God Has You Covered in 2026!

As we continue into 2026, just know that God has you covered on all sides. I came out of prayer and the Lord quickened my spirit to share this word from Him... it was simply this, "I am going to take care of you. He says, His Spirit is among you. Trust Him for your needs and surrender it to Him. Allow Him to give you peace and strength. Allow Him to give you direction. He is your God. Lay your needs at His feet. Allow Him to carry the burdens. Again, allow Him to give you peace and strength. Again, He will do to depend on and trust in Him once more as He is faithful to His word."

Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God"...

Jesus is the Reason for Every Season!

 

"Jesus is the reason for the season"! Several years back I said this and immediately the Lord quickened my spirit and said, "Kimberly, My Son is the reason for every season!"

I remember after that I starting saying, "Jesus is the reason for EVERY SEASON! Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall, He is my ALL!" Oh yes, it's so important that we focus and celebrate this precious baby born of a virgin to come and save this sin sick world, this Holy Birth at Christmas time, but emphasizing His birth, life, death, and resurrection as the source of our hope, salvation, and meaning in every part of life is what it means to say Jesus is the reason for EVERY SEASON, not just Christmas, and it encourages us, as believers, to find joy and purpose in Him year-round.

As we gather around the Christmas tree this year, exchange gifts, and even sing songs celebrating Christ’s birth, let us remember the broader narrative. Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, He is the beginning and the end, the Creator and Sustainer of all things. He is the Redeemer who reconciles sinners to God and the King who will one day make all things new. 

We celebrate His birth with joy, but we must also live each day in recognition of His rule and reign, submitting ourselves to His sovereignty.  

Scripture I would like to share:

“For by Him all things were created, in Heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through Him and for Him. And he is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent. For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in Heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross” (Colossians 1:16-20).

When I read this scripture I am reminded that: Jesus is not only the reason for the season of Christmas but for every season of life and eternity. His holy birth heralds the incarnation of God, but His life, death, resurrection, and ongoing reign demand our recognition of His preeminence in all things. When I am stepping back and truly seeing everything Jesus is and means to me I am reminded of how much He has has KEPT me and brought me through. He has His sovereign, merciful hand on all of us.

A poem, "Jesus Kept", I wrote back in 2021 came back to me to share with y'all tonight! Notice that the word “kept” is in the past tense; the keeping was completed in the past. Jesus was keeping us before He ever formed us in our mother's womb. He was keeping us when He took His last breath on the cross. He was keeping us when He left His Holy Spirit behind to be our helper, teacher, comforter, and sanctifier. To be "Jesus Kept" means we are reserved, set apart, taken, spoken for, saved, loved unconditionally, and held by Him, He is the REASON for EVERY SEASON. ♡♡♡

《"Jesus Kept"》

Jesus kept me before I was saved. Jesus kept me when I misbehaved. Jesus kept me when I gave my life to Him. Jesus kept me when the way grew so dim.

Jesus kept me when I was down. Jesus kept me when no one was around. Jesus kept me when life was grand. Jesus kept me in the palm of His hand.

Jesus kept me when times where bad. Jesus kept me when I was sad. Jesus kept me when times were good. Jesus kept me and through it all I withstood.

Jesus kept me when the money was tight. Jesus kept me and made it all alright. Jesus kept me when I was scared and unsure. Jesus kept me and His love is secure.

Jesus kept me when He was dying on the cross. Jesus kept me when I counted it all but loss. Jesus kept me when He arose from the grave. Jesus kept me when I needed to be brave.

Jesus kept me when I was full of fear. Jesus kept me and stays always near. Jesus kept me when I lost my joy. Jesus kept me when the enemy sent others to destroy. 

Jesus kept me when I was full of hope. Jesus kept me when I was at the end of my rope. Jesus kept me when I was sick and fighting illness. Jesus kept me and showed me His realness. 

Jesus kept me and I felt His healing touch. Jesus kept me even when I used Him as a crutch. Jesus kept me and He's never left me behind. Jesus kept me and healed my mind. 

Jesus kept me when I wanted to quit. Jesus kept me when I seemed unfit. Jesus kept me and He turned my life around. Jesus kept me and placed my feet on solid ground.

Jesus kept me when my faith was strong. Jesus kept me when I was wronged. Jesus kept me when I was broken and torn apart. Jesus kept me and from me He did not depart.

Jesus kept me and put me back together. Jesus kept me and made it even better. Jesus kept me close to His side. Jesus kept me and He is forever my guide.

Jesus kept me and always will. Jesus kept me and helped me get over that hill. Jesus kept me and one day His face I shall see. Jesus kept me and soon I will praise Him for all eternity.

Peace and Rejoicing in the Pain!

Psalm 29:11 "The Lord gives Strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with Peace." 

*I am thankful for the peace and His supernatural strength that only He can bestow upon us. His peace is perfect and passes all understanding. His peace is made perfect in times of weakness. His strength helps us endure through those challenging times.

~~~~~~~~~

Romans 5:3-5 "3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love."

*Our pain has a purpose. Our difficulties may feel heavy, but their weight is designed to drive us into a deeper intimacy and walk with God, strengthening us and anchoring us to the steady hope of His perfect love. It has a purpose to... Grow us. Mold us. Shape us.

Divine Interruptions - Greater is Coming!

I am scheduled for left knee surgery this week. I entered a time of prayer earlier and came out with this word, and it's what I needed. I just want and desire a greater anointing to rest upon the church, not about me, but for His Holy Spirit to move and operate in new gifts. I am just hungry to keep growing and moving into a greater walk with Him until He calls me home. To move upon His children in a fresh way and into a season of revival; that's certainly my heart's desire and my prayer. The Lord has graciously spoken to me about this time of surgery now happening, after originally thinking it wouldn't, not to question it but to keep trusting His will and His way and it's happening for a reason.... and I need to grow deeper with Him through it. I need to be still and keep hearing from Him. 

I've been reflecting on and listening to the song a lot lately, "Greater Is Coming" by Jekalyn Carr. Through that song, I am reminded of this:

"An olive has to go through three stages, for its oil to run. It has to go through the shaking, the beating, and the pressing. And just like the olive, sometimes you may have felt like you went through (are going through) the shaking, the beating, and the pressing. But God. You've gone through all of that (going through all of that) for your oil to flow. Now, your greater is coming".

Then, the Lord spoke this so clearly to me:

"I AM INTERRUPTING, BUT EMBRACE THIS DIVINE INTERRUPTION, FOR THERE YOU WILL FIND A NEW MOVE OF MY HOLY SPIRIT. AGAIN, THIS BATTLE WILL END MY CHILD, AND AN EVEN GREATER ANOINTING WILL REST UPON YOU THROUGH MY HOLY SPIRIT", SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS. 

Maybe you're facing an "interruption" in your life right now, that you weren't prepared for, but maybe it's very well a divine interruption for you and God is indeed preparing you for something greater too! Be still and know that He is God! Trust the process! Even when you can't feel Him moving like you think you should, rest assured that He is moving!

P.S. I realize we should never hope for a trickle of God's power and Holy Spirit and giftings and anointing when He certainly has an overflow prepared for us. Let it flow, Lord. Let it overflow.

Turn to Him: A Word!

Sharing what the Lord spoke to my spirit. I know it is for someone(s). I pray it brings edification and encouragement to your life. 

"Your situation may look bleak or hopeless right now but I, the Lord God, have come by today to remind you that through Me it's not what it seems. For I am a God of hope and restoration. I am the fixer and mender of all things. Turn to Me and look unto Me this day. For I am the Author and Finisher of your faith. Trust that I am turning it around and working this situation for your good, says God".
