SHIFT YOUR FOCUS!!

Tina K. Roach Christianity , , , , , , ,

I don’t know about you, but there are times in my life where I find myself thinking back on my life journey and having regrets.

It would be so great if everything I have done and everything I have said was perfect. It would be so great to have no regrets…to not have a burden for things that highlight what an imperfect, flawed, and weak vessel that I was and continue to be.

I am not perfect. But, I know One who is! Jesus Christ, my beloved Lord and Savior, is perfect in all that He says and does!

I am so humbled and thankful that He loves me in spite of all of my weaknesses and flaws. I am so humbled that He still can use me for His glory in spite of all of the things that I do wrong.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

And I am comforted in knowing that He has used all of my mistakes and “regrets” to help mold and shape me into who He is calling me to be!

And we know that God 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)

Brothers and Sisters, if you are going through a time of regret, don’t let it stop you from forging ahead and answering the call of God on your life!  God doesn’t focus on what we lack…He focuses on who we are to become in and through Him!  And we are not to focus on what we lack…but we are to focus on all that we have through His abundance!

So!  Today I choose to shift my focus away from myself and all of what I am not…and I choose to align myself with God and shift my focus onto all that I am through His amazing grace and through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit!!

Will you join me?  One, two, three…..SHIFT!!

It’s Time To Move FORWARD!!

I am sitting here this morning listening to the thunder and rain and drinking my coffee. As I was looking at my photos, I came across this one and immediately felt the heart of God for those that are getting over a painful experience (or trying to).

Ahhhhh Beloved, the Lord hears your cries! He feels your pain! But, He is ready to walk with you out of this place of suffering. It is indeed time for you to “let go.” He will use this time to help you grow.

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

He doesn’t want you to stay in that place of suffering. He has so much awaiting you! It’s time to take that step forward!

TAKE THE LEAP!!

The New Year is upon us!

I hear the Lord calling us to a deeper faith…a stronger faith…a focused faith.

We are being called to take a leap of faith! We are being propelled by the power of the Holy Spirit to leave our “comfort zone” and make a leap into our future!

I see the Lord lifting us up and above those things that would hold us down, The wind of the Holy Spirit will carry us over those places that seem impossible to navigate.

Don’t look down…don’t focus on your ability to make the jump! Look up!! Focus on the Lord and HIS ability!

Get ready!! Focus!! Breathe deeply and let the breath of God fill your lungs!!

TAKE THE LEAP!!

I AM CALLING YOU!

I hear the Lord saying:

“My Spirit within you makes you MORE than a conqueror–so don’t settle for just getting by.

My Spirit within you equips you to do GREATER works than I did while walking this earth–so don’t underestimate your value in the kingdom.

Stop trusting your ability and start trusting MINE!

I AM calling you…”

TRUST GOD!

Tina K. Roach Christianity , , , , , , ,

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! 💥💥❤️❤️💥💥
