We often need a recap, especially if we have been in great struggles.
Struggles often cause us to forget — but God gives us a remedy and we can forgive, release, and let it all go!
It is the time to put on your “Spiritual Seat Belts” in preparation of the sweet assurance of God’s prepared Destiny Plan for you!
You have been chosen to be alive in 2026 and you shall see the wonders of God in the deep!
It is God’s Will that everyday our lives are fruitful, and that our actions speak louder than words.
I would rather have the fruits of The Spirit working in me, than have any gift in operation.
Having God’s Fruits of His precious Holy Spirit is descriptive of the nature and character of the Christ. Gifts are temporary — but HIS fruits are eternal.
We must remember to keep The LORD Jesus first every day and not put trust in newspapers, television or other social media outlets.
We must keep The LORD first and more important than our dearest friend or the one who shares our bed. Keep The LORD first — as He is a jealous God.
Put no confidence in the flesh. All must seek the mind of Christ.
Never put your Faith in a person or organization, you must know how to seek The LORD when no one is there.
Child of God, it is time to refocus on The LORD in prayer with fasting, weeping, and mourning.
We must come in serious seeking and unearth what is hidden and unearth the hardness of our own heart and soften it with our tears so that once again the power of God’s Word may be planted and the word of God so that it will be planted deeply in our heart so that it thrives and produces season after season.
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9 KJV.
May The LORD Christ Jesus truly bless everything that we put our hands to so that He brings together our destiny where he plants, roots, and knits our hearts together in cords of love.
A threefold cord is not easily broken. We are only as strong as our weakest link. The last will be first, the first will be last.
May we be connected by His Spirit to have one heart, one mind, and one accord where we fit.
In a very confusing railroad hub, there are many things happening all at the same time.
Do you remember when The LORD frustrated the language at the tower of Babel when “they made” the tower unto God?
The LORD is frustrating what are man’s plans so that God’s plan will be fulfilled in us.
We each must find our way. Many are being routed in various places, some not knowing fully what to do only that some sense the upheavals, confusion, and chaos.
So much is happening all at the same time causing us to feel confused, scared, and cause insecurity.
Each person must know where they fit. God wants us planted deeply, not a potted plant.
God wants us rooted, and grounded deeply and found growing upward, outward, and onward towards the sun. We each must seek The LORD for HE is not far from you…
“That they should seek The LORD, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring.” Act 17:27 KJV
The LORD isn’t separate from His Voice, His Word is forever settled in heaven.
He honors His Word above His Name!
Heaven and earth will pass away but His Word will never pass away. We must seek The LORD and find intimacy with Him again.
I know there are raw emotions, sick, and wounded hearts but you must understand HIS perspective and timing. He doesn’t miss a beat, step, he is never late, nor is He ever wrong.
So, if you are one that is being redirected in whatever way, you must understand that God has shown that in his mind the purpose is finished, and as you seek him, he will give insight on what to do.
It is imperative as we begin to move forward in faith on a different path, we must forgive if there are any misunderstandings, painful wounds, we must forgive, release them, and let them go for they have finished what they were to do.
It’s hard to communicate when nothing is settled. As we are yielding and being led by our Chief Shepherd with new paths, new people, new orders for service, new directions and that some seem to cross wires, but God!
God is linking us together, line upon line, here a little there a little shall every word be established.
We will be known by our love, and as you stretch out to move and meet new people, places, and experience new things you will know those who labor among you because it’s real!
There’s not too many out there that have that real love in them anymore. We are told to kn ow these who labor among us! Especially by their Love!
The early Church knew those among them and knew those who labored. What will it take for us to become desperate as the early Church was?
“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:12 KJV.
God will confirm his word out of the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses. Just like God told Amos the prophet, “surely The LORD will do nothing until he first reveals his secrets t to his servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7).
Sometimes transitions are not easy and often very messy. Just realize everyone is trying to find their own way.
Yes, sometimes God’s way is messy, like giving birth to a child. Yeah, it is messy, painful, and extremely stressful.
I remember giving birth to my first child. During my pregnancy the waiting time was wonderful. But the birthing process? It sure was the messy part!
I never thought I would survive the pain! It took a long time and I got to the point that I didn’t want to do it any more and tried to leave the birthing bed!
Beloved of God that is where we are, we are on the threshold of Transition!
Zion must travail to bring forth her children.
Beloved, travail is like bringing your destiny to birth, or your path, your ministry, or whatever the change is that is happening in your life!
That’s what it’s like in The Kingdom. We grow and go forth having mountains and valleys; we have deserts and storms; we go through things that are all designed to bring us into His Likeness.
Birthing His Nature and Character in us takes time, repentance, pain, suffering, and lots of intimate prayer.
Our purpose is to desire his purpose and to show others the way of God.
We love no matter how many tears we cry, and that we don’t understand, but He wants you to cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you!
Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning!
I think the Church gets religious and forgets where God has brought us from.
We want everything to be perfect, easy, and many leave because they see no room for them in religious houses.
Religion has caused us to forget or hear the humanity of the flesh in broken people.
It is a set up for God to wake up everyone who is comfortable and wants it to be easy but that is not real and not scriptural.
Why? Because we deal with real people even more so because we’re trying to lead a life before God that pleases him. However, the reality is that the church can look very messy!
God takes the mess and makes it into a message and a learning tool for his kingdom and his work.
I want to apologize if I have offended or confused anyone!
If I have done anything in the wrong spirit, please forgive me!
It is not in my nature to want to hurt anyone.
The LORD Jesus wants us to be made whole and especially in relationships.
Not everyone functions in the same field — but Love conquers all!
In Jesus’ Name!
In HIS Grace and Mercy,
