Good day to all of you.
I wanted to start this Blog Post with one of Merriam-Webster's definition of 'death-sentence':
Death Sentence: An infliction or a situation that is considered to be fatal.

Tomorrow, May 6th, 2024, is my birthday, which makes today, May 5th, the eve of my birthday.
Now while every day that my eyes open and I am gifted with another day of life from God, I count as a blessing, being alive on this particular birthday is a really big deal to me.
It is a big deal to me because I am so healthy, in mind and body, and I am in very good spirits (glory to God!). I am also blessed. I am flourishing. I am in a good place spiritually as well as in my relationship with God, and I have so much peace, and I have love in my heart, as well as I am loved, with a genuine love.
This birthday is also a really big deal to me because I am not around anyone who is not for me (no phony energy/no jealous spirits), and all of this came about (God did all of this) after I survived a death sentence in mid-December 2023, where I was deliberately given deadly poison and I almost died. Not to mention, to-date, that I have also survived (I am surviving) many other ways in which my enemies/haters/Satan has tried to kill me. So yes, this particular birthday, in 2024, is a really big deal to me, and I am grateful to God for it.
I am writing this Blog Post very early in the morning, even before eating breakfast, and it is something that I normally do not do, but I was compelled to do so today because God spoke to me all through the night. I was so tired that I was not able to stay awake and engage with Him. I kept falling back asleep, but I heard everything that He said to me.
I actually wish that I had got up and wrote the messages down (the very words that God spoke to me), which is something that I used to always do, because I do tend to forget sometimes. I like to be able to recall the exact details, word for word, of God's messages to me. There was one point in time that I used to keep a small note pad on the table near my bed for this very reason. I am going to start doing that again.
Meanwhile, God told me that what He promised me, that He was going to do it. He said, "I said it, and I am going to do it". And to that I say, amen!
God also told me that He has so many surprises for me, meaning, things that He never once told me about... things that He never promised me... things that I never even asked for/prayed for. I am looking forward to these surprises. And just so you know, I have no evidence of any of this. All I have is God's word. Meanwhile, as I type this, this particular Scripture comes to my mind:
Ephesians 3:20: God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we ask or think.
In addition to what God told me, He also showed me a glimpse of some of the things that awaits me, and I was in awe. I really was. I am looking forward to it all happening and I hope that it happens very soon because this situation that I am currently in has been going on for far too long (it is going on six months now), without me receiving information or anything regarding the crimes that were committed against me or anything else. All of these months, I have not heard anything from anyone, all the while my life has been seriously altered and compromised.
God gave me no indication of when I will move into the things that He showed me so clearly last night. I will, however, still celebrate and make the best of my birthday, starting today, on the eve of my birthday. Even if celebrating only means basking in the peace that I have.
Now that may sound like a small and insignificant thing to some people, but peace is very important, and lot of people do not have it. Peace is golden... to me. Peace only comes from God and with God. You cannot have peace outside of God.
So yes, peace is very important, and the devil knows it, which is why the devil is always after my peace (and your peace) every single day, all day. Pay attention. But you see, I have already served the devil (and all of my haters/my enemies) notice that there is absolutely nothing, and I do mean nothing, that they can do/that Satan can do to rob me of my peace or even interrupt my peace. It feels so good to have finally arrived at such a place, and my arrival to this place came with a change in my perspective. God shifted my perspective about the way I view the situation.
One thing is for certain is that my haters/my enemies/Satan remind me every day, throughout the day, that I am very important and that I am very valuable, and that I am a threat to the kingdom of darkness. Yes... I am reminded everyday of what I already know about myself. I know exactly who I am.
You see, the fact is: Nobody goes after a loser. Nobody hates on a loser. Satan does not go after losers. Satan does not try to destroy a loser's life or end a loser's life, for why would he? Why should he?
In the same way that a thief does not go after that which is not valuable. Do you ever hear on the news about a thief breaking into a costume jewelry store? No, you do not. Thieves break into and rob jewelry stores that have expensive diamonds and other valuable jewelry in it.
So, I thank you, my haters/my enemies/Satan, for reminding me every single day, that I am all of that, and that I have a prize inside of me... That I have something that which is very valuable inside of me, and that is the anointing from God. Because Satan knows that with that anointing comes a great deal of power and authority, as well as the favor and protection of God over my life. Amen!
Meanwhile, these days, I find it very amusing how far "they" go in their attempt to steal my peace... to interrupt it. It be so funny to me that it is a wonder that I don't burst out in laughter throughout the day.
I know all of the devil tactics. I do. And they are so tired and pathetic and so very weak.
It is important that you become familiar with the enemy's tactics as well, so that you can put up a defense; so that you can guard your mind because it is very important that we maintain a healthy mind, because it is with our mind that we serve God.
Guard you mind by any means necessary, even if it means restricting or limiting certain individuals access to you.
We can only maintain a healthy mind my guarding it from negativity and evil, as well as by not believing the lies of the enemy, but instead believing the word of God and His promises, and always only focusing on these things.
We maintain a healthy mind by also filtering out what we allow ourselves to think about and meditate on; what thoughts and ideas that we allow to fester in our minds. Be conscious of the things that you focus on.
I urge you to keep your mind on God and remember this Scripture:
Thou [God] will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee [Him]: because he trusteth in thee [God]. - Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV)
So... what do I want for my birthday?
For my birthday, I want what God promised to me, but more than that, I want to know something (I need to know something). Something like, when this all is going to be over (how many more seasons am I going to spend like this and in this trauma-filled building and apartment that I hate, as it is not a home). And for my birthday, I want (and need) some good news regarding my small business, Formula B Solutions Strategic Program Designers & Consulting Services.
Yes... that is all I want for my birthday, and it all means more to me than any cake or ice cream or material gift, or the most lavish party.

Be blessed everyone and enjoy your day. And to anyone who has a birthday coming up in this month of May, I wish you a very happy birthday and I hope that you get the things that you want, and I also hope that you take a moment on that day and thank God for it.
Be encouraged. God loves you.
Love and peace,
Yolanda Billingslea (Ms. B)
