My Shepherd…

“The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.”     Psalms‬ ‭23:1-6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The Lord’s Plans!

The Lord’s plans are unfolding in our lives! Some of these plans will not “look like” what we have been used to in the past. Some of these plans are not conforming to our timeframe.

But His plans ARE good and we must trust Him and step out in faith. We must be open and willing for HIS PLANS to open up before us – whatever they may be. And we must be willing and open to let Him take us where we need to go – wherever that may be.

TRUST IN THE LORD!!

 

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)

Lord, Thank You…

Lord, thank You for this day!

I don’t know exactly what will happen as the day progresses…but, I know that You are in it with me. I know that whatever happens – good or bad – You are in it with me. I know that you can take each moment and use it for Your glory! I know that whatever happens, You can teach me through it and I will become stronger.

I am blessed to enter into this new day with You, Lord! And because You have created our days – I will rejoice and be glad in it!!

Lord, thank You for this day!

What Do You See?

…for we walk by faith, not by sight–2 Corinthians 5:7  

May we walk every day “seeing through eyes of faith” instead of seeing only what we physically see. May we look at everything from a heavenly perspective.

May we see with the eyes of Jesus!

Things are not what they seem.  We need to let Jesus strip away our preconceived ideas about what we are seeing or what we think things should look like.

May we see with the eyes of Jesus!

May we call forth those things that are not…as though they were. May we speak God’s will and let Him use us to help align earth with heaven!

May we see with the eyes of Jesus!  

HALLELUJAH!!

Earth Day!

Today is Earth Day! May we all remember Who created this earth we dwell upon. May we all remember Who our God is and who He says we are. May His will be done on earth as it is in heaven! Glory!

“I made the earth, and created man on it. It was My hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host.”  (Isaiah 45:12 HCSB)

“Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am God, and there is no other. (Isaiah 45:22 NASB)

I AM WHO I AM!

I AM WHO I AM!

I GIVE AND I TAKE AWAY.

I AM READY TO GIVE OUT OF MY ABUNDANCE UNTO MY BRIDE.

I AM READY TO TAKE AWAY THOSE STUMBLING BLOCKS THAT CONTINUE TO TRIP YOU UP AND CAUSE YOU TO MOVE ERRATICALLY ALONG THE PATH THAT I HAVE ORDAINED FOR YOU.

THE WALLS OF YOUR SELF-MADE PRISON ARE COMING DOWN.

FREEDOM IS AT HAND!

 

[Word of the Lord received by Tina Roach during Holy Saturday Prayer Vigil]

SPRING!

Has your spiritual life been in a season of “Winter?”  Have you felt that you have been in a time of inactivity or a time of slumber?  Have you snuggled into that place of comfort and found yourself not wanting to venture into the unknown?

Well!  It is a NEW SEASON!  Today is the first day of SPRING!  It is a time when you will see NEW LIFE begin to erupt in your ministry and in your church!  A time of NEW GROWTH, STRONGER GROWTH, and FOCUSED GROWTH has arrived!  The spiritual “seeds” in your life that have been covered and hidden until the right time are beginning to emerge!

Do not be discouraged if the Lord is still pruning you – taking away all of those things that are keeping you from having the healthy, abundant growth that He desires in your life. This pruning will make way for the new growth.  EMBRACE THE PRUNING!

It is time to open your arms wide; turn and lift your face towards the Light of Jesus;  allow the Living Water of the Holy Spirit to flow in you and from you; and breathe in the life-giving breath of God!

Are you ready to leave Winter behind and step into Spring?  It is a choice, a commitment, and a FAITH step!  REACH FOR THE LIGHT AND GROW!!

“For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord.  So live as people of light!  For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.”    (Ephesians 5z:7-9  NLT)

Show His LOVE!!

I believe there will be many opportunities to “pass judgment” in the coming days. The enemy would love for us to be a harsh, judgmental people. He would love to use us in his position as “accuser of the brethren”. 

Oh, Beloved of God! We are called to LOVE! To love our friends…to love our enemies…to love the “saved”…and to love those that are being wooed by the Holy Spirit to become a part of the Redeemed!

Show the Love of God to that person that is not acting in a loving manner. Show the Love of God to those that you don’t agree with. Bring the Love of God into all places; in all circumstances; to all people. 

The world shall know us by our LOVE!!!
