You Don't Have to Do It Alone!

"Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work."

Nehemiah 2:18 KJV

Ever get the feeling there is something aggressively opposing your very existence? Well, in reality, you had no opposition to your existence until you began to walk in the Lords purpose for your life.  Now that you have said yes to God, your circle has gotten smaller, you gained insight and wisdom and stopped sharing information with all of your friends because when you did, you found that they really weren't your friends at all!

Well, in light of all these revelations, You have decided to walk alone but, is that really the path God has set for you?  My answer is no! Some seasons in God you will have to journey alone or with a faithful few, but the Lord always brings people in line with the purpose and will he has for your life.

Like in this scripture above, in verses 10-17, Nehemiah had been given an assignment to rebuild not only the walls of Jerusalem, but to restore hope to the people.  His yes caused some snakes and vipers to rear their ugly heads to try and disrupt the purpose and plan of God, but Nehemiah, says the scripture,

 ".... arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon."

Nehemiah 2:12

He got up at night with a "Few Men" and surveyed the assignment, calculated the situation in secret with only those he could trust.  See you are not required to perform the task God has given you alone, he has already prepared your help to bring his vision to pass.

Regardless what the naysayers and the critics have to say or think, do what you must in secret, but know that God has prepared your help so when you have calculated and wrote the vision, begin to cast to those that God has released you to and watch them "strengthen their hands for this good work."

It's A Set-up!

"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;  And patience, experience; and experience, hope:  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."
Romans 5:1-5 KJV

Are you growling, snarling  or frustrated this morning?  Just stop! Take a deep breath and focus. 
The kids are testing your patience this morning, your husband can't seem to find anything he needs to get dressed for work without you and "You" are partly dressed, running in circles ready to pull your hair out!

Did I paint a good picture?  Your days are mostly smooth and have a rhythm, but today is an out of the box day, but wait, the scriptures say, "tribulations worketh patience!" Get your patience back, your peace back by realizing everything, will not go your way, but it will go God's way. The Lord is setting you up, to walk in more compassion, more patience, and more peace.  You did not wake up on the wrong side of the bed......, God just decided he was ready to work on your people skills, and to give your character a tune up, so that you are more perfect than you were the day before.

Soo, breathe deeply, check your Heart's position, check your Mind, and get your spiritual perception inline with God, because the plan is set, God's love is all over you and he had set you up to bring him glory by transforming you through this test.  What do you do, rejoice! Be slow to speak, quick to listen and slow to get angry, hope in the Lord, because he is making you better!

You Are Inimitable!

"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.  My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth."
Psalms 139:14-17 KJV

Welcome to the stage... the perfect, the incredible, the enlightening, the ORIGINAL.......... YOU!
Woman you are fantastic! There is no one  like you anywhere. They may dress like you, may try to look like you, but they can never be you.  You are the only you, there is one original, made from scratch. You are so divine that God considered your worth and decided he would fashion you in secret so that the secrets of your very creation are hidden and that a person desiring to know you intimately must first get to know your creator.

  

You were not a mistake, God knew what he was doing before your momma, even met your daddy, he had you in mind.  You purpose, your power, is woven in your very existence and you breathe in the very essence of creation itself. Do you not know?  Have you not heard, that the key to someone else's survival, healing, deliverance and breakthrough is wrapped up in the very purpose of your struggles!

Woman you were created to solve someone else's woes, so step over the test, into your triumph and lead others into their victory!

You are INIMITABLE! ONE AND ONLY!

The Lord is Strength! Thurs. December 03, 2015

" You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples."
Psalm 77:14, NIV

Many times on this rollercoaster called life, we experience more downs than we do ups in life.  unfortunately some people are only good for one ride, some for many but there are others that endure and never get off the ride because when they become physically, emotionally and spiritually tired they don't take the easy way out and get off the ride.
  Yeah, we all have the moments when we say, "I can't do this anymore!", "I quit!", "This is too hard!" and guess what all those emotions (because that is what it is) are true and valid, but we often forget that it is not our strength or power that we are to ride this coaster in, but Gods.

  God is the strength and power that keeps us from jumping off the ride, abandoning our purpose, even quitting the assignment when we feel that nothing is getting better.  It is Gods presence that gives us the power to endure the heartache and pain of life.  If we just remember who has given us the assignment and why, then we can stay the course.

The psalmist in this psalm, started off with depression and despair seeking after God in his weariness, but also exalting his circumstances more than God, but when he remembered the works of God, the things God had done in the former days he began to be strengthened and encouraged.
God is your strength, he is able to lift the heaviness of your burden, your weariness and your oppression and strengthen you in your weakness, begin to exalt the Lord and forget not his works in your life that he may give you power to stay on the Ride!!!




 

Tuesday Dec. 01, 2015- Just Praise Him!

 "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God." Psalm 42:11

There is great suffering that our Savior endured at the hands of mere men. The suffering of ridicule, defamation of character, abuse through scourging, whipping, beating and the spitting on by those whom he came to save.  He suffered all of this not so that we would not have to, but to show us the glory at the end, if we endure.

We are all suffering some how, through loss, sickness, persecution, but the truth is he never promised an easy road if we followed him, he only promised he would be with us.
Yes, following Jesus is a difficult path, and sometimes it just gets too hard to bear but I have learned to lift myself up with praise to my God, for he is my health, my strength and my protection.

So, no I will not be depressed, I will not mourn my own suffering but, I choose to praise my God who is the health of my countenance!

YES, I DECREE MY DESTINY! TUE. AUG. 11, 2015

"And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed." Ezra 6:12

God has given mankind the power to decree things, in his will and according to his word. What you command to be done and to happen according to your faith and the word of God, it shall be established.
Well, that is just wonderful because my life is not shaping up how I hoped it would be. OK? What are you speaking?

See we must understand that sickness, poverty, pain, difficulty will come into our lives but if it stays there, will NE determined by what we speak in or out of faith or in or out of God's will for our lives. The enemy is always looking for a slither of doubt, fear, anxiety, lack of confidence to wiggle his way in but, God has established you by his word!.

What do I mean by that, according to the word of God, what he has spoken will not return to him void, OK meaning, if he established you in greatness, you will achieve greatness. The enemy will use people to try to make you derail your destiny, miss your mark and to fear whether you really have the potential. God has you covered, it is already in his word!

God has built you as a temple of worship and he will not allow you to be destroyed. You are the temple of the God, and the holy spirit lives in you, no weapon formed against you shall be able to prosper, and every tongue that rises in judgment against you, will be condemned.

God and Jesus with his army in heaven are constantly fighting on your behalf and waiting for you to start decreeing your destiny! Speak back to the lies of circumstances, the deception of situations and the plots of your proclivities and decree the word of the Lord, on your behalf!

TELL THE DEVIL:  "YES! I WILL DECREE THE GREATNESS GOD SPOKE OVER ME, I WILL DECREE MY DESTINY!!!!
