As we navigate through life, we need the wisdom and guidance of the Lord. Dearest ones, don’t try and make all of your life choices and decisions alone. Seek the Lord!! He always knows what’s best for us and He desires to join us on our journey. You are not alone!!!
Have you talked to the Lord today? He’s always available…always ready to listen AND to speak to you…and the plan has unlimited minutes!! Connect with Him today!! ~Tina
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!! ❤️❤️❤️
“Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.”
Mark 11:25 NASB1995
Don’t forgive depending on how you “feel.” Forgiveness is an act of obedience to our Lord. May we not be hesitant or rebel against bringing our will into obedience to God’s will!! Not my will but YOURS, O LORD!!
Time has passed since this photo was taken. Mom has passed on to glory and Annalise will soon be 16!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the women out there who have given life and spoken “life” into generations to come:
great-grandmothers, grandmothers, mothers, and spiritual mothers who have influenced countless generations!
We honor and remember you on this special day!!
Years ago, I had done/said something that I regretted. The circumstances around it have faded in my memory. But, I still remember the regret and condemnation I was feeling at the time.
I went to the Lord in prayer and asked for His forgiveness. A few days after that I again felt myself in the throes of regret and condemnation. I again went to the Lord in repentance begging for His forgiveness. This went on a few more times…and then I heard the Lord lovingly say to me:
“Tina, I forgave you the first time you came to me…now you need to forgive yourself!”
Dearest Brothers & Sisters, I believe there is someone who is reading this post that is living in the same place that I was…living under the spirit of condemnation. If you haven’t repented of your action to the Lord and asked His forgiveness…I encourage you to do that today! Also, if it is involving a person, I would encourage you to go to the person and ask their forgiveness.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
God has given us a sound mind…the mind of Christ! (1 Corinthians 2:16). We need to get our thoughts aligned with His thoughts…with His truth. We need to “…take every thought captive to obey Christ…”. (2 Corinthians 10:5)
Beloved of God, DO NOT let the enemy weave a stronghold of condemnation, fear, shame, and doubt within you! Stand strong…stand on the promises of God…stand on the truth of God! Take up the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is the Word of God, and wield that sword against anything the enemy throws at you!
Tear down the strongholds of the enemy and let the LORD be your stronghold! He [Jesus] is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken. (Psalms 62:2)
RISE UP, MIGHTY ARMY OF THE MOST HIGH GOD! PUT ON THE ARMOR OF GOD! PICK UP THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT AND BE STRONG IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT!! THE TIME IS NOW!! HALLELUJAH!!
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!
My prayer this morning…
Reflection of Glory!
