 IT IS NOT 'About Me'...
 
WATCH, WAIT, WORSHIP = EXPECTATION!
KEEP YOUR EYES ON HIM…
Soaring high above the cares of this world;
HE IS ALL THAT MATTERS.
ALL I WANT TO DO IS
WORSHIP YOU, LORD
Set your minds and keep them set on what is above,
the higher things, not on the things that are on the earth.
Colossians 3:2
You have tried desperately to find your niche
as you struggle to know where you belong.
If you will stop striving to find acceptance and camaraderie among your peers
and instead seek to abide in Me,
then you will find a people of like mind who dwell together
in the unity of the Spirit and in the bond of peace.
However, as long as your focus is on you and your desires to be accepted,
even if you are among like-minded people... you will still feel like an outcast.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know (and see) what is the hope of His calling,
what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance…
Ephesians 1:18
The answer to complacency isn't working harder
at a list of do's and don'ts
it's falling in love with God.
Ezekiel 47:9
Wherever the River flows, life will fourish...
Where the River flows, life abounds!
YOU WERE WITH ME, LORD:
When I was lost in Japan and could not find my bus.
Psalm 46:4-5
There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her,
she shall not be moved;
God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
Happiness keeps You Sweet,
Trials keep You Strong,
Sorrows keep You Human,
Life keeps You Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only God keeps You a WORSHIPPER.
Standing in Submission:
Serving, Sowing, Studying, Surrendering, Singing...
is Beautiful to Him.
The daughter of an actor and makeup artist,
born in Hollywood, California for purpose...
Born Again of the Spirit of God for over 30 years.
In Hollywood, Beauty is only skin deep...
but in the Spirit it is more than just an outward appearance,
Beauty is an Attitude of the Heart.
To those who truly 'know' me by the Spirit know that my motto is:
He is ALL That Matters.
He is the Great Eternity Past, Eternity Present and Eternity Future...
Nothing Earthly Matters But His Voice.
I am a worshipper and a lover of His Presence.
I love His Wisdom;
The Word of the living God is my standard for life.
I am a licensed Minister,
and a very proud Mother and Grandmother, Mentor and Sister.
I travel often...
never going anywhere in the world without my entourage:
Father, Son, Holy Spirit and His angels assigned to watch over me.
I am not God's best soldier,
but simply a faithful, worshipping servant...
a conduit for His will.
I've seen it all in the high profile Christian circles,
and desire to be with HIM more than anyone on earth.
Nothing shocks or surprises me anymore.
HIS WORD is my completion and certainty,
the Rock upon which I stand - immovable.
Nothing Shall Be Impossible to Those Who Walk Together in His Agape Love & Covenant Agreement.
Respect, Protocol, Honor, Humility, Wisdom, Heart of a Servant, Integrity... knit together in love, having all the abounding wealth and blessings of assured conviction of understanding, becoming progressively more intimately acquainted with and may know more definitely, accurately and thoroughly that secret of God - which is Jesus Christ, the Anointed One.
Welcome, my friends... Minister Melanie
Psalms 18: 33
He makes my feet like hinds' feet
(able to stand firmly or make progress on the dangerous heights
of testing and trouble);
He sets me securely upon my high places.
Your enemy speaks to remind you of your past...
We speak to each other about our present...
God speaks to remind you of your future.
It is my daily desire...
to INTRODUCE people to Jesus (the Father & Holy Spirit);
to ENCOURAGE them to follow Him (the Word as their guide);
to INVOLVE them with other believers (fellowship in Agreement and Love);
to PREPARE them to minister (through opportunities to Serve and Bless others);
So God will be praised and worshipped, and ALL the glory will be His!
Philippians 3:13
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended;
but one thing I do:
forgetting those things which are behind
and reaching forward to those things, which are ahead.
We get into trouble when we attempt to do things
we are not anointed to do.
YOU WERE WITH ME, LORD...
When we slept on the floor under our desks so we could finish the Pastor's book.
HE MAKES ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME!
 TRANSITIONS REQUIRE PRESSURE...
ALLOW HIM TO PRODUCE HIS PURPOSE
THROUGH YOUR PRESSURE & PAIN!
True Beauty is seeing ourselves as God see us,
reflected in the mirror of His Word.
Time is a companion that goes with us on our journey.
It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as
how we have lived our lives for God. Obedience Counts for Everything
It is in deep Solitude, Silence and His presence that I find the
Gentleness and Grace with which I can truly Love unconditionally.
The more time in His presence the more Love I have for my brothers…. Solitude, Silence and Stillness teach me to Love God's family
for who they are,
not for what they say or do.
Minister Melanie
YOU WERE WITH ME, LORD...
when I got lost driving Dr. Murdock to the mall. (Omgsh!)
FLATTER ME and I may not believe you,
CRITICIZE ME and I may not like you,
IGNORE ME and I may not understand you...
ENCOURAGE ME and I will never forget you.
William Arthur Ward
YOU WERE WITH ME, LORD...
@ the Inside Edition Interview.
3:19 The LORD God [is] my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds' [feet], and He will make me to walk upon mine high places...
Psalm 18: 19-21
He also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness
(my integrity and sincerity with Him);
According to the cleanness of my hands He has recompensed me.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD,
and have not wickedly departed from my God.
The place which may seem like the end may also be just the beginning.
Minister Melanie
YOU WERE WITH ME, LORD...
when I moved across the country three times in 6 months.
NOTHING MATTERS
When I walk in my Father's Footsteps... Nothing Matters.
When He calls me "chosen daughter"... Nothing Matters.
Though He clothes me in purple royal or He choses a life of toil;
When I walk in my Father's Footsteps... Nothing Matters.
When I hold tight to my Father's hand... Nothing Matters.
When I submit to His perfect plan... Nothing Matters.
I know He seeks me from above just to bestow on me His love;
When I hold tight to my Father's hand... Nothing Matters.
Nothing Matters on this day but the price that Christ did pay;
That I may look to heaven and say...
Thank You, Lord, because of You... Nothing Earthly Matters
Minister Melanie
Iverna Thompkins
"Maturity comes from staying on our knees,
reading the Word, seeking the face of our Lord,
keeping our mouths shut
and tending the lambs the Father brings us,
until what is said or done to us really doesn't matter."
The Beauty of a Woman isn’t in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.
The Beauty of a Woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where God’s pure love resides.
The true Beauty in a Woman is reflected by her very soul and spirit; it is the caring that she gives and the passion that she shows.
The true Beauty of a Woman with passing years... only grows.
YOU WERE WITH ME, LORD...
when that BIG snake was in my office on the Pastor's 7 Acre Estate.
Agreement (Unity) Is Beautiful
I live by Dr. Thomas' Wisdom Principle:
THE ACT OF AGREEMENT IS THE LAYING DOWN OF ONE'S LIFE AND EMBRACING THE DREAMS OF ANOTHER.
18:19 Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever (anything and everything) they shall ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by my Father in Heaven.
18:20 For wherever two or three are gathered (drawn together as My followers) into My name, there I AM in the midst of them.
Matthew 18:19, 20 AMP
YOU WERE WITH ME, LORD...
after we worked all night in London the Minister left me on a street corner.
Purity Is Beautiful
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." (Matthew 5:8)
1 Samuel 16:7... "But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him;
for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
I will bring you out from under the hardship of Egypt,
and I will save you from their bondage.
I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
I will take you to Myself as a nation, and I will be to you a God.
Exodus 6:6-7
Thank You for the freedom You purchased for me, Lord.
I could never work hard enough, or long enough
to earn your blessings, favor or promises.
The 'slave' mentality is no longer beautiful to You.
Forever Grateful One... Minister Melanie
Giving frees us...
from the familiar territory of our own needs
by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds
occupied by the needs of others.
Barbara Bush
JESUS... THE KEY TO ALL WE NEED
DON'T SEEK A DESTINY... SEEK JESUS
DON'T SEEK A NEW DIRECTION... SEEK JESUS
DON'T SEEK A MAN... SEEK JESUS
DON'T SEEK WISDOM... SEEK JESUS
DON'T SEEK A NEW SEASON... SEEK JESUS
DON'T SEEK A DOOR... SEEK JESUS
WORSHIP HIM... THE KEY, DOOR, WISDOM, WAY,
OUR ALL IN ALL FOREVER AND EVER...
IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM... Minister Melanie
"We Are What We Repeatedly Do."
Real Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit...
and
Faith is a specific instruction from God, not a suggestion...
and
Worship is an attitude of the heart,
not simply something we do only on Sundays.
YOU WERE WITH ME, LORD...
Through rejection and persecution and death.
OBEDIENCE IS BEAUTIFUL
OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE!
OBEDIENCE IS MISSING IN THE WORLD TODAY,
ESPECIALLY IN OUR TEENAGERS.
OBEDIENCE IS OUR INTEGRITY...
LIVING OUR LIVES WITH DISCIPLINE AND PURPOSE.
STAY OBEDIENT TO HIS SPIRIT, IMMOVABLE FROM HIS PRESENCE,
YET FLEXIBLE WHILE HIS GENTLE WIND BLOWS...
KEEPING YOUR EYES FIXED AND FOCUSED ON HIM AND HIM ALONE.
HE IS OUR ONLY CERTAINTY OF LIFE...
A LIFESTYLE OF WORSHIP IN OBEDIENCE, SPIRIT AND TRUTH.
 TRANSFORMATION IS BEAUTIFUL TO HIM...
YOU WERE WITH ME, LORD...
when the Pastoral Staff was unnecessarily ridiculed from the pulpit.
Pain passes...
but the beauty in God's lessons remain with us for eternity.
RELATIONSHIP: Practicing Prayer in His Presence
RESULT: The Preparation Process of Pruning & Purging
through Patience
REWARD: The Power of the Promise (Jesus)
Religion values appearance.
Relationship values righteousness.
YOU WERE WITH ME, LORD...
in every country, on every flight, in every cab, in every hotel..
HOME is the place of preparation for our journey through the world.
HOME is where our journey begins.
There's no place like HOME;
make it a haven or shelter to all who dwell within.
  
You are Assigned to Help Someone Succeed;
Dream Your Dreams and Never Give Up!
(Someone Is Counting On You.)
"The One Who Accepts Another
Will Have The Greatest Influence In That Life."
Excellence: The emphasis is on quality.
Perfection: The emphasis is on mistakes.
YOU WERE WITH ME, LORD...
when You taught me about Protocol and had me serve the African King.
Did you know that both Adams died in a garden?
FAVOURITE SCRIPTURE
Psalms 27:4
One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek and require; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD (in His presence) all the days of my life, to behold & gaze upon the beauty (delightful loveliness) of the LORD, and to meditate, consider & inquire in His Holy temple.
Your Words Can Bring Beauty to Life
Your own words can be the bricks and mortar
of the dreams you want to realize.
Your words can give agreement
to the greatest power you have - HIM.
The words you have chosen to use
have established the life you are experiencing this very day.
 
A MANTLE OF LOVE...
The Mantle of Love has been given to us through Love, Himself.
This Mantle is the Anointing, the Ability and the Mandate
to love the unlovely... as Jesus did (does).
Hugs & Kisses... I love you! 
YOU WERE WITH ME, LORD...
when I fell on the set at the TV Studio.
A MANTLE OF PEACE...
October 6, 1982
And God shall surely make thee a PEACEMAKER You would say, "I'm not big and burly, I'm not a large strong person, how can I make PEACE?" The Lord saith, I shall make thy ways the ways of PEACE. And men shall see My ways and they shall see the PEACEMAKER walk in their midst and they shall recognize that there is not only the PEACE of God with thee and in thee, but they shall receive even of the PEACE of God as they see a demonstration of the same. Great and mighty works shall thee do, be not afraid. Signs and wonders will follow thee. That PEACE is falling on thee now... you will be a blessing wherever you go, like an angel falling down to earth. Great and mighty calling on your life and a special blessing on your children.
 Now may the Lord of Peace Himself grant you His Peace (the Peace of His Kingdom) at all times and in all ways (under all circumstances and conditions, whatever comes).
The Lord of Peace be with you all.
2 Thessalonians 3:16
Some of the best money you could ever spend...
is money spent on your own tranquility.
YOU WERE WITH ME LORD,
when I had only three apples left in my refrigerator.
Symptoms of the Inner Beauty of Peace
- A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences
- An unmistakable ability to enjoy the moment
- A loss of interest in judging other people
- A loss of interest in judging self
- A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others
- An inability to worry (this is a very serious symptom!)
- Frequent overwhelming episodes of appreciation
- Frequent acts of smiling
- An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than to make them happen
- An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it.
YOU WERE WITH ME, LORD...
When my heart was breaking & shocked from the word: Divorce.
 A MANTLE OF WISDOM...
Your God-Given Destiny came to earth below from Heaven above
even before you were born...
~ for a Purpose.
Don't let anyone talk you out of what you love to do, dream about, focus on, or study.
You may be standing on a street corner in the middle of the night in London...
~ for a Purpose.
You may be lost in Japan and cannot find your bus back to Kyoto City...
~ for a Purpose.
You may take a fall on a TV production set, belittled on a 7-acre Estate or alone at night waiting for your ride at the airport...
~ for a Purpose.
You may work all night & sleep all day, or work all night & work all day...
~ for a Purpose.
Don't allow anyone put you down or question your Purpose... don't allow anyone to tell you your hair or nails are too long, your purse is too flashy, your shoes are 'too pointy', you have too much bling,
your clothes are not 'right'...
for it is only by HIS ability and only by HIS sufficiency that you will fulfill...
~ your own unique Purpose.
It may be a long journey or it may seem to be dragging out a bit, but all the roads that He's allowed you to walk & travel are stepping stones, leading you in the direction of HIS PERFECT WILL...
~ for a Purpose.
Have patience, a spirit of faith, and a sweet, worshipful attitude and you will SEE the Hand of God moving on YOUR behalf bringing your promised land into focus...
~ for HIS Great Purpose of Love.
Don't Give Up On the Brink Of Your Miracle!
It May be Right Around the Corner!!
Keep Your Eyes Glued on HIM!
Much love... Minister Melanie
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS LORD...
Silence Cannot Be Misquoted
(Dr Mike Murdock)
 ... and Worship
The Beauty of a Woman
Made for me as a surprise to me but never a surprise to God.
Thank you Amy, Valley Girl. Love you.
YOU WERE WITH ME LORD,
when You had me give away all my clothes & furniture.
 I believe in Fairy Tales...
God's Perfect Will comes to earth,
just as it was already seen & spoken in Heaven...
The Highest Dimension of Worship, Dreams Do Come True.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
May He grant you according to your heart's desire
and fulfill all your Godly plans.
Psalm 20:4
YOU WERE WITH ME, LORD...
when I had no car, no job... when all I had in the world was my Bible.
- THE MINISTRY OF COMFORT -
THE HEART OF A SERVANT...
MARCH 31, 1993
Great and mighty works shall you do; go out in boldness, be not afraid. Signs and wonders will follow you as you teach My Word.
Peace falling on you now; you will be a blessing wherever you go like an ANGEL falling down to earth.
Great and mighty calling on your life and a special blessing on your children.
