CHANGE AHEAD!

Tina K. Roach Christianity , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Have you noticed that a lot of changes seem to be taking place around us?

Have you noticed that changes are even taking place in your own life that maybe you weren’t expecting?

I know I have been going through a time of change/transition in the past year (and longer)…

…a time of transition in my spiritual walk. God is calling me closer, deeper, higher…

Are you feeling some of the same?
EMBRACE IT!!

God is preparing you for the days ahead. God is calling His people to join Him in even greater ways!

There may be some things and even ministry positions that He is calling you to lay down in this new season.

If He does, know that it is because He has a different ministry that He needs you to focus on in this new season.

Are we willing to lay down something that we feel is tied to our “identity?”

Are we uncomfortable stepping out into a new direction that we feel unequipped for? Do we trust God to provide everything we need to bring Him glory in the “new thing?”

Our identity is in Christ … not in our job or in a ministry.

RISE UP AND TAKE YOUR POSITION!!

…and it may be a little different than what you assumed it to be.

🙏I am praying for you! Will you pray for me?🙏

THERE IS CHANGE AHEAD!!

May We SEE, Lord!!

I am beginning to look forward to going to Walmart! LOL!

Usually it’s not something I look forward to…it’s grocery shopping or other shopping that needs to be done. And it’s usually crowded (unless I go early in the morning.)

The reason I am beginning to look forward to it is because the Lord has been having divine appointments for me.

I am finding opportunities more and more to pray for people – those I don’t know and those I do.

I find myself expecting to have an encounter before I walk in the door!

Do you have an expectation that God will use you to brighten someone’s day…to speak words of encouragement over them…or to pray for them?

Lord, open our eyes to see others around us that need Your love.

May we have the boldness to speak when You put someone in front of us that needs to hear Your love for them.

Lord, open our eyes that we may SEE!!

EYES FORWARD!!

We are visiting Panama City Beach with family for a few days. 

I was brought up in Panama City, FL and have not returned for 50 years!

It is an experience going back after all these years!  Things have changed…

As we are driving, things look different and feel different. 

And that’s to be expected after 50 years!!  That was a different season in my life. I have memories, but it’s impossible to return to the way it was.  And that’s okay. 

I am in a different season now. And that’s okay too.  

Beloved, are you letting your thoughts and emotions return to a time that has passed?  

Are you feeling regrets?

Are you feeling sadness?

Are you feeling drawn to how things “used to be?”

Dearest ones, it’s okay to remember…but, don’t spend too much time dwelling and living there. 

God is calling you to the NOW!  You are needed NOW!  God has more for you in the days ahead than you realize.  

Don’t let your attention and focus be stuck looking backward!  

Shoulders back!  Head up!  Eyes forward!  

God is calling you to walk boldly with Him into a season that will bring you much JOY…much PEACE…much LOVE!!

It may not come as you expect…it may not look as you expect…but it IS coming!!  Are you ready to turn from the past and jump into your future?  

God is ready to make new memories with you. 

ARE YOU READY??

How Do We Respond?

Tina K. Roach Christianity , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Grace = unmerited favor-God’s free gift of love, forgiveness, and blessings that we don’t deserve or earn.

Knowing that God has offered and continues to offer His free gift of grace in salvation… How do we respond?

Knowing that His grace continues to work in our lives empowering us to grow in holiness, to increase in our love for Him and our neighbors, and to continually become more like Jesus…. How do we respond?

I pray that we will respond to His precious gift of grace by being His light in our cities, our states and our nation!

“Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” 2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬ ‭

🔥Revival!🔥

Tina K. Roach Christianity , , , , , , ,

I woke up at 2:00 am this morning from a dream I was having. In the dream, I was at some kind of gathering and I was sobbing. A friend came over to me concerned why I was crying. I looked at her and said, “I am crying out for revival in our nation.” I woke up immediately after that.

My dear friends, a lot of people are talking about how we need revival in our nation/country. But, are we just talking about it…or are we actively seeking it? Are we willing to get on our knees and CRY OUT for it? Are we willing for the Lord to use us as the kindling for the fire? Are we willing to first allow Him to do what needs to be done to revive US to a place of becoming part of the “spearhead” for revival?

🔥My heart cries out for revival!🔥. Will you join me?

OBEDIENCE

Tina K. Roach Christianity , , , , , , , , , ,

Sometimes we need to be willing to go where we haven’t gone before.

We need to be willing to speak when we aren’t sure what God wants us to say…He will lead us.

When He calls, we need to come/go.

We don’t need all the answers – God knows.

We don’t need to feel that we are “ready.” We may never feel that we are ready…but God goes before us and prepares the way.

We just need to be obedient…

LOVE!

I was walking across the room and picked up a church bulletin and the words on the front stopped me in my tracks. It was John 15:12…

I have read/heard this many times – but now…today…the Lord got my attention.


We know that we are to love one another….BUT, we are to love others JUST AS JESUS HAS LOVED US!

That puts our love for others at an entirely different level. It is not a watered down, sporadic, if I feel like it kind of love. It is not a love dependent on if you love me or if you treat me nicely.

“For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? …
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭46‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

“But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,” Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭44‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

If we love others as Jesus has loved us, we will love sacrificially. We may not physically die for someone (although there are those who have).

But, we may find times when we sacrifice our way and our wants for another. We may need to sacrifice our self-consciousness for God-consciousness.

Lord, help me to get my mind off of ME and onto YOU!! May Your love flow in me and through me. May I love as You love. May my heart align with Yours. Lord, may I lean into You so closely that I feel your heartbeat. May my heart beat as one with Yours. Help me to love as You love…

In Him…

Today I have a lot of washing, cleaning, and organizing to accomplish. To be honest I am not looking forward to it.

The first thing I did was to put on my worship music! As I center myself on Jesus…everything else becomes so much easier.

I am raising my voice in worship…drawing closer to what truly matters. Anything I am doing is surrounded by my giving glory to God!!

The cleaning, washing, and everything else is just a background to my positioning myself in Him. ❤️

Whatever we are doing, may we remember to let it flow from our connection to our precious Lord.

For in him we live and move and have our being…
‭‭Acts‬ ‭17‬:‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬

THE ROAR OF THE LION

Tina K. Roach Christianity , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I came across something I had written in 2/6/2012.
(I have capitalized the words that I felt the LORD was giving emphasis to.)

As I read it today, I felt the LORD say “SPEAK IT AGAIN!”
So, here it is…

“I woke up this morning feeling the ROAR of the Lion of Judah erupting from me!!

It was so strong that I let it erupt from my lips. The sound that came out was a SHOUT!!

Each time that it happened…I felt that the very atmosphere shifted!

I believe that the Lion from the tribe of Judah is calling forth His army! I believe that the time for sitting back and praying FOR something to happen is over. I believe that we are in a time of action!!

THERE IS A SOUND THAT IS POURING FORTH OUT OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, HIS CHURCH, THAT WILL CAUSE WALLS TO FALL, STRONGHOLDS TO BREAK, AND DARKNESS TO FLEE!!

I see the Church of the Living God moving forward in Authority and Boldness! We will take our stand in Christ and ENFORCE HIS VICTORY!

His voice thundering through us is the means He will use to have His Will be manifested on this earth!

We will be His Voice calling out in the wilderness!

Where there is barrenness…there will be life!

Where there is lack…there will be abundance!

Where there is weakness…there will be strength!

Where there is defeat…there will be victory!

PSALM 29:

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;
The God of glory thunders,
The Lord is over many waters.

The voice of the Lord is powerful,
The voice of the Lord is majestic.

The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
Yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
And Sirion like a young wild ox.

The voice of the Lord hews out flames of fire.

The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
The Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the Lord makes the deer to calve
And strips the forests bare;
And in His temple everything says, “Glory!”

The Lord sat as King at the flood;
Yes, the Lord sits as King forever.

The Lord will give strength to His people;
The Lord will bless His people with peace.

THE LION OF JUDAH IS ROARING! THE EARTH AND THE HEAVENS SHAKE AT THE SOUND OF HIS VOICE!

RELEASE THE ROAR THAT IS WITHIN YOU!!
