Just In The Nick Of Time

The year started off promising.  I was clear on the vision that God has given.  I had made an outline of the goals I desired to achieve.  I even had a clear vision of each event that would happen and the message shared.  So what happened? I’m still not sure but I definitely feel that God is working some things out and I know that He is faithful to step in just at the nick of time.

When God first gave me the vision of Mother 2 Mother CDC, I was excited but at the same time terrified.  I didn’t think that little ole me could carry it out.  It seemed too big.  But I was obedient.  Little did I know, I would be tested on just about every issue, burden, let down and the list goes on, that the mothers that I was called to serve would experience.   I understand now that it is more than just telling someone that they can make it or just hold, but you have to be willing to teach them how to pick up their cross.

I have had many people tell me to hold on that have never experienced anything close to what I have endured.  It got personal for me.  I have to be able to do and say a lot more than hold on, when a mother has no food in her cabinets and no money to buy any.  Or when the lights have been turned off and you have to make the decision to sit in the dark or be homeless.  Or when everyone that said they were for you, walks out on you.

What do you tell her…

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1

“A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” Proverbs 18:24

“I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Ephesians 3:20

I will tell her that I am holding on with her.  I am standing in the gap for her.  And my God WILL show up just in the nick of time.

Order in the Court…

As I have been preparing my children for the upcoming school year, scrambling for supplies, I have also been figuring out a method to maintain order and organization. Three children will be starting school this year, so you can imagine the amount of supplies, pencils, notebooks, crayons, markers, paper,etc.  But as I was purchasing the different things to maintain the organization or order of it all it made me reflect on order as it pertains to our spiritual being. 

I’ve been studying deliverance and renewing of the mind, two very important areas in maintaining one’s walk and having spiritual order.  ‘For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” 2 Corinthians 4:16   This summer I spent a lot of time away from home with my family.  I was totally out of my usual environment and routine.  At home, my day-to-day flows a certain way whether it be the preparation of a meal, prayer, my daily devotions, writing, etc.  I have a way of getting it all done and having order in the way that it is done.  So spending so much time away completely disrupted it and when I tell you, these past few weeks I have been working towards getting that order back.  The lack of order had created a distraction for me.  It was creating doubt, lack of motivation and unnecessary confusion.  But thanks be to God for using the little things to teach a greater lesson. 

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:2  So as I re-establish order, I will be blogging about the things that I am studying and learning in the areas of deliverance and renewing of the mind.  How do you maintain order? Naturally? Spiritually?

Starting From Forgiveness

5 Kids and 10 years later, I would be lying if I told you it was or has been easy to move on.  Yes, I forgave.  I let go of all the bitterness and gave the pain over to the Lord to heal.  But does that erase the memory or the thoughts of what could have been?  He went his way, I went mine.  Separated by an entire state, we have no interaction, just phone calls to check on the kids.  When he got out of line, I wouldn’t answer, but avoidance does not equal deliverance.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, EPH 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood…it is not the physical presence or the phone calls that create the problem.  I can avoid a ringing phone and distance can minimize the physical contact but only deliverance can free one of the spirit that seeks to kill, steal and destroy.  Deliverance deals with the principalities, powers, spirits, etc.  So when I encounter that which I was avoiding and haven’t been delivered from that spirit, I can be overtaken by that spirit.

Paul said, I must die daily (1 Corinthians 15:31) I must stay in prayer, continue in my word and rebuke the flesh that desires to sin.  I am trusting and believing God for my deliverance, not wavering but after doing all that I can, I will STAND.
