Lord
ELOHIM
ELOHIM…ELOHIM ~~You are The All-Powerful One And Creator!!
I lay myself before You at the foot of Your throne and offer this life for Your use. I am Your vessel and You are my GOD!!
Get Over Yourself and Get Into God!!
I was talking to a friend this morning at church and she commented that she enjoyed my little “message” video on Facebook. I confessed to her that I didn’t know why I found myself posting these videos the last couple of days.
I am overly critical of myself – how I sound…how I look. And I found myself saying, “But, it’s not about me!! It’s about the Lord!”
Immediately, I had one of those AHA moments!! Maybe that’s why the Lord gently pushed me into putting myself out there – for me to get over myself! LOL!
Do you find yourself pulling away from being noticed…wanting to blend into the background? Are you like me…overly critical of yourself…seeing every fault and feeling that everyone else sees them too?
Well, dearest one, get over yourself and get into God!! May we be more concerned about letting HIS Light shine brightly through us and not be so concerned about how OUR “light” looks!
Forgive me, Lord, for being self-conscious instead of God-conscious! Forgive me, Lord, for holding back because of how I feel or how I look! Cover me, Lord, with YOUR beauty; YOUR grace; and YOUR love!! May I be a reflection of YOUR glory!!
YOUR FUTURE IS NOW!
Our past experiences help to make us who we are today. Those experiences that we look upon as “good” and those experiences that we label as “bad” all work together to bring us into the place we find ourselves today.
It is so comforting to know that no matter what experiences we have had, God can use all of them for our good.
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 ESV
We all learn from the good times we have had and from the bad. It is easy to look back with regret…wishing we had done things differently…but, we can’t allow the enemy to trap us in that place of regret. God can use even our regrets to change our future.
It is easy to look at things that we consider the “high points” of our lives and want to drag them into our today and dwell in that place of good feeling and accomplishment. But, God wants to open up new “high points” for us! We mustn’t allow our past accomplishments to take the place of all that God wants to do in and through us NOW!
Beloved of God, we learn from our past but we don’t live there. God has so much MORE that He has planned for you! Glance back…but keep your focus and attention firmly ahead!!
Your future is manifesting in the present – don’t miss it!
WAIT FOR THE LORD!
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!!

GET READY!
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!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
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
ONE STEP AT A TIME!!
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!!!
ARE YOU WILLING?
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
Reflection of Glory!
