Lord, increase our spiritual discernment to KNOW what Your plan is for our lives and to walk in it! And when we need to battle…may we not shy away from it…but may we gird ourselves in Your armor, O God, and walk in VICTORY!! 💥💥💥
Embrace God’s Plan
destiny
HE IS!
God can heal your past traumas! He is with you NOW to bring you through any and all challenges in your life! He is in your future! He knows what awaits and prepares us and strengthens us for what is coming. He is all we have ever needed and all we will ever need! HE IS!!
Dearest ones, rest secure in that knowledge. I speak peace, strength, healing, joy, and wisdom over you and within you in the mighty name of Jesus! You are loved!! ❤️❤️❤️
TRANSFORMATION!
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!
LET IT GO!!
What things do we need to let go of in order to make room for the new? Are we holding onto regret, shame, anger, fear, or hurt? Are we holding onto unforgiveness? May we allow God to heal us and help us to release all of those things holding us back.
May we move forward with a lightness to our step; a clear heart and mind; and an excitement for the new encounters that are waiting along our journey! Praying for your new stepping stones that are waiting along your path!! 👣👣👣
TRUTH!
May we walk in the Truth of your word, O LORD!!! May we allow Your Truth to define our lives and not the lies of the enemy!!!!!!!
LEAP OF FAITH!
“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”
1 John 5:4 NASB1995
As I have been pressing into the Lord concerning this new year, I was led to this photo. Then I was led to the scripture in 1 John concerning FAITH.
I feel the call of the Lord to be ready to take a LEAP OF FAITH in the coming year. There have been plenty of circumstances that have tried to stop you in your walk forward.
Looking at our circumstances and listening to voices of criticism and negativity in our lives have caused a “break” in our walk with the Lord. He is calling us to look at HIM…trust in HIM… and soar like an eagle over all those things that have caused you fear and doubt.
Get ready to take that LEAP OF FAITH and see all that God has waiting for you on the other side!
HALLELUJAH!!
The Light of the World!
“I didn’t realize I was in the dark until the light was turned on!”
Years ago as I was visiting family in South Florida over Christmas, I was looking up a church to visit that Sunday. I said the words above as my sister-in-law turned on the overhead light where I was sitting.
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized the spiritual significance of the words. How many people don’t realize they are in the dark spiritually until the Light of the revelation of Jesus Christ is turned on in their hearts and spirits?
My heart aches when I think of those that walk around battling life’s problems in their own strength, not realizing that there is One who wants to take all of their burdens and pain upon Himself.
But, those who are living in darkness don’t realize they are in darkness! They don’t realize that there is a Light that is waiting to dispel the darkness in their lives. The Holy Spirit desires to turn on the Light of the revelation of Jesus Christ within our hearts and spirits.
I pray that we can be the “bearers of Light” to all those that we come into contact with. May we allow Jesus to shine in and through us! May we be the Light Bearers to a world that needs THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!! May Your glory shine through us, Lord Jesus!
“…for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead expose them…”. Ephesians 5:8-11. NASB1995
*Do you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Would you like Him to be? It isn’t hard….
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life”. JOHN 3:1618
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” ACTS 16:31
“If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved”. ROMANS 10:9-10
“Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out…”. ACTS 3:19
Sin has consequences – physical, emotional, and spiritual. Jesus’ death on the cross was the perfect and complete payment for our sin. The physical consequences may still need to be faced (jail, financial responsibility, etc). But, if we repent of our sin… turn away from it…and place our faith in Jesus…we will know that we will have life after we die – a resurrected life in heaven for eternity with Jesus!! HALLELUJAH!! Precious ones, now is THE DAY OF SALVATION! Are you ready to take that step?
Job Requirement
It is so easy to look at ourselves and feel that we are not equipped or not able to be who God has called us to be or to do what God has called us to do.
It is so easy to focus on things we have done wrong. Why would the Lord want to use me when I have “messed up” so many times?
It is very enlightening in the Bible to see how God used people who had “messed up“ to do mighty things for His kingdom.
Brothers & Sisters, God can and wants to use you for His glory!! The “job requirements” are not that you have a perfect life.
Do you love the Lord? Do you desire for Jesus to be your Savior and Lord? Are you willing to allow Him to work His good and perfect will in and through you?
Then you have everything you need to serve our perfect God!! Trust Him and take the next step of faith!! He is waiting…
Reflection of Glory!
