One Faith Step at a Time

Tina K. Roach Uncategorized , ,

And the Lord said to me, “Get up and go on into Damascus, and there you will be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.” Acts 22:10

As I was reading this Scripture pertaining to Paul and His defense before the Jews, I was reminded of the importance of our being obedient unto the Lord. In reading this, I noticed that the Lord first told Paul to go into Damascus. THEN he would be told what he needed to do there.

Ahhhh, Brothers and Sisters! The Lord usually doesn’t give us the “whole picture.” Our path is made up of one faith step at a time. We are told to take one step … and as we are obedient in that … then we are given the next step. I don’t know about you, but this can be very difficult. Especially, if He is calling us to do something that is out of our “comfort zone.” I want to know when, why, how. I want to know the whole picture!

However, on looking back at those times in my life that He has called me step-by-step to trust Him in where He is leading me, I realize that it is for my good to not have the whole picture. There are times that I realize if I had known the whole picture—I might have run the other way!!

We, as humans, tend to focus on our own abilities and strengths. And God doesn’t focus on that…He focuses on what HE can do through us if we are willing. Our LORD is a BIG GOD and He calls us to do big things. If we knew ahead of time all that He plans for us to do in His kingdom, we might be overwhelmed! But, in His goodness, He only gives us what we can handle…a little at a time…until we are at the place He gently leads us to. What a loving, gentle, Father!!

Beloved, may we be obedient and take that next step in faith. May we know that God is right there, holding our hands, protecting us on all sides, ordering our steps, so that we can carry out the BIG PLANS that He has determined for us to do. We CAN do all things through Christ! And we CAN accomplish it through one faith step at a time…

 

I LOVE YOU!!

I hear the Lord saying:

Beloved, don’t doubt My love for you!

Do you judge My love by how I answer your prayers? For it is in my love for you that I answer your prayers in My way and not yours.

Do you judge My love by looking with Your eyes at things that are going on around you? For it is in My love for you that I am with you, causing all things to work together for your good.

Judge My love for you by what I did on the cross! You are my Beloved Bride and I will never leave Your side. Don’t ever doubt My love for you!

REVIVAL!

I believe that many times when we pray for revival, we have an expectation of what that revival will look like. We have our own ideas of what should happen.

But, are we willing to accept revival on God’s terms? What has happened in the past may not be what God has planned for us now. We must beware of putting revival in a box that we expect God Almighty to adhere to!

His ways and thoughts are far above ours! He is a God of creativity, passion, and power!! Have Your way, Oh God!!

Are We Willing?

Don’t think that the Lord can’t use you until you have it “all together!”

He knows every fault…He knows every weakness…and He still wants to use us!!

He doesn’t choose to use us for His Glory because of who WE are — but He chooses to use us because of who HE is!!

Christ in us, the Hope of glory, wants to flow through you this day.

All we have to be is WILLING!!

BREAKTHROUGH IS COMING!!

I posted the following word 4 years ago today. I felt led to post it again…BREAKTHROUGH IS COMING!!

Some are in a place of “standing” right now.  I see Eph. 6:12-13). Do NOT think this is a place of defeat! It is a place of gathering strength, wisdom, and strategy. Do NOT let the enemy make you think you are doing nothing. The Lord is preparing you for a great victory!! 

STAND YOUR GROUND–and get ready for BREAKTHROUGH!! 

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

Happy Father’s Day!!
Remembering the fathers who still are present in our lives. Remembering the fathers who are no longer with us (Thinking of you, Daddy).

For some, this is a day of rejoicing…for some, this is a day of sadness…for some, it may be a day of pain of growing up in circumstances that have left a wounded heart (praying for you).

I like to take this day as a day to also honor our Heavenly Father! He is the Perfect Father!! He loves us more than we can comprehend!!

I love You, Abba!! Thank You for being my Father and teaching me, guiding me, empowering me, and loving me!! HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!

Walking With Jesus

PRAYER WALK
We had a powerful prayer time this morning! At one point I was in front of the group lifting up the churches in our area and I found myself praying for unity.  I found out that another walker, who was bringing up the rear of the group, was praying the same thing – unity! We were far enough away from each other that we didn’t hear each other. Praying God’s heart- UNITY -for His people!!

I prayed this morning for God to give us another “divine appointment” and He did! As we were walking across from the hospital, I felt the nudge from the Lord to walk in the drop off area of the Emergency Room/ Hospital.

As we began to walk in that area, we saw a woman walking from the parking lot to the hospital. She had just dropped off her daughter at the Emergency Room. I was able to pray with her for her daughter’s healing. We serve a God of Opportunity! And He sets up the opportunities!! Hallelujah!!

Thank You, Jesus, for walking with us during this focused set-aside time!!

Blessed be the Name of the Lord!!
