Sunrise Devotion Creates a Stairway to Heaven
We experienced an awesome move of God’s Spirit for the kick-off of Boost In Your Bathrobe!
What’s Boost In Your Bathrobe? Discover it here…
Truly an amazing start to a new practice that’s proving to be electrifying!
Women called in from all over, including Washington DC, Baltimore Maryland, Atlanta Georgia, Chicago, New Jersey and more.
The theme for this month is Prosperity. Here’s some of what unfolded in this awesome space of prayer, praise and inspiration:
Monday:
We were blessed to have Minister Danielle Willard of One Mind Life Services as our guest.
Minister Danielle is a dear friend and a faithful early morning prayer partner. She’s a self-described Spiritual Enthusiast and has a growing practice of clients who visit her for Cranial Sacral Visionary therapy. It’s a transformative experience, I’ve enjoyed a session with her myself.
Her words spoke to the deepest parts of us as she expressed the intimate connection between faith and prosperity, quoting from a much loved book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill (one of my all-time favorite must-reads).
Thank you Minister Danielle for your words of wisdom, your prayers and your enthusiasm!
Tuesday:
Can a woman forget her own baby? God says "I will never forget you."
We spoke of Isaiah 49:15-16, which reads:
“(15) …Can a woman forget her own baby and not love the child she bore? Even if a mother should forget her child, I will never forget you… I can never forget you! I have written your name on the palms of my hands.”
The Amplified Bible reads that God has tattooed a picture of us on each hand.
When you walk in the world knowing that God has a tatoo of you on each hand, your entire paradigm shifts, and your entire world responds.
God could never–would never–forget you.
Walk with that truth today.
Wednesday:
We had as our special guest Minister Cheryl Holder, a current ministerial student at Inner Visions Institute for Spiritual Development, a dear friend, and my faithful morning prayer partner.
Minister Cheryl blessed us with the reminder that our thoughts both rule and create our world. Surrender is key when working with thoughts of worry, fear, doubt and any other energy we don’t desire and that blocks prosperity. Her words: surrender those thoughts by giving them up to God.
She drew a distinction about surrender: it isn’t giving up, it’s giving up our unwanted thoughts to God.
Thank you Minister Cheryl, for your wisdom and for sharing vital truths with us that have the power to shape our lives into what we desire.
Thursday:
We spoke of having a willing womb for God. Each of us is pregnant with divine seed. If nurtured, it grows into something that can be birthed into the world as a gift to our fellow walkers on the path.
What seed are you carrying? Is is a book? A song? A ministry? A business? An organization? Whatever it is, are you nurturing your seed, allowing a space for it to grow, feeding it and cherishing it?
When it’s time to birth your growing seed (God will tell you when the time is right), birth it into the world, giving it all you’ve got. Then care for the baby. Provide it with everything it needs to grow healthy and strong. One day, it will stand on its own and walk about as a living testament to what God can do through a willing womb.
Offer God a willing womb today by choosing to nurture the seeds that are planted in your spirit; the seeds that only you can birth into the world.
Friday:
Friday’s are for fun on Boost In Your Bathrobe and no more fun could have been had than what we experienced with Mother Hunch! Mother Hunch (a comedic personality created and performed by Evangelist Lynnette Lynn Horton of the Peoples Hope Ministries) is that cantankerous old woman in church whom many of us know and are learning to love.
Mother Hunch (who turned 87 years of age at each of her last 14 birthday celebrations) blessed us with the advice that to have prosperity, we need Vodka. She taught us that Vodka solves three problems in one: it keeps you warm (she turned off the heat and uses Vodka to keep warm), it quenches your thirst, and it makes your gums strong so they’ll hold your teeth in place.
She also spoke of prosperity in the form of having lots of friends. When I asked what kind of friends we want to seek, she replied: “Vodka drinking friends. That way, you can sip and pass.”
Thank you Mother Hunch for your invaluable words of wisdom. We love you.
Evangelist Lynnette Lynn Horton of the People’s Hope Ministries blessed us with a word about the lasting effects of meeting God early in the morning for prayer and devotion. She takes pen and paper with her when she enters her sacred space in the morning, where she receives vital instructions for the day, along with insights and divine ideas, which she captures on paper so as to fulfill the instructions as they were received.
Which begs the question: Are you paying close attention to the daily instruction, guidance and direction you receive so as to follow it fully?
Thank you Evangelist Lynn, for blessing us with potent prayer, and for the parting blessing you gave to each woman who stated her name while exiting the call. You are a blessing and a gift.
That’s the recap for this week’s Boost In Your Bathrobe. As you can see, it was a phenomenal experience.
Boost In Your Bathrobe started out as a 15 minute call, and it’s a pleasure to announce that it will expand to 20 minutes of prayer, praise and inspiration each weekday morning at 6:00 AM, starting Monday, December 8th, 2008. Just dial in!
The dial in number is: 641-715-3300.
The pin is: 480031#
We look forward to your presence in our sacred circle each weekday morning.
Until then, many rich blessings,
Minister VAL

Boy am i smiling today! Two reasons…the energy was really high on the call and I am carrying that through the day, and the most important reason… I realize I am not a cry baby after all. I had no idea so many toxins were released from the body through crying. I guess that makes me healthier than I thought. (Now, to work on the breathing!)What a way to start the day!

Boost in your bathrobe is truly a divine vision. It is such a blessing! and boost is the perfect word because it gets you going, it holds you accountable and gives you a reason not to sleep that extra 20 minutes because you don’t want to miss out on the blessing once you have been in one session. Ladies, know that this is prosperity! Prosperity in the best form, Spiritual prospertity! Share the wealth and invite others to join. Yes, especially that one you just thought about not inviting and watch that blessing return to you ten-fold and better. The Christ in me see and love the Christ in all of you. Namaste”

Praise God! Boost in your bathrobe is a spiritual prescription for getting up on the right side of the bed every morning. Thank you Val for being an instrument of God’s love and for your obedience to His call on your life. It is funny that you talked about keeping it moving and prayed about health, healing and wholeness today because yesterday when my alarm went off at 5:30 am, I said, “No God, I am tired, I don’t want to get up!” But I knew I needed to get up and get in the shower before I dialed into the call. Boost in your bathrobe helped me to keep it moving with prayer and praise instead of the grudge of having to get up. Today I woke up experiencing physical exhaustion and some weirdness in my chest like my body was being symtomatic of some prior health issues, and yesterday I had gone for a follow-up breast sonogram. So when you started talking and praying about living long and healthy and denying cancer and all manner of illnesses, I was reminded that I had to keep it moving with the right mental attitude first. With that in place, my other levels of being (emotional, physical, and spiritual) would fall in line. I couldn’t even wait until the call was done; I had to post a comment before I even finished getting dressed because I am so blessed by the energy of the call and knowing that I am in the company of kindred spirits speaking, thinking, and believing our way into the manifestation of our heart’s desires. Prosperity, new beginnings … are all the bonuses/ by products of the blessing on our lives and you are an awesome all the way live woman of God reminding us of who we are and whose we are.
God bless you Valerie for keeping it moving and taking us along with you. Abundant blessings to you and your family in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Love you much,

Good morning blessed ladies,
I was blessed this morning with the opportunity to share with you about the prosperity of giving. 20 minutes is just not a lot of time when we are glorifying God but I wanted to take the time out to send blessings to Val for being the obedient daughter of God that she is. Val you have been a blessing to many people, an angel of God doing his work unceasingly. Working with teens has always been my life passion that I held in my heart, in my spirit but I didnot have the courage to step out and do it because I was so involved being the business woman that I thought was more prosperous and then God placed Val in my path to bless me with some awesome spiritual coaching towards putting my trust in God to sustain me in doing the works that he purposed me to do. I thank God for that intervention which has changed my life completely and there is no thing that I want for now because God honors my obedience and sustains me in everyway. If God has put a purpose, a new thing in your spirit then I encourage you to roll with it ladies and it will be a life changing experience that you could have never imagined. Be blessed in your new endeavor in Christ and share the love.
Peace and Love
