1st Full 🌈

I spotted a full rainbow 🌈 this evening as I was driving for a grocery run ! My heart suddenly leapt for joy as I knew God was trying to get my attention through this rainbow. I had asked Him something this morning and this was my answer.

STILL my human heart I asked for the rainbow to re-appear just like Gideon tested the Lord with fleece. I parked my car, went into a store and when I came back after a short while, the 2nd rainbow 🌈 appeared , this time stayed only until the time I took this pic.

2nd Full 🌈

I wanted to inscribe this on my heart tonight and encourage you with this

Numbers 23: 19 God is not human,that He should lie, not a human being, that he should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?

God is a good good a Father who does not withhold good gifts from His children

Today let His love overcome all your fears. He is a good good Heavenly Father who deeply cares for you

Stay Blessed In Him

Happy Fathers Day 2022

LET’S TALK – A Series to help dismantle the lies that your mind has been telling you and equip you with the truth of God’s Word on life’s real situations

This morning I have been reading Psalm 119 . As I progress through it brought me alive. The Psalmist talks about a life revived by God, he expresses his appreciation on the very character of God and His faithfulness to us mankind. I stand in awe of His unconditional love for us everyday. And through all that awe and wonder of His great love, birthed this series ‘ Let’s Talk ‘

I wanted to help you break the lies in your mental mind that’s been tormenting you for long enough. Those thoughts that tell you are not good enough, smart enough . They need to go as they are tearing you down. Just because they are loud and strong in your mind does not mean they are true and beneficial for you

God’s Word is the truth which we build our life upon. His Word is our guiding lamp through the darkest pathways of this worldly life. His Word is the living waters that will nourish our soul and enriching our lives. So what are we waiting for ? Let’s dig in and discern the powerful truth from His Word. It’s time to dismantle the lies that have been eating the joy and peace off your life so far. Ready to be armed for the battle ? Let’s go

So often many of us struggle or encounter these thoughts in our head. Often we judge ourselves based on circumstances or situations that come by our life or we might be in.

“ I am not enough “.. “I am such a failure “ .. “ There is no way this mess can be cleared off my life “… “ I messed up big time they there is no way out “.. “ I am stuck there is absolutely no way I am recovering from this “…. These statements sound familiar to you ?

See these are the reactions to our life situations without any second thoughts when we let the devil have his way. The devil loves his job of stealing, lying and tearing down one’s life. He succeeds when he has easy access to our minds. Imagine a house without a lock or an unlocked car.. would you ever do that ? How much more precious is your mind and soul that you need to protect it from unwanted filth and dust that could potentially harm your very life ?

When in doubt, uncertainty make it a habit to turn to the Bible . When life’s failures or disappointment thoughts hit you, try to turn around even though it may be hard at that very time… and make an effort to know the truth. God’s Word and actions never harm you or propose anything other than love and forgiveness. He is a God of second chance

Today He wants to deal with your thoughts of life failures. Those thoughts that you are beating yourself up with, thinking all is over . He wants to tell you it’s ok. He has got this and He will restore your life . But He needs your permission and partnership to work on that together . When you do so He has promised you from Psalm 103:1-5 that He will forgive your sin, He will heal your disease, He will save your life from hell and it just that He will also crown you with His love and mercy

Psalm 103:1-5

He forgives your sins—Every One

He heals your diseases—Every One

He redeems you from hell—Saves Your Life!

He crowns you with love and mercy— A Paradise Crown !

He wraps you in goodness— Beauty Eternal !

This is today’s declaration. A step of faith and boldness to walk in truth and a strategy to dismantle the lies that has been holding you for long enough.. Declare this and say it out loud …

“ God’s love for me is far greater and deeper than the worst mess that I have made in my life. I break the lie that I am a failure and declare that I am more than a conqueror in Jesus who gives me strength” In Jesus Name Amen

God Bless You as you embark on this journey with me. May He arm you with the shield of faith and enable you to see the truth that sets you free from the bondages of lies. Time to take hold of what belongs to you rightfully my friend. Stay Blessed !

In Him

Christmas Eve Reflection

Jesus – The Reason For The Season

The Redemption Plan – The birth of Jesus was God’s idea to pull mankind away from the clutches of sin towards eternal life . His redemptive tool was not force, was not harmful weapon but peaceful love given freely to everyone, especially those that feel undeserved and unloved

This year our Christmas tree is still incomplete. Don’t believe me , here is a picture of the half decorated Christmas tree at our home 🙂

Undecorated Christmas Tree and No gifts under it is not the end of the world – There is more to Christmas

The Christmas gifts are still not wrapped under the tree. As a single parent, we share my daughter for Christmas which means she comes to me only on Christmas Day afternoon. Christmas might look different for many people circumstantial wise just like mine , often the busyness blows us away and we burn ourselves out. It is easy to get distracted with our guest list, family gatherings , food preparations, gift wrappings and celebrations.

This Christmas Eve, I want you to take a deep breath and tell yourself ‘ Christmas is not about me. It is about Jesus. He is the reason for the Season ‘. Shift your focus to Him and to how He would have responded to the situations you are in right now.

http://www.discoverhope.online

While being the busy ‘Martha’s this Christmas season let’s not forget to be ‘ Mary’s ‘ who take time to sit at the feet of Jesus and ask Him ‘Jesus, what gift would you like from me ?’ , after all its His birthday tomorrow !

#hopeglobalmovement

A child has been born for us

A son has been given to us

The responsibility of complete r rest on His shoulders,

And His name will be:

The Wonderful One!

The Extraordinary Strategist!

The Mighty God!

The Father of Eternity!

The Prince of Peace!

7 Great and vast is his dominion.

He will bring immeasurable peace and prosperity

He will rule on David’s throne and over

David’s kingdom to establish and uphold it by promoting justice and righteousness from this time forward and forevermore.

The marvelous passion that the Lord Yahweh, Commander of Angel Armies, has for His people will ensure that it is finished!

Isaiah 9: 6

Blessed Christmas Eve Everyone !!

Strength When Broken

WHEN LIFE SEEMS STILL

Strength when Broken. Psalm 34:18-20

He knows everything. Today is an invitation for you to Know your Fathers Heart

18 The Lord is close to all whose hearts are crushed by pain,
and He is always ready to restore the repentant one.

19 Even when bad things happen to the good and godly ones,
the Lord will save them and not let them be defeated by what they face.

20 God will be your bodyguard to protect you ,when trouble is near.
Not one bone will be broken.

In moments of deep pain, @bdwmusic “I Know “ speaks to my broken heart . Pondering on His goodness and taking time to know His heart, gives the reassurance that I don’t have to do it alone

May He minister to your heart today as you lean into Him with all your pain and troubled heart. He knows. It’s time for you to Know He cares for you deeply

Lyrics for the song below 👇

You don’t answer all my questions
But You hear me when I speak
You don’t keep my heart from breakin’
But when it does, You weep with me
You’re so close that I can feel You
When I’ve lost the words to pray
And though my eyes have never seen You

I’ve seen enough to say
I know that You are good
I know that You are kind
I know that You are so much more
Than what I leave behind
I know that I am loved
I know that I am safe
‘Cause even in the fire to live is Christ, to die is gain
I know that You are good

I don’t understand the sorrow
But You’re calm within the storm
Sometime this weight is overwhelming
But I don’t carry it alone
You’re still close when I can’t feel You
I don’t have to be afraid
And though my eyes have never seen You

On my darkest day
From my deepest pain
Through it all, my heart, will choose to sing Your praise
On my darkest day
From my deepest pain
Through it all, my heart, will choose to sing Your praise

Faith Over Fear

My prayer for you today is Ephesians 3:14-21

14 So I kneel humbly in awe before the Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah

15 The perfect Father of every father and child in heaven and on the earth.

16 And I pray that He would unveil within you the unlimited riches of his glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with his divine might and explosive power.

17 Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life.

18–19 Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!

20 Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for His miraculous power constantly energizes you.

21 Now we offer up to God all the glorious praise that rises from every church in every generation through Jesus Christ—and all that will yet be manifest through time and eternity. Amen!

Choose to overcome the fear that is terrorising you with His faith that empowers you. God is reminding you today that He is for you, He is with you and He is fighting the battle for you. Exchange your worries for His peace. Fear is a lie. Faith is the truth that exposes the lie. Trust Him enough to take care of your life. He is waiting for you. Say YES to Jesus today and unfold the abundant life He has for you

A Message with Love 💌

Pic Courtesy : Google

In a Christian walk with God, I have experienced that the hardest phase in one’s faith in God is to keep up our trust in God when we feel like the storms are tearing our life apart. We feel like it’s hard to keep going and trusting God, even when it doesn’t makes sense. It might feel impossible to hang on to that little seed of faith God put in our hearts called HOPE, even when we have no idea of what’s going to happen next in our lives.

Rest assured, I want to take a moment to encourage anyone standing at that cross road right now. Let me tell you, I have been there and it’s definitely not worth giving up your faith in God for this storm in your life, which is just a phase of your life.

My prayer for you is as you know that God is with you at all times, may you also know that He actually carries you during those special times, May you be reminded of His unfailing love for you. No, He never leaves ever and definitely not in your times of trouble. He loves you too much to see you suffer. Hang in there, God sees the bigger picture. Trust in Him. He will make and turn everything together for good !

Joshua 1:9 “This is my command.Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Stay Blessed in Him💞

Prepare NOT Propel

Here is a word of encouragement for you today !

As I was driving to pick my daughter from school, I saw a picture of a sling shot flash through my mind. I asked the Lord what He has to say and I believe this is what His heart has for you

“ This is the time to prepare not propel “

You might be exhausted and thinking life is going no where. You are tired of staying in that place and wondering when you will get out of that position in your life. Hear what the Lord has to say.

“This is the time to prepare and not propel”

I did a quick Google search on how a slingshot works .. and got the below

“The stored energy is called potential energy. The farther the rubber bands are stretched, the more potential energy is stored. When the rubber bands are released, the potential energy that has been stored up is converted into kinetic energy, which causes motion. This is how your slingshot works! “
Credit : Google

The place where you are right now is the place of your preparation ground for the possible propelling you are about to have in the future. You might be stretched farther than you have ever imagined. This preparation ground equips you with the life skills and helps you store all the potential energy required when you are ready to propel and also when you reach the higher ground. Don’t take matter into your own hands and propel when you are supposed to be on solid ground now

Take encouragement from this verse and declare it with confidence over your situation right now

Ecclesiastes 3:11 He makes everything beautiful in His time

He is never too early not too late. So don’t strive just rest in His unconditional love for you

Devotion Day 4 – The Source not Sidelines

In these modern days, people tend to get influenced by words from Godly leaders more than the actual God Himself.

‘ God Loves You ‘ …These words from a famous preacher speaks to one more than them reading the Word for themselves and knowing God indeed loves them from John 3:16. Nothing wrong in being influenced by a preacher, but no man or woman should be worshiped so much that they replace the place of God in one’s life. See when a source is misplaced, life is misplaced too.

The source that never drains, the source that is always refreshing, the source that always guides, always protects, always encourages the faint heart is Jesus Himself. Everything else is a depleting sideline.

John 15:5 “I am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches. As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from me you are powerless.

Let’s look at an example from the Bible, Saul who took consultation from a medium when He did not get an answer from the Lord. The prophet Samuel was dead, and the vast army of Philistines had gathered to fight against Israel. Frightened Saul inquires of the Lord but God was no longer speaking to Saul because of his continual disobedience. So Saul turned back to consulting with a medium, which he himself previously had banned from the Land. Saul was initially connected to the source and when things did not turn out as expected, his impatience and disobedience lead him to make wrong choices that are forbidden by God

1 Samuel 28:3-7 Samuel was now dead. All Israel had mourned his death and buried him in Ramah, his hometown. Saul had long since cleaned out all those who held séances with the dead.

4-5 The Philistines had mustered their troops and camped at Shunem. Saul had assembled all Israel and camped at Gilboa. But when Saul saw the Philistine troops, he shook in his boots, scared to death.

Saul prayed to God, but God didn’t answer—neither by dream nor by sign nor by prophet.

So Saul ordered his officials, “Find me someone who can call up spirits so I may go and seek counsel from those spirits.”

The Bible teaches us and in fact warns us from John 16:33 that in this world we will have tribulations , trials , trouble and hardships. One of the strategies God teaches us to get through these tough times, is to stay connected to the source even when it does not make sense. Staying connected to the source will help us with the strength needed for the journey and encouragement to stay on track. Changing tracks might seem the easiest option at such time but that will eventually lead to the path of destruction and chaos

John 4:13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

Today’s heavenly invite is very special for 2 groups of people.

  1. For those that are already connected to the source but finding it hard to stay the course as the mystery is not helping you
  2. For those that are connected to the sidelines and its time to change track to choose the eternal source, Jesus

For Group 1 , the encouragement from the Lord as you are waiting on Him to strengthen you is Isaiah 40:31 ” But those who wait for Yahweh’s grace will experience divine strength.They will rise up on soaring wings and fly like eagles,  run their race without growing weary, and walk through life without giving up ” Be encouraged, He sees your heart ! He will come through for you !

If you belong to Group 2, He is inviting you to be part of His family. An invitation to connect to the eternal source of life filled with joy and peace which does not depend on any circumstance. This is the day the Lord has made for you to join His family. Choose to say YES to Him

Pray this prayer with me

Father God,

Thank you for the invite. Thank you for meeting me right where I am in my journey. Thank you for refreshing my heart. As I choose to join your family and seek to live this mysterious life on earth, help me to navigate the ups and downs with your wisdom and strength. I seek to honor you in my life through my actions and words. Thank you for the source of life. Teach me wondrous things from your Word everytime I sit down with my Bible

In Jesus Name I ask and Pray

Amen

Devotion Day 3 : Re-Label your life

I bought a bike for daughter’s 7th birthday. The bike came with a manual that had specific instructions on how to put it together so it can function as intended. I was too lazy to read that manual. I wanted to save time so ignored the manual and started assembling the bike on my own , not to mention with the little knowledge I had. I got stuck half way through , still not wanting to go to the bulk sized manual that came with the bike, I reverted to youtube videos trying to get some help. The end result after countless hours of trying was a bike put together with no brake functionality, which was pretty much unusable. I finally resolved to what I should have done way earlier – to sit down, read the instructions and then fix the mess. I could have saved myself so much heartache only and only if I had turned to the original source of instruction way early , which is the manual specially designed for this particular bike. I learnt my lesson the hard way

This beautiful life sometimes takes us through ugly turns. We strive and strive, sometimes being the boss of our own lives, sometimes blindly following people ahead of us not even knowing if their path is our path and sometimes with pure ignorance bliss. Along the path, we knowingly or unknowingly take on the labels that life throws at us and believe them to be our identity / destiny. While labels that nourish our souls and propel us towards our destiny are good, there are also negative labels that are purely aimed at destruction and confusion in our life. The devil is clever in playing deceitful tactics on our minds through our situations and if we are not able to discern his lies with the Word of God, which should be our source of truth, we go down a spiral life of negativity and hopelessness.

When the world screams at you ‘ You are unloved and rejected ‘ , you defeat that lie with the Word of Truth ‘ You are so unconditionally loved that God gave His only son to die for YOU ‘ – John 3:16 .

Reading the Word of God equips you in every possible way to expose the lies of the devil and for your heart to declare His truth for your life. It is time to re-label your life. Time to tear down those labels that are not of God and to take on those labels , that God wants you to have and freely given to you. The label of the fruits of the Holy Spirit, of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness and self control

Today is a heavenly invite for you to choose to partner with God to re-label your life with His source of truth, The WORD The Bible. And when you do that, He promises that the Holy Spirit within you will help you live the abundant life He has promised you. What more can be to a life lived glorifying His name !

Galatians 5 ; 25-23 But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions

joy that overflows,

peace that subdues,

patience that endures,

kindness in action,

a life full of virtue,

faith that prevails,

gentleness of heart, and

strength of spirit.

Father God,

As I lay down my life once again before You, please help me to re-label my life with the truth from your Word. I acknowledge that I can do nothing without you and seek Your help here. Open my eyes so I can see wondrous things from the Lord. Equip me to tear down the lies that are trying to steal the joy in my life and my family members life. I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. Thank you for Your Word.

In Jesus Name

Amen

Devotion Day 2 – World Through Word

” See the world through my Word. Look through my lens. Change your perspective ” says the Lord

How hard is it to search for a lost something in the dark ? Darkness diminishes the hope of finding the lost item and eventually leads you to quit searching. When there is darkness surrounding you, there is no clarity of vision . Darkness deceives you into believing that the situation is far worse than you imagined

The world could be viewed as a place full of dark spots where if we loose our vision, we could easily get lost. We could sway from the God given purpose for our life and eventually loose perspective of His vision for us. Darkness then takes control of our thoughts and puts us in the perfect rut leading us into the belief that there is no way out of it

The Bible gives us the perfect instruction to protect ourselves from the World. To look at the world through the lens of the WORD.

Psalm 119: 130 The unfolding of Your Words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple

I love Numbers 13 . When Moses sent the spies to Canaan to see what it was like before the Israelites entered the land, all that the spies could see was the ‘giant’ men and the ‘walled city’ . They knew it was a land flowing with milk and honey but their fearful eyes could not see beyond the obstacles. They looked and perceived themselves as ‘grasshoppers’ so small in comparison to those ‘ giant’ men they saw in the land of Canaan. On the contrary, Caleb was presented with the same situation but he saw things differently. He knew there was obstacles but he also knew His God was stronger than the obstacles they faced. His perspective to look through the eyes of God made all the difference here.

Today is a heavenly invite for you to overcome the ‘grasshopper’ perspective and look at your situation / yourself through the lens of the Word .. He says ‘ You are the Apple of My eye – Zechariah 2:8 ‘ . Trust in God and overcome . You can overcome any situation with God.

Claim this verse and declare it over your life. You are more than a conqueror.

Romans 8:37-39

37 Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything!

38 So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles,[c] fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. 39 There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!

If you are ready to become an overcome through Christ , pray this prayer with me !

Dear Father,

Thank You for speaking to me today. Thank you for understanding my struggles and teaching me a way out of it. As I choose to get rid of my ‘grasshopper’ mentality help me to see things through the eyes of your Word. Teach me strategies to overcome things of this world that are not of You and help me to live out a life that glorifies You.

In Jesus Name I ask and Pray

Amen

Posted in 7daydevotion, aheavenlyinvite, fromhishearttoyours, trusttheprocess

Day 1 Devotion – Trust the Process

Simply put, God says ” Trust the Process “

We program our logical minds to instantaneous answers and into believing that anything that is not clearly visible with our naked eyes is either false or non-existent. So a making in the process is a long lost fairy tale due to the impatience we dearly hold onto

As Christians, time and time again, throughout the Bible God reminds us to trust in the process. The Bible tells us that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever from Hebrews 13:8. His loving grace and never ending compassion has always held His children’s hands, especially during the difficult and challenging times

In Psalm 56:3, God tells us that when we are afraid to put our trust in Him. It can be quite daunting to go through a process, when we don’t know the whole plan laid out. But God is trustworthy and His process can be trusted. He affirms you from Jeremiah 29:11

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

2020 was a year that no one expected. ” This is definitely not how I pictured it ” was a common statement I came across. ‘ Unprecedented times ‘ was another common phrase used which means ‘ never before known or experienced ‘

Looking at our own lives, we all can agree that everyone has experienced things in our lives that we never thought we would go through. Marriage dreams that end up in divorce, baby dreams that become empty cradles, well to do person ending up homeless just to name a few. There is a bigger temptation to believe that our lives are over as our dreams are shattered and that is no hope left for us. We are heartbroken, disappointed, hopeless and disheartened.There is a tendency to get distracted from the bigger picture as we focus too much on the inner circle, much like the frog in the well. We base our faith on our feelings and emotions and things that happen to / with us. When in fact faith should be Christ focused and Christ centered.

Let’s look at David’s life. Pretty sure, he would not have pictured his life as he experienced. After becoming a successful hero defeating Goliath, the giant with a sling shot he would not have thought he will be spending 10 years or so in a cave just because Saul was jealous of him. God’s promise on his life was that he would become the King of Israel. But the circumstances were no where to that promise. The only way David was able to raise above the circumstance was to go through that process, which was his difficult 10 years or so, to become the king God intended for him to be. David had to do his part for the promise of God to be fulfilled in his life. David believed despite the circumstances, his destiny does not change as His future is destined by a God that loves him unconditionally.

But in the day that I’m afraid, I lay all my fears before you and trust in you with all my heart – Psalm 56:3

As Christians, we have a responsibility to be part of the solution than contribute to an existing problem. Our current challenge we all face globally is Covid, it no longer is ‘ my’ problem or ‘their’ problem it is collectively ‘ our’ problem. WHY you may ask ? As one person’s negligence will cost someone else’s life.

So how do we biblically apply trusting the process to the so-relatable current Covid situation ? We all know COVID is an airborne virus, which means it can infect people through air very quickly. As responsible Christians and citizens, one logical way to stop the spread is just wear a mask. God has given humans a sound mind and when clinical experts suggest precautions, as part of the process our job is just to follow the rules. It is easy to rebel, create a controversy or question the authorities with a zillion reasoning, but at the end of the day we can only come of this situation when we realize it is ‘teamwork’ that will get us out of lock downs. Not constant whinging and blame game at each other.

All 4 developmental stages in the life cycle of a butterfly are equally important , for it to become the beautiful creature God intended it to be. So is the circumstance or situation or current stage in your life. They all are beautifully planned by your Heavenly Father and today He is just asking you to trust in His plans for your life. He is asking for your co-operation to go through the uncomfortable process you are experiencing right now, as He knows you are going to be the refined diamond at the end of this process.

Today is your heavenly invite from your loving Father asking you to trust in His process for your life.

You are like the clay in the potter’s hands, and I am the potter – Jeremiah 18:6

He knows you by name, He hears your every cry and He is with you forever

Will you choose to trust Him today ?

Father God, Thank you for speaking to me. As I lay down my desires, my hearts longings and dreams I invite you to come into my heart and life. I ask of your forgiveness for trying to be the boss of my own life. I need you now. Thank you for your love. In Jesus Name Amen

Lets Talk Life Weeds – Series

How often we get frustrated when we dream of a beautiful garden just to watch the weeds kill the life in them. Maintaining a beautiful garden requires consistent care and most importantly ensuring it is no place for weeds as they suck the life out of the garden plants.The first step towards a beautiful garden is IDENTIFYing the weeds that destroy the garden and then UPROOTing them from a place where they don’t belong

Lets look at our lives the same way, a beautiful garden where God wants us to have an ABUNDANT life full of joy and peace. But most often, there are some things that creep into our life without our knowledge that are more destructive than constructive. This week I am going to help you identify some of those dreadful weeds in your life that are stealing the joy of your purpose driven life. Are you ready for your first step towards living an abundant life ? The first step is to uproot the lies that are not from God.

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it ABUNDANTLY – John 10:10

Stay Tuned ! God has amazing things in store for you this week. Just connect with him and allow Him to work on you

Stay Blessed

In Him

A Chat Couch Invite

2020 has so far been a very unpredictable year. It has come with its own uninvited surprises and as a result infinite changes to our way of life.

During the COVID lockdown months, one thing I constantly struggled to keep up with is communication with my 7 year old. With screaming demands of a busy life, a full time remote working job, remote learning needs for a primary aged child, Bible study classes during the week, leadership training and other charity responsibilities I am involved with seem to stretch my time in all directions. Our normal long beach walks, conversations over coffee dates, movie night chit chats all seem to have been handicapped by the COVID 19 restrictions. While we strive to keep our physical bodies safe from the virus, I felt the need to keep our mental selves equally healthy and normal.

The goal was to find a way to keep up with the healthy conversations we used to have but with a slight adjustment adapting to the current situation. We had an idea. We came up with a concept of ‘ Chat Couch ‘ , I must admit the fancy name invention is from my child.

Whenever we felt a need to chat or have a conversation in the family, we were free to come to the couch and the other person will know that there is a matter to be discussed. We moved the couch to our outdoor area and we have had such good conversations to build each other up in our ‘ Chat Couch’ . I don’t believe in punishments to discipline a child in my home so our ‘Chat Couch’ also served a place where we need to discuss on behaviors that are not appropriate. As I always say’ there is a solution to every problem we face. We just need to change our perspective to think differently ‘

I was reminded of ‘ Chat Couch ‘ this evening and inspired to write this post. If you have been struggling with your ME time with GOD, then this post is just for you. With the current uncertain COVID 19 scenario, the first thing under attack is our communication with the Lord. With the various demands of life, topped up with COVID lock down challenges, it might seem impossible to have a conversation with God. It is easy to convince ourselves of excuses that we can’t do long walks or coffee dates or get some alone me time due to the restrictions. But here is the thing. A blurry windscreen will hinder your vision on what lies ahead. We are created for fellowship with the Creator. The longer we try to handle things our own, the longer it is going to take to find solutions and the more frustrated we are bound to become with zero results.

Today I encourage you to change your perspective. Look at things differently around you. Find creative ways to commune with the Lord. Once you re-discover, re-invent and re-establish your very own ‘ Chat Couch’ with Him, He will lead you and guide you through whatever mountain or challenge is trying to intimidate you or cause you to fear. It is time to re-connect with Him and take your place as His child. That’s where your strength for the journey ahead lies.

Hear this invitation from the Lord

 “Come, let’s take a break and find a secluded place where you can rest a while.”

 -Matthew 6: 31

Lord, as we draw near to you, I pray that you will engulf us with your love and teach us how to be an overcomer admist trials. Give us a clear faith-filled vision and an obedient heart to do what is right. Thank you for your unfailing mercy and grace to us.

In Jesus Name

Amen

IT IS TIME

IT IS TIME , I hear the Lord say

IT IS TIME for a transformational shift of your heart, from being a Victim to becoming a Victor. From stopping to lower yourself to being a Victim to raising up to become the Warrior you are called to be

I hear drum rolls, there is celebration. The lion of Judah is rising with His roar. He wants us to raise with Him

Isaiah 43:5

I am with you now, even close to you, so never yield to fear.

Victimisation is being defeated, by you stepping up to becoming Victorious with Him. No one has the right to treat someone unfairly or poorly, not even you to your own self. You are made in the image of God. We are meant to be working together, building each other up in love

Ephesians 4:16

For His “body” has been formed in His image and is closely joined together and constantly connected as one. And every member has been given divine gifts to contribute to the growth of all; and as these gifts operate effectively throughout the whole body, we are built up and made perfect in love.

 When one sees themselves as a person who becomes helpless and passive in the face of misfortune, they label themselves as a ‘Victim’. Did you know in doing so you give whatever circumstance that made you feel that way the power over your heart and mind to make you feel that way without realizing it is a lie. You give authority for that situation to deceive your heart that you are a victim and as a result bound to live that way. You allow yourself trapped in that lie not knowing there is a way out. You playing a victim allows you to be part of the vicious victimization ripple effect.

It is TIME you make a choice, says the Lord.

It is TIME you discover for yourself The Truth

Jeremiah 31:3

“I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love.
    With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.

You are much more than a label your situation or society puts on you ‘jobless’ ‘divorced’ ‘homeless’ ‘failure’ ‘hopeless’ ‘mental health’ ‘single parent’ and so much more. So often though unfortunately the label dominates the way we see ourselves through these false masks that we often try to hide beneath. You are a person and not a thing that can be labelled to fit in a box.

IT IS TIME you analyse those labels that you have allowed in your life to define you. IT IS TIME you allow yourself to be encompassed with His love. Allow Him to enter your heart and speak to your fears. There is no place within your heart that He can’t reach and heal, only IT IS TIME you let Him do it. Remember you are precious in His sight. Let HOPE birth in your heart.

Job’s circumstances changed drastically but He did not let His heart sway from His creator. The man after God’s own heart David held on to the Lord as his anchor in difficult situations of His life. Esther demonstrated a courageous spirit as she trusted the Lord’s timing for her life more valuable than her own life. During uncertain seasons of her life, Ruth did not give up from doing what is right in the Lord’s sight. Abraham waited patiently on the Lord for Him to fulfill His promises to Him. Jacob during his life’ struggles learnt to trust and depend on God.

Isaiah 49:15-17

I could NEVER , no NEVER , forget you.
Can’t you see?
I have carved your name on the palms of my hands!
Your walls are always my concern

None of us have been through a situation like Covid 19. It sure is an ‘unprecedented ‘, never before known and experienced time. But God who is the author of it ALL knows about it. Just like a parent calming their scared child in the dark, He wants you to know that He is there with you right in the ring of your fire

Psalms 32:8-9

I hear the Lord saying, “I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with my eyes as your guide. So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubborn when I take you where you’ve not been before. Don’t make me tug you and pull you along. Just come with me!”

Let’s keep walking round the walls of Jericho with trust as our only weapon. Let our songs of declarations of His love and faithfulness reach His heaven’s gate. IT IS TIME we join the armies of the Living King. IT IS TIME we raise Victoriously with our Victor. IT IS TIME we live fearlessly trusting His love for us. IT IS TIME you accept His invitation to be part of His family.

It IS TIME !!!!! Let’s pray together

Dear Father God,

We thank you for your unfailing love and faithfulness to us. In situations like today, where everything seems uncertain we ask that you help us rest in the arms of your never ending grace. We thank you for the peace of Christ that surpasses all understanding. We ask for tangible experiences and divine encounters where we can experience you deeply and closely. We ask your guidance to help us overcome our fears and courage to step out to shine Your light. In Jesus Name we ask and pray

Amen

Dear Lord,

On this special day set aside to honor Mother’s I ask for special touch from You for each and every one of them.

May each Mother reading this post be granted a special blessing and May all of the work of her hands not be forgotten in Your sight.

Let her example to her children be a guiding force in their lives and May wisdom be passed down to the next generation of Mother’s

May she know she is valued, loved, cherished and accepted the way she is. May she realise that she doesn’t need to strive in her Motherhood struggles but just thrive knowing that You are right beside her guiding her and strengthening her as she leans into Your everlasting arms of grace.

Amen

Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day 2020

The Dandelions are coming – An Easter Reflection

I had an encounter with the Lord this Easter morning. In this very uncertain , chaotic time of the unexpected Coronovirus pandemic that has brought the world to a standstill, I took some time to be still before the Lord. I wanted to know what was on His heart.

The Lord has been showing me Dandelions for the past few days. Not the beautiful yellow ones that bloom but the white fluffy ones full of seed.I had a vision of a dandelion being blown away by the wind and how it scatters on the ground. In that vision was a pitcher full of water and myself looking through a glass of green leaves. I sat with the Lord this morning to know more about the vision that kept repeating itself

Image Credit : Google

This is what the Lord said

” I am preparing the ground. Have your glasses of healing on and be ready with your pitcher, which I will fill with living waters . I am healing the land through you. You have a divine purpose in this season. You, each one of you and when my dandelions come , they will be planted on good soil that the devil cannot take away”

I did some research on Dandelions and found the below.

When the dandelions get dispersed by the wind, they go in the direction of the wind and MULTIPLY. They grow again and then get dispersed by the wind again and MULTIPLY where ever they are planted.

The Lord added ” During this time, DO NOT resist your change. DO NOT resist your transition. I am taking you to your purpose. I am fulfilling your call on your life. Do not resist me . Those holding the pitcher which I have filled with living waters, do it with love and not judgement or condemnation. Those that will be wearing the glasses of leaves, you have the eyes of Jesus. Jesus had compassionate eyes that were able to discern and help the most vulnerable and desperate. Act with compassion and stay close to the Father’s heart ”

I also had the picture of a ’roundabout’ just doing its circles in my head. I asked the Lord for wisdom on that and this is what He had to say

Image Credit : Google

The roundabout in itself is interesting. You can either choose to do circles around it without knowing where to go or if you have a discrete understanding on which direction you are heading to, you have an exit out of it. I had the Lord tell me that the Coronovirus is not a ’roundabout’ season where there is no exit. There is an exit we NEED to take to break it and that exit is LOVE. Love conquers everything. He said that if we have the mindset of being stuck in the loop, you will never exit a roundabout. Have a humble heart to be led to the exit

Proverbs 16:1

Man proposes, God disposes

” I conquered death and nothing is too difficult for me”

Matthew 11:15

He who has ears to hear, let him hear

“This is a time of restoration. This is the time for preparation of the ground. Everything had to be shaken up to break your pride. I am your God . You are raised for such a time as this. Wear your glass of leaves that I am giving you, carry your pitcher and be ready for the blow of the wind. I am going to take you, each and every one of you and I am going to need you to heal yourselves and the land”

Isaiah 53:5

By my stripes you are healed

” And with the power invested in you by believing that Jesus is the Lord, you will heal the nation. Easter is a day of resurrection and hope. A reminder that God is the all powerful, all knowing, I am taking my sovereign place” says the Lord

“ARISE OUT OF YOUR OLD SELVES

TIME TO PUT YOUR NEW SKIN ON

WALK IN LOVE

JUST LIKE JESUS YOUR LORD WALKED BEFORE YOU “

From my own research I was amazed on the facts I found about dandelions

Dandelion means ‘ healing from emotional pain and physical injury alike. Intelligence especially in an emotional and spiritual sense. The warmth and power of the rising sun.

Image Credit : Google

A simple blow of the wind takes those hundreds of seeds to all the corners of creation. Dandelions at first glance might look like a weed, but a closer look helps to discover their significance. They are perennials and grow in any living conditions. They are very resistant to the ever changing weather conditions. The Lord was talking about his dandelions here, ‘My Dandelions’ He says of the Pastors and Missionaries. ” When my dandelions come to you, do not consider them as weed as I am sending them to you to prepare you . Do not take my dandelions out of your life, stay connected ”

Image Credit : Google

Few other interesting facts are every part of a dandelion can be used, especially the root in the Autumn season. What a coincidence that we are in Autumn season in Australia and the significance of the root in such a season can be no coincidence. The root of the dandelion is best used in Autumn season for the purpose of healing and in medicine. The roots of the dandelion have significantly grown over summer and spring and can be easily lifted from the soil by their roots in Autumn. The Lord says ” The preparation ground is here getting ready for the harvest in spring ”

Image Credit : Google

The Lord is reminding us to persevere and stay strong through this with a heart of love and patience. He wants us to remember His power through the resurrection of Jesus. His presence is everywhere. He wants us to enjoy the sweet aroma of His presence. The beautiful blooms of the dandelions are coming but now its the season for the roots to get strong. The beautiful dandelions will make the debut in spring. Take heart the Lord has got this

Blessed Easter Everyone

Jesus is Risen ! Hallelujah ! Matt 28:6 

In Him

No matter the circumstance, just being strong and courageous doesn’t help the situation, but what makes the difference is WHO you will walk the journey with! THAT person has the ability to make or break your journey!

Joshua is blessed to have a loving heavenly Father who not only looks out for Him, but also continually encourages Him to be bold and courageous!

I just couldn’t grasp the fact THAT the depth of the Fathers love for Joshua in this passage and us is the same, then and NOW! God is good!

Ultimately it’s ones choice of heart to walk the journey with whoever they want, but good choices always lead to good consequences. The same can’t be told of the not so good choices!

Be wise in choosing who you do life with today!

Stay Blessed in Him 💞

Be Strong and Courageous
