Meet Destiny Barnes or Destiny's Decison a book by Danyelle Scroggins

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 08:20:00 +0000

Meet Destiny Barnes, the grand-daughter of Pastor Louis and Lora Barnes (the founders of Faith Temple Cathedral), born to their only daughter who served in the U.S. Military and knew Destiny would be better off raised by her parents.

Pastor Louis Barnes died and Lora Barnes wanted to make sure that not only would Destiny own Faith Temple Cathedral, but that she would one day become the First Lady of Faith Temple Cathedral. So, she put a plan into place that require Destiny to make some decisions that could very well altar her life.

Destiny grew up having everything she ever wanted and the one thing she lacked (a sibling) was solved when she connected with two other girls, Stephanie & Sheila, who had the same thing in common (no siblings). These three young women formed a bond that carried them all the way to college and through the death of Destiny's grandparents. Now they must get through Destiny's fear of making the most important decision of her life......becoming the wife of Pastor Roderick Prince Strong; as well as deal with some challenging circumstances of their very own.

It has been said, "the decisions you make have the ability to channel and change your life", and Destiny's Decision proves this statement correct. Get ready for a ride of a lifetime when you meet Destiny Barnes in Destiny's Decision coming February 14th!

CLECO Power LLC and The Maybe

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 05:43:00 +0000

So I look at my CLECO bill and see an additional $150.00 on the bill. I call to find out why and find out that my lights were turned off for one hour and I was charge an additional $150.00 on top of a restore fee. Now, the bill says, "You may be billed". So I called CLECO to find out what specifies me in the MAY BE GROUP....maybe because you are poor, maybe because you live in a black neighborhood, maybe because you let your bill get turned off, Maybe because CLECO is ripping people OFF!
So I asked, "When will I receive my money back or will I?" And the lady says, "When you disconnect your services." So my question for the execs is "If Cleco is holding my deposit, will they give it to my children once I'm dead....because aren't I going to need ELECTRICITY as long as I live and Does my money that you are holding gain interests? And HOW many times will I may be required to pay a deposit being that ...I forget to pay the thing, or I just may not have the money to pay the thing when they want me to. Boy Boy Boy...God teach me how to survive on the daylight and go to bed at night. Can I get anybody to send me and Scroggins some candles and some money?

Watch Out For Those Seeds

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 17:57:00 +0000

We must be very careful of the seeds that are planted in our minds by the enemy. We have the distinct priviledge to take charge over our thoughts; concerning whether they are good thoughts are bad thoughts. Our thoughts can take us on a journey all by themselves, but we must make sure that the journey is worth taking.

Go to www.danyellescroggins.com/danyelles-blog.html to read WATCH OUT FOR THOSE SEEDS! It is an article worth reading and I pray that you are blessed by it.

In The Living Room With Pastor Danyelle (interview with Chaplain Eunice Johnson)

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:56:00 +0000

Hi Friends,
If you want to see a fantastic article with the first African American female Chaplain at LSU Health Science Center of Shreveport, Louisiana ...go to www.danyellescroggins.com and journey over to Danyelle's Blog In The Living Room With Pastor Danyelle.

Out of all the women I know, this one particular woman is more than a dream to know. She is the purest example of Godliness and womanhood that I know. Mother Eunice, as I so affectionately call her, has been to me what Timothy's grandmother was to him. She has become one of my heroes.
Why? Because at the age when other women feel like their lives have ended, she shows you that it can just begin. With no career, no money, and no husband at the age of 48, she redirects and accepts God's purpose for her life; and this was the beginning of life. Go on over and read this article that I am sure that you will enjoy.

Sit Back And Watch God Move

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 15:42:00 +0000

Hey out there in blog land. Are you praying for God to perform a miracle in your life? I do believe that, "God is able to do the exceedingly and abundantly above all you can ask or think, according to the power that works in us" (Ephesians 3:20). So if you are praying in faith, believe God and sit back and watch God move.
I know for some of you who have thought that you were in control of your life, it's hard to turn your life over to God and wait on Him. It's hard not to try to fix and work out your problems and situations yourselves. And for those of you to whom this applies, it's okay. I was once just like you. I thought that I was in control of my life and that it was up to me to fix the problems around me. Some problems aren't meant to have a quick fix...some things are allowed to embrace our lives in order to get us to call on God. Most importantly, some problems are meant to shake us into change, elevate our faith, and establish our trust in an almighty God.
Some situations require that you just give God praise. The easiest thing for you to do right now in the midst of your storm, is praise God. And then determine to sit back and watch God move. In other words, don't let the enemy cause you to doubt what God is about to do in your life. While your sitting back, you are believing God to manifest a miracle in your life. This is the move that you're waiting for. Miracles are still happening for people who put their trust in the Lord! "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6
Is there anyone out there willing to turn their matters over to God? Is there anyone out there willing to praise God until the miracle come through? Stop weeping and start praising and God is going to do a new thing through you and for you. Be Blessed!

World's Aids Day: "Don't Do It"

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 02:00:00 +0000

I dare not let this day past before encouraging everyone to get tested! The best way to protect yourself from aids is celibacy....

Enjoy this featured poem from my book of poetry entitled House of Poems

Don't Do It

Queen, you have the sex machine
Cause without it, there would be just pipe dreams.
Just because you got it, don't make it free
Brother so happy acting like he on a shopping spree.
But you my dear holding all the hurt scars
Cause you used your sex machine like an open bar
I'm just rying to get you to realize
Just your face alone will make a brother mesmerized;
And if you really want to hypnotize,
Make him wonder what you got between your big thighs!
Don't go give it away
Day after day
And you think it's cool because you made a brotha pay.
Ain't a price tag big enough in the world
That could pay for what God gave to His girls.
Even though you got the sex machine
Sistah all you need to do is keep it real clean
And when he says, "I want you"
And you stand before the preacher
And say, "I do"
And then you let him glean
In your sex machine.

Be Blessed and always Be Safe!

Stop Wasting Time

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:20:00 +0000

As I begin my journey to promote "His Mistress or God's Daughter", it is so important for me to tell my sisters to stop wasting time. Time is an element of the atmosphere that is truly not promised to us. We only had control of the time that has past and most of us were truly wasteful. What if God says, "Based on how you've spent you time in the past, I will determine how much time you have left on Earth?" Some of us would only have a second to live.

When it comes to relationships....get rid of those that aren't profitable to you because it's a waste of your time. You know what I mean! If you are a dating a brother who clearly states that he doesn't want a wife...let go, move on. If you're wasting time with someone who spends most of his time with his wife and kids...let go, move on. If you're spending most of your time covering bruises and scars from the one you're with...let go, move on. If you spend majority of your time arguing and cussing the one you're with...let go, move on. Why waste any more time trying to fix something that was broken from the start or that doesn't want to be fixed? Why stay in something, unless God says it, that you know is doing you more harm than help? And don't lie on God and say that He wants you to stay because you don't have the courage to leave.

This doesn't only apply to the sisters, it's for my brothers too. Time is so vitally conducive to our living because if I am still living, I still have time. Nevertheless, I don't know how much time so I had better use the time I have, wisely. Umm! I'm the greatest advocate of connections. I believe that God makes connections to advance us and to test us. I also believe that with each connection I should glean and pick up all that is good and leave all that is bad. I know that all connections aren't for life and some are just to get you through the season or to your next season. So determine what the connection was for and if it's done all it can do, stop wasting time, let go and move on. Be Blessed

The Kid You Help Today, Will Praise You Later

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:37:00 +0000

On yesterday we funeralized my great-aunt. Although it was a sad occasion, it was a blessed time. We celebrated her life with stories of all she'd done. It was amazing to see people come up one by one and everyone talked so candidly of how her house was the haven for kids. As I sat listening, I remembered when adults actually took out the time to nurture not only their children but someone else children. Can you remember when?

I just wondered if my aunt knew that what she did on each day would gain her the highest praise and embed a mark in each mind concerning her? One of her grands even read Proverbs 31. How awesome will it be to become that kind of woman? So I guess my quest today is to just encourage all women to be the best woman that you can be by helping a child. We already wear a lot of hats and sometimes we do get tired but we must be reminded every now in then, "Don't get weary in well doing because in due season we will reap if we faint not!" Wear all of those hats proudly and remember even if you never live to see it on this side, you will be praise in the gates!

There are millions of children who never get the love that they deserve and need to be nurtured into successful people. So many are in homes where parents try to show their love by what they've provided and just like in marriages....that doesn't work. You can show me something but sometimes I don't get the visual unto you use spoken word. You need to say it (I love you) as you show it. Today I'm challenging every person who reads this blog to help a kid somewhere, somehow. They are truly our future and who knows, if you help them now, they'll praise you later.

Be Blessed
In Memory of Doretha Lott

Here's some info about the kids I've decided to help:
They attend the Stephens Boxing & Fitness Gym in Shreveport Louisiana. This is a place where young males go to learn to challenge their energy into something positive. The goal of the "Road To Glory" boxing team is to become successful young men who are disciplined and fit for the future and not failure. If you'd like to contribute to my choice call 318-286-5491. All of your donations are truly needed and highly appreciated. To learn more go to www.stephensboxingandfitness.com.

The Joy of the Lord (Is our Strength)

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:56:00 +0000

Good Sunday Morning!
I woke up this morning grateful and thankful that the Lord allowed me to witness another day. We often take for granted the opportunity to breathe. Earlier this week, I experienced an asthma attack and as those of you who have asthma can agree, it's not too fun. I had to find something spiritual in what I'd experienced and I came to the conclusion that God allowed so I can see just how valuable breathing is. Because I know that there is so much in store for me, the enemy has been informed that..."No weapon formed against me shall prosper."

Now, I decided to grace you with this story because whereas I was fighting for another breath, one of my neighbors tried to stop breathing by suicide on yesterday. I first got mad because the devil thought he could send his demons this close to my house. So I prayed and now I know I must go into warfare for my surroundings. As I prayed for her, I was reminded of how awesome God truly is. Had it not been for the grace of God, I probably would have lost my mind this year. But God! So, I am praying that she and those of you who are going through grab a hold to the God that heareth, healeth, and holds us tightly in His hands. There is nothing too hard for God.

Yes, I can see how troubles can become too seemingly unbearable but thank God for the "But." Here is the "But"..."Cast your cares upon me because I careth for you." God cares for you and when you come to your breaking point, this is when you must pray. Some of us won't pray until we come to a breaking point! So guess what, we have them just so the Father that loves us so much can hear from us and know that we are still depending upon Him. In all that you go through in this life, you must remember my new and fabulous quote that God gave me..."Everyday is a new day to start a new life." No matter what yesterday handed you, today is a new day to change things. When we change our minds, we change our situations and maybe that's all my neighbor or your need; a changed situation. Remember that there is nothing too hard for God even if it seems too hard for you. You got to hold on to your joy! And you can find joy when you understand that if you praise God with renewed joy, God's joy will be your strength. Be Blessed.

I'M BACK AND FIT FOR THE FIGHT!

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 14:48:00 +0000

Hello all my blog friends. I'm back and I have more equipment to fight the enemy with. These have been some trying months for my family but I believe that in order for the REVELATION that God spoke to become MANIFESTED.....We had to endure some suffering. I must tell you that the WORD (if you hide it in your heart) will keep you in times of trouble. Some days, the WORD was all we had and just like it was with GOD, it was with us.

It had been our constant prayer that GOD would purify us solely and completely and make us fit to fight for God's kings and queens. Purification came with life alterations and though some of them hurt, they have truly helped. We figured that if GOD designed a special task for only us to fulfill, our suffering broke off some things and some people in order that we may conquer our quest to do HIS WILL. GOD is perfecting and purifying the SAINTS to make us FIT for the FIGHT.

So as some of you may be going through right now at this very moment, understand it's just for who you will become. The you that GOD is perfecting, is the you that will usher in a life of peace, prosperity, and promise. So go through and when you don't know what to do....just Praise GOD, Pray to GOD, and then WAIT on GOD. Before being allowed to grace your situation, God already knew and you should have too, that not only is HE willing, but HE is able to bring you THROUGH!

Be Forever Blessed, Danyelle

The Power of Love

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 04:05:00 +0000

The power of love is so profound until it not only break down the barriers of miles; it searches as finds the connection by which it once fell away from. Love is the saturating, intoxicating, feeling that goes beyond the heart of the mind and connects to the soul of the one who loves. It invades the humans life and deepens, reconstructs, improves, and renews everything and anything that has to do with love.

Well why is love so powerful and why is it worth it? It's power came from the deeds of the Creator to love a world so much that He would give His only Son, and then is spread and displayed by a Son who hath shown the greatest of love; to lay down His life for a friend. So then love gains power in that any display of giving has a way of generating a likeness to the Creator by which we've learned that there's no restraints concerning love. It's worth it because without love we would be lifeless, selfish, and without the avenue of reconnection to a Creator who created us to love.

So it doesn't matter who you are and how much you feel that love has let you down, remember that because of love you have the distinct priviledge and opportunity to try again. Let downs that stem from love are vast opportunities to perfect love, test love, and helps one to re-evaluate the reason that they love. So no matter how many miles, how many people, how much negativity, love never fails and will always find it's way to the one who loves.

Hotel Hell

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 04:56:00 +0000

Hateful, wicked, lying deceiver
Adulterous, backbitter, unbeliever
Fornicator, false prophet, you thief
You'll perish cause of your unbelief.
Whoremongers, murderers, and all
Judgement time you'll stand a big fall;
Some of these things we've done
Thank God for His only Son.
Just because the Son was sent
Don't think that your problems are solved,
There's a bath that you must take with
Special events involved.
Don't you Go there,Hotel Hell, Don't go there!

You must first be born again
And old junk must be put out.
After a dip in heavenly water
You can begin to shout!
Your body is a bottle
That is being refilled;
There's redemption in His Blood
Ask God to do His will.
I plead you not to turn away
And die in all of your sins,
Hotel hell has plenty reservations
No money needed;Sin will get you in!
Don't you go there,Hotel Hell, Don't go there!

Get Saved & Be Blessed, Danyelle

Death Cometh: Will You Be Ready?

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 18:35:00 +0000

Every television station shows of the death of the famous. I'm really truly wondering if it's the reality that no one knew when death was coming or the fact that death came that has people the most shocked. Well, hear the voice of reason that says....death will come to each of us whether famous or never known. I am most certainly surprised when I watch the response of the death of someone with cancer versus someone who just drops their shell. It's like the cancer became the warning that death was soon to come and because of the warning, people are able to except it.

I'm blogging this today because I need you to understand that for you sake, know that no one knows when death will come to them. If we did we'd be able to live any kind of way and repent the second before death came and still be able to live again. In what we view as a perfect world this would be great but not so. We must not take advantage of the fact that God has given us right now. Life is so rewarding when we take advantage of the opportunity to consider that it is a gift and when we seek the giver of the gift, we better understand that our lives were meant to bring God glory.

Whether death comes by warning or quick, the question that truly and always matter and remain is...."Were they saved?" This word saved is a strange word with a tremendous matter. To church folks it means...did they go to church, but to real folks it means...did they get a chance to know their Creator, seek Him, know their purpose of life given by Him, and regard Him as the true and living Savior of the World.

I've had my chance to be around the saved and unsaved and I say to them both....CHANGE. To the saved we must remember to always guard our souls for an awakening enemy (sickness, hatred, sin, etc) seeks to steal or joys and belief. We must not allow the things around us to shatter the reality that when and if we drop our shells, our soul has a home not made by man's hands eternal in the heavens and the life we lived will and shall be the purest example of how God intended man to love, live, give, and grow. To the unsaved I ask...just what if you have the opportunity to live again? Just what if your belief in Jesus Christ is the one and only belief that will save you from an eternal destruction? Just what if God is truly real? Just what if there is a pit that will burn with fire that is the resting place of those who aren't saved? What if you allow the what if to penetrate your heart and you decide today to embrace the reality that God is real, He sent His son Jesus, God raised Jesus from the dead, and because of your confession by mouth and the belief in your heart...you shall be saved? Just what if it is my purpose to offer you what could be your last opportunity to believe and confess and you except it not, and die the next second? Just what if you except it and still die the next second? You'll never know until death comes and the saddest thing about death is that you can't come back to warn others.

Be Blessed

Know What You're Asking For

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 01:17:00 +0000

I had to go to a church Friday night for a first lady night! It was so nice but the truth is, being a first lady is a hard job. Whether you are Michelle Obama or Danyelle Scroggins, if you have the title of first lady....you have a job. I know women who would love to be married to a preacher or a man of true distinction. Sometimes I wonder if they really knew what it was they were asking for.

I'm referring to the looking pretty at all times, going when you don't want to, socializing with people whom you wouldn't care if you've never met, saying "Yes", when you really want to say "Heck No", and oh how the list goes on. There is nothing easy about being the first lady of anything whether it's an official office or a church. You are truly required to do so much because to whom much is given, much is required.

Unfortunately, this is true in anything you're asking for. You had better know what it is you want and research the work that it involves. The old folks use to say, "Anything worth having is worth working for." Simply means that is you work for it you can have it and if it becomes yours, you have no choice but to work it. So to all of you who have gained husbands that require you to be his partner in every sense of the matter....work hard because if you don't, some jill come lately will be more than happy to take your place.

My prayers go out to all the First Ladies in the world. May God bless you richly and remember that your good works were already predestined by God that you should walk in them. And always keep 1 Corinthians 15:58 somewhere visible. Love you all

Be Blessed Danyelle

Graduation: A Time To Let Go and Let God

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Sun, 24 May 2009 18:17:00 +0000

Jeremiah 29:11"I know the plans I have for you said the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

I'll never forget how I felt watching my first born walk across that stage last year to receive her diploma. Although it felt like a great accomplishment on both of our parts, it was also like loosing one of my very own. This is such a bitter sweet time for parents. You are so proud that your child is moving to the next level but at the same time your so worried. They won't be under your watching eye and no one will be there to enforce the laws you've created to help them perserve their integrity.

Nevertheless, we must remember that God plans far exceeds the range of our watchful eyes. He has a predesigned plan for your child and now He's the one watching them. It is always my prayer that Raiyawna "Mooney" remember God's word when she's away. My laws are disabled but God's Word is never changing. I tried to align my parenting with His word so in all, I pray that her understanding of His word will govern her heart, mind, and soul.

As you prepare to make the shift concerning you children; remember you never stop loving them as they meet new levels in their lives, you just change the strategy. You become parent-friend and you remember that God has a plan just for them. It's to prosper them and not to harm them and it's all about the next level in their lives for His glory. Good job parents, you've made it this far and God honors you for a job well done. Now, give the job back to Him and watch how your child grows into an adult.

Be blessed, Danyelle Congratulations Tyria We're Proud of You!

Walk In Wisdom

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Sun, 17 May 2009 15:09:00 +0000

Have you ever just stopped? Sometimes it is so important that we just stop. Take a look at all that you are doing and evaluate your actions according to your purpose. I know, it's so easy to get caught up in stuff that don't matter! It's also so easy to get caught up in folks whose connection is more about getting more from you, than giving to you. That's why you have to frequently stop!

Stopping helps you to make a responsive decision. Notice when you stop doing what you do, those whom you may be handicapping by being you....will begin to make some things happen for themselves. Stopping also helps you to wait on revelation. You'll be able to hear from God concerning where you are and where you need to be. During your stop, it's a chance to forget about some things, and pray about everything. Stopping also allows you to operate in wisdom. You've seen that you have already wasted time and now that you know what doesn't work for you (for your purpose), now you can walk in wisdom. Wisdom helps you to realize that it was just a season for time wasting, people chasing, and tradition catering.....and after wisdom helps you realize the time waste, it's ushers you towards time management. Wisdom helps you to number your days!!!!! It also give you the confidence through faith to do something different. When you walk in wisdom, you decide to do things not according to how you use to do them, or how other folks taught you to do them, but strictly according to how God desires you to do things; according to whom He has purposed you to be.

Now to all of you out there, if you feel like you are just spinning your wheels, if you're tired of living the same ole way, if your purpose just doesn't seem to be clear.....remember to STOP! So here's the equation: STOP + PRAY + DIVINE REVELATION + FAITH + STEP OUT= A WALK IN WISDOM!

The Soul That Never Dies

noreply@blogger.com (Danyelle) — Sat, 09 May 2009 21:12:00 +0000

I saw a corpse today that reminded me of a man I loved and knew but as I glared with tears in my eyes and pain stricken in my heart....I realize there lies the shell of a man whose soul shall never die. Not because he was such a good, kind, loving man but because he simply said, "Today, I asked the Lord to save my soul."

Words that will forever be etched in my memory along with the awesome things he did for me and my siblings growing up....words that will surely make me live each day a life in preparation for a soul that shall never die. Just on the other evening I had a dream about a deceased young man who while in the casket could find no rest. He turned and twisted as if he was fighting the sleep that was now upon him. I said in the dream why is it he can't find any rest and his mother answered and said to me, "Because he didn't prepare to die." I woke up in prayer because for the third time in the past year God has given me the same vision but a different person. I ultimately just said, "Lord, please save me and if for a lack of judgment on my part that I've forgotten to repent, please forgive me for my sins and restore me under the provision of your sacrificial grace and powerful mercy. Lord teach me to make wise decisions for each day and please save my soul so that when I sleep, I can truly be at rest."

Then folks, as I sat at the funeral today and saw a body that rested.....I heard...but what about those who aren't prepared to sleep. You know who you are and it is my goal and purpose to say to you this day...."Choose you now whom you will serve...will it be God or man?" Salvation is but a gift and it comes with no stipulations. You won't automatically do everything right, are turn into Mr. or Mrs. Goodie Two Shoe. Everyday with the help of the Spirit of God that dwells and empowers you at your first confession, you will become the manifestion of what God purposed you to be. You'll learn to live without some things, and to live whole heartedly for the right things. It takes time and a willing soul.

I fight the fight so strong and hard because it has been given to me to ensure that souls never die. So as you do, live, walk, talk, and breathe...do it with the certainty that your body is the house for a soul that will never die. Have faith in God, take care of yourself, believe in yourself, believe that all things are possible for you, repent for the things that go against the Word of God; the sins committed in your flesh, grow, learn, and remember always to pray. My lines of communication are always opened if you need information of giving your life to God through firm belief in Jesus Christ the Son of God.
