Striving To Be "Christ-Like"!

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 s...

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...

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!🙌❤

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, ...

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!

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 bei...
