God is in Your Situation!

Sharing what the Lord spoke clearly and plainly to my spirit at the end of worship during Sunday morning church service. I know it's for someone. 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 and working this situation for your good, says God". ❤🙌

When the Peace of God comes!

It takes me (us) realizing that where we want to be and where God needs us to be are two different things. When you quit fighting what you want to do/where you want to be and obey what God needs you to do/where you need to be that is when the peace of God comes. When you quit trying to do what everyone thinks you should do, and do what God needs you to do that is when the peace of God comes. Someone is struggling with that. Let me assure you that the Lord will return one day. I believe the one soul that's still on the line is what could be delaying His return. He's doing His best to beckon people to come to Him before it's too late! I've had dreams of people missing the rapture, and it was not pleasant waking up to that. But even for those that don't believe, it doesn't stop me from testifying and believing. I have to be ready, waiting, and watching for myself. I can't be ready, waiting, and watching for someone else. Just like I can't rely on someone else's shout, praise, and deliverance. I have to step out myself. The HEALER is moving and working even now. Whomever is reading this, there is deliverance and healing in God's hands despite the opposition and issue you're facing, but God is just waiting on you to lay that burden down at His feet. He's waiting on you to surrender that struggle and temptation. I don't want to be bound to hurt or disappointments! I don't want to be held captive by sickness and issues! I don't want to be oppressed by the enemy's hindrances and distractions! I don't want to be overcome by the fear and lies of the enemy! I don't want to bow to the spirit of intimidation! That's why I choose to worship Him, despite how I'm feeling! He deserves my most highest praise all of the time! When we stop trying to do it our way, and we start doing it God's way; when we stop resisting what God needs us to do vs. what we want to do... oh, the peace, joy, and reassurance that will come! When in HIS PRESENCE I lay my burdens down! ♡

The Unexpected!

I know there are so many struggles we face in today's world. Unexpected sickness and trials. Unexpected loss. Having to make difficult decisions that maybe others don't understand. Just struggling to even keep going amid the enemies tricks and lies. But in the middle of the toughness of life, the pain and ugliness, is when a focus shift needs to take place. When there is a focus shift back to Jesus and His Holy Spirit, God moves. Lives are changed. When the focus is shifted to what Jesus has the power and ability to do, people tarry in prayer and praise Him until they receive what they need from God. We are in a desperate hour of a FOCUS shift needing to take place. The enemy has so many bound up by his hinderances and distractions, that we've just quit even trying to push through them. The Lord has been dealing with me about this focus shift ALL year long. He's molding and teaching me to shift my focus to Him. When I do this, it becomes a whole lot easier to push through and carry on when the unexpected happens. He is teaching me to give Him my all, even if others around me aren't giving God their all. Why? Because of these words:

Their praise doesn't determine your praise. Their prayer doesn't determine your prayer. Their peace doesn't determine your peace. Their focus doesn't determine your focus. Their walk doesn't determine your walk.

I Am Your!

May this word encourage you as well. "Thus says the Lord, in your hour of discouragement, I am your hope. In your hour of lack, I am your provision. In your hour of uncertainty, I am your assurance. In your hour of pain, I am your healing. In your hour of chaos, I am your stability. In your hour of disappointments, I am your solution. In your hour of weeping, I am your joy. In your hour of question, I am your answer. In your hour of fear, I am your peace. In your hour of hurt, I am your relief. In your hour of loneliness, I am your comfort." 

God wants His children to know that He is everything we need and more. The days may get long and tiring sometimes, we may feel like we are out of control while this world spins out of control... but even then God is still there for us. Even when you may think what's the use or why am I still here? You must remind yourself that God still has a plan and a purpose for your life. I don't understand His will or ways at times, but I sure choose to trust Him and hang on until the end. He's coming soon. I'm ready.  So hold your head up and cling to this verse.《This is what the LORD says: “Keep your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for the reward for your work will come, declares the LORD. - Jeremiah 31:16》

One More River!

I'm thankful for an on time word of encouragement tonight. When you wake up extra emotional it makes for a long day. I realized it was Grandparents Day. I struggle badly with this day having no living grandparents. I'm always extra weepy every year. The enemy then preys on your emotions and everything seems 100x worse then what it is. I spent personable time with God. I was listening and worshipping to the song, "One More River", and God's precious words flooded my soul. ❤🙌 They soothed my soul like a healing balm. I feel like so many may be struggling with something and can also find encouragement through these words.

God says, "I am fixing it. I am already working behind the scenes. Hold on to the peace I am  sending you. It is going to be okay. I just need you to be still sometimes, and remember that I am God. Do not bow to the spirit of intimidation. Do not fret the ones who were sent on assignment by the enemy. Sure the enemy fights you, but sometimes I am testing you to see how faithful you will remain to Me, especially in the middle of the battle and struggles. Hold on to My righteous right hand. Don't fear to trust me saith the Lord. I brought Israel through the wilderness, and I delivered the disciples when they were under extreme pressure. I have My hand upon you, because you are Mine. I will protect you and lead you on through by the moving of My wonder working power. Plant you feet. Stand your ground. Stay strong. I have positioned you for this. You will come out stronger and victorious through Me," says God.

I worshipped and praised right along with these precious people, through livestream, for Sunday night service. Thankful to know and have friends from this church, including the sister singing this song. God knows what we need when we need it most. He brought the Holy Ghost comforter my way. He knew I needed this song. I'm holding on to that precious nail scarred hand. 🙌❤

"One More River"

I’ve had a lot of troubles and trials in my little life span. When I’m standing alone and the battle gets hard, I always do the best I can. I’ve crossed a million valleys and shed a million tears. But when I come to the River of Jordan, Hallelujah, then I’ll have no fear...

Chorus

I've got one more river to cross, one more mountain to climb. One more valley that I’ve gotta go thru, then I’m leaving my troubles behind. One more battle with the devil, then I know he’ll understand. I’m going thru with Jesus, Hallelujah. Holding to His nail scarred hand, holding to His nail scarred hand.

There’s been a lot of people talking ‘bout me since I’ve walked this narrow way. But that’s just another little valley, I came thru it when I prayed. I’ve climbed a lot of high mountains and crossed a lot of little streams. But when I see ole Jordan cold and dark, that’ll be the last for me...

Beware of satan's trap!

Beware of satan's trap!

Scripture: 'The Whole Armor of God'

Ephesians Chapter 6:10-18

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles (tricks/schemes) of the enemy. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.

God Will Fix it and Send it!

Tonight, I was sitting at the kitchen table watching my daddy fix something of mine that was broken. He's a "jack of all trades". I was certain I would have to buy another item to replace this one, yet I know how capable my daddy is of fixing things that seem like they can't be fixed. I know how He goes above and beyond for His family, without fail. The tears are flowing at this point, because I know God is working too. Daddy did fix this item, and it's working and looks as if it was never broken. I also realized God already had a replacement item in place for me. It's the same thing with our Heavenly Father, He's the fixer and mender of all things broken. He has the capability to put us back together in a way that leaves us whole and new. God fixes broken things, broken situations, broken relationships, broken hearts, and broken lives. What is meant to be fixed, He fixes. What you're meant to move on from, you should move on from. God's certainly fixed and mended in my life many times over. He has a way of also bringing insurmountable peace in the middle of the fixing and mending. He already has a replacement plan in place. As daddy was fixing the broken item, God was fixing a situation which I was fighting in my mind during all of this. I needed the, "I am blessed" reminder and this word! 💟

I was also reminded of a certain object which I needed for a specific purpose this week. I didn't need to spend money on buying it. I didn't need to use something nice that could get torn or messed up. I begin praying over the weekend about this object, and I go to the cabinet Sunday evening, that holds our canned goods. I was picking out food items to put out that we were planning to cook on Labor Day. I go to move a can of beans and there was the very object I needed suddenly staring me in the face. Right size. Ride shape. I grabbed it and said aloud, "God, well look at You go. That's just like You to lead me right to what I was in need of and looking for!" We don't know where this particular object came from; it's just like it showed up right on time to suit its purpose I needed it for. It served its purpose; brought so much joy and laughter to others and myself. *Something I needed to play a game with the residents at the assisted living.

I shared all of that to remind someone that: A.) no matter how broken something is in your life, God has the power to fix it according to what His perfect will is. It is fixable, even we we think it isn't in our human mind. God's got it. And, B.) if it's important to you, it's important to God. Even if it may just seem like something small and silly to others, it's isn't to God, so whatever you have need of just ask Him!🙌

<God will fix it & send it, all in His perfect way!>

“If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?” Romans 8:31b-32

“Our God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think...” Ephesians 3:20

Cling Only To Him!

I choose to trust God through it all even when things don't make sense to me in my human mindframe. That means trusting the process, trusting the unexpected, trusting the delays, and trusting His timing. I know how important it is to cling to God's goodness and rise above all of the adversity and allow my light to shine for Jesus through the dark and bleak times we're living in. Coming out of my prayer time, I lifted my head and hands towards the ONE where my help comes from. I took a hold of His righteous right hand, as I lifted my praise to Him in both spirit and in truth. In this season, in this hour. I know that I am called to pray and fast over everything we are facing in this country and that's what I am doing. Prayers are never in vain! I was reminded of the words of a song tonight, "and I see a great band of angels camped all around me. And I see the captain rising up, the challenge to meet. And I know I'm safe from harm when I'm touching Jesus. Oh, yes, the battle is His, the victory is mine, and victory is sweet." No matter how you may be feeling or what you're facing in this hour, I come out of prayer with this assurance and reminder for you and myself... GOD IS STILL HERE, CLING ONLY TO HIM! ❤🙌
