He sees , He knows, and He cares.







Song - He Cares By: BeBe Winans









Sometimes we do warfare, sometimes we celebrate, sometimes we cry. Sometimes we sit in silence awaiting instructions from the only one who can direct us.


God doesn't promise that life will be easy.  There will always be obstacles, testing, things that stretch us.  That is the only way we will be able to grow, is to walk through things in life.  The more you walk through and conquer, the stronger you are.  


The key to it all is....always coming back, and laying at his feet in humble submission.  When you submit your self  to God, he can correct you in love.  He can direct you and ultimately plan great things for you.


Whatever stage you are at, or season you are in, learn to stop...and listen to God for directions.  We can't follow our hearts, or instincts all the time because we have that flesh that wants to be fulfilled.  So we have't to learn to ask God what is best for me?  What direction do you want me to go.  


I can honestly say that I have come to a place that I don't care....where he takes me.  I don't care what he gives me or if he brings anyone to into my life.  As long as God is with me... the other stuff is just extra. 


I am not saying that there aren't times that I don't get lonely or wish things were different in my life.  It would be nice to be married.  It would be nice to be more financially set and it would be nice to do this and that....BUT...I would rather walk alone than be with someone who doesn't want me, or doesn't love God like I do.  I know that walking through hard times financially has taught me alot and I know God is going to use it in ministry.  So during the times of loneliness or restlessness, I know who to turn to and lean on. 


The one who rescued me.  The one who saw ALL my faults and insecurities and STILL loved me and wanted me.  That is pretty amazing. To know that the creator sees everything.  Nothing is hid.  No mask can hide it from God.  No wall is thick enough to keep him out.  He sees , He knows, and He cares.  I owe him my all.  That is where I have learned to be content right were I am. It's not that I want to stay here but I have learned how to rejoice and be grateful no matter what situation I am in.


I think we all have masks, to cover our hurts or pains, but it is awesome when God sends people into our lives to minister to those areas of our lives that we need to grow or heal. That they see beyond it all in the spirit and allow God to use them to help us.


That is my hearts desire to speak into people's lives hope, love, encourage, direction even with their masks, and towering walls.  I want to bring God's word to them.  In the end....God's word is ALL that matters.


People come, people go.  People love you , then they don't.  People will use you, ignore you, reject you.....that is their flesh and humanness. We can't build upon people but God, and his word.  When the winds of adversity come...it is God and what his word says that will reign.

The Journey

Israel's Journey to Canaan lessons




Song - When you Believe By: Whitney Houston & Mariah Carey



This blog is a reminder to myself of how we can prolong things God wants to do in us, and through us, by lack of faith or fear.  


Have you ever wondered why things are taking so long or why you aren't getting any where?  Sometimes it isn't the devil, it isn't God....it is you!


We often set ourselves up for difficulties and delay, when we fear, procrastinate, complain, doubt, and often sabotage ourselves.  


God has many things he wants to accomplish in our lives.  We just have't to learn to ask what do you want to me to learn in this season? Why am I here?  And ask for God's help.


Stepping out of our comfort zones and doing what is uncomfortable isn't easy but when we do, we can begin to see God operating in our lives.  He will give us strength where we thought we had none.  He'll take us to places we thought we never could go.  He'll reveal purpose and operate through us in ways we alone can't.  The desert experience isn't easy but what are you wanting?  To walk in the desert?  How long do you want to be in the desert?  When is your arrival to Canaan going to be, 40 years, or a few days?  It's up to you and  what you are willing submit to and learn right where you are at.

God's Faithful to His Word


Song - He's Able By: Detrick Haddon



  God’s promises coming to pass, do not depend on the whims of his creation.  God is in control and has designed His plan with all foreknowledge.  We truly limit God and deny His power when we believe that man has the ability to thwart God’s plan and purposes.  This is silly.  God is the potter and all men are mere pieces of clay.  This is the common denominator of all the false teaching out there, it denies the power of God and of the Cross.  The focus of this post will be on the Covenant promises of God after we first review HIS character.


Stand firm upon whatever God's word says or what he spoke to you.  Situations may change daily, but God never fails is dependable.


Numbers 23:9  God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?

Healing



Song- I need you to Survive By: Hezekiah Walker

You will find that even in your lowest state, if you will reach out and start ministering and helping others, that your healing, blessing will come.

So often we focus on our own situations until it becomes a selfish, self centered thing.  It isn't until you release it and begin to reach beyond your situation to others, that you will find a peace and comfort.

The greatest healing I have found was, while I was ministering to others about what they were going through. It's like my hands were busy with the Kingdom, and it gave God time to work on my stuff without my interference.  


Sometimes, honestly, I feel tired, drained and stretched thin.  It's during these times that I have't to allow God to use me all the more.  Because I know that I, personally, have nothing to offer or give. I am tired, weak, and worn.  It is then that the Holy Spirit operates the most through me.  It truly is God using me as a conduit for his anointing to flow through. 


I encourage you, no matter what you are in or facing to find someone to encourage, pray for, uplift, and watch what God will do in and through you. He will turn your mourning into dancing.  He will heal deep wounds deep within you while you minister to others. He will use you to win souls, restore back sliders, heal sick, restore families...etc...


Allow God to heal you, through helping others. I know he will.  I am a living testimony that he can and he will.





Cover the Earth Song By: Israel Houghton


So often we think that we must have fancy words or know every scripture in the bible to win a soul to Christ.  This isn't true.  All you need is love, compassion and to tell them of your testimony.  Then ask them would they like to except this Christ to be their personal Savior.  Explain they need to repent of any sins that have been committed and ask Christ to come into their lives.

Try it out.  Win a soul to Christ this week.  You can do it.
