Each one of us are wonderfully and fearfully made. We are all unique. We all have a path and a destiny. God is ordering your steps. Repeat, God is ordering your steps.
So why are we worrying about what others think? Why are we influenced by what our family and friends say? If you know that God has told you to do "it", what permission do you need from man? I feel like I am repeating my messages but God is trying to tell you, HE has "it" covered. When He told you to do "it", He made the way for you to do "it". The people are in place, the position is in place, the obstacles are moved out of the way, and everything needed will be provided. Stop looking for a co-sign on God's message to you. It was for you and only for you, others may not understand the message, and that is how God intended it. Blessings!!

Father God, we come together this morning to give you all the praise and all the glory. We magnify your holy name. We honor you and adore you. You are Lord of Lords, King of Kings! You are mighty, wonderful, and full of mercy and grace. You are all knowing, all powerful, and omnipresent! You are our Father which art in heaven! You are the great I AM!!
We come humbly before you, calling upon your name, praying that you be a shield against the storms. We pray that you be a shelter for the lost, lonely, fearful, anxious, and doubters. Help us to remember you are sovereign. You are in control. It does not matter what it looks like, what it feels like, you are in control. We trust you, Father God. We lift up those families who lost loved ones in Texas, we pray that you give them a peace like no other. Your word tells us to be absent from the body is to be present with you. We all have an appointed time, no matter the circumstances, you are in control and for that we give you all praise. As the winds blow and the rains fall, we trust that you Father God, are directing them in the way they will go. The winds and the rains obey you and you only. Lord you are mighty!!! We know that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. We know that all things work together for the good, for those who love you and are called according to your purpose. We know we are more than conquerors through you. We know!! Father God, we thank you in advance! We praise you in advance! We will continually bless your name, because you are good, you are great, you are!! Thank you for peace. Thank you for calmness. Thank you. In all things, we give you thanks. In Jesus name, Amen. Amen. Amen. I was looking at a recent picture and I shifted to the background. Behind me was a brick wall but there was a smile on my face.
I thought about all the times I was told no. I thought about all the obstacles I had to overcome. I thought about the doors slammed shut in my face. I even thought about the times my brick wall was my own thoughts. But God!! Have the brick walls gone away? Are the obstacles gone? Of course not, but I am still smiling. I can smile. You can smile. Why? Because we are not facing brick walls alone. The brick wall can't hurt us. The brick wall is oftentimes the precursor to our promise. Stand in front of your brick wall with a smile. God is with you. Blessings!!! Isaiah 41:10 My oldest was in ICU in VA. I was in church in GA. I called my bestie in VA and she went to hospital. When she arrived they called a code blue on my child. I prayed... Lord let me see my child one last time... I was on a first class flight within hours... I stayed with him one night.... read Romans 8 over him three times... I prayed.... Lord what do I do? He told me to go home and start the new job.... This was 4 years ago, he was in ICU, placed in a medical coma, did not look good, but God!! I kept the faith and if God had took him, I would have still continued to worship! I would have still praised!! But God!!! He showed me and my son, he still have work to do, there is purpose in his life, he needed to place him in a position where he could hear from God only. Do you trust God? Do you have a faith so strong, that even if He took your child today, you would continue to love, serve, worship, trust Him and Him only? When I remember that time... I remember the peace I had, I truly said not my will but Thy will be done... I have been quiet the last few days. Mostly, I have been getting better, resting, and waiting for God to speak.
I try not to post unless God gives it to me, otherwise it is just me rambling. Today, I am looking forward. I want to encourage you to look forward. You may not see what is ahead, but God knows and He has something greater for you there. So, whatever distractions are in the way, I am standing in agreement with you that they are no more! Keep looking forward, keep pressing forward, there is greatness ahead! Blessings!!! |
