There are some who need to hear this!

Some may feel they are not good enough by man standards to serve God. Some may have even been told by others that they are not good enough. Some may have given up and walked away. I am telling you right now we all have a calling, God given talents and it takes us all doing God’s work in order to reach out to others.

DON’T let the enemy stop you from doing what God is calling you to do! You have God given talents; God given gifts! You have a calling upon your life! Don’t allow the enemy to keep you from getting to where God wants you to be.

“Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve.” (Colossians 3:23-24).

Bees with butterfly wings…

I had a vision of something that was different two weeks ago. I saw a good size, like the size of a thumb in diameter, green stem. The stem was bent because of what was at the end, a flower, was so heavy with pollen it made the stem bend.

I then saw the thing that was different. I first saw butterfly wings; they had a beautiful blue color throughout them. I noticed what they were connected to, it wasn’t a butterfly but a honeybee. The bee flew up to the stem and landed on it. There were more, I saw another bee just like the first and it came up and landed behind the first one on the stem. I then noticed three more flying in one behind the other getting ready to land, behind the other two.

I have to say that seeing either in a vision is different but to see bees with butterfly wings, that’s really different! The butterfly wings that the old life is gone, and the new life has begun. In the Bible, bees signify prosperity, wisdom, and growth.

The butterfly wings and the bees go with something God said to me the follow day, confirming even more what He told me. There were of them, five represents God’s grace. The color of the stem was like a beautiful green color of a healthy stem and the size of it was big and it looked strong. Green speaks of health and abundance; wealth and prosperity; healing, renewal, and fruitfulness.

This year has been different for sure. I thought that I was blessed to see what He already shows me but that morning, like two weeks ago. God said, “I am going to pour even more into you.” He is doing that for sure and He confirms it in mighty ways.

“Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.” (Jeremiah 33:3).

“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act.” (Psalm 37:5).

It doesn’t matter!

What you did, what you said or what you thought. When you truly repent and asked for His forgiveness. The slate, the past, the things you thought, did or said, have been wiped clean. It doesn’t matter what man says or man thinks because God has the last say. The things you did or thought you did release it to the Lord. Let go and let God have it.

When you do that, it means you start to have a heart change. The life you once were living is the life you no longer live. You change, your thoughts change, the things you do change, you are not the same.

Step into what He has for you. He is watching and waiting and like His word says He will leave the ninety nice to come after the one when the one turns to Him.

“If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them gets lost, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountain and go in search of the one that is lost? And if it turns out that he finds it, I assure you and most solemnly say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not get lost.” (Matthew 18:12-13).

Already Standing On Solid Ground…

I no sooner woke up the other morning when I started hearing a song. I knew the man’s voice and the words I was hearing but it did not come to me who it was until I looked up who the person was singing it. The song was “Amazing Grace” but not the old song but a newer version of it. “Amazing Grace, Already Standing On Solid Ground” by Tim Hawkins.

Then the first thing I saw hours later when I signed online, when I looked at memories was a confirmation. I had posted something a year before that about standing on solid ground. It was about a snake biting me. I posted about it on the 15^th. The name “It jumped out trying to bite me on the leg.” Gotta love God’s confirmations! To receive one confirmation is a blessing but two on the same morning was more than I could ask. The other confirmation was what I posted yesterday about flying through the air. “The vision was clear and so was the meaning.” There was also a confirmation that happened with it.

My best friend and sister in Christ, Pat has said something about me every sense I came to the Lord. She says, “When she came to the Lord, she hit the ground running and hasn’t stopped.” That is true and I feel it’s the way WE ALL should be when it comes to our walk with God. We should make Him the first and last part of our day and everything in between. We should want to know Him more and know Him better, not because we feel have to do it but because we want to do it. That way our feet are always standing on solid ground. I don’t want the ground underneath my feet to be shaky I want it to be solid! Don’t you?

“He brought me up out of a horrible pit [of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay, and He set my feet upon a rock, steadying my footsteps and establishing my path.” (Psalm 40:2).

Bringing up the past…

If you continue to judge others by their past, you better be ready to be judged in the future!

Just because someone once was on the wrong path in life doesn’t mean they can’t change. Look at those who God used in the Bible who had sinned, some greatly in some people’s eyes. Yet to God, sin is sin, there is no difference between them. He forgave them, and many became great servants for Him. One thing we should not do is bring up peoples past because in doing so, God may just show us our future.

“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” (Matthew 7:1-2)

They have a heart of gold…

Not sure who this is for, it may be for many but I could not continue to do what I was trying to do until I stopped and wrote the following down, what God put on my heart.

They love much and because of it they are hurt much. They give all of themselves and because of that their heart at times is trampled upon. They have been hurt, talked down too and looked at by some like they are not worthy enough. Despite all of that they continue to love, they continue to show mercy, they continue to show grace to others. Yes, they have a heart of gold, one that God cherishes so very much.

Never let what others think of you change you. You are dearly loved, highly cherished and you matter.

“Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking; it is not provoked; it does not take into account a wrong endured. It does not rejoice at injustice but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail]. Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], and endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7).

He was waiting once again, the waiting angel…

He was waiting once again, the waiting angel…

I came to realize something…

In time, as I continued to move forward, I came to realize something. I realized that the fires that I have been through, the flames that had at one time left scars, that I had someone there with me the whole time. I made it through the smoke, the fires, the things that satan put in my way to try and destroy me. The things he did to try to keep me from getting where God was wanting me to be. What the enemy did not see, was there was another in the fire standing next to me, helping me through it all. He had other plans for me, plans for me to come to know Him in a mighty way.

I walk in victory each day; that does not mean I will not feel the heat, the flames the enemy will throw at me as I continue my walk with God. It means when he tries, I have something to fight the flames with, a fire extinguisher, a force, a power behind me that can put out any fire the enemy puts in my way. Yes, like many, I have been through much, been through fires, been through the flames but I am still here. The fires, what satan meant to use destroy me, all it did was make me stronger! For I know who I am, I AM A CHILD OF GOD!!! I am covered by His mercy, forgiven by His grace, and chosen by His love. I have victory every day, victory over the enemy because I will never give in, never give up! I have no desire to please man, I want to please God! I want to be one who hears the words, well done my good and faithful child, not, go away from me I never knew you!

“When you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.” (Isaiah 43:2).

“Do not fear [anything], for I am with you; Do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you; I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].” (Isaiah 41:10).

What are your twelve?

If you were to write twelve things down onto small stones, it had to be just one word on each one. What words would they be when it came to God? Now before you read anymore stop, think about it just for a moment (don’t over think it) and write the twelve down. I say this because I have the words for me that are set in stone when it comes to God written at the end of this.

I came up with the first seven easily, then the last five came within a minute or so. Now, that you did that, if you were to stack those stones on top of one another which one would be at the top of the stack?

These are the words that came to me in the exact order that I wrote them down this morning. Protection, Grace, Mercy, Blessings, Healing, Love, Forgiveness, Promises, Guidance, Gifts, Truth and the last one, Word! That’s exactly how I would place them on top of one another, with His word being at the top. If I was to really think about it for a moment, His word covers everything!

“Every word of God proves true; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.” (Proverbs 30:5).

I watched as a line was drawn in the sand. Guess what I did?

As I stood there watching a line being drawn a thought came to me. I had to make a choice, step over it or to stay on the other side. What did I do? I stepped over it! I not only stepped over the line, I took off once over and I have never looked back. There is no stopping me, there is no turning back for me, no giving in, and no walking away. The decision on my part had been made and I will never change my mind.

What line was it? The line that divided the worlds ways and Gods way. As soon as the scales fell off my eyes and my ears became unblocked, I realized something. I saw how walking in the ways of the world was leading me to a place I did not want to go. A place that was as far away from God as you could get, hell.

Something happened that day to me. I became a new person and I was born again. I was forgiven of my sins, shown mercy and grace and then something really awesome happened. I felt a love like no other love. It felt like it was being poured through my skin and straight into my heart. I gave my heart, my life, my everything to God that day. I not only stepped over the line, I took off running and one day I will see what is waiting for me, my Savior and those who have gone before me. What a day that will be! Oh yes! What a day that will be!

Have you stepped over the line yet? My prayer is that if you haven’t that you will make that decision soon!

“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.” (Ephesians 1:7).
