This right here, well this is how awesome God is. The past few days I have been in Nashville speaking and ministering to women who are deeply seeking new life and hope in God. I cannot begin to explain how in awe I am right now of HIS faithfulness. He placed the desire in my heart to speak to the masses when I was 15, and now at 41 after many seasons of pruning and purifying me, shaping me and molding me, HE is now releasing me to share my testimony of how Great, loving and awesome HE is. For all the pain and suffering I have endured and for all the days I was weak but He was my strength, He has redeemed and resurrected for HIS glory in HIS kingdom. I am in complete awe of what is taking place and how the kingdom is moving.
Y’all we are in a place and time where God wants to see breakthroughs and HE wants to see us walking in the grace and freedom HE so desires us to walk in. He loves us so deeply and passionately and He wants to take back what the enemy has tried to steal, kill and destroy and that is your identity in HIM.
We have to come to a place of complete and full surrender. A place where we are down on our knees and a place where Jesus can meet us on our level, speak and breathe life back into the broken, open wounds that burn so intensely within us and a place we are willing to allow HIM to heal and resurrect our dying desolate souls. The journey is hard and the storms are turbulent but when you enter into the eye of the storm and you allow HIM to be the pilot of your life, He will get you through the toughest and roughest of days and He will land you and solid ground. There may be bumps along the way, but He will not allow you crash. He will place His belt of truth upon you and He will fight off the enemy when he begins to attack. He has already won the battle, Scripture tells us so. He doesn’t need us but HE WANTS us to be a part of HIS story but we need to come to a place that we recognize and own our own brokenness and its time to relinquish our control over to HIM and begin the healing journey.
There is fabulous freedom that comes from submitting to HIM and obeying HIM. We need to forgive, even when someone or something doesn’t deserve it and we need to allow Him to heal and redeem what satan tried to use to destroy us. The enemy will be defeated and God will continuously have victory. But we need to take responsibility and own our own testimonies and we need to begin to share how God met us in our brokenness and how he brought life from death. How he brought hope to the hopeless and how he shines light into darkness. The power of HIS blood and the power of our testimonies is what defeats the enemy. DO not allow him to deceive you or have control over your life any longer. Stand firm in who you are in Christ and to whom you belong. You are HIS beloved and HE is waiting for you to run into HIS arms with anticipation and expectations of the hope and new freedom that He wants to shower you in.
He turns our ashes into beauty and our mourning into dancing. I am a true living testament of this. My brokenness, the darkest nights of my soul are turing into my greatest ministry. Gosh He is faithful and good..
Trust in HIM, seek His face and have faith the highest of mountains WILL be moved. To HIM be ALL the praises and glory for HE is good ALL the time
John 8:2-11New International Version (NIV)
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 “No one, sir,” she said.
