Abba’s Fathers Reign!

My Dearest Royal Readers:

You and I just celebrated our Fathers, whether natural, spiritual, adopted or simply respected as such, and the significant role they walk out in our lives.  I pray that you had a wonderful Fathers Day Weekend.  I thank God that I did as a result of spending quality time with my natural Father, Elder Horace L. Owens, on Saturday at a gospel stage production in Baltimore, MD featuring Gospel Legendary Artist, Twinkie Clark, and my “baby” brother, Andre Owens, on keyboards (the most anointed Kingdom Keyboardist and Percussionist that I know; for bookings, e-mail: pianoismygift@gmail.com). 

Pastor Joel R Peebles Sr.

On Fathers Day, I had a blessed time with my Spiritual Father, Pastor Joel R. Peebles, Sr. and our City of Praise Church  Family at Lake Arbor Golf Course in MD, at our “Praise in the Park” Sunday worship service.  I don’t know if you know our story as a church family, but we are living proof that a church is not a building, but on the contrary, surely indeed God’s church is within the hearts and souls of His sons and daughters! Since the transition to glory of his mother (our beloved Apostle Mom, Dr. Betty P. Peebles) in 2010, I’ve witnessed my Pastor love in the midst of hurt, stand tall under enormous pain and pursue God purposefully to keep our church family unified and focused on winning souls to Jesus Christ which is our reasonable service and God’s key mandate on our lives as Christians.  I’m so proud to be spiritually covered and developed by such awesome servant leadership!

My Daddy & Daughter Darnaya

 What a blessing to still have my (natural) Daddy here on earth to spend time with as well as to glean love and wisdom from!  I thank God daily for he and my mother being such loving, giving and praying parents which has caused me to be the same way as a parent to my children.  I also thank God for the spiritual and surrogate/self-adopted fathers in my life such as Pastor Joel who continue to pour greatness into my life even as an adult woman. 

In the midst of celebrating fathers on this past Saturday’s BlogTalkRadio Show, I was impacted all over again by the significance of the ultimate – our Heavenly Father – reigning in our lives as His creation.  Without Abba God as the head of our lives and the center of our joy, we can do nothing.  In fact, without Abba God, we’d fail.  My personal celebration of Fathers Day went a great deal higher on Saturday when Abba’s powerful Spirit rested upon our heads and hearts as humble hosts of the show.  I was reminded all over again how much Abba loves us, cares for us, covers us, provides for us, and exercises His free-will grace to use us for His absolute glory. 

Gospel Recording Artist, Sonny Rivera

As special guest on “The Son & Daughter of Christ Speak” BlogTalkRadio Show, Gospel Recording Artist and Worship Leader, Sonny Rivera, poured out from the heart of Abba into us a transformational Message to men from Genesis Chapters 16-17.  Additionally, my fellow BTR Host, Min. Darren A. Davis, complimented Bro. Sonny’s Message with God-inspired revelation that just took our show and all who were tuning in to another Holy Ghost level!  My NYC Homeboy and Kingdom Bro. Sonny is an awesome Worship Musician, Leader and Artist; you truly want to purchase his CD entitled “Finally,” that will bless your worshipping soul!  I can’t wait for his new CD to release!  I also encourage you to take a listen to our “Royal Fathers Day Show 2012” for yourself.  In fact, share the link with anyone you know who needs a healing from Abba as son or daughter. Listen on iTunes by searching my name or copy and paste the link below:   http://www.Blogtalkradio.com/darnellamoore/2012/06/16/candid-kingdom-conversation-bw-sons-daughter   

Salvation isn’t about being religious, but more importantly, about being in a personal relationship as child with your Heavenly Father through the Lord Jesus Christ.  Furthermore, salvation isn’t about your name being on any man’s or denomination’s membership roll (although fellowship is important), but soul salvation is all about you being a Son or Daughter of God/Christ.  Therefore, I humbly encourage you to return home (spiritually) to Abba by yielding your life back to Him and accepting Him as Savior.  He is waiting just for you – His special possession. 

Abba God is a Father Who will never leave, nor forsake you; He will be with you until the end, through the thick and the thin.  As Bro. Sonny’s soon-to-be-released worship song entitled “Regardless” that we played on the show says, “Regardless of where you’ve been or what you’ve done, He – Jesus – loves you!” 

And so do I! Royal Bro. Darren and I thank you so much for lifting our BTR Show to over 8,300+ listens to spread the Love and healing of our Daddy God all over the world! Know that I, along with our entire Royal Society Family of The Sons & Daughters of Christ, are praying for you! Abba is drawing His children back home to Him and we are so honored to be a part of His endtime Evangelistic Movement!!!

Loving You Always,
Your Sister Darnella

My Home Church (The City of Praise)

My Dearest Royal Readers:

As many of you know or have read/seen in the media, my church home, The (Jericho) City of Praise has been in a court battle ever since our beloved Founder & Senior Pastor, Apostle Dr. Betty P. Peebles, transitioned to glory. In light of a blog article published on Wednesday (12/7/11), I felt the need to share with you, my audience, my comment to the article as one of the members who proudly remain under the excellent spiritual leadership of Pastor Joel R. Peebles, Sr. 

My Pastor Joel R. and First Lady Ylawnda Peebles, Sr.

My Comment to The Church Lady Blogs’ 12/7/11 Article:
Because He Is, I Am… The Daughter of Christ as well as a Spiritual Daughter of the late Apostle Dr. Betty P. Peebles and now her awesome son, Pastor Joel R. Peebles, Sr. of The (Jericho) City of Praise located in Landover, MD. Words cannot even begin to describe the God-loving, righteous and humble ministry leadership the Peebles family has served my life (and the lives of thousands of others) with over the years/decades. In spite of their rise to mega-church status in ministry, they have always been and remain the most touchable and approachable Pastors I have ever met in the Kingdom of God (and being raised in church as well as active in ministry, I’ve met many). I never felt lost as 1 of 10,000+ because Apostle Mom and Pastor Joel both release so much familial love that you know you are home amongst Spiritual Parents and family when you’re in service.

I often say, good Pastors without self-agendas, pride and arrogance who truly have a heart for God and His people are (sadly) hard to find in these evil last days. Therefore, when we are blessed to find and sit under one, we need to stand still and up (when necessary) with these rare Kingdom treasures. Such is the reason I remain at The City of Praise under the leadership of the Peebles’ servant leadership and legacy, because like his awesome parents, Pastor Joel is indeed one of those Kingdom treasures and Generals on the battlefield for God’s glory as opposed to his own!

Thank you, My Royal Sister The Church Lady, for sharing our (the Sons & Daughters of The City of Praise who support Pastor Joel, his family and our longtime Trustee Board Chairman William Meadows (whom Apostle Mom always referred to as such (“Chairman”) which is how I knew a Board existed at Jericho City of Praise) story with your audience.May our DaddyGod continue to bless you and catapult you in life and ministry!

In His Love, Your Sister Darnella

His Essence of Fatherhood

My Dearest Royal Readers:

Abundant & Highly Favored New Year 2011 to you and your families! You and I haven’t merely been blessed by Abba to step into a new year, but also a new decade that will manifest a great work for our awesome God here on earth for the next 10 years and beyond. When our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ cracks the sky for you and I, we should  and will be busy doing our individually unique assignments that bring Him glory, the world His Love & Salvation and we ourselves bountiful blessings!

“Come out  from among them. And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My Sons and Daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
~ 2 Corinthians 6:18 NKJV

We’ve entered into a season wherein simply attending our churches/synagogues as organizational “members” is not sufficient nor prophetically sound. There has been a Prophetic Shift to Fatherhood in the atmosphere! Meaning, God our Father is rebuilding, perfecting and turning our Hearts towards Him as His Anointed Children; He is now using us to spread His Gospel with Righteous Living through His Love (termed “GodLove“) for all mankind (not just our own color, ethnic, social-class or religious background) empowering us individually to Love one another corporately as Brethren (termed “Royal Siblings“) correctly; and finally, impacting and charging our Pastors/Shepherds/Priests/Rabbis to no longer see, deem, treat or lead us merely as a tithe paying member in their pews, but as Sons & Daughters in their humbled Hearts thereby developing us as such!

When you walk into a place of worship, you should encounter the Love as well as the Fatherhood of our God!

True Fatherhood Shepherds (as I’ve been so honored & blessed to have in my life from childhood to adulthood through Bishop Landon E. Penn (NY), Apostle & Pastor Ralph E. & Dr. Shirley Green (MD), and my (late-whom recently transitioned to glory) Apostle Mom, Dr. Betty P. Peebles (MD) of my present home church Jericho City of Praise) who are living righteously and leading lovingly is exactly what every Son or Daughter of God needs to spearhead his/her spiritual life towards great success! It is my hope this is the type of Shepherd you are presently sitting under as well as my prayer that those of you who are seeking a place of worship will be led to such kind by His Holy Spirit.

As mentioned, my Jericho COP Royal Siblings and I lost the physical presence of our Apostle Mom recently in October 2010. Her passing was emotionally hard for me as I matured spiritually and birthed out naturally as The Daughter of Christ as a result of her powerful Word teaching ministry in 2002. In 2000, I walked into her church for the first time as a “church girl stepping out of bounds” (by the way, this is the title of a book I’m currently writing), broken and bruised. That day, Apostle Mom preached a sermond entitled, “Coming Out of Egypt,” that healed and lifted me up instantaneously causing me to walk in my promise land ever since! God’s Message through her spoke to me personally in the most profound way! I knew immediately she was my new Pastor & Spiritual Mom. The anointing of her Motherhood hit me like a huge as well as life-changing “BOOM!”

I praise God for Apostle Mom passing her anointed and prophetic Mantle upon her Son–our (Jericho’s) Assistant, yet now Senior Pastor Joel R. Peebles, Sr. & First Lady Ylawnda Peebles. Pastor Joel ministered as Asst. Pastor at Jericho’s 8:00am service (which I rarely attended) and Apostle Mom Shepherded the 11:00am service. Therefore, as a Daughter of Jericho, I hadn’t built a relationship with him as I had with Apostle Mom. I highly respected and was excited about her passing the Mantle of Pastoral Leadership to Pastor Joel, yet had not connected in my heart to him and his wife as my (now) Spiritual Father & Mother. I still felt more towards them as Brother & Sister. Until this New Year Weekend…

…After New Years Eve service (as we were exiting the building to go home and inspite of her exhaustion), First Lady Ylawnda stopped to ask my son DaSean, “What is your GPA-how are your grades in school?,” and took the time to talk/minister to, as well as pray for him as a Spiritual Mother who cared about the success of her child. Then on yesterday-our 1st Sunday worship service of 2011-when Pastor Joel anointedly and confidently spoke the next-level Vision of The City of Praise. He ministered and spoke Vision into our lives corporately, yet hit me like a flood uniquely and individually as a Daughter! I screamed and couldn’t stop praising God in the midst of his Sermon that confirmed and birthed so many on the inside of me. Just as Apostle Mom, through the Holy Spirit, spoke into my heart, soul and spirit as Daughter back in 2000, 10 years later, her Son–my Beloved Pastor Joel–had now spoken the next level Sermon into my humbled life that sealed the connection for me to him as a Spiritual Father! Hallelujah, Glory to God!!! I cannot tell you how overwhelmed, grateful and spiritually full I was when I walked out of the doors of my church home–The City of Praise–on yesterday.

I pray and desire the same Fatherhood relational Love for you–into every place of worship, every home, every Son or Daughter of the King of kings & Lord of lords!
