Whining Stops & Worship Begins!

Being convicited by the Holy Ghost surely isn't an easy process, but I thank God when we do still feel conviction. If we are no longer feeling conviction, that's when we sure need to be concerned. That convicting power of the Holy Ghost is what helps us keep growing and moving forward in God. Even when it hurts. The pruning process is never meant to be pain free, but prettiness comes from it. Blooming and beauty are results after the needed pruning. Pruning produces growth.

I'll never forgot a time in my life when I heard loud and clearly, after my months of nothing but whining, folded arms during church services of refusing to worship while being a mess of tears and living in the offense... when the Holy Spirit pricked my heart and the Lord spoke to me, "Are you going to worship or are you going to whine"?! Are you going to trust Me to be your problem solver or are you going to keep whining about it. Are you going to worship me in spirit and in truth until the peace comes or are you going to keep whining and walking in the being offended mode! Are you going to worship Me and move forward so I continue using you for My namesake & growing you or are you going to whine and stay put and become stagnant in your walk with Me?"

Well, I didn't like that one bit. I started to become puffed up, but then I felt that nudge to lift my arms and begin to worship. My attitude changed and my focus shifted to where it needed to be; trusting the ONE to bring me through. Sometimes hard truth is what I need to shake myself out of the rut of despair, the cycle of staying in past offense, etc. 

P.S. God is still working on me! But when that whining stops and that worship begins my mindset totally changes and I feel like I'm living again! ♥️🙌

The 20 Minute Truth!

I wonder what would happen if the Lord said, enough with the lies devil! For 20 minutes you have to tell the truth about yourself, other people, and Me, the Lord God.

About himself: The devil would have to say, I was one of God’s great creations made to worship in Heaven but pride come in and I let it become about me, and I started glorifying myself and thought that I could take over the throne. I got kicked out of Heaven and because I forfeited my destiny and purpose, my job was then to begin trying to take over and ruin your purpose and destiny.

About you: I know the purpose and plan for your life, but I started back with your ancestors creating chaos and confusion so you would not realize this. I created nothing but lies, I heard purpose and destiny and all I do is try to stop it, if you only knew who you were, if you only knew what laid down inside of you but you are doing a good job of listening to my lies, so keep it up. Just keep letting me lead you around, and let me keep making you think you’re not loved and there is no hope for you, telling you that you’ll never be anything. 

About God: The devil then says this is the part I hate to preach, I told a little about myself, and a little about you but now I have to preach about God, well the truth is HE IS THE GREAT I AM. He’s the creator of everything. He’s the author of it all, He’s the King of all Glory, I have witnessed His creation, as He threw stars in creation and told them to stay there, how awesome God is, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord … no I don’t like this part, but even I the devil will bow and confess this and that He is the risen Savior and He is Lord of all. The Lord has a love for you that I cannot touch, His scriptures are true and nothing can separate the love between Him and His children.

Forget The Former Things!

In order to move forward in the opportunities and plans God has for our life, we must not focus on the circumstances [enemy]. Instead we must focus on the solution [God] through His word [Bible]. Remember when satan has a plan, God has another plan. God said He would turn it around. What the devil meant for evil, He will make it good!
