Watching the Watchman - a Time to Discern Prophetic Words

Image
  Here we are, a few weeks into the year 2023. Based on events over the last couple of years, it feels like people are tiptoeing into the new year. We’re dipping our toes in the water to see if the temperature is favorable for swimming. Do we just wade in the water for a bit? Should we be adventurous and swim into the deep and see where the current takes us? Is it safe to climb up on the boat and journey to the middle of the ocean or will a storm happen upon us? The world was taken by surprise in 2020, a year most were looking forward to a clear vision and blessings upon measure. Yet, 2020 was a year of sickness, death, fear, isolation, and an uncertain future for the entire world. Since that time, the new year has been a time of apprehension. Will we be surprised again? Will this year be better than the last? Is it safe to let our guard down? Some Christians seek prophetic words to help them navigate new beginnings, to understand what God has in store for us or our country. They a

The world I see is God indeed

Image
  As I woke to the gentle sound of the rain this morning, I was thinking about the wonders of God. Scientists have attempted to prove God's existence with science, but they are missing the proof right before their eyes on a daily basis.   As I pondered that fact, I thought about the things God created all around us and FOR us and how His creation alone explains His thoughts about us.   God could have made butterflies drab and uninvited pests. Rather he created them to be a marvelous wonder reminding us that we can have the same transformation from a leaf eating worm to a beautiful butterfly. We are not meant to be drab or ineffective, we are meant to fly with purpose. To spread God’s word (pollinate), and have authority over Satan’s pesky pests around us.   God could have made all trees keep their leaves or created them without color. Rather he made some of them change colors after a long hot summer. Beautiful golds, reds, yellows and purples. They fall during the

God WINS what He's IN

Image
“I think I made a mistake.” My husband confessed while scrolling thru his phone. “What do you mean…mistake?” I thought he had deleted something, or wasn’t able to open an app. It’s not like it was the first time he has had trouble with his phone or technology for that matter. “I shouldn’t have put in my resignation at work. We shouldn’t have put the house up for sale. It’s been too long, and we don’t have anyone interested in the house. Maybe we aren’t supposed to move to Tennessee.” Wait…what? Half of the house is packed up, we are under contract for a house in Tennessee, plans are being made and now you have cold feet? The issue is, our move to Tennessee wasn’t our plan, it was God’s plan, and we knew it. We received several confirmations that this was what the Lord wanted us to do, plus when it’s God’s will you just know. I don’t know how to explain how you know but deep down within your soul you know that you know. There is a peace and a newfound excitement when God orchest

Yearning for Joy

Image
J oy is   different than happiness.  Joy is internal, joy is everlasting, joy is present through the good times and the bad times.  Joy doesn't come automatically, and it's not something we achieve through habits, performance, or application.  Joy is experienced only through a thriving relationship with Jesus Christ, that means we continue to advance in our personal relationship with Christ.  Joy in Christ provides us with the highest motivation and strength to contribute to society as we exemplify Christ in action, speech, and reaction; serving God and fulfilling His purpose for our lives as a witness of hope to those around us. The book of Philippians is a letter written by the apostle Paul. He begins by expressing his love and joy for the church at Philippi. This church was considered to be a sincere church, which is why they held a special place in Paul's heart. During my study today, I began to focus on this verse: "For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all w

My Desire vs. God's Will

Image
  Have you ever struggled with knowing God's will through your desire? He just found out, and needless to say, he was perplexed. “Why didn’t she share this with me?” “Why am I just now finding out?” “Aren’t we supposed to be partners in life?” “Was she keeping a secret from me?” “I don’t like secrets!” He had questions, lots of questions but I believe the most prominent one was, “Why am I finding this out after reading your Facebook post?!” “Tell me all about it,” He asked me “I want to know all the details.” I wasn’t trying to keep a secret, not at all. My husband is my best friend, my partner, and a highly trusted friend. I want nothing more than to share all my life with him but with this issue, I was searching for God’s will and not my own desire, it’s as simple as that. Don’t get me wrong with what I am about to say, women don’t have that much power with influencing our men… wellll maybe we do…but I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t influencing my husband’s desires
