, use them to bring Him glory in any and every way you can. 

We know what gifts we have, and we know what hinders them - that is half of the battle. So if you know you are in a struggle, and you cannot pin point it, reach out! God has done so much in our lives, we cannot sit by and not share what He has done with everyone who needs hope, needs a reason to hang on for another day. We are here to pray with you and for you, that's why we are here.

Where Are The Flowers?

            It just happens like that sometimes… I am a music/song person, I have been for as long as I can remember. It is most likely because during my childhood, my parents were both musicians and songwriters, my mother was the Minister of Music at our church, and my dad was the pastor - but I was raised, not only to hear the songs, but to hear the words and the emotion behind them. So it was nothing usual when I heard a new song for the first time, I listened to the words, felt every single one, tears slowly and quietly rolled down my cheeks. THIS ONE was different, it hit me differently. Why was I feeling so much emotion while listening to the song. It ministered to me in a way I had not felt before.       I went on and decided to remember it and listen to it again later. It was just a day or so later that it came on the radio again, and I listened intently again to every lyric - and again, I felt emotion that I could not descr...

Ornaments - An Intro into Shara

          I began the journey into my soul searching a few years ago, and it has all led me here… today, to this moment. How I got here, well, that’s a much longer story than any of us have time for, so I will tell it like this:           From early on in life, I learned to…… well…. Let me put it this way…           You know when you have a Christmas tree, and over the years, you collect ornaments. Over time, you begin each Christmas season, placing each ornament on the tree, each one representing a moment in time, a memory for you, for your kids, or even better, for the whole family. You know, the one you got on that vacation of a lifetime that you took your kids on, just ONE time in their entire childhood. Every year when you place that ornament on the tree, you smile and remember that trip, those memories, those moments. Year by year, one by one, ornaments are added, along with memories of g...

Intro into Us

Image
💗 We are Jimmy and Shara Ybarbo, we grew up in church and have been serving the Lord since childhood. We both have a history in various ministries, Jimmy's main (but not his only) focus was to the needy, and the homeless - the forgotten and unloved; while my focus was to the youth ministry, foster kids, and fine arts ministry. We came together about 4 years ago, Jimmy has 3 daughters, and I have 1 daughter and 3 sons; altogether we have 7 kids, and 5 grandkids so far! When we married, we were in a different place, Jimmy had been through some things that were devastating and life changing; and I had experienced devastating loss; and that’s when we found each other. Together we found so much joy and hope, we were delirious in love. Then, when the dust settled and we really began life together - we quickly realized that we were both so damaged from our past that we were a very toxic combination. While we were madly in love with each other, spiritually, we were in shambles. We had nev...
