"Afraid To Hope"

[15] “Call her back again,” Elisha told Gehazi. When the woman returned, Elisha said to her as she stood in the doorway, [16] “Next year at this time you will be holding a son in your arms!” “No, my lord!” she cried. “O man of God, don’t deceive me and get my hopes up like that." 

2 Kings 4:15-16 NLT

Even though in Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV) the bible says, Faith is the substance of things hoped for...Many of you are afraid to hope.

SOMEBODY: 

It's not that you don't want it; you want it, but you're afraid to hope for it, because you remember the last time you got your hopes up and was let down. So, you're not too quick to hope. You're afraid to hope.

God says, It's not that what you're hoping for is wrong, it is right. SOMEBODY: IT IS RIGHT, but it's time is not yet.

Notice in 2 Kings 4: Elisha didn't just prophesy to the woman about a child, but he gave her a time. TIMING IS EVERYTHING!!

👉You can hope all you want, but if your timing is off...

 

👉Ask God for His timing. Take it off your calendar, and put it on His calendar. 

What does God's calendar look like, what does His calendar sound like?

His calendar looks & sounds a lot like:

Habakkuk 2:3 NLT

[3] This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.

[22] At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”

Isaiah 60:22 NLT

👉So, Beloved, Don't be afraid to hope. The woman Elisha prophesied to in 2 Kings 4 did end up having a son a year later.

👉It's about timing.

Ask God for His timing. 

👉Sometimes, We get in our own way, hoping for something and basing it on when the world says we are ready for it or when the people around us, family members say we should have had it already.

👉Don't do that, but definitely hope. Make God your partner in hope. Consult Him & Not THEM.

Amen!!

"Imagine"

[25] Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 

John 19:25 NIV

Imagine Mary (the mother of Jesus) near the cross that day, watching Jesus suffer.

Imagine watching your child go through something (as a mother) and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

Imagine your child being mocked.

Jesus was mocked in Matt 27:27-31 

Imagine your child (as a mother) being bullied and there is no one you can report it to, that would even care to hear the truth.

Imagine your child being grown and not saying anything about what they're going through.

Imagine your child being grown and CHOOSING to stay in their current circumstances. Jesus chose the cross!! ✝️

Imagine (as a mother) being forced to respect your grown child's wishes, even though it's not what you would have wanted for them.

Mary had no choice, she had to except that the cross was something Jesus had to bear.

Imagine your child (grown or not), crying out because they feel foraken, because they feel abandoned by their father.

From the cross, Jesus cried out:

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Psalms 22:1 NIV

Now, Imagine (as a mother) standing in the gap for your child in more ways than they could ever imagine.

Imagine being Mary (the mother of Jesus) that day near the cross.

Imagine it being your life, your child from day to day....

Because for many of you... This is your reality. 

There are women who could never carry the type of cross you're carrying with such grace.

💜 Happy Mother's Day!! 💜

"Think Again!!"

[6] When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. [7] Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. [8] Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. [9] But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” [10] He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” [11] And God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

Genesis 3:6-11 NIV

Beloved,

There isn't anything wrong with what you want to do...It just hasn't been GOD APPROVED.

 So, The question is:  

Are you willing to take a chance on something GOD NEVER APPROVED OF, just because it looks good, just because you know there isn't anything technically wrong with what you want to do?

When Eve saw that fruit was good, saw there wasn't anything wrong with it....That's exactly what she did. She went for it, she took a chance and ate what looked good to her and she even went so far as to give some to her husband, and he ate it. He wasn't deceived (Read: 

1 Tim 2:14 KJV), but because he loved his wife....HE KNEW BETTER and yet he sinned.

If you're thinking about doing something because it looks good to you or you're thinking about doing something because you love that person....THINK AGAIN!!

[23] “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive. 

1 Corinthians 10:23 NIV

So, Think Again!!

Going for what looked good or doing it because of love COST BOTH Adam & Eve dearly:

👉They went from being comfortable in their own skin to being fearful.

👉They went from trusting God to trying to hide their sin from God.

👉They went from being supernaturally clothed in grace to being naked (exposed) and in need of God's mercy.

All because what they did was not GOD APPROVED....

Think Again!! Is it really worth the risk?

"At His Feet"

[39] Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught.

[40] But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.” [41] But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! [42] There is only one thing worth being concerned about....

Luke 10:39-42 NLT

How would you feel, if God told you all that worrying you're doing right now is unnecessary?

As a matter of fact, out of everything that has your attention right now, ONLY ONE thing is needed. 

Don't get mad because that other person chose not to do everything you're doing. Instead, Learn how to protect your peace.

It's easy to get distracted, to get busy, to get overwhelmed and worried and start trying to blame others....

When all God wants is for you to slow down, sit at His feet and realize that only one thing out of every thing you're doing is needed.

In other words, much of what you're doing can wait. Like Martha, you're worried and upset over details that really do seem so small, when compared to what's really important.

Sit at His feet and learn from Him how to protect your peace, how to be at peace even though, the world, itself is not peaceful.  Sit at His feet and learn to be content like Apostle Paul said.

He let the Philippian church know in Philippians 4:11 (NIV)

 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 

To be content whatever the circumstances that type of peace takes maturity. You have to be grown (for real) to understand that type of peace.

So, Go sit at His feet and grow in maturity!!

👉It's time to be at peace.

👉It's time to be content whatever the circumstances.

"Thankful For The Scars"

[24-25] But Thomas, sometimes called the Twin, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples told him, “We saw the Master.” But he said, “Unless I see the nail holes in his hands, put my finger in the nail holes, and stick my hand in his side, I won’t believe it.” [26] Eight days later, his disciples were again in the room. This time Thomas was with them. Jesus came through the locked doors, stood among them, and said, “Peace to you.” [27] Then he focused his attention on Thomas. “Take your finger and examine my hands. Take your hand and stick it in my side. Don’t be unbelieving. Believe.”

John 20:24-27 MSG

BELOVED,

What you went through was not just for you... It's left scars for a reason.

You were meant to be a walking testimony, the answer to someone else's doubt, just like Jesus was the answer to Thomas' doubt.

You were meant to go out your way to help build someone else's faith. There is no such thing as it don't take all that.

If Jesus could go out of His way to be there for Thomas, go out of His way to focus on Thomas....Who are you to say, you can't be there for that person who is showing signs that they need you?

You have been picked, chosen to be the one that can reach that person. Jesus went back a 2nd time to a house He had just visited 8 days prior (8 means New Beginning).

He went back because He knew without Him, Thomas would never believe what the other disciples were telling him.

👉What if you are the key 🔑 to that person's new beginning? 

👉What if their faith will never be full without you?

👉What if they can't believe them, but for some reason they will believe it, if it comes from you?

👉Can you sacrifice some of your time, and go back a 2nd time for them?

👉If not for them, do for it Jesus. Show them your scars, even if you scars still feel to you like open wounds.

"Don't Feel Bad"

[3] When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. [4] Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” [5] So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. [6] Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” [7] Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. 

Acts 3:3-7 NIV

Don't feel bad because you gave what you had,

and it was nothing like what they asked for.

Don't feel bad because sometimes, the person asking for help has no idea what they really need.

Money answers all things (Ecclesiates 10:19 KJV), but no where in the bible does it say or even imply that money fixes all things.

There's a noticeable difference between answering and fixing an issue.

If I pick up the phone when you call....That's me answering, but if God blesses me to fix what you didn't even know was the main source of your problem?

Which one serves the greater good?

Well, That's what Peter & John did when they were approached by a cripple beggar on their way into The Temple.

They gave him what they had and it wasn't money because silver and gold was something they didn't have.

Instead, They helped the cripple beggar to get back up on his feet, and that's nothing to feel bad about.

You helped them to get back up on their feet, you helped them reclaim their self- esteem, you help them stop begging.

What more can a person really desire?

You helped them start over using what you had.

So, One more time, God wants me to tell you... Don't feel bad. It's actually a good thing that you didn't have what they asked for.  It was a good thing Peter and John didn't have what that crippled beggar asked for because what was needed was so much deeper and life-changing than money in itself could ever be.

Think About it and keep giving what you have, when you can.

You are making a difference in somebody's life.

Until Next Sunday.

"JESUS, Thank You For The Garden!!"

Jesus,

Everybody wants to talk about The Cross and overlook what you went through, BEFORE you even got to The Cross.

But Not me, I can't just bypass The Garden and go straight to The Cross and forget about how you were betrayed by one of your own, betrayed by somebody close to you, betrayed by the one you gave a title,  the one you gave a position, the one you gave purpose.

Jesus, Thank You For The Garden!!

Because I cannot forget how you were  deeply grieved in The Garden. YOU ALMOST DIED of sorrow (right there in The Garden) and all you wanted was somebody to pray for you, the way you had prayed for them, be there for you, the way you had been for them.

Jesus, Thank You For The Garden!! 

My heart aches knowing the disciples were there, but you STILL felt alone in everything you went through.

My heart aches knowing you were stressed out in The Garden to the point that your tears were like drops of blood.

YET, It's the bloody tears that fell from your body that gave me my mind back.

Because for many of us, the 1st thing sin took was our mind. 

And The disciples you chose were there, but they were asleep, they were sleeping while you were pacing, going back and forth in The Garden. 1 x, 2 x, 3xs you went to them for help and found them asleep.

The same disciples you taught to pray in Luke 11:1 were not praying with you, keeping watch with you when you needed them to help carry the weight of the spiritual warfare you were feeling.

Jesus,

I repent for not being there when you needed me,  for not being where you need me to be, vigilant and on my post.

My heart aches when I think about how Judas betrayed you for 21.60

How he put a price tag on his relationship with you.

How at the end of the day, you didn't mean more to Judas than a measly $21.60.

And how sleep was more important to the other disciples than staying awake, watching with the one that had watched over them time after time.

You never sleep nor slumbered on them (Psalm 121:3), but they couldn't stand guard over you, stay awake with you for 1 hour.

Jesus,

All you needed was an hour (60 minutes) and many of us fail to give you that.

Nothing is sacred anymore.  I don't think we even know the meaning of the word.

Judas deliberately brought your enemies into The Garden. John 18:2 says HE KNEW the place... It was a place you had often shared with your disciples (it was a sacred space), but still....

Jesus, Thank You For The Garden!!

Thank you for praying YOURSELF through and giving up YOUR WILL -your desire to have that cup (of wrath) pass from you, for me.

Thank you for choosing The Father’s Will Over Your Own.

Until Next Sunday.

"Divine Assistance "

[41] Jesus walked away, about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, [42] “Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” [43] Then an angel from heaven appeared and strengthened him. 

Luke 22:41-43 NLT

When you give to God what you don't want to give, when you give to God "that thing", that situation that is HARD for you to give...That's when you get divine assistance, that's when you get help from Heaven.

Jesus got help from Heaven when in mid- sentence, He changed His focus from what He wanted to see happen and started agreeing that the Will Of God be done instead.

It wasn't easy, but Jesus did it. Jesus did what He knew needed to be done.

Beloved, 

Start agreeing with God even though His way of doing things in this season may not be the way you would have wanted.

Do not run away or shy away from it because it's hard. God wants to send his angel to do more than just encamp around you. Psalms 34:7

 God wants that same angel to strengthen you, to assist you in the areas where you are weak, but 1st you must choose to do His will, His way.

No more Burger King fantasies, you can't always have it your way and expect to get the divine assistance you need.

Think about it!! 

Somebody: You’re not getting the divine assistance you need, because you refuse to surrender your own will, your wants, the way you wanted to see things go.

You're tired because you need to surrender. Divine Assistance is available. Strength will come, you just have to learn to let go and trust God.

Sometimes,

Leaning not on your own understanding, but in ALL your ways acknowledging Him is harder than it seems, huh?

Yeah I know.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) can be a hard one, when you STILL want what you want.

I'm praying for you, Friend. 🙏🫶

[6] Again the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” “My son,” Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” [7] Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord: The word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. [8] A third time the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. 

1 Samuel 3:6-8 NIV

3×s God called Samuel.

3 xs God has called  you - representing the different seasons of your life, but because the voice sounded familiar, you kept running to people like Samuel did Eli, expecting them to say it was them.

It was God all along calling you. He needs you to stop running to people who have no idea what you're talking about, because they didn't call you and listen for His instructions.

You think that affliction was sent to hurt you, but God allowed it, so that your ears would finally be open, ready to listen. 

And NOW that you're out of what you were in....GOD RESCUED YOU...Are you ready to listen?

[15] He rescues the afflicted in their affliction, And opens their ears [so that they pay attention to His voice] in times of oppression.

Job 36:15 AMP

He's calling you by name just like He called Samuel. Give Him your "Yes Lord!!"

This is your season to be the person God needs you to be for Him. For too many seasons, you have been the person you wanted to be or who others needed you to be. This season right here is for God.

[36] For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.

"Can I Get A Witness?!!"

[7-8] A woman, a Samaritan, came to draw water. Jesus said, “Would you give me a drink of water?” (His disciples had gone to the village to buy food for lunch.)

●She gives Jesus a drink & they continue talking...

[25] The woman said, “I don’t know about that. I do know that the Messiah is coming. When he arrives, we’ll get the whole story.” [26] “I am he,” said Jesus. “You don’t have to wait any longer or look any further.” [27] Just then his disciples came back. They were shocked. They couldn’t believe he was talking with that kind of a woman. No one said what they were all thinking, but their faces showed it.

John 4:7-8, 25-27 MSG

Some people that SHOULD know better don't always ACT as if they know better....

But don't let how they treated you stop you from being a witness of how good God has been to you.

What if the woman at the well had gotten in her feelings because of the way the disciples were looking at her and decided NOT to tell anyone about the real encounter she just had with Jesus in John Chapter 4?

Yes, They should have known better than to act the way they did...But that's no reason for you to get in your feelings.

The woman at the well left her water pot there in the midst of 'the look" the disciples were giving her, in the midst of what "she could" tell they were thinking about her....And she witnessed!! 

The bible says in verses 28-30 (MSG) that she went and told the people in the village to come see a man, she invited them to Jesus.

When was the last time, you moved passed your feelings, moved passed how they were looking at you, talking about you and invited someone to Jesus?

Witness for Jesus in spite of how a few of His disciples have made you feel.

Transforming, Changing

6 Now Joseph was the governor of the land, the person who sold grain to all its people. So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.

7 As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger and spoke harshly to them. “Where do you come from?” he asked. “From the land of Canaan,” they replied, “to buy food.” 8 Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.

Genesis 42:6‭-‬8 NIV

But oh, when he was at home with them, they recognized him as the one they hated, the one they made fun of  etc....

You see, Beloved, Often times, God will use painful situations like this from your childhood to transform you.

So, now they don't even recognize him.  And so, Joseph ended up being  sold into slavery (removed from his brother's mistreatment of him). Even though, slavery seemed like something worse, it wasn't.

In what was supposed to be slavery, Joseph became a leader, when all he was before was a follower, following up in behind his brothers, talking too much, wanting to be liked, wanting to be accepted.

Genesis 37 & Genesis 39

SOMEBODY: God is using the pain to transform you, change you from being the person they always pushed around, talked about, and cruelly dismissed. Even though you desperately wanted their acceptance, God didn't allow it because you're better than that. There is a leader in you that will re-define the order of things.

But in order to get you to lead, step out of the shadows and SHINE, God had to allow the pain. The pain is what's pushing you into transformation, into your changing position.

So, Now you've come to realize the hard truth, that you don't need as much help as before, as back when you were a child.

Childish things you are now prepared to leave behind. 1 Corinthians 13:11....and when God gets through transforming you like Joseph those that hurt you won't even recognize you. There is so much more to be gained.

Selah- Pause & Think About That.

"The Good"

I spoke hastily when I said, “The Lord has deserted me.” For in truth, you did hear my prayer and came to rescue me.

Psalm 31:22 TPT

Lord, I’m left speechless and I have no excuse, so I’ll not complain any longer. Now I know you’re the one who is behind it all.

Psalm 39:9 TPT

You owe God an apology now that you can see that it was HIM all along. It was HIM who was behind it all, making it all work together for the good.

Romans 8:28 NIV

"The good" you're walking in now... It took a lot to get to where you are now, but you are finally walking in it.

You made it through difficulties that would have caused someone else to bail, to quit, to give up.

Take a moment to appreciate where you are, to Thank God you're not where you used to be or who you used to be. The things God allowed you to go through like Jacob it has birthed a significant change in you.

God allowed Jacob to wrestle all night with an angel of the Lord until he was left with evidence that he had indeed been blessed, been changed.

Jacob received a name change...He went from Jacob to Israel and he was left with a limp...

His walk had definitely changed.

Genesis 32

#ThinkAboutIt!! 🤔

How have you changed?

How have you been blessed?

Was it worth it, after all you've been through to be this new person now?

Beloved,

God had good things "the good"  that He keeps ready, prepared for you, but you had to walk into it  in His timing.

[9]  But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him...1 Corin 2:9 AMPC

So, Apologize to God for all the times you misspoke, all the times you complained and accused him of not caring, accused Him of not doing enough. Apologize because He has not deserted you.

He is the reason you are blessed. He is the reason you are changed for the better and walking in "the good." It has not been withheld like you thought.

"Surrender!!"

SOMEBODY: You despise quitting...You've already quit on so much you set out to achieve, that you absolutely refuse to quit on anything else.

Here's the problem with that though... You are confusing quitting with surrendering.

God doesn't want you to quit, but he does want you to surrender, to give it over to Him.

Right now, You are praying YOUR OWN WILL and it hurts so bad....And you might be surprised to learn that Jesus in the garden, started out praying  His own will too and it hurt so bad.

Jesus knelt down and prayed, saying, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from  me"... Jesus was  praying His own will, praying what HE WANTED God to do.

Then, All of a sudden (I'm not sure what happened), but in His next few words, Jesus surrendered His will saying, "Yet not my will but yours be done." Then, An angel appeared and strengthened Him.

Luke 22:41-43 NIV

Now, I wish I could tell you, that after He surrendered His will, He felt better.... Physically, Jesus was still hurt, still in agony but spiritually, surrendering gave Jesus the strength He needed to go to The Cross (for us) . 

  

Jesus surrendered and became the SAVIOUR of the WORLD. John 3:16

I wonder, who you will become after you surrender?

Surrender..God has bigger hopes & dreams for you, than you can even begin to imagine for yourself.

Ephesians 3 :20

God will give you the desires of your heart..But 1st give Him your heart.

Psalm 37:4

Life can be a TRIP made easier, with Jesus as your TOUR GUIDE. Isaiah 48:17 NIV

He knows the plans He has for you. Jere 29:11

Go back with her.” [16] But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay.

Stop taking the pain personally upon yourself. What happened is NOT your fault.

Believe me, you haven't lost anyone that really counts, that really matters.

All of us, who have been assigned to your life...We are still here.

You see, Those assigned to you will stay, in spite of the consequences...

Because PAIN DOESN'T CHANGE a real commitment, hardship doesn't change a real commitment. 

Ruth was assigned to Naomi and was committed to stay with her wherever she went to the end of her days.

Ruth 1:16-17 NIV

Therefore, Those of us who are assigned to your life, really meant to be a part of your life...We are still here.

Sticking & Staying Close in spite of the consequences...We have made our choice. 

The pain may be personal, but it's NOT permanent. 

Just thought you should know.

Until  Next Sunday,

LPS~Love, Prophetess Stacy

"And NOTHING MORE"

Jesus was assigned to the woman at the well. He was there to help her get healed from her past relationships and be filled with the life-changing water of salvation and  NOTHING MORE.

John 4:1-29 NIV

Beloved, It's a dangerous thing to want something or someone for YOURSELF that God does not want for you.

But this is exactly what happens when we forget the assignment God gave us concerning that person and we get close with them in a way that we shouldn't. 

 And you wonder why things are not working out the way you had hoped.

It's because where you saw a possible relationship, God saw ministry, where you saw friendship, God saw mentorship.

In John 4: Jesus told the woman at the well to, “Go, call your husband and come back.” “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband.

John 4:16‭-‬17 NIV

But what if, Jesus next words to this precious woman who was in need of salvation would have been, "I have no wife in which to speak of either? "

 See how easy it is to derail the plan of God and cause things to go in a total different direction all because we allowed flesh to get involved, all because feelings got involved?

Jesus would have cost this precious woman her salvation, her chance to be free of EVERYTHING she had been carrying had he allowed himself to feel more for her that just His assignment. 

That's why it's so important that we choose to die daily, that by choice we crucify our flesh. 

Gal 5:16-17, 24

1 Corin 15:31 NKJ

So that we can effectively minister to "that person" and have no problem keeping it about the assignment, keeping it about God and what HE SAID, and nothing more.

Galatians 5:7 CEV says,

[7] You were doing so well until someone made you turn from the truth. 

Sure hope it wasn't me...Because the one thing we should NEVER want to do (as servants of Christ) is be responsible for someone stumbling, falling, missing out on what God has for them, all because of us and our fleshly desires.

Until Next Sunday.

"He's Preparing You "

[1] When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.

John 18:1 NIV

Jesus had just finished praying, but despite all His praying...He STILL ended up getting arrested by verse 12.

👉How could Jesus' prayers not work?

👉Jesus had a prayer life. 

👉Jesus prayed to His Heavenly Father and it still didn't prevent Him from being arrested.

Many of you are puzzled and have similar questions about your own prayer life. Why didn't praying work?

Beloved,

God never promised you that prayer would prevent or stop EVERYTHING.

But have you ever considered...That just maybe, Instead of preventing or stopping the situation... 

👉Prayer is what prepared you for the situation?

👉Prayer prepared Jesus for His arrest.

Of course, He knew he would be arrested, but still he needed to prepare mentally, prepare emotionally for the actual taking away of His freedom etc.

👉You see, It's one thing to know it and something totally different to actually go through it.

👉Therefore, You need to be prepared for what's next.

👉You need to be prepared or you won't be able to go through it, you won't be able to handle it.

Jesus needed to be in The Garden of Gethsemane, praying harder than he had in days prior.

It was the praying, crying, the breaking of His Will in The Garden of Gethsemane that prepared Jesus for His arrest, and being arrested prepared Him for The Cross.

Luke 22:39-54 NKJ

👉So, Instead of being mad that your prayers didn't prevent or stop that thing from happening... 

👉In time, you will discover  what your prayer life was preparing you for all along and I hope you will look back on it and  BE GRATEFUL for the time God gave you in prayer to prepare.

SOMEBODY: He's preparing you.

“You don’t understand now what He's doing, but it will be clear enough to you later.”

John 13:7 MSG

Remember, He causes all things to work together for the good...(Rom 8:28 NLT) Even the hard things, the things you never thought would happen to you etc.

Until Next Sunday.

"His People"

18 Now the Lord will get furious and do to his enemies, both near and far, what they did to his people. 

19 He will attack like a flood in a mighty windstorm. Nations in the west and the east will then honor and praise his wonderful name.

Isaiah 59:18‭-‬19 CEV

I love that this translation says...

The Lord will get furious and do to his enemies, both near and far, what they did to his people. He will attack like a flood in a mighty windstorm.

Hear Me: The Lord is going to pay back his enemies , both near and far, for what they did to HIS PEOPLE.

SOMEBODY: You need to know the Lord is fighting for you. He has NOT stopped fighting for you.   

If you are really HIS PEOPLE -which means you're living holy, you're sold out for the Lord, no matter what...He will be like a flood against the enemy. That's how forceful his attack will be on your behalf. The battle is not yours, but HIS; they are his enemies.

2 Chronicles 20:15 KJV

Beloved...Right now, you really do have the wrong focus. Stop feeding into what the enemy is doing, because every time you do...You're unknowingly giving him the praise that belongs to the LORD. Instead, focus on your relationship with the LORD MAKE SURE that you are indeed "HIS PEOPLE", because the LORD fights for his people.

The Lord will fight for you, and you won't have to do a thing.”

Exodus 14:14 CEV

Until Next Sunday.

"Check Your Bucket List"

[8] “With me in charge,” Joseph told Potiphar's wife, “my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. [9] No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” 

Genesis 39:8-9 NIV

SOMEBODY:

If you go back and look, God has enabled you to accomplish a lot of the things on your buck list. He's placed you in some powerful positions, given you some amazing opportunities. 

There is just one thing He has withheld from you and I need you NOT to pursue it, do NOT pursue them.

In the words of Joseph, "How then could you do such a wicked thing and sin against God?"

NOTICE that if you go after that the one God is keeping from you... It will be considered wicked and you will be sinning against God.

Instead,

I need you to trust that what's being withheld from you is NOT something you need or someone you need.

Just be thankful for the many accomplishments you have achieved. The fact that your buck list is almost complete speaks volumes. GOD HAS DONE big things for you. DON'T MESS IT UP by pursuing the one thing you can't have.

Remember the bible says, The Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.

TRUST HIM.

The one thing He is withholding is not good or as good as you believe it to be, or it would have been given to you already (Psalms 37:4) as part of your heart's desire....

BUT IT WASN'T!!

Think about it & let it go!!

Until Next Sunday.

1/11/26 "Leave Me Alone"

1/11/26

"Leave Me Alone"

[35] And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

Mark 1:35 KJV 

The word “solitary” means:

🌿 A place completely alone, uninhabited, and free from interruption

The Greek word behind “solitary” is erēmos, which means:

- deserted place

- wilderness

- a quiet, empty, unfrequented spot

- a place away from people and distractions

Jesus chose this kind of place so He could pray without noise, crowds, or demands pulling on Him.

🌄 When the KJV says Jesus went to a “solitary place,” it means:

- He intentionally withdrew

- He sought a place where no one else was

- He created space for uninterrupted communion with the Father

- It was quiet, still, and empty—physically and spiritually.

💡Jesus had just come out of a long day of healing and deliverance, and solitude allowed Him to:

- Refocus

- Recharge spiritually

- Realign with the Father’s will

- Pray without distraction.

So, Beloved, 

If anyone understands what you're going through right now; struggling to find time alone, and your mind being pulled literally in multiple directions...It's Jesus when He walked this earth.

Just like you, Jesus had a tremendous amount of weight on His shoulders... 

[5] But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him....

JESUS HAD A LOT on him too.

Isaiah 53:5 NIV

It's not easy feeling the burden of others, or feeling responsible for others and still maintaining your own peace, your own clarity, your own strength, but it is doable. 

Therefore,

[6] Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing, but be saturated in prayer throughout each day.

Philippians 4:6 TPT

Find the time, make the time. Get alone with God by any means necessary. 

Until Next Sunday.

1/4/26 "Stay Humble!!"

1/4/26

#5MinutesOfFocus 

"Stay Humble"

[5] In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: [6] Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage...

Philippians 2:5-6 NIV

1st of all "God" is a title the same way that doctor, pastor, prophet, prophetess etc. are all titles and 

even though, He was qualified to carry the title, qualified to be called "God"....Jesus chose not to use it to His advantage. 

Beloved, Never use the title God has given you to your own advantage.

In other words, Don't let it go to your head and become the only reason why you do what you do.

God didn't give you that title to use it as leverage over people or for you to act as though you’re superior to anyone.

But you and I are to have the mind of Christ at all times. Christ came to serve, to be of service to those who needed Him.

6xs in The New Testament Jesus went in, did what was needed and asked that they not tell anyone, but keep what He did a secret.

Jesus was humble, not trying to blow His own name up, or call attention to Himself pre-maturely.

🤔 Think About It!!

Why are you doing what you do?

Reference Scriptures:

Matt 18:4, Matt 9:30, Mark 7:36, Mark 5:43, Mark 8:30, Matt 17:9 NKJV
