ARMOR UP!!

GRADUATION!
As I was standing in the choir on Sunday worshipping with my Brothers & Sisters in Christ, I noticed something round and red lying on the floor right in front of me. At the end of the church service, I bent down to pick it up and saw that it was a “Graduation” token that had been dropped during the Graduation ceremony that had been held for our preschool students.
I immediately felt the Lord place a spiritual meaning upon the word “Graduation!” I hear the Lord saying that many are going through a time of graduation to the deeper things of God. Many have walked the path of learning and training in the ways of God and are ready to “level up.” Beloved of God, some of the training and molding and shaping has been difficult…but God has used it all for our good…to bring us to a place of being more like Him.
It’s time to lay aside all those things that are holding you back from being all that God has called you to be. And yes…some of those things are good…but God wants you to make room for His best. Don’t settle for less!!
Are you ready to don the robe/mantle that the Lord has been holding for you for such a time as this? Are you ready to take that walk across the stage of life and accept the call of God upon you?
Fast Food or Feast?
A week ago, I was praying for my upcoming Adult Sunday School Class. I was trying to figure out how I could stay “on schedule” with my self-imposed timeline for our study.
I’m not very good at staying on a schedule…mainly because I let the Lord take over and I find myself talking about things I had not planned to talk about. And hearing the praises and prayer needs of the group and taking time to pray.
I had been praying about this for a few days and I found myself continuing to pray on the way to church. I was almost at church and I heard the Lord say, “My Word is not fast food!”
I immediately had a vision of grabbing something to eat on the way out of the door…instead of sitting down at the table and having my attention on what I was eating.
It is very difficult to digest food on the run. Meat especially needs to be chewed and digested fully. Brothers and Sisters, if we want the “meat” of the Word, we need to take the time to chew thoroughly and let it digest!
Oh Lord, I don’t want to grab your Word on the run! I want to take time to meditate on it; to hear what You desire me to hear; to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal greater understanding so I may walk in Your Word! Help me, Lord, to not rush ahead or lag behind in my teaching of Your Word. I desire to be in step with You! Thank You, Lord, for Your Word! May we never take it for granted, but treasure the truths contained within it. Your Word is a feast that will fill us and strengthen us and guide us in the days ahead. Help us to move on from milk to partaking of solid food. (Hebrews 5:13). Amen!
PENTECOST!
May the fire of the Holy Spirit burn in us and through us!! All for Your glory, God!!🔥🔥
Happy Mother’s Day!

“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.”
Proverbs 31:25-26 NIV
MAY…
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)
May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(1 Thessalonians 5:23)
May your love abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God! (based on Philippians 1:9-11)
🙏Praying for you, dear Brothers & Sisters…🙏
DO NOT FEAR!
Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
IT’S TIME TO SHINE, CHURCH!! BE FEARLESS, BE BOLD, AND TAKE JESUS INTO ALL THE WORLD!!!!
RESET!
April 3, 2024
I heard the word “reset” in my spirit yesterday. I began seeking the Lord about the interpretation of the word. When I woke up this morning, I felt like the Lord was giving me greater insight into the word I was given:
The world is broken. The government is broken. The church is broken. The body of Christ is trying to fulfill My mandates and will for the Kingdom with a body that has broken body parts. The body is having a hard time focusing on Me and My kingdom because of the pain and disfunction of the parts that are not in alignment.
It is time for the broken bones of the body of Christ to be reset. It will be painful…but it is necessary in order to become realigned and healed. Some parts have been broken for so long that you have adapted and believe that is how it should be…that nothing is wrong. You have gotten used to the weakened functioning and think it is “normal.”
Get ready and trust Me to realign you to walk in My strength, My health, and My will as you go forward with a fully functioning body. Welcome the healing process! It’s okay to feel uncomfortable as I mold and shape you into the vessel I have called you to be. The reset must happen!!
Submitted to the body of Christ for prayer and discernment… Tina K. Roach
