Remember I Am Among You!

In a time of prayer this week, the Lord spoke this to my spirit: "Remember I Am among you my children, saith the Lord. Don't look around and worry about the things around you. Your surroundings will only invoke fear in your life right now. Focus on Me. I will fight your battles and help your family. I'll even help you on the job. I will bless you in your coming and in your going. Again, I will bless you. I only ask that you apply My Word to your life, and live according to My holy standards. Just let Me live among you and let Me dwell among you", says God.

17 Days!

17 days of trusting God. 17 days of full journal pages. 17 days of frustrations, isolation, and tears. 17 days of praying and believing for God to see me through. 17 days of fighting covid. 17 days for a negative result. In the Bible the number 17 symbolizes "overcoming the enemy" and "complete victory". I praise You God for touching my life once more. I felt Your healing power today 10.24.2021. You moved mightily on my behalf. You didn't have to. You chose to. I continue to trust and believe in Your healing power! Keep me near the cross and in the palm of Your hand, where I'm ever most secure! ❤👏🙌

John 10:10!

We have to realize we have an enemy... an enemy like no other. This enemy is who Jesus refers to in John 10:10.... the thief comes "ONLY to steal, to kill, and to destroy." Imagine that - ONLY to do harm to me (us)... he comes with only the intention to steal my confidence in who I am in Christ... he comes to kill relationships, to kill my body with disease... he comes to destroy faith, destroy my witness, destroy my reputation... BUT GOD! There's a 2nd part to that verse... "I came that they may have life and have it more abundantly." Jesus wants us to clearly see the contrast here. The thief, our enemy satan, comes with a purpose and plan for our lives and that is to steal, kill, and destroy us. Oh, but Jesus, also has a purpose and a plan for our lives. He wants to give us life and more abundant life. The enemy will try to steal what he can to make our life the opposite of abundant – he will lie to us until we start believing it, he will steal our joy, our peace, our trust in the Lord... he will steal our focus so we take our eyes off Jesus and put them on the circumstances we find ourselves in so that we become discouraged and defeated. If we remain blinded in our mind, the first half of that verse is all we're ever going to know. Oh, but let's shift our focus to the 2nd half of that verse and push back the enemy this day! It is way past time for us to start pushing the enemy back and speaking God's promises over our life! I am saved, healed, delivered, set free, and whole through Jesus Jesus Christ! ♡

Dead Vs Alive!

This afternoon I was out getting some fresh air, walking down our driveway, and our hydrangea bush stopped me in my tracks. My focus immediately went to the dead bloom on the left. The Lord spoke to my spirit and ask me did I not see the pretty alive bloom on the right? Y'all, you want to talk about a wake up call! It doesn't matter how long you've been living for the Lord, it seems your focus immediately goes to the bad things going on in your life instead of the beauty God has for us. Especially, when you're in the middle of a battle. Whatever ugliness satan throws at us, there's another side full of beauty. I also immediately thought about the beautiful bloom being on the right side of our bush vs. the left side. In the biblical sense, the right side is seen as a place of honor and glory and goodness vs. the left side representing evil or being unclean. Spiritually dead (left) vs. Spiritually alive (right). The enemy will lie to you and tell you everything is dead in your life, and there is no beauty left in it. You have no purpose left etc. Oh, but don't you know we serve a God that says otherwise. He is still alive and well, there is beauty still to be found, and He will rise you up from those ashes of despair. I don't care how bad it looks or how bad you feel; we've got to focus on God through it all. My mind immediately went to John 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to more abundantly." (to the fullest)

I Still Trust You Lord!

I was so down and out and discouraged this afternoon, as I continue to fight through sickness at home, but I am doing better now. Anyway, the Lord told me to start going through all of these binders and notebooks (that I keep in my bookcase). This is literally all full of handwritten or typed out notes from me since September 2011 dealing with teachings, sermons, bible study, testimony notes and ministry notes of mine. (And this doesn't include all of my journals I haven't went through.)

10 years of notes. 10 years of God growing me and bringing me through. 10 years in which it is comprised of notes over 4 churches I was apart of that eventually led me to what I call my church of completion (until God calls me home), my blog ministry, and nursing home ministry. I just started reading through some of it and was just in awe to read over certain situations and areas God has grown me from or brought me through (I had forgot about) or grown knowledge in me about His word. It would take me the rest of the week for me to go through it and read it all! Needless to say my mindframe changed in a hurry from a pity party to a praise party! ♡ God's starting a new work and new word in me. I know that. I realize that. I've started a new binder with paper and a new notebook... for what's coming! He's still working on me! He's still using me for His glory! By the way, He's still working on you and not finished with you either! Don't let the enemy tell you otherwise! Fight through that like I do! He says for me to keep hanging on to what I've told you this past week, "Your latter days will be greater than your former days!" #IStillTrustYouLord #SoLetMeHoldToYourHand

God Is In Complete Control!

God has been reminding me this week that He is in complete control. I feel this so much lately. Him speaking to me, His peace, which is perfect and passes all understanding. I feel His comfort, as He dries my tears in the moments I've felt alone this week. He sweetly reminds me that I've never alone, and I praise Him for that. I've clung to Him, and held on to His precious promises in the middle of another battle with sickness. I've learned you can either use situations like this to draw closer to God, or you can use them to push Him away. But remember His word tells us that if you will draw nigh (near) to God, He will draw nigh to you. There is a purpose in everything with God! It doesn't always make sense to my human mind, but to my spiritual mind I see and understand He is doing a new work in me. From someone who was born with a missing antibody, that there isn't a cure for, and immunotherapy doesn't help, He's reminded me of what all sicknesses and surgeries He's brought me through thus far. He's shown me His healing hand over my life. He's shown me even this week, how His Son's blood is the cure for incurable diseases. I didn't get a choice when it came to my health problems in life, but I DID get a choice of whether or not I wanted to serve God. And through it all, I know it's my calling to live for Christ and remind others that He is still a miracle working and healing God. You've come by too late to tell me otherwise. And when I have yet to receive healing from certain health issues, it doesn't make me trust God any less. He doesn't work and operate the way we do. I have to push through those discouragements and disappointments and frustrations and anxieties like everyone else; the only difference I know to tell is there is ONE who pushes me to keep going and holds my hand every step of the way! I still believe we are about to enter a season of healing and miracles; don't stop praying!

In Christ,

Kimmy♡

God Has Purpose In All Things!

I was diagnosed with Covid eight days ago. I've learned you can either use situations like this to draw closer to God, or you can use them to push Him away. Sure, I'm human and I have times of uncertainty and discouragement; times of doubt and fear. I've shed a lot of tears during this too. But God is sustaining me and bringing me through. I chose to draw closer to God. His word says that if you will draw close to Him, then He will draw close to you. There is a purpose in everything with God. While I've been at home battling this and journaling, I've heard 3 specific things in my spirit:

1. "This was a divine interruption for you to walk in a greater anointing and to prepare you for a new move of the Holy Spirit in your life and the life of your church through new gifts of the Spirit to operate in and through the church." 

2. "Your latter years will be greater than your former years."

3. "I'm using this sickness to actually build up your immune system and bring another physical healing into your life".

♡♡♡♡

God will do what He says He will do. I trust Him every step of the way.

Your Latter Years Will Be Greater!

God really started pouring into me when I woke up this morning. Even in the middle of sickness, y'all I know His healing virtue is flowing over my life and the lives of others. Just hold on! We are about to enter a season of miracles and healings! I feel it in my bones! I keep hearing in my spirit, "your latter years will be greater than your former years!" I'm living with incurable diseases, more than one, and I know others are too. But God says, "If I can knit bones back together and make the dead bones live again, if I can make man from dust, if I can raise Lazurus from the dead, if I can heal blinded eyes and open deaf ears, I can heal in your life what needs healing. My Son's blood flowed down from the cross for this reason. His blood is the cure for incurable diseases." I'm pressing into God! I'm trusting, praying, believing, anticipating! There is nothing my God can't do, and nothing is too big for Him!🙌❤

A Divine Interruption!

It is a little long, but it is a powerful word. I had saved a post on Facebook about divine interruptions. It was long, so I was going to go back and read it later. It came up in my newsfeed Friday when I woke up sick, and I just didn't want to read it then. But God directed me back to it yesterday, and as I got still and listened to Him; His words came to me in a special way.

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

The Lord reminded me that He is fighting the enemy on my behalf, so to be still and let Him fight for me. I need not fight a fight, I was never intended to fight. An interruption is a hindering or stopping of something. Having to miss church is an interruption for me. But God has a plan and purpose behind this sickness. He says, "this is Me, with a divine interruption to change your course for a 'new move of the Holy Spirit'. Embrace this divine interruption", says God.

Special favor, blessings, and a move of the Holy Spirit are on the way; He spoke this to me. The Lord showed me that in this 'divine interruption', He is bringing new gifts to the surface to operate in my life and in the life of our church, for His glory and purpose. I'm 'paused' right now in this interruption, but the Lord spoke to me that He is releasing new moves of the Holy Spirit to bring about change of hearts and lives. It's already on the way.

I submitted and surrendered everything to Him last night; my sickness and my frustrations. In embracing this divine interruption now, God has me praying over my life and our church in a special way, while I am still. He has truly taught me what I need to pray for our church, and how I need to continue praying and trusting Him. He is showing me that there are going to be mighty demonstrations of His power, provision, and positioning for this new season in my life and the life of our church... not to bring about feeling good or to stir up emotions... but to truly save, heal, deliver and set people free. I'm not focused on the frustrations now. I'm only focused on God and what He will do, and how He will move and change hearts and lives, through a refreshing and new move of the Holy Spirit.

I have much peace and expectation and excitement in my heart. And, I know I've received deliverance during this time from those tormenting dreams that started two months ago. God did a work in me with this. I haven't had those dreams in two nights. Praise God.

God took me to His word about interruptions. Time and again throughout the Bible, we see of where God interrupts what a person was doing and asked them to adjust to something different. In every case, once the adjustment was made, God accomplished His purpose through them. Noah had to stop and adjust his life purpose from what he was doing to what God wanted. God called on him to build an ark, and we know how that played out. Abram had to uproot his entire family and move from Ur to establish a new nation in Canaan. Today, we call this modern day Israel. Moses had to give up his comfortable life of herding sheep in the desert to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. The first disciples of Jesus dropped their fishing nets in order to adjust to the invitation to follow Jesus. Saul, who later became Paul, experienced his transformation when God interrupted him as he traveled toward another city to persecute Christians. When God interrupts, it often leads to enormous changes and adjustments in your life for the good of God. His purpose and glory will manifest itself through these divine interruptions.

Proverbs 19:21 "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."

Isaiah 43:19 “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?"

Your Mind Is Your Mind!

I don't know what you're going through right now?! If you're in a battle, remember that the enemy only has as much power and control over your life as you allow him to have! The mind is a spiritual battlefield, but it's YOUR mind! Defend it! Maintain it! Tear down the thoughts you know that you should NOT have! Cast out those thoughts that should not be there; send them back to hell! Do NOT allow those thoughts to enter into your heart! The mouth can't speak of things that the heart does not contain!

Put Your Bible Under Your Pillow!

I just put my Bible under my pillow. I felt the Lord speak to my heart to do this not just for myself, but to remind others to do this too. We are in an hour where the enemy is working overtime to try to torment God's people when they are asleep. I've been going through it the last couple of months; satan will send dreams straight from the pits of hell to try to torment your mind. I have to wake up, rebuke it, and push through it. The enemy is sly and sneaky; he will do anything he can to slither into your mind. Cover your mind with the Word of God; He is my shield, and I take refuge in God. I am covered from my head to my toes by the blood of the Lamb. The enemy will do everything to keep you down and discouraged; he wants to keep you isolated and feeling alone; he wants to keep you bound up and out of church; he wants to keep you sick and oppressed. I'm in another battle with sickness; I'm at home in my room but I am not alone. It's spiritual warfare, but I am being still and letting the Lord fight this battle I was never intended to fight. I have to block out the enemy to hear from God. I serve notice on the enemy that he is not going to take me out, and he is not going to back me up and push me in a corner. Last night the Lord spoke clearly to my spirit, "an even greater anointing is coming and will follow this battle"! I'm coming out once more stronger and closer to the Lord! I refuse to succumb to the trickery of the enemy! Every thing I've went through, even this year, when God has me still, I push into Him and desire for Him to teach me something and grow me! I surrender this to God; work in and through me once more oh Lord! Enough is enough; satan get under my feet and stay under my feet, because you will never win; you've already been 100% defeated by the blood of the Lamb! I will overcome by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of my testimony!🙌❤

"Dear Lord, I plead the blood of Jesus against all nightmares, torment of the mind, and sleeplessness. Father God, I ask that you protect my mind while I sleep. 'In peace, I will lie down and sleep, for You alone, O Lord, will keep me safe.'-Psalms 4:8. Amen."

In A Nutshell!

There's so much on my heart I want to share, but I will keep it as short as possible. In a nutshell, I've been through a lot more days of sickness in my 37 years than I have been well... but the God I serve continues to allow His healing virtue to flow over my life. The testimony I have is that through all of the sickness I've continued to hold on to faith, persevere with God's help, and overcome every obstacle that has come and continues to come my way. As I face yet another sickness, God begin to speak to my spirit this evening, reminding me how important it is to speak His scriptures and promises over our lives everyday. Some that instantly came to my mind were "no weapon formed against me shall prosper", "when the enemy comes in like a flood, God will rise up a standard against him", "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind", "weeping may endure for the night, but joy will come in the morning", "God is no respector of persons", "God is faithful and just to complete the work He starts in us". God has a reason for everything, and even when we don't understand God's will, He asks us to trust it. But the thing is we cannot quit. No matter what shape we are in, we still have a reason to praise God. Praise Him for His saving grace, mercy, and love. What God has proven to me over the years and again today... is even with the world in the bad shape it's in... He still wants to bless, protect, save, heal, and deliver His people. Don't allow the enemy to lie to you and tell you otherwise; the devil will have you sitting down in defeat and discouragement, bound up in fear and depression... when the Lord desires to pour out His blessings on you. Keep your focus on spending eternity in Heaven! Keep your focus on Jesus! Keep your focus on things unseen, not things seen! ♡

God Dependent!

I just want to praise the Lord for giving me another day. I want to thank Him for teaching me to speak life, healing, and restoration into my life everyday... no matter how hard the journey gets. It's beautiful now to me, how God brought me through a lot of hard times that have taught me how to completely rely on Him and to become oblivious to the drama of this world. The toughness of life and times of isolation have taught me how to be completely God dependent. It is a beautiful thing when you realize that the struggles and ugliness of life teaches you how to become so focused on God that you can learn not to be consumed with anxieties and fears. The truth is that no one is alone. There is a God who is real and loves us more than anything this world can offer. Oh let me tell you, I have battled serious bouts with depression, anxiety, and health issues. I've batted a lot of sickness just this year. God is finally restoring my joy this year after the enemy creeped in and stole it a few years back. I've made it through, and I'll continue to make it through because I've learned to take it straight to the throne room of God. It's at these intimate times where I'm laid bare emotionally before God that I realize just how badly I need Him in my life. That's the place that I find His security, hope, love, peace, and assurance that I'm going to be alright no matter the situation I'm going through. I want to encourage those who are struggling through tough times to please bring them before God, and lay those feelings or burdens down at His feet. Let Him be your strength. We were never created to be alone. Don't allow the enemy to tell you otherwise, because it's a lie from satan himself. God loves you and He cares.
