00:00-3:00 Prayer - Covering any person that might need a little encouragement 

Marie's Interpretation of a Queen 

Topic Scripture :

Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Queen is so much than what we see on the outside. Setting our value - being beautiful on the inside and out .

6:00- What does it mean to step into the shoes of a queen -Do you have any of these characteristics if not you might be using the word incorrectly.

Leader, patience, servant - everything starts with your heart 

Real , genuine, loving in-spite of... knowing that what comes from the heart reaches the heart.... 

Matthew 15:18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them.

Respected and HEALED, Uplifting  ... ( Sit with women who are healed the conversation is different ) 

13:25-How do you walk in your purpose as a Queen...

Only by the grace of God &prayer and treating my purpose like a mom treating her new born baby ...

know who she is, whose she is and where she is headed and even through there heartaches they trust in God to restore the Queen back to her position  ....

20:00 Ending in prayer ( Your life is purposefully planned by God) 

Marie Maxie gives a dynamic example of what it means to have the spirit of preparedness as it relate to Jesus. During this conversation Marie explains that women prepare for a lot of things, weddings, birthday parties, new job, work, concerts, cruises, going out, traveling, and even date night, there is no preparation is too big or too small to talk about.  However, she saves the best for last ending with the most important event we can prepare for and that is the day (we are in no hurry for it) we meet the Bridegroom Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. WOW! Ephesians 5:27New International Version 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

5:00 Are you holier-than-thou-

The world is so backwards that it's easy to get caught up in doing the wrong thing  

10:00 - Going from people pleasing to God pleasure

19:34 There are are so many things that can keep you from being close to perfect but the one that keeps most women ( including ME) are the feelings of hurt and unforgiveness, its so hard carrying unforgiveness around or even the condemnation spirit can become an impossible burden to bear alone) Marie compares many of the circumstances that we face to the main event or sports event that you love to go see, you prepare weeks in advance, save your money to buy all the right clothing get their early just to ensure your seats are right but when it comes to going to church just the thought of waking just a little earlier to get their on time can be overwhelming  It's so funny the things that we are willing to endure for an event that we would never tolerate at church. 

32:14 One apple can spoil the the whole bunch 

You can either be the person that keeps it real can or keep it Real FAKE- Its so many many ways to please God it doesn't have to look like any body else praise but what ever you do must be from your heart and must intentionally come from your heart ( No more lip service )

40:00

Let God take center stage stop taking up God's time... 

50:00

Ending in a POWERFUL prayer 

We Do Not OWN the Rights to any of the songs but we love this artist
