TRUST GOD!

If we truly trust in the Lord, then we will be thankful even when we DON’T get those things that we are hoping for. We can’t see the whole picture. We don’t know what will hinder our growth in God’s journey for us and what will give us an extra boost for the journey. 

Even if Satan blocks and hinders us in our journey, we can still be thankful!  For God assures us that He:

“…causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”    (Romans‬ ‭8:28‬ ‭NASB‬)

Yes, our amazing God can take what is meant to “kill, steal, and destroy” (John 10:10)  and cause it to work together with His plan!  And in the end, He still brings us to that place of His divine purpose and will!  If we will but trust Him…

“Trust in Him at all times, O people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah.”    (‭‭Psalms‬ ‭62:8‬ ‭NASB‬‬)

If we truly trust in the Lord, we can be thankful and praise Him in the good times and in the bad. He is with us during every trial…enabling us to walk through it with grace and love.  He will never leave us to “work it out” on our own!  

Trust Him at ALL times – Bless Him at ALL times – Praise Him at ALL times!!

“I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”              (Psalms‬ ‭34:1‬ ‭NASB‬‬)

Lord, teach me to trust you!  Forgive me when I have let circumstances dictate my faith and trust in you.  Whatever is going on in my life should never affect my faith in YOU!  You are above my circumstances!  Give me the eyes to see YOU above and beyond whatever is going on. Give me the eyes to see YOU with me as I walk through each moment of the day. You are above, beyond, and WITH me at all times! You are AMAZING and I love You and adore You and worship You! 💥💥❤️❤️💥💥

The GREAT WORK!

Yes…the Lord is calling YOU to a great work! But, don’t worry. He does not expect you to be able to do it with your own strength! He calls…and then He provides you with everything you need to do His Will! Are you ready to answer His call?

I also believe that what we consider a “great work” may be different than what the Lord defines as a “great work.”

Yes, reaching thousands of people through an Evangelistic Crusade is a great work. But, being obedient and reaching that one person the Lord has put in your path is also a great work!

Yes, Healing Crusades where thousands of people are healed is a great work!  But, laying hands on and praying for that one person seeking God’s healing is also a great work!

I believe the GREAT WORK that the Lord is calling us all to is to LISTEN & OBEY!!

Whatever the Lord is encouraging you to do – THAT is the great work that is waiting for you!

And He does indeed provide you with everything you need to do His will!

Are you ready to answer His call?

RISE UP!

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”    Philippians‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We are told in Scripture to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ.  (2 Corinthians 10:5). Our mind is indeed a “battlefield.”  Satan loves it when we focus on everything wrong in our lives. He loves it when we focus on our past mistakes and let those mistakes stop us from going forward in Christ. He loves it when we wallow in self pity and see ourselves as less than who we truly are – who Jesus says we are!

We are more than conquerors; We are chosen and dearly loved; We are the bride of Christ; We are empowered through the Holy Spirit to be who the Lord has called us to be and to do what we have been called to do!

Rise up, warriors of the Most High God!  Get out of the pit of despair and frustration and regret and lift up your eyes and see your destiny!!

Cut off the chains that are holding you back!

Shake the dust from your feet and go forward in God’s Love and Power!

HE LOVES YOU!

As I was walking into Walmart after church one day, I found myself entering on the heels of four teenage boys – laughing and decked out in low-riding jeans and tattoos.

I found myself overwhelmed with the Love of God for them.  So much so, that I felt that I should tell them how much He loved them.

But, as we walked into the main entrance and began to separate, I kept silent.  They went to the left and I went to the right.

Feeling a little guilty, I said to the Lord, “Okay, if You want me to tell them You love them…bring them across my path again, Lord!”

Well, within 10 minutes, there they were walking almost beside me as I was going down an aisle!

I walked into the middle of them, smiled, and said, “As I was walking behind you as we were coming into the store, I was overwhelmed with the Love that God has for you!  He wants you to know that He loves you very much!  Have a great day!”

As I was walking away, I heard one of them yell after me, “Thank you!”

Later, as I was in the car, I began thinking that I should have talked to them longer.  I should have found out if they knew Jesus.  I should have…

But, then the Lord interrupted my thoughts. I heard Him say in His quiet, loving voice, No, I just wanted them to know I loved them.

Sometimes we try and complicate and over-think things.  Sometimes He just wants us to let people know that He loves them…

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!!

Unhindered JOY!

…for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from a stall.  Malachi 4:2

When I get a vision of calves skipping about when they leave their stall…I see unhindered JOY! I see a release of care and embracing the moment! Beloved of God! May you live out this vision today!! Look up unto Your God and see your healing and receive it!!
