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!!

Prayer…

Asleep at 12:00 and awake by 4:00am. I guess there is just too much going on…

Lord, may Your peace settle upon me and all who are reading this. May Your Presence gently touch all who are hurting…all who are depressed…all who are crying out for You!

Father, I intercede for all those who just have no words to pray. Hear their hearts, Lord, and may they feel Your Love!

Flow, River, Flow into the deep valleys and into the dry places of their lives! May their spirits, souls, and bodies soak in Your precious life-giving Water!

Thank You, LORD, and Amen!

TAKE YOUR POSITION!

IMG_1246There is such joy in walking in the calling that God has placed upon our lives!! There is such joy in using our spiritual gifts for others!!

I attended a church service in my community tonight. My plan was to just go and receive. And I did indeed receive – encouragement, confirmation, and love from those attending…along with solid biblical teaching!

But, the Lord also used me for others as well. I prophesied over 5 people there as a result of visions He gave me for them. Thank You, Lord!!

I have found that when we have a spiritual gift, it is hard to just “turn it off!” And why would we want to? God gives His gifts to be used!

Are you walking in your gift? Are you using it for His glory? Are you experiencing the joy that comes from ministering to others?

It is time to step out in faith and take your position in the body of Christ! You are needed and God will use you mightily!

Perfect Church Service

Sometimes we get so caught up in critiquing the service – the worship music; the sermon; and even those attending…that we forget the reason we are there – to worship Almighty God!!

Everything about the church service should lead us into the presence of God…to initiate a face-to-face encounter.

If we walk away from our churches with the “service” filling our thoughts instead of God…something needs to be changed!

Reflection of Glory!

Each day is a gift!  May we open it with excitement and great expectation!

Sometimes when we open real gifts, we may encounter disappointment when it doesn’t turn out to be what we expected or hoped for.

But, we can be assured that if we look at each day through the eyes of the Lord, we will see that each day is exactly what we need to grow and to be a part of His “grand plan” for us.

And what is His grand plan?  To be transformed into His image…2 Corinthians 3:18 NET

“And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, which is from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” 

May we reflect His glory wherever we are and in whatever we do!!

RIGHTEOUSNESS

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. (James 1:19-20 NIV)

Dearest one,

I see and feel your anger. I know that you think it is justified. I know that you have been hurt and believe it is right for your response to be anger. 

But, I am calling you to a higher response – a response of Love; a response of Compassion; a response of Forgiveness.  

Now is the opportunity for you to grow in the righteousness that I desire. Now is the time for you to allow Me to work in this situation to bring about good. Are you willing? Will you lay down the “right” to be angry and allow Me to replace it with My RIGHTeousness??  

Come to Me and walk with Me and I will help you…

JESUS IS OUR PATTERN!

Tina K. Roach Uncategorized , , ,

As I sit quietly sipping my coffee this morning, I hear the Lord saying:

“I have not called you to be like everyone else.”

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I have a problem with comparing myself to others.  Especially those that I believe are further along God’s path than I am.

As I was hearing God’s Word to me this morning, I knew it was not just for me…but for all of us!

Brothers & Sisters, we are each uniquely and beautifully created!  God delights in our uniqueness. He takes delight in seeing us moving and ministering in the Gifts He has placed within us through the Holy Spirit.

Don’t ever feel that you are lacking or not good enough!  Don’t ever feel that God could not possibly use you!  He is abundantly able to do wonderful and powerful things through YOU!!

We may not be doing things exactly how we see someone else doing them – but God has called us to do things as we see HIM doing them!!

May we seek the Lord in the coming days and pattern ourselves after His guidance and direction and not rely on patterning ourselves after other people.

JESUS is our pattern!

“…be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and… put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”  (‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:23-24‬ ‭ESV‬‬)

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.”  (John‬ ‭14:12‬ ‭NASB‬‬)

LOOK UP!

The RAIN finally came!! As I was in Choir practice, I could hear the downpour outside and the cracking and rumbling of thunder.

But as I left the church, I saw it had stopped. As I got closer to my home, my attention was drawn to the night sky – beautiful!!

But what awaited me at home was not! My husband reported seeing hail (in Florida!) and the indoor/outdoor carpet on my porch was soaked. One bird feeder pole was on the ground…the other one leaning to the side. One heavy potted rose bush was about 2 feet from where it usually sat on the patio. And my poor plants looked like they had been in a boxing match!

My husband estimated that the wind gusted about 50mph at times. When I got home all I saw was the result. There was no wind, no rain, and no thunder.

And as I saw the devastation on the ground, I once again looked up and saw the beauty in the night sky – reminding me to keep my sight on things above – reminding me to keep my sight on God!

In the coming days, we may not see what is happening spiritually…but we definitely will see the result!

Open our eyes, LORD, that we may SEE!  Open our ears, LORD, that we may HEAR!  And open our mouths, LORD, that we may PRAY!img_1076


Can’t Sleep?

Tina K. Roach Uncategorized , ,

I have found that some of my best times with the Lord are late at night or early, early morning (3:00-4:30am).

I don’t choose to not sleep or to wake up that early…but sometimes He invites me for a late nite chat or early morning wake up call. And I don’t ever want to miss an opportunity to connect with Him!!

So! If you can’t sleep – don’t fret – draw near to God and be assured, He is ready to draw near to you!
