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.

    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.

Celebration Of Life

Looking back over my life I can honestly say I did good shoot, I did better than good. Loosing my mother at 16 and me being a teenage mother I didn't crumble, crash and burn. Oh I did a zig when I should have made that zag. I believed too many lies and did not pay attention to the sirens warning me to run for the hills. I have made plenty of mistakes and many I wish I could go back and reverse, but God knew the plans he had for me because His word says that our steps are ordered. I have learned a lot about the psychological makeup of people including myself and that is why nothing surprises me anymore. I am not easily tricked up even though I may act like I don't see it, I do. I expect nothing and appreciate everything. Though I may be different, I celebrate my different because it and God has saved my life.  Bad choices and learned lessons. At 52 there are things that no longer matter as they did when I was young and impressionable. Looking back, all I can say is tha...

I Won't Complain

After a few work days of buses not showing up for their scheduled stops, me getting home close to 2 hours later than normal,  and no good sleep I'm reminded still, how good God is. Even the periodic snaps of depression and anxiety haven't caused me to forget how good God is. The key is encouraging myself because all storms pass. It amazes me to see so many people unaware of the true effects of mental illness. They tell you, get over it. They are the ones who have no debilitating physical or educational knowledge of the struggles. They don't understand the fight everyday to remain in a visual normal state of mind with tending to the tasks requiring your presence. They can't understand why you cry for no apparent reason. Unaware that some wish to lay down at any given time to sleep hoping to never awake again. Unaware that at any moment a fuse can blow in ones mind and all hell can be unleashed. Unaware that they may see beauty or bronze, while a depressive is seeing...

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...
