Ruby Jeanette says...

I am a sister of Rizpah. Her story leds us to take the lemons that life throws at us and make lemonade. That's how wonderful life is when you know that God takes care of everthing. He will make your life sweet and refreshing.

You Are Welcome!

Thank you for visiting.
This blog is purposed to speak to a group of people who are mostly ignored, unless they have achieved a fair amount of notoriety in some area. If you are a Christian Woman with no particular visible gifts, please visit us often...We need to talk.

I am currently working on some other things that I would like to share with you in the future, but until that time please enjoy this blog for now.

Kingdom Greetings!

I am pleased that you have found SISTER RIZPAH'S PRAYER CLOSET. It is our prayer that you receive encouragement and empowerment during your visit.

We are a Christ-centered ministry with a global mandate. Our ultimate goal is that you are enriched with Truth, motivated for success and revolutionized by the message of the Kingdom. When we ventured to create this online avenue, YOU were our focus. As you explore our ministry, our hope is that God catapults your spiritual and natural existence into extraordinary dimensions.

This page is here to touch and motivate the women of God to take part in Kingdom building, many who feel that they have nothing to offer may find that God has given you and entrusted you with enough power through the Holy Spirit to turn the world up side down.

My hope and prayer is, to show you how to take what you now have and use it to build all that the Master has placed in your heart.

Rizaph was a woman with nothing to work with; she used what God had given her to do all that she could in an impossible situation.

Please read Rizpah's Story in 2nd SAMUEL 21:1-14 I encourage you to make preparations to, "Enlarge the place of your tent. May the Lord increase your quality of life through this visit with us.”

Discussion: A Lesson in Faith

Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Having that NOW faith is the essential component to receiving what it is that God has for you and you only, many times in our lives when we are faced with tremendous problems, pain and doubt we feel cut off or blocked from receiving the blessings of God.

When speaking about pain I do mean real pain (not perceived pain) when there is no one to turn too, wouldn’t it be nice to have directions or someone/something to point you to a place that can help you and to share with you how taking action or using your faith will recover you of your pain, disappointment, heartache and suffering.

Not everyone will send you to the Holy Bible for encouragement, you will not always be told to stand still and see the Salvation of the Lord as God told Moses when the Israelites was faced with insurmountable problems and there was only one solution, that was to either drown in the sea, turn and fight or to let God fight for them they choose the latter. You can check it out for yourself. I have tried my faith in God many times in the past that's how I know that it works if you will follow directions. Believe God for everything that you need and he will pull you through any situation that you are in if you can stand the pull.

Do as Rizpah did when there was nothing else to do Rizpah did what she could she stayed the course and watched over her children until others took notice and came and rescued the body’s for burial.

2 Samuel 21:8-14

8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:

9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.

10 And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.

11 And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.

12 And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabeshgilead, which had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:

13 And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.

14 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was intreated for the land.
