Fragrant Praise
My Testimony
I
Most people don't know this, but I suffer from Dyslexia.
I never saw myself as someone who could teach, or write. But the Lord began to deal with me through (ministry of praise and worship) that He wanted to use my mouth.
I don't have a singing voice. I've never played an instrument, and yet as a born-again Christian, I felt the Lord pulling me, calling me to open my mouth and speak.
I argued with Him saying, "Everything that is coming out of my mouth is nothing but terrible."
I've been a Christian over 30 years. At the beginning of my walk with Him, there were a lot of questions and doubts.
​
Long story short, The Lord used The ministry of praise and worship to open my eyes to His language of HOLY SPIRIT!
The beginning of that ministry was for me to form the ability to understand what it meant to have a tongue that spoke and to have eyes that were single.
To have the ability to have open, translucent, and brilliant eyes, was having my gaze fixed on him!
It gave a new understanding to His statement, "You are the apple of my eye".
He started showing me His gate, His road!
​
In Ephesians it says: our eyes should be enlightened.
In Luke it says: our eyes should be like a lamp or a light.”
​
And it even says that we are to have open eyes.

Proverbs 4:25
Let your eyes look directly ahead, and let your gaze be fixed straight ahead.
​
Eventually, I was like, "Okay, you know, if you have your eyes fixed on me, then I'm suppose I should have eyes fixed upon you."
​
The funny thing about dyslexia is, it causes you to be distracted by many things, especially noises. To concentrate, I have to find a quiet area to study.
During my early walk with the Lord, he began to speak to me about banners.
​
He literally had a conversation with me one day! He said, “it's not about banners Charlotte! But, I'm going to use banners to reveal something to you."
​
He was telling me that the banner represented my tongue.
​
It represented the tongue of a ready writer.
​
It represented the rudder that was in my mouth, that directs me and directs my path.​​​​​
​
Stuttering Moses fought his first battle not with his tongue, but with a rod in his hand!​​​
​
God used the banner to reveal to Moses (Jehovah Nissi) our banner!
​​
God didn’t need Moses tongue! He only needed Moses’ attention!!
​​​
In conclusion-​
​​​
If he has your tongue He has your whole body!
What is a banner, but a Holy Alter raised at attention leading the whole body as an army!
​​
Prayer
​
Let my tongue be lifted in attention as a banner extolls and magnify the Lord!
