Everything is working together


DEAR ABBA,
  
    The month of April would enter with winter temperatures looming. The residue of a previous season cannot deter blooming and birth from a new season. I would not abandon my idea of Spring. The reality of Spring would fill my soul. Spring is one of favorite seasons. Sometimes we may decide to cower away from things we cannot control. I encourage you to position your mind in a firm stance. Do not let go of your faith in God. Dear Abba, help me to grip my faith tightly. April winds would challenge my resilience, but a word from the Lord would anchor my soul. Abba would remind me to create the world I would want to see using my words.
    
     Genesis chapters one and two explain the formless matter awaiting creation. It would be from chaos God would create the heavens, earth, light, bodies of water, animals, humans and more. The Holy Bible tells us, God… said, saw, called, made, placed, created, blessed, and rested. Creating my world (the one I would like to see) would entail heart-wrenching prayers and authentic worship. Prayers enable us to become sensitive to Holy Spirit. Prayer and fasting cut away the old for something new and fresh. Creation is new and fresh. Worship would connect me to the lifeline which is God’s presence. We can then clearly see the future through God’s eyes when we worship God. Worship is an intimate act between Creator and One made in His image and likeness. While we worship God, we see Him in the full scope of His splendor, glory, weight, and love. We see the vastness of His existence. God is almighty, and there is nothing too hard for Him. The Father is seeking for worshippers. He wants to give us access to His presence.
   
     In God’s presence, we can discern obstacles to the next level of our life. Interference can come from the demonic realm or self-sabotage. The thief according to Jesus has plans “to steal, kill, and destroy” regarding all things about the believer. When hindrance challenges our progress, we have God’s power and authority to subdue, bind, and loose. We are not without defense against an attack or diabolical scheme. We are unstoppable in God. Jesus would conclude His narrative in John 10:10 about the thief with His plans for the believer. “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” There is the word of the Lord. Any difficulty or rough patches along our process pales in comparison to the word of God and a word from the Lord. Sometimes a word is all we have until we can “see” what God is planning. There is sight before manifestation; seeing into the invisible realm, discerning the mind of God.
    
     The plan of God for us is like puzzle pieces. We do not have all the details to place the components to complete His vision for our life. We have our faith and trust in His goodness to sustain us. However, we can become afraid or anxious during the process. These emotions will provoke us to make mistakes and hasty decisions. God will sometimes wink at these debacles, chastise His children, but He wants us to resume the journey. We must learn to Honor God and honor the process. The two works in alignment with purpose and destiny.
   
     The process, purpose, destiny, and our identity are the what and who for our abundant life in God. Let’s not lose hope in God’s faithfulness. Let us remember we can request a reprieve and a refreshing as tests of faith and hardship and life may take a toll. Dear Abba, this all a bit much, I must cry this out. That is one way to phrase a need for a breather while you press forward.  As we grow in grace, we learn to inhale and exhale and bounce back from the hits we experience and engage with God and His decisions for our path. #SpringForth #ForgeAhead #ExpansionIsHere

Shaking and Shaping

  DEAR ABBA,       I am holding space for parents who had to bury their children, parents caring for ill or special needs children, and parents whose children (juvenile & adult) are incarcerated. There is no sadness, grief, or despair impossible for the power of Adonai to heal. We don't have the right words to console the hurting hearts of parents. However, we know that prayer and intercession can go where we cannot. Kind Father, let your love shower these parents and their living children. We know your righteousness and justice will prevail in each situation. We release rivers of healing, deliverance, and salvation. In Yahshuah's name, Amen.     Some things can happen to alter the trajectory of our lives. The Ruach Ha'kodesh said to me,   "Shaking and Shaping."   We hear the Prophets of The Most High Yah speak about exposure, and changing of the guards, the remnants arising, and the unseating of leaders either by de...

JUMP

DEAR ABBA, I cannot help feeling like so much has happened in a short amount of time this year of 5784. I am not overwhelmed, however, I am aware of times and seasons meeting like a crash of ocean waves against our shores.  There was a dream I remember from years ago with crashing ocean waves. I was standing between the shore and the ocean. Suddenly, waves overcame me and I was covered by the water. Immediately I was awakened from the dream. The dream scared me. I did not know if I drowned or made it out alive. Ruach Ha'kodesh explained, "Whether or not you make it is up to you." Obviously, I am still here! APTTMHYAH!!! (all praises to the most high Yahshuah)  Adonai has ensured my victory at each turn of events on my journey. I am sure the same can be said of you! Recently, I heard the word JUMP.  When I shared the word with my Sister in the Lord, she responded with Psalm 18:29 . F or by thee, I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped (j...

The Blood changed my story

  DEAR ABBA,     I'm reflecting on my seven-year experiences.  In the past, I would go from the "wilderness" to the "promised land" with little to no analysis of my experiences. The proper way is to ask what is the lesson in the "wilderness." Thank you, Dr. Apostle Elaine Johnson for teaching me this over a decade ago, and Happy Int'l Women's History Month.      Abba Yah will take us into transition and we do not know why or for how long. Which brings on frustration and confusion. Unlike in the past, I asked. Whew! What a process and journey it was for me. Only believe was a term I learned and used often as my belief system became firm.       The Lord showed me the way to receive and activate greater depths of deliverance for my life. Some people who knew me through the years should realize I am not who I was because of growth.  The "wilderness" is the only way  to one's "promised land." I will save the many details of m...
