Purpose

This Ministry is a fully surrendered Holy Spirit-filled vessel. This Ministry is partnered with the Holy Spirit to fulfill the Father's purpose and desires, drawing people closer to the Father and Jesus in their walk with the Lord by helping to equip and build them up through prayer and various resources and encouraging people to take up their cross and follow Jesus.

 

This Ministry is kingdom-focused and owned by the one true almighty God. This Ministry is stewarded by whom He chooses to appoint to that position in partnership with Him. This Ministry will not need to compete with other ministries. God is more than enough, and there is more than enough room for each Ministry to exist in its fullness before the Lord.  There are many mansions in my Father's house.

 

This ministry will unite with the Father and Jesus as the head, helping to present a spotless bride and encouraging the children of God to become mature sons and daughters. We all see in part, and no one sees the whole picture apart from God. This Ministry will uplift others and move in honour, growing in the Lord's Character and producing fruits of the Spirit.

 

All the Glory, honour and praise goes to Jesus Christ. He is worthy of it all. Worthy is the lamb who was slain on the cross to pay for our sins. Hallelujah, let us turn from our ways and be about our Father's business. In Jesus' name, amen, and thank you.

Hello. My name is April Blackstaffe. I am currently the primary writer for Blue Diamond Ministries. Fourteen years ago, I married a wonderful man I met at church; we completed our family with two wonderful children who are learning to follow the Lord as He leads. We continue to grow together and serve the community through volunteering and our work.

I seek to have a deep, intimate relationship with the LORD, loving him with all my heart, mind, and soul. Through that intimacy, I can love others as I love myself.  I wish to grow abundantly in the fruits of the spirit and have a character that surpasses my calling.  Through this experience, I aim to help others achieve the same. I want to help, train, and equip the body to draw closer to Jesus through the power of my testimony and whatever words the Holy Spirit chooses to give. I pray this will first bring Glory, honor, and praise to the Father. Then, help people break through to see the gold in their lives with the LORD. I don't pretend to know much, but I am willing to share what I have learned and experienced in this walk of faith. The more you learn, the more you realize what you don't know.  I know that I am a daughter of the King, a royal priesthood, chasing after Jesus like a child learning to grow in his ways.  I am willing to pick up my cross and follow him. He paid for all our sins on the cross and rose again. He is worthy of all the Honor, praise, and Glory. May my heart forever beat with gratitude for what he has done. May my breath always return to him with praise. May my mind be renewed in him every day. His grace is sufficient, and he is more than enough. I compete with no one but myself to be a more yielded vessel than I was yesterday for His Glory, not mine.
