Okay, Church, we are just going to have to face it! We can’t stay the same. For some this will be good news…and for some it will not be what they want to hear. Change can be scary… it can be messy…but it is necessary in order to be who God desires for us to be.
Ahhh… my dear friends, kingdom living is about transformation…transformation individually and transformation corporately. I pray that each of us will embrace this transformation – not in the future, but NOW!
I have posted the pic below before in years past…but I think it is a reminder that we need to keep ever before us.
If we truly come to church with a heart of worship and a desire to hear from Him…how can we not be changed!
We are assured in His Word that He is there with us as we gather together. May we be sensitive to His presence!
May we gather in our churches in Jesus Name and not for any other reason. It’s all about JESUS! And when we get our focus in the right place…everything else will fall into place.
“For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” (Matthew 18:20 NASB1995)
Beloved, don’t assume that what you are doing right now is what you will always be doing! It’s a NEW SEASON!! God has a destiny for you – and it is good!! Get ready for the change that’s coming. Are you willing to step into it? Are you willing to put aside your plan and step into God’s plan?
It’s time to put feet to our faith!!! “For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.”
James 2:26
Lord, I thank You for this day! I ask that You would take everything in it and use it to mold and shape me into the person you would have me to be. Forgive me, Lord, when I have fallen short of walking in Your plan. Help me to reach higher – to reach for Your plan for me – and
not settle for mine.
Open my eyes, Lord, that I may see!
Open my ears, Lord, that I may hear! Open my heart, Lord, that I may love!! May it be so, Lord, in Jesus’ name!!
Amen!
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 NASB
God loves us so much! We have all had to journey through some very challenging times during this COVID-19 pandemic.
It is such a blessing to know that not only has God been with us 24/7 during it all, but He actually is using it to transform and mold us into a stronger and more effective vessel for His presence in the world. I do not believe God caused this pandemic, but He is using it for our spiritual growth.
I believe that as we transition back into our communities, we will definitely not be the same!
What is a POSITIVE change that has happened in your life, family, job, community, church, etc. because of this pandemic season of time?

Good morning! I had this plant on my porch but wanted to enjoy it more…so I brought it inside.
As I’m typing this, I feel the Lord saying that He is getting ready to move some of you to a different place. It isn’t necessarily a “big” move…but a repositioning. He will be moving you to a place of greater influence and ministry for Him!
HIS Beauty will shine through you and that will not only give Him greater joy but also those around you!
As I placed the plant, I found myself turning it so I could get the greatest view of its blooms. The Lord causes a “turning and shifting” in our lives that will bring Him the greatest glory!
Brothers & Sisters! YOU are a beautiful planting within the Lord’s Garden! Let the Master Gardener do His work!!
May you BLOOM where you are planted by God Almighty!!
Reflection of Glory!
