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…
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
“…the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”Ephesians 6:17 NASB1995
I had a vision on June 8 as I attended a day with Daughters on the Frontline. In the vision I saw a woman clothed in the armor of God. (Ephesians 6:10-18). But, I saw the sword of the Spirit laying at her feet. I received understanding that the sword was not being held because it was thought, “I will pick it up when I need it.”
I heard the Lord say in my spirit, “IT’S TIME TO PICK UP THE SWORD!! MY WORD TRUMPS THE WORD OF THE WORLD!”
Even though I saw a woman in my vision, I believe that the woman represents the “bride of Christ.” This vision and word is for all – men and women alike.
Brothers & Sisters, the main weapon of our warfare is in our mouths! God’s Word spoken, declared, and decreed in and over our circumstances and in and over world circumstances is one of the most powerful weapons we have. We need to realize the importance and necessity of having our “sword” constantly ready.
Read God’s Word…Pray God’s Word…Speak God’s Word
May God’s Word continually be in our hearts and in our mouths! RISE UP BROTHERS & SISTERS! PICK UP THE SWORD AND BE READY TO DO BATTLE!
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”Ephesians 6:12 NASB1995
Don’t let what is happening in your life put you in a position of defeat. Rise up from that position and remember you are “seated with Christ in heavenly places.” (Ephesians 2:6). That is your position!
RISE UP! ARMOR UP! SPEAK UP!
You are not defeated! You are not a failure! You are not powerless! SPEAK God’s truth over yourself and over your circumstances and keep speaking it until you see the victory!
“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)
Praying for you, mighty, victorious men and women of God!!
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”“. John 11:25-26
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 ESV
When we are going through challenging circumstances, it is hard to think that God can use those circumstances to strengthen us.
It is hard to realize that God can use the very circumstances we are struggling in as an equipping for us to minister to others that are walking through the same circumstances.
Beloved, trust in the Lord in ALL circumstances!! He knows what He is doing…even when we don’t. ❤️
Dearest ones, have you been rescued by Father God? Have you received redemption in and through Jesus Christ, His Son? Are you living confidently in the kingdom of God knowing the truth of your identity in Christ? If you have not received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, are you ready to?
“…if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.“ Romans 10:9-10
Reflection of Glory!
