God's gift are for us to enjoy

 

When we begin to understand the depth of relationship we can have with God, it lightens the burden in our life. It just puts everything in perspective.

 His burden is easy, His yoke is light.

Matthes 11:29-30

|As I begin to go deeper into the realm of God, where His will becomes more clear to me. I experience my emotional, spiritual and physical needs are being met in a way that does not cause burdens. 

I can see His path for me more early and can enjoy the adventure set before me. The path then is lush and good to my soul. My soul will be quiet and is in peace. 

Trust yourself deeper into the presence of God. There is no end to His love for us. His gifts to us should cause us to want more of Him. HIs goodness is pulling us closer to His heart. 

I am learning, once again to take in nature and all gifts from Him with joy and thankfulness. Not to rush, trying to reach a result. But to take in the beauty of His creation.

My prayer today: Father, by Your Grace, help us to sink into your arms. Help us to find You in deeper waters, safe and secure in Your presence. Open our eyes and ears to receive Your wisdom for our daily life. In Jesus'  name AMEN

We need you Holy Spirit

 

 "Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" 
1 Corinthians 3:16

Just imagine this for a moment. 
WE are the temple of the Holy Spirit.....wow that is utterly amazing. 

How can our earthly vessels hold such a powerful being?? Glad you are asking ;)

Just as Jesus comes to live in us, the Holy Spirit will dwell in us, when invited.

"And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,"
Ephesians 5:18

This means that we should be filled with the Holy Spirit. His power (dunamis: sounds like dynamite.....right?) will help us to be the extension of God in prayer. Prayer for healing, deliverance, setting the captives free and more. The Holy Spirit helps us to overcome obstacles in the flesh and demonic realm.

"But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you."

So then, in us dwells the same Holy Spirit who raised Christ from the dead.....once again WOW. Just let that sink into your heart and mind. 

Even in these days that WE live in, He is not a smaller Holy Spirit version with us. He is just as powerful as He was in the days when God created the earth. He is just as powerful as in the days when Jesus walked on this earth, performing miracles. 

It brings me such joy to see Him move in peoples lives. Setting the captives free and bringing people closer to the Father. 

When I get the opportunity to pray people out of their hellish way of living on this earth, it blesses me tremendously. We cooperate with the Spirit of God to break the bondage (chains) that the enemy has entangled us in so that we can see this precious Freedom in Christ. (Isaiah 61:1-11, Luke 4:1)

Letting go of our worldly ways, lies  and deception by the enemy, always brings rewards of heaven: FREEDOM and BLESSINGS in Christ. 

My prayer today:
Father, help us to let go of the world and set us free from bondage. And send us, your servants to those who need YOU. Thank You, Jesus, that the Holy Spirit is with us all to bring heaven to earth. In Your name Jesus, we ask. AMEN

What path am I on?

A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. 
Prov. 16:9

Just recently, I have experienced some major change (again) and are still in transition. When I moved to my current location, I had all kind of ideas on how (finally) I would see the promises of the Lord. Well, nothing :( came to flourish. 

So, I allowed myself to start agonizing over the process, in which I found myself for a few weeks. Needless, I can tell you. 

Then, one day, I finally said: "God! What is going on here??" I was desperate to find the answer.

And the answer was not what I expected. First of all, He wanted me to move to another location and not stay where I was. I started to understand, 2018 was a short mission trip. But for a very important reason. Then, I realized that where God wanted me to move on to, was where the beginning of the promises are. 

The very exciting beginning of another mission/season was not seen by me, because I did not listen enough and didn't wait for the instructions of the Lord. I had it in my mind, what should happen.

I am sharing this with you today, to help those of you that are STUCK. Are you listening and agreeing with God where you should be and where not?  God will allow chaos if we are disobedient, to get our attention. 

After getting my marching orders, life is in balance again and foremost in peace!! Now I am able to listen more clearly and can hear where my next step is going. 



We are His sheep and He is our shepherd. The Word says that we CAN hear the Shepherds voice and we will NOT follow another. The problem is if we are not listening or we are far away, we are hearing.

So take time and sit still in His presence of Your Father, with your Bible and listen to the Shephard speaking, through His Holy Spirit and by reading the Word of God. Which is alive and life-giving. 

My prayer today: Father, help your sons and daughters to hear YOUR voice clearly, Lead them where YOU want them to be. Replace chaos with the peace of Christ. In Jesus' name. AMEN

If you need prayers for anything, don't hesitate to leave your request. It will be my pleasure praying for you.
