Striving To Be "Christ-Like"!

Through the prompting of the Holy Spirit and time in prayer came this timely word: "I have not departed from you. I will not withdraw myself from you, thus saith the Lord, if you will follow Me, call on Me, worship Me, and remain obedient to Me. Nothing that the enemy does catches Me by surprise or confuses Me, for I am NOT the author of confusion. Remember that nothing derails Me; there are things that shake your world, there are things that pull you to the very lowest point of your life, but nothing derails Me nor My plans for your life! I AM BIGGER, says Jehovah God. I am greater than any problem that you face. There may be events that have knocked you to your knees, but I saw it all before it ever came to your eyes. Oh, I am still God in the midst of it all! I am your rock & firm foundation, so stand on My word, and promises for they are YES & AMEN, thus saith the Lord of Hosts".  #GodStillSpeaks #JustListen #GodsWordIsNotInVain #AcceptHisWord #ObeyHim

"GOD WON'T LET YOU QUIT" ...satan will use hurtful experiences you've endured in the past or even going through now, to suppress who you are really called to be. The enemy knows that if he can kick you when you are down, you will not want to shine for Christ or walk in your calling and purpose. You need a fresh word in this hour, to push on through and not quit. *See Jeremiah 20:9. I love that passage of scripture, because it shows the man of God weary of sharing the Lord’s message. It seemed like no one was listening to him, even though he was doing exactly what God told him to do. It seemed to be falling on deaf ears. The Prophet Jeremiah wasn’t seeing any results and this frustrated him to no end, to the extent that he said he regretted that God even called him. This great man of God, at one point, decided that he would no longer speak the word of God. He didn’t want that life anymore. But you know what changed his mind and kept him going after all? The 2nd half of...

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 fully knowing that God will protect His chosen and suppress the enemy. 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 ex...

 "So be truly glad. There is wonderful JOY ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world." 1st Peter 1:6-7  *JUST HOLD ON AND DON'T GIVE UP. For JOY is soon to come.*
