Striving To Be "Christ-Like"!

Life gets chaotic and this world is a mess, but in the midst of it all... God's love, peace, and strength is still here, available, and sustaining for His children! ♡ Isaiah 46:4 "Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain (strengthen, support) you and I will rescue you."

When you're in recovery mode (from having surgery), you have even more time to pray and seek God. After praying over many needs and reading of the awful events in world news today... God's voice confidently speaks this to me: "Don't doubt Me in this hour saith the Lord. My glory has not vanished. My word is still alive. Stand on my word and hold on to it steadfastly. I will do what I said I shall do saith the Lord. Yes, these days are unusual and not usual, but I am visiting you. I will outshine the enemy. I will outshine the sin. Don't think it strange. I do things that can't be explained. I am the supernatural. I am the Holy ONE. I am the deliverer. I am the peace giver. I am the restoration. I am the victory. I will do miracles and the extraordinary in the middle of the unusual. I will stand with My people in this hour, and I will suppress the enemy saith the Lord of Hosts."

I can finally 100% confidently say that MY HEART IS FINE! No issues or abnormalities! I praise you Jesus! I can't praise Him enough! He deserves so much more! You're mighty! You're wonderful! You're merciful! You're victorious! I'm thankful that this is behind me! I'm overwhelmed with relief and gratitude to God! Thank you to everyone I met and who worked with me at Heart South! They were so kind and compassionate to me during all of this! ♡ I walk in God's victory and healing!!

As I come out of a time of prayer, this is what God spoke to my heart. We are in an hour where there not only needs to be a focus shift back to Him... there also needs to be a surrendering it all to Him taking place. One of my favorite hymns is "I surrender all"... 'all to thee my blessed Savior, I surrender all'. So what does it mean to SURRENDER to God?! It means trusting the process He's taking you through, it means trusting God’s timing not knowing when it will come. It means expecting a miracle not knowing how God will provide it. It means coming to the feet of Jesus every single day and saying “I trust you.” Even though it might be hard to believe right now, this is all part of a perfect plan. It may seem like a disaster, but God can turn it into something beautiful. Right now, it's foggy in front of you, and you can't see clearly... you're frustrated... you're exhausted... you're numb... but lean on Him. Seek Him. Trust His will. Find co...

God spoke to my heart a similar word last year before the election. I remember it so vividly. Tonight, He speaks this reminder again with so much clarity: "Just remind my children to keep praying for peace and protection over their mind and homes and keep trusting Me. Remind them that My peace is here in spite of it all, and that My ways and thoughts are higher than theirs. Haven't I said in My word that I am an all-knowing God, haven't I said in My word that never will I leave thee nor forsake thee, haven't I said in My word that I am faithful and will strengthen and protect you from the evil one, haven't I said in My word that I am your strength and refuge and an ever present help in time of need!? There has to be a focus shift back to Me and praying/knowing that My will be done in every situation great and small. Unless you shift Your focus back to Me, says God, you'll only be bogged down in the enemy's lies, schemes, distractions, and hindrances. Remind...
