As my friend and I were talking on the phone today, we both were discussing how important God’s timing is in our lives.
It is so easy to rush ahead when we are anticipating what God is calling us to do. It is so easy to try and make it happen under our own power.
There are also things we have been praying for – perhaps for years! Beloved, don’t give up! Don’t be downcast!
Let your heart take courage! Be strong! Wait for the Lord!!

I feel a STIRRING in my spirit! There is much spiritual activity going on!
TRANSITIONING…
POSITIONING…
The Church is being called to attention! Marching orders are being distributed.
A RESTRUCTURING of ministries is beginning! Things that have been on “the back burner” are being moved up…and things that have been in the forefront are being put into a place of being refueled. And the Lord is adding ingredients that need to be added to achieve its purpose in this next season.
I feel a SHIFTING! Some things will be slowed down and some things will be speeded up. TIMING is important! Be sensitive to the Lord’s direction.
FOCUS! The Lord is sharpening our vision to SEE!!
There is much angelic activity! They are also being positioned by the Lord to strategically help those ones that are being raised up for such a time as this!
GET READY! GET READY!

How are you today, Beloved of God? Are you fighting a battle that seems like you can’t win? Are you still waiting for breakthrough? Does it seem like God is far away?
You are not alone! The Lord is very near! He feels everything you are feeling. He sees everything that is trying to break you down. He is ready to deliver you from the snare of the enemy!
Be encouraged and be strengthened to go forward armed with the Lord’s Love and Victory!! HE SEES YOU!! HE LOVES YOU!! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!
“The LORD sustains all who fall and raises up all who are bowed down.” Psalm 145:14
As I am sitting here drinking my coffee, I find my thoughts going to those that are in a time of uncertainty in their life situation.
I feel your desperation for things to be different. I hear you crying out to the Lord to change your life.
Dearest, precious, beloved of God! As I am sitting here, I also feel the faithful, all-encompassing, powerful Love that God has for you! He has not forgotten you. He hears you…He sees you…He has such an amazing plan for your life!
Even though you may feel that what is happening in your life is holding you back…remember that God can cause ALL things to work together for your good.
Our lives are full of life experiences – good and bad. But, our powerful Lord uses all these experiences to mold and shape us into a vessel that will display His glory!
I hear Him saying, “One step at a time!”
What has He called you to do today? Don’t discount what He can do through that one obedient step! Don’t downplay the importance of what may seem to be a “little” act of obedience.
It’s okay to feel uncertainty…it’s okay to want to see things changed…BUT, walk forward – one step at a time – knowing that God is with you! And He is going before you preparing the way!
You will make it to your destiny, beloved! ONE STEP AT A TIME!!!
Yesterday as I was driving to my hair appointment, I found myself tearfully praying, “Lord, can you really use me in all my weakness…in all my failures…in all my mistakes?”
As soon as the words left my mouth (I pray out loud most of the time), I heard the Lord’s loving, gentle voice in my spirit say, “I am bigger than your weakness, failures or mistakes! Yes! I can use you!”
I am sharing this to encourage anyone who thinks that God couldn’t possibly use them! It doesn’t matter where you are in your life or what you are experiencing – God can use you for His Glory!! If you are willing…He is willing!!
Are you willing?
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV
I choose to lay aside all of those things that are clamoring for my attention, Lord. I set aside this time to focus on You. I exalt You in my thoughts… I exalt You in my words… And I exalt You in my doing! There is none like You! Holy Spirit help me to worship my Lord as He deserves to be worshipped! May my worship be a sweet fragrance flowing up to Your throne, O GOD!! I love You…
“…we should live up to whatever truth we have attained.” Philippians 3:16 HCSB
As I read this today, I couldn’t help but ask myself, “Am I living up to…am I walking in the truth that I have received?”
I know that Jesus has redeemed me. I know that He says that I can do ALL things through Him. I know that He says I am MORE than a conqueror. I know He says I can do greater things than He did while He walked this earth in human form.
So! I have to look at my life and judge as to whether my life is an example of the truth I believe. When people see me, do they see what I believe displayed in my actions? Do they hear what I believe in my words? Am I truly living up to the truth I believe…or am I living below that truth?
Ahhh Lord! Help me to live up to Your truth! Faith by itself, if not accompanied by action, is dead. (James 2:17). I desire to LIVE Your truth – not just speak it – not just believe it – but to ACT upon it!! May my life be raised up to meet Your truth! Amen!
…the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart…(Matthew 15:18)
I think it is time for me to do a “heart check!” I believe it is important for us to pay attention to what comes out of our mouths. Our words have power! There is life and death in the tongue! (Proverbs 18:21) It is so easy to just let complaints and words of doubt and criticism flow all during our day. Forgive me, Lord!
The Lord pays attention to what we say (and the enemy does, too)…and we need to pay attention to the words that we allow ourselves to speak!
Dearest Lord, I pray that Your Holy Spirit will be a filter over my mouth. May I say only those things that speak LIFE and FAITH and TRUTH! Help me, Lord, to think before I speak. May I let “no unwholesome word proceed from [my] mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.”(Ephesians 4:29)
May Your words flow through me, Jesus! May I speak from a transformed heart…a heart that beats in time with Yours. Speak through me this day…and all the days that follow. Sanctify and anoint this mouth to speak forth Your Word!!
Thank You, Lord!!
