SPRING!

Tina K. Roach Uncategorized , , , , ,

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)

May Our Walk be Worthy!

May you “walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints of Light.”

Colossians 1:10-12

CHANGE AHEAD

Tina K. Roach Uncategorized , , , ,

As I sit here tonight thinking about the New Year that is approaching, I feel deeply the words “change ahead.”

There will be change in our world; change in our government; change in our cities; change in our communities; change in our churches; change in our families; and change in our lives.

Change can be scary; it can be challenging; but it is inevitable. To grow physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually means there will be change in our lives.

Change shouldn’t take place just for the sake of change. But, it does need to take place. It also needs to be God directed! What we think needs to change may not align with what God thinks.

We also need to be careful about telling others THEY need to change before we seek God on how WE need to change. Help us, Lord!

My prayer for this New Year is that we will allow God to move mightily in our lives and change our fear into faith; our doubt into trust; our pride into humility; our weakness into strength; and our self centered thinking into God centered thinking.

I pray that we will think before we speak; listen before we speak; and always speak in love.

I pray that those plans and ideas and ministries that have been put on the “back burner” will be moved forward! It’s time! Seek the Lord for He is waiting!

There is change ahead! And if we let God lead the change – all will be well!!

Use Me, LORD!

Good morning, Lord!

Thank You for this day full of opportunities to love You and to show others Your love for them.

I rejoice in having another day on this earth to be used for Your Glory! I look for divine appointments…times that You set into place for a specific purpose.

Open my eyes, Lord, that I may see! Anoint my ears, Lord, that I may hear You more clearly! Anoint my mouth, Lord, that I may speak Your will!

Use me, Lord, for Your kingdom purposes this day! I am Your vessel! I surrender all I am and all I will be to You!  I love You!!
