One out of every three women will experience a cancer diagnosis in her lifetime.  Someone just received a cancer diagnosis today.

Negative Prayer or Positive Prayer.... Which will you choose??

Psalms 31: 14 But I trust in you , O LORD, I say, "You are my God." Thursday's Inspiration and Meditation Listen to:   He Has His Hands On You- Marvin Sapp  (Youtube) Meditate on:  Hebrews 11:6   Without faith no one can please God. Anyone who comes to God must believe that He is real and that He rewards those who truly wants to find Him.  New Century Version    When life seems unfair, which way will you turn? Try prayer! Prayer is a universal practice. We are human, but we are also spiritual beings. There is a yearning in each of us to reach out and connect with our heavenly Father. When we pray, we transcend our humanity. We have been created in the image of God. We are, therefore, instinctively spiritual. Even those who have had no exposure to a religious background, still feel that natural impulse within their heart to communicate with our Creator.   So, no matter what you are facing in your life , turn...

Today it's US, Tomorrow it may be YOU.... Help US to PRAY! James 5:16 "Pray for each other so that we may be healed"

FAST AND FURIOUS WEDNESDAY Mark 9:29  So He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting." Wednesday's Inspiration and Meditation Listen to: The Prayer - Donnie McClurkin & Yolanda Adams Meditate on: Hebrews 11:6   Without faith no one can please God. Anyone who comes to God must believe that He is real and that He rewards those who truly want to find Him. NCV In the book of Mark chapter 9:7 - 29 , there is a story about a man and his son. His son had been sick since birth with epileptic like symptoms. The father described his son as having a mute spirit. The disciples prayed, but the problem was yet unresolved. They were unable to cast out the unclean spirit. When Jesus took control of the situation, he told the told the father, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."  The bible says that Jesus commanded the unclean spirit to come out of him and enter him no more. The spirit responded by leavin...

GOD, These burden's are too heavy! Please Help...

I Peter 5:7   Casting the whole of your care (all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all) on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. AMP Tuesday's Inspiration and Meditation Listen to:   How He Love Us- Kim Walker Meditate on:  1 John 4:16-18 We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love.. There is no fear in love (dread that does not exist), but full grown (complete, perfect) loves turns fear out of doors and expels ever trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thoughts of punishment and he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love. On yesterday morning, I was out walking alone at the park. It was early, there was only a few people already out. I looked at the sky, the great expanse in all its beauty and I began to praise God. He is so amazing! Then, I began to talk to the Lord and share that which was on my heart. Some of the things I shared had b...

WHO ARE YOU? You are a treasure...fearfully and wonderfully made...

Psalms 139:13-14  You made my whole being; you formed me in my mother's body. I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way. What you have done is wonderful. I know this very well. NCV Monday' Inspiration and Meditation Listen To: I know who I am - Israel & New Breed Meditate On: Psalms: 139: 1-3   Lord, you have examined me and know all about me. You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know my thoughts before I think them. You know where I go and where I lie down. You know thoroughly everything I do. Great day and welcome to Pink Treasures blog! I am Deborah Tulay, the CEO and Founder of the God inspired PINK Treasures Foundation . Several months ago, God spoke to me two words, the first was "TREASURE" and later the word "PINK". I did not understand at that time what He was saying but He later revealed the mission to me. The overall mission of Pink Treasures Foundation is to i...

I was at a place called DECISION...I felt as if I was all alone to work it out...

John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. KJV Friday Meditation and Inspiration Listen to: It Could Be Worse   James Fortune  (YouTube) Meditate on: Colossians 1:16   For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers; all things were created by Him, and for Him. On this date last year, I had my first visit to the oncologist. The oncologist is the doctor that actually uses medications to rid your body of cancer. Everything that I had read about chemotherapy and heard about it did not sound good. Chemotherapy is a toxic material that if spilled on the skin could cause severe burns. Some of the ingredients were also used in "mustard gas" in the time of war. Some people told me that chemo was poison and I should not consider using it at all in my treatment plan.  I wa...

What is a TRIAL? ..... TEST REALLY INVADE ALL LIVES

John 16:33  These things I have spoken to you, that in me ye might have peace. In this world, you shall have many trials and tribulations. But be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world. Thursday Inspiration and Meditation: Listen to: I'm Trading My Sorrows- Women of Faith (YouTube) Meditate on: James 1:2 My brothers and sisters, when you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience. Trials are adverse circumstances that God allows to occur for our good and His glory. One of the most difficult realities we must face in life is that none of us is immune to life's trials and tribulations. As long as we live in the earth, there is no escaping them. Trials are test that invade our lives. You are either in a trial, on your way to your trial, or just coming out of a trial... We often wonder, why a good and loving God would allow us to go through such things as the death of a ch...

PRAYER STILL WORKS!

FAST AND FURIOUS WEDNESDAY Mark 9:29    So He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting." Wednesday Inspiration and Meditation Listen to: Prayer Still Works - Vanessa Bell Armstrong Meditate on: Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. In the book of Mark chapter 9:7 - 29, there is a story about a man and his son. His son had been sick since birth with epileptic like symptoms. The father described his son as having a mute spirit. The disciples prayed, but the problem was yet unresolved. They were unable to cast out the unclean spirit.

EMOTIONS!!!!!! BENT BUT NOT BROKEN

Luke 13:10-13 Jesus was teaching  in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day. A woman was there who, for eighteen years, had a evil spirit in her that made her cripple. Her back was always bent; she could not stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, "Woman you are free from your sickness." Jesus put his hands on her,  and immediately she was able to stand up straight and began praising God.   New Century Version Tuesday's Inspiration and Meditation Listen to: Total Praise- Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir (YouTube) Meditate on: Psalms 21:1-2 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. KJV This text truly shows the compassion of Jesus. Although, he was in the presence of thousands it did not stop him from taking the time to meet the needs of this woman. A spirit had attached itself to this woman. This spirit had weighed her down for eighteen years. This could have...

FAITH WORKS WHEN YOU WORK IT! Twelve long years of bleeding....

Mark 5:33-34  Jesus said to her, "Dear woman, you are made well because you believed. Go in peace; be healed of your disease." New Century Version I hope you're having a Marvelous Miraculous Monday ! God is the same today, yesterday, and forever more. He is still a miracle working God, Hallelujah! Today we are interviewing a woman that had been sick with an issue of blood for twelve years. Name:  Certain Woman   Illness: Consistent bleeding for twelve years Treatments:   Doctors have attempted unsuccessfully to stop the bleeding. Treatments are exhausted. The woman was called a "certain woman" because she was a forgotten woman. After being unclean according to the Jewish culture for twelve long years, her interaction with her family and friends was almost nonexistent. She had spent all the money she had going from doctor to doctor, but they could not heal her. The doctors had clearly shaken their heads and told her that they had done all they cou...

THE EYE OF THE STORM

  Genesis 7:11-12  When Noah was six hundred years old, the flood started. On the seventeenth day of the second month of that year the underground springs split open, and the clouds in the sky poured out rain. The rain fell on the earth for forty days and forty nights.  FRIDAY INSPIRATION AND MEDITATION Listen to:   I Told The Storm     Greg O'Quin  'N Joyful Noize Meditate on: Matthew 8:24-27  A great storm arose on the lake so that waves covered the boat, but Jesus was sleeping. His followers went to Him and woke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! We will drown!" Jesus answered, "Why are you afraid? You don't have enough faith. Then Jesus got us and gave a command to the wind and the waves, and it became completely calm. The men were amazed and said, "What kind of man is this? Even the wind and waves obey Him!" When it rains, it pours. This is an old cliche' that feels true when trials come our way. It seems like it is one thing after ...

The verdict is in "HOW YOU "SEE" A THING DOES MATTER!"

I Kings 19: 3 And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba... Thursday Inspiration and Meditation Listen to: Amazing God   William Murphy III (YouTube) Meditate on: Matthew 9:21 "If I only touch His garment I will get well." Elijah the prophet was a powerful man of God. He literally accomplished many great exploits in honor of God. When Elijah told the King Ahab that it would not rain; the heavens shut up and it ceased to rain for three years. God used Elijah to announce His judgement to the people of Israel and to bring punishment to the nation. Elijah was all alone when he stood on Mt. Carmel among 450 prophets of Baal, giving the people visual proof of the weakness of their god. Elijah called fire down from heaven-and then directed the execution of Baal's priest. He showed that Jehovah-God, the God of heaven and earth, is all powerful. It took courage for Elijah to confront a king, then stand before hundreds of false prophets and c...

PRAYER + FASTING = RESULTS This Prayer is Personal!

FAST AND FURIOUS WEDNESDAY Mark 9:29    So He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting." In the book of Mark chapter 9: 17 - 29, there is a story about a man and his son. His son had been sick since birth with epileptic like symptoms. The father described his son as having a mute spirit. The disciples prayed, but the problem was yet unresolved. They were unable to cast out the unclean spirit. When Jesus took control of the situation, he told the told the father, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."  The bible says that Jesus commanded the unclean spirit to come out of him and enter him no more. The spirit responded by leaving and the boy was healed, delivered, and set free. Jesus, when asked by the disciples why  they were unable to cast out the spirit, said, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting." This scripture is our reference for "Fast and Fur...

THOUGHT SEEDS SOWN PRODUCES.......... What are you thinking about?

Proverbs 23:7 "As a man thinks, so is he. Jesus teaches us to worship Him and to love Him and that includes our minds. The ability to think is not a small matter to God. It is vitally important because we literally become what we think. Our character is a result of what we think, and it is the complete sum of all our thoughts.  A gardener cultivates his plot, and keeps it free from weeds. He works hard to grow those things that he intended when he purchased seeds. So likewise, we must tend to the garden of our mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts, and cultivating a mind conducive to living the God kind of life, which involves health and healing. The soul, which houses our thoughts, will, and emotions attracts that which it secretly harbors. It may be the things that it loves, or the things that it fears. Job said in the bible, "The thing I have feared the most has come upon me." Every thought seed sown or allowed to fall into the mind, and ...

IT'S MIRACULOUS MONDAY! Meet Lisa. Cancer metastasized to her neck and chest......

  2 Corinthians 4: 7 - 10 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpasssing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.  Marvelous Miraculous Monday to YOU! I am on a mission to Live Life on PURPOSE and that involves completing the assignment God has given me. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in May of 2012, God birthed a passion inside of me for women that are facing cancer and other health challenges. I am an advocate both in the spiritual and in the natural for women that have been diagnosed with cancer and other health challenges. Pink Treasures believes that although you may be on a journey to wellness, that does not define you. You are indeed a valuable treasure, and we affirm th...

A MOTHER'S DAY PRAYER FOR YOU!

PROVERBS 31:28-30 Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all." Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. This is a special day!! Although on Sundays I don't usually post, I wanted to let you know how much of a wonderful mother you are. As mothers, we wear so  many hats. And on your journey to health and wellness, sometimes things change. But know beloved, this is only for a season and this too shall pass. I salute you,  honor you, and love you Mother!  I declare Blessings and Favor over your life, in Jesus name! Listen to: HOSANA - Kirk Franklin  (YouTube) Meditate on: Psalm 139:14  I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!  Father, in Jesus name, I thank you for My Sister on this Mother's Day! ...

TURN YOUR FAITH LOOSE!

Hebrews 10: 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. Every since we were children, we have been taught to use our five senses. We were led to believe, through seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, and feeling we could identify with anything. In the bible we read, we walk by faith and not by sight. The things that we need to happen in our lives will not be based on the element of our five senses. It will be because of our faith!  Today, God wants to remove restrictions that hold us bound when we believe only in that which is associated with our five senses. When we pray about an issue, be it sickness, marriage, finances, children, job, or other, we must first use the specific scripture. Find scripture in the bible that speaks specifically to what you are experiencing and begin to confess that passage of scripture over your life. We must then believe it by faith. When our faith is released it requires a corresponding action on...

BELIEVE, CONFESS, AND RECEIVE!

John 15: 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.  I remember the day like it was yesterday. The weather was beautiful outside. I got off from work early, picked up my son, and headed to the Women's Diagnostics Center. It was May 18, the Friday before Mother's Day. So, why women all over the nation were planning Mother's Day festivities. I was waiting to hear my fate. It was on that day, shortly after four in the afternoon, that I received the diagnosis. It was breast cancer. I could not believe it! Me and cancer in the same sentence.... Unbelievable. A few weeks later, I shared my prognosis with one of my closest friends. She began to cry. I asked her why she was crying. I am sure it had a lot to do with the fact that our co-worker had passed away a year earlier following a breast cancer battle. I asked her not to cry. My words to her were, "When they look again it will be melted or dissolved." ...

Faith + Hope = Renewed Strength You can HOPE AGAIN!

2 Corinthians 1: 10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us. On Him we have set our hope that He will continue to deliver us. When I was a little girl I remember riding in the car with my siblings and cousins, we would play a game; the object of the game was to be the first one to identify the nicest, biggest house or the fanciest car. I could would hear us yelling throughout the ride.... "That's my house!" "That's my car!" As children, we had big dreams. We saw ourselves living in nice homes, driving nice cars, and enjoying a great life. We also dreamed of a life of good health. We believed we would live to see old age like we witnessed from our grandparents or other relatives. When we were children, we could believe God for anything! When we were sick, we believed through the TLC and prayer of our parents; we knew would be fine. Then we grew up and began to see life differently. When obstacles stood between us and fulfilling...

JEHOVAH-ROHI "The Lord Our Shepherd"

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1 Sometimes in life we face a dilemma, and we have absolutely no clue of what we should do. On my first visit to the surgeons office, he shared with me his thoughts on the best way to treat the cancer in my breast. This was the same doctor that performed my sister's surgery, however, his recommendations for me were not the same. The entire time that he was speaking to me, I was praying. I felt inadequately prepared to make decisions governing my own body. He performed a lumpectomy on my sister about a year prior to my visit. But because of the nature of the tumor and the fact that it had spread to several areas throughout my breast this would not be the case for me. Therefore, a lumpectomy was not an option for me. My doctor believed it would take a series of lumpectomies and would leave my breast totally disfigured. He suggested that I consider having a mastectomy instead. His rationale was two-fold; it would elimina...

EL SHADDAI "God the All-Sufficient One"

"I AM El Shaddai (Almighty God) walk before Me and be blameless. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly." Genesis 17: 1 - 2   Every time you see the name Jehovah used, it always carries the unconditional fact that Jehovah is God. He is Eternal, Creator, Sovereign, and Holy. The name El Shaddai speaks to God's ultimate power over all. It presents Him as being all-sufficient, all-seeing, all-knowing and all-powerful. Therefore, there is nothing that He cannot do, nor is there anything that catches Him by surprise. He already knew you would experience the health challenge before it happened and has provided a remedy.  He is the one who creates and sustains life. It is in Him that we live, are able to move about, and exist. The Names of God shows God's character, His ways, and what God means to each of us as human beings. In the bible, the names of God are like miniature portraits and promises of Him to us. Each of the Fat...
