Get Your Harvest

I work for World Vision. I am blessed. I love it. Working for a Christian organization has the best perk, God, and He is all up in it for me. The best part are the chapel service we hold every Wednesday. And yesterday was chapel day. In our streaming we were unable to see the scheduled event so I suggested viewing Zion's River Church of Tacoma Wa. Thank you Tamara Beane. The message presented was awesome. Aaron Hunter who gave the message hit the nail on the head. We can not give up. We must step forward in faith because we are a blessed people of God. I felt like it was Sunday morning and I wanted to shout and praise God just like I was in Sunday service, I held it together just a little. The tears and emotion from the Holy Spirit confirmed yet again what God is saying saying to me and He is whispering to you too.

Though we are in a spiritual famine and a physical famine, we will gain double and in that gaining we must sometimes leave our present space and go into a new land and conquer. Here is an example. Genesis 26:1 NLT reads, Now a severe famine struck the land, as has happened before in Abraham's time. So Issac moved from Gerar, where Abimelech, king of the Philistines, lived. The Lord appeared to him and said, "Do not go to Egypt. Do as I say and stay in this land. If you do what I say I will bless you. I will give all this land to you and your descendants, just as I solemnly promised Abraham, your father. Now, jump over to Genesis 26:12-20 NLT. I will point to the beginning of verse 12 which reads, That year Issac's crops were tremendous! He harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the Lord blessed him. 

Obedience. OBEDIENCE Obedience. It all comes down to obeying God and His direction and commandments. Keeping God in first position. A friend of mine said to me,  delay is not denial. I thought on that and let it sink in. She is right. We will be delayed for a time. We will be discouraged and we will want to give up. Stop. Listen to the Holy Spirit. Keep your footing. I have found myself discouraged and in that I am quick to make snap decisions. Stop. Press pause I tell myself because I know God and I want and desire to be the recipient of His blessings. Why? It is simple. His ways are better than my ways and His thoughts are better than my thoughts. All good gifts do come from the Lord. 

I encourage you to stand firm in the message and gifts you have been given. Remove all negative thoughts that you are not worthy, that you can't do it, this is the talk of the enemy and no weapon formed against you will prosper. Don't believe the lies of satan or anyone who tries to distract you. When you are being blessed, the attack on you increases. Fight. Praise God. Usher in the Holy Spirit, the helper.

Get your thoughts in line with what God says and watch your harvest grow. Take action. Take authority. You are a winner. 

You are BLESSED.

  1. This piece really touched me Lyn. Amazing how God gives me exactly what I need just when I need it. Thank you for allowing him to use you in such a way. It gets hard at times although wrong know his word to be true, but sometimes we are not obedient because we are scared to stand on faith. As much as I hate to admit it I have been guilty of this myself. And God has had to put me in positions where I had no other choice but to wait on him. And he always showed up. Experienced lots of delays but never denied.

Spectators Never Win

1 Corinthians 9:24-26 in the NLT Paul tells us, “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing”. I am reminded with every breath, the race I am running. I know that God has given me the vision and because He alone is omnipotent, having unlimited power, I have won, I just have to run. I may stumble and fall, I may get scratched up and bruised, but run I must.   An athlete does not go into a race with doubt and fear. They are not concerned with who is cheering them on. A runner cannot focus on the runner next to them thought they are aware that they are there. A runner is focused on the run, the finish line, and the score board that tells them if they have beaten a previous record for the win.   Being a runner on the track is the same as

Win The Race With Endurance

Today has been a good day. How many of you get up in the mornings and say this? Do you get up with anticipation and drive to do all that you can in peace, or do you get up dreading the day before it even starts? You have a choice to either be grateful or in torment.  After a great call with a friend I haven't seen or talked to in over 30 years until a few weeks ago spoke so much life and confirmation in to me today.  I was reminded about endurance and running the race that God has placed me in. This race is nothing about what I want, it's about what His will is for me and nothing more. You see, we have to surrender our will for His will because as you know, God's will is the platform in which we have been placed at the starting line to run and not faint or grow weary. We been called and hand picked for a time such as now. Its urgent and immediate. Are you running to it or from it?  The past few months have been challenging on many levels and with these challen

Stop Hiding Your Flaws part 2

In my last post, I talked about our flaws and why we shouldn't hide them. When I say flaw, I do not mean to insinuate worthlessness. No, I am pointing out that what others may see as a flaw, God created as a masterpiece, unique and particular. Yes, everything about you is unique and that is why I express the importance of not hiding. The definition of a flaw: a mark, fault, or other imperfection that mars a substance or object. Our lives are filled with many flaws. Unable to give birth,  unable to read or write, unable to drive a motor vehicle.  Deeper flaws of the physical and emotional are disfigurement,  physical disability,  missing limbs., mental illness.  These are all unique. Why do I say unique?  Because each of the above mentioned is an open door to revealing much more than the flaw itself. It is an opportunity to share and enlighten someone who needs to hear your story and see the winner before them. Courageous. Not defeated or defective. As I continue to bala
